In the silent place

When Bai Yutang arrived at the Haicheng Hotel, except for the eldest brother Lu Fang and his sister-in-law, the other brothers had already chatted in the reserved private room.The second brother Han Zhang and his brothers haven't seen each other for almost a year. He, who doesn't talk much, is very happy today. He chatted with his brothers very happily. When he saw the fifth brother Bai Yutang, he came forward and gave him a bear hug. The third elder brother Xu Qing laughed heartily with joy.Bai Yutang sat down beside his fourth brother Jiang Ping.Jiang Ping and Xu Qing's straightforwardness is the opposite. He is the most intelligent among the brothers. Although he loves to tease Bai Yutang most of the time, his love for Bai Yutang is no less than that of any other brother.

After more than ten minutes, the eldest brother and sister-in-law came with their son.Lu Zhen, who was just over five years old, just entered the door, and rushed over to hug Bai Yutang's thigh with a jerk. "Uncle Wu, last time you said you wanted to teach me how to fly a model airplane, when will you have time?"

Bai Yutang patted Lu Zhen's head: "The model airplane is in Uncle Fifth's car, and I'll take you to get it after dinner."

"Really?" Lu Zhen looked up at Bai Yutang with joy in her eyes.

"I'm lying to you, let your dad buy it for you."

When Lu Zhen heard it, her mouth pouted and Lao Gao flicked her little arm, complaining in a crying voice: "You promised to buy it for me as a New Year's gift. Uncle Wu is a liar!"

When Bai Yutang saw that his little nephew was about to cry, he hugged him into his lap. "When did Uncle Wu lie to you, just to tease you. I bought the model plane a long time ago, and Uncle Wu brought it to you." He pointed to the corner of the room. "But Uncle Wu has been quite busy recently. When you get home, ask your dad to teach you how to play first. When Uncle Wu is free, he will take you to the park to let him fly."

Lu Zhen hadn't cried just now, but when Bai Yutang finished speaking, tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Why are you crying, a man. Turn back and third uncle will teach you how to wrestle, and I promise that no one will dare to bully you in the future." Xu Qing's loud voice was especially effective at this time, and it immediately attracted Lu Zhen's attention.

Lu Fang ordered two bottles of white wine with the waiter, and said to his brothers, "It's been a long time since we brothers have made it together. Let's open it up and drink it today. Come here as you like. Second child, come, let's have a drink." As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and had a toast with Han Zhang. "What do you think about what I said?"

Before Han Zhang could answer, Xu Qing lost his temper and turned to ask, "Brother, what are you talking about with your second brother? What's the matter? Keep it secret."

"It just so happens that my brothers are all here today, and I just wanted to talk to you. My brother said that Muguan Films is just recruiting people, and asked me if I would like to try it." Han Zhang put down his glass and said.

Just as Jiang Ping wanted to pick up some food, he immediately put down his chopsticks and patted the table happily. "Second brother, this is a good thing. If you can come here to work, the brothers will usually have someone to take care of you. The eldest brother often talks about you, and he is only thinking about how to get you back."

"This opportunity is not bad. It just happened to recruit for the promotional planning of film and television dramas that I have been engaged in. I decided to go back and try my luck."

"Second brother, come on, little brother wishes you success soon." Bai Yutang picked up a glass of wine and toasted it neatly first.

"Come on, come on, you brothers, don't just drink too much, but also order food." Min Xiuxiu reminded the brothers while picking up food for her son.

The brothers ate and drank well, and they chatted until after 11 o'clock before leaving the restaurant.Lu Fang's family and Bai Yutang came by car, and the rest of them took taxis.Han Zhang lived in Xu Qing's house, Jiang Ping had a bad stomach, and never drank alcohol. Seeing that Bai Yutang drank a lot, and it was snowing and slippery at night, he was afraid that something would happen to him, so he decided to go to his house with Bai Yutang tonight for a night of help.The group divided into three groups, and after saying goodbye, they prepared to return to their respective homes.

It was still snowing heavily, and when Bai Yutang and Jiang Ping walked to the parking lot, a small layer of snow had already accumulated on the car.

"Let me drive." Jiang Ping said.

Bai Yutang took out the key and threw it to Jiang Ping, then walked to the passenger door of the car. "Fourth brother, I'm not drunk."

"I know." Jiang Ping opened the car door, shook off the snowflakes on his body, and got into the car.

Bai Yutang drank a lot, but he was not drunk.He has always been good at drinking, and he rarely gets drunk. I remember only one time, after Zhan Zhao left without saying goodbye, he dragged Jiang Ping out in the middle of the night.Since then, Jiang Ping has gotten closer to him than the other brothers, and the fourth brother is the only one who knows the secret in his heart.

On a winter night, there was no one on the street, and there were not many vehicles. The two of them were silent all the way, and they arrived at Bai Yutang's apartment not long after.

"Fourth brother, Zhan Zhao is back." Bai Yutang said softly when he was standing in front of the door and inserting the key into the lock, Jiang Ping behind him didn't make a sound.

The two walked through the door and came to the living room. Bai Yutang took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, half lying down on the rocking chair in front of the French window.Jiang Ping sat on the sofa opposite the TV, looked at the slightly decadent Bai Yutang, and sighed helplessly.Back then, although he was not optimistic about the relationship between Bai Yutang and Su Hong, he was still taken aback when Bai Yutang told him that the two had broken up.Half a year later, what shocked him even more was that the fifth younger brother, who had always been arrogant and aggressive, actually got drunk for a man in the middle of the night.He had never seen Bai Yutang so sad, and he loved and hated the same person so much.

"Have you seen him?" Jiang Ping asked.

"En." Bai Yutang stood up from the rocking chair, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the coffee table and handed it to Jiang Ping, and then took one himself and put it in his mouth.Knowing that Bai Yutang never smoked in the house, Jiang Ping stood up and walked to the balcony with him.

The windows on the balcony were sealed, and there was still a bone-chilling chill.Bai Yutang propped his elbows on the window sill of the balcony, and the smoke he exhaled was sprayed on the glass, changing from thick to light, and slowly dissipating.

"Fifth brother, forget about him." Jiang Ping said suddenly, his voice seemed a bit abrupt in the cold night. "He made it very clear to you that way back then, why are you still thinking about him so hard?"

"Fourth brother, you don't understand."

Jiang Ping was so choked that he couldn't speak.Yes, he does not understand.Bai Yutang has never been short of women who flirt with him, but he will always resolutely push them away and keep a safe distance.It seems that his emotions have been exhausted on Zhan Zhao's body, and he has no energy left to take a look at the scenery around him.

"Then what are you going to do? You've spent four years on him, isn't it enough?" Jiang Ping was a little excited as he spoke. As the saying goes, the authorities are in the dark, but the bystanders are the clearer. He wished he could knock Bai Yutang awake with a hammer. "I don't understand what's so good about this Zhan Zhao? He's so unfeeling towards you, has he ever thought of you? Fifth brother, wake up."

Bai Yutang took a deep puff of the cigarette, and the red sparks spread to his fingertips little by little.He reached out and shook the ashtray, and the gray-black ash scattered with sparks. "I understand what you said, fourth brother. But Zhan Zhao, he is different."

It's always good not to get something, Jiang Ping thinks that Bai Yutang got into such a dead end.Since he was a child, his fifth younger brother has been particularly outstanding, whether it is family or personal, he is envied and envied by others.Having grown up so old, he has basically never experienced the feeling of failure, and it is no wonder that he has never forgotten such a big stumble on Zhan Zhao alone.Maybe when he really got it, he gave up.When Jiang Ping thought about it, his heart suddenly became brighter, and the bad habits that usually harm others couldn't help rushing into his brain. "You love saint, so sad?! It's a man who straightens his waist. Don't you forget it? If you can't forget it, you chase after it. You smash your head and don't look back when you hit the south wall. It's the realm." As he spoke, he did not forget to give Bai Yutang a high five on the back.

Jiang Ping made this turn so fast that Bai Yutang couldn't keep up with his train of thought for a while. "Fourth brother, what are you talking about?"

"I said it was a man, so chase after me. Go forward bravely, understand?" He also imitated the traffic police and made a gesture of moving forward.

Bai Yutang froze for a moment, then smiled.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth first, and the smile slowly spread to the whole face, until finally he grabbed Jiang Ping's shoulder and laughed out loud without restraint. "Fourth brother, you are a talent, you are really a talent." Then he laughed heartily.He is not a person who likes to be entangled, but he can never forget Zhan Zhao.Jiang Ping's words seemed to enlighten him, making his heart light up, all the knots in his heart were immediately resolved, and the depression just now was also swept away.

"Are you playing brother? Do you really want to chase? You are not afraid of others..."

"Fourth brother, I don't think about emotional matters anymore. I just need to treat him well, isn't that enough?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ping's heart moved, and looking at Bai Yutang's radiant face, he suddenly realized that Bai Yutang's affection was beyond his imagination.Although he still couldn't understand the relationship between the two men, he was deeply moved seeing Bai Yutang say these words so seriously.He gave Bai Yutang a thumbs up sincerely. "Fifth brother, brother convinced you this time, you are a real man."

The two brothers laughed together, put out the cigarette, closed the French windows on the balcony, went back to the house to take a shower and sleep.

Tomorrow, everything will be fine.

In the early morning, Zhan Zhao rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the curtains. There was a thick layer of frost on the glass window. He reached out and wiped the window lightly a few times, his fingertips felt cool.The world outside is white, covered in silver, and extremely beautiful.The drowsiness and drowsiness suddenly flew to the sky, he quickly put on his coat, and ran out without even taking a shower.

"Hey, Xiao Zhao, it's cold outside, what are you doing here?" Liu Rong shouted.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'll just stand at the door to catch my breath." Zhan Zhao just left the words and rushed out.

"This child... hey..." Liu Rong's helpless tone was mixed with pampering and distress that could not be concealed.

My aunt's house is on the third floor, Zhan Zhao trotted downstairs.The snow has stopped, and there is a thick layer of snow on the ground, which is five or six centimeters high.Taking a deep breath, the refreshing breath immediately filled his whole body. He carefully stepped over the low guardrail and walked back and forth on a piece of clean snow.Looking at the footprints he had stepped on, the corner of his mouth curled up, revealing a mischievous smile.

When they got home, Jiang Yewan also got up, and Liu Rong was preparing breakfast.He took off his coat, ran into the bathroom, washed his face and brushed his teeth. After washing, he looked in the mirror and grinned, no bloodshot eyes, very good.He made a V in his heart, and walked into the living room with a smile.

"Why did you get up so early?" Jiang Yewan was still wearing thick pajamas, sitting on the sofa and reading yesterday's newspaper.

"If you wake up, you won't be able to sleep."

"Breakfast is ready." Hearing Liu Rong's shout, the two got up and went to the dining room together.

"He, he ran outside as soon as he got up, he is so big, he still looks like a child." Liu Rong handed his wife a pair of chopsticks, and put a few pieces of fermented bean curd in a small plate.

"Xiao Zhao has never seen snow, has he?" Jiang Yewan said, biting a steamed bun.

"Well, this is the first time I've seen you."

"You young people, you are good. Everything you see is new. When we are our age and see snow again, we should have a headache." Jiang Yewan sighed with emotion.

Liu Rong rolled her eyes at her wife. "You are just lazy. Don't you usually chop well with a kitchen knife? If you are asked to go out and help sweep the snow, it will start to hurt."

Zhan Zhao didn't help anyone, just gnawed on steamed buns with a grin.

When Jiang Dong got up, the old couple finished their breakfast, rested, and were about to go downstairs to clear the snow at the entrance of the building. "My parents really deserve the title of Five Good Neighbors."

"You are a poor talker, you will play tricks all day long." Liu Rong put on thick gloves, took a shovel each with her wife, and went downstairs to start work.

"It's great that aunt and uncle are like this." Zhan Zhao looked downstairs through the window, envious in his tone.

"Well, you'll know when you're old. If there's someone around this man who can't stop nagging like my mother all day long, you'll have to worry about death."

Zhan Zhao burst out laughing. "If you say that to my aunt, be careful that she hears her, and she will nag you to death!"

"You don't know, I have been in the sea of ​​suffering for 30 years." Jiang Dong made a painful expression, scratching and scratching in the air with his two paws.

Zhan Zhao was tired from scratching, so he walked back and sat on the sofa.After Jiang Dong washed up, he walked over and sat down next to him, with his feet resting on the coffee table.

"Is Gao Yue's mother okay?"

"It's okay. I'm old and my bones are brittle. It'll be fine after a while." When Jiang Dong came back last night, the family members were all asleep.I didn't even have time to chat with Zhan Zhao. "By the way, what about the newly bought mobile phone, show me what it looks like."

Zhan Zhao went back to his room, took his mobile phone from the bedside table and ran back to show Jiang Dong.Jiang Dong took a look, pulled Zhan Zhao beside him to look at him, and thought to himself, Bai Yutang, Bai Yutang, what enmity do you have with my cousin, why did you bring him to buy such a 'broken' mobile phone!

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao asked, feeling uncomfortable from being stared at.

"No, it's pretty good. Cousin, you have enough personality." Jiang Dong gave Zhan Zhao a thumbs up, and smirked for a while.

The author has something to say: I have been a fan of Rats and Cats for three years, and today I see someone saying that I hate Rats and Cats to write this article, I feel really ridiculous.

It's really vicious to talk about harming rats and cats like this.Even this kind of rhetoric is deducted.

If you have opinions on the text, you can raise them. Is there any need for such sarcasm?

In addition, I never work hard on things I hate, I only spend time and energy on people I like and HC.

Whether I love rats or cats, I know in my heart.
