God said I would meet you

"What are they doing?" Lin Jinyu said indignantly, "Uneducated robbers."

Laron said nothing.Zhang Xinli said: "Their two families have festivals, it's a common thing."

"Then why didn't you tell your parents or teacher?" Lin Jinyu said, "Treat them well!"

Lalong still didn't speak, just shook his head silently.

Lin Jinyu felt that this child was too cowardly. If he was really poor, he must have something to hate.

"Okay, forget it," Zhang Xinli signaled Lin Jinyu not to ask, "Anyway, I'm fine now."

Lin Jinyu said: "Now is now, what about the future? You also said something that often happens, but this time you fooled it, what will you do next time? Still watching him get beaten?"

Zhang Xinli said to Lalong, "Where's your brother?"

Lalong pinched the corner of his clothes: "Not here," he said, "Going out, I'll be home later."

Lin Jinyu said: "The group of people just wanted to steal something from you, and they covered you so tightly. I didn't mean you. In fact, it was the situation just now. No matter what gold, silver or treasure you give them, you can just get it. People are the most The important thing is that there is no need to be beaten."

Laron sniffled, wiped his hands, and fished a new, blue-and-white candy from his crumpled pocket.

That was the white rabbit that Lin Jinyu gave him in the afternoon.

The tall cedar trees on the side of the mountain cut large groups of shadows in the sunlight, and the sunlight penetrated through the dense shade of the trees, casting small patches of light on the dirt road.

Mosquitoes flew by from time to time around, and everything was quiet, only the chirping of birds and insects intertwined.

Standing in the quiet mottled light and shadow, La Long said in a low voice, "He didn't want to grab anything, he just wanted to hit me...I covered it because I was afraid I would be trampled on." He looked at the candy, Said, "I want to keep one for my brother."

……

Lin Jinyu and Zhang Xinli sent Lalong home together.

At the end of that narrow, dark and backlit path is the home of the two brothers Lalong and Muse.In the adobe house with a few tens of square meters, there are five people, grandparents, mother, and father.Lalong said that his father went to work and would only come back once every few years.

Lin Jinyu couldn't imagine that the man who played the role of father in a family would not come back for several years. In the ten years of his son's life, there were only a handful of traces left by his father.So what is the meaning of this father's existence?What's his use?

When they got home, Mu Se hadn't come back, and her mother wasn't there either.Zhang Xinli fetched water for him to wash his face, while Lin Jinyu took out all the snacks in his pocket and gave them to Lalong.

"Goodbye." Laron walked them to the door and said, "Thank you. But please don't tell my brother and my mother," he said, "They will be sad."

Lin Jinyu couldn't understand the logic here, he wanted to jump back and grab Lalong's collar to wake him up, and yelled at him: Little brother!Compromise can only encourage bullying!will not be happy!

Zhang Xinli nodded, agreeing.

He grabbed Lin Jinyu, who was about to rush back to preach, and motioned for him to follow him.

"What are you doing?" Lin Jinyu was dragged out of the yard by him, and knocked off his hand that was holding her: "You are wrong! Do you know?"

"Why not?" Zhang Xinli said.

"You allow Lalong to swallow his anger, which is to encourage bullying in disguise." Lin Jinyu said very seriously: "It's wrong everywhere, very wrong."

Zhang Xinli turned around and looked at him: "Do you know why he always likes to fight Lalong?"

The rain sucks the team.

"Who is it?" Lin Jinyu asked.

"The tallest one," Zhang Xinli said, "point to the one you scold the most."

The image of the man with the scar on the left browbone appeared in Lin Jinyu's mind: "Remember..."

Zhang Xinli said: "That man's name is Gao Wu, and his mother is Lalong's father's ex-wife."

"???" Lin Jinyu said, "What about the fuck?"

"Dead." Zhang Xinli said: "It's just...was hit by a stone when entering the mountain. Our side is called 'widowed'."

Lin Jinyu was shocked: "Wait," he couldn't turn his head: "You mean...he...Gao Wu was born to his father and his ex-wife, La Long was born to his father and his incumbent, La Long was born to Mu Se They are brothers, but Mu Se looks bigger than Gao Wu...so...so..."

Zhang Xinli said: "Yes, Mu Se was brought here by his second-married mother. The three of them are brothers, one half-brother and one half-brother."

"But why," Lin Jinyu murmured, "Then why aren't they together..."

"Gao Wu doesn't want his father to remarry, and the burden is too heavy." Zhang Xinli said: "He doesn't want to stay with his stepmother, so he has been living with his grandmother."

"He... this... I..." Lin Jinyu felt that the whole ball of twine was tangled together in his mind, and there was so much twine that there was still room for a pair of long johns if straightened.

"It's hard for an honest official to decide on housework." Zhang Xinli said, "So you understand..."

"I can't understand this kind of... this kind of magical thing, and the relationship is too complicated," he said: "The family ethics drama of brothers crossing the wall, stepfather and stepmother... It doesn't matter if you account for one, so many elements come together..."

"It's not a drama," Zhang Xinli said, "I'm surprised? We have a lot of things like this here."

"How could there be such a..."

"My dad," Zhang Xinli interrupted him, and said, "In my grandfather's generation alone, there were two orphans." He said, "Continuation, remarriage, family reorganization, all kinds of changes that you can't imagine It can come at any time, illness, accidents, cheating, smoking... there are so many things that can destroy a family."

"My God..." Lin Jinyu exclaimed: "I always thought that this kind of plot would only appear in the eight o'clock show..."

Zhang Xinli looked at him like an idiot.

Sure enough, it doesn't make sense to talk to such a happy and carefree child. People always think that ordinary and beautiful things are easily available, and everyone in the world has everything he has.

Lin Jinyu was still in that state of shock: "Why... I've never seen such a thing before?"

Zhang Xinli said: "...God treats you kindly."

……

The aftertaste of this shock lasted until the night before bed.

Lin Jinyu was lying on the bed, still trying to figure out everyone's psychological activities under the chaotic and complicated reorganization relationship of Mu Se's family.

After Zhang Xinli took a shower, he put the towel on the head of the bed, and sat on the edge of the bed with his upper body shirtless, waiting for his hair to dry. It was rare that he didn't turn off the lights early.

"Is this kind of thing commonplace..." He looked at the ceiling and said half to himself, "I've never seen it before, and the family situations around me are not so complicated."

Zhang Xinli's forehead was slightly wet, and tiny drops of water dripped down his undried hair onto the nape of his smooth wheat-colored neck: "Is it that hard to accept," he said, "There are many things you haven't experienced. "

"I kind of understand that... who is that? Gao Wu."

"how?"

Lin Jinyu rested her hand on her pillow, leaning halfway on the bed: "If my mother dies, my father wants to marry another one, and I will let him have none." He said, "I don't accept my father's remarriage either, and I still want to marry another one." Let other women bring their sons to live in the place where my mother used to live, using things my mother used, there is no door, and I beat him to call him father."

"You think reorganized families shouldn't exist?"

"It's not so exaggerated, but the key is that the son in this family cannot accept reorganization." Lin Jinyu sat up and said to Zhang Xinli: "If I still love that person and my son, then that person is gone. Will remember him, will take good care of me and his son, let him grow up happily and healthy, and then bring a new mother home to make trouble for him, what's the matter?"

"It's not this problem..." Zhang Xinli didn't know how to say: "If he marries another woman, he will have someone to take care of him at home when he is making money outside, and the elderly and children will also be taken care of."

"Co-authors marry women just to do housework and take care of the children," Lin Jinyu said, "Where does this reason come from?"

"That's not what it means," Zhang Xinli thought for a while, and said, "It's a family model problem. Most of the women here don't go to junior high school, and there is no way out. They either go out to work with men or stay at home and concentrate on taking care of their children. The old man, living off the money the man sent back regularly, had no other way.

"...So Lalong's father is working outside and can't take care of the family. He needs a woman. Lalong's mother has lost a man and has no business. She needs money. The two of them get together, that's it."

"I can't accept it." Lin Jinyu put himself in his shoes and thought that if this happened to him, he would probably be more extreme, and he really sympathized with Gao Wu: "I can eat bran pickles, but I can't accept another woman sleeping with me. Where Mom slept."

"A lot of things... can't be concluded so simply," Zhang Xinli said: "Life is the most important thing. Some people can only live."

"I probably won't. Even if I really want to marry another one for some reason, it's fine if the child agrees. If the child doesn't agree, then I won't." Lin Jinyu glanced at the bare beams, and said solemnly: " I will love my family, love everything about them, and one day they will be gone and I will remember this love."

He said to himself, "I will not abandon my love for survival."

"One day when you really reach that point, you will." Zhang Xinli said.

"I won't." Lin Jinyu looked at Zhang Xinli's back, his brown eyes reflected the warm yellow light, his tone was solemn, and he took every word he said seriously.
