Zhu Zhifei was eating fried rice and didn't notice Lu Shi changing the plate.
Wei Guanglei caught a glimpse and glanced at Lu Shi, who was drinking tea from a disposable plastic cup, but said nothing.
Ever since he finished the hot pot meal together last week, he has been a little unsure of what to say.
This inconsistency is more obvious now.
The Lu Shi he knew didn't have particularly strong emotions about anything, and was always casual.
Playing games is to accompany him and Zhu Zhifei to open the black and fly with his brothers. It's not like Zhu Zhifei and himself, they will be irritable and unwilling to lose.
In Lu Shi's place, no matter whether he wins or loses, his expression does not change.
Driving the track, fishing, all to make money.
As for study, Wei Guanglei thinks that people with IQ are there, and they are used to being excellent. As Lu Shi said, if you take the first test, you can get a full scholarship, live in the best dormitory, and get a certain degree of freedom. First, why not take it
Therefore, Wei Guanglei originally thought that his brother was too indifferent, and even had a little bit of world-weariness that was not obvious. It is estimated that no existence can easily arouse his concern and emotions.
Until a Chu Yu appeared.
This man is like an accident. Let Wei Guanglei overturn his own judgment.
Speaking of which, he didn't really know what was going on between Lu Shi and Chu Yu.
But he could see that Lu Shi cared more about Chu Yu than the rest, even beyond the normal range.
Regardless of whether it was the hunter's excitement when facing the prey, the possessiveness that never let go, or something else, Wei Guanglei felt a little startled.
Putting all the intense emotions on one person, on the surface, he was strong and took the initiative.
But in fact, all the attention, thoughts, and emotions revolved around that one person, and he had completely plunged himself into passivity first.
The Qingchuan River flows slowly, and the wind blows very thinly, with moist water vapor blowing on the face.
After finishing half the plate of fried rice, Zhu Zhifei finally put the bottom of his hungry stomach, he raised his head and sighed in a long tone, "This is life!"
He patted his stomach again, "Unfortunately, the thought of writing two sets of papers when I get home makes my fucking heart hurt!"
Chu Yu was eating fish and was surprised when he heard the words, "It's almost two o'clock now, you still have to write papers when you go home? How late will you have to stay up?"
"My mother signed me up for two cram schools. All day tomorrow, there will be homework in the cram school. I can write two of them tonight. I won't be able to fall asleep anyway."
Zhu Zhifei poked the remaining half of the plate of fried rice with his chopsticks, "My mother is also absolutely amazing. The second year of high school is just starting, and she is looking up the recipe for the third year of high school. She is afraid that I will overuse my brain and ask my neighbors about the best soup to cook. Bunao. So, this indicates that now, my mother has just started to work, and she only signed up for two cram schools. It is estimated that next semester, Saturdays will be occupied. "
No one in Chu Yu's family cares about his studies, and it is up to him to make up lessons or not. Just listening to it now makes me feel a lot of pressure.
The evening was clean, with wine, food, and brothers, and Zhu Zhifei started talking about it.
"Since I was in elementary school, my mother kept telling me to study hard, study hard, make a lot of money in the future, and move out of Qingchuan Road. I'm quite self-aware, and my talent is just average. It is estimated that it is more than a little short. But I also tried my best and tried my best."
He ate a bunch of dried tofu in two mouthfuls, "I went to Jia Ning Private School in the first year of high school. My mother was probably swelled and said she wanted to send me abroad. How much money does my family make? I don't know how much money is in my family? , if it weren't for the school's half of tuition and miscellaneous fees, and a scholarship, I would never have entered Jianing Private."
Wei Guanglei waved and asked the boss to take two cans of pineapple beer.
Pull open the tab and put Zhu Zhifei at hand.
Zhu Zhifei laughed and scolded, "Go away, I'm the one who wants to go back and write papers and drink shit!"
That being said, the hand is very honest and took it.
Wei Guanglei smiled, "Isn't this to match the atmosphere?"
"What atmosphere?"
"Adolescent confused teenager, pouring out his thoughts on the riverside at night."
Zhu Zhifei was amused, "You're the mother of a confused teenager, I know it very well. Study hard, get into a good school, earn a lot of money, and give my mother a pension. My goal is steady, clear, and confused! "
"Don't fart, how uncivilized."
Wei Guanglei held the can and drank pineapple beer, "However, if your mother heard you say this, I don't know how happy she would be. I will definitely cook you more eggs for breakfast tomorrow."
"Don't worry if I can have more eggs for breakfast."
Zhu Zhifei thought the glasses were in the way, so he took them off and put them by his hand, "How about you, Shishi, 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 can 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, I What to do at home, what to do at the store."
Zhu Zhifei lowered his head, placed the barbecue signs neatly next to each other, and lowered the volume, "Your dad... No news yet?"
"I thought he was dead a long time ago." Wei Guanglei's expression faded, the corners of his mouth curled up sarcastically, "He gambled a lot, lost the bet, borrowed usury loans without my mother, couldn't pay the money, and ran away. He left me and My mother, from the day he disappeared without a trace, I thought he was dead. My mother and I are both, and we are doing fine now. At least we don’t have to worry about food and clothing. So whether to study or not, in my case, there is really no problem. So important."
Chu Yu ate the fish meat 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 take care of him, he still has older brothers and sisters, with good enough economic conditions, a car and a house, and food and clothing.
He didn't have to work very hard to get what many people dreamed of.
Even in contrast to most people, he was born in Rome.
Zhu Zhifei patted Wei Guanglei on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, your dad is really not human. Now that's fine. After all, it's better for you to perform a performance on the spot to memorize chemical formulas."
Wei Guanglei smiled and kicked Zhu Zhifei's stool, "Fuck your mother, are you running on me?"
Zhu Zhifei laughed and hid behind the plastic stool.
Lu Shi took a sip of tea and talked to Wei Guanglei, "If you don't have enough money, remember to tell me."
"Well, I can pay it back on time in the past two months. If it's really not enough, I'll ask you to borrow some." Wei Guanglei took the jug and touched the plastic cup of Lu Shishang's tea, "Brother, I Don't say thank you."
Wei Guanglei drank, Lu Shi drank tea, "Well, I eat at your house a lot."
Wei Guanglei raised his lips and smiled.
Seeing that the boss was going to collect the net by the river, Zhu Zhifei put down the plastic stool and called Chu Yu a few steps away, "School Flower, do you want to go and have a look?"
Chu Yu was very interested in these, "Yes! Wait for me!"
The boss had a head-mounted searchlight on his head, with Chu Yu and Zhu Zhifei following behind.
The slope of the river bank was soaked, slippery, and pitch-dark, and they didn't go down, they just watched from the bank.
Zhu Zhifei stretched out in the night breeze, and said incongruously, "Actually, the stone was not called this name at first."
Chu Yu looked back from the river and looked at Zhu Zhifei, "What's that called?"
"Wei Jiaqiang, hahaha, isn't it rude? He changed the name now, just after his dad ran away."
Zhu Zhifei's tone was very relaxed, and he told Chu Yu, "Guanglei, it means being open and aboveboard. At that time, his family was being chased by loan sharks, what threats and splashes of paint were all done. Shitou said, he will spend the rest of his life. , will never be like his dad, being a street rat and useless."
"He wants to live with integrity."
Chu Yu couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He heard the sound of water splashing when he pulled up the fishing net, and said, "Very good name."
"Yes, Shito's cultural level, it is not easy to come up with this name, I don't know how long it takes to turn the dictionary."
Zhu Zhifei slapped Wei Guanglei mercilessly, held up his glasses, and said, "Brother Lu and I have always been concerned about whether Shitou should continue to study or not. A family like ours is destined to only learn through reading. Only then can we go up. Therefore, Brother Lu is still holding on to the stone, and wants to make up lessons for him.
But now, I feel that people are really different.
My family, although not much money, has enough food and clothing. I have nothing to worry about, just concentrate on reading and the merits will be complete. The stone is different, he has already carried the burden of the family's livelihood on his shoulders. So, as a brother, do I just... just have to respect his choice? School flower, do you think my idea is right? "
Chu Yu didn't nod or shake his head, "My brother taught me that everyone has their own way of living, and it's not a good thing to forcibly interfere in the lives of others. Probably, life is like drinking water, knowing whether it's cold or warm?"
Zhu Zhifei looked at Chu Yu in surprise, "School flower, I didn't expect you to be such a school flower."
"Then what do you think I am?"
Zhu Zhifei touched his nose, "Uh, it's probably...why not eat minced meat? Hahaha, after all, there is a really big gap between you and me, Shishi, growing environment, etc."
Chu Yu stared, "I'm not stupid!"
Zhu Zhifei apologized with a smile, "Well, my fault, I took it for granted."
The owner of the barbecue stall was dragging the fishing net up, and Zhu Zhifei asked loudly, "How is it, how much?"
The boss was cheerful and very happy, and the folds 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.
When walking back, looking at the dilapidated barbecue stall and Lu Shi and Wei Guanglei sitting at the small square table from a distance, a thought suddenly swirled in Chu Yu's mind.
Zhu Zhifei's goal is to study hard, pass the exam well, find a good job, make money, and take care of his family.
Wei Guanglei's goal is to repay the debt, take care of the auto repair shop, and share the burden for his mother.
Even the owner of a barbecue stall, the goal may be to attract more diners, catch more fish, make money, support the family, and raise the children.
So... what about himself, what is his goal
Chu Yu stopped in his footsteps.
He suddenly discovered that, after living for seventeen years, he could not say what his goal was.
I drove away from the river and returned to Qingchuan Road within a few minutes.
Chu Yu looked around, surprised, "So close to the river?"
"That's right," Wei Guanglei pointed, "over there, go straight down the alley and go straight down to the river. So Qingchuan Road is not bad for living, there is river breeze, and it is cool in summer."
When the car drove back to the warehouse, Wei Guanglei pulled down the rolling shutter and locked it.
Clap the dust on his hands, Wei Guanglei looked at Chu Yu, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you just stay?"
Chu Yu waved his hand, "Don't bother, I'll take a taxi home, it's very convenient."
Wei Guanglei didn't force it, and asked Lu Shi again, "Zhu Zhifei will go home to make papers in a while. What about you, Brother Lu? Let's continue with another one? We have braised vegetables at home."
Lu Shi put his hand in his jeans pocket, revealing a black wrist guard.
"No, I'll send him."
"Ah?" Chu Yu doesn't like to trouble people, "I'm not a girl, so you don't need to send me."
Lu Shi didn't speak, turned around and walked out.
Finally delivered.
I don't know if it was because of excessive adrenaline secretion and excitement during racing, or because of too much blood sucking in the car. As soon as I got in the car, Chu Yu felt soft all over and couldn't open his eyes.
Before driving too far, Chu Yu put his head against the glass window and fell asleep in a daze.
The taxi drove on the empty road, and the street lights kept retreating along the way, and the warm light passed through the car window and fell into layers of light and shadow.
Drive into the tunnel.
There was an unchanging picture in his field of vision. Lu Shi turned his eyes and saw Chu Yu's eyelashes, under the light, cast a clear shadow.
He slept uneasily, frowning slightly, fingers flexed, holding his cuff loosely, breathing quiet and harmless.
After watching for a while, Lu Shi lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand, scooped up the person, and put his pillow on his shoulder.
Movement is light.
Chu Yu instinctively rubbed the fabric on Lu Shi's shoulder, and murmured unconsciously, "Lu Shi..."
Exit the tunnel.
There were sparse people on the street, and the cold neon flies outside the car window. After a few seconds, Lu Shi responded in a low voice, "Yeah."
