Tian Tian and Zhang Xiaomo came back from a walk and found that the men were still in the study and had not come out. Tian Tian couldn't help but wonder: "What's so mysterious?" ”

Zhang Xiaomo moved his lips, but he didn't say anything in the end. It was about her, but in fact, she was also innocent to her, because it was not what she wanted at all: "I ......"

Finding out her embarrassment, Tian Tian smiled and stuffed Xiao Yu into her arms: "No matter, let them be busy, we just have to be responsible for playing with the children." By the way, Xiao Mo, do you want to be a model for me? I'm going to draw a picture of you mother and son. ”

"Huh? May I? "Except for the full moon day, she didn't really take any photos with the children, let alone paint portraits.

Tian Tian smiled: "Of course you can." It's a little late today, so let's do it tomorrow. Babies, sleep well today, and tomorrow grandma will draw for you, okay? ”

"Good!" Although the two children are only a few days old, they are exceptionally smart and clever, and their personalities are calmer than ordinary children. Zhang Xiaomo is not worried about whether they will be able to sit still tomorrow, but is worried about another point: "Mom, isn't your art exhibition about to start?" It's still ......."

Tian Tian smiled and hugged Xiaohan: "Don't worry. In this exhibition, I always feel that there is still one painting that satisfies me, and maybe your painting will become my masterpiece. ”

Just as she was joking, Zhang Xiaomo didn't care, and walked to their room with the child in his arms with a smile: "Okay, it's time to take a bath, it stinks!" It's almost stinky baby. ”

"Xiao Yu doesn't stink, but my brother stinks. He was sweaty and stinky! ”

"Grandpa said that men should exercise more, so that they will be in good health and grow taller! So that I can protect you in the future. ”

Hearing his brother's words, Xiao Yu looked disdainful: "Xiao Yu doesn't want you to protect him, Xiao Yu can protect himself." My brother protects his mother and won't let her get hurt again in the future. ”

I didn't expect the children to be less than a year old, and they would think of this, Zhang Xiaomo was excited for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

Tian Tian smiled: "It's really like." ”

“？”

"When I gave birth to Cheng Xuan and Cheng Ang, I was hurt by others because of your father and my identity. It was also at this age that the children said that they should work hard and protect me when they grow up. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Tian smiled and reached out to hug Xiao Yu: "Okay, this child is not in vain!" ”

I took a bath with the two children and played with them for a while before sending them to bed.

When they came out again, they found that Long Chengxuan and they had already come out: "Are you done talking?" ”

"Well, it's nothing. Rest early. Don't get too tired. ”

After Long Zeting finished speaking, he directly hugged Tian Tian and went upstairs to rest. Long Wenqing also smiled at the two of them: "It's not early, I'm going to rest too." Since I'm here this time, let's rest here for two days, and then go out to play after the children's birthdays. ”

"Grandpa, we're just about to get jet lag at home, so don't think we're sleeping at home every day." Long Chengxuan made a joke, which made Long Wenqing couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Xiaomo said on the side: "It may not work tomorrow, my mother said that tomorrow she and the children will be a model for her." ”

"Then the day will pass and come back for dinner in the evening." Maybe it's because I'm older, and I always want the family to be lively. Helplessly, the eldest son is busy with work, the younger son is obsessed with work and refuses to start a family, but the younger daughter has become a family, but she married in a foreign country. On this day, guarding this empty home, the old man felt really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, his life has become much more lively with his great-grandson at home recently, and now that his grandson and granddaughter-in-law have also returned, he naturally hopes that they can stay for a few more days. Even if it's a few more meals together.

Long Chengxuan thought

After a while, he said: "Grandpa, I remember that my aunt's study is still empty, let Su Hua clean it up, and tomorrow we will paint at home." They're busy with theirs, and I'm just in time to chat with you. ”

"Good, good!"

Seeing the old man's happiness, Zhang Xiaomo felt a little sorry in his heart: "Well, let's go together." ”

After sending the old man to rest, Zhang Xiaomo and Long Chengxuan went back to their own room: "Didn't I take into account my grandfather's feelings?" ”

"No one is omnipotent, there will always be omissions, not to mention that you don't have much time to live with your grandfather, and you have a sense of alienation from him." Long Chengxuan hugged her and looked at the night scene outside: "Don't worry, grandpa won't mind." ”

knew that Long Wenqing wouldn't mind, but Zhang Xiaomo still felt a little reluctant in his heart. Long Chengxuan looked at her a little helplessly: "You, you just think too much sometimes, and you always worry about this and that." Try to make it easier for yourself. ”

Although I understand this truth, I still feel a little uncomfortable. It's just that there is no other way now than to rest first, and talk about something tomorrow.

The next morning, when everyone was having breakfast, Long Chengxuan proposed to paint here, and Tian Tian agreed without thinking about it. For her, the important thing is to draw people, and it doesn't matter where you draw them.

Hearing that everyone could stay, Long Wenqing was a lot happier. Seeing him like this, after Tian Tian and the others left, Long Chengxuan said to him: "Grandpa, otherwise, you can simply move to City C and live with us." ”

Long Wenqing knew his kindness and shook his head: "Do you know why your grandfather went to stay in City B instead of living with me?" ”

Hearing this, Long Chengxuan was silent, but after a while, he spoke again: "You haven't reached the age of your grandfather, you are too selective." Moreover, with you in charge, no one dares to touch Xiao Mo and the children when I am not at home. ”

knew that the latter was just an excuse, a well-intentioned excuse to persuade him to go live, but Long Wenqing still smiled: "No need, I have lived here all my life, and I have long been accustomed to the climate here." Now let me move over there, I'm afraid my body won't be able to stand it. ”

After speaking, he patted the seat next to him: "Sit down and have a good chat with me." ”

Long Chengxuan, who had been standing, sat down beside him: "Grandpa, how is Grandpa's body now?" ”

"What else? Your grandfather is about the same age as your grandfather. The only difference is that your grandfather's level of medical care is definitely higher than that of your grandfather. But don't forget, your grandfather went through those wars before, and they also caused a lot of damage to the body. It's very rare to be able to hold on until now. ”

Although he had known this for a long time, hearing this from his grandfather's mouth, Long Chengxuan's heart was still a little uncomfortable.

It was rare to see him have such an expression, Long Wenqing reached out and patted his back gently: "Children, birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature." Sooner or later, your grandfather will have to leave us. Not now, but also in the future. Human life is a process of continuous loss. We have to learn to deal with separation. ”

Long Chengxuan nodded lightly: "Grandpa, I know." ”

"Well, when I have time, I also go over to see Grandpa, he likes Xiao Mo very much, and the children. He would be happy to see you. As for me, don't worry, I still have time. ”

Hearing this, Long Chengxuan was even more sad: "Grandpa, I ......"

"Well, let's stop being so sad, it's not for us at all. The men of the Long family should not be like this. Cheer up, and everything will be fine. After saying this, Long Wenqing stood up: "You go and go about your business, I should also take care of my vegetable garden." ”

Knowing that grandpa didn't want to continue this topic, Long Chengxuan also stood up: "I'll go and see how my mother is painting." ”

"Go ahead!"

On the ground floor of the house,

In the brightest room, Zhang Xiaomo and his two children sat on a carpet, looking at their appearance, it seemed that they were playing games. Zhang Xiaomo and Xiao Yu were having fun, but Xiao Han, who was sitting on the side, seemed to be a little bored and was playing with a Rubik's Cube.

You must know that Long Dinghan is less than a year old, and a Rubik's cube can be unlocked in less than two minutes in his hands. Seeing this scene, Long Chengxuan was thinking about whether to change him to a fourth-order Rubik's Cube to play with.

With this thought, he stood behind Tian Tian, Tian Tian's painting speed has always been very fast, only half a day has passed, and there are already three people on the painting. Although the faces are still very blurry, the appearance of the three people can already be distinguished clearly.

"How? Would you like to go in and join in the fun? ”

After listening to Tian Tian's words, Long Chengxuan shook his head with a smile, took a book and sat aside, as if he was accompanying his family.

Because of his participation, Zhang Xiaomo and the children's movements and demeanor have changed slightly, and Tian Tian has keenly captured these changes and presented them on his canvas.

Considering the children's situation, painting did not go through a whole day. At the end of the morning, after lunch, Tian Tian and Zhang Xiaomo coaxed the children to take a nap.

After coming out of the children's room, Tian Tian also asked Zhang Xiaomo to rest. She has already got what she wants today, and the rest doesn't need Zhang Xiaomo and them to be so tired.

However, for Zhang Xiaomo and them, they are not very tired, it can be regarded as a rare experience. So, after waking up, she and the children ran to the studio again.

I didn't expect to be left out because of a painting. Long Chengxuan felt a little bit of food in his heart, but after seeing Tian Tian's painting, he suddenly felt that it was worth it again. On the picture, his wife and children stay together in harmony, and there is a feeling similar to religion, which makes people feel very reassured.

But unlike that kind of painting, the people in the painting are not stereotyped and patterned, Zhang Xiaomo's movements were originally looking at the children, but her eyes seemed to be attracted by something, and turned to another angle, and the children holding the toys in their hands also turned their heads to look in the same direction.

Seeing this painting, Long Chengxuan seemed to realize something: "The painting is the scene where I came in?" ”

"Yes, originally I wanted to draw just Xiao Mo and the children. But the moment you came in, I changed my mind after seeing their expressions. ”

Facing a somewhat proud mother, Long Chengxuan also had to admit: "This idea is great." ”

"A must!" Tian Tian smiled: "I'm going to name this painting "Dad is Back". ”

Well, that's not a good name. Long Chengxuan rolled his eyes, but after thinking about it again, it seemed that this name was the most direct and appropriate: "Your painting, you have the final say." After speaking, he walked over and kissed Zhang Xiaomo: "Are you tired?" ”

"It's not tiring, it's just a change of place to play with the kids. However, when did Xiaohan's English become so good? "I thought that Long Chenghan was less than a year old, and it was already very good to be able to speak his mother tongue well. Unexpectedly, through getting along today, Zhang Xiaomo found that the children were already able to speak some very everyday spoken language.

If his wife didn't know, it was even more impossible for Long Chengxuan to know. He turned his head to look at Tian Tian: "Mom, do you teach Xiaohan and Xiaoyu to speak English?" ”

"They usually brought it with Grandi and Carlton, so they learned some spoken English. It is easier for children to learn a foreign language the fastest than when they grow up. And in addition to English, French and Greek, Xiaohan Xiaoyu has learned them all. ”

I didn't expect to send the children out for a few months, but they became elementary school bully. Zhang Xiaomo suddenly felt speechless: "It is estimated that when they grow up, I will have to be despised by the children." ”

"No, it won't! I like mom the most! While speaking, Xiao Yu hugged Zhang Xiaomo hard, as if conveying his heart.
