little uncle

Cheng Yu sighed.No matter how obedient and sensible a child is, it is impossible to recover quickly after experiencing the pain of losing his father, not to mention that the whereabouts of the child's mother is still unknown.It's not hard for Cheng Yu to imagine what kind of uneasiness Zhou Hongyuan felt in his heart at this time.

From a certain point of view, Zhou Hongyuan's growth environment was very similar to Cheng Yu's, with frequent beatings and scolding, poverty, but Xiao Hongyuan was a little more unfortunate. At least Cheng Yu had a good mother back then.

In terms of educating future generations, Zhou Yunwei and Zhou Jun are handed down in the same line, and there is a bit of a sense that the young comes from the blue and is better than the blue.

Cheng Yu bent down, looked at Zhou Hongyuan, and said softly, "Honey, don't you like uncle's place?"

Zhou Hongyuan raised his head, and Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing at his face, "No, no... I like this place very much, and also, Uncle."

Cheng Yu's heart was almost softened into a puddle of water, with colorful bubbles, "Uncle likes Hongyuan very much too." As he spoke, he rubbed Zhou Hongyuan's soft hair and continued, "Don't worry Hongyuan, you If mom doesn't come to pick you up for a day, I won't let you go."

Zhou Hongyuan opened his eyes wide, not only his eyes, but also his mouth into a big "o". After a while, he quickly lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Thank you...thank you uncle."

It's not that he doesn't want to believe it.He couldn't believe it.

Cheng Yu didn't know what Zhou Hongyuan was thinking, so he didn't say anything.He said these words to Zhou Hongyuan, not for the child's gratitude.

After some reassurance, Cheng Yu noticed that it was pitch black outside the window.He rubbed his head and said to Zhou Hongyuan, "Sit on the chair and watch TV for a while, uncle will cook for you."

Cheng Yu walked to the kitchen in three steps and opened the refrigerator, but it was empty inside. It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, not to mention how can he be a smart woman, so he had to rummage through the cabinet, and finally found two packs of instant noodles in the cabinet.

According to Cheng Yu's temper in the past, he just soaked it in hot water and ate it straight away, but now it's different, he has become Xiao Hongyuan's guardian, and he has to think about the child's health.

Cheng Yu carefully searched for the expiration date, and after confirming that there are still a few months before the expiration date, he put the instant noodles into the pot, added water, boiled, and seasoned, all done in one go.

No matter how bad a cook is, he still has a soul when he encounters instant noodles. When two bowls of hot instant noodles were brought to the table, both of them swallowed their saliva.

The two of them only ate some biscuits along the way, and they were already like two hungry wolves at this time, but they stuffed all the noodles in the bowl into their mouths with just a few chopsticks, and after eating the noodles, look at me, uncle and nephew, and I look at you , are somewhat unfinished.

Just for a moment, both of them looked away.

As for Zhou Hongyuan, he was hungry and dared not talk about the suffering of being dependent on others, and the most painful thing was his stomach; as for Cheng Yu, he didn't dare to leave, for fear that Xiao Hongyuan would sift the chaff at home in fear when he went to the canteen to buy a package of dried noodles.

It's just that the two uncles and nephews don't know each other well. Although they have their own thoughts in their hearts, no one dares to say them out. In the end, they both smiled implicitly and said tacitly, "I'm full."

After the "satisfaction" was over and the dishes were cleaned up, the atmosphere became a little awkward.After all, one is a nephew and the other is an uncle, and now they are locked together again, and everything has to be adapted from scratch.

Cheng Yu is a young man in his early twenties. He has neither been an elder brother nor an elder for others. He was scratching his head thinking about the way to change the atmosphere. Finally, he had to turn on the TV, tune to the children's channel, and ask, " Do you want to watch cartoons?"

Zhou Hongwei turned his head to look at him, paused, and then said, "Okay."

The cartoon version of "Journey to the West" was shown on the TV. Cheng Yu watched Zhou Hongyuan's reaction non-stop while watching it. He observed it for 10 minutes and realized that Zhou Hongwei definitely didn't like it. look at this.

Cheng Yu scratched his head and thought, is it because cartoons are not suitable, or he doesn't like "Journey to the West", or is the chair at home too hard, making it uncomfortable to sit on?

Finally, when the episode was over, Cheng Yu turned off the TV, gave Zhou Hongyuan a sly smile, and said, "Are you sleepy? Or go take a shower."

Zhou Hongyuan lowered his head again, and walked into the bathroom with Cheng Yu.

The bathroom is extremely small, and it has a combination of toilet and shower, and there are only two people standing next to it, one big and one small.Cheng Yu walked under the shower, took the shower in his hand, turned on the faucet, and motioned, "Turn on the blue side, it's cold water, and turn on the red side, it's hot water, come on, this time Uncle will adjust it for you first—”

Zhou Hongyuan nodded and agreed.

Cheng Yu then walked outside the door, pointed to the bamboo basket on the door, and said, "You can just put your clothes here, call me after washing, and I'll bring you bath towels."

Zhou Hongyuan raised his head abruptly, meeting Cheng Yu's puzzled eyes, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Hongyuan shook his head again and said, "It's nothing."

Cheng Yu smiled, thinking that he might be afraid, so he said softly, "Uncle is in the living room, as soon as you call me, I'll come over."

Only then did Zhou Hongyuan nod his head. Cheng Yu touched his shoulder and closed the door tightly.

Cheng Yu almost fell asleep in the living room when he heard two faint "uncles". He hurriedly sent the bath towels over, but without thinking, Zhou Hongyuan put his hand on the door.

Cheng Yu scratched his head, feeling amused in his heart, this child is really too shy, he had no choice but to pass the bath towel through the crack of the door, and said, "Come out after wiping, so as not to catch a cold."

Zhou Hongyuan didn't speak, Cheng Yu felt a little embarrassed, neither retreated nor entered, and finally waited blankly at the door.

But after a while, Xiao Hongyuan came out of the bathroom, his little face was flushed red by the heat, and the soft fur lay on his head obediently, making people want to touch it.

Cheng Yu rubbed his nose, held back, and just whispered, "Go and put on your vest."

When Cheng Yu also finished washing, one big and one small sat on the 1.5-meter single bed, you leaned on me, and I leaned on you.When he was bored, Cheng Yu searched and found many jokes to tell Zhou Hongyuan, but Zhou Hongyuan just smiled politely, and then returned to calmness.

Cheng Yu saw that he was not very interested, and then vaguely felt that no matter how funny a joke is for a child who has just undergone tremendous changes, it is useless.

Damn, it's not like he hasn't been through this himself.Why do you forget everything now that you are older and an adult?

Cheng Yu leaned closer to him, but still didn't think he was close enough, so he stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his shoulders, and said solemnly, "Hongyuan, when your mother is away, my uncle will accompany you and take care of you." You, teach you to read and study, you have to trust uncle, okay?"

Zhou Hongyuan frowned, and finally, under Cheng Yu's gaze, he nodded lightly. Cheng Yu didn't see the perfunctory, and happily rubbed Zhou Hongyuan's head.

Gradually, both uncle and nephew became sleepy, Cheng Yu got up and turned off the light, and in the darkness, the two of them were still close to each other, after a while, Zhou Hongyuan moved a few inches away, probably because he was not used to it.Cheng Yu felt Zhou Hongyuan's movements, and said embarrassedly, "Hongyuan, spend the night with uncle today, and tomorrow, I'll buy you a bed tomorrow."

Zhou Hongyuan gave a "hmm", and then said very sensiblely, "It doesn't matter, I am very satisfied if I have a place to live."

Cheng Yu rubbed his head, but what was on his mind was, where should the bed be placed?
