Jiang Yuduo looked around, and he didn't see Cheng Yi and the others as far as he could see. Maybe as Cheng Ke said, his mother didn't like this kind of noisy occasion, and he suddenly saw his eldest son. The landlord became her boyfriend, and she had an affair with her youngest son, so she left.
However, Jiang Yuduo didn't quite get used to it when he first arrived at the square, there were too many people.
Although they usually do not appear on important days during the festival, the environment with too many people has always made him nervous. When he came with Chen Qing before, they were not on such a large scale. A lamp, it's almost enough to eat some skewers.
Today, because he wanted to avoid Cheng Yi, he and Cheng Ke were always uncomfortable when they passed through countless people and various lights that blocked the line of sight.
They wouldn't appear on such a day, but there were too many people to see, it would still make it hard for him to breathe. Fortunately, most of his attention was on Cheng Ke's plastered hand. After he bought lights, especially cat lights, he was more relaxed.
Some things may not exist without special attention, but unfortunately it is difficult for him, and there is too little time to do it.
After almost all the lanterns, they walked to the marshmallow stand.
There were a lot of people around the stall, all of them were little girls and their boyfriends, as well as children and their parents, Jiang Yuduo hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Cheng Ke: "You wait for me here, I'll go to buy ."
"I'll go with you." Cheng Ke said.
"...Okay," Jiang Yuduo said, "what color do you want?"
"Rainbow," Cheng Ke said, "how about you?"
"I want a powder blue one," Jiang Yuduo said, "I like solid colors."
"Okay," Cheng Ke smiled, "I thought you would say you want a pink one."
"Pink blue looks good," Jiang Yuduo and Cheng Ke squeezed next to the cotton candy machine, "Pink is too earthy."
A little girl next to him who was holding a big lump of pink marshmallows just made gave him a look.
Jiang Yuduo felt that what he said was probably inappropriate, but the other party was a stranger and a woman. He didn't know how to make up for it, so he ignored it.
"Let's see who it goes with," Cheng Ke said, smiling at the little girl, "some girls are especially cute with pink."
The little girl also smiled a little embarrassedly, walked away with the cotton candy, and gave him a place.
Cheng Ke stood in this position, squeezed side by side with Jiang Yuduo, and whispered, "You are too good at speaking."
"I don't know her." Jiang Yuduo also whispered, "Besides, I really don't have the ability to talk and coax little girls."
"Fart." Cheng Ke said.
"The boss helps me make a rainbow one, a blue one!" Jiang Yuduo looked at the boss, "Quick! Catch the train!"
The boss laughed: "There are three more to come, and it's too late to catch the rocket."
Jiang Yuduo kept staring at the boss's hand making marshmallows, Cheng Ke kept staring at him, Jiang Yuduo would be curious about many things, and he would stare at things that he didn't usually come into contact with when he had a chance.
Just staring at him with a cold face, giving people the illusion that if the other party makes something wrong, he can punch him up.
Fortunately, the boss didn't raise his head throughout the whole process. If he made one, he would hand it forward, and whoever had it would take it.
The rainbow and blue marshmallows were soon ready, bigger than a head, a large mass, Jiang Yuduo squeezed out the crowd with two lumps of marshmallows, handed the rainbow one to him, and then faced the blue one. The one bit and tore off a large lump, and nodded after tasting it: "I'm sweet."
This feedback made Cheng Ke suddenly doubt his own perception of marshmallows. After all, this kind of thing is like glutinous rice dumplings on the street. have eaten...
He hurriedly took a big bite out of his rainbow to taste it.
It just tastes like sugar, nothing but sweetness... It's so greasy, I don't want to eat it again after one bite...
"How is it?" Jiang Yuduo asked him.
"Well, it's delicious," Cheng Ke nodded, "mine is sweet and sour."
"What?" Jiang Yuduo was stunned, then before he could speak, he quickly bit on his rainbow, pulling away almost half of it.
Cheng Ke sighed and watched Jiang Yuduo chasing the marshmallow fluttering in the wind and rolling it into his mouth, and finally put it all into his mouth with his hands.
"Have you lost your sense of taste? Isn't this sweet?" Jiang Yuduo looked at him after taking a bite, "Where does the sweet and sour taste of marshmallow come from, why don't you say cumin?"
"It's all sweet, why do you specifically say that you are sweet?" Cheng Ke asked.
"I'll just say a word," Jiang Yuduo said, "and I'm telling the truth, I didn't say it was cumin."
Cheng Ke didn't speak, and after he finished saying two sentences of cumin in a row, he suddenly felt greedy, and the sweet cotton candy was even less attractive.
"I'm hungry," Cheng Ke touched his stomach, "I want to eat barbecue."
"Then go back?" Jiang Yuduo ate his marshmallow in two bites, took out his mobile phone and poked it a few times, "I will send a message in the group and ask him to go to the store and wait for something delicious."
"Group?" Cheng Ke was stunned, "Do you still have a group?"
"What's so strange about this," Jiang Yuduo glanced at him, "How about I usually find someone to poke them one by one, and I didn't add them as friends."
"Oh." Cheng Ke leaned over and looked at his phone.
He didn't see what Jiang Yuduo posted, and he was overwhelmed by a series of speeches.
- good third brother
-receive! third brother
- Happy Chinese New Year, Third Brother! almost there
-Yes!
…
Cheng Ke wanted to laugh a little, but when he saw the group name again, he was amused: "A group? Who named it?"
"I, isn't this a group?" Jiang Yuduo said.
"It's a group." Cheng Ke restrained his smile and nodded.
"Didn't you say it's rude to look at other people's mobile phones?" Jiang Yuduo said, "Have you been watching this for a long time, and laughing at it after reading it?"
"I'm sorry." Cheng Ke smiled and waved his hand.
"Let's go." Jiang Yuduo put the phone back in his pocket and waved.
This barbecue restaurant should be a fixed place for Jiang Yuduo and his little brothers to meet. When they arrived in Chen Qing's two-door car with a trunk, several people who looked like "third brother's people" were standing there. Smoking at the door.
Jiang Yuduo stopped the car at the door of the store, and Cheng Ke got out of the car with him.
"Third brother," several people came over immediately, "Brother Ke."
Cheng Ke was very moved by their thoughtful move of changing the name from Brother Ji back.
"What happened to Brother Ke's hand?" Da Bin saw the plaster on his hand.
"I didn't notice that I fell down when I went downstairs." Cheng Ke smiled.
"Why didn't you go in," Jiang Yuduo asked, "what are you doing here with a pestle?"
"We've just arrived, and Ertu will be there soon. He's... injured, we'll wait for him," said a younger brother.
"Why is he injured?" Jiang Yuduo turned his face, "I was robbed last time. Did someone beat him again this time?"
"I really don't blame him this time..." Dabin said next to him, "You don't need to worry about the third brother, and I didn't plan to tell you."
"Do you blame me?" Jiang Yuduo said angrily.
A few people lost their voices, and after a while of silence, Da Bin spoke up: "After fighting with Zhang Daqi last time, it has not stopped, and his gang basically saw our people and started to fight. , we are all hiding, third brother, you said that if we can not cause trouble, we will not cause trouble."
Jiang Yuduo looked at him and said nothing.
"Last Tuesday, Bald drank a little wine and happened to pass behind their bar, and he didn't run away," Dabin said.
"Are you seriously injured?" Jiang Yuduo asked.
"The thigh is broken, but it's not serious." Dabin said.
Jiang Yuduo frowned.
"Third brother, you go first, the wind is too strong." Dabin said.
Cheng Ke followed Jiang Yuduo into the store, and before he could see what was going on inside, he heard a voice shouting.
"Third Brother!"
"The third brother is here!"
"Happy New Year, Third Brother!"
…
Cheng Ke has not realized the feeling that Jiang Yuduo is the third brother for a long time, and the current contact with Jiang Yuduo makes it difficult for him to associate Jiang Yuduo with the third brother.
Hearing such a movement suddenly now, and seeing the people standing up hula in front of him, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and felt that he had gone to the wrong studio.
The store was almost full, and at a glance, it could be seen that there were at least three or four tables by Jiang Yuduo.
Including those who didn't come in from outside, there were only five or six tables in the store, almost all of which were occupied by them.
Cheng Ke experienced this kind of scene, not to mention that people who come in for barbecue may need courage, and those who have already eaten have to have courage if they don't leave early.
Who knows if such a group of people will fight at any time when they are together.
Chen Qing sat at the innermost table and raised his hand at them.
As soon as Cheng Ke sat down in the past, Chen Qing came over across Jiang Yuduo: "You sent me a bunch of broken photos!"
"What's the matter," Cheng Ke said, "isn't it better than the ones with double images you took?"
"Where is it stronger? Where am I double-imaged!" Chen Qing suppressed his voice unconvinced, "You still have such an expensive mobile phone..."
"Then you still take my picture and send it to the circle of friends?" Cheng Ke smiled.
"I can't do anything about it," Chen Qing quickly looked around, "I said I want to see the lights! I'm forced to help, besides, how can you shoot the two of you so well? Like the cover."
"We look like the cover." Jiang Yuduo pushed him, "Sit down, why don't you lie on my lap, do you want me to hug you?"
"Let's take a picture of the two of us in a while, third brother," Chen Qing leaned back in his chair. "We didn't take a photo together... I always thought you didn't like taking selfies."
"I don't like it." Jiang Yuduo said.
"Yeah, I've known you for so many years, have you never taken a selfie?" Chen Qing looked at him.
Jiang Yuduo glanced at him and took out his mobile phone: "Come."
"Come here." Chen Qing leaned beside him.
Jiang Yuduo raised his mobile phone: "Smile one, I'll laugh when I say one, two, three."
"Okay." Chen Qing grinned.
Cheng Ke looked at the two of them and felt that this photo must be terrible.
"One, two, three." Jiang Yuduo pressed the shutter after he finished speaking.
Cheng Ke felt that Chen Qing was probably more able to adapt to Jiang Yuduo's one-two-three speed of speech, and his reaction was quite fast. When he said two, he had already pulled out a smile.
"Okay," Jiang Yuduo looked at his phone, and then let Chen Qing look again, "How is it?"
"Handsome!" Chen Qing gave a thumbs up.
"Let me see?" Cheng Ke was a little curious, how could they say "handsome" just by their expressions
Jiang Yuduo handed him the phone.
There are two big faces on the screen. Because the distance is too close, one of them has one ear outside the screen, one is baring his teeth, and the other is grinning, smiling very hard.
There are still three vague words in the gap between the two. Although it is very vague, Cheng Ke can still see it.
Toilet.
He really admires it very much. It has to be a very strong friendship, so that when these two people face such a photo, they agree that it is called "handsome" together.
Cheng Ke held back a smile and returned the phone to Jiang Yuduo: "It's good, it's better to take pictures from a distance."
"This is called a close-up." Chen Qing said.
"Oh." Cheng Ke took a sip of tea.
Chen Qing went to talk to the little brother next to him, and Jiang Yuduo came over and whispered, "You said that the photo just now, can you save it if you post it?"
Cheng Ke lowered his head and laughed, and only glanced at him for a long time: "I thought you thought it was fine."
"Fuck, how about that, two silly second brothers," Jiang Yuduo said, "I'm afraid that Chen Qing will be excited to post on the Moments in a while. There are too many people in his Moments..."
"Send it to me and I'll try it." Cheng Ke said.
Jiang Yuduo sent him the photo.
Cheng Ke lowered his head and tried to save the photo.
Dabin's group who were standing outside just now probably waited until Erbald, and they all came in now, and Cheng Ke's ears were full of all kinds of excited and happy shouts.
Everyone who came in got their table, stood behind him and shouted at Jiang Yuduo, the third brother, everyone's voice was very loud, and the shouting made him tremble. He always felt that this was not to say hello, but to come War book.
However, unlike hearing such "uneducated" movements, he did not feel noisy and irritable today when he listened to these chaotic sounds, but he had a new understanding of the feeling of "lively" that he had never had before.
Excited, chaotic, everyone happy, shouting hello, hurting each other, and some color stuff mixed in.
Cheng Ke sat in these voices, lowered his head and gave Jiang Yuduo and his chief protector P photos on his mobile phone.
"I quite like being with these people." Jiang Yuduo whispered beside him.
"Well," Cheng Ke nodded, "it's good, it's lively."
"Mainly..." Jiang Yuduo hesitated, "I feel safe."
Cheng Ke tilted his head slightly: "Really?"
"Well," Jiang Yuduo responded, "they... are people in my life, all of them, every one of them... Do you understand what I mean?"
"They are all controllable. You know what kind of people they are, who they are, where they come from, and what they want to do," Cheng Ke sent the good photo back to Jiang Yuduo, "right?"
"Yes," Jiang Yuduo nodded, "I found that you are really powerful. It feels like you are right when you say it, that's all."
"I sometimes feel this way too, but in fact, I don't have a sense of security. I need a completely controllable environment," Cheng Ke smiled. "It's a pity that there are too few such environments and spaces around me."
"What about me." Jiang Yuduo patted his chest, "I'm controllable, do you understand that?"
"... Hmm." Cheng Ke looked at him.
"I'm safe." Jiang Yuduo paused and added.
"Yes." Cheng Ke responded.
He didn't know why Jiang Yuduo specifically added this sentence. Maybe Jiang Yuduo and him don't have exactly the same understanding of safety and security.
Jiang Yuduo has always been worried about his safety and worried that someone will be against him.
And these "protections" that he couldn't understand have been classified by Jiang Yuduo himself into the range that needs to be solved by a psychiatrist. Cheng Ke felt that this was Jiang Yuduo's unspoken statement, but it should be what it meant. These two days Jiang Yuduo's change is indeed obvious, and there is no longer those excessively nervous vigilance.
But now he specially added this sentence, which made Cheng Ke feel a little uneasy.
"Pour over the wine!" Chen Qing stood up, picked up an iron plate, and tapped on it with chopsticks, "Quick! Pour over the wine!"
"Fall up!" A group of people shouted in response, and there was a tinkling knocking sound in the shop.
"Today is the last day of the Chinese New Year. On behalf of the third brother, I wish everyone a happy new year," Chen Qing poured himself a glass of wine, "Good health! This is the most important thing, health!"
"Healthy!" A group of people knocked on the table with wine glasses.
"The money is rolling in! This is also very important!" Chen Qing said.
"The money is rolling!" A group of people continued to knock on the cups.
"There's nothing else, anyway, if you're in good health and you have more money, everything will be fine!" Chen Qing raised his head and drank the wine.
A group of people shouted along, and Cheng Ke couldn't hear what they were shouting. Anyway, when Jiang Yuduo picked up the cup, he also picked up the cup.
Just as he was about to lean over and kowtow with Jiang Yuduo, Jiang Yuduo's cup had already come over, and he kowtowed on his cup: "All the best."
"Everything goes well." Cheng Ke smiled.
May all go well with you.
This kind of blessing is the most difficult to achieve, and even some empty blessings.
But it is also what many people desire most. It does not need everything, everything, everything, even if only one thing goes well, it is happy.
It was the first time for Cheng Ke to say a toast in a barbecue restaurant and then toast everyone, but he thought it was quite interesting.
The owner of the barbecue restaurant is also very adaptable to their style. When everyone raised their glasses, they began to use the largest tray to pile all kinds of grilled meat and vegetables on their table.
After drinking a glass of wine, it felt as if someone was drunk immediately. Cheng Ke heard the sound of the glass falling and smashing on the ground several times, followed by laughter, and then there was someone who couldn't hear a word while eating and chatting. son's voice.
Cheng Ke reached out and took a bunch of meat that wasn't a pig whip anyway, and took a bite: "Hey, it's delicious."
"Tell me if you want to help." Jiang Yuduo said.
"One hand is enough to eat barbecue, anyway, just grab it and eat it." Cheng Ke smiled.
"Are they a little noisy?" Jiang Yuduo nibbled at a chicken wing.
"Well," Cheng Ke nodded, "It was noisy, but I was very happy."
"I usually just eat, and I don't really listen to what they say." Jiang Yuduo said.
"I just wanted to ask," Cheng Ke approached him and looked at the people around him, "Are you brothers... unemployed?"
"What are you going to eat when you are unemployed?" Jiang Yuduo snorted, "Have you watched a lot of movies? They all have jobs, but they are not the same as the jobs you understand, so let's work part-time, the chef of the small restaurant, The driver who helps people pull the goods..."
"The employees of the car beauty shop," Cheng Ke glanced at Chen Qing, "Right."
"Yes." Jiang Yuduo laughed and patted Chen Qing on the shoulder.
"Come on third brother," Chen Qing immediately turned around with the cup, "Come on! Jaeger-LeCoultre! Let's go!"
Cheng Ke picked up the cup, and the three of them kowtowed, and then they looked up and dried up. Then Chen Qing put the cup away, turned around and continued chatting with a little brother over there: "I tell you, the chest is not big. Don't put the big one in the first place, it depends on your character! You are always staring at other people's breasts, how can a girl like you, right! Rogue, that's it!"
Cheng Ke laughed.
"It's all like this, talk about girls when you drink." Jiang Yuduo said.
"Did you talk to them about girls before?" Cheng Ke asked.
"No," Jiang Yuduo snorted, "what is there to talk about, girl, even if you talk about a guide to finding girls, no girl will take the bait."
"There should be a lot of little girls who like you, right?" Cheng Ke looked around the store again. Many people came with their girlfriends, and a few were pretty.
"Well," Jiang Yuduo glanced at him, "what?"
"Don't you have one you like?" Cheng Ke asked.
"No." Jiang Yuduo replied succinctly.
Cheng Ke looked at him and said nothing.
Jiang Yuduo also looked at him, and after a while, he seemed to react suddenly, and glared at him: "It doesn't mean that I like men!"
"Did I say it?" Cheng Ke was happy.
"The way you look at me," Jiang Yuduo pointed at him, "that's what you mean! I tell you, don't keep trying to hold back if you're gay."
"Oh." Cheng Ke still wanted to laugh. He didn't know if he drank two glasses of white wine without eating anything. He was a little excited at the moment.
Jiang Yuduo looked at him without speaking, as if he was suddenly lost in thought, and after a while, his brows twitched.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Ke asked.
"You said, I..." Jiang Yuduo frowned, stopped for a while, then picked up the cup and slammed it on the table, "Drink!"
