Xia Bao

When the phone was connected, the voice over there had a soft tone of Wu Nong's, and it was Qin Xia's roommate.

Hearing that Qin Xia was not in the dormitory when he was going to self-study, Qin Feng was very disappointed. The words he had arranged along the way had no way out, and he was dejected after being squeezed.

"Oh, it's okay, then I'll hit...me later? I'm Qin Feng...it's Qin Xia's—brother..."

Wu Nong's soft language on the phone suddenly raised a scale, not to Qin Feng: "Why are you back again?"

Faintly, the familiar voice came over: "I forgot to bring my Walkman...English..."

"Your brother's phone is just right for you." The phone rang a few times, and the receiver changed hands: "Xiao Feng?"

Qin Feng hummed, feeling a little inexplicably wronged.

"What's the matter? Is something wrong?" Qin Xia's voice could not be heard to be angry, as if those emotions were all guesses by Qin Feng, and he couldn't count them.

"I," Qin Feng hated Mojiji's indecision the most in his life, but today he became such a specimen by himself: "I'm fine...Look, I remember your number, and I haven't lost it." Stupid.

Qin Xia chuckled: "Just to prove that you didn't lose my number and called back? You really..." He didn't say what it was, and Qin Feng knew it wouldn't be a good word.

"I'm sorry." The apology began, and the rest of the words went much smoother: "I didn't mean to ask you to raise money just now, I know you are not that kind of person. My dad always praised you, saying that you are humane, A good boy."

The other side of the phone turned into a smiling spring breeze again: "Really? Then thank Uncle Qin for his praise on my behalf."

Qin Xia smiled, and Qin Feng also relaxed. He smiled and said, "I wanted to call you these few days." A white lie is still necessary: ​​"In the end, you moved too fast. I have been studying hard all the time. coming."

"Then you recite the calculation formula of Coulomb's law to me."

Qin Feng was dumbfounded: "Isn't it? I've been dizzy enough in the major and minor exams at school, why don't you still take the exam?"

Both of them laughed, their voices were hearty, like eagles with wings, soaring through the nine heavens.

"Qin Xia," Qin Feng said solemnly, but a little too solemnly embarrassed: "I want to go to A University."

Qin Xia didn't have the slightest thought of looking down on him or thinking that he was arrogant, and answered smoothly and naturally: "Okay, I'm waiting for you, my junior, at University A."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Feng's heart sank and he couldn't stop his excitement.

He used to have no goals, but now it's different.It is a kind of desire, it is the eagle's strong desire to fight and soar towards a wider and farther sky.Compared with this, on the way to fly high, the thunder, lightning, wind and hardships are nothing. Even against the wind, he still has firm confidence to rush over, see the blue sky, and see his companions waiting there.

Qin Xia is different from him, he doesn't have his own strong body, agility, and hard fists.

Qin Xia is the same as him, standing at the top of the food chain, calm and powerful, unparalleled.This kind of similarity impacted the abnormally active brain of the young man, causing him to feel a sense of sympathy.

One day, he, Qin Feng, would stand shoulder to shoulder with Qin Xia dignifiedly, say thank you equally and earnestly, and then treat him to a good meal, not just something as shabby as green vegetables and egg noodles.Then tell Qin Xia, buddy is very righteous, we Qin Feng recognize you as a good brother.

............................................................

Midterm exam results came out.The teacher in charge called Qin Feng to the office immediately.

Qin Feng was a little apprehensive, not understanding what the Chinese teacher asked him to do as a sports committee member.

"Qin Feng, sit down." Calmly, he pushed his thick bottle-bottomed glasses, his face flushed brightly, that was excited.

"Mr. Chen, do you have something to do with me?" After thinking again and again, Qin Feng was sure that he hadn't caused any trouble recently, so he sat down generously.

He patted the table calmly, his thick lips trembling: "Qin Feng, you did well in this midterm exam."

"I didn't copy it." Qin Feng subconsciously argued: "I took the test myself."

To be honest, this result is not so far away from A University, but compared with Qin Feng himself two months ago, it is not so good.

"You misunderstood, I didn't say you copied it." Holding your breath didn't seem like a mockery, it was sincere.Flipping through the report card on the table with his fingers, he drew a line and read: "Chinese 98, Mathematics 112, Physics 110, Chemistry 101, English 93. The total score is 514 points. The class is 15th, and the 247 students in the whole grade are ranked 129th!"

Seeing him so calm and excited that he couldn't sit still with nails growing on his buttocks, Qin Feng was a little puzzled, and kindly reminded: "Mr. Chen, the total score is 750 points, not 600 points."

He held his breath and laughed loudly, feeling unstoppable for the first time: "Qin Feng, you are so good! Mr. Chen saw you right! You have a smart head, you are a talent!" Mr. Chen bent down and made a mess under the desk cabinet Turning over, taking out the grades of last semester, pointing fingers: "Here, see for yourself. Your grades in the final exam of the first year of high school. You got 400 points in five subjects. It's only been two months, the speed of riding a rocket! No, I have to Tell the grade leader to see if you can be transferred to the fast class."

"I won't go." Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, I know what I know. I won't fool around in the future. I will study hard to prepare for the college entrance examination."

He held his breath and looked like he was about to cry, his nose was red: "The tiger father has no dogs, and the son of the old Qin family is promising."

Qin Feng poked his eyes secretly in his heart, and then he remembered that he and his father were classmates in primary school...

............................................................

In the blink of an eye, winter came, and after two snowfalls, Qin Yuan's body decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Once Qin Feng was doing homework in his room, and heard the father next door tell his mother that he wondered if he could survive this year.

The pen in Qin Feng's hand was tightly clenched, and the chemical formula being written on the draft book drew a black and thick oblique line, as sharp as a knife, cutting every inch of his heart.

Sometimes when returning home from school, Qin Yuan would chat with Qin Feng, which was rare.

Qin Feng didn't dare to cry, because Qin Yuan's tone was almost as if he was confessing the funeral, it was nostalgic and melancholy, and the hearts of those who heard it were broken.

Qin Yuan said, son, you will be the man of our family from now on, the pillar of our family.Your mother has not enjoyed any blessings in half her life with me, she has only suffered.In the future, you have to treat your mother better, you can't marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, you know?

Qin Yuan said, Dad knows that you are holding your breath and your self-esteem has been hurt.Son, don't deny it. My eldest nephew called that day. Is it because your mother praised the child for his good grades and promise? Are you unhappy?My son is also a good boy. He doesn’t steal or rob. It doesn’t matter if he goes to college or not. He lives upright and finds a job to make money.

Qin Yuan said, I had a dream two days ago. I dreamed that you got married and gave birth to a big fat boy. Your mother was so happy that she wiped her tears.Son, Dad is worried about you two. From now on, you have to honor your mother, protect your wife, and support your children. No matter how heavy or difficult a man's spine is, he can't bend, understand?

At the beginning of December, Qin Yuan's condition deteriorated rapidly, and his 1.8-meter tall man was as thin as a handful of bones.The first time he was in a coma, Qin Feng and his wife were frightened out of their wits. Qin Feng didn't know where he got the strength to carry his father on his shoulders, but he forgot to borrow a car, so he just ran to the first place. In the first hospital, after entering the emergency room, he sat down on the ground trembling, almost paralyzed from exhaustion.

Dean Zhao and Qin Yuan have a good relationship and are old friends for many years.Seeing Qin Yuan's situation, he sighed and shook his head, and quietly told Ma Xiuli to prepare for the funeral.

Ma Xiuli was out of breath from crying, she leaned on her son's shoulder and almost passed out.

After Qin Yuan woke up in the hospital, he had a private chat with Dean Zhao and insisted on going home.

No matter how much Qin Feng and Ma Xiuli's wife tried to persuade him, Qin Yuan did not agree to continue to be hospitalized.But Dean Zhao didn't even object.

Qin Feng remembered that day, the sky was clear and cloudless, the snow was covered under his feet, and the soles of his shoes made a creaking sound when they stepped on the road.

Dean Zhao drove the whole family back by himself. When getting out of the car, Qin Yuan raised his head and squinted at the bricks and tiles of his house, talking to himself.It's better to be at home...nowhere else can compare.Even if I die, I will take my last breath at home.

Qin Yuan spent most of his last days in a coma, but he suffered a lot less.

The day before I left was December 27, and there were four days before the new year.The biggest snow of the year fell in Donglin, and it was covered with snow everywhere, like a fairy tale world.

Qin Yuan looked at his friends who were standing far away, and smiled with difficulty.Turning to look at Ma Xiuli, who was crying into tears, and Qin Feng, who had red eye circles, unable to say a thousand words, a tear dripped from the corner of his eye, and he closed his eyes reluctantly.

He didn't explain anything in the last sentence, he just held Qin Feng's hand and read a few sentences.

Son, my eldest son.
