Chapter 65: Xiang Lian

"Yes."

Yu Hao ran to the locker, opened a large drawer with a bang, and said loudly, "And these." ”

Tong En hurriedly walked over and looked down, and there were neatly stored cards made of photographs in the drawers, each designed in a different shape. Tong En picked them up one by one and looked at them, and the date and meaning of the photos were clearly indicated on each card.

Yuhao Full Moon

Yuhao 100 days

Yuhao Zai first tooth

Yuhao is one year old

Yuhao is two years old

Yuhao went to kindergarten on his first day

…………

The last one is a group photo of Zhong Yue, her, and Yuhao at the sorority.

Tong En's eyes were wet, these cards recorded the footprints of Yuhao's growth every step in the past 5 years, and every commemorative day, from the full moon to the 5th birthday, there was a thick stack.

"My dad gave it to me, and he said I could fill all these drawers when I was 18 years old."

Tong En couldn't restrain the feelings in his heart anymore, and reached out to hug Yu Hao, his face tightly pressed against his chubby little face.

Tong En's sudden affectionate behavior made the 5-year-old boy a little embarrassed, and he stood motionless, shyly touching Tong En's face with his hand.

"Aunt Tong, why is your face so wet?" The little one said with some surprise.

"Oh, seeing Yuhao so cute when he was a child, Auntie was so excited." Letting go of his small body, Tong En turned his head to wipe the tears from his face and said.

"Ahem, that's the way girls are. The girls in our class cried when they were not happy, and they cried when they were happy, and so did Aunt Chen, when she watched TV, she cried more than the people on TV. ”

Yu Hao sighed like a little adult, looking understanding.

Tong Eun couldn't help but be amused by his cute expression again, and she stroked Wooho's black hair, and her smile gradually became bitter.

"Aunt Tong, look, this is a photo taken on my third birthday, and this sailboat was given to me by my mother that day."

Yuhao handed the card to Tong En as if offering a treasure, and happily pointed to the sailboat in his hand in the photo.

Tong En took the photo and looked at it carefully, Yuhao in the photo looked up angrily, holding the small sailboat in his hand, and he could see how happy he was at that time.

Suddenly, Tong En's gaze was caught by a shiny thing hanging on Yu Hao's chest, and she tried to keep her fingers steady and pointed to the small bright spot and asked Yu Hao: "Yu Hao, can you tell Auntie, what are you wearing around your neck?" ”

Yu Hao naughtily lay on the card and looked at it, blushing and said, "This, well, it's Xiang Lian, my father lets me wear it every time I celebrate my birthday." I know that only girls wear Xiang Lian, but my father insisted that I wear it, saying that it is commemorative. ”

Tong En's legs were already weak and she couldn't stand anymore, and she said in a weak trembling voice, "Really? That must be very beautiful, can you let Auntie see your Xiang Lian? ”

"Well, it's in that drawer above, and Dad won't let me play with it, and I can only wear it on my birthday." Yu Hao tiptoed and pointed to a drawer above the cabinet that he couldn't reach.

Tong En tried to calm himself, his fingers trembled and stretched out to the truth that there was no longer suspense, slowly opened the drawer, a flat velvet box lay there quietly, mechanically opened the box, and a silver white gold necklace quietly appeared in front of Tong En's eyes.

The dust settled, and the truth waited here quietly and confidently, as if she had always known that one day she would be discovered.

The familiar heart-shaped buckle, the familiar platinum pendant, the familiar image has always been by his side and has never left. Then, the eye clearly saw the capital letter "B" engraved on the pendant.

It's "B", the same other one.

"If one day, you see that identical Xiang Lian, you will know who he is."

Yes, I know who he is, I know.

Close the lid and gently close the drawer. Tong En squatted down, his hands caressed Yuhao's arms, shoulders, cheeks, and black hair, and his eyes looked at the soles of his feet from the top of his head, and he couldn't help but scream again and again.

"Yuhao ......"

"Hey."

"Yuhao ......"

"Hey, Aunt Tong, why do you keep calling me?"

"Because, because Auntie likes you."

Yu Hao smiled happily, reached out to put his arm around her neck, and shouted playfully: "Aunt Tong, Aunt Tong, Aunt Tong, I like you too." ”

Tong En hugged his small body tightly, his cheek pressed against his shoulder, greedily sniffing the faint milky fragrance on the child's body, sorrow and joy, and at the same time surging in her body, but her eyes were dry and without a single tear.

By the time Tong En led Yu Hao downstairs, her face had returned to her usual calm, and no one could see the traces of joy and sorrow on her face.

The doubts, speculations, fears, and struggles in my heart for a few days disappeared when the truth was finally understood, and with it came an indescribable emotion tangled in my heart, and the taste was like hundreds of spices mixed in the stomach, and I couldn't tell whether it was pain or sourness.

The door of the heart unconsciously rose up quietly, because with this door, all the joys, sorrows, and sorrows were successfully locked in this door, and the emotions were unusually calm.

At the dinner table, Tong En calmly took care of Yuhao to eat, and the careful and thoughtful Aunt Chen was still amazed after a long time. She was like wearing a mask, calmly surprised herself. As usual, she and Zhong Yue chatted casually, politely praising Sister Chen's delicious cooking, the whole process was like a lifeless robot, smiling, speaking, and every move was mechanically operating according to the designed program. So much so that in the days that followed, when she recalled her birthday dinner tonight, she couldn't even remember what she had eaten.

After dinner, Yu Hao was clamoring to play checkers, Tong En coaxed him to let Zhong Yue accompany him to play first, and he went into the kitchen to help Sister Chen wash the dishes.

"Oh, that's not going to be done, Miss Tong, how can I let you do the kitchen work?" As soon as Sister Chen turned around, she saw Tong En walking to the edge of the pool and starting to wash the dishes, so she hurriedly put down her work and grabbed the bowl in Tong En's hand.

"Sister Chen, you do yours, leave me alone, what is this little work, I often do these things at home."

Tong En smiled and pushed her back to where she came from, and walked back to the pool. Sister Chen stretched her hands and didn't know what to do: "But now you are a guest, no matter how you do, you can't let the guest work in the kitchen." ”

Tong En did it on his own, and changed the topic and said, "Sister Chen, you have been working in the Zhong family for many years, right?" ”

"It's not, I've been here since Yuhao was born, and Yuhao was brought up by me." Seeing that she couldn't stop it, Sister Chen had to continue to do her own work.

"So you're from the Zhong family after Yu Hao was born?"

"Yes, I was here to take care of Yuhao. Sun Shao's grandmother has no milk, and her health is not good, this child has been eating milk powder since confinement, how can milk powder be easy to digest as mother's milk, don't look at him now that he is chubby, he was not less sick when he was a child. ”

"I think you are the only one in the family, such a big house, Yuhao is small, you are too hard alone."

"That's now, I heard that there were several people in the family before, but they all left before I came. When I first came, the old lady was still there, except for the housekeeper Uncle Qiang, me and the driver Lao Wang lived at home for a long time, and the rest of the work was hired by the hourly workers, but at that time there were many people in the family, and there were many people invited, and it was really lively during the day. Now there are few people in the family, and there are only two people in total, Young Master Sun and Yuhao, and there are part-time workers to clean every day during the day, and I just buy vegetables and cook, which is not hard at all. ”

Tong En looked at this simple woman who worked hard to bring Daewoo Hao, and was sincerely grateful.

"Sister Chen, thank you so much for bringing Yuhao so big and bringing it so well!"

"Don't say that, it's all my share and I should do it. Yuhao, this kid is benevolent, sensible, and obedient. Young Master Sun is a good person, and he takes care of us a lot. What do you say this man is trying to do? It's a blessing for me to meet such a good person. You're such a nice person, and when you enter the door, the house will be lively again. ”

Tong En smiled, and just wanted to say something, Yuhao ran over from the living room and pulled Tong En coquettishly and said, "Aunt Tong, come and play with me, Dad Lao Laipi, it's not fun at all." ”

Sister Chen smiled and snatched the unwashed dishes from Tong En's hand, and urged: "I'm the only one here, you can go quickly." ”

"Okay. Sister Chen, I've worked hard for you today. ”

Before Tong En could wash his hands, he was dragged back to the living room by Yuhao.
