A bowl of sweet soup

Chapter 30 Bowl 1 30

They were all standing at the door of the store, the summer heat outside rushed to their faces like waves, and the cool air from the air conditioner was blowing out from behind, overlapping the hot and cold.

Tang Xuen broke away from Ji Wei, turned his face away and said, "In the public, don't talk about it."

Ji Wei replied in a good voice, "Okay, okay."

I am most afraid that gentle people will suddenly play hooligans.

Without warning.

Sometimes, Tang Xuen really felt that he had nothing to do with Ji Wei.

29-year-old Ji Wei is too cunning. When you should be gentle, he is so gentle that you are addicted. When you want to refuse, he is domineering and does not allow you to refuse. You think he should keep a distance from gentlemen. He starts to push forward. When you think it is too much, He stepped back into a position that was more comfortable for you.

For example, Tang Xuen was forced to get angry now, but Ji Wei took a step back and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back to work."

Tang Xuen: "Go back quickly."

Ji Wei unilaterally announced: "Then I will wait for you at home at night, and I will do whatever you want me to do."

The meek Tang Xuen was anxious, and suddenly raised his head to look at him: "I didn't promise you to go!"

Ji Wei smiled, not forcefully, but seemed to be teasing him, making Tang Xuen unable to tell whether Ji Wei was serious or joking for a while, and said: "It doesn't matter. I wait for you is my business, whether you come or not It's up to you to come."

"If you don't come tonight, it will be tomorrow night. If you don't come tomorrow night, it will be the night after tomorrow. Anyway, you should always be able to wait? I have been waiting for so many years, and I am very patient."

After finishing speaking this time, did Ji Wei really leave, or did he turn around every step of the way.

Tang Xuen stood outside the door to watch him, and he didn't dislike the heat even though he was covered in sweat. When he returned to the store, there were no customers at the moment, Tang Zheng couldn't help but cheerfully said: "Brother, your face is red from the sun, It's hot and you stand outside for so long watching Ji Wei, you really like him."

Tang Xuen: "What are you talking about? Your mouth..."

Tang Zheng looked like a big child who didn't know the world: "I don't care, I'll just say it casually. I really don't understand you people who are in love."

Tang Xuen asked him: "How much did Ji Wei give you in the red envelope?"

Like a little mouse stealing oil, Tang Zheng said excitedly, "One thousand eight hundred and eight!"

Tang Xuen was startled: "So many?"

There are still odds and ends, Tang Xuen wondered if Ji Wei took out all the cash in his wallet, but that's too stupid, right?Can the calm and stable Ji Wei do such a thing?

Although his younger brother is an adult, Tang Xuen always treats them like children habitually, telling him: "I let you use it as you like, but don't spend it all at once, plan carefully, or save it."

Tang Zheng nodded and said, "I know, I've already figured out how to use it."

Tang Xuen: "As long as you have a plan."

During the period from noon to dinner, there is less traffic.

Xiaoheqiao Street is peaceful, and the fast-paced urban time seems to become slow and leisurely when entering this street.

An orange cat sneaked into their store to use the air conditioner, and slept on the floor all afternoon, turning over from time to time.

Tang Xuen went to touch the cat when he had nothing to do, and the kitten was made to purr by him.

Ji Wei asked him if he would go to his home tonight.

Let him decide.

But Tang Xuen's thoughts drifted away, and he remembered what happened when Ji Wei went to college after graduating from high school.

Although I also went to the capital to study, it was much easier to communicate than when I was abroad, and the mail was received quickly, and there was no need to carefully calculate the time difference when making calls.

The most important thing is that every winter and summer vacation, Ji Wei will come back to him, without exception.

He was entangled in mundane matters and couldn't leave, so Ji Wei came all the way to see him.

Not just meet once.

In Ji Wei’s freshman year, not only did he come back, but he also brought a dozen materials that he had compiled, and said to him: “Xiaoxu, after careful research, I have selected a few universities for you, and you cannot go to a full-time university. If so, what do you think of the self-study undergraduate course?"

How could Tang Xuen not agree?This is definitely a good thing.

Every year during the holidays, Ji Wei almost lives in their house. Every afternoon when there are no customers in the shop, or after work is over at night, he is asked to sit down and tutor him in his studies.

In fact, working all day every day is already very tiring, but with Ji Wei helping him and his younger brothers helping him, he can spare some time.

When the semester started, he became very busy again, but no matter how busy he was, he had to take time every day, at least one hour, to review what he had learned.

He doesn't plan to change to an office job after getting his diploma, he likes his current job very much.

It's just that he can't live up to Ji Wei's wishes, and he also wants to improve himself.

Parents are the best teachers.

Every day, when he finished his work, he was not going to play, but reading and studying. When the two younger brothers met, they would consciously study hard without him telling them.

When Xiao Yuan was in the fourth grade, he took the report card and said, "Brother, I asked the teacher, and he said that I can skip a grade to take the elementary school entrance examination. Can I skip a grade?"

Tang Xuen knew that the youngest brother was talented, but he still said: "If you skip a grade, the students in the new class will be older than you, and you may not be able to play together. You don't have any children to play with, so it's very lonely."

Tang Yuan shook his head, and said childishly, "It's okay, I go to school to study, not to make friends."

Tang Xuen was shocked: "Who taught you this? Did you listen to others?"

Isn't this what parents say when they scold their children?He never said that to his brother.He has made such good friends himself, and he also hopes that his younger brother can make friends at school.

It is best to study well, and he will not be angry if the reading is not very good.

Tang Yuan, who was only ten years old at the time, said innocently and cutely: "No one taught me, I thought of it myself."

"I want to go to college earlier, work earlier, and spend less on tuition if I don't go to school for a few years."

Tang Xuen was in a complicated mood: "Don't be so impatient, my brother can still make money, which is not bad for your two years of tuition. Can you do well in the junior high school exam if you take the junior high school exam now? If you study for two more years, your knowledge will be more solid. Can I be admitted to a better middle school?"

Not being proud and complacent, but taking it for granted, Tang Yuan said with a natural expression: "I did the test paper for the No. [-] Middle School last year. The teacher said that this score can be ranked fifth, and I will definitely be admitted."

No. [-] Middle School can be regarded as the closest and the best middle school to their home after comprehensive consideration.

Tang Xuen: "..."

Tang Xuen couldn't pay attention, so he called Ji Wei to ask what to do.

Ji Wei gave him an idea to let Tang Yuan try it, saying: "Xiao Yuan Zaohui, he has his own ideas. I remember once before, I went to your house to play, and then your second brother and the neighbor's house A group of children played together, only Xiao Yuan didn't go. He looked pitiful. I thought he was excluded, so I went to ask him, guess what he said?"

Tang Xuen asked, "What did he say?"

Ji Wei said: "He was holding a picture book borrowed from the library and was reading it, and told me that instead of playing stupid games with those boys with runny noses in the sun, getting himself covered in blood Sweaty, dirty and smelly, and tanned, of course it’s better to read with a fan.”

"Your brother is a very thoughtful man."

Tang Xuen was persuaded by Ji Wei.

As for Tang Xuen's own study situation, he was a slow learner and took the test every year, and it took three years before he finally passed the test.

After the exam results came out, they decided to have a good celebration. Xiaozheng and Xiaoyuan bought him a six-inch cream cake with the pocket money they had saved, while Tang Xuen went to the vegetable market to buy some delicious dishes, planning to give them to himself. Clean up a table.

He was carrying two heavy bags, and when he walked to the entrance of the alley, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards him in front of him, and when he took a closer look, it was indeed Ji Wei!

It was almost like a dream.

Tang Xuen was stunned: "Why are you here?"

Ji Wei came up to him, took the heavier-looking bag from his hand naturally, and said, "I heard that you passed the exam yesterday. I'm very happy. I feel that I will come to congratulate you personally no matter what. Bought a plane ticket and flew back."

Tang Xuen asked: "Then what about your school?"

Ji Wei said: "I'm a junior, and there are relatively few classes. One day is definitely fine. I'll just stay for one night and go back tomorrow morning. There won't be any delay."

The two went home together, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The setting sun slanted, and the accompanying figure stretched long behind.

A good friend who encouraged me to travel thousands of miles to congratulate me, Tang Xuen's chest was filled with emotion, she kept turning her head to look at Ji Wei, holding back her tears, her eyes and nose were red.

But Ji Wei laughed at him and said, "Are you so happy to see me back? You saw me just now, you were taken aback for a moment, and then ran over like a puppy."

Tang Xuen retorted him: "You are just a puppy!"

Ji Wei laughed.

But Tang Xuen didn't want to cry when she was made a joke like this.

Ji Wei patted his head and continued to tease him: "My puppy Xiao Xu."

night.

Tang Xuen had dinner with his two younger brothers and Ji Wei, and then stayed with Ji Wei at his house.

The two soak their feet together.

Only in front of Ji Wei, Tang Xu'en still had a youthful heart, deliberately stepped on Ji Wei's feet, and a lot of water splashed out.

After turning off the lights and going to sleep, Tang Xuen was still excitedly chatting with Ji Wei, and said in a rambling way: "When the four of us sat together today, we were really like a family of four."

Ji Wei took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Then who is the father and who is the mother between you and me?"

This stumped Tang Xuen, he said, "It's all dad."

Ji Wei smiled: "Okay, it's all dad."

Suddenly, Ji Wei sighed and said, "It's a pity, your two younger brothers are so obedient."

Tang Xuen didn't understand: "Aren't you good?"

After a long time, Ji Wei said with a look of melancholy: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. For you, it is the best."

Tang Xuen thought, all these years, he has been staying in the same place, it seems that Ji Wei came to him.

Working tirelessly, traveling thousands of miles.

Did he treat Ji Wei like that?

Not once.

Thinking about it this way, Tang Xuen couldn't help feeling ashamed.

Or, should he take the initiative to find Ji Wei?

Tang Xuen thought so, but before he could find Ji Wei, Ji Wei came to the store again at night as if nothing had happened.

Tang Xuen asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you'd wait for me to find you?"

Ji Wei swayed back and forth in front of him, as if he said leisurely: "I'll leave after I come to deliver something. I gave Xiao Zheng a red packet, so I have to give Xiao Yuan one too. A bowl of water should be flat, okay, okay, I’ll leave after I give it.”

Are you really gone?

Tang Xuen thought.

Ji Wei walked out of the store for more than ten meters without looking back, stopped, turned back, stood under the steps of the door, looked up at him, looked at him eagerly, and asked: "Xiaoxu, do you really want to follow me?" Shall I go?"

Tang Xuen felt his heart itch from his eyes, leaned down, and whispered in his ear: "Wait until my brother is asleep, and I'll go find you, okay?"
