[Lou Cheng] 24 solar terms

Mingtai is smart, but Minglou always thinks that Mingtai is just a little clever, quick-witted but never used in the right way, so he should be disciplined more severely, and the elder sister has been protecting her all the time, wasting those talents in vain.Ah Cheng is different, probably because he has experienced too much suffering. He is mature and restrained beyond his peers. Minglou, who has no idea, can only feel distressed when he sees him.

"Ah Cheng, you've done a good job." Ming Lou laughed, and patted the sofa beside him, "Come, come and sit."

Hearing the praise, Ah Cheng couldn't help but curled up his mouth, forced himself to tighten his expression, and sat down beside Minglou in an orderly manner, with his hands on his knees, and a pair of round eyes staring at Minglou's side. face.

To be looked at by such eyes would melt even a heart of stone, not to mention Ming Lou who has always loved him the most.Unable to resist raising his hand and pinching the young man's face, Minglou smiled and said, "Ah-Cheng works so hard, sir must reward you. Do you want anything?"

Ah Cheng shook his head: "Mr. has already given me something." He was referring to the fountain pen that Minglou specially made for him that day in Kaimeng. It is beautiful in shape and expensive. The three small characters written - to Mingcheng.

It was Mingcheng, not Ah Cheng. Minglou gave him a surname and an affiliation. To him, this was already the most precious gift in the world. Apart from that, he had nothing else to ask for.

Minglou flexed his fingers and rubbed the pages of the book on his lap, then suddenly changed the subject, and asked slowly: "What did you and Mingtai do yesterday, and you ran upstairs and downstairs at night?"

Ah Cheng was taken aback for a moment, lowered his eyes and said apologetically, "Did you disturb Mr.? I was too careless..."

"answer my question."

"Yesterday, the young master came out of school..."

Ming Lou raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Ah Cheng paused: "Yesterday Ming and Mingtai came back from school and asked me if I would make bookmarks. He said that the flowers in the backyard were blooming very beautifully. He wanted to make some to give to his classmates."

"Probably give it to a female classmate. This kid has been so thoughtful since he was a child." Ming Lou said mercilessly, but his expression was soft. Finally, he looked at Ah Cheng, and smiled again: "I never You know, my little Ah Cheng is so ingenious, can he still make these things?"

Ah Cheng shyly said: "Actually, I'm not very good at it. I tried several times last night before I managed to make it. The movement is too loud. Did it disturb my husband's rest?"

Minglou said: "You guys stayed up late last night. Why, were you busy with this all night? If I let my eldest sister know that Mingtai didn't go to bed so late, I'll be scolded later."

Ah Cheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Mingtai sleeps as usual, and he wakes up this morning in good spirits. Eldest sister will not blame you."

"Oh?" Ming Lou closed the book in his hand, "He will go to sleep obediently? Mingtai, you still listen to your words."

Ah Cheng smiled: "Mingtai went to school for a day, and when he came back, he was so absorbed in making bookmarks that he was naturally sleepy at night, so he rested on time without my persuasion." He took a careful look at Minglou: "Sir, Mingtai is still very obedient, you..."

"You're going to look at him." Minglou stared at Ah Cheng inexplicably, "So, after finishing school yesterday, he has been making bookmarks and nothing else?"

Ah Cheng thought he was asking if Ming Tai had caused trouble, but halfway through nodding his face suddenly changed, and his eyes looked over in panic.Minglou slowly unbuttoned his cuffs and smiled.

"Very good. Then Ah Cheng, when did the young master finish his homework last night?"

Ah Cheng quickly stood up from the sofa, bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry sir, it's my fault."

"You did make a mistake. Helping Mingtai finish homework is one of them, but it's actually just a small thing. Do you know where your bigger mistake is?"

Ah Cheng hesitated: "I shouldn't try to deceive Mr.

"This is only a small part, what else?"

"Please sir teach me."

Ming Lou said lightly: "Sincerity is the foundation of self-cultivation, Ah Cheng, you should not let your name down." He raised his head, saw Ah Cheng blushing with shame, paused for a while, and finally said: "But , what I really want to teach you today is not this."

"Your approach is indeed wrong, but, Cheng, if you really decide to do something, you should consider all possible influencing factors. For example, if you complete homework for Ming Tai, then you have to imitate Mingtai’s handwriting, tone, and way of thinking are written, and then you have to be consistent with Mingtai’s caliber, otherwise, as long as you are separated for a trial, everything will be clear. After that, whether this matter will be noticed or not, you must Think about how to deal with it in advance, how to answer to the teacher, how to answer to the elder sister, what to say to me, how to minimize the harm you will suffer...all of these, you have to consider go in."

"Ah Cheng, I'm not teaching you how to lie, but I must make it clear to you that in dealing with others, you must plan before you act. If you are not fully sure, then you must not put yourself in such an embarrassing situation."

"have you understood?"

Ah Cheng stood up straight and replied: "Understood." He said: "I did something wrong, please punish me."

"You should be punished, otherwise you may not remember the lesson." Minglou put down the book and stood up, his gaze fell directly on the top of Ah Cheng's hair, and he noticed that the young man's body tensed up unconsciously, clearly nervous He forced himself to be calm again, suddenly smiled, slapped the top of his hair affectionately, and took advantage of the situation and gently rubbed it twice.

"Just fine you...um...how about asking Mr. for something?"

Ah Cheng was stunned: "Huh?"

"Teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy. If the students don't do well, I, the teacher, should be punished." Minglou said, "Tell me, what do you want? As long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Ah Cheng stared at him in a daze, biting his lower lip unconsciously, Minglou knew that this was his expression when he was in a state of confusion, thought he wanted something but couldn't express it, so he couldn't help coaxing: "Didn't I teach you?" , what you want, you must say it yourself. Don't be afraid, come, tell me, my little Cheng, what kind of gift do you want?"

Ah Cheng rushed forward, his arms tightly wrapped around Minglou's neck, and his forehead hit his shoulder heavily.Minglou was taken aback, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to support Ah Cheng's back, for fear that he would fall if he didn't stand still, and immediately felt a piece of damp heat spread on the fabric on his shoulders.

Ah Cheng cried.

Minglou froze instantly.

After Ah Cheng came to Ming's house, except for the first few times when he huddled in a corner and cried silently, he almost never shed tears.And Mingtai has been the bully of the family since he was a child, and no one dared to bully him. Occasionally, when he fell and scolded, it was purely crying, so this was the first time Minglou faced his younger brother's tears.

Mr. Ming was at a loss. He thought he had spoken too hard before, but he didn't know how to comfort him. In the end, he could only put his hand on Ah Cheng's back, patted him gently, and gently coaxed him: "Don't Cry, don’t cry, let’s go eat dim sum, shall we? Eldest sister brought a lot of new pastries back from Suzhou this time, do you want to try Ah Cheng?”

"...Brother..."

Ah Cheng yelled vaguely, but Minglou could hear him clearly.

This is the first time Ah Cheng called Big Brother.

Even after staying in this family for a long time, Ah Cheng is still not used to being the second young master of the Ming family. He still often refers to Mingjing and Mingtai as "Miss" and "Master". He is always referred to as "Mr."For the former, Minglou would always remind him when talking to him, but for the latter, Minglou never took it to heart.From Minglou's point of view, it is good to be called Mr., which is a title that belongs exclusively to Ah Cheng. Although sometimes calling him Big Brother seems closer, but Mingtai doesn't call him Big Brother?Doesn't sound any better than mr.

However, today, Minglou finally knows that the same name, but different people calling the exit, give people completely different feelings.

Sir, is the teacher, walking in front of this child, teaching him to read, teach him to be a man, to be his lighthouse, his sail, his pointing mark, and his guide; Behind him, give him warmth, give him support, give him comfort, and when he is most vulnerable, give him wordless love and hugs.

Minglou breathed a sigh of relief.

Wait for the east wind to thaw, wait for the stinging insects to vibrate for the second time, and wait for the fish to bear the ice for the third time.

The ice is broken.

After that, even if the frost and cold are still there, what does it matter?

Ding Spiegel, who has been traveling for three months, finally negotiated a few big deals at hand, and came back from Hong Kong with big and small bags.

The eldest sister’s return home is a big deal in Ming’s house. When Minglou heard the news, he immediately canceled a reading exchange meeting organized by students. He called the driver to pick up Ah Cheng and Mingtai from school, and hurried Hurry up, and finally sat on the sofa in the living room before Ming Jing stepped into the house, and opened the newspaper bought on the way.

Hearing the noise coming from the door, Ming Lou greeted him courteously and took the things in Ming Jing's hand, followed by him: "Eldest sister is back, is the journey going well? Did you sleep well? Did you eat to your liking?"

Ming Jing glanced at him with a half-smile: "Being courteous to others, one must ask for something."

Minglou laughed and said, "Eldest sister has wronged me. Elder sister has something to do, why don't you allow younger brother to do his job?"

Ming Jing stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead: "It also said that the station will be smart all day long to please me. If you want me to say, it's very sweet when it comes to talking.
