Hanyu

The new year flies by quickly.

Ming Yusheng only felt that the time for rest was getting less and less. He didn't even have a few days off for the Spring Festival, and he was full of homework every day, and then he went back to school in a blink of an eye.

The start of school again will be Ming Yusheng's last semester in junior high school.

In the monthly exams in March and April, Ming Yusheng performed very well, and he has already ranked among the top ten in his grade.

Teacher Bai was very pleased about this: Although this child can choke him to death every time he chats, he is really hardworking in his studies.When he first transferred to another school, Ming Yusheng struggled with his lessons, and he noticed it, but he didn't expect this little guy to catch up with all his strength.

After the parent meeting, Teacher Bai smiled and said to Wu Tao: "Ming Yusheng is very serious about his studies. If he keeps doing this, his grades in the high school entrance examination should be quite good. I don't know what high school Ming Yusheng wants to go to. As a teacher, I can also help He will refer to it."

Wu Tao smiled and glanced at the child standing quietly beside him, feeling a strong sense of pride in his heart. "I don't know about it yet. You tell the teacher what school you want to go to."

"The High School Attached to X University."

Teacher Bai's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "If you have ambition, then you have to keep working hard, Ming Yusheng. The High School Attached to X University has three places in our school. As long as you can enter the top three in your grade, you will be fine."

"En." Ming Yusheng nodded silently.

The parent-teacher meeting was over, it was almost six o'clock, and it was already dark, Wu Tao was going to send Ming Yusheng home as usual.On this day, Feng Yan went on a trip again and hasn't returned yet, so Wu Tao came to hold the parents' meeting.

Just as Wu Tao started the car, he was still talking to Ming Yusheng when Li Tang called.

"Taozi! Where are you now?"

"I have something to do outside now, what's the matter?" Wu Tao held his phone between his hands, staring at the outside of the car and turned around.The road is a bit narrow, and there are a lot of people coming to the family meeting today, so there are too many cars and people, and it is difficult to turn around.

Li Tang scolded angrily on the phone: "Taozi, you bastard who forgets friends! I told you three days ago that today is my birthday, but you still forgot about it!"

Wu Tao was not angry when he was scolded, and said with a smile, "Lawyer Li, please be more civilized."

"Civilized fart! We are in Hongding now, you can't come if you say a word!"

Wu Tao sighed helplessly, took away the phone and asked Ming Yusheng next to him. "How about having a meal with me? A friend's birthday. Anyway, we are going to find a place to eat now."

Ming Yusheng only cares about one question: "Where to eat?"

"Hong Ding."

This hotel is well-known in the city, Ming Yusheng nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright then, I'll come right away, and I'll bring someone with me, you can add more chairs." After hanging up the phone, Wu Tao's car slipped and turned his head again.

Wu Tao pushed open the door, and Li Tang greeted him with a punch. "Finally I have invited you, the great Buddha." He turned around and looked behind him with a smile. "People, people, let me see."

Wu Tao pushed him away with a slap, and brought the person behind him back. "My younger brother, Ming Yusheng."

In the box, several people exchanged glances and laughed.Only Xiang Jinghua looked at Ming Yusheng several times suspiciously, and asked Li Tang in a low voice, "Why does this kid look familiar?"

Li Tangbai glanced at him and ignored him.

He greeted with a smile: "Come in, come in, it's called Shengsheng. I'll go, the child is growing really tall now." Then he recruited the waiter waiting in the private room: "Go, say that we can start serving the food."

Not many people came, apart from Xiang Jinghua, Wu Tao, and Ming Yusheng, there were four other people.Li Tang didn't want to make things difficult for him on his birthday, and all the people he invited here were close friends.

After taking their seats, several people continued to chat.

"It's Mr. Li's 27th birthday today, how does it feel to be one year older?" one person teased.

Li Tang picked up a peanut that had just been placed on the plate, and threw it into his mouth. "I don't think so. Last night I had a little guy on the bed, and I didn't go to bed until eight o'clock this morning. Do you think I'm old?"

Next to him, Wu Tao kicked him under the table. "Lawyer Li, please note that there are still minors here."

Li Tang glanced at Ming Yusheng next to him who was drinking water silently from a cup, snorted, and stopped talking.

After a while, the dishes came to the table one after another, and the few people continued to drink and eat, chatting about the world, but they talked more about "back then".

"Do you still remember the fight that Taozi had with us back then? I still remember it clearly now. This kid was so ruthless back then, he was so fucking ruthless!" The face of one of them was already slightly red from drinking. Talk with your mouth.

Xiang Jinghua laughed. "Remember, it wasn't your fault. I said back then that you were not allowed to touch the students. In the end, you went to grab money from the students of No. [-] Middle School. After grabbing a few sums, you became addicted. I didn't expect to meet Taozi in the end." This iron plate!"

That person, Chi Jian also laughed. "Who would have thought that Taozi was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, and he was still very gentle. Who would have known that he was smiling at us one second, and then picked up a roadside stone and smashed it on my head the next second?" superior."

Chi Jian plucked the hair on his forehead and let Ming Yusheng look at it. "Look, do you see the scar? This is what your brother smashed back then."

Although it has been nearly ten years, the scar is still very hideous.Ming Yusheng's eyes were also surprised, one can imagine how embarrassed Chi Jian was back then.

Wu Tao listened with a smile and didn't interrupt. He just ate by himself while adding vegetables to Ming Yusheng.

Another person next to him smiled and said: "It's been so long ago, you are still here to break your broken calendar. At that time, you were knocked out by a brick, and as a result, I carried you back to your old den with blood on your back. He was also scolded by Brother Da Hua."

Chi Jian waved her hands with her tongue out. "You kid knows what a fart! I'm so happy today! I, I, I..." He slapped the table drunkenly.

"Usually, I'm too old to say this, but I really want to say it today! Brother Dahua! Brother Dahua, I'll toast you first!" After finishing speaking, he didn't wait to respond to Jinghua, so he choked himself wine in glass.

"I am really grateful to you in this life, Brother Dahua! Back then, we were a group of homeless children on the street. If you, Brother Dahua, were willing to take us to hang out, we wouldn't know which street we would have died in! It was you who took us to eat After taking the first bite of food, I also confessed Li Tang, a college student among us! Brother, you don’t know, I, woo woo... I knew that Li Tang went to college, and I felt so damn happy that I died That’s enough! What kind of a bunch of people are we! There’s still a college student coming out!”

Li Tang stared at the crying Chi Jian across the table with black lines all over his face. "Can you fucking shut up, it's my birthday today, and you're wailing in mourning here."

"Coax!" The others at the table laughed, but the brothers who have been around for more than ten years also know that Chi Jian likes to vent his emotions when he gets drunk.

Xiang Jinghua patted his shoulder with a smile. "Hey, everyone is brother who cares about shit, and Lao Chi is just happy."

Chi Jian turned a deaf ear to Li Tang's words, refilled his glass of wine, and took another sip in Wu Tao's direction. "Taozi, I'm toasting you with this second glass of wine! Although you opened my head when we met for the first time, I am grateful to you! Your old man is a high-ranking official and has such a good background, but he didn't look down on us. , and made us rich with mud legs! I can now have a car and a house, get a wife and support a son, all because you think highly of us! I am grateful to you for the rest of my life!"

Wu Tao smiled slightly, raised his wine glass and motioned to him, and drank the wine in the glass.

This meal lasted for a long time, and it didn't land until almost nine o'clock.

Wu Tao picked up the clothes he took off while drinking and put them on. "Go and play, I will send Shengsheng back."

"What are you going back to, take it with you to play, isn't it Sunday tomorrow!" Li Tang leaned over and said.

Wu Tao pushed him away. "No, he still has a tutor to make up lessons tomorrow morning. He originally had lessons this afternoon, but he had a conflict with the parents' meeting. He has two lessons tomorrow. How can he have time to hang out with you?"

Pull Li Tang away from Jinghua. "That's fine. Then Taozi, send Shengsheng back first..."

"The delivery is over, you have to come over!" Li Tang shouted.

Wu Tao knew he couldn't avoid it, so he nodded. "Okay, you guys go first, I'll come later."

Then, Wu Tao pulled Ming Yusheng away.

Wu Tao sent Ming Yusheng to the gate of the community, and after a few instructions, he drove away.

Li Tang and his group opened a private room at the KTV they often go to. When Wu Tao went, the group of people had already been high.

Seeing him coming, Li Tang threw the microphone to Xiang Jinghua, and dragged Wu Tao to a corner to sit down alone.

"Taozi, what are you thinking?"

Wu Tao sat down and unbuttoned two buttons. Now that the weather is getting hotter, he was sweating all over after walking for a while. "What idea?"

Li Tang glared at him. "Don't play dumb. That little brother of yours is the kid we met half a year ago? Is he really your little brother? You haven't come out to play with us much these past six months. I don't know what you're busy with. I think you're busy abducting Has anyone gone?"

"My old man and his mother are often too busy to be seen. If I don't take time to take care of him, who will take care of him?"

Li Tang leaned closer to hear his words, and said disapprovingly, "Who are you lying to with these nonsense?"

Wu Tao smiled.

Among the flickering colored lights in the private room, something inexplicably flashed across Wu Tao's eyes.After being silent for a while, he said lightly: "I don't know either. Anyway, I don't want to let him go now, let's take a step and see."

Li Tang smoked a cigarette, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the back of Jinghua standing in front of the screen singing. "Let's think about it more. This child is still so young, and there will be big changes in the future. Don't say anything else, which of the two of you dominates the other, have you thought about this problem?"

Wu Tao was dumbfounded for two seconds, and when he realized it, he kicked Li Tang. "What bullshit are you talking about. I'm the one being oppressed?"

Li Tang looked at him with a smile. "Don't talk too early. I don't know which of the two of you will overwhelm the other! Seeing you like this, I know you will definitely not be willing!"

Wu Tao looked at him with a fake smile, and was about to stab him a few words, but Li Tang didn't wait for him to say anything, he got up and grabbed the microphone in Jinghua's hand, and went to sing.

"Tch!" Wu Tao had no choice but to swallow his breath, and was dragged away by Chi Jian and the others to play poker in a blink of an eye.
