Fawn

When did Cheng Tingli come back, Xiaolu didn't know; anyway, when Xiaolu entered his room, he saw that the godfather still loved to sleep as usual, and it was not too early or too late, he had already changed into pajamas.The silk pajamas were Western-style, shiny and heavy, and the cuffs and neckline were all embroidered with dark red silk thread.Xiao Lu was not used to men wearing embroidered clothes, but even though Cheng Tingli was over forty years old, he didn't look fat and old, and he was still tall and tall. Dressed like this, he looked quite harmonious.Pulling on his slippers and hands behind his back, he stood in the middle of the room, raised his eyes and smiled at the little deer: "Little bastard, you still go out for a wild run even though you know your godfather is coming back today."

The eldest young master stood aside, and at this moment also spoke: "Where have you been?"

Xiaolu smiled at Cheng Tingli, took another look at the young master, and then replied in a low voice: "I didn't go anywhere, I just went out for a stroll. If I knew that my godfather came back early today, I wouldn't go out."

Cheng Tingli immediately laughed out loud, and waved at Xiaolu again.When the little deer came up to him, he bent down and sat down on a big sofa chair.Shang Xia looked at Xiaolu again, and he laughed softly: "Look at your sweaty head, you ran all the way back from outside?"

Xiaolu told the truth: "At first I walked slowly, but then I saw soldiers at the entrance of the alley, so I started to run."

Cheng Tingli nodded: "Okay, okay, go take off your clothes and wipe your sweat with a towel."

Fawn was wearing a plaid jacket, and at this moment he unbuttoned it as promised, and put it on the coat rack after taking it off.A small orderly came up and took the clothes with both hands to do it for him.Little Lu didn't pay attention, and suddenly saw a pair of hands stretched out from beside him, he was startled, and immediately dropped his jacket.The little orderly had quick eyesight and quick hands, he held up the jacket, and at the same time heard a "click", an envelope fell from the jacket pocket to the ground.

When Cheng Tingli saw it, he didn't take it seriously at first; the young master saw it clearly, and strode over immediately, bent over and reached out to pick it up; the little deer was so panicked that his heart trembled in his chest, and he subconsciously took the lead He bent down and picked up the envelope.

The young master took a chance, so he straightened up and stretched out his hand to him: "What? Give it to me!"

Xiaolu held the envelope tightly: "It's a letter, a letter from my classmate."

The eldest young master stared: "Student? You don't even go to school anymore, where did you come from?"

Xiaolu saw the ferocious face of the young master, and couldn't help but look back at Cheng Tingli, wanting his godfather to stop the young master, but Cheng Tingli smiled and remained silent, acting as a spectator.

"It's the old classmate." Xiaolu murmured, "There are no new classmates, and old classmates are not allowed?"

The young master still maintained the gesture of stretching out his hand: "Even if there is a letter, the letter should have been sent to our home. What do you mean by taking it with you? Or did you just meet your old classmate? Since you met Now, what are you writing letters for?"

After saying this, he made a sudden move and forcibly pulled out the envelope from Xiaolu's hand.The envelope was not sealed either, so when you peel it open and look inside, you can see the contents.If the young master saw the letter at this moment, it would be fine; but looking at the few banknotes in the envelope, he was surprised.After taking out the banknotes and counting them, it was only a few tens of yuan, but for a child like Xiaolu, it was already a huge sum of money, especially since Xiaolu was a person who never touched money.

In front of Cheng Tingli, the eldest young master did not roar, but calmly said: "Tell me, where did you get the money?"

Xiaolu looked at the young master, and then at Cheng Tingli. The young master was calm, and Cheng Tingli was smiling. The reactions of the two made him shudder.He took a step back involuntarily, he was desperate and knew that he could only tell the truth.

Squeezing out a voice from his throat, he lowered his head and replied, "I earned it myself."

The eldest young master laughed coldly, as if his nose was full of cold air: "How did you make money?"

Xiaolu didn't dare to look at people any more, and told the whole story of his career, everything in detail, clearly.The young master didn't intervene until Xiaolu finished the last sentence, Cheng Tingli smiled: "Xiaorui, our child actually worked hard for 30 yuan, you big brother, I don't think it's up to you. "

The Eldest Young Master gave Xiao Lu a sideways look, but he still didn't lose his temper, he just said, "It's a shame."

Xiao Lu didn't feel that he was embarrassing. If he was ashamed, it was probably because he earned less. Thirty yuan is not enough for my elder brother to have fun in the dance hall of the Beijing Hotel once.

At this moment, Cheng Tingli called an adjutant to come in, and gave some vague instructions.When the adjutant was ordered to leave, Cheng Tingli pulled Xiaolu to him, and asked kindly: "Xiaolu, do you want something, and Xiaorui won't buy it for you?"

Xiaolu shook his head, and at the same time felt his godfather's fingers twisting his palm, the fingers were warm and soft, not like a soldier's hand.

"I want to go to school." Cheng Tingli's hand made Xiaolu feel wronged. Xiaolu really needed such a gentle hand to pat himself on the head: "Tell me, big brother doesn't take it seriously."

Cheng Tingli nodded deeply, made a gesture of sudden understanding, then took Xiaolu's hand, brought it to his lips and kissed: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Xiaorui won't give you money, godfather will give you."

After saying this, the adjutant came back from the outside with a cold air, and presented a check with both hands.Cheng Tingli swiped the check into Fawn's hand: "Here, remember, take it to the Citibank on Dongjiaomin Lane, the people at the bank will give you the money after seeing it."

Xiaolu immediately bowed to Cheng Tingli, Cheng Tingli's faults suddenly didn't count as faults at all, compared with the hard-bodied young master, his godfather was like a spring breeze.

Cheng Tingli kissed the back of his hand again, then raised his face and asked him, "How is godfather?"

Xiaolu replied without thinking: "Okay."

Cheng Tingli squinted his eyes and looked at him: "Do you like godfather?"

Xiaolu nodded happily: "I like it."

Cheng Tingli took a deep breath as if intoxicated, and then asked softly, "Do you love me?"

Xiao Lu was stunned for a moment this time, feeling that Cheng Tingli's words were not quite right.And the young master stood there with his hands in his pockets, staring at the ground thoughtfully, as if he turned a blind eye to and deaf to everything around him.

Cheng Tingli didn't wait for Xiaolu's answer, but he didn't care.He laughed a few more times enjoying himself, he naturally changed the subject, and fired at the young master, speaking bluntly, because he is such an excellent old man, he actually raised such a son who only knows how to eat, drink and play , God has no eyes.And if the son continues to be so ineffective, he, the old man who can beat the country, will definitely beat the son of the family just like he beat the country.

The young master was scolded moderately, because it was not wronged, so he listened with a stern face, with a mixture of seriousness and laziness.Xiaolu sneaked a glance at him, seeing that although his face was not very good-looking, he didn't look like he was going to show off his power. Maybe he didn't have to go to war this time, and he could escape unharmed.

When Cheng Tingli had scolded enough, the adjutant who had just come to deliver the check bent down and rubbed his chest silently, which meant to appease him.Xiaolu couldn't help but glanced at the adjutant, and found that this was another new face, of course a good-looking new face, young and handsome, he could be regarded as a good-looking person anywhere.

While caressing Cheng Tingli, the adjutant raised his eyes and smiled at the young master.The eldest young master received this look, bowed to his father immediately, made a special appearance, and whispered: "Father, if you have no other lessons, my son will go down."

Cheng Tingli said nothing, but waved his hand impatiently.

The young master bowed again to his father, and then asked the orderly to bring Xiaolu's coat over.Seeing the deer put on his coat again, he led the deer outside like an overly tall child.

Xiao Lu has walked hand in hand with the young master countless times, especially after seeing his godfather, he must be dragged out by the young master.But today when the two of them were walking, Xiao Lu quietly pulled out his hand, because suddenly he felt that he was also an adult, and he was not much shorter than the young master. of.

The young master didn't pick on him, and continued on his way.After returning to his small courtyard, Xiao Lu caught up with him and asked, "Godfather will have to wait until the Chinese New Year is over before he can leave when Godfather comes back this time?"

The young master shrugged his shoulders Westernized: "Who knows! Anyway, the war is going on in the south right now. If the revolutionary army doesn't come, the old man will be relieved; if the revolutionary army comes, the old man may have to go to the battlefield!"

Xiaolu saw that he was unusually friendly, but felt a little guilty: "Brother, you...don't be angry with me, godfather gave me a check for 1000 yuan, and I'll give it to you, okay?"

The young master shook his head dismissively: "Who would value your bad money? I still need to spend your body? Don't pester me for talking. I have to work for the old man today, on behalf of him. People give gifts."
