little brother [entertainment circle]

Although Su Yu promised to take Litong back to his hometown to meet his parents after meeting Litong's parents, but when he packed his luggage and prepared to leave, he hesitated.

After thinking about it, he still pulled Li Tong aside, and said solemnly: "Tong Tong, you should be mentally prepared first, the environment and atmosphere of my hometown is very different from yours - ours is very different, we If you come out this time when you go back... you'd better not have any expectations."

"Okay." Li Tong looked at him seriously, "What's the worst outcome? Will we be beaten out?"

Thinking of his parents, Su Yu suddenly felt helpless from the bottom of his heart, sighed and said, "Probably -- I'm not joking with you, they beat people for real, they might slap you, or they might slap you Take a clothes hanger, a branch, or a stick and beat them. The village I lived in when I was a child—how should I put it, anyway, everyone’s concept is that children must be beaten, and if they are not beaten, they will not become talents. Our children are just beaten Those who have grown up will continue to fight the next generation after they grow up and become parents."

"Touch little brother." Li Tong squeezed his palm with some distress, "Then you must have been beaten a lot when you were young, right? Fortunately, you are different from them, and you did not grow up to be such a violent person."

"Fortunately, among the children in the same village, I was rarely beaten. I used to be very good at pretending to be good." Su Yu grabbed his fingers that were pinching, "I hated it since I was a child, and I was afraid that one day I would become a People like that."

Li Tong knew how he came to Beijing to go to university through hardships, and when he heard Su Yu talk about that past, he felt lingering fear: "Fortunately, you made it out, baby, I can't even imagine that you will become like that My little brother is so gentle and virtuous, I really can't imagine the scene where you beat the child with a stick...Huh? I guess he's pretty handsome with his good looks?"

While Li Tong was talking, he lost the point, and Su Yu couldn't help but laugh: "How about I go and beat you up with a stick? You can see if you are handsome on the spot."

"Are you willing?" Li Tong looked at him, "If you are willing, you can beat me up. My little brother wants to teach me a lesson. How dare I have any objections."

Su Yu pinched his cheek, and sighed softly: "I can't bear it, if only I could, I've taught you a lesson."

After giving Li Tong a good psychological training, Su Yu dragged his family back to his hometown.Along the way, he discussed with Li Tong that in order to avoid being beaten out on the spot, he should not be in a hurry to come out after returning to his hometown, but told his parents that Li Tong was his good friend and had helped him a lot over the years——say At this point, Su Yu couldn't help but added sincerely: "This is not a lie, you have indeed helped me a lot."

In order to meet the parents this time, Li Tong did a lot of homework in advance, the most important of which was to learn Cantonese.He usually watches Hong Kong dramas occasionally and can sing a lot of Cantonese songs. He basically has no problem understanding Cantonese, the main thing is to learn to speak.

Although Su Yu hasn't spoken Cantonese for a long time, even if he talks to himself, he usually uses Mandarin, but Cantonese is the language he has been speaking since he learned to speak. After so many years of speaking, the language foundation is deep in his bones. It is not easy to forget.Li Tong was self-taught at first, but then he probably finally remembered that there was a little brother who could speak Cantonese by his side, and felt that it was useless not to use these resources, so he simply asked Su Yu to teach him.

It was the first time that Su Yu intuitively realized how fast Li Tong could learn something. Although it was not a zero foundation, it was true that Li Tong could not speak Cantonese. Being able to sing Cantonese songs and being able to speak Cantonese were two completely different concepts. .At the beginning, Li Tong had a hard time learning, but after learning some daily vocabulary and sentences, he quickly understood the grammar and sentence patterns of Cantonese.

"Is that so?" Li Tong looked at him triumphantly after finishing a few Cantonese sentences with a relatively complicated structure.

Su Yu liked to hear him speak Cantonese, with a slightly jerky accent, which sounded very cute.He couldn't help but leaned over and kissed Li Tong, and laughed: "Yes."

Although Su Yu's parents have moved to the city long ago, the so-called "city" is actually a small fifth- and sixth-tier city, which is incomparable to Beijing.After Su Yu and Li Tong got off the plane, they drove for several hours before arriving at their destination.

"I'm exhausted from this journey." After getting out of the car, Li Tong stretched his waist, and reached out to pick up the suitcase in Su Yu's hand—they didn't bring much stuff when they went out this time, and each of them packed a small suitcase, " Is this place so remote?"

Su Yu handed over the lighter suitcase: "Small city, didn't I tell you already?"

"It's more than I imagined... Well, let's be a little behind." Li Tong looked around, "Baby, I can't believe you came out of this kind of place, look at you, you are so arrogant .”

It's the Spring Festival, and the temperature in this place is estimated to be ten degrees above zero. Su Yu has already put on a thin windbreaker with experience, and Li Tong also reminded him to change into a thinner one.Their outfits are actually quite ordinary. Before Su Yu came here, he specially picked up unremarkable clothes to tidy up, but due to Li Tong's aesthetic limitations, they couldn't mix truly ordinary clothes in their closets.

No matter how inconspicuous their clothes are, they seem to have their own special glowing effects in such a disgraceful place.

"You're also very foreign, baby, I don't even bother to count how many little girls are peeping at you along the way, I can't bear to be jealous." Su Yu lightly put a hand around his waist, reminding him which way to go. Walk in the direction, "Western Qi Tong."

"Obviously most of the little girls are looking at you, okay?" Li Tong walked forward with his strength, "If you are jealous, I should be the one."

"It's up to you." Su Yu walked side by side with him, and answered naturally.

"Look at you." Litong said.

They can play this kind of boring game for a long time, and after being with Li Tong for a long time, Su Yu feels that he has become naive, and he was never so naive even when he was a child.

It was not the first time for Su Yu to walk this way back to his hometown, but it was the first time that he felt so relaxed and happy when he walked this way, probably because there was someone by his side.Even though he can guess what will greet them next, all his negative energy will disappear when he thinks that the person who is with him is Litong.

Maybe it's because Li Tong always gives him a feeling that "everything can be easily solved", or maybe it's because he is used to keeping a brisk mood when he is with Li Tong, and now he has no emotion at all.

"Why do we want to stay in a hotel?" Li Tong put the suitcase into the hotel room that he had booked in advance. What surprised him was that there was such a good star-rated hotel in this small place. "Are you at your parents' house?" Room?"

"Didn't I explain it a long time ago? Did you listen to me? Did you get excited along the way?" Su Yu sighed, "It's not convenient to leave my luggage at my parents' house, we live there It’s also inconvenient, maybe we’ll have a quarrel with them one day—maybe we’ll have to quarrel first when we go home today.”

"Isn't there still a guest?" Li Tong pointed to himself, "Are you noisy in front of guests? Seriously, baby, you don't usually speak loudly at home. I really can't see that you are in such a family environment. grew up."

"What are guests?" Su Yu said, "We don't care about that here."

After putting down his luggage at the hotel and resting for a while, Su Yu called his sister Su Yi.Su Yi came back two days ago, and when she learned that Su Yu was bringing her friends back for the Spring Festival, Su Xiaomei keenly guessed something.I have to yell that I will drive over to pick them up when they get to the place.

"This younger sister is the one you told me about, right? The one who is studying in Shanghai?" Li Tong changed into a dark gray sweater and habitually wore a baseball cap.This is the most common set of clothes he brought over. Originally thinking that the parents who saw the little brother had to tidy themselves up anyway, but his little brother didn't let him seriously wear it. It's worth being ugly and not going anywhere.

"Well," Su Yu said, "I'm just a younger sister."

When Su Yi came downstairs to the hotel, Su Yu and Li Tong were already standing by the side of the road waiting for her. Although each wore a hat and a mask, they couldn't hold back that they were tall and long-legged, and they were dressed like this. The place is out of place, and just standing there has already attracted a lot of attention.

"Brother!" Su Yi drove the car over, lowered the window and waved at them, "Come up quickly."

The two sat in the back seat of the car one after the other. Su Yi glanced at Litong from the rearview mirror and cleared her throat: "Hi brother, hello brother's boyfriend... What do you call this friend? Sister-in-law?"

Before getting into the car, Li Tong took a quick look at Su Yi. She was a pretty little girl with long hair in a shawl, wearing a round-neck sweater and a knitted jacket, and she had a good temperament. At first glance, she seemed out of place with this place." Big City Girl".

"Hey, sister." Li Tong smiled and nodded at her in the rearview mirror, and then glanced at Su Yu in surprise, "A Yu, did you tell our sister?"

"Brother didn't say anything." Su Yi said proudly, "I guess, you are wearing couple watches, and the clothes you are wearing are similar in color and style. Standing together, you look like a couple."

Li Tong glanced at his and Su Yu's wrists, and sincerely felt that Su Xiaomei's observation ability is quite strong: "Our sister is so smart."

"Climbing along the pole is really fast." Su Yu glanced at him, with a smile on his lips, "You became 'our sister' so quickly?"

Most of the time when Su Yu and Su Yi get along, they speak Mandarin. Su Yu can't remember when it started. Anyway, they have long been accustomed to this mode of occasionally interspersed with a few words of their hometown dialect.After Li Tong got into the car, he chatted with Su Yi quickly. Su Yi kept peeking at Li Tong in the rearview mirror, and Su Yu quietly hooked Gou Litong's finger.

After Li Tong took off his mask and hat, Su Yi stared at him more frequently, and frowned thoughtfully: "You look familiar, sister-in-law, have I seen you somewhere? By the way , I don’t know your name yet, why don’t you introduce yourself?”

"Don't call me sister-in-law, it sounds weird." The car was a little stuffy, and Li Tong lazily fanned the wind with the brim of his hat, "My name is Li Tong, you can just call me brother just like you call your elder brother, anyway. It's a family now."

"Litong?" Su Yi stared at him, completely ignoring the second half of his words, "Is that Litong? Tongtong? The big star who sang?"

Su Yu raised his face on the floor at the right time and taught his sister: "Tong what Tong, please call me brother."

"...Actually, I can not only sing. I don't like people calling me a star." Li Tong touched his handsome face, "I also write lyrics and compose... Sister, watch the way! Driving! Even if I grow up So handsome, you don't need to stare at me, do you?"

Su Yi hurriedly turned the car that had almost hit the curb back on the right road, without even looking at Su Yu, she said excitedly: "I'm sorry, I'm just a little excited, I didn't expect my brother to turn around... so A powerful person should be your boyfriend. Tongtong, you are more handsome in real life than in your photos! Much more handsome!"

"Thank you." Li Tong bent his eyes at her, "Did I meet a 'sister fan'?"

Su Yi said enthusiastically: "You don't know, in the dormitory where I go to school, four girls live in one room, and there are three girls in the dormitory who are all your true fans, and call your husband every day in the dormitory... Cough, I said that, brother You do not mind right?"

"I don't mind." Su Yu squeezed out a smile and ground her teeth silently.

Dare to covet his family Tongtong in front of him, it really hurts this dead girl for so many years!

"I'm the only one who isn't a fan. Let them partner with Amway every day. Our dormitory plays your songs almost day and night, and everything around the posters is everywhere. I'm about to become a fan." Su Yi didn't care at all. Sensing his brother's upset mood, he continued to say excitedly, "Now that I see the real person, I finally made up my mind, Tongtong, I want to be your fan! Bixin, please accept my true fan!"

Li Tong made her amused: "Fan, I don't need to burn money for fans, sister." He glanced at Su Yu, "I will reserve a copy for you around any new albums that will be released in the future, and let your brother send them over. , the one with a limited edition signature, I'm sure you'll be envious of the girl in your dormitory."

Su Yu turned her head to look at him for a moment, squeezed his hand, and showed him a gritted smile.

Litong let out a low hiss, and immediately turned to look out the window.

Although his hands hurt a little from being pinched, his little brother is well-measured and won't really make him feel uncomfortable.At this moment he couldn't stop laughing, but sister Su was in front, it was inappropriate for him to laugh out loud like this, so he could only stare at the scenery outside the window and hold back.

His little brother is really getting more and more naive, and he doesn't know who took him to take care of him, but he is so reduced that he even wants to eat his own sister's jealousy... Tsk, naive.

Li Tong turned his head, and while Su Yi wasn't paying attention, he quickly made a more childish grimace at Su Yu.

Su Yu's parents live in a community with a good environment. The floors of the community are generally not high. Su's father and Su's mother live in a duplex suite on the first and second floors.

"This neighborhood feels okay." Li Tong and Su Yu walked behind Su Yi, and he whispered to Su Yu, "Although the place looks small, the overall style is okay, your parents have good taste of."

Su Yu didn't say a word, just glanced at him without words.

"Why?" Li Tong raised his eyebrows, "If you have something to say, don't look at me like this."

Su Yu sighed, and said with a low voice, "You'll know later."

Su Yi, who was walking in front, asked, "Brother, you and Tongtong are back this time... What do you think?"

Su Yu didn't bother to correct her "Tongtong" one by one, anyway, there are a lot of people named "Tongtong", and almost all Tonghuas call it that way, and Litong himself doesn't mind—although it sounds like a relative. It feels weird for my sister to call her lover that way, and I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Su Yu said calmly: "I have no idea, just take my boyfriend to meet a parent. If my parents can accept it, then I can come back with my boyfriend to visit them occasionally; if I can't accept it, then I will hide away from now on." far away, don’t get in the way of them.”

"Then you probably have to stay far away in the future—hey, it's already far enough away." Su Yi couldn't help gossiping, "Brother, you and Tongtong...how long have you been together?"

Li Tong answered without thinking: "Almost two years."

Su Yu turned her head and stretched out her hand to gently pinch his fingertips.

Su Yi turned her head and was about to say something, when she saw this intimate and ambiguous scene, she immediately silenced, and quickly turned her head to stare at the front without squinting.

In her mind, her eldest brother has always been a gentle, reticent, calm and resolute existence, and he has almost never spoken loudly to anyone. In her impression, her brother yelled a few times when he had the most intense quarrel with his parents. Usually she doesn't talk much, every time she calls her elder brother, it's basically her twittering one-sidedly, and the elder brother just smiles occasionally or simply says a few words.

Not to mention calmness and perseverance, the eldest of the Su family is Su Yu, the youngest is Su Yi, and there are second and third children in between.Su Xiaoyi knew that she and the other two brothers were basically brought up by the eldest brother, and her parents rarely cared about the life and death of the children in the family.It is said that children from poor families are in charge of the family early, and with such unreliable parents, her elder brother, as the eldest of the family, has to be mature and sensible at a young age.

Su Yi has never seen her elder brother show such a look in his eyes, that full of tenderness is covered with a thick layer of indulgence, nostalgia, indulgence, and dependence... Her precocious elder brother, who has been precocious since she was a child, would actually show his love to someone. Such a deep dependence?

No matter how Su Yi thought about it, she found it incredible, but in the end she could only blame it on "the power of love is really great".

Su Yi is a sensible girl, sometimes she feels sorry for her brother, and feels that her brother has had a hard time all these years.Seeing this side of her brother suddenly at this moment, Su Yi suddenly felt relieved after being shocked.

She turned her head cautiously, and secretly glanced at Li Tong from the corner of her eye. Li Tong was staring straight at Su Yu, with a natural smile on her brows and mouth. With a little pampering?

Su Yi quickly turned her head and looked ahead, not knowing where her guilty conscience came from.

Su's parents' house arrived soon, but the door of the house was not locked, just concealed.Seeing Su Yi push the door in, Li Tong's mood, which had been incomparably brisk all the way, finally tensed up, and he became tense dully.

He has always reacted slowly and insensitively to emotions like "nervousness", and sometimes he doesn't even feel the nervousness at all.Li Tong was a little surprised that he would be nervous when he met his parents this time. He always thought that he was in a peaceful state of mind.

"What should I do?" Li Tong grabbed Su Yu, who was half a step ahead of him, and frowned slightly, "Brother, I'm a little... nervous."

"You're only nervous when you get to the door of the house, and you're really slow." Su Yu touched his face, and vaguely heard the movement inside, "Tong Tong, good boy, let's go, don't be nervous when you go in."

Su Yu didn't have much strength to pull him, so Li Tong took a step forward and finally stepped into the gate of Su's parents' house.

The "click, click" sound of mahjong bumping together is mixed with messy laughter and yelling.

"Six cakes!"

"Oh, why don't you explain?"

"what!"

"What about your card..."

As soon as Su Yu entered the door, he smelled a faint smell of smoke. Li Tong followed closely behind him and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw an automatic mahjong machine in the small open-air garden on the first floor. There were at least five or six people sitting on the table, some playing mahjong and some watching.

Su Yu just frowned slightly, then closed the door with his hand back without changing his face, and still held Litong's arm with the other hand.Su Yi went to the poker table and yelled: "Mom! Brother is back!"

The few people around the card table didn't even move their buttocks, only two or three people looked at this side, and joked without saying a word: "The fish has come back? Ikea is a big star, it's not easy to come back once!" "

"Let's go together! I'm sorry, I see Yuzi on TV all the time. My daughter doesn't know how close she is. She chases after the TV series she shoots all day long. He's so pretty, so pretty... Hey! What are you talking about?"

"Three! Yuzi is a pretty boy, Ah Xia is lucky, she gave birth to a big star!"

"What a blessing! I'm 30 years old, and I don't even know how to find a wife! Every time I talk about it at the same distance, I will lose my temper with me!" The yin and yang were strange, "I don't know what kind of evil I did in my previous life to give birth to such a child!"

Li Tong, who was completely ignored, was a little dazed. He could understand Cantonese, but the fact that a group of people were speaking Cantonese in reality made him a little overwhelmed. He couldn't understand what these people were saying for a while.

But he could hear the dissatisfaction in Mama Su's words, and subconsciously glanced at Su Yu, but Su Yu didn't say a word.

"Mom! Can you say a few words less?" Su Yi frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Brother brought a friend here!"

"What wild friend?" Su's mother finally raised her head and took a look here, then snorted, "It's not a girlfriend! Now, there are a few raw chickens and geese in the kitchen, and the men in the house don't have time to spare. Boy, fix the distance with your friends!"

"What... mean?" Li Tong still didn't quite understand, so he had to ask Su Yu in a low voice.

Su Yu hadn't said a word since he entered the door, he had a cold face and didn't even call out to anyone—others didn't say anything, and he didn't even call out to his own mother. The older brother was very different.

When he and Su Yu were at home, Su Yu talked a lot, and he could talk to him about any topic for a long time.Even if Li Tong doesn't speak, he only responds once or twice occasionally, as long as his little brother is willing, he can chatter all afternoon by his side.

But after returning to this "home", Li Tong keenly found that his little brother seemed to have changed, even his aura was different.The people who played mahjong over there probably knew Su Yu. Li Tong could hear that those people were talking about his little brother, but Su Yu didn't even raise his eyelids there from the beginning to the end, let alone talk to him.

Su Yu changed into his indoor slippers habitually, and when he heard Li Tong's slightly jerky Cantonese, his indifferent expression eased a little, and he replied in Cantonese in a soft voice: "Tell me to go to the chicken and goose."

"Chicken and goose?" Li Tong was taken aback, "What... what do you mean?"

The appearance of Li Tong struggling to imitate his Cantonese pronunciation is very cute. Su Yu was stunned to hear a little bit of cuteness, and couldn't help smiling: "It's just killing chickens and geese."

Li Tong was completely dumbfounded.

In his more than 20 years of life, he has never heard of a "hospitality" where new guests help with work, and it is like killing chickens and geese... He can't even imagine how dirty it is. live.Li Tong hadn't even seen live chickens and geese many times, and most of the dishes that could be brought to him were pre-cooked dishes.

I didn't expect to go back to my hometown with my lover and gain so much insight.

Judging by Su Yu's appearance, he is probably used to this kind of situation. It is estimated that since he was a child, his parents have been forced to work like this, and he has developed the habit of going directly to the kitchen without even bothering to ask.

At home, Su Yu still listens to his elders, and doesn’t bother to care about trivial matters. His “rebellion” is generally reflected in the general direction—for example, what school he wants to study, what kind of job he wants to do, once he decides It's useless for anyone to object; for example, if he doesn't want to marry a girl and have children, it doesn't matter whoever forces him. Beating and scolding are all useless to him.

Although Su's mother said that, Su Yu didn't intend to let Litong do it. At most, his little ancestor would help wash rice and wash vegetables at home. He was reluctant to do more work, let alone kill chickens and geese. .Su Yu went back to her room and took off her coat and hung it aside, casually changed into the old clothes she wore before, rolled up her sleeves and was about to enter the kitchen.

"Hey, what about me?" Li Tong grabbed him, "Your mother let me help? Bring me some old clothes and change into them."

"Why do you listen to her? She didn't even come to say hello to you." Su Yu pulled his hand away, and Li Tong's hand was well maintained as always, thinking that these beautiful hands would be stained with chicken and goose Su Yu couldn't bear the stench, "Hey, play with your phone in the room for a while. Didn't you bring your iPad? Find a movie and watch it here, don't go to the living room, it's full of smoke outside taste……"

"You kill chickens and geese by yourself?" Li Tong looked at him.

"No." Su Yu pulled his sleeves, "Su Xiaoyi will help."

"Sister Xiaoyi is also a girl, let us rough men do this kind of thing." Li Tong turned and opened the closet door next to him, "Or do you think I am not as good as a girl? Worry that I will give you something in the kitchen?" Add to the chaos, right?"

"Yes," Su Yu nodded solemnly, "Su Xiaoyi grew up helping with the work at home, you..." He looked at Litong and paused.

Li Tong stared at him unconvinced: "What's wrong with me, Su Dayu?"

"I feel sorry for you if you do more work at home." Su Yu took it unhurriedly, "So..."

"So you should be more distressed for a while." Li Tong took out a coat and put it on quickly, "Sister Xiaoyi is resting and won't help with work. Today your partner is me."
