like drinking ice

In order for Ruirui to go to bed earlier, my store closes after six o'clock, and Niuniu's father has not returned from the police station, so I take him home to sleep with Ruirui.Ruirui fell asleep and was still very heavy to hold. Fortunately, Niu Niu was very good. He tried to climb the stairs with his short legs, and his little bald head was covered with sweat.

I bathed the two children, put on diapers for them to sleep, Niu Niu ate a lot, in case he was hungry in the middle of the night, and fed him supper, Niu Niu ate happily in a pair of shorts, with a mouth full of food Tell me: "Father Ruirui, you are really a good person."

I was busy until eight o'clock, I ate by myself, read a book for a while, and got ready to go to bed.The street where I opened the shop is the night market of the school, and the cold drink shop opposite is always open after ten o'clock.

In the middle of the night, I was woken up by Xiaoxin's phone call.

"Xu Yan," this is the name on the ID card Li Xiu found for me, Xiaoxin said to me mysteriously: "There is someone outside your house."

"What?" I got up in a daze.

"Don't go out and look." Xiaoxin quickly stopped me: "But he shouldn't be a bad person. He is tall and handsome. He is sleeping next to your door. I just came back from shopping and I was shocked."

I went straight to the door and opened the door.

Zheng Ao put on his work clothes, sat on the ground, curled up into a ball, and fell asleep on the wall in front of me.He woke up as soon as I opened the door, probably the light in the living room was too bright, he frowned and covered his eyes with his hands.

"It will take two days for the salary to be paid in advance." He squinted his eyes slightly, and said before I opened my mouth to evict the guest: "The boss wants me to sleep in her house, and I said I have a place to sleep. I don't mean to live in your house, Now the weather is quite warm, I am in good health, and it is fine to sleep outside."

With my hand on the door, I stood and watched him for a while.

"How much pay?"

"Three thousand." He was probably very sleepy, and leaned his head against the wall. His hair was always beautiful, like satin, and it really contrasted sharply against the rough concrete walls of the residential building: "The boss asked me to advance one thousand and five."

"The cheapest house here costs [-] a month. You pay three for one deposit. How do you rent it?"

"I can stay in a hotel." He said lazily, unable to keep his eyes open.

"Most of the hotels near the school are student couples who have slept in open rooms." I asked him, "Are you sure you can bear it?"

The Zheng family has a good tutor, and they don't even bother to live in the presidential suite of the hotel. They think that other people's things have been slept in, and everything has to be brand new.The Zheng family entertained guests with new cotton sheets, which were thrown away once.I said it, but I hoped that he would retreat in the face of difficulties.

Zheng Ao sat on the ground, leaning against the wall with his legs bent, one hand resting on his knee, and the other blocking the light from the living room. His hair was hanging down, looking very sleepy.

"Then I'll just sleep here." He said kindly, and lazily threw aside the plastic bag thrown by someone who didn't know who was throwing it on the ground, which was considered to be cleaning his "bedroom".When the light came from the living room, I realized that the windbreaker was covered by him, and it was almost like pickles.He was only wearing a white shirt, and when the corridor draft blew, I felt cold in my woolen pajamas and pajamas.

I stood at the door and looked at him, not knowing what to say.

But he remained calm, even closed his eyes, and did not forget to tell me: "I have to go to work at eight o'clock tomorrow, so you should go to bed early, good night."

I was so angry at his sloppy attitude that I slammed the door, walked around the living room twice, picked up the blanket on the sofa, felt lighter, and went to the wardrobe to turn over a quilt.

When I opened the door again, he probably thought I was telling him to go in, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I threw down the blanket and quilt in my hand.

"Blanket pad, quilt cover," I said coldly, "Don't pretend to be pitiful, I won't let you in if you freeze to death."

It was already nine o'clock when I went out the next day.

The sun was shining brightly in the corridor, and a thin layer of dust fell on the ground.

"Hey." Rui Rui exclaimed.

He also recognized that the quilts and blankets that were hung on the handrails of the corridor were our family’s quilts and blankets. The quilts were okay, and they were barely folded neatly. Most of the people probably gave up on themselves, and left in a group.

Ruirui is very smart, she didn't ask any questions when she saw me put the quilt and blanket in, but she just looked angry and unhappy.

I did remember something else.

The matter of sleeping is easy to solve, but where did he eat yesterday's meal?

The question was quickly answered.

The sun is rare in autumn, so I hugged Ruirui outside to bask in the sun, and fed him. Xiaoxin also came to my house to have a meal after taking a break at noon.

"Wow, this is the third bento today, isn't it?" She scooped up her rice with a spoon and ate it, while looking at the cold drink shop across the way, she sighed: "Is this a talent show? The girl just gave me a cross." Let's embroider..."

"And my sister gave me a scarf." Niu Niu, who was squatting on the ground, added.

Xiaoxin looked at it for a while, and concluded: "This is really a world that depends on faces."

I didn't bother, I warmed up the rice and fed it to Rui Rui. Rui Rui has been angry all morning, and her little face is almost wrinkled into a bun.

Because Ruirui refused to eat at noon, I had to spend time cooking minced meat porridge for him. He was taking a nap, and Niu Niu was playing outside. Although Niu Niu is a naive kid, he is still very alert and is not easy to be abducted .

I went out to see it because I heard the voice outside.

Rui Rui blocked the door, with his arms slightly open, confronting Zheng Ao, Zheng Ao was still wearing the uniform of the cold drink shop, probably taking a break at noon, and came to have a look, Rui Rui blocked the door, with a very serious expression on his face. is embarrassing.

"...you are not allowed to come in!" Rui Rui yelled at him: "You are a bad person, you accept gifts from others, you are not allowed to find my father!"

Zheng Ao scratched his head and smiled helplessly.

"Because I'm very hungry," he smiled and patted Ruirui's head: "Your father won't give me food, I'm so hungry that I'm dying."

"You are a liar." Ruirui dodged his hand, still fierce: "You are a liar!"

"I didn't lie to you," Zheng Ao squatted down, looked into his eyes seriously and told him, "If I don't eat all the time, I will get sick. If I get sick, I can't come to see your father and you. Played. You don't like this too, do you?"

Ruirui snorted and turned her head to the side: "I hate you!"

Zheng Ao was not angry, and still patiently coaxed him in a low voice.

The sun was so bright outside, he was wearing white clothes from a soda shop, and a white hat on his head. Although his hair was a bit messy, he still looked handsome and gentle because of the smile on his face.He is like an ordinary young father, communicating with his children helplessly.Probably there is a blood relationship between father and son. Under the sun, this scene looks very warm.

But where is my place?

I haven't called Li Xiu for a long time. For a long time, I wanted to completely cut off contact with my past life.I actually know why Li Xiu said that to me when I left Beijing that day, because he also knew that I would not look back.If you don’t say it then, you won’t have a chance in the future.

Even if I still owe Zheng Ao something, I will pay it back on Rui Rui.Zheng Ao did not have a good childhood, I will make up for him little by little.

It's just that I don't know if this is what Rui Rui wanted.Perhaps compared to my father, he would prefer Zheng Ao who looks exactly like him.

The phone was quickly picked up.

"Who!" Li Xiu's tone was still very dry: "It's better to speak quickly, the young master is in a bad mood right now."

I hesitated.

But the other side has already reflected: "Hey! Talk! Is it Xu Lang?"

"It's me." I told him, "Zheng Ao found me."

Li Xiu cursed.

"I knew it would be no good for this grandson to block me here!" He said in an unhappy voice, "I'm not in Beijing now, I'm blocked in the northeast. Fuck, did he trouble you?"

"It's not that he's looking for trouble. He's a little confused now." I asked him, "How's the situation in Beijing now? Why did he say he's going to drop everything and come here?"

"Damn! Did he really do this?" Li Xiu looked like he knew it a long time ago: "Did he tell you who is helping him now?"

"He said it was your father, and Yu Susu. Yu Susu is Ye Susu, right? She changed her surname, did her parents separate? How is it now?"

"Day!" Li Xiu was very upset: "As expected, my father sold me!"

I couldn't believe it: "You mean your dad..."

"It's him! My dad!" Li Xiu was also so angry that he called out his name: "Li Zhurong. He sold me because of a thread in Zheng Ao's hand, I want to tell my dad!"

The latter dad obviously refers to my dad, and I can't answer the conversation.

"Anyway, don't forgive him now, just delay him for as long as you can." Li Xiu didn't know if he was laughing out of anger or if he was really planning something: "When I get away, young master, I won't kill this lover. He plays Red Fuye and rushes to the gold basin to wash his hands, right? I'll teach him how to be a man first."

"Okay, don't worry, I'm fine here." I saw that he was in danger, so I didn't tell him about helping, so I comforted him and hung up the phone.

When I came out again, the cold drink shop opposite started to get busy again, but there were still a bunch of people.Ruirui is sitting at the door playing a deck of cards, although she still looks a little angry, but it can be seen that she is in a better mood than before.

I think he still likes Zheng Ao very much.
