"Dad." At this time, Bai Yan saw Zhan Yiyang standing outside with sharp eyes. He was a little dizzy from his mother's nagging, so he called Zhan Yiyang directly.
Zhan Yiyang nodded and said nothing.
He didn't always nag the Bai brothers like Xu Rongrong, nor did he always ask them what they needed or needed, appearing indifferent. In fact, if he and Tianning needed anything, his father would always take care of it for the brothers as soon as possible.
.
Zhan Yiyang's habit of loving children is just like his deep and cold personality. He looks indifferent on the outside, but in fact he is very considerate and caring.
Now, even though he had not seen these children for a long time, even though he missed these children very much, he still just remained silent and nodded, with a little warmth in his solemn and cold eyes.
Bai Yi knew Zhan Yiyang's character and didn't think his father was very cold, so he just smiled and ran to discuss some issues with Zhan Yiyang.
He was originally seventeen or eighteen years old, and he had reached a relatively mature age. In addition, he had studied abroad for a period of time, and there was always something he didn't understand. Asking Zhan Yiyang was the best choice. After all, Zhan Yiyang was a
Adults in their forties have various abilities to deal with things.
Here Bai Yi ran over to ask Zhan Yiyang for advice, and Zhan Yiyang naturally taught him everything he could without hiding anything.
Over there, Wen Shanshan hugged Ah Nuan and carefully asked her how she was doing in the United States. Ah Nuan also answered her in a low voice. Although Ah Nuan was young before, she still remembered that Aunt Shanshan was very good to her, so
He does not reject her, but actually likes her very much. Coupled with the instinctive kinship between mother and daughter, A Nuan is also very dependent on Wen Shanshan.
So, of the three children, only Tianning was left.
Xu Rongrong turned his head and saw this young man who was colder than before, and finally showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
Yes, people without selfish motives are not human beings.
It is unavoidable for humans to have selfish motives, so even Xu Rongrong truly loves Bai Yi and A Nuan, and does not treat them ill at all.
However, compared to the two of them, Tianning has a different meaning to Xu Rongrong.
These meanings are not the difference between love and affection, but what they are. Xu Rongrong once carefully thought about it, maybe it is the difference between being pregnant for ten months and going away from hell when Tianning was born.
Xu Rongrong loved Bai Yi and A Nuan, and the love he gave them was exactly the same as the love he gave to Tianning.
But compared to them, Tianning, who was only born after being conceived for ten months, and who had gone through hell when she was born, Xu Rongrong has such a kind of feeling that no one can replace.
Maybe Tianning was the child she gave her life for? Or was it the moment during the birth when the child lived but the adult died?
Xu Rongrong didn't know, she only knew that for her, Tianning was indeed special and irreplaceable by others. This had nothing to do with how much she loved her, it was the most primitive instinct of human beings.
Now, looking at this boy who was already fourteen or fifteen years old, Xu Rongrong raised a smile of relief, then stretched out his hand and touched Tianning's head.
Although Tianning still had a cold and handsome face, he did not refuse Xu Rongrong to touch his head. Instead, when he saw Xu Rongrong's smile, his ears turned red.
For Tianning, keeping a straight face has become a habit, but his beloved mother can melt the cold mask he wears for self-protection.
"Back." Facing Zhan Tianning, Xu Rongrong didn't say much. She just said these three words gently.
The very soft tone, with a trace of relief, a trace of satisfaction, and all kinds of indescribable complex emotions, made Tianning almost turn red in the eyes for a moment.
In a foreign country, in an unfamiliar place and with unfamiliar people, even though I have the company of my brother, sister, uncles and aunts, it is still not as good as my parents.
The best thing in this world for him is his parents, bar none.
In the outside world, if you are bullied, you can only be strong with tears in your eyes. But at home, if you are wronged, you can talk to your mother, hold your father and cry.
Some adults in their decades would hug their white-haired old mothers and cry loudly after returning from an outing, let alone a teenage child like Tianning.
It's just that he is a person with a relatively dull personality and strong perseverance, so even though his eyes turned red for a moment, he swallowed back the tears with great perseverance, and then he lowered his head to give his eyes a buffer.
At that time, I didn’t want my mother to see my red eyes.
Xu Rongrong just thought he was shy and didn't say anything. He just stepped forward, hugged the boy who was taller than him, and then raised his lips and smiled.
After greeting the three children and the adults, Xu Rongrong let go of Zhan Tianning, said hello to Min Shiyan and Gu Yixuan, and then bent down to hug Min Yuexiu.
Nowadays, little Min Yuexiu is seven or eight years old. His chubby face is as elegant and handsome as Min Shiyan, with a bit of the elegance of a noble son, and the gentleness and calmness of his mother.
This will be an outstanding child, because he has inherited all the advantages of his parents. It can be seen that his future will be brilliant.
"I haven't seen Yue Xiu for many years. I didn't expect that he would become more and more handsome as he grows older." Xu Rongrong sighed slightly, then touched Min Yuexiu's little face, "It's a pity that I don't have a younger daughter, otherwise she would have to pursue Yue Xiu.
"
Gu Yixuan next to her smiled softly. When she heard Xu Rongrong praising Yue Xiu like this, she couldn't help but glance at A Nuan secretly, and then said with a joking smile, "Actually, it doesn't matter if he is four or five years older. We don't mind."
She was originally the kind of gentle and shy woman, so when she told jokes, she also had a gentle and serious flavor, which made Xu Rongrong startled.
But then she came to her senses, looked at A Nuan with a smile, and then at Bai Yi who looked a little stiff at the side, and finally covered her lips and smiled.
Bai Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, glanced at Gu Yixuan, and said helplessly, "Aunt Gu, you're talking about me and Ah Nuan again."
Then she ran to Xu Rongrong coquettishly, shook her arm and said, "Mom, look, Aunt Gu makes fun of A Nuan and me every time. It's true. In the future, Yue Xiu will have a wife, and Mom, you have to take care of me too."
I'll talk to An Nuan back."
Gu Yixuan next to her pursed her lips and smiled, but there was a hint of mischief in the corner of her mouth. She kept looking at Bai Yi teasingly, thinking about it, she had often teased Bai Yi about A Nuan.
Thinking of this, Xu Rongrong couldn't help but pat Bai Yi on the back of the head, and then looked at the young man's face that had become more manly, and said with a helpless smile, "Yue Xiu is so young, you are being bullied and you need to find Uncle Shi Yan."
Complain, your Aunt Gu listens to Uncle Shiyan the most."
Bai Yi suddenly widened his eyes when he saw this, and then looked at Gu Yixuan's eyes rolling around in a circle, and suddenly smiled slyly, "Mom, you mean, uncle Shiyan will avenge Bai Yi tonight?"
The boy was already seventeen or eighteen years old, and it was the time when he was just starting to fall in love and was sexually confused. Now that he had made such a joke, Xu Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and Gu Yixuan succeeded in making her blush.
When Bai Yi saw that he had successfully retorted, he smiled proudly. Suddenly he noticed that his mother's eyes were slightly narrowed. He thought of his joke that was a bit out of line. Although it didn't seem like anything on the surface, the elders present were all interested.
He was smart, and they probably understood what he meant. They were stunned for a moment at first, but now they turned around and must have taught him a lesson.
Thinking of this, Bai Yi took the lead and ran behind Zhan Yiyang, using Zhan Yiyang's tall body to block his own thin body.
"Bai Yi." Xu Rongrong narrowed his eyes and shouted word by word.
Bai Yi shivered behind Zhan Yiyang, and reluctantly stretched out his head to glance at Xu Rongrong, but did not dare to respond to her.
Xu Rongrong glared at Bai Yi, but he didn't want to offend Bai Yi in public, so he could only look at Gu Yixuan and Min Shiyan apologetically.
"Sorry, this kid is a bit glib." Xu Rongrong looked at Gu Yixuan and Min Shiyan apologetically.
Gu Yixuan was still blushing and refused to raise her head, but Min Shiyan waved his hand generously and said with a nonchalant smile, "Yixuan often joked and played with this kid in the United States. No matter how old or young he is, I'm used to it.
You've gotten used to it, it'll be fine."
Xu Rongrong felt relieved now. Although she knew that her friends would not be so stingy, there were still some things that should be apologized for. After all, the target of Bai Yi's joke was the elders.
Now that Gu Yixuan and Min Shiyan didn't care, she felt relieved, but she secretly remembered that she must teach Bai Yi a lesson when she had time.
Everyone in the circle greeted each other. Xu Rongrong calculated that he was wasted here for more than half an hour. When he came, he asked Sister Ming to prepare the ingredients. Now she has to rush back to cook.
However, I always felt that something was missing. Xu Rongrong squinted his eyes and thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
She lowered her head and looked around.
Now everyone is standing at a position where Tianning is on her left, Gu Yixuan and Min Shiyan are about one meter to Xu Rongrong's right, and Wen Shanshan is holding A Nuan in front of Xu Rongrong, leaning slightly to the right.
Zhan Yiyang stood further away from Xu Rongrong, but facing him slightly to the left. Bai Yi naturally hid behind him.
Ye Zi'an and Ji Fanyi, who had been standing behind Xu Rongrong with a smile, were holding Tianning's hand and asking Tianning questions. Although Tianning had a cold temperament, he patiently answered them one by one.
Yes, everyone is here, why do I always feel like something is missing? Xu Rongrong frowned and put Yue Xiu on the ground.
Xiao Yuexiu quickly ran to Gu Yixuan's arms and rubbed Gu Yixuan's belly.
Well, child, child...Suddenly, Xu Rongrong rang out for a moment, where is Memorial En?
