[First time] Burn it, brother-in-law!

"Actually, I did have a little problem with my health, and I need to be hospitalized for a while..." Ah Chu thought about his words, trying to minimize the major incident.

"Is a brain tumor a minor problem? Don't discount it anymore, just tell the truth." Ah Ci interrupted him, "You once told me that no matter what happens, don't forget that you are with me. Now you are sick , why can't you let me accompany you to face this difficulty? In your heart, can I just be so unbearable? "

"Don't get me wrong, I don't have any distrust or contempt for you. It's just this matter, you can't change anything after you know it, you can only follow along and worry. Why should I add to your stress and troubles?" Ah Chu pulled his younger brother to the chair, pressed his shoulders, told him to sit down, and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. In fact, there is a tumor. It will be fine after an operation to cut it off."

"Then why are you delaying the operation? What are you afraid of?"

"What do I have to be afraid of? It's just that I have to recuperate for a while after the operation, and I have a lot of things to arrange, both public and private."

"Nothing is as important as the treatment! My family, the company and me, you need to have surgery!"

"The operation will be done sooner or later, but it has nothing to do with you persuading me." After Ah Chu blurted out, realizing that his tone was a little tough, he calmed down and explained, "Surgery is just like business. There are too many uncontrollable factors. People can guarantee a steady profit without losing money. Before that, you can only ask authoritative experts to take the lead and minimize the risk as much as possible. I have almost arranged it, so don’t worry about it.”

Ah Ci said anxiously: "Why can't you trust me more and let me help you share some of it?"

"Because you can't bear it."

"Then can you handle it yourself?"

"I don't care." Ah Chu lowered his eyes to look at the texture of the floor, and said in a low voice, "If the operation is successful, there is nothing to bear, and if it fails... let alone the burden."

"No, you'll be fine." Ah Ci said with certainty, but he knew very well in his heart that this was not a matter of his own decision.He shook his head helplessly, and said, "How did this happen? Why did this happen...Is it because I smoke? I've heard that the dangers of second-hand smoke include..."

"No! What the hell did Xia Yuechun tell you?" If Xia appeared here at this time, Ah Chu would punch him in the face without hesitation.Of course, classmate Xia wouldn't be so stupid as to come here for a beating now, and would even walk around their brother in the near future.Ah Chu could only suppress his anger and try his best to explain to his younger brother, "Ah Ci, listen to me, this is not your fault. There are many speculations about the cause of the tumor, but I think it should be related to the previous trauma. You know, I In the UK, I fell from the second floor and fell on my head."

"...Then what can I do for you now?" Ah Ci frowned, his eyes full of distress and worry.

"Do your own thing." Ah Chu wrapped his arms around Ah Ci's neck, looked down at him, "I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that it would affect your mood. When you are in a hurry, you are prone to trouble. I have a fever. Twice, you dare to do speeding and drunk driving. If you are unlucky, it will make things worse. Be careful when you work, pay attention when you drive, and don't let yourself get into trouble, that is the biggest favor you can do to me... As for Ai Zhong and Ai Hua, I will live with Ya Shu for a while first. If I recover quickly, I will be able to bring them back within three months."

"Why did you give Aizhong and Aihua to He Yashu? Are you relieved to give the children to her? Anything can happen in three months, so what if she hides the children? If the children don't follow you What should I do?" Ah Ci choked, and said, "Don't think that I don't know what you think. You are afraid that the operation will fail, so you first handed over the child to He Yashu, and then went to the operation alone. The child was brought back The necessary condition is that you recover, otherwise I will lose the three of you at the same time! You know that I have only three relatives left for me, but you don’t want to leave any of them to me! How untrustworthy am I that makes you prefer to find peace? After discussing with Yashu, you still don't feel at ease to hand over the child to me?"

"Aizhong Aihua has always been brought up by you, how could I not trust you?" Ah Chu sighed, "But it is the best arrangement for them to follow Yashu, which is good for you and them. I contacted Rongsheng However, he listened to Ya Shu and would not abuse the children..."

"I do not know either!"

"Your life is still very long, you should have your own life." Ah Chu said with some difficulty, "If anything happens to me, you have to find someone who loves you and live the rest of your life well."

"I promise you, I won't find anyone else, so no one will treat the children badly in this family, please don't send them out?" Ah Ci looked up at him and asked earnestly.

"Why don't you understand, what I'm afraid of is that you won't look for it!" Ah Chu's eyes turned red anxiously, "I'm most worried about you! Let's be realistic, no matter what happens to me, you have to plan the future for yourself. "

"...I have always felt that my future is to raise Aizhong Aihua with you. After retirement, I will enjoy a few years of leisure, plant flowers, and walk the dog. When I am too old to walk, I will support each other and move to the Go to the door and bask in the sun." As Ah Ci said, two lines of tears flowed down uncontrollably.He competed with himself and quickly wiped it off with his hands, but his voice trembled in the end.

Ah Chu frowned, put his arms around his head, and pressed it against his body.Soon, Ah Ci felt a drop of tears falling on the top of his head - the eldest brother always concealed his sadness well, hiding his sadness where he couldn't see it.His heart was moved, and he hugged Ah Chu's waist tightly, refusing to let go for a long time.

……

That night, Ah Ci suffered from insomnia.

For a while, he thought of the possible sequelae after Ah Chu's operation, and for a while, he thought of the glimpse before he drove into a tree—yes, his good reflexes saved his life at a critical moment.He swung the steering wheel sharply to avoid the truck, but jumped onto the sidewalk and knocked down a large tree on the side of the road.He thought that at that moment he would think of Rong Hua who died in the car accident, but he didn't.At that time, only a pair of tired and sad eyes flashed in his mind, those were the eyes of Ah Chu when he woke up in the hospital five years ago.

He leaned in the car to calm his breath, looked at the crooked tree trunk, and thought with lingering fear: If the truck just hit it, what would happen to him?What will the eldest brother worry about? "You also feel sorry for me, don't just ignore it when you get hotheaded!" I can't remember the occasion, Ah Chu once preached to him like this.At that time, I thought these words were alarmist, but I didn't put myself in the shoes of my elder brother.The car accident five years ago had already indirectly killed his father. Should the tragedy be repeated?

"Ci, are you asleep?" Ah Chu's voice broke the silence of the night, and brought Ah Ci back from his memories.

"Not yet." Ah Ci hurriedly got up, turned on the desk lamp, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"No." Ah Chu narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to cover the light, "Don't be nervous, I just can't sleep, I want to talk to you."

"Oh, that's good." Feeling a little relieved, Ah Ci lay back on the bed and turned off the lamp, "What do you want to talk about?"

"You said you wanted to raise flowers and dogs with me, have you decided what breed to raise?"

"I don't have any particular preference."

"The requirements are so low?" Ah Chu smacked his lips, and said with a little disappointment, "If I don't raise it, I'll do it. If I want to raise it, I will raise the most expensive and best one!"

"Okay, follow your advice and keep the most expensive and best one." Ah Ci said softly.

"Suddenly such cooperation, I can't get used to it." Ah Chu was very surprised, Ah Ci usually complained about his taste, "If you have any ideas, just say it, don't wait for me to buy it back, you don't want to raise it anymore."

"No. Even if you bring back a tiger, I will keep it."

"Oh, I just found out today that my brother is so obedient!" Ah Chu smiled, "It's a good habit, you have to keep it. It's best that you can still be so obedient after I have the operation."

"...When are you going to have surgery?"

"The plan is at the end of the month." Ah Chu squeezed his hand, "Don't worry. The craniotomy sounds daunting, but the success rate is very high."

"How is the success rate defined? Are you sure it's not a malignant tumor? Or is it guaranteed that there will be no sequelae?"

"... Ah Ci, no one can guarantee this. You have to be mentally prepared, maybe the result will be worse than no surgery."

"I understand. Don't worry, no matter what the result is, I will look forward and find a way to prevent things from getting worse. I remember everything you said, and I won't be emotional anymore. So, you don't have to bother to hide What's the matter. When you feel uncomfortable, just say it, don't lock yourself in the guest room, or use entertainment as an excuse to hide."

"Okay, I won't hide it from you in the future." Ah Chu hugged his younger brother, kissed and kissed again, and sighed, "It's really weird! When Ai Zhong Aihua was at home, I was always afraid of being bumped into by them. Making love is like being a thief." Yes. It’s hard to catch up with the kids when they’re not at home, so I’m not in the mood to do it.”

"Forget it today, I'm not in the mood." A Ci paused, and then said, "Before I send the children away, I want to take them to the zoo, and maybe have some snacks along the way... I will pay attention to the hygiene conditions , just make an exception this time, okay?"

"Didn't you object to me giving the child to Yashu just now? You figured it out so quickly?"

"I... I'll listen to you. Anyway, it's only a few months, and they will be brought back soon." Ah Ci clenched his fists, still reluctant to give up.But spending too much time on this issue will only delay Ah Chu's treatment.He had to accept this arrangement, and he could no longer let his elder brother be distracted from dealing with his emotions.

"Ah Ci... this Saturday, I will go to the snack street with you."

……

At five in the morning, Ah Chu woke up.Looking at his younger brother's sleeping face, he was satisfied but also a little sad.Wearing pajamas, he opened the door and closed it lightly, obviously afraid of waking Ah Ci.

However, when he came back 5 minutes later, he was no longer in the good mood to admire his brother's sleeping face, let alone the good temper of being gentle and considerate.He walked to the bed, pressed the fire and woke Ah Ci up: "Wake up, I have something to ask you."

"What?" Ah Ci opened his eyes, very confused.

"Explain, what happened to the car?"

"Ah!" Ah Ci slapped his forehead suddenly, and walked out guiltily, wanting to check the condition of the car, "Don't be nervous, I didn't hit anyone or the car, I just knocked down a tree. Is the car seriously damaged? I don't think the deformation is too severe at night, but the headlights are a bit..."

"Wait a minute!" Ah Chu grabbed him, "Let's be clear first, what kind of tree? Where did it hit?"

"On the way home from Chunhe Hospital, I can't remember which street it is. It seems to be a ginkgo tree."

"Is there a traffic police to deal with it?"

"No, I just drove away..."

"You can still sleep! Hit and run, do you still want to hang around in the police station?" Ah Chu glared at him, turned to make a phone call by the window, and asked Liu Ah Si to clean up the scene of the accident immediately, and plant another tree on the spot Ginkgo Tree.Finally, I emphasized that you must never tell anyone.

Ah Ci was completely awake now, and also realized the seriousness.He waited for Ah Chu to hang up the phone, and was about to say something, but found that Ah Chu made another call, and hinted him with his eyes to keep quiet.

Ah Chu suppressed his throat, and said hoarsely: "Hey, Yuechun, it's me."

"Of course I know it's you! Please check what time it is!" Xia Yuechun was obviously woken up by him.

"I'm sorry for waking you up. I'm really in a hurry." Ah Chu's voice was exhausted and anxious, "Ah Ci didn't go home yesterday, nor was he on duty at work. I called him and no one answered. They said they didn't see anyone... Yuechun, I have an ominous premonition, I'm afraid something will happen to him. Please help me find out if there are any emergency patients whose identities cannot be identified yesterday."

Xia Yuechun was completely sleepy at this time: "Calm down, I'll check right away."

"Please." Ah Chu said in a stern voice, and hung up the phone.

"How are you going to end?" Ah Ci asked carefully.

"I should be the one to ask this question, right?" Ah Chu leaned back on the chair, and his voice returned to normal, "Yesterday your car drove in with the left light on, and I wondered why the turn signal didn't flash. There was a commotion It took you a long time to crash the right car light! You were quite calm when you came back, and you promised me to be calm and not to be emotional anymore... I actually believed you!"

"...I promise that in the future, this kind of thing will never happen again..." Ah Ci said halfway, the phone rang suddenly, he glanced at it, and the name displayed on the screen was Xia Yuechun, "Shall I answer it?" ?”

"What do you think?" Ah Chu tilted his head and asked back.

Ah Ci silently put the phone back on the table, and with the accompaniment of the ringtone, he gently persuaded: "Maybe he really didn't recognize me... Even if he did, it's for your own good to tell me the truth."

"Yeah, it's thanks to him, otherwise what kind of tree would you have hit?" Ah Chu said angrily.

Ah Ci was dripping with sweat, but didn't make a sound.

"Talk, you're not a rabbit, why are you hitting a tree stump?" Ah Chu tensed for a while, seeing Ah Ci's embarrassment, he finally relaxed, and said helplessly, "Tell me, what should I do with you?" ?”
