The world is cool

Putting aside those messy emotions, Li Xiaobao is actually a very likable child, lively and innocent.Saying what comes to mind is a bit like the little lunatic back then in that he can't hide his words, but he's more reliable than the little lunatic, at least he won't make frequent remarks that make the audience want to beat him up.

"Brother, did you guys get bullied in the movie back then? I acted so wickedly in the movie. It was a dark hell on earth!" The child's favorite thing to do recently is to listen to me tell stories about the prison after dinner , and often listening to it, his eyes shine, as if he has infinite reverie and yearning for that place.

"I don't know how it is elsewhere. Anyway, our socialist prison is just like the song. The sky in the liberated area is sunny~~The people in the liberated area like it~~"

"Brother, are you sure you are talking about prisons and not Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia?"

The little lunatic and Zhou Cheng don't come here very often at night, and they come here occasionally just to have a bite of food, so the time after eight o'clock is mostly like this - I tell stories to Li Xiaobao, or Li Xiaobao tells stories to me, and Huahua is in the Watch TV on one end of the sofa and listen to it from time to time.

Normally, Huahua doesn't comment on my prison story. Yesterday I praised the bastard as a flower, but he just smiled secretly and didn't correct me.But when Li Xiaobao told me the story of their art learning, Huahua's reaction was much more straightforward, and she would seriously reject the exaggeration, and then Li Xiaobao could only touch his nose and repeat.

In Li Xiaobao's narration, I know Huahua's hard work and sweat, I know the ruthlessness and strictness of the chef, I know the high-end and luxury of the big hotel, and I know the bustle and prosperity of Beijing.The year and a half of Huahua's blankness gradually took shape, with pictures, colors, and even sounds. I no longer have to secretly hold the QQ chat records to reminisce, ponder, and imagine.

Although this is a bit different from what I expected, because I originally thought that Huahua would tell me all these things, and then I could sigh at the difficult places, laugh at the embarrassing places, and encourage the achievements... not like this now, Just listen.But after all, I still know what I want to know, so I am content.

Chatting with Li Xiaobao is buy one get one free, he not only talks about flowers, but also about himself.Originally, I only knew that the child is also from the province, but after talking with him, I realized that it is in a subordinate county of the city next door to us. Although my family is a rural area, my parents have been contracting orchards for many years, and life is not too hard. Compared with other villages in the same village Son, he is not subdued.However, he spoke late when he was a child, and he didn't speak until he was six years old, so his parents thought he was dumb, so he was sent to a deaf-mute primary school to study. Who would have thought that when he was 12 years old, he suddenly spoke, which frightened his parents Surprised and delighted, I hurriedly set things right, but after all, I spent the entire elementary school in a school for the deaf, so the child's sign language is very fluent.Later, because I didn't like studying and wanted to see the world, I went out to work.

"Many people in the village have come out to work, and several of them have made a lot of money. When I make a lot of money in the future, I will take my parents to the city." Life is like tomorrow.

I couldn't help raising my hand to touch his head, just like I used to touch Huahua, but found that Huahua also raised her hand, but it was a step behind me, so I retracted it.At that moment, I had an illusion, as if Huahua had become me back then, and Li Xiaobao had become Huahua back then.

Everyone has their own place, except Feng Yiyi now.

It may be a matter of habit, Li Xiaobao always goes to bed very early, usually at 10:30 he is sleepy, and then he slips into the bedroom and never comes out again.My habit is to go to bed after twelve o'clock. I don't know why. I haven't slept much in the past two years, but Huahua also went to twelve o'clock, which surprised me.I remember that before leaving home, he was also a master who yawned before eleven o'clock.

I also thought about whether he was trying to match my time or just to accompany me, but after a while, this kind of self-indulgent thought was completely extinguished by me.There was no other reason, but during the hour or so left between us, most of the activities were watching TV. I was very bored watching TV, but Hua Hua watched it very seriously, so I couldn't easily interrupt it.Besides, it is very painful to gossip without a topic and forcefully find a topic. I am really not good at this.

When I first came back, I really wanted to know Huahua's thoughts, for returning, for me, for himself, for the future life, no matter what.But now that urgency seems to have calmed down with the flow of days.Because the original intention of wanting to know is to have a direction for future life, to know what to do and where to work hard, but now you don’t have to bother to guess, life itself develops very well, I want to know what everyone thinks, What expectations, just look at the direction of the day, this is the result of the joint action of the expectations of all the people in it.

"Your junior brother is definitely a treasure." I took a bite of the apple and said casually.

Sometimes the atmosphere is too quiet, and I will add a sentence or two like this, otherwise I always feel weird.

Huahua is the type who never takes his eyes off the TV if you don’t talk about it. I also don’t understand how good the crime dramas in the midnight theater are, but as soon as I open my mouth, he will always give up the TV and turn around. , chat seriously.

I am relieved.

Is it a bit like Rong Kai?Huahua typed to ask me.

I nodded, and then added: "Fortunately, the collection is all positive characteristics of the little lunatic."

Huahuale: He also has convulsions.

I smiled, not really wanting to see the look in Hua Hua's eyes: "It's probably only with you, I didn't see it."

You will know later.

Cleaning up my emotions, I said sincerely: "Well, it's actually quite rare, I always feel like I have another younger brother."

Huahua typed quickly, and then handed it to me with a delicate expression. I saw what was written on it: You are much more lovable than when I was this age, right?

I thought about it seriously, and answered honestly: "It's completely incomparable. That guy had so much backbone at that time, he was determined not to eat what he got, and looking at Xiaobao, he almost hugged his thigh."

Huahua was so teased that she burst into laughter, and almost dropped the mobile phone that was swaying back and forth.

In my impression, Huahua has never been so happy, and today my eyes are opened.

Huahua is still the same Huahua, but it doesn't seem to be that Huahua. In the past, Feng Yiyi hoped that Huahua would be happy, but now Feng Yiyi is a little at a loss when facing the cheerful Huahua.

As I lay in bed at night, I thought about what I had said.It is true to say that Li Xiaobao's arrival seems to have added a younger brother, but in fact, the feeling that this younger brother gave me is still different from that of Huahua back then.Can't say exactly where, but there is a huge difference.If Li Xiaobao is like Coke, sweet and cold, although short-lived, it is also a brisk joy, then Huahua is like wine, although it gets more mellow as it is brewed, and although the aftertaste is long, the taste of a hangover is really unpleasant.I always thought I just left this wine undisturbed, but in fact I had already drank it, and it was impossible to verify when I drank it. When I became conscious, it was already the next morning, and I had no memory of the smell of the wine. All that remains is the cracking headache of the hangover, murderous and long-lasting.

If Huahua met now instead of back then, maybe he just listened to a can of Coke, maybe people’s relationship will become weak when they get older, I think.

But no one came to help me realize this "if" wish.

It rained for more than a week at the end of April, and it reached its peak on this day. The raindrops slapped on the window like beans, and the sound was so loud that several waiters joked that it looked like it was raining, but it was clearly hailstones. .

There were no guests in the front hall, and the back kitchen was naturally not busy, so Li Xiaobao rushed out early to watch TV cheerfully with the waiters. It was obviously a dating show, but it made them see the effect of the sketch.

I also followed blindly for a while, only to realize that Huahua was still in the back kitchen.I was a little surprised, so I went to the back to see what Huahua was doing.But he didn't expect that he was sitting at the door of the storage room with a book in his hand, reading it intently.I always thought that this kind of look would only appear on Zhou Cheng, so I froze there for more than half a minute at first, and then slowly recovered.

Unexpected, but reasonable.Huahua has matured, and this maturity is not only reflected in character, but also in all aspects.For example, when I first handed over the kitchen to them, I was a little worried, so I went to the back kitchen several times when there were a lot of guests, worrying that they were in a hurry, but in fact Huahua was much calmer than I expected. Everything, including Li Xiaobao, is efficient and orderly under his scheduling.Thinking about it this way, it seemed logical for Huahua, who was serious about studying.

I gently knocked on the door panel, and Huahua raised her head from the book.

"Everyone is in front, so don't stay here alone."

Huahua raised the book in his hand, indicating that he had only read half of it.

I didn't take it seriously: "There is no time to finish reading the book. Zhou Cheng has been studying since he was in prison. Except for the degree of myopia, he has not seen any increase in other things."

Huahua sighed, closed the book, got up and walked over, her expression seemed to say, well, I can't beat you.

I smiled with satisfaction, turned around and was about to go back to the front hall, but suddenly he grabbed my arm.

I was stunned and looked back at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Huahua let go of her hands, and stood there with her lips pursed, as if she had something to do, but hesitated a bit.

I waited quietly for the next chapter, without the slightest irritability. I found that patience is the most important thing I need now, especially when facing Huahua. It seems that as long as he is willing to talk to me, I can give him endless time.

Finally, Huahua started to write on the phone, but she wrote very slowly. After a long time, I finally saw the words: Why didn't I see Sister Zou?

I looked at Huahua in surprise, because no one mentioned the past since I came back, and I thought everyone knew it.

Huahua didn't look away, just stood there and let me look at him, but his eyes were too calm, so calm that he couldn't read his emotions at all, at least, I couldn't see through.

Swallowing with difficulty, I carefully considered my words: "After you left, the hotel was not doing very well for a while, and it was almost impossible to pay wages, so they all left..."

Huahua nodded, as if she accepted the statement, and didn't continue to ask.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

A person always lies for himself several times in his life, maybe Huahua has seen the flaw, but even if he is as smart as Zhou Cheng, he still can't imagine me and Sister Zou getting along well, that's enough.

As for why Huahua didn't want Huahua to know this, I can't explain.

"What are you two doing here?" Li Xiaobao suddenly appeared from the door, "The show is over!"

My black line: "What's so good about a bad blind date? Why don't you watch the news if you have this time."

Li Xiaobao curled his lips, like a little grown-up: "Brother, this is you OUT, now blind dates are the number one problem for older men and women, how can you start a career if you don't have a family?"

Well, this is still a set.

"By the way, big brother!" The child suddenly remembered something.

I squinted my eyes, feeling a bad premonition.

"Why aren't you married yet?"

Sure enough, shot.

What can I say.Say I don't have feelings for women?Do I have to jerk off thinking of guys now?Or a volcanic tsunami hurricane or something will take me away...

"One is pretty good, why don't you get married and spend a lot of money just to find someone to take care of you, isn't this a disease of the brain." As soon as the words came out, I admired my adaptability and IQ.

"Brother, your idea is very novel!" The child's expression suddenly brightened, "Hurry up, tell me carefully, my parents are always urging me to find a partner, I am so annoyed, I will talk to you next time." Urge me, I'll block them with this!"

I rubbed my forehead, and just wanted to ask if you dare to be serious, but Huahua made a move one step ahead of me.

It's sign language again, I'm very annoyed seeing this now, it's annoying.

But Li Xiaobao naturally started making gestures too.I don't know what they are talking about, but it must be the topic just now. Judging by their expressions, it seems that Huahua and I have the same idea. They both think that Li Xiaobao is unreliable. I said something else, but what did I say? No matter how distracted I was, I couldn't figure it out, so I could only watch Li Xiaobao as an idiot. It looks like a smile.

I quietly exited the back kitchen.

It was a world that only they could understand, and I was stuck there, just out of place.

I dare not say whether human nature is cheap, but Feng Yiyi must be a cheap person anyway.You don't want others to treat you well. You don't know how much you care until there are others around him.

I don't make any other comments except that I deserve it.
