Brothers second and third

Chapter 10

The postgraduate entrance exam came as scheduled, and the two-day exam is still fresh in my memory.After the last subject was over, the bell rang, and the whole person immediately relaxed, and the nerves that had been strained for several months were finally relaxed.Walking out of the examination room, I saw my boss and his girlfriend waving to me from a distance, and ran over to ask him how the exam was going, and the boss said that he should be able to go online.Looking at the confident look of the boss, he knew that there was no problem.I turned around and looked for the figure of the second child in the crowd, but after looking for a long time, there was nothing.We thought he had left first and was about to leave when we heard the voice of the second child coming through the noisy crowd: "Wait for me!" The second child squeezed out of the crowd panting, muttering something.

The eldest's girlfriend smiled and asked the second: "How did you do in the exam?"

"It's okay, I don't feel anything."

The second child put one hand on my shoulder and said to me, "how are you doing?"

I said, "Almost."

The second child put his arm around my shoulder and said, "It seems that we will have to stay together for a few more years."

When the kid said this, his face was full of reluctance.At first glance, it looks like a sample.The boss laughed and said to the second son: "You just don't speak well, kid. You can't spit ivory out of your mouth when you say nice words."

The second child: "Boss, it's because you are wrong. How can I spit ivory if I am not an elephant?"

I answered: "You can't spit out a dog's mouth, you are almost like a dog."

The second child gave me a K when he caught me, this kid really won't grow up!The second girlfriend smiled and said, "Stop fighting, you two, let's have dinner and celebrate together!"

I said, "Okay, let me invite you this time. I have been saying that I want to treat everyone to a meal. Finally, I have time."

The second child said on the side: "Yes, yes, the third child treats you!" This guy!I'm afraid I can't show his existence!

I called and asked the fourth, fifth, and sixth to come out, and we went to a famous store near the school.Everyone was very interested. Thinking about it, it seemed that we hadn't got together for a long time, and we were all busy with our own affairs.And we haven't seen the fourth child for a long time, this kid rarely goes to school except for important classes.Everyone ate, drank, played and had a good time.I looked at the brothers in front of me and thought how lucky I was to have known them.Everyone drank too much that night, the boss and his girlfriend simply went to rest in a nearby hotel, and the fourth brother also took his girlfriend to take a taxi and left.The sixth child and the fifth child hissed at their backs for a while, and the two children also learned how to boo like the second child.The rest of us walked all the way to the dormitory, and the street lights shone brightly on the snow on the roadside.The second child put his hands in his pockets, and white gas came out of his mouth.On the way back, everyone was silent.

After a while, the sixth child said: "How time flies, there is only one year left to graduate in a blink of an eye."

The fifth child also said, "That's right, it's too fast. When I think of the freshman year, it seems that it hasn't been long."

My second child and I walked behind them, and no one answered.The sixth child turned around and said, "Both of you are in graduate school, and you can play together for a few more years."

The second child said, "Since when did Xiao Liu become so passionate?"

Lao Wu smiled and said, "Xiao Liu has always been a lover, but it's a pity that he didn't find a suitable fertile ground."

After hearing this, the sixth child and the fifth child laughed and laughed together.I watched them frolicking in front of me, and I also laughed together.

I had a holiday a few days after the postgraduate entrance examination.I was a little afraid to go home, although I also missed my uncles and aunts, my brother, my sister-in-law and my little nephew, but I was afraid to see their expectant eyes when I got home, and I was afraid that they would ask me if I had a partner and why I didn't find one.The holidays are here, and the buddies in the dormitory all pack their things and go home.I got on the train going south and looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, but I felt unspeakable melancholy in my heart.

After a day and a night of driving, I took the car to the town, backed up to the side of the road, and then I picked up my luggage and walked along the path home.It was already evening when I got home, and I saw my aunt waiting for me by the barren well at the head of the village from a distance. I walked over to put down my luggage: "I told you, don't come out and wait, it's so cold today, don't catch a cold." The aunt laughed She said: "I haven't seen you for a year, I hope to see you soon." As she said, she was about to carry my luggage, and I hurriedly picked it up: "I'll do it by myself, it's too heavy." Along the way My aunt happily told me that my little nephew has grown up a lot, my brother has also found a good job in the town, and my uncle is in good health.When I got home, the whole family gathered around to ask questions. I took out the toy I bought for my little nephew, and the little guy immediately threw himself into my arms.

In the evening, my sister-in-law prepared a large table of meals, and my uncle even took out the wine he had hidden to drink with my brother and me.Happiness is the reunion of a family, not seeking wealth but only peace.The little nephew stayed in my arms and did not leave. My sister-in-law smiled and said, "Kiss you!" My brother also said jealously beside me: "This kid has never been so dependent on his father, but he is relying on the second uncle not to let go." .” I hugged my little nephew and happily teased him.

The aunt said, "Depeng has a partner in school, right?"

I finally have to face it, I really don’t know how to face the love of my family, their eager eyes, I only hope that I can find a virtuous partner and live a happy life.I hugged my nephew, didn't dare to look into my aunt's eyes, and said, "I haven't looked for it yet."

The aunt said: "You are so old, it's time to find a partner. Look at your uncle's Dongzi. He is the same age as you, and the child can walk."

I smiled stiffly and didn't speak.

Uncle also said: "Don't be too picky, just about the same. We poor people can't be too picky, as long as the girl can fancy you."

At the dinner table, only my little nephew was playing with toys and his eyes were not on me.I lowered my head and said, "Got it."

The sister-in-law said: "I have a sister from a relative's family. She is quite handsome, but she hasn't studied for a few years. I don't know if you can like it. How about I introduce it to you?"

Aunt asked sister-in-law: "How old is that girl this year?"

"Just twenty, if Depeng agrees, I will take Depeng to visit after the Chinese New Year."

The aunt said: "That's a good thing, Depeng will go and have a look."

I said, "Let's go, I don't want to talk to someone yet."

After hearing this, the uncle knocked on the table with his hand: "You are not too young! If you don't talk about a partner, you want to be a bachelor!"

The aunt also said: "You see, your brother is one year older than you and has children. Your uncle and I are waiting for you to get married and have a second grandson!"

The elder brother ate the vegetables and said, "My younger brother is so stupid in studying. There is no rush for such a big matter as marriage. If you don't rush, the good girl will be snatched away!"

Auntie sighed.

That's when I remembered that I didn't tell them about the postgraduate entrance examination.I raised my head and said to my aunt: "I have passed the postgraduate entrance examination this year. If I pass the entrance examination, I plan to continue my studies."

My aunt said, "I'm studying again, when will I graduate?"

"Two and a half years."

Uncle said: "How old are you in two and a half years, hey, you can figure it out. We can't stop you, your future is also important."

I said, "Graduate school will not charge tuition fees, and when I work part-time, I can send some money to my family and save it to build a house."

My brother said: "Don't worry about family affairs, I'm here!"

The uncle said: "The family doesn't need your money. You are studying and working outside. It's too hard. We are just worried that you won't find someone again. What if you can't find someone in the future!"

My aunt said, "You have to hurry up when you find someone."

I looked at the table full of meals, including my favorite fried chicken nuggets, steamed fish, and mushrooms picked from the mountains, but I was not hungry at all.My sister-in-law saw that I didn't move my chopsticks very much, and said: "Hey! Don't talk about this as soon as Depeng comes back today. Come, Depeng eats this dish. Sister-in-law just made it, eat it while it's hot." People started talking about other things.

When relatives come to visit me during the New Year, the first thing they say when they see me is to ask me how old I am if I have a date, and then they will hold my aunt's hand and say that the girl from a certain family is very nice and can do housework well, and that the certain family also has a The girl is also good and can speak well.My aunt listened to what my relatives said, and kept saying yes, but when she looked back at me, there was a hint of worry in her eyes.I pretended not to hear their conversation, looking out the window at the fluttering birds.After the relatives left, my aunt tentatively asked me: "Do you want to go and see?"

I looked at my aunt's expectant eyes, and I really didn't want to reject her anymore, so I said, "Okay."

My aunt is very happy, she has been making arrangements all day, and she is going to let my sister-in-law take me to visit.The next day, I followed my sister-in-law to that family’s house. The girl poured water for us in a restrained manner, and then sat aside and listened to my sister-in-law chatting with her mother.

Her mother smiled and asked me: "How old is this year?"

I hurriedly put down the cup in my hand: "The Chinese New Year is 22 years old."

"Oh, the age is quite suitable. I also heard from your relatives, and I know that this baby is very good. But my baby hasn't studied for a few years."

The sister-in-law said: "Hey, as long as the two of you can see each other and think it's suitable."

The girl sat on the side very innocently, she listened to us talking, and occasionally looked up at her sister-in-law and me, and then smiled at me.The girl's mother was very enthusiastic and talked a lot with her sister-in-law. I listened to their conversation and looked at the clock on the wall. Time passed so slowly.

Finally got up and said goodbye to leave.After we came out, my sister-in-law asked me: "How is this girl doing?"

"I have no idea."

"Sister-in-law thinks it's pretty good, but when her mother heard that you will continue to study for a few years, her face was a little reluctant."

"Oh."

When I got home, my aunt was anxious to ask me how I was doing, so I had to answer that she was fine.The aunt asked the sister-in-law again: "What does the woman's family mean? Do you think it is suitable?"

The sister-in-law smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is fine, and I will definitely send you a letter after reading it in a few days."

The aunt said: "That's good, that's good."

In the evening, the family talked and laughed, and the topic was still this morning.

A few days later, a relative came over and said that the girl's family quite agreed with our relationship.It’s just that it’s difficult for me to continue studying. Her mother is worried that I will like other girls at school and wrong her family girl, so the premise is to get along for a year now and get married after graduating from college. But if I continue to study, Her family disagreed.My aunt looked at me and sighed, and said, "Make up your own mind, we can't make it up to you."

In those few days, I didn't dare to tell them that I wanted to continue studying. I was afraid to see them disappointed.The night before I left home, my aunt finally asked me, and I lowered my head and told her that I still wanted to study.My aunt and uncle didn't say anything after hearing this, they just said that I can make up my own mind.

When I left home, my aunt came to see me off by the barren well at the head of the village.I said the weather is so cold, you go back.She said it's okay, and she won't see you for another year, so she will see you a few more times.I walked farther and farther on the rugged mountain road with my bag on my back, and my aunt behind me was getting farther and farther away.The aunt standing at the entrance of the village kept wiping her eyes with her hands.As soon as I turned around, tears flowed down my face.
