Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

Recently, the two brothers from Wujiang and Wuhai returned to the village to raise chickens. There was a lot of work to do at the beginning, and the two uncles also went back to help them chop firewood and make fences.

Zhang's small shop suddenly lacked four people, and the eldest aunt and second aunt were too busy.Although according to what they said, the two uncles don't matter, it's a pity that the two brothers are gone.

It turns out that the second aunt's eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are also here, but they have already brought hot and sour noodles to Lin County to open a shop.The eldest daughter-in-law's parents are all there, and the old couple guards a small grocery store, and the business is very bad. They decided that it would be more profitable to open a food store, so they left two months ago.

Zhang Shu thought for a while, and asked Yu Xiaoliu to go to Zhang's shop to help.He originally wanted to send Wang Changfa to them, but he was afraid that if they went to a prosperous place, they would revert to their old ways, and the first aunt and second aunt could not keep them down, so it would be more at ease to put them in the village.

Of course, Yu Xiaoliu was not unhappy, it was the same wherever he went to work, the river was so lively, and there was a clearance every few days, when the goods were good and cheap, it was also convenient to buy.

Zhang Shu drove him there in a carriage, thinking about another manpower problem all the way, but he couldn't find a suitable person after much deliberation, so he decided to stick a piece of recruitment paper on the wall, and then carefully selected Take a moment, after all, many things are still unique secret recipes in their store.

When we arrived at Zhang's small shop, the second aunt was lying on the side, gasping for breath.

"Second aunt, what's the matter?" Zhang Shu asked strangely, as if there was a fight.

"Oh, I'm helping you today!" The second aunt stood up and tapped her waist, "A big ship came over today, and they said they heard that there was a shop here that Lord Cheng gave a plaque to, so I came here to taste it My God, hundreds of people on this ship ate all the breakfast prepared in the store at once, and that’s not all, the tea eggs were boiled in five pots, and even the hot and sour noodles that were soaked and ready to be cooked in the afternoon Eat it up for them. Your aunt in the back kitchen has a lot of things to do, and I can't rest in the front, but we are exhausted, no, just sat down and rested for a while."

After Zhang Shu heard this, he said, "Something happened in the village today, and I should have arrived earlier. No, I sent someone here for you, Xiao Liu, come here."

The second aunt looked around Yu Xiaoliu, then patted him on the shoulder, "Good boy, he is strong enough. Are you married? If not, the second aunt will guide you. Do you like a brother or a girl?" ?”

Yu Xiaoliu grinned, "Then I'll rely on my second aunt a lot. I'm a bachelor, so I just want to find a brother to live with."

Zhang Shu felt relieved at this moment, both of them are cheerful people, so there is no need to worry that they will not get along well.

There is nothing to do in the front shop for the time being, because everything is sold out, so there is still a lot of work to do in the back kitchen. Zhang Shu first took Yu Xiaoliu to put the burden, and then took him to the back kitchen to wash the dishes together.

The eldest aunt is not very good at talking to people, but Yu Xiaoliu couldn't help her sweet mouth. After going back and forth, she actually talked more than Zhang Shu.He is diligent and quick at work, and the two aunts have a good impression of Yu Xiaoliu.

"Bang bang bang", there was a knock on the door outside.Before the aunt stood up, Yu Xiaoliu had already wiped her hands and went to open the door to the backyard.

Brother Wang was taken aback, why was it a strange man who opened the door?He took two steps back and looked at the back door, and felt that he had knocked correctly.

Yu Xiaoliu looked at this brother's actions and wanted to laugh, "You are the brother Wang who came to deliver firewood, right?"

On the way before coming here, Zhang Shu told him about the current staff composition in the store.

Brother Wang nodded, how could you know with such a face?

Yu Xiaoliu walked over, took the burden off his shoulders, and said, "I'm a new guy in the store. I used to work with Brother Zhang Shu in the village. Now the store is short of manpower, so I'm here to help."

Brother Wang nodded, no wonder.Then he wanted to take the burden back, "This is heavy, let me do it."

He usually only saw men like his useless brother, who couldn't pick up his shoulders or lift his hands, and intuitively thought that most men were like that, except for those who were much taller than him.Unfortunately, Yu Xiaoliu is only slightly taller than him.

Yu Xiaoliu looked back with the burden in surprise, "I'm a man, you can carry it, how can I not? Don't tell me, I can easily carry another bundle."

He carried the firewood to the firewood, and after unloading the firewood, he returned the rope to Brother Wang.After saying hello to Zhang Shu, Brother Wang was squatting at his aunt's place to wash the dishes together, and he would help out with some errands every day.

Yu Xiaoliu put the rope aside, squatted beside Zhang Shu, and said in a low voice, "Brother Shu, isn't there a shortage of manpower in our store? What do you think of this brother Wang?"

Zhang Shu really didn't think about it. He looked at Brother Wang and thought of his brother again, with some hesitation on his face.

Yu Xiaoliu knew immediately at a glance, "Brother Shu, let's not recruit people first, I will help you observe this brother Wang for a while, if it works, we will invite him directly, I think the eldest aunt gets along well with him of."

Zhang Shu slapped his palm, "Listen to you kid."

After that, Yu Xiaoliu began to observe Brother Wang.

He found that although Brother Wang's family was poor and he only had two sets of clothes, every time he brought firewood, he couldn't see any grass clippings on his body. His clothes were white and patched, but they were clean everywhere.

He found that Brother Wang was a little inferior. He had a birthmark on his left forehead, so he put a lock of hair to cover it every time. Occasionally, he would lift it up when it was too hot, and he would put it down immediately when it caught his gaze. .If it wasn't for fear that Brother Wang would think him frivolous, Yu Xiaoliu actually wanted to tell him that he thought Brother Wang's birthmark was cute, shaped like a small flower, and there was no need to cover it up.

He discovered that Brother Wang's strength was indeed great.Whether it's the firewood delivered every day, or all kinds of things in the shop, none of his brothers can't move it.Every time he saw him lifting heavy things, Yu Xiaoliu felt a little distressed, what kind of family could raise his brother to be so strong.It's not that he's not tired, Yu Xiaoliu can often see him unconsciously rubbing his arms after putting down the heavy objects, and he can also hear that his breathing is more rapid than usual.

He found that Brother Wang was very kind to people.Both the first aunt and the second aunt praised him, saying that he was honest, diligent and meticulous in his work.In fact, he also felt the same way. One time when his clothes were seamed, Brother Wang patched them up for him. calluses.

He began to observe other things, such as his shy smile when talking to people, his straight body when he was working, his waist and buttocks when he bent down occasionally, his chest rising and falling when he was breathing rapidly, and his straight legs when walking in front.He found himself getting more and more wrong.

If Brother Wang was late delivering firewood one day, he would wonder if something happened on the road, if someone bullied him, if it rained and he didn't bring firewood, Yu Xiaoliu would not be able to work all day.

Both the eldest aunt and the second aunt saw his appearance, and they were also very optimistic about the young couple in private. When they opened the window paper by themselves, it would be a good thing.

Brother Wang hasn't brought firewood for three days, and Yu Xiaoliu's mouth is blistered.It's not that there is no firewood, but that Brother Wang doesn't know what happened.

He finally couldn't bear it anymore, and went to Brother Wang's house after talking to his second aunt.I went to his house and saw him limping to open the door with a stick, only then did I know that he accidentally rolled down the hill while chopping wood and broke his leg.

The smile that Yu Xiaoliu put on his face every day disappeared. He suddenly bent down and hugged Brother Wang, so scared that Brother Wang dropped his stick.

Brother Wang blushed, "What are you doing! Put me down!"

Yu Xiaoliu lowered his face and said nothing, walked into the room with Brother Wang in his arms, found the open room, and carried him to the bed.Brother Wang's long-awaited defensiveness finally appeared. Even if he looks like a man again, he is still just a little brother. He will still be unable to move, and there is no one at home. If Yu Xiaoliu wants to do something to him, He couldn't refuse.

Thinking of this, Brother Wang scolded himself in his heart, he was so shameless, he still thought about what others would do to him, and he didn't look at his own appearance, how could he attract others.He finds sadly that he actually likes Yu Xiaoliu.From birth until now, the only care comes from Yu Xiaoliu.

Because he had calluses on his hands, Yu Xiaoliu gave him a bottle of ointment for him to rub every day.Every time he delivered firewood, Yu Xiaoliu would go all the way to pick him up with a basket, and deliberately said it was a coincidence, then took over his burden and asked him to carry the basket, which only put a little green vegetables every time.

Every time Yu Xiaoliu would give him something to eat, every time he would say that the customer had ordered something, but he knew that the food in Zhang's shop was famously delicious, so why would such a stupid customer come here every time? Why don't you eat it the next time you order it?

He also noticed Yu Xiaoliu's fiery eyes looking at him, he didn't feel offended in the slightest, and was even a little happy in his heart.Therefore, sometimes he would intentionally do some movements in front of Yu Xiaoliu to attract his attention, secretly enjoying the feeling of being stared at.But he knew that he only liked Yu Xiaoliu's eyes.

"Where's your brother? You hurt your leg and he's not at home to take care of you?"

Brother Wang laughed at himself, if he had such a good life, he wouldn't be able to meet Yu Xiaoliu.

Yu Xiaoliu could see it from his expression, and he said, "Amon, if you don't think I'm just a guy from the Zhang family and would like to live an ordinary life with me, I want to ask you, you Can you marry me?"

Amon is the name he has always kept in his heart, and he finally called it out today.

Brother Wang was ecstatic, he wanted to run a few laps regardless of his lame legs, and then go to the mountain to chop some loads of firewood to vent his happiness.Yu Xiaoliu actually wants to marry him, he doesn't dislike him because he is not good-looking and has a manly figure, so he wants to marry him?

These are the most beautiful words that Brother Wang has heard in the past ten years of his life. Even if he eats chaff, even if the life is hard, he is willing, he said in his heart.

However, the words that came out became, "Brother Xiaoliu, I'm sorry, I can't promise you." He lowered his head, unwilling to let Yu Xiaoliu see his expression, because his expression would betray his heart.

Because he lowered his head, he didn't see Yu Xiaoliu's distressed expression at this time, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he didn't feel any discomfort at being rejected.Because he knew that it wasn't that Amon didn't like him, but that he didn't agree to him because of his consideration.
