Do you know how cold it is at night in winter in the north?
I think I knew it before, but I just don’t remember it.
When I was still a swaddled baby, I was so ruthlessly thrown into the snow in the northern winter by my biological parents.
It wasn't until early morning that a man passed by and picked me up.
And the man who picked me up and took me home was my adoptive father, Tao Ya. Tao Ya gave me a second life. Just like that, my new life began!

When spring came next year, Tao Ye was overjoyed to register me as a registered permanent resident and officially adopted me. He gave me a somewhat strange name - Tao Zhiyao.
He said that I was a treasure given to him by God, and that I had a pair of eyes as smart as a fairy, so he called me a demon.
In fact, Tao Ye was also a man with a poor background. His parents died young and he did not have a family. He was a teacher at a nearby primary school and his only relative was a married sister.
In this way, Tao Ye and I depended on each other. After many years, I gradually grew up and went to elementary school. My classmates all knew that my father was a teacher in our school, which made me very proud.
Tao Ye and I get along, not like father and daughter but more like friends. He is not as majestic to me as a father is to his children. No matter how naughty or mischievous I am, he can treat me with kindness and kindness.
Later, a woman suddenly appeared at home. I called her Aunt Su. Aunt Su was very amiable and had medium-long hair, which was very decent.
She would often come over to clean up the house when we were resting, and cook a table of delicious food for Tao Ye and me. She was kind to Tao Ye, and she was kind to me.
I remember one weekend, I went to a nearby classmate’s house to play. The classmate suddenly said to me: "Tao Zhiyao, you are going to have a mother."
I was shocked and didn’t understand what he meant, so I said: "Young Master Nonsense. "
" Really! A few days ago, my mother and I went out to eat and met your father. He took me to your house to find the aunt you saw last time and talked to my mother. Then your father left. , my mother said you will have a new mother soon." The classmate explained to me.
I don’t know why, but I was very unhappy after hearing what my classmates said. I ran home, opened the door, and saw Tao Ye sitting on the sofa watching TV.
When he saw me coming back, he happily asked me if I was hungry. I ignored him and ran straight to my room.
After returning to the room, I fell asleep on the table. Tao Ye asked me to eat at night, and I was woken up by his voice. When I woke up, I found that a large piece of the table was wet with my tears.
I was unusually silent while eating. Tao Ye saw my red eyes and asked me strangely what was wrong.
I couldn’t bear it any longer, so I cried and said to him: "Dad, I don’t want Aunt Su to be my mother."
He was obviously shocked by my words, and then he held me in his arms very distressedly, but He remained silent and said nothing.
Later, Aunt Su never came to my house again, and Tao Ye and I returned to our previous lives.
One night, I got up to go to the bathroom and found that the light in Tao Ye's room was on. I quietly walked to the door and heard him talking on the phone to his aunt.
I heard Tao Ye say to her aunt: "Yaoyao is too young. I don't want to get married yet, and I don't want my children to be wronged. Let's talk about it in two years! Xiaosu is a very good person. Please tell her, I can't delay her, right?" ."
For some reason, I felt very uncomfortable when my dad said this, and I ran back to the room with a sore nose.

Time passed very quickly. In a blink of an eye, I entered middle school. Tao Zhi seemed to be getting a little older. He always liked to sit at the desk in his room and read, accompanied by the yellowish light. Inadvertently, I saw his A few silvery hair sprouted from the temples.
When the second grade of junior high school started, Tao Ye took me to school on his bicycle. I lay on his back and hugged his waist, just like I did when I was a child. I chatted with him about daily life, and he told me over and over again. I want to study hard.
I complained impatiently: This old man is really old and too verbose.
Tao Ye sent me to the gate of the middle school. I looked at his back as he rode away, and suddenly I felt sour for some reason.
It’s been so many years. If I hadn’t nurtured you, would you have gotten married long ago? Will he be lonely too?
So, when I came home from the holiday, I said to Tao Ye: "Dad, after so many years, you should find someone. I don't need a mother, but you need someone to accompany you!"
Tao Ye listened to my words very much. She said to me happily: "My Yaoyao has grown up and is sensible."
Just like that, Aunt Dong appeared. She was divorced and heard that she had a son with her ex-husband. She seemed very satisfied with Tao Ye, and she was also polite to me.
Tao Ye is actually quite handsome. He is 1.8 meters tall, has big eyes, a high nose, and wears a pair of black thin-rimmed glasses. He is always elegant and elegant.
Aunt Dong and Tao Ye are getting along better and better, but every time I see them, I always feel strangely uncomfortable, even though I try to control my emotions.
Finally one night, Aunt Dong stayed at home after cooking.
I locked the bedroom door, but tears fell uncontrollably, because I realized that my father, who had loved me since childhood, no longer belonged to me alone, and because of the arrival of Aunt Dong, my father and I were separated. I'm afraid female love will never go back to the past.
In the middle of the night, I developed a high fever, and woke up Tao Ye who was sleeping uncomfortably, and told him that I felt so uncomfortable. He hurriedly accompanied me to the hospital for emergency treatment.
I didn’t say a word when I was hanging out. Tao Ye seemed to see my loss. He touched my fingers and asked me what was wrong. Is it uncomfortable?
I lay on his shoulder and choked up, unable to speak.
He didn’t know that my heart felt worse than my physical discomfort.
Later I fell asleep lying on Tao Ye's shoulder. When I woke up, I found that a large piece of his shirt shoulder was wet. I don't know whether it was my tears or saliva.
Tao Ye didn't say anything, but took me to eat. When he saw that I didn't have a fever, he sent me back to school.
The next weekend, I didn’t go home. I wandered around the school gloomily alone. I didn’t want to go back because I didn’t know how to face Tao Ye and Aunt Dong.
While I was walking aimlessly, I didn't notice that someone came to me quietly. He patted my shoulder behind me and looked very happy, but I was startled by him and looked at me intently. It's Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi is my classmate. He has excellent academic performance. He is always smiling and has a good relationship with me.
"What's wrong, my beautiful lady is unhappy?" Zhou Qi followed me and asked with a playful smile.
"Stay away from me, I'm so annoying!" I said angrily.
He was not annoyed at all, and continued to say with a smile: "Are you not happy? Let me take you to a happy place."
Before I could refuse, Zhou Qi pulled me and ran away. I was dragged out of the school gate by him, He casually called a taxi, and I got into the car with him by some strange coincidence that day.
Zhou Qi pulled me into a KTV. It was the first time I sang in my life. I was very happy. His singing voice was very nice. I liked this feeling very much. In an instant, all the depression was gone. .
When I woke up again, I was on the hotel bed. It was already the afternoon of the next day. Zhou Qi left me a note saying: Seeing that you were sleeping so soundly, I didn’t call you. I went to class first. ,Ha ha!

Oh my god!
Zhou Qi is a scammer!
didn’t go to class, the school will definitely notify Tao Ye, and he must be looking for me to go crazy now.
Sure enough, when I got dressed, I picked up the phone and saw that Tao Ye had called me countless times.
I immediately replayed the call: "Hey! Dad!"
"Yaoyao! Where have you been?" Tao Ye said in a hoarse voice.
"Dad, I'm fine. I went to my classmate's house. I played too late yesterday and overslept. I'm sorry."
made sure that I was fine. He relaxed a lot and said to me: "You kid, don't let others Don't worry, where are you now? Dad went to pick you up. "No, I can go back by myself. I will explain it to the teacher. Don't worry." "You can rest assured if Tao Ye sees me, I can't help him," he said. I asked him to wait for me at the intersection near our school. I washed my face and ran out in a hurry.
Finally, at the intersection not far from the school, I saw Tao Yao who was anxiously waiting for me. He was only wearing a thin piece of clothing, and his gray hair was blown randomly by the wind. He looked a little pitiful.
I ran towards him, hanging my head, choking and unable to speak.
"What's wrong with Yaoyao? What's wrong, Yaoyao?"
Tao Ye patted my back gently and called me very gently, "Dad is just worried about you and won't scold you. Don't worry, but you can't do this again." , Do you know? "
" Got it. I lowered my head and didn't look at him.
He then said: "Okay, go back to school quickly. By the way, you have to go home every weekend from now on, so go quickly!"
Tao Ye gently pushed me back towards the school, and I took a few steps. , looked back at Tao Ye, he had been looking at me very gently and smiling at me.
"Dad!" I shouted.
He walked into me and asked: "What's wrong?"
"I...I...have no money. Can you give me some money?"
"You kid, why are you acting weird today?"
Tao Ye looked at me doubtfully while taking money from his pocket and stuffing it into my hand.
The next weekend, when I returned home, Aunt Dong was not there?
"Dad, why didn't Aunt Dong come today?" I was a little confused.
"Aunt Dong and I broke up. We are not suitable. From now on, you and dad will live in this family." Tao Ye said lightly.
I didn’t ask any more questions. I didn’t know whether I was happy or unhappy.
I clearly remember that day Tao Ye stewed a chicken for me. It was very fragrant, but I couldn’t eat it.
One day, Tao Ye was not at home, and I had nothing to do to clean the house for him. I accidentally saw the diary he wrote the day after I recovered from my illness.
The diary said: "Yaoyao is a child who hides all her thoughts in her heart. Although she didn't say anything, I know that she hopes that in this family, it will be just the two of us, this child!"
later entered higher education. The pressure was pressing hard on me, and Zhou Qi told me that we should all work hard. With the encouragement of Tao Ye and Zhou Qi, I focused all my attention on my studies.
Just like that, a few years later, I graduated from high school. I was 19 years old and was admitted to a good local university. Tao Ye was so happy that to celebrate me, she cooked a large table of sumptuous dishes for me at home. .
That day, while I was happy, I said to Tao Ye: "I have graduated and am an adult. I like Zhou Qi and want to be with him."
When Tao Ye heard this, the smile on his face froze and he sat on the chair He said to me angrily with a livid face: "He is not a reliable person."
I saw that his lips and hands were trembling slightly.

"Where is the unreliability? Now you are free to fall in love, you have nothing to do with it, I just like Zhou Qi. "
" you! you shut up! "Tao Ye roared at me, his eyes were frighteningly red.
I ran out of the house in despair, but met Zhou Qi on the street. Zhou Qi was very excited to see me. He hugged me and said, "Monster. Yao, we both went to the same university. Are you happy? "
I didn't want to pay attention to him, lowered my head and said nothing, but Zhou Qi said to me: "Yaoyao, you know, I have liked you for so many years, and now that we have finally grown up, can you be my girlfriend? ? "
Looking at Zhou Qi's sincere eyes, I felt unspeakable grievance and sadness. I lay in Zhou Qi's arms and cried non-stop, agreeing to date him.
Later, I went to college. , as before, we went home when we had time, but neither Tao Ye nor I mentioned the unhappiness of that day again. Tao Ye did not stop me and Zhou Qi anymore, and he still loved me as much as ever.
But I seemed to feel guilty. Likewise, I always dare not look directly into Tao Ye's eyes.
The university is far away from home and I can't go home often, so I always call him to ask him to eat on time. If he has high blood pressure , he should not forget to take medicine. When we were two years old, Zhou Qi and I started living together near the school, and we lived a very happy life.
But the good times did not last long. Zhou Qi’s investment failed, and the debt collectors threw red paint on the door, and life began to pass. Terrified.
In order to pay off Zhou Qi’s debt, I didn’t even attend classes and worked everywhere to earn money.
The incident was finally discovered by Tao Yae. That day, he came to see me secretly and saw me washing dishes through the glass window. His face was ugly.
When I saw him and couldn't run out of the restaurant, he scolded me angrily: "I have raised your beloved for so many years, and I didn't ask you to wash dishes in the restaurant. "
Then he used his clothes to wipe the water stains on my hands, and desperately wanted me to resign.
That afternoon, looking at his hunched back, my eyes were wet, and I had never done anything.
I asked Tao Ye Talking about the situation between me and Zhou Qi.
When he saw Zhou Qi, he slapped Zhou Qi hard and said to Tao Ye with red eyes: "As a man, you have to think carefully about everything you do, because There is a woman beside you who is waiting to protect you from the wind and rain. You cannot let her suffer. "
Zhou Qi held his head, looking very distressed, and just said feebly over and over again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't want to either. "
Before leaving, Tao Ye gave me a bank card and told me that if I still wanted to be with Zhou Qi, I would pay back the money I owed him and let me keep the rest for the next semester. Pay tuition and go to school well.
I recognized that card, it was Tao Yi’s entire savings. I took the bank card and knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
The debt was paid off, but Zhou Qi changed. He drank all day long and was depressed. , even hanging out with unscrupulous women, hurting my heart again and again. When I found out, he knelt on the ground and slapped himself in the mouth, begging me for forgiveness.
When I thought of Tao Ye giving me his life savings, My heart ached uncontrollably after I paid off my debt to this helpless man. In the end, Zhou Qi and I broke up.
A person who surrenders after one failure is not worthy of love, so let him be alone. !

After I broke up with Zhou Qi, I was in a bad mood. Tao Ye always called me to enlighten me. He told me: "Home will always be my shelter from wind and rain, and my father will always be there." "
One day, Tao Ye called me. On the phone, he hesitated and asked me to go home. I thought something was wrong with him. When I asked for leave and hurried back home, I saw a strange man sitting at home. woman.
I looked at Tao Ye in confusion, but the woman had tears in her eyes, hugged me, cried and shouted: "My daughter, mom has finally found you."
I was stunned on the spot, Tao Ye told I said, this is my biological mother.
She had no choice but to abandon me back then. Now that she has a successful career, she has always felt guilty about me. Now that she has finally found me and wants me to leave with her, she will make up for it.
But I can't accept it. For so many years, the only relative in my heart is Tao Ye. Without him, I would have died that winter. Now that he is old, no matter how much money I give, I can't abandon him.
The woman finally compromised. She pulled me and said, "It's okay if you don't want to leave. How about we just interact with each other as family members?"
I thought she was really ridiculous. When she threw me in the snow, why? Don't you think that I am her relative?
I looked at the woman coldly and said, "Go away and never appear in my life again. I am living a good life now. I hope you won't disturb me. This is the best compensation for me."
Woman He said I had no conscience, and I really never came here again.
Haha, I didn’t ask for it in the first place.
I had a hard time for a long time in the future, but Tao Ye's care and encouragement gave me inexhaustible motivation.
Gradually, my career began to go smoothly.
finally met his beloved at the age of 27. This time Tao Ye was very satisfied with him and happily handed me into his hands.
Tao Ye really knows how to look at people. He is very motivated and considerate of me. I am very happy.
Tao Ya is getting old, and I have always been worried about him living alone, but every time I asked him to live with us, he always said: "Dad is okay, so I won't cause you any trouble. Just be nice, dad."
Not long after, what I was worried about happened. Late one night, I received a call from Tao Ye, but there was a woman's voice on the phone. The woman said, "Your dad has had a stroke and is in the hospital. He wants to see you."
I hurriedly ran to In the hospital, on the bed, Tao Ye was covered with white hair and his face was covered with deep wrinkles. It made me feel heartbroken and choked several times, but Tao Ye smiled hard and made me feel sad, saying that he was nothing. It's okay, it's not serious.
At present, Tao Ye’s condition has indeed recovered a lot.
After he was discharged from the hospital, he asked me to take Tao Ye over to live with me, but as always, he refused to do anything.
He said: "I get along very well with Aunt Wang. She takes care of me, so don't worry!"
Indeed, in recent days, although I have been by Tao Ye's side, Aunt Wang has done many things. I was very moved by her thoughtfulness.
Tao Ye also said: "I want to marry your Aunt Wang and hold a wedding. I don't know if I will be laughed at at this age."
"It's just a joke. Leave it to me, dad. Don't worry." , The wedding will be a glorious one for you and Aunt Wang," I said, patting my chest.
Under my control, I held a wedding ceremony for Tao Ye and Aunt Wang.
The training that day was very handsome, very handsome...
In my heart, he is my biological father. He has devoted half his life to me. This marriage seems to be the only thing I can do for him.
Now, I have nothing to ask for, I just hope that this man who has devoted half his life to me can spend a peaceful, happy and satisfactory old age in the future!
