song called love

There is still one week before the Spring Festival, and Yancheng, a city with a large foreign population, is gradually losing the hustle and bustle of the past.Those who go home, travel and travel, even those who are still sticking to their posts, have no intention of working and have entered the state of vacation early.

At noon that day, Bai Yanlan and Liang Xu played live at Wang Xiaoyi's home. This is Wang Xiaoyi's apartment, located in Hanchao Village.20 years ago, it was still a field of crops. Later, after the conversion from agriculture to non-agriculture, the villagers built buildings, and the land became landlords. Because the location is remote, the rent is cheap. In the early years, many young people who came to Yancheng to pursue their dreams gathered here. Rent a house, especially for art players, bands, painters, and performance artists.

Ten years ago, a nationally famous rock band really flew out. Back then, their songs were played on the loudspeakers of CD players in the streets and alleys. However, the lead singer died in a car accident within a few years, and the band ceased to exist. .According to the local elders, before they became popular, they really committed crimes. During the day, they knocked on the door and didn’t open it, but at night, the sound of drums and guitars made the whole building unable to sleep, especially the broken gong voice of the lead singer. There is phlegm in it.

Later, Koreans and Koreans came here in groups to do business and open restaurants, which boosted the economy of this area, hence the name Hanchao Village.

Until more than ten years ago, after preferential policies allowed some electronic technology companies to settle here, this area gradually became an emerging business district.Different from the low luxury of Financial Road, different from the publicity of CBD, and also different from the impetuousness of Tunli Road, here is more of a sense of technology and concept.

Of course, among these numerous high-tech enterprises, there are also small media companies that Wang Xiaoyi worked hard to manage, so he bought a high-end duplex apartment here, and it takes only 5 minutes to walk to work.

"Are you sure you want to come over on New Year's Eve?" Wang Xiaoyi asked while eating fried chicken.

While operating the controller, Bai Yanlan said: "Didn't my mother and your mother make an appointment to go to Australia to see comrades-in-arms? They will leave in two days. I don't feel like staying at home on New Year's Eve."

"What about your father?" Wang Xiaoyi bit down, and a chicken leg was left with only bones.

"My dad will leave in a few days, so he can't spend the holidays in China. There is a project in New York that is going to be listed, so he went there to watch people beat the gong." Bai Yanlan swiped his left hand, pressed his right hand to shoot, and the ball went in. He said triumphantly: "3 Compared with Lao Liang."

Liang Xu snorted, "I was never used to playing Real Madrid."

Wang Xiaoyi's attention was still on Zhou Jianglin, and he was surprised: "Nasdaq is also ringing the gong? Isn't it ringing the bell?"

"He said it was unlucky to ring the bell, so he brought a gong there." Bai Yanlan kicked off the ball and continued: "So, didn't my parents ask my brother to take good care of me?"

"It's really rich and self-willed." After Wang Xiaoyi sighed, he asked again: "Zhou Han promised to come?"

Bai Yanlan cast a glance at Liang Xu and said, "Of course. By the way, arrange a room for the two of us. I don't want to stare at him!"

Wang Xiaoyi said he understood, and asked Liang Xu, "What about you? How many people?"

After stoppage time, Liang Xu lost to Bai Yanlan 1-4. Bai Yanlan was so happy that he fell down on the sofa with a "yo roar".

Liang Xu threw the handle and said, "Three people."

"Three people?" Bai Yanlan sat up and asked with her eyes wide open, "Is your operation a bit flirty!"

Liang Xu was irritable: "No! And An Yinxuan's brother!"

Wang Xiaoyi clicked his tongue and said: "My dear brother, you are too ruthless, I understand, I understand, can I arrange a king size for you? No matter how big it is, it can only be tatami."

"..." Liang Xu Wu fuck said.

Bai Yanlan laughed so hard that she covered her belly and curled up into a ball, and said, "Don't bully him, he's already miserable. Hahaha. I've seen his younger brother, and he seems to be accusing patients."

"What what? So exciting?" Wang Xiaoyi asked gossipingly, "How did you see it?"

"They happened to be sitting next to me during the New Year's concert. His younger brother looks pretty good, but..." Bai Yanlan raised the corners of his eyes with two index fingers, and said, "Just looking at people like this, he doesn't have a good temper, Bai Yanlan Blind the face of an angel."

"That's right, An Yinxuan's appearance should not be much different from his younger brother." Wang Xiaoyi's attention was always on strange places.

Liang Xu picked out the takeaways on the table, they were all fried chicken and beer, and he didn't see a single vegetable.He pays attention to his figure, unlike Wang Xiaoyi who let himself go wild with Haisai, and finally picked a piece of chicken wing that was not fried very thickly and gnawed on it.

"I asked him to come out on New Year's Eve, and he said that he had to take his brother with him wherever he went. Thinking about it, his brother looks tall and big, but he is actually a teenage student. It's not good to leave him alone at home. year, so I said let’s come together.”

Wang Xiaoyi asked again: "How about your parents this year?"

"At the Spring Festival Gala, there was a recitation program, and we went to the rehearsal together yesterday." Liang Xu said while eating, "Then my mother flew to Australia early the next morning to meet your mother and Sister Qingyi."

Bai Yanlan sighed: "It seems that all the families will not be able to reunite this year."

"I always feel that this year's Spring Festival I can smell the atmosphere of unrest." Wang Xiaoyi said.

This is the last holiday of An Jun's high school career. Unlike public schools, private schools are entering the final sprint stage, and the number of students attending classes has decreased.All the exams are over, now the most important thing is to study English for IELTS, TOEFL, and try to take one or two courses in the preparatory course.

It was almost noon when An Yinxuan just got up. Last night Liang Xu came to the bar to cheer him on, so he went home late.The younger brother was sitting at the desk reading a book. He picked up a stack of papers on the desk sleepily and asked, "Is this the paper from the High School Affiliated to Qingwen University?"

"Hmm." An Jun took the paper and sorted it out on the table, closed the book and said, "What do you want for lunch?"

"Not hungry yet." He yawned lazily: "Do you want to apply for any university? Which city in country A are you planning to go to?"

"L city, apply for UCLA and USC." An Jun said.

"It's very good. You don't need to change planes when you return to China, and there are many Chinese there." He remembered the TOEFL and asked, "Have you passed the English test?"

"I finished the exam last summer." An Jun closed the book he just read, and tidied up the desk.

An Yinxuan suddenly regained consciousness: "Why didn't I hear you say it? How was the exam? How many points?"

An Jun looked up at him: "106. Didn't I say that?"

"No." He opened his eyes wide, threw himself into his younger brother's arms, hugged his head and kissed him on the cheek.

An Jun's face instantly turned pink, rubbing his cheek with the back of his hand, and said in disbelief: "Brother! What are you doing?!"

"Does your score mean that you don't need to study for preparatory courses?" This is the happiest thing for him during this period, happier than earning 20 in a row.

An Jun didn't expect that his brother, who is usually calm, would be so happy, and he was a little embarrassed, and said, "It should be, it has passed the language requirements of the two schools I've seen."

He stroked An Jun's forehead and said, "I knew my brother was the best, and I knew it."

An Jun sat at the desk, looked out the window and suddenly said, "Brother, let's go see her together, it's almost Chinese New Year."

An Yinxuan froze for a moment, stood up and looked at her younger brother, her smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a gloomy one.

An Jun changed his words and said: "I can go by myself, the main thing is whether I have to renew the fee before the Spring Festival."

An Yinxuan didn't speak, and went to the bathroom. After a while, the sound of the shower came, so he had no choice but to go to the kitchen and make breakfast for his brother while sighing.

After An Jun fried the egg and baked two slices of bread, An Yinxuan came out wet. He entered the bedroom and began to rummage through the cabinets. Finally, he took something similar to an access card and threw it on the table.

It read: Yongle Nursing Home - Family Card.

An Jun carefully put the card in his trouser pocket, An Yinxuan sandwiched the fried egg between the bread, squeezed some mayonnaise inside, and started to eat.

"Let's go together after I finish eating." An Yinxuan said helplessly.

An Jun hummed and didn't insist anymore.

The two first bought a snack box and some fruit when they went out. An Yinxuan called an online car-hailing car. There were very few cars on the eve of the festival, and the two waited for a long time before someone took the order.Sitting in the car, An Jun touched his brother's hand and warmed him up.

Driving all the way to the west, Yongle Nursing Home is a place where you have to pay ten yuan to get there by taking the expressway.It took almost an hour to get to the gate. He was afraid that he would not be able to get a car for the return journey, so he said to the driver: "Master, we have to go back to the city. You might as well wait for us here if you drive back empty-handed. We can finish the job in half an hour. "

The driver made this big order, and he was easy to talk to: "Alright, please leave me a phone number, don't worry, it will be fine within an hour."

This nursing home is located in a wild park in the suburbs. The two passed the gold-lettered plaque of "Yongle Park".Walking along the long promenade, there are dead branches and fallen leaves on both sides. It is very quiet here, only an old man who cleans is sweeping the floor every now and then.

Every time An Yinxuan walks this road, he feels a heavy suffocation. He has resistance to everything here, and every cell is resisting.

During this period, An Jun kept holding his brother's hand and holding him, just like when he was a child, his brother held him to protect himself from being bullied by big children.

An iron fence gate stood at the end of the road. An Jun showed his family ID card to the security guard. When he entered, he could see three low buildings arranged in a C shape, with a square in the middle and some exercise facilities.

Entering the inner building, in front of the nurse's station, a very senior nurse put on glasses and stared at them for a long time, then recognized An Jun, and said, "Xiao An is here again, what a coincidence, the nurse took the baby who just walked around Come back, you should be in the room right now, go quickly."

An Jun exchanged a few words of thanks.

There are very few people in this nursing home. Except for the hospice care building far behind the C building, the rest are basically patients with inconvenient legs and feet or who are unconscious.Levels are also divided into those who can take care of themselves and those who cannot take care of themselves, conscious and unconscious.

The 3rd floor they are going to treat patients who have no self-awareness, so it is quieter, because some people have been lying in bed for many years without waking up.

In the long and narrow corridor, An Yinxuan suddenly asked, "Are you familiar with the nurse at the door?"

"Not familiar." An Jun said firmly.

What his brother meant was to ask him if he often came here behind his back, An Jun would never admit it, otherwise An Yinxuan would really get angry.

Walking to the door of room 3012, I could vaguely hear the sound of the TV program inside.An Jun pushed open the door, and a middle-aged woman with a very pretty face was sitting in the wheelchair.

"mom."

An Jun said: "My brother and I came to see you."

"You guys come to see her! Yong Ni is doing really well today." The nurse came out of the bathroom with a hot towel and said with a smile, "I took her for a walk today and saw a stray cat running by the side of the road, she told me Cat! Cat! Very happy."

Jiang Yongni's eyes never left the TV. Although the facial features are beautiful, it is not difficult to find that those eyes are dull.

The nurse came forward to wipe Jiang Yongni's hands, and said with a smile, "Maybe I can recognize someone in two days."

An Yinxuan sat silently on the small sofa next to the nursing bed, looking at her phone.

An Jun handed the snacks and fruit to the nurse, and said, "Auntie, my mother can't eat alone, so you can eat together, you're welcome."

The nurse was very happy, and took the basin to wash the fruit.

An Jun squatted in front of the wheelchair, pulled up the blanket on Jiang Yongni's lap, and said, "Mom, the holiday is coming soon, brother bought you your favorite jujube paste shortbread this time, you should eat more."

"It's cold now, so you should add an extra coat when you go out." An Jun said to himself, without expecting any feedback: "I will graduate in a few months, and I will be a college student after the summer."

Listening to his ramblings, this is An Jun who An Yinxuan doesn't understand. The younger brother has always cherished words like gold, but now he talks about his family's shortcoming incessantly.

"I'll go to the nurse's station to renew the fee." An Yinxuan got up and went out. He really didn't want to face his mother for too long. He hated and felt sad.

When he closed the door, there were only An Jun and Jiang Yongni. An Jun looked into his mother's eyes and confided, "Mom, will you be very angry when you say that I will not go to a foreign university and take the college entrance examination in China?"

"I will." An Jun already had the answer in his heart, "But I can't leave him, not only because of the money, but because I'm too worried that he's alone, I only have him now, I can't afford the risk .”

"I've already made up my mind. I'm going to be admitted to the finance department of Qingwen University. There's a mentor I respect there." An Jun heard footsteps in the corridor, and didn't know if it was his brother or the nurse, and quickly added: "Brother I participated in a singing talent show last month, the audition has passed, let's pray and bless him, and get a satisfactory ranking. Brother really likes to sing..."

The door was pushed open, and the nurse came in with two plates of grapes, and said, "Come on, let me feed your mother, you can eat this plate by yourself, it's all cleaned."

When An Yinxuan came in, Jiang Yongni was already lying on the bed and fell asleep, her face was pale, like a sculpture, beautiful but lifeless.

"Brother, let's go." An Jun got up and said.

An Yinxuan put a bottle of mineral water that he tied into a "little tie" on the bedside table, took 1000 yuan from his pocket and gave it to the nurse, who refused twice before accepting it.Although the recuperation fee here includes the cost of the nursing staff, but if you give more money, they can be more careful.

"Mom, then I'll see you later." An Jun said "I" instead of "we".

An Yinxuan put on her coat and walked out of the nursing home side by side with An Jun, without saying a word to her mother from the beginning to the end.

On the way back, An Jun tactfully didn't mention Jiang Yongni again, but after a while, An Yinxuan spoke first: "Shall we go to the hot spring together during the Spring Festival?"

Without thinking about it, An Jun agreed: "Okay." Then he said obediently: "I heard from my classmates that there is a very good resort in the east, with outdoor private soup. Let me see if I can book it now." Get out your phone.

"It's already booked." He covered An Jun's screen with his hand, "Liang Xu invited us to go."

An Jun frowned when he heard the name, and asked warily, "What's the number?"

"Stay on New Year's Eve until the third day, three nights." An Yinxuan asked, "Do you have any other arrangements?"

An Jun thought that his brother was too cunning, no wonder he agreed to visit his mother together, which would make him feel guilty, and when he mentioned the hot spring, he couldn't say "no" anyway. .What's more, he can't let his brother and Liang Xu go on vacation and open a house, absolutely not.

An Jun bit the bullet and replied, "No, let's go together."

An Yinxuan actually agreed to go to the appointment with An Jun when Liang Xu called to propose.On the one hand, it’s not easy to refuse people’s kindness again and again. During this time, Liang Xu is different from before. He doesn’t always drag him to open a room. He finds it funny that he either delivers food with human flesh, or brings ingredients to cook, and washes and tidies up for him after eating, without leaving any trace of his past.

On the other hand, he also wants to take his younger brother out to relax, because next year, he will face 10,000+ a year for An Jun to study abroad. He really has no spare time to allocate more money for travel or entertainment. Why not promise this time? Liang Xu fell in love.

He had ten thousand ways to get An Jun to agree, but now he used the one he didn't want to touch, which was to make his younger brother feel guilty.

In fact, he no longer has any extreme emotions towards his mother. Four years later, Jiang Yongni is still like this now, and he has nothing to hate anymore.He and An Jun were able to survive the most difficult time back then, and now life is smooth and orderly, and there is no need to dwell on the past. Everything has become history, which cannot be changed, but it can be indifferent.

An Yinxuan admitted that she was a little angry today, not because An Jun brought him to see her mother, but because her younger brother secretly came so many times before without telling him.He has to face the reality that An Jun will be an adult soon, and he is no longer the tall but timid child hiding behind him. He has his own thoughts and secrets that he doesn't want to share.In a few months they'll be separated, and probably not as close as they used to be.

He is psychologically lost, but he can't show it, so that An Jun is reluctant to leave, and he can't be so selfish.In the future, An Jun will become an adult who can take care of himself, meet wonderful women, form a family, have children, and be happy.He just needs to guard him from afar and let him fly.

The Spring Festival is approaching day by day, and Yancheng is about to enter the most depressed time with the least people.Brother Yu is going to the island for vacation, and the bar is also closed. It won't open until after the Lantern Festival, so An Yinxuan is also forced to take a vacation during this period.

His rest day is very simple, he sleeps until he wakes up naturally, and then takes An Jun to an Internet celebrity shop to queue up to buy a cup of milk tea. He only eats two meals a day, one meal is settled outside, and An Jun cooks one meal.Because he earned two big tickets before, he has achieved his goal this year, and he feels relatively relaxed and enjoys this kind of life.Eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.

Liang Xu texted and called him every day, and waited for him downstairs at night. The two of them took a walk along Tunli Road, or looked at the lanterns on the road, as if they were in love.He thinks this is also good, no alcohol, no sex, just chatting.Liang Xu is a very interesting person, he can talk about work matters, and tell all the difficult problems in cross talk, which made him laugh.

This is probably the most relaxed day for An Yinxuan in recent years.

After a few days of silence, New Year's Eve finally arrived as scheduled.
