Lin Guodong pushed his classic roadster bicycle, and Li Xiangyang, his steps a bit unsteady, followed them out the door. Dizzily, he settled onto the bicycle's rear rack.
Lin Lan had Little Douzi climb onto the front bar of her bicycle to sit, then pedaled off with him toward Yucai Road.
Little Douzi held onto the handlebars and glanced at Li Xiangyang on the bicycle ahead. He turned his head uneasily and asked, "Mom, will Uncle Xiangyang hit people?"
He remembered his own father being just like this after drinking—unable to walk steadily, squinting at people with narrowed eyes.
Seeing his uneasy expression, Lin Lan paused for a moment before she remembered Yang Guangming, who had a habit of hitting people when he was drunk.
She lowered her head to kiss the top of his, then said softly, "Don't worry, sweetie. He won't. Uncle Xiangyang doesn't hit people."
Li Xiangyang rarely drank. Even on the occasions he came home having had drinks for business, he would just go to sleep.
