little uncle

It was not easy to get through school, until Kong Dezheng left while calling friends and chatting loudly, until the whole classroom was left with only him and his classmates on duty, and until it became dark and the surroundings became quiet.

Same as yesterday, it seemed worse than yesterday, Zhou Hongyuan still didn't want to go home.

He couldn't explain why the cup he just bought broke, and he couldn't face Cheng Yu's caring gaze. His campus life was so bad that he himself felt that he wasn't worthy of Cheng Yu's care.

Of course he knew that he had a special place in Cheng Yu's heart at this time. Last night's embrace was not fake, but the love of adults is too fragile, sometimes even without falling to the ground, it can be transformed into a person with just a blow of wind or rain. Flour.

Cheng Yu is so important to him, he is light and God, sometimes he even feels that Cheng Yu is his life.

Without Cheng Yu, he probably couldn't survive.In his heart, he has this self-knowledge.

Zhou Hongyuan's mind was in a mess, his heart was up and down, and he walked home slowly. What was waiting for him was the slightly dim yellow light in the living room. A familiar figure, and a gentle smile.

Zhou Hongyuan's fluctuating heart suddenly fell to the ground.For a few moments, he almost completely considers himself home.

Zhou Hongyuan put away his grievances, pulled himself together, smiled back at his little uncle, put his schoolbag on the ground, and then had dinner with his god.

For Zhou Hongyuan, the days of going to school were painful and long. Finally, on Friday, Cheng Yu made potato stewed beef to celebrate.

Today, the life of the uncle and nephew depends entirely on Cheng Yu's scholarship and part-time job income. They are living a poor life. Although they are not too short of food and clothing, they are still struggling.Cheng Yu felt sorry for his little nephew, so he refused to deduct Zhou Hongyuan's food and clothing expenses. As for himself, his life was not so easy. In the morning, he had dry bread and water, at noon, he had steamed buns and boiled vegetables, and at night Zhou Hongyuan had to return The food at home is stir-fried vegetables with minced meat, but he himself only eats vegetables.

Whenever Cheng Yu can't eat vegetables anymore, or feels bitter, he can always think of Cheng Manhong.My mother has no education, and the only thing she can give me is boundless love.But it's just such a middle-aged woman who doesn't know a lot of characters, who has supported the whole sky for herself, so that she can grow up and become a talent.

Cheng Yu has no experience in taking care of children, all his experience comes from this woman.Every time he recalled the figure of his late mother, and every time he thought of the way his mother pushed delicious meals to his side, Cheng Yu was deeply moved, and suddenly felt that all this was actually not that bitter.In short, he is the parent and Xiao Hongyuan's elder, so everything is as it should be.

In hard days, beef is a proper luxury for the uncle and nephew, and they don't eat it easily.Now to celebrate the weekend, Cheng Yu gritted his teeth and bought it.

Although Cheng Yu's cooking skills are poor, he is good enough to be obedient and know how to "follow the scriptures". He specially checked the recipes on the Internet and followed the recipes step by step. Nothing is too bad.

Zhou Hongyuan is just at the age of growing body and consumes a lot of energy. When he got home, he was already hungry. Seeing the delicious food, he ate like a beast.Seeing his nephew eating happily, Cheng Yu felt happy, and while saying "eat slowly, no one will compete with you", he kept adding more food to Zhou Hongyuan's bowl.

After eating, it was the long-lost TV time.

Cheng Yu is a chatterbox, even if he doesn't respond, he can babble for a long time by himself. After a long time, Zhou Hongyuan's ears have formed an automatic blocking function, and only reply a few perfunctory "um, um" when necessary, while Cheng Yu He didn't know what Yu said.

"May I ask you something, Hongyuan?"

When Cheng Yu called Zhou Hongyuan's name for the third time, Zhou Hongyuan vaguely heard it, licked his lips in embarrassment, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Yu glanced at his nephew angrily, and said, "I'm asking you something, how did you get along with your classmates this week? No one bullied you, right?"

Cheng Yu didn't ask Zhou Hongyuan how he was doing in school, but only asked if he was being bullied, but Zhou Hongyuan would rather Cheng Yu ask about his studies, even if he had a paper to test himself.

Zhou Hongyuan frowned slightly, and choked out "It's okay" for a long time.

Cheng Yu guessed early on that Zhou Hongyuan was being bullied at school, from the "ripped pants" on the first day, to the disappearing water glass on the second day, to the gloom on his nephew's face every day afterwards.

Originally, Cheng Yu couldn't notice such trivial things as water cups.But Cheng Manhong is a careful woman. When Cheng Yu was still in middle school, Cheng Manhong never forgot to pour a bottle of water for Cheng Yu every morning and put it in her schoolbag.Cheng Yu didn't think much of Cheng Manhong's behavior at first, but after he went to college, no one helped him pour water every day, and every time he was so thirsty that he smoked in the study room, he remembered his mother's kindness.Because of this, Cheng Yu copied what Cheng Manhong did back then to Zhou Hongyuan.It was also for this reason that Cheng Yu discovered that the bottle had disappeared.

He didn't think much about it at the time, and asked Zhou Hongyuan casually where he put the water bottle, but Zhou Hongyuan's reaction was extremely unnatural, he hesitated for a long time, and said that he had lost it.

Cheng Yu himself has a carefree personality, it is common for him to be unable to find things, and even lose things from time to time, he can't stop spending twenty to ten minutes a day just wasting his time looking for glasses and keys.But Zhou Hongyuan has the completely opposite temperament to him, he loves cleanliness and neatness, everything should be placed properly, and everything should be placed in an orderly manner.If Zhou Hongyuan lost his water glass on the second day of school, Cheng Yu would not believe it.

Cheng Yu didn't expose him.If the child doesn't want to say it, there are reasons why he doesn't want to say it, and he doesn't force it.He was just on his way to work part-time, and bought a new cup for his little nephew.However, this time he bought a fall-resistant and bump-resistant model, which cost a full 30 yuan.

When Zhou Hongyuan said "it's okay" against his will, Cheng Yu knew that it was time.

"Hongyuan, I didn't talk to you before because I was worried that it would affect your class, but today, uncle wants to talk to you."

Zhou Hongyuan trembled, and looked at his uncle unnaturally, then quickly withdrew his gaze, only staring at the advertisement on TV, "What are you talking about?"

Cheng Yu didn't hesitate, "Is someone bullying you at school?"

Zhou Hongyuan frowned, without raising his head, "No...you don't have to worry." He neither wanted to worry Cheng Yu, nor disappointed Cheng Yu, nor did he want to admit that he was an unwelcome trash.

Cheng Yu leaned a little closer to his nephew. It was a distance that made Zhou Hongyuan, who was slightly obsessed with cleanliness, feel a little uncomfortable. Zhou Hongyuan's heart thumped twice, and his emotions were tossed in tension, discomfort and shame. He didn't dare to move, just He looked down at his hands.

Cheng Yu was persuasive, "I am your uncle and your guardian. It is my duty to take care of you and protect you. So, if you encounter any difficulties, or if someone bullies you, you must tell your uncle, and your uncle will take care of you." Handle this matter very properly... Hongyuan, don't be afraid, let uncle help you?"

Cheng Yu's words fell into Zhou Hongyuan's ears without saying a word.What Cheng Yu said was so natural that for a few seconds, Zhou Hongyuan even forgot that his former guardian was the one who hurt him the most.

Obviously, my biological parents beat and scolded me at will, but how could this young cheap uncle, the guardian who suddenly popped up at the funeral, protect me forever?

Since this protection is time-sensitive, it is better not to have it in the first place.Anyway, Cheng Yu would always be bored and bored, and he would only be alone in the end.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hongyuan felt that his fate was somewhat tragic and beautiful. He smiled vainly, and played out the drama against his will to the end, saying, "There was a little contradiction at first." Then, he smiled innocently and cutely, "But now It's all settled."

Cheng Yu opened his mouth, but didn't speak out what was in his heart. After a few seconds, he smiled and said, "Then tell uncle when you want to talk later."
