In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Shifu came to the door of his third brother's dilapidated room.

Thinking of his father and mother's words, he sighed and knocked gently on the door that was in disrepair, but did not hear any response.

The mistress is not in the room? Why is there no response to such a loud voice?

Unable to help but feel doubts, Su Shifu carefully opened the door and walked into this strange but familiar space.

The room was dilapidated and looked like a corner forgotten by time.

The dilapidated furniture was arranged in a messy manner, and the soil on the soil wall had slowly fallen off, revealing the dim soil.

The dim candlelight emanated from a shaky candle, reflecting the desolation of the entire room.

Su Shifu's eyes fell on the bed, and he saw a decadent figure huddled in the corner.

He carefully observed the miserable state of his third brother. He was in debt due to gambling and had one of his hands chopped off.

The body and bed were messy, the face was dirty, and there was a sour smell. It looked like it had not been taken care of for an unknown period of time, which made people feel sad.

Su Shichang was sleeping deeply and was completely unaware of Su Shifu's arrival.

Su Shifu walked to his third brother's bed, knelt down and patted his shoulder gently, "Little San, wake up quickly. This is the first day of the Lunar New Year. How can you live so decadently?" His voice was full of emotion. Concern and comfort.

Su Shichang suddenly woke up from his sleep and looked at Su Shifu in front of him in confusion. His eyes revealed despair and helplessness, as if he had lost all confidence in life.

"Brother, are you back?" His voice was a little hoarse, like regret swallowed by time.

Su Shifu patted his back gently and said softly: "Yes, I came back to hear what my parents said about last year, so I came to see you. Are you okay?"

The third brother smiled bitterly, "I'm okay, brother.

It’s just that I really didn’t know what to do when I couldn’t repay the debt. Later, one of my hands was cut off. Now I really regret why I got involved in those things in the first place. "

Su Shifu stared at his third brother, his heart filled with guilt.

He knew that he had allowed his third brother to indulge in gambling and failed to stop it in time, which led to the current tragedy.

He sighed deeply and said: "Xiaosan, I was sorry for you before. It was my family and I who failed to stop our losses in time, spoiled you, and put you in this situation.

But now that things have happened, life still has to go on, right?

Mistress, we still have parents! And you are still so young, you cannot continue to be decadent. "

Su Shichang's eyes turned red when he heard his elder brother's words. He didn't expect that his elder brother would care about him so much and decided to help him out of the predicament.

"Brother, I've thought about it a lot this year. I found out that I was terribly wrong, and my family was broken up because of what I did. I swear I will never gamble again." Su Shichang's voice was full of determination and regret.

Su Shifu held his third brother's hand, with a warm light shining in his eyes, "Third brother, starting from today, we will live a good life together again.

Brother believes that you can get rid of your gambling addiction and regain your life.

Now let's get up, clean up, and go out to spend some time with mom and dad, okay?

Nowadays, this home is deserted and miserable. The eldest brother can see that they are really lonely. "

"Brother, I know I was wrong. I will live a good life in the future." Smelling the sour smell on his body, he felt a little embarrassed and wanted to bury himself.

Su Shichang lay quietly on the bed, staring at the old adobe house, but his thoughts were lost in memories.

In that gamble more than half a year ago, he lost everything and owed a lot of debt. He only got a broken hand in exchange.

Since then, he has lost his self-confidence, friends, and even himself.

Sunlight shone into the room through the curtains, and the candlelight warmed the messy room. Su Shifu felt a pain in his heart when he looked at his messy brother.

He knew that his younger brother had been living in the shadows, silent and decadent.

Now that he has decided to change his ways and be a good person, he, the elder brother, is also very happy for him.

"Xiao San, it's best for you to think this way. Get up and clean up first. My parents are waiting for us to go to pay New Year's greetings." Su Shifu said softly.

Su Shichang didn't answer, just continued to stare at the soil embryo room silently.

He was conflicted in his heart. He knew he needed to change, but he didn't have the courage to face his broken self.

"Xiaosan, you know, our parents have been worried about you. They don't blame you, they just hope you can get back on your feet."

Su Shisheng paused and continued: "We are family, we must support each other and go through difficulties together."

These warm words touched Su Shichang's heart, and the corners of his eyes became moist. He sat up from the bed, looking at his dirty appearance, and suddenly felt ashamed.

He knew he could no longer dwell on his past failures and self-pity.

"Brother, you go and spend time with your parents first. I will take care of myself and spend a good New Year with them." Su Shichang's voice was a little vicissitudes of life, but there was a hint of determination in it.

Su Shisheng looked at his determined brother with a trace of relief in his eyes. He knew that Su Shichang had finally found his direction.

"Okay! Brother, let's go out first. Come out as soon as you finish packing."

Su Shichang watched his elder brother leave, quickly got up and walked to the old mirror, looking at his dirty self.

He picked up the knife, shaved off the beard that had grown over the past few months, and washed away the dirt on his face.

He combed his messy hair vigorously, and when he saw that it was really dirty, Su immediately took a cold shower, which made him grit his teeth and tremble all over.

But thinking of the stench emanating from his body, he insisted on washing himself from head to toe.

I wiped my whole body clean, picked out a pair of old clothes that I had never worn before, put on a set of clean and tidy clothes and went to the mirror.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Su Shichang felt a long-lost confidence.

He hadn't seen such a clean self for a long time. It had been too long.

He knows that in order to live a good life, he must first change himself.

He walked out of the room and stepped into the yard of his home. The father and mother were sitting there, and Su Shichang saw their faces filled with joy.

He stepped forward with tears in his eyes and hugged them tightly.

"Mom and Dad, Happy New Year! I will live a good life in the future and give you a stable old age." Su Shichang's voice revealed firmness and determination.

The parents looked at the strong son in front of them, tears welling up in their eyes. They knew that Su Shichang had found the meaning of life and found himself.

The eldest brother saw the decision in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his fat face.
