the end of the day

Chapter 4 Patriarchy

The Yu family's bed is small, so you can't move around when you lie on it, otherwise you will squeak and scream.Duan Zhichu had long hands and long legs, and he slept on Yu Jiazhen's small bed. He couldn't stretch out side by side, and it was uncomfortable to be squeezed sideways. In the end, he had the cheek to press Yu Jiazhen directly, which freed up some space, and he finally slept soundly.

Yu Jiazhen was sleeping as soon as he touched the bed, but suddenly he was oppressed heavily in his dream, he couldn't breathe, and gradually opened his eyes, he quickly found the culprit, and raised his elbow to wake Duan Zhichu up.

"Don't do this to me." Yu Jiazhen said awkwardly, "Can't I lie down in my place?"

"I can't lie down, the bed is too small." Duan Zhichu said, while hugging him a little tighter, "If it's really impossible, I have to sleep on the floor."

Yu Jiazhen was helpless when he heard the words, the bed was indeed small, and he couldn't even count it spacious if he slept by himself.

"Let's just leave it like this." Duan Zhichu felt comfortable himself, he hummed and refused to move, "I'll install a new bed in your room later."

There was no other way, Yu Jiazhen endured it.Although the bed is small and the skin is close to each other, it also brings some warmth. Fortunately, it is not a dog day, otherwise it will be thrown into the river for him.

But he almost woke up in the middle of the night, with Duan Zhichu's head arched against his neck, sleeping soundly, panting like a cow.He stared dryly, his hands and feet were imprisoned, and he questioned God in his heart.

After suffering for an unknown amount of time, it seemed not too long, Yu Jiazhen pushed Duan Zhichu away and quietly went out the door.

Yu Zichang woke up earlier than a chicken, and was noisily teaching women in the back kitchen.The reprimand was loud and full of emotion, and Yu Jiazhen almost felt hatred when he heard it.

The house is small and leaky, so there is nowhere to hide the noise. Duan Zhichu woke up annoyed right after him, got up and saw that his arms were empty, so he searched for the sound and went to the back kitchen, where he saw a A so-called mother.

The woman was only slightly shorter than her, a little too thin, and her former beauty hadn't completely disappeared, but she was really too haggard, adding an undeserved bitterness.Fortunately, Yu Jiazhen looks like her, Duan Zhichu thought.

There are outsiders in the house, so no matter what, it is necessary to maintain dignity, Yu Zichang shut up in time, only muttered inaudible complaints in a low voice, shook his head and went back to the house.

"Mom." Yu Jiazhen said softly, "Don't talk to him."

Mama Yu wiped her hands with her apron, rubbed her fingertips together, and gave a restrained smile.

Her voice was thin and soft, like the river at the door: "It's so early, why don't you go to sleep again?"

"Don't sleep anymore." Duan Zhichu thought of the small bed, and he felt terrified, "Let's go after a while."

"Let's go after dinner." Probably not asking, Mama Yu went straight to the back kitchen to start a fire.

Yu's house is located between the weeds and farmland, with a shallow river across the door.The two went to the high embankment and sat down side by side. Yu Jiazhen said: "She was sick before, and the family didn't want to spend money, so she left." After a pause, "I was young at that time, and I couldn't remember anything."

"You look like her." Duan Zhichu asserted.

At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and the continuous black and blue night suddenly had a beginning—whether it was not an end, and light leaked from the tear, which was where the clouds came and where they went.

Where clouds go, people cannot.

"Do you believe it? Foreigners say that the earth is a ball, and we all stand on the ball."

Duan Zhichu curled his lips when he heard the words: "I don't believe it, a cunning foreigner is not a good thing."

"That's where they came from." Yu Jiazhen looked at the sky.

The clouds in the sky changed with the wind and shone with light. Yu Jiazhen saw some hidden hatred in the clouds-Yu Zichang's face, broken windows and broken house and himself in it.

"There are two places in the school. I will go to France to exchange next year... I was chosen, and now I only need to pay the money."

Duan Zhichu was silent, he knew that the Yu family would not be able to pay the money.

He plucked a dew-soaked grass, bit it in his mouth, and chewed it bitterly.

In fact, most of the time, the clouds are carried away by the wind.

I never thought about it, maybe if I really went to the horizon, this place would become the horizon.

"Do you want to go?" Duan Zhichu asked him.

"I want to go."

It was a misty morning, and when they stood up, they were cold and wet. They estimated the time for breakfast, went back to say goodbye to Mama Yu, and when they walked to the door, they heard the noise in the room again.

"The woman you bought back is useless. Be on guard every day, and run away if you don't fight."

Yu Jiazhen pushed the door hard, causing a crashing sound, which almost destroyed the whole house.

After two or three mouthfuls of breakfast, Duan Zhichu couldn't sit still any longer, stood up and said, "I'm going to drive."

The two were silent along the way, and when they arrived at the gate of St. Thomas Middle School, they were about to put Yu Jiazhen down when Duan Zhichu suddenly said, "France is nothing. I'll go to my father to find a solution."

Nowhere is as good as my own, Duan Zhichu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He ran into the living room, but the atmosphere at home today was abnormal.He threw his wet coat on the ground, thinking about Ji Yuhe's time, when he slammed into the big man who was reading a newspaper on the sofa.

"Father." Duan Zhichu's arrogance suddenly weakened, "You are back."

"Sit down." Duan Zhengqing put away the newspaper and put it beside him, crossed his legs, and glanced at him from the corner of his eye, "I don't go home very much now? Didn't I go to school? Tell me, where do you usually play?" .”

Duan Zhichu lowered his head, unconsciously preparing his hands and feet for escape: "I can't read the book, even if you kill me, I can't read it either."

"Who forced you?" Duan Zhengqing was amused. For some reason, today's mood is clear, not like dark clouds. "If I had taken care of you earlier, you wouldn't be like this."

While Duan Zhichu responded, he took two steps back, and slowly disappeared at the stairs.

Ji Yuhe disappeared, he searched back and forth in the corridor twice, and finally grabbed the new errand boy, he asked in a low voice, "Where is the person who showed you yesterday?"

That kid was not a few years older than Ji Yuhe, although he was from the countryside, he looked very bright.

After coming here for a few days, he had already seen the situation at home clearly, and when he heard this, he spread his hands regretfully: "It's on the top floor."

The upstairs is Duan Zhengqing's place, he has hardly been there.

After hesitating for a moment, he ran up to the top floor again.

At the entrance of the corridor on the third floor, Duan Zhichu passed Butler Cao who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Butler Cao stretched out his arm to stop him, but he didn't stop him. Instead, he scratched off his glasses, which fell down the stairs, and he was smashed to pieces.

He knocked from room to room until he came to the locked one, at the end of the corridor.

The damn handle couldn't be unscrewed, so he slammed on the door a few times, only knocking himself dizzy, and when there was nothing to do, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, shouting Ji Yuhe's name loudly: "Are you inside, right?"

Finally there was movement of a living thing in the room, Ji Yuhe stood in front of the door with a hoarse voice: "Duan Zhichu..."

"It's me." Duan Zhichu sat down on the ground with his back against the door, "I should have sent you back yesterday."

I vaguely thought of dirty things in my heart, but I didn't dare to mention them.

"I'm hungry, I want to eat cake." Ji Yuhe scratched the door with his fingers, sobbing softly.

"You won't get any old food?" Duan Zhichu said viciously, "Just wait."

Like a gust of wind, Duan Zhichu ran back to the living room along the stairs. He saw Duan Zhengqing still sitting on the sofa, smoking in one hand and drinking in the other, squinting his eyes, feeling very comfortable.

That face is sharp and angular, and has never looked younger than it actually looks; that face is like an unpredictable dark cloud, covering him uninterruptedly for more than ten years.He used to want to love his father so much. Like other children, Duan Zhengqing never gave him a chance.

Duan Zhichu rolled up his sleeves, the fire in his heart was already on fire, he had to fight today!

Walking in front of Duan Zhengqing with a straight face, Duan Zhichu gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Am I your son?"

Only then did Duan Zhengqing come back to his senses, and he looked at this respectable and furious young man in surprise.In fact, he often couldn't figure out whether this was his son?

"If you're not my son, then I must have owed you in my previous life—" Duan Zhengqing put down his wine glass, pinched his cigarette, and stood up, "You brat who doesn't know how to be grateful."

Duan Zhengqing never thought highly of him, a silvery wax head, an embroidered pillow, and a piece of cotton wool among them, even if he was so angry that he couldn't make any waves.

That's what raising a child is all about, and meat buns beat dogs, maybe it's really repaying the debt from the previous life.

Duan Zhichu cried, he rushed up and wrestled with Duan Zhengqing.

"Why do you have what you want? Why do you want to take mine! I don't have a mother, I don't have a father, and now I can't even make friends!"

"Why should I? Just because I am your father." Duan Zhengqing slapped Duan Zhichu on the face, and quickly pinned him down.

A teenage child, after all, has not grown up, so beating him is not like playing.

"I thought it was a big deal." Duan Zhengqing took out a clean square towel from his pocket and wiped off the blood on his left chin, "I spent money to redeem him. From now on, we will be a family."
