Chapter 64: Turn off the light for me.

Dinner at Cheng Ming’s house on weekends was usually late. On the one hand, it was because Cheng Ming did not want to rush to his evening study sessions, and on the other hand, Cheng Hongyuan would go home for dinner if he did not have a particularly important meal.

Cheng Ming just arrived home, his sister head into his arms, caught off guard Cheng Ming almost did not stand still, almost pushed to the ground by his sister.

“Pfft ……”

“Thanks for knowing to come back!”

“Where else can I go if I don’t come back?” Cheng Ming said with a bitter smile.

When Cheng Li inhaled her nose, she smelled the stench of cigarette smoke on Cheng Ming’s body, pinched her little nose, and disgustedly pushed Cheng Ming’s body away and asked, “Why do you smell so bad? Did you go to that dirty and messy black internet cafe.”

“Uh-huh.”

Anyway, it’s better to say that going to one of those dark internet cafes can be better than a casino.

“I knew it, so hurry up and get in the shower and get changed, don’t let dad smell it or he’ll think you’re stealing cigarettes and you’ll be screwed.”

“Yes yes yes.”

After Cheng Ming finished his shower, his dad was already sitting in his usual spot, and the family moved their chopsticks to eat without waiting for him.

The low status of the family is such.

Cheng Ming picked up his bowl and chopsticks and asked absently as he chucked food into his mouth, “Dad, have you settled the wages of the group of workers under you?”

“Why are you asking this? You just concentrate on your studies, you don’t need to worry about grown-up things.”

“Ah, that, it’s just that recently I’ve seen a lot of news about workers asking for wages, pulling banners, and those who are going to jump off buildings, it’s scary.” Cheng Ming didn’t beat around the bush and spoke openly, fearing that his dad hadn’t noticed this aspect.

“I’ve also heard of it, every year before the New Year there is a lot of trouble, this is only the middle of the year, the wages that can be settled are settled, lest at the end of the year there is no money, to pay back the bank’s interest, the company’s year-end awards, shareholders’ dividends, etc., how much can be left for the workers?”

“Pay half owed half, so that the foreman to find a way to pad a little, you just came out of the City Construction Bureau when the foreman of the Spring Festival, remember how to get through it? Borrowing money, or borrowing money, borrowing money to advance the wages of the workers, payroll discussions for half a year to get the money to pay off the debt, now when the boss, forget when the workers when the foreman of the bitter? You can’t forget your roots, Cheng Hongyuan.”

Cheng Ming stopped interjecting, buried his head and ate, disliking his dad or letting his professional mom come, this is said word for word, even he could hardly listen to it.

“But we usually settle at the end of the year, otherwise we’d have cash flow problems in the company.”

“Rules are dead, people are alive, are you a boss or not, don’t be a boss if you’re not boss material, lest you go bankrupt and drag me and my kids down.”

“I ……” Cheng Hongyuan was momentarily speechless.

“Is this another attempt to say that I, a woman, don’t know what I’m talking about if I don’t know what I’m talking about? If you’re not anxious to make money, do you still need to worry about cash flow? Aren’t you afraid that the good land will be auctioned off by your rivals at a good price? Don’t sell the house in the future, speculate on the land on the line, when I let you loan a little less money, don’t push yourself and the company too tight, you don’t listen, hard to walk the tightrope to wrestle a wave of big, the result of the whole day without regard to the family, live in or this house, and didn’t give me a penny more, in the end, what’s the figure of a.”

Crap, at this pace ……

“Cheng Ming, how are your grades these days? I heard your mom say that you haven’t been home every day lately, running around blindly.”

If you can’t beat Mom, Dad will take him as a soft touch.

“Just finished the monthly exam, the results are not out yet, but I should be able to get over one hundred and forty in math and English.” Cheng Ming said conservatively, if he said he could get a perfect score, he would definitely think he was bragging.

“Isn’t your English only at 80 or 90 points? How did you get so high? Did you cheat? It’s not even a midterm, what do you have to cheat for.”

“No, I recently met a foreign netizen, every day and he communicated in English, my English level skyrocketed, vocabulary greatly increased, reading comprehension and what not can understand, do you want me to give you a paragraph or two of English?”

In fact, Cheng Ming’s spoken English is quite fragmented, and his pronunciation is not standardized. However, his parents’ English was not good either, and his father knew a little Russian, so he could make up a few sentences at random without revealing his identity.

“All eat well and stop chatting.” Lai Ying said with a hammer.

After dinner, Mom went to wash the dishes, but Dad turned on the movie channel to start watching anti-war movies, the TV sound is also turned on very loud, all the bullets shooting sound.

Cheng Li, who had no TV to watch, had to kill time in Cheng Ming’s room.

Cheng Li, who was holding the handle, rolled around on the bed with his bones and said, “Brother, come and play the game with me, I’m playing alone so no boredom.”

“I’m busy.”

“Aren’t you too busy playing on the computer? Come keep me company!”

Cheng Li’s legs clamped down on Cheng Ming’s waist, trying to drag him, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, down onto the bed.

It was naturally impossible to drag Cheng Ming with just her sister’s strength.

But Cheng Ming cooperated by leaning back and pressing his back against his sister.

“You’re so heavy, I’m going to be squashed by you, get up.” Cheng Li said as she pushed Cheng Ming’s back, but couldn’t push at all.

“I’m stuck to your body, I can’t get up.” Cheng Ming mimicked his sister’s tone.

Cheng Li said without any intuition, “I’m not a candy, where am I sticky.”

You’re not sugar, but you’re sweeter and stickier than sugar.

“Brother, if you don’t get up, I’m going to tickle you.” Cheng Li put in a harsh word and said.

“Come on, I happen to be a little itchy.”

“Watch the move watch the move.”

Cheng Li’s small hands strayed to Cheng Ming’s flanks and armpits, it wasn’t that there was no effect at all, it’s just that Cheng Ming’s expression management had already reached the peak of excellence, and he wouldn’t be able to laugh easily.

“It’s my turn next.”

Cheng Ming rolled up and blew a counterattack.

Cheng Li’s armpits and side waist were much more sensitive compared to Cheng Ming’s, and when he touched them, he bent over a bit.

At first, he was still trying to hold back his laughter, but the speed of Cheng Ming’s hand, touching Cheng Li, quickly broke his power and let out a silver bell-like clear laughter.

Under Cheng Ming’s offense like a tidal wave, Cheng Li laughed so hard that he was a little out of breath, and in his excitement, he didn’t pay attention to the bottom of his foot and kicked the handle line.

The game console was pulled, causing the power cord to come loose, and the screen of the TV turned into a myriad of snowflake dots, emitting a murmur of noise.

The door to the room was suddenly opened, and Lai Ying admonished, “You two, even if you don’t want to go to class tomorrow, don’t play too crazy and go to bed early.”

Cheng Ming and Cheng Li sat squarely on the bed, putting on a well-behaved appearance and responding in unison, “Yes.”

“It’s all brother’s fault.” Cheng Li, who still had a red flush on her face, kicked Cheng Ming and said.

“Why are you blaming me again? Obviously you wanted to play first, right?”

“I don’t care I don’t care, it’s your fault for not knowing to give in to me.”

Cheng Ming smiled as he went to plug in the game console and pressed the reset button, and a clear picture reappeared on the screen.

Said he was only going to play with his sister for a little while, but ended up hitting her directly until she was weary.

Cheng Li rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned.

“Ri, go back to your room and sleep if you’re sleepy.”

“No, I’ll sleep here.” Cheng Li threw away the handle and rolled directly into the comforter.

“We’re too old to keep sleeping together, understand?”

Otherwise, you have to indulge your sister all the time, you have to get along like a normal brother and sister.

Cheng Li beamed and asked back, “Didn’t we sleep together last night? Why not tonight?”

“That’s because Jing Jing slept at our house last night… We don’t have enough beds at our house, and you didn’t want to sleep with her, so that’s why I made do with you for the night.”

“But we usually sleep together, too.”

“So to change from now on, you will soon be a junior high school student, I will soon be a high school student, junior high school students still sleep with older brother will be laughed at by classmates oh.”

“Hmph, it’s not like my classmates know I sleep with my brother, wait until I’m a middle schooler.”

“Are you even listening to me!”

“Brother, turn off the light for me, I’m going to sleep, hiss yah ……”

After making an adorable noise, Cheng Li cuddled her new favorite little shark and slept with her eyes closed and head cocked.

“Ugh ……” Cheng Ming scratched his hair out a sigh, or honestly turn off the lights.

Let’s carry your sister back to her room later when she’s deep in sleep.

Although hugging Xiao Li to sleep was very comfortable and even a bit addictive. But for safety’s sake, and in order not to repeat the same mistake, Cheng Ming also had to hurry up and quit this addiction that wasn’t really an addiction.

Otherwise it’s not going to be good, really not good, when Ri gets a little older.
