Ye Qinghe sent Shen Zhou a message in advance, and when their family passed by, the house had already been cleaned up, and there were a few home-cooked dishes on the dining table, just out of the pot and still steaming.
Ye Ya was hungry a long time ago, she greeted her brothers politely as usual, her eyes were glued to those big white steamed buns and she didn't move a bit.
Her eager gaze made Shen Zhou laugh dumbly, "Let's eat first." After speaking, he looked at Ye Linchuan, "Uncle didn't eat either, I don't know your taste, so I just made some, I don't know if it suits you appetite."
Ye Linchuan looked over.
Then I made some casually, there are meat and vegetables, soup and fruit. This table of dishes must have cost two and a half months of living expenses for the brothers.
His eyes flickered, his expression meaningless.
"Dad, sit here." Ye Qinghe pulled out a chair.
"Eat first." Ye Linchuan had no appetite to eat, so he went outside the balcony to light a cigarette and smoke, his back showing the vicissitudes of life.
Ye Qinghe knew that the accident at home had brought a great blow to his father, so he didn't force it, and turned his eyes away to take care of his younger siblings for dinner. Ye Ya came to Shen Zhou's place and didn't see her outside, she should eat and drink, it was very easy to worry about. Several people were eating Zhengxiang, Ye Qinghe suddenly noticed the luggage bag at the door, the luggage bag was a bit damaged, it should belong to Shen Zhou.
He put down his chopsticks and asked, "Shen Zhou, are you going out?"
Shen Zhou hummed softly, and said, "We are going to move back."
After saying this, Shen Ran's expression sank.
"You want to move back to Shijin Cave?" Ye Qinghe couldn't understand, "Why?" You don't need to think about it to know that those enemies are squatting there every day, and now they go back to give each other their heads.
"This place can't accommodate so many people, besides..." Shen Zhou paused, "Isn't uncle encountering some difficulties, Shen Ran and I don't want to increase your burden."
Ye Qinghe was in a hurry: "What else do you say, how could it be..."
His voice stopped suddenly, and he instantly understood the calmness in Shen Zhou's eyes.
"You, you know?"
Shen Zhou nodded lightly.
Ye Qinghe asked: "When?"
"Last time at your house."
How can there be such a good thing in the world, as soon as the beneficiary withdrew his capital, he found a kind person to support him and his younger brother; the beating backer arranged a new residence for him. Shen Zhou specifically asked, this neighborhood is old, but the selling price is not low, outsiders want to buy it here, but the sponsor of such a good house didn't rent it out and let them live in it. At that time, Shen Zhou understood that it was Ye Qinghe who had been secretly helping him all this time.
There are complicated feelings.
There is also gratitude.
Ye Qinghe deliberately concealed it because he was afraid of embarrassing him. If he made it clear in the past, it would embarrass the two of them, so Ye Qinghe didn't say anything, and he pretended not to know. But now the situation is special, he can't stay here with his younger brother because of emotion and reason, it's causing trouble for others.
"Shen Zhou..." Ye Qinghe's lips chattered, and he only called out his name in a low voice for a long time.
"By the way, I'll leave these to you." Shen Zhou took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, which contained five or six hundred yuan. The money might not be worth mentioning to them, but it was half of Shen Zhou's possessions. His ears were slightly red, and he said with a little embarrassment, "I don't understand what the news said, but, but save it, it should be enough for you to live for a while..."
Ye Qinghe's eyes turned red.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely touching, and anyone who saw it would cry for the sincere brotherhood of the teenagers.
But--
"I'm not broke."
Ye Linchuan's cold voice suddenly interjected, and he decisively returned the several hundred dollars to Shen Zhou, ignoring the astonished expression on the other side's face, and said, "You and your brother don't need to leave." The voice is hoarse and deep, and every word reveals strength, "Since I have decided to support you, I will continue to support you until you reach adulthood, and this will not change."
Shen Zhou opened his mouth, but under such strong pressure, he didn't think of words to refuse.
After deciding to live together, it is necessary to consider the distribution of the room.
This house has four bedrooms and two living rooms, among which the study room was turned into a utility room after grandma left, and the things they left behind were piled up in it. The remaining master bedroom was empty. Shen Zhou hadn't entered it since he moved in, for fear of accidentally damaging the valuables left by the previous owner. There were two second bedrooms, one for him and his younger brother.
After some discussion, they decided to let Ye Ya sleep in the small study, Ye Linchuan sleep in the master bedroom, and the two brothers share a room. The master bedroom can be tidied up today. There are a lot of things piled up in the study, and it will definitely not be cleared in half a day. Tonight, the three brothers and sisters can only go to the master bedroom for a while.
Everyone happily reached a consensus, and started cleaning after eating.
Several people have a clear division of labor, those who wash the dishes, and those who do the shopping, do not delay anyone. Ye Ya is still a short bean sprout, and she can't do the work of washing dishes and cleaning the floor. She knows this very well, so she asked her brother to fetch a basin of water, wet a small rag, and obediently find the tables, chairs and benches to wipe.
So in this kind of busy figure, Ye Linchuan who was sitting on the sofa doing nothing looked particularly abrupt.
"Brother, get out of the way~" Ye Ya Zhiyin ordered.
Ye Linchuan lowered his eyes and saw the child squatting on the ground like a chubby ball, holding the rag with two fleshy hands, and the five fleshy dimples on the back of his hands were clearly visible.
——She is fat.
Ye Linchuan came to a conclusion.
"Step aside."
Ye Ya thought he didn't hear, so she said it again in a drawn out tone.
Ye Linchuan reluctantly moved his butt aside so that she could come in and wipe the table.
Ye Ya hummed and worked hard, her lips were all pursed, her small expression was focused and serious. Ye Linchuan raised his eyebrows, looked around from the corner of his eye, pointed his fingertips on the table: "Here."
Ye Ya looked over and wiped it vigorously with a small rag.
Ye Linchuan pointed again: "And this."
Ye Ya took the rag to wipe it again.
This obedient look made people excited: "It hasn't been wiped clean either."
"..."
Ye Ya wiped the table for a long time, and when she left, her arms were sore and she had no strength left. Looking at her languid back, Ye Linchuan's depressed mood was relieved a little.
Shen Ran, who witnessed the whole process, talked to Zi Yu in a low voice: "Your father is indeed the leader."
Ziyu was puzzled: "How do you say that?"
Shen Ran: "I just like to point fingers."
Ziyu suddenly realized and nodded in agreement.
Their conversation naturally did not escape Ye Linchuan's ears. Looking at the busy figures, Ye Linchuan couldn't hold back his face, and suddenly felt that the sofa under his buttocks was not as comfortable as before.
"Dad, lift your feet."
Ye Qinghe came over with a mop in his hand, and motioned him to move it.
Ye Linchuan half clenched his fists and coughed lightly, then got up suddenly, and stretched out his hand to avoid his sight: "Give it to me."
"Ah?" Ye Qinghe didn't understand what his father meant.
"I'll drag it."
"."
"...Let's just say goodbye." Ye Qinghe frowned, which was simply embarrassing him.
My father is a standard rich second generation. He has never worked hard since he was born. He usually doesn't even bother to drive the sweeping robot. Now it's...too embarrassing for him to do housework.
"Give it to me." Ye Linchuan repeated again.
Ye Qinghe took a deep breath, handed the mop to him, and told him worriedly: "Don't force it."
Ye Linchuan snorted softly, who did he look down on.
He rolled up his sleeves and picked up a mop to replace Ye Qinghe's work. Ye Linchuan had never done these things before, even when he was on duty at school, his younger brother helped him, and he didn't do any housework after taking over the company. Yu Yan used to say that even if the soy sauce bottle fell in front of his eyes, he wouldn't bother to help him.
Thinking of his wife, Ye Linchuan felt a little dazed again.
The floor he mopped showed a bright and shiny water, Ye Qinghe frowned more and more tightly, but in order not to dampen his father's enthusiasm, he shook his head and continued to find other jobs without saying anything.
After wiping the living room, Ye Linchuan grabbed the mop and went to the master bedroom.
Ye Ya happened to be in the master bedroom too, and she was squatting on the ground wiping a bunch of stains on the corners, wiping very seriously, when she saw Ye Linchuan coming in, she only gave him a look, then turned around to leave him with his chubby back. Ye Linchuan took a look and continued to wipe the floor.
The two are doing their own things, and no one interferes with the other. But suddenly, Ye Ya's half-squatting body was covered in the shadows. In the next second, her little hand holding the rag was stepped on the ground by a big foot. Ye Linchuan, who was looking at her, quickly realized that he had stepped on something, hurriedly took his foot away, and turned to look down.
The air is extremely still like a freeze frame.
a second passed...
two seconds passed...
Pain suddenly burst from the palm.
Ye Ya blankly picked up the little hand that was trampled red, her clear eyes were instantly covered with tears.
"You, you stepped on me." Her grievances were about to overflow.
Ye Linchuan came back to his senses: "I didn't." The three words were calm, as if pretending to be calm after committing evil.
Ye Ya pursed her mouth and blew on her little hands, the pain not only didn't go away but intensified, hotly stimulating her fragile nerves.
"You did it on purpose!" Ye Ya raised her head, her crying face was full of accusations of his bad behavior.
"I said I didn't..." Ye Linchuan's brows were stamped into "Sichuan", "I didn't see you when I was wiping the floor."
Ye Ya's round eyes widened a bit, and she looked at him in disbelief: "You, you came here to mop the floor just to step on me on purpose?"
Ye Linchuan was confused by this weird logical way of thinking.
What do you mean coming here to mop the floor in order to step on her on purpose? !
Why did she emphasize the word "specially"? !
His silence strengthened the thoughts in Ye Ya's heart. He walked two steps forward, raised his head high, tears glistened at the corners of his eyes, "How can you be so vicious!"
Ye Linchuan's eyelids twitched, and he supported the mop with both hands, holding back his impatience, and repeated what he said before: "I didn't mean it when I said it, you are squatting here to hinder me."
These words made the little girl's beautiful face turn red, unwillingness, anger, and all emotions turned into grievances, and she just wanted to find someone to vent out. She twitched her shoulders twice, covered her hands and whimpered loudly, and ran out while crying. She never thought that the ground was too slippery, and the eager Xiaotuanzi fell to the ground without paying attention. His body was like a small fish, and he slid to the front.
"Pfft."
Ye Linchuan smiled gloatingly.
Ye Qinghe and Shen Zhou had never seen such an appearance before, and they were all stunned for a moment.
Ye Ya, who slipped and fell to the ground, choked up and got up from the ground, weeping and sending her little hand to Ye Qinghe, "Brother, Ye Linchuan stepped on me, it hurts..."
My younger brother was not happy to call, so he directly named Ye Linchuan by name. It seemed that this was really a grudge.
Ye Qinghe took a look at the small hand that held Ye Ya, then turned his head and shouted to his father: "Dad, why are you stepping on Ya Ya?"
Ye Linchuan restrained his smile and said lightly, "I didn't see it."
Ye Qinghe looked suspicious, and finally hugged Ye Ya and went to the bathroom to wash his hands without saying anything.
