Chapter 86: free oneself

Tang Jinyu had a very happy summer vacation when she was ten years old.
Xia Ye came back to accompany him for a summer vacation. They went to catch fireflies again. Although the kid was one year older than before and grew a little bit taller, Xia Ye still used him as the little tail that followed his legs and took a few steps. When I came back to see him, before he could speak, he squatted and let him come up.
Tang Jinyu climbed onto his back and said with joy: "Brother, I can walk by myself."
Xia Ye carried him without letting go, and said to him: "It's okay, I can carry it."
When Xia Ye brought him to catch fireflies last time, the little guy was dull and silent, but this year he started humming. Xia Ye squeezed the child’s ankle and said to him, "Happy this time? Last time I brought him. You came crying all the way."
Tang Jinyu hugged his neck and said with a smile: "Because my brother came back several times this year, I can always see him!"
Xia Ye was dumb, as if it were really the case. From the time he won the competition until his birthday, he had a fever. He ran home every three to five times this year. If it wasn't for a child, he hadn't noticed it.
It seems that going home has become an instinct, being caught by a thin soft thread.
They did not find the fireflies today, but they came back after catching a few golden cicadas. Tang Jinyu and the others have a small biological observation experiment, and the teacher asked them to observe and record the golden cicadas.
Xia Ye took him back and put a net bag on the table for the child to observe.
He went to the side and was busy with his work. The child lay down on the table and put his hand under his chin. He watched carefully. Jin Chan lay motionless on the old monk's calmness. The child nodded after a while after observing. (Sleeping Shui).
Xia Ye was busy with work for a while, and when he looked back, he saw the sweet little guy lying there (sleeping in Shui), smiled, and went to hug him on the (bed chuang) and dragged him some shoes to keep the child safe. Steady (sleeping Shui).
Probably feeling the familiar bed, Tang Jinyu turned over, rubbed against Xia Ye's pillow, and (sleeping Shui) again.
Xia Ye concealed the door for him and went to the living room to do his own business, but this time when he talked to Song Yi, his voice became softer and his answer was shorter.
Song Yi has worked with him for many years, and he knows each other too well. He paused when he lowered his voice, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu is with you again?"
"Yes, just (sleeping Shui)."
"Speaking of the renovation of the school district in Shanghai Stock Exchange, I will probably take a look at it and send you the photos in a while. You can see if there is anything else you need. I will arrange it."
Xia Ye agreed, "Send me now, I'll watch it in a while."
Song Yi paused and said, "I asked you for the contract yesterday, so you only spared time to look at it."
Xia Ye smiled and said, "It's different."
The matter is serious. From the very beginning, Xia Ye put his family first. He just started working in an Internet cafe and tried to find a way to make money. It was just to make up for the cost of his dad’s surgery and to expand his subsequent career. A fun way to show his brother where he will live after transfer is indeed more important than mere work.
Xia Ye and Song Yi have cooperated tacitly for several years. Xia Ye opened up the frontiers and expanded the land, and Song Yi was good at defending the city. More details were controlled by Song Yi. Han Yichen previously joked that he was a big housekeeper. To Xia Ye and the company, Song Yi He is indeed a qualified butler.
Xia Ye is not picky about other things, usually just pass it with a glance, but after looking at the school district room sent for a while, picking up on the details, so Song Yi replaced the glass coffee table and the angular sofa, and said to him: "Also pay attention to the bathroom glass. There is also a larger sofa. Xiaoyu sometimes takes a nap on the sofa (sleeping in Shui)."
Song Yi agreed and went to do it.
Tang Jinyu is here (sleeping Shui), Xia Ye greeted Tang Hongjun, (gan Gan) let the child stay with him this night.
When the child woke up the next day, he didn't know where he was. After a little reaction, he lifted the thin blanket and climbed out of the bed to see Jin Chan.
Only when he went to look again, there were only a few empty shells left in that net bag, and the cicada had already picked Yaoyao.
Tang Jinyu looked at the cicada shell for a long time, and stood there.
Xia Ye went over and rubbed his head and said, "It's okay, go wash your face first, and I'll grab one for you at night."
Tang Jinyu looked at the cicada in his net pocket, but still did not leave. He vaguely had an impression of it, so he grabbed it and took a look.
Xia Ye thought he would be afraid, but he didn't expect the child to pick it up and asked him: "Aren't you afraid of this? I'll just clean it up."
"Not afraid." Tang Jinyu held the cicada shell and looked up at him, "Brother, this is Chinese medicine, right?"
"Correct."
"You can drink it, it can cure cough."
The child said again, his voice was very soft, but sure.
Xia Ye responded, the cicada's corners were still a bit sharp. He was afraid that the child would be hurt, so he pinched his little hand and put it down, taking it to wash.
Tang Jinyu was still thinking about cicada sloughing when he was washing his face. He did remember that grated can be added to Chinese medicine, and the price is not cheap. Although he can't remember how much it is, it is always a price that makes him distressed. A vague memory emerged and disappeared. It seemed to be a picture. A small casserole was placed on a small stove all year round. A little boy moved a small bench and sat there watching the Chinese medicine in the casserole boil. Bubbles with a bitter taste.
...
Xia Ye glanced at him and pulled the toothbrush he was holding out of his mouth. He came out and reapplied the toothpaste, and said strangely: "What do you want, so attentively, brushing the toothpaste for a long time without using it."
Tang Jinyu brushed her teeth again, and after washing, she raised her head and said to Xia Ye: "Brother, I have seen that before."
Xia Ye glanced at what he pointed, and said, "That cicada sloughs? Maybe, maybe someone in someone's family used it when he was sick and boiled Chinese medicine."
Cicadas are not uncommon in the north. Xia Ye didn’t take it seriously. When they used to live in the tube building, there were a lot of people. Some families moved coal stoves and put them in the corridor to cook medicine. Tang Jinyu followed him in and out at that time. , Seeing is normal.
Tang Jinyu was taken out by her brother holding hands, still whispering: "That's very bitter."
Xia Ye glanced at him, "You still tasted it? Don't eat indiscriminately next time, have you heard it?"
"No, brother, I can smell it, it's very bitter..."
Teacher Xia made breakfast and saw them come over and smiled: "Xiaoyu wakes up? Shall we eat here in the morning?"
There were porridge and small fried dough sticks on the table. After Tang Jinyu smelled it on the tip of her nose, she diminished the bitter taste of Chinese medicine a lot, and the light thoughts in her mind flashed past, and she couldn't remember.
Xia Ye looked at him in a daze, laughed, and hugged him over and said, "Take him to catch fireflies last night. I'm tired from playing and haven't (sleeping Shui) wake up yet."
Teacher Xia urged: "Don't be tired, at noon you will coax (sleep in Shui) at home for a nap."
During the summer vacation, Tang Jinyu did homework in the morning, practiced the piano in the afternoon, and played casually in the evening. The adults in the family worked at the unit, and Xia Ye usually took it during the winter and summer vacations. The two of them were at home.
Xia Ye works at home. In the morning, while discussing matters with Song Yi, he tutored the children to finish their homework. When it was noon, he went to make some noodles.
He has not been very good at cooking, so he is still good at cooking noodles. This time he upgraded it specially and made a pot noodle. Seeing that the sales have improved a lot compared to before, but the taste is just the same when you eat it, especially average.
Tang Jinyu ate a small bowl of noodles and joined him as usual.
Because it was made by Xia Ye, he also drank a small bowl of noodle soup. He was very satisfied. When he was full, he took the bowl and went to the kitchen to help, "Brother, you are cooking, I will wash the dishes!"
Xia Ye drove him: "No, I'm comfortable, you go out to play."
Tang Jinyu didn't go, but stayed there to wash the bowl with him. He watched Xia Ye do this since he was a child. He learned the same way and habits as Xia Ye. He washed first, then controlled the water, and finally wiped it again. After placing them neatly, he looked up and said, "Brother, I am not as good as you. I’ll learn how to cook in the future and make it for you. Let’s work together."
Xia Ye reacted for a while before he slapped his forehead and raised an eyebrow: "You said I didn't make it delicious?"
"It's delicious!" Tang Jinyu watched him still happily, covering his forehead and hiding, "but brother washes the dishes even more!"
Xia Ye felt that he should send his brother to Song Yi's side. This little mouth could still say that it was for business.
After lunch, Tang Jinyu went to sleep (Shui Shui) by himself. He doesn't need to coax him now. After reading a story book for a while, he will slowly sleep (Shui Shui), especially obedient.
After a little bit, Chen Suling called them and told them to ask the driver to pick them up.
This is the case in previous years. Chen Suling will prepare a lot of new clothes for their brothers, and let them come to the company to try them during the winter and summer vacations. She is in the clothing business and has both designers and studios. It is also convenient to have any style needs and to modify. The clothes on the two brothers don't say that they are changed every day, but there are no new styles every season.
Especially after Xia Ye went to college, he still had to take care of the company. Chen Suling would specially prepare more for him. A set of remarks and numbers was provided for him to wear, saving time and effort.
When the driver came, Tang Jinyu hadn't (sleeping in Shui) awake.
The child went out to play with Xia Ye all night yesterday. He was a little tired, and he still didn't wake up at noon.
The driver whispered, "Shall I hold it and go to the car?"
Xia Ye hugged and got up, looked down at the little guy in his arms and didn't let go. He hugged him and whispered: "No, I'll hold it, Xiaoyu recognizes the person, and she should wake up soon."
He hugged him and went to the car, Tang Jinyu (sleeping Shui) went all the way, rubbing his eyes when he came to the company and woke up.
Xia Ye didn't let him rub his eyes again. The body of his child (body shen) was still too fragile compared to other children. After rubbing a few times, his eyes would become red. He wiped his handkerchief and squeezed his face. "Okay, don't stand by yourself."
Tang Jinyu is also familiar with the driver. He woke up and called his uncle, then looked out the window and turned around and smiled at Xia Ye: "Brother, let's go to my mother, right?"
Xia Ye nodded. His brother laughed when he woke up. It was really good. He was infected by the kid's smile and he felt better.
Tang Jinyu went to look out of the window again. He had walked this road since he was a child. He was so familiar with it. He knew that it was almost here by looking outside.
When he arrived at the company, Tang Jinyu took Xia Ye's hand all the way. He was very familiar with this place. He almost grew up in Chen Suling's office. He smiled and greeted people along the way. There were no children who didn't know him, and there was no one who couldn't talk about it.
"Sister, your clothes are so beautiful today!"
"Wow, sister, your curly hair looks better!"
"Good afternoon, uncle, hard work!"
...
All the way up, Xia Ye can see that his children’s memory is really good, and there is a little gossip. When he first got on the elevator, he secretly told him that Uncle Ding in the menswear department was chasing the secretary and aunt next to his mother.
Xia Ye: "Why do you know everything?"
Tang Jinyu opened her eyes wide, and said, "Everyone knows! Really, even my mother knows, but I can't tell."
"what?"
The child made a zipper movement on his mouth, "I know it's okay, but I can't say that Uncle Ding has to chase it by himself. It is very difficult to marry a wife.
Xia Ye rubbed his little head and said with a smile: "Where do you listen to the messy things."
They walked to the office. Chen Suling was in the office looking at the artwork she sent, and she saw them come in and smiled: "It's just right, Xiaoye, I'll let Xiaoding come over and take you to the menswear department. There are some good clothes over there. , You give it a try, ask them to change it according to your height, and it will be picked up when school starts."
Xia Ye said: "Auntie, don't have to be so troublesome, just two sets are enough to wear."
Chen Suling said, "Well, this time I prepared formal clothes. You have to go out to talk about work. How can you be sloppy." She beckoned Tang Jinyu to come over and hug her little son, and laughed, "Baby, for a while. You go with your mom, and mom will take you to change your clothes and take a few photos by the way."
Tang Jinyu asked: "Brother also shoot?"
Xia Ye heard that her body tightened, and she was rarely nervous. His last experience of putting on makeup in Qizhou City was very impressed, and he was really insensitive to things like wax and lipstick.
Chen Suling was amused, "Forgive your brother, it was enough to take those last time, isn't this still hanging here?"
Xia Ye saw that in addition to a few (color) Caiming (yanyan) art paintings on the wall of Chen Suling’s office, there were also a few photos. The photos he took in Qizhou City were hung behind those paintings, black and white. (Color) tone is the main focus, with clear lines on the side of the teenager's face and sharp eyes.
Unlike art paintings, his photos are placed low.
Chen Suling's eyes fell on it, and she smiled: "Xiaoyu hung up, you don't know how proud he is. As long as someone asks about him, just say this is his brother!"
Xia Ye chuckled and looked down at the child, who was also looking at him, looking like a compliment.
