One city one love

"I remember that summer, when I was just in the third year of high school, my parents were very happy that I was admitted to the key class. That was indeed something to be happy about..."

It was the age when Lin Yi was supposed to grow up rebelliously. He was just in his third year of high school, and he was in the prime of his youth, but a sudden and huge change forced him to shed his green and immature skin and put on a fragile and strong one.

Lin Yi, who has just entered the third year of high school, is under a lot of pressure from studying, and he is unable to care about what is happening at home, especially as the evening self-study is getting later and later. When he comes home every day, he basically only leaves a light at home for him.

At that time, Mother Lin's legs and feet were still good. She usually went to work in a small workshop nearby. After get off work in the evening, she would go to the kindergarten to pick up Lin Tong, who was only two years old, and then went to buy vegetables and cook.

Lin's father works as an ordinary white-collar worker in a small private enterprise with a dead salary. Although the family is not rich, but the house they live in is left by the grandparents, and the money they earn is enough to eat, and their lives are not bad. full.

Lin Yi's studies are too heavy. He didn't know that his father was fired by the company he had been working hard for nearly ten years. The reason was because he had been doing nothing for many years and had no self-motivation. The weak reason made Lin's father feel that his dignity had been insulted. He was furious and went to the company again and again to make trouble, but was repeatedly beaten by the security guards and kicked out.

Father Lin didn't dare to let his family know that he had lost his job. Every day he said that he went to work but was actually looking for a job. When asked by his wife about the injury on his face, he lied to her that he had fallen.But Lin's father, whose educational background is as plain as water, couldn't find a job at all. When he was desperate, he met a passer-by who claimed to be a junior high school classmate who said he could make him rich. Whether it is his junior high school classmate, but desperate, he can only follow with the attitude of giving it a try.

Gambling, this is a destructive project that if you are addicted to it, unless you are a real gambler alive, it will only go bankrupt.

At the beginning, Father Lin was wary of taking a small test and accepting it when he was good, but when he won several times and took a lot of money home to his wife, the surprised and pleasant tone and eyes of his wife supported him. Belonging to a man's self-esteem, he lied to his wife that the money was a reward red envelope from the company for seeing him do a good job, while entering that dark and gloomy underground casino time and time again.

He was addicted to alcohol, and he always drank a lot of wine when he gambled every day. He was so drunk that he was full of alcohol, and he always fell asleep as soon as he got home.Lin's mother thought that her husband had been promoted recently and socialized more, and she just changed his drunken clothes, wiped his body and took care of him to sleep.

But what a wonderful thing gambling is.The black-box operation was running silently in this dirty underground casino. Father Lin began to lose money. It was hundreds of hundreds at the beginning.Until he wins or loses, and loses, he spends all the private money he secretly saved, and he starts to ask his wife for money. From the beginning of making up all kinds of reasons for the AA system for colleagues to have dinner, and then directly swearing at each other and taking his wife away Taking money from the wallet, and then getting drunk, he accidentally beat his wife who had been dependent on him for more than ten years because he asked for money and his wife refused.

There is only one incident of domestic violence, and one hundred times.

Lin's father began to beat his wife violently because he couldn't get the money, even ignoring his two-year-old son, he grabbed his wife's hair in front of the crying child and forced her to hand over the family passbook .

Lin Yi knew that when his mother was domestically abused, it was a day when there was a power outage in the whole school area. The school notified the cancellation of evening self-study, and all the students went home. Lin Yi was no exception. While walking home, he happily dialed I was on my mother's phone and wanted to tell my mother that I would have dinner with my family today, but the phone was always in a state of no one answering.

When he walked downstairs, he heard the sound of things being smashed on the ground. He saw the aunts who had opened the door and chatted all closed the door with sullen faces.

As soon as Lin walked to the door of the house, he found that the noise was coming from his own house. He hurriedly took out the key and opened the door, just in time to see his father dragging his mother who was curled up on the ground with his feet. He was stunned, followed by disbelief, and then anger. He rushed forward and pushed his father who had lost his mind, helped up his mother who was kicked into the corner and trembled, and said with concern, "Mom... What's wrong?"

Mother Lin kept shaking her head. She pushed the eldest son's thin body in school uniform, with tears of despair on his face, "Don't ask Yiyi, go back to your room..."

"Damn it, how dare you push me!" Father Lin stood up from the ground with his red eyes, and he felt ashamed when he was pushed away by his son and fell to the ground. He was about to hit Lin Yi with a punch. On the body, Lin's mother could only cry and hug Lin Yi's body and hid it in her arms to protect it.

"You're still protecting him! He beat me! You're still protecting him!" Mother Lin's actions got her father to beat her up even more. Lin Yi was protected by his mother in his arms, and when he heard the man's The sound of fists hitting his mother, he didn't understand what happened for a moment, he only heard Qian, his father was crazy, but he couldn't let his crazy father beat his poor mother to death.

Lin Yi broke free from his mother's arms, met his father's fist head-on, and hit his shoulder forcefully, making a muffled sound. He was in excruciating pain, but before he could react, he went crazy His father's fists came to Lin Yi's body one after another. Lin Yi held back the pain and stretched out his fists to fight with the crazy father. For a while, the father and son waved their fists at each other, hitting each other's flesh and blood.

"You wait for me! Bitch!" Father Lin finally couldn't resist the pain and flinched. He pointed his finger at Lin Yi viciously and threatened, then ran away limping and grinning.

Later, Lin Yi voluntarily applied to the class teacher not to participate in the evening self-study. He went home on time after class every day to watch over his mother and younger brother, hoping that his father would stop getting drunk, gamble, come home to ask for money, and stop beating anyone. .But dreams are always dreams, and the cruel reality has not changed anything.

Lin Yi basically had to confront the madman's father every other day. Sometimes he was beaten badly, and sometimes it was the man who was beaten badly, but most of the time both sides suffered and maintained most of the situation.Every time Lin's father finally left after quarreling and fighting, Lin's mother would silently release the crying heart-piercing Lin Tong from the bedroom, hug the crying little man and apply some simple wound medicine for the eldest son.

"I thought this kind of life would last forever." Lin Yi held his lover's hand, feeling the heat from his palm, and said with a smile, "Until that day, there is only one week left before the end of the first half of the third year of high school." when……"

That day, Lin Yi returned home after class as usual, only to find his mother and younger brother standing downstairs, surrounded by piles of messy luggage. White snow.

"Yiyi, we have no place to live..." Mother Lin saw her eldest son returning from school with his schoolbag on his back from a distance. She looked desperately at the slightly dilapidated small building behind her. This is where they lived for more than ten years. The home of the year is gone.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Lin Yi asked repeatedly as if he didn't understand.

"We don't have a home! The house was sold by your vicious father!"

What a shocking news, when my mother was still wrapped in plaster because of that man's beating, in this cold winter when the snow just fell, their house was sold, how ridiculous and pitiful.

"We lived a wandering life like this. I applied for an early exam, and went to work as a winter vacation worker, a dishwasher, McDonald's KFC, serving food in a hotel, and chopping vegetables in the back kitchen. I have done all of them. When I was frozen to death, I rented a small one-bedroom apartment, with only one room and one toilet, it was too small." Lin Yi tremblingly grasped Su Cheng's palm, and pinched it until the blood was congested. Buried in the bottom of my heart, now I'm pulling away layer by layer.

Su Cheng could only let the little guy pinch his palm hard, he hated why he was in a public place where people came and went, why not at home, so that he could hug the painful little guy without any scruples, Instead of being afraid of other people's eyes hurting the fragile Lin Yi.

"It's okay! Now I'm doing fine! I'll let him get the punishment he deserves!" Lin Yi pulled himself out of the past memories, smiled and let go of his lover, and was gently stroked by his already congested hand .

"Okay! I'll help you!"

In the crowded airport, Lin Yi and Su Cheng smiled at each other, they both saw the determination in each other's eyes, and they believed that in a few hours, this determination would be implemented into practical actions.
