Luting Canteen

After listening to Yan Ting's words, Song Song stared wide-eyed and held up his wine glass for a long time without recovering, then turned to look at Yang Shubai:

"Old Bo, why are you not surprised at all?"

"I'm surprised."

Yang Shubai pointed to his expressionless face, and Song Song wanted to poke his finger on it, but he slapped it off.Yan Ting took a sip of wine apologetically, and then looked at the two people sitting opposite.Fortunately, Song Song had a carefree temper. Although Yang Shubai was still digesting, he also sensed something was wrong before, so he didn't ask any more questions.

On the other hand, Song Song's eyes lit up after a while, and he shouted that he can learn how to cook in ancient times from Xiao Luobo, and then he was gearing up excitedly.Yang Shubai sighed, looked at Yan Ting and shook his head lightly, Yan Ting didn't mind, but knew that Yang Shubai didn't want to make him crazy at night, so he said:

"Okay, I'll call him over when I'm free."

"I'll just go there, by the way, I will deliver pigeon soup tomorrow!"

Thinking why you are still thinking about that matter, Yan Ting was a little bit dumbfounded, Yang Shubai saw that his expression was a little subtle, rubbing his fingers against the cup wall, and asked after a while:

"It seems that Li Hui still doesn't understand that you like him?"

Yan Ting was taken aback, and smiled helplessly.Song Song also fell silent.

"However, children grow up quickly."

Yang Shubai pursed his lips, and glanced meaningfully at Song Song, who scratched his ear shyly rarely.Yan Ting smiled and touched Yang Shubai's glass lightly with the wine glass:

"Then I'll borrow Shubo's auspicious words."

This is the first time for Li Hui to stay in Luting alone.After tidying up the table and the kitchen, Li Hui took another photo of the string of small colored flags pasted on the glass window, thinking that Yan Ting might drink a little more than usual, so he made some tea to sober up and warm his stomach Warm in the previous thermos.The cafeteria was quiet, Li Hui sat on the side of the long table and lay down for a while, saw that the rows of glass jars with various seasonings on the wall were slightly stained with oil, so he tiptoed to take them down and put them on the cooking table Start cleaning one by one.

After these things were done, Yan Ting hadn't come back yet.Li Hui felt a little sleepy, so he took the thermos and turned off the light and went back to the place where the two of them lived, planning to take a shower first and then wait and see.

When Yan Ting came back, he saw light shining through the small window in the bathroom, and as soon as he approached, the heat mixed with the faint fragrance of shower gel came over.Stopping, Yan Ting stood for a while, lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall to smoke slowly.

His little one is bathing in the house now, and he is leaning here smoking a cigarette.The shower gel was bought with him at the supermarket after it ran out last week.Now he is coming home late, but there is a little guy at home.

In the past, Yan Ting felt that a person's life was neither good nor bad.Of course there will be times when he is bored or lonely, as long as there are other things that can fill his daily life, it doesn't matter.Tang Meng once said that he is probably the usual kind who seems to lack interest in everything, but once he has a goal, he is very active, and he is still calm.

is that so?Yan Ting raised his head.The thin smoke drifted away along the cold air and the faint scent. In this courtyard where he lived since he was a child, he only knew that at this moment, he felt very peaceful, his heartbeat was steady, and his breathing was steady.He also wanted to put his cold hand on the back of his little guy's neck when he went in, and watch him squint.

Thinking of this, Yan Ting stamped out the cigarette butt, looked at the warm light in the bathroom, and went back to the house.

On Tang Meng's side, because the attic where he used to sleep has been used to pile his books, and there is no sofa at home, so he had to make a bed on the floor.Tang's mother was afraid that he would not be healthy if he slept on the ground in winter, so she spread two more quilts on top of him.When he finally lay down, Tang Meng's cell phone turned on. Seeing the light, Tang's mother told him not to put the cell phone next to his head when he was sleeping, and said something about the radiation, and finally turned around while muttering. asleep.

Only then did Tang Meng turn on his phone and saw that it was the message sent by Ye Qi to the group.

——It’s time to go to school, everyone, have a drink!

There is no expression that he always likes to send, and he does not mention himself.

Sometimes Tang Meng could see a slight difference from Ye Qi's typed sentences. He couldn't explain the reason, but he just felt that Ye Qi was not very happy now.I wanted to make a phone call, but my mother was still there. Tang Meng thought for a while, and only said "It's good to be here, go to bed early" and put the phone aside.

Just laying down like this, but Tang Meng couldn't fall asleep no matter what.It's not because of sleeping on the floor. When Ye Qi was young, sometimes he liked to sleep on the floor in the bookstore when he was unhappy, and he would accompany him sometimes, so he actually liked sleeping like this. As long as it was different when he was young , I found it very interesting.But my mother was not very happy, and after my father said a few words to her about it, she was so angry that she didn't bother to care about it.Ye Qi hadn't realized that Tang's mother didn't like him very much at that time, and Tang's mother didn't want to show a child that she was stingy, she always smiled and treated Ye Qi politely, so Ye Qi became more Being attached to Tang Meng made Yan Zi very unhappy sometimes.

Thinking of this, Tang Meng sighed lightly, and those past events slowly came to mind.

Ye Qi was adopted by Chi Yiyan when he was four years old.At that time, he had lived in Laojie with his lover Fan Wenbin for more than three years.Fan Wenbin insisted on spending all his savings to buy the house. When they first moved in, no one knew the situation. After seeing some clues, most of the neighbors chose to remain silent or ignore them. Only Yan Ting's grandfather and Tang Meng's father were few. A few people, without saying anything, dealt with them as usual.

Tang Meng and Yan Ting were seven and six years old at the time, and they were very happy to know that two uncles who were good at painting moved to their home.As the days went by, they found that Uncle Chi liked to play with them more than Uncle Wen Bin, and was also gentler.Although I don't quite understand why some uncles and aunts don't know how to greet them, but the two like them very much.

When Ye Qi came, Chi Yiyan said that this child will be your younger brother from now on.Yan Ting nodded, and Tang Meng looked at Ye Qi, thinking that the child's pouting and glaring was very interesting.

"My name is Tang Meng. Tang is the Tang of the Tang Dynasty, and Meng is the enlightened Meng."

"Tang Meng, you tell him these things, but he doesn't understand."

Yan Ting patted Tang Meng's shoulder, leaned down and stared at the little guy who kept pouting and refused to speak, and asked:

"Uncle Chi and Uncle Wen Bin, they will be your father from now on, so are you called Chi Yeqi or Fan Yeqi?"

Seeing that Ye Qi was silent, Yan Ting asked again on purpose.

"My name is Chi Ye Qi!"

Couldn't help shouting in a childish voice, Ye Qi glared at Yan Ting again:

"you are stupid."

Laughing together with Tang Meng, Chi Yiyan patted Ye Qi on the head again:

"You can't talk to people like that."

Yan Ting also gave Ye Qi a note:

"You can't talk to your brother like that."

Ye Qi pouted, and looked at Tang Meng again.Seeing Tang Meng stretching out his hand, he quickly closed his eyes. After a while, he found that he was not knocked, so he opened his eyes secretly. It turned out that Tang Meng just stretched out his hand, and there was a big white rabbit toffee in his hand. Ye Qi was immediately happy. Raise your hand to grab it.

"Ye Qi, you have to tell brother thank you before you can take it."

"No, I want sugar!"

Not listening to Chi Yiyan, Ye Qi twisted his body to catch him, so Chi Yiyan squatted down to stabilize him, first asked Tang Meng if he could eat this candy, and when Tang Meng nodded, he loudly said After saying thank you to him, he peeled off the big white rabbit and put it in his mouth.

Ye Qi stared at it with wide eyes, and just about to cry, Tang Meng took out another grain from his pants purse, Yan Ting and Chi Yiyan both looked at Ye Qi, the little guy looked at Tang, and then at Chi Yiyan. Chewing and chewing mouth, it took a long time to ask coyly:

"Can I eat it, brother sugar?"

Tang Meng didn't know that Ye Qi was thinking about Brother Tang, and he was a little happy to see that he remembered his last name, so he nodded.The little guy looked at Chi Yiyan who was staring at him again, said thank you loudly, and couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth.Tang Meng smiled and peeled off the candy paper for him, and told him that the layer of glutinous rice paper was also edible, and the little guy couldn't wait to put it in his mouth.

When Chi Yiyan adopted Ye Qi, Fan Wenbin was not very willing.But he really likes children and wants to raise a child with Fan Wenbin.The two of them talked about this matter many times. Fan Wenbin told him how difficult the actual situation would be, and the problems the children would encounter in the future. I also told him that my family must raise a child.But Chi Yiyan is surprisingly stubborn on this point.This problem has also been between the two since they dated, and Fan Wenbin finally compromised.He knew that Chi Yiyan would not give in, and he also knew that he loved him too much.

After Ye Qi came, Fan Wenbin was not used to it at first, unless Chi Yiyan had something to do and couldn't come back, he didn't play with him much.At most, when he was drawing and rushing to draft, when he turned around and saw Ye Qi staring enviously, he silently threw some pastel hair to him.Later, when he is free, he will help Ye Qi draw some small animals he wants on paper.

When Ye Qi started to prepare for elementary school, Fan Wenbin bought a new schoolbag and pencil case, but they were given to Chi Yiyan and told him to give them to Ye Qi.The school that Ye Qi wanted to attend was nearby. Go out from the alley, pass an open space and walk for more than five minutes.Nearly all the children in the school are enrolled nearby. Yan Ting and Tang Meng are also in that school, but they are already seniors who are about to graduate.

That is, after Yan Ting and Tang Meng graduated one after another, some children in the school began to bully Ye Qi who had lost two protectors.

At that time, the children didn't really understand it well, and most of them heard it from their own adults at home, so Ye Qi was gradually isolated in the class, and his deskmate often elbowed him deliberately when he was writing. The teacher just turned a blind eye to his arm, and only yelled a word or two when it was too much. Only Yan Ting's younger sister, Yan Zi, would fight for him with her arms akimbo.

In fact, when he was in kindergarten, the smart Ye Qi fully understood that his family was different from other people's, and he was also different from others.He was brought back from the orphanage by Chi's father, and it took him a long time to get to his current home.He didn't know who his parents were, and he didn't find it strange when he was in the orphanage. When he went to the kindergarten, he saw that the other children had a father, a mother, and two sets of grandparents.

But that's okay, I have two fathers!But it seems that some adults don't like hearing him say that.He knew that Papa Chi would be sad sometimes, and that Papa Wen Bin would sometimes rub Papa Chi's head without saying a word. He saw these secretly, so Ye Qi gradually understood—if he had something No, the fathers will also feel uncomfortable, no matter how bright the house is, it will be dark.

So Ye Qi always smiled.Because of this, it was hated even more.When it came to the third grade, it got even worse.

That day, the school was on summer vacation, and he went back to school to get his report card. On the way home, Ye Qi was very happy to see several hundreds.When walking towards the open space, I didn't notice a few people from other classes following behind.

It was agreed that Brother Yan Ting and Brother Tang would take him to play games today, and they can eat a popsicle later. After thinking about it, Ye Qi was suddenly pushed from behind, and turned his head to see some children who were taller than him He was laughing, and before he could react, the leader raised his hands and pushed him vigorously, and said aloud:

"Chi Yeqi, it's so weird, the two fathers took him, Chi Yeqi, so ugly, the two fathers also look like dogs!"

Ye Qi was pushed and fell to the ground, a piece of his knee was scratched immediately, and the sand on the open ground stained the red wound.The children simply surrounded him, clapping their hands and shouting louder and louder:

"Chi Ye Qi, it's really strange, the two fathers took him, Chi Ye——"

Suddenly there was a scream in the sound that was originally combined. The others turned their heads and saw two people who were much taller than themselves. One of them was pulling a person's hair with a cold face, pointing at his buttocks. Just a kick.

The little ghosts ran away in fright, and the one who was kicked by Yan Ting jumped to Ye Qi's side. Tang Meng hurried over as soon as he saw the wound on his knee.Yan Ting also spotted it, and the boy who rolled his eyes and wanted to come over and struggle said:

"The summer vacation is still long, I know where you usually play."

When the elementary school students heard this, they didn't care about their companions who were still throwing themselves on the ground. Seeing that Yan Ting was about to raise his feet again, they ran away screaming.Yan Ting squatted in front of the child who was lying on the ground and dared not move, staring at him, the kid trembled, crawled back a few times, got up and ran away.

Ye Qi, who was sitting on the ground, looked at Tang Meng and Yan Ting, and suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at, brat?"

Yan Ting glared at him, Ye Qi sniffed and curled the corners of his mouth:

"I laughed, now they know, I, not only have two fathers, I also have two older brothers! Much better than them!"

Tang Meng and Yan Ting glanced at each other, then at Ye Qi who was looking for the report card, and remained silent for a while.

"Ah, broken, broken."

Ye Qi pouted as he did when he was a child, and held up the dirt-stained report card in front of Tang Meng:

"Brother Tang, what should I do, you, you see that the report card is broken."

As soon as the words were finished, the small mouth shrunk and trembled, and Yan Ting's eyes immediately turned red when he saw him.

"S, the report card is broken——"

"It's okay, it's okay, Flag,"

Tang Meng hadn't seen Ye Qi cry for a long time, and thought that when he was in kindergarten, Uncle Chi would be crying a little too late, so he immediately put him in his arms.

"If it's broken, I'll just stick it with glue for you."

He touched Ye Qi's head to comfort him, but this touch turned on Ye Qi's switch.He buried his face in Tang Meng's arms, and his crying echoed muffled in the open space:

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Yan Ting squatted aside and watched silently.

He knew that the little guy didn't want them to think that he was crying because he was bullied, so he pretended to be very sad for a report card that he had always stuffed randomly.Tang Meng touched Ye Qi's head, his eyes were about to turn red.Seeing this, Yan Ting pulled Ye Qi who was in Tang Meng's arms, and wiped his face randomly with his hands:

"Tang Meng, lift him up on my back."

Tang Meng nodded, took the report card out of Ye Qi's hand, folded it and put it in his trouser pocket.After Ye Qi hooked Yan Ting's neck and sat down, Yan Ting asked Tang Meng to go to the back to support him.

"Okay, let's go eat popsicles first. Can you drink soda?"

Ye Qi rubbed his snot and tears onto Yan Ting's neck while sniffling:

"Drink! Also, I want to eat that dry, crispy noodles, I, I want Cheetos—"

Yan Ting smiled, and went up to him again, Tang Meng quickly raised his hand to protect him.

"I'll buy it for you today, and we'll go back after playing."

After drinking some coffee, Ye Qi planned to change seats, so he took his things and moved to a small round table in the corner.

After sitting down, lean back in the chair.Thinking of something, he took out his wallet. The wallet was a birthday present from Tang Meng when he was 20 years old. Ye Qi likes to put all his photos in it.

Tang Meng's birthday is coming soon.After his birthday was over—Ye Qi's eyes darkened.

After his birthday is over, Dad's death day will also come.Ye Qi took out the stack of photos in the transparent pocket, and slowly found the bottom two.

Primary school graduate, junior high school graduate.As long as it is his business, Dad will specially take pictures to commemorate it.

——Although Ye Qi was not with Dad before, he will remember it for you in the future.

When Chi Yiyan made such promises, Fan Wenbin raised his eyebrows beside him, not allowing Xiaoyeqi to move the camera.

"...What big lies are you talking about, cut."

Ye Qi lightly touched Chi Yiyan's smiling face on the photo, feeling that tonight was really terrible.
