Chapter 56 LVI

It was agreed to sleep in for a while, but someone secretly got up to recite words.

Yang Sheng turned his body sideways and stared at his boyfriend for a while.

Xia Zang obviously noticed his gaze, and the smile on the corner of his mouth widened as he recited the words.

"Sincerity." After saying the word, Xia Zang looked at him.

Yang Sheng replied in a second: "Sincere, sincere. It's a noun."

"How to spell it?" Xia Zang asked.

Yang Sheng supported the bed and sat up, threw himself on the person, pretended to be stupid and shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then you'll know when you sleep a little longer." Xia Zang joked with a smile.

"Bad guy." Yang Sheng said, biting the tip of his tongue, wrapped his arms in his arms, and looked at the word book seriously.

In a tacit understanding, the two quietly read the words on both sides, and exhaled at the same time.

"Get up." Xia Zang said.

"Change clothes." Yang Sheng said.

The corners of their mouths still had traces of last night, they got too close, and couldn't help but lick each other again.

"What if we are discovered?" Yang Sheng suddenly remembered this.

"It's just that the weather is dry, and I bit it when I was dreaming." Xia Zang replied without changing his face.

Yang Sheng stared at him for a second or two, feeling that his elder brother's ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open had reached a new level.

Fortunately, the clothes were thick enough to completely cover any marks on her body.

If it is summer, it must be terrible.

The red sweater was also bought from the closed clothing store. When they gave the money, they deeply sympathized with the loss of the owner.

The shopkeeper looked at them with the expression of finally seeing the savior, and as a token of his gratitude, the fat middle-aged man also gave them two plaid scarves of the same style and different colors.

At the end, I sent my heartfelt blessings and said: "You two brothers have such a good relationship."

Yang Sheng wanted to respond with a smirk, but Xia Zang said blankly, "He's not my brother."

The boss obviously began to sweat at that time, shivering from the cold wind blowing into the store in winter.

Yang Sheng quickly pulled Xia Zang's arm, but it was a moment too late, Xia Zang said with certainty: "He is my boyfriend."

The boss's trembling hands stopped instantly, "Huh?"

Xia Zang said, "Yes."

While Yang Sheng covered his eyes, his brain was running fast, thinking about how to fool around in front of the boss.

As a result, the boss turned around and walked towards the hanger, waved his hand and said, "I have a lot of the same style here, which can be used as couple clothes, do you want to have a look again?"

Well, do business, don't mix it up.

Wear a little red during the New Year, and the whole person will look unique.

"Of course you're energetic in bright colors." Yang Sheng said helplessly, but he couldn't resist his boyfriend's starry eyes, so he had to stand obediently and let him manipulate him.

This person had very long eyelashes, and when his eyes lit up, they had a flickering effect. If he asked for something casually, Yang Sheng couldn't summon up the courage to refuse at all.

Finally having seen enough to play around with, Xia Zang hugged Yang Sheng by the waist, leaned into his ear and said, "Happy New Year."

Yang Sheng was stunned. He wanted to say that it was not past midnight, but seeing his boyfriend's high spirits, he replied, "Happy New Year."

On Thirty Days, the whole family got up a little late. After Xia Zang and Yang Sheng got out of the bathroom after washing, they ran into the aunt who had just come out of the master bedroom.

Auntie didn't seem to have slept well, her eyes were black and blue, and her gaze lightly swept across their touching fingertips.

Subconsciously pulling back half a centimeter away from the other party, Yang Sheng shouted first: "Morning, Mom."

"Morning, Auntie." Xia Zang followed suit.

The aunt smiled wearily: "You have so many clothes of the same style, you really look like two brothers."

Xia Zang could already feel Yang Sheng's worried gaze, but he wasn't the kind of person who didn't know how to judge the situation. He imitated Yang Sheng's smirk in his memory and said, "We are brothers after all."

It's all on the same household registration book, which makes me feel sad when I think about it.

Auntie's complexion changed, and she couldn't tell whether she was relieved or had mixed feelings.

"What do you want to eat in the morning? Auntie will make it for you." But she quickly adjusted her expression and asked softly as usual.

"Auntie, you can do whatever you want, just do whatever you want." Xia Zang said a few perfunctory words.

Yang Sheng said casually, "It's fine if you don't eat."

Auntie patted Yang Sheng's arm and smiled amusedly.

But after getting away from his aunt's sight, Yang Sheng's expression of foolishness suddenly collapsed. Xia Zang knew what he was worried about, and wanted to reach out to touch him, but resisted his movements and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"It's okay." Xia Zang said softly.

Yang Sheng frowned: "Brother, when I came out of the shower yesterday, I saw that the water dispenser was not turned off...but it should have been turned off before we went to the bathroom."

"But even if Auntie knows that we took a bath together, it won't be a problem." Xia Zang reassured.

"Yes, anyway, everything can be done in the direction of a good relationship." Yang Sheng said half bitterly and half teasingly.

"Just beat him to death and refused to admit it," Xia Zang said.

Yang Sheng nodded.

Xia Man came out of the master bedroom with a chicken nest on his head, and the couple who were chatting were silent in tacit agreement. Fortunately, there was a safe distance between them, so he didn't notice anything unusual.

"It's so early in the morning, are you punished to stand there?" Xia Man scratched his five or six-month pregnant belly, and dragged his voice slowly.

"You just got up, stand up and be more energetic." Yang Sheng stood in front of Xia Zang without any trace, and said first, "Morning, uncle."

"Then sit down now, don't make you old men look like authoritarianism." Xia Man said, and sat down slowly while pulling on his slippers.

Yang Sheng just dragged Xia Zang together and sat on the nearby sofa.

Xia Zang is too lazy to complain, is this old man clueless?

"I recently saw Xiaosheng's grades, which are very good. Since the third year of high school, he has been No.1 in the class." Xia Man patted the armrest of the sofa, showing a smile that he thought was kind and gratifying.

Fortunately, Yang Sheng lowered his eyes and didn't look at it, he just said perfunctorily: "So-so, so-so."

"Look at you doll, you're so modest." Xia Man pretended to laugh heartily, and then his eyes sank, and he glanced at Xia Zang, "It's not like some people who think they are great all day long, and their tails go up to the sky (tia), I don’t know how many points I got in the test.”

Xia Zang originally wanted to say that you control my test scores, do you control my scores?But Yang Sheng kept holding his wrist and rubbing it lightly, he was so itchy that he didn't want to speak, lest he spoil the good atmosphere.

Yang Sheng answered clearly for him: "My brother and I have almost the same grades, and it can even be said to be better than me. Thanks to him teaching me English, I have been able to secure the first place these few times."

A little bastard who opened his eyes and told nonsense, he was the top in his class for three years in high school, and his English was just icing on the cake.

Xia Zang raised his other movable hand, and patted the back of Yang Sheng's hand unceremoniously.

"Encourage each other, promote each other." Xia Man tends to be bureaucratic when he has no words, "Then you... what are your plans for the future?"

A vengeful old man.Xia Zang snorted coldly.

Yang Sheng didn't even realize it: "Me, me? I can go to any university, as long as I can be with my brother."

"Just whisper that you have a good temper, and you can get along with this stubborn guy." Xia Man said, and gave Xia Zang a sideways look.

Xia Zang dodged, and the attack was ineffective.

Anyway, he felt that if Xia Man could discover his relationship with Yang Sheng by himself, he would have to go to the next life.

With this reassuring IQ alone, Xia Zang felt an indescribable sense of relief towards his biological father.

It should be enough to focus on dealing with my aunt these two days.

"No, the main reason is that my brother has been taking care of me. If he wants to pass the college entrance examination, I can trouble him for two more years." Yang Sheng brought the topic back to Kua Xiazang without any trace.

Xia Zang couldn't help chasing his eyes, only two years of trouble?

Yang Sheng blinked, trouble for the rest of his life, okay?

OK OK.Xia Zang was delighted, especially when he saw Xia Man's expression was not good, his joy was a little more frustrating.

But Xia Man naturally couldn't understand his happiness correctly, "Don't think I don't know, it must be Xia Zang who winks at you, and you speak well of him. Don't worry, with uncle here, you must be honest If you don't, he will definitely not scream at you."

Okay, Shaman, I beg you to keep this IQ up.Xia Zang never felt that there were times when he was so pleasing to the eye as an old man.

"Uncle, don't worry, what I said is [-]% true." Yang Sheng couldn't help laughing, "We have a good relationship, I don't need to speak ill of him."

"If you dare to speak ill, I will punish you." Xia Zang finally said.

Xia Man on the opposite side stared, and shouted: "I said, this melon baby is uneasy and kind!"

If the aunt hadn't come out of the kitchen, she would have been able to see the situation in the living room from a distance. Xia Zang rubbed Yang Sheng into his arms openly, laughing at Xia Man's insanely cute IQ.

"What are you talking about, are you all so happy?" Auntie walked to the sofa, and at this moment Xia Zang and Yang Sheng also separated by half a centimeter.

Yang Sheng responded nonchalantly: "I just talked to my uncle about the future plan, and my uncle gave us some good suggestions."

Xia Man blew his beard and stared: "I don't have any good advice, anyway, some people will definitely not listen to it."

"As long as you speak human words, I must still listen." Xia Zang didn't bother to hold it at the moment, he was in a good mood, and of course he wanted to mock Xia Man.

"You...tsk." Xia Man turned his face away in displeasure, "You twist your long hair that looks like a rascal, and then tell me to be obedient."

"Then you also shave your old beard, and then make me obedient." Xia Zang didn't suffer at all, and didn't back down.

"Okay, okay, come over to have breakfast, I'll wake Xiaotong up." The auntie clapped her hands and said slowly as if coaxing a child.

Xia Zang and Yang Sheng responded together: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Auntie/Mom."

Inexplicably a little warm meaning.

On New Year's Eve, we had to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new; but the house was spotless and there was nothing to say, so my mother sent Yang Sheng and his brother out to buy snacks and drinks.

"Don't be bored at home all day." The mother said.

Although I'm not sure what my mother is thinking, it must be great to go out and let the wind go.

Yang Sheng asked for a shopping list, then changed shoes with Xia Zang and went out without hesitation, even avoiding his uncle's hand to give the red ticket perfectly.

I didn't think of this until downstairs, but the red ticket can't be chased, so I can only pay for my own money with tears in my eyes.

The department stores and supermarkets in the community will not close during the Chinese New Year, which brings great convenience to the lives of residents.

Together they found a shopping cart, Xia Zang was in charge of pushing it, and Yang Sheng was in charge of selecting products from the list.

When I was in school, I also went to a supermarket together, but many times it was like a war, and I hurriedly picked up some daily necessities before paying and leaving.

I'm not in a hurry to go home now, so I just took a few steps and stopped to look around. After finding a pack of snacks I haven't seen before, I even took it out to show the other party.

Then, in order not to cause trouble for the salesperson, he put the snack bag back on the shelf obsessively, even at the same angle as before taking it out.

Small biscuits, non-fried potato chips, bread with jam, and two cans of Coke.

Finally, I went to the fresh fruit area and weighed a bag of fresh tangerines.

This kind of fruit is very popular in the county in winter. It is juicy and sweet, and the price is also affordable.

Before I went to school to supplement vitamins, I bought a few catties of apples every week to stock up. Later, when the sugar oranges came into the market, I replaced them with a few catties of oranges every week.

For apples, wash them casually and chew on them; when eating oranges, they are even more greasy, eating petal by petal, and feeding petal by petal.

Sometimes I get so tired that I can't bear it, so I quickly peel off a new one and swallow it.

Slowly following the grandparents who came down from the neighborhood to stroll in line, Xia Zang waited in the line holding the handle of the shopping cart, Yang Sheng swam to the front of the freezer like a fish, and took out two frozen sticks Cream raisin ice cream.

"Hiss." Xia Zang felt a toothache just looking at it, "Are you really buying it?"

"Well, let's try it." Yang Sheng put the ice cream on the top of the shopping cart, "Ice cream in winter is perfect."

The child remembered that every time it came out, Xia Zang waved his hand, "Buy it, buy it all, buy it and eat it by yourself."

"Brother——" Yang Sheng just wanted to raise his voice, but there were so many people around, he could only suppress his anger, and muttered, "If you don't eat, I'll break up with you for one minute!"

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid." Xia Zang couldn't help laughing, "I will eat it, I will definitely eat it, even if I have a toothache."

"Well, if you really have a toothache, you don't have to..." Yang Sheng weakly wanted to take the ice cream back.

Xia Zang grabbed his hand, "Let's go, check out."

It was one person who carried a large plastic bag and a stick of cream ice cream.

The outdoor temperature is about ten degrees, the ice cream will not melt, and the mouth will not be cold.

The cream is soft and dense, and it contains dried raisins. The sweetness is fresh and refreshing, and it is not greasy.

Xia Zang thought that Yang Sheng, a non-sweet tooth lover, would also like this one, otherwise he wouldn't bite like a hamster.

"The taste of childhood." After eating half of it, the man clattered and shook the bag in his hand, sighing with satisfaction, "But it used to be one yuan each, but now it costs three yuan."

"Prices are rising fast." Xia Zang said, and he bit his tongue too, "You seem to have bought me a meal when it was one dollar."

"You remember wrong." Yang Sheng squinted and smiled, "To be precise, you paid [-] cents, and I paid [-] cents. We bought one together."

"Well, when mom and uncle first got married, when we were still living in the old house. I don't know what they were doing that day. They weren't at home anyway. The air conditioner in the house was broken and it was so hot that I almost pushed over. But you were sitting in your room reading a book, and nothing happened. To save myself, I opened the anti-theft door and went downstairs to the canteen to buy popsicles."

"But the canteen was too good. There were no popsicles worth [-] cents. I was about to cry at the time, but I was reluctant to leave, so I slapped the fan at the door of the shop."

"Maybe I'm short and blocked by the freezer. The boss didn't notice me, so I let me rub against the fan. Then I just calmed down, and you ran out of the unit building panting, and you saw me from a long distance and asked me." Beckoning, baring your teeth and claws like you want to beat me up."

A little tired from walking, and his throat was dry when talking, Yang Sheng finished biting the ice cream in two or three mouthfuls of "sihasha", then threw the ice cream stick far into the trash can, and then freed up another hand to pull Xia Zang away There is a recreational area with swings and slides.

For a while, the beasts in the community were locked up at home by their parents, and the surroundings were so quiet that it was comfortable.

"Take a break."

They sat on the stone bench next to the swing, facing a cluster of dense bamboo forests, which separated this open space like a curtain.

In summer, the cool breeze blows, and the bamboo forest brings coolness; in winter, it is uncomfortable, and Xiaoxiao's constant scratching makes people feel cold.

But the young man is full of anger, so he is naturally not afraid of these, not to mention sitting on the stone bench and eating popsicles, he doesn't pay attention to the cold winter that is about to leave.

Xia Zang used the ice cream on his own hand to tease the child, and continued to recall the past: "I should catch you at that time, a little melon baby, I don't know if someone is waiting outside the outside. baby."

"You can't beat me again." Yang Sheng snorted arrogantly, "The last time I saw me, I still burst into tears. I was so scared that I hurriedly paid for popsicles, lest you might cry out badly."

"Who's crying?" Xia Zang pretended to be stupid and took a bite of the ice cream, but he didn't expect Gua Wazi to come up to him suddenly, and sucked half of the cream between his lips and teeth with the tip of his tongue.

"Oh, how do I know that?" Yang Shengyan licked the cream on his lips contentedly, "I only know that it was the first time in my life that I entertained guests and coaxed people, and it cost someone fifty cents. It's too embarrassing—— "

"So this time it was raised to three yuan. Thinking about asking him to eat it again, I was so busy crying at that time, I guess I didn't even taste the taste of popsicles."

Xia Zang listened to this man's random arrangement of himself, and felt angry and amused at the same time.

After eating the last bit of ice cream, throwing away the ice cream stick, he licked his sore back molars from the ice, unceremoniously pushed his head forward, and then closed his mouth tightly.

What kind of creamy raisin taste is not worth mentioning at this time, Xia Zang let go of this little heartless: "I should beat you up then."

"For the ice cream's sake..." Yang Sheng stretched out his hand to pluck Xia Zang's hair from his temples, and Xia Zang grabbed his hand before he could finish speaking.

"Don't get lost in the future." Xia Zang said.

"I know." Yang Sheng replied.

How could I be willing to leave you again.

"Father, Tongtong wants to go and play on the swing..."

The immature children's words broke the comfortable silence around them.

The teenagers clasped each other's hands instantly, and looked behind the rustling bamboo forest.

It was as if the natural curtain was suddenly lifted, and the sullen father came out slowly, his eyes cracked.

Looking at his sons who are related and not related, his eyes are like a fierce karmic fire that burns everything, and there is a dead silence of ruined walls.

The author has something to say:

Allow me to put a lid on the pot first.

Science popularization of Sichuan and Chongqing dialects:

Gua Wazi: This seems to be quite famous, skip it.

Ruffian: rogue;

Day to Day: Dirty

In fact, to be more precise, Xia Zang should call Yang Sheng's mother (niang), with a tone, and then add the accent.

In addition, we must pay attention to the safety of children at home.

I remember when I was in the second grade of elementary school, my grandparents had gone out, and we were the only four children left at home.

Me, my sister, my cousin, my cousin.

Then the three of us who were older all watched "Shaolin Temple" on the TV, of course it could be "Youth Bao Qingtian"; my sister is the youngest, she still doesn't know much about TV dramas, and seeing us all ignoring her, she was annoyed , ran to the security door, and wanted to run away from home.

The three of us just sat on the sofa and watched her turn the door lock for several minutes, but the lock was not unlocked.

Then she pretended nothing happened, came back disheartened, watched TV with us with tears in her eyes, and didn't seem to sue us when grandpa came back.

The main thing is that the anti-theft door lock in our house is very solid, and sometimes I still can't unscrew it now, let alone my younger sister who was only a few years old at the time.

As for why Yang Sheng was able to run out, he had already graduated from elementary school at that time, so of course his hands were strong enough.
