Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Loving Mother and a Strict Father
"Brother! Hurry up! ”
Ye Tian walked a few steps, and saw Ye Zitao waiting at the entrance of the building not far away, greeting him.
Ye Tian smiled and quickened his pace.
"Brother, do you smell it, it's your favorite sweet and sour carp taste!" Ye Zitao sniffed and spoke.
Ye Tian cooperated and took a few breaths: "Your dog nose is very smart, I didn't even smell it." ”
"Humph!"
Ye Zitao turned his head arrogantly, pretended to be angry and said: "Dad is really eccentric, he hasn't cooked for many years, and he finally made a return dish, but he actually made it for you!" ”
"Okay, it's good to have something to eat!" Ye Tian touched Ye Zitao's head.
"Alas, he is worthy of being the eldest son!" Ye Zitao muttered and walked towards the building.
Coming to the door, Ye Zitao took out the key from his schoolbag and opened the iron door.
The rusty iron door made a "squeak" sound when it was pulled, and the light in the room came through the crack in the door, which was reflected on Ye Tian's face.
It was as if a whole new world was opening up to him.
In the past 20 years of life, what was the concern of the family? What is the nostalgia of the family? Ye Tian didn't know anything.
From life to death, he was as alone as a lone wolf, hurt, and had nowhere to hide, but to lick his wounds alone in the cold and snow.
At this moment, looking at the warm and soft light, Ye Tian felt a little more lonely in his heart.
This is the concern and destination of my life!
"Brother, why are you standing stupidly, come in!" Ye Zitao interrupted Ye Tian's thoughts.
The elder brother's complaint made Ye Tian feel comfortable, and he walked straight into the door without speaking.
The Ye family lives in an old-fashioned tube building, with an area of not large, only more than 60 square meters.
The layout of the whole house can be seen clearly at a glance.
The living room is not big, but it is cleaned and tidy. There is a balcony on the west side, and you can see the lights of thousands of homes outside when you stand at the door.
A yellowed white fabric sofa sits against the wall, a 32-inch TV sits on an old-fashioned stand-up cabinet opposite the sofa, and a few plates of delicious dishes are steaming on a folding round table in the center.
As if hearing movement outside, from behind the kitchen curtain, a middle-aged woman with a small dish came out, holding a plate of side dishes.
"Mom, what day is it, Dad cooks so many delicious things by himself?"
Ye Zitao casually threw his schoolbag onto the sofa and took the plate in the middle-aged woman's hand.
"It's no special day, I just miss you!" A middle-aged woman wipes her hands on an apron.
"Well, Dad's shredded potatoes are really not covered, I haven't tasted them in years!" After Ye Zitao took the plate, he unconsciously grabbed a little bit and stuffed it into his mouth.
"How many times have I told you, wash your hands and eat again!" The middle-aged woman patted Ye Zitao's buttocks and said.
"I'm sorry, Daddy cooking, I couldn't help it."
Ye Zitao licked his fingertips, revealing an expression of enjoyment: "Delicious!" ”
"You kid!"
The middle-aged woman shook her head, looking at Ye Zitao, her eyes were full of doting.
"Alas, it's just my brother's light that I can eat a mouthful of Dad's food!"
Ye Zitao pouted and said, "Right, brother?" ”
The middle-aged woman listened to Ye Zitao's words, and then found that Ye Tian had also returned, and saw him standing at the door, with a worried look on her face: "Xiaotian, are you okay?" ”
Ye Tian watched his mother walk towards him step by step, and his strong heart became soft at the moment.
The mother was an ordinary woman, of medium height, of average build. You may be tired all year round, and you have unconsciously grown a few gray hairs on your head, and there are some more wrinkles on your face.
"Mom, I'm fine." Calming down his excitement, Ye Tian spoke.
Ye Mu stretched out her calloused palm and touched Ye Tian's cheek, and there were tears in her eyes.
This child has paid too much for the family, which makes her unbearable.
The moment Ye Mu's palm touched Ye Tian, he was stunned like an electric shock.
The rough palm was softer than anything in Ye Tian's eyes.
"It's okay, go wash your hands, and you can eat soon." Ye Mu showed a smile of relief.
"Okay."
Ye Tian nodded, and obediently followed Ye Mu into the kitchen.
Lifting the door curtain, Ye Tian saw Yiwei'an's back sitting in a wheelchair, stir-frying the dishes in the pot in his hands.
This is his father?
"The kid's father, Xiaotian is back." Ye Mu opened her mouth and shouted.
Ye Tian obviously saw his father's stir-frying arm pause, did not answer, and continued to stir-fry.
"Kid dad?" Ye Mu thought he didn't hear clearly, so she screamed again.
"You put some salt in the stir-fry, and you can get out of the pot." Father Ye put down the spatula and said to Mother Ye.
After Mother Ye took the spatula, Father Ye turned around with his hand and turned around and stared at Ye Tian.
Father Ye has a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, and under his nose is a mouth that never seems to smile. His face looks angular, and people can tell that he is an unsmiling person at a glance.
Although Ye Tian was fearless of anything, he couldn't help but feel a little timid in the face of Father Ye's stern eyes at this moment.
"Come out with me!"
Father Ye said sharply, and he was about to walk to the living room with his wheelchair.
Ye Tian wanted to step forward to help push it, but was rejected by Father Ye.
Father Ye came to the living room and saw Ye Zitao sitting on the sofa watching TV, smiling like a fool, and said with a straight face: "Go, buy a bottle of vinegar!" ”
Seeing Father Ye's serious face, Ye Zitao immediately jumped up from the sofa: "Obey, Dad!" ”
Ye Tian watched Ye Zitao go out of the room with a cigarette effort, and secretly said in his heart: "Dad is quite majestic at home!" ”
"Come here!"
As soon as Ye Zitao left, Father Ye turned his wheelchair and came to the cabinet where the spiritual seat was placed in the living room.
Ye Tian was puzzled, but he still walked over obediently.
"Unfilial son! Get on my knees! ”
Father Ye blushed and yelled at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian was at a loss and asked, "Dad, what did I do wrong?" ”
Although Ye Tian respected Father Ye, he couldn't let him kneel if he didn't know it.
"Are you embarrassed to ask what you did wrong?"
Father Ye raised his hand and slapped the handrail hard and shouted: "Do you think that you have grown your ability, do you think that we can't control you when you leave home?"
Actually ran to commit suicide!
Your mother has been raising you for many years, you haven't suffered anything, you haven't suffered any pain, you are fine, you don't care, just go to suicide, are you right about her? ”
Ye Tian was dumbfounded, looking at Father Ye's angry expression, he felt a love in his heart that he had never felt before, wrapped him tightly, and knelt in front of the mourning hall with his feet soft.
"Dad, yes... I'm sorry. ”
Ye Tian snorted heavily at Father Ye.
"It's me who was confused for a while, and this will never happen in the future!"
Father Ye saw Ye Tian kneeling in front of him, and his deep eyes were full of distress.
If it weren't for his illness, his son wouldn't have fallen to such a point.
"Get up!" Father Ye said softly.
Ye Tian got up slowly, this was the first time he knelt down, and it was also the first time he was so happy.
He finally has a family that cares about him!
He's no longer an orphan who is being looked down upon and bullied!
"Take it!"
Father Ye rummaged through his jacket pocket, took out a red passbook and handed it to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian took it curiously, flipped through it, and asked puzzledly, "Dad, why are you giving me a passbook?" ”
Father Ye sighed and said, "I know that this family is sorry for you, and I also understand your hardships, but the marriage with the Ning family was decided by your grandfather, and I can't change it."
The money you have sent to the family in the past few years, your mother and I have been saving it for you, and your mother's savings from doing some odd jobs are all stored together, and there are seventy or eighty thousand, although it is far from enough, but you can pay back part of it to the Ning family first! ”
"Dad!"
Ye Tian, who can shed blood and sweat, but never sheds a tear easily, also burst into tears at this moment: "I can't ask for this passbook, I will pay back the Ning family's money!" ”
"Let you take it, you will take it, the password is your birthday."
Father Ye reprimanded, and then said: "The Ning family has a big business, and it is normal to look down on us, I just hope that you don't take all the responsibility on yourself, and if you can't do it, you can go home." ”
Ye Tian understood what his father meant, but it was impossible for him to accept the passbook: "Dad, don't worry, I have my own plans, you better put the passbook away!" ”
"Xiaotian, your dad asked you to take it, just take it!"
At this time, Mother Ye walked out of the kitchen with the dishes and persuaded: "Your brother has gone to college, he is working and studying, and your father and I usually don't have a place to use money, so you can take it!" ”
"Mom, I..."
Ye Tian still wanted to refuse, but he heard Ye Zitao humming a little song and opened the door: "Dad, the vinegar has been bought." ”
There was no way, Ye Tian had to put the passbook in his pocket first, and return it to his parents when the time was right.
"Let's eat!"
Ye Zitao put the vinegar aside, sat down unceremoniously, and was about to pick up the vegetables with chopsticks.
"Xiao Tao, wait a minute, there are no people yet!"
Ye Mu stopped Ye Zitao's hand and spoke.
Ye Zitao was stunned, counted a few people, and asked: "Dad, Mom, Brother, I, all of them, who else?" ”
