strong romance

When Cheng Kuang came back from a walk with his grandma, he dumped the two bags of plastic bottles on the ground, crushed them one by one, and threw them into the small shed. Together with yesterday's ones, a snakeskin bag would be filled.

Cheng Yi moved a few low stools from the house and put them under the grapefruit tree, sitting and chatting with grandma.Cheng Kuang squatted next to the faucet to wash his hands. Amid the rushing water, grandma's voice seemed to be stretched out.

"Hey, I thought it was good to go for a walk without picking up the bottle, but I couldn't hold back..."

After hearing this, Cheng Yi said, "Your old man's presbyopic eyes can see the bottle most clearly, like thieves' eyes. Can you bear it?"

Grandma chuckled: "I can't help it... I'm used to picking it up, and I feel itchy when I see it, so I can't do it if I don't pick it up."

Cheng Kuang was brought up by his grandma. After he could walk, he followed his grandma like a tail. At that time, his grandfather was still there, and the grandparents and grandchildren each carried a flashlight when they walked at night.Stroll around in the small woods and on the small streets, and shake the plastic bags when you get home to see who has the most "trophies".

Life was difficult at that time. Most of the bottles and cans were picked up to subsidize the family. Later, these things became less and less valuable, and the living conditions were not as tight as before. The income from selling waste products became dispensable.It's just that the habit that has been with me for many years can't be overcome at once, so my grandma keeps picking up bottles as a hobby after dinner.

The boy who grew up a little bit gradually has the concept of "face". When he picks up a bottle and meets an acquaintance of the same age, he feels ashamed to have a fever. The hot spot on the face immediately cooled down, and then became even hotter—as if someone slapped the face severely. The so-called "face" is like an empty soda can thrown on the ground——with a click, it was slapped. He stomped on it.

Grandma has pulled him to such a size with bottle and can, if he stays out of it, he is really useless.

Cheng Kuang went into the house to get grapefruit, and took a deck of playing cards from the refrigerator.

"It is said that the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round. Today's moon is indeed rounder than that of the Mid-Autumn Festival." Grandma saw the bright full moon in the sky through the branches and leaves of the grapefruit tree, and then her eyes dropped to the playing cards. Suddenly, as if talking to himself, "It would be great if your grandpa was here."

Cheng Yi put her hand on the back of grandma's hand and rubbed it gently.

Cheng Kuang shuffled the cards in silence, he was a little absent-minded.

Cheng Youyi, who ran away from home, has not been heard from until now. Fang Youzhen is still at odds with his grandmother, and he actually returns to Yanshi Street with a "home" in mind.Then this thought was shattered into scum at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner table amidst the laughter of Cheng Youde's family.

Why?Cheng Youde can have a happy family - at least it seems so.But what is his home?If a family does not form a family, every stroke and painting will fall apart.

It was eight o'clock in a flash, and the TV series that grandma must watch every night had already started. Cheng Yi accompanied her into the house, and Cheng Kuang found an excuse to go out.He walked all the way to the ditch, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket—he bought them last night. Cheng Kuang hadn't touched cigarettes for a while, and Cheng Youyi didn't smoke when he ran away from home.But now I am standing alone by the smelly ditch, but I really miss the smell of smoke.

After Cheng Kuang smoked a cigarette, he walked along the ditch to the end, waited for the wind to blow away the smell of cigarettes on his body, and went to the store to buy a bottle of water to rinse his mouth to quench his thirst.He returned along the same road, and his restless mood gradually calmed down.

However, this kind of calm is like a mirror in water. When Cheng Kuang returned to his grandma's house, a loud shout from the room shattered the peace in an instant, and brought Cheng Kuang back to the hideous reality.

Not long after Cheng Kuang left, an uninvited guest reeking of alcohol broke into the door.

Cheng Youde came back from some banquet, with a crimson face, his whole body was marinated by wine.As soon as he came, he overturned the TV set, almost poked grandma's forehead with his fingers, and shouted: "Fuck you! You have a good life, I watch your mother's crazy TV!"

The TV screen suddenly went black, and it slammed down on the table, rolling the fruit on the table to the ground. The water in the water glass was directly sprinkled on the power strip, making the sound of electric current, and a bunch of fruit popped out of the socket. Sparks, a smell of burnt wires coming from the jack.Cheng Yi was so frightened by this unexpected kick that her face turned pale. Grandma said with a serious face, "You are sick and go to the hospital. Don't run into my room at will. Ghosts will have a headache when they see you!"

"Hey, isn't it just you, an old ghost? Well, you see me with a headache, right? Give me the money, and I'll leave right away, do you think I want to see you old and immortal?" Cheng Youde spat Take a sip, "You don't listen when you talk to you in a good voice. You say that when you are old, what's the use of keeping the money? Take it into the coffin? Why don't I have to carry it up the mountain after death! Our family is harmonious Are you angry? If you insist on making everyone unhappy, what benefits can you get?"

Grandma didn't say a word, Cheng Yi couldn't take it anymore, she stared at Cheng Youde, and shouted at him: "Get out!"

"Why should I get out? Who are you? This is my house, so it's your turn to talk?" Cheng Youde didn't pay attention to Cheng Yi, "It just so happens that the children of the second family are here today, and I don't want to scare the children. Old man, let me leave the word here, you don’t want to get out unless you hand over the money! I come every night, be careful that one day you will die by my hands!”

Successfully frightened the old lady so much that she dared not look at him, Cheng Youde laughed like a lunatic a few times, turned around and left contentedly.

As soon as he went out, Cheng Yi seemed to have collapsed, suddenly grabbed the bench, threw it on the ground forcefully, and cursed: "Beast!"

Grandma wanted to stop it but it was too late, she turned pale with shock: "You are ignorant! If he comes back..."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Youde's devilish figure appeared outside the screen door. He kicked the door open and slapped Cheng Yi on the face: "Little bastard! Is it your turn to teach me a lesson?"

Grandma rushed forward and protected Cheng Yi behind her: "The child is ignorant, what are you fussing about with her!"

"Oh, she's ignorant and you're ignorant?" Cheng Youde sneered, and suddenly grabbed grandma's arm and dragged her to the main room outside.There is a yellowed photo hanging on the wall of the main room. He threw people to the corner like throwing garbage, pointed to the photo and said: "My father is here, you feel your conscience and say, do you take the money he saved?" ! You old coffin, when you are sick, disabled, and dying, you know you have to rely on your cubs, and you are usually eccentric, and you are such a mother? I will send you on the road ahead of time when I get angry!"

The grandma was pushed to the ground, and she couldn't bear to wipe away her tears: "God, what's the point of living after giving birth to such a cub, it's better for Lord Yan to take me away..."

I don't know which word of her words offended her beast son, Cheng Youde grabbed the scissors on the table, pointed the tip at grandma: "It's not easy to want to die! Hades won't accept it, I will accept it!"

——Cheng Kuang saw this scene when he rushed to the door.

Why is Cheng Youde still alive?Why is he still alive!

The inhuman hatred tore through the young man's immature body. At that moment, he had only one vicious thought in his eyes: he must let Cheng Youde, a beast, die.

So when Cheng Yi stood in front of grandma, she saw Cheng Kuang, with red eyes and full of hostility, copying the bench and knocking Cheng Youde to the ground with a stool, followed by a burst of punches and kicks like crazy, Cheng Youde's head was buzzing He was beaten so hard that he couldn't fight back.However, the young man immersed in great hatred did not intend to let him go easily. Cheng Youde was lying on the cold ground. When Cheng Kuang's violent behavior finally stopped, he was just relieved, and fell into even greater panic in a blink of an eye. In the middle—he saw Cheng Kuang coming out of the kitchen, holding a machete for chopping ribs in his hand.

"Ahhh!" Cheng Youde yelled like he was insane, and when he was about to die, he showed his extraordinary escape potential. He got up on the ground with his hands and feet, and saved his life from the knife.Then the frightened bastard didn't dare to look back, and fled back to his home without hesitation.

Cheng Kuang chased all the way out, hacking at the iron gate of his house desperately.

Cheng Yi's face was bloodless, and when she rushed to Cheng Kuang's back and hugged him, her legs became weak, and she almost couldn't support herself and fell to the ground.However, she still tried her best to drag Cheng Kuang back, but at this time Cheng Kuang was so stubborn that the three cows could not move, Cheng Yi could only keep calling his name and repeating one sentence: "It's okay, don't worry about it." chopped."

Cheng Kuang's frantic state lasted for an unknown amount of time, until he heard Cheng Yi calling "Grandma" in a panic, and his fascination returned to his place.

Grandma lowered her head and leaned against the wall, nosebleeds poured out of her nostrils in large streams. Cheng Yi took a bowl of warm water and drank it, and soon the whole bowl of water turned scarlet.

The machete in Cheng Kuang's hand fell to the ground with a clang.He looked at grandma blankly, his brain was occupied by panic, fear and blankness, this kind of overwhelmed mood, even if Cheng Youde was killed [-] times, it could not alleviate the slightest bit.

"Go to the hospital to buy medicine!" Cheng Yi shouted at him.

Only then did Cheng Kuang react from the panic, and hurriedly pedaled on the bicycle, riding fast on the bumpy road.

The fear of hindsight bent the back of the 16-year-old boy, tensing it into a fully stretched bow, but the wind was still blowing coolly, and the moon was still carefree and round.

The world is full of real misery and fake joy, no matter how heavy the yoke mortals bear and how life is worse than pigs and dogs, it is not worth putting it on God, let alone an insignificant teenager and not uncommon family disputes .

For some reason, Cheng Kuang suddenly thought of the "robbery" that grandma had said. For the first time, he became flustered and superstitious.
