Chapter 31: Walnut (1/2)
Tang Hongjun was jealous, and he held his child in his arms and kissed him several times, until the little guy hid his face away before he laughed and put him back on his small chair.
Chen Suling had prepared their meals and brought them on the table to eat together. She had already called beforehand asking what time they would get home. She was afraid that Tang Jinyu would be hungry while they waited, so she fed him some snacks.
There are many people in the family, Tang Jinyu's meals were more fragrant than the others.
When the Xia family and his son left for two days, the keys of the house were kept next door. Chen Suling took care of them properly and were able to rest, and came back to a clean house.
Teacher Xia sighed slightly when he saw this when he returned home.
Xia Ye came in and was nervous when he heard him sigh, and asked, ”Dad, do you feel uncomfortable?”
Teacher Xia sat down and took a sip of water, and smiled, he shook his head and said: ”I am fine, I am much more relaxed than before. I didn’t even breath that hard when I went upstairs today.”
Xia Ye sat there to accompany him.
Teacher Xia drank the water and said to him: ”Thanks to you this time, Dad is still young and doesn't want to be your burden. I will be fine later, I can find a company to work full-time…”
Xia Ye interrupted him and said, ”Don't worry, I still have money at home, and I have enough tuition, you just rest at home, and other things are not as important as your health.”
Teacher Xia raised his hand and touched his son's head, with a gentle tone: ”This is what an adult should do, it's my responsibility.”
Xia Ye: ”It's also your responsibility to be with me.”
He stood up and took the cup, not wanting to talk about this subject, ”You promised to take care of me for the rest of my life, and I will still be your relative.”
Teacher Xia wanted to say something, but in the end he chose not to say anything, and only nodded softly in agreement.
Xia Ye still has another parent.
But it seems that he doesn’t want him to mention her again.
Teacher Xia placed his hand over his chest and felt the re-beating stable heart, and he could clearly feel it in his palm. That's good, he will have more time to live and be able to grow up together with his son.
Xia Ye wanted to take time off to stay at home with his dad for a couple of days, but his father didn’t want him to miss any more time than he already did, and urged his son to go to school.
Although Xia Ye couldn’t stay with him, the kid next door was still there, so he would come to visit him more diligently every day.
Tang Jinyu did not go to the company with his mother for the next two days and actively asked to stay to take care of Teacher Xia. Chen Suling was a little worried at first, but she saw her son standing in front of her and saying to her, ”I have mother's phone with me, and I’ll call you if I need to.” Seeing his serious look, reminded her of what happened in the beginning of the year, and she agreed with a soft heart.
Tang Jinyu is also familiar with the Xia family. When he arrived during the day, Teacher Xia waved him over, and the child climbed onto the bed and sat there. The two of them sat there reading together. Teacher Xia read it to him in a low voice, and when he coughed a little, the child would be very nervous. In return the child read him a story to Teacher Xia, which was an amusing sight to see.
The child can do many things now, and he is sensible and obedient, Teacher Xia likes him very much.
When Xia Ye came home from school, he often ran into the little guy.
Teacher Xia became easily tired after his operation, and fell asleep several times in the evening.
Xia Ye watched his father sleep lightly, walked lightly over, and took Tang Jinyu away from the bed. The child was holding his own picture book in his hand, and was hugged by him. Xia Ye glanced at it and asked softly, ”Why read this one again? This is the one I read to you yesterday, didn’t I buy a lot of books for you? Let's read those instead.”
”Good-looking~”
Tang Jinyu doesn't care so much, as long as it is given by his elder brother, he likes it, and cherishes every single one of them.
Xia Ye put the child in his arms, took the picture book in his hand, grabbed a small game console, and sat on the sofa with his arms around him to play games for a while.
It was a very old-fashioned toy, not an electronic screen, a pink ring game console, on the palm-sized screen are two little unicorns, there are only two buttons, control the left and right bounce, so that color ferrules can be hung on the corner.
It's not even a game console.
At that time, the owner of the mall said that it is suitable for three-year-old children. Xia Ye, like all the adults in the family, treats Tang Jinyu as a smaller child, and the things he buys are as easy to operate as possible.
Xia Ye held the child's hand and led him to play, when the soft little fingers in his palm pressed the keys, looking at the screen intently.
Xia Ye rubbed the hair that was in front of him. The child's hair was very soft and the child himself was very well-behaved, sitting there without disturbing him at all.
Xia Ye hugged the child, and occasionally glanced in the direction of the bedroom.
The heart transplant that his dad got can’t be depended on forever, it has to be replaced every couple of years, but since his heart hasn't been a big problem that much in the past. Although he can't do heavy work, his life is no different from ordinary people.
He had calculated this in his heart, and the remaining money would be saved, his father shouldn’t have too much pressure, he should be able to work relatively easily.
Moreover, there was still money he is still earning right now, so he didn’t have much to worry about, he can live at ease for the next two years.
He wants to do more than just coding software for Internet cafes.
Tang Jinyu raised the game console in his hand to show him, and whispered to him: ”Brother, it's in the set!”
Xia Ye glanced at him and praised him: ”Yes, I will reward you with an orange today.”
”Wow–”
Xia Ye was amused by the child's exaggerated appearance, and he found it interesting how many times he saw it. He had never seen a child be so happy over receiving an orange.
Teacher Xia couldn't stay idle at home, but he also didn't want Xia Ye to worry about him, so he went for a walk outside every day, sometimes he would be with Tang Jinyu.
When studying in the evening at City No. 1 School, there are a lot of stalls nearby, and the crowd gathers like a small night market.
Teacher Xia would occasionally take Tang Jinyu to go there with him, and pick Xia Ye home on the way. The adults in the family will now deliberately take their child out to allow him to gradually adapt to his surrounding area. Although Tang Hongjun and his wife are a bit hesitant, they agreed to let their child to go to school.
Especially now that the children's body is gradually returning to normal, they have no reason to keep him in the house anymore.
Although they were reluctant, it was a necessary process they needed to do.
