Chapter 4 Big Brother (4)

In the private room, Song Yushu had already ordered the dishes.

He wore white glasses and a blue shirt, and looked gentle and elegant.

"Old Qi, please sit down."

Seeing Xiao Xiaoyi behind Qi He, he was stunned, "Who is this?"

Qi He: "Xiaoyi, call me uncle."

"Uncle." Chen also shouted.

Song Yushu is three years older than Qi He, which means he is more than a year older than Xiao Xiaoyi, so it is reasonable for him to call him uncle.

He remembered that the child in front of him was the stupid kid who was famous in the surrounding villages, Xiao Xiaoyi.

Song Yushu sighed: "You have grown up so much, your uncle once held you in his arms when you were a child."

That was when Qi He was in junior high school. Song Yushu went to Qi's house once. At that time, Xiao Xiaoyi was not even as tall as a stool and didn't look very smart. He hugged Song Yushu's legs and called him "Dad" with snot running down his face, which made Xiao De's face turn green with anger.

Chen also smiled awkwardly. This sentence would appear every time he went to a drinking party with his father.

The three of them sat together to eat. Chen Ye concentrated on eating, while Qi He and Song Yushu chatted and occasionally took a bite.

From their conversation, Chen also learned that Song Yushu studied at a normal school and was assigned back to the town to teach.

Upon learning that Qi He had returned, he made an appointment to have dinner together and reminisce about the past.

Song Yushu drank a glass of wine, and Qi He drank tea as he was going to drive.

"Lao Qi, how long will you be back for this summer vacation? When will you be back?"

Qi He put down the teacup and said, "I'll be back on the 6th."

Chen Ye paused while eating. Number 6, number 6 is five days later.

If Qi He No. 28 goes back, what will happen to his strategy mission? The progress is only .

Song Yushu expressed his understanding, "There's nothing fun in the countryside, big cities are better. By the way, are you still in touch with Qin Yalan?"

Qi He said calmly: "No more."

Chen Ye pricked up his ears and listened. Qin Yalan was a girl's name, and Chen Ye smelled gossip.

The two of them didn't mention the name again and just kept eating.

Chen Ye asked seemingly innocently: "Brother, who is Qin Yalan?"

Song Yushu laughed cheerfully, "You have to call me sister. No, it's almost your sister-in-law."

Chen Ye pinched his palm excitedly, and there was indeed a story behind it.

He looked at Qi He as calmly as possible, "Brother, is this true?"

Qi He bit a peanut and said, "Little kid, stop asking questions."

This makes it true. Chen Ye thought it was over. The target of the mission was a straight man, and he couldn't do it.

Chen Ye thought again, raising the favorability to 100 does not necessarily mean love, and it would be the same if he behaved well as a younger brother to Qi He and raised the family affection to 100.

[A favorability of 100 means love, host, please don’t misunderstand. 】

Chen Ye's heart died.

On the way back, the car stopped at the entrance of a department store. Qi He asked Chen Ye, "Do you still want to buy some candy? If I leave, no one will take you there to buy it."

Chen Ye looked at Qi He in shock. He didn't expect Qi He to still care about him.

"I want to buy it," he said honestly, "but I don't have any money."

The original owner's mother never gave him a penny since he was a child, because his money would always be cheated and robbed by others.

Qi He took out the nine yuan change from his shirt pocket and gave it to Chen Ye.

Chen Ye entered the department store again. This time he was no longer a pauper, he was rich.

He bought some candy and some other snacks.

Qi He, who was waiting for someone in the car, felt that his behavior just now was a bit strange. He saw that there was only one candy left in Chen Ye's hand, so he asked him if he still wanted to buy it.

He thought about it and felt that it was no big deal. After all, he was his brother, so he just bought it.

Chen didn't spend all the money, and there was more than four yuan left. He gave it back to Qi He, but Qi He didn't want it this time.

"Keep it for yourself."

Chen also collected the money.

Four thousand was not a lot of money in his eyes before, but now he put the four dollars and eighty-three cents into his trouser pocket with great care.

There is nothing else but poverty.

Seeing how cautious he was, Qi He wanted to tease him, "Can you keep the money safe?"

Chen Ye: "Yes, big brother, I can keep it safe no matter how much money you give me."

Qi He: "Why? Because you've become smarter?"

Chen Ye pursed his lips out of habit, which meant he was speechless.

"Brother, you look down on me."

When Qi He heard him say this, his grip on the steering wheel tightened.

He recalled that when he was a boy, he would just bury his head and cry when he was bullied or ridiculed. He didn't mean to be sarcastic, but it might sound different to sensitive people.

He said, "Brother is praising you."

Chen Ye: “Really?”

"real."

The car drove back to the Xiao family, and it was almost time for dinner.

It was dark, the air was hot, and Chen Ye felt like he was being roasted.

After everyone had taken a shower, it was finally his turn and he went to take a shower happily.

The water is warm. I put it in the water tank in the afternoon without covering it. It gets scalded by the sun, so I don’t have to boil water.

Chen Ye used a gourd ladle to scoop water and wash and rinse. The system played "Wash, Rinse, Rinse" in his mind, and Chen Ye hummed along quietly.

After taking a shower, Chen did not lie down on the deck chair. Instead, he lay on the rocking chair in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

The rocking chair was shaking back and forth, and he looked at the stars and the moon in the sky, thinking it was magical.

"System, the sky before is really different from the sky after."

System: [Not Contaminated]

Chen Ye rocked for a long time, and his rocking chair rocked too far. He saw out of the corner of his eye that there seemed to be someone standing behind him.

He stopped shaking and looked behind him. Qi He was leaning against the door frame, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a black watch on his wrist, which made his hands look good. Qi He's hands were big, so he must feel safe holding them. There was a cigarette between his fingers, but it was not lit.

"Big brother."

Qi He responded and sat on the bench next to the rocking chair.

Chen also felt that Qi He was peeking at him from behind, but he was not sure. He secretly asked the system for confirmation, but the system only replied with three words: "I don't know."

Chen also decided to play the straight ball, "Were you looking at me just now?"

Qi He glanced at Chen Ye and said, "Look at the moon."

The moon is in the sky, so beautiful, isn’t it more beautiful than the little kid Chen Ye?

Qi He lit the cigarette and took a puff.

Chen Ye also felt that he was overthinking, and he was choked several times by Qi He's cigarette.

"Can you smoke?" Qi He's voice suddenly sounded.

Chen also shook his head, "No."

He really doesn't know how to do it. He tried it when he was young and ignorant, but found it smelly and choking, so he gave up.

"Stop smoking. The smell makes me sick."

Qi He raised his eyelids and looked at him, then put out the cigarette and threw it away.

One of them was lying down, while the other was sitting, staring at the sky at the moon.

Xiao Tianci got up to go to the bathroom and saw this scene. His hands gradually tightened, and he didn't notice a few blood marks on the palms of his hands, and he didn't feel any pain.

He turned and went back to the room.

After a while, Chen Ye asked in a low voice: "Brother, can I still sleep with you tonight?"

Chen Ye: "I can tell you stories, bedtime stories."

Qi He's face was filled with black lines, "I need to hear a bedtime story?"

"My story is very interesting. I guarantee you will fall asleep after listening to it."

Qi He raised his eyebrows, full of pressure, "How do you know that I don't sleep well?"

Chen Ye had already thought of an excuse: "Although Big Brother is very handsome, your eyes are always bloodshot. I even heard voices in Big Brother's room in the middle of the night."

He was talking to a friend on the phone about stock quotes.

Finally, Chen Ye entered Qi He's room. To be more precise, it was his room.

Qi He wanted to try and see if he could sleep better with Chen by his side.

Lying on the bed, Chen Ye closed his eyes. He felt a little sleepy.

Qi He's magnetic voice rang out: "Xiaoyi, where's the story?"

Chen Ye: "The story flew away, and will fly back tomorrow."

Qi He: ...

"You have to do what you promised to others." Qi He's voice sounded quite serious, which made Chen shudder.

In order to leave a good impression in Qi He's mind, Chen Ye closed his eyes and began to tell the story.

"A long time ago, there was a princess with long black and shiny hair. Even the magic mirror said that the princess had the most beautiful hair in the world. One day, the princess was targeted by a witch, who wanted her long hair. The princess refused, so the witch locked her up in an iron tower, where she cried all day. A prince passed by and heard her crying. He climbed up the iron tower along her long hair and rescued her. In the end, they lived happily together."

The corners of Qi He's mouth twitched. Where did this pirated Andersen's fairy tale come from?

He wanted to ask something when he heard the sound of even breathing beside him.

The next day, Qi He woke up early, but Zhang Lan hadn't started knocking on the door to wake him up.

He sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a long time. This was the second time. He fell asleep quickly and did not wake up in the middle.

He looked at the bulge on the bed, with only a head sticking out.

Chen Ye's face was red from sleep, like a delicious apple.

After Qi He calmed down, he woke Apple up.

Apple saw Qi He and said obediently, "Good morning, big brother."

Qi He: "Get up and eat."

Zhang Lan grabbed Chen's ear when she saw him, "Why did you come out of Big Brother's room again? Didn't I tell you not to disturb him?"

Chen Ye looked at Qi He for help.

This time Qi He saved him, "I let Xiaoyi sleep with me. He is small and won't crowd others."

Zhang Lan let go of Chen Ye's ear, and Chen Ye's tears came out. Zhang Lan's grip was really strong.

"Don't crowd your big brother at night."

Chen also nodded to show that he understood.

At noon, Chen also went to the fields to deliver lunch to Xiao De and Xiao Tianci.

In the shed, Xiao Tianci said sarcastically, "Young Master still remembers to deliver food."

Chen Ye pursed his lips and said, "Brother, I'm going back first."

Xiao Tianci: "Wait, stay and plant rice together."

"We can finish planting the rice seedlings this afternoon." Xiao De also said, "You can work together and we will be done in no time."

Chen knew he couldn't escape, so he resigned himself to his fate and went to the fields.

He asked the system to give him some special treatment and keep him away from bugs, but the system said that the fields were full of bugs. Chen Ye had been here for so long, and this was the first time he felt a life worse than death.

Fortunately, the system was monitoring him at all times and no bugs could get into his body.

After working for two hours, the seedlings were planted and Chen was exhausted.

He lay on the ground and didn't want to move, but Xiao De and Xiao Tianci would not wait for him. They washed their hands and went back.

It was getting dark, and Chen Ye dragged his tired body and staggered back.

On the way, he met Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang sneered at Chen Ye's dying look, "Are you really sick? Planting two rice seedlings is exhausting for you."

Chen was also extremely tired and didn't want to pay any attention to him, so he walked around him and continued walking.

When Wang Qiang was planting his own seedlings today, he saw Chen Ye in the field. His movements were slow and awkward, but he seemed to be very well behaved when being scolded by Xiao Tianci, which made him feel itchy.

"Hey, why are you leaving before I even finished talking?"

Wang Qiang stuffed a bag of fish into Chen Ye's hands, "Here you go, I caught a lot of fish in the fields today, so my dad asked me to give you some."

The Wang family's fish were all for sale, so how could they have more? But Chen didn't care. He carried the fish and continued to walk home at a half-hearted pace.

Wang Qiang, who didn't even get a thank you, angrily said, "Next time I give you something, I'll be a dog."

Zhang Lan saw Chen Ye coming back with another fish, so she asked him where he got it from. Chen Ye told her, and Xiao De said sternly, "Don't ask for it next time. You can't take other people's fish for free."

"Oh, their relationship has become better, so giving them some fish is nothing?" Zhang Lan loves to take advantage of small opportunities, so she kept the fish in a tank and planned to eat them tomorrow.

Xiao De snorted, rolled up the leaf cigarette in his hand and ignored her. Zhang Lan had long been accustomed to Xiao De's appearance, and she was suffering for her face.

Chen Ye came out of the shower and ran into Xiao Tianci, who started his sarcastic tone again, "Not only did your elder brother treat you differently this summer, but even Wang Qiang, who used to bully you, has changed his ways. Brother, did you take some magic medicine that gave you an epiphany? Tell me about it and I'll go find some to try."

Chen Ye pinched his nose and said, "Brother, you have a foul mouth, stay away from me."

This sentence made Xiao Tianci's face turn pale, blue, and pale again. He was about to explode. Chen Ye had already slipped into Qi He's room.

Qi He was reading a book and taking notes. The book was about finance, and Chen didn't quite understand it.

The book was closed, and Qi He warned him in the tone of an older brother, "Your father is right, you can't ask for other people's things casually, especially..."

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, especially for a fool like you who didn't even know you were sold out.

The brick house had poor soundproofing, and Qi He could hear the conversation outside even from inside the house.

Chen Ye lay down on the bed, too tired to refute.

This was the first time Young Master Chen had done farm work in twenty years. He was so tired that he almost died. He hasn’t recovered yet.

Qi He stretched out a hand and poked Chen Ye's face. It was soft.

"Are you really that tired?"

He often helped with farm work when he was a child and didn't find it so tiring.

Chen also nodded, but he didn't move. Qi He's hand was still poking his cheek.

After a while, Qi He reacted and took his hand back so quickly that it seemed as if he was burned.

Chen Ye: "Brother, give me a candy."

Give me a candy, give me a candy. Qi He felt that the child's words were a little too sticky.

But it's normal for children to be a little clingy.

The candies bought from the town were all placed in the drawer. Qi He took out one, which was strawberry flavored, and put it in Chen Ye's hand.

Chen Ye tore open the package, put the candy in his mouth, and felt much better, as if his fatigue was also dispelled.

"Xiaoyi, Dabao is here to see you."

Dabao? It took Chen Ye a while to realize that Dabao was the original owner's good friend, a fifth-grade student.

Dabao is as tall as his name suggests and is the baby of the family. He loves reading martial arts novels and watching martial arts movies and has always dreamed of becoming a hero.

If you are a hero, you must have younger brothers. People of the same age in the village all want to be heroes and don't want to be younger brothers.

Dabao set his eyes on the stupid Xiao Xiaoyi. He asked Xiao Xiaoyi to be his younger brother and he would protect Xiao Xiaoyi. With his protection, Xiao Xiaoyi would not be bullied by kids under ten years old.

Chen Ye grabbed a handful of candy from the drawer and walked out. In the yard, Dabao was holding a stick. He said to Chen Ye excitedly, "Let's go poke the bird's nest!"

Chen Ye was not interested in this kind of thing. He put a handful of candy into Dabao's palm and said, "I won't go. I'm very tired from working today. You can go and play by yourself."

A look of loss appeared on Dabao's chubby face, but he became happy again when he saw the candy in his hand.

He said like a little adult: "Okay, you take a rest today, I will come to see you tomorrow."

……

It was night again, and Chen Ye opened the drawer as if he was familiar with it, only to find it empty.

"Brother, where are my snacks?"
