3 she came
Finally arriving at the door of his courtyard, Ye Tianming's heart trembled and he looked inside.
After just one glance, Ye Tianming's expression changed.
The small courtyard of the past has become extremely dilapidated, with a lot of junk piled inside. It doesn't look like a place where people live!
A gust of wind blew by, making it even more desolate!
Ye Tianming rubbed his eyes and looked at all this in disbelief.
Why is this happening?
Is this still your home?
At this moment, there were footsteps coming from the side.
Ye Tianming turned around and saw two old people picking up trash.
The two old men were skinny, with gray hair and wrinkled faces.
The clothes on his body were dirty, torn, and full of patches.
The waste and garbage on their backs were too heavy, bending their thin bodies.
Every time they took a step, the two old men had to take a break.
Ye Tianming looked at these two old people and felt pitiful.
It is really miserable to have to go out to pick up garbage at such an old age.
He stepped forward, ready to help the two of them.
As soon as I walked up to the two of them, I saw their faces clearly.
Ye Tianming froze suddenly as if he was struck by lightning!
At this second, an indescribable emotion rushed directly to Ye Tianming's head!
Tears filled Ye Tianming's eyes for a moment. He could no longer hold back and said tremblingly to the two old people:
"Dad, Mom...how could it be you?!"
The two old men stopped and slowly raised their heads with difficulty, looking at Ye Tianming.
When they saw Ye Tianming, the waste and garbage on the two old men's backs fell to the ground.
"It's... dawn?!"
"Dad, Mom, it's me! I'm Tianming, I'm your second elder's son!!"
Ye Tianming's eyes were filled with tears. He couldn't bear it anymore and hugged the two old people.
The two old men also cried at this moment.
These two are Ye Tianming's father and mother, Ye Jianguo and Xu Cuirong!
Xu Cuirong hugged Ye Tianming tightly and burst into tears.
"Tianming...Son, you are finally back. Mom has had such a hard time looking for you all these years!"
Ye Tianming let his tears fall. Seeing his parents like this made him feel really uncomfortable!
"Mom, why are you picking up garbage? I remember, don't you have jobs?"
Letting go of the second elder, Ye Tianming wiped away the tears for the second elder, full of doubts in his heart.
There were complicated expressions on the faces of Ye Jianguo and Xu Cuirong.
Xu Cuirong smiled with red eyes:
"Child, let's not talk about this for now. Let's go home! You must be hungry. Mom will cook for you."
Ye Tianming's heart trembled, and the tears he had just held back almost fell again.
Following the two elders into the small courtyard house, Ye Tianming became more doubtful.
When I left, my family was still fine, and both my parents had stable jobs.
Why is it so miserable now?
And he just vaguely saw scars on Ye Jianguo's body, why?
Sitting at the table, Ye Tianming finally couldn't help but ask:
"Dad, Mom, what happened in the past few years, and why is our family like this?"
The wrinkles on Ye Jianguo's face were squeezed together. After a moment of silence, he sighed:
"Tianming, your aunt did all this."
Ye Tianming was startled and said in disbelief: "Aunt? How is this possible?"
Ye Jianguo smiled bitterly: "Tianming, you should still remember that a few years ago, your uncle and your aunt came to our house to borrow money when they wanted to do business and needed money, right?"
Ye Tianming nodded and said: "I remember that you took out all our family's savings at that time, a total of 200,000. Did they pay it back later?"
Ye Jianguo shook his head and sighed: "If I had known that your aunt would become this kind of person now, I shouldn't have lent money to their family back then."
Ye Tianming was puzzled.
Ye Jianguo sighed: "After your aunt's family turned around, not only did they not pay back the money, they also forced us to sell our small courtyard to their family because there are rumors that this place will be demolished in a few years, and there is a large building." Money.”
"Your mother and I didn't agree, and we ended up having a bad fight with your aunt and her family. In order to retaliate against us, your aunt made people interrupt my and your mother's work."
Ye Tianming understood at this moment, he clenched his fists and his eyes slowly turned cold:
"This Su Hongli turns out to be so shameless. I really misjudged her."
Xu Cuirong sighed: "Tianming, your aunt is a boss now. Don't go to her to cause trouble. We can't fight her."
Ye Tianming saw Ye Jianguo and Xu Cuirong in such miserable condition, how could he swallow his breath?
He must ask Su Hongli for an explanation!
However, he didn’t want the second elder to worry, so he nodded and said:
"I know, parents, don't worry, I know what's going on."
A gratified smile appeared on the two elders' faces. Xu Cuirong looked at Ye Tianming again and said:
"Tianming, where have you been these past few years? When you left home without saying a word, your dad and I were so worried that we couldn't sleep all day and all night."
Xu Cuirong's eyes turned red again. After several years of separation, the two of them even thought Ye Tianming was dead.
How can we not be excited to meet again now?
Ye Tianming looked at the two elders, feeling full of regret.
"Dad, Mom, I left suddenly and didn't have time to tell you two that I have been studying with a master in the mountains for the past three years. Now that my son has returned from his studies, he will definitely make you live a happy life. .”
Ye Jianguo smiled and said, "It's good to come back. Don't think so much. We can just live a normal life as a family."
Xu Cuirong also smiled and said: "Yes, Tianming, you are in your twenties now. The most important thing now is to work hard, get a wife, and let your parents have grandchildren."
Ye Tianming smiled and said: "Mom, work is not urgent. What is important now is for you to meet your daughter-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, the old couple was a little confused.
Xu Cuirong was a little surprised and said: "Tianming, are you dating someone?"
Ye Tianming shook his head and said: "No, but my master has arranged several marriages for me and asked me to choose one by one when I come back this time. I guess someone from our family will come to visit soon."
Xu Cuirong and Ye Jianguo looked at each other, even more surprised.
Several marriages?
The old couple suddenly felt extremely happy. At their age, what they wanted most was to see their son start a family and start a business, and then enjoy family happiness.
Xu Cuirong hurriedly said to Ye Jianguo: "Old man, clean up the yard quickly. There are so many waste products in our yard. The girl will definitely be disgusted when she sees it."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jianguo hurriedly got up and went to clean up.
Ye Tianming grabbed Ye Jianguo and smiled:
"Dad, there's no need to deal with it. They are rushing to marry your son now, and they won't dislike it."
Ye Jianguo was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said seriously:
"Tian Ming, you have to be down-to-earth and don't talk big words. With the conditions in our family, how can any girl rush to marry you? Be obedient and let dad take care of things first. Although we are not a rich family, we are sincere to girls. of."
Ye Tianming couldn't laugh or cry because his father thought he was bragging.
He smiled helplessly and couldn't say anything else.
Ye Jianguo was cleaning up the small courtyard. The courtyard was tidy, but it still looked dilapidated.
Especially the pile of waste and garbage in the corner is even more dazzling.
Liu Cuirong thought for a while and then said:
"Old man, why don't we go change our clothes and tidy up a little, so that the girl won't gossip right away."
Ye Jianguo heard the same thing, and hurriedly went back to the house with Liu Cuirong to change clothes, and came out soon.
Ye Tianming looked at the two of them, his nose suddenly sore.
The clothes Ye Jianguo and Liu Cuirong were wearing were wrinkled, although they were cleaner than the ones they wore before.
But it has also turned white after washing, and there are still a few small holes in the collar and sleeves.
Seeing Ye Tianming's look, Liu Cuirong quickly shrank his sleeves back, his face red and looking a little embarrassed.
She was afraid of embarrassing Ye Tianming by dressing like this.
But these two clothes were already the best clothes for her and Ye Jianguo.
Liu Cuirong looked at Ye Tianming and said cautiously;
"Tianming, mom and your dad haven't bought any clothes in the past few years. This is the only one we have. Look...can we wear this?"
Ye Tianming saw Liu Cuirong's expression in his eyes and saw his mother looking so humble when facing him.
His nose was sore, his eyes were hot, and his heart felt like a knife.
How could he not understand his mother's thoughts?
That's because I'm afraid that I will dislike them!
He raised his head, held back his tears, took a deep breath and smiled:
"Dad, Mom, just wear this. It's fine."
Liu Cuirong and Ye Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, with happy smiles on their faces.
As long as the son doesn't dislike them, that's fine.
A family of three sat in the small courtyard waiting.
Ye Tianming's expression was calm and relaxed, but the old couple looked very nervous.
At this moment, Ye Tianming's ears twitched slightly and he heard footsteps outside the small courtyard.
Finally someone came.
