The two live not far from each other.Gu Hang crossed the West Garden and hurried to Ye Chuan's house.It was still one of the row of low tile-roofed houses, and the lights were still on.Ye Chuan was sitting at the door and was pulling down the bicycle tire, took out the inner tube, inflated it, and then immersed it in the water to find the place where the air leaked.Gu Hang stood in the shadow and watched, feeling sad.

"...Three years of high school, how long do you have to go to high school? Your younger brother will also have to take the entrance examination in two years. If you study in the middle school, you can almost earn money at that time. The sister of your aunt's family has been in school for two years. You can take money home. Ignorant bastard."

"I can go to college."

"You think college is easy to take the exam? We haven't seen many college students in our county. Besides, who will pay you for the exam? Everyone is sucking blood! Can you compare with Gu Weiguo's son? Your father is like his father Competence? You want to do whatever you see others doing. Sometimes you have to endure hardships. You have to live on campus. How many county towns have you seen living in schools? There is money to burn!”

"Dad, I don't need family money anymore, I can earn it myself."

"When the time comes, let the neighbors gossip and say that I... abused Guixiang and her former son?"

Ye Chuan paused for a moment while rubbing the inner tube, and then said in a low voice, "No, I can really earn money by myself."

Gu Hang in the shadow froze, watching in shock as he shrank himself smaller and smaller, wishing that Ye Chuan, who was completely curled up, could not recover for a long time.Guixiang, her former nest son?At this moment, it seems that many things have been explained.Ye Yaotang did not send Ye Chuan the entrance examination, nor did he send it when the school started.Gu Hang thought that Ye Chuan's good grades should be praised, but what Ye Yaotang seemed to want was for him to graduate quickly and subsidize his family.Gu Hang has never heard that Ye Chuan is not Ye Yaotang's son in the past two lifetimes. Although Ye Chuan is much more delicate than his younger brother Ye Fan, no one has ever suspected that the two of them do not have the same father. After all, Ye Chuan's mother is beautiful.But looking at Ye Chuan's appearance, he must know something.

Inside, Ye Yaotang was still lecturing, but Gu Hang didn't listen to it anymore, all his senses were used on Ye Chuan who curled up there rubbing the inner tube.Gu Hang watched as he skillfully squeezed the rubber and pasted the leather to mend the tire, dried it with a dirty towel, stuffed the wheel back, fixed it again, then pumped it into the house, and began to pack up miscellaneous things.The father and son in the room should have been asleep long ago, Gu Hang stepped out of the shadows, and blocked the door the moment Ye Chuan closed it.

Ye Chuan looked over in surprise, there were clearly tears in those eyes, and when he lowered his head and raised his head, there was only clarification left.Ye Chuan smiled and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here? It's already midnight."

Gu Hang was speechless.Ye Chuan turned off the light, closed the door lightly and came out, and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong?"

Gu Hang raised his hand to touch his face and didn't speak.

"Go back, it's already midnight."

"Chuan'er."

"Ok?"

Gu Hang took a deep breath, restrained himself again and again, but still couldn't hold back and pulled him into his arms.It would be great if it was at home, then he could hug him and kiss him without any scruples, ask him things he didn't know, and give him a shoulder to lean on.That way, his Chuan'er didn't have to curl up there alone to wipe away his tears, and he didn't have to pretend nothing happened when he saw him.

Gu Hang inserted his hand into his hair, rubbed it and said with a smile, "I was going to sleep, but suddenly I missed you, come and have a look."

Ye Chuan didn't say a word, rubbed his face in his arms again and said in a muffled voice, "Then you go back, I'm going to sleep too."

"En." Gu Hang let go of him and pushed him in.

"you go first."

"Go in." Gu Hang patted him and scolded him lightly.

Ye Chuan babbled for a while, and Ye Yaotang's voice came from inside: "Haven't tidy up yet? Molly."

The door finally opened and closed, but Gu Hang didn't hear his footsteps leaving the door.He took two steps away and leaned against the wall on one side, and waited for a long time before hearing his inaudible footsteps.Then Ye Fan's voice came: "This bed is so small, don't you live in the school and still squeeze with me?"

"I'll take a blanket."

"Why did you take me away? Anyway, all your things have been moved away!"

"That……"

What was said later, Gu Hang didn't hear clearly, there was a violent factor in his heart that kept rushing up, yelling and kicking the door to go in and do something.But in the end Gu Hang didn't do anything, there was another rustling sound inside, Gu Hang felt that he heard Ye Chuan's breathing, only a door separated him.

Inside the door, Ye Chuan pulled a sack and spread it on the ground, lay down on it and covered himself with a sheet.It's not that he didn't feel bitter. Before his mother passed away, he pulled him to the front and told him that he must let his younger brother in the future and be sensible.Learn to live by yourself, don't make dad angry.Before that, he found out that Ye Yaotang was not close to him, but he knew it was not his real son when he was in the first year of junior high school.With good grades, he was successfully admitted to junior high school. He returned home with the notification letter, happily saying that he had been admitted to the experimental middle school, but Ye Yaotang's first sentence was, "Where can I get you money to go to school?"Your brother's tuition fee has not yet been paid.

Later, when the school started, the tuition fee of [-] yuan was still paid by the class teacher who came to visit the house one after another.He remembered that Ye Yaotang beat him up that night, saying that he had been losing money all his life, sending away the sick ghost and raising a son for others.Only then did he realize that he didn't belong to this family, but he still doesn't know the ways between adults.He is not Ye Yaotang's own son, but his mother loves him, and his younger brother was also born to his mother.If the mother conceived him with another man, why didn't they get together?He couldn't figure it out, so he simply pretended not to know, anyway, he was in this family as long as he could remember, and even if he had no blood relationship, he couldn't leave.

Ye Chuan pressed his eyes tightly, not wanting to cry anymore.He thought that his current father treated him well, no matter what he said, he still supported him all the way to high school.No matter how impatient the words are, it is not less than his expenses. Although the living expenses of his junior high school are not as much as his brother's pocket money, they are given after all.

Outside the door, Gu Hang looked up at the sky, all the houses had lost their lights, looking at the sky at this time, it was as if he was in the countryside back then, the stars were extraordinarily bright.Gu Hang hummed in a low voice, "I know I didn't find it myself. No one can stop my love from leaving. What should be yours is yours. If it is not yours, let it go. At least you still have me and me, a true love." Unchanging friend, as long as you need me, tell me, I am willing to spend it with you forever." He couldn't find a way out, his chest was so suffocated, he couldn't find a way to comfort him, to escape, and he sang to Ye Chuan as well. listen to yourself.

Inside the door, Ye Chuan thought that there was something wrong with his ears, so he lifted the quilt and listened for a while, then sat up suddenly, and the tears he had been suppressing flowed down instantly.He pressed his chest to get up, and gently opened the door latch again with shaking hands. When he poked his head out, Gu Hang was turning his head to look at him and smiling, and slowly opened his arms towards him.

The temptation of that embrace was too strong, Ye Chuan held the door panel for a long time, and closed the door and leaned over.The two sat side by side under the wall, Ye Chuan leaned on his shoulder and listened to him softly humming a song he had never heard before, his heart was extremely warm.There had been no pedestrians on the street for a long time, Gu Hang moved Ye Chuan onto his lap, put his arms around his waist and leaned against his forehead and whispered, "Chuan'er, there is brother."

"Yeah." Ye Chuan hugged his neck tightly, and buried his face into his shoulder.

Gu Hang felt that the thin cloth on his shoulders was slowly soaking wet, and then slowly dried by his own body temperature and Ye Chuan's cheeks.A stray dog ​​passed in front of them, squatting curiously not far away and looking at them with its head tilted for a long time.Gu Hang and the dog looked at each other for a long time, sighed, hugged Ye Chuan tightly and buried his head by his ear.

Gu Hang woke up just after dawn, and there were people moving in the distance.Gu Hang patted Ye Chuan's face, and when he woke up from a daze, he kissed him on the forehead to make him stand up.

After sitting all night, the two legs did not seem to be his own, and the mosquitoes that had not been blown to death by the autumn wind bit his body badly, and he was still too cold.Inside, Ye Yaotang had already woken up, and began to pack his things with clangs.Gu Hang pushed Ye Chuan, and he leaned on the wall to walk around to the other side to slow down.

"What are you doing up so early?" Ye Yaotang's voice said.

"Oh." Ye Chuan rubbed his eyes, covered them and said quietly for a moment, "School starts at this time, I'm used to it."

"Come here and push the car out, someone will come and get it later."

"Oh."

Ye Chuan went in, packed up the sheets and sacks, pushed out the bicycle that he had repaired after staying up late last night, and went around to the wall, Gu Hang had already disappeared.If it weren't for the warmth of the kiss on the forehead, he would have thought everything was a dream.

When they got home, the whole family was still up. Gu Hang sat under the grape trellis and watched the morning light fall through the grape trellis. He finally thought about the source of Ye Chuan's living expenses in the future.

When Gu Weiguo went out, he was startled when he saw his son with damp hair covered in fine dew, and hurried over and asked, "Is the fast shift too stressful?"

"No." Gu Hang shook his head, "Thinking about how to start a business."

"That's why you didn't sleep all night?"

Gu Hang blinked and pretended to be innocent, "I'm just getting up."

Gu Weiguo took another look in disbelief and said: "It's okay to start a business, but learning is also necessary. If you come out to do business, educated people will value it."

"I know. Dad, I want to earn money to pay for tuition in high school, and I will invest in it when the time comes."

Gu Weiguo was a little confused about this son, and he didn't mention a word about the family's business before.Although a few people were crazily practicing stalls during the summer vacation, they didn't see any interest in money, and this idea suddenly popped up...

"If something happens, don't hide it from Dad."

"What can happen to me, I just want to make money by myself. Let Lei Lei save all your money, sooner or later he will be a wage earner." Gu Hang yawned, waved his hands and went back to the room to catch up on sleep .

Gu Hang stayed at home until the evening, so he still had a talk with Gu Weiguo.

"Dad, I want Ye Chuan to stay at our house tonight."

"Okay." Gu Weiguo didn't care.

Gu Hang pursed his lips, "Do you know what happened to Ye Chuan's family?"

Gu Weiguo still really didn't know, and instead asked Gu Hang: "What's the matter? Something happened?"

"No." Gu Hang frowned and looked outside, "His father doesn't seem to be very close to him."

"The reason why he is the boss is that the children of poor families have long been in charge of the family, and they have not shorted him for food and drink."

Gu Hang didn't say any more, and rode directly to Ye Chuan's house after dinner.Ye Chuan was knocking on the chain with a small hammer, when he saw him coming, he blushed before he said anything.Ye Yaotang's attitude towards Gu Hang has always been neither welcoming nor annoying, he nodded when he saw him coming over and continued to work on himself.

Gu Hang didn't know much about these crafts and couldn't help him much. Looking at the black oil in Ye Chuan's hands, and looking at Ye Fan who was sitting on a small bench holding a black and white TV and watching lively, he felt a little irritable.

"Uncle, at our gathering tonight, Ye Chuan will stay at my house with Wang Bo and the others." Gu Hang didn't even know how he called "Uncle". People don't like it at all.

Ye Fan turned his head to look at Gu Hang, smiled and said, "Brother Gu Hang, what do you guys want to play? Take me with you?"

"We are all high school students, you will play with Lei Lei in the future." Gu Hang perfunctory.

Ye Chuan raised his head and smiled, "I'll connect the car."

Gu Hang knelt down and snatched the small hammer, Ye Chuan didn't say anything, he supported the rivet and said, "Put this in, and it'll be fine."

Gu Hang smashed the rivets according to his instructions, and asked casually, "Why doesn't your brother come to help?"

"My brother is still young."

"It's too young to be able to marry a wife in the past." Gu Hang's tone couldn't help but mock.

Ye Fan turned his head to look at it and said, "That job is so dirty that it can't be washed off the clothes."

If Gu Hang remembers correctly, the short sleeves on him and Ye Yaotang's body are still the ones that Ye Chuan picked when they sold clothes together.Gu Hang suddenly felt that the people living in this small dirty house were as dirty as this house, except for his Chuan'er.
