brother brother

During the National Day holiday, the brothers of the Xu family asked Liang Chen and Mei Jing to come out for a barbecue. They didn't intend to call Wang Yang, but he bumped into him in the middle of the road. He dragged it like a bag, and everyone had no choice but to take him with him.

The barbecue shop opened on a newly renovated street in the city center.

That street, like Guanyin Hutong, used to be crowded with small shops. There were two to three hundred households on both sides of the road. Since the environmental rectification began, the illegal buildings were demolished, and the dense overhead lines disappeared. The streets are re-planned in accordance with the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, bright and clean.

As the level of this store has improved, more people go to spend, not to mention there is a free park and clothing wholesale market next door, which is very lively at night.

They picked a shop that didn't look too crowded, and ordered a lot of meat skewers. Xu Zhiyuan originally wanted to drink some wine, but his brother stopped him and ordered two bottles of soda for him. Xu Zhiyuan was so angry that he cursed for a long time Perplexed, he insisted on stepping on his brother's feet again.

He was so engrossed in anger that he didn't see the corner of Xu Wenyuan's mouth secretly raised.

Liang Chen saw it, and took another look, but in the end he just smiled and didn't say anything, and the two cool brothers touched their glasses together.

Xu Zhiyuan shouted: "It's not fair! Why can you drink and I can't?"

His brother said lightly: "Because I am an adult."

Xu Wenyuan was originally two years older than Xu Zhiyuan, and he only went to school when he was a child, so he was indeed an adult.

Liang Chen picked out a bunch of meat: "I'm a social person, you can't compare."

Xu Zhiyuan was blocked by the two and couldn't speak a word, so he could only stare blankly.Mei Jing pursed her lips beside her: "Stop bullying him."

At a square table, Liang Chen and Mei Jing sat next to each other in the corner. Liang Chen didn't talk much at first, but now he basically helped Mei Jing unpack the meat to eat. At first Mei Jing could eat a little, but later because of his appetite It was really small, seeing that Liang Chen didn't give up, he became anxious, and kept saying that he couldn't eat anymore.

Liang Chen put the beef under his nose to coax him: "Eat some more."

Mei Jing shook her head, begging for mercy with pitiful eyes.

"I really can't eat anymore. I haven't finished eating the bean curd you gave me."

It's not just bean curds, there are still a lot of them in the bowl like a hill.

"You really don't want to eat?"

"Don't eat."

Liang Chen nodded, and calmly took the contents of Mei Jing's bowl and put it in his mouth. There were still half-bitten mushrooms in Mei Jing's mouth.Xu Zhiyuan turned suspiciously between the two of them, and finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"I said, are you two in a relationship?"

The words startled everyone, making Mei Jing blush, wishing he could get under the table, but Liang Chen said calmly, "Yes."

Wang Yang sprayed out the soda before he swallowed it. Xu Zhiyuan jumped up and couldn't help throwing the whole pack of tissues in his face: "Wang Yang, you are so disgusting!"

Wang Yang didn't even care about wiping, he stammered and trembled: "Master, you, you, you—you..."

Xu Zhiyuan rolled his eyes: "So your mistress has been calling you for so long and haven't thought about why?"

"No no no—yes, I thought... it was a joke! Didn't you just—didn't you know that too?"

"I just asked! In fact, I found out a long time ago. Think about it, what kind of friend doesn't study with you, but can come to pick you up for a walk every three days?"

Wang Yang was at a loss: "No way?"

Xu Zhiyuan gave him a sympathetic look: "You deserve to be single all your life, I think you should stop stuttering, go and treat your brain first."

When Xu Zhiyuan was talking non-stop, his brother was beside him peeling shrimp.

Wang Yang was so angry by Xu Zhiyuan that he said, "You—you mean me? You're not single either!"

Xu Zhiyuan chuckled: "I'm single, but I have my brother, do you have one?"

Wang Yang did not, Wang Yang was very angry.

Because it is a new store, the proprietress brought the waiters and ran to the table to ask them how the taste is and if there is any room for improvement.

Wang Yang talked nonsense, which amused the little girl. After she left, he said triumphantly: "Don't—don't underestimate me, as long as I want, those who like me can walk two blocks away from here!"

Xu Zhiyuan sneered: "Yes, you are so capable, why don't you find one quickly?"

Wang Yang hesitated and said, "No—I don't feel it."

Xu Zhiyuan took a piece of mutton from his brother's hand: "Tell me what kind you like, maybe brother can introduce one for you."

Wang Yang's doubtful eyes drifted over: "I don't—I don't believe it. If you are good—you will introduce it to me? Keep it for yourself."

Xu Zhiyuan frowned, and slapped Wang Yang on the back of the head: "Ask you, don't talk about me, I don't need a partner!"

Wang Yang was in pain, and patted his head: "Now you let me suddenly say how I..."

Suddenly, his twinkling eyes stopped on Mei Jing and slid from his face to his neck.He remembered the last time when he ate hot pot, because it was too hot, Mei Jing's open collar showed a piece of white snow, and it turned slowly into powder, what a beautiful sight.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Liang Chen suddenly stuffed a large piece of sesame seed cake into Wang Yang's mouth.

"Where are you looking?"

Wang Yang's face changed, and he turned his eyes away.Mei Jing blinked, still with an innocent look on his face, because of the heat, beads of sweat appeared on his nose, Liang Chen helped him gently wipe it off, and by the way, Mei Jing's face blushed again.

Xu Zhiyuan supported his head with one hand, and with the other hand, he dangled a chopstick to beat the beat: "It's so good to be in love, it's so good."

Xu Wenyuan paused for adding soup to him.

The newly opened barbecue restaurant is crowded with people at dinner time, and there is not enough manpower when it is busy. In addition to the two waiters, there is also a small helper who looks about the same age as them.Listening to the frequent customers in the store chatting with the boss, this little helper is his own nephew, and he came to help out during school holidays.

The boss said: "The little bastard is also idle when he is idle. He came to do me a favor, and I can give him some pocket money, which is very good."

Hearing what the boss said, Wang Yang suddenly felt emotional: "Don't—don't say it, this is a way to make money."

Xu Zhiyuan asked him: "You don't have enough money for a month?"

"Enough is enough, but my mother checked my pocket money recently—the pocket money check is tight. If I can earn some extra money, I can hide what I buy from her. Hey, I heard that Hua Ge's store is currently recruiting workers, no Do you know how the treatment is?"

He talked to himself for a long time, Xu Wenyuan looked thoughtful.

The next day, Xu Wenyuan went to Hua Ge's store, and there was a job recruitment notice posted on the glass door: 7:8 a.m. to 800:[-] p.m., [-] for a month including food and lodging.

Xu Zhiyuan still disagreed with his part-time job as before, and dragged him out desperately.

"Brother, don't do this. If you want money, you can tell me. Really, I will give you all the New Year's money I saved in the past few years. There are thousands of dollars!"

Several thousand can indeed be regarded as a big family at this moment, but Xu Wenyuan doesn't want it.If his father wants to go to the city for treatment, he will definitely need money, and the Xu family's current emergency also needs money.

There is a lack of money everywhere, and he can't tell Xu Zhiyuan that he only hopes that his brother can live in the shelter all the time, happy and carefree.

Xu Wenyuan patted his younger brother's head and said, "I have other plans, keep the money for yourself."

"But how do you explain it to my parents?"

Xu Yongshan and Jiang Xiaomei objected to him going to work at the beginning. They felt that adults should worry about money and children should concentrate on studying. If they go again now, they will definitely not agree.

"I'll talk to them when I get home."

Seeing Xu Wenyuan's steadfast look, Xu Zhiyuan suddenly thought about Liang Chen's abandonment of high school, he was a little panicked, so he grabbed his brother's sleeve: "Brother, don't you want to study?"

Xu Wenyuan was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

"No, I'm just... I'm just afraid that you'll delay your studies. I think it's more important to study than to make money... So if you have any difficulties, you can...I can..."

The eloquent Xu Zhiyuan was sweating profusely.

Xu Wenyuan turned around and touched his brother's face: "Zhiyuan, I will definitely read the book, don't worry, I have my own arrangements, can you try to trust me?"

Xu Zhiyuan was still trying to persuade him, but Xu Wenyuan had already pushed open the glass door and walked in.

"Brother Hua, I see you have a recruitment form posted outside, do you want to recruit?"

There are not many people in the store right now after class, and there are still regular customers in twos and threes.Brother Hua heard the sound and ran out from the back kitchen, along with Sister Hua who appeared frequently recently.

Xu Zhiyuan felt it was weird, every time he saw Sister Hua and Brother Hua together, this person was full of peach blossoms, as if he had done something shameful in the back kitchen.

He thought, can't you?The two of them looked... It didn't look like they could roll together.

Brother Hua was not too surprised to hear what Xu Wenyuan said, but he said that he didn't want to recruit students.

"One is that you have to go to class during the day, and I want to hire someone who can do it all the time. The second is that I want to be experienced."

Xu Wenyuan put down his schoolbag, flexed his wrist a few times, and said to the man, "I can come over right after class. It doesn't matter if the salary is a little less. For the daytime shift, you can find another one that pays by the hour, which may be better than your monthly payment." Be cost-effective. As for proficiency, although I haven't done it before, I can learn quickly, can you let me try it first, and then decide whether to use it or not?"

Brother Hua thought for a while, and suddenly asked him a question: "Why do you want to work?"

Xu Wenyuan said honestly: "Because I need money."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhiyuan suddenly felt as if a stone had been stuck in his heart, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

What Xu Wenyuan did was like telling him that his parents brought this man out of their hometown, not only did they not protect him, but also made his brother's life more difficult because of the high prices in big cities.

It was their wishful thinking that took his brother to a place that might not be better than the original.

He suddenly discovered that Xu Wenyuan actually had many things that he didn't know about, his plans, his thoughts, including why he was short of money.He thought he knew his brother very well, but he didn't. He was simply well protected by Xu Wenyuan.

Sister Hua was wearing a baggy coat that didn't fit his size, and she was lazily leaning against the kitchen door, watching Brother Hua teach Xu Wenyuan how to knead dough.

This was also the first time Xu Zhiyuan watched his brother cook seriously.

The young man's bones had already grown, and he rolled up his sleeves to reveal his beautiful little arms. When he exerted force, the muscles on his arms were balanced and plump, with smooth lines, and his knuckles pressed and kneaded the dough, showing slight pulsation of blue veins.He was very quiet when he was doing things, his eyes were focused and peaceful, as if he was studying a very remarkable thing.

He is very different from those boys of the same age who run around the classroom with girls' papers.

Such a stable yet suddenly distant person, the hormones exuding at this moment, are as sexy as an aphrodisiac to Xu Zhiyuan.
