Chapter 64: Birthday
The car gradually drove closer to the Zhong Mansion, and the gray three-story building was already clearly reflected in Tong En's eyes.
The emotions that had been trying to relax all the way suddenly became tense again, as if there was something hidden in the gray building that scared her.
Zhong Yue was keenly aware of Tong En's nervousness. Along the way, although his two eyes kept looking at the street in front of him, the corner of his eye did not ignore Tong En's every move at all, and Tong En's tense body and stiff expression revealed the tension in her heart.
Zhong Yue slowed down the car, stretched out his right hand to hold her subconsciously clenched small hand, and relieved her nervous mood with as relaxed a tone as possible.
"Don't worry, there are no big things waiting for you in this house, there are only you, Yuhao and me at the table tonight, and there is no fourth person."
You, Yuhao and me
I wanted to smile at him, but these words made the muscles on Tong En's face even stiffer, and he couldn't laugh anyway. Her hand was passively held by Zhong Yue, her eyes were firmly fixed on the gray house that was getting closer and closer, and she suddenly felt an urge to flee quickly.
"It's here, get off. Look at you, it's not for you to meet your in-laws, why are you so nervous. ”
The car stopped, Zhong Yue turned to face her, raised his hand and gently rubbed Tong En's stiff cheeks.
Tong En nodded mechanically, reached out to push the car door next to him, but before the door was opened, his eyes had already seen Zhong Yuhao rushing out of the door of the building. As if inflated, Tong En's weak legs suddenly gained strength, and his spirit instantly perked up.
"Aunt Tong."
Yuhao blew in front of Tong En like a small whirlwind, grabbed Tong En's arm with both hands and jumped and jumped. Zhong Yue walked over with a smile, grabbed his little shoulders with his big hand and stopped: "Don't jump again, if you jump again, you should break Auntie's arm." ”
Yu Hao twisted his body to break free from his father's big hand and snuggled tightly into Tong En's arms.
"I've been watching the window for a long time, and my eyes hurt before you came back."
Tong En put his arms around him, looked down at his eyes and said distressedly, "Let Auntie see, what's wrong with your eyes?" ”
Zhong Yue shook his head and said, "You, don't listen to his alarmism, something big about sesame seeds can make him the size of a watermelon." Yuhao, why did you run out by yourself, Aunt Chen? ”
"Aunt Chen is cooking food in the kitchen, let me stand guard and tell her as soon as I see your car."
"Did you tell me?"
"Oops, I forgot."
Yu Hao let Tong En turn his head and was about to run back, but Tong En hugged him back.
"No need to tell, we're all out of the car, let's just go in together."
As he was talking, Aunt Chen had already walked out of the house with an apron on her face and a smile on her face, "No need for him to tell, as soon as I heard the sound of "tom tom" going down the stairs, I knew that it must be a car coming. ”
Without waiting for Zhong Yue's introduction, Tong En had already hugged Yu Hao and greeted him.
"You're Sister Chen, right? I've heard Yuhao talk about you many times, saying that the food you cook is delicious. ”
Aunt Chen couldn't close her mouth happily when she heard this: "Cough, it's all commonplace, and I don't know if it's to your taste." ”
Zhong Yue smiled and walked up to Tong En and said, "In previous years, I used to eat in restaurants, but this year I think it's better to live at home, the home is more casual and comfortable, it's hard Sister Chen, for this meal, Sister Chen has been busy for a day, right?" ”
"Not busy, not busy, didn't you tell me not to prepare too many dishes? Just prepared a few things, Yuhao was not at home during the day, and he was not busy at all. Hurry up and invite Miss Tong into the house, you can sit down and drink tea and rest, and I will start the fire and eat later. ”
Tong En was dragged into the house by Yu Hao's feet without touching the ground, and suddenly stood in the center of the wide hall on the first floor, his eyes involuntarily looked around the large living room with antique furnishings, and there was a feeling of emptiness in his heart, which was completely different from what he imagined.
"Sit, you're not here to buy a standing ticket today, are you?" Zhong Yue said jokingly while standing aside with a smile.
Tong En suddenly remembered the purpose of coming today, took out a beautifully packaged box from the bag, and handed it to Zhong Yue, "I don't know what color you like, try to choose one, happy birthday!" ”
Zhong Yue took the only birthday gift this year, quickly removed the package, opened the lid of the box, and took out a silk tie of lake blue color from the box, and the silk pattern of the same color looked very three-dimensional.
Although the noon time was very tight, Tong En still chose again and again, and finally chose this one. She felt that the blue background of the lake matched Zhong Yue's complexion very well, and the silver light of the silk pattern matched the dark suit he usually liked to wear.
Zhong Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked up at Tong En and said happily, "It's so beautiful, I like it." Thank you! ”
Zhong Yue's eyes were bright and bright, and Tong En's heart was panicked, and she took out a rectangular box from the bag by lowering her head to take something to avoid the eyes that made her hesitate.
Seeing the box, Zhong Yue's eyes flashed, and the color in his eyes deepened.
Tong En opened the lid of the box, and a golden model of a metal sailboat appeared in Yuhao's surprised eyes.
"Yuhao, Auntie also gave you a gift today, you can't refuse."
Zhong Yuhao opened his mouth wide and looked happily at his beloved little sailboat, looking up at Zhong Yue with a begging gaze. Zhong Yue squatted down, touched his little head and said, "Take it, remember, this time it was given to you by Aunt Tong." ”
"Well, thank you, Aunt Tong!"
Yu Hao replied loudly, a pair of small hands couldn't wait to hug the sailboat, and his mouth couldn't close happily.
"Dad, I also have a gift for your birthday. Aunt Tong, when I actually celebrate my birthday, will you still give me a gift? ”
"Of course, tell Auntie, what is your birthday?"
Because he answered casually, Tong En didn't realize that he was putting a * in his body when he said this.
"My birthday is May 8th, Aunt Tong, you must remember. ……”
Boom......
When Tong En was not mentally prepared, * exploded, and in an instant, the internal organs were shattered into bright red pieces. Tong En's eyes were splashed with gold stars, and her ears were suddenly silent, she was stunned and barely standing, in front of her was Yuhao's mouth closed one by one, but she couldn't hear a sound.
May 8th, this is a day she will never forget in her life, how could she not remember it?
"Aunt Tong, Aunt Tong......"
Yu Hao saw that Tong En didn't react, and called her loudly, and even Zhong Yue noticed that Tong En's expression was a little strange.
"Tong En, are you tired? Sit down and take a break. ”
Ears, eyes, hands, feet......
Tong En regained his sense organs little by little, and reluctantly smiled at the anxious faces in front of him, one big and one small.
"I'm not tired, maybe a little motion sickness, it's fine."
She stretched out her hands and grabbed Yu Hao's little hand tightly, "Yu Hao, don't you invite Auntie to visit your room?" ”
"Yes, yes."
Yu Hao nodded vigorously, pulled Tong En and ran upstairs. Zhong Yue asked behind him with some concern: "Is it really okay?" Tong En, do you want to lie down for a while? ”
"No, I'm fine. Zhong Yue, will you let me and Yu Hao be alone for a while? Tong En looked at Zhong Yue almost pleadingly.
"Okay, I'm interested, so I won't disturb your two-person world." Zhong Yue smiled and spread out his hands.
"Hurry up, Aunt Tong, hurry up." Yu Hao held the sailboat in one hand and Tong En in the other, and jumped to his feet in a hurry.
One hand was tightly grasped by Yu Hao, and Tong En hurried up the stairs, repeating a few words in his head.
"It's not enough, it's not enough. These alone do not prove that Yuhao is the child. Maybe it's just a coincidence, are there fewer coincidences in the world? If we could really meet in the vast sea of people, wouldn't there be a more bizarre coincidence? I need more evidence, I have to be 100% sure that none of this is a coincidence. ”
Supported by a thought, Tong Eun's chaotic nerves perked up like clockwork, and she followed Woo Ho and almost ran into his room.
"Aunt Tong, look, this is my room."
Tong En stood still, looking at the room that he had dreamed of countless times in his dreams.
Nice cosy room, furnished in a very different style from the living room downstairs. Cartoon furniture in blue and white, printed curtains of the same color, cartoon toys of various shapes, and most eye-catching is a whole wall with a variety of models of cars, ships and flying cars, which is simply a small exhibition.
It can be seen that Zhong Yue has put a lot of thought into decorating this room, and every thing in this room contains his deep love for his son.
"Aunt Tong, do you like my room?"
"I like it."
Tong En said softly. Her eyes looked around every corner of the room, the tabletops, the bedside tables, all the shelves, the bookcases, no, nothing she was looking for.
Tong En stood in front of a whole wall of various models, and his heart was really moved.
"Yuhao, are these all from your father?"
"Well, my dad brought it back to me every time he went on a business trip."
Tong En bent down and stroked Yu Hao's shoulder and asked, "Yu Hao, apart from these models, did Dad give you any other gifts?" ”
