ruthless here

The first snow of winter fell very sparingly.

Brother Qiang, who is a man from the Northeast, despised such a snowy day. He said that he didn't wash his hair for two days, and his dandruff could be bigger than this snow.But I think he's exaggerating too much.

The snow melts when it hits the ground, but the cooling is real.Brother Qiang and I ran upstairs all the way after smoking our cigarettes, and we were both as cold as grandchildren.When entering the room, Hao Meng was talking to Xiao Zhang about the snow boots she bought last week, saying that the times are different now, and boys can wear them very trendy.

"Sister Meng, do you think I look like someone who is afraid of tides?" Xiao Zhang said earnestly while typing on the computer, "I'm poor!"

I just wanted to tell him that if I persisted, it would be the end of the year, but I heard Song Mingyu yelling over there, "When will this year's heating subsidy be issued? Why can't I find my email!"

"It's next month, I'm in a hurry."

I forwarded the email to him casually, then closed the computer and prepared to go to the meeting, and the few of them also packed their things in a hurry and went out together.

It's so cold.

Since that day, Yang Congbai and I have had no contact for a week.I ran into him once when I was taking Yoyo to the kindergarten in the morning. He nodded to me as a greeting, and he behaved politely and politely, impeccably.

Fortunately, the heating will start this week.

As I was walking, I looked at the puddles under my feet, thinking about heating bills and utilities, when I suddenly heard Hao Meng shout, "Hey? Doctor Yang!"

I slipped on the sole of my foot and almost fell.Fortunately, Brother Qiang quickly helped me, "What are you doing, Manager Yu, do you want to change your computer?"

He was wearing a big white coat and looked very thin, out of tune with today's temperature.

"You are..."

"Go to a meeting!" Hao Meng's sharp eyes said, "Doctor Yang, what are you holding in your hand?"

He was holding a paper bag in his hand. The logo on it was so conspicuous that I could understand it at a glance.Yesterday, Bai Youyou lost a glove in the kindergarten. When I went to pick him up at night, I searched for it for a long time, until the last kid was picked up and couldn't find it.

Probably Coco or Aunt Fang went back and told him.

"I heard Yoyo lost a glove."

After a moment of silence, Brother Qiang suddenly slapped me across the face, "Manager Yu, why did you lose Yoyo's gloves?"

Hao Meng also condemned me, "That's right, you're too careless!"

Song Mingyu also said, "Brother Yu, you are wrong!"

Xiao Zhang suppressed his laughter abruptly.

I'm embarrassed as hell.

I can see that Yang Congbai is more embarrassed than me.

"I bought this for a friend's child last year. I didn't send it out when I found it wasn't the right size. If it fits..."

"I'm going to a meeting."

He shut up knowingly, but stood still and refused to leave.

Brother Qiang was overjoyed, and poked me with his arm, "Doctor Yang show us what it looks like, it's quite expensive, right?"

He hesitated for a moment, but actually took out the gloves.Hao Meng yelled "Aww", "Doctor Yang, you are lying! You bought this year's new model last year? I saw this when I went shopping for shoes two days ago!"

Hold……

Brother Qiang and the others were coughing and holding back their laughter. Yang Congbai's face showed the embarrassment of being exposed on the spot. He probably had little experience in such scenes and seemed at a loss.

But he still smiled kindly.

But I can't laugh at all.

There was a bit of agreement in that smile, and even a bit of fawning taste.

He stuffed the gloves back into his pockets, as if he didn't know where to look.

So stupid.

I hate iron but not steel.If you can't tell a lie, don't tell it!Do you think everyone is as easy to deceive as I am? !

"Let's go, let's blame Uncle Ding for being late!"

As soon as Song Mingyu yelled, the other three ran away.I really wanted to leave too, but Yang Congbai was still standing here stupidly, he was really... really stupid.

"... Then I can't carry it to the meeting, can I?"

I do good deeds every day and give him a step down.

"You don't pick a time when you come here."

He really relaxed, "I forgot that you have a regular meeting at this time. Then I will send it to you later."

"No need!" I don't want to be watched anymore, "...I'll go find you when I have time."

He was about to leave, but when he heard me say that, he stopped again.

"You're not coming for me, are you?"

After finishing speaking, he really left.

"..."

Self righteous guy.

I really shouldn't talk to him.

I made up my mind to compete with Yang Congbai, and I went to him as soon as the meeting was over.It's a pity that Yang Congbai went to the meeting this time, leaving me in vain.

Su Zhe smiled when he saw me, "You came quite quickly."

"..."

He took out the paper bag from the cabinet and handed it to me in the corridor, "Junior brother really loves me."

Heh, I sneered in my heart, these two people are really shameless.

"A few hundred this time?"

"Don't mention it. He was so angry with you last time, how dare he bet with me?"

Hearing what Su Zhe said, I was terrified, "Then what are you betting on now?"

"Don't be nervous, I'll just ask him to do a little favor."

I was full of suspicion, "What can I do for you?"

Su Zhe said he was going to the convenience store, he went back to get a coat, and went downstairs with me.I asked him what he was up to, "You asked Yang Congbai to help, so there is no need to bet?"

"Generally speaking, it is not necessary."

"What's so unusual?"

"Why do you ask so many questions? I won't harm him."

"I'm curious, okay?"

"You ask him."

"I don't know him well."

Su Zhe laughed when he heard it.

"Oh, I beg you, you are my dear senior brother!" I was so disgusted, "Which onion is Yang Congbai compared to you? You are the closest and love me the most! You can do it Well tell me!"

"You."

Su Zhe shook his head with a smile, but he let go, "I have a bad year, and I used up the quota saved last year."

"What quota?"

Before Su Zhe could speak, we stopped when we heard someone call "Teacher Su".

A very beautiful girl ran up to us.

She looked at me, then at Su Zhe.Those eyes were too frank. When she looked at Su Zhe, her eyes twinkled, as if she could fly out of the stars.

I understood it all at once.

"Mr. Su, is it convenient for you to speak now?"

"You say it."

"My internship report..."

"Oh," Su Zhe interrupted her, "I'm a little busy these two days, so I don't have time to read it, but I will ask Yang Congbai to sign it for you."

When the girl heard it, all the stars in her eyes went out.

"Ah? For Mr. Yang... Then, shall I change my career?"

"Of course." Su Zhe had an amiable face, and looked very good as a teacher, "It's on my desk, you can go back and get it yourself."

The girl slipped away as if she had been pardoned.

Seeing a heart broken all over the place, I couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic, "It's true!" I patted Su Zhe on the shoulder, "Tell me! What's going on?"

Su Zhe smiled, "Let me borrow your Yang Congbai to block."

"What my..."

"The love writing is really not as good as one session."

Now I can't even care about who Yang Congbai belongs to. I laughed so hard that my computer almost fell to the ground.

"You're too mean, aren't you?! He's full of love, and you're still making judgments here!"

Su Zhe also laughed, but he smiled tolerantly, but he did not accept my condemnation.

"I haven't done anything that would be misunderstood. What's the difference between giving me a piece of paper for no reason and giving me a piece of burnable garbage?"

Yes, this is really Suzhe.

But he also said, "Isn't this very good, no one will lose anything except Yang Congbai who reads one more internship report."

Damn, he's pretty good at calling people!

But what he said is right, there is no need to even say the rejection, both parties can pretend that it never happened, it is really considerate.

"You are quite capable!"

"Concession and concession." Su Zhe said generously, "Yang Congbai still has more ways to deal with it. He has been tried and tested for many years."

"...So you and Yang Congbai blocked each other's guns?"

"Yes," Su Zhe said quite appreciatively, "You have to thank me. If I hadn't blocked it well, your Yang Congbai might not have been able to keep you until now."

"Damn! Don't own yours!..."

He pointed to the paper bag in my hand and ignored my resistance, "I told you that you would definitely come, but he still didn't believe it. If you want me to say that he's smart, you should at least give him a [-]% discount. Buy a car today, To buy a house tomorrow, I won’t do anything but spend money.”

Who said no!

"...He bought a house?"

"Oh," Su Zhe suddenly realized, as if he knew he had slipped up, "He didn't tell you."

"..."

"He bought a small set, which is next to my house. Maybe he wants to take care of me when I die alone in the future."

"..."

Yang Congbai.

What is going on in his mind all day long? !

I insinuated from Su Zhe that Yang Congbai's newly bought house was a two-bedroom, one-living room, hardcover ready-made house, the kind that could be moved in at any time.

"Even the parking space is bought."

I felt very uncomfortable hearing it.

Two bedrooms and one living room, compared with his current mansion, it is too far behind.

He's clearly not meant for kids.

Although Su Zhe said that he would die alone, although it sounded like a joke, maybe he really thought so.

I even bought it next to Su Zhe's house, what is it all about...

After receiving the new gloves, Yoyo liked it so much, she wore them for a long time at night and had a video video with Yang Congbai, and she almost went to sleep with her arms around her.

The gloves are white and fluffy, let alone a child, I feel cute when I look at them.

I secretly checked the price on the Internet... No wonder Hao Meng made such a noise, anyway, I am definitely reluctant to spend that money.

And how to wash this thing? !It's expensive to send it outside for a wash, right?

He doesn't even think about me.

Blindly buy things.

And that house...

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, I picked up my phone and sent him a message, "Gloves are too expensive, I can't afford to wash them if you bought them so expensive, I'd better return them to you."

I waited for a long time before he replied, "Then Yoyo will cry."

...really making excuses.

"You can't see it anyway."

"I'll cry too."

……shameless.

I want to take revenge on him, but I can't tell what exactly I want to take revenge on him, "Anyway, I can't see it."

He didn't reply me again.

The heating in the district will be opened this weekend.

I took Youyou back from Yu Fan's house for dinner, and when I went upstairs, I saw Xiao Qing's message in the group, saying that the wedding date was set at the end of January.

I was surprised that it was the coldest time.

"Aren't you in a hurry? You have already booked the venue?"

"What do you think? The venue is super hard to decide! None of the auspicious days chosen by their family have a suitable venue. Guess what? A couple of newlyweds just happened to get divorced! I said, what are you waiting for? It's ours!"

"..."

I was still thinking about how to comment, but Zimo had already skillfully handed over the dog leg, "Senior sister is really lucky!"

"Isn't it?! Originally, Yao Ruochen was still reluctant. He felt that he had wasted the auspicious day he had chosen. I taught him that man is not as good as God, and this is God's fortune!"

This time I also followed, "That's right, God's will cannot be violated!"

"But I'm really in a hurry!" Zimo said, "I don't have time to lose weight!"

"Hey, you're already very 'affected'!"

I almost laughed my head off.

Xiao Qing added, "The groom is just like that, and the groomsmen shouldn't be too handsome!"

Zi Mo refused to accept, "I am not the best man for his groom!"

"Oh? Then you want to be my bridesmaid?"

Yoyo was very curious, "Dad, what are you laughing at?"

"Ah? Nothing..."

I pulled out my keys, opened the door, and was completely dumbfounded.

The heating leaked, and the house was flooded with water.

I pouted my buttocks and cleaned up until midnight.

Yoyo volunteered to help, but I refused and sent him to bed early.I was afraid that he would be cold, so I turned up the air conditioner, but he thought it was noisy; when I turned it down a little, he said it was cold.I put the down jacket on the quilt for him, and let him bear it.

"Dad, it's so heavy..."

"Be obedient, wait until the water dries up."

"When will the water dry?"

"...in two days."

In fact, I do not know.

There was so much dust outside that I dared not open the window.I hope it didn't seep downstairs, and I hope the floor is fine, otherwise it's really hard to say who will pay for the money.Obviously there was no problem when I tested the water, but the plumbing in this old house is too fragile, right? !

I can only blame myself.

If I could find a better house at the beginning, it wouldn't make Yoyo and me suffer.

I want to ask the landlord how to fix the heating, can I find someone to fix it myself, or how can I live here?Picking up the phone, there was a missed call from Yang Congbai.He asked me to take Yoyo to get a flu shot yesterday, but I ignored him.Well, this time he hit the gunpoint, like bringing warmth to the poor every day, is he annoying?

I just called him back.

"...Yu Fei?"

"..."

It seemed to wake him up.

I was going to be aggressive, but his sleepy voice sounded really innocent.

"...You go to sleep, I will take him to get the vaccine next week, and I will tell you when the time comes."

"what happened to you?"

"what?"

"Why did you call me in the middle of the night?"

"..."

Maybe it was because the night was too late, maybe his voice was too concerned, I clutched my phone, and didn't know how to speak for a long time.

"Nothing."

There was a moment of silence over there, "It's nothing, you just don't want me to sleep, do you?"

I was amused by him.

"hurry up."

He urges me.

Well, otherwise I probably won't be able to sleep.

"The heating in the house is leaking, and the floor is soaked. I just finished cleaning up here..."

This time he was happy.

"You gloat, you?!"

"I'll go take a look."

"No, I'll find someone to fix it tomorrow."

"Then I'll go there tomorrow."

"It's really not necessary."

"Then when do you want me to come over?"

I became impatient, "Are you finished? I told you not to come here!"

But he persisted, "Then you call me in the middle of the night."

"..."

I was speechless, but he didn't make any progress, "Then I'll pick up Yoyo tomorrow morning. You can fix the heating in your house, so you can't leave Yoyo with no place to stay, right?"

"..."

This is true.

"Okay, you go to bed early. Be careful not to freeze."

As if I wanted to compete with him, I immediately hung up the phone.

The "early morning" that Yang Congbai said was really very early.I was still preparing breakfast for Yoyo when Keke knocked on the door.After waking up, Yoyo said that his throat was uncomfortable. I guess it was because the air conditioner was turned on all night.

Just in time, a doctor came to the door.

Yang Congbai decently asked Yoyo to open his mouth and "ah" to show him, and then he patted his little butt to reassure him that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Just drink more water."

After hearing this, Yoyo hurriedly pushed away the milk and said he wanted boiled water, so I had to boil it for him.The water was boiled and then mixed with cold water, so as not to scald his mouth. It didn't stop until he drank it.

He really listened to Yang Congbai's words, and he didn't know who he learned from.

The house was in a mess, and there was really no place to set her feet. I put Ke Ke on the sofa in the living room and told her to sit obediently and not to walk around casually.She was sitting there playing games honestly, looking up at Yang Congbai from time to time, looking like she really wanted to leave quickly.

While we were having breakfast, Yang Congbai looked inside and out, cleaned up the trash, and said he would go out and take it away later.After dinner, I went back to the bedroom to pack things for Yoyo, Yang Congbai also followed.

Realizing I was alone in a space with him made me uncomfortable.

"You forgot at my house before."

He handed me a key.

That is not forgotten.

I took it off the keychain and placed it neatly on the coffee table.

We were deadlocked for a few seconds, forget it, my lord has a lot, it's not worth noting him.

Since he said I forgot, then I forgot.

I took the key and put it in my trouser pocket.

"You take Yoyo to move here."

"..."

There was a big question mark in my head.

Did he not wake up, or did I not wake up?

No one is dreaming, right?

He probably also knew that he was talking nonsense, so he took a small step back, "Or you can move back after the floor is dry..."

"..."

It's really not ordinary for him to contradict his promise.

Seeing that I didn't speak, he began to mutter again, "Adults can do it, but children have weak resistance, and now it's time for a change of season..."

"It's not as delicate as you said."

"You should think about it for Yoyo."

Which pot he didn't open and which pot he lifted hit my sore spot.

"Why don't I think about him? I went to buy a lottery ticket yesterday. If I win [-] million, I don't have to wrong him."

"..." He lowered his head and wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh, "You know that's not what I meant."

Of course I know.

He just thought it would be easiest and most effective to use Yoyo to convince me.

He stopped arguing with me, took the water bottle in my hand, and put it in Yoyo's schoolbag.

"I'll take them back first, come here when you're done with your work."

I don't want to talk to him.

"...Bring all the things you usually use, so you don't have to run back and forth again."

"..."

I have to admit that Yang Congbai is self-righteous, self-talking, and self-assessing ability is very high.

He told the little ghosts that it's too cold here, and it's easy to get sick if you live like this, so "we discussed it, and Yoyo and Uncle Yu moved in with us first."

Ke Ke became energetic as soon as she heard it, she jumped off the sofa and dragged Yoyo to leave, but Yoyo still had doubts.

Because I didn't speak.

Yang Congbai squatted down to coax him, "Father and uncle have discussed it, so go and change quickly."

"dad……"

Yoyo looked back at me hesitantly.

It's okay, it's my good son, that's right.

Yang Congbai also looked at me, his intention couldn't be more obvious.

"...be obedient," I patted Yoyo's head, "Dad has to wait for someone to fix the heating, Yoyo will go home with Uncle and Coco first."

This time Yoyo nodded.

I repeatedly assured Yoyo that I would go there as soon as possible, so he followed Yang Congbai out with confidence.

Although the house is not strong, the landlord is very nice.He said he was out of town and asked me to settle the money with him. He also said that there was no need to worry about the floor and furniture, which were quite old anyway.

After tossing and tossing was over, it was already afternoon, I cleaned up briefly, and started to pack my things to go to Yang Congbai's.I first took a travel bag, but there were too many children's things, so I had to replace it with a suitcase.Halfway through the pretense, I began to hesitate again, fearing that Yang Congbai would mistakenly think that I was staying for a long time when he saw me carrying so many things.

What is this?

I thought over and over of what he said to me that day, although I had thought about it many times; I thought over and over of what he said to me today, as if they were all serious and sincere.

"I'll cry too."

Maybe he also has weaknesses where I can't see them.

I looked at the half-filled box, not knowing whether to pick it up or put it down.

The phone rang, and it was Yang Congbai calling.

"Have you packed yet?"

"almost."

"So, when are you coming?"

"..."

He is so anxious, is he afraid that I will give him my son?

"Bring some more clothes for Yoyo when you come."

"I know."

He paused for a moment, as if after struggling in his heart, he finally decided to turn himself in to me, "Yuyou accidentally stained his pants while eating ice cream, I don't want to go to my brother's..."

I was anxious, "He has a sore throat, why are you still giving him ice cream?!"

He even argued with me in a low voice, "Then he said he wanted to eat it, he really wanted it. Then I can't help it..."

"……you?!"

I'm about to be pissed off by him.

"Come here quickly." He tried to change the subject, "Does this need to be dry-cleaned? Will it not be washed off?"

"Don't move! I'll pass right away!"

This idiot.

Do you only raise daughters but not sons?

After hanging up the phone, I quickly packed up my things, checked the water, electricity, gas, balcony refrigerator, and finally locked the doors and windows.

I stuffed the suitcase into the car and sat alone for a long time.

Yoyo and I are far from being cornered.

I knew in my heart that he took us in not just out of kindness, but for other reasons.

But so do I.

I'm afraid that I will never have a chance to get close to Coco again.
