Hear the sound of flowers blooming in my heart

Luo Yanze hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and refused: "Xiyue, please don't embarrass me."

Seeing that Luo Yanze was not falling for it, Xia Xiyue immediately put away her smile, raised her eyebrows, and moved the glass of beer she had just poured away, refusing to give it to him.

This young lady has a pretty bad temper.

Luo Yanze was amused. After laughing for a while, Luo Yanze said, "I can't tell you what Brother Ye is doing, but I can tell you some things about Brother Ye. Is that okay?"

Luo Yanze stared at Xia Xiyue, observing her reaction.

Well, it's better than knowing nothing.

Knowing a little is better.

Xia Xiyue sat up straight and listened attentively.

Luo Yanze lit a cigarette, his expression suddenly became serious: "Speaking of Brother Ye, it's a long story. Since you are one of us, I will tell you, but what I say may not be completely accurate. Because Brother Ye didn't tell us a lot. You know, he is a taciturn person, who keeps everything to himself. I will tell you everything I know, but don't tell Brother Ye that it was me who said it. Otherwise, Brother Ye will definitely destroy me."

Xia Xiyue quickly nodded and promised: "Don't worry, I won't betray you."

Luo Yanze held the cigarette between his hands, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp, as if to cheer himself up: "Until Ye Ge was 8 years old, Aunt Xiao, that is, Xiao Lingling, raised him. To say raised means that he had food to eat and didn't starve to death. You may have seen his mother's character. She basically didn't care about Ye Ge and the second sister. After he was 8 years old, Xiao Lingling completely ignored Ye Ge and the second sister, and completely let them go, leaving them to fend for themselves. At that time, Ye Ge was 8 years old and the second sister was only 3 years old, both of them were children. I remember that I occasionally acted like a spoiled child to my parents at that time, but Ye Ge had been forced to become an adult by then. His mother would disappear for a long time once she went out. Ye Ge went to school while taking care of the second sister. You also know that the second sister was like that when she was born, and the 8-year-old Ye Ge took care of the 3-year-old disabled sister. How difficult it must be. An 8-year-old child was forced to become an adult. 8 years old, so young! I was still a baby, and I had to carry a family."

Luo Yanze spoke indignantly while Xia Xiyue listened blankly.

Luo Yanze took another long puff of his cigarette: "When Brother Ye first started looking for a job, no one wanted him. He was 8 years old, too young, and was considered a child laborer. It is illegal to employ child laborers. Which boss would dare to hire him? Later, a restaurant owner took him in. He served dishes, washed vegetables, cut vegetables, washed dishes, cleaned the house, and so on. Anyway, he did all the dirty and tiring work. I remember that I often saw Brother Ye with many injuries on his hands. Some were cut from cutting vegetables, and some were scratches. The most serious one was when he was chopping chicken nuggets, and he almost chopped off a finger. Damn, it hurts just looking at it. 300 yuan a month, meals are provided in the restaurant. He always packed some for his second sister. In this way, the two brothers and sisters could barely fill their stomachs. But, damn, I didn't expect that the damn boss was so cruel and didn't pay Brother Ye. Brother Ye worked there for several months in vain."

The more Luo Yanze spoke, the angrier he became, and the more Xia Xiyue listened, the darker her eyes became.

Luo Yanze paused for a moment, calmed down, and continued, "Later, Brother Ye went to another restaurant. The boss was kind-hearted and not only let him pack food to take home every day, but also paid him on time. But the good times didn't last long, and the restaurant closed down. You also know the boss of that restaurant, Lao Yu. Lao Yu later became poor and destitute. Brother Ye took him to open a small restaurant at home two years ago. First, it was another way to make money, and second, it gave Lao Yu a home, which was also a way to repay his kindness of taking him in.

Brother Ye is a very loyal person. His character is beyond reproach. Look at me, I was bullied at school. If Brother Ye hadn't come forward to protect me, I would have been beaten to death.

And Jiang Jun, did you see Jiang Jun's eyes? There is a birthmark on one eye, a big birthmark. He has been laughed at since he was a child. He was teased like a monster. I remember when I was in the second grade of junior high school, a few idiots in the class filled Jiang Jun's bowl with shit. Jiang Jun was so angry that he cried. Those people took the bowl and poured it on Jiang Jun. Isn't this a fucking insult? A bunch of fucking beasts.

Brother Ye went up and dumped the bowl of shit on the head of the stupid boss, and knocked him down with a few punches. Later, Jiang Jun followed Brother Ye wherever he went, and gradually no one dared to bully him anymore.

Lin Hao's family is poor, and he couldn't afford the school fees every time. A bunch of idiots in the class laughed at him and said he was poor. You know, men love face, and after being laughed at so much, Lin Hao didn't want to live anymore. One day after school, Lin Hao jumped into the river. It was Brother Ye who saw him and jumped in to save him. It was winter, and the water looked cold. Brother Ye jumped in to save him without hesitation. Later, every time there was a fee to pay, Brother Ye would take the initiative to help Lin Hao pay, saying that Lin Hao would owe it first and pay it back when he made money in the future, but we all know that the reason why Brother Ye said that was just to make Lin Hao feel better, and he never thought of asking him to pay it back.

There are so many good things that Ye Ge has done. As far as I know, I can't finish telling you all the good things even if I tell you for days and nights. When we went out to wander around, he would put some money in the broken pot when he saw beggars. It was obvious that he had worked hard to make money, but he still wanted to help others.

The reason why we brothers follow Brother Ye so wholeheartedly is that we really admire and worship him. Let me tell you, if Brother Ye wasn't tied down by this family, he would definitely be a big shot, absolutely."

When he got excited, Luo Yanze drank directly from the bottle. After a few gulps, he continued, "Xiyue, my brain isn't very useful, and I'm not good at Chinese, so what I said might be a little messy. I just say whatever comes to mind. Just listen to it."

Xia Xiyue encouraged: "It's okay, I understand. You speak very well."

Hearing Xiyue's affirmation, Luo Yanze smiled innocently and continued, "Do you know why people in our school and even the county respectfully call him Brother Ye? As I said just now, his character is one aspect. Another aspect is that many people are afraid of him.

Brother Ye is very cruel, not only to others, but also to himself. I remember when I was about to graduate from elementary school, we went home one time and saw a man grabbing Xiao Lingling's hair on the side of the road and beating her viciously. Brother Ye rushed over and punched and kicked the man. It stands to reason that when a child fights a man, the man must win, but Brother Ye actually won. Brother Ye beat the man to the ground with his teeth knocked out and he screamed like a ghost. Maybe he was extremely angry. After all, his mother was beaten in the street, and as a son, he had to stand up for her no matter what. What's more, the neighbors were already pointing fingers at their family behind them.

Speaking of Xiao Lingling, ah, how can I say it, we don't like her, but she is Ye Ge's mother, so we can only love her and call her Aunt Xiao. But she is really not good to Ye Ge and Second Sister. Why is Ye Ge under so much pressure? Part of the reason comes from his mother. His mother spends money lavishly, and asks Ye Ge for money when she has no money. Ye Ge himself is still a child, working everywhere to make money, and she doesn't feel sorry for Ye Ge at all. Instead, she always blames Ye Ge for not giving her enough money. Ye Ge may have no choice. Although he is angry and often quarrels with her, she is his biological mother after all, and he can't ignore it no matter what. Now Second Sister's illness is also a big expense. In addition..."

Luo Yanze glanced at Xia Xiyue quietly, moved his mouth twice, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Xia Xiyue seemed to see through his thoughts and encouraged him, "Go ahead, it's okay. Just tell me what you want to say."

Luo Yanze nodded and continued, "Plus now that you're here. Brother Ye knows that you're a spoiled young lady in Jingbei, and he doesn't want you to live in such a shabby way in his house. Besides, men always care about their reputation. They always want to give the best to their family, no matter how tired or hard it is for them. Speaking of this, Xiyue, I have to say a few words for Brother Ye. He has a good heart, but sometimes his words don't express what he means. Do you understand? He means it for your own good, but when he says it out loud, it becomes distorted. He's a bit mean. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

Luo Yanze drank from the bottle again, and the bottle of beer was empty in an instant. He opened the second bottle and took a sip. After organizing his thoughts, he continued, "Look at how messy I am. When I talk about Brother Ye, my mind is also in a mess, so I talk nonsense everywhere. Just listen to it, and ask me if you don't understand anything."

Xia Xiyue nodded.
