love like wind

There was no evening self-study in the first day of junior high school. Xu Li did not do his homework after school. He just lay on the coffee table and watched Yang Jiayou and Yang Jiayu play flying chess, because the two of them often quarreled over trivial matters. With Xu Li, there seemed to be more than one family. referee.

Elders are often biased, Yang Jiayou thinks that Xu Li will not.

Yang Jiayou repeatedly emphasized that he must never be blamed like the last time he brushed his teeth, but for any activities related to his sister, even if they were eating at the same table, Yang Jiayou insisted that Xu Li sit between him and his sister.

Yang Jiayu often stares at his brother, but at least he doesn't call him by his first name like before.

Facing Xu Li, she chose to keep her mouth shut most of the time.

Occasionally when Yang Jiayu ate a sandwich and rubbed ketchup on her face, Xu Li would carefully wipe it off for her. This was Yang Jiayu's happiest moment, and she would make faces at her brother, making Yang Jiayou roll her eyes in anger.

Xu Li sat among them and wanted to laugh, he really didn't understand why their brother and sister always looked like enemies.

Seeing Yang Jiayu's radiance, radiance, innocence and persistence, Xu Li often thought, if only his sister was still alive, he would give her the best things in the world.

"Hey, why are you in a daze?" Yang Jiayou waved to Xu Li.

Looking at him from such a close distance, Xu Li discovered that Yang Jiayou looked like Uncle Yang, with a wheat complexion, short black hair, single eyelids, the corners of his eyes slightly upward, and his black and white eyes were distinct.And Yang Jiayu looks like Aunt Xu, with fair complexion, double eyelids, faint pear dimples at the corners of her mouth, and fluttering eyelashes. Every time she wears a skirt, she looks as beautiful as a delicate doll.

"Not in a daze." Xu Li withdrew his gaze.

Yang Jiayou sneered, "You can't hide it from my eyes." When he was bored, he liked to observe Xu Li very much, and thought he was very strange, trying to laugh even though he wanted to cry.But Dad said that you can't make fun of others at will, and his curiosity about Xu Li only stopped at observing secretly.

There are more Xu Li in the family, and the attention of parents is scattered, at least they won't be inclined to sister like before, Yang Jiayou feels comfortable instead.Whenever watching Yang Jiayu and Xu Li play chess, Yang Jiayou felt it was a kind of relief. Once the three of them sat in the living room watching TV, Yang Jiayou said in a low voice: "I gave you my sister," he said, lifting the Lift your chin, and give the task like a leader, "You must take care of it."

With pointed ears, Yang Jiayu looked at Yang Jiayou faintly, "Who do you think cares about you? I don't want you as a brother, hmph!"

As she said that, she looked at Xu Li, and saw an indescribable tenderness in his eyes, and the feeling of choking came to her heart instantly, and she rubbed her eyes.Yang Jiayou jumped up from the sofa in fright, "I'm going, here we go again."

Xu Li turned his face to look at him, "Can't you just say a few words less?"

To Yang Jiayou's surprise, Yang Jiayu didn't cry, but sobbed very quietly. When she raised her head again, there was a light smile on the corner of her mouth, and dimples emerged. That smile reminded people of cherry blossom petals floating on the water. Only running water can carry it.

Yang Jiayu didn't look at himself, but looked at Xu Li. Yang Jiayou's heart was bristling, and he squeezed between his sister and Xu Li. He asked Yang Jiayu eagerly, "What are you doing? Did he bully you?"

The atmosphere was spoiled by Yang Jiayou, Yang Jiayu gave him a blank look, and said slowly: "Aside from you, who else would bully me?"

Xu Li couldn't help laughing.

Yang Jiayu's intelligence is not as good as that of ordinary children, but her sensibilities are normal. It's just that too many people look at her with the eyes of a patient, thinking that she doesn't seem to have emotions, anger, sorrow, or joy. Xu Li will not be like this——

He would ask her why she doesn't like to eat green beans, she would patiently explain the rules of flying chess, and she would look up the dictionary with her.

Xu Li fits all of Yang Jiayu's fantasies about his elder brother, being gentle, careful, and silent.

After all, every time she looked at Yang Jiayou, she felt angry.

The parents didn't talk much about Xu Li's family. Even though Yang Jiayou didn't like to see Xu Li at first, now he thinks it is acceptable to have one more person in the family. He thought that life would continue like this.

Until one day, a strange woman came to the house, her face looked haggard, her temples had gray hair faintly, and she was wearing a gray factory uniform, looking dusty.

Xu Ying signaled Yang Jiayou to take her sister upstairs with her eyes, while Xu Li was left in the living room.

Parents look more serious than usual.

Yang Jiayou made a 'shh' gesture to Yang Jiayu, and she cooperated to keep quiet. The brother and sister were so tacit, squatting on the highest step of the stairs to eavesdrop on the adults' speech.

The strange woman said: "Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, I am Xu Li's aunt, Xu Mingju."

"Hello." Xu Ying made a cup of tea for Xu Mingju.

Xu Li sat next to his aunt expressionlessly, and heard his aunt continue to say: "I only found out about my mother's death last week. I missed the funeral. I went to the cemetery according to the address Mr. Yang sent me." She Tucking the corners of his eyes lightly, "I've been away from home for many years, my brother and Mr. Yang are comrades-in-arms, right?"

"Yes," Yang Zhenhua nodded, "Some time ago we contacted Xu Li's mother's relatives, but considering the child's growth environment, we had no choice but to contact you."

Xu Mingju smiled uneasily, turned his face to look at his nephew, saw his brother's shadow vaguely from his side face, and felt a little unbearable.

Xu Ying asked: "Do you know the advice from the police?"

Xu Mingju nodded, "The police comrades told me that Xu Li was orphaned at a young age. As relatives, we should take good care of him."

Yang Zhenhua and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that they would encounter difficult relatives, and things would be difficult. Judging from Xu Mingju's tone, they shouldn't seem like troublemakers.

The two brothers and sisters upstairs were head to head, for fear of missing any details.

Yang Jiayu asked softly: "Brother, what are they talking about, I can't understand why."

"That person is Xu Li's aunt, she seems to be taking him away." Yang Jiayou said suspiciously.

Yang Jiayu opened his mouth wide, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Yang Jiayou, "Don't talk, or you won't hear a word later."

She nodded obediently.

Yang Jiayou looked at his younger sister up close, and found that she was really beautiful and well-behaved, not as crying as he remembered, and he felt a little more guilty towards his younger sister.

The conversation downstairs continued.

Yang Zhenhua said: "Mingda left a fortune before his death. The house they lived in before has paid off the loan. It stands to reason that these conditions are enough to support him to finish college and will not cost you extra money. He needs a stable house. residence."

"I know." Xu Mingju lowered her head and held her hands. The backs of her hands were cracked and her nails were bald. "Xu Li probably doesn't know about me. I ran away from home because I married my current husband. At that time, my mother became seriously ill with anger. She was a stubborn person, and she would not contact her if she said she would not contact her. A daughter, my brother has always helped us from time to time."

Xu Mingju wiped away tears, "I am ashamed of my brother and my mother, but even if Xu Li followed us, he is not in a better state than he was before. I have been paying for the original impulse all my life, so naturally I don't care about my brother's property. Will be greedy, but my husband is not necessarily. If he knows that there is this money, he will definitely try his best to search for it."

Xu Ying felt surprised: "Then you don't usually contact Xu Mingda? You don't even know about your mother's death."

Xu Mingju said: "When my brother was alive, we were always in contact. After my brother passed away, I went to visit the old man many times, but she kicked me out. I had no choice but to send her money every month. Every month." She paused, "Then my husband found out that I was secretly sending money home, and he—"

Xu Ying suddenly had a bad premonition, and soon, she saw Xu Mingju pull open her sleeves, and there were shocking scars on the back of her hands, some of which seemed to be quite new, "He hit someone?" Xu Ying pressed her chest, Feel out of breath.It is true that she has a bad temper, except for throwing chopsticks at Jiayou last time, she has never done anything to the child.

"It's not that I don't care about my brother's children." Xu Mingju looked down at his nephew and looked around, as if he had made some kind of decision, his tone was very slow, "I know that minors need guardians, and I will not give up my guardianship, but the family members The environment is really not suitable for Xu Li to go."

Yang Zhenhua asked: "What about your child? Wouldn't he beat someone too?"

Xu Mingju quickly waved his hands: "A tiger's poison doesn't eat its children, so it's true that my own children won't, but the two sisters have been punished."

After all, I still like to beat children.

Xu Ying's heart was extremely heavy. She looked at Xu Li and found that he didn't say a word, as if he stayed out of the matter, "Xu Li, what do you think?"

Xu Li raised his head and spoke calmly: "Uncle Yang, Aunt Xu, thank you, I'd better go home, in fact, I can cook by myself, and eat in the school cafeteria at noon, it's not convenient for my aunt to take care of me, so it's better for me to live in my own home Some. If I go to high school, I can live on campus, as Uncle Yang said just now, my father left me a sum of money, and I can live alone." He looked at his aunt Xu Mingju, "If Auntie is worried, you can Just visit me at school from time to time, and that's fine."

In the past month, Xu Li felt more and more that he was everyone's trouble, being kicked around like a football.The Yang family is very nice and warm, but this is not his home, just like raising a pet dog can't be the master.

Xu Li didn't know at this time that Yang Jiayou's wish to have a dog hadn't come true even if he was a member of this family.

Xu Li even thought that if he lived alone, he would raise a big dog so that he would not be so lonely.

Xu Ying wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be stuck.

Yang Jiayu at the stairs seems to understand a little bit, meaning that Xu Li is leaving here, right?She didn't even think about it, "No—"

Before she could say anything, Yang Jiayou covered her mouth and frowned, "Jiayu, you can't talk."

Yang Jiayu stared blankly at her brother, and then at her parents downstairs, feeling that each of them was very strange and indifferent, as if they were not her familiar relatives.If she heard correctly, Xu Li lives in Yang's house and won't spend more money from his parents. At most, he just provides a room. Why does everyone want to drive him away?Even that aunt has been refusing.

Her breathing stagnated slightly, and she found that even her brother, who always liked to express his opinions, was silent.

Seeing her calm down, Yang Jiayou slowly let go of her hand.

Yang Jiayu tugged her brother's sleeve tightly, shook his arm, and begged: "Brother, go and talk, why don't you say it?" She shed tears silently, "Mom and Dad don't take my words to heart, but you Go ahead and tell them, they will definitely listen to you.”

Yang Jiayou squatted in front of his sister with difficulty, tears flashed in his eyes, he thought for a while before saying: "Jiayu, this is not something we can decide, really, our strength is very small."
