Rice and Xiaomi are Dong Jinping's children, born in the third year after he married Du Xiujuan.The arrival of the twin sons made Dong Jinping very happy. He immediately told the news to Dong Yu who was studying far away, because he knew that no one would be happy for him except Dong Yu.

At that time, Dong Yu was out of town and was about to enter his second year in technical school.When Dong Yu learned that his second elder brother was happy to have a son, he was so excited that he wished he could fly his wings and go back to his hometown to see the two newborn nephews.Dong Yu's request for leave to go home was rejected by Dong Jinping, saying that it would not be too late to come back for the Chinese New Year.Dong Yu didn't want Dong Jinping to worry, and finally agreed to him.But what Dong Yu never expected was that when he returned home during the Chinese New Year, Dong Jinping was no longer there, and the two children were also brought back to her natal home by Du Xiujuan.

Dong Yu heard from Dong's mother that Dong Jinping had an accident on the way back from get off work.Several days of heavy snow made the road into the village difficult to walk, and Dong Jinping's legs and feet were not good, so he thought about taking a shortcut and coming back from the mountainside, but he fell down the mountain somehow, maybe Slip it.

Dong Jinping's death dealt a heavy blow to Dong Yu. He hadn't been out of the house for many days. He once thought that he could just suffocate to death in this room, and save his second brother from being lonely down there alone.After all, Dong Yu's thinking is stupid. He is immersed in the past life with his second brother every day. He thinks that probably no one in this life will drive him to school with a limp like Dong Jinping.

Dong Yu spent more than ten days in a daze, slovenly and out of shape. It was not until Dong Jinfeng came to bring him dinner that day that he looked up at the stubborn brother in front of him in embarrassment.Sitting beside Dong Yu, he hesitated to speak for a long time before saying, "Third Brother...Second Brother is gone, where is your school?"

Dong Yu was so engrossed in her grief that she forgot all about school.Dong Yu thought for a moment, "Second Brother is gone, and the school is under closed management. I don't think I can support myself, so let's forget it."

Dong Jinfeng turned his head slowly, "Will the second brother be sad?"

Dong Yu smiled wearily, "Second brother will understand me if there is no other way."

"Third brother, what will you do in the future?"

Dong Yu sighed, "I have learned everything I need to learn, so I will graduate early."

Dong Jinfeng still nodded, and then said to Dong Yu: "Third brother, you haven't gone out for more than ten days. There are some things that my mother won't let me tell you, but I think...in this family, you and the second brother Feelings are the best, I think you need to know."

Dong Yu looked at him curiously, "What's the matter?"

Dong Jinfeng scratched his head, "I heard from our mother that the second sister-in-law is going to remarry, but the man doesn't agree to bring the second brother's child to marry there... Two days ago, the second sister-in-law called and asked if we could let our family marry her." Bring the child back."

Without Dong Jinfeng finishing his sentence, Dong Yu knew what was going on behind the scenes, "My dad disagrees, right?"

Dong Jinfeng pursed his lips and said nothing.

Dong Yu knew this was the case, and then let out a mocking laugh from his nasal cavity.

"Third brother..." Dong Yufeng buried his head deeply, "Do you hate our dad?"

Dong Yu looked down at him, and sighed as if rubbing his head, "Whether you hate it or not at such a young age, can you hate it?" Dong Yu didn't know what he said wrong, in short, he just put Dong Jinfeng Annoyed, he waved Dong Yu's hand away, stood up, and said angrily, "Third Brother, I hate our dad, and Fourth Sister too. In his eyes, Big Brother is his son. We They were all picked up, the elder brother has money to study, and we all have to rely on the second elder brother..." Dong Jinfeng's eyes were filled with tears, but in the end, because he was too young, he couldn't hold back the things in his heart and shed them. He sobbed: "Third Brother, Fourth Sister and I both want to study, why doesn't our father want to support us?"

The momentary shock made Dong Yu understand that Dong Jinfeng had grown up. He stretched out his hand and pulled him over, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Boy, although the second brother is gone, you still have the third brother, from now on After that, the third brother will read for you."

Dong Jinfeng's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't care less about crying at this moment. He grabbed Dong Yu's arm excitedly and said, "Really, third brother? Are you willing to help me and fourth sister study?"

Dong Yu squeezed out a wry smile, "Your third brother is a man, he keeps his word."

"Then you don't go to school?"

Dong Yu shook his shoulders, "God is destined not to let the third brother study, but it doesn't matter, there will still be opportunities in the future, after all, you will live to the old and learn, and when you and the fourth girl are successful, the third brother will be here." Go read."

Dong Jinfeng was amused, "Go to school with a beard?"

"What? Can't you?"

Dong Yu kept his promise, as long as he said it himself, he must do it, but it is a pity that he can no longer fulfill his oath to his second brother.After Dong Yu dropped out of school, he went back to his hometown to work in a power plant. His monthly salary was only [-] yuan, but he was very busy. Xiao Wu was studying, but on the other hand, he had to find a way to bring back Dong Jinping's two children.

Dong's father believed the words of Dong Boss, saying that the child's return would increase the family's burden. Dong's father listened to his words and refused to let the child in. At this time, Dong Yu's salary was not high, so he really didn't have the ability to bring the child back. Until a chance, he accompanied the department director of the power plant to a meeting in the outskirts of the city. On the way back, he happened to see a small concierge on the street for sale. Dong Yu had a sudden inspiration and rushed to the house. I went to inquire about the situation, but what I didn't expect was that the concierge still had a house book, and it only sold for 2000 yuan.As for why it's so cheap, the boss also explained the reason very honestly, saying that the place used to be his mother's, and then the old lady died in it, and the concierge is a grass-mud house, so who would buy it if it's too expensive?

Dong Yu had a feeling that this might be an opportunity for him. Working for others is always a matter of face. It would be better to be your own boss and do whatever you want.Dong Yu immediately made a decision, borrowed [-] from the department director, added the money in his own pocket, and took down the concierge on the same day.

At that time, Dong Yu was not yet 20 years old, so he couldn’t get the support of Dong’s father when he suddenly made this decision, but he didn’t care, he resolutely opened a barbecue restaurant here, and the name of the restaurant is “Three-point cooked”. .Dong Yu himself had never done barbecue, so after several inquiries, he finally found a barbecue master in the next village.Dong Yu invited him to the store and explained the current situation. The salary is not much, but freedom is the most important thing, and the location of the store is not prosperous enough. There are no people in front of the village or behind the store, and the busy work only takes an afternoon.The barbecue master agreed to Dong Yu, and then he was busy borrowing money to buy goods. After half a month of continuous tossing, the small shop finally opened, and it was opened under the strong opposition of Dong's father and Dong's boss.

Dong Yuren is smart, and steals from the grill master every day. In order to save the money of hiring someone, he can only save such thoughts.However, God seemed to understand Dong Yu's thoughts. The barbecue chef resigned after working here for half a year, saying that there was an urgent matter at home.Dong Yu didn't want to keep it, and let him leave after paying his salary. Since then, Dong Yu has supported the store by himself, buying meat, cutting meat and skewering skewers.

There are several dilapidated factories near Dong Yu's shop. Whenever the workers get off work, they will go to Dong Yu's shop to drink and eat skewers.The signboard of Dong Yu's restaurant is "medium-rare". The beef is roasted to medium-rare, and two skewers cost one yuan.However, there are disadvantages to medium-rare skewers, and people with poor stomachs should eat them with caution.In order to prevent being blackmailed, Dong Yu specially posted a sign on each table: "Those who have a bad stomach, do not eat medium rare, or you will bear the consequences."

Dong Yu's small, half-cooked shop has flourished in this way, and thanks to these simple workers, it has gained a firm foothold in the suburbs.Slowly, Dong Yu saved some money, and finally gained enough confidence to take Rice and Xiaomi back from Du Xiujuan.

"Third Uncle." A childish voice came from the door.

Dong Yu woke up from the memory, he got up and looked at the door, "Jiajia, why are you here?" Dong Yu was very kind to Dong Jiajia, even though she was the daughter of Dong Boss.

Jia Jia smiled and showed her small canine teeth, "Happy New Year, third uncle, Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes."

Dong Yu pretended to be angry, "Little girl, third uncle won't hurt anymore." After all, Dong Yu really took out the red envelope from his pocket, which was given by Dong's mother, and he handed it to Dong Jiajia, "Here is the red envelope for you." , go to the front yard to play, or let your dad know that he should be angry again."

Dong Jiajia may also be puzzled under the immature expression, why the third uncle and father always look at each other coldly?Unpredictable, Dong Jiajia went to the door with a red envelope, and when she saw a group of people coming outside, she yelled, "Third Uncle, some bad guys are here to look for you."

Dong Yu was taken aback, stretched his neck to look out the window, then laughed, "I said Li Peidong, why did you provoke Jiajia? He said you are a bad person."

Li Peidong walked up to Dong Jiajia, pinched her chubby face and said, "Little girl, dare to say that I am a bad person, believe it or not, I will sell it to you in the village?"

Dong Jiajia ran away and shouted after running a long way: "This is Cungougou, my father said."

Li Peidong frowned in displeasure, and entered the room with a few people behind him, "You said your elder brother, how do you teach children this, what's the matter, you look down on farmers after eating public meals?"

Dong Yu called several people into the room, "Don't take it to heart, it's not the first time you know him."

Li Peidong is Dong Yu's childhood, a bare-chested doll, who often play mud and swim in ditches together. Later, at the age of studying, Dong Yu chose to go to a technical secondary school, while Li Peidong became a top student.

"What wind brought you here?" Dong Yu knew that the people Li Peidong had brought were all his buddies, and they had dinner together a few times before.

"It's the Chinese New Year, and I wish you a happy New Year."

Dong Yu didn't believe it, "Don't be ridiculous, you will give me New Year's greetings?"

"Hey, why don't you believe it?" Li Peidong said, and took a box of mahjong from a beautiful woman behind him, "Come on, walk around four times, even the hurdles and clips, and treasures."

Dong Yu quickly refused, "Brother Dong, please spare me, my little brother. I am still playing mahjong with my mouth, can you not tease you?" Dong Yu refused to play, waved his hand and said, "If you want to play, I will give it to you." You serve the bureau."

"That's impossible, I have to take you." Li Peidong put his brothers on the table, while he ran to the bed to look at the rice and millet, "Are you really planning to raise these two children?"

"Nurture, he will be my son from now on."

Li Peidong tasted it for a long time, then gave a thumbs up and said, "Bullshit."

Dong Yu was forcefully dragged onto the table by Li Peidong, saying that he would be the one who won and Li Peidong would be the one who lost.There was no other way, so Dong Yu had no choice but to surrender, and bit the bullet.Dong Yu's luck has always been very strong, he will get what he touches, and it is refreshing to win.After four laps, Li Pei suddenly told Dong Yu, "I will get married next year."

"Married?" Dong Yu turned to look at the beautiful woman beside him, "Isn't it just for my sister-in-law?"

The beauty smiled. Dong Yu looked at her attire and temperament, and she was really suitable for a talented student like Li Peidong.Li Peidong is naturally happy to get such a beautiful woman, but he is more worried about the future of his good brother, "Dong Yu, you are also 24, and you don't have a date yet?"

Dong Yu was afraid that others would raise this issue, because he had a little secret, which even his second brother didn't know.Dong Yu likes men, which he discovered when he was in technical secondary school.Therefore, Dong Yu brought these two children back with a bit of selfishness.

Dong Yu said jokingly: "If you're still playing, get out if you don't."

Li Peidong knew that he had to shut up.At the end of the last round of cards, Dong Yu sent Li Peidong and the others away, and it was almost time for dinner, so he took rice and millet to the front yard. The New Year's Eve dinner was lifeless and full. The two children, Dong Yu took them back to the backyard to sleep.

There was nothing to do on the first day of junior high school, because Dong's family was going to the old man's place to pay New Year's greetings, and Dong Yu found an excuse to spend a day at home with his two children.In the early morning of the second day of junior high school, Dong Yu entrusted the child to Dong’s mother, and he returned to the store in the morning light, packed the frozen pears and persimmons in a foam box, stuffed a lot of ice packs inside, and then rushed to the store. the train station.
