Chapter 128, The Young Ones [3 More]
"I haven't made the noodles, so I'll make the noodles." Seeing that the noodles were not ready yet, Qiao Mingshan was going to make the noodles.
"Cousin, I'll do this, I'll do it." Seeing that his job was about to be snatched away, Zhou Xing hurried to get it back.
Qiao Mingshan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Can you?"
Everyone has known each other for so long, so he naturally knows that this young master is a young man who doesn't stick to the sun. Looking at his clumsy appearance at work, he knows that he must have never done these things at home.But they are different from Zhou Xing in that they have been helping the family since they were young, and they can do any kind of work.
"Hey, don't you have my cousins here? Tell me about me, don't I know how to do it?" Young Master Zhou asked with a face full of shame, studying hard, he can say that he will learn how to cook for a certain classmate .
If it is too unpalatable at that time, it will be a matter of face.
"Okay, it's up to you if you come." Qiao Mingshan smiled, since the other party wanted to learn, he didn't discourage his enthusiasm, and taught Zhou Xing how to cut noodles.
After taking a look at Zhou Xing and his cousin, Qiao Minglang was ready to start cooking.
"Do you want us to help with something?" Seeing his cousin preparing to cook, Qiao Mingzhong came over and asked.Qiao Minglang glanced at it, and asked his cousin to help wash the dishes.
After the noodles were cut and cooked, Zhou Xing asked Qiao Mingshan to take a look, then he went out, turned to a small shop next door and bought a big bag of beer.
Seeing what Zhou Xing brought back, Qiao Mingyong's eyes lit up.
Qiao Mingyong wanted to put his hand on the opponent's shoulder, but found that the opponent was taller than him, so he had to bump into him with his hands instead, and said, "Okay, buddy."
"How old are you this year, can you drink?" Since they are in the same class as their little cousin, they shouldn't be much older?But he saw that the other party was so tall, maybe he was bigger than their little cousin.
"16." Zhou Xing reported his age.
"You're only sixteen? I really can't tell." Qiao Mingyong glanced at Zhou Xing up and down. He felt that Zhou Xing's appearance was more mature and mature, but it could also be said that his little cousin looked smaller.
"You're not much older than Minglang, our family. Minglang is fifteen years old, so you're only one year older than Minglang."
"However..." Qiao Mingyong compared the statures of his little cousin and Zhou Xing. The difference between the two was more than a head. Looking at Zhou Xing, he asked, "What did you eat to grow up? Why are you so tall?"
The brothers in their family are already considered tall, even at the age of 16, he is not as tall as his cousin.Not to mention when he was 16 years old, even now he is not much taller than the other party, and the other party is only 16 years old, and he can grow two years longer.
"Eat more meat." Zhou Xing compared Qiao Minglang's age and stature with him in his heart. He always thought that Qiao Minglang was younger than him, so it turned out that this person was really one year younger than him.
"Well, it must be that we ate less meat when we were young." Qiao Mingyong deeply felt that they must have eaten less meat when they were young, but at that time the family was poor, and it would be nice to have a full stomach. Where else would there be any meat to eat? .
They can grow so tall because their grandfather, their father, and their brothers are not short.
But his little cousin is like his grandparents. He sees Mr. Zhang as a little old man, and wonders if his cousin will be as tall as them in two years.
The two were muttering to each other, but the person who was cooking over there didn't know that he had become the topic of discussion among others, or he was muttering about him in front of his face.
When the dishes were fried, the brothers brought the dishes to the table, and everyone sat around the table to eat together.
"Come on, let's have a drink, how many cousins can drink?" Zhou Xing opened four beers, gave each of the cousins one, and asked.
Qiao Mingshan took the beer, only to realize that this kid just ran out to buy beer and came back, and replied with a smile: "Haha, don't underestimate us, it's okay to drink liquor."
"Haha, that's good." Zhou Xing specially bought a bottle of Coke for Qiao Minglang, and opened the pull ring for him, "Here's for you, you drink this."
Qiao Minglang took the bottle, saw what was inside, and glanced at Zhou Xing, not knowing what was inside.
Everyone touched the bottle, and Zhou Xing said, "Welcome two cousins to Jiangcheng."
"Thank you. I met you on the first day. We are very happy for Minglang to have friends like you in school." Qiao Mingyong touched the bottle with Zhou Xing and took a sip of wine.
Several people chatted while drinking, and soon became familiar with each other.
As long as Zhou Xing is willing to let go of his airs as a young master, he can get along well with anyone.
Qiao Minglang took a sip of the drink in the bottle and stopped moving. He didn't like the taste very much.The two of them were sitting next to each other. Seeing Qiao Minglang put the Coke aside, Zhou Xing stopped drinking, and leaned into his ear and asked, "Don't you like drinking Coke?"
"Do you want to drink?"
"Don't drink, you drink."
Qiao Minglang doesn't really have much appetite. When others eat meat, he picks out the radishes in the meat. This time he stewed the radishes for a long time, and the radishes absorbed enough juice and became soft and flavorful.
Seeing that the person next to him was picking radishes to eat, Zhou Xing scooped up a large spoonful of meat and put it into his bowl, "Eat more and nod."
"..." Qiao Minglang.

The dishes on the table became less and less, until there was a little soup left in the back, and everyone's stomachs were full.
"I haven't eaten so full for a long time." Qiao Mingyong stood up and loosened his trousers.
Qiao Mingzhong felt the same, "I haven't eaten so full for a long time."
Zhou Xing stretched his muscles, relaxed his waist, and felt that he finally had a full meal, and he didn't know how he got here for the past few days.As soon as he turned his head, he saw the young man beside him looking at him. He grinned and gave the young man a handsome smile.
"..." Qiao Minglang.
After everyone had eaten, washed the pots, pans and chopsticks, and packed up their things, everyone went back together.
The cousins went back to the rented house, and Qiao Minglang went back to school with Zhou Xing.
Before the holiday, they left their bicycles with their cousin, so they could ride back when they went back.Zhou Xing rode a bicycle and took the boy back to school. Instead of going directly to their dormitory, he turned to the playground.
"Why are you here? Aren't we going back to the dormitory?" Qiao Minglang asked after getting off the bicycle.
"Come and run, get active, you ride a bicycle, practice more, you can go outside and get up after you are more familiar." Zhou Xing handed the bicycle to Qiao Minglang and asked him to ride it.
He was still not at ease with Qiao Minglang's driving skills, which was why he didn't let Qiao Minglang ride outside.But they are on the school playground, there will be no other cars, it is safe here, and he is watching from behind, so there is no need to worry about this person falling down.
Even if he falls, he will follow behind to help, right?
Qiao Minglang had no objection to this, took over the car, and got in the car.
He hadn't touched a bicycle for a few days, and he was still a little unskilled. The bike was crooked at first, but the more he rode the better.
Zhou Xing trotted behind the bicycle the boy was riding on, and every time he saw the bicycle was about to fall down, he wanted to rush up to help it.But in the end, he was firmly suppressed by himself, and let the boy explore by himself.
A smile appeared on his face until he saw the young man riding a bicycle skillfully on the track.
The afterglow of the setting sun hit the two teenagers, and there were two long shadows on the ground, reflecting the smiles on their faces, so pure and beautiful...

The holiday is not over yet, only the third graders came back to class early, the first and second graders have not come back yet.But because there are still people living in the dormitory, the door of the dormitory building is open, otherwise they will not be able to enter the dormitory door when they come back to school.
There were not many people in the whole building, and it seemed particularly quiet at night.
Lying on the bed in the dormitory at night, Zhou Xing couldn't fall asleep, so he knocked on the bed and asked, "Are you asleep?"
"Huh?" Qiao Minglang responded aloud, but he didn't fall asleep.
"Do you still want to go to your brother's shop tomorrow? Let's go and play, and I will take you outside to play." The latter sentence is the purpose of Zhou Xing, and he continued to say: "I know there are many interesting places outside. , I'll take you to play."
"You see, you haven't played outside for so long since you came to school. I'll take you outside to find out the way. You'll only know the way when you go outside."
"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Qiao Minglang couldn't help laughing, and said.
"Don't, let's make a deal now, and I'll take you to play tomorrow." Zhou Xing felt that going to that small shop every day was meaningless, and he still had to go there to work and relax occasionally.
He didn't hear the person under the bed answering him, Zhou Xing chuckled, and said on his own initiative: "If you don't speak, it will be regarded as your acquiescence."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, sleep." After taking a car for a long time and being busy for a long time, Qiao Minglang was too tired to talk.
"Oh." Hearing that Qiao Minglang was sleepy, Zhou Xing had no choice but to shut up.
Lying on the bed at night, Qiao Minglang actually couldn't fall asleep. He was thinking about whether the children at home were used to living in their uncles' house.But the children lived in the house of the two uncles, which made him more at ease than living at home.
He just remembered that when they left, he heard the cry from behind, and he knew it was their little treasure who was crying.
Hey... I just don't know if the child will refuse to be hugged by him when he goes back next time.
Thinking of the children at home, he still misses and is reluctant to part with him more.
There were only the two of them in the dormitory, and it was quiet. Zhou Xing lay on the bed and did not fall asleep. Listening to the voices below, he did not hear the sound of the people below turning over, but he was sure that the people below were as well as he was. sleep.
