In the courtyard, a group of people surrounded the two.

Seeing this, Xiao Wang behind Ran's father hurriedly stepped forward to protect Ran's father, but was pulled away by Ran's father.

Yes~

"Put me down, come down."

Ran Hongbing came back to his senses at this time, saw his mother coming, and began to struggle, "Let go of me, you, let go of me." ”

But Ran's father is all his wife in his eyes, and he won't let go of his guilt for his son over the years.

Ran Xinrui also ran over, standing beside her mother, her little face was vigilant, she made up her mind, if this person dared to play a scoundrel, she would go to her brother-in-law.

Let the brother-in-law beat him.

"Xiao Fen!"

Father Ran's eyes were already moist, and as the name in his heart spit out, the tears could no longer be suppressed, and slowly slid down his thin cheeks.

As the voice appeared, Ran Hongbing stopped struggling, and the people around him also looked at him in surprise, and there was silence.

On the other side, as Ran's father's voice appeared, Ran's mother's heart suddenly lifted, and then her eyes shook, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Mom, Mom!"

"Xiao Fen!"

Ran Xinrui hurriedly helped, and Ran's father also rushed over with the child in his arms.

"You, don't come here."

Ran Xinrui protected in front of Ran's mother, vigilant against Ran's father.

Ran's father put Ran Hongbing down, walked quickly to him, no matter what the people around him thought, and helped Ran's mother up.

"Xiaorui, I'm your dad."

On the side, Ran Xinrui sat on the ground suddenly, and then her little face was confused, "No, no, I, you, I'm not"

With that, he got up, picked up the car and ran out.

Behind him, Ran Hongbing still wanted to follow, but was caught by Uncle Wang.

"Rui, Rui."

Father Ran was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted to Xiao Wang beside him, "You go and see her." ”

Xiao Wang also saw that this was a family acquaintance, and the girl who went out was the leader's daughter, so she didn't say much, she put down her things and ran out.

This is Uncle Wang who also rushed over and explained to everyone for a while, and everyone confirmed that this man was the man of the Ran family.

"Quick, get into the house."

Uncle Wang said, Ran's father hugged Ran's mother hard, just like back then, when the candles were spent in the cave room, it was just that time passed, and Fang Ling was no more, and the years left traces of life on the faces of the two, but they couldn't change the hearts that had snuggled together.

"Xiaofen, I'm back."

Ran's father hugged his wife and walked into the home of his dreams.

Yang

Yang Xiaotao looked at the cooked chicken in the pressure cooker, inserted it with chopsticks, tasted the saltiness, and nodded with satisfaction.

The lights were on in the yard, Xiao Duanwu didn't want to go home, and continued to dig with a wooden shovel, and Wangcai was lying on his stomach, sweeping his tail from time to time, and the momentum exuded from his body made the flying insects dare not move forward.

On the other side, Lao Dao sat on a stool, looking at the Dragon Boat Festival and Wangcai, squinting his eyes and enjoying it.

In his words, there is no ordinary person in Yang Xiaotao's family.

The two girls can't see it when they are young, just the little Dragon Boat Festival, this physique, it may not be able to catch up with a three-year-old child, and judging from the 'art of knowing people' that he once learned at the bottom, this kid's life is smooth.

In the future, I dare not say that it will be popular, but it will definitely be rich and worry-free.

Then there is Ran Qiuye, this person, it seems that he and Yang Xiaotao are a natural pair, with both the weakness of a woman, and the demeanor of everyone, and they are also rich and noble.

And then there is Yang Xiaotao, this, he hasn't practiced at home, and he really can't see it.

Finally, there's this dog, which is a damn rare breed.

Mosquitoes and flies don't dare to come forward, not to mention what kind of species this is, it is definitely a 'rare beast'.

I think that in the first half of his life, it was in vain to learn the Tao, but when he was hidden in the city, he encountered such a rare beast, it was really in vain.

And such a rare beast turned out to be picked up by Yang Xiaotao on the side of the road.

Holy shit, how good this guy's luck is.

Glancing at Yang Xiaotao, who was cooking, Lao Dao made up his mind, following behind this guy, he couldn't really get in touch with the kind of person in the coffin said, Jindan Avenue.

At least it's better than fooling around on your own.

"Sister, brother-in-law!"

Just when Yang Xiaotao was about to pick up the inner tank, Ran Xinrui's cry suddenly came from outside, and Yang Xiaotao immediately looked at it.

I saw Ran Xinrui running in with tears in her eyes, and a young man who came in with her, followed by a few people in the courtyard, because the young man ran too fast, and Yan Jiefang couldn't catch up with a few people behind him.

Yang Xiaotao immediately put down the pot, came to Ran Xinrui with a step, and protected her behind him, the young man ran out of breath, and saw Yang Xiaotao blocking the front, and did not step forward.

But behind him, Yan Jiefang and the others rushed up, this guy broke in without permission, if he didn't catch and interrogate, what should he do?

Just in front of Yang Xiaotao, they can also perform.

It's just that

Yan Jiefang just pressed his hand on the young man's shoulder, the young man's body was short, and then he copied back with his right hand, and immediately put Yan Jiefang down.

Two minutes later, more people had gathered in the courtyard, and there were three or five lying on the ground.

"Stop."

Seeing that there were more and more people, Ran Qiuye behind him also came out to look at his sister, and Yang Xiaotao stepped forward to stop everyone.

He could see that this young man had already left his hand, otherwise, with the actions he had just shown and the murderous aura emanating from his body, the people on the ground would definitely not be a matter of wailing twice.

Everyone watched Yang Xiaotao come out and stopped.

"Who are you, comrade? Why catch up? ”

The young man's breath was even, but in his urgency, he used the dialect, "Na is not a bad person." ”

After reacting, he eased up, "I, I was sent by the leader, watching, looking at this child." ”

Yang Xiaotao frowned, and he already believed it in his heart.

Otherwise, with Ran Xinrui's speed, he wouldn't be able to run here at all.

Behind, Ran Qiuye helped Ran Xinrui, "Little sister, what's the matter, you speak." ”

"Eldest sister, when someone came to the house, my mother fainted, and he said."

"What else did he say?"

Ran Qiuye immediately became anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly spoke, Ran Xinrui was a little nervous, "He, he said, he is my father." ”

Suddenly, Ran Qiuye stood in place, her body trembling.

Although the mind has been prepared for a long time, when it is actually heard, the emotions in the body are still irrepressible.

Tears began to flow, and his hands covered his face even more, Yang Xiaotao hurriedly came to Ran Qiuye's side when he saw it, and stopped him in his arms.

"Autumn leaves, don't be nervous, take a deep breath, take a deep breath."

"He's back?"

"Yes, it's back, don't get excited, take a deep breath."

"Dad, I'm really back."

Ran Qiuye was crying pear blossoms with rain, and Ran Xinrui beside her suddenly understood something, and realized that the person just now was her father who was vague in her mind.

"Dad, sister, that's Dad?"

"Dad is back? Is it true? ”

Ran Xinrui jumped to Ran Qiuye's side, Ran Qiuye got up from Yang Xiaotao's arms, leaned over and hugged Ran Xinrui.

"Yes, that's Dad, that's Dad~"

At this moment, the sisters wept bitterly.

When they were children, in the eyes of the children in the courtyard, they were babies without a father, and they were bullied, just because they didn't have a father to stand up for them, they were bullied in vain.

When I was a child, they asked my mother where my father had gone, but my mother always said that she had gone somewhere we didn't know.

Later, when I grew up, it was indeed a place that I didn't know, because there were so many places I didn't know.

But now, he appeared.

In an instant, the lack of heart seemed to be filled, father, the word became less unfamiliar.

"No, no, he's not Dad."

Suddenly, Ran Xinrui broke free and shouted loudly.

The children of poor families are in charge of the family at an early age.

Ran Xinrui is already about to enter the first year of junior high school, and the experience of her youth has made this girl grow up and have her own values about things.

At this moment, there is a contradiction in her heart, both the expectation of her father and the hatred of her father's departure.

Together, they form a contradictory reaction.

"My dad went far, far away, somewhere we didn't know, he wasn't Dad, no, no!"

Ran Qiuye looked at her sister's roar, and her heart was even more sad.

If my father heard this, would he be sad?

No, he will definitely be sad and guilty.

What my sister said would be like a knife, cutting my father's heart fiercely.

"Xinrui, that's not the case."

Ran Qiuye wanted to explain, but didn't know how.

"Heart."

At this time, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and stretched out his hand to put his hand on Ran Xinrui's shoulder.

Ran Xinrui looked at Yang Xiaotao, her eyes blurred with tears, "Brother-in-law, that person is not my father, my father is here."

"Heart. Do you believe what your brother-in-law said? ”

"I, I believe!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, leaned into Ran Xinrui's ear, and whispered.

Ran Xinrui slowly calmed down, and then her eyes widened and wiped away her tears.

"Brother-in-law, you, said that Dad is a hero, is that the big hero?"

Ran Xinrui made a circle in the air.

Yang Xiaotao nodded solemnly, "Xinrui, didn't you say that you want to be a scientist when you grow up, and you also want to be a big mushroom cloud?" ”

"Then, you have to study hard with Dad."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, can my brother-in-law lie to you?"

"If you don't believe it, you can go back and ask Dad yourself."

Yang Xiaotao said, raised his head and looked at the guards on the side, "This comrade, it should be okay to say these things." ”

Xiao Wang looked at it for a while, and was suddenly asked, so he could only shake his head, "As long as you don't say your name." ”

Now, Ran Xinrui is even more convinced.

After appeasing Ran Xinrui, Yang Xiaotao looked at Lao Dao again.

After hearing this, Lao Dao on the side immediately understood that it was Team Leader Ran who was back.

"The Old Way"

"Why are you talking about this, hurry up and go home and have a look."

"Yes, yes."

Ran Qiuye reacted and was about to leave immediately, but when she thought of the children in the house, she turned around to clean up.

The child's grandfather is back, and he has to bring his identification.

Yang Xiaotao was not idle here, and greeted the old man, there is food in the house, take it yourself.

Then he picked up the pot of boiled chicken and walked out.

When Lao Dao saw it, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Ten minutes later, Yang Xiaotao's family of five, Ran Qiuye hugged the two daughters, Ran Xinrui hugged Xiao Duanwu and squeezed in the back, and Xiao Wang in the front row held the pressure cooker and ran all the way to the courtyard.

Doorway, stop.

Yang Xiaotao hugged the Dragon Boat Festival and Yueyue, and Ran Qiuye hugged Rong Rong, and walked across the threshold into the courtyard.

Getting closer and closer, Yang Xiaotao could feel the urgency and uneasiness in Ran Qiuye's heart.

At the door, there was no one.

The imaginary spectacle of onlookers did not appear.

However, when they saw Yang Xiaotao and them coming, they all nodded and said hello.

The whole courtyard seems to be able to silence the sound and leave room for it.

chirping

Yang Xiaotao pushed open the door, and then a group of people walked into the house.

On the side of the bed, Ran Hongbing saw that the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law were coming, and immediately ran to him, his eyes were red, and he looked to the side from time to time.

In front of the stove, there was a man sitting with a burning stick in his hand.

The man was wearing a plaid shirt with patches, and with just one glance, Ran Qiuye's tears flowed.

His head leaned on Yang Xiaotao's shoulder, and he muttered, "Dad, that dress, when you left, it was this color." ”

Yang Xiaotao nodded lightly.

Father Ran didn't seem to hear the movement behind him, and his eyes were on the busy figure in front of him.

Ran's mother's eyes were red, and she had obviously cried, but there were no tears.

She is very skillful, cutting the green onion into pieces and placing it in the flower bowl.

Then lift the pot, use chopsticks to pick up a lump of slim sticks in it and put it in a bowl, and use a spatula to put a poached egg on top of the noodles, and finally scoop up some soup, a whole bowl.

Ran's mother didn't look at Yang Xiaotao and them, her eyes fell on Ran's father's face, smiled, held the bowl, and handed it to her.

Father Ran stood up, stepped forward to take it, and then stood like this, picked up the chopsticks, bit them one by one, ate them bite by bite, and tears dripped into the bowl little by little.

It wasn't until he drank the last bit of soup and ate the last piece of green onion that Father Ran wiped a handful on his face.

"It's been so long."

"It's still the noodles in this house, delicious and delicious."

Poof

Ran's mother laughed and wiped her face as well.

This smile contains too much bitterness.

One person, feeding three children, one person, lonely and helpless in this forty-nine city, alone

This smile contains too many responsibilities.

As a mother, as a wife, she lived up to him.

is also worthy of him.

And now, all the bitterness and responsibility contained in this smile have been wiped away.

At this moment, it's all about seeing him again.

Keep the clouds open and see the moon.

She waited for the deep love in her heart.

"Full?"

Ran Mu's voice returned to calm and no longer trembled.

"I'm full!"

Father Ran put down the bowl, patted his stomach, and said loudly.

Then he whispered.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back."
