On Saturday, Jiang Qi accompanied me to the bookstore to pick out a few past exam books, and when I wanted to check out, I saw a bunch of posters of basketball stars, including Kobe Bryant, which Zhao Jiayu liked.

I stopped and looked at it.

"When did you like basketball stars?" Jiang Qi asked strangely.

"Oh...... Recent. "I flipped through a pendant with a comic book image of Kobe, and I thought it was cute, so I picked it up and settled the bill together.

When I got home, I knocked on Zhao Jiayu's door and found no one.

Maybe I went out, I looked at the pendant in my hand, thinking that it would be better to give it to him later, as a thank you gift from him to me for marking the key points.

I went back to the house to do my homework until about eleven o'clock, and my grandmother came up and called me to dinner.

I asked my grandmother in the kitchen while serving her food, "Grandma, is my brother back?" ”

As soon as he finished asking, Zhao Jiayu came in with the ball to open the door, and his grandmother smiled and said that it was just right to come back, and beckoned him to wash his hands and eat.

Zhao Jiayu snorted, put the ball in the entrance, changed his shoes and washed his hands in the kitchen.

I called him brother, and he nodded, um.

I realized that every time someone was there, I called him brother, and he would respond; When it's just the two of us, it shouldn't depend on his mood.

Zheng Xiaowan came out of the room, saw Zhao Jiayu, and asked with a smile: "Jiayu is back, still going to play on such a cold day?" ”

Zhao Jiayu nodded, didn't speak, and picked up chopsticks to eat.

I picked up his bowl and served him rice, he looked at me, and I asked him what was wrong? He didn't say anything and continued to eat with his head down.

Zheng Xiaowan glanced at me and handed the bowl to Mama Sun, "Mama Sun, serve me a bowl of rice." ”

"Okay." Mother Sun took it and handed it to her.

I glanced at Zheng Xiaowan and found that she was looking back and forth between me and Zhao Jiayu, but I didn't see it.

After eating, I went back to my room and continued to do my homework, and when I was done, I saw that it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

I got up and stretched, I heard a click, I sat for too long, and my body stiffened.

Holding a cup in his hand, he twisted his waist while going downstairs, and saw Zheng Xiaowan sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor watching TV.

I said hello to her when I passed by, "Mom." ”

"Hmm."

I took the water and wanted to go upstairs to continue doing the math problems I bought today, but she stopped me, "Come here." ”

I hesitated for a second, walked over and sat down on the couch next to her, "What's wrong?" ”

The heating at home is very sufficient, I am wearing pajamas, barefoot and no socks, and it is not cold in the room, but I feel a little cold when I sit here, so I put my feet up and sit on my legs.

"Put your feet down, you think you're on the kang in your hometown."

I flattened my mouth, didn't say anything, and obediently put my legs down. Although the two of us are not as close as a normal mother and daughter, as long as I am obedient and obedient enough, I can still talk about it, but that's all.

I'm really curious about what other people's children are like with their mothers.

"What's the matter with you and Zhao Jiayu?" She asked, staring at me.

I looked at "The Legend of Zhen Huan" playing on the TV and said, "It's nothing." ”

"Look at me," I said, turning my head to her, "how do I feel that you have a good relationship with him?" ”

"Okay? It's still like that. ”

"Don't be sloppy with me, you think I don't know how he was coaxed back by you, and get him so many delicious foods every day. What did I tell you in the first place? ”

"You said that I should listen to Uncle Zhao's words and persuade him to come back, I persuaded him to come back, and Uncle Zhao is also very happy, hasn't this matter passed a long time ago? Why did you bring it up again today? ”

"I didn't say anything about you because Uncle Zhao was very satisfied with you, did you really persuade you like I taught you? How do you turn your elbows outward! ”

I took a sip of hot water from the cup and said, "Anyway, I persuaded me to come back and completed the task assigned by Uncle Zhao." ”

"Hmph, that's it. Now, which side are you on? ”

I looked at her strangely, "Which side is standing on?" ”

"Don't forget that I am your own mother, no matter how close you call his brother, he will not kiss you in his heart!"

"It's okay, I think he's nice to me."

"You heartless," she looked around and said in a low voice, "Why don't you understand, as long as there is him in this family, we won't have a good life!" ”

"Then what do you want to blast him out?! Mom, this is his home! I sat up straight and couldn't help but retort.

"This is my home now!" Zheng Xiaowan looked at me with wide eyes.

"Cut!" A sneer came from the stairwell, and I turned my head to see Zhao Jiayu walking down the stairs wearing a down jacket.

He didn't even look at us, went straight to the door, changed his shoes and went out.

I put down the cup and patiently said to her: "Mom, Zhao Jiayu is not as bad as you think, since we moved to this house, he has nothing bad to us, you don't have such a big prejudice against him." "Not only that, but he also helped me solve my troubles, and he also helped me draw the key points of the exam two days ago.

"Heh, less than half a year after moving in, you're talking to him!"

"I didn't mean that, I mean, as long as you are good with Uncle Zhao, does it matter what Zhao Jiayu's attitude towards you?"

Zheng Xiaowan pulled her eyes back from the door, picked up a grape in the fruit bowl and put it into Yin Hong's mouth, stretched the tone and said, "That's right, as long as I hold your Uncle Zhao, he can't make any waves with a hairy child." ”

I lowered my eyebrows and looked down as a deaf person next to me.

"Mom, when are you free, let's go see my grandma together."

She looked at her nails, snorted, and said, "I'm not free, I asked my sister to play mahjong in the afternoon." Besides, Dexin Nursing Home is the most formal and best nursing home in the city, she is good there, what is there to see. ”

It's useless to say more, "Then I'll go upstairs." ”

"Go ahead."

Zhao Jiayu didn't come back for dinner in the evening, and I paid attention to the movement downstairs while doing the questions. It wasn't until about nine o'clock that I heard the sound of the door downstairs, and I put down my pen with a snap, and slipped to the door like a thief in my room to listen to the sound outside.

For...... Wow...... Oh ......, I frowned, is it Zhao Jiayu? Every time he goes upstairs, his voice is very soft, and today he listens to the footsteps so heavily?

I opened the door a small crack, the voice-activated lights in the corridor were on, and I saw Zhao Jiayu frowning and leaning against the wall panting, looking very uncomfortable.

I thought he was sick and ran out to help him, and as soon as I got closer, I smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

"Brother, have you been drinking?"

I put one of his arms on my shoulder and tried to carry him into the room, but he stood motionless, looking at me with straight eyes.

Isn't it stupid? How much was drunk?!

I waved my hand in front of him, "Let's go, what are you looking at?" ”

He retracted his gaze and took a step forward, his body was very heavy, and after a few steps I felt that I was not worthy of being his crutch, it was too heavy, and I was afraid that I would plant it on the ground when he shook so much.

I finally opened the door and put him on the bed, so tired that I collapsed at the foot of the bed panting.

"You...... What did you eat to grow up...... How...... Why is it so heavy?! Oops, I'm exhausted......"

I got up and turned on the bedside lamp to see that he was lying on the bed and falling asleep.

"Drunkard! Before I was an adult, I learned to drink from others! I muttered to myself as I took off his shoes.

I was afraid that he would not sleep well, and then I took off the down jacket for him, and the unconscious person was as heavy as a pile of mud, so I put the pillow under his head, straightened up, and was already sweating profusely.

I heard that people who drink too much are most afraid of vomiting in the middle of the night, because people are easy to choke when they are unconscious, and they will suffocate in severe cases. I don't know if he was that drunk, but to be on the safe side, I lay him on his side when I left.

Finally, he took a glass of water and put it at the head of the bed, closed the door and went out.
