you are the cutest in the world

Wei Xu wanted to ignore him, but in front of Wei You, he still replied with a good temper: "Isn't my voice always like this?"

"Ah? Is that so?" Du Shao scratched the back of his head, "Maybe I got it wrong, after all, you don't usually talk much."

Wei You took out the drink and put in a straw, and looked at Du Shao, "Did Wei Xu talk a lot at school?"

"That's right, I sat behind him, and I saw that he sat at the same table with him for a week and didn't say much." Du Shao said, his gaze unconsciously fell on the canned fruit in Wei You's hand.

Wei You raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Xu questioningly.

"I'm not familiar with you, so I have nothing to say." Wei Xu explained, glaring at Du Shao when Wei You was not paying attention.

Only then did the little fat man realize that his behavior just now was a bit like suing his parents, and his face, who claimed to be a man, suddenly changed.

No, it's all because Wei Xu's brother is too kind, he unconsciously ignored the identity of the other's parent!

"We changed classes in the second grade, and he was at the same table as a girl, so it was normal for him not to speak at first." Du Shao immediately added, blushing and a little embarrassed.

Wei You was amused by his appearance, and he kindly touched up the topic, asking, "What flavor do you want to drink? I bought two kinds of canned food, one with orange and one with yellow peach."

"Do I have it too?" Du Shao's eyes lit up slightly, "I want to drink yellow peach."

Wei Xu said blankly, "I can do anything."

Wei You then handed the yellow peach cup to Du Shao and the orange cup to Wei Xu, telling him, "Drink it slowly, it's still ice."

"Thank you brother." After Du Shao thanked loudly, he couldn't wait to lower his head and take a big sip of the cold drink, and let out a comfortable sigh.

Then he turned to Wei Xu and said, "Since your brother is here to pick you up, I'll leave alone."

Wei Xu wished him to leave quickly, so he nodded immediately and said "see you tomorrow".

Du Shao said "goodbye, brother" to Wei You, and then happily rushed into the small shop at the door.

Seeing that the talkative classmate finally left, Wei Xu held the cup in both hands, took a sip of the sweet and sour iced orange water through a straw, and then handed the cup to Wei You: "Brother, drink it."

Wei You really bought two cups because he was thirsty, but there was a classmate with melon cubs just now, so it is impossible for him to ignore other children and eat alone.

Seeing Gua Zai being so caring, he was still a little touched, he lowered his head and took two sips of his drink, then raised his hand and pushed the cup back in front of Wei Xu, stood up and said, "Let's go, we should go home, but before that we have to go a little longer." Go to the vegetable market."

Wei Xu obediently responded, bit the straw that Wei You drank into his mouth, and sucked the orange pulp inside.

Wei You walked through the crowd with his schoolbag and bag in one hand and his shoulder in the other, and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Wei Xu thought about it seriously, but couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head.

"How about braised pork?" Wei You asked, "Do you like braised pork?"

"I like it." Wei Xu answered first, and when they walked out of the crowded area, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Is my brother a relative of Gua Zai?"

"What?" Wei You heard his question clearly, but didn't react for a moment.

"My brother just said that you are my relative."

"Oh, that, that's what I said casually." Wei You felt that it's better not to let the child misunderstand such things, so he explained: "We are not related, but you can still call me brother."

Wei Xu fell silent, and after a while he asked again: "Then why is brother so nice to Gua Zai?"

"Is this..." Wei You thought for a while, and then smiled: "Because melon cubs are very cute."

Wei Xu raised his head, opened his eyes wide and asked, "Am I cute?"

"That's right." Wei You hangs his eyes to meet his gaze, and is poked cute again by the child's big dazed eyes.

He rubbed Wei Xu's short hair, and said gently, "In my eyes, Gua Zai is the cutest child in the world."

Wei Xu stared blankly at the smile on his face, feeling a little at a loss.

He never thought he was cute, and no one ever used this word to describe him, not even his mother in his memory.

The word he hears the most is "poor".

"That poor kid that no one cares about", he often heard his neighbor's grandma Li call him that, so when Wei You popped out the word "cute", he felt a little unbelievable.

It must have been coaxed by his brother.

But if his brother likes cute kids, he doesn't mind being a little cuter, he thought.

Putting a bag full of ingredients next to the kitchen sink, Wei You exhaled, glanced at his right hand, the red marks deeply embedded by the plastic bag on the inside of his fingers were slowly fading away.

Without too much rest, he opened the plastic bag, took out the ingredients to be used tonight, and put the rest in the refrigerator.

He bought a bit too much vegetables today, and he was a little surprised by the low prices of vegetables in the vegetable market.

It is true that the expensive ingredients in the future are also very expensive now, but the prices of some cheap vegetables are so low that they are comparable to collecting waste products, which makes him feel that if he does not buy them, he will miss a chance to pick up a bargain.

Although such a price is quite normal for the current time and space, who made him come from the future?

The most expensive thing he bought was fresh pork, the best quality pork belly, which only cost eight yuan a catty.

Wei You decided to make all of them into braised pork, so that Gua Zai could have a good time eating meat tonight.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Wei You was so absorbed in his work that he didn't even know when Gua Zai was standing by the door.

It wasn't until he finished cutting the meat and soaked it in the water that he turned around and found Wei Xu's thin, motionless figure.

"What's wrong?" Wei You asked while adding cooking wine to the water.

"I want to help." Wei Xu replied.

"Don't you do your homework?"

"Don't worry, tomorrow is Saturday."

"Tomorrow is Saturday..." Considering that Gua Zai is not much taller than the pool, Wei You originally wanted to politely refuse.

But thinking about it again, he is raising children now, not raising paper figurines. It is very important to cultivate children's hands-on ability.

So he happily said: "That melon boy will help me wash the vegetables."

He grabbed a handful of spinach and put it into a plastic basin filled with clean water, and put the basin on the ground. He waved to Weixu, then, under the gaze of the child, he picked up a spinach as a demonstration: "like this , wash the soil from the roots of the spinach, and pay attention to whether there are any small insects, are the melons afraid of small insects?"

Wei Xu shook his head seriously.

"It's good not to be afraid, then I'll leave it to you, and my brother will make braised pork for you."

Hearing the word braised pork, Wei Xu couldn't help but salivate. He nodded and squatted down on the ground to wash the vegetable leaves more seriously.

Because it takes a little longer to stew meat, the first thing Wei You cooks is braised pork.

It just so happened that Wei Xu’s kitchen had two gas stoves, one for stewing meat and one for cooking.

It didn't take much time to wash the vegetables. After washing the spinach, Wei Xu took the initiative to wash the vegetables and potatoes. After finishing all the work he could do, he was persuaded by Wei You to leave the kitchen and sit on the sofa to watch television.

Doraemon is playing on TV.

He has always liked this cartoon very much. Nobita in it has a robot cat who can always help him with magical props. For Wei Xu, the invisible transparent brother is his omnipotent "Duo" Doraemon".

However, at this time, he was a little distracted while watching the animation he liked.

At some point, the air was filled with the aroma of cooking, especially the aroma of braised pork. The aroma of meat and sauce made Wei Xu swallow his saliva several times.

He always watched the animation for a while, and then couldn't help turning his eyes to the kitchen. Once he caught Wei You's busy figure inside, he felt unusually peaceful and warm in his heart.

If only it was like this for the rest of my life.

Wei Xu secretly hoped in his heart that his brother could stay by his side forever.

The braised pork was stewed for so long that they didn't have dinner until the clock struck six.

Don't talk about Wei Xu at this time, Wei You is very hungry.

At noon, he only ate the sausage and bread brought to him by a proprietress, and his stomach has not been full all day long. At this moment, smelling the aroma of vegetables, he felt that he could eat two big bowls of white rice.

The dinner is the standard three dishes and one soup, the meat dish is braised pork, the two vegetables are stir-fried seasonal vegetables and vinegar potato shreds, and the soup is spinach meatball soup.

The dishes are very homely, but they are very good for eating. As for whether the taste is good or not, you can understand by looking at Gua Zai's bulging mouth.

"Is your father coming back tomorrow?" At the dinner table, Wei You asked the question he cared about.

Wei Xu swallowed the food in his mouth and replied: "He will come back to sleep very late."

Wei You nodded, thinking that he still has a day to buffer.

"Brother can hide in the room when Dad comes back." Wei Xu suggested, with a cautious tone, as if he was afraid that he would disagree.

Wei You laughed and said, "Where can I hide under the bed?"

Wei Xu: "Hiding in the closet."

Wei You imagined the scene for a while, and clicked his tongue: "That's too strange, like being a little... thief."

Wei Xu frowned, and stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth in annoyance.

Regarding how to deal with Father Wei's return, Wei You didn't think of a good solution until he went to bed at night, so he habitually comforted himself to take one step at a time, maybe Father Wei would let him stay here because he saw his kind face. .

If it really doesn't work, it's a big deal to spend tens of dollars to stay in a hotel for one night. He and the supermarket proprietress have agreed that he will be a sales promoter tomorrow, and he should be able to earn the room fee.

After telling the bedtime story, Wei Xu started to feel sleepy, and hugged Wei You's arm and retracted into the bed.

Wei You thought that he would go out to work tomorrow, so he said to Wei Xu: "When the alarm clock rings tomorrow morning, you can continue to sleep. I will make breakfast and lunch for you and put them in the refrigerator. When it is time to eat, you can heat up the meal like before. ,do you know?"

Wei Xu raised his eyes and looked at him: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to make money to raise melon cubs."

"Gua Zai will accompany you."

"No, you stay at home obediently, I will be back at five o'clock."

Wei Xu looked at him stubbornly: "The melon cubs are going too."

Wei You had no choice but to reason with him: "Brother is going to work in the supermarket. Think about it, if you go to a crowded and noisy place like the supermarket, I will be distracted to take care of you, so I will be even more tired, right? Gua The cub is so smart, he must know what to do to make my brother feel more at ease."

Wei Xu pursed his lips, looking a little unhappy, but finally complied.

Wei You rubbed the hair on the top of his head: "Good boy, go to sleep."

·

The next morning, Wei You was woken up by the sudden ringing of the alarm clock, his heart was still trembling for a long time as if he had been frightened.

He opened his eyes with difficulty, and stared blankly at the white ceiling for a while.

Since he resigned to make a video, it has been a long time since he got up so early to go to work.

The alarm clock rang for a while, and the melon cub snuggled up to his arm frowned, and subconsciously squeezed his head into his arms.

Wei You woke up, stretched out his hand to press the alarm clock, immediately pulled his arm out of the child's embrace, and got off the bed lightly.

Wei Xu couldn't grab something to hold, and opened his eyes in a daze, just in time to see him open the door and walk out of the room.

Wei Xu quietly watched his movements, and the moment Wei You's back disappeared at the door, a strong uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.
