"I don't know, I'm here to eat." Dong Yu put the money into his pocket calmly, and began to pack up the leftovers on the table.

Dong Wenli piled up the things she brought at the door, took off her beige down jacket and put it on the counter. She looked at Dong Yu's busy figure and said, "You lied to me." Dong Wenli came when Dong Yu looked up in surprise. Going to his side, she smiled and said, "Brother, is that person your friend?" Although Dong Wenli didn't see it very clearly, she was still sure that it was a tall man with a good temperament.

"What nonsense, that person is here to eat." Dong Yu stubbornly refused to admit it.

Dong Wenli laughed, "Brother, you are the last person to lie, don't you know?" Dong Wenli reached out to help Dong Yu clean up the dishes on the table, "You said that when people come to eat, they just eat home-cooked meals. ?" Dong Wenli pointed to the leftovers on the table with the chopsticks in her hand, "Leniency is allowed for confession, strictness for resistance, tell me, why do you want to hide it?"

Dong Yu was amused, "You girl is getting more and more ghostly." Dong Yu sighed and said truthfully: "Didn't I go to Beijing to see Xiao Wu some time ago? He was helping people over there as a substitute driver, and I just happened to replace him." After seeing him once, I got to know the one just now."

Dong Wenli was surprised: "Then why did he come here?"

Dong Yu smiled and said, "Maybe it's because of work. I'm not ashamed to ask. In fact, it's a coincidence. I didn't expect it to happen again." Dong Yu walked in the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks, and Dong Wenli followed behind and continued. "It's a coincidence." The two brothers and sisters entered the kitchen, and Dong Wenli rolled up her sleeves and stood by the sink to wash the dishes, "Brother, I brought the household registration. My mother said that if you want to register for rice and millet , There is no need to ask our father."

Dong Yu leaned against the door and stared at the two children outside and said, "Got it."

Dong Wenli turned her head and took a look, "Brother, if you ask me, you have to change the name of Da Mi Xiaomi. They are the children of the second brother, so they can't be named Du?" This person is not bad, but his temper is a bit cowardly. What kind of life did Da Mi Xiaomi live with her during that time.

"Brother knows it in his heart." Dong Yu thought in his heart, and when the [-]th passed, he would go to give the two children's hukou.

"Oh, by the way, brother." Dong Wenli turned off the faucet, shook the water from her hands and walked over, "Brother, before I came, I overheard Boss Dong and our father saying that your place is going to be demolished, is it true? "

Dong Yu was taken aback, "Boss Dong is quite well-informed, isn't he?"

"Does that mean it's true?" Dong Wenli said with a worried expression, "Brother, let me tell you the truth, Boss Dong is worried about your demolition money, and he is doing ideological work with our dad right now." "Dong Wenli gritted her teeth with hatred, "Boss Dong must have listened to Fang Chunyan's pillow talk, otherwise he wouldn't have the guts to attack your store."

Dong Yu sneered, "Why did he tell our father?"

"What else can I say, cry poor, and then say that Jiajia now spends money on basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, tuition fees are getting more expensive every year, and the two of them have fixed dead wages, saying that you will borrow part of it when you get the demolition fund I’ll return it to you when I have more money.” Dong Wenli spat disdainfully, “When I think of the faces of Mr. and Mrs. Dong, I feel disgusted.” After speaking, Dong Wenli solemnly said to Dong Yu: “ Brother, let me tell you, if you dare to borrow money from him, don't blame my sister for not recognizing you as a brother."

Dong Yu sneered, "You have no confidence in me, your brother."

Dong Wenli said with emotion: "You and I are relieved, but the key point is that I don't worry about our mother. You also know that when our father gives an order, our mother will definitely come to persuade you. When the time comes, what will you do if your heart softens?"

Dong Yu clicked his tongue, "You underestimate your brother and me, don't worry, even if our mother comes to persuade me, I won't agree." Dong Yu looked at the big girl standing in front of her, she was no longer She was the little girl who was often angry and cried when she was a child. She is about to graduate from the normal school soon, and soon she will become a people's teacher, standing in the school classroom and imparting the knowledge she has learned to the students.

"Wen Li, brother has something to tell you, but don't blame brother after you hear it, okay?" Dong Yu said in a low voice, because he really had no idea in his heart, he didn't know what Dong Wenli would do after hearing it. What kind of reaction do you have, will you resent him for favoring one another?

Dong Wenli was very curious, and said with a smile: "Why are you so serious, there is nothing we brothers and sisters can say."

Dong Yu sorted out his thoughts, and said softly: "Wen Li, I want to borrow some money from a friend to send Jinfeng to study abroad after the demolition funds come down."

"Study abroad?" Dong Wenli's voice was obviously much higher. The most direct effect of this voice was to make Dong Yu tremble. It was the first time that he was so afraid of his sister.

Dong Yu didn't dare to look Dong Wenli directly in the eyes, "Well, Jinfeng School has given a place."

Dong Wenli's expression was not very good, "He asked you for money?"

Dong Yu explained anxiously: "That's not true. I found out when I went to Beijing. I asked Jinfeng later, and he told me the truth."

"Really?" Dong Wenli sized Dong Yu up in doubt.

Dong Yu was inexplicably flustered by Dong Wenli's look, and nodded frantically, "Yeah, why should I lie to you?"

Dong Wenli was amused by Dong Yu's flustered expression, "Brother, don't you think I will hate you because of this?" Although Dong Wenli was smiling, the bitterness in her expression could not be concealed. Going to Dong Yu's side and holding his arm, "Brother, I'm not jealous, really." Dong Wenli tilted her head and leaned on Dong Yu's shoulder, "I'm already very content, if our family doesn't have you and the second Brother, I don’t even know what it will be like.” Dong Wenli’s eyes were wet, “I think Xiaowu and I will go to farm, and we will be called by Boss Dong every day as grandchildren. Marry someone, Xiaowu marry a wife, and then spend the rest of her life in the village." Dong Wenli raised her head, and said with a blooming smile: "Brother, don't worry, I will not only not be jealous, but I will support you, no matter what you do Whatever decision you make, I will support you."

Dong Yu was moved and distressed, "Brother did not do well enough."

Dong Wenli almost burst into tears, "You are the best brother in the world, I am proud to have a brother like you." Dong Wenli sniffed and laughed, "Do you feel very touched and heartwarming? .”

Dong Yu nodded and admitted, "I'm very touched."

"However..." Dong Wenli is not a child after all, and her ideological maturity quickly brought her back to the real issue from the touch of family affection. She worried: "How much does it cost for Xiao Wu to go abroad? Is the demolition fund not enough?"

Dong Yu shook his head, "At least 30."

"So much?" Dong Wenli panicked, "The demolition funds are not enough, you still have to borrow money, what will you do after that, do you want to live with foreign debts?" Dong Wenli subconsciously thought of the worst possible outcome, "Brother, If that's the case, I can't let Xiao Wu go abroad."

Dong Yu was surprised and said, "You just said you supported my decision."

"Then we have to support you when you are safe and sound. It's impossible now." Dong Wenli thought about it carefully and said, "Brother, if you are alone, you can make money. When the time comes, Xiao Wu and I will graduate. You can pay off the debt together, but now it’s different, you want rice and millet, are you going to let them eat chaff with you?”

Dong Wenli's words caught Dong Yu's heart, "These brothers have thought about it."

"It's useless to think about it, but there is no result." Dong Wenli said forcefully: "I will call Xiaowu tomorrow. If he insists on going abroad, I will go to Beijing to beat him and ask him if he wants to exhaust you. See if he still has the heart."

Dong Yu knew that she could do it, so he had to resort to delaying the attack, "Don't mention this matter, we will talk about it when we get the demolition money, and Xiao Wu's life in Beijing is not good, he is not willing to spend a penny, all go He lives in the basement, so stop scolding him."

Dong Wenli heard that Dong Jinfeng was not doing well in Beijing, and she was relieved of her anger just now, so she remained silent.

That night, the two brothers and sisters didn't mention Dong Jinfeng's going abroad again. After welcoming a few waves of guests, the two brothers and sisters closed the stall, put together a table, and hung a bed sheet in the middle to block the view.Lying on the bed, Dong Wenli tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and the slight breathing sound from the next door gradually turned into a kind of worry.Dong Wenli opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, and murmured: "God, you really want to exhaust him to death."

In the morning of the next day, Dong Wenli went to see her classmates, and did not go back until it was dark.When she was approaching the door of the store, she saw a black car parked aside, and the man who got out of the car walked in with steady steps.Dong Wenli rubbed her eyes, isn't this the one from last night?

Dong Yu was sitting in the shop and was cutting meat, he just frowned when he saw Bai Ruiyang coming in.

Bai Ruiyang threw the car keys on the table and said with a smile, "I don't seem to welcome you very much."

"Mr. Bai is here for porridge again?"

Bai Ruiyang tilted his head and sat opposite Dong Yu, "Do you want to cook it for me?"

Dong Yu smiled and said, "I don't want to."

"Don't be so honest, okay?" Bai Ruiyang was tired all day, and his tense emotions were not relieved until the moment he saw Dong Yu, "I seem to like you here."

Dong Yu couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Then I have to set off firecrackers to celebrate."

Bai Ruiyang turned a deaf ear to it, stood up with a smile and went to the washing machine, took out Mi and Xiaomi one by one, and said, "I'm fine tomorrow, you take Mi and Xiaomi to a place with me." Bai Ruiyang said firmly, almost nonchalantly discussing There is no room for them, that is, if you go, you have to go, and if you don’t go, you have to go.
