In the summer of 1999, Hai Chao Noodle Restaurant.

He Tian sat on the steps in front of the noodle shop, watching Li Jianjian in front of him draw with chalk on the ground.

Although Li Jianjian's painting level is very poor, it can still be distinguished that she is painting a woman and two children.

The two children, a boy and a girl, should be painted by her and He Tian, and that woman should be Li Jianjian's mother.

Li Jianjian's mother was pregnant with her second child last year, and was detected with pulmonary hypertension when she was six months pregnant.

This is also the reason why He Tian saw Li Jianjian in the hospital last year, when Li's father often took Li's mother to the hospital for check-ups and follow-ups.

Maybe it's because of the loss of his lover and his unborn child, maybe he really likes children, or maybe it's because his daughter has always said that she wants to have an older brother, Li Haichao resolutely decided to adopt He Tian after learning that He Tian's relatives were unwilling to raise He Tian.

After adoption, out of protection for the child, Li Haichao did not force He Tian to change his surname, so He Tian still kept his name.

Li Jianjian got his wish and had an older brother, and Li Jianjian, who knew the news at that time, was so happy that he ran around the house.

He Tian looked at the little girl in front of him with doting eyes, and a truck full of furniture slowly drove over on the slope next to him, which should be the new family that the neighbors said before.

The newly moved family is a family of three, and his father, Ling Heping, is a police officer at a police station, and he is very busy with his own work, so he has no time to take care of the family.

Mother Chen Ting, a housewife, a person with serious mental illness and extreme selfishness, He Tian's most hated character, there is no one.

Ling Xiao, Ling Heping's son, is seven years old this year, one of the male protagonists, originally a cheerful and lively little boy who became a taciturn person because of his sister's death and his mother's blame, and never showed a smile again.

Originally, there should be another member of this family, sister Ling Yunyun, because she was stuck in her trachea because she ate walnuts and couldn't breathe, only Ling Xiao was at home at the time, her father Ling Heping was at work, and her mother Chen Ting went out to play mahjong with her friends, and the door was locked by Chen Ting when Chen Ting went out, so Ling Yunyun died without timely treatment.

Ling Xiao, who was at home at the time, could only watch his sister die.

The reason why this family moved here is also because of this incident, the neighbors who learned the truth afterwards were very blind to Chen Ting, all kinds of cold words, even if someone occasionally came to comfort Chen Ting, it only made Chen Ting feel that they were poking her wounds with knives, so that she really couldn't continue to live in her original home. Ling Heping decided to move for the sake of his lover and Ling Xiao, and also for the purpose of leaving the sad place.

This family is about to move to the upper floor of Li Haichao's house, and the two families will become neighbors from now on.

When the truck drove up the slope, it encountered a buffer belt, and a folding chair that was not fixed on the shaking frame was about to fall off, He Tian hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Li Jianjian away.

The chair fell to the ground and made a clanging sound, Ling Heping immediately stopped to check when he heard the sound, and Li Haichao also ran out of the noodle restaurant when he heard the sound.

"How is it, is the child okay, have you been smashed?" Ling Heping asked nervously, and Li Haichao also pulled Li Jianjian over to check to see if there were any injuries.

Li Jianjian hurriedly shook his head, and replied in a childish and crisp voice: "It's okay, it's okay, my brother just pulled me away, so I wasn't smashed." ”

The two who found that they were okay breathed a sigh of relief, Dad Li gave He Tian a thumbs up, and then turned his head to talk to Ling Heping, and learned that Ling Heping was a new neighbor during the conversation, and he enthusiastically said that he would go over to help move.

Li Haichao is such a warm-hearted good man, no wonder the neighbors and aunts around him are full of praise for him, and he has been tossing and turning to introduce Dad Li to a blind date this year.

didn't pay much attention to listen to the conversation between the two adults next to him, He Tian took Li Jianjian's little hand and looked at the cockpit of the truck, Ling Xiao, who was originally reading the comics, turned his head and was expressionless.

Li Jianjian saw the handsome little brother, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

It was the first time the three had met.

........

It's been a week since Ling Xiao's family moved in.

Today is another blind date for Li Haichao, Aunt Qian, who has nothing to do after retirement, is very keen on the profession of matchmaker, and has always been very concerned about introducing the good man Li Haichao to her.

Li Haichao is still dressed like usual, with He Tian and Li Jianjian with a reluctant face, waiting nervously in the noodle restaurant for Aunt Qian to bring someone over.

After waiting for a long time, Aunt Qian led a woman in, followed by a little boy.

The woman has long hair and wears a dark blue dress, which looks very gentle, and the little boy in the back may be nervous so he tightens his face.

He Tian knew that the woman's name was He Mei, her family was from a rural area, she dropped out of junior high school to work, and she married Zhao Huaguang, the object of her heart, regardless of her family's objections.

But He Mei didn't see Zhao Huaguang's true face clearly, and was carried away by the sweet words during the love period, and Zhao Huaguang was revealed not long after getting married, and He Mei, who couldn't accept the facts, divorced Zhao Huaguang and ended her marriage for less than a year.

The little boy in the back is He Ziqiu, he is He Mei found out that he was pregnant after the divorce, and insisted on giving birth to the child, he has no father since he was a child, and he lives with his mother. is also the second male protagonist of the TV series.

Li Haichao and He Mei sat down and chatted awkwardly for the first time, and Li Jianjian, who was unwilling to accept his stepmother, rushed out angrily.

He Tian hurriedly followed behind, and He Ziqiu was also brought out by Aunt Qian, who wanted to create a space for the two of them to be alone.

He Tian, who caught up with Li Jianjian, took Li Jianjian to a nearby gazebo, where there was a small stall selling toys and snacks that children liked.

He God, who has an adult soul in his body, knows that no matter how old a woman is, she has to be coaxed.

So he didn't expect to rely on the mouth cannon to make Li Jianjian discourage, so he could only sacrifice the pocket money he had saved at this time to buy some snacks to coax this little kid.

I bought two packs of Li Jianjian's favorite spicy strips, as well as a small water gun, and successfully coaxed Xiao Jianjian to be happy.

Let Li Jianjian sit on the bench in the gazebo and eat snacks by himself, He Tian turned his head and went to the stall to buy three bottles of Coke in glass bottles.

After asking the boss to help open the bottle cap and insert the straw, He Tian walked to the steps under the gazebo, where Aunt Qian was staying and talking to He Ziqiu.

After giving a bottle of Coke to Aunt Qian for a few words of praise, He Tian handed a bottle of Coke to He Ziqiu.

"Give."

"My mom said you can't just ask for other people's things."

"If you don't want it, I'll throw it away."

"Well.... Thank you! ”

"You're welcome, my name is He Tian, and it's my sister Li Jianjian sitting over there, what's your name?"

"My name is He Ziqiu."

It was the first time the three had met.
