Chapter 59 BBQ Anecdote
(PS: I'm so tired when I wrote this chapter! It's already 1:30 in the morning after writing it, so as I said before, when you see this chapter, it should be 9:00 in the morning on the 7th, and my outman will finally be updated regularly! Please applaud...)
The dusk is over and the lights are on.
The capital of the Republic of Kyushu, the location of Kyushu University, the bustling city of Yanjing is still full of traffic and dim lights everywhere. The bright moon above the city is in the sky, and the starry night is lost against the endless neon lights of the city, and it has begun to become impetuous and noisy.
As a gathering of young people, the surrounding streets and alleys are full of vitality and enthusiasm at night.
A pair of young couples holding hands and holding hands on the road, groups of beautiful girls in boutique shops, otakus yelling in Internet cafes, and golden young men and beautiful beauties who wantonly exude passion and desire in bars and nightclubs... These familiar or unfamiliar scenes form a painting of urban sentient beings like heavy oil paintings.
Snack street.
In order to give full play to the geographical advantages of their own shops, at night, the owners of restaurants of all sizes will set up barbecue and midnight snacks in front of their homes, attracting young men and women who have passed by to continue handing the money in their pockets to themselves.
"Oh! Brothers are here! Hurry up! Sit inside! I keep the best table, I'll wait for you!" Seeing Yue Tian and others coming to the door of their own barbecue restaurant, wearing an apron in their waists and holding a large skewer of barbecue in their hands, Chen Yifan quickly handed the barbecue to the middle-aged man beside him, and then wiped his oily hands on the apron and greeted him from behind the charcoal rack.
"Wow! I didn't realize that you can barbecue. Smell this smell, your skills are good!" Fat San'er stepped forward and grabbed Chen Yifan's neck.
"I'm idle and have nothing to do. Seeing that my dad is busy in the store every night, I'll do it." Chen Yifan unbuttoned the apron at his waist and said with a little embarrassed look down.
"It's great to be able to help your parents with things." Yue Tian said with a smile, with a little more praise in his eyes.
"That's right, if I could help my father like you, my old man might be able to wake up in the middle of the night." Shen Biao joked.
Seeing that Yue Tian and others did not look down on him, Chen Yifan's concerns suddenly disappeared a lot. He raised his head and smiled at everyone, and then warmly greeted the brothers to take their seats.
"Come on! Brothers drink it first, I'll get some specialties from my shop!" After that, Chen Yifan pulled out a large piece of beer from under the table and gave it to Shen Biao, and then hurriedly turned around and went to the charcoal rack to arrange barbecue.
"It's all here, brothers, don't be polite, just start doing it!" Shen Biao picked up a bottle of beer and squeezed his eyes at the brothers.
The brothers and others immediately picked up a bottle of beer, bite the bottle cap and then blow it.
"Brothers, wait, I'm the one who blows the bottle!" Chen Yifan, who had just left, suddenly came back. He sat next to Yue Tian and quickly bit open a bottle of beer.
"Hey, haven't you got something for your brothers? Why are you back? Do you want me to have some drinks?" As soon as I entered the door, Fat Saner, who had been drooling at the barbecue, pretended to be dissatisfied and complained.
Chen Yifan quickly explained: "No, no, my dad told me just now that he had packed our dishes and said he wanted me to have a drink with my brothers."
"Oh, I'll go! I didn't realize that your dad is quite open-minded! If my dad knew I was drinking, he would have to peel off my skin!" Fat San'er said in surprise.
"I'm no longer studying, he's too lazy to care about me. Come on! Stop talking about this, let's go first!" Chen Yifan raised the bottle of wine in his hand.
"Go one!" The five brothers raised the bottle together.
After a big mouthful of beer, Yue Tian inadvertently looked at the door of the store. He saw Chen Yifan's father standing in front of the charcoal rack, looking at his son with a smile. In addition to kindness, there seemed to be a hint of relief.
At this time, a middle-aged woman came to Yue Tian and others with two plates of steaming barbecue.
"You are all Yifan's friends? Don't be polite when you come. This is our special barbecue. Come on! Try it!" The middle-aged woman put the barbecue on the table and greeted Yue Tian and others enthusiastically.
"Thank you aunt! I've caused you trouble." Yue Tian quickly stood up and thanked him.
"Don't be so polite! Sit down and eat quickly. There is something delicious behind you. Everyone eats it slowly!" said the middle-aged woman with a smile. After that, she turned around and went to arrange other dishes.
"Yifan, is this your mother?" Yue Tian sat back on the stool and asked casually.
"No!" For some reason, Chen Yifan's face turned ugly as soon as the middle-aged woman appeared. He raised his head and took a big sip of wine, then took out a pack of cigarettes and let the brothers loose.
Seeing this, Yue Tian immediately closed his mouth tactfully.
It seems that the dust here is still a person with a story! Yue Tian took out his lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes. Within an hour, most of the 24 bottles of beer were wiped out by Yue Tian and others. With the intervention of alcohol, the brothers and others were chatting enthusiastically, and their relationship became more intimate. The number of empty bottles under their table was also increasing.
No one noticed that on a table in the corner of the barbecue restaurant, there was a pair of eyes carefully observing the every move of Yue Tian and others.
After drinking the whole twenty-four bottles of beer, the slightly less alcoholic fat Fat Saner and Chen Yifan had their tongues tied. As for Yue Tian, except for the redness and fever on his cheeks and the severe bloating of his stomach, he seemed to have no other feeling.
As the saying goes, he speaks the truth after drinking, but I didn’t expect that Chen Yifan, a kid, was really heartbroken with his brothers through alcohol.
From his intermittent narrative of Zhongyue Tian and others, it turned out that in the year he was in his second year of high school, his mother died of a cerebral hemorrhage. A year later, another woman broke into his life with her father. This woman was no one else, but the middle-aged woman just now.
The middle-aged woman's surname is Wang, and her hometown is in the countryside. The man died in a mine accident. In order to support her daughter to go to high school, she had to come to work in the city. The place where she worked happened to be Chen Yifan's barbecue restaurant.
Because of his hard work and ability to do things quickly, Chen Yifan and his father have a good impression of this woman. Perhaps because they worked together from morning to night every day, Chen Yifan's father and this woman gradually became in love with each other. Just three months ago, the two officially got together. However, in order not to affect their son's college entrance examination, Chen Yifan's father did not tell him about this.
But by chance, when Chen Yifan came home from school, he accidentally heard the conversation between his father and Aunt Wang. Chen Yifan, who learned the truth, was immediately stimulated. He could not accept another woman entering his family and replacing his mother's position.
From that day on, he learned to smoke, drink and fight, and his grades plummeted. In the college entrance examination, he failed without any suspense. In the past two months, Chen Yifan locked himself in the room every day, playing with computers and sleeping, and his will was very depressed.
Seeing his son like this, Chen Yifan's father and Aunt Wang were very guilty, but they didn't know what to do. Until a week ago, Aunt Wang's daughter, who was in her second year of high school, also moved to the Chen family. After seeing the girl who had the same experience of bereavement as her, dressed in an extremely simple and timid face, Chen Yifan suddenly felt a little ache in his heart. He slowly figured it out and began to walk out of his autistic space. From time to time, he also went to his father's store to help, but he couldn't accept it for a while if Aunt Wang was his stepmother.
After learning about Chen Yifan's life experience, all the brothers sighed. At Yue Tian's suggestion, the brothers and others left to blow the bottle for Chen Yifan's open-mindedness.
Just as Yue Tian and others were drinking, a noise suddenly came from the door of the barbecue restaurant.
As the young owner of the barbecue restaurant, Chen Yifan heard something moving in front of his store and stood up habitually, preparing to go out to see what was going on outside. Yue Tian and others also stood up with him.
The brothers and others came to the store and saw a girl in a high school uniform surrounded by several gangsters under the street light not far away. A boy with a tattoo on his arm was touching the girl with a lewd smile on his face.
The frightened and helpless girl's face was covered with tears. While protecting her chest, she looked anxiously towards the barbecue restaurant. When she saw Chen Yifan, she immediately shouted heart-wrenchingly as if she had seen her relatives.
