I was attacked by the cubs raised

It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, so Li Qiu had no choice but to take Yan An downstairs to drink two bowls of porridge at Uncle Zhang's shop, and then took him out to do some shopping.

When he was first adopted, Li Qiu planned to raise him poorly to save some child support.But the little guy is too lovable. After seeing him as a younger brother, he is reluctant to do so.Yan An was wearing a baggy T-shirt, and his hair was uneven, completely incompatible with his delicate face, as scruffy as a beggar.

It was early autumn, Li Qiu first took him to buy some autumn and winter clothes, and then bought some underwear and a change of shoes and socks.Li Qiuqiong is a little poor, but his aesthetics are not bad.In order to make the children look better - the so-called clothes and horses depend on the saddle, he still chose good-looking clothes for Yan An in terms of economy and appearance, and took him to have a haircut. Only then did Yan An truly complete the process of "reborn" , just like an urban trendy boy.

Li Qiu was happy to see him put on new clothes and cut his hair.He rubbed Yan An's little head and whistled, "Hey, Xiao An, fashion!"

Yan An didn't understand English yet, so he blinked at Li Qiu.He probably judged his brother's meaning from his tone, blushed, hugged his little brother again, and rubbed his head on Li Qiu's lower abdomen twice.

Li Qiu was amused by the little guy's shy look, picked him up and turned him around twice, both of them laughed.Li Qiu looked at Yan An's innocent smiling face, but felt a little distressed—the budget of 500 yuan was spent all over the place this morning.From this point of view, it is really not easy to raise a cub.He has to work harder to make money.

Had lunch outside and put things home.Li Qiu plans to take him to find his grandma.On the day of adopting Yan An, Li Qiu sent a message to his grandma to ask for her consent—actually, it was not necessary at all, it was better called a notice than a solicitation.Sure enough, Grandma Li replied him with a text message at that time, saying that she still has some savings, so it doesn't matter if she brings a child.

At the end, another text message was attached, which said: Play mahjong, don't disturb.

Li Qiu: "..."

Li Qiu put on the helmet for Yan An, and was about to start the love ride, when he suddenly remembered that he wanted to buy almonds for his grandma - in his memory, since he went to school, grandma never ate almonds again.Because it is too expensive.

He asked Yan An to wait for him beside Aiqi, and went to the grocery store to buy a catty of almonds and half a catty of pistachios.Li Qiu returned to Aiqi, only to find that Yan An was gone.

He broke out in a cold sweat - Yan An is very obedient and sensible, and very clingy.Such an obedient little pug will generally not run around casually.Could it be that Wang Laojiu came out again?Or some motherless abducted Yan An?

Li Qiu walked along the road for a long time, but there was no sign of Yan An on the road.He suddenly didn't know what to do next, so he could only walk back.What should we do at this time?Call the police?But what's the use of calling the police?There are not many cameras installed in this place, and there are many gangsters and human traffickers. Finding Yan An is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

His younger brother—the younger brother he only recognized, the little thing who had been clinging to him, without even saying goodbye, had left his life so abruptly, and he suddenly hated the little bastard who made this place a mess.

He poohed and cursed, "You idiot."——completely forgetting that he is also a bastard in this area.

Back beside Aiqi, he suddenly wanted to try his luck and go to the street where the grocery store was.As soon as I walked to the street, I saw a small figure lying on the window outside the cake shop adjacent to the shop.It was Yan An.The joy that was lost and found in Li Qiu's heart suddenly spread from the bottom of his heart, he quickly ran over to hug Yan An, wanted to hit him but couldn't do it.

Yan An was fascinated by the cakes in the window, and was suddenly hugged by someone, startled and struggling desperately.Seeing that it was Li Qiu, she let her guard down again and obediently let him hug her.

Li Qiu had already calmed down at this moment, this shock inevitably made him a little angry.He patted Yan An's butt lightly, and scolded, "Didn't I tell you to stay there? Why are you running around?"

Yan An whimpered and whispered, "I'm sorry..."

He is still young, and he speaks in a childish voice, with very long endings.Not to mention Li Qiu, even the little girl working in the cake shop couldn't bear it very much, and even looked at Li Qiu to imply reproach.

Li Qiu: "..."

Naturally, he couldn't criticize anymore, so he could only pick it up high and put it down gently, "Don't do this next time. If you lose it, you can't find it—you know best."

Yan An hummed twice, and obediently held Li Qiu's hand.Li Qiu was about to take him away when he suddenly noticed that Yan An was still looking at the window reluctantly.

Li Qiu took a look, it turned out that there was an extremely delicately decorated birthday cake displayed in the cupboard, which was indescribably beautiful under the yellowish light.

"Want to eat?"

Yan An's eyes rarely showed an extremely obvious look of longing.His eyes slid over the little strawberries on the cake, carefully watching the cake from the beginning to the end, so serious that Li Qiu felt that the child wanted to engrave it in his mind.

The little girl in the store saw it and asked, "Is it the kid's birthday? Do you want to buy one?"

Li Qiu suddenly remembered that he didn't know Yan An's birthday yet.To be precise, he still doesn't know how old the younger brother in front of him is.

Yan An looked away from the cake, glanced at Li Qiu, and then at the little girl.Most of the girls like children, not to mention that Yan An is so cute, they couldn't help smiling at him.Yan An turned his head away, his eyes stayed on the price of the cake, he suddenly squeezed Li Qiu's hand, and said before him, "No."

Li Qiu didn't have much money in the first place, and he secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Yan An's words.He also shook his head to the little girl, and led Yan An towards Aiqi.On the way, Li Qiu suddenly asked, "How old is Xiao An? When is his birthday?"

Yan An stopped.He thought about it for a long, long time, but there seemed to be no exact number.After a long time, Yan An raised his head and smiled, "I don't remember."

Li Qiu felt his heart being pinched suddenly, unable to speak.Yan An's expression seemed to be mixed with apology.He seemed to be sorry for not being able to answer such a simple question of his brother, so he covered it up with a smile—Yan An knew that his brother liked to see him smile very much.

From the sincere smile that day, Li Qiu keenly caught every trace of sadness.Yan An is really too careful, even though he trusts himself infinitely, the days of wandering and being abandoned have already left a mark on him.

Yan An's voice came again lightly, "Birthday...it doesn't matter, every day is the same. Brother...I still remember my name."

He felt more and more uncomfortable.

The tires rubbed against the ground, making a 'coaxing' sound. When the car was started, the dust floated in the air, making the sun shine a little psychedelic.Li Qiu took one last look in the direction of the cake shop, and then ran to the distance.

All the way without words.When I got out of the car again, I was in front of a big house, which was a nursing home. The wooden sign hanging on the door was written in red paint with the three characters "Sunset Red". The security guard sitting in the reception room raised his eyelids lazily, Zhao Liqiu nodded, closed his eyes and took a rest.Li Qiu pushed aside the wooden fence, walked through the small courtyard, and walked into the innermost room. He saw an old man with gray hair and wrinkled face sitting at the table playing mahjong with three old ladies like her.

He raised his eyebrows, walked up to the old man, and said, "Grandma."

"Here we come." The old man played a card, and looked up at him as if he was "taking time out of his busy schedule" while he was thinking about going home, "Just put your things, don't make noise."

Li Qiu was speechless for a while, "No...Grandma, I brought Yan An to see you. I also brought you almonds."

She gave Li Qiu a blank look, then turned her head away, "Flower on the bar, touch yourself."

Fortunately for them, this game is over.Grandma Li bid farewell to her poker friends, and "took some time" to look at the two of them.Being stared at by Grandma Li, Yan An was at a loss and hid behind Li Qiu, only showing half of his head.

"What a lovely boy. How old is he? What's his name?"

"It's Yan An. Grandma, he's afraid of life." Li Qiu pushed Yan An towards grandma.Yan An accepted Grandma Li's touch awkwardly.

"Yan An...a good name. Don't be afraid of me, grandma is much better than your unreliable brother."

Before Li Qiu could refute, Yan An had already said, "Brother is reliable...Brother is very good."

Sure enough, it was his own cub.Li Qiu smiled brightly, "Look, the brat is looking at me."

"That's because I haven't brought him before." Grandma snorted, "The one you brought will not kiss you, you really failed."

Li Qiu chuckled, Yan An also knew that the old man in front of him was a person whom Li Qiu attached great importance to, and he didn't reject her extra intimate gestures too much.Grandma grabbed Yan An's hand and asked questions, and he answered as much as he could honestly.

Grandma Li gave Yan An a warm and friendly feeling, just like what he felt from Li Qiu back then.It's just that Grandma Li's intimacy is more obvious.

Yan An was hugged by grandma, listening to Li Qiu and grandma talking about the family.

Li Qiu suddenly patted his thigh, "Damn, I forgot. Grandma, I have to go first and go to the police station to go through the formalities for the little guy."

Grandma hugged Yan An, heard the words, raised her eyelids, and asked calmly, "What do you rely on?"

"Wrong, wrong... I won't say it next time. Please forgive me." Li Qiu smiled apologetically.

"Next time you say this kind of nonsense in front of Xiaoan, you will be finished."

Li Qiu muttered, "Don't you also have those vulgar words..."

"What did you say?"

"Grandma is beautiful, dignified, elegant, and has a long life—" Li Qiu hurriedly said, dodging the slippers that flew from grandma, "Slip away. Xiao An is having fun with our empress dowager."

"Look at your brother's virtue. Xiao An, don't be like him in the future, you bastard." Grandma put on the slippers, and found a stack of rhyme cards from the cabinet—it was bought for Li Qiu when she was a child. "Come, come, grandma will teach you how to read and write..."

------

When Li Qiu came back, it was already dusk.Standing outside the door, he heard the voice of grandma and Yan An reading, and he felt a sense of belonging like family in his heart.It seems that as long as grandma and Yan An are there, the dilapidated small courtyard is home, and the simple nursing home is also home.Li Qiu, a young man, suddenly understands the reason why adults are willing and loving to contribute to their families—just to see the people they care about live well, and that is enough.

He walked into the room, and Yan An sat on the chair, his legs dangling slightly.Grandma was right next to him, talking to him like a child.Seeing Li Qiu approaching, Yan An suddenly stood up and rushed towards him, almost knocking Li Qiu down.Li Qiu said, "Okay, I'm back. Guess what I bought?"

Li Qiu put the things on the table, opened the box, and saw the cake that was exactly the same as what Yan An saw in the window.
