In a small mile of the city, several classes are having a physical education class. The older children in the fifth grade are playing in twos and threes. The physical education teacher beckoned and said, "Come here—come here."

The children gathered together immediately, and the physical education teacher counted the number of people and said, "Are you all here?"

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, a girl said: "Meng Jun didn't come."

"Meng Jun?" The physical education teacher looked at the roster, "Where did he go?"

Several children looked at each other and said, "He doesn't like being with people, he should go somewhere else."

People are in the school, and there is nothing wrong with walking around, so the teacher didn't ask any more questions, and after a few words, he dismissed and let everyone go to play.

City No. [-] Middle School is an old school. Except for the new teaching buildings in the front in recent years, there are old houses in the back, and the few buildings behind the small garden are for teachers and family members who live nearby.

Although it is old, the environment is pleasant. Green ivy climbed all over the window walls. Meng Jun walked to the corner of the house, bent slightly and called, "Garfield?"

The big cat came out slowly from the grass and squatted at his feet.

"Why are you following me here again?" Meng Jun knelt down and scratched its neck, "I didn't bring anything to eat."

Garfield was "snoring".

The two masters and pets were next to the window of a family on the first floor. The glass window was opened a crack, and the sound of the TV in the living room came out.

"Then this short film is directed by director Su Yu, starring Zhang Qing, Zhu Na, Zhang Ningxuan, and Meng Liangren..."

As if hearing a familiar name, Meng Jun froze for a moment, then quickly turned his head, took two steps forward, and climbed over the window sill to see the close-up of the TV screen. Even though he hadn't seen it for two years, he still recognized it immediately.

Garfield didn't know what happened, he still rubbed his neck against the little master's pant leg.

Meng Jun rested his hands on the window sill, and watched the video clips on the TV without blinking.

After half a minute of editing, the screen turned to the advertisement, Meng Jun let go of his hand, stood there blankly for a while, lowered his eyes and planned to leave.

Suddenly his ears moved, he raised his head and looked at the unshaven adult in front of him.

He looked quiet, even a little dull, but he was very keen inside, and at a glance he concluded that this was the person who had been secretly following him a while ago.

It was also at the entrance of the hospital that time.

The man was taken aback by him, rubbed his hands, looked at the boy in front of him, showed a rather shabby smile, and said, "Meng...Meng Jun?"

The schedule is full of school classes and performing fitness specialties. Meng Liangren sneaks in and makes phone calls with Pan Tao to chat about Linchuan's current situation.

"Tell you." Pan Tao said furtively, "My brother, I seem to have someone to talk to."

Meng Liang said: "Aren't you dating girls too? This is the first time this year."

"No, no, no." Pan Tao shook his head violently, regardless of whether Meng Liangren could see it or not, "I was just playing for fun, but my brother, did you hear what I said clearly? Chu, yes, like, he looks like that , it is clearly..."

Young Master Pan, whose language skills were worrying, thought for a long time and came up with an adjective. "Obsessed."

"..." Meng Liangren couldn't help laughing, Pan Tao was still talking about his elder brother's various abnormalities recently, so he changed the topic: "I heard that the proprietress' father will be discharged from the hospital at the end of the month?"

"Oh, yes." Pan Tao said, "I haven't told you yet, the master is going to serve wine when he is discharged from the hospital, and the proprietress specially asked me to invite you to thank me in person."

Meng Liangren frowned and said, "I'm in Wanxi, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."

"But you helped this time, they are so simple, I don't thank you very much, I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep."

Meng Liangren thought for a while, and it seemed that Fang Hongjian's secretary called and asked him to come over to Linchuan, it should be at the end of the month.

"I'll try my best to come here, just to see how the old man is recovering."

On Friday, Meng Liangren got off the special plane after Fang Hongjian, and the reception staff waiting at the airport hurriedly greeted him.

Meng Liangren yawned with drooping eyelids. He slept late and took off early again, and he was still sleepy.

Fang Hongjian glanced at him. It was already early autumn, and the breeze brought a bit of coolness. He pulled up the boy's hood to cover it and said, "You go back first."

Meng Liangren raised his head slightly, glanced past the smiling men and women who were waiting beside him, and nodded: "Yeah."

After finishing speaking, she followed Yang Ning and left. The beautiful woman looked at his back, went up to him and said in a manly voice: "Mr. Fang..."

The next day was the day when the old master left the hospital to serve wine in the restaurant. Meng Liang changed into the clothes he should wear for the banquet and went with Pan Tao.

Standing at the door, the proprietress saw Meng Liangren from a distance, and opened her mouth to meet them, but she couldn't say a word, her eyes were red.

Pan Tao smiled and said, "Ma'am, good day, why are you crying?"

Meng Liangren contacted Ye Hui to help, and Pan Tao also contributed a lot. He looked like he could only have fun, but he acted like a brother and a father.

The proprietress choked up, wiped her tears, and said with a smile, "Oh, happy, come in quickly."

She looked at Meng Liangren, a little stunned, touched the wet corners of her eyes, and let them in with a smile.

Apart from Meng Liangren and Pan Tao, regular customers who had raised money for the old man's surgery, the proprietress and her husband greeted them one by one.

When everyone asked about the master, the proprietress smiled and said, "It's in the back kitchen. Today, his grandson cooks for everyone, so he can't rest assured. He is watching in the kitchen."

Everyone heard that the master chef was able to enter the kitchen, and they thought they were back to normal, so they drank wine with peace of mind and said something like "there must be a future blessing", and the dinner was very harmonious.

Meng Liangren received two glasses of wine from the proprietress, and seeing that everyone in the lobby was enjoying themselves, he got up secretly, walked to the door of the back kitchen, and looked inside.

The kitchen is very large, and all the kitchen utensils are neat and clean. A few people who look like apprentices are helping each other. A simple-looking young man is holding a pot in front of the stove. There is a big wooden chair next to the counter, and an old man with a serious expression is sitting. , with his hands on the crutches, staring at the young man's tricks.

Meng Liangren watched quietly at the door, feeling that he was like an old general, strategizing and controlling the overall situation in the kitchen.

The old man was very keen and turned to look at him.

Meng Liangren hastily raised his hand to signal that he was disturbing, and withdrew and returned to the lobby.

On the way back, Pan Tao drove the car by himself and asked him, "Do you want to stay a few more days this time?"

Meng Liang said humanely: "Look at Uncle Fang's arrangement...should be able to stay for two more days."

Pan Tao snorted and said, "Fortunately, you will be eighteen next semester, and no one will care where you go then."

Meng Liangren smiled and said, "Yeah." While talking, the phone rang, and he picked it up, but it was an unexpected person, Meng Xuan.

"sister?"

"uh-huh."

"……What's up?"

"I heard from my brother that you are back." Meng Xuan lay on the small tea table, his crystal nails gleaming in the sun, "Still living at Fang's house?"

"Yes."

Meng Xuan curled his lips and said, "Give me your address."

"what happened?"

"Aunt Gui sent something back last week, and it's still in your room, just in time to send it to you."

Meng Liangren froze for a moment, then said, "Okay." He gave a list of addresses.

Meng Xuan wrote on a post-it note and said, "Okay, that's it. Uh...it's over."

"okay."

Meng Xuan opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, hung up depressedly, put his phone on the table and thought, why is she also my sister, can't you find something to talk about when you call, it's cute, cute.

She casually stuffed the post-it note into the small notebook on the coffee table, turned around and went upstairs.

It was originally planned to drop by the night after tomorrow, but this day, an ordinary day, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, a man came to the door.

The maid was taken aback when she opened the door: "You are..."

The man was wearing a frayed overcoat, unshaven, looking downcast, and smoking a cigarette.At this moment, he hurriedly put the cigarette in his hand, looked at the capable maid, deliberately straightened his back and said, "I'm looking for someone from your family."

"Whose guest are you?"

The man showed a complacent look: "I'm not a guest, I'm a relative of your family."

The maid raised her eyebrows: "Sorry, if it's a relative, I should have met."

"Ha, don't you know, which family doesn't have poor relatives?" The man yelled, "Tell the head of your family to come out, that's...Meng Zhe!"

The maid originally thought he was a troublemaker, but she was a little uncertain when she saw his swearing expression and named him by name: "Are you looking for young master?"

The man smiled: "Yes, I am your brother-in-law."

"What..." The maid was taken aback for a moment, the eldest brother's brother-in-law, the young master's biological mother...hasn't it been unknown.

She relaxed for a moment, the man pushed her away and stepped into the room.

"You..." The maid hurriedly followed, and whispered to the person who heard the sound: "Call the young master and say that someone has broken into the house."

This is so strange, the people living in this area are all famous people, and the security measures have always been very good, how could such a person be let in.

The maid felt strange and looked up to see Meng Jun coming down the stairs with a lazy cat on his shoulder.

She was afraid that the man would bump into the child, so she hurriedly said, "Young master..."

Before he finished speaking, the man called out first: "Oh, nephew!"

Meng Jun stood still by the stairs, looked at the man, his eyes were so calm that he didn't look like a child, and all the affectionate words that told him were stuck in his throat.

The maid rushed to hold his hand: "Young master, go back to your room."

After shaking his hand, I realized that the child was holding a photo in his hand.

She took it over suspiciously and looked at it. It was an old photo. On it was a woman in a cheongsam embroidered with red peony flowers. She had a beautiful appearance and a smile on her face.

The author has something to say: the BUG proposed by the two Guliang in the comments, please explain:

[-]. Some cats (a very high proportion) cannot drink milk because they are intolerant to the lactose in milk. Kittens may suffer from diarrhea after drinking milk, but some cats are fine after drinking milk. OK.

Because I feed dogs with milk, I also wrote milk by hand, which caused an error, and the relevant chapters have been revised.

[-]. The source of "Swallows Anzhi Honghu's Ambition" comes from "Historical Records Chen She's Family" and "Zhuangzi Xiaoyaoyou". The relevant chapters have been revised.

Because writing the article was fun for a while, I didn't carefully consider the right and wrong and the source of these details, which caused misleading to everyone, I apologize here【Bow.
