Raising a younger brother is not easy

Chapter 9

, as if wanting to share a bit of Herod's brother's happiness, he touched it lightly with his fingers and quickly took it back, as if he was afraid that he would damage it.

"You are so happy, even if you are not here, you still have a brother who misses you and loves you every day." Mo Cheng sat in front of the cabinet in a daze, "I'm just borrowing your room, and I won't take your things away." " Mo Cheng looked at the gift in the cabinet, as if it was Herod's younger brother, he said to himself in front of the cabinet.

Mo Cheng remembers his birthday, but he has never celebrated it, because no one except him remembers it, and he has never received a birthday gift, or even a sentence of "Happy Birthday." Because he has never received it, Mo Cheng never asks for anything extravagantly. , but for him, he was still a little envious.Every year on his birthday, he would go to a cake shop near his home and lie in front of the glass window to look at the exquisite cakes, but he had never eaten them.

Because a big cake costs hundreds of dollars, and a small cake costs at least tens of dollars. For him, all that money should be saved.

Thinking of this, Mo Cheng took out a small box from the crack of his luggage bag, opened the box, and inside were all small notes, not many, and each one said "Happy birthday!" .”

This was a birthday present from Mo Cheng himself, as if someone still remembered him.

Suddenly the door of the room rang, Mo Cheng came back to his senses, hid the box under the pillow, opened the door, and saw the doctor in the hospital, "Why are you here?"

"He's my good friend Zuo Zhe. Let's see how your body is recovering today." Herod pushed open the door and walked into the room. He naturally put his arm around Mo Cheng's shoulder and walked in.

Mo Cheng went to the bed and sat down, "It's much better, thank you."

Zuo Zhe sat on the sofa chair opposite, crossed his legs and smiled, "It looks much better than before."

"Are you a good person?" Mo Cheng asked curiously.

Herod was beside Mocheng, and Mocheng's body trembled a little when he got up to ask so suddenly, Zuo Zhe looked at Herod with an embarrassed face, "Er...why do you say that?"

"Because you smile so strangely, very strangely." Mo Cheng answered him very honestly.

"Do I look uneasy?" Zuo Zhe was a little frustrated. He was the dream girl of those whores in the hospital. Why did he turn into a weasel's strange smile when he arrived in Mocheng? This little guy can be described as even more beautiful. a little?

"Let's talk about it, under the pretense of visiting a sick person, to practice voyeurism?" Herod asked a little playfully.

"Who is peeping, I'm looking at it openly." Zuo Zhe covered his mouth after speaking, a little self-confident.

"Why didn't those guys come out by themselves, and let you out." Herod probably guessed that it was the attention of those guys, and they must just want to gossip about the city of Meaux. Herod didn't tell others There are even fewer things about Mocheng's return. At present, there are only Zuo Zhe and Bai Xiaobai, but he thinks that after these two people charge forward bravely, those guys should not dare to provoke Mocheng. His skill is definitely not covered.

"When did you take Chengcheng out for a stroll? Those guys have been pestering me for a long time." Zuo Zhe finally told the truth, "You also know that you always clean them up, but in the end you can only pull me as a scapegoat."

"You really dare to do it!" Herod raised his eyebrows, looking completely desperate.

Zuo Zhe threw Mo Cheng a help-seeking look, and Mo Cheng accepted it, but the interpretation has not been successful, because he still does not know the decoding conditions "I don't know."

Zuo Zhe gritted his teeth, and beckoned Mo Cheng to come over with his hand, and Mo Cheng obediently walked over. He whispered something in Mo Cheng's ear, and Mo Cheng immediately nodded, "Okay."

"What did you say again?" Herod looked at the way Mocheng nodded without thinking, and knew that Zuo Zhe must have done something wicked.

"He said that as long as I agree, he is willing to help me pay the rent here." Mocheng likes this deal very much. After all, he can't miss this kind of profitable business. Herod waived his rent because Mocheng owed him , but Zuo Zhe is different, Mocheng is paid by labor, this is just a kind of labor remuneration, so heart!install!reason!have to!

Herod dragged Zuo Zhe out of the room, and did not forget to say good night to Mo Chengdao. In the room, he looked like a gentle big brother, but when he left the room, he was a dark ghost who ate people and didn't spit out bones.

"Brother, your family Chengcheng agreed." Zuo Zhe did not forget to use Chengcheng as a shield.

Herod didn't take any action, and crossed his arms, "I know, but don't forget the rent, 300 million!" He patted Zuo Zhe on the chest and went downstairs.

Zuo Zhe was so shocked that his jaw fell to the ground again, he quickly chased after him unconvinced, "Why are you discounted by 300 million, you are so cheating!"

"The [-]% discount is from Chengcheng, you need to add a few more zeros!" In fact, the so-called [-]% discount from the original price was made up by Herod himself.

"Chengcheng is a 300% discount. You only have [-] million here. Your double standards are too crazy. You sucked my blood away with your hands. Do you know that it is Lao Tzu's wife? You squeeze it a few times. Will you spend Singles' Day with me in the future?" Zuo Zhe yelled loudly.

"You said it yourself, I don't have to force you." Herod sat on the sofa leisurely, looking at Zuo Zhe.

Zuo Zhe went through a strong ideological struggle: Damn it, Herod Bai counts you as ruthless!

He tremblingly wrote a check, gritted his teeth and handed it over. When Herod was about to take it, he still couldn't bear to let go of his two fingers, "You capitalist will exploit the working people, and you will be struck by lightning sooner or later."

"Don't worry, it's not exploitation, I will take Chengcheng there, but..." Herod smiled faintly, "Inform those good brothers, there is a price, although it doesn't compare with you."

"I'll help you squeeze them a little bit more, so forget about my share?" Zuo Zhe stared at the check in Herod's hand, trying to get the check back into his hand again.

Herod looked at the check, "What do you think?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at Zuo Zhe, and Zuo Zhe knew that there was no hope when he saw the dead look.

Sitting opposite Herod sullenly, after thinking for a long time, he was about to get up and yelled, "Herod, are you short of money?"

"I should have said this to you." Herod Bai happened to send a message to reply to his "good brother" who just came to greet him, "You can try to be a midnight cowherd, maybe you won't be so short of money."

"..."

Midnight Cowherd...

Herod, you can think a little dirty...

Zuo Zhe felt that he was bored, and was about to leave. He turned around and asked, "By the way, Mo Cheng doesn't know anything at all. When he finds out that you lied to him, what do you think will happen to him?"

Leaving such a beating remark, he left Bai's house swaggeringly with his finger on the car key.

Herod Bai stopped the finger that was sending the message, and his whole body froze for half a minute, his eyes suddenly drooped. Although Zuo Zhe deserved a beating, he was right. What if Chengcheng gets angry?What if he leaves again?

Mo Chen has no sense of security, he knows it better than anyone else, but if you tell him now, will he believe it?He asked what happened back then?If Mo Cheng knew that his father sold him selfishly, would he still accept this family?According to Mo Cheng's personality, most likely he just sneaked away with his small luggage when no one found out.

Herod thought about this issue every day, but he couldn't make a decision. It was not something that could be decided by a single contract in business. If the contract was violated, the compensation would not be the breach of contract, but the entire city and his ten years of hard work.

After Herod took a bath, he sat on the sofa chair on the balcony and stayed there for an entire hour. He smoked a whole pack of cigarettes. After a pack of cigarettes, he became much more awake. Room, Mo Cheng should be asleep, tomorrow!Tomorrow he would know the whole truth.

i don't want to lie to you

Thinking of this, Herod's hands couldn't help trembling, "You won't leave, will you?"

His thoughts were suddenly withdrawn by the sound of the door being pulled, and Herod subconsciously looked at the balcony next door. The balcony door was opened a small distance, and one foot stepped out, and a pair of bare feet occupied the balcony. "Chengcheng?"

Mo Cheng followed the prestige sleepily, rubbing his eyes, "Brother Lu." He whispered.

Herod originally wanted to get up, but was stunned by the word "Brother Lu". He was slightly taken aback, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He must have not woken up.

Herod walked over and stretched out his hand over the railing, touching Chengcheng standing there, "Why did you come out in the middle of the night?"

"Woke up halfway through sleep." Mo Cheng became a little more awake, but his eyes were still half-open, and his eyelashes were half-closed.

Herod frowned. The quality of sleep in Meaux was very poor, and it could be said that he was easily "woke up".I remember that in the hospital at that time, Herod often stayed in the ward in the middle of the night. Once he saw that Mocheng was sleeping soundly, but he just reprimanded the nurses in the hospital for being too careless about the care of Mocheng. Cheng trembled all over, and immediately woke up, as if he was surprised.

"Can't sleep, can you?" This child really had a hard time falling asleep, and waking up in the middle of the night was quite painful for him. Several times Herod saw Meaux lying quietly on the bed an hour ago, and it turned out that it was more than an hour later. After falling asleep, he doesn't seem like half of the children need to play with their mobile phones and read books, so Herod didn't notice it at first, thinking that Mocheng was pretending to sleep, but it turned out to be the child's habit, always closing his eyes for more than an hour before he could fall asleep past.

"Chengcheng, come here." Herod asked Mocheng to come to his room "Come here for a while.
