Chapter 8 Two Brothers

Looking at the time, it was already past four o'clock, and I could only sleep for three hours, afraid that I would not wake up as soon as I fell asleep. Because the first thing that freshmen usually do at the beginning of the school year is military training, and it is only mid-September at this moment, and there are at least ten days before military training ends. I didn't go last Friday, and it wouldn't be good if I didn't go tomorrow. Li Le simply took a shower first, then turned on the TV and watched it. It's just that the more I look at it, the more I feel that my eyelids are very heavy, and in the end, I couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep directly on the sofa.

In a daze, Li Le seemed to hear the sound of the alarm clock, but he felt that he couldn't open his eyes. By the time I woke up, it was already past 9 o'clock.

quickly got dressed and washed quickly, and the whole room suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs. After hurrying out of the door, Li Le rushed towards the school. After running for more than 20 minutes, Li Le rushed to school, which was also his first day of college.

In his memory, Li Le's relationship with his classmates was not harmonious, thanks to the fact that he confessed to the slightly better-looking female classmates in the class in the first week of school, of course, with his figure, it naturally ended in failure.

I remember someone in the class asked him, "Why can you see a beautiful girl and go up and confess?" ”

"Every time I see a beautiful girl, I feel like I have known her, loved her, snapped, and then forgotten about each other. Until they met again in the world, deep down they still believed that the other party was their lover who loved each other 100%. ”

After being rejected in the class, he was cheeky and moved to other classes, until he met Liu Yunyao and stopped for a while, but his notoriety spread throughout the department.

At this moment, the playground was full of passwords, and Li Le found the location of his class with his memory. Students are practicing their standing posture.

"Report!" Li Le shouted towards the instructor's back.

It was a man in his thirties. The knife-like silhouette presents a man's blood, a rigorous expression, and a straight chest with the temperament of a soldier.

"What did you do?" The man's tone was very flat, but it had a smack of questioning.

"I'll run ten laps first!" As he spoke, Li Le ran along the playground, because in his memory, the instructor seemed to be the last fate of running ten laps first, no matter what fancy excuses you said. So Li Le didn't talk about it, it was all about losing weight.

Seeing that he was so conscious, but the instructor was stunned all of a sudden.

There was also a trivial discussion in the crowd who was standing in a military posture, "No, this kid, didn't he always find a few excuses before he said it, but this time he changed his sex?" ”

"It doesn't matter if he changes his sex or not, just his fat body, he still confesses to people at every turn, it's strange that someone can take a fancy to him!"

"I also wonder how thick this kid's skin is, obviously fat is not presentable, and he has no self-knowledge, so he said that in our class, anyone who is a little beautiful, that one has not been harassed by him, but he has been defeated repeatedly, I think this cheeky can be a city wall on the Great Wall!"

"Look! I also asked to run ten laps, and after a while, it must be the same as usual, and when I got to the sixth lap, I couldn't move when I lay down. ”

……

At this moment, Comrade Li Le, who was talked about by many male classmates, was running the playground, and the fat body was shaking up and down frequently, like a wave, which provoked several other female classmates to look at their chests, and there was a sense of shame in their hearts.

The instructor looked at this kid for a long time, and then the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.

The playground where Li Le is located is just a small playground in the school, with a circumference of only about 400 meters, which is unbearable for him who is obese after ten laps. In the past, he didn't run less, and every time he reached the sixth lap, he directly became a roller pressing the road. But today, Li Le ran without feeling any stuffiness, and his heart beat only a little faster. One lap, two laps, five laps, and until the eighth lap, I didn't feel tired, and the speed didn't drop in the slightest. made many people who wanted to see his jokes dumbfounded, and even the eyes of other classes were unconsciously attracted by him.

Could it be that his body is really weird, thinking of the strange recovery power when he was burned the day before yesterday, Li Le couldn't help but think.

After ten laps, Li Le felt that his clothes were soaked, but he felt refreshed. Hao walked up to the instructor without panting, and then said, "Report to the instructor, ten laps have been completed." "That voice, loud and neutral, full of strength.

The instructor also looked at him with a strange expression, he never thought that this kid could talk so smoothly after ten laps, listening to that anger, it was like a person who had nothing to do. It's really a heaven and an earth.

"Did I let you run?" The instructor asked.

"No, but I didn't have any reason to be late, I should run."

"So you're quite conscious?"

"As a college student, you should be conscious!"

"Okay, don't be poor, return to the team!"

In the surprised gaze, Li Le entered the team. Not to mention that others were surprised, he himself was also surprised, but this was obviously not the time to study, so he had to pretend that it was okay with a blank face.

After a day's drills, Li Le was in the eyes of everyone, whether it was standing in a military posture, kicking a positive step, push-ups, or squatting steps, he could finish it like a normal person. In the end, even the instructor looked at him like a monster.

In the next two days, Li Le always completed every military training requirement with quality and quantity during the day, and went to Zhen Yan's shop to carve jewelry at night. Li Le completely ignored the strange eyes of his classmates, he had seen too many strange eyes since he was reborn, and he was used to it unconsciously, he only felt that this kind of life was very fulfilling.

After the third day of school, Li Le called Zhen Yan to ask for leave, because Hu Shu had returned from Guangzhou.

At the gate of the school, Hu Shu was sitting on a Santana, and when he saw Li Le, he waved and threw a cigarette over. As soon as Li Le saw it, King Furong directly ordered it.

"Let's go, get in the car, and have a good drink with me in the evening." Hu Shu said happily, obviously seeing Li Le, he was in a very good mood.

"Buy two vegetables and go to my house! I'll give you two hands, and I'll talk more happily at home. ”

"You can also cook?" For Li Le's invitation, Hu Shu felt a little incredible. He had the impression that Li Le seemed to eat very well, but cooking? Do sows go to trees? If so, Li Ledu may not be able to.

"Okay, don't look at me like that, just listen to me."

"Do you really want to cook? Big brother, you're not going to use me as a guinea pig. Seeing that Li Le didn't seem to be joking, Hu Shu's mind was full of plates of dishes like black charcoal, and a cold wind blew in his heart, and his body trembled.

"Are you going or not? No, I'll go back on my own. With that, Li Le turned his head to leave.

"Go! Go! I can't go. Hu Shu's face was suddenly full of bitterness, he hadn't eaten well in Guangzhou for a few days, and he didn't want to come back but was still persecuted.

Reluctantly accompanied Li Le to the vegetable market, and reluctantly came to Li Le's house with a large bag and a small bag, Hu Shu felt that he was really sad.

Ignoring Hu Shu's pleading expression, after Li Le entered the house, he took out the cigarette on his body and threw it at himself, lit one and threw it at him, letting Hu Shu feel free, and then went into the kitchen and got busy.

In just half an hour, a burst of fragrance wafted into the nose of Hu Shu, who was sitting on the sofa with a sad face. It seems to be the taste of braised pork, Hu Shu couldn't help but think. Then followed the fragrance all the way to the kitchen, and after taking a look, it was instantly messy, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.

At this moment, Li Le is surrounded by stove clothes, humming a little song, frying the spatula with a happy face, and occasionally shaking the iron pot twice, a typical image of a housewife and man.

I'll go, is this still the Li Le I know?

"What's the matter, you look stupid, is my brother's cooking skills still good?"

Looking at the tumbling pieces of meat in the pot, the color is ruddy and the aroma is overflowing, can you not make a living? Then Hu Shu seemed to remember something, and asked with a gritted tooth: "You can't become a cook for three or five years, right?"

Li Le tilted his head and thought about it, calculated that he had been cooking for almost ten years, and then folded it in half and said, "Well, it's been five years!"

When Hu Shu heard this, his face immediately turned red, as if he had boiled his head, and his teeth were also rattling, "Then do you remember the time I cooked and you ate half a year ago?" ”

Cook me to eat? Li Le flipped through his memories for a moment, and then said, "It seems that there is such a thing." "Just that time, we lost all our cards and had no money to eat, in my house, you said you couldn't cook, the dishes in the refrigerator could only be seen and not eaten, and in the end I ordered noodles for you to eat, you still don't think it's delicious, remember?"

"It's not delicious, who let you boil noodles and cold water and throw them in, and forgot to put salt. I won't talk about it without salt, just say that the noodles are all stained together, and the inside is still raw, and the bite in the mouth is like crisp noodles. No, when you say crisp noodles, it still lifts you up, it should be called crispy noodles. Recalling that memory, Li Le also said it casually, not noticing that Hu Shu's face had turned from red to blue, and he was in a state of explosion.

"You still dare to say that you just hang noodles, ...... I strangled you! ”

"Ah......h A scream pierced through the sky, and it turned out that Li Le saw Hu Shu rushing over, and his right hand holding the spatula blocked it, hitting Hu Shu's outstretched hoof. The temperature of the spatula just out of the pot can be imagined, and Hu Shu's hooves instantly became red and swollen.

"You said you, why are you scaring me so well!" Li Le saw that Hu Shu's hand was red and swollen, so he turned off the fire in an instant, and hurriedly pulled his hand under the halter to flush cold water, and then applied the scald medicine that had not been used up last time.

At this moment, Hu Shu was almost crying without tears, and the pain in his hand made him want to kill Li Le with his eyes.

"Just sit back and relax, and we'll start eating later." Li Le didn't dare to look at Hu Shu's eyes at this moment, and fled back to the kitchen directly.

After a while, the dish was on the table, and Hu Shu was still there complaining and shouting pain. But after eating two bites of food, there was only the sound of chewing in my mouth. He was really hungry, and the food cooked by Li Le was really fragrant, so he suddenly had a gust of wind and clouds, completely forgetting the pain in his hands.

The two of them dried a bottle of wine and paid off the food before stopping.

"You really haven't said anything about your craft." Hu Shu lit a cigarette and praised it with a full burp.

"There will be a day when you will eat."

"Can you eat it every day?" Hu Shu asked with a shy face.

"What, if you want to be my daughter-in-law, you can't do it?"

"Roll the calves!"

"By the way, what did I tell you to bring? Did you bring it back? Li Le suddenly remembered about the olive pit, so he asked casually.

"If you don't say that I really forgot, it's in the trunk, I'll bring it to you." Saying that, Hu Shu was about to get up.

"Okay, your hand is still injured, if you give it to me, I'll go myself."

"Okay, then you can go."

After taking the key handed over by Hu Shu, Li Le went out, but after a while, he came up with a snakeskin bag.

The snakeskin bag was opened, and inside were small bags, apparently more than one species. After taking out all the bags, Li Le found that most of them were old cores. The varieties are also different, with single nuclei and round nuclei being the most, and the second being elongated nuclei. There are also some small cores, but there are no strange cores. The quality is also good, and occasionally a few Li Le who spend it don't care, Hu Shu is a person who doesn't know how to do it, and it is quite good to be able to buy it like this.

"Is it okay to bring something for you?" Seeing Li Le picking and picking, Hu Shu was a little unsure whether the things he brought would work.

"Okay, why not. These things are considered to be of good quality. ”

Hearing Li Le say this, Hu Shu calmed down, "It seems that the boss is not bad, and he didn't give it to me." I told the boss that I wanted the old core, and let him choose the rest for me. But seriously, this thing is just a few dozen dollars a catty, and you can't eat it, what are you going to do with it? ”

"You wait for me for a moment! You'll find out later. Li Le got up and went back to the room, took out the carving knife he had made, and found a small brush. Then, under Hu Shu's surprised eyes, he picked a round core and began to make it on the spot.

The moment the carving knife arrived, Li Le's whole person fell silent. The fat hands are also alive at this moment, I saw that his fingers were flying, and the knife in his hand was like a dragon and snake, without the slightest stagnation, without the slightest jerky. The knives in his hands are constantly changing, and sometimes he picks up a brush to clean the slag on it, and the whole tool seems to be endowed with a soul, and the dexterous hands perform a dance between the fingers.

Hu Shu was also stunned at the moment, and the messy feeling appeared again. Li Le, who has known him for more than ten years, surprised him again and again in a short period of time today. First the amazing cooking, then the unparalleled carving. Hu Shu was very suspicious that the fat man was possessed by a ghost, but apparently he still remembered the past.

Looking at the quiet and selfless Li Le in front of him, Hu Shu wanted to pry his brain open to see what was inside.

Time passed little by little, and Hu Shu also watched without blinking. Finally, after more than three hours, a small and delicate nuclear carved gourd was formed, and the last powder was cleaned with a brush, and the work finally showed its most perfect state.

I saw that the upper and lower belly of the gourd were full and round, with a smooth mirror feeling, slightly shiny. The waist is also perfect, and there is not the slightest trace of knife carving and edges and corners at all. The lines on the mouth of the gourd are also clearly visible, revealing a sense of softness.

The biggest highlight is the pattern on the gourd wall, carved is a few peonies, which are drawn with a seal carving knife, the flowers are in full bloom, some are shy, and some are just buds. Various forms are vivid and different. The soft lines, the soft outline, on this small gourd wall is actually a peony feast.

Looking at the work in his hand, Li Le couldn't help nodding secretly. In fact, he can use bas-relief to outline the pattern more vividly and layered, but it also takes a lot more time. He is satisfied with the roundness and lustrous texture on the gourd wall at the moment, and it seems that his many years of craftsmanship are still not rusty.

Although this work is just a simple gourd, and it is not as complex as those products such as nuclear boats, the simpler it is, the more it can test the skill. When the skill reaches a high level, it is not presented by complex things, but reflects the maturity of the skill from the processing of many details.

Hu Shu looked at the gourd in Li Le's hand, although he didn't know how to carve, but from this work alone, he could see that Li Le's carving skills were definitely good.

"I said, how much else are you kid hiding from me? Cooking, carving, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe you would have done this. Hu Shu looked at Li Le and asked with some emotion in his heart.

"If I say I came back in time, would you believe me?"

"Believe!"

"Really?"

"It's still cooking, you give me an honest explanation, and then fool the guys, see if I don't slap you to the wall." Saying that, Hu Shu raised his right hand to make a gesture to fight, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the red burn on his hand, and put it down stupidly.

One moment ago, Li Le really thought that Hu Shu believed it, but the next moment his hope was dashed. I still have to tell lies to be convincing, why did the world start to be full of deception now.

In fact, Li Le really didn't know how to explain for a while, Hu Shu was different from others, and the two began to play together since junior high school. In the words of this era, it was a hardcore brother who had worn the same pants, had slept in the same bed, and slept with the same woman. Of course, it's not true that I've slept with the same woman, but it's just that it's better to describe the relationship between the two and know the roots.

Seeing Li Le's sad look on his face and not jumping out of a word for a long time, Hu Shu suddenly said: "Is it so difficult for me to tell the truth?" Seeing how sad you are, I look worried. Forget it, I don't bother to ask, anyway, it's been a few years since I was deceived by you, so remember to make more food compensation in the future! ”

"Okay, no problem! Well, this one is for you. When Li Le heard that Hu Shu was no longer pursuing the root problem, the facial features that were huddled together suddenly bloomed, and then handed the nuclear carving gourd in his hand to Hu Shu.

Hu Shu was also not polite, he took it with one hand, and then kept playing with it in his hand, obviously he also loved this small and delicate nuclear carving in his heart.

"I said you're really good at carving this thing, but what are you going to do with so much?" He still didn't understand how many olive pits Li Le had prepared.

"Sell!"

"You're short on money? By the way, you haven't told me what you borrowed money for last time. ”

Li Le found that the topic unconsciously led to the problem of making him depressed, and he couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while, and he couldn't help but say it in the face of Hu Shu, the relationship between the two has reached such an extent, and if he doesn't say it, it will inevitably leave a pimple in the other party's heart, after all, the money is still borrowed from him.

After thinking for a moment, Li Le gave a general account of the matter. He didn't hide anything, after all, there was nothing to deceive in front of the best brothers, and the two of them had done no less to harm other people's girls before.

"I probably understand, that is, you spent 20,000 yuan to pay off your love debt? I didn't see that you have such a conscience before, you like that girl? Hu Shu had a seemingly clear expression.

"Uh...... I don't know. Li Le really didn't know his feelings for Liu Yunyao, from the time he took care of Liu Yunyao in those two days, he didn't feel tempted once, and he was disappointed when he finally left. He wasn't sure if these were his own true emotions or if they had been influenced by another Le Le. Just like his character now, he is also a little unsure whether it is the real self, those memories that do not belong to him are clearly imprinted in his mind, when the person in the memory appears clearly in front of him, that emotion is also strangely real, facing Li Hong, facing Hu Shu at this time, some words and jokes are spit out smoothly, from the heart, but with the character of the life, it is impossible to say.

Sometimes he even has the illusion that he seems to be a combination of a twenty-year-old and a forty-year-old soul, as if it is a new life, which does not belong to the original Li Le or the original Li Shaoyang.

"I know, you must like that girl, generally speaking, you don't know that your heart likes it. I support you in this matter, if you really like it, chase it, don't give up just because people reject you twice. Hu Shu didn't have a joking expression at the moment, and his words also revealed a sense of affirmation.

This time it was Li Le's turn to be a little surprised, because in his impression, he felt that Hu Shu would definitely say that he was a loser, a fool, and his head was kicked by a donkey, but he would never say that he did this well and did it right.

Seeing Li Le's expression, Hu Shu continued: "Don't have such an expression, I know what you think, I must think about why I didn't scold you for being a loser, and your head was kicked by a donkey."

Li Le nodded honestly, like a chicken pecking rice.

"Although we said that we used to harm the girls, most of them went out of your love and my wishes to have some fun. Do you admit it? ”

"Admit it!"

"And tell me about those girls, how many of them do you really like?"

Li Le recalled his original memory, to say that he likes him to basically see one and love one, but if he is sincere, he really doesn't have it, even if it is for Liu Yunyao, he can't be sure whether the original Li Le is sincere.

"It doesn't seem like there!"

"Okay, then this time, since you are willing to borrow money everywhere yourself, you have to make up 20,000 yuan for her, I'm sure you absolutely like her, at least it's different from the previous ones." Li Lezhi didn't expect that he just really wanted to repay his debts, but in Hu Shu's eyes, it became a sincere action. But at this time, he still didn't understand Hu Shu's thoughts, so he had to continue to listen to his next words, "Although we are both prodigal personalities, if we really meet someone I like, I will be like you." ”
