Long-awaited

Cheng Yihe closed his eyes fiercely, the veins on his forehead were throbbing, and his suppressed emotions finally reached the critical point of being uncontrollable at this moment, he said in a low voice: "Let go!"

Cheng Lin burst into tears with a wow, his knuckles turned white, and he held on to Cheng Yihe's sleeves tightly.

However, Cheng Yihe had the illusion that his heart was being held in Cheng Lin's hands, and those slender fingers were about to squeeze the whole heart, dripping with blood.

At that moment, Cheng Yihe was in so much pain that he could barely breathe, and said coldly, "Is that enough? What else do you want!?"

Cheng Lin almost hung on Cheng Yihe's body, crying: "I...I want to go home with you."

"impossible!"

"For...why?"

Cheng Yihe roared: "There is no reason! I don't want to see you, do you understand enough!"

Cheng Yihe seemed to be out of his body. He looked at him coldly barking at Cheng Lin like a vicious dog, and his heart seemed to be crushed again. All the grievances and anger he had suffered were revenged on Cheng Lin.

Cheng Lin was crying miserably, but now Cheng Yihe was completely shocked, as if the electricity was cut off, he suddenly fell silent, his chest twitched, and tears fell in a daze.

They happened to be standing at the gate, and the passers-by all looked back at them curiously, and even the more troublesome ones stopped and looked at them.

Cheng Yihe didn't want to be surrounded by others like a monkey, so he grabbed Cheng Lin's arm with his backhand and was about to leave.

At this moment, a tall and thin middle-aged woman ran out from the ticket hall, shouting as she ran, "Hey! Hey! Wait!"

Cheng Yihe took two steps before he realized that he was calling them. He stopped and saw that the man was carrying a small black satchel, holding Cheng Lin's paper bag for clothes and snacks in his hand. He remembered that it was the conductor and hurried to catch up. two steps.

The conductor ran up to Cheng Yihe with an unhappy expression on his face. He put the things in his hand down heavily, and said in a shrill voice, "Can you go? We're about to leave."

Cheng Yihe said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've been delayed, can I take a ride?"

The conductor rolled his eyes, took out the torn ticket stub and Cheng Lin's money from his bag, and angrily stuffed it into Cheng Yihe's hand, "Trouble!"

Before Cheng Yihe had time to thank him, the conductor had already turned around and left quickly.

He didn't stop much, he picked up the bag and pulled Cheng Lin away, and the two returned to Cheng Yihe's car, which blocked the curious eyes of outsiders.

Cheng Lin was still weeping non-stop, and the tears gathered to his chin and dripped down again, wetting the clothes on his chest.

Cheng Yihe took several deep breaths before his heartbeat calmed down. He took out a tissue and handed it to Cheng Lin, "Don't cry, just wipe away your tears."

Cheng Lin acted as if he didn't hear it, just lowered his head and wept, Cheng Yihe had no choice but to hold his chin and face himself, but Cheng Lin's tears were like a river breaking its embankment, it couldn't be wiped away, paper towels were wet one after another.

Cheng Yihe was completely helpless, pinched Cheng Lin's chin and said softly: "What do you want me to do? Tell me."

Cheng Lin's teary eyes were blurry, and his loose eyes finally focused, so he threw himself into Cheng Yi He's arms, hugged his neck tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother...don't drive me away...I want to be with you .”

Cheng Yihe's eyes were deep, he couldn't help lingering on Cheng Lin's drenched cheeks, and said, "Why did you do this? Why didn't you hug me and say this seven years ago?"

Cheng Lin repeated it dreamily: "...I want to be with you."

Cheng Yihe gently stroked Cheng Lin's soft and black hair, his movements were so gentle, but his tone was firm and cold: "It's impossible, do you know? It's impossible..."

Cheng Lin raised his wet eyes: "Why?"

Cheng Yihe let out a long breath, as if speaking to Cheng Lin, but more to remind himself: "Cheng Lin, I am married and my child is 6 years old. I will not give up my family to be with you , don't embarrass us like this, okay?"

Cheng Lin's eyes were confused, his head was tilted on Cheng Yihe's shoulder, he thought hard for a long time, and Fang said: "Brother... I... Is it because my sister-in-law doesn't want me to follow you? I won't make trouble for you. I will earn money by myself. I can also cook for you and my sister-in-law, do housework, and treat the children well, I can do everything, don't drive me away."

Seeing that Cheng Yihe was silent, Cheng Lin grabbed his shoulders, shaking and pleading: "Brother...can you help me to plead with my sister-in-law? I know you are the best for me."

Cheng Yihe clasped his knee tightly with one hand, the veins on the back of his hand were bulging, and his profile was as cold as a stone statue: "Since you know that I treat you best, can you keep poking my heart with a knife? Cheng Lin, my The heart is also fleshy. It will hurt."

Cheng Lin pressed trembling hands on Cheng Yihe's heart, and burst into tears again, as if Cheng Yihe's heart hurt, which also caused him to cry even more sadly.

Cheng Yihe let Cheng Lin lean on him, until Cheng Lin lost his strength from crying, and his body twitched against the barrier, Cheng Yihe said again: "Be obedient, let's go home? Okay, we are like this now, What's the point? If you keep pestering me like this, it's better not to see each other for the rest of your life. "

Cheng Lin hugged Cheng Yihe tightly, choked up and said, "Don't be angry."

Cheng Yihe said: "Then you just listen to me obediently,"

Cheng Lin's tears fell again: "I don't want to be separated from you."

Cheng Yihe's Adam's apple slid violently several times, and his mind was ups and downs between agreeing or not, and finally he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "When I have a vacation, I will go back to see you. Listen to me today, okay?"

Cheng Lin said: "Really?"

Cheng Yihe said: "Really."

Cheng Lin asked again: "Will you call me?"

Cheng Yihe said: "...Yes."

Cheng Lin stared blankly at Cheng Yihe's cold and handsome side face for a moment, but he couldn't convince himself no matter what, and said, "But I really don't want to be separated from you, not even for a second."

Cheng Lin fell on Cheng Yihe's shoulder and kept crying, afraid of making Cheng Yihe unhappy, so he only dared to sob in a low voice.

Cheng Yihe rubbed the center of his brows vigorously, helped Cheng Lin up, wiped his tears, and said, "Okay, don't do this, okay? Cheng Lin, although the breakup was very unpleasant, but after so many years Yes, I have already seen it, I will treat you as a younger brother, you and Yi Xin are still the same in my heart. You have to learn to grow up, you can't always be so childish."

Cheng Lin's big eyes were covered with a layer of confusion that could not be dispelled.

Cheng Yihe felt a little uneasy in his heart, and asked, "Are you listening to me?"

Cheng Lin nodded blankly.

Cheng Yihe said: "Don't cry for a while, you understand?"

Cheng Lin nodded obediently, and Cheng Yihe pulled Cheng Lin into the station again.This time Cheng Lin really didn't make a fuss, but before getting into the car, he leaned softly on Cheng Yihe's body, silently expressing his desire not to part.

Seeing that Cheng Lin's face was pale and his thick eyelashes were still stained with tears, Cheng Yihe wanted to say otherwise, otherwise he would leave tomorrow.But what about tomorrow?It gave Cheng Lin hope, and sent it over tomorrow to let him cry again. Would it be delayed until the day after tomorrow?

Cheng Yihe was ruthless and sent Cheng Lin to the car. Before leaving, he couldn't help but patted his head and said, "Be careful on the road."

Cheng Lin lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, Cheng Yihe sighed silently, turned around and got off the car.

On the way out of the station, Cheng Yihe could clearly feel the persistent eyes following his back. He was afraid that if he looked back, he would be doomed. Step by step, he felt as if he was stepping on the tip of a knife, until standing in front of his car, Cheng Yihe Just turn back carefully as if facing an abyss,

But there are many people, and I can no longer see the person lying on the car window looking at me.

Cheng Yihe watched Cheng Lin's car get out of the station before driving away.

When he got home, Cheng Yihe lay on the bed exhausted. He hadn't had a good rest all night, but now he didn't feel sleepy at all. He was staring at the ceiling in a daze. However, if you smell it carefully, it seems that Cheng Lin's smell still remains on it.

Cheng Rongyuan, Cheng Yihe's second uncle, was married to Zhang Junyan for four years, and had nothing to do, and no offspring.

This time, the family accidentally picked up a doll. Grandma Cheng thought that it would be better to let the second child be raised by them first, which is better than nothing.

When Cheng Yihe's second aunt came over, she didn't even know what was the reason, so she asked after entering the door, "Sister-in-law, what's the rush? You won't let me eat, so I asked my mother to call me over in a hurry."

The little doll had already been placed on the bed in the east room. Zhao Ying lifted the beaded door curtain and waved to Zhang Junyan, "Hush down, come here quickly."

While Zhang Junyan couldn't help being puzzled, she followed Zhao Ying into the house. The child she had picked up had already been put on the bed, and Cheng Yihe was lying on the side of the bed, holding the little hand of 'sister', coaxing in a decent way, It's very interesting to see the big children coaxing the little ones.

Zhao Ying pulled Zhang Junyan to the side of the bed and sat down. Grandma Cheng also came in and said, "I took Xiao Yi up the mountain today and picked up this child in the field. Do you like it?"

Zhang Junyan finally understood now that she had picked up a child and wanted her to raise it.

It has been so many years since she married here, she watched Zhao Ying give birth to two boys one after another, but her stomach didn't react at all, she was more anxious than anyone else, as long as she could conceive a child, she tried everything, The most unbearable thing was that once she invited three Taoist talismans to her home and wanted to burn them into ashes and drink them with well water. More than half a year has passed, and there is still no news.Arguing with Cheng Rongyuan at home all day long, fighting coldly, even unwilling to see Zhao Ying, always feeling that she is laughing at him.

So for this picked-up child, Zhang Junyan felt sore, why their family could pick up a boy.

She didn't express anything on her face, she just poked her head to look at the child's face, the small face was pointed, which was not a sign of luck, so she didn't like it very much in her heart.Thinking that Zhao Ying gave it to her because she didn't want it, Zhang Junyan was even more unhappy, and said tactfully, "Mom, how can you pick up children casually? What if the parents come here?"

Grandma Cheng said: "Which biological parents don't want to find their lost children. Since they are thrown on the mountain, they definitely don't want them. Don't worry about that. Besides, it's not impossible for us to say that your sister-in-law gave birth."

Zhao Ying hurriedly interrupted: "Mom, how can you say I gave birth?"

Zhang Junyan was also flustered with vomiting and didn't speak any more.

Grandma Cheng looked at this, looked at that, and persuaded: "Well, let's find a reason." Holding Zhang Junyan's hand, she said earnestly: "My second daughter-in-law, mother also knows that she was not born by herself. There will definitely be a separate floor, and it’s good to just raise them, after all, there will be feelings. Besides, there is no rush to have a baby. Besides, it’s not always said that the family can’t have a baby. Only one can be recruited. If you look at our village, it’s not that no one adopts them, and it’s not a rare thing at all.”

Zhang Junyan also heard that a woman in a neighboring village could not give birth to a child for seven or eight years, so she spent 5 yuan to buy a baby boy, but in the second year, she gave birth to one herself, and then it seemed that some curse had been lifted , A boy and a girl were born one after another, and the family was thriving, and their lives were harmonious and beautiful.

Thinking of this, Zhang Junyan became a little bit moved, and said: "Then I have to go back and discuss with him. If he disagrees, I will shave my head and make it hot."

Now that she's said that, Grandma Cheng knows it's done, but her son doesn't understand?

After talking some more gossips, Zhang Junyan left. On the second day, they got up at five o'clock to knock on the door of Zhao Ying's house. At that time, they were still asleep, and when they heard the voice, their minds were not clear when they were half asleep. It took a long time to think about it. The second child and the others came to pick up the child, and hurriedly got up in their clothes and opened the door for them.

Because of having a younger brother, Cheng Yixin, Cheng Yihe had already slept in a separate room with his parents at that time, and the east room was divided into two small rooms, his grandmother slept outside, and he slept in the inside.

When Zhang Junyan and his wife took away the "sister" he had picked up, he was still asleep.

After getting up and eating in the morning, Cheng Yihe realized that something was missing at home, and ran to Zhao Ying who was making breakfast in a daze, and asked, "Mom, where is my sister?"

Zhao Ying said, "Your second aunt took her away."

Cheng Yihe quit immediately, stomped his feet and shouted: "How can you do this! Let her come back! That's my sister!"

Zhao Ying was busy cooking, so he didn't bother to talk to him, and said, "What are you arguing about, your second aunt took him away, and it's also your younger brother, what's wrong!"

Adults can't understand the children's world. From Cheng Yihe's point of view, since he picked it up, the "sister" is his own property. His parents gave their own things to others without saying a word. Cheng Yihe was furious. , dropped a few golden beans, ran into the house and never came out again.

Zhao Ying called out several times, coaxing and threatening, but Cheng Yihe didn't eat breakfast no matter what, so Zhao Ying had no choice but to take Cheng Yihe, who was pouting and could hang gourds, to his second aunt's house to see his younger sister.

Although the undercurrent among adults generally does not affect the children, it still has an impact to some extent. Cheng Yihe originally thought that the second aunt was not good to him, so he didn't like the second aunt. "Sister", he didn't like this second aunt even more, he knew at a young age that he wouldn't go to the second uncle's house.

After Zhang Junyan took the baby home, in case things changed, Grandma Cheng urged her eldest son Cheng Rongjian to register for the child on the same day, and his name was Cheng Lin, which was a complete implementation of the matter.

After his younger sister was robbed, Cheng Yihe had no time to make trouble anymore. Soon after September, he began to attend the elementary school in the village. There were teachers with wrinkled faces, blackboards covered with chalk, and dusty and noisy children. The playground took up his entire life.Only on the way from school, when passing by the second uncle's house, could hear loud crying from inside, but Cheng Yihe only stopped for a moment, and then ran away with his friends pushing and shoving.

Time flies, and two full years later, Zhang Junyan lived up to her wish and gave birth to a son of her own.

Cheng Yihe changed from a good baby who obediently went to school to a little bastard who led a group of brothers to skip classes and dig out bird nests all day long.

He beat him and scolded him, but nothing worked. Instead, he tended to rebound violently. Zhao Ying really couldn't discipline him.

On this day, Cheng Yihe led a group of brothers to hula la across the small dirt road in the village. The dust was flying behind him like a group of wild horses. When he ran past the door of his second uncle's house again, Cheng Yihe had already run five or six meters away. Another gust of wind blew back.

At the door of his second uncle's house, there was a little doll that looked like milk balls. The little doll's eyes were black and bright, more beautiful than Cheng Yihe's glass beads, staring at people without blinking. , can make people look crisp.

The big dolls sitting in front of other people's houses are either dirty or like to eat snot from their nostrils. Cheng Yihe hates them very much. When he sees such a cute and clean doll suddenly, he is also very curious. After observing for a long time, I finally found some fragments from the depths of my memory. Isn't this the sister he picked up!

It turned out to have grown so big!

At this time, Cheng Yihe was in the second year of middle school who believed in the supremacy of force. He raised his chin, walked up to the milk doll, and shouted: "Hey! What are you doing sitting here!"

The milk doll was startled, her big eyes filled with tears, she couldn't get rid of it, she was very pitiful,

Cheng Yihe shouted: "I'm asking you something!"

The milk baby cried out with a loud voice, and then only his second uncle's voice came from inside: "Lin Lin!? Who bullied you?"

Cheng Yihe shrank his neck and ran away with a huff.

Cheng Yihe suffered a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots that night, not only because he scared his younger brother to tears, but also because he learned to change the brightly red 70 points on the test paper to 90 points.The teachers who taught were all from the same village. Zhao Ying saw that her son managed to get a reasonable score in the test. After seeing the teacher, he smiled and complimented him. After a conversation between the two sides, he realized that it was Cheng Yihe who changed the score privately. , Zhao Ying was so angry that his face was red and his ears were flushed. There was no place to rest his face. When he came back, he naturally vented all his anger on Cheng Yihe.

Cheng Yihe didn't think it was a big deal to change his grades without permission. He just thought that what the second uncle did this time was too dishonest. If the second uncle didn't complain, his mother wouldn't be so angry, so he only dared to take a detour from now on, and never dared to do it again. Appeared on the road in front of his second uncle's house.

And after six or seven days, Cheng Yihe finished school a full hour later than others because the teacher kept him memorizing the multiplication table.As long as Cheng Yihe thinks of going home and copying the formulas ten times, he will feel that life is so bleak, walking alone and sadly on the country road.

Suddenly, I saw a few children gathered together in front of me, I don't know what they were doing furtively, Cheng Yihe sneaked over, and through the gap, I saw the milk doll named Lin Lin standing in the middle.

One of the tallest children suddenly pushed Cheng Lin's shoulder and asked viciously, "Hey! I heard that you were not born to your mother. Why don't you go to your mother and what are you doing in our village?"

Children who are a little over two years old can't understand what they are saying at all, but because they are too scared, their eyes are full of tears.

Another child pinched Cheng Lin's cheek again. Cheng Lin was whiter than all the girls in the village, and the left side of his face was reddened by the pinch, and the teardrops in his eyes were big. Then fell down.Trembling, he took a step back, and was pushed by the child behind him. The weak figure was very pitiful.

Cheng Yihe became angry immediately, why is this baby boy so soft, he won't even resist!The others are even worse. After all, they are members of the Cheng family, so they can be beaten by others?

Cheng Yihe took off his schoolbag from his shoulders and fell to the ground, rolled up his sleeves, rushed up and gave the tallest child a kick in the ass, then grabbed his hair and cursed: "Your mother is still a widow! Why are you Bully others!"

The other children were frightened for a moment by Cheng Yihe's sudden black hand. After they realized it, the tall kid had already been hit by Cheng Yihe riding on his body, and the other children rushed forward. There are many enemies, and they are very brave. Although they have been punched a few times, Cheng Yihe is the one who knows how to fight the most. There is a black and thin kid on the outside. He really dare not go up and fight Cheng Yihe. The milk doll I was thinking, I can't beat your brother, and I can't beat you to vent my anger?

He kicked Cheng Lin over when he walked over, and Cheng Lin immediately lay down on the ground and began to cry miserably. Cheng Yihe looked at it and looked like he was crazy. He rushed over and grabbed the child by the neck and threw him to the ground. If the adults hadn't rushed over after hearing Cheng Lin's cries, Cheng Yihe would have lifted a stone and almost opened a ladle for the child.

After being forcibly separated by the adults, Cheng Yihe still thought worriedly, this is a terrible situation. He was beaten just a few days ago, and his mother's anger is still there. Couldn't the beating be more severe this time?To his surprise, after hearing Cheng Yihe's description, Zhao Ying not only didn't beat him, but instead took Cheng Yihe and Cheng Lin to the tall kid's house to argue and scolded the kid's mother several times. God dare not come out to meet people.

Cheng Yihe was very pleased with someone supporting him, but since then there was a little tail behind him - Cheng Lin.

In the future, even though Cheng Lin grew up, and even surpassed the age when Cheng Yihe beat others for him, Cheng Lin still admired Cheng Yihe, and that kind of deep-seated conviction may have been rooted in his heart from then on.

But Cheng Yihe's time is not easy, because he has a younger sister who can protect him and satisfy his vanity, but this younger sister is too delicate, he can scare Cheng Lin into tears even if he lifts a scorpion nest up the mountain.

Cheng Yihe was very annoyed by this, and complained to Zhao Ying: "Mom, my second uncle's younger sister is really a crying bag, I don't like to play with her."

Zhao Ying smiled and said, "You forget that when you picked him up before, you didn't lose him like a treasure and gave it to your second uncle's house. You still don't want to talk to me for a month."

Cheng Yihe said: "Really, I forgot, so I like my sister so much."

Zhao Ying reprimanded: "I told you several times, it's not my sister, but my brother."

Cheng Yihe said: "But he looks younger than a girl."

Zhao Ying nodded Cheng Yihe's forehead and said, "It's fine to talk about this kind of thing at home, but you can't say it outside. If your second aunt hears it, she will be upset."

"Why? Don't you look good?"

"You just know it's not good, there's so much nonsense."

Cheng Yihe didn't know that, in the concept of the older generation, dating a boy and a girl would bring disaster to the family, and Zhao Ying didn't tell Yihe the process. If Cheng Lin wasn't brought home, Zhang Junyan would be pregnant the next year. I'm afraid Zhang Junyan Cheng Lin was about to be given to someone else's family to be raised. After Cheng Jin was born, he had thought about it a few times. If his second uncle hadn't stopped him, Cheng Lin probably wouldn't have existed in the Cheng family.

At that time, Cheng Yihe didn't understand, he was just very surprised that such a beautiful younger sister was actually a younger brother, and he felt very incredible.

But from then on, he also really treated Cheng Lin as a younger brother.

The memories of childhood are sweet and fragrant, but the youth is fleeting, like a light rain of apricot blossoms, blown by the wind, they floated away into the distance.

Looking at the pitch-black night sky, Cheng Yihe stood on the closed window sill, smoking one cigarette after another, raised his arm to look at his watch, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

After squinting for a while in the afternoon, he opened his eyes until now. Now that he closed his eyes, Cheng Lin's tearful eyes came and went, and he couldn't calm down at all.

I have to go to work tomorrow, do I still have to live in such a muddle?

Cheng Yihe and his friend Li Yuan jointly opened a law firm. From the beginning to the present, the scale is not small, and it is also considered well-known in the industry. Everything needs people to worry about it, so Cheng Yihe keeps busy when he is busy.

Cheng Yihe simply turned on his work computer to deal with official business, and tried his best to focus on his work. Looking at the lit screen of the laptop, he unconsciously thought of Cheng Lin. When he was at the station, Cheng Lin asked him pitifully, what would you do? call me?

At that time, he deliberately didn't ask Cheng Lin's phone number, and Cheng Lin didn't tell him as if he had forgotten it, so why didn't he ask more?Now at least I can send a message to ask if he has arrived home.

Or, it was just Cheng Lin's casual remark, but maybe he took it seriously.

Cheng Yihe fell into the mood of self-denial and couldn't extricate himself.

It took a long time until the doorbell rang. Cheng Yihe wondered, would there be someone at this late hour?But if you listen carefully, someone is knocking on your door.

Cheng Yihe's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and his most secret fantasy suddenly surfaced. Could it be that Cheng Lin came back, and he came back to find himself? !

This thought made Cheng Yihe tremble all over with excitement, even he himself didn't realize how strong this emotional outburst was.

He threw down the cigarette butt, rushed to the door in three steps at a time, opened the door with a bang, and he was even ready for Cheng Lin to rush in.

But the person at the door made Cheng Yihe blank for a second. It was none other than Cheng Lin's younger brother Cheng Jin. More precisely, Cheng Jin was Cheng Yihe's blood cousin.

Cheng Jin looks like his mother, with slender cheeks and a bit of a mean look, but anyone who knows him knows that Cheng Jin is the most honest person, and sometimes he is a little more dull than Cheng Lin.

In the middle of the night, I saw Cheng Jin suddenly, and I almost didn't recognize him at the first moment. Not only did he turn black, but his figure also became much stronger. The muscles on his arms even bulged out through the fabric of his clothes.

What surprised Cheng Yihe even more was that Cheng Jin was followed by two policemen in black.

Cheng Yihe's question hadn't come out yet, Cheng Jin's face was full of anxiety, and his loud voice echoed throughout the corridor: "Brother! Did my brother come to look for you?"

Cheng Yihe's eyes moved from the police uniform to Cheng Jin's sweaty face: "Yes."

Cheng Jin couldn't wait to push Cheng Yihe away and burst into the room. Even if he was a cousin, this was a very rude move, but Cheng Jin's urgent and anxious state could not help but infect Cheng Yihe, and he also followed his heart beating wildly, vaguely as if Something very serious has happened.

But Cheng Yihe's house is so big, the bedroom door is not closed, and there is no sign of Cheng Lin when looking around, Cheng Jin almost collapsed and said, "Where's my brother?"

Cheng Yihe said: "I sent him home."

Cheng Jin opened his eyes wide and said, "Go home? Where are you going home?!"

Cheng Yihe frowned deeply, and said, "I sent you to the bus back to Donglin."

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Cheng Jin's forehead in an instant, and he stomped his feet and said, "Brother! No one lives in our hometown for a long time, my brother...my brother..."

Cheng Yihe immediately took a step closer, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with Cheng Lin?"

Cheng Jin, a tall and big man, grinned and cried, and said, "My brother is crazy! How could he know the way home!?"
