Rebirth and pet for a lifetime

Heng County, a place that preserves most of the good memories of the two of them and tolerates their thriving growth, has a strong attraction for Gu Hang and Ye Chuan.Saying goodbye to Grandma and Uncle Gu, Gu Hang drove Lei Lei and Ye Chuan to their hometown in Heng County.The last time Liu Dongmei went back was the season when pomegranates should be ripe. She only picked pomegranates when she came back. She cleaned the yard casually and dried the leftover bedding again.It has been three or four months now, and the hard ground in the yard has been stepped on with dry skin, and it looks a bit desolate when combined with the fallen leaves and a few weeds in the wind.Fortunately, the sweet-scented osmanthus tree outside the window of Gu Hang's room was still as green as ever.

Lei Lei high school class reunion, in the afternoon with a few boys out.Gu Hang went out to buy ingredients and was going to have hot pot at home in the evening.Ye Chuan stayed at home to tidy up the room, and by the way, cleaned the window that he had longed for for so many years, wiped the window sill clean, and then stretched out half of his body, melting into the dark green leaves of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

There are not many people visiting the supermarket on the sixth day of junior high school. Occasionally, I bump into an old classmate and exchange a few words. After time has passed, people can no longer look like they were in high school and junior high school.When Gu Hang was pushing the trolley to buy mutton slices, he was blocked by a man and a woman. The clothes they were wearing were not good. The woman followed and grabbed the man's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Did you sleep with her?" gone?"

Even though he lowered his voice, Gu Hang, who was walking behind, could still hear clearly, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard this, adding an episode to the boring shopping.Gu Hang followed slowly, just wanting to see how women and men should deal with this matter.The woman persisted, and her voice grew louder, "Tell me, did you sleep with her?"

The man didn't seem to hear, and still walked on his own.Gu Hang looked curiously at the calm man's back, and quickened his pace to overtake the place where there were few people, and when he overtook him, he turned his head and looked back, but he was stunned.The man was none other than Ye Chuan's half brother, Ye Fan.I haven't seen you for so many years, but the change is not big. It's still the same face, but it's a little longer.

Gu Hang wanted to leave, but being stared at by Ye Fan made it difficult to lift his feet and leave.What kind of shit luck is this, Gu Hang thought to himself.

The woman didn't ask any more questions, but looked at Gu Hang with doubts in her eyes.Gu Hang thought that Ye Fan would greet him, but unexpectedly he slowly shook off the woman's hand and said, "Sleeping, are you satisfied? What do you want to do, just say it after you think it over."

The woman's face flushed instantly, unexpectedly, she didn't get angry anymore, instead she covered her mouth and looked back and forth between Gu Hang and Ye Fan twice before crying.

Gu Hang smiled awkwardly, pushed the cart and continued to move forward.Ye Fan seemed to follow unintentionally, until Gu Hang took two packs of mutton rolls before asking, "Eat hot pot?"

"Oh."

"I didn't expect that, I went home to celebrate the New Year."

"By the way."

"Ye Chuan is still alive?"

Gu Hang narrowed his eyes, "Tofu, he's not dead."

Ye Fan threw the bag of sweet corn back into the freezer, licked the corner of his mouth at Gu Hang and said, "His stepfather is dying, if he is still alive, ask him if he wants to come back and have a look." Before he finished speaking, he did not wait. Gu Hang expressed his opinion, and left again with his pockets in his pocket.

When Gu Hang went back, Ye Chuan had already tidied up the room, opened the window and sat in the sunlight in a corner, looking at the whole yard from the second floor.Gu Hang threw his things downstairs and went upstairs after washing his hands and face. He hugged Ye Chuan from behind and looked at the grape trellis outside through the lush osmanthus trees, as well as the big porcelain jar under the grape trellis to show his father's love. .

Gu Hang always felt that there was a fragrance on Ye Chuan's body, which was different from the smell after Ke Rui deliberately used perfume, and also different from the fragrance of Liu Dongmei's clothes after washing and drying in the sun.He couldn't tell, but the smell reassured him.When he was in middle school and high school, he thought it was the milky smell that children had before they grew up. Later, after hugging Haozi from Wang Wenzhao's family, he realized that it was not the milky smell.Gu Hang sniffed his neck fascinatedly, and Ye Chuan was itchy from being rubbed, so he hid his neck for a while, and said with a smile, "No wonder people say that things are divided into groups, why do you look more and more like the golden retriever?"

Gu Hang took a deep breath, made an expression of enjoyment, touched it and asked in a low voice, "Sweetie, what good things are you hiding on your body?"

"Get out!" Ye Chuan was slightly annoyed.

Gu Hang laughed, squeezed to the side and sat down, and when he pushed Ye Chuan off the stool, he hugged Ye Chuan into his lap.Ye Chuan knew that he was no longer the Xiao Yechuan he was back then, so he didn't dare to sit on them all, and put his feet on the ground and half leaned on his lap.The solid wood chair was big enough, Gu Hang leaned back, let Ye Chuan sit between his legs, put his chin on his shoulder and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Ye Chuan pointed to the grape trellis that was mostly blocked by sweet-scented osmanthus trees, "It was the first time I ate grapes in the summer of the second semester of my second year of junior high school. It was very sweet, and I still remember it."

Gu Hang remembered that when the summer vacation was coming to an end, Ye Chuan came to his house wearing big underpants to look for him, and then told him that he could go to the countryside to catch fish.I also thought of the scene of sticking together to watch the night sky when I was sleeping in the countryside, and my heart became soft and turned into a pool of sugar water.Who is so lucky to start all over again after realizing their mistake?Only he, Gu Hang, is so lucky!

"Go see mom tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Ye Chuan unconsciously stroked the back of Gu Hang's hand hugging his lower abdomen, and after a long silence, he suddenly laughed and said, "I haven't come back to see my mother once in so many years, she should be annoyed at me."

"No." Gu Hang kissed Ye Chuan's ear and lips, and said with a sigh of relief: "I will watch for you."

"Then she said you are a daughter-in-law or a son?"

"Every time I go to call my mother, she promises to say—oh, what a good son-in-law."

Ye Chuan's body trembled slightly, Gu Hang couldn't see his face, but he knew he was smiling.But when the position where the chest was pressed gradually quieted down, and the oppressive atmosphere dissipated with light and shallow breathing, Gu Hang knew that the person in his arms was crying.Gu Hang tightened his arms, as if subconsciously, and hummed the love song Rain or shine, which was almost a promise of love.When he sang again, Gu Hang realized that the lyrics were written very well - give you my all, you are my only bet in this life, only leave a period of time, let me have no complaints or regrets, and give wholeheartedly... Isn't it just Is that so?Gu Hang also made a bet, the bet period is a lifetime.

Ye Chuan turned his head and kissed Gu Hang gently, and the two of them seemed to return to that snowy night while their lips were entangled.Gu Hang seemed to see that Ye Chuan mischievously lying on the horizontal bar and eating snow again, but he didn't know, in Ye Chuan's heart, he saw that person who was full of brilliance, existed in his world like sunshine and warmed him. Gu Hang.

"Does Chuan'er still hate Ye Yaotang?"

Ye Chuan's eyelashes trembled, and he lowered his eyebrows for a long time before saying, "It seems that I never hated him."

"Want to meet?"

Ye Chuan recalled the past, and thought of Ye Fan, the younger brother who had half the same blood, and for some reason felt a little unspeakable feeling in his heart.It stands to reason that he really should come back and take a look.The stepdad, like most fathers who came out of the countryside, loved his own child, even though he was indifferent to him, he still raised him.As for his entanglement with his mother, Ye Chuan has no comment, but one thing is undeniable, he gave his mother a little hope of surviving, and also gave him the possibility of surviving a child who should have died in the womb.But even if the good ones are engraved on stones, the bad ones are written in the desert, and the wind blows past the bad memories without traces, it is still impossible to achieve Cheng Huan's knees.

Ye Chuan shook his head, "Let's talk about it. Ye Fan..."

"He is very good. He has studied at the vocational high school in the county and works in an electrical appliance factory."

"Oh."

Even though he said he couldn't see her, Ye Chuan still walked to the West Garden while Gu Hang was out on business after seeing Mother Ye come back, and walked towards "home" along the path that he and Gu Hang had walked countless times.The former small tile-roofed houses were indeed refurbished and built into buildings as Ye Yaotang said back then.Because the area is small, even if it is built into a two-story building, it is as oppressive as a cage.Ye Chuan stood on the other side of the road looking at the house with small windows and small doors, remembering that he had nowhere to live and sleep at the door, in fact it was Gu Hang who sang songs outside the door and then he slept in his arms all night.Thinking of the childhood when he and Ye Fan shared the same bed, they used to fight like other brothers, but Ye Chuan's slaps were tricks, and Ye Fan was real.I was scolded by my mother and Ye Yaotang for not controlling my strength well, and I also took eggs from Ye Yaotang... too many memories, because I lived here since I was a child, those memories are fused in my blood, and they are inseparable .

Someone came out from the inside, judging from the age, it should be the younger sister who called him brother back then.Ye Chuan subconsciously turned his face away, watched her lock the door from the corner of his eye, walked out carrying a bag with his head down, then raised his foot and walked slowly to the front of the house, touched the horizontally inserted lock on it, and found all the traces of the past. Not anymore.Ye Chuan raised his head to look at the house that had chilled his heart back then, took a deep breath, took out his wallet, took out all the cash in it, and stuffed it into the crack of the door.

In the hospital at the same time, Gu Hang looked at Ye Yaotang with a swollen belly, feeling complicated.Ye Fan leaned against the door of the ward and asked, "Where's Ye Chuan?"

"Thank you for sweeping Mama Ye's grave."

"That's my mother." Ye Fan kicked the door frame irritably, "He won't come back?"

Gu Hang didn't answer, and took another look at Ye Yaotang, who seemed to be asleep inside, and Wang Lanxiang, who was sitting beside the bed and looked at him cautiously, feeling depressed.

"Late?"

Ye Fan took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He didn't intend to light it, but was reprimanded by the nurse who passed by with the tray.He didn't refute it, and took it back obediently.

A nurse came to take the temperature daily, and Wang Lanxiang quickly waved her hand and said, "No more, no more, no fever, I tried it."

Gu Hang knew that every time he took his body temperature, he would charge an extra ten yuan. During his hospitalization, he also shared a room with rural patients, and he would have such conversations every morning.

The nurse probably knew the situation here, so she didn't say much, and said casually: "If you have a fever, tell us quickly, we will not be responsible if it gets worse."

Wang Lanxiang obediently agreed, and the arrogance of the year was gone.

Gu Hang had nothing to say, and couldn't bear Wang Lanxiang's look, he glanced at Ye Yaotang who was covered in swelling, nodded at Ye Fan and walked out.Ye Fan didn't chase him out, but asked again: "Is Ye Chuan going to be wiped clean here? Tell him that Yu Guixiang is also my mother. If he really doesn't want anything, my mother's grave is also gone." It will be ruined."

Gu Hang sighed from the bottom of his heart, scratched his head and said to Ye Fan, "Let's talk about it, if... he doesn't owe anything here, what he has now is also spelled out by himself."

"Yes." Ye Fan nodded and smiled, "We all owe him, our Ye family only produced a white lotus like him, and the rest is stinky garbage."

Ye Fan looked at Gu Hang's back, gritted his teeth and continued, "Other people's families have grown up like this, and when they come to him, they can't do anything to him. If he has a conscience, he can't..." What can't be done?Can't you deny him this brother?Back then, he was domineering and selfish, thinking that everyone should treat him well. The money Ye Chuan earned should be spent on his younger brother, and his good things should belong to him, but he never had a bad conscience.Ye Chuan suddenly wanted to disappear from this family, and he even thought, why not give him back all the things he wanted to come over, as long as there is still someone to "bully" him.But it was too late. Originally, Ye Fan thought family affection was a piece of cloth. Even if it was soaked in water, it would be flat after being exposed to the sun. Gone, the rest is helpless.

Ye Fan also hated it, hated that Ye Yaotang found him a stepmother, hated that this brother who was very good to him suddenly didn't want him.When he grew up, he searched for memories about his mother from his vague memory, and he was jealous that Ye Chuan could hide in his mother's arms and act like a baby, and even more jealous that Ye Chuan had a friend like Gu Hang, and he was jealous of all the good luck that Ye Chuan could not have.But those jealousy and hatred floated in the sky and could not be realized. Ye Fan found that all the hatred was nonsense. He actually wanted to have such a brother who was born with the same mother and would kiss him no matter what.He will buy him fat and burn it, rob him of his pocket money, look at him tolerantly but never go back, take less when sharing snacks, and tuck him in the quilt at night, stomp him on purpose, he will Thinking that he was playing with him, laughing and avoiding, he would make up lessons for him, and do everything that outsiders would not do for him.

Gu Hang wants to say, the reason why you are so righteous is that you have never suffered from Ye Chuan, and you have never suffered from the grievances he has suffered. Not every child in middle and high school can still grow up healthily under that kind of prejudice and disregard. .I also want to say that whether he wants to admit it or not is his freedom.But when he turned around and saw Ye Fan's red eyes, he didn't say a word.

The simplest thing in the world is family love, no matter how much you hurt it will never stop; the most complicated thing in the world is family love, no matter how you try to escape, you can’t escape, there are so many things in life, no matter how you count, you can’t figure it out clearly .More for you, less for him, but so what?

Gu Hang went around to the inpatient department to check the records of Ye Yaotang's main hospital. As expected, he still owed some hospitalization fees, and the medicines were basically stopped.This day is probably severe ascites, so come here to pump water.Gu Hang cleared all the bills, and paid another week's deposit and expenses for normal treatment.Even if the golden retriever is sick, you have to watch it.Those prejudices that once seemed great seem to have been washed away by time.Ye Yaotang, who Gu Hang wanted to be beaten to death several times, is now just a hunched old man who was tortured by illness and became emaciated.

That's all, what else is there to care about?
