a family of three

The next morning, a big man and a small man in our family were scrambling to look in the mirror in the bathroom. In order to occupy the only full-length mirror in the house, they desperately grabbed the less than one square meter of land in front of the full-length mirror.

My brother said: "After I broke up with your father, although I went to the same high school, I haven't seen each other after graduation. Today, even if I bring a younger brother who looks like a son, it won't make me look inferior to him. "It's obviously a man's sense of competition, but Dad probably doesn't think so.

As for me, because today is the first time I meet my dad on a formal occasion, I have to dress decently, so that my dad can't think that my brother has treated me badly, and he has the idea of ​​taking me away.

When my brother tidied up his clothes, he said to me who was standing by the mirror pretending to be wronged: "Come here, let's see if it looks like a family."

"When you wear clothes, you can wear clothes, why do you have to dress like a family?" I said dissatisfied to the mirror that my brother gave me.

"Your father and his wife must be wearing couple outfits. Of course they look like a family. Of course we can't lose to them." My brother said while helping me turn over my collar.

Looking at the elder brother in the mirror, he is 29 like his father, but he looks more mature than his father. The delicate face similar to his mother shows a kind of masculine heroism in his elder brother.Although he is obviously a boy with a handsome face, he looks very handsome in terms of temperament.

"Why are you looking at me?" My brother asked, staring into my eyes in the mirror.

"Suddenly found that my brother is quite handsome." I said.

Standing in front of my brother, I was a head shorter than my brother, so I could see my brother's face completely, and then I saw a trace of pink slowly creeping up on my brother's fair face in the mirror, and then from the initial trace of red to a patch. Hong, seeing those changes made me smile even more happily.

My brother pressed my head in anger and ordered: "Don't look at me." Then he walked out with a flick of his hand.

I didn't mind combing my brother's messy hair again.

My brother and my father were both from City J when they were young, and I was also born in City J. My brother was admitted to City W, the provincial capital, when he was in college.

When my mother passed away, many relatives on my mother’s side expressed their willingness to help my brother who was still in college to take care of the children, but they had to pay 1 yuan a month (1 yuan? That’s not how you kill people, right?). Tell my brother, for your family, that little money is nothing.

My brother was disturbed by those snobbish faces, so he took me to W City to buy a house in a heartbeat.My mother's tombstone is also on the outskirts of W City.

My brother hasn’t worked since he graduated. Although he spent a lot of money to buy a house with the best environment in the community at that time, he still knows the truth of sitting and eating, and is very frugal in his daily life.

When we were in the car, my brother said that he went out to work because he thought that I would go to high school and college in the future. Although I had a lot of savings, I couldn’t afford it. When there are countless zeros dragging behind the number, I feel that I have been cheated, but I can’t refute what my brother said later), the most important thing is not to form a habit, otherwise it will be bad if you can’t change it for a lifetime.

My brother probably guessed the reason for my awkwardness. When I said this, I felt that compared to my brother, I was really a child.Moreover, even if my brother works overtime in the future, I have no reason to be angry.

Even so, it was a kind of growth for me at the time.

When I arrived at the hotel, because my brother had reserved the seat from the beginning, I reserved that private room during the peak meal time.

When we arrived, Dad and Sister Ping hadn't come yet.

I snatched my brother's mobile phone to play the game of Sokoban. My brother looked at the menu and ordered, and then told the waiter that we will serve the food together after someone else comes to order.

At five minutes past eleven, Dad and Sister Ping came in under the leadership of the waiter.

After picking a seat and sitting down, the waiter brought the menu to Dad. Dad added a few dishes to the menu, and then the waiter said "wait a minute" and left.

At this time, my father greeted my elder brother politely, and my elder brother also greeted me very strangely, without feeling at all that the two of them were once classmates.

Then my father introduced Sister Ping to my brother. When my brother saw Sister Ping's face, he felt a little doubtful. When Sister Ping looked at her brother, although she smiled, it made people feel a little gray.

Alas, I knew Sister Ping was going to be hit.

Then they took their seats, and I stood up and called, "Dad, Auntie Ping."

Ping... Auntie's face was ugly, but she didn't say anything.

Dad really asked for my custody rights, but before my brother could speak, I simply refused.

Perhaps because of thinking about the situation that morning, Dad's complexion became not very good.

It is conceivable that the meal that day was not very happy.

When they came out of the hotel, the atmosphere had basically reached the state of dissatisfaction.

Before we broke up, Auntie Ping held me back and said, "Just call me Sister Ping from now on."

I said, "This...is wrong in terms of seniority."

She glanced at her brother and said firmly, "It will be right soon." Although it was right at the time, but two months later, when my father appeared at our door with a luggage bag on his back, I knew, When I see Ping in the future... my aunt will still be called Sister Ping.Of course this is something for later.

On the way home, my brother asked me: "Yu Ran, do you think that Lin Ziping looks a lot like her mother?"

In fact, when I saw the way my father looked at my brother, I knew that I was more like my brother than my mother.

Although I am still a little young, the time I wandered outside with my senior sister was not in vain, at least I learned a lot.

So I replied to my brother and said, "Hehe, people who saw us just now would think that Dad is my brother's brother-in-law."

"What do you mean?" My brother was confused again.

"It means that sister Ping is very similar to brother." I sighed.

The elder brother was a little puzzled and said: "My mother and I look very similar. I know that Lin Ziping looks like her mother, but what is the difference between her looking like me."

Alas... Sure enough, the authorities are confused.

Then my brother looked at me and said, "It seems that I shouldn't have kept your birth from your father for so many years." What does it mean, I don't understand this time.

Then the elder brother continued: "Yu Ran, next time your father calls, you should find a chance to tell her where her mother's tombstone is."

This time I understand, Brother Ganqing thinks that Dad loves Mom very much...

Then the elder brother continued: "Yuran, the way your father looks at me makes me feel very disgusted. I will never see him again."

Alas... Dad, you are really too obvious.
