leaning on bamboo at sunset

After graduation, the four of them got together for a meeting.

When taking the seat, Xu Xiaoming stood next to Qi Mu and said, "Brother Mu, let's sit together!"

Qi Mu didn't know what was going on with him again: "Why?" He didn't want to sit next to him, this guy never had a quiet moment, he danced and danced after a meal, leaning on him was equivalent to picking up leftovers.

Xu Xiaoming refused to let him go, he only heard him say sourly: "They are the first and second masters in the grade, what are we? Don't make people hate you."

Qi Mu looked down on him very much: "Only your little talent."

Xu Xiaoming refused to accept: "They are both good brothers, why are they flying into the sky while we are still climbing!"

Qi Mu said angrily, "Then what were you doing when they were reviewing the papers?"

Xu Xiaoming: "..." Playing games and brushing anime to flirt with girls, anyway, except for studying, everything else has been done!

Xu Xiaoming was still not reconciled: "Brother Mu, why do you always speak for them! We are the same!"

Qi Mu gave him a stick: "You're on your own, I don't want to be with you." After that, he sat down next to Yin Xiuzhu.

Xu Xiaoming was so angry that his liver hurt, he hugged himself and cried: "You only like Yin Xiuzhu, you only love him, you don't love me at all!"

The three present: "..."

Xu Xiaoming is a showman, and the more he howls, the more joyful he is: "Your heart is full of Yin Xiuzhu, what am I? What am I? Hey, hey."

He was full of nonsense, but what he said made Yin Xiuzhu's heart itch, and he turned his head to look at Qi Mu.

Qi Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his hands were itchy, and he wanted to beat the chick.

Fang Junqi glanced at Xu Xiaoming, and sneered: "What are you, you don't have points? You're weird."

Xu Xiaoming: "..." Stop acting, domestic violence first!

The two of them fought first, and Qi Mu couldn't make a move, and in the end he had to argue: "Okay, okay, what's the noise like?"

Xu Xiaoming was so angry that his liver ached, he said to Qi Mu: "Brother Mu, come and judge, I will protect this fat man, and when he can bear it, he will turn around and bully me, he is really a white-eyed wolf!"

Qi Mu said in his heart: "It's not that you are so cheap and love to flirt!"

Fang Junqi seemed to be in a bad mood, and drank his drink in silence without anyone looking at him.

At this time Yin Xiuzhu actually spoke, he asked Xu Xiaoming: "Are you going abroad?"

One sentence stopped Xu Xiaoming, and he was as quiet as a chicken every minute.

Qi Mu asked in surprise, "Is it settled?"

Xu Xiaoming froze instantly, biting the straw in his mouth: "I'm just a little cabbage, no one loves me."

Qi Mu: "Speak human words."

Xu Xiaoming cried and said: "My father is a tyrant, dictator, and Hitler! I told him that I would not go abroad, but he still went through the formalities without telling me!"

Qi Mu was so curious that he turned to Yin Xiuzhu: "How do you know?"

Yin Xiuzhu said: "I met Uncle Xu yesterday, and I started talking about it during the chat."

Qi Mu also feels sorry for Xu Xiaoming, this kid is a jerk, his father doesn't tell him about it with others.

Xu Xiaoming said dejectedly, "I don't want to go abroad either, but I..."

He loves his father.Xu Xiangyou is almost 60 years old. Although he has a child in the middle age and loves Xu Xiaoming very much, it is also a feudal patriarchal type of love.He can allow Xiao Ming to do whatever he wants with trivial matters, and he doesn't force him to be more successful, but some major matters are decided directly over Xu Xiaoming, without asking his opinion at all.

Qi Mu also understands his family's situation. It's no wonder that Xu Xiaoming's brother Xu Shengyuan quarrels with his father all day long. With such a controlling and rigid father, if he doesn't resist, he will only lose his freedom.

Xu Xiaoming counts fleas, he used to be happy to jump around, but he was slapped to death as soon as he got down to business.

Xu Xiaoming said: "My grades in the senior high school entrance examination are too bad, my dad doesn't want me to embarrass myself in the country."

No wonder he had such a big opinion on Yin Xiuzhu and Fang Junqi today. He didn't care about scores in the past, but he was probably stimulated today.If his grades are good, he doesn't need to go abroad, and he doesn't need to part with his friends, let alone go to a completely strange place alone.

Seeing him like this, Qi Mu felt unhappy, and asked, "Is there really no other way?"

"What can I do?" Xu Xiaoming looked at Qi Mu, "I wish I had a father like Uncle Dashan!"

Qi Mu: "..." Dashan is another extreme, a weirdo who still mocks his son in the morning of the high school entrance examination!

Fang Junqi, who had been silent all this time, said, "Stop talking about this, you still want to leave on your own."

Xu Xiaoming exploded immediately: "Why do I want to leave by myself!"

Fang Junqi, who "didn't know as much as him" most of the time on weekdays, was very angry today: "If you don't want to leave, go and tell Uncle Xu. If you don't say anything, why are you still crying hypocritically here!"

Xu Xiaoming said: "Don't you know my dad's temper? Will it work if I say it? My brother can't even tell him, so can I go!"

"You son of a bitch!" Fang Junqi is not as fierce as Xu Xiaoming at his age, "You are a coward who dare not even try!"

Xu Xiaoming's face turned red with anger, he glared at Fang Junqi: "You fucking tell me again!"

Fang Junqi also stared at him: "You can say it ten thousand times, coward, coward, worthless..."

With a snap, Xu Xiaoming slapped him.

Qi Mu saw that he was wrong, so he stood up and grabbed Xu Xiaoming's arm: "Okay, okay." In the past, the two often fought, as long as a man can move his fist, a slap is enough.But Fang Junqi also ate gunpowder today, and what he said was too ugly.

Fang Junqi pushed away the chair, stood up and said, "I'll go back first." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Xu Xiaoming scolded him: "Get out! I don't want to see you again in my life!"

Fang Junqi stopped, but then took bigger steps and walked faster.

Xu Xiaoming was mad, his eyes were red.

Qi Mu winked at Yin Xiuzhu, Yin Xiuzhu nodded, got up and followed.

Qi Mu held Xu Xiaoming down and said, "Don't say such harsh words."

Has Xu Xiaoming ever been wronged like this?His whole body was about to explode with anger, his heart, liver and lungs were on fire, and he lost all reason: "Listen, is he speaking human language!"

Qi Mu comforted him: "Fang Junqi is wrong, but he is in a bad mood, so..."

"Is he in a bad mood?" Xu Xiaoming exploded even more, "He got the second place in the school and is still in a bad mood? Then I, the bottom one, should die!"

Qi Mu paused and said, "He doesn't want you to leave."

It’s okay if I don’t mention this, but when Xu Xiaoming is mentioned, he is even more aggrieved and crazy, and he can’t stop crying: "Do I want to go? Am I willing to go abroad? Do I want to leave you and go to a place where I am not familiar? My English is not good enough. His mother can get fifty points in the test, how will I live when I go abroad?"

Qi Mu also felt very uncomfortable, not to mention their friendship for more than ten years, even his junior high school classmates who had just separated due to graduation were full of reluctance.

Not to mention going abroad. Dong Jisheng is a living example. After graduating from elementary school, he went to the United States. It would be nice to come back for a few days a year.

Xu Xiaoming didn't have much face at Qi Mu's side anymore, and he couldn't hold back his tears as soon as they burst out, wishing to howl out all his grievances: "What can I do? My father and my brother quarrel every day, and they will fight with each other whenever they meet. Like an enemy! My dad is not in good health, and after arguing with my brother, his heart hurts all night. He is not young anymore. He worked day and night in the early years, and now he is back. I think he is like that, so what? Dare to make him angry!"

"Fang Junqi said that I have no guts, but that is my father, how can I have the guts with him? If he gets mad at me, I will hate myself to death!"

Qi Mu heard mixed emotions, he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Uncle Xu is still in good health."

Xu Xiaoming burst into tears, and said everything that was on his mind like a bamboo bean: "Yes, I am not up to date, I know Fang Junqi looks down on me now, he is so good, he studies well, he is tall, and he is also handsome , And someone confessed to him! How can he think highly of me? I am useless, I am useless, I can't learn well, and I can't be the master of my own affairs."

Qi Mu frowned and said, "Don't say that."

Xu Xiaoming felt extremely uncomfortable: "He really looks down on me, and it has become more and more different since I entered junior high school."

Qi Mu paused and said, "You should know something about his family."

Xu Xiaoming was speechless.

Qi Mu said: "Fang Junqi is not easy, he also wants to be like you, but the situation in his family...he has to stand up by himself. No matter what Uncle Xu does, it is for your own good. Where is Fang Junqi's father? If someone breaks a heart into several shares, how much can he give to Fang Junqi? If he plays like you, what will he do in the future?"

Xu Xiaoming knew that Fang's family was not going well in the past few years, but he didn't know much.The main reason is that Xu Xiangyou has a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and never brought these matters to the family. Xu Xiaoming asked Fang Junqi, and Fang Junqi also knew that Xu Xiaoming could not help.

Xu Xiaoming was originally the most childish of the four of them, so he didn't expect that.

Qi Mu said again: "Don't be angry with him, he is the one who is most reluctant to let you go."

But outside, Yin Xiuzhu also followed Fang Junqi, and he asked, "Didn't you drive him away like this?"

His words made Fang Junqi stop, and he frowned and said, "No matter what I say, he will go if he should."

Yin Xiuzhu said: "Just let him go away like this, and you will never see each other in the future?"

Fang Junqi was very concerned, he and Xu Xiaoming's relationship was almost like a brother's since they played together since they were young.It is said that flesh and blood are connected, which is tantamount to cutting flesh and bones.

Fang Junqi pursed his lips, speechless.

Yin Xiuzhu said again: "Arguing is useless, since you don't want him to go, then keep him."

Fang Junqi looked at him: "Why stay?"

Yin Xiuzhu gave him an idea.Fang Junqi was taken aback for a moment, and once again realized the gap between them and Yin Xiuzhu.

At the same age of 16, Yin Xiuzhu never seems to be impulsive, and has always been calm like an adult who sees through everything.

Fang Junqi breathed out and said, "I was too impulsive."

Yin Xiuzhu said: "Go back."

Fang Junqi came back, but Xu Xiaoming was still aggrieved: "...that's no wonder, he just looks down on me!"

Fang Junqi: "..."

Xu Xiaoming didn't know that he was back, so he said bitterly: "I know, if I stand with him, I will dirty the face of this top student!"

Fang Junqi said coldly, "Then you should study hard."

Xu Xiaoming was taken aback for a moment, then turned around abruptly.

Fang Junqi had just finished arguing with him, and came back after walking three steps, his face was a little uneasy, and he said in a muffled voice, "Do you want to go abroad?"

Although Xu Xiaoming hated him to the point of itch, but thinking of what Qi Mu said, and thinking of the bear of Fang's family, he didn't want to provoke him any more: "No!"

Fang Junqi said: "Then you go back and tell your father that you don't want to go abroad."

Xu Xiaoming exploded again: "If my mother dares to say it, I..." Is there any need for you to call me a coward!

Fang Junqi interrupted him and said, "Can you grow your brains? Who told you to go to Uncle Xu to piss you off? You go back and talk about Dong Jisheng's overseas affairs, and talk about it in a messy way, and then promise Uncle Xu that you will be a good student after high school." Study hard, and if you are at the bottom of the final exam, you will take the initiative to go abroad!"

Xu Xiaoming was stunned, apparently unable to react.

As soon as Qi Mu heard it, he knew that Yin Xiuzhu's idea was probably [-]% of it. He praised it in his heart, and helped him: "Remember to tell Uncle Xu about the legality of big mamas abroad."

Xu Xiaoming recalled it: "But...but if I don't do well in the high school exam."

Fang Junqi rolled his eyes at him: "Can you be a little promising?"

Xu Xiaoji exploded again: "You fucking look down on me!"

"What's wrong with me looking down on you? Who do you want to look down on you with those little scores in the test every day?"

Xu Xiaoming looked at Qi Mu, and said with grief and indignation: "Brother Mu, look, he is..."

Qi Mu was the first and the second eldest, and just about to talk about Fang Junqi, Fang Junqi actually said: "I will give you extra lessons when you go to high school, if you still fail in the exam, go abroad and harm others, don't embarrass yourself at home! "

Apparently Fang Junqi knows Xu Xiaoji better than Qi Mu, and this aggressive method is so fast and ruthless that Xiaoji's classmate is hooked in an instant: "Fuck, I don't want to be in the top... the top twenty, from now on I will be named after you, a fat man!" !"

Fang Junqi has gradually revealed his vicious nature: "Our surname Fang can't afford you, you useless chicken."

Xu Xiaoming: "!!!"

"My uncle Fang Junqi!" Xu Xiaoming pounced on him and twisted into a ball with him.

Qi Mu heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that the two had "reconciled".

Later Xu Xiaoming really stayed in the country.Xu Xiangyou wanted to send him abroad, but he still hoped that Xiaoming would have a better future. He was still a boy at fifteen or sixteen, so it was no wonder that Xu Xiangyou gave him advice on everything.

This was the first time that Xu Xiaoming expressed his thoughts, and he made a promise with reason and evidence. It was too late for Xu Xiangyou to be pleased, so why would he be angry?

He even praised him: "Xiao Ming is really sensible, much better than that bastard of your brother!"

Xu Xiaoming remembered what Qi Mu had said to him a long time ago.At that time he said that his brother and his father had quarreled so much that they were about to sever the relationship between father and son. Qi Mu said: That's why you have to go home more often.

At that time he understood something, but not all, but now he understood it all at once.

The relationship between his father and his brother is stiff and unable to communicate, so he should go home more often to comfort his father, relieve his brother, and ease the relationship between them.

He can't go abroad, he can't leave, he has to stay here and watch these two cross-eyed people!

So...Xu Xiaoming pasted the word "struggle" on his forehead.

Isn't it the top twenty, fight!What Xiaopang can do, why can't he do it!

Because Xu Xiaoming has become a fighting chicken, Qi Mu is also embarrassed to go out for a while during the summer vacation.

Yin Xiuzhu said to him: "If you want to go out, go and play for a few days, and I will accompany you."

"Forget it." Qi Mu said, "You're so busy." He didn't know whether it was Yin Zhenggong's big heart or Yin Xiuzhu's ability, but he actually asked Yin Xiuzhu to work as his assistant during the summer vacation.

Yin Xiuzhu is also really capable, and he does everything in an orderly manner, but he is a little busy...

Yin Xiuzhu said: "It's okay, I can walk away."

Qi Mu shook his head and said, "There's nothing else I want to go, I'll preview my homework in advance."

Yin Xiuzhu had a thought: "Why don't you come to my house at night and I'll help you with tutoring?"

Qi Mu doesn't like to study, but even Xu Xiaoji is not at the bottom of the list, and it doesn't make sense for him to always fall behind, so he said, "Okay, I'll go to your house!"

As soon as he arrived at Yin's house at night, Qi Mu started playing with Guigui first.

The kitten grows fast, and now it has become an elegant little black fat, patrolling Yin's house all day long, very domineering.

Qi Mu picked it up and snorted, "Ghost, you should lose weight." It's so heavy, it's probably not just a blacked-out orange cat!

Yin Xiuzhu said: "In addition to eating and sleeping, can it not be fat?"

Qi Mu liked to see Yin Xiuzhu get close to Guigui, and joked: "Did you hear that? Little Fat Cat, your brother despises you."

This sentence of your brother made Yin Xiuzhu take a look at him.

Qi Mu felt guilty, regretting which pot he didn't open and which pot he carried.

Yin Xiuzhu's mouth was parched, knowing that it would be more uncomfortable to feel refreshed, but he couldn't help but said: "I got the score you said."

Qi Mu: "..."

Yin Xiuzhu didn't force him, and asked again: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Qi Mu said: "Anything is fine."

Yin Xiuzhu thought for a while and said, "Then you watch TV for a while, then I'll call you."

Qi Mu nodded, and sat on the sofa with Guigui in his arms. Seeing that Yin Xiuzhu had left, he rubbed Guigui's forehead and said, "What should I do? From now on, your brother will also be my brother."

Guigui rubbed his palm and let out a lazy "meow".

Qi Mu stared at the TV, opened his mouth tentatively, and didn't let out the word "brother" for a long while... This is too difficult, this word is really too difficult!

But what you promised must be done, Qi Mu hugged Guigui tightly and practiced hard.Fortunately, the TV is not perfect, otherwise the screen will be black and the computer will freeze, and I am too lazy to watch this dumb mouth.

What Qi Mu never expected was that Yin Xiuzhu actually made a chocolate cake.

It was about six or seven inches long, with hot chocolate dripping from it, and Qi Baba's legs went limp just by the smell.

"You..." Qi Mu didn't know what to say.

Yin Xiuzhu said: "The cake embryos were made in the morning, and they have just been baked, so the taste should be okay."

Qi Mu's saliva was almost drooling: How could it be just okay?

"You are too good!" Qi Mu convinced, "Can you do this?"

Yin Xiuzhu said: "It can't be eaten as a meal."

Qi Mu said anxiously: "I'll just eat two pieces and put one on the table."

Yin Xiuzhu cut a small piece for him, Qi Mu tasted it, and his whole body melted: "It's delicious!"

Yin Xiuzhu smiled and said, "As long as it is chocolate, you will love it."

"No, this is really delicious, and the taste is so good!" Chocolate is also a particular thing, right? The cocoa beans are different, and the taste is very different.

Yin Xiuzhu cut another small piece for him: "Okay, I'll eat the rest after dinner."

How could Qi Mu be willing to part with it? He quickly said, "Eat another piece, just one piece."

Yin Xiuzhu was unmoved: "You must keep your word."

After that, he returned to the kitchen with the cake, Qi Mu got anxious and called him: "Yin..."

As soon as a word came out, he paused and changed his words, "Brother..."

Yin Xiuzhu: "..."

Qi Mu whispered: "I still want to eat."
