Long-awaited

Cheng Yihe asked himself, he was also the younger brother he had grown up with, so why did he have such a relationship with Cheng Lin?

He couldn't tell himself.

Because by the time he discovered this deeply buried feeling, it had already broken through the ground and sprouted, and its roots were entwined and tightly wrapped around his entire atrium.He simply cannot escape.

But going back to the youth, it has long been like a phantom of thin clouds in the sky, which is far away and near, which is out of reach.

At that time, Cheng Yihe claimed to be a free chasing boy, but ever since he heroically saved Cheng Lin in anger, he had a small tail that was in the way, and he couldn't get rid of it even if he wanted to.

Cheng Yihe was very troubled by this, in order to get rid of this greasy little tail, he tried every means.

Therefore, after Cheng Yihe knew that Cheng Lin was afraid of scorpions, he would often deliberately take him up the mountain, hoping that he could retreat in spite of the difficulties.

But Cheng Yihe's small calculations always came to nothing. Although Cheng Lin was full of fear, he still followed behind Cheng Yihe with little arms and short legs.

Cheng Yihe said viciously every time: "Will you walk faster!"

Cheng Lin paused, hurried to catch up, and ran to Cheng Yihe out of breath, looking at Cheng Yihe with burning eyes.

Although Cheng Lin is young, his eyes are more beautiful than Xia Ye's Xingzi. Whenever this happens, Cheng Yihe will feel like he is defeated.

Cheng Yihe will find a way to get back the superiority of being a big brother from other places.

Because as soon as Cheng Lin saw the scorpion crawling, he would tremble with fright, his eyes were red on the spot, he grabbed the corner of Cheng Yihe's clothes, and shouted softly: "Brother..."

Cheng Yihe deliberately let the little scorpion crawl on his fingertips, and when he saw his frightened look, he acted impatiently: "Why do you call me!"

Cheng Lin's teeth were trembling, but he refused to cry and dared not say a word.

Cheng Yihe was proud of himself, and then threw the bottle full of scorpions into Cheng Lin's arms. Through the plastic bottle, the dense limbs seemed to be crawling on the skin. brain, but Cheng Lin didn't dare not answer it, but his eyes were redder and he stuck closer to Cheng Yihe's side.

However, in retrospect now, many fragmentary pictures have been blurred, and I just feel that time suddenly slipped away silently from a place you couldn't see.

Cheng Lin followed Cheng Yihe for three years, from being timid at the beginning to being calm and calm, and when he was six years old, he was able to keep his face to scorpions, centipedes and other arthropod species.

But at that time, Cheng Yihe was no longer keen on the activity of catching scorpions on the mountain. He had already entered the first grade of junior high school and was studying in the middle school in the town.

Zhao Ying bought a bicycle for Cheng Yihe.Cheng Yihe wandered between the village and the school on a bicycle all day long. His friends who used to play with either failed to pass the middle school to help farmers at home, or transferred to other towns to go to school through the family relationship. Cheng Yihe paid a new salary. Friends, entered another new small world.

Cheng Lin's life became lonely, and after Cheng Yihe was promoted to junior high school, he didn't like to hang out with a little bean.Except for Cheng Yihe, few people would play with him.

Cheng Lin spends most of his time in the small yard of his home, watering the melons and vines, loosening the soil... A small world can also enjoy itself.

When Cheng Lin was older, after Cheng Lin was sent to preschool, he thought he finally had a little friend of his own, but the fact is that no one at school wanted to play with him, and the boys always liked to play tricks on him.

Cheng Lin thought that it doesn't matter if he plays alone, as long as he can endure the malice from the outside world, he will pass.But the intensification of the children brought Cheng Lin to the verge of unbearable, after all, clay figurines are also bloody.

Once again surrounded by the earthen wall of the school, Cheng Lin became anxious and shouted loudly for the first time: "Why did you hit me!"

"Who told you to be a bastard!" The children in front of me said in one voice.

Cheng Lin's eyes were filled with tears, and he was so pitiful that he couldn't shed his trembling, "...what do you mean?"

Cheng Lin had already forgotten the treatment he received when he was younger. This was the first time he heard someone say that since he could remember, and it was like a bolt from the blue.

All the adults in the village knew that Cheng Lin was not the flesh and blood of Cheng Rongyuan and his wife, but neighbors in a village would never gossip in person.But after closing the door, what each family will say after dinner is beyond the control of others.After going back and forth, almost most of the children knew that Cheng Lin, who looked like a little girl, was a doll brought over by Cheng Rongyuan from another house.

This may be just a bit of talk between adults to pass the time, but in the ears of children, it has become an existence similar to Shangfang's sword. It seems that if they have this secret, they have the right to take Cheng Lin's life and death.

Then he will be filled with a special sense of superiority, and announce to Cheng Lin: "You are not your mother's own son."

"Yes!" "You are different from us! Didn't your mother tell you?" The other children echoed.

Cheng Lin came home crying that day. At that time, Zhang Junyan was cooking in the kitchen, and was coughed by a puff of smoke. Cheng Lin stood next to her with tears all over his face and asked, "Mom, am I a wild child?"

Zhang Junyan said impatiently: "What wild child, who told you that!"

Cheng Lin twitched from crying, unable to speak, Zhang Junyan threw another piece of firewood into the earthen stove, and the fire became hotter, crackling, and from the beginning to the end, she never turned her head to look at it. One glance at Cheng Lin, but the complaints in his mouth continued: "I know how to cry and cry all day long, whoever said this to you, wouldn't you call it back yourself! If you cry again, don't come into this house!"

Zhang Junyan probably knew the reason why Cheng Lin was bullied, but she thought that she had done her best to raise an abandoned baby until now. As for the others?Cheng Jin alone is enough for her to keep busy, so she can't manage so much.

Cheng Lin didn't get the answer he wanted from Zhang Junyan, it was a devastating blow to his young mind, he just swallowed the ridicule and sarcasm of others silently.

So those children got even worse, and they didn't even have any reason, just bullying him for fun.

Until Cheng Yihe accidentally bumped into her once.That afternoon after school, he was almost at the entrance of the village. He saw a group of children jostling and talking from a distance. Cheng Yihe felt strange, so he stepped on his pedals twice, only then did he realize that it was Cheng Lin who was surrounded in the middle. , a group of children were picking up his pants, Cheng Lin was holding on tightly, his little face was covered with tears.

What made Cheng Yihe furious even more was that his own brother——Cheng Yixin was actually among those children!

Cheng Yihe jumped off his bicycle, threw the bike to the side of the road, and shouted, "Cheng Yixin!"

The other children scattered like birds and beasts, Cheng Yixin ran two steps slower, and was grabbed by Cheng Yihe, who slammed his head twice and kicked his ass.

Cheng Lin was still crying beside him, and his loose trousers fell off. Cheng Yihe walked over and bent down to help him tidy up. Only then did he find that there were two or three bruises on Cheng Lin's white skin. After a burst of anger, he turned his head and yelled at Cheng Yixin: "Get out of here!"

Cheng Yihe took Cheng Lin's hand and sent him back to his second uncle's house first.At that time, the factory where his second uncle worked was far away from the village, so he was not often at home.Zhang Junyan also handles the farm work at home.

As soon as he walked to the door of his second uncle's house, he saw Zhang Junyan walking over from the other side of the path with a hoe on his shoulder.

Seeing Cheng Yihe, Zhang Junyan asked casually, "Xiao Yi leaves school so early today?"

Cheng Yihe said: "It's the same as usual, but I saw a few children bullying Cheng Lin at the entrance of the village today, and I beat them away."

Zhang Junyan had already put the hoe in the corner, and was taking out the key from her waist to open the door, and said, "Come in for a drink?"

Cheng Yihe frowned, and said, "No need, my younger brother beat Cheng Lin too, let me clean it up, Second Aunt, don't be angry."

Zhang Junyan nodded Cheng Lin's head as if he just saw Cheng Lin who was in tears, "Look at you, I'm just making trouble for your brother."

Cheng Lin lowered his head and did not dare to speak, his small hands clenched the corner of Cheng Yihe's clothes.

Zhang Junyan's indifferent attitude made Cheng Yihe extremely dissatisfied.But after all, it was his second aunt, and now that he has grown up, he knows that the younger generation can't blame the elder at will, so he comforted Cheng Lin a few words, and then left.

Cheng Yihe put one hand in his pocket, and held on to the handlebar with the other hand. As soon as he walked to the door of the house, he heard Cheng Yixin crying and complaining inside, "My brother beat me! He beat me for a wild child! Woooo Woo..."

Cheng Yihe was completely impatient, kicked open the door, and threw the car into the aisle. Hearing the sound of his brother coming back, Cheng Yixin completely silenced the sound. Cheng Yihe snorted coldly and went straight back to his room.

It was not until dinner time that Zhao Ying called for someone in the yard, and Cheng Yihe came out of the room. It was the transition of spring and summer, and the weather was cool and pleasant. Zhao Ying set the dining table in the yard, and Cheng Yihe and Cheng Yixin just sat on the table. Father Cheng Rongjian came back from outside the door.

Cheng Rongjian is the head of the village, and those who drink and socialize are rarely at home, so they didn't wait for him for dinner.Zhao Ying hurriedly got up again and took a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Cheng Rongjian.

Cheng Rongjian seemed very happy today. He sat on the ponytail with a big horse, paused, and went to the cabinet to get a bottle of wine and put it on the table.

Zhao Ying asked with a smile: "What is so happy today?"

Cheng Rongjian said: "I went to the town for a meeting today, and I'm going to be transferred to work in the town."

Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile, her husband's promotion is of course a good thing for her.

But Cheng Rongjian saw that the other two little guys were just silently lowering their heads to eat, and then saw that Cheng Yixin had a big bruise on his forehead, and asked, "What? Are you fighting again?"

Cheng Yihe snorted coldly, and Cheng Yixin whispered, "...No."

Seeing his useless appearance, Cheng Yihe became angry, and said, "If you hit him, why do you say no? It's really not a thing."

Zhao Ying's expression darkened immediately, "Cheng Yihe! What do you say about your brother!?"

Cheng Rongjian was not angry, and said with a smile: "Boy, that's the way it is, but Xiao Yi, you've gone too far. He's your brother after all."

Cheng Yihe said: "If he really dares to fight with me, I respect him as a man..."

Cheng Yihe raised his chin stubbornly. Although he was a bit arrogant, he was still a young man, thin and thin, and he was a bit funny when he was young and old. Cheng Rongjian laughed uncontrollably.

Cheng Yihe gave his father a blank look, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't laugh! Look at Cheng Yixin, who dominates outside, but is a softie when he comes home..."

Zhao Ying interrupted: "Then you can't beat him either. Brothers, what can't be said properly."

Cheng Yihe said: "Then Cheng Lin is also my younger brother, and I just watched Cheng Yixin bully him?"

When Cheng Rongjian heard it, he finally understood. He immediately straightened his face and said, "Xiaoxin, are you bullying my younger brother? It's outrageous!"

Both father and son attacked Cheng Yixin at the same time, and Zhao Ying was even more reluctant to let the younger son be wronged, saying: "How can you defend others?"

Cheng Yihe suppressed the anger in his stomach, and burst out all at once. He threw his chopsticks and stood up, "What is maintenance? You are the indiscriminate maintenance! Do you want Cheng Yixin to be used to breaking the law in the future, so that you will be happy?" !"

Zhao Ying didn't expect Cheng Yihe to contradict her so suddenly, and pointed at him angrily, trembling and speechless: "You...you..."

Cheng Yihe had strode past her and rushed out the door. Zhao Ying's sharp voice came from behind, "Don't come back when you leave!"

Cheng Yihe strode away early, and Cheng Rongjian could only vaguely hear Cheng Rongjian muttering, "You really can't make sense of the girl."
