brother brother

After all, Xu Zhiyuan found out about the family affairs. One day when he came back from cram school, he received a call from his mother asking him to help him buy some cooked food in an old restaurant.

Xu Zhiyuan felt strange, although the cooked dishes of this old restaurant were indeed quite famous, but his parents loved him and almost never let him bother to get involved in this matter, at most they helped to take out the garbage next door and buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Doing this made him feel a little distracted, and besides, he was not blind these days, and he could tell that the atmosphere at home was tense and he was just pretending to be stupid. He knew they were afraid of affecting his exam, so he didn't want to let him They worry.

But this time his premonition was not so good.

Xu Zhiyuan was so careful, he went home before going shopping, and sure enough, he saw a few vicious strangers blocking the door of his house.His elder brother stood in front of his parents, as if he was arguing with someone. The other party was very irritable, and his voice became louder and louder. Finally

He even rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to do it.

Xu Zhiyuan picked up a discarded mop by the side of the flower bed in the community, and headed there.

"Yo, why are you blocking my door?"

Xu Wenyuan's first reaction was to pull him behind him, and his mother's face turned pale. She didn't expect her son to be able to return to the carriage. If this matter is not resolved today, there will be some accidents. Blended.

Xu Yongshan wanted to push both him and Jiang Xiaomei into the house, but Jiang Xiaomei was unwilling, and neither was Xu Zhiyuan, they froze at the door with big eyes and small eyes.

The group of people looked at him as a child, and probably couldn't make any splashes, so they didn't bother to continue the topic just now: "Boss Xu, no matter what reason you have for this matter, it has nothing to do with me. You don't have to talk to me so much. I want money."

"But you have also seen my actual situation. I really can't afford that much cash. I promise you will definitely think about it, but it must not be so fast."

"I can't wait. I've waited long enough. Say it yourself, from the delay in payment last year to this year, I haven't helped you. Don't I have so many people who don't want to eat? If you have a problem, it's your fault." Thing, to put it bluntly, you have to take your own risk to earn money, don't drag us into the water!"

Xu Yongshan repeated "I know, I know, I'm really sorry", but it was useless, the man didn't listen at all, and a group of brothers under him also started to shout, "Yes! If we don't have money, we will sit at your door and never leave!"

Xu Zhiyuan couldn't hold back his breath, so he stuck his neck and shouted: "Then I'll call the police! If you have the ability, talk to the police!"

When he said this, the group of people immediately exploded, and even Xu Wenyuan couldn't stop them.

"It's okay to owe money! You report it! If you have a kind, you report it! I can't beat you and your surname to death!"

Xu Yongshan dragged them to apologize desperately, his voice was very weak, his whole face was haggard, his shoulders of being able to support the whole family collapsed at the moment, a person who was so solemn and prudent in the past, now has been humbled into the dust.

Xu Zhiyuan stared at those people, like a little leopard ready to go, with bloodshot eyes bursting out.Jiang Xiaomei held her son tightly to prevent him from rushing out to kill others.

The strings on both sides were stretched to the tightest, and they were about to lose control, so Xu Wenyuan suddenly leaned over to discuss with Xu Yongshan.

"First of all, we really don't have any money, and it's not easy to borrow such a large amount; secondly, we don't care about it. It takes time to raise money, so we are going to replace the house, but it also takes time to sell the house."

When he said that, the leader stopped, and they didn't want to make a big deal. If they had a specific solution and a deadline, they could still discuss things, and there was no need to tear their faces apart.

"how long?"

"It can range from three months to as long as half a year." Xu Wenyuan said, "And people who buy a house don't pay the full amount at once. We will pay part of it after three months."

That night, the family of four sat quietly in the living room for a long time. Xu Yongshan and Jiang Xiaomei were filled with guilt, and Xu Zhiyuan felt sore and confused.

He has lived in this house since he was born, and for more than ten years now, all the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the family have been stored in it. How many memories and how much value there are are immeasurable. Now it is sold as soon as it is said, which makes him reluctant. , unacceptable, but there is no way.

Just like that Guanyin Alley, where he played since he was a child, bought pornographic films, skipped class, ate noodles and played games, and even fought there for the first time. When the big waves of the last era came, what could be left behind?Only the big "Demolition" character on the wall is eye-catching.

Brother Hua is gone, Sister Hua is gone, Wang Yang and Mei Jing are gone, and a new commercial center will be built soon in the municipal planning to replace the old one.

"I'm not going to college anymore." Xu Zhiyuan said sullenly.

His voice was not loud, but the other three people present heard it, and no one said anything for the first time, Xu Zhiyuan repeated: "I said, I won't go to college anymore!"

Jiang Xiaomei jumped up: "No way!"

"Why not? How expensive it is to study art! The tuition fee is tens of thousands a year!"

"You just take care of your studies! You don't have to worry about money!"

Xu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and wiped his tears: "You guys are always like this! Don't worry, don't worry, what's the matter, am I not from this family? Am I the same as that turtle? Just let me eat and wear warm every day? I am too. I also have the right to know! Why am I the last to know every time something happens!"

Xu Yongshan shouted angrily: "Sit down!"

"I won't sit! I'm not going to go to this school anyway, so I'm not a material for studying. My brother is, and I'll let him go. I'm a good model and can make money for you guys!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Wenyuan couldn't hold back any longer, and turned around to stare at him with a "shua", the eyes of the person who had never expressed his emotions were scarlet.

"What did you say about you?"

"I say……"

Xu Zhiyuan wanted to repeat what he said just now, but when he saw his brother's appearance, he suddenly felt distressed, so painful that he couldn't speak, his heart felt like being crushed back and forth by a heavy-duty truck.

Xu Wenyuan closed his eyes, his throat rolled and he didn't speak for several seconds.When he opened it again, the redness in his eyes had receded by half,,.

"I don't need you to sacrifice yourself for me," he said.

"It's my inability."

"I don't have the ability to protect you. If I want to give up, it should be me. You can't."

"If you don't dare to read it, I'll leave. This house has my mouth, and I'll give it back to you."

Every word Xu Wenyuan said was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart to Xu Zhiyuan. "Going" was the biggest threat to him. He grabbed the sofa and trembled all over: "No, I don't want...I..."

"Then keep reading." Xu Wenyuan said, "Don't give up, let's find a way together."

Xu Zhiyuan was speechless, and everyone at the scene was speechless. Emotions surged in his chest. Xu Yongshan stood up and rushed out, but was held back by Jiang Xiaomei.

"Why are you going?"

"I'm going to borrow money!"

"Who do you ask to borrow money? Who else can lend you money in this situation? Think about it yourself, how many people who are close to you and far away have you never asked? How many people have answered you?" Jiang Xiaomei choked her throat.

Xu Yongshan's face was unpredictable, he let out a long sigh and fell back on the chair after a long time.

You can't blame other people for being indifferent. In this world, there are very few people who can attack both sides. It is human nature to want to clean yourself up when something happens. You can only blame good luck.

Xu Wenyuan hugged most of his brother's body and pressed it on his shoulders, Xu Zhiyuan relaxed immediately, all the sad and painful emotions were released in an instant, he grabbed his brother's clothes and groaned, soaking a large area of ​​Xu Wenyuan's shoulders.

Xu Wenyuan pursed his lips tightly, and kissed his brother's hair one after another: "It's okay, the house will be gone when it's gone, as long as the person is still there."

Xu Wenyuan didn't tell the truth about selling the house to pay off the debt. Xu Yongshan told him about it privately before. Their house is in a downtown area, and it's a school district house, and it's still within the relocation scope of the municipal planning. Not only doubled, but now there must be more urgent sales because of people robbing them.They have found a buyer a long time ago, and the other party is also very straightforward, saying that they will pay in full directly.

But Xu Wenyuan didn't tell the truth to those people. He was afraid that they would have to take advantage of the fire and ask for some kind of compensation, so he had to continue to sell miserably, showing that they were very difficult.

In addition to the house, the Xu family even sold their cars.From now on, they could only take the bus to go out. Liang Chen originally wanted to give Xu Wenyuan his domestically produced car, but he declined. He said that he could try other ways, and he didn't need help for the time being.

For more than a week, Xu Zhiyuan almost refused to communicate, locked himself in the room after eating, and did not speak when he got up in the morning.

Xu Wenyuan tried his emotions and wanted to hear his specific thoughts. Xu Zhiyuan shook his head, holding back harder than a clam shell. What he said was: "Brother, give me some time, I want to think about it myself first."

Zhuo Xiang didn't say anything, and Xu Wenyuan didn't rush him, so he let him digest it alone.

As parents, Xu Yongshan and Jiang Xiaomei were very worried, because they were afraid that this series of events would seriously affect their son's mood for the exam, and even his entire outlook on life.They inquired with Xu Wenyuan several times, Xu Wenyuan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, let him think about it for himself, I think he can figure it out, we have to have confidence in him."

It's hard not to be spoiled as a parent, and it's messy to care about, but Xu Wenyuan is different.

Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. Xu Zhiyuan must grow up and encounter all kinds of bad things. As a brother and a lover, he must protect him whenever he can, but there is really no guarantee that he will be able to avoid all kinds of troubles for the rest of his life. Unpleasant, just like the model audition before, Xu Zhiyuan always had to face some things alone, and he could fly higher if he passed by.

Some truths Xu Wenyuan understood earlier, it was because he was pushed forward by life since he was a child, he had seen uglier people and more dangerous environments, but Xu Zhiyuan did not, he was protected too well.

People grow up overnight, and it's time for him to come out.

A week later, as Xu Wenyuan expected, Xu Zhiyuan came to him on his own initiative.

"elder brother."

Xu Wenyuan pulled a chair for him to sit down: "Let's talk?"

"Ah."

One of them was sitting on the table, the other was lying on his lap, Xu Zhiyuan put his arms around his brother's waist, pulling and pulling.

Xu Wenyuan pretended to tear it off: "Don't move, talk well."

Xu Zhiyuan blinked, and returned to his playful smile: "Are you still angry with me?"

Xu Wenyuan sneered: "No, how dare I, people have to sacrifice themselves to fulfill me, so I don't have to kneel and kowtow to be grateful."

This was half-truth and half-false, but Xu Zhiyuan knew his brother was really angry when he heard it, and quickly coaxed: "Brother, brother, good brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I just didn't turn my head around, and I was desperate Nonsense, don't be as knowledgeable as me, can I take it back?"

Xu Wenyuan shook his head: "I can't take it back, I take it seriously."

Xu Zhiyuan pouted: "Then you threatened me too?"

Xu Wenyuan laughed: "What did I threaten you with?"

"You threatened me to leave! To... You know that I am most afraid of this! If you say that, I will be sad."

Xu Wenyuan touched his brother's long hair with one hand, and stroked his cheek with the other: "Xu Zhiyuan, I'm not threatening you."

Xu Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment, and then his face turned pale.His brother was telling him that what he said before was true.

It is true that he refuses to let him give up on himself, and it is true that he will leave.

He is teaching him that you are responsible for every word and every decision you make, so don't say impulsive words, and don't make decisions that you haven't considered clearly.

Xu Wenyuan said word by word: "Baby, if you will be sad, so will I."
