Two people must have one heart

The storefront of the Sichuan restaurant is not big, but the business is booming. The scattered seats in the lobby are already full, leaving only two small private rooms.

After the three of them were seated, Ye Bai took the menu from the young male waiter and raised his head to talk, "Hi, do you have any special dishes?"

"Here." The waiter stretched out his hand and flipped through a few pages of the menu, "Boiled fish, twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, spicy chicken, and these... are all signatures of the store."

"I won't eat the fish, let's order a boiled pork slice, and a spicy chicken diced." Then he handed the menu to Xiao Wu, "See what you want to eat?"

Xiao Wu huddled in the chair and waved his hands, "I can do anything."

Liang Xihe took off his coat and hung it on the chair, and replied casually: "Just order him a plate of beef."

The group of them grew up together, and they have no taboos or special preferences at all, and Xiao Wu is the most "omnivorous" among them, with eight major cuisines, sweet, sour, salty, and spicy, all comers are welcome.

"What about you?" Ye Bai spread out the menu to Liang Xihe again.

Liang Xihe stretched out his hand to pull the menu in, tapped a certain page with his fingertips and said, "Order a mapo tofu, and then order this green vegetable. If you don't have enough, add more. Two servings of rice, one double serving." Chili chicken lo mein, drink plum juice, all dishes are spicy without garlic, thank you." After finishing speaking, he closed the menu and handed it back.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter took the menu and turned out of the private room.

The food was served very quickly, probably because the moving house took too much energy to clean up, so a meal was eaten very quickly, and no one talked much.The taste of this shop is not bad, especially the boiled pork slices and sizzling beef, and the dishes are just right.

When the meal was almost finished, Liang Xi got up and went to the bathroom, only Ye Bai and Xiao Wu were left in the private room.

Little Gray Mao leaned back on the chair, lazily said: "I'm so full, I don't want to work in the afternoon."

Ye Bai only knew that Xiao Wu was a barber, but he didn't know which shop he was in, so he asked casually.

"Oh~" He suddenly took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over, "Brother Ye, come to the shop when you are free, and I will make you a new look."

Ye Bai looked down at the store name on the black business card. Although he had never been there, he knew that this store was very popular in Linxi because it bore the name of a well-known domestic stylist.

"Is this Qiu Di's shop?"

"He is the nominal owner of the store, and he doesn't care about things when he doesn't work." Xiao Wu rolled his eyes lazily when he spoke.

Ye Bai felt a little funny when he heard his tone, "Boss, just manage the accounts."

"He is usually too busy with many things, and he doesn't show up in this store very much. I take care of the accounts every day." Xiao Wu naturally accepted this question.

Ordinary employees can't talk about managing accounts.

Ye Bai raised his head slightly in surprise, "You can't be his apprentice, are you?"

"I'm not." Xiao Wu's eyes widened, "I used to learn from his friend."

As for Qiu Di's temper, if I were his apprentice, I wouldn't be swallowed alive?

Ye Bai remembered someone's new hairstyle recently, "You cut the hair of a good girl?"

Hearing this address, Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment before reacting: "My boss? Yes, is your skill okay?"

Ye Bai sincerely praised: "Not bad."

Xiao Wu smiled brightly, "You are handsome and my skills are basically perfect. Brother Ye can also find me in the future, you are more handsome than my boss, and I will definitely give you a haircut that will turn heads [-]%."

In fact, Ye Bai has been paying attention to Xiao Wu's address for a long time, and only then did he have the opportunity to ask: "Aren't you older than Liang girl, why do you call him the boss?"

"Hey." Mentioning this little five was full of bitterness, "I'm short so I grew up small! My eldest should be the one who grew up first. He grew really tall when he was young, and he was taller than other children of the same age. It looks like he is big, and he is the leader in everything, and I get used to it once I come and go."

Ye Bai seemed to be able to think of what Liang girl looked like when she was a child, and couldn't help asking with a smile, "Is he the king of children since he was a child?"

Xiao Wu sighed as if mocking himself: "What kind of child king, he has been a father and a mother since he was a child, and it's better not to mention the hardships of several people alone."

Hearing what he said, a picture suddenly flashed in Ye Bai's mind. The last time the good girl was cooking at his house, she said that he would be able to cook and nurse children when he was still young.In addition, Xiao Wu also said the same, and suddenly felt that there were many things about that person in the past that he didn't know.

Xiao Wu didn't continue the topic just now, but looked around the door mischievously, making sure that his boss wouldn't come back suddenly, then moved a place towards Ye Bai, and asked tentatively: "Brother Ye, what do you think my boss is like?" How are people?"

Ye Bai smiled and said, "It's pretty good."

When I was at the party hall last time, I had already said this once.

Xiao Wu couldn't hear any useful information from his answer, so he could only stare at him suspiciously: "Really?"

The boy smiled warmly: "Really."

Xiao Wu sighed to himself again, and said as if talking to himself: "Actually, I am the boss, I am so good that no one can compare... It's just that my life is a little bit close, and I was born with no parents. Yes, they can only grow up in welfare institutions."

Ye Bai's movements of drinking sour plum juice stopped suddenly. At that moment, he felt that he had heard it wrong. In his impression, a good girl's family is a model of respectful brothers and brothers, and a good husband, righteous wife and virtuous wife.

"What do you say your boss is?"

Xiao Wu hadn't reacted yet, and was about to repeat, "I said, my boss really..."

His voice stopped suddenly, he looked at Ye Bai in horror, and in the next second he raised his hand and broke his head, "He hasn't told you yet? Damn, I thought..."

Seeing Xiao Wu sinking into endless remorse, Ye Bai almost guessed it for a while.

Liang girl said that he and his eldest brother are half-brothers, and the family situation is not as complicated as expected, so he was adopted from the Linxi Welfare Institute. Although he went to the south with the adoptive family, his household registration remains here.

Xiao Wu was still pulling out her own hair, when the door of the private room was suddenly opened, and Liang Xi walked in with wet hands.

"Boss..." Xiao Wu squatted far away, and the chair he brought made a lot of noise.

Liang Xihe leaned over and took out two paper towels to wipe his hands, and asked questioningly, "What are you doing, you scared me."

"I... I owe you."

I didn't bother to pay attention to his startled look, "What new vocabulary did you create?"

"I told Brother Ye, you are both a father and a mother..." Xiao Wu hid by the wall and looked at death as if at home.

I don't know you haven't told Brother Ye about this.

Liang Xi and his eyes swept to Ye Bai who had just recovered his calm, and then turned back to Xiao Wu, without showing any obvious emotions.

"Just say it, you will know sooner or later." He still sat back to the seat next to Ye Bai, saw that Xiao Wu was still standing by the wall, kicked the chair next to him lightly and said, "Come back, don't let me go!" Destroyed the murals."

"Oh." Only then did Xiao Wu straighten the mural and sit back in his seat.

Liang Xihe raised his hand to pour a glass of sour plum juice, during which time he found that Ye Bai's gaze had never left him, and joked with a smile, "What's the matter, little elf, have you been attracted by my bizarre life experience?"

Xiao Wu reminded softly beside him: "Boss, I haven't said anything yet."

Liang Xihe put down the juice glass, clicked his tongue impatiently: "Are you kidding me there?"

"No, I just mentioned something accidentally, and you came back." Xiao Wu rushed out again to pick up the mural.

It's always right to stay away from the boss at this time, the distance to be beaten if you raise your hand is too scary.

Liang Fangqian's expression at this meeting was actually very calm, he only turned his eyes slightly to respond to Ye Bai's gaze, "Do you want to hear it?"

Ye Bai nodded, "I want to hear it, if you want to say something."

"There's nothing you don't want to do."

Everything happened in the real world, so it's not impossible to say it.

Liang Xihe poured Ye Bai a glass of sour plum juice before he began to talk, "Not all children grow up with their parents. There is a place called an orphanage. There are many children there. Some of their parents died because of disabilities. , IQ problems, or patriarchal thinking, and I don’t know where I came from, who my parents are, and why I don’t want them anymore.”

Xiao Wu leaned against the wall and interjected, "There are people like me who are healthy, good-looking, and smart."

Liang Xihe glanced at him from the corner of his eye, "The reason why you were abandoned is easy to understand. You may have been suspected of having dwarfism when you were young."

Grass.

Xiao Wu rolled his eyes, that Dayang and Luo Zi were stupid.

Ye Bai felt puzzled, "Since they are healthy children in the orphanage, they should be taken care of uniformly before being adopted."

How can you cook for yourself and nurse your children?

"In the beginning, the conditions in the hospital were not bad, and everyone could eat and clothe as you said. However, the town welfare home where Xiao Wu and I lived was very small, and it was sponsored by a private company. There were only a few dozen children in total. .”

The little elf thought things too simply, so Liang Xihe patiently explained: "When I was about ten years old, the sponsorship suddenly stopped, and the situation in the courtyard suddenly became very bad. Volunteers and other staff They all left one after another."

"What about the dozens of children in the yard?" Ye Bai asked.

"In the first two years, I survived with donations. During this period, most of the children left, some were transferred to other courtyards, and some were adopted by caring people. The second-year student who offered me tea at the school gate Disease is one of them."

"In the end, there are seven children and one mother-in-law."

When Liang Xihe said this, his voice remained calm, and he raised his hand and took a sip of sour plum juice before continuing.

"Of the seven children, Xiao Wu and I are the oldest, and the youngest girl is just over two years old. The principal is old and sick, so he can't take care of him at all, and basically there is no source of income in the hospital. So it's me, Xiao Wu. There are also Luozi and the other three who will be the father and the mother to nurse the child."

When mentioning the events of the year, Xiao Wu, who always had a playful smile, also became expressionless.Those years were too difficult. At most, he and Luo Zi set up a stall, worked as apprentices, looked after the shop for others, and barely made a living by themselves.

The hard work is the boss.

He has been a thug and a servant, and he has always been beaten and spat on.All kinds of dirty and dangerous jobs were done by him alone, and he never let himself and Luo Zi do it.

Because after doing these, no one will be willing to adopt again.

And even if it can keep the other children from starving, they will inevitably be bullied. The boss often goes to help the little ones, and his reputation in the town is stigmatized.Otherwise, with the boss's good looks and intelligence, how could he guard that mess.

Ye Bai raised his head and glanced at Liang Fangxiang who was sitting next to him. Even now, it is difficult for him to find a way to support several children, let alone him five or six years ago.

Baby, how difficult these three simple words must be.

Compared with his real experience, his own imagination was too pale.

"Earning money to support the family is not the most painful thing. At that time, the most feared thing was that the children would get sick. If they got sick, my boss would die. Once Xiaojiu had a fever of 40 degrees in the middle of the night and met a doctor like a beast. Let me be the boss... um"

"Don't talk nonsense." Liang Xi and Shangshou blocked Xiao Wu's mouth.

Xiao Wu pushed his hand away resentfully, and added: "At that time, I thought that I would spend my whole life with my boss. Then he..."

"Shut up, who will spend the rest of their lives with you." Liang Xihe blocked Xiao Wu's mouth again, looked up to see Ye Bai's gloomy expression, "Don't listen to his nonsense."

Ye Bai knew that Xiao Wu was not talking nonsense.

What they actually experienced was much more difficult than what Xiao Wu said, and it was even hard to talk about it.

"Actually, Xiao Wu is the smartest of the group of children, and he is also likable. There have been several times when good families wanted to adopt him, but he gave up the opportunity to other children. This doesn't look like a serious person." His gray hair, which was only a little tall at that time, told me that as long as there was a child in the yard, he would not leave."

Liang Xihe hugged Xiao Wu's neck and gagged him to prevent him from speaking, but looked at him with clear eyes, "Stupid?"

Ye Bai recalled that day at the school gate, when Liang Fangfang brought Xiao Wu to the director of moral education, the firm look. It was because of this, he would not allow anyone to slander the kind child in his heart.

"What happened later? What happened to those children?" Ye Bai wanted to know how the good girl survived the gloomy days, but she was afraid that he would tell more painful experiences.

"Actually, it's good to just get used to many things." Liang Xihe said, "After another two years, four children including Luo Zi were adopted, and only me, Xiao Wu, and one named Xiaoqi's girl. At that time, Xiaowu was just fourteen years old, and she was no longer eligible for adoption."

"So the three of us thought at the time, let's grow up together like this. The future will be whatever it is. We've gotten through the hardest times. There's really nothing to be afraid of in the future. Later..."

Xiao Wu finally escaped from Liang Xihe's confinement, his face was full of hatred for that period of time, and he continued in a low voice: "I later found out that there are really more difficult things."
