Chapter 30 Twenty-seven

My place is not a lunatic asylum, so you can bring me back too, Shen Lang!What should I do if something goes wrong? Liyue yelled when she found out that I had kept my younger brother in for the night. It doesn't matter, he doesn't understand anything and won't cause trouble.I hurriedly explained for my younger brother, my younger brother was sitting cross-legged on my bed, his head was flushed red from the sun, he looked at Li Yue, blinking his eyes a few times. You speak so lightly!Li Yue pointed at my face, he ran out so madly, his family must be looking everywhere, maybe they have already called the police!Send him home quickly, lest the police come to your door and say that we hide madmen here.

Where should I send him?I spread my hands and said with a smile, he couldn't even tell where his home was, he only knew it was in Wanhua. Cough, it's all your trouble!Li Yue gave me a hard look, then sat down next to my younger brother, looked him up, then put on a smiley face, coaxing him and saying: Come on, little brother, tell Sister Liyue: Where is your home?Which street in Wanhua?Is it Guangzhou Street?There is a big temple called Longshan Temple, do you know it? The younger brother opened his mouth halfway, staring blankly at Li Yue. You don't speak?If you run around, your mother will die in a hurry!Your mother is looking for you, do you know?

Li Yue stretched out her hand to touch the younger brother's bald head, and the younger brother suddenly burst out laughing, swaying back and forth, and uttered a series of baby words like humming. What kind of hall is this?Li Yue said in amazement. I laughed. He told you: Grandma went up the mountain, Grandma went up the mountain Ai Liyue shook her head and sighed, she is an idiot! Brother Guoguo shouted. Little Johnny ran in, grabbing a carambola in his hand and chewing on it. Abasang followed behind, his stomach bulging out of anger.The younger brother climbed out of bed as soon as he got up, and reached out to grab the carambola in Little Johnny's hand, and Little Johnny quickly hid behind Abasang.

You also come to grab the children's things!Abasang raised his hand and was about to hit him, but the younger brother shrank his head and closed his eyes. Abasan, go to the refrigerator and get one for this little nerve!Li Yue laughed. I want to ask you to ask Ah Qing to get it!Abasan yelled, the mangoes in the refrigerator are gone, and Little Johnny's milk is missing two bottles. Ask Ah Qing, where are they all? I hurried out of the room, Liyue scolded sharply from behind: Do u wanna die!You dare to touch my mangoes, twenty yuan each, if you don’t buy one tomorrow, do you think I still have food for you?

I went to the refrigerator and got a carambola to pass to my brother. Did you hear that?I smiled and said: I was scolded because you are delicious! The younger brother took the green carambola but was reluctant to eat it.Holding it in his hand, he played it upside down. Listen, Liyue said to me, pointing to her younger brother, this is a burden you brought on, you have to find a solution yourself.I don't care where you send this little nerve tonight, whether it's a police station or a mental hospital. Sister Liyue, I said with a smile, you are a kind person, it is already late today, let this little guy stay here for another night, tomorrow I will go to the police and let the police take him away.

no!Liyue waved her hand and said, you and Xiaoyu, two glass bastards, have caused me so much trouble by living here with me.Now add such an idiot, I'm going crazy myself!What's more, you haven't paid the rent of 300 yuan last month, and you dare to take in people. If you get angry, I will kick you out together! I promise!I patted my chest and said, I will definitely get the money tonight and pay the rent, so we can discuss it now, right? After you got the money, Liyue's tone loosened when she talked about it, but she squinted her eyes and looked at me with a chuckle. Let the line be longer tonight, and come back with a big goldfish!

When I left, I told Abasan a lot of good things, and asked her to take care of my younger brother, and when there were leftovers, I would serve him a bowl of rice. It's so hot, and I'm required to serve that little neurologist!Abasang didn't take it seriously. Please, Abasan, I'll buy a catty of lychees for you to eat. Abasang can eat five catties of lychees at a time. Once he got a nosebleed, so he had to buy herbal tea to drink. Buy it fresh!Abasang snorted, and brought back those worm-infested ones from last time. I rushed to the park and found our master, Instructor Yang. He and the primitive man A Xiongzai were sitting on the stone railing of the lotus pond, side by side, one huge and the other fat.I turned over and asked Teacher Yang to borrow money, five hundred yuan.

Master, I shouted with a smile, it is really urgent, and I will return it in two days. Do I open a bank?Coach Yang scolded, everyone came to adjust their positions to me!How about this, I will think of a way out for you, you go to the Great Century and wait for me first.I'll invite a God of Wealth for you. I walked to Dashiji on Hengyang Road, sat down in a quiet corner, and ordered a glass of guava juice. After waiting for about half an hour, Coach Yang brought a person. He asked that person to sit next to me, and he himself opposite. This is Boss Lai.Instructor Yang introduced, then winked at the surnamed Lai, and said with a smile:

How about it, Boss Lai, am I right?Is this young man still handsome? The man surnamed Lai moved his body, tilted his head and looked me up and down.He was a fat man in his forties, with a red liver face, and under the rose red light, his oily sweat glistened brightly.His hair was cropped short, parted in the middle, and permed in fine waves.He was wearing a Hong Kong shirt of Thai silk with gold thread between jade and green. He sat down and stretched out his stomach.On the bald ring finger of his left hand, he wore a thick square gold ring.When he looked at me, his puffy eyes were filled with a smile.I lowered my head and sucked my guava juice.

Ah Qing, Mr. Lai is the big boss of the Yongchang suit shop in Ximending. Instructor Yang whimpered at the Lai man, and said with a smile: Boss Lai wants to give you a pair of suit pants, which are made to order! How many inches is your waist, brother?I'm here to measure for you. The man surnamed Lai took advantage of the situation and stretched out his hand to squeeze my waist. I quickly moved away, and both he and Coach Yang laughed. A whole body of hard muscles!The surname Lai smiled and said, have you practiced kung fu? My apprentice's boy kung fu is very good, and he has almost attained the indestructible body of a diamond.Coach Yang laughed again with the Lai guy, Coach Yang flicked his finger, and the waiter brought two bottles of cold beer.

Tell yourself, little brother, that Lai patted me on the shoulder, you want Ma Hai, or Dacron. I kept my head down, sucking on the straw. I think it’s an Aolong suit. Coach Yang replied for me. Last time I went to your Yongchang, I saw a new batch of Aolong suit materials. It’s very good. It’s cool in summer.A question of four thousand and five made me slip away in a hurry.We can't afford the suits from your big store!Coach Yang let out a long sigh, looking very regretful. Master Yang wants to wear a suit, what's the problem?We Yongchang can still afford this little thing!The surname Lai patted his chest very universally. I will be in the shop tomorrow morning, and Master Yang will come to have a measurement. With my figure, I'm afraid your shop will suffer a bit.Coach Yang lowered his head, and glanced helplessly at his round, bucket-like waist. Do you want us to match up?The surname Lai leaned forward and whispered into Coach Yang's ear, but a pair of small, swollen eyes slipped towards me. This apprentice has eighteen martial arts skills, and he has everything! Instructor Yang winked at the man surnamed Lai again for a while.Suddenly, I felt itchy and numb like caterpillars crawling on my thigh. A hand surnamed Lai stretched out from under the table, and a few fingers slowly climbed up my leg.I felt the hairs all over my body, and I stretched out my hand to grab the bald and bald hand surnamed Lai with Fang Jindajie, and when I lifted it up, I slapped it on the table, making the beer bottle pop one time. Master, I'm leaving first! I stood up abruptly, and hurried to the gate of the Great Century without looking back. Coach Yang was chasing after me, and I only heard him yell angrily in a low voice: Ah Ching After leaving Great Century, I went straight to the silver carriage in Ximending to find Manager Yan.Manager Yan is from Hunan, Hengyang, Hunan.I met him in the park the first week I left home, and he took me back to his apartment on Jinhua Street and asked me to move in with him.He arranged for me a place in the Silver Coach, as a waiter.He frowned, pointed at my face and said: Little baby, you just made your debut, and you still have help.Get down to business.If you hang out in the park, you will be doomed if you sink into it! I worked in the silver carriage for three days, and when I slipped away, I still had a key to Manager Yan’s Jinhua Street apartment in my pocket, and I never had a chance to return it to him.I walked into the manager's room in the silver carriage, bowed deeply to Manager Yan, and said: Manager Yan, hello. Hey!Little devil, do you still have the face to see me?Manager Yan was taken aback when he saw me, and then said with lingering warmth, I thought you were caught on Huoshao Island! Ask the manager to do me a favor.I said with a smile. It turns out that you still have a day to use me!Manager Yan sneered. I need to accommodate with the manager, and I will borrow five hundred yuan first, as an emergency.I leaned over and smiled. borrow money?How can it be so easy? If you can't pay the rent, the landlord will evict you.I begged. Manager Yan nodded to me and sighed: What a cheap piece of material, I let you live there for nothing, you are restless.I just want to be obscene. I heard that you are doing well in the park. What money do you need? I lowered my head and said for a while: The manager first lent me five hundred yuan, and I managed to repay it.If the manager has something to do here, I am willing to do it, and the salary will be deducted. From your tone, do you want to change your ways?Manager Yan finally relented. Let me give you another chance. We have a younger brother who is on sick leave for three days and is looking for someone to take over. You will report at two o'clock tomorrow. As he spoke, he took out three hundred-yuan bills from his wallet and said: Whether it will be successful or not depends on your own good luck!I will give you three hundred first, and then I will replenish you when you come to work. I took Manager Yan's money, thank you very much, then ran out of the silver carriage, bought a catty of lychees at a roadside fruit stand, and bought four freshly made lychees from a stand selling shredded radish pancakes at the entrance of Wuxiangzhai. The baked shredded radish cake is sweet and salty.The shredded radish pancakes of this family are very well made, the shell is soft and crispy, and the filling is willing to put lard, which is very fragrant.I used to go to night school in Yude, go home after school, and transfer to the bus at Ximending. If I had money left in my pocket, I would go to this stall to buy four shredded radish pancakes and share them with my younger brother for supper. .On winter nights, I would stuff the shredded radish pancakes wrapped in newspaper into my breast jacket, zip it up, and when I got home, the pancakes were still warm.Sometimes when my brother fell asleep, I would pull him up, and the two of us would sit on the bed, spread out the newspaper, and eat sesame seeds on the bed. The younger brother was already lying on the bed, stripped naked, his shirt and underwear thrown all over the floor, and he was sound asleep.When I approached the bed, I suddenly noticed that there was a large piece of black and damp on the straw mat that was covering his lower body.I hastily put down the lychee and the packet of shredded radish pancakes in my hand, and went to push him awake. Get up, get up.I grabbed his arm with both hands and pulled him up. He stared at me sleepily, with a mat mark on his left cheek that was red from sleep. You see, you got into trouble!I pointed to the urine stain on the mat and told him that when I lifted the mat, the mattress underneath was also soaked, a yellow puddle.I saw my little brother standing there in a daze, looking around, I couldn't help being a little annoyed, I walked over and slapped him on the buttocks. Such a big person is still drowning in bed! I hit harder, the little brother was hit by me, and he staggered forward. He looked at me in panic, touched his buttocks with one hand, and rubbed to the corner of the room.I pulled up the straw mat and mattress, and took them to the bathroom. The mattress couldn’t be washed, so I had to hang it on the shelf temporarily until the sun came out to dry. I then sprinkled soap powder on the straw mat with a rag After wiping it vigorously and changing the water several times, the urine stain was washed away, and it was taken to the drying rack on the roof behind the kitchen, and hung up to dry.Turning back to the room, the younger brother squatted in the corner of the room, with his hands around his knees, and he huddled into a ball.When he saw me walk in, his mouth was tightly shut and his eyes were wide open.I picked up the packet of radish pancakes, sat across from him, opened the newspaper, and spread it on the floor. Look, little brother, I bought shredded radish pancakes for you to eat.I picked a sweet one and handed it to him, but he stared at me blankly without reaching out to take it. It's sweet and delicious.I smiled and brought the pancakes to him, but he turned his head abruptly. Forget it, I'll eat it!I ate that cookie in a few bites. It smells so good!I smacked my lips and glanced at him, his eyes moved up and down with my mouth. Do you want?I brought another salty pancake to his mouth, and suddenly with a flick of his hand, he knocked the pancake to the ground, rolling sesame seeds all over the ground. You want to die!I slammed the top of his clean-shaven bald head with my hand, got up, picked up the radish pancake that had rolled to the foot of the bed, and blew on it twice.The younger brother hugged his bald head with both hands, suffocated his mouth, and began to cry, tears rolling down his thin, bluish-white chest one by one.Standing in front of this bald, naked child with tears rolling down his face, I suddenly felt a little at a loss.I knelt down, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: Just kidding, little guy, and didn't really hit you. He ignored it, still desperately covering his head, shrugging his shoulders and sobbing. Come on, come on, I won't touch you in the future.I stroked his head for a while. Last year, the night before my brother's fifteenth birthday, I beat him up and his nose was bleeding.My brother has always been obedient to me, but for some reason that night, he lost his temper.That night it was his turn to wash the dishes. He hid in the room, sat on the bed, and was fascinated by the comic book "Huang Tianba" that I rented.I called him several times, but he ignored him.I reached out to snatch the book in his hand, but he pushed it away and shouted: Fuck you!In a burst of rage, I swung my fist and hit his face, knocking him over to the bed.I've never been that rough with him before, and that one miss knocked his nosebleed out.The younger brother didn't cry or make a sound, just took a stack of thick toilet paper, raised his head, and wiped the blood from his nostrils one by one.I was startled and completely flustered.At night, we lay down, and in the dark, I could hear my brother blowing his nose with toilet paper from time to time.I didn't sleep well that night, and I was very upset.The next day, when I gave the butterfly brand harmonica bought by the Guan Gong Institute to my brother, my brother was so happy that he laughed, holding the harmonica, playing it back and forth, and couldn't bear to let it go for a moment. There was also a small spot of blood that hadn't been washed off.I coaxed my little brother for a while, and he finally stopped crying.I went and got a wet face towel to wipe his face, and handed him a shredded carrot cake.This time he took it and ate it happily. All of a sudden, he ate up the two pancakes, and there were a few sesame seeds on the corners of his mouth. Are shredded radish pancakes delicious, brother? I asked him as we lay together on the hard slabs. Well.he replied. Do you like to eat sweet or salty? Sweet, he thought for a while. So next time I'll just buy sweet ones for you to eat, okay? oh. You are not allowed to drown in the bed anymore, there is nothing to eat in the bed. hehe.He laughed. Did you have fun swimming today? Okay. In two days, we will go to the water source again. oh. You know, you can’t swim when the typhoon comes, I said, the radio broadcast at night, there is a strong typhoon Amelie in the Philippines, and it is blowing towards Taiwan. If the wind direction does not change, it will pass the northern part of Taiwan within a day or two. Typhoon and strong wind, ho, ho, ho, understand? Huhu little brother learned from me, I laughed. Brother, let's sleep.I said. oh.he replied. I turned sideways, stretched out my arms, and put my arms around his bony shoulders.
