brother brother

After returning home, Xu Zhiyuan's parents left in a hurry because they still had dinner parties at night, left some money for them, and specially told Xu Zhiyuan to be a good little master, ordered takeaway when he was hungry, and introduced his family to his brother. In this situation, you are not allowed to bully your brother.

In their era, there were not many merchants offering takeaway food, most of them were foreign fast food, unlike later, takeaway platforms sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and they could order whatever they wanted.

Xu Zhiyuan hesitated for a while between eating foreign food or just cooking noodles. Considering his impressive noodle cooking skills, he still thought it would be more practical to order a pizza.

He looked out of the window, and the sun was covered by dark clouds, and the wind was blowing the fallen leaves and wind and sand against the glass window, looking like a torrential rain.

Xu Zhiyuan casually asked the boy, "Do you want pizza?"

The boy froze for a moment and said, "What is pizza?"

Xu Zhiyuan rolled his eyes: "Just tell me what flavor you like to eat."

The boy thought for a while: "It's all fine."

Xu Zhiyuan almost didn't come up in one breath, and decided not to ask his opinion any more.He ordered two 12-inch pancakes. Looking at the boy's body, Xu Zhiyuan felt that he should have a large appetite, and he didn't know if he could get used to this big capitalist pancake.

But when he looked at him standing respectfully in the corner, Xu Zhiyuan felt that he was worrying too much. This person would probably be able to sweep away all of them if he was given ten white-faced buns.

"Hey, come here." Xu Zhiyuan waved, "I'll show you around."

The Xu family is a detached villa with three floors, with a small garden and swimming pool.

Xu Zhiyuan's bedroom is on the top floor. There was originally a guest bedroom next door, but his father insisted on not allowing it to be used, so he changed the bed in Xu Zhiyuan's room into a bunk bed, in the euphemistic name of "enhancing the relationship between the two brothers".

Xu Zhiyuan climbed up the stairs with his ass pouted, squatting and squatting, and looked down on the railing: "Below you and above me, there is only one bathroom. If you can't wait, there is a toilet downstairs, do you have any objection?"

The boy nodded.

Not only is there no opinion, this place is simply heaven.

The next door to the bedroom was originally Xu Zhiyuan's studio, which was his hobby since he was a child, but later he started reading, Xu Yongshan felt it was a waste of time, so he changed this room into a study room, Xu Zhiyuan didn't read much, so naturally it fell into disuse.

"Read the book casually, anyway, I didn't buy it."

Several previous "masterpieces" of the owner on the wall are still there.Xu Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed, and after a few random introductions, he was about to tear the painting down. The boy suddenly said, "It's beautiful, can I keep it?"

Xu Zhiyuan scratched his head: "I drew it casually, you can keep it if you like it."

He forgot that this was copied when he went out to sketch. The blue sky and green grass blurred and mixed together on the canvas, and it was hard to tell where was the boundary.

This is not Xu Zhiyuan's most satisfying painting, but the boy said, "Like my home."

The boy caressed the painting, as if he could directly see his corn field through this thin paper, which stretched as far as the eye could see. When the wind passed when it was deserted, the weeds would even reach the sky.There are also persimmon trees all over the mountain behind the black tiles and white walls, which are flourishing in autumn.

There is also Ah Huang, a wild dog who does not know where it came from, and his foolish father.

Xu Zhiyuan showed the boy a few other rooms, the bathroom and the kitchen. The boy was careful not to touch anything.Xu Zhiyuan felt that he was too rustic, he didn't even know about the refrigerator, and he also saw the TV set when he went to other people's house during the festival.

Xu Zhiyuan secretly took a piece of bread and stuffed it into the bread machine. When it finished baking, the machine made a "ding" sound, which startled the boy, and he ran away with Xu Zhiyuan.

Xu Zhiyuan laughed loudly, squinting his eyes like a cat, revealing two small canine teeth.

The boy looked dumbfounded, it was probably the first time he saw such an unscrupulous and radiant smile, as if all the weight of life could be wiped away under the sun.

For the first time, he realized that such a beautiful person was his younger brother.

"You are so stupid!" Xu Zhiyuan said loudly, "You are so stupid!"

Shouting, he rushed into the kitchen, smeared the freshly baked toast with jam and stuffed it into the boy's mouth.

"Is it sweet?" Xu Zhiyuan asked.

The boy nodded: "Sweet."

Very sweet, fruity mixed with bread malt, and a soft touch in the mouth.The boy felt that he couldn't waste it, so he licked the little bit of jam left on his brother's finger.

He twirled it on the tip of his tongue, it was really sweet.

Xu Zhiyuan withdrew his hand like an electric shock. He wanted to scold someone, but seeing the boy's natural look, he could only pretend that nothing happened.

"what is this?"

"This is called jam! Loquat jam, there is blueberry and strawberry flavor in the refrigerator, if you like it, you can make it yourself in the future, just spread it on bread like me."

The boy was very surprised. He knew about loquats. There are people in their village who grow loquats, but most of them are sold directly. Every year when the season comes, special people will come to buy them at a low price. But because the whole village is growing them, it is saturated. Those that cannot be sold end up rotting in the fields to be fertilized or eaten by birds.

It never occurred to anyone that they could be turned into another commodity.

The boy thought, people in the city are really smart.

Xu Zhiyuan's family raised two tortoises, a tortoise and a Brazilian tortoise.Originally, he planned to raise a dog, but Ms. Jiang was allergic to dog hair, so she could only raise some cold-blooded animals to satisfy her cravings.

The boy seemed to be particularly interested in the tortoise, and stared at it motionlessly. Xu Zhiyuan thought it was something new for him, so he ignored him and went into the room to answer the phone.

Half an hour later, he ran out and found that the man was still lying on the side cabinet watching, not even changing his posture, like a statue.

Xu Zhiyuan was shocked.

"What are you looking at? They don't move and you don't move."

The boy didn't answer, so Xu Zhiyuan asked again, this time he heard it, and asked, "How old are you?"

"They? They're about a year old. My dad bought them for me a year ago."

The boy nodded and said sincerely: "It grows too slowly, and it won't taste good when it's young."

Xu Zhiyuan was shocked again.

"What to eat? Who allowed you to eat it!"

"Aren't you raising turtles for food? All the turtles in our countryside are cooked in soup."

"That's your wild one!"

"Is there a difference?"

Xu Zhiyuan rolled his eyes, he felt that he could not explain such a profound scientific issue to him.

"In short, this is a pet and cannot be eaten."

"Oh well."

The two tortoises didn't know why, and they didn't like the boy very much. As long as he stood beside them, they would dive into the water and never show their heads. Xu Zhiyuan called them several times, and the Brazilian tortoise timidly poked half of its head out. Seeing the boy's face, he immediately retracted.

The boy was serious: "Maybe it thinks I want to eat it."

Xu Zhiyuan suddenly became interested and asked him, "Hey, tell me how do you usually eat turtles?"

"Add ginger, garlic and pepper, or vegetables grown by yourself."

"Do you eat what you grow?"

"Generally, there are chickens and duck eggs raised by myself. The ducks in good condition can lay more than ten catties every night, and the chickens can also lay more than ten or twenty eggs. There are also persimmons and plums, which can be sold when they are ripe. "When the boy talked about his hometown, his speech speed suddenly became faster, and there was a look in his eyes.

"Persimmons! I like persimmons!" Xu Zhiyuan likes everything sweet and soft, so he likes persimmons, "How many persimmons do you have?"

"A lot, the mountain is full..." The boy thought for a while, but he really didn't know how to describe it to convey that picture, so he could only wave his hands, Xu Zhiyuan grabbed his arm, and moved forward excitedly.

"Then you take me to play in the future! I want to pick it myself! Eat as much as you pick!"

The boy nodded: "There is nothing interesting in our house, and you can't eat too much persimmons, it will cause stomach upset."

"Why not? There are persimmons and turtles, don't you say there are also chickens, ducks and fish?"

Children in the city are always yearning for things that grow naturally. To rural people, those things are very common, and there is no way to make life better.

The boy fell silent.Xu Zhiyuan noticed that he was clutching the hem of his clothes, so he quickly changed the topic. He suddenly remembered that the takeaway he ordered earlier seemed to have arrived long ago.

Xu Zhiyuan made three phone calls and waited for more than ten minutes. The customer service kept repeating: "It's already on the way, please wait patiently."

In the end, he found that his phone had been blocked by the other party. Xu Zhiyuan was so angry that he threw the phone against the wall, and the boy caught it.

Xu Zhiyuan was so hungry that his stomach gurgled, but what was the use?He can't cook, not even boiled eggs.The only thing they are good at is instant noodles.

The boy asked him, "Are you hungry?"

"Um……"

Xu Zhiyuan gets hungry very easily, and he has a bad habit, that is, he gets irritable when he is hungry, and loses his temper when he is irritable, and no one can stop him.

"I'll do it for you."

Xu Zhiyuan's eyes widened: "Can you cook?"

"Well, my dad is not in good health. I started cooking when I was 8 years old."

The boy rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen, dug out noodles and eggs from the refrigerator, and ordered some dishes to wash.Xu Zhiyuan followed him back and forth like a tail, leaning against the cabinet to watch him cook.

"I don't eat vegetables, I don't like any kind of food."

The boy ignored him, and put the noodles into the pot by himself: "It's not good to be picky eaters."

"I know, my mother said the same, but I don't like food, you can't force me to eat something I don't like."

The boy pushed Xu Zhiyuan out and stopped accepting his nonsense.

That day Xu Zhiyuan ate up a big pot of noodles in such a way that there wasn't even any soup left.He swears that he has never eaten such delicious noodles in his life, and he will probably remember this taste for a lifetime.

The boy had been sitting opposite him and watched him eat intently. Xu Zhiyuan touched his round and protruding belly and asked him, "Can you cook for me again in the future?"

"Okay," said the boy.

Xu Zhiyuan was very happy, he thumped him and said, "Thank you bro."

My brother was taken aback for a moment, and a strange feeling suddenly passed through his heart.For the first time, he really felt that because he was needed by others, he wanted to do one thing in particular. He was very happy and had a sense of accomplishment, instead of being forced to move forward by life.

Xu Zhiyuan asked him while patting his stomach, "By the way, what's your name?"

He said, "Two cows."

Xu Zhiyuan thought he heard it wrong, so he asked again, and the boy replied calmly, "My name is Erniu".

Xu Zhiyuan couldn't stop laughing, so he heard the boy explain seriously: "Our family used to have a cow that plowed the land, and that cow was called Da Niu, so I could only call it Er Niu. He can sell it to his father for medicine."

The boy took the bowl to the kitchen to wash, the water was rushing, and Xu Zhiyuan couldn't laugh anymore.

After a while, he said: "Since you have been adopted by my family, you have to apply for various certificates after school, so why not call your name Xu Wenyuan. Look at how good the name is, and it matches mine."

After he finished speaking, he was very proud, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had done something extraordinary, so he called his parents while playing a little tune and boasted fiercely.

When Xu Zhiyuan was on the phone, the boy washed the dishes and put them in the cupboard. He dried his hands and stared at Xu Zhiyuan's excited back in a daze.

He thought, Xu Zhiyuan, Xu Wenyuan, it seems that the two of them really have some kind of connection with one name, and he will no longer be a "two cow" in the bad street.

He was also asked for.
