sweet kiss bitter summer

Of course Tan Chen was not the biological child of the Liang family.

When he was about six years old, he moved here with his biological parents from other places. He lived at No. 34 Wang Street, next door to Liang Luoan's house.

On the night when their family settled down, Liang Luo'an met Tan Chen, this elder brother who was a year older than him, taller, who looked like he might bully others, but also seemed very reliable.

These impressions are of course not groundless.

Because the neighbors in Liwang Street have a good relationship on weekdays, when they see new neighbors moving in, they will naturally help if they can.

So Liang Luo'an was sent to Tan Chen's house by Liang's mother, and sent some eggs and lemon honey made by them.

At that time, there were a lot of children on the street, and the naughtier boys liked to get together. When the adults couldn't watch them, the street bully would bully people every now and then.

Unfortunately, just a few steps away from a yard, Liang Luo'an, who was carrying a basket of eggs, became their target.

Children also know that Liang Luoan is a bully.

When he was a child, he was in poor health. He was thin and white, and his skin was white and glutinous. He had a meek and shy personality. He didn't dare to say anything when he was bullied.

Liang Luo'an struggled to carry the basket, swaying it. As soon as he reached the gate of No. 33 courtyard, a few children of the same age passed him by and snatched the lemon honey in the basket.

Liang Luo'an was taken aback, and when he found that there was something missing in the basket, it was as if the sky had fallen, and he ran after those boys yelling meaningless syllables all the way.

With Liang Luo'an's poor athletic ability, he would definitely not be able to catch up with them, but Lemon Honey finally got into Tan Chen's hands.

At that time, Tan Chen came out from Gate 34 to take out the trash, and the boy who snatched the lemon honey jar looked back at Liang Luoan's embarrassing appearance, and without paying attention, he bumped into Tan Chen directly.

At the same time, Liang Luoan squatted behind and began to cry loudly.

Tan Chen has been very smart since he was a child. He understood what happened in about half a second, and then took half a second to knock the little boy who was holding the jar to the ground. Moreover, Tan Chen was tall, with short hair, and looked down at his peers expressionlessly, so he looked very intimidating, scaring the little bullies to put down their things and run away.

A few seconds later, Tan Chen walked up to Liang Luoan with a jar of lemon honey. He didn't speak, but just squatted down and looked at Liang Luoan's weeping face for a long time.

Liang Luo'an wiped his face in a daze, looked at the person in front of him, and asked, "Are you the new neighbor of No. 34?" "Yes."

Tan Chen hadn't recovered from what happened just now, he cherished words like gold, and dragged him to death.

Liang Luo'an was so wronged, his mouth shrunk, he didn't dare to make a sound, tears fell one by one, like a deer drenched in water.

"you you."

Tan Chen immediately failed and put the jar of lemon honey back into the basket at a loss. Liang Luo'an hadn't stopped crying. In order to coax him, Tan Chen told him: "If you don't cry now, I will treat you to shaved ice tomorrow." .”

Liang Luo'an heard it, but didn't speak, hiccupped and stopped crying, and threw the basket on the ground in front of Tan Chen.

"For me?" Tan Chen deliberately lowered his voice and asked, for fear of scaring the timid soft meat dumpling in front of him.

Then, Liang Luo'an turned around and ran home in a futile manner.

But the next day, Liang Luo'an really ate the shaved ice from Tan Chen. The lemon flavor had already melted a little when it was delivered to him, but he sat on the threshold and ate it all. Tan Chen passing by said thank you, Tan Chen didn't say anything, just smiled at him.

Later, Liang Luo'an knew that Tan Chen could bully others, but he wouldn't bully him; in fact, he didn't know what reliability was at the time, but he knew that he liked Tan Chen very much.

It's a pity that such a good day didn't last long.

It was only later that the neighbors found out that Papa Tan was the owner of a small pharmaceutical factory. The factory owed money and went bankrupt, and he came here with his wife and children.

Later, the debt collectors pressed hard, and after smashing the door of No. 34 once, Dad Tan disappeared overnight and never appeared again.

Tan's mother was pregnant at the time, and took Tan Chen to Tan Chen's aunt's house in the county. I don't know if it was because of the influence of all the hard work during this period. After she gave birth to Tan Xin, Tan Chen's younger sister, she died of dystocia. .

A few months later, one morning, Tan Chen suddenly ran back, alone, with some symbolic luggage, and sat at the door of No. 34 for an unknown how long.

He has nowhere to go.

Because his aunt's family was not rich, he had heard his aunt begging his uncle, but the final conclusion was that only one of him and his sister could be left behind.

When Liang Luo'an got up that day, Tan Chen was standing under the lemon tree in the yard, expressionless.

Liang Luo'an was very surprised at the time, he hadn't seen Tan Chen for almost a year, because Tan Chen left without saying hello, he thought he would never see Tan Chen again, and cried for a whole day Three or four days.

After a while, Liang's father and Liang's mother came out of the house and called them to have breakfast. So at the dinner table, when Liang Luo'an was trying to use chopsticks to eat porridge with difficulty, he had an extra person who could feed the porridge into his mouth with a spoon. elder brother.

But Liang Luo'an hardly ever called Tan Chen "brother", unless he had something to please.

Although Tan Chen liked hearing Luo An call him "brother", he never minded these things.

Because he could tell that Liang Luo'an really liked calling him by his name.

"Tan Chen, Tan Chen, Tan Chen, Tan Chen—" Early in the morning, Liang Luo'an was wearing short-sleeved shorts, as thin as a misty mist, standing under the lemon tree, seeing Tan Chen coming out of the house, tirelessly It seemed that he called his name many times, as if urging him.

"Why do you get up so early?" Tan Chen walked over, lightly touched Liang Luo'an's white arm with his palm, and frowned, "It's cold, is it cold?" "Who would be cold in summer?" ah."

Liang Luo'an shrank her neck and complained a little unwillingly: "Didn't you go to see your mother? I have been waiting for a long time, Tan Chen, you are so slow."

Tan Chen was a little surprised: "Are you going too?" "Yes, let's go together."

Liang Luo'an nodded of course.

"Uncles and aunts usually don't let you go."

Tan Chen has always had no choice but to use Liang's parents and Liang's mother to suppress him.

Zuo is simply because Liang Luoan is not in good health, and he is wary of some superstitious statements that would rather be believed or not. Every time Tan Chen goes to visit his mother in the cemetery, Liang's father and Liang's mother will not let Luo'an go with him, for fear The yin is too heavy, or it has collided with something bad.

"Then I'll wait outside, I won't go in."

Liang Luo'an is the most cheating towards Tan Chen, "Good Tan Chen, let me follow, I've been waiting for you for so long, and you still left me at home alone."

"No."

Tan Chen refused, bent down a little, supported Liang Luoan's shoulders and pushed him into the room.

"Don't, don't, Tan Chen, help me."

Liang Luo'an wrinkled his nose, like a pitiful little animal, rubbed his hands and begged Tan Chen for mercy, "I took a shower last night, and I forgot to lower the temperature of the water heater, it seems to be burnt out, my parents must wake up If you want to focus on me again, I will be scolded badly, if it is more serious, maybe you won’t see me when you come back!" Liang Luoan stuck to Tan Chen, and grabbed his hand affectionately and pitifully , "It's easy to talk about Chen, please, let's go together."

Tan Chen looked at him for a while, and then looked at the water heater. The light was off, and it was useless to press the switch. It seemed that it was really broken.

But he didn't say anything, went back to the room and took his own thin coat, and put it on Liang Luo'an.

Liang Luo'an and Tan Chen's body shape are much different. Tan Chen wears the right clothes, and Liang Luo'an wears clothes that can cover his butt, but he still swings his two sleeves that are too long and wraps them around Tan Chen's waist. Diandi followed Tan Chen out.

"Tan Chen, you are the best."

Liang Luo'an said flatteringly.

Tan Chen sighed, very helpless: "I don't care about you if you get sick later."
