Xu Jun's life

On the day of Lidong, every family is making mutton soup.

The Xia family is the chef Xia Zhifei, and the Xiaoyao family is the chef Xia Chen. They both have the same exquisite and healthy taste. Zheng Yehu can't cook, and he refuses to be a cook, so he came to my house for dinner .Li Zhurong wanted to show off, but he was not stingy, and said to him proudly: "Bring Wei Lin."

Zheng Yehu's family is headed by his mother, who cooks all the meals, so he is not very picky when it comes to food.Lin Wei was born in the army, and he is not picky. I stewed a mutton soup. Zheng Yehu wants to eat hot pot. The northern shabu-shabu uses clear soup, and the effort is on the sauce.It's not too much trouble.But Li Zhurong's attitude was very strange, and he wanted to show off, but he didn't want me to cook delicious food for Zheng Yehu.After a few sneering words, Zheng Yehu's skin was very thick, and he was at ease.

Li Xiu is used to being noisy these days, he forgot to restrain himself in front of his father, and rushed into the kitchen shouting: "I want to eat cumin beef!" Li Zhurong caught him and threw him upstairs. Zheng Ao was wearing a suit. The little snow-white sweater sat on the armrest of the sofa and laughed at him: "Little bull, I told you not to be arrogant."

Zheng Yehu and Li Zhurong are truly "brothers on the ground", a relationship closer than real brothers. Although Li Zhurong has an expression of disdain for Zheng Yehu all day long, when something happens, the two people's positions are basically the same .

Just like this time, Zheng Yehu just started and said, "Xia Zhifei said last time that his villa in Xiaotangshan has been rebuilt, let me tell you..."

"Understood." Li Zhurong glanced at Lin Wei: "Are you going too?"

"It's just hot springs, who doesn't have one." Zheng Yehu leaned back in his chair, almost put his feet up on the table: "He knew that what happened in Chengdu last time offended us so badly, he wanted to Why don't you accompany us, otherwise you won't recruit Xia Chen as a peacemaker." Li Zhurong has always attached great importance to Xia Chen.

"It's not impossible to go. When the house was built, the Xiquan of Xia's family was the best. Lu Feixia soaked in Xiaotangshan every winter, and he is still alive and kicking." Zheng Yehu smiled like a fox, watching Lin Wei: "Lin Wei's gunshot wound a few years ago has not healed. I have long wanted to get an idea of ​​​​his hot spring."

Lin Wei has worked as his bodyguard for several years, so he probably knows about the affairs of these families: "I'm fine, I don't need to soak in any hot springs."

He is an upright person, and when Zheng Yehu looked at him with peach blossom eyes and a smile, his face turned red.

I was pulling Li Xiu to prevent him from kicking Zheng Ao under the table, when I suddenly heard Li Zhurong asking in my ear, "Does teacher like to soak in hot springs?"

I thought of those things when we were swimming together in Hainan, and shook my head quickly.

Li Zhurong laughed: "Then it's settled, go to Xiaotangshan to soak in the hot spring tomorrow."

Zheng Yehu and Lin Wei stayed at my house that night. Li Xiu and Zheng Ao had a fight in the library because they were arguing over which of Andersen's fairy tales and Grimm's fairy tales was better. What is written is the reality..." Zheng Ao rode on the bookshelf, and threw the shredded bookcase of Andersen's fairy tales at him: "Little bull, there are so many dark sides in Grimm's fairy tales, don't talk about them if you don't understand them..."

I had no choice but to carry Li Xiu to sleep, Zheng Ao asked from behind: "Well, Uncle Li's wife, will your Xiao Lang come tomorrow?"

Before I could speak, Li Xiu turned his head so angry that he wished he could spit at him: "Xu Lang wouldn't come, you like him so much, take him to your house!"

Xu Lang is a child adopted by my mother.

My mother has always refused to live with us.

She insisted on moving back to N City and living in my original house. I insisted for a long time, and she finally agreed to live in my dormitory at school.Sometimes I work late and sleep in school.

She always said: "When you are old, you can't keep up with the times, and you have nothing to say when you live with young people, but it makes you feel uncomfortable at home..."

I was ashamed to hear it.

I know that she will never be able to truly feel at ease with Li Zhurong in her life.

After my dad left, she seemed to have aged overnight. She had white hair and lost so many smiles. Even Xiaobai couldn't make her happy.

She is always worried about me.

Worried that my work is not going well, worried that I am too tired, worried that I will not get along with Li Xiu, worried that she will leave, and I will be alone in the future.

On my 35th birthday, she adopted Xu Lang.

She named the child Lang, Lang who is sunny, and Lang who laughs loudly.

At the beginning, when she adopted Xu Lang, Xu Lang was already seven years old, a delicate and fair child. She said that she had a relationship with this child and said that this child looked like me.She also didn't say that this child was adopted by me. She took Xu Lang with her all the time. Xu Lang was studying in the junior class of R University. He was a smart child.

It was Xu Lang's eighth birthday, and I went to celebrate his birthday.

My mother cooked a good meal, and then told me: "Your father met Xu Lang."

She said that Xu Lang was found by my father and her when they went to the orphanage. When they went, the children were chasing and making noise in the yard, and only Xu Lang was sitting in the shade of a tree, reading a book quietly. , eyebrows and eyes very much like when I was a child.

After Xu Lang's birthday, she still returned to N City, leaving Xu Lang behind.

She said that parents can only accompany you for half of your life, and children can only accompany you for half of your life. Your father and I have already spent half of our life with you.Next is the children to accompany you.

I always remember that that morning, I came back from N city where I arranged for my mother to pick up Xu Lang from school. He was wearing a white sweater and a white down jacket made by my mother, standing in the snow with a physics Olympiad in his hand. He looked at me with a little dismay.

At that moment, I seemed to see myself 20 years ago.

Li Xiu is full of hostility towards Xu Lang.

I dare not put the two of them together, Li Xiu always bullies him.Li Xiu's taste is the same as Li Zhurong's, which is lighter. Xu Lang, like me, likes spicy and salty flavors made by my mother.So when cooking, I always share two portions, and Xu Lang and I eat the one with the stronger taste.

Once when I came out after cooking, I found that six-year-old Li Xiu was in front of eight-year-old Xu Lang. He robbed Xu Lang of his food. He was clearly not used to such a spicy taste, so he insisted on gnashing his teeth to eat it. It was so spicy. flushed.

Xu Lang is too honest.

I was afraid that he would be bullied at home when I went to work, so I sent him to live in school. When I was packing his luggage, the thin and fair boy sat on the edge of the bed and stared at me blankly.

I sewed his name on his quilt and bed sheets, taught him to recognize his own clothes, taught him to recite the phone, he couldn't stop crying, grabbed my hand and asked, "I'm not afraid of Li Xiu anymore, I'm not going to live on campus, okay?"

But no.

Li Zhurong told me: "I can give him money, I can send him to study abroad, I can hire a nanny for him, and transfer several houses to him, but the teacher cannot adopt him."

He said: "The teacher is always afraid of being cruel to others, why doesn't he think about me?"

What he meant was that he only treats me well, and I can only treat him well. One more Li Xiu is already the limit, and Xu Lang has exceeded his tolerance limit.

On the day Xu Lang went to live in school, I sent him to the dormitory. Li Zhurong was always extravagant and prepared a single apartment for him, with an exquisite wooden bed with goose feather pillows, air-conditioning, hot water, and a computer.

I made his bed, and he stood by, in his brand new school uniform, watching.

When I left, he had been sent to the school gate.

Outside, the phoenix trees were green and the shadows of the trees were mottled. I was afraid that he would not have enough money, so I gave him some change, but he refused to take it. I knelt down and told him, "This is my own salary, which is earned by my father."

Tears rolled down his face "swish".

"Don't hate me..." I put my arms around his shoulders and let him cry in my neck. He has smooth black hair.Thin back.

He is still so young, he can't wash clothes, he can't run water to take a bath by himself, and he doesn't even recognize his own quilt.

I'm afraid that he will be bullied by his classmates, that he will be sad if his grades are not good, that he won't be used to the food outside, that he will be scalded by hot water, and that the nanny will treat him badly...

He is afraid of going back to the orphanage, afraid of the dark, afraid that I will send him to other people for adoption, and afraid that I will not come to see him.

He put his arms around my neck and told me crying, "I'm not mad at you anymore..."

He said: "I'm not afraid of Li Xiu bullying me, I don't want to live on campus, it doesn't matter if he bullies me, really..."

He said: "I will be obedient, I will make Uncle Li like me, don't you want me..."

Such a small child was crying so heartbroken, the nanny led him back to the dormitory, he was sobbing and choking, he turned around step by step, seeing that I was about to get in the car, he suddenly broke free from the nanny's hand, and ran over desperately.

He cried with tears all over his face, and he chased me and asked, "Dad, can you come and see me on my birthday?"

Every time I go to school to see Xu Lang, I always feel depressed for a few days after I come back.

Sometimes I feel very discouraged. People in their 30s are always helpless in one way or another.

But in those few days, Li Xiu always seemed very obedient, he was not a kid who would show weakness, he just followed me, wherever I went he would follow.

Once, when I was drying his hair, he suddenly said, "Does Dad think I'm a bad person?"

Like Xu Lang, he called me Dad.

I can't answer him.

Li Zhurong said: "Teacher, I have always been a bad person. I have to monopolize what I like. I know that if I want to monopolize, I have to grab it. If the teacher feels sorry for Xu Lang, I can give him a lot of money. It doesn't matter if you want to start a company or do whatever you want in the future. Xiaoan also agrees, and will support him like a brother in the future. Teacher, he is much luckier than his companions in the orphanage."

He said: "If the teacher wants to be nice to others, I can use money instead. But I am different."

He said: "I just want the teacher to treat me well."
