[First time] Burn it, brother-in-law!

Ah Ci didn't make too careful arrangements for the three-day vacation earned by bargaining.I just stay at home to catch up on sleep, clean the house, and spend time with relatives to make up for the regret of not being able to make dumplings together for the new year. On New Year’s Eve, Ah Cheng and Lili were supposed to be on duty, but Ah Cheng is not a local, so they have to bring With his wife and children going back to his hometown for the New Year, he had to ask Ah Ci to help him take the shift.As a local bachelor, Ah Ci really had no reason to refuse to save him, so he agreed.

Ah Chu didn't express any opinion on this, but just twitched the corners of his mouth, obviously not agreeing with the reason of "being helpful".He has the duty list in his hand, so he naturally knows who his younger brother will be with at the police station for New Year's Eve after his shift changes.

Ah Ci originally wanted to borrow the company's dance studio with his eldest brother to practice dancing, but seeing Ah Chu's dissatisfaction with the substitute, he didn't mention performance to him.During the rehearsal, Xin Lili and I only went to the gymnastics room of a school to practice for half a day.

On the day of the official performance, Ah Ci wore a black tight-fitting performance costume, showing off a good figure with narrow waist and wide shoulders.With long legs, he is even more heroic.Xin Lili was wearing a red dance dress, and her heavy makeup covered up her original cuteness, making her look glamorous and proud.Liu Yunpu saw them in the background, and immediately yelled strangely: "Oh my God! It's just a party, is it necessary to sell your lust like this?"

Ah Ci rolled his eyes: "Do you want us to dance in police uniforms?"

"Ah Ci, who is the beauty next to you?" Liu Yunpu's eyes were fixed, and Lili was about to be taken aback. "Aren't you going to perform with your science foodies? How can you invite foreign help?"

Xin Lili glared at him sharply through her makeup: "Are you here to mess things up? Are you trying to praise me or hurt me?"

"Of course it's a compliment!" Liu Yunpu said happily, "Oh, it's so good! You two don't have to dance, just stand on the stage, and the audience will definitely shout 'together', 'together', ' together'!"

"Are you poor enough?" Ah Ci didn't like this kind of topic in the first place, and he was afraid that Lili would be uncomfortable and affect her performance, so she urged Liu Yunpu to leave, "There are two more shows for you, be careful not to forget your words on stage!"

"I can't forget it! It's all memorized here!" Liu Yunpu tapped his head and recited the recitation as if chanting. Everyone in the backstage was annoyed by the noise, and they worked together to drive him out.Before leaving, he turned around and yelled at Lili, "You have to act with your heart like a parent!"

Lili looked at Ah Ci puzzled: "Is he talking to me?"

"Don't pay attention to him. I think he is here to disturb the morale of the army. I wish you would stumble on stage so that his recitation wouldn't be the worst show." Ah Ci was quite speechless to Fatty Liu.

When Liu Yunpu was performing, Lili secretly glanced down from behind the curtain, then ran back and said to Ah Ci: "Big Liu is really annoying! Just now we were disturbed by chanting sutras, and when we go on stage, we will lose our rhythm!"

"I just said that he went backstage to sabotage!" Ah Ci looked as if he had expected it, and asked again, "How is the reaction from the audience?"

"I seem to be quite moved by his incitement. After listening to a few words, I feel that the hairs are standing on end." Lili rubbed her arms, as if to soothe her goosebumps.

"He won a prize in the City Council's recitation competition before. Just keep listening, and it will make you cry in the end."

"Then I won't listen, don't cry about your makeup anymore, it took so long to put on makeup!" Lili looked in the mirror, took out her lipstick and applied another layer, then pulled up the fabric on her chest , slightly covering the career line, she smiled and said, "My mother must be crazy when she saw it in the audience... What about you? Didn't you ask your brother and the pair of precious nephews to come and play?"

"My brother is busy with work at the end of the year, so I didn't call him. The kids are still in kindergarten!" Ah Ci smiled.Although the branch office's annual notice mentions that family members are welcome to have a party together, but he has long been used to ignoring the existence of this sentence - during the Spring Festival of the first year, his father had already expressed his opposition to him becoming a policeman.If the old man meets Du Ju at the party, it will definitely be enough for him to go around.Therefore, he never brings his family members to the company's party.At first, he would be envious of seeing his colleagues and their family happy and happy, but after a while he would become numb, and would use the work at hand as an excuse not to participate.If he hadn't signed up for the program this year, he would probably be absent again.

……

A romantic and beautiful melody sounded, and Ah Ci and Lili appeared on both sides of the stage, attracting each other as if in an afternoon encounter.They tentatively approached slowly, like a love in the bud, with the right balance between advance and retreat.Following the lingering and graceful dance steps, Lili pressed her hands lightly on Ah Ci's chest. They were like a couple who were playing games, constantly bewitching each other, and at the same time alienated inadvertently.The rhythm of the music became more and more intense, and the interaction between the two reached its peak.After turning around on the stage twice, Lili hooked Ah Ci's neck with one hand, and Ah Ci put her arms around her waist, picked her up and turned around twice, as if a lover who fell in love and could not extricate himself finally broke free from everything. Burden, trust each other, be steadfast.At the end of the song, the two hugged each other in the center of the stage, as if they were still immersed in the tenderness of the previous moment.It wasn't until the audience applauded that they held hands and took the curtain call—they conquered the audience with their elegant and outstanding temperament and freely retractable performance.

Ah Ci smiled, enjoying the happiness brought to him by the stage.Maybe Lili is right, he still can't see the death of his father and Ronghua, like a monk who keeps the precepts, constantly suppressing his greed, hatred and obsession, he thinks this is growth, this is giving, but forgets himself He is also a secular man with seven emotions and six desires.And a person who is not frank enough to himself can never bring real joy to others... He looked at the audience, and suddenly wanted to see Ai Zhong Aihua and Ah Chu.Don't need any words, just give them a smile from the heart and convey to them the mood at the moment.

No one in the audience shouted "together" like Liu Yunpu said, but there were still some whispers, and comments such as "talented men and beautiful women" and "right to match" were heard endlessly.In the corner of the family area, Liu Yunpu's wife was also moved by this dance, and couldn't help asking the neighbors: "Are they a couple?"

The man answered irrelevantly: "Go on and watch, I'll go out to catch my breath."

……

Ah Ci and Lili returned backstage, and were praised by colleagues who were preparing for the show.It just so happened that Zhong Lang's call came in, so Ah Ci ran to the corridor with his cell phone to answer it.

Zhong Lang spoke highly of their performance: "The dance is really good! Make persistent efforts next year!"

"It all depends on the support of the leader." Ah Ci laughed, "If it is five days of rehearsal time, the effect will be even better!"

"I think it's fine like this, it's better not to use it." Zhong Lang's meaning was very clear: the requirements are not high, just don't take this opportunity to ask for leave! "Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you tonight, and the general department will celebrate your achievements together. No one can ask for leave!"

"Okay!" Ah Ci responded, hung up the phone, and called Ah Chu, telling him to go back later at night... At this time, everyone in the whole world was watching the performance in the auditorium, and the corridor was unusually quiet until Ah Chu's cell phone rang ring up.

Ah Ci followed the sound to the stairwell, saw his brother staring at the phone screen in a daze, and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"

Ah Chu turned to look at him, with a smile on his face: "Is it strange that I appear here? Don't forget, Xiao Liu's lover is from our company. When she asked for leave, she told me that you have a party here, I Just come and have a look."

"Then why didn't you call me in advance?" Ah Ci asked as he walked to his side.

"Did you tell me?" Ah Chu said slightly complaining.

"I see you've been quite busy recently..." Ah Ci explained uncomfortably.

"It's rare for you to perform on stage, no matter how busy I am, I have to make time to come here!"

Ah Ci asked nervously, "Did you see me dancing just now? How do you feel?"

"Of course I saw it! It's better than our company's professional dancers! I'm thinking about poaching!"

"You dig me and I won't go!" Ah Ci rarely smiled so brightly, "Brother, I'm actually very happy that you can come!"

Ah Chu looked at his younger brother's smile, which was so dazzling that it was hard to look directly at it.He lowered his head and saw Ah Ci's exposed chest - the position where Xin Lili slapped her just now.He tugged at the deep V neckline of the tight top, "Silly boy, dress like this...don't change it, just use the jacket like this, go home directly!"

"No, the boss wants to treat us tonight. It's inconvenient for me to wear this. Wait a minute, I'll change it first." Ah Ci turned his head to leave, seeing Ah Chu's displeasure, he added, "Big deal I'll go back tonight and put it back on."

Ah Chu had nothing to do with him: "Go ahead, I'll pick up the child today. I'll wait for you tonight...wear this."

……

The atmosphere of the dinner was not good.During the dinner, Zhong Lang's cell phone kept ringing.He finally walked out of the private room with a sullen face clutching his phone.Lao Kong jokingly said to the others: "The boss is the best at drinking! First hide out by answering the phone, and then come back with a bad face. No one knows if there is a real quarrel. Anyway, no one dares to drink anymore." he!"

"That makes sense! The boss is such a thief!" Ah Cheng immediately echoed, "Today we have to go all out, and we must put him down!"

Ah Ci said nothing.In retrospect, every festival, Zhong Lang almost always had a dark face. It is estimated that Yu Qiyang has festive irritability, and when it comes to this time, he has nothing to do and makes troubles.He thought for a while, stood up and walked out: "I'll go see him."

After clinking glasses with Lao Kong, Ah Cheng turned his head and shouted, "Yes! Go and see if he is really arguing!"

Ah Ci smiled, noncommittal.He turned two corners along the corridor before he heard Zhong Lang talking on the phone.

"OK! No need to repeat it again! This is the last time, I won't 'harass' you again! Absolutely do what I say... I don't have any valuables, so I don't need to find a courier, so you just treat it as garbage and throw it away Right... Zhong Hui's pad can be taken by herself. If you see her and get annoyed, just throw it away together. I will let her go to the trash can at the door... Yes! I have always been like this! Thank you for reminding me, I My sister has been tortured by me for so many years, it is a miracle that she is still mentally normal!"

It seems that Zhong Hui is destined to become the biggest cannon fodder in this war!There was such an incomprehensible elder brother at the stall, and there was even more incomprehensible Yu Qiyang... Ah Ci mourned for little sister Zhong Hui for three seconds, and at the same time, through comparison, he felt that his elder brother was more and more reliable!Judging from Zhong Lang's tone, he and Yu Qiyang basically have no chance to get back together.But this kind of verbal violence didn't happen once or twice, and it hasn't stopped until now. It can be seen that these two guys have big hearts.

Ah Ci was lost in thought, and bumped into Zhong Lang who hung up the phone and walked back.Does this count as eavesdropping and being caught on the spot?Ah Ci took the initiative to explain in some embarrassment: "Ah, I actually came out to go to the toilet..."

Zhong Lang looked at him, thought for a while, then raised his finger behind him and said, "The bathroom is in the opposite direction."

Ah Ci was stunned for a second, then quickly adjusted his mentality, shrugged his shoulders: "I went just now. It was full, so I had to find another toilet."

"The reaction is quite fast!" Zhong Lang reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth, and patted his shoulder, "Go, I'll go back to the private room first."

……

Zhong Lang was already prone to getting drunk when he was sullen, and Ah Cheng spared no effort in toasting, so he vomited while guarding a tree pit when he left the restaurant.In the end, Ah Cheng, the instigator, and Lili, who was on duty, took him back to the dormitory by taxi.

Ah Ci took another taxi home alone.The driver is a very cheerful person, humming a few words along with the songs played on the radio from time to time.Ah Ci slumped in his seat tiredly, staring at the scenery on the side of the road.The scene of performing on stage was playing back in his mind, and it was actually evaluated by Ah Chu as beyond professional standards!He couldn't help pursing his lips and smiling. The elder brother is indeed a profiteer who is good at socializing and socializing. What he said is obviously a lie, but it makes people feel good!Compared with Zhong Lang yelling angry words at the phone to make the little girl turn over the trash can, it's no wonder that Yu Qiyang wanted to involve Ah Chu when he broke up!After being violently complained about for a long time, who doesn't want to listen to something nice?Thinking of this, he frowned slightly.That fellow Yu Qiyang once said to Ah Chu, "I will consider accepting you next time we break up." Does the quarrel between him and Zhong Lang today count as a breakup?I hope it's just a normal quarrel...

He thought about things along the way, but he didn't expect that when he entered the room, Ah Chu's opening remarks would be "Is the girl you danced with today the one that Ai Zhong Aihua mentioned last time?"

"Yeah." Thinking of Xin Lili, Ah Ci couldn't help laughing, "Don't look at her like that on stage, she's actually very carefree and delicious, like a tomboy."

Ah Chu looked at his younger brother's smiling face, his expression froze, but he tried to maintain a calm tone: "Why are you performing with her?"

"Because she and I are the only ones in our department who can dance." Ah Ci didn't think there was anything wrong with it. There are few female police officers in the branch office. Lili is probably the only one who has learned ballroom dancing. "If you don't dance with her, you can find a who?"

"You can find me." There was no hint of a joke in Ah Chu's tone.

Ah Ci resisted the urge to complain, and expressed as tactfully as possible: "In public, it's rude for two men to dance."

"We don't have to dance, there are still many shows that can be performed. And only you and I can complete it, no one else can do it."

"Well, if there is a chance next time, I will definitely find you." A Ci decided to use a standard perfunctory sentence to end the topic.

"There are plenty of opportunities. Next Wednesday at our company's annual meeting, you will ask for leave to cooperate with me. That's it!"

"Are you kidding me? I don't even know what show you're going to play, so how do you cooperate? And you have to rehearse several times, right?"

"No, you come to the company to find me that day, and memorizing two lines is enough." Ah Chu held his chin, "Also, should you change your clothes? It's already night, and you agreed to wear that one for me." I read it."
