I was attacked by the cubs raised

Li Qiu and Yan An relaxed their minds casually, and found a restaurant to sit down and eat.

When the lights came on, Qi Yang had faintly shown the vitality of the new city in recent years, and more people went out on the streets at night.

Although his income has increased in recent years, Li Qiu prefers the small fly shop on the street.I planned to take Yan An to the 'old place' once, but thinking about what happened before, I was afraid of meeting those people again—after all, Yan An hadn't fully grown up yet, and Li Qiu didn't want him to see more bloody and violent incidents like this .Therefore, the two took a seat at another food stall.

Halfway through the dishes, Li Qiu felt a little emotional: "Speaking of which, I really haven't been to the 'old place' with you."

"Next time." Yan An conveniently poured Li Qiu a glass of beer.

I don't know if it was intentional, but the wine in this glass is less than half, and most of it is white foam floating on it.

Li Qiu took it and smiled: "Good boy, I don't even want to pour more wine for your brother."

Yan An's eyelashes drooped slightly, and his tone was obedient: "I'm afraid you'll be so drunk that I won't be able to find my way home."

"It's just beer. I can blow a case by myself." Li Qiu didn't take it seriously, and reached out to take the bottle to refill, but Yan An stopped him.

The boy frowned, with an unhappy expression: "Brother, the injury hasn't healed yet."

It's a truth.

Li Qiu was taken care of by him for a few days when he was hospitalized, and he still felt a little guilty.In addition, Yan An was doing it for his own good, so he could only withdraw his half-stretched hand angrily.

However, it is very rare for him to listen to others' discipline, not to mention the younger brother that the other party has brought up since childhood.Once Li Qiu had a mouth addiction, he couldn't help putting on a show, muttering a few words: "Salty fuck the radish and don't worry about it—I will definitely avoid you when I find you a sister-in-law in the future."

Yan An's face turned pale.

Fortunately, it couldn't be seen under the incandescent light, and Li Qiu didn't intend to look at his expression, just stretched out his hand to peel the shrimp.Yan An took a few deep breaths before recovering, and was about to speak when Li Qiu stuffed the shrimp into his mouth involuntarily.

Yan An's heart was sour for no reason, and he ate it tastelessly, not knowing whether to be happy or sad first.

Probably the shrimp gave him courage, he finally found his own voice, and tentatively asked, "Are you looking for a girlfriend?"

"Ah?" Li Qiu said something purely on his mind, and actually had no plans for love at all.But when Li Qiu asked, he still answered honestly: "It should be, but..."

He hadn't finished speaking when someone weighed heavily on his shoulder.

Take another shot.This slap involved a back injury, and he gasped immediately: "Can you strike a little lightly?"

The visitor let out a hey hey, walked to the seat next to him and sat down.He looked at Yan An who stood up instinctively at the moment Li Qiu hissed, and waved his hands: "Hey, don't react so loudly, your brother is not made of water."

"Thank you, Cheng..."

"I was wrong, I was wrong." Xie Cheng smiled and dodged Li Qiu's kick, took a bite of food with his chopsticks, and caught it in his bowl when Li Qiu launched his next attack. With a chopstick dish, he said flatteringly: "Didn't this person know that you have an injury on your back, so they didn't hit you?"

Li Qiu didn't intend to make things difficult for him, so he ate the food in the bowl with a cold snort.

"Miss me? I heard it when I called today. I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Xie?" Xie Cheng smiled meanly, "The food I picked up is better than the ones on the table, right? ?”

Li Qiu was speechless and choked, he really couldn't find any words to fight back, so he gave Master Xie a slap in the face.

Xie Cheng received Li Qiu's signal, and happily winked at him.

Li Qiu: ...vomit.

Talking about disgust, it is still very exciting to reunite with an old friend who has not seen for a long time.Li Qiudan looked at Xie Cheng's playful appearance, and relaxed his deliberately stern face, showing a sincere smile: "You run fast, and you came here not long after you sent the message."

"How can it be? Didn't I just finish sending grandma back? I happened to be strolling in this street, so it's close." Xie Cheng took a sip of the beer Yan An handed over, "I didn't say , Xiao An, really don’t think your brother is so precious—a few years ago, he went out to fight every three days, his skin was rough, his flesh was thick, and he was very tough.

Yan An instantly turned red, almost biting his own tongue.

Xie Cheng didn't understand, so: "It shouldn't be, is the brat brought out by my brother Lizi so thin-skinned?"

Li Qiu gave Xie Cheng an elbow angrily: "Fuck you, don't think that everyone can stand your rough words like me, and you have spoiled my children."

"Dele, I don't belong to your family." Xie Cheng knew he was wrong, so he quickly changed the topic, "Lizi, what do you think about the demolition of your house?"

Li Qiu called him here mainly because of this matter, immediately put away his nonsense, took a sip of beer, and said: "Grandma means to ask for a house, where are you?"

This is undoubtedly the most suitable choice for Li Qiu.They don't have another house to live in, and it's useless to ask for compensation.Xie Cheng's house is in the same demolition planning area as him, and the situation is similar to his. Li Qiu knew that his friend would make the same choice as him, so he just asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Xie Cheng said: "I... probably want money."

Li Qiu was taken aback: "Then where do you live?"

Xie Cheng didn't say anything immediately, he lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of food before saying, "Zuu."

"There is a new house for you to rent, why do you want the money..." Li Qiu suddenly realized something, and asked tentatively, "How is Grandpa Xie recently?"

"It's not very good. I just had hemodialysis two days ago." Xie Cheng leaned half his body on the back of the chair, a little tired, "Follow-up treatment will cost money, I..."

Li Qiu's expression was solemn: "Well, my hospital has a large area, so I can pay more. You can use it when the time comes. It's not enough for us to figure out a solution together."

Xie Chengdao: "I just came to talk to you, I didn't want your money - what do you think of a brother?"

Before Li Qiu could speak, he let out a long breath, like a deflated ball: "I was a little rushed just now, I'm sorry. I don't want to say that."

"Don't tell me these foreign words, you are blocked, I know."

"Lizi, I really can't have you." Xie Cheng held Li Qiu's hand, "You are not alone, Xiaoan still has to go to school, do you have the heart to let him live in a crappy house with you?"

Li Qiu was choked up by this question.

Xie Cheng ignored it, and said to himself: "In two or three years, he will grow up. Thinking back to when he was a child, he didn't even live in a clean house. Do you have the heart to let him live like this?"

Li Qiu was about to say that there is nothing he can't bear, the children of poor people are already in charge of their families.But still involuntarily glanced at Yan An, this glance made him feel a little unbearable.

Almost at the same time, Yan An said: "I'm fine, I can go anywhere with my brother."

Seeing that the two elder brothers were silent, he took up his own words again: "If my brother doesn't want me, I don't know where I can pick up rubbish to eat at this time-where can I not live? I will repair the old house, as long as it is in harmony with it. ..."

Li Qiu slammed the bowl on the table: "Enough!"

Yan An suddenly raised his head to look at Li Qiu, his eyes were astonished.

"My lord's business, what kind of trouble do you want to make, what do you know?!"

Yan An's hanging hands gradually clenched into fists.

...and so on.

Again.

He suddenly felt powerless.Yan An took a deep breath and let go of his hand helplessly: "You always say that I don't understand, but... forget it, I will go back first."

After all, he didn't care about the reactions of Li Qiu and Xie Cheng, and walked back almost without looking.

It's just that when Yan An turned around and ran on the way home, he suddenly remembered Li Qiu's expression the moment he threw the bowl.

Those eyes, which he had dreamed countless times, seemed to glisten under the light of the incandescent lamp.

------

"You just let people leave like this? Don't stop them?" Xie Cheng stood up to stop Yan An the moment he left, but was grabbed by Li Qiu, who could only watch Yan An go away.

"Don't care about him, he's not a child anymore, he can find his way home." Li Qiu pressed his eyebrows, "This temper, he can't be cured."

But when he said this, he regretted it in his heart—Yan An's aggrieved look with his head bowed when he stood up, and the way he wiped away his tears when he left, all of them severely whipped him in his heart.

Xie Cheng let out a cold snort from his nostrils: "Now you know that he is not a child? Don't you feel slapped in the face by what you said when you were nosy?"

"Wrong, wrong." Li Qiu kept replaying Yan An's red eyes when he turned around in his mind, he was so worried that he couldn't even eat, and his heart was over, this really made him sad, how could he coax him back?

"To be honest, you gave me a shock just now." Xie Cheng poured himself a glass, "It's quite hurtful, even an outsider like me thinks it hurtful."

"Ah, is that so..." Li Qiu unconsciously clenched his wine glass tightly.

"You said that someone kindly wanted to share some of the burden with you, but it wasn't the kind that just said but didn't do it—I helped you do everything the kid can do, right? I came to your house for dinner several times last month. He cooked the dishes."

"It's good for you, you always say that children don't understand, and create class/class conflicts, you are."

Li Qiu was speechless by what he said, and it took him a long time to find his voice, trying to justify: "I just don't want him to bear these too early."

"At his age, when he is growing up, it is a good thing to want to share with the family. First, you can't let him never learn to be independent, and second, you don't have the strength to let him live a carefree life. Why should you restrain him? What about your nature?"

"..." Li Qiu said, "You are right."

"It's funny to say, I just don't want him to be like me." Li Qiu smiled self-deprecatingly, "Just like me—tired by life ahead of time, bowing to reality ahead of time. I think he can be carefree, Just leave these things to me. But I still haven’t been able to fulfill this small wish, and when I think about it, I feel a little useless and accomplish nothing.”

Xie Cheng patted him on the shoulder: "There is no one who doesn't want their juniors to have a bad life. You are already doing well, so don't put so much pressure on yourself."
