I don't dance with this pot [food]

The water pipe in Qiu Hanyu's house had burst for several days. Since the housekeeper happened to be on leave for something at home, and he didn't have time to stay at home to guard the maintenance staff, he could only eat and sleep at Chen Liang's house with a shameless face.

Chen Liang considered that he was tall and burly, and the two of them squeezed into the same bed, and he would not be able to sleep well, so he planned to tidy up his younger brother's room and free the bed for Qiu Hanyu to rest. Qiu Hanyu was also worried that getting too close to Chen Liang would easily cause Chen Liang to feel uncomfortable. Therefore, they also agreed to sleep separately.

Chen Rui's room was full of sundries, and Chen Liang had a headache after cleaning it up. Qiu Hanyu helped him take the sheets and quilt cover to the balcony to dry. When he came back, he saw a photo among the sundries.

In the photo, a sunny and handsome boy is wearing a basketball uniform, with one hand on his hips, and the other hand is spinning the basketball handsomely. His smile is so bright that it even eclipses the sun in the sky.

"This is your brother?"

"Huh?" Chen Liang came over to take a look, with a gentle smile in his eyes, "It's him. This is when he led the school team to win No.1 in the provincial basketball game in high school, and I took this photo for him."

Qiu Hanyu compared the facial features of Chen Liang and Chen Rui, and said strangely: "You don't look alike."

Chen Liang nodded: "I am like my mother, he... According to my mother, he is like my father."

Qiu Hanyu heard Chen Liang mention his life experience, and knew that his father was a relatively taboo word, so he didn't ask further: "How is your brother recently?"

Chen Liang's fingertips trembled, and his voice became extremely weak: "It should be fine."

"Should?" Qiu Hanyu grasped the key words.

"We haven't been in touch for a while," Chen Liang frowned. "Since the accident, he hasn't been in a good state of mind. He said he wanted to sleep in the middle of a few calls. I was worried that I would disturb him, so I didn't take the initiative again." I've contacted him, but he doesn't call much."

"Is there any mistake?" Qiu Hanyu said in surprise, "You are the elder brother who provides education and treatment for him, he should at least ask a few questions."

"I can't help him. It will take a year for him to remove the steel plate. During this year, he can't use his arms flexibly, and of course he can't play his beloved basketball." Chen Liang said distressedly, "He was hit hard. The will is very depressed. Except for the teacher and me, he basically doesn’t talk to anyone. However, the situation has improved recently. The teacher enlightened him, and he himself has seen it. Material help."

Qiu Hanyu fell into silence, and slowly tightened his hand holding the photo. He has no siblings, so he doesn't know Chen Liang's feelings, but from his perspective as an outsider, he doesn't quite agree with Chen Liang's approach: " To put it bluntly, I don’t think your approach and thinking are correct. If the relationship between relatives is only maintained by material things, then the relationship between you is not blood relationship, but a business relationship. You have worked for many years to raise him, and you treat him To put it bluntly, in his heart, he will equate you with money, not relatives, so I think that the amount of financial support is good, and if you are too much, you will become his ATM , he only sees your money in his eyes, not your feelings. Especially when he is not with you now, the relationship between you is even weaker, and the outside world is full of fish and dragons. It’s too late to go back to him.”

Chen Liang silently put down his work and fell into a long silence.In fact, before Chen Rui grew up, the money he gave Chen Rui was within the controllable range.

But when Chen Rui grew up, desires followed. He tried his best to control the expenditure on Chen Rui within his ability, but this was far from meeting Chen Rui's needs.Basketball shoes, computers, mobile phones... all kinds of items replaced him who had no time to accompany Chen Rui, making Chen Rui's life more colorful.

He once communicated with Chen Rui, played with Chen Rui, and bought Chen Rui his beloved gifts. He did all his duties as an elder brother, but his time was limited after all, and he was not a parent after all, and he could never replace his parents. role, that missing parental love will always be a gap in each other's hearts.

"The most powerless thing I can do is to give him a complete family."

Qiu Hanyu looked at Chen Liang's back silently, he resisted all the heavy burdens, his thin shoulders were almost deformed, but he still straightened his chest and pulled his brother forward with difficulty.As the elder brother who gave more material help and less spiritual comfort, he was guilty, but at the same time, he was not guilty.If his parents were still alive, he would definitely be able to spend more time with him and talk to his younger brother about more ignorant and ignorant topics in adolescence instead of spending time on earning money. All of this is due to the lack of love and money and feelings Unbalanced pay.

The root of everything lies in the lack of family.

Qiu Hanyu suddenly clenched his fists. At this moment, he really wanted to hug Chen Liang and tell him: "Let me be your family member and give you a complete family." But he didn't have the courage, and he couldn't say, the two This man's family is too sad, he has no heirs, no descendants, once he speaks out, it will drag Chen Liang into hell, and he cannot turn back.

He didn't speak anymore, and turned to help Chen Liang tidy up the sundries.Then, in the debris where the photo was found, I saw another photo.

The photo is a group photo of two people. The two brothers, one tall and one short, put their shoulders together and smile at the camera. The younger brother smiles with crooked eyebrows, and the older brother smiles softly and shyly, but his appearance is...

Qiu Hanyu's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at Chen Liang in disbelief, checking the facial features of the photo and the real person over and over again.

He rubbed his eyes, and when he wanted to take a step closer to confirm that it was the same person, his cell phone rang.

It was actually Lu Bingliang who called.A few days ago, he was dragged to a social event by this guy, causing him to rush back to the hotel and take a big bite of jealousy. He hasn't settled with this guy yet.

Gritting his teeth, he answered the phone: "You want to invite me to dinner? No, unless you bribe me with Lafite."

Lu Bingliang laughed loudly: "No problem, but I have a request, you have to bring Chen Liang."

Qiu Hanyu looked at Chen Liang who was busy, and asked: "When are you free, someone wants to treat us to abalone wing belly."

Chen Liang thought for a while and replied: "Tomorrow night."

"Have you heard that, the gentlemen will only be free tomorrow night," Qiu Hanyu replied shyly, "Please attend, gentlemen, there are two bottles of Lafite."

"No problem, no problem, tomorrow night at my restaurant, waiting for you."

Qiu Hanyu brought Chen Liang to this high-end restaurant again, and Lu Bingliang was already waiting in front of the door.

After the restaurant opened, Qiu Hanyu invited friends to come several times one after another. Although he couldn’t taste the taste, according to his friends’ feedback, the food tasted very good, so the restaurant’s business was very hot. After get off work hours, it was full. , People who come late have to wait in line.

But today, for some reason, the restaurant was terribly deserted, the guests were few and far between, the hall was not full, and the boxes were even empty. The environment that was usually crowded with people was now so quiet that one could hear the sound of tea being poured.

Qiu Hanyu keenly noticed something was wrong, and asked in a low voice while walking, "What's going on?"

Lu Bingliang's smile froze, and he welcomed the two of them into the box. After pouring the wine, he sat down and sighed deeply: "Our chef has been poached, and our business has plummeted."

Qiu Hanyu gasped: "Your restaurant has only been open for a long time, why was the chef hired away? Is it because you have a black heart and maliciously deducted other people's wages."

Lu Bingliang rolled his eyes at him: "Am I like that kind of person?" He sighed, "I offered a better salary, but he still insisted on leaving, even willing to pay liquidated damages, I couldn't keep him at all. "

"The reason?" Qiu Hanyu put away his hippie smile and said seriously, "This is not normal."

Lu Bingliang took a sip of his wine and sighed, "Have you heard of Jiuhua Company?"

"Of course, it is a real estate company in this city that can keep pace with our company."

"Recently, the boss of this company has opened several affiliated companies, one of which is engaged in restaurants and hotels. A large piece of land near your head office was bought last year, and the hotel and shopping malls were built in less than a year. Circle, it will open soon, do you know about this?" Lu Bingliang saw Qiu Hanyu nodding, and continued, "That is made by Jiuhua's affiliated company, alas, it is actually the property of Jiuhua Company. I The chef was poached by Jiuhua Company. It is said that Jiuhua used to be a family business developed abroad. Later, when the foreign market was depressed, he returned to China to develop. Unexpectedly, the development was better than before, and the company became stronger and stronger. They The boss is very capable, he doesn’t know how to suppress and annex many competitors, and he also likes to poach talents. It is said that as long as he wants to poach people, he can’t poach them. Look, my chef is an example.”

Qiu Hanyu had heard of the name of Jiuhua Company, but since it was a company engaged in real estate projects before, he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect it to be similar in nature to Wenda Company.If it is as Lu Bingliang said, Jiuhua Company will be a big competitor.

"I invited you to dinner because I want to remind you," Lu Bingliang lightly clinked glasses with Qiu Hanyu, patted Qiu Hanyu's shoulder, and said solemnly, "Be careful of this company playing tricks and poaching your talents."

Qiu Hanyu looked at Chen Liang subconsciously, Chen Liang was drinking tea with his head down, he didn't know if he heard it or not.He was more afraid of losing Chen Liang than worrying about the company's brain drain. After Chen Liang, he tried many chefs' skills, but the strange thing was that none of the dishes made by one person could stimulate his taste.For him, Chen Liang is the only existence, now Chen Liang has become his royal chef, let Chen Liang cook three meals a day.Without Chen Liang, his world would return to the bland darkness.

"What are your plans now?" Qiu Hanyu asked.

"I hired another chef, but as you can see, the cooking skills are far inferior to the chef who was poached." Lu Bingliang shook his head regretfully, "I will ask another chef to take a look when I see it. If the business can no longer be saved, I will transfer the restaurant and do something else."

"Chen Liang," Qiu Hanyu turned to Chen Liang, and said seriously, "Can you help me?"

The two people who are familiar with each other know what each other means without saying much. Chen Liang nodded, just in time for the waiter to serve a plate of palace rabbit meat. He smelled the aroma of the vegetables, and stirred them with the serving chopsticks to check the amount of ingredients. After knowing it, I picked up a piece of rabbit meat and ate it, chewed it carefully, and then asked the waiter to take a pen and paper to record my experience.

Lu Bingliang was ecstatic, as if grasping the dawn of hope, he asked the chef to cook a little of every dish for Chen Liang to taste.After Chen Liang tasted it last time, the former head chef improved it according to Chen Liang's experience, and the taste was much better than before. It can be seen that asking Chen Liang to help, the effect is quite good.

After a meal, Chen Liang gave his valuable advice. Lu Bingliang held the handwritten paper and thanked Chen Liang excitedly for his help. Chen Liang smiled and said that you are welcome, and thanked Lu Bingliang for inviting them to drink and eat , Lu Bingliang laughed loudly, and said that if the situation was reversed, he would definitely treat them to a big meal.

After saying goodbye to Lu Bingliang, on the way home, Chen Liang suddenly made a request.
