Bite Your Fingertips
Chapter 23
Zhu Zhifei was eating fried rice without noticing Lu Shi changing his plate.
Wei Guanglei caught a glimpse and glanced at Lu Shi who was drinking tea from the disposable plastic cup, and said nothing.
Since eating the hot pot meal together last week, he has been a little unsure and unsure.
This kind of unreliability now feels more obvious.
The Lu Shi he knew had no particularly strong emotions about anything and was always casual.
Playing games is to accompany him and Zhu Zhifei to open the black and take his brothers to fly.It's not like Zhu Zhifei and himself, who will be irritable and unwilling to lose.
At Lu Shi, no matter whether he wins or loses, his expression does not change.
Driving the track and fishing are all for making money.
As for studying, Wei Guanglei felt that people’s IQ is there and they are used to being excellent. As Lu Shi said, if you take the first exam, you can get a full scholarship, live in the dormitory with the best conditions, and get a certain degree of freedom. First, why not take it?
Therefore, Wei Guanglei originally thought that his brother was too indifferent, and he even had a little bit of disgust that was not obvious.It is estimated that any existence can not easily arouse his care and emotions.
Until a Chu Yu appeared.
This person is like an accident.Wei Guanglei couldn't help but overturn his judgment.
Speaking of it, he actually didn't know exactly what was going on between Lu Shi and Chu Yu.
But he could see that the degree of Lu Shi's care for Chu Yu exceeded all the rest, even beyond the normal range.
Regardless of whether it was the excitement of the hunter facing the prey, the possessiveness of not letting go, or other things, Wei Guanglei felt a little surprised.
Put all the fierce emotions on one person. On the surface, it is strong and takes the initiative.
But in fact, all the attention, thoughts, and emotions, all around that person, have already plunged oneself into passiveness first.
The Qingchuan River flows slowly, and the wind blows very thinly with moist water vapor on the face.
After solving half a plate of fried rice, Zhu Zhifei finally put a foot on the hungry stomach. He raised his head and extended his tone with emotion, "This is life!"
He touched his stomach again, "Unfortunately, thinking of going home and writing two sets of papers, my damn heart hurts!"
Chu Yu was eating fish and was surprised when he heard the words, "It's almost two o'clock now, and you still have to write papers when you go home? How late will you have to stay up?"
"My mother enrolled me in two cram schools, and the cram schools will have homework all day tomorrow. I can write two and two tonight. I can't sleep anyway."
Zhu Zhifei used chopsticks to poke the remaining half of the plate of fried rice, "My mother is also a must. This is the second year of high school. She is looking up the recipe for the third year of high school. She is afraid that I will overuse my brain, so I will ask the neighbors everywhere to inquire about the best soup. Brain-buying. So, this indicates that, now, my mother has just started to do exercises and only enrolled in two cram schools. It is estimated that the next semester will be occupied on Saturday."
No one in Chu Yu's family cares about his studies, and he does not make up any make up lessons.Now just listening, I feel a lot of pressure.
The evening is clean, there are wine, food and brothers, Zhu Zhifei just talked about it.
"From my elementary school, my mother talked about it, let me study hard, study hard, make a lot of money in the future, and move out of Qingchuan Road. I am quite self-knowing. As for me, my talent is average. It is estimated that there is more than a little difference in the request. But I also tried my best."
After eating a bunch of roasted tofu in two bites, he said, "I entered Jianing privately on the first grade. My mother probably swelled and said that I was going to send me abroad. How much money is in my family, can I not know? It’s just to sell iron, and I don’t have this money. If it weren’t for half of the school’s tuition and miscellaneous fees and a scholarship, I wouldn’t be admitted to Jianing Private."
Wei Guanglei beckoned and asked the boss to take two cans of pineapple beer.
Pull off the tab and put Zhu Zhifei at hand.
Zhu Zhifei laughed and scolded, "Go away, I'm the one who wants to go back to write the papers, drink farts!"
He said that, but he was honest in his hands, so he took it.
Wei Guanglei smiled, "Isn't this to match the atmosphere?"
"What atmosphere?"
"Adolescent confused boy, pour out his thoughts on the riverside at night."
Zhu Zhifei was amused, "You're the fucking boy, I know very well. Study hard, get a good school, make a lot of money, and provide my mother for the elderly. My goal is steady, clear, and confused! "
"Don't fart, how uncivilized."
Wei Guanglei held the can and drank pineapple beer by himself, "However, if your mother hears your words, I don't know how happy it is. I will cook you an extra egg for breakfast tomorrow."
"Don't care if I can have multiple eggs for breakfast."
Zhu Zhifei felt that the glasses were in the way, took it off and put it aside, "How about you, Stone, have you thought about it, are you still reading?"
Lu Shi, who had never spoken, also raised his head and looked at Wei Guanglei.
Chu Yuan ate quietly, consciously not interrupting.
Wei Guanglei put the half-empty cans on the small square table and smiled indifferently, "I guess I won't read it anymore. I'm not like you and Brother Lu, who can find a way out of reading. Besides, I'm going to study. What to do at home, what to do at the store."
Zhu Zhifei lowered his head, placed the barbecue sign next to each other, and the volume was lowered, "Your dad...no news yet?"
"I thought he was dead a long time ago." Wei Guanglei's expression faded and the corners of his mouth sneered. "He was abusive in gambling, lost the gambling, borrowed usury without telling my mother, and couldn't pay the money, so he ran away. My mother, from the day he ran away, I assumed that he was dead. My mother and I are both good now, at least they don’t have to worry about food and clothing. So whether I read or not, here is really nothing So important."
Chu Yu ate the fish bit by bit.
He suddenly felt that he was lucky enough.
Although his father passed away unexpectedly before he was born, and his mother was too busy to care about him, he still had elder brothers and sisters who had good enough financial conditions, a car and a house, and he had no worries about food and clothing.
He didn't have to work hard to get what many people dream of.
Even compared to most people, he was born in Rome.
Zhu Zhifei patted Wei Guanglei on the shoulder, "Well, your dad is really not a human. Now this is also very good. After all, letting you do functional back chemical formulas is worse than letting you perform an ascension on the spot."
Wei Guanglei smiled and kicked Zhu Zhifei's stool, "Fuck your mother, run on me?"
Zhu Zhifei laughed and hid behind carrying a plastic stool.
Lu Shi took a sip of tea and talked to Wei Guanglei, "Remember to say if you don't have enough money."
"Well, I can pay back on time in the past two months. If I don't make it together, I will ask you to borrow some more." Wei Guanglei took the can and touched the plastic cup of Lu Shifa's tea. "Good brother, I I won't say thank you."
Wei Guanglei drank, Lu Shi drank tea, "Well, I often eat at your house."
Wei Guanglei raised his lips and smiled.
Seeing that the boss was going to the riverside to collect the net, Zhu Zhifei put down the plastic stool and called Chu Yu a few steps away, "School flower, do you want to take a look together?"
Chu Yu was very interested in these things, "Yes! Wait for me!"
The boss wore a head-mounted searchlight, and Chu Yu and Zhu Zhifei followed.
The slope of the river bank was soaked, slippery, and dark. They didn't go down and just watched from the bank.
Zhu Zhifei stretched out in the night breeze, and said inconsistently, "In fact, the stone was not called by this name at first."
Chu Yu retracted his gaze from the river and looked at Zhu Zhifei, "What's that called?"
"Wei Jiaqiang, hahaha, isn't it very dirty? He changed this name by himself, just after his father ran away."
Zhu Zhifei's tone was very relaxed, and he said to Chu Yu, "Guang Lei, it means to be open and upright. At that time, his family was being collected by loan sharks. What kind of intimidation, splashing paint, they are all together. Stone said, in his life. , Will never be like his dad, being a mouse on the street, just like his father."
"He wants to live upright."
Chu Yu couldn't tell how he felt. He listened to the splash of water when he pulled up the fishing net, and said, "Very good name."
"Yes, with Shishi's level of education, it is not easy to be able to retrieve this name without knowing how long it has been in the dictionary."
Zhu Zhifei stunned Wei Guanglei mercilessly, helped his glasses, and said, "Brother Lu and I have always cared about whether Stone should continue to study. A family like ours is destined to be through reading. It's only a way to go up. Therefore, Lu Ge still pulled the stone to make up for him.
But now, I feel that people are really different from people.
Although my family does not have much money, it has enough food and clothing.There is nothing for me to worry about. Concentrate on studying and you will be successful.The stones are different, he has already carried the burden of family livelihood on his shoulders.So, as a brother, do I... just need to respect his choice?School flower, do you think my idea is correct?"
Chu Yu didn't nod his head or shook his head. "My brother taught me that everyone has a way to live. It is not a good thing to forcibly intervene in the lives of others. Probably, life is like drinking water, knowing it is warm or cold?"
Zhu Zhifei looked at Chu Yu with a little surprise, "School flower, I didn't expect you to be such a school flower."
"Then what do you think I am like?"
Zhu Zhifei touched his nose, "Uh, maybe... why not eat meat? Hahaha, after all, the gap between you and me, the stone, and the growth environment is really far."
Chu Yu stared, "I'm not stupid!"
Zhu Zhifei smiled and apologized, "Well, my fault, I took it for granted."
The owner of the barbecue stall was dragging the fishing net up, Zhu Zhifei raised his voice and asked, "How is it, how much?"
The boss was cheerful and happy, and the pleats on his face seemed to be smiling, "These fish have no brains, they all jump into the net!"
Zhu Zhifei laughed.
Chu Yu also laughed.
I feel very happy at this moment.
As he walked back, watching the dilapidated barbecue stall and Lu Shi and Wei Guanglei sitting at the small square table from a distance, a thought suddenly circulated in Chu Yu's mind.
Zhu Zhifei's goal is to study hard, get a good school, find a good job, make money, and take care of his family.
Wei Guanglei's goal is to pay off debts, take care of the auto repair shop, and share the burden for his mother.
Even the owner of a barbecue stall may aim to attract more diners, fish more fish, make money, raise a family, and raise children.
Then...what about himself, what is his goal?
Chu Yu paused.
He suddenly discovered that after seventeen years of life, he couldn't tell what his goal was.
Driving away from the river, within a few minutes, he returned to Qingchuan Road.
Chu Yu looked around, surprised, "So close to the river?"
"Yeah," Wei Guanglei pointed in the direction, "over there, after winding the alley, walk straight down and it is by the river. So Qingchuan Road is not bad, there is river breeze, and summer is cool."
When the car drove back to the warehouse, Wei Guanglei pulled down the shutter door and locked it.
Clapping the gray on his hands, Wei Guanglei looked at Chu Yu, "How are you going back? Or just stay?"
Chu Yu waved his hand, "It's not troublesome, I'll take a taxi home, it's very convenient."
Wei Guanglei did not reluctantly, and asked Lu Shi, "Zhu Zhifei will rush to the house to make papers in a while, what about you, Lu, let's get another one? We have stewed vegetables at home."
Lu Shi put his hand in his jeans pocket, revealing a black wristband.
"No, I'll send him off."
"Huh?" Chu Yu doesn't like troublesome people, "I'm not a girl, so don't give it to me."
Lu Shi did not speak, turned and walked out.
Finally it was given.
I don’t know if it’s because of excessive adrenaline secretion and excitement when racing, or the blood sucked when sucking land in the car. As soon as he got in the car, Chu Yu's whole body was limp, and his eyes couldn't be opened.
Before driving far, Chu Yu lay his head against the glass window and fell asleep in confusion.
The taxi drove on an empty road, and the street lights along the way kept retreating, and the warm-colored lights passed through the windows of the car, casting a layer of light and shadow.
Drive into the tunnel.
There was a constant picture in his field of vision. Lu Shi rolled his eyes and saw Chu Yu's eyelashes cast a faint shadow under the light.
He slept unsteadily, frowned slightly, fingers bent, holding his cuffs loosely, breathing quietly and harmlessly.
After looking at it for a while, Lu Shi lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand, pulled the person over, and put it on his shoulder.
The movement is very light.
Chu Yu instinctively rubbed the cloth on Lu Shi's shoulder, and murmured unconsciously, "Lu Shi..."
Drive out of the tunnel.
There were sparse silhouettes on the street, and there was a fleeting cold neon sign outside the car window. After a few seconds, Lu Shi responded in a low voice, "Yeah."
