brother brother

Xu Zhiyuan met his brother when he was 14 years old.

That day, he was the last in the class again, and poured hot water on the foreheads of his classmates, almost disfiguring them.

The teacher called his parents to come to school as usual, but the words were very tactful.Because his parents just donated a batch of equipment to the school not long ago.

A new gymnasium was built last year. Xu Zhiyuan can't remember what it was the year before last.

Anyway, the school accepted his parents' kindness, so the attitude towards him was naturally different.So Xu Zhiyuan felt confident and lay down on the sofa with his feet spread apart, chewing gum.

"Our school also understands that you are busy as parents, but the education of children requires the coordination and cooperation of both parties. It is not enough for us to do our best, right?"

The dean spoke very sincerely, and the few remaining hairs on the top of his head flicked and flicked along with the rhythm of his speech, Xu Zhiyuan thought disgustedly in his heart, what the hell are you.

When he passed by the office during the day, he also heard the old bald donkey telling other teachers to turn a blind eye to him, as long as they mixed in until they graduated, they would complete the task, and the children were not theirs, whether it was good or bad, they were with them what is the relationship.

Now he's acting like a hypocrite again.

"Disgusting," he said.

"What?" The dean was shocked, thinking he had heard it wrong.

Xu Zhiyuan repeated viciously: "Hypocrisy!"

His parents quickly stopped him, and while they were busy apologizing to the teacher, they dragged their son back to education.Before leaving, Xu Zhiyuan spit a mouthful of phlegm on the office door.

"That's not what he said during the day! You were deceived by him!"

Xu Zhiyuan was very angry, and his parents were very helpless: "Yes, we know."

"Then you still scold me! I'm not wrong!"

"We're not scolding you. The main reason is that your attitude towards the teacher is inappropriate. After all, he is your teacher. If you have any opinions, please tell us in private and we will communicate..."

"You guys communicate ass! When did I not admit my mistake in the end! What did I do wrong? Why should I admit it!"

His mother paused and looked at him hesitantly: "There are some things...you will understand later."

Xu Zhiyuan looked out the window: "I don't understand, and I don't want to understand either."

In the Xu family, father and mother perform their own duties, one with a red face and the other with a bad face.As soon as the little bastard finished talking, his father yelled in front of him: "That's right? That's right. Tell me why you put hot water on your face today?!"

"He laughed at me!"

"What are you laughing at?"

"Laugh at me for being poor at reading! Still laugh at me..."

"what?"

"Anyway, I'm poor at reading, and I only have a few bad money."

In fact, they still laughed at him for being a sissy, for being a majestic boy who likes to have long hair, but Xu Zhiyuan didn't want to say it, for he was afraid that his parents would let him cut his hair.

This is his precious lifeblood.

Mother Xu felt sorry for her precious son and hugged him to comfort him. His father said solemnly in front: "Don't protect him. If he beats someone, it's his fault!"

"Then you have to ask your son what's the matter?"

"Nothing will prevent him from admitting his mistakes! Look at you, he is so virtuous just because you are used to being a mother! I said earlier that he will be sent to the military academy. It doesn't matter every three years No, come back and be obedient!"

Xu Zhiyuan hid in his mother's arms and screamed: "No! I'm not going anywhere! Mom—"

"Don't go, don't go."

Xu Zhiyuan knew that his mother was soft-hearted, so he hugged his mother's arm and used his trump card, and his mother really protected him.

"Anyway, I don't think this matter can be blamed on me. The difficulty of this exam is already higher than before. The average score of the whole class has dropped by ten points compared with last time. The one next door to me has lost more than 20 points. I'm not bad. Besides, in such a bad environment, I can still gain 4 points without retreating. Comrade Xu, I think you can't just look at the rankings, you have to look at your personal foundation. For someone like me who has the courage to break through Students should focus on encouragement."

After Xu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he happily unpacked the snacks in the back seat, and began to chew.

According to common sense, usually when he finished his sophistry, his father would inevitably criticize him at length. He was mentally prepared and almost took out the two balls of cotton he had prepared in his pocket.

But his father didn't say a word today, he was very silent, even a little abnormally silent.

After driving for more than half an hour, the steering wheel turned and went to the train station.

Xu Zhiyuan was taken into a coffee shop in the station in a daze. His father bought a piece of his favorite cake and made him a cup of milk.

"What are you doing at the train station?"

His mother wiped the mango sauce off his mouth with a tissue: "Let's pick someone up."

Xu Zhiyuan let out an "oh" and stopped asking.

He guessed that this person was probably an acquaintance of his parents in the business field. This happened to him often, and it had nothing to do with him anyway. He just had to be a smiling background board.

Until his dad's secretary brought a boy to stand in front of him.

The boy was half a head taller than Xu Zhi's foot, and although he could not be said to be dressed in rags, his whole body was shabby.

Short dog-like hair, bangs so long that they cover the eyes, outdated clothes, because the size is not suitable, the cuffs are a lot shorter, the fabric of the neckline is washed a little white, the hem is wrinkled, and the trousers are very Long, baggy, with some threads showing through the rolled-up trouser legs, as did the shoes.

Xu Zhiyuan took a few glances, and the shoes might not be his, they looked like slippers, the toe was worn out, and there was a lot of mud around the sides, as if they had stepped out of a local drama in the 30s.

There is also a flat snakeskin bag at his feet.

The boy doesn't look very good, but when looking at people, he is not humble at all, he is bland, and he doesn't look cramped, and he doesn't even have focal length or light.

Xu Yongshan said to his son, "He will be your brother from now on."

Xu Zhiyuan was dumbfounded, and the half lump of cream in his mouth fell to the ground with a "clack".

His first reaction was that his father had an illegitimate child outside, so he immediately turned to look at his mother.

Xu Zhiyuan's mother usually looks gentle and kind, but usually takes revenge on the spot. If his father dares to make such a fuss, he probably won't be able to go back alive today.

However, at this moment, his mother was smiling all over her face, looking at that boy's expression was more gentle than seeing his own son.

Shouldn't be wild.

Then there is only one possibility left - that his parents don't want him.

Xu Zhiyuan has a sharp tongue since he was a child, and he speaks very directly. He has an unpleasant personality and easily offends others. He is recognized as a "problem student" in the eyes of parents and teachers.

He has almost no real friends, and he is not interested in those around him who want to make friends with him because of his family situation. In addition, he has never been good at studying, so he feels that he has almost no advantages to show.

But he doesn't care, anyway, he knows that no matter how poorly he reads, there will be a way out in the future, after all, this is an era of fighting for fathers.

Now a "brother" suddenly appeared, he didn't know the origin or name, and he just looked like he would replace him soon.

Xu Zhiyuan had an instinctive rejection of him.

He stared at the boy's feet and said, "You are so dirty, your shoes are all broken, why is there still a smell?"

The boy glanced at him indifferently.Xu Zhiyuan was a little annoyed, and kicked the snakeskin bag.

"Xu Zhiyuan! Don't be rude!" Her mother scolded him.

Xu Zhiyuan felt a little wronged, so he bit his lip and turned his face away.

His mother felt that her attitude was too aggressive, so she calmed down and patted her son's head: "Xiao Yuan, we were too busy before and didn't have time to spend time with you. It's because of my parents' faults. From now on, my brother will study with you. "

Jiang Xiaomei was full of guilt. She and Xu Yongshan felt that their son would become like this. As parents, they had to bear a lot of responsibility, because they were too busy with work and neglected the child's education. They just gave him money to meet all his material needs. Besides, it can be said that almost nothing is known about him.I don't know that he has no friends, I don't know that he doesn't like school, I don't know that he doesn't like class, I don't even know if he is happy every day.

This is very remiss.

She sometimes recalled that when her son first started studying, he was still very excited when he came home every day, but they were too perfunctory, and they never listened to what his son said. said.

So now they want to make up for it, find a little partner who can accompany him, and make up for the sense of security he lacks.

Xu Zhiyuan didn't think about it that much, emotions came and went as quickly as a whirlwind.

He breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that his parents didn't want to sell him, since they didn't sell him, the boy in front of him suddenly didn't look so unpleasant.

His mother went back to the coffee shop to pack cakes, and his father went to drive.Xu Zhiyuan stood beside the newcomer.

He didn't speak, and the boy didn't speak, he didn't even move, he stood there straight, like a cedar tree, with his hands behind his back.This earthy and serious sense of time makes Xu Zhiyuan feel a little funny.

He kept focusing on the boy's shoes, probably because they didn't fit well, and the man almost tripped over several times as he walked along the way.Xu Zhiyuan thought for a while, then took off his shoes and gave them to him: "You can change my shoes, how can you walk with your pair of shoes open?"

The boy glanced at him and said, "No need."

This is the first time Xu Zhiyuan heard his brother’s voice. This feeling is hard to describe. When I recall it many years later, it’s like the first pile of snow falling from the treetops to his shoulders in early winter. It’s a bit heavy and fluffy. A little comfortable, but not warm.

Seeing that Xu Zhiyuan didn't respond, the boy thought he didn't hear, so he turned to him and repeated politely: "No, thank you."

Xu Zhiyuan came back to his senses: "I still have spare doubles in my bag to wear. If you don't wear them for a while, my dad will think that I took off my shoes to beat you. Hurry up and stop talking."

The tails of his long and narrow eyes were raised slightly, and there was a beauty mole in the corner of his eyes, so he looked at him with an indescribable charm while pretending to be angry.He's obviously a boy, and he's still a child, but he's born gorgeous and seductive at such a young age.

The boy was amused by his exaggerated appearance, two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Xu Zhiyuan's shoes smelled good.

The boy thought: I heard that people in the city are all fragrant, so it is true.

On the return journey, Xu's mother was very excited in the co-pilot, talking about helping the boy with new clothes, new shoes and a new look.

She glanced at Xu Zhiyuan who was playing the game vigorously in the back seat: "It's best that you go and cut this long hair for me."

Xu Zhiyuan yelled strangely: "Impossible! Ms. Jiang, please stop thinking about it as soon as possible!"

"Why do boys have long hair? Look at how nice it is to make it short. With a push of the small clipper, you don't even need shampoo. Just wash your face in the morning and just wipe it on..."

His father also echoed: "It's fine to shave."

Xu Zhiyuan gave a "tsk" and didn't bother to answer him.

"Hey, Xu Zhiyuan, I'm talking to you, do you hear me? And your seat belt, buckle it up!"

Xu Zhiyuan remained motionless and continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Seeing that the battle between father and son was about to escalate again, the boy suddenly moved to Xu Zhiyuan's side, and while helping him fasten his seat belt, he whispered into his ear, "You look good."

Xu Zhiyuan is very satisfied with this playmate, at least he has good taste.
