why are you pretending to be B

"Le Sheng."

This banquet is eaten from day to night.It was almost eleven o'clock when Su Lesheng, with the help of Aunt Zhang and the others, cleaned up the dishes, tied up the tables and stools and sent them to the car back to the restaurant.

The floor of his hometown is concrete. He stepped on the house with his sneakers on. Just as he was about to go to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water, his phone vibrated.

Brother Hao: Are you okay?

Su Lesheng couldn't help but pursed his lips.

Since he asked for leave to return to his hometown, Jiang Hao sent a WeChat message every day to ask him how he was doing, as if he was afraid that he would do something stupid if he was too sad.

Su: okay, how about you?

You Hao Ge: That’s it, but this time I’m ranked tenth in the weekly test, I’m quite happy.Is it cold in the countryside?Put on more clothes so you don't catch a cold.

Su: What are you wearing?

You Brother Hao: Oh, to be honest, I wanted to come with you this time. I packed all my luggage.If it weren't for my dad not going back to the house in the middle of the night and sleeping in front of the house...

Su: Uncle is right.

Jiang Hao replied with an emoji of a tearful cat head, and stopped talking.

"I'm home?"

There was a sound in the lighted kitchen, and Su Gui, who had left the table a few hours ago to go home, poked his head out from inside, most of his face was enveloped in the white steam full of the smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

【why are not you sleeping? 】

Su Lesheng's heart skipped a beat ominously, and he wanted to walk backwards into the bedroom.

"To wait for you."

Su Gui smiled and brought out a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine from the kitchen, and put it on the round folding dining table: "Don't try to run away, you can go to bed after drinking."

[I've been drinking for a long time, and if it doesn't work, it won't work. 】

Su Lesheng typed for Su Gui dumbfounded.He had thought that she had long forgotten to send him the remedies for dumb disease, but he didn't expect that she would be caught drinking the medicine as soon as he got home, and he couldn't get rid of it twice a day.

"Come on, you sure didn't drink a sip when you were outside. Didn't I send it to you after I didn't see it?"

Su Gui dragged the chair and sat down, with a pale face: "Hurry up, pinch your nose and it will be gone, and I will give you a piece of rock candy soon."

Su Lesheng: ...

He sighed silently, sat across from Su Gui, pinched his nose and poured the medicine down his throat in one breath.He didn't know what kind of herbs were in this prescription, but after one bowl of it, the root of his tongue was numb, and his stomach felt cold for a while.

"Good boy." Su Gui took the empty bowl and slapped the back of Su Lesheng's head twice, "Auntie will bring you candy, can I reward you with one more piece?"

[I am not a child. 】

Su Lesheng turned his head to avoid her touch, his ears were a little red.

"It's not that the child made you spend so much on the medicine." Su Gui looked at him and smiled, "By the way, there is something I wanted to tell you, but unfortunately I have been too busy these days so I didn't take the opportunity. Your mother The houses under my name..."

She raised her head and looked around. This is the ancestral house left by Su Lesheng's grandparents. Although Su Gui has always lived in it, the property rights belong to Su Lan.

"Now that she's gone, this house should be passed on to you. I've made arrangements to take you to the notarization of inheritance in two days, huh?"

【I do not want. 】Su Lesheng subconsciously refused 【Can I give up my right of inheritance?I want to leave the house to you. 】

"Stupid child." Su Gui shook his head helplessly, "This more than 90 square meters was what your uncle wanted so hard at the beginning. If you don't want it, don't you want it?"

[Don't mention that family. 】

Su Lesheng's back tensed reflexively.Even after so many years, as long as he hears about his uncle's family, he can't help but recall that terrible experience.

After Su Lan disappeared, the custody of Su Lesheng should have fallen to Su Gui.But Su Gui had just had a major operation at that time, and there were still more than half a year of large and small treatment and rehabilitation projects. She had no energy or financial resources to raise another child, so Su Lesheng was taken away by her uncle's family. up.

"Grandpa, I don't want to live with him."

Every day when eating, Su Lesheng's five-year-old cousin would coquettishly say this to his grandparents, "He can't speak, and he doesn't play with me, and he still eats our food, so disgusting."

"You silly boy." Uncle and aunt took a look into the corner of the kitchen while picking up vegetables for him. "Let him eat two bites now, and his house will be yours in the future. Isn't that good?"

"I don't want a house! I want Ultraman!" The cousin pushed the bowl away and flattened his mouth, wanting to cry or not.

"Okay, okay, grandpa will buy you an Ultraman this afternoon." Uncle immediately compromised, "What else do you want, Spider-Man?"

……

They were talking, and their voices could be heard in the kitchen not far away.Su Lesheng, who was squatting in the corner, was holding the enamel bowl, and suddenly felt that the porridge in his mouth was very salty.

It took a few seconds for him to realize that he was crying, and it was his own tears that he ate just now.

Su Lesheng raised his hand in embarrassment to wipe away his tears, but it couldn't help but flow more and more.At the end, there was an uncontrollable sob from deep in his throat.

"Why are you crying!" The aunt who went into the kitchen to fetch salted duck eggs for her grandson saw Su Lesheng's appearance, put her arms around her hips, and cursed, "You have to be grateful to Dade, you know?"

Yes, of course Su Lesheng knew.He shrank back into the corner helplessly, rubbing his hands until his eyes were red, hoping to stop his tears, but it still didn't work.

"If you cry again, don't eat!" My aunt was in a hurry, and snatched Su Lesheng's bowl of porridge, which didn't hold a few mouthfuls of porridge, and pulled him by the collar to lock him into the small cubicle that was temporarily partitioned by plywood beside the kitchen. , "Stay inside!"

"I've been so annoying." She sat back at the dining table with salted duck eggs in her left hand and Su Lesheng's rice bowl in her right, and began to carefully peel the eggshells for her grandson, "Wen Jie, go to Mingming's house to play for a while after eating. To avoid being influenced by him every day, it's bad luck."

Such days lasted for more than a year.On this day, Su Gui, who was finally in better health, knocked on the door of his uncle's house wearing new clothes.

"Then what, I'll come and see Le Sheng."

Su Gui stood at the door, tiptoed to knock the mud on the soles of his shoes, and handed the two big bags in his hand to his aunt: "This is the dried cuttlefish from the East China Sea that I asked someone to buy, one piece for your Wenjie, and one piece for us Le Shengbubu's body...he's not that thin now, is he? Should have gained some flesh?"

"I want to drink cuttlefish soup!"

Wen Jie walked over with Altman with a broken leg, and jumped to reach the bag in Su Gui's hand.

"Here, it's all yours." My aunt took the bag and stuffed it into Wen Jie's arms, bumping his small body into a stagger, and whispered, "Put it in the kitchen cabinet and don't let him see it."

"Wenjie really looks better and better when he grows up." Su Gui looked at Wenjie's leaving back, and laughed dryly, not knowing what to say, "Then what, can I see Lesheng? I miss him a little bit."

"Oh, it's not a coincidence for you to come." The aunt smiled.Su Gui has been here for so long, and she didn't intend to ask anyone to come and sit in the room, so she stood at the door and chatted dryly, "Our old man took him to the city to play. Tell me about this person, he is so eccentric. My grandson has been talking about it for half a month, saying that he wants to go to the amusement park in the city, but I don't see him taking it to heart."

"Oh." Su Gui nodded, "Then I...gone?"

"Let's go home and take care of yourself."

My aunt said that she was going to close the door.Su Gui looked down subconsciously, and saw a pair of tattered little sandals among the pile of shoes at the door.

Su Gui remembered that she bought it for Le Sheng after her sister's accident.Although it is not a brand name product, it is not likely that the soles of the shoes will be broken after only one year of use, as if they were just fished out of the mud.

"Then what..."

Before Su Gui had time to say anything, he heard something in the room "bang" loudly.

She looked at her aunt questioningly.

"Hey, my old man bought Wenjie a puppy two days ago." The aunt coughed in embarrassment, "It's very disobedient, so I'll shut it up for two days and give it a run for its money."

"Dog? Why doesn't it bark?" Just as Su Gui finished speaking, the voice rang several times in succession.

"What kind of dog do you have? Let me see." Su Gui pushed away her aunt and followed the sound.

"What's so good about a puppy?" My aunt was in a hurry, and rushed to stop Su Gui, but she didn't.

"Hey, what the hell do you mean by Su Gui? Do you have a little tutor? If you try to force your way again, I'll call someone to pull you."

Seeing that Su Gui's hand was about to reach the door of the cubicle, the aunt yelled at her.

"You shout!"

Su Gui also became emotional, pointing to his heart: "I have a problem here, the whole village knows, if you have the ability, call someone to pull me, if something happens to me, neither you nor your old man can escape."

The aunt was taken aback for a moment.Su Gui pushed her away, kicked the thin door twice, and it opened in response.

A small figure appeared in the darkness.When he saw someone coming, he threw away the rice bowl he had just used to hit the wall in a panic, and shrank to a farther corner vigilantly.

His whole body was dusty and dirty, and even his amber eyes were dimmed like tarnished gems.

"... Lesheng?" Su Gui's eyes immediately turned red.She turned to look at her aunt, with the expression on her face that she wanted to swallow her alive, "A puppy bought for Wenjie? What do you think of my nephew?! Are you still a fucking human?"

Su Gui grabbed Su Lesheng's hand and pulled him out, but his aunt blocked the way.

"The child's current guardians are us!"

"Not anymore. You abused my nephew, and I will sue you in court!"

"Su Gui, I'm warning you, don't play tricks just because you're sick." The aunt stuffed Wen Jie, who "dengdeng" ran out to watch the fun, back into her room, and frantically tugged at her clothes. Do you know your plan? You came to snatch the child from us because you regretted wanting to take back the ancestral house!"

"fart!"

Su Gui was trembling with anger.She is a mild-mannered Beta, who can usually scare a chicken so much that her heart twitches for a long time, but now she picks up the broom leaning against the door, fierce like a lioness guarding her cub: "I warn you, if you get any closer I'll kill you!"

Maybe it was really frightened by Su Gui's crazy appearance, the aunt did not dare to stop her, stomped her feet and scolded the street to see her take Su Lesheng away.

"Le Sheng."

Su Gui led Su Lesheng out for several miles, making sure that her aunt wouldn't lead anyone to catch up before she dared to stop, leaning against the big banyan tree, holding her chest and gasping for breath: "You'll be with me from now on, remember me? I am your aunt."

Su Lesheng didn't respond, just staring at Su Gui blankly, her heart almost broke.

"Don't be afraid, I was so fierce just now against them." She knelt down on her knees, brushed away the sweaty hair on Su Lesheng's forehead, and when she lowered her head, she found that his ankles were terribly thin. As if unable to support himself, "Good boy, go back and make pork rib soup for you, make up for it."

……

"Wait, I haven't asked them for those two pieces of dried cuttlefish yet!"

At the table nine years later, Su Gui suddenly slapped her thigh: "I have to remember to go to their house tomorrow, don't think it's over for me to keep avoiding me...Why don't you stop me?"

Su Lesheng couldn't help but look at her [Why should I stop you? 】

"You little bastard." Su Lan scolded with a smile, and said seriously, "That's the deal with the house, go back and do notarization with me."

[I really don't want to. 】Su Lesheng persistently repeated【I want to give it to you. 】

"Say something stupid, that's what your mother left for you."

[Is there any difference between you and my mother? 】

Su Gui was stunned.

Su Lesheng has never been a child who is good at expressing his feelings. This is the first time he has said such words to Su Gui in so many years.

"You..." Su Gui's eyes were red again.But being moved, she still couldn't take the ancestral home as her own, so she could only slowly persuade Su Lesheng to change her mind, "Let's not talk about this now, I have something else to tell you."

[Let's talk about it tomorrow when we get up early. 】

Su Lesheng picked up his phone and looked at it. It stands to reason that Su Gui should have gone to bed at this point. The doctor said that people with heart problems are most afraid of staying up late.

"Just sleep late for one night, it's okay." Su Gui put the empty bowl into the kitchen, and turned off the kitchen light when he came out, "What do you think about what Aunt Zhang said today?"
