Enough

After Mrs. Ji went to the military region, she didn't come back for a long time.Maybe he went to the capital with Ji Hongan, or maybe he had other work to deal with.

When Ji Yuan was still tearing up the draft paper in boredom at school, the Ji family once again ushered in the once-in-a-decade "big inspection".In recent years, the Great Elder has strictly cracked down on corruption, and several high-ranking officials have been sacked.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that those who fall from the horse are capable generals of the hostile camp.

There is no right or wrong in politics, only winning or losing.

When Mrs. Ji arrived at the military area, Ji Hongan had already been taken away for isolation.The husband and wife were questioned separately, declaring "two rules" to the Ji family.

Even if there are red blood, local officials, and business giants in the clan, prosperity and decline are just a matter of words.This is a warning, the bell rings thousands of miles, shocking the whole country.

How many officials are really clean, even Ji Hongan's generation has a clean sleeve and a clean body.If you have the heart to rule you, it doesn't matter if you go up a few generations.Not to mention wanting to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about.

Ji-won is now complaining about bad luck.

Suddenly.

Fortune is in the middle of the road.

Ji Yuan’s current impressions of discipline inspection and government supervision agencies in his life are only bragging at the dinner table, walking around on New Year’s and holidays, and learning from his parents from time to time that “the Disciplinary Committee has invited so and so to talk this month”.

Most of them are not painful or itchy, and it has nothing to do with them.

It's hard for him to imagine that one day, his family will suffer an indiscriminate disaster.It's as if he still can't wake up from the scene in front of him, he just feels that all this is quite like magic realism.

The main house of Ji's family was seized, and Master Ji and Mrs. Ji, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, came from the capital.They, together with Ji Yuan, are staying at Xue's house temporarily, waiting for the follow-up of the matter.

It is rumored that the "two regulations" were interviewed in different places, maybe in a hotel, or in a detention center.Ji Yuan noticed that there were people coming and going around him, and he had no concept of the term "fallen horse".It's like living in a dream, with the dark night ahead and the abyss behind.Ji Yuan walked on the wire rope now, trembling, trying to appear more mature.

Finally, he murmured and asked: Where is my mother, why didn't my father come back.

As a natal family, the Xue family wanted to take care of it, but was told: be wise and protect yourself.The big tree was about to fall, and the flood rushed to the Dragon King Temple.God closed his eyes, and the ghosts of people's hearts came out.

Ji Yuan is now frantically looking for someone to inquire about, Qin Yu can only sigh quietly: "Commander, the process and location of the interview are absolutely confidential. But 80.00% of the officials will confess within three or four days, and the remaining 19.00% Most confess within a day."

"If you can survive fifteen days, it will be a 'failure to obtain evidence', and you will be fine. Now, let's depend on fate. You have to trust your parents, and the laws of heaven and earth are not lost."

Of course Ji Yuanxian is not afraid of investigating corruption, and at worst will hand it over to the state.Donate to the national treasury as a good deed.What he feared was that his parents would be tortured, both mentally and physically.He was deeply afraid of the light search, cold water stimulation, and wheel tactics that he had heard of.

When people are under long-term high pressure and cannot ensure adequate sleep, those with weak wills are very easy to be beaten into tricks.No matter whether they were caught by mistake or not, no matter whether they violated discipline or not, they would always frame others or give up themselves in order to save their lives.

Mid-spring is about to pass, and it is still a bit cold in late spring.The late catkins turned into snow and fell on the shoulders without paying attention.

It's like not going in the deep winter, but yearning for the world.

The old lady was wrapped in a shawl and stood in front of Xue's house window.Trembling, she spoke to Mrs. Xue in the frame.Mrs. Ji's biological mother passed away many years ago, and the two of them had a close relationship as sisters.The old lady's eyes drifted out of the window, and she said softly: "It's good if you leave early, so you can't see these things. Over the years, I have treated her like my own. It is a blessing for Hong An to marry her."

"But I told them a long time ago, what do you need so much for? The bloodbath decades ago was not enough, and now you are here to make the younger generation suffer. People are not enough, so be careful with your words and actions. You need so much power, don't you be afraid."

Ji Yuan is now hiding at the door, staring at his toes.This is the tenth day since Mrs. Ji lost contact with Ji Hong'an. She asked for a leave of absence from school, and her friends from the past did not dare to contact him.

The Gu family wants to help, but they don't know where to start.A businessman with a red background can easily be convicted of crimes involving gangsters.Gu Xi asked his parents, asked his grandparents, and finally shook his head unanimously.

The tree falls and the monkeys scatter, that's it.

Ji Yuan wanted to lose his temper now, the young master's arrogance and coquettishness were completely buried in his heart.He wanted to jump up and get angry, "My parents are not corrupt, and our Ji family business is attracting attention. This is a fucking dragon's beard." Either they remained neutral, or they didn't want to go down the wall. They judged the situation and walked on thin ice.Who did the Ji family provoke?

But on the one hand he was terrified, the young master knew nothing about the horror of power.He just stays in the shadow of his ancestors and domineering. He doesn't know who gave it all now, and who can take it back lightly.

During the "falling of the Ji family", many politicians drew a clear line, and there was a tendency to never communicate with each other.Except for the Qin family and the Gu family.

And Lizhengchuan.

If it weren't for Lisen's quick action and precautions, Lijia, a walled faction, would not have escaped.Ji Yuan found that he had a room in the school district for a long time, and he hadn't been to school yet, so Li Zhengchuan couldn't sit still.

The little army commander sent messages carefully, wrote them out, and then deleted them.

There are only two words left in the end - don't be afraid.

Ji Yuan asked him now: It's not me that should be afraid, but you.Lijia still dare to vote with us?

After a long time, Li Zhengchuan replied: You are you, Ji's family is Ji's family.I am me, and establishing a family is establishing a family.

Ji Yuan now reads repeatedly, picks out every word and every sentence on the screen, and puts them in his mouth to chew.Then, like a tranquilizer, it was injected into his body.Li Zhengchuan was not here, not by his side, Ji Yuanxian still felt a pair of powerful arms pressing him into his embrace.

Dependence is an unwanted emotion and a manifestation of weakness.

Ji Yuan now does not want to be weak, so he learns to spread his minions forward.

It will be half a month before I see Mrs. Ji again.

Ji Yuan stumbled and ran out to meet his mother, only staring at her from across the air.He just felt that there was a silent force that shook and shattered the anger in his body, and then dispersed it to his limbs and bones, returning to silence.

Mrs. Ji became thinner.Wearing plain business attire, the clothes are empty.The narrow waist was only one palm wide, and his face was exhausted.

Ji Yuanxian just said: "...Mom..."

He screamed a little uncertainly, a little trembling.When my mother came back, it was like a mountain stood up again.So he dared to be weak, dared to retreat into his shell, and continued to be an imperfect and ignorant child.

But Mrs. Ji only frowned, and her voice was stern: "You are not in school, what are you doing at home?"

Ji Yuan was stunned now, he thought his mother would hug him and comfort him.At least like Li Zhengchuan did, he said to him: Don't be afraid.

But Mrs. Ji only cares about where he is, why he doesn't go to school.Ji Yuan found it easy to hold back his unbearable irritability: "Mom, what did they ask you? My dad, when will my dad come out?"

"Whether that person ordered it or not, what will happen to us in the future?"

Mrs. Ji glanced at him and touched her upper and lower lips: "It's none of your business."

Ji Yuan was dumbfounded now, and the successive blows of the stick made him dizzy and tinnitus.He wants to learn to be calm and to speak in an adult way.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ji suddenly said: "If you really don't want to learn, none of us can stop you."

"Just do it yourself."

Ji Yuan now watched his mother avoid him and walked in firmly.He always feels that his mother has become a little different, and people are growing up all their lives.Is Mrs. Ji also reborn somehow, learning to hold up the other half of the collapsed day?

In the next few days, Mrs. Ji's dragon was in a hurry.She ran relationships and contacted people.People who used to stick to her side with money, now Mrs. Ji came to the door with a smile, and they were unwilling to receive them.

Ji Yuan now insisted on running with him a few times, but he didn't want to go again.

shame.Embarrassed.There is also the embarrassment of Huluo Pingyang being bullied by dogs.

Mrs. Ji's smile became less and less, her sleep was unsteady.Master Ji sighed, and the old lady held his daughter-in-law's hands, frowning: "Hong'an has his own way, don't wear yourself out. We have already said that you should not fight for power. What's the use of that?"

"We're getting old. Who would want to do it again when the guards ransacked the house decades ago? The world belongs to the young in the end. Let them have more ways to escape."

The Ji family doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, just because heaven, earth, sun and moon all have an end.God's longevity and Tianqi are actually just a little longer than ordinary people.What they want is stability in this world, and what they want is to see the light through the mist of suffering.

Ji Yuan is now returning to school after half a month.He was thinner and his complexion was not very good.On the road, he met his former friends and family members, and they all smiled and avoided him.When they bumped into each other, they faltered and couldn't say hello.

Qin Yu was annoyed, these idiots were quick to show their courtesy.When disregarding the relationship, put oil on the feet, maybe the family members ordered something.

Ji Yuan said nothing now, and the three of them walked into the toilet.Many people gathered inside to smoke, and when they saw the devil come in, they left one after another without saying a word.Qin Yu gritted his teeth: "Okay, it's just clean. Don't listen to the root of your tongue."

Ji Yuan now turned a blind eye to strikes and evasions.He always felt that in the past half a month, he had seen a lot that he had never faced before.Understand a little what is the human heart.

Not much, just a little.But it is also enough to subvert cognition.

Ji Yuan patted Qin Yu on the shoulder and reached out to him: "Hey, Yuzi. Give me a cigarette."

Qin Yu almost handed it over, but halfway was amputated by a hand stretched out diagonally.With a pale face, Gu Xi broke the cigarette and threw it into the toilet.This time, Ji Yuanxian exclaimed: "Hey, this is the Red River Road. Milkshake."

"Yuan Bao, what exactly do you want?" Gu Xi picked up the other side's skirt, her voice deep and cold. "It's fun to give up on yourself, who can show the appearance of this lost dog."

Qin Yu hurriedly inserted between the two of them, acting as an immediate peacemaker: "Hey, hey, Brother Xi, let me show you. If you have something to say, talk about it, and do whatever you want. It's my brother's fault..."

"You fucking don't allow me to smoke a cigarette? My mother doesn't care about me!"

Ji Yuan found the anger he picked up from nowhere, pushed Qin Yu away, and suddenly grabbed Gu Xi's wrist.

"What's the matter with my smoking? No one saw that I was decadent. My dad is still missing! I'm fucking fine. Gu Xi, why do you care about me. My mother doesn't care about me!"

The young man yelled entirely out of consciousness, unable to speak out of his head.Qin Yu suddenly shut up, the little commander was acting like a baby with his only remaining backer, his long-time bamboo horse.He covered up his cowardice with rage, and his panic with clamor.

He is afraid.He is really afraid.

Gu Xi let go of him suddenly, Ji Yuan felt a little flustered at that moment.In more than ten years, this was the first time that Gu Xi didn't pamper him.

"What were you doing when Mother Ji was in charge of you. What were you doing when Father Ji was teaching you?"

"Ji Yuanxian, you fucking think about it. What are you doing when I'm taking care of you?"

Every word and every sentence rang loudly, although the volume was not loud, but it was like a stone hammer hitting his bones again and again.

Gu Xi seldom gets angry, and always speaks and smiles gently to Ji Yuanxian.In his world, Yuan Bao once dyed his barren youth with brilliance, so he should pamper him and love him.

Gu Xi was also annoyed that things were unsatisfactory.

"Ji Yuanxian, why don't you think about it. I keep asking you to study, and what is the reason for you to work hard. Why don't you think about it, the reason why I transferred back from N City like a fool."

"If we don't agree with each other, we can still hang out together for three years. What about after graduation, have you thought about it. Huh?"

Gu Xi rubbed her hair irritably, with the cigarette in her lips, biting down on it to keep from lighting it up.

"Take it closer, Yuzi. Suppose he goes to a first-class university and really immigrates. And I, I also want to pursue my own future. What should you do? Yuan Bao, please listen to me."

"At that time, everyone had their own way out. How about you, how can you stand side by side with us?"

Are you not ashamed?Between people, between classes and classes, between ideas and ideas.When the gap becomes bigger and bigger, it is not suitable to be friends.There is no banquet in the world that never ends. When fate comes to an end, those who bother to save it are not suitable.

What you thought you caught was nothing.

Gu Xi kicked the trash can, opened the toilet door and went out.Qin Yu stood there shaking like a sieve, he didn't know whether to speak or not.A fine person also has a day when he is short of words.

In the end it was Ji Yuan who sneered and walked out of the toilet.

"Is there any worse news? I'm not fucking lucky, right?"

Yes, there is even worse news.

——Ji Hongan's private conversation No. 20 days ago, he suffered a heart attack and died on the spot.

It is said that even the ambulance was too late.

When Ji Yuanxian heard the news, he felt that fleeting years in his hands were like luck.

Suddenly.

Also stopped in the middle.

It was going to rain, and the early summer came inexplicably.Ji Yuan now stood in front of the tombstone and blinked, he couldn't tell the difference between rain or tears.But he probably didn't cry, all the people who saw him off had tears in their eyes.Including father's subordinates, Gu's family, Ji's family and those who are not familiar with them.

Only Ji Yuanxian and Mrs. Ji did not cry.

They just stood side by side, orphans and widows, looking at Ji Hongan's photo in the rain.

A sigh.

This year, why is it so chaotic.There are still good days to come, why are you leaving so early.

The noisy raindrops rolled down on the stone tablet, and fell into Ji Yuanxian's brain one by one.A silent and rusty string trembled suddenly, shaking off layers of ashes.

Ji Yuan now looked down at his mother, Mrs. Ji's fingers trembled slightly.He slowly held it, and the fingers of the two were cold.

"Mom, my dad is gone."

Mrs. Ji replied softly: "Well, he has gone."

went.It doesn't matter if the soul goes to the west or to heaven, but in short it won't come back.

Ji Yuan found that the tip of his nose was a little sore, and his eyes were also a little sore.

He finally regained consciousness for a while, thinking——

I don't have a father anymore.

There is no need for Ji Yuanxian to worry about the future, because of Ji Hongan's death, the "two regulations" matter also came to an abrupt end.Master Ji and the old lady had white hair and black hair, and they were almost sick.

The entire Ji family is like a hundred-year-old tree, under the root of which is a sinking ailment, where generations of ancestors are buried.Now that the tree is standing on the top of the younger generation, it is still unknown whether it will be in spring.

Mrs. Ji still waved Ji Yuanxian to go back to school, no matter whether he was in the mood or not, she stopped telling him to study hard.She inevitably shoulders the burden of the whole family, and has really transformed into a strong woman in people's mouth.

Ji Yuan now sees his mother haggard and strong, he understands that he can no longer say "there is Ji's family behind me".

Can no longer say: "It's okay, don't be afraid, we can take care of it."

It's not him who cleans up the mess, and it's not him who can take care of it.

It is the parents, the ancestral shadow bought by blood and sweat.

Ji Yuanxian is useless.He finally understood.

When the waves cleared, Mrs. Ji got busy again.Ji Yuan was in a daze for a few days, and finally returned to normal life.The bones are buried in the green hills, and the yellow sand is covered with green water.Days and days pass by in life, leaving a person is nothing more than losing a miss.

Life goes on, life still burns.Everyone is dying to live.

No one dared to mention family in front of Ji Yuanxian, even Gu Xi became silent.He stopped urging Ji Yuan to study now, as if after this battle, the boy began to shed his naive skin.

Qin Yu occasionally turned around from the front table and asked Ji Yuanxian if he wanted to go out to relax.

"There's nothing to break up," Ji Yuanxian forced a smile, "I'm fine, I'm not sad."

lie.

The Chinese teacher was expanding the textbook and talked about Tao Qian's "Elegy".In the ear is the teacher's emotional recitation, saying: "There will be no court for a thousand years, and the wise and talented will have nothing to do."I always send people off, and each returns to his home.

These two sentences say that the mourners will return to their homes after the wooden coffin is buried and the funeral is over.

Ji Yuanxian's eyes suddenly hurt, he stared at the pouring rain outside the window.It has been two days in a row, will there be floods this year?During floods in previous years, Ji Hongan was always too busy to stay home.

This year, he can be regarded as not busy.It's no longer the commander, don't be busy.

Ji Yuanxian patted Qin Yu's shoulder suddenly, and Yuzi turned his head carefully.He raised his head and covered his eyes, and quickly calmed down for a moment.

Ji Yuanxian's voice seemed to come from the sky, a little distant and a little soft.

He said, "Hako, don't call me Commander from now on."

"Just call it by name."

Qin Yu suddenly mourned, his nose sore, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brother Xian."

Lo and behold, the name has changed, too.Restrain the arrogance and domineering of youth, be bold and ignorant, and know how to turn inward.

Ji Yuanxian's body was raised inch by inch, like a ripening agent, eager to grow into an adult.The eldest son is like a father, and it is impossible for the Ji family to rely entirely on his mother.

When Ji Yuanxian returned to the school district room, Li Zhengchuan was already waiting in the living room.When he received the news from Ji Yuanxian that he was coming back to live, he didn't know what to expect and what to be anxious about.Li Zhengchuan seldom met him at school, so he could only wait at home early.

Li Zhengchuan told Ji Yuanxian: Don't be afraid.He didn't say the last sentence: there is me.

Although we can't tell the love between the two, we still need to be friends.

Ji Yuan now put down his schoolbag and grinned: "I don't go back to my room in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

Li Zhengchuan stood up and walked towards him.Ji Yuanxian still circulated that poem in his mind, "The relatives or Yu Bei, others have already sung. What is the way to die, and the body is on the same mountain."

The last two sentences say that when a person dies, he dies, so what else is there to say.Give it all to the loess of the earth, and the two places will disappear in the future.

Ji Yuan now lowered his head, pretending to tidy up his school uniform.Li Zhengchuan stood in front of him, wanting to comfort him, but didn't know where to start.

Li Zhengchuan suddenly asked: "Ji Yuanxian, do you know what our name is now?"

Ji Yuan was stunned, his thoughts were in a mess.

Li Zhengchuan was half-joking and half-serious. He pointed to his school uniform, and then pulled the other party's tie: "Same robe with Zi."

"So we barely count as it, and work together."

Ji Yuan wanted to laugh now, that's not how idiots say, what does it have to do with you.But most of his thoughts are still with the teacher, talking about Dongpo's "ten years of life and death are boundless, don't think about it, and never forget it."

He really wanted to forget, what's the point of remembering.

People are like the wind and enter the river after the cloud, and love is like the flakes sticking to the ground after the rain

Li Zhengchuan said, "I won't let you walk alone."

It may be comforting, or it may be to ease the atmosphere.

Ji Yuan lowered his head now and was about to laugh.But he blinked and watched a drop of tears hit the ground.

He thought he wouldn't cry.

He thought he didn't care.

All the bravery turned into clouds, and all the regrets turned into sobs.

Li Zhengchuan hugged Ji Yuanxian into his arms, but the boy remained silent.He tried to draw a ignorant protective circle to fulfill the "daydream" that Ji Yuanxian didn't want to wake up.

"I study hard, can I study hard?"

"I will never mess around again, I will study hard."

"It's too late."

Ji Yuan's voice trembled, he didn't know if he was speaking to himself, or to the person who could no longer hear.

It was too late, Ji Hongan couldn't hear it.

Big tears fell on the floor.

Li Zhengchuan hugged his neck, their foreheads touched, and their breaths intertwined.

He was so distraught that he couldn't breathe.He comforted in a panic, and affirmed in a panic.

"It's too late, Ji Yuanxian."

"Everything is in time."
