Two pots of water

Before she finished speaking, she had already entered.

Qin Zui had no choice but to follow behind her.

He thought for a second in his mind, should he say "my brother" or "Jiang Chu".

In the end, he still opened his mouth and replied, "I'll see Jiang Chu off."

Jiang Chu's mother looked back at him.

"He still has a fever," Tan Zui added, "I just went to get an injection."

"Not yet?" Jiang Chu's mother was a little surprised.

Tan Zui said "hmm" and didn't speak again.

Jiang Chu was looking for files in front of the computer, when he felt someone coming in, he said without raising his head, "Puppy, there should be a hard drive in my car, go and get it for me."

"Small what?" Mom asked.

Jiang Chu raised his head in surprise.

Mom looked back, and Tan Zui had already turned directly to get the hard drive.

"Auntie is here." Da Ben heard Jiang Chu's mother's voice, and stood up with a "yo".

"What are you doing standing up? I'm busy with you." Mom patted Da Ben's arm, and tugged at the hem of his rolled up clothes, "This dress is..."

"Mom." Jiang Chu went to pull a chair for her, "Why are you here?"

"I got off work early today, I don't have anything to do," my mother raised her hand to test Xia Jiangchu's forehead, "Come over here to have a look."

By the way?

Jiang Chu suppressed the urge to raise his eyebrows.

Lukewarm suddenly drop by to have a look?

Da Ben went to get a glass of water, Jiang Chu didn't say much.

Being outside is no better than being at home. No one can be mentally prepared for any variables.

And Tan Zui happened to be there today, and Jiang Chu was worried about it, afraid that his mother would tell Tan Zui "move away" overtly and secretly.

Thinking of Tan Zui, he turned his head and looked out: "Where is Tan Zui?"

Just after asking, Tan Zui happened to enter the courtyard with a hard drive and waved at him.

"There are so many people today." Da Ben said.

"You and Tan Zui are quite familiar too?" Mom put the bag on Jiang Chu's table, took the water from Da Ben, sat down and looked at him with a smile.

"Hi." Da Ben glanced at Jiang Chu, "Brother Jiang Chu is my own brother."

After Tan Zui came in, he greeted Da Ben and handed the hard drive to Jiang Chu.

"Play by yourself for a while." Jiang Chu took it, and wanted to flick him in the face, stretched his arm halfway and retracted it.

Tan Zui looked at his mother again in embarrassment.

"What did Jiang Chu call you just now?" Jiang Chu's mother smiled, "Puppy?"

"Shouting." Tan Zui didn't sit next to her, looked around, and went to sit on the wicker chair sofa on the small balcony where he had come back from last time.

When he sat down, he was still wondering if he should tell Jiang Chu that he should go back first.

His mother didn't look like she was in a hurry to come over, she just sat and chatted with Da Ben, asking about Jiang Chu's fever, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Jiang Chu to find the documents.

"It's been sent, let it be received over there." In less than 10 minutes, he rushed to Daben and said something.

"Okay, they will contact me directly if there is anything to do later," Da Ben made an OK gesture, "There is nothing else to do, you go back and rest."

For the past few days, Jiang Chu has been working like a foreign worker because he has a fever. He just clicks and leaves when he comes, and he is almost always doing big jobs.

He was very embarrassed, and wanted to talk to Da Ben for a while, but his mother suddenly came over and he didn't have the time to talk, so he patted Da Ben on the shoulder.

"Would you like to watch it later? Should we go back?" Jiang Chu picked up his mother's bag and turned to ask her.

"Isn't it time for dinner?" Mom got up and took the bag, "Da Ben called your wife, and Auntie will treat you to dinner."

"How nice it was for you to come here yesterday. My mother-in-law just called her this morning to ask her to eat dumplings, but the noodles didn't come together, so the two of you just waited for me at home." Da Ben exaggeratedly shook his head, "I'm not happy. "

"It's embarrassing for me to meet you." My mother has always liked Daben, she can talk, and the closeness makes people feel warm.

Hearing that she started chatting with Da Ben about "marriage", "daughter-in-law" and "mother-in-law" again, Jiang Chu turned around and called Tan Zui, indicating that he was ready to go home.

"Wait a while, I almost forgot." Da Ben waved to Tan Zui, "Come on, Tan Zui is here to help you."

"What?" Qin Zui walked beside him.

"Help Brother Ben choose a mouse," Da Ben clicked on the webpage, "Your brother must say that the other one looks better..."

Jiang Chu sent his mother out first, and before he reached the gate of the courtyard, his mother took out her mobile phone and prepared to make a call: "Then let's go eat, I will reserve a private room in the store."

"Really?" Jiang Chu looked at her, "I treat you as polite to Da Ben."

"What's so polite with him." Mom looked at him.

"No, mom, why do you always eat whatever you want recently?" Jiang Chu frowned, a little helpless, "Aren't you afraid that we'll make up at home too, so you're just waiting to go back and make dumplings?"

Forget it last time, Jiang Chu is really not very emotional to deal with his mother today.

Not to mention his fever and fever, he hasn't had an injection for many years, and half of his buttocks are still sore at the moment, he just wants to go home, take a shower and lie on his stomach.

"When a mother asks her son to have a meal together, why is it sudden or not?" The mother stared at him, "I won't listen to other things, and I can't call you after a meal?"

Her tone and speed of speech were still the same as before, and she was as relaxed as joking, but Jiang Chu could hear the subtle change inside.

What does the matter of "speaking but not listening" refer to, and both mother and son are like mirrors in their hearts.

"Where are you going to talk about this?" Jiang Chu could only sigh in his heart when he got to the point, "It's still on the line after a meal."

"Isn't that enough?" Mom glared at him again, and then turned her eyes back for a while, "It's better to make dumplings, I don't even have to order them."

"Take my car," she opened her car door and threw her bag in, "Tan Zui is also with me."

Qin Zui just came out of the courtyard, and when he heard this sentence, he raised his eyes to Jiang Chu.

Jiang Chu frowned slightly.

Maybe it's because he cares more about Tan Zui than he realizes, especially in the current situation, he's a little too sensitive.

There is nothing wrong with the "together" in the second half of the mother's sentence when it was used by Da Ben and his wife just now.

It was used after Qin Zui's name, and Jiang Chu only felt harsh when he heard it.

——No matter how far my mother guessed, what she was thinking, and what she thought of Tan Zui.

Saying the word "also" means that in her heart, Tan is the most "outsider" that needs to be brought along.

From the mother's point of view, this is indeed the case. After all, they are not Jiang Chu's biological younger brother, and they are not even a father.

Qin Zui didn't feel anything when he heard it, he just observed Jiang Chu's attitude with his eyes.

But looking at Tan Zui who hadn't spoken much since meeting his mother just now, Jiang Chu really felt distressed.

This feeling of tugging back and forth between my mother and Qin Zui, unable to break the jar, but also unable to do anything up and down, is more tormenting than fever.

"He won't go." Jiang Chu answered directly for Tan Zui.

"Aren't you going?" Mom raised her eyebrows at Tan Zui.

Seeing the meaning, I didn't even think about letting me go.

Qin Zui answered in his heart.

"Talk to your friends to have dinner together tonight." He tugged at Jiang Chu's mother, "I'm not going, auntie."

"Girlfriend, you put it so implicitly." Jiang Chu's mother looked at him, "Where are you going to eat? Come up and take you there."

The word "girlfriend" was stared and asked by Jiang Chu's mother face to face, which made Tan's heart flutter even more than listening to it on the phone.

He smiled and refused: "No, I just drove my brother's car back."

"Slow down." Jiang Chu told him.

Qin gave the lowest "um" sound.

On the way home, Tan Zui didn't know what he was thinking, he just felt dazed while waiting for the red light, and when he looked up again, he was already at the gate of the community.

After parking the car in the garage, he closed his eyes tiredly, leaned back in the chair and dazed for a few more minutes before pressing the elevator to go upstairs.

The home was the same as when they came back every day, the slippers of the two were piled together in a mess.

Jiang Chu turned over one of Jiang Chu's slippers face down, Tan Zui bent down to pick it up for him, and yelled "Zhou Teng" while changing the shoes.

Zhou Teng didn't come out, he doesn't care about people these days.

Originally, he just didn't like to talk to Jiang Chu, but every time Qin Zui came back, he would greet him at the door.

Recently, Jiang Chu had a fever every day, which made Tan the most battered. He ignored Zhou Teng several times, and now the two brothers packed him up and ignored him.

I can't even shout.

Qin Zui took off his T-shirt and threw it into the washing machine, and went to the living room to have a look.

There was a pile of clothes on the sofa, all of which had been washed and dried in the past few days, and the hangers hadn't been picked up yet. Zhou Teng nestled on it like a chicken hatching an egg.

"Did you hear me?" Tan Zui leaned on the back of the sofa with one hand, bent down and flicked Zhou Teng's forehead lightly.

After doing this, he laughed himself first: "I was brought out by Jiang Chu."

Zhou Teng turned his head and looked at him sideways from the corner of his eyes.

"Go down, you've got your hair scrunched, and you have to wash it again." Tan Zui took Zhou Teng's arms to carry him down, and went to open a can of cat food for him.

Zhou Teng immediately followed him up and down.

"Jiang Chu is in a bad mood recently, he gets angry every day, and doesn't smile much." Tan Zui looked at it with lowered eyelids, "Did you see it?"

Zhou Teng doesn't even know fart, so he just knows how to eat.

Tan Zui watched it eat for a while, then went to fill up the cat food and water again.

After the living room was cleaned up, he grabbed a garbage bag, lit a cigarette and went to the balcony to shovel cat litter.

When he finished shoveling and was about to get up, the ash in his mouth fell to the ground.

Qin Chi looked down at the piece of soot, as if he was looking at a valve core that fell out of nowhere.

All the emotions in his body suddenly came up.

"Fuck." Qin Zui pursed his lips and cursed in a low voice.

He threw the small shovel into the basin and sat back on the ground, his arms drooping weakly on his knees.

After staring at the litter box for a cigarette, he groped in his pocket and took out his cell phone, and called Kang Che.

It rang several times before Kang Che picked it up, and when he came up, he sighed at Tan Zui.

"You really know how to choose the time." He said "ah", "It's better to be urgent, otherwise I will fly over and beat the child."

"What are you doing?" Tan Zui flicked his hand and flicked the cigarette butt into the litter box.

"Liberate yourself." Kang Che clicked the mouse over there, and a series of inappropriate shouts "wow" amplified from the receiver.

Tan Zui smiled, and Kang Che turned off his voice again.

"You're in a bad mood?" He didn't need to listen to what Tan Zui said, he just asked.

"Annoying." Qin Zui said.

"It's just getting annoying?" Kang Che smiled, "Did you just find out that he is your brother, or did you just realize that he has a father and a mother and is a straight man?"

Qin was silent.

"Don't want too many things, it will be a lot easier." Kang Che said and yawned, "Don't think about anything, because the situation gets so hot that you can't get it back."

"I can't take it back anymore." Tan Zui frowned, and lit another cigarette.

"I didn't mention you two." Kang Che also pressed the lighter on the phone.

"What's more uncomfortable than what you are feeling now is that one day you will feel really uncomfortable seeing him." He said to Tan Zui slowly, as if reading a tongue twister.
