Although there were no customers in the early morning, the Red Maple Leaf Bar opened its doors early in the morning so that some of the early Arsenal brothers had a place to chat and drink tea, and even serve them breakfast.

The Red Maple Leaf Bar did not hire any waiters, except for Sister Li, who was arranged by Yang Yi, the monk was the manager in charge of running the bar. In the past, he always took care of everything, even trivial things such as hygiene, but since Sister Li arrived, many small things don't need him to worry about anymore, Sister Li will definitely do it properly, which invisibly makes him a lot easier.

For Sister Li, no one will have the heart to look down on or flirt with any brother who comes to the bar, this is the person arranged by Yang Yi, who dares to talk nonsense unless he doesn't want to die. In addition, Sister Li usually takes care of the brothers who come to the bar, cooks and cooks, serves tea and water, and will serve a bowl of hangover tea when she is drunk.

However, because the door opened too early today, Sister Li sat and chatted with the monk after completing some early morning cleaning work, and the two were more familiar with each other after a long time of getting along, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates became friends at the beginning, and they talked about each other without anything.

When the two had a casual chat, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the monk subconsciously looked over and found a half-old child standing at the door of the bar, and asked timidly, "Please...... Excuse me, is this the Red Maple Leaf Bar? Dry...... Is the godfather here? ”

The monk was stunned, got up and walked over. The child subconsciously took two steps back, after all, the monk was tall, even if his face was kind, he was still a little afraid of people.

"Kids, this is indeed the Red Maple Leaf Bar." The monk squatted down and tried to smile with his kindest smile and gentle voice: "But who is the godfather you are talking about?" Do you know his name? And what's your name? If I knew your godfather, I'd let him know. ”

Sister Li came over, looked the child up and down, and sighed softly: "Little friend, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" So be it! Whether your godfather is here or not, I'll go get you something to eat first! With that, he turned and went to the kitchen.

The child was dressed plainly and abnormally, an outdated adult jacket had several patches on it, stains in many places, a simple pair of coarse cloth pants underneath, also full of patches, and the mud after the rain was everywhere, a pair of shoes that could not be seen in the primary color did not even have shoelaces, and the whole person looked like a child in the disaster area.

Seeing that the monk was so kind, the child's fear in his heart subsided slightly, and he tilted his head and thought for a while before saying: "My name is Qi Fei, my godfather is called Yang Yi, and my father asked me to come to him!" ”

Hearing Yang Yi's name, the monk's face turned pale, and he hurriedly pulled Qi Fei into the bar, and said with a smile: "You sit down for a while, and I'll call your godfather right away!" ”

Yang Yi was still sleeping, and dimly heard the phone ringing, and immediately pulled the quilt to cover his head, trying to get rid of the ringtone, but the ringtone kept ringing in his ears like a ghost, and finally made him give in, and connected the phone: "No matter who you are, if you don't have something important, you will bear the consequences." ”

The monk on the other side of the phone smiled dryly and said, "Don't be angry, Commander, I didn't dare to disturb you so early, but I had no choice but to have a very important guest in the bar." ”

Yang Yi said impatiently: "Don't sell Guanzi, just talk about the theme, otherwise I will arrange for you to clean the toilet in the bar!" ”

The monk has always been the administrator of the bar, equivalent to the position of the manager, usually nothing big at all, and the daily work is just to accompany the brothers who come to the bar to drink, play billiards, and live a very comfortable life.

immediately laughed and said, "Commander, do you have a godson named Qi Fei?" He's coming to the bar to find you! ”

Yang Yi was stunned and said, "Godson? Where did I come from? After thinking about it for a long time, I really couldn't remember when I took in a godson, but then I remembered the other party's surname, and immediately said, "Wait a minute, what do you say his name is?" ”

"His name is Qi Fei, what's wrong?" The monk was a little nervous when he heard Yang Yi's tone, and felt a little confused, and said to himself: "Could it be that this little guy is the illegitimate son of the commander?" Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to give himself a mouth, and secretly scolded: "What do you think! The commander checked his private life, and there was absolutely no such thing as this. ”

"Is your surname Qi?" Yang Yi narrowed his eyes, and he had the impression that there was only one person surnamed Qi among the people he knew. When he was more than ten years old, Old Man Qi, who was originally in a very poor economic condition, had funded his living expenses many times, although the amount was not large, but it was also a help to Yang Yi at that time. At that time, Yang Yi's mother had not passed away, and he didn't dare to tell his family when he dropped out of school, and even the fare to Yinan was funded by Old Man Qi, and he had not repaid this great kindness until now.

He also asked people to send money back to Old Man Qi, but he didn't expect to be rejected by the other party, in addition to bringing the money back without moving, he also brought back a sentence: "I helped you before hoping that you can be an upright person, and I don't ask for anything in return." ”

And now such a simple and upright person actually let his son come to him, and he doesn't have to think about it to know that something must be wrong. At that moment, Yang Yifei quickly got up and put on his clothes, and said to the monk on the other side of the phone: "Let this child wait for me, I'll rush over immediately!" ”

I went downstairs and stepped on the Y2K, which I hadn't ridden for a long time, and rushed to the Red Maple Leaf Bar.

Stepping into the bar, I happened to see Qi Fei eating accompanied by the monk and Sister Li, because Sister Li hadn't gone out to buy vegetables in the morning, so in the case of limited conditions, only boiled noodles for Qi Fei to eat, and at most two eggs were added. And it was such a simple egg noodle, Qi Fei also ate it with relish, seeing that the bowl in front of him was all eaten, and the rest of the soup was also drunk cleanly, Sister Li said softly: "Eat slowly, if it's not enough, I'll cook it for you!" ”

Qi Fei had never sat on a leather sofa, and he was afraid that his dirty clothes and pants would stain the sofa, and it looked like he was sitting, but in fact, only the small half of his butt hung on the edge of the sofa, and his sitting posture was a little unnatural.

Hearing the movement, Sister Li turned her head to see Yang Yi, and hurriedly got up and said, "Leader, you're here!" ”

Yang Yi waved his hand and walked to Qi Fei's side, who had just finished drinking the last bowl of soup, and was stunned when he saw Yang Yihou, and then asked timidly, "You...... Are you Yang Yi? ”

Ordering Zhi Tianxiu, Yang Yi smiled and said, "You are the son of Old Man Qi?" There is indeed a bit of similarity between the eyebrows. That's right, I'm Yang Yi, how is your father's health? I haven't seen him for so many years, and I'm going to visit him during the Chinese New Year today! ”

Hearing Yang Yi mention his father, Qi Fei froze like a wood carving, his eyes gradually turned red, and then he suddenly stood up, knelt down in front of Yang Yi with a plop, bent down and bowed, ready to kowtow to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi immediately stretched out his hand to help Qi Fei up, frowned, and said, "Tell me, is there something going on at home?" Is your father okay? ”

Qi Fei's tears rolled down uncontrollably, and he said silently: "My father...... My dad is gone! ”

"What?" Yang Yi's pupils contracted, and his voice became low: "What is the reason?" "I have the impression that although the old man Qi has a difficult living environment, his body has always been quite tough, and he should not have gotten sick, so since this reason has been ruled out, the rest is naturally artificial.

"Zhang Lei in the village, it was the pig killer who killed my father!" Qi Fei almost crushed his teeth, but he was still young and thin, otherwise he would have to go directly to Zhang Lei desperately. The monstrous hatred for Zhang Lei in her heart revealed from her eyes, which made Sister Li next to her couldn't help but shiver.

"Excellent! It seems that Zhang Lei has not remembered the lesson of the last time! Yang Yi threw away the cigarette butt, remembering that he had taught Zhang Lei, who was short of catties and two pounds, before he left home in his teens, and cut off one of his fingers as punishment, but he didn't expect that he hadn't gone back for many years, but Zhang Lei forgot about it.

"What did your father say when he left?" Yang Yi took a breath, and the cold expression on his face changed to a soft line. People are dead, and they always have to do something, otherwise how can they be worthy of Old Man Qi's kindness and trust in him.

Qi Fei wiped his tears and said, "He said let me come to you immediately, and said that I would recognize you as my godfather!" He also said that you would take care of the matter. ”

The monk next to him said coldly: "Commander, I will immediately inform the brothers!" "He's a shrewd man and knows what to do when.

"Go ahead! Let them put down everything they are doing and prepare to leave tomorrow! Yang nodded and said, "In addition, Sister Li bothered you to prepare a rooster and incense candles immediately." ”

Hearing this, the monk couldn't help but look at Qi Fei again, knowing that this was a very traditional and ancient ceremony, and it was very grand. He had been in the arsenal for many years, and he had only seen such a ceremony once, that is, Erlong, Sanpao, Sini and Yanzi worshiped Yang Yi as their brother.

Although Sister Li didn't know what Yang Yi was going to do, as long as it was something Yang Yi ordered, she would naturally go and do it immediately, and it took less than twenty minutes to buy back a big rooster and incense candle from the nearby market, and according to Yang Yi's request, the big rooster was bled out, put a blood bowl, and lit the incense candle.

Yang Yiyi sat on the rattan chair behind the incense candle in front of him, looked at Qi Fei and said solemnly: "I will definitely take care of this matter, but it has nothing to do with whether you recognize me as a godfather or not." I'll give you another chance to think clearly, if you really recognize me as a godfather, then you have to listen to me in everything in the future, and everything must be according to my rules! ”

Qi Fei didn't hesitate at all, stepped forward and took a sip of the blood bowl handed by Sister Li, then knelt down and advanced to Yang Yi, respectfully handing the blood bowl to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi took the blood bowl and took a sip, generously received Qi Fei's three heads, and finally put down the blood bowl and said: "From today on, you are my Yang Yi's son, I will take care of your father's affairs, after the matter, you have to go to school to learn knowledge, as for other things, you don't have to worry about anything!" ”

Qi Fei respectfully kowtowed again and said, "Everything is up to Godfather!" ”

Yang took out Tianxiu and lit one, spit out the smoke ring, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow we will go back to worship your father!" ”
