Chapter 48: Summer Vacation (2/2)
There was a place in Xia Ye's heart that became very soft, and the sound of footsteps couldn't help being lightened. He carried the child to his bed and covered him with a thin blanket. He stood aside and watched for a while, and when he saw that the little guy was completely asleep, he turned and went to the side desk to continue to work.
This was the first time that he worked with someone else in his room. When he uses the computer, his dad would just knock on the door, and wouldn't come inside his room. It would only be for a short time before he would ever allow someone to sleep on his bed beside him, while he worked on the computer.
However, strictly speaking, it was not entirely a person, but more like a small animal, mostly relying on instinct.
Xia Ye wrote half of a code, forcibly controlling himself not to look at his side, and concentrate on doing things.
Tang Jinyu spent a week here, and in the evening, his mother came to pick him up.
Chen Suling waited at the door and rang the doorbell twice. After a while, her child came over to open the door, rushed over and hugged her leg, and called after her. Chen Suling picked up her child and tapped on the tip of his nose to tease him: ”You miss your mother so much, then next time I’ll take you with me to work, and not stay at home, okay?”
Tang Jinyu said, ”I will disturb mother.”
Chen Suling didn't think so, so she coaxed him and said, ”How would you disturb me? You grew up in your mother's office, and you have to worry if you fall asleep!”
Xia Ye just happened to walk over when he heard this, and raised his eyes to look at his brother. It was indeed the case. He was not efficient at work today.
Chen Suling was very happy to see Xia Ye, and asked him: ”Xiao Ye, when do you have summer vacation?”
Xia Ye said: ”There is one more week left.”
Chen Suling calculated the time and said happily: ”That's right, when you are free during summer vacation, you come to the company, I have found someone to make high-end clothing, and I want to make two outfits for you and Xiaoyu.”
Xia Ye said: ”Auntie, no need, the clothes you gave me before have not been worn yet, since I just usually wear my school uniform.”
Chen Suling smiled and said: ”Not enough, my two handsome guys are both talented. If you don't dress up and show them, how can I show you off to others?”
Xia Ye smiled and nodded.
Tang Jinyu interjected, while in his mother's arms: ”When my brother is on summer vacation, the melons will be ripe.”
The melon seedlings reborn in the ”greenhouse” are growing very well. The melon seedlings that other families are growing, take two months to grow. Since they have Tang Honjun’s ‘Pulling out seedlings to promote growth’. It bears a big watermelon in just over a month with a big round flower, appearing especially beautiful!
Xia Ye also knew the watermelon that the child loved the most, and smiled: ”Are you willing to let me eat it?”
Tang Jinyu nodded and smiled like crescents, ”Everyone eat together~”
Xia Ye thought about the size of the watermelon, and if it grows for a few more days, it will weigh more than ten kilograms, which is indeed enough for their family members to eat.
Chen Suling asked him if he wanted to have dinner with them, but Xia Ye shook his head and refused, ”My dad is coming back tonight. I have almost prepared everything. I will wait for him to come back to eat together in the evening.”
Chen Suling didn't persuade him to say so much, and led the little guy back to the front yard.
They are close to each other and everything was convenient.
Xia Ye calculated the time and cooked two bowls of noodles with shredded pork and green vegetables. With the same recipe that he made at noon, he knew himself well. This time, he poured the mustard pickles on the plate in advance.
After Teacher Xia came back, he smelled the aroma of the food and was a little surprised: ”Xiaoye, did you cook?”
Xia Ye took chopsticks and put them on the dining table and said, ”I just finished, Dad, eat it while it's hot.”
Teacher Xia went to wash his hands and came to eat, but he was not as relaxed as usual, sitting at his own chair and eating two bites, hesitating to say something.
Xia Ye glanced at him and said, ”Dad, does it taste bad?”
”Ah? Oh, no, it's not about food. You did a good job.” Teacher Xia hurriedly ate two bites, but after swallowing, he paused with his chopsticks and looked at Xia Ye carefully, and said, “Xiaoye, are you free during summer vacation?”
Xia Ye was stunned, and asked him doubtfully: ”Why are you asking if I’m busy during summer vacation, I’m not busy, is there something wrong?”
Teacher Xia hesitated and let him eat first. When Xia Ye finished, he frowned and asked, ”What's wrong?”
Teacher Xia said: ”It's like this, your mother called me, she wants to pick you up, and take you with her for summer vacation…”
Xia Ye put down his chopsticks with a ‘bam’, his father who was sitting opposite immediately did not dare to go on, and looked down at the bowl. Xia Ye said: ”This matter is easy to solve, I will change your SIM card phone now, and all the landlines at home will be changed too, so she can't find it, so she won't need to contact us again.”
”Xiaoye…”
Xia Ye closed his eyes and said, ”Dad, I am not targeting you.”
Teacher Xia sighed, ”I know.”
The father and son did not speak again all night, and Teacher Xia also frowned slightly. When taking the medicine at night, Xia Ye saw this and poured him a glass of warm water.
Teacher Xia drank two sips of water and rubbed his fingers on the cup of glass a few times. ”She hasn't seen you for many years and said she misses you.”
Xia Ye remained unmoved, and said coldly: ”She is an adult, and she can come back by herself.”
Teacher Xia shook his head and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, it turned into a sigh, patted his son's hand and said, ”I was useless, your mother wanted to pursue her own life, she wasn’t in the wrong. I couldn’t keep holding her down all the time.”
When Xia Ye saw the medicine on the table, he regretted saying anything. When he heard his father say this, he immediately apologized, ”Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I…I was just in a bad mood.”
Teacher Xia said: ”Anyway, she is your mother, and she still cares about you.”
Xia Ye sat aside and remained silent.
