Jiang Tiecheng didn't leave that night; this was the first time he had slept in this house.
In the afternoon, Ouyang Chang'an, Ouyang Chengyu, and Ouyang Huainan accompanied him as he walked around the house, and the brothers even played basketball in the backyard for a while.
Perhaps because of the interaction, the distance between them was quickly shortened, especially since they were of similar age.
Jiang Tiecheng and Ouyang Chang'an are only two years apart in age.
He is two years younger than his twin brother below him.
In addition, the whole family has very cheerful personalities. The eldest brother, Ouyang Chang'an, is mature and steady. Although he is only 23 years old, he has already taken on a major role in the Ouyang family.
Moreover, Ouyang Chang'an has an exceptionally high IQ and graduated from university early on.
And they started working very early.
Despite his young age, he is now the director of a heavy machinery plant.
If he performs well, he will probably be transferred to the Economic and Trade Commission next.
And the twin brothers below, needless to say, are currently in college.
Moreover, their results were outstanding.
In short, all my brothers are very capable.
Jiang Tiecheng is a gentle and unassuming person who doesn't compete or fight for anything.
So the four brothers got along perfectly.
Needless to say, dinner was cooked by the old lady herself, as it was the first time her son had come home.
I've been carefully observing this child since lunchtime and know that he's not a picky eater.
She basically ate whatever was given to her, but she felt a little bitter. Apart from her eldest son, all of her other sons...
They are both picky eaters.
Jiang Tiecheng's lack of picky eating only proves that his adoptive parents did not give him the opportunity to be picky about food.
Although the child wasn't a picky eater, a mother would still observe carefully and notice that Jiang Tiecheng would eat a few more bites of certain foods, which proved that she preferred them.
After being discharged from the hospital, the old man still needed to rest more, so the old lady prepared a table full of food in the room.
Dinner was very lavish.
Originally, Grandpa Ouyang wanted to have a couple of drinks, but Jiang Tiecheng forcefully stopped him.
Given that his son is now a son and not a doctor, the old man felt helpless.
It's because this son just came back; otherwise, given his temper, even the King of Heaven couldn't control him.
But now he can only obediently listen and behave himself.
That night, Jiang Tiecheng slept on the bed that had been specially prepared for him, covered with a careless blanket.
The duvet cover has been washed clean and still smells faintly of soap.
It's easy to imagine that the old lady takes great care of everything she prepares for him.
Otherwise, it will only smell like mothballs.
I thought I would toss and turn and not be able to sleep, but I slept very soundly.
When he opened his eyes, it was already slightly bright. This was his biological clock; he had to get up very early to prepare for surgery.
The yard was quiet, and no one in the family was awake. He went outside to run a lap first.
It's still necessary to exercise. Even when he's having surgery, he'll still make time to get up and run 5km in the morning.
On the one hand, he needed to train his body; on the other hand, he was, after all, still a soldier.
When he got home, his family hadn't gotten up yet, so Jiang Tiecheng went to the kitchen alone.
After Grandma Ouyang and Grandpa got up, Grandma Ouyang finished washing up and came down to the kitchen to prepare breakfast herself.
Although Aunt Li is at home, my son is at home now.
She was afraid that her son might not be used to certain foods.
As a result, standing at the kitchen door, I saw that tall figure busy in front of the stove.
Jiang Tiecheng saw the commotion at the door and hurriedly turned around. He saw Old Madam Ouyang staring at him with complicated eyes, and couldn't help but smile.
"morning!"
The old lady suppressed her bitterness. The child's movements were so skillful; one could imagine that he did these chores at home every day, a grown man cooking in the kitchen.
If this were in their family, they would never let this child cook. With several sons in the family, who would know how to cook?
"Why are you awake so early? Are you hungry? Come on, Mom, I'll make you something!"
"Did you not sleep well last night? It's a bit of a hassle to find a new bed in a new place."
The old lady found an apron.
Jiang Tiecheng smiled and refused.
"I don't have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar beds at all. Last night was the best sleep I've ever had. I've been so busy with the medical team lately that I haven't had time to sleep at all."
I didn't even dream about it; I slept soundly until dawn.
"Don't bother, I'll do it. I was thinking of making breakfast for everyone today."
"You should also try my cooking and see if my breakfast is delicious."
Hearing the child's words, Old Mrs. Ouyang felt even more distressed, and holding the apron, she was at a loss.
"Okay, I'll try it."
Jiang Tiecheng was not wearing an apron.
She hurriedly went over and took the apron to tie it on him, but hesitated, wondering if the child would refuse if she tied the apron on him.
Jiang Tiecheng noticed the twitching of Old Madam Ouyang out of the corner of his eye and immediately understood.
The old lady was afraid of offending her in the slightest.
He voluntarily raised both arms.
"Please tie an apron on me, I completely forgot about aprons."
The old lady immediately smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her son's waist from behind.
The old lady didn't tie her apron; instead, she leaned against her son's back and cried softly.
This is the first time she has been this close to her son.
I only held this child once after he was born, and then we didn't see each other for 21 years.
When we met again, the child who cried like a kitten had grown so tall.
Jiang Tiecheng paused, feeling a pang of sadness at the sight of those hot tears behind him.
The scalding tears were so hot they made his heart tremble.
This was the first hug from my mother, and it felt so warm and safe.
Even though Old Mrs. Ouyang was clearly just a 1.65m tall old lady, she looked so petite and frail in front of him.
But when she hugged me, I felt a long-lost warmth.
Liu Cuie had never hugged her, not even as far back as she could remember. She felt she didn't deserve a hug from her parents when she was little.
Actually, if you think about it, there are clues to these things.
Liu Cuie treats herself differently from her younger siblings; if her younger siblings fall down, Liu Cuie will quickly help them up.
I held them in my arms and comforted them, brushing the dirt off their bodies.
But no matter how many times I fall or how badly I get injured.
Liu Cuie always tells herself,
"You're a boy, a real man doesn't cry. What are you crying for?"
"You are the eldest brother in the family. You must be strong when things happen, and you must set a good example for your younger siblings."
"You should take care of your younger siblings. You're such a big kid, why are you still crying?"
It turns out that what I've been longing for has always been waiting here.
