Chapter 25 Brothers
"Are you full just now?" Liu Fengzhi asked Chang Dalong.
"What are you eating? I was sitting in a daze when I went over." Li Kai continued.
"Okay, mom is going to cook a bowl of noodles for you and lie two eggs." Liu Fengzhi got up and walked out.
"Mom, why don't I come and do it for Dalong, you can rest."
"This is the first meal when Dalong arrives at our house. Mom must be cooked. Your dad and I will not be able to do anything in the future. You have to take good care of Dalong."
Soon, a large bowl of steaming hot noodle noodles was prepared, with two poached eggs on it, which made you feel appetite.
"Mom, you eat one." Chang Dalong picked up a poached egg with chopsticks and held the bowl underneath.
"Mom doesn't eat it, you eat it, eat more, it's a big guy, he's too thin."
"Dad, you eat." Li Yan also followed in at this time.
"Dad doesn't eat it, so you can eat it quickly. Xiaokai, measure the size with me and see how to put it on the extra bed." Li Yan waved his hand and greeted Li Kai to do things.
"Dad, stop extra beds. The place is too small, and it is impossible to squeeze out even if you add extra beds." Li Kai said.
"Then you keep slept, that's not OK. You are not honest in your sleep, and the dragon cannot sleep well. Besides, they are all old and can barely make up their feet now. After a year or two, they will have to add more."
"I mean, just go to bed one floor after another on this bed and sleep on the upper and lower bunks."
"Boom and bottom bunk? Well... it's OK."
"Yes, it doesn't take up space, uses value for money, high-end, atmospheric and high-end, novel and fashionable, and trendy."
"Where did I learn so many words? OK, then I'll go to the factory tomorrow to get some materials and take time to follow them."
"The day after tomorrow, I will take Dalong to buy clothes tomorrow, so I can't help."
"I can do it myself without you helping me."
After Dalong finished eating the noodles, Li Kai took it to the water room to clean it. Li Yan and the others gave a few more instructions and went back to the big house.
Li Kai and the others went to the water room to wash, mixed warm water, washed their feet, and prepared to go to bed.
"Brother, I'll give it to you."
"What?"
Li Kai took the things handed over by Chang Dalong, which were the two red envelopes and 200 yuan. When he opened the red envelope, there was a blue hundred-dollar bill in the two red envelopes.
"Wow, my parents are generous enough to take action. You can get these two red envelopes, this is your private money, so I will collect them yourself. Let's take out these two hundred dollars and buy you clothes tomorrow."
"I can't use this much money...or... I'll give these two hundred to my parents, it's too much."
"Dalong, since you have come to this home, you must truly integrate into this home. You are the family of this home. We are relatives. Relatives care about you, love you, and feel sorry for you are sincere and from the heart. What you should do is to accept the care of your family for you with peace of mind, and then work hard to improve yourself and enrich yourself. If you have the ability in the future, then go back and repay your loved ones with care and love.
Don’t think about something useless, what’s embarrassing, what’s causing trouble, what’s spending too much money, you must know your kindness and rejection, which will make everyone feel at a loss and trouble. Because no one in this family treats you as an outsider, you can’t treat everyone as an outsider. We are a family."
"...Brother, I understand." Chang Dalong thought for a moment and said with some guilt.
"From the future, this drawer is for you. You can put your pocket money, small things you like, love letters to you by girls, etc...." Li Kai said while cleaning the drawer on the right head of the study table.
This drawer originally contained some debris, most of which were made or bought toys: a rifle made of bicycle chains, a water-energized gun made of rubber infusion tubes, a bamboo dragonfly made of wood, and a foreign piece, glass ball, playing cards, magnifying glass, and a tin frog...
"Tomorrow I will find a lock nose and nail it to you. There will be a small lock here for you to use. These things will be ours in the future, let's play together." Li Kai waved his hand magnanimously.
"No, brother, please keep it."
"You're welcome, we're ours."
Chang Dalong looked at the things displayed on the table and slowly stared at two large glass balls. These two glass balls were much larger than ordinary children often played with. The diameter was nearly three centimeters, and it was wrapped in light blue lotus, which was very exquisite and beautiful.
When Li Kai and the others played glass balls, Chang Dalong often watched, but never participated. There was no reason. He had no money to buy glass balls and didn't need to lend them to him. He was afraid that the collision would be damaged during the game and could not afford to pay. The news came home and could not be guaranteed and even beaten.
When Li Kai saw Chang Dalong staring at the glass ball, he handed the entire cardboard medicine box filled with glass balls to Chang Dalong, "Please put this in your drawer, and you will share it with me when you play in the future."
"Well, I can play glass balls with you in the future." Chang Dalong was stunned for a moment, took it, and then hugged it tightly in his arms.
"I'm not doing it anymore, so I'll do it today. Go to bed, eat soy milk and fried dough sticks tomorrow morning, and I have to get up early to buy it. My mother will go to day shift tomorrow."
The two piled things on the table, took off their coats and sweaters, and got into the bed together.
The two of them lay flat on the single bed. After a long time, Li Kai heard Chang Dalong say, "Brother, thank you, thank you for helping me."
Li Kai turned his head and touched Chang Dalong's hair, "You are my brother, you have always been, how could I not help you?"
Yes, the two of them have been brothers who have been young for thirty years in their previous lives. The cycle of reincarnation in this life is just confirming this relationship in advance.
When I was about thirty years old in my previous life, one day Li Kai joked and asked Chang Dalong, how did we become good brothers? When did it start, why did we get closer and closer, and it seemed that we were always together.
Chang Dalong said he couldn't remember it either, he only remembered that he had always been with Li Kai. Only by Li Kai could he feel safe.
Li Kai couldn't remember it clearly, and he fell forward hard, and could only recall that when he was about the third grade of elementary school, he had two small followers and a small tail around him. The small followers were Chen Wen and Chang Dalong, and the small tail was Jona.
The friendship established and laid out because of something is completely unimpressed, and it really seems that the friendship appears out of thin air.
So, if you really have fate, no matter whether you distinguish love or friendship, it may be because of your look, action or sentence, that can hit a point hidden in the depths of the other party, thereby opening up the link between fate collision and fusion. There is no reason. Just like now, brotherhood is opened again, which should be the continuation of fate in the past.
Li Kai easily helped Chang Dalong cover the corner of the quilt on his neck.
The two of them gradually entered a dream in this room, and the two of them in the opposite room were still muttering in a low voice.
"How can you do that kind of bed with bunks?" Liu Fengzhi asked.
"Yes, I sent his son to Ji University to school with Lao Zhang last year. I saw it in the student dormitory, but it was not very complicated. I measured the size tomorrow morning, processed the accessories in the workshop, welded the joints and drilled holes, and pulled them back and assembled them."
"Then you are a little more sturdy, the children are not sleeping honestly, and they always feel that they are not stable at the top and bottom bunks."
"How is it possible? Thousands of students from Jida sleep in that kind of bed. Can they still be unsafe? Don't worry, you absolutely do it."
"If you buy new materials from the factory, we don't need waste materials. We can't spend a lot of money, so we can rest assured."
"Okay, listen to you, then you have to get me some money in the morning. I may not have enough money."
"Okay... Lao Li, why do you think my son is so outstanding? He looks good, has a good academic performance, has a good personality, and is good to people, hehe."
"It's just your son? I'm not doing anything with me? My son is so outstanding because he follows me and has good genetics. He looks with me if he looks smart, keeps me smart, be righteous, be honest, be honest, be honest, be honest, be honest, be good, my son will definitely be excellent."
"Okay, I'll go to bed." Liu Fengzhi rolled her eyes to Li Yan.
After a while, he asked again, "You said, what kind of wife do you have to find for such an excellent son in the future?"
"You thought too early, my son was only fourteen years old. But I think it's enough as long as my son likes it. If the wife I find can be half kind, half hardworking, and one-third beautiful, it's even better. No matter how good it is, it's impossible to have it."
"If you cheat, you will say good things to coax me." Liu Fengzhi twisted her body reservedly, slowly covered her head with a quilt, and smiled "giggled".
"Sleep well, are you stupid? You want to suffocate yourself to death?"
...
In the early morning, the alarm rings and Li Kai and the others woke up at the same time.
It was still dark at six o'clock.
"You clean up the house, I'll go buy breakfast. Later, my parents get up and say to them." Li Kai told Chang Dalong.
"Uh-huh."
In this era, there are not so many styles of breakfast. Soy milk and fried dough sticks are the mainstream and dominate the breakfast industry. The stalls are all in a designated area outside the living area. They set up stalls at around 5 a.m. and they are all withdrawn at around 9 a.m.
It took half an hour to walk back and forth, and Li Kai jogged, which not only saved time and exercised. The price of 1990s was touching. Of course, this requires deducting the comparison factor of income. Fried noodles are one yuan and two yuan per catty, and no food coupons; tofu brain costs 2 cents per serving, soy milk costs 1 cent per serving. Li Kai bought one and a half pound of fried dough sticks, two soy milk, and two tofu brains.
Perhaps due to the cost and recognition, plastic convenience bags have not yet become popular at this time. Li Kai put the tofu brain in a large enamel jar with a lid, and then placed it in a hand-carrying basket made of plastic packaging tape; the fried dough sticks are wrapped in straw paper, and then tied a piece of straw paper rope to the waist. It should be placed on the enamel jar and covered with a layer of dry towel to keep it warm. Soy milk should be put in a thermos, especially in winter, there are no thermos pots now.
A total of two yuan and four yuan is enough for a family of four.
Li Kai walked back home quickly with the basket in his left hand and the thermos in his right hand.
When they arrived home, Li Yan and his wife had already gotten up and were washing in the water room. Chang Dalong had already packed up the beds of the two brothers, poured out the urine basin, and was carefully cleaning the floor of the big house.
