gorgeous summer

When Zhang Yu walked out of the gate of the prison, the dazzling sunlight made him close his eyes. The sunlight shone through his eyelids, and the darkness turned into a red color, slowly smudged, comfortable and warm.Two years... Time flies by, and he still hasn't packed up his mood to go home.

"Brother!" A clear and magnetic voice sounded not far away, and it reached the ears along with the bang of the door closing behind him.He opened his eyes, and the figure of his relatives across the road almost made him cry.

"Yu'er." Mom's voice was a little excited, she was already sobbing.Zhang Yu was a little flustered, the mother in front of him had grown white hair on her temples, and the young and energetic mother had become vicissitudes because of him, and his father comforted him softly.And Zhang Xuan couldn't wait to rush towards him, he had pulled out his big and tall figure and bumped Zhang Yu into a stagger, Zhang Yu hugged his younger brother tightly in his arms, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

On the way home, Zhang’s father drove, Zhang Xuan sat in the front seat, Zhang’s mother and Zhang Yu sat in the back, the atmosphere was a little silent, Zhang Yu felt a little at a loss in front of his mother, he was afraid that his mother would ask about what happened at that time, He hasn't figured out how to explain it yet.

"Mom... I'm sorry." In the end, Zhang Yu couldn't help but hold the hand of his sobbing mother, comforting him softly.

"Silly boy, mom knows everything, so I don't blame you." Zhang's mother finally broke into a smile, wiped her tears, and gave the eldest son a shudder.

"Oh, mom, why are you still so violent!"

Life returned to calm again. After graduation, Zhang Xuan found a good company in City A. The company has a dormitory for singles, and she goes home once a week.Zhang Yu is a little depressed. Since he was released from prison, he has always encountered obstacles everywhere in his work. Because he has a criminal record, he has been out of touch with the outside world in the past two years. The interviews of several units ended in failure, and he had no choice but to become unemployed at home. Homeless, although his parents didn't say anything, Zhang Yu knew that he was already the talk of the neighbors, and even children who passed by were dragged around by their parents. His reputation in this small town is estimated to be From the moment he entered prison, he became a villain.So, I didn't even want to go out.

Knowing the son is better than the mother, Zhang's mother sees that her son is in a bad mood, and staying at home is not an option, and she can't be anxious about work, so she arranges blind dates for Zhang Yu, and the frequency even catches up with Zhang Xuan's return home The number of times, so Zhang Yu faced the second test of his life. He watched the gorgeous girl No. 80 put the coffee bill under the cup once, and finally made up his mind to run away from home.

To be honest, it was also a coincidence. When I came out of the coffee shop that day, I ran into an inmate who was released from prison early. This guy was involved in a fight because he stood up for his brother. He carried it down, and he didn't confess any of the few buddies who ran away but were not caught.At that time, Zhang Yu asked him why. He said that his family was in trouble before, and those buddies donated money to help him without saying a word, he remembered.Zhang Yu was moved by his words at the time, so the two became friends during the dark two years.

The inmate's surname is Zhao. When he heard that he was looking for a job, he immediately agreed to help.Within two days, he was told that there was a construction site in City A, and his brother was there, and let him go there.I didn’t know until I went there that the construction site that Lao Zhao mentioned was really a construction site. I waited for work with my uncle and aunt every day, and did everything. I didn't suffer too much. If there is any easy and well-paid job, I will introduce it to him first. The income is not bad, but it is a little dirty and tiring.He rented a house with Zhao Bao and others not far from the construction site. In order to prevent Zhang's mother from knowing that he was a migrant worker outside, he went home once a week like Zhang Xuan and told his family that he had found a small company to do it. For sale, every time I go back, I wear it clean.The workers all laughed at him saying that he was not like a man, and Zhang Yu just laughed it off.

It was concealed like this for a few months, and everything went smoothly. However, Zhang Yu fell off the iron frame and broke his leg during high-altitude operations. Fortunately, the iron frame was not very high at the time, but he just broke his leg. Informed his family to accompany him to the bed. He knew that he was dressed like this. The hospital must have thought that he could not afford the medical bills. After looking through his mobile phone for a long time, Zhang Yu couldn't find a friend's number. Zhang Xuan at work called.When Zhang Xuan received the call, he rushed over in a hurry. Seeing the dirty and embarrassed brother in front of him, Zhang Xuan was in a daze for a moment.Zhao Bao pulled Zhang Xuan to file a complaint, feeling very new about the handsome guy in front of him, and talked about it for a while, finally sent Zhao Bao away, Zhang Xuan finally found a chance to talk to Zhang Yu.

"Don't tell Mom about this." Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "Just say I work overtime when you go back this week."

Zhang Xuan firmly disagreed: "You are sick and need to be taken care of, and I don't feel relieved if I go back."

Zhang Yu tried his best to comfort him: "Isn't there a nurse here? If you don't go home, our mother will definitely become suspicious. How can you explain it to me then?"

"I can explain it any way I want." Zhang Xuan muttered, but he still couldn't get rid of his brother's bad temper, and went home obediently on Sunday.It's just that he was a little out of his mind all day long, and Zhang's mother called him to eat twice before hearing it.

After the meal, Zhang's mother pulled him aside mysteriously and asked him, "Honestly, did you make friends outside? Are you sorry to take them home?"

Zhang Xuan, who originally thought things were going wrong, was so surprised that his jaw dropped, why the hell would he think so.

"No, mom, it was the unit that informed me that I would go back to work overtime in the afternoon, so..."

Mother Zhang didn't suspect him, and complained: "Everyone is working overtime, the current unit is really real. But if you really make friends outside, you have to tell Mom, don't hide it, Mom has been working all these years. I thought about it, but the society is so chaotic now, if you meet an unreliable mother, don't worry..."

"I know, I know! Mom, I'm going to leave first after working overtime in the afternoon!" Zhang Xuan hurried out the door, fearing that if she stayed for a while, she would reveal herself.

His mother's words lingered in his ears, and his heart was warm. He must convey these words to his brother intact. Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan suddenly became sad. His brother fought and went to jail because of him, and now he is still because of He couldn't find a job for this matter, but he was jealous of his brother's blind date, and even got into an awkward situation.He felt so uncomfortable that the door of the hospital suddenly became heavy. How should he face Zhang Yu in the future?Can he live with his future sister-in-law calmly?Can... just watch him get married and have children?

No.

Maybe it will become the same as the college meeting, causing harm to my brother and mother, so that it will eventually form an irreparable situation.

But this matter has been held in his heart for too long, and he feels dirty when it becomes moldy.But it was hard work.

"Isn't this Xiaoxuan? Why don't you go in when you're here?" A big palm patted Zhang Xuan's shoulder. Due to too much strength, he staggered. Zhang Xuan turned around and saw an uncle in jeans Just putting his hands on his shoulders, the uncle's beard was obviously just shaved, and there were still blue stubble.

"Why, don't you know me?" The uncle smiled honestly, showing his white teeth. Zhang Xuan saw that his smile looked familiar, but he still didn't remember it.

"Hey, I went back and shaved my head, didn't I become handsome!" The uncle touched his face in satisfaction, then stroked Zhang Xuan's hair, and said, "I'm Zhao Bao? The one who sent your brother to the hospital the day the accident happened?" , don’t you know me? It’s your brother who thinks I’m sloppy, and he’s bringing food to him, but he still wants me to clean up before coming here, and if he thinks I’m ashamed, he’ll be hungry!” After finishing speaking, he laughed: I’m just kidding .

Only then did Zhang Xuan notice that there were two pancakes in the plastic bag in his hand.

"My brother asked you to deliver food for him?"

"Ang, that's not true. He said that the food in the hospital is so expensive that he asked me to buy two pancakes for him, and specifically asked me to put two eggs for him to make up for it." Zhao Bao shook the pancakes in his hand after speaking.

"I need to mend... this idiot." Zhang Xuan muttered, but his heart was not feeling well, as if boiling water poured over his chest, it was scalding hot and painful.

"What did you say?" Zhao Bao didn't understand and leaned over to ask, Zhang Xuan regained consciousness, startled by the face that suddenly appeared in front of him.Zhao Bao was amused by his dumbfounded appearance.

Zhang Xuan was a little annoyed, but not easy to get angry, snatched the pancake from Zhao Bao's hand, turned around and pushed him away: "My brother has me here, you go back first."

Zhao Bao didn't move at all, and blinked: "That can't be done, your brother said that it is inconvenient to move, and his body is about to smell moldy, let me come over and help him take a bath."

Zhang Xuan froze: "Why didn't he tell me?"

Zhao Bao laughed and said, "How can you move him with your small body? Besides, we brothers live together every day, with rough skin and thick flesh. He may be embarrassed to see you with thin skin and tender flesh."

"Excuse me?" Zhao Bao's unintentional words caused Zhang Xuan to taste several flavors.Why are you embarrassed?The brothers have been together for more than 20 years every day, and it would be embarrassing for a person who has only rented together for a few days to say that he met his brother.Zhang Xuan's voice froze several feet in an instant: "Don't worry, I have exercised and can move him. I have business to talk to my brother, please go back first, I will explain to him. And thank you these days Take care of my brother."

No matter how thick-skinned Zhao Bao was, he could see Zhang Xuan's displeasure. Although he didn't understand what made him unhappy, he still walked away wisely.

When Zhang Xuan entered, Zhang Yu was flipping through a stack of old newspapers, with one foot resting on the edge of the bed, without raising his head: "Old Zhao, pour me a glass of water."

Zhang Xuan handed over a glass of water, Zhang Yu put down the glass and stretched out his hand after drinking, Zhang Yu handed over the boxed lunch he brought, Zhang Yu stared at the boxed lunch for two seconds, and asked: "Old Zhao, when will you put the money fan here?" Has the problem been corrected?"

The corners of Zhang Xuan's eyebrows twitched, suppressed his anger, and threw the boxed lunch on the table: "Would you like to eat it or not."

Zhang Yu sat up in shock, accidentally touched his injured leg, and grinned in pain: "Why... why is it you, I thought it was Lao Zhao."

"Old Zhao, Lao Zhao, it's very easy for you to get him to work. Why don't you call me if you have something to do?" Zhang Xuan sulked, picked up the pancake in his hand and ate a couple of bites, thinking that it would be too bad to eat, but still bit the bullet and swallowed it. down.

"Aren't I afraid that your mother will hear you answering the phone?" Zhang Xuan scratched her head, staring at the boxed lunch in front of her and swallowing her saliva.

Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes at him. He didn't know his brother anymore. He was probably afraid that it would be embarrassing for him to bathe him, and he couldn't move himself... Zhang Xuan thought, his heart warmed up, and he couldn't help but soften his voice: "Eat quickly , there is your favorite braised pork."

Zhang Yu looked down at the boxed lunch, then at the pancake Zhang Xuan was eating, and couldn't bear to say, "Let's eat together."

Let's eat together... Zhang Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red. Ever since he was a child, Zhang Yu has said this a lot. He wants to eat all good things together, and even give them to him directly.Just because he is young, because he is the younger brother and Zhang Yu is the older brother.As time goes by, he has become a habit, and he doesn't feel that he enjoys his brother's humility and sharing, but he has never refused, nor has he felt his brother's thoughts. Maybe his brother also has things that he doesn't want to give up, like Xing Na—this is A thorn in his throat could not be pulled out or swallowed, but Zhang Yu was the one who suffered the consequences in the end.During Zhang Yu's two years in prison, Zhang Xuan couldn't sleep well every day. It wasn't until Zhang Yu was not around that Zhang Xuan suddenly realized that Zhang Yu was actually the one who was really hurt.He and Li Yong's nonsense hurt Zhang Yu unconsciously until Zhang Yu was sent to prison.But from beginning to end, Zhang Yu still gave priority to his ignorant younger brother.

Zhang Xuan looked at his dazed younger brother inexplicably, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No..." Zhang Xuan threw down the pancake in her hand, thinking when she would become a mother-in-law like a woman, she picked up chopsticks and stuffed a large piece of lean meat into her mouth.

Zhang Yu looked tearfully at the biggest piece of lean meat entering his younger brother's mouth: "Xiao Xuan... didn't you say you bought it for me?"

"What's the matter if I take a bite, you said you want me to eat together." Zhang Xuan wiped her mouth, handed over the chopsticks, and watched Zhang Yu wolfing down her heart with joy—whatever, his brother is his anyway That's it.
