The daydream of a salted fish stand-in

After returning home, Yan Suiyuan transferred [-] yuan to Zhiqiu's class teacher for supplementary tuition, and put down the phone without being too lazy to be courteous with her. If he wasn't afraid that she would embarrass Zhiqiu at school, he wouldn't even want to give this money. But the reality is so pale, the child is in the hands of others, and the parents dare not gamble.

Tonight Zhuo Yangbing also had dinner at home, the table was quiet, and the atmosphere was much more serious than when only Yan Suiyuan and Aunt Zhang were at home.Zhuo Yangbing sat in the first place, Yan Suiyuan was on his left, and Aunt Zhang sat on the right. The three bowed their heads and none of them spoke, because Zhuo Yangbing didn't like any movement while eating, and the rules were strict.

He has very good dining etiquette. It can be seen that his tutor was good when he was a child. He took every bite of food, rice, and soup in a very strict manner. Yan Suiyuan observed that he was serious about drinking soup with a spoon in his hand. For some reason, he remembered those in kindergarten. Children, it seems that eating is a big and serious matter in their eyes, their little expressions are serious and serious, and they are cute and cute.

He couldn't hold back a chuckle, Zhuo Yangbing stopped holding the spoon, turned his head and looked at him indifferently, with a little confusion in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why he suddenly laughed at himself, but he wasn't angry.

"I'm sorry." Yan Suiyuan apologized in a low voice, quickly put away his smile, blushed and lowered his head to continue eating.

Zhuo Yangbing stared at his face for a long time, then suddenly asked him: "You eat so little, is it enough?"

Yan Suiyuan was taken aback, and replied in a low voice: "Enough."

"Too little." Zhuo Yangbing frowned, expressing dissatisfaction with his appetite: "I've never seen a man who eats less than you. Are you 20 years old? No wonder you're so short."

Yan Suiyuan: "..."

Aunt Zhang also smiled and said at this time: "Isn't it? I said that Yuan Yuan's appetite is too small, like a girl, and she is also thin. I'm always afraid that he will be blown away by the strong wind."

I don't understand why the topic suddenly turned to the matter of my appetite, Yan Suiyuan was a little at a loss, thinking that Zhuo Yangbing strictly abides by the habit of not talking when eating or sleeping, why did he suddenly break the rules today?

"Since you've followed me, you have to be careful. I don't want to be told that I'm mean to you when I take you out in the future." Zhuo Yangbing said coldly, bowed his head and began to concentrate on drinking the soup again. His soup was clean, what coriander? You can't have chopped green onions, and you don't know how much fun is missing in life.

Yan Suiyuan was right when he thought about it, any benefactor wouldn't want his canary to look pleasing to the eye, so he obediently agreed.

After dinner, Yan Sui originally wanted to help his aunt wash the dishes, but she pushed her out with a wink, and asked him to deliver the fruit plate with a smile: "Mr. must be in the study now. After you go in, you can see that you need to live a little longer. He peels an apple and an orange to make him happy, and you can live in some comfort at home."

"Don't take it seriously, I'm thinking about your body."

"Okay." Yan Suiyuan agreed, since it was his duty to serve the benefactor anyway.

Holding a plate of melons and fruits, Yan Suiyuan knocked on the door of the study, and was allowed to enter after getting a reply.

Zhuo Yangbing was sitting upright in home clothes, reading a book in his hand, the cover was all in English and he couldn't understand it, Yan Suiyuan carefully put the fruit plate on the tea table, looked back and asked again: "Sir, Would you like an apple?"

"Yes." Zhuo Yang Bing didn't lift his head.

Yan Suiyuan lowered his head and took a fruit knife and started peeling. He had worked as an apprentice in a hotel kitchen for several months before, and learned some skills from the master chef. It is not difficult to peel apples and carve simple patterns. Zhiqiu likes to watch He carved a piglet, so he also carved one for Zhuo Yangbing.

"Sir, please eat." After he finished his work, he handed over the apple respectfully.

Zhuo Yangbing put down the book and reached out to pick it up, looking at the carved white and fat little pig in his hand in surprise, although it was far from the real master's carvings he saw in the five-star hotel, but it was also It can be seen that he is paying attention.

"Not bad." He raised his eyebrows and boasted, "You still have this skill?"

Yan Suiyuan put the apple peel into the trash can, and then replied: "I was an apprentice for a while before, and I can easily know two hands."

"You are young, but you have done a lot of work." Zhuo Yangbing nodded, took the little pig apple to look around, and finally bit off the little pig's ear. I don't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that today The apples seem to be a little sweeter than usual.

Yan Suiyuan lowered his head and began to peel the oranges for him again, quietly and silently.

Zhuo Yang ate the iced apple, his eyes shifted to Yan Suiyuan who was sitting on the sofa.So far, he is very, very satisfied with Yan Suiyuan, he is not noisy, he is not troublesome, he is beautiful, he is not a monster, and he is not annoying. If he can always be so gentle and caring to himself, he can consider extending the one-year deadline Some.

After arranging the finished fruit plate, Yan Suiyuan exited the study carefully, not disturbing the benefactor to read, very sensible.

After returning to the room, he received a call from Chi Lang, who happily said that the school had no classes recently, and he asked for leave to go home to attend his cousin's wedding, so he happened to be able to visit him nearby, and asked him if he would like to make an appointment.

Chi Lang was his best friend for three years in junior high school. Although he regretted not being able to go to high school in the end, the two still kept in touch. He was the only good friend for so many years. Hearing that he was coming back, Yan Of course Suiyuan was happy and made an appointment to meet next week.

The next two days were also very peaceful. Yan Suiyuan returned to his home on Friday night, because Zhiqiu was going to be on vacation, so he went to the store to get his scooter back, and arrived at home before Zhiqiu opened the door.

After helping her put away her schoolbag, the siblings happily went out to eat hot pot. They hadn't gone out to eat for a long time. Yan Suiyuan rode a scooter to the nearest shopping mall and queued up for a comfortable hot pot meal. , Zhiqiu was very happy all night, and finally had some liveliness that she should have at her age.

After dinner, Yan Suiyuan took her to buy clothes on the second floor. Now is the time for new spring clothes. The store windows are full of beautiful clothes with bright colors. It is dazzling to see. Many parents take their children out to go shopping. clothing.

The clothes Zhiqiu was wearing were bought last year. Yan Suiyuan always felt sorry for her, and planned to choose some clothes for her after the Spring Festival, so that she would not be talked about in school.

"Brother, I don't lack clothes." Zhiqiu hesitated and refused to go in. She knew the current situation at home, so she dared not burden him any more.

Yan Suiyuan raised his hand to touch her head, and assured her, "Brother has earned some money recently, which is just enough to buy you clothes. Zhiqiu doesn't have to worry about not having enough money."

"I really don't need it." Zhiqiu whispered, "My brother should buy clothes himself."

Yan Suiyuan didn't know much about food and clothing. Even if he had money, he couldn't think of buying some good clothes for himself. In his opinion, men don't need to dress up, and spending that money is a waste.But Zhiqiu is a girl, and other girls have beautiful clothes to wear, so Zhiqiu should also have them.

He dragged his younger sister into a random store, and listened to what the shopping guide had to say with great interest. He felt that everything was beautiful, pink and tender everywhere, and the girls' clothes were too cute.

Yan Suiyuan listened to the advice of the shopping guide lady, and took a light pink dress and showed it to Zhiqiu. He is a straight man with aesthetics, and he thinks that girls look good in pink, so he pushed her into the fitting room to change.

Zhiqiu hesitated for a long time before coming out. She touched the beautiful new dress on her body, not used to wearing such beautiful clothes, her hands and feet were nervous and didn't know where to put it.

She has fair skin and a slender figure, and she really looks good in a pink dress. Yan Suiyuan likes it no matter how she looks at it, but her eyes can't help being a little moist. They know that Qiu is so beautiful. If it weren't for the situation at home, she would have been like a normal girl Live like a little princess.

"Buy!" Yan Sui said loudly, "Look at this again!"

He just took advantage of his sister to go in to change clothes and picked out a few more, all of which were pink. Swallowed it back.

The elder brother's eyes are full of anticipation, which is too irresistible.

After trying it out, Yan Suiyuan's clothes look good, and the shopping guide on the other side tried his best to blow rainbow farts to him, blowing Zhiqiu up to heaven and earth, especially after wearing their clothes, he would look like a princess of!

If someone praised him like that, Yan Suiyuan wouldn't even lift his eyelids, but if someone else praised Zhiqiu like that, he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep at night. His sister is the most proud existence in his life, and in his heart, the whole world Can't find the second one.

Yan Zhiqiu stopped her brother's urge to get hot, and whispered, "I can't wear so many. I wear school uniforms all day long at school. You buy so many wastes."

"It's fine to wear it during holidays." Yan Suiyuan didn't care, he made money so that Zhiqiu could live a better life, otherwise why would he need money?

Yan Zhiqiu resolutely refused, and refused to let him take any more after picking only two. Yan Suiyuan couldn't persuade her, so he had to pay the money and sighed: "All other girls like new clothes, so you don't have to save it with me. I... now have a good job."

"It's easy and hassle-free, and the salary is high."

This is not a lie, it's just that Yan Suiyuan didn't dare to tell his sister about being taken care of by others, for fear that she would be sad.Yan Zhiqiu doesn't know about his job change yet, but he is happy to hear that he quit: "Brother, as long as he doesn't do takeout, I read on the Internet that takeaway riders are very dangerous, and they often get into car accidents to save time. I used to do it every day." Worried and scared."

The siblings strolled back all the way, and Yan Suiyuan bought her a lot of snacks along the way. It was already dark outside, and they walked hand in hand under the street lamps, and they didn't feel cold when the night wind in early spring blew on them.

"Zhiqiu, you study at school with peace of mind, and my brother will definitely let you live a good life."

Yan Suiyuan held his younger sister's hand tightly, just like picking her up after school when he was a child. Yan Zhiqiu didn't answer, but silently grasped his hand, and suddenly asked, "Brother, do you still remember your mother's message?" Does it look like?"

The smile on Yan Suiyuan's face gradually cooled down, and he was silent for a while before asking, "Why do you ask that?"

Yan Zhiqiu hesitated for a while: "We don't have a single picture of my mother at home. Sometimes I wonder what she would look like."

She raised her eyes and looked at Yan Suiyuan quietly, wiped the corners of her eyes quietly after her eyes were red, and said in a low voice: "I, I stained the stool in physics class a few days ago, and there is blood on the back of my pants."

"The other students all bought sanitary napkins for me in advance, but I..."

"Later, she was a physics teacher and she went to the canteen to buy for me."

"I was a little scared at the time, and I really wanted to have my mother to accompany me."

Yan Suiyuan's footsteps stopped at the same place, and his heart was so painful that he almost froze at that moment. If Zhiqiu hadn't said it himself, he would not have known about this incident.

"I'm sorry." Yan Suiyuan said in a hoarse voice, "It's all my fault."

Zhiqiu shook his head, "Why did brother apologize?"

"I, I won't mention my mother in the future, don't be sad."

Yan Suiyuan grasped his sister's hand tightly, unable to stand up for a long time.

Other girls spend their first menstrual period under the guidance of their mothers, and some even celebrate their daughter's growth in a small way.But their family conditions are not good, Zhiqiu's physical development is slower than others, and he is a man, so he doesn't know how to tell her this knowledge in advance, and he fails to help her in time, and makes her lose in front of the whole class. face.

At that time, Zhiqiu must have been terrified, right?

That night, the two siblings stood close to each other at the bridgehead for a long time, until there was no one on the side of the road, and then they walked home slowly. Yan Zhiqiu never mentioned anything about his mother all the way.
