It's hot, the autumn tiger is still strong, and the willow leaves are curled up.

Tong Huaiqing sat under the thick paulownia tree at the entrance of the alley, a whimsy, dark green silk shirt, cufflinks pulled up to the elbows, revealing two slender arms.

The old man next to him was shouting and drinking chess, and several aunts were playing fans, wearing thin sweatshirts, washing their necklines and chatting for a few words, and their eyes glanced at Tong Huaiqing.

No way, it's too out of place.

It's like a pond of grass carp with a red tail, which is particularly conspicuous.

It's not that there are no good-looking people in the small county, and the TV host is like a fairy, but it's not enough to see in the eyes of these aunts, after all, they all say that the water here is good, and they raise people, all of them are white and tender, and they naturally produce beautiful embryos.

I've never seen anything so beautiful.

In other words, the temperament is completely different.

is different from the handsome men and women who draw eyebrows on the calendar, nor is it the dignified national color and fragrance on the screen, how to describe it, they can't say, they think this young man is really outstanding.

Especially the pair of pupils that were raised by chance, clear and clear, like a handful of soft water.

I heard that it was a foreigner brought back by Ikeno, the owner of the car repair shop, but unfortunately he never spoke and remained silent, I don't know if there is a problem.

Tong Huaiqing ignored the scorching gaze, half-closed, long eyelashes drooping, ignoring the appearance, breathing shallowly, and his chest rose and fell very slowly.

Thirsty, dizzy from heat.

After playing a game of chess, the old men poured water for themselves, coarse porcelain jars, brewed I don't know what kind of tea they were, they didn't wash the tea and scrape the foam, and they didn't feel too hot, they blew the white smoke and began to pour it, tilting their necks and laughing heartily.

Tong Huaiqing frowned subconsciously, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Even from a distance, he could smell the smell.

Hot, vigorous and lively vitality.

It's like this voice of "brother——! ”

The stabbing made Tong Huaiqing's eardrums hurt.

The little girl ran in front of him like the wind, and Lisuo threw off her schoolbag and raised the notebook in her hand high: "Brother, the teacher gave me a reward today!" ”

The boy who followed behind was more steady, and unhurriedly picked up the schoolbag and put it in his hand: "Chi Yinuo, brother is not done yet." ”

It's school time, the small county town slaps the earth, no one picks up the children, and those who live a little farther away pedal their bicycles, throwing up the keys hanging around their necks, and most of them are walking back, running and making noise, and plunging into the smell of food in each family.

Chi Yinuo stomped his feet: "Brother, you look at my reward first!" ”

The cicadas on the paulownia tree screamed, Tong Huaiqing's throat was sore, and he was a little dizzy when he lifted his eyelids, and his eyes couldn't even focus for a while.

It's only six or seven meters away from the garage.

Under the blood-colored sunset, Chi Yinuo put the book above his head to block the light, facing a big truck with blue paint, stretched out his big hands under the cab, grabbed the iron rod and slammed it, the man leaned out of his upper body, even if the sun was red and the sky was red, he could clearly feel the fierce fierceness.

It seems that the huge truck is nothing more than his little toy.

The wrench was pushed aside, and the man deftly withdrew from the bottom of the car, with a vertical scar on the peak of his eyebrows, a narrow single eyelid, and a very broad and tall physique.

Tong Huaiqing lowered his eyes with some disgust.

There is also some dislike, and Ikeno.

"Not sunbathing?" He wiped the sweat from his face and said succinctly, "Go to the shade." ”

The car was almost repaired, and at this moment, Ikeno's throat was full of irritability from the ground, it was hot, and the gap between the cab and the cement floor was small, and he was so suffocated that he was all over the water, he first went back to the store to wash his hands, rubbed the oil between his fingers with soap, wiped his face with a towel, and poured a large sip of cold tea before pushing open the freezer door and taking out three popsicles.

handed it to Chi Yinuo first, and rubbed the little girl's head.

"Not bad."

Then he handed it to the boy next to him and looked at the other party's appearance slightly: "Yangyang, why are you sweating so much?" ”

Chen Xiangyang had already torn open the bag: "Our last session is physical education class......

Chi Ye paused slightly, and didn't say anything, but turned to Tong Huaiqing, his outstretched forearm was strong and powerful, and he could see the slightly raised pale cyan blood vessels, and his palm was large, making the popsicle extremely petite.

Tong Huaiqing didn't raise his eyes.

"Aren't you thirsty," Ikeno looked at the man's lips, which were not bloody, and a little peeling, "Don't eat?" ”

Tong Huaiqing sat on the chair of the car repair shop, made by Chi Ye himself, pine texture, smooth and burr-free, the backrest deliberately increased the arc, can easily and comfortably stretch the body, just like Tong Huaiqing at this time, holding his arms, with a feeling of exuberance.

The two little ones watched from the side, biting on the popsicle without saying a word.

Ikeno was no longer polite to anyone, and tore the package directly, the sweet taste was in his mouth, relieving the hot and unbearable heart, the chess stall on the side was closed, and the aunts also hugged their grandsons home to cook, and there was only this bit of green shade under the paulownia tree next to the car repair shop, and it was really quiet for a while.

The sound of the horn broke the freeze, and a Jinbei van braked on the side of the road, the windows rolled down, and a hearty southern accent sounded.

"Pretty boy, how to get to Ping'an Street......

Ikeno looked over heavily, his jawline sharp, and the wrapping paper crumpled into a small ball in the palm of his hand.

The stranger's smile froze, and he was immediately silenced.

The windows rolled up faster than the accelerator, and before Ikeno could show the way, the minivan sprang out along the side.

It's like running for your life.

Chi Yinuo laughed "poof", Chen Xiangyang was used to biting popsicles, only Tong Huaiqing glanced at him coldly, thinking, no wonder.

looks so fierce, and is more sturdy and rugged than ordinary people, it's too normal to scare people away.

Chi Ye is very indifferent, he is naturally a little outrageous, with his own skills to stop children's night crying, go there, like an iron tower, no one dares to provoke.

Except for this Tong Huaiqing, who is not sitting on the right line.

At a second glance, in addition to the dry and skiny lips, there is also a faint layer of dark blue under the eyelids, this person is born with white skin, and the color of a little is particularly obvious.

Like that obvious sunburn on the arm.

Ikeno thought for a moment, but still stood up.

In less than half a minute, he carried a bottle of mineral water and put it in front of people.

"Drink this."

The mineral water should have been deliberately taken out in advance, and there was still a little winding water vapor on it, but the temperature was no longer cold, and now, Tong Huaiqing finally raised his chin, and the corners of his eyes that were slightly red by the sun were raised, and he continued to skim his face.

Chi Yinuo and Chen Xiangyang bit their ears: "He can't really be dumb, right......"

The two children wondered, their eldest brother suddenly brought back a strange man a few nights ago, both of them were just soaked from the water, the temperature in the river was still high this season, and it was normal for Zha Mengzi to take a bath, but before Ikeno could take a breath, he found that the man was already pale and trembling.

A touch, hot hands.

Spread the batter can be cooked into cakes.

In this way, Chi Ye took people to inject injections and feed them with water, and he didn't see him until today, but no matter what you asked him, the man was silent, and his face was full of fatigue.

Let's say he's deaf, the crowing of the reed rooster outside a street can wake people up, and he knocks on the door of Ikeno with a black face.

asked what his name was, and he didn't say anything, Chi Yinuo talked a lot, and kept pestering behind him to ask, maybe he was annoyed, the man's fingers were dipped in cold water, and the word "Tong" was written on the table.

Chen Xiangyang's mouth was sweet, and he immediately came up and called, Brother Tong Tong.

Tong Huaiqing treated everyone equally, not only did he not have any smiles on the two little ones, but he was not afraid of the pond field that was too close to the living, the mineral water bottle had already been spilled underneath, he had no reaction and continued to empty.

Chi Yinuo was still muttering, not feeling that his eldest brother had been swept away: "But...... He's so good-looking. ”

"I'll go get a soda for everyone," Chen Xiangyang saw with his eyesight, and looked up at Tong Huaiqing, "Brother Tong Tong, can you drink apple flavor?" ”

The hair on Tong Huaiqing's forehead was also a little sweaty, sticking to the white porcelain-like skin, Chi Ye let out a "tsk", stopped Chen Xiangyang, who was going to the freezer, picked up the mineral water, unscrewed it, and handed it over.

The three pairs of eyes all looked at Tong Huaiqing in unison.

He seemed accustomed to this direct gaze, calmly reached out to take it, then leaned closer to his dry lips, lifted the bottle, and began to drink in small sips.

Very delicate.

Chi Yinuo and Chen Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief.

When he finally drank it, he was waiting for someone to twist the cap on him.

Chi Ye endured it, and watched Tong Huaiqing drink a small half bottle of water like a green cat before asking, "Have you ever been beaten?" ”

"Brother," Chi Yinuo's eyes widened, "You promised me that you weren't allowed to fight!" ”

"That's not what I meant," Ikeno waved his hand, "forget it." ”

Tong Huaiqing's wilting strength improved, and he had the strength to stare at the man in front of him.

Like a fierce cat, this spirit seems to have never been cleaned up.

“…… Oh," Ikeno said regretfully, taking the mineral water and screwing the cap on, "Let's go home and eat." ”

Sunset splashed the shadows for a long time, Tong Huaiqing followed them leisurely, Chi Ye carried two discarded tires, Chen Xiangyang on the left was in his first year of junior high school, and his height was less than his chest, and Chi Yinuo on the right was four years lower and had braided hair, which was as tall as her second brother.

The Chi family's parents were not there, so Chi Ye pulled the two little ones.

Tong Huaiqing has lived in the past few days, and he has roughly understood their relationship, Chi Ye's mother left early, and when he was a teenager, his father continued to string, and Chen Xiangyang followed him into this family, and gave birth to Chi Yinuo two years later, which is a standard reorganized family.

As for whether the two adults are gone or go out to work, Tong Huaiqing doesn't know, and he doesn't bother to care.

The car repair shop is the façade of the street, and the row is full of business neighbors, walking along the alley under the paulownia tree, and on both sides is the small exclusive courtyard next to each other, and the Ikeno house is in the innermost, about two or three hundred meters away.

It's so close, but it takes five or six minutes to walk.

It's so lively.

Some people cook well, don't like to eat at home, but love to hold a bowl to stand at the door to chat, children just after school on the three or five piles, playing marbles and cards, listening to the radio of the uncle to turn the volume to the maximum, holding a fan to drive away mosquitoes, the aunt who sells braised meat leaned out, and shouted: "Xiaochi, come, specially left pig ears!" ”

Chi Ye's hand was occupied, and Chen Xiangyang took it obediently: "Is Uncle Jiang better?" ”

"Much better," the aunt smiled, but her hands were still slightly cramped on the apron, "thanks to your eldest brother......"

"It should."

After walking two steps, an old man wearing reading glasses waved his hand: "Xiaochi, my TV is broken again......"

"It's not plugged in," Ikeno said, "Let's see if I've forgotten the latch." ”

Flower butterflies.

Tong Huaiqing lowered his eyes and followed, thinking coldly.

It's like a butterfly flying among flowers, five big and three thick, and it looks fierce and vicious, and it is so popular.

didn't pay attention, just bumped into something hard, Tong Huaiqing staggered back a few steps, rubbed the corners of his forehead dissatisfied, and realized that he had arrived at the door of the house, and the two younger ones had already entered the yard, only Chi Ye stopped at some point and turned to face himself.

What he just bumped into was the plump and strong chest muscles.

How hard as a stone.

This touch couldn't help but remind Tong Huaiqing of the feeling of being fished out of the river and carrying one hand on his shoulder.

At that time, the muscles in that arm were also hard.

Sick of it.

And Chi Ye didn't notice Tong Huaiqing's displeasure at all, the tires were already stacked on the ground, and he could smell the smell of burning plastic.

"Yueji Miao is ready, I'll get some soil to plant this inside," Ikeno looked down at him, "Together?" ”

Tong Huaiqing still rubbed his head and didn't say a word.

"The fever is gone, if you want to learn a craft, I'll teach you, if there's anything you can't think of, try to keep yourself busy, it'll be over."

Putting down his hand, his forehead was rubbed a little red, and Tong Huaiqing raised his eyebrows mockingly.

Teach me the craft, you're quite confident.

It seems that he has never been beaten.

He lowered his eyelids again, not planning to deal with the other party, but when he raised his foot to cross the threshold, he tripped and was held by Chi Ye, and grabbed the only strong arm again, Tong Huaiqing stabilized his body, frowned and slapped on it.

I didn't expect Ikeno to move away, maybe the skin was rough and the flesh was thick, and it didn't hurt.

Tong Huaiqing was frustrated, and immediately wanted to blow up his hair, and the yin and yang weirdness pinched it on that arm, and rushed to Chiye to make an exit shape.

Deliberately slowed down the movement of his lips.

"It's so hard—"
