"Xiao Wu, we've finished buying the No. 3 bread, so we need to hurry up and make it." Qi Ji, who was standing at the front desk, was wearing an apron and smilingly filling bread for the little girls in front.

"Yeah, it's ready and put it in the oven immediately!" Wu Zhicuo in the back kitchen was very busy. After he learned the technique from Huang Ma, he didn't let her follow him. And the reputation of this bakery is Getting bigger and bigger is actually a bit difficult for a person.Fortunately, Qi Ji always came to help when he was free, but it seemed that the store was even busier after he came - because the handsome appearance and elegant temperament were especially attractive to little girls.

Qi Ji acted as a waiter and cashier at the front desk. Although it was small and miscellaneous, it was still handled in an orderly manner, and every purchase of bread gave off an elegant demeanor.

"That's good for your bread. Welcome to come next time." Qi Ji stood in front of the cash register and handed the bag to the girl in front of him with a smile.

The girl and her friends all looked nympho and took the bag with both hands.

"Brother, can you add a WeChat or QQ?" The girls looked at Qi Ji expectantly.

Wu Zhicuo was coming out with freshly baked bread, shaking his head while laying out the bread, I don't know how many girls have asked for Qi Ji's contact information, but so far they haven't succeeded, and Qi Ji can still let them No complaints.

Finally, another large group of guests were sent away, and when it was time for lunch, Wu Zhicuo turned over the open sign outside the door.They didn't have this system before, but later they were too busy and set aside time for lunch.

Wu Zhicuo poured Qi Ji a cup of tea: "Brother Qi, thank you for your hard work."

Qi Ji leaned on the sofa and took the tea, and smiled slightly: "This is an outsider again."

"Haha, I just feel sorry to have a big boss like you come to buy bread for me."

"I'm very happy to be able to help you. Didn't you say that money can't buy me?" Qi Ji looked at Wu Zhicuo sincerely.

Wu Zhicuo was still a little uncomfortable with the way Qi Ji looked at him, and always felt that there was something else in it.Then he took out his mobile phone: "Brother Qi, what's for lunch, I'll order it now, anything is fine."

"Really? Then you have to eat something good," Qi Ji seemed to be thinking hard, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly said, "I don't want to eat takeaway."

Then he asked, "Can you cook in the kitchen here?"

"Eh..." Wu Zhi paused, "Cooking here is probably not very good, but Mom cooked noodles here before, and there are some ingredients left. But noodles at noon..."

"Then eat noodles," Qi Ji said, propping his head, "I've never eaten a meal made by Xiao Wu, and I'm looking forward to your noodles."

Wu Zhicuo hesitated for a while, he couldn't use takeout to perfuse others, and Qi Ji's tone was determined to eat, so he agreed: "Okay, I'll be wronged at noon."

The beginning of spring will be here in a few days, but the temperature here does not change much. There is basically no transition from cold to warm here. Now it is a cotton-padded jacket, and it may become unlined in a few days.

After a tiring day, Wu Zhicuo quit his scooter. He was really too busy. Do you want to hire a job?However, he was not sure if he could afford to hire a worker for his small shop, after all, people nowadays have high salary requirements.

Wu Zhicuo opened the door and changed his shoes in the hallway, but he always felt that the atmosphere was weird. As usual, Huang Ma and Mianmian would come to welcome him when he heard the door opening. Today is so quiet.

"Mom?" Wu Zhichao entered the living room, and the headlights were turned on. A strange woman with a child was sitting on the sofa, and Huang's mother turned her heavy face to one side.

Seeing Wu Zhichao standing up quickly, the woman seemed a little embarrassed, rubbing her hands and shouting at Wu Zhichao with a stiff smile: "Brother!"

Wu Zhicuo still looked puzzled. The woman pulled up the child sitting next to her: "Quickly call uncle, call uncle."

The child was lifted with one hand and foot on the ground and looked at the strange man in front of him with blank eyes, completely lacking the vigor and innocence and romance that a child of his age should have. He spoke in an immature but lifeless voice.

"uncle."

When Wu Zhicuo looked at the child seriously, he was suddenly taken aback. Why did he feel that this child looked so familiar, as if he had seen him there before, and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity and wanting to get close.

Wu Zhicuo looked at his mother who hadn't turned his face from the side of the sofa: "Mom, this...what's going on?"

Huang Ma finally raised her head: "Wu'er, come into the room."

"Oh." Wu Zhicuo looked at the awkward woman in front of the sofa and followed Huang Ma into the room.

Huang Ma basically never cried in front of Wu Zhicuo, but this time she burst into tears as soon as she entered the room.

Wu Zhicuo immediately panicked and hurried forward to support his mother: "What's the matter, Mom?"

With his support, Huang Ma sat down on the side of the bed and sighed deeply: "The one in the living room is your half-sister."

"What!" Wu Zhizuo was startled, his half-sister suddenly had an extra sister when he was in his thirties, it was really like a joke.

"Wu'er," looking at Wu Zhicuo, Huang's mother was shocked, but she showed a remorseful expression, "I always knew about her existence, but I never told you, I thought... I thought, you guys There should be no intersection, your inhuman father..."

Speaking of Huang's mother's voice choked up, Wu Zhicuo pulled her mother into his arms: "Mom, it's all over now."

This is the first time that Huang Ma has brought up his father in front of Wu Zhicuo in so many years, and it is the first time that she finally couldn't help scolding him.

Huang's mother tried her best to calm down her emotions, looked at Wu Zhicuo and said with relief: "But fortunately, my son has grown up safely, and he can live well without relying on anyone."

"Hey," Huang's mother sighed again, "Your mother has a clear conscience over the years, but there is one thing your mother did a little too much."

"Mom." Wu Zhicuo comforted.

Huang Ma patted Wu Zhicuo's hand lightly: "Listen to Mom."

Then Huang's mother recalled: "I forgot how old you were when your father died, but you were really young and shaky when you walked, so it was a big blow to me at that time, not for anything else It was because I was afraid that I would not be able to raise you well. But the party who caused the accident at that time paid a lot of compensation in order to settle the matter. But one day a woman came to the door with a baby girl and said that this is your father I hoped to share some compensation, without any hesitation, I refused and kicked the mother and daughter out, not because I didn't believe in the baby girl's blood, because your inhuman father could do such a thing of."

When talking about that man, Huang's mother gritted her teeth, Wu Zhizhuo couldn't alleviate the wound that that man caused in her mother's heart, she could only hold her mother's hand tightly to make her hate him, no matter what, he would be there.

"But," Mama Huang let out a long sigh of relief, "it's an adult's business. There's nothing wrong with the baby girl who doesn't even have any memories. I was just angry at the time and I only had you in my heart. The lives of others have already been determined." Completely disregarded, I monopolize that compensation to my son. But after calming down, I feel guilty for the mother and daughter. A woman raises a child alone, especially raising a child without a status. How hard it is is unimaginable to ordinary people. For so many years, this is also a wound in my heart, but I am old, so let the grievances and resentments we have carried go with the wind. I don’t know if that child is How did I find it here, but I think she will choose to come to us and she really can't live on, and the child beside her is also very pitiful. They are now coming to seek refuge with you, uncle, it depends on you whether to stay or not."

Huang Ma looked at Wu Zhicuo, but he didn't say anything, Huang Ma waved his hand: "You go out first, you can't stay up late when you are old, remember to turn off the lights when you go out."

After saying that, Huang Ma lay on the bed, Wu Zhicuo got up and covered her with the quilt, turned off the light and went out.

The woman in the living room was still standing, and when she saw Wu Zhicuo coming out, she hurriedly smiled again: "Brother, take us in for a while, and we will leave immediately after we find the father of the child. I will give you a lot of compensation! I heard from my aunt that you are very busy opening a bakery, and I am diligent. I can help in the store for free, as long as we give us a place to live and a meal to eat."

When the woman said this, Wu Zhicuo felt sad: "What's your name?"

The woman was startled: "Wu... Wu Yan."

"Yes, Wu Yan, isn't it my sister?"

As soon as Wu Zhicuo said this, big drops of tears suddenly rolled down from Wu Yan's wide-open eyes.

Wu Zhicuo stepped forward and picked up the child on the ground: "How old is it?"

Wu Yan hurriedly wiped her tears: "Two... two years old."

Wu Zhicuo pinched his pink face, maybe he was really related by blood, he just liked this child at a glance: "What's his name?"

"Xiao Wei, if he doesn't have a surname, I'll call him Xiao Wei."

"No surname?" Wu Zhicuo frowned slightly, "Where's his father?"

Wu Yan's expression was a little evasive when asked here, so Wu Zhicuo stopped asking.

"It's getting late today, take the child to bed."

Wu Yan followed him to a room, turned on the light, the inside was not too big but clean and comfortable, it was no problem to be a bedroom.

"You can sleep here from now on, and go buy some daily necessities tomorrow."

Wu Yan bowed again and again: "Thank you, thank you..."

This bow really hurt Wu Zhichao, and he lifted her downward hooked head: "Didn't you call me brother? From now on, I will be your brother. I couldn't find it in Xiaowei. Dad, this was your home before, we are your family, so don't be polite to us."

Wu Yan didn't look up, because her eyes were already covered with tears.

Wu Zhicuo patted her on the shoulder: "Sleep well."

After finishing speaking, he handed over the child to her, looking at Wu Zhicuo's back, Wu Yan wanted to say something but was unable to speak.
