3. Sister
Half a year, in the blink of an eye, the winter snow has begun to fall. The slanting wind passed by, gently sweeping the remnants of snow off the leaves, and the snow fell on the head of a child impartially. The child shook his head desperately. He had two horns of hair combed on the top of his head, a man and a woman on his face, and a half-sized wolf around him, as if he was laughing at him. They are Tianshu and Tiantian.
After half a year of teaching, he has learned to walk upright, and has begun to read and speak, although a little later than a normal child, but fortunately not too late. It's like a clay man, when it's just a piece of clay, you can pinch it however you want, but once it's already formed, you want to change it, unless you turn it back into a clay ball, otherwise it's going to be very difficult. And Xiao Tianshu is lucky for the former.
He walked in the yard, and his steps seemed a little staggering. Not far away, Tiannian's voice called him back to the house. The little wolf followed closely every day. If you want to talk about changes, every day is bigger than Tianshu, at least it looks like this, when I first came, it was thin and not smack, and then look at the present, the fluffy little body and the fat four little short legs are simply a cute look.
The two little things just ran into the house.
So warm in the room. Tiannian sat at the head of the bed, looking at the sleeping Murong Yan stupidly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and his eyes overflowed with infinite happiness. Tianshu ran over and pulled the corner of Tiannian's clothes: "Daddy, I want to go up." ”
Tiannian hugged him to his lap and asked him, "Shu'er, do you want your mother to give you a brother or a sister?" His gaze unconsciously moved to Murong Yan's bulging belly.
"Hmm...... All good. Daddy said that I am the eldest child and the elder brother, so whether it is a younger brother or a younger sister, I and Tian Tian will protect him!"
Tian Nian couldn't help laughing when he saw such a little ghost, speaking in an old-fashioned manner, and there was such a firm energy in his eyes.
Thinking that they had not given birth for ten years after they got married, just a few days after Tianshu arrived at their house, Murong Yan became pregnant, and many things cannot but be said to be providential.
"Ahem", I don't know when there was a gray-haired elder in the room, his eyes were bright, and there was countless kindness on his face.
"Dad, why did you come back, when did you come back?" Tiannian stood up, put Tianshu down, and pointed to the elder and said, "Go and call Grandpa." ”
Tianshu winked at the old man and asked, "Grandpa is Daddy's Daddy?"
Tiannian smiled and nodded, reaching out to touch his head.
Tianshu picked up Tiantian and said to the old man: "Hello grandpa, my name is Tianshu, and his name is Tiantian." Your Excellency, may I ask for your name?"
Tiannian was slightly stunned, "Where did you learn this set?"
"Last time a guest came, I heard it next to me. ”
"You kid ......" Tiannian was speechless about this, he had never raised a child, and he didn't know how strong the imitation power of such a big child was.
"Hahahaha, we're so lucky. The elder replied solemnly: "In the lower heavens, the Dharma name is Qingchen, and others call me Qingchen Zhenren, or Qingchenzi, you can call me grandpa." ”
"Oh...... Grandfather...... Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Hehe," Qingchen leaned down, "Grandpa went to find your grandma, and I'm only back now." ”
"Grandma is Daddy's mother?"
Tianfan nodded.
"What about Grandma?"
The smile on Tianfan's face froze for a moment, reached out and touched the little head, and then straightened up silently, with a sad look in his eyes.
Tiannian knew that this time it was in vain, he wanted to comfort his father, but he knew that it was useless, for so many years, he had said everything he could and couldn't say, and now he just wanted his father to live happily. People will be happy when they have hope, and as long as there is hope, they can persist no matter how hard and tired they are. Before he met his wife, he didn't understand his father, but after meeting her, everything could be so empathetic. He knew that what his father wanted now was not comfort, but a substantive clue -- a clue about his mother -- a mother he had never met.
Tiannian didn't want to think about this anymore. He looked back at his wife and the unborn child, and secretly vowed to reunite their mother and son happily ever after.
Tianshu was overwhelmed by this sudden silence, and saw that Tiantian was lying in front of him very obediently, curled up in a ball, and squatted down to arrange his hair little by little. Rubbing his hand every day, he squinted his eyes very happily, and his throat seemed to be humming a little song, and he made a "whine" sound from time to time.
Tianfan woke up from his contemplation, sighed softly, and said to Tiannian, "Let's go out for a walk." Then he leaned down and said to Tianshu, "Your name is Tianshu, right? Grandpa and Daddy go out for a walk, and you watch your mother here, and if Mommy wakes up, let this little wolf come to us." ”
"Okay," said Tenshu, looking up, "he has a name, and his name is Tian Tian." ”
Tianfan smiled slightly, "Okay, I remember." ”
In the yard. It's been a long time since father and son have stood side by side like this.
"That's the child your master entrusted you to take care of, right?"
Tiannian nodded with a smile and said, "I have an indescribable feeling, I always feel that this child is very kind." ”
"Hehe, that's because you want a child too much. However, he did bring good luck to our family, and it didn't take long for him to get pregnant with Yan'er. ”
"Well, so I'll treat him well, I want to teach him the martial arts of the Heavenly Sword Sect when he's older, what do you think, Dad?"
"The Heavenly Sword Sect's kung fu is never passed on, and if you teach it privately, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Otherwise, when he is older, I will personally take him up the mountain and let him formally apprentice first. ”
"That's great, huh. ”
Tianfan also smiled slightly, "Did you tell him about his background?"
"Not yet, he's too young now. In a few years, when he is sensible, I will tell him. Although that might make him leave us......" Tiannian was silent for a moment. Then he asked, "Dad, how long are you going to stay at home this time?"
Tianfan shook his head, "You know, it's not up to me to decide how long I live. As soon as there is news of your mother, I will rush there. It's been thirty years...... "Tianfan raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance, the white clouds were floating slowly, where would it drift to? Where does it want to drift away? somewhere it floats over, will she look at the sky at some moment, like me, thinking of someone...... Tianfan lowered his head, sighed softly, and called out countless times in his heart: "Where are you......"
"Woohoo woo. Tiantian's immature voice pulled Tianfan back, "It seems that Yan'er has woken up, let's go back." ”
Murong Yan sat up, pregnancy made her look fatter. Tianshu was like a little adult, holding a glass of water, staggering over, and the water in the cup shook out more than half, "Mother drink tea." ”
"Shu'er is so good. Tiannian said as he walked in.
Murong Yan touched Tianshu's little head, raised his head and asked, "Isn't Dad back?"
"Just now, there was news from the mountain, saying that the head of the family had something to discuss with my father, and my father passed. ”
"It's good that Daddy is back. Ninlang, you don't have to worry too much, everything will be fine. ”
Tiannian looked at Tianshu and smiled slightly: "Yes, it will be fine..."
Three months have passed. The spring rain outside the house is continuous, and the silk enters the soil and moistens all things.
Inside the house, Tiannian walked around anxiously, and his palms were already full of sweat unconsciously.
"Don't worry. Tianfan comforted his son, "Yan'er is also a person who cultivates immortals, so there will be no problem." ”
As if there was really a providence, there had been no rest for Tiannian's mother in the past three months. So, Tianfan stayed. Since Tianshu came, this family seems to be much more vibrant. In addition, his own grandson is about to be born, so although there is no news of his lover, he is willing to stay. He's happier than he was before.
"Yes, yes, Daddy, you're not too young, why are you so breathless. You sit down and rest first, and I'll help you get around. After speaking, Tianshu stood up and walked around like Tiannian. Tiantian followed Tianshu's buttocks, shaking his head, and seemed to be learning.
Tianfan looked at the funny appearance of these two little guys and laughed.
Tiannian also smiled, and his mood was much lighter.
"Wow-", a crisp cry came from behind the curtain. The hearts of everyone (excluding Tianshu, of course) also fell to the ground. The midwife walked out with a doll in her arms, and called out in her mouth: "Congratulations, congratulations, it's a daughter." ”
Tiannian took it carefully, looked at this little life, and couldn't help but burst into tears. It turns out that this is the emotion of being a father!
"Let's go see the smoke. Tianfan reminded his son.
Tiannian hugged the baby, came to his wife's bed, and said with red eyes: "Yan'er, thank you for your hard work!" Look, this is our daughter, look at how much she looks like you, she will be like you in the future, she will be a great beauty!"
Murong Yan said shyly: "What do you say, so many people ......"
"Haha, it's not in the way, it's not in the way. Tianfan laughed and stroked his beard.
"Nian Lang, let's give her a name, do you want to call her?" Murong Yan asked.
"Are you going to name your sister?" Tianshu blinked his bright eyes, and he didn't know when a small bamboo tube appeared in his arms. One of his little hands reached inside and tinkered with it in a serious manner.
Tiannian was already full of joy now, where was there extra room to think about others, so he shook his head directly and said, "Let's let Dad take it." ”
Tianfan thought for a while, looked out the window, and found that the rain had stopped for some time, the sunlight had dispelled the dark clouds that had just dominated the sky, and the earth was warm gold.
"Let's take the word 'sunny' for 'sunny'. ”
At this time, Tianshu's little hand had already come out of the small bamboo tube, holding a small note in his hand, raising it high, and saying as if asking for merit: "Daddy, give." ”
Tiannian took it, and it turned out to be the note that he had given Xiao Tianshu his name before. He looked over and was stunned for three breaths.
Because it also happens to be a "sunny" word.
