I was attacked by the cubs raised

Yan An suddenly raised his head to look at Li Qiu.

"You can't remember how long your birthday is or how old you are, so I'll make an appointment for you—every year from now on, this day will be Xiao An's birthday." Li Qiu put his hands on top of his head, "This year Xiao An is 11 Years old, grandma is here, and we will live together as a family."

Grandma understood and helped Li Qiu light candles and turn off the lights.Yan An was stunned, only watching his brother and grandma preparing for his birthday, without making any moves.

There were no more than eleven candles, and the small room was illuminated by candlelight. Li Qiu and his grandma sang a happy birthday song to him, "Happy birthday to you..."

The flickering candlelight softened the young Li Qiu's sharp-edged face, making him look more like a grandma.The singing of blessings beside the ear is particularly beautiful.

Yan An remembered.

He hadn't been abducted by Wang Laojiu at that time, and was wandering alone on the street.That night, when he was huddled under the eaves of his family and was about to go to bed, there was a sudden cheer from the house, which startled him.

It turned out to be the family's child's birthday.He watched carefully from the window, and saw that the lights in the room were all off, only the candles on the cake gave off a faint light.The whole family gathered around the child and sang to him.

He is probably the same age as Yan An, the same age, but has a different situation.Yan An didn't eat a proper meal for several days, and in the midst of hunger and cold, he felt unreasonable envy for the children in the house—what did the cake taste like?

He planned to "ambush" in this place.After the family finished taking out the trash the next night, he finally found the leftover cake scraps in the trash can.

It was said to be residue, but in fact there was still enough for one person.They couldn't finish it and had to throw it away.In Yan An's eyes, this waste-like thing was like a delicacy, and he grabbed the cake as quickly as he could and took it away, hiding in the alley as if he had found a treasure.

His hands were covered with cream, and he tentatively licked it.A unique sweet smell mixed with the sour smell of garbage filled his taste buds - in summer, the cake was spoiled before it was put into the refrigerator.

There was still a sour taste on the tip of his tongue, but he hadn't eaten for too long, and his stomach hurt unbearably.Yan An was about to swallow it in one gulp, when he suddenly thought of the scene where the child's family celebrated his birthday that day.He also had no reason to want a sense of ceremony.

The street lamp was used as a candle, Yan An blew on it, and closed his eyes like a child, although he didn't know why he did it.He closed his eyes patiently for a while, and then opened his eyes. The shapeless cake pinched by his hands was being gnawed frantically by mice that sprang out from nowhere.

Yan An was stunned, he didn't even think of driving it away.The mouse gave him a contemptuous look until the cake on the ground was nothing but white flowers and a bit of cream, and then slid into the sewer calmly.

Not even the mice are afraid of him.He looked at the piece of butter, and the sour taste on the tip of his tongue became stronger.Yan An finally couldn't bear the nausea and threw up.

However, he could only make a meaningless retching sound - he hadn't eaten for so long, and there was only gastric juice in his stomach, what else could he vomit?

The singing of Li Qiu and grandma brought him back to reality.He looked at the cake in front of him—he had seen it in other people's homes, in shop windows, and now it was his.

He looked at the exquisite cake, as if he had finally come to the world.

Yan An suddenly reached out, grabbed a handful of the cake, and put it into his mouth.

...so sweet.

Li Qiu screamed, pulled a napkin to wipe his hands, and scolded Yan An while wiping, "I told you last time when I ate fried pork with green peppers, don't grab it with your hands, it's unhygienic. You bastard Why are you disobedient? You have to make a wish first, blow out the candles before eating, don’t be in a hurry, okay? No one will snatch it from you..."

After all, it is grandma who understands other people's emotions better.Seeing Yan An's appearance, she made a good guess, gouged out Li Qiu's eyes, and hugged Yan An in her arms, "Good boy... good boy, it's okay, it's okay..."

Grandma kissed Yan An on the face, "Xiao Shou Xing must give a kiss on his birthday, Xiaoqiu comes over and kisses his younger brother too."

Li Qiu kissed Yan An on the other side.

"Oh, the candles are almost burnt out. My dear, go and make a wish. You can't say your wish. After you finish your wish, blow out the candles. It will be smooth all year round."

It turns out that closing your eyes is to make a wish.

Yan An clasped his hands together and closed his eyes obediently.

Like a pious believer, he solemnly made his wish in his heart.

Blowing them out in one breath, there is only a stubble left of the candle.Li Qiu took a plastic knife and divided the cake.After the three of them shared their food, the sun was about to set, and it was time to go back.

Yan An went to the toilet, and now only he and grandma were left.Li Qiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Grandma... You see, I am quite overwhelmed by the addition of a little guy at home. Otherwise, you can come back."

"How can I come back? Didn't we sleep on the floor when it was just the two of us before? Now there are three people living together, how can we squeeze in?"

"I……"

"I understand what you mean. You think that grandma is old and should enjoy the blessings. It's time to bring grandma to live with her. But don't think about it, a child, and an old woman, let alone take care of her at ordinary times. , can you have so much money to support?"

Seeing that Li Qiu was silent, grandma patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I know that we, Xiao Qiu, are sensible and filial. This place is also arranged by the school for retired faculty and staff, and it doesn't cost money. There is still some retirement salary every month to pay for it." Take it, it's a pity."

After all, Li Qiu couldn't hold back her, so he took Yan An back home.

A few days later, Cheng Xue called to say that everything was settled, and asked Yan An and Cheng Ran to go to school together.

Yan An didn't go to school before, but he was a quick learner. Grandma taught her pinyin and arithmetic by analogy, so Li Qiu didn't have anything to worry about.After sending him to school, Li Qiu received a call from the boss of "Old Place", asking him to go to Qiyang bar with Xie Cheng in the afternoon.

Li Qiu drove Aiqi and Xie Cheng to the door of the bar together. Two young and Dangerous people outside looked them up and down, and brought them in with a sneer.Li Qiu felt uncomfortable seeing that look, and suppressed his attack.

In Qiyang Bar, it is common to see gangsters, Li Qiu followed them to the second floor, looking at the surrounding environment.The curtains on the entire second floor were drawn tightly, and only one light was on, making it even darker.

The two who led the way went upstairs and walked to the man with crossed legs in front of the leather sofa, and stood respectfully on each side.

Li Qiu knew in his heart that this was the so-called Boss Chen.Before he could speak, the man asked, "Yang Huashun said that you guys are good at fighting—who beat Wang Laojiu to the ground?"

Yang Huashun is the name of the owner of "Old Place".Li Qiu responded, "Me."

Through the dim light, Li Qiu couldn't see the man's expression clearly, he just felt that he had been looked at all over his body, as if after a century, the man lit a cigar but didn't smoke it, and said, "That's right. .”

Li Qiu: "..."

Oh, pretender.

His face was still calm, "Thank you, Boss Chen."

The man smiled and praised, his tone suddenly changed, and he said, "But I don't accept child labor."

Xie Cheng rushed in front of Li Qiu and said, "Is Brother Li a proper adult? Go out and find out who is the number one on Qiyang Road..."

Before he finished speaking, two silver lights flashed across.Sensing the danger, Li Qiu pushed Xie Cheng away with a sudden pounce, and took out the knife from his waist.

Xie Cheng looked back at the place where he was standing just now, two small silver knives were stuck on the floor.

His back turned cold, his face pale, he pointed to the man sitting on the sofa and said, "You, you..."

The man stubbed out the cigar at some point, and clapped his hands in praise, "Okay."

"It seems that Yang Huashun didn't lie to me, you really have some kung fu." The man's voice was low, sounding young, "It's just a friend who came with you, is this here to make up the numbers?"

Xie Cheng was extremely angry, but because of the two strong men standing behind him, his Adam's apple was rolling up and down, so he still held back his mouth.

Li Qiu said, "So, this is an interview?"

"Although I don't accept smart and immature brats, your reaction is pretty good." The man's voice sounded very pleasant, "So, you passed."

"But I don't want to come." Li Qiu shrugged, and secretly pushed the cuffs back a little, "I'm stupid and weak, I just came to "make up the number", you'd better invite someone else."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Xie Cheng back.

A big man appeared out of nowhere and blocked their way.Li Qiu turned to look at the man, and said, "What do you mean?"

"I'm a businessman, and my job is legitimate." The man said slowly, self-consciously, "I'm new here, and I'm not very familiar with Qiyang City, so I need a local snake who can fight."

"Don't refuse me in a hurry." He put his index finger on his lips, "The monthly salary will be calculated as three times your current salary."

Li Qiu... Li Qiu stopped in disappointment.

"Boss Chen, when do I come to work?"

The man said, "Basically, it doesn't take up your time during the day, and you will come when I call."

Then you can still do your current job, and you will have an extra sum of money.Li Qiu lowered his eyes to settle accounts, and when he looked up again, he put on a sincere smile, "Okay, Boss Chen."

"My name is Chen Ci, just call me Mr. Chen." The man motioned the people beside him to turn on the light, and an extremely delicate face appeared in Li Qiu's eyes.

Chen Ci seemed to be in his early twenties, his phoenix eyes slightly curved, and he said to Li Qiu, "Don't worry, it's not a business of murder and arson. Since you have agreed, you should show your sincerity—take the recording thing in your hand. Let me have a look?"

Li Qiu was surprised, stared at those eyes for a while, finally smiled, and threw the recording pen hidden in his sleeve to him, "Okay, it's really gone this time."

Chen Ci caught it in the air, and pressed the play button. From entering the door to now, he has not said a word.

"Let's go." Chen Ci said, "I will call you soon."

Xie Cheng came out with Li Qiu, and the jokes he had just had concealed a knife, which made him confused and unable to keep up with the rhythm.Aiqi drove them for a hundred meters, Xie Cheng recalled the two gleaming sharp knives just now, and he was still a little scared. He was about to speak, but he saw dense cold sweat protruding from the back of Li Qiu's neck.

"Pear." Xie Cheng couldn't help but tighten Li Qiu's hand, "Will you be killed by this job?"

Li Qiu who is replaying: ...

"Shut up, you." Li Qiu said coldly, "You are the only one who is cheap."
