When Tong Xiaogang and Li Qian entered Chen Jian's yard, Chen Jian was sitting in the yard smoking, looking into the distance, thinking.

Today is Sunday, and Chen Jian did not go to school. He likes to sit alone in the yard, smoke quietly, or think about small things, or think about nothing, and look at everything in front of him in a daze. He feels this is a kind of enjoyment.

"Dad." Tong Xiaogang shouted. He always called Chen Jian unwillingly, a bit like a son-in-law calling him father-in-law.

Chen Jian looked back and was stunned at first, then laughed, "Xiaogang, you kid is back!"

"Well, this is my wife, Li Qian." Tong Xiaogang introduced.

"Dad!" Li Qian shouted. Although Chen Jian's image was not great, it was better than she thought. Chen Lijun was not necessarily better than him when he was old.

Chen Jian said "ah" and stood up from the stool, looking up and down at Li Qian with a big belly. Li Qian's appearance was different from what he imagined. He had heard that Tong Xiaogang married a fairy woman and looked a bit like her, but she was quite dignified.

"Xiao Lan's mother, come out and see who is coming!" Chen Jian shouted into the house.

The sound of fighting in the TV series in the room gradually became smaller. Wu Changlan walked out with the TV remote control and looked closely, "Is Xiaogang back?"

Then he looked at Li Qian again, with a little contempt in his eyes, but a smile piled on his face, "Girl, what's your name when we've seen it?"

"Mom! My name is Li Qian." This is the first time that Li Qian calls another woman a mother. She is a little awkward, but from the bottom of her heart.

"Hey, yes, look at my memory. I'm about to give birth, are you?" Wu Changlan stared at Li Qian's belly.

Li Qian smiled and said, "There are about two months left."

Regarding Li Qian, Wu Changlan met when he went to Shenzhen two years ago to deal with Chen Lijun's arrest. At that time, Tong Xiaogang and Li Qiangang went from Shenzhen to Dongguan and opened a hair salon. Wu Changlan and Tong Dayong and others went to Dongguan to drink their opening wine.

At that time, Wu Changlan thought that Tong Xiaogang was running a regular hair salon, and thought that his adopted son was quite capable. Later, he realized that the so-called hair salon was just a name, and he did not just a haircut business.

"Xiao Lan's mother, don't stand at the door, let the children go in, it's cold outside." Chen Jian reminded.

"Oh, come in and sit in!" Wu Changlan gave in and said, "Tong Xiaogang went into the house with a gift first. Because of his lame legs and his body shaking, he was seen by Chen Jian and his wife, but they didn't say anything. They had heard of Tong Xiaogang being beaten and lame.

Although he didn't say anything, Chen Jian's heart still felt a little painful. Although he was not his biological son, he had been with him for so many years and had feelings. Besides, this made him feel ashamed of Sun Xiuli's entrustment.

Li Qian also followed into the house. Tong Xiaogang put the gift on the table and took Li Qian down on the sofa. The sofa is very old-fashioned, with a hollow towel on the handrail. You can hear the sound of springs when you sit down.

There is a coal stove in the house, and the kettle on the stove is steaming, full of warmth and vitality in winter.

"Why did you come back suddenly? Aren't you from Dongguan?" Chen Jian asked.

"I'm back, I won't go back in the future." Tong Xiaogang said as he took out the Chinese cigarette, handed one to Teacher Chen, and lit one himself, and the house was immediately covered with smoke. There was no saying that he would not smoke in front of a pregnant woman in the countryside, Li Qian, who also came from the countryside, could naturally understand it.

"I won't go back, where are your luggage?" Wu Changlan asked.

"Mom, it's in the county." Li Qian said.

"We will live in the county town from now on, and we will prepare to buy a house in the city after a while." Tong Xiaogang added.

Teacher Chen nodded and sighed: "It's good to come back. No matter how good it is outside, how good it is, how good it is to have your own hometown? The fallen leaves will return to their roots. Li Jun will come out in more than a year, and I hope he can come back then. Alas, he has become a prisoner outside, which is embarrassing!"

Speaking of Chen Lijun, Tong Xiaogang felt a little guilty. He had to take away money from the transfer bar, and he wanted to avoid Aji's revenge, so he went to rob the supermarket with a few friends, but Chen Jian and his wife didn't know the cause and effect of this matter.

Tong Xiaogang couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and walked out into the yard. Li Qian wanted to breathe the fresh air, so she followed him out.

"Where is your home?" Li Qian asked.

"Did you mean when you were a child? It's right there." Tong Xiaogang pointed to the house next to Chen Jian's family.

Li Qian walked over, looked at the bright lock hanging on the door, and looked inside through the small glass window with steel strips. Because there were curtains inside, she could not see anything.

"Do you have a key? Can you open it and take a look?" Li Qian asked.

At this time, Teacher Chen had already walked out. Seeing that Li Qian wanted to go in, she fell back into the room to look for the key.

After a while, Chen Jian came with the key and opened the door. Everything inside surprised Tong Xiaogang. He hadn't entered the house for many years. It was still so clean inside, and there was also an additional set of simple sofas and combination cabinets.

"Dad, is anyone living here?" Tong Xiaogang asked.

"Your brother came back to live some time ago. He and Xu Bingbing divorced. Do you know?"

"I know, I called him a few days ago."

"These things were bought by him and Xu Bingbing when they came back to get their marriage certificate last year. Xu Bingbing wanted to treat this place as their home in Dali, but she didn't expect to divorce in less than a year."

Tong Xiaogang didn't say anything else, and looked around with Li Qian, as if he was recalling some things from the past.

"This is you, how old were you at that time?" Li Qian asked Tong Xiaogang at the photo in the old photo frame on the wall.

"At four years old." Tong Xiaogang said.

Chen Jian corrected: "It was five years old, and your brother was seven at that time."

"That's what your parents took in the first year of leaving, right?" Li Qian asked.

"Yes, it's the first year when his father passed away and his mother ran away from home." Chen Jian answered for Tong Xiaogang.

Li Qian naturally knew about Tong Xiaogang's life experience. She stared at the single photo of Sun Xiuli next to her and was stunning, "Your mother is so beautiful!"

"Of course, why would I be so handsome?" Tong Xiaogang said complacently, and suddenly asked, "Where is there a photo? I remember there is a photo of the whole family, the one of our family of four. Why is it missing?"

Chen Jian didn't expect that Tong Xiaogang still remembered the photo. He didn't plan to tell Tong Xiaogang about the suspicion that Sun Xiuli came back. Seeing that he found that the photo was missing, he said, "I suspect that your mother came back and took it away."

Tong Xiaogang turned his head incredibly to look at Chen Jian, "No, my mother is still alive?"

"She just ran away from home and didn't say she was dead." Chen Jian said.

"It's strange, how did she come in? She has the key? Why did she come back secretly?" Tong Xiaogang asked in a series of questions.

"I don't know this anymore, I'm thinking about it too." Chen Jian said.
