Chapter 34 Tell the Truth

Because Lin Zhanyu's health gradually improved, he was always caught by the guys as a "strong man" when he was free. Among them, the cook was the most "excessive".

Whenever Wei Qingyun went out to work and Lin Zhanyu stayed in the restaurant to take care of the children in the morning, when the cook came back from buying vegetables, he would always greet him: "Brother Lin, come and help me chop the meat."

"No." Lin Zhanyu was chasing the elementary school to eat breakfast, and he had a headache: "I still have to take care of my nephew."

"I'll take care of the child for you." The cook picked up the child and said, "Hurry up, it's all on the cutting board. Chop it into fine pieces, and I'll make dumplings later."

Seeing Lin Zhanyu reluctantly walked into the back kitchen, he specifically ordered: "Chop it up!"

After a few months like this, Lin Zhanyu actually learned a few home-cooked Jianghuai dishes.

One day at noon, he cooked it for Wei Qingyun, and was praised repeatedly by the other party. He was so beautiful that he thought he must find someone to show off.

After much deliberation, Qiao Li was the best candidate.

So that night, when Comrade Xiao Qiao came to meet Wei Qingjun for dinner as usual, Lin Zhanyu cut him off halfway there.

The young man grabbed Qiao Li's sleeve: "Let's go, my elder brother is busy, we two brothers are going to eat."

Qiao Li was at a loss, and when he walked to the closed front hall, he found that there were four dishes and one soup on the small table in the corner.

"I did it all." Lin Zhanyu pointed to himself: "Isn't it amazing?"

Qiao Li nodded on the surface, but thought in his heart: Brother Wei is going to spoil you.

"Wait a minute." When Qiao Li was about to put down his chopsticks, Lin Zhanyu pressed his hand: "There is still one thing I haven't brought over."

Qiao Li wondered in his heart, thinking that this person left some dishes in the back kitchen, but what he never expected was that the other party brought a jar of wine.

A person who has basically never drank alcohol since he was a child, except during the New Year, looks like a familiar alcoholic, smiling with a guilty conscience and a happy smile.

"Brother Xiao Qiao," Lin Zhanyu put the wine jar on the table: "Have some?"

"I don't want it. We have discipline in our organization. I have to go back after dinner." Qiao Li stared at him in surprise: "Do you want to drink?"

"Yes." Lin Zhanyu said as he poured himself a full glass: "If you don't drink it, I can only drink it by myself."

"Can you drink it?" Qiao Li was deeply confused by this, he turned and glanced at the backyard: "Brother Wei agrees?"

When Wei Qingyun was mentioned, Lin Zhanyu immediately lost his temper: "I don't care about him, at worst, let him beat me up again."

Qiao Li was amused by him: "Okay! Be ambitious! I'll tell Brother Wei like that tomorrow, and see how he teaches you."

Lin Zhanyu picked up the wine glass and drank it down.He seldom drank this stuff, and the pungent and bitter taste passed his throat together, making his expression ugly.

Qiao Li laughed loudly: "Okay, just drink this cup, don't be brave."

"I don't." Lin Zhanyu snatched the wine jar from the opponent's arms: "Give it to me."

"What's the matter?" Qiao Li finally found out that this person is not quite right today: "Junior brother, do you have something on your mind?"

"What can I do?" Lin Zhanyu denied it.

"If you don't want to tell me, you can go back and tell Brother Wei at night." Qiao Li was very worried: "Don't spoil your body."

Lin Zhanyu shrugged and didn't speak anymore, but drank one cup after another.

In a blink of an eye, he drank most of the jar of wine.Seeing that his face was flushed and his eyes began to blur, Qiao Li said nothing to let him continue drinking.

"Okay, let's get enough of it." Qiao Li put the wine jar on the ground: "Hey, if Brother Wei gets angry, I probably won't be able to run away."

"Brother Qiao," Lin Zhanyu lay on the table with his arms on his pillow, and murmured to him, "Why do you always talk about that person?"

"Who?" Qiao Li didn't realize it all at once.

"Wei Qingyun." Lin Zhanyu pouted, "Are you afraid of him?"

"Did you forget when he whipped you with a cane?" Qiao Li rubbed his hair: "Okay, the scar forgets the pain, it's you."

"Yes." Lin Zhanyu quite agrees, but he still has doubts: "According to what you mean, is he treating me badly?"

"You really lose your conscience when you say that." Qiao Li smiled and said, "Brother Wei treats you the best."

Lin Zhanyu nodded: "I think so too."

When the alcohol came up, his stomach felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that his expression was not right, Qiao Li hurriedly helped him out to vomit for a while, and then he calmed down a little.

"Go back to the house and lie down for a while." Qiao Li said softly, "Don't drink like this in the future."

"Why is Wei Qingyun so nice to me?" Lin Zhanyu continued the topic just now as if he didn't hear Qiao Li's words.

"You have been with him since you were twelve or thirteen years old. You ate and lived together, practiced and worked together. Half of your skills were taught by your master and half by him. He is a man of flesh and blood, not a stone. Why? What's wrong with you?" Qiao Li smiled: "Don't think too much. Brother Wei is a loyal person, so he can't be wrong."

After that, he glanced at the young man who seemed a little confused: "You are also kind and righteous. In my opinion, you are more and more like him."

Wei Qingyun was writing when Lin Zhanyu was helped back to the house by Qiao Li.Hearing the knock on the door, he thought it was his junior brother knocking, but unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he smelled of alcohol instantly.

He froze in place, and when he saw the situation clearly, he suddenly became furious.

"Little Qiao!" Wei Qingyun frowned: "Did you make him drink?"

"Oh, you've misunderstood me. I can't even stop him." Qiao Li put him on the bed: "You mustn't wrong a good person. If it wasn't for me, he would still have to drink."

Lin Zhanyu was sprawled out on the bed, seemingly unconscious, but he didn't seem to have reached that point yet.

"Okay, you take care of him, I have to go." Qiao Li looked at Wei Qingyun: "He seems to have something on his mind. I haven't seen him drink like this before."

"Go back quickly." Qiao Li didn't know what Lin Zhanyu was thinking, but Wei Qingyun knew it all too well.He patted Qiao Li on the shoulder: "It's getting late."

After seeing off Qiao Li, Wei Qingyun went back to the house.Looking at the person lying on the bed, he felt mixed emotions.

If you say you are not angry, it must be false, if you say you are not distressed, it is even more unbelievable.He thought helplessly, this kid, how long does he want to make trouble?

He came closer and quietly looked at Lin Zhanyu's slightly frowning eyes.

"Senior brother," this man was really drunk, he grabbed Wei Qingyun's hand in a daze: "Don't go."

"Okay, I won't go." Wei Qingyun thought it was funny, since they knew each other, it was always the person who said he wanted to leave and he dragged him behind, this was the first time this happened.

He sat down on the edge of the bed patiently, but unexpectedly the drunk man rushed up directly.

Wei Qingyun was surrounded by the smell of alcohol, and he felt that he was about to get drunk too.

"What are you doing?" He pushed Lin Zhanyu away, with some irresistible impatience in his tone: "Lie down well."

"Do you know why I drink?" Lin Zhanyu said aggrievedly, leaning against the cold wall, "You know, you're just pretending to be confused."

"Little pole," Wei Qingyun wanted to make sure he was still a little sober: "Who am I?"

"You are my senior brother." The young man smiled silly, and wanted to rush over again, but was blocked by Wei Qingyun.

He lay down again, a little depressed: "You are my brother Wei."

Wei Qingyun sighed, and said to himself: "Do you think there is something wrong with you? Everyone else likes young and beautiful girls and rich men with a lot of money. Just you, catch me, a poor and white old man, and don't let go."

He pointed to the back room: "My child can run all over the place, what are you trying to do to me?"

"Senior brother, you know me too well, and you know me too well." Lin Zhanyu was quite drunk, and his smile seemed a little honest and honest that he had never seen before: "Sometimes I feel that you just need to look at me I can tell what I'm thinking at a glance. You know my worries and understand my pain. When I'm with you, I don't need to say much, I'm at ease."

As an artist who earns his living by talking and singing, Wei Qingyun knew for the first time that he could still speak such vague Chinese characters.

Even the kid who hadn't received any training next to the open-air bookstore when he first met could speak more fluently than he does now.

No way, who made him drunk.

"You go find a girl. After ten or eight years, you will be familiar with each other, and you will feel at ease." Wei Qingyun originally didn't intend to argue with a drunk, but what this person said made him really unhappy: "You don't even know outsiders. A few, don't be so arbitrary."

"I don't. Why don't you believe it." Lin Zhanyu covered his eyes: "Brother, I can't hold anyone else in my heart except you."

"Why?" Wei Qingyun's eyes became colder: "I'm just an ordinary commoner, what's so good about me?"

"You have many benefits." Lin Zhanyu sat up again, and he dragged Wei Qingyun to sit beside him.

"Let's settle the score." Wei Qingyun looked at him: "In terms of age, I'm so much older than you, and when I'm old in a few years, we won't be able to talk together."

Lin Zhanyu didn't answer, just lowered his head quietly.

"In terms of personality and temper, it's not that you don't know. When you were disobedient, I beat you harder than Master." He shook his head: "Now when I think back to the old days, most of the things I said to you were Preaching. How the hell did you get to where you are today?"

"I just like you to take care of me, what's the matter?" Lin Zhanyu said with a smile, his mouth was still vague: "Do you know how at ease I am when there is someone who is willing to take care of me and can take care of me?"

After finishing speaking, he leaned forward: "Brother, do you also like young and beautiful people?"

Wei Qingyun glared at him.

"I'm eight years younger than you, am I younger?" Lin Zhanyu pointed to himself: "Do you think I'm pretty enough? A while ago, the shopkeeper even praised me for being handsome."

He actually wanted to throw himself on Wei Qingyun and hug him, but due to alcohol, he had no strength left, so he could only lean against the wall and look at him.

Looking at it, he actually cried.

"Wei Qingyun, let me ask you a question." He raised his voice, "Can you find someone who treats you and your son better than me?"

He wiped away his tears: "I can treat you two well for my sister-in-law under the nine springs, but who else can?"

Later, when Lin Zhanyu recalled this ridiculous night, he could only recall a few fragments.Even so, he felt that he was too much this time.

Probably, this is Jiu Zhuang cowardly.

It is said that the average life expectancy was low in the period of the Republic of China, so it shouldn’t be a problem for a 30-year-old to call himself a “half old man”?
