First love is poisonous

Dong Yijiu woke up, completely awake.

One of them was on the bed and the other was under the bed, staring at each other, the air was suddenly quiet.

Liu Ke watched Dong Yi's expression change from blank to distorted, his brows slowly wrinkled, his eyes changed from half awake to deep and dark, his crooked body sat upright, and he lowered his head... Now he is very sure Dong Yi is indeed drunk, not pretending to be drunk.

to finish.

He stretched out his head and carefully looked at the opponent's navel three inches below.The trousers are still in good condition, the indoor slippers are clean and there is no possibility of shoe prints, so he kicked it just now...

"If you read on, I won't guarantee that I will do something." The voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of drunkenness.

He looked away in a jerk, tried to sit up from the bed calmly, tidied up the messy clothes, and said quickly, "If you wake up, go wash up and go to sleep, it's getting late, I'll go back first, good night. "After speaking, he got up and prepared to slip.

"Xiao Ke." Dong Yi didn't get up, he just supported his body on his arms and moved to the carpet beside the bed. He stretched out his long legs and blocked his way, "Sit down, I haven't corrected you yet after checking today's homework." , today’s work is over today.”

Liu Ke turned his head to look at him in disbelief, "It's all like this and you still have to correct your mistakes?"

Dong awakened the soul of a schoolmaster after being drunk. Yi raised his hand and pressed his forehead, then frowned and looked at him, "Are you doubting my determination to help you make up lessons, or do you think I'm the kind of irresponsible person?"

"..." That's right, that's exactly the same as when I was holding him for tutoring back then.

"Come here." Dong Yi patted the carpet with a serious face, "Where are the textbooks, paper and pens? You must have a learning attitude when you study."

Liu Ke rolled his eyes, stood up straight, hugged his chest, and straightened his face, "Before you put on your clothes, everything that comes out of your mouth is unreliable and has no learning attitude. Good night drunk!" Stepping over the long legs blocking the way in front of him, he walked to the door and turned around, took a step back, grabbed the door handle, and slammed the door hard.

boom!

The cold wind blowing from the door came directly towards the door, Dong Yi's body tensed unconsciously, and goose bumps appeared.He frowned and looked at the door for a while, lowered his eyes, stood up with the help of the bed, touched the place on his thigh where he was kicked, and some discordant lights filled his eyes, "Sooner or later, I'll get you done."

After the new year, the peak of Spring Festival travel has officially arrived.

"Go by car." Dong Yi calculated the distance from city B to province A, and said, "Tickets and air tickets are not easy to buy these days. It only takes one day to drive to province A from here, not too long."

Cheng Tian took out his mobile phone, "I'll find someone to book a plane ticket."

Liu Ke also took out his mobile phone, "David said he can help me buy a high-speed rail ticket from the official railway ticketing website that is paralyzed and congested as soon as the Spring Festival travel rush arrives."

Dong Xiaoyi, who was trying to take a not-so-romantic self-driving tour with his sweetheart, was in vain. After a pause, he also took out his mobile phone, "No need, I'll ask Liu Jin to get the ticket, he has a solution."

Cheng Tian and Liu Ke paused for pressing the phone, and Qi Qi looked at him with cool, calm, and meaningful eyes.Their looks were already somewhat similar, but now that they have been together for a while, their expressions and demeanors have become more and more alike. Looking at them together now, the effect is actually a bit permeating.

Hanbao just ran over with a molar stick in his mouth. Dong Yi picked it up decisively, trying to beautify himself, "I suggested driving there because of Hanbao. What should we do with him? If you drive, you can also take it with you." Bring it on."

Liu Ke immediately believed his words, and said, "It's okay, Han Bao can be taken care of by Uncle Qian for a few days."

Cheng Tian was not so easy to fool, and said coolly, "You are very courageous. You can't even walk and you want to drive to Province A. It took a day and a night. But... what happened to your leg?"

Dong Yi crossed his legs reflexively, lowered his head and licked the fool.Guiltyly, Liu Ke looked away, got up and said, "My soup should be ready soon, you guys chat first, I'll check the heat."

Cheng Tian watched him escape into the kitchen, leaned forward and picked up the small teapot to pour tea for himself, warning lightly, "It is not allowed to cross the line before marriage."

It was crossed ten years ago... Dong Yi nodded with a serious face, "I understand."

Cheng Tian looked up at his expression, and handed over the poured tea, "Remember what you promised today."

This was the first time that his brother-in-law poured tea for him. Dong Yi was overjoyed, took the teacup and promised, "It won't cross the line, brother, don't worry."

This is also the first time Dong Yi has called his elder brother directly. Cheng Tian raised his eyebrows, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the teacup and leaned against the back of the chair and said, "Hey, I will give you a red envelope later, remember to treat him later." Xiao Ke is obedient and obedient, three obediences and four virtues, understand?"

Dong Yi: "..."

Liu Jin's efficiency was so impressive, Dong Yi mentioned to him about booking the air ticket in the morning, and he sent the news that the air ticket had been booked at noon, and the next morning, the air ticket was delivered to No. 69 by the same city courier.

"Liu Jin is just your financial manager. It's unbelievable." Liu Ke touched the ticket and sighed a little, "It's really a shame for him to stay by your side. He is capable and fulfills his duties. Now it's the holiday period."

"I'll give him overtime pay and bonuses." Dong Yi moved his luggage into the trunk of the car and put his face in front of him. "I'll give him a platform. He can use his abilities and get what he needs."

With this sour tone, Liu Ke pushed his face away and rolled his eyes, "Be more mature."

Dong Yi pursed his lips, kissed his palm sideways, and reached out to hug him.

knock knock.

Cheng Tian knocked on the door, threw the scarf in his hand to Liu Ke, and glanced coolly at Dong Yi, "Be careful with your words and deeds outside, get in the car and set off after packing up, don't delay the plane."

The corners of Dong Yi's raised lips were flattened, and he helped Liu Ke put on the scarf, opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.

The plane took off on time, and Dong Yi and Cheng Tian, ​​who were in charge of packing the luggage yesterday, quickly fell asleep.Liu Ke helped them pull up the blanket and looked at the sky outside the window.

Year after year, he has always been alone on his trip back to his hometown, and suddenly he is accompanied by relatives and lovers. This sudden happiness always makes him unconsciously distracted when he is free, suspecting that all this is just a dream.Fortunately, he has lost his mind countless times, and when he comes back to his mind, there will always be one of these two people by his side.

Too lucky.

He put his hand on the glass and asked silently.Grandpa, are you protecting me?

Grandpa, I'm back to see you, together with the lover I didn't have time to introduce to you back then and the relatives I just recognized.

After arriving in province A, Dong Yi went to the car rental company to pick up the car that Liu Jin had rented for them in advance, then went to book a hotel for a good night's rest, and got up early the next day and drove to the village where Liu Ke grew up.

Ten years is enough to turn a teenager into a youth, and it is also enough to completely change the appearance of a village.Stone roads become concrete roads, and single lanes become double lanes.Farmland disappeared, replaced by factories.But fortunately, no matter how it changed, the hustle and bustle was perfectly separated from Grandpa Liu's resting place.

Grandpa Liu's tomb is on a hill outside the village. Liu Ke stopped under the hill, raised his head and watched silently for a while, then walked up.Dong Yi looked at the mountain bag, his eyes were in a trance for a moment, and he couldn't help but take his hand and shake it, confirming that the person beside him was really still alive.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ke looked back at him in doubt.

"Go slowly." Dong Yi came back to his senses, walked to his side and stood side by side with him, without letting go of his hand, "Be careful."

"The ground is full of dead grass and stones, how can it be slippery." Liu Ke replied, he was stunned when he met his eyes, and then held his hand back, and said in a low voice, "I'm still alive, all the time."

Dong Yi nodded, "Yes."

Cheng Tian slowed down and landed behind them, turned his head and glanced at the direction where the garbage dump was, then turned his head to look at the figure of the two walking side by side, and quietly followed.

The mountain is very remote, there are no farmlands or houses nearby, and few people usually pass by.

"This piece of land was hired by my grandfather when he was young to open a breeding farm. Later, the plan didn't work out for some reason, so it has been left unused. My grandfather said that when I grow up, I will build a new building for me here. Although the land is not suitable for farming, it is definitely good to feed chickens and ducks, so that I can come here to be a rich farmer when I get old." Liu Ke pointed to a general range of hills, bent down and began to pull out the long grass along the road. Withered Grass, "After my grandfather died, the village head suggested that I bury him in the old cemetery in the village. I refused, thinking that my grandfather liked this mountain bag, so I buried him here, and made a lot of paper ducks and chickens for him. I burned it, and hoped that he could become a wealthy farmer down here... But I regret it now, Grandpa is here alone without an old man and an old lady to accompany him to drink tea and play mahjong, it is too lonely."

Dong Yi helped him weed together and listened quietly.

The road leading to the tomb was quickly cleared, and a cement tombstone and a tomb surrounded by bricks appeared in sight. Liu Ke threw away the withered grass and tidied his clothes, took two steps forward, and stopped quickly when he thought of something , looking back at Dong Yi and Cheng Tian, ​​"Let's go and see grandpa together."

Dong Yi took a step forward to hold his hand, and Cheng Tian also stepped forward and patted his shoulder lightly.

There were also weeds around the tombstone. Liu Ke approached and began to clean it up. Dong Yi and Cheng Tian hurriedly put down the grave-sweeping things they were carrying, and tidied them carefully together.Soon, the weeds were cleared away, and the words "Tomb of Liu Hongchengke" on the tombstone, which was covered by long grass, were exposed.

Dong Yi and Cheng Tian stopped their hands, staring at the word "Cheng Ke" on it in a daze.

In addition to these words, the tombstone is also engraved with the birthdays of Grandpa Liu and Cheng Ke, and there is no words for XX descendants to erect a monument. It is as desolate as if the person buried in this tomb is a lonely person who has no descendants to pay homage to.The engraved name of Grandpa Liu on the stele is slightly larger, and the word Cheng Ke is slightly smaller, but it still makes people who see it feel palpitations.

Dong Yi pulled Liu Ke over and hugged him tightly, and put his face against him to feel his warmth, "Xiao Ke."

Cheng Tian withdrew his outstretched hand, and bent down to arrange the grave-sweeping things.

"It's okay." Liu Ke patted him on the back reassuringly, and said softly, "It's okay, I'm here."

Dong Yi quickly sorted out his emotions, let go of him and looked at him carefully for a while, frowned and tapped his forehead, "Don't mess around like this again in the future."

Liu Ke covered his forehead and smiled at him, nodded, turned to look at Cheng Tian, ​​and stretched out his wrist, "Brother, do you want to shake it?"

"Nonsense." Cheng Tian pushed his wrist away, brushed his fingers inadvertently across his exposed skin, quickly retracted it after a short pause, took out the grave-sweeping tools, stood up and straightened his clothes, and bowed solemnly to the tombstone, " Grandpa Liu, thank you for your life-saving and upbringing to Cheng Cheng, Cheng has nothing to repay, and I hope that I can repay you in the next life."

Liu Ke tilted his head to suppress the emotions in his heart, and when he stood up, he walked over and hugged him, then turned and knelt down, took the tomb-sweeping tool and began to refill the writing on the tombstone, smiled at the tombstone, and said, "Grandpa , I came to see you, with my brother and Dong Yi."

Dong Yi also tidied up his clothes and bowed solemnly towards the tombstone, then knelt down like Liu Ke, took out the yellow paper and started burning it, and introduced himself, "Grandpa, I am Dong Yi, I didn't follow up well when I came here ten years ago. You introduce yourself, sorry. I will take good care of Xiao Ke in the future."

The warmth of the hug still remained, Cheng Tian looked at Liu Ke who was kneeling in front of the tombstone in a daze, glanced at the tombstone, and knelt down too.

After writing the tombstone, Liu Ke took the yellow paper and started to burn it. While burning it, he babbled about his life for the past year, from selling the copyright of the game to changing the house, from re-meeting Dong Yi to recognizing Cheng Tian. Not a drop was missed.

The sun rose to the sky, and the yellow paper he brought had been burned. Liu Ke touched the words on the tombstone, supported Dong Yi's arm and stood up, with regret in his eyes, "It's a pity that I was in a trance when the funeral was held. Forgot to remind the person who made the tombstone to get a photo of grandpa on it."

Dong Yi hugged his shoulders and comforted him silently.

"Let's go." Liu Ke smiled at him, then looked at the tombstone and said, "Grandpa, I will come back to see you often in the future."

As the breeze blew, the ashes from the yellow paper rolled and floated in front of him, and then slowly swayed down, like a soul responding to his words.

It was still early after sweeping the tomb, and the three of them stood at the entrance of the village in relative silence. After a long time, Liu Ke finally made a decision, "Go in and out and have a look. After so many years, I don't know that the village chief who helped me back then is still there." No, Grandpa's funeral can be completed smoothly thanks to his help, I haven't thanked him properly yet."

Dong Yi nodded and drove the car parked on the side of the road over.

The village has changed a lot. The dirt road that used to enter the village has become a wide concrete road with flower beds beside the road.The bungalows are all gone, and turned into beautiful small buildings. Most of the cars are parked at the door, which shows that the quality of life of the villagers here is very good.

Liu Ke watched in a daze, and could only see some familiar traces from the old trees that hadn't been cut down by the roadside and the vaguely familiar layout of the houses, and murmured, "It's really changed..."

Cheng Tian, ​​who was sitting with him in the back seat, was finally able to comfort his younger brother first, patted his shoulder, and said gently, "Change is a good thing, and the most terrible thing is to stay still."

Liu Ke looked away and smiled at him, nodded, "Indeed, everyone is doing well, that's good."

Following his memory, he came to the old house at the end of the village. Liu Ke got out of the car, looked at this one-story house that looked very different among the beautiful small buildings around him, took a deep breath, pushed open the wooden fence door outside, and stepped into the house. .

The yard is full of withered grass, and the wooden gate still has traces of white paper left by the funeral.There was a large iron lock on the door, and the lock was rusty. Liu Ke took out an iron key that had been rubbed a little from his pocket, inserted it into the lock with difficulty, and turned it twice.

The lock clicked twice, but it was not broken, and it bounced off.

With rust on his hands, he rubbed unconsciously, took off the lock, and pushed open the wooden door.

Dust hit his face, and the cobwebs on the door frame broke and hung down. He looked at the portrait of Mao XX hanging on the main room and the couplet next to the portrait, and blinked his head sideways to suppress the tears that were overflowing with hopelessness.

The tables and chairs in the house were rotten and broken because they had not been used for a long time, and the scattered things on the table fell to the ground.In the corner of the main room, there is still the bed board supported by chairs, which was used for the mortuary of Grandpa Liu.Back then, he was so focused on avenging his grandfather that he left before he had time to clean up.

He knelt down and touched the bed board, and picked up a safety talisman that fell on it, the sourness in his nose could no longer be suppressed.

"Grandpa begged me for this before I went to high school, and told me to carry it with me, but I didn't obey." He held the broken and dusty amulet tightly, his eyes flushed, "I'm too unfilial gone."

Dong Yi stepped forward to hold his shoulder, bent down and kissed the top of his head.

He shook his head and stood up, put the peace talisman in his pocket, and walked towards the room where Grandpa Liu used to live.

The furnishings inside the house are very old and also full of dust. The quilt on the bed had been brought to Grandpa Liu's stele by the village chief and burned during the funeral.Open the closet, there are four seasons clothes and a square biscuit box neatly placed inside.

Liu Ke took off the box and opened it, touched the pile of letters carefully placed inside, and said in a low voice, "I lived in school back then, and in order to save travel expenses, I only came back to visit grandpa during the holidays, and sometimes I found a place to work. Maybe I can’t even come back during the big vacation. I’m afraid that grandpa will miss me, so I write letters to grandpa every day, write down what I do every day, mark the date and put it away, and bring it back to grandpa when I’m on vacation, so that grandpa Reading a letter a day is like I am accompanying his old man every day."

Dong Yi remembered how serious he was always writing letters to his grandfather back then, and couldn't help but step forward and hug him.

"I should have come back to take a look." He carefully rearranged the letter, imagining how his grandpa would look at these letters, his voice slowly choking, "I lied to grandpa back then, saying that the money I earned from part-time jobs was school money. The scholarship given...Now that I think about it, Grandpa may have known that I lied to him, no wonder he always looked at me and sighed when I got home during that time...Reply?"

Dong Yi noticed that his tone was wrong, so he looked sideways and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Reply..." Liu Ke took out a stamped letter from the pile of envelopes with trembling hands, and said incoherently, "Grandpa will occasionally write to me in order to save phone bills, and put this stamp every time. I, myself I have never posted it before, and I have collected all the letters my grandfather sent me, no, no, when did my grandfather write this, I..."

"It should be that grandpa wrote it and didn't have time to send it." Dong Yi turned around and hugged him, stroked his hair, and coaxed, "This is a gift from grandpa. Calm down, Xiao Ke, calm down."

Liu Ke buried his face in his arms and took a deep breath. After calming down, he pushed him away, looked at the letter in his hand, "... I should have come back to read it a long time ago."

After looking over all the rooms, several people returned to the car. Liu Ke wiped off the dust on his hands, took out the envelope and opened it slowly.Dong Yi and Cheng Tian looked at each other, got out of the car tacitly, and left the space for him.

"Xiao Ke:

Spread the letter good.

You haven't come back for a month and a half, you have read the letter, how are you at school?Did you have a good meal?You don't have to work too hard to study, your body is important, and it doesn't matter if you don't get into a good university.

……

The right to use the land in the village has been transferred to your name, and the foundation of the old house has also been given to you. Grandpa may not have much time... I heard some rumors that my naughty son may not be doing well outside If you want to come back, if he goes to your school to make trouble with you, don't be afraid, come back to find grandpa, grandpa will protect you.

……

I have been dreaming these past few days, dreaming that you are crying and calling for your mother, sorry, Xiaoke, grandpa is useless, he failed to give you a rich life, and he also failed to give you a complete family, sorry, grandpa is too old too fast……

Don't be too frugal when you go out, spend the scholarship yourself, don't send it to grandpa, I see other high school kids in the village are well dressed when they come back, so you should also buy more clothes.

My memory is always bad recently. Last time you came back, I forgot to tell you that there is a movable brick under my bed. When I opened it, there was an iron box inside. Inside the box were the things you were wearing when I found you. If you want to find your family back in the future, you can take those to try.

……

In the past, those words that required you to live a promising life were all to scare you. If you are tired, come back.

Grandpa is fine, don't read it. "

Tears and snot flowed out together, Liu Ke took out a tissue and wiped his face indiscriminately, sobbed silently, raised his arm to cover his face, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I'm sorry..."

I'm sorry, I only cared about tangling with Dong Yi back then, and didn't go home much; I'm sorry, I didn't grow up quickly, and I didn't have time to repay; I'm sorry, I failed this heavy love and grew into what I am now, I'm sorry.

Dong Yi took two steps forward to pull the car door, but was stopped by Cheng Tian.

"Let him vent it." Cheng Tian forced himself not to look at the silently crying figure in the car, his eyes fell on the dilapidated courtyard door, "It's even more uncomfortable to hold it in, and it will be much better to vent it."

Dong Yi tightened and relaxed his palms, relaxed and tightened again, and turned around with a tense face.

"Cheng Ke? Is Xiao Ke back?"

A slightly old voice suddenly came from the road, and the two turned their heads to look at it.

The gray-haired, short and fat old man hurried over with a cane, his eyes went back and forth between Dong Yi and Cheng Tian several times, and finally stopped on Cheng Tian, ​​walked over and held his hand, and said excitedly, "Ten years, You are back! If you don’t come back, I will not be able to keep your grandfather’s land and house. Hurry up and sign with me. I will be buried in the soil a few years later. I'm going to let you down."

The old man spoke a dialect very fast, and Dong Yi and Cheng Tian could only catch the general idea.

Cheng Tian frowned, "Land and house? Can't you keep it?"

"That's right, your grandpa's house and the land on the grave are very valuable now, hurry up and sign with me, so as not to be snatched away by that conscientious and unfilial son of your grandpa, what kind of shit This thing, it’s been ten years, and the sky is still making trouble!” The more the old man said, the more excited he was, he tightened his grip on Cheng Tian’s hand, his face flushed, “That bastard hurt your grandpa and robbed your grandpa’s savings. The money ran away, making your grandfather’s life difficult and his health broken, Wang Bagui’s grandson! A beggar who kills thousands of dollars! You should see him once and beat him once!”
