24. Once

Finally, Yang Lin let out a breath under Nie Chuan's silent insistence, and spoke lightly.

"It's nothing. I was adopted when I was five years old. The couple had been married for several years and had no children. As a result, the woman became pregnant as soon as I went there. They were still twins and two boys, so I was redundant."

Nie Chuan frowned, "You"

"That woman might have been offended because she couldn't have a baby before, but she turned around after she became pregnant. The couple quarreled every day, and the man took it out on me if he didn't dare touch the pregnant woman."

"Then you don't care about it in the courtyard?"

Yang Lin chuckled, "Our hospital is in Ning County, more than 70 kilometers away from Xingzhou. At that time, I didn't know the phone number in the hospital, and I didn't dare to ask my neighbors for help. Later, I sneaked away while they were sleeping."

Speaking of this, Yang Lin smiled again, "If I say I'm lucky, I can always meet good people. I was only six years old at the time, and I only knew to walk along one road, but when it got dark, I was picked up by my family ...Maybe it was because I was miserable, they called the police, and they returned to the courtyard later."

On the national road in winter, he still remembers the dirty slush that has not melted on the side of the road, and the wind whistling in his ears all the time, and the road is long and never ends.

All of this remained intact in his dream, constantly replaying.

Seeing that Yang Lin was always calm and even smiling, Nie Chuan immediately remembered that his brother was smiling like this when he was dying.He suppressed the pain in his heart, and asked in a cold voice, "What happened next?"

Yang Lin was very calm, "I went back to the courtyard afterward."

Nie Chuan asked, "The police don't care?"

Yang Lin shook his head, "At that time I was their adopted son, and I beat my son, and the police couldn't do anything about it." He smiled again at this point, "Actually, the police are very good, and they helped a lot with the retirement procedures. .”

There was silence for a while, and then Nie Chuan asked, "Where is that family now?"

Yang Lin shook his head, "I don't know, they should be in Xingzhou, they are locals, and they run a supermarket on Crescent Street."

Nie Chuan asked, "What are the names of those two people, and what's the name of the supermarket?"

Yang Lin looked at him in surprise, "Brother Chuan, you don't mean to call me back, do you?"

Nie Chuan said with a cold face, "Yes."

Yang Lin smiled, "Okay, okay, haha."

Nie Chuan felt pain in his heart again, he got up and patted Yang Lin's head, "Name."

"The man's name is Pan Weimin, the woman's name is Yu Hong, and the supermarket is called "Weimin Supermarket." Yang Lin was stunned by his sudden closeness, and said dumbly.

After finishing speaking, I came back to my senses, "No, Brother Chuan, you won't come for real, you can't do it, it's over, let's live our lives well."

Nie Chuan didn't speak, but patted his head again.

There was another silence, Nie Chuan didn't know how to comfort the smiling man.

Yang Lin was cramped, the sudden closeness made his heart beat for no reason, he would talk too much when he was nervous, he said softly, "Brother Chuan, Xiaofei's name is Nie Chong, I always thought it was Nie Fei or Nie Xiaofei."

"Ah."

Yang Lin, it's better to chat with the little friends, but he still tried to find a topic, "What does Chong mean? If I didn't hear you say it today, I still don't know how to pronounce this word."

Nie Chuan's voice was muffled, "Chong means to fly upwards, so the nickname is Xiao Fei, which was given by my brother."

Yang Lin, do you want to ask why Brother Nie chose this name in the next sentence?Do you want to be so annoying.

Nie Chuan didn't feel Yang Lin's embarrassment.He sat by the bed and watched the man pat the child as he walked around the bed.

The silent night and the little light, the soft-spoken past, and the child that both of them worried about, all these make people want to believe.

But maybe it was just the news he got today that made him sad, and he was so sad that he wanted to say it.

"My brother was born in [-]. At that time, the Ermao factory and the polyester factory were no longer profitable, but everyone lived like that, and it was fine. As a result, I was born in [-]. At that time, my mother didn't want it. It was my father who insisted on it." Let me stay, oh, I wish he didn't."

Yang Lin didn't understand, but he didn't ask anything, just stood there and shook the child gently.

Nie Chuan's voice was very deep, "At that time, the state-owned enterprises were very strict with Chaosheng. With me, my mother was fired. As a result, the factory issued a buyout policy in the second year. If I were not there, my mother would come out. She can also get [-] to [-] yuan, which was a lot of money at the time. But now she not only lost her job, but also couldn’t get the money, and she was stuck at home with a child... The house was noisy every day, and finally my dad couldn’t help it. He bought it out and got some money, but there was nothing to do... Later he bought a motorcycle to sell eggs."

Yang Lin didn't speak, and quietly took a step closer to him.

Nie Chuan put his hands on the edge of the bed and looked at the ground, "I haven't made any money after working for two years... After I went to kindergarten, my mother went to look after the shop for others, and she didn't come home all day... Later My dad got his driver's license to drive a taxi. He works the night shift, picks up the car at [-] o'clock every night, and delivers the car at [-] o'clock the next morning."

Yang Lin quietly moved one step closer to him, then sat on the bed next to him, without speaking.

Nie Chuan touched the child's hand, "This way my dad can take care of the family... I remember that's when my brother learned to cook, and he loves me and my dad... He studied It's very good, it's No.1 every time, and now when I go to the attached high school to mention Nie Dong's name, the teacher remembers it... My dad has a good temper, and my mother is the one who beats people at home. I will quarrel with her...but I can't quarrel..."

The two brothers' middle schools both studied in the attached middle school in Sanhe District.In fact, without Nie Dong, Nie Chuan would not have been able to go to high school. His grades were too poor, and he was far away from the cut-off mark of the attached high school.

The medicine took effect, and the child began to sweat. Yang Lin took a tissue and wiped it gently for him.

"In 09, my brother took the college entrance examination, No.1 in Sanhe District, and ninth in the province. My dad was so happy that he set up more than a dozen tables of wine...Drinking too much, crying too much...." Nie Chuan's voice was low, with a hint of aftertaste, indescribably gentle.

"My brother went to X University. He could have gone to a better school with his grades, but he told me that he wanted to go far away and take me and my dad away... I was also happy at the time and thought it was a good idea.”

Yang Lin remembered an article he had read before. Having a strong and controlling mother is a disaster for the boys in the family.Contacting Wu Hui, Yang Lin felt that he could understand the escape of the brothers.

"That year when I was in the first grade of junior high school, I forgot to bring my books when I was reviewing at the end of the semester. I was afraid that the teacher would scold me, so I asked my dad to give it to me... He just handed in his car and rode a motorcycle to school. A few minutes... I was riding very fast, and it was snowing... I got hooked up with a car... Then I left... I didn't know at school , I was fined to stand without a book, and I blamed him for being slow..."

Nie Chuan's voice was intermittent, but calm all the time, as if he was not in pain.

"My mother is going crazy, my brother almost learns..."

He was almost beaten to death by his mother that day.

From that day on, he was upgraded from "broom star" to "sangmen star" in his mother's mouth. . . . . .It was also from that day that he gave up his studies and did not speak for more than a year.

Later, when my mother was angry all the time, my brother was afraid that something would happen to the two of them at home, so he insisted on letting him live in school, and the cost was saved by my brother.Because of him, my brother started various part-time jobs before he got used to university, and his physical overdraft also started from then on.

"My brother is very smart and works very hard. He has been working part-time, but his grades are still very good. He has been admitted to graduate school for 13 years... a graduate student at X University... But my mother said The family is in trouble, and I am also in the second year of high school, so I insisted on letting him come back... In fact, my mother just wants the whole family to surround her, and she has the final say."

Nie Chuan paused for a long time before saying again, "My brother also knows that it's not about money. He never asked my mother for money since his junior year. My pocket money, accommodation expenses, and tuition for boxing training are all paid by him. of.

At this point, there was finally hatred in my voice, "I just heard from my sister-in-law today that my mother told my brother that I was a mess in the society. She couldn't control it. If my brother doesn't come back, I will be shot sooner or later!"

Yang Lin suddenly turned his face away.

Nie Chuan lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, but his fists on the edge of the bed were tightly clenched, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

After a long time, Nie Chuan said, "My brother was afraid of my rebellion, so he didn't dare to tell me... Actually, I didn't... But if I can make him feel at ease, he won't be so tired , won’t come back... and won’t leave so early.”

Yang Lin felt the despair of the people around him, so he moved forward by tidying up the children.

Occasionally, the arms touch each other and are warm.

Maturity is a painful word, it may not be gained, but it will definitely be lost.

It wasn't until the bottle of liquid was almost finished that Yang Lin said, "Brother Chuan, please ring the bell."

Nie Chuan got up, and Yang Lin put the child back on the bed after the nurse changed the medicine.The child's fever had subsided, and he was sweating again. Yang Lin carefully dressed him, wrapped him in diapers, and covered him with the quilt again.

The two sat by the bed and looked at the child. After a long time, Yang Lin asked, "Brother Chuan, is Brother Nie Dong sick?"

Nie Chuan nodded, "Liver cancer. It was found out by the unit's physical examination, and Xiaofei will soon be due to give birth... It was discovered too late, and he was too tolerant... At eight months, people will die. gone."

There was another long silence, and then Yang Lin asked cautiously, "Is Xiao Fei adopted by you now?"

Nie Chuan had calmed down, "My sister-in-law was set up by my mother and her mother. She is not bad, but she has no opinions. Before my brother left, her mother said that Xiao Fei would also inherit this disease in the future. Young must look for it, and she is determined not to let her have a child... My mother is like that again, and then I went to Zhang Yuan, and it was Police Officer Zhang who helped Xiaofei's custody."

In fact, Liu Ying's consent was obtained - she has been dissatisfied with this mother-in-law for a long time, and deliberately avoided her mother to do it, so it took a little effort.

Originally, Nie Chuan had always been concerned about his nephew losing his parents when he was young, but today's illness made him no longer regret it.

In the past, he only knew that this sister-in-law was squeamish, and his brother also said that she was not bad, but now he found that she probably never had children!At least I didn't study hard.

Rather than handing over the little nephew to such an irresponsible mother, it is better to take it with peace of mind.Of course, you have to study hard yourself.

Another reason for fighting for custody is that the house is involved. He can't trust his mother, but he doesn't need to tell Yang Lin about it.

Yang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine to put your name under your name, brother Chuan, don't think too much, we can give big brother the best reward by bringing Xiaofei up well."

After finishing speaking, I felt that it was wrong, so I quickly added, "I think Brother Nie Dong chose the word "忀" to let Xiaofei live freely and not be trapped like him, so we don't let him down."

Nie Chuan. . . . . .

Yang Lin felt that the more he talked, the more confused he became, especially when he saw Nie Chuan not talking and just staring at him. "Brother Chuan, children always get better when they grow up."

Nie Chuan. . . . . .

Yang Lin started to stammer, "Really, Brother Chuan, I think, Uncle and Brother Nie Dong, um, they all want you to have a good life, instead of blaming yourself and guilt, you, don't be too sad .”

Nie Chuan didn't speak, but raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Yang Lin, it's too foul, but male god, aren't you really sad and confused?

Seeing his dumbfounded look, Nie Chuan said earnestly, "Don't comfort me, I figured it out a long time ago, what I owe will all be returned to Xiao Fei."

Fortunately, Xiaofei was still there.

But mom, although our relationship has been tense for many years because of my birth and dad, I also thought that we would raise Xiao Fei together and take good care of you in the future, but now, that's all we can do.
