Su Teng's room has few things, just a small wardrobe and desk. Su Teng tidies up the room, just like himself, giving people a comfortable feeling.

Cheng Xi walked over lightly, and the focused person didn't notice his existence at all.When the distance was close enough, Cheng Xi suddenly jumped up and threw himself on Su Teng.

"Ah!" Su Teng was taken aback, and it was Cheng Xi who realized that he was unwilling to be suppressed by him, and tickled him with his hands.

Cheng Xi laughed out loud, shouting: "Brother, you've turned bad!" while fighting back.

Su Teng was defeated in two or three strokes, lying on the bed and giggling: "Okay, okay, no more..."

Cheng Xi didn't stop until he had had enough trouble. Seeing Su Teng blushing, he couldn't help wrapping his arms around him, rubbing his cheeks against him.

"Why are you still acting like a child?" Su Teng smiled and patted Cheng Xi's shoulder.

Cheng Xi couldn't help showing off in front of his sweetheart: "Brother, I did something big today."

Being hugged by Cheng Xi like this, although it is late autumn, it is still a little hot.But seeing Cheng Xi's smug tone, Su Teng couldn't bear to interrupt, so he followed his words and asked, "What's the big deal?"

Cheng Xi clattered about his purchase of land, did Su Teng understand that he was so proud of buying a garbage dump?But he still said: "Well, my brother is the most powerful."

Cheng Xi saw his expression of disbelief, and said, "Just watch, and within a year, I will return you with several times the money I earned!"

Su Teng nodded and smiled: "My brother is always the best."

Only then was Cheng Xi satisfied, and pinched Su Teng's face: "Xiao Mian, I still don't believe it."

Su Teng returned to that shy look. In front of this younger brother, he always had no prestige at all.The two stayed for a while, and then heard Cheng Xi say a bunch of bold words that he didn't understand, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "Have you withdrawn all the money in the passbook?"

"Take it, what's the matter?"

"If... I have taken them all, return the passbook to me." Su Teng spoke softly, and he was always cautious when asking.

Cheng Xi took out the passbook and handed it over: "What do you want this empty passbook for? I'll give it to you after I deposit some money up there?"

Su Teng reached out to take it, stroked the passbook lightly, and said, "This...is left to me by my father."

Cheng Xi couldn't see him being so angry: "Don't think about it." He believed in his heart that Su Teng's irresponsible father must have left him and left, "Your father still doesn't know where to be happy!"

"Dad, he... passed away." Su Teng shook his head and said in a low voice.

Cheng Xi didn't expect such a situation, so annoyed, he patted his back and couldn't help apologizing: "I'm sorry, brother...I..."

"It's okay, I don't blame you." Su Teng shook his head, with unresolved sadness in his eyes, "It's just... I miss my father." As soon as he said those words, tears fell down.When Su Teng cried, he was quiet, so quiet that it made people feel distressed.

Cheng Xi was very distressed, and held his face with both hands to help him wipe away his tears: "Don't cry, brother. Don't you still have me, I will treat you well, don't cry."

Su Teng shed a few tears and fell silent again.It's really been a long time since I mentioned my father in front of others. After so long, the pain in my heart has not diminished at all.

"When is your father's... death date?" Afraid that he might not understand, Cheng Xi gestured again, "Exactly, when did your father pass away?"

"October 24st."

"Isn't that next Sunday?"

"Yeah." Su Teng nodded slightly, his head still hanging down.

Cheng Xi patted his head: "Then I will accompany you to worship at that time. Let him see that you are living well, so he can rest assured."

"Worship?" Su Teng slightly raised his head, looking at him with moist eyes.

"Just go to your father's grave to offer incense, kowtow a few times, and chat with him. His spirit in heaven will see it."

Su Teng burst into tears: "Mom won't let me go."

"Leave her alone, let's go quietly." Cheng Xi hugged Su Teng, and Su Teng felt less helpless, so he put his courage back and gently hugged Cheng Xi.Cheng Xi didn't have time to be happy right now, he just cared about coaxing the distressed child in his arms.

In the end, the longing for his father overcame everything, and Su Teng made up his mind to go to worship.After sobbing for a while, Su Teng calmed down, quietly leaning on Cheng Xi's shoulder, neither of them spoke.

On the other side, Cheng Xu heard that Aunt Xia said that his brother had returned and went to the second floor, so he went upstairs to find his brother.His brother used to help him give lectures and so on, but after that Su Teng came, all these concerns disappeared.Reluctantly, he went upstairs to play with his brother.

When I went upstairs, I heard the voices of two people in Su Teng's bedroom.The door was not closed, and he looked through the crack of the door, just in time to see Su Teng scratching Cheng Xi's itch, seeing the two of them having a good time, rolling their eyes, kicking and running downstairs, shouting at the one he didn't like either Aunt Xia: "Aunt Xia! I saw brother Su Teng bullying my brother!" She looked like she was about to cry.

A child's mind is the most sensitive. He knew early on that Aunt Xia didn't like him, and she didn't like his own son either.Sure enough, when Xia Rushi heard this, she put down the flowers she was pruning, washed her hands and went upstairs.

Kicking open the door of Su Teng's bedroom, Xia Rushi saw Su Teng lying on Cheng Xi's shoulder with red eyes.

She didn't pursue the cause and effect, and took the opportunity to scold: "Su Teng, you are going to die! How dare you bully your younger brother! You are just an oil bottle dependent on others, who lent you such courage!"

Cheng Xi had nothing to say to this mad woman, and when he saw Cheng Xu standing behind Xia Rushi and smiling at Su Teng provocatively, he knew what was going on.He was sitting on the edge of Su Teng's bed, but now he stood up, and said to Xia Rushi with a particularly aggrieved and sincere voice: "Aunt Xia, it's like this, just now I saw my brother's schoolbag looks good, so I wanted to grab it, brother I just started crying after being pushed down by me, I'm sorry Aunt Xia, I won't dare to do it again next time."

Xia Rushi was afraid that the eldest son of the Cheng family might mistakenly think he was scolding him, so she calmed down and said, "Children will inevitably have bumps and bumps. This is a sign of the good relationship between the two of you. Auntie is also anxious, so she ran up to see Depends on the situation." He said a few more words, "Su Teng, you are the oldest, so you should give way to your younger brother."

Su Teng has long been used to Xia Rushi's insults, and he has no excuses.

After Xia Rushi left, Cheng Xi looked at Su Teng with hatred: "You just accept it like this!"

Seeing that Su Teng didn't realize it at all, Cheng Xi could only comfort himself, at worst, he would get used to him more in the future, didn't it mean that this temper is all from habit?

Su Teng was out of shape for a whole week. Sometimes Cheng Xi asked him something, and he had to go back for a while before he apologized embarrassingly that he didn't hear clearly.

Cheng Xi knew that he was disturbed by going to his father's grave to worship, so he could only let him go.After finally surviving until Sunday, the two got up early and rushed to the cemetery before dawn.

There was no one on the bus, and the two sat on the back seat. Su Teng was nervous and uneasy all over his body, and even touched the back of Cheng Xi's hand with his hand.Of course Cheng Xi would not let go of such an opportunity, and firmly held Su Teng's hand with his backhand.Su Teng's palms were sweaty, and Cheng Xi coaxed him patiently: "There's nothing to be nervous about. I'm going to see you now, but the person who loves you the most." I added silently in my heart, before you met me.

Su Teng nodded, and the warmth from Cheng Xi's hands really calmed him down.The two walked slowly to the cemetery holding hands, because Su Teng had never been there before, and only knew that his father was lying there, and he had to find out where it was.

The two looked at one grave after another, and finally found the resting place of Su Teng's father under a cypress tree in the west.

Dense weeds grew on the grave, and it rustled when the wind blew. A monument was erected in front of the grave, and the words "Tomb of Duke Su Yucheng" were engraved on the monument.

When Su Teng saw the tombstone, he didn't move. He knelt down with a plop, hugged the tombstone with both hands, and wept silently against the cold stone.

Cheng Xi hurriedly knelt down after him, fearing that he would not vent enough to make him feel sick, so he persuaded him, "If you have something in your heart, you have to say it so that your father can hear it."

After hearing this, Su Teng finally made a sound slowly.Sobbing softly for a while, broke down in sobs: "Dad... I really miss you... If you didn't pick me up that day... Woo... You are... still fine..."

This sentence lasted for 3 minutes, and the following words gradually continued: "I really, really want to go with you. But I remember, you smiled so well at me while lying on the hospital bed, saying that I am you The strongest baby."

"Dad, I survived. I'm doing well and strong now. Did you see that?"

The boy knelt in front of a lonely grave, from early morning to sunrise, and then to noon.Accompanied by his crying was the rustling of the big tree, as if his father was coaxing him with the most gentle tone: You will always be the strongest baby of your father.

Dad, I remember you putting me on your shoulders when I was little.And you can't wait for the moment when my immature shoulders pick up the burden of the family, and you just leave me like this.

Dad, I still remember that you taught me to be cheerful and gave me the happiest childhood.And I have nothing to repay you, and I will never see your smile again in this life.

Do you know how the days and nights after you left, how your son was haunted by nightmares and felt that life was hopeless?

Now you don't have to worry about it, I have already learned to deal with it calmly, and I even gained a family affection by accident.Su Teng looked at Cheng Xi, facing him, Cheng Xi always had a gentle expression on his face, and now he was kneeling beside him and looking at him, with worry and concern in his eyes that could not be ignored.

Su Teng's long-suffering grief seemed to have vented a bit. He stood up and pulled out the weeds on the grave with his hands. Seeing this, Cheng Xi helped pull them out.The roots of these grasses are quite deep, and it is easy to hurt your hands if you are not careful.Cheng Xi felt sorry for Su Teng, but he didn't dare to ask Su Teng to wait beside him, so he could only speed up the speed of weeding and let Su Teng pull as little as possible.

After pulling the weeds, both of them had scars on their hands. Su Teng pulled out a smile, kowtowed to his father again, took out a pen and a small note from his pocket, and scribbled on the note. Write a few words.Looking at it from Cheng Xi's point of view, it is clear that Su Teng wrote: Dad, I love you.Then Su Teng buried the note in the soil under the cypress tree and waved goodbye to his father.

"I will come to see you again, Dad." Su Teng said.

On the way back in the car, Su Teng said something to Cheng Xi: "Thank you for accompanying me to see Dad."

Cheng Xi shook his head and put Su Teng's head on his shoulder: "Take a break."

Su Teng was really tired from crying, and fell asleep after a while.

The bus drove on the mountain road, undulating like a cradle that I slept in when I was a child.The person next to him is Cheng Xi, and Su Teng has never felt so at ease.
