blowing clouds

No one has to bear the pressure of high school every year, but there are people who have to bear the pressure of high school every year. On Friday evening alone, Lin Ji, who hastily finished writing the paper, felt as if he had been sitting in the wind for a whole day, and his mind was dizzy Heavy, but fortunately, the joy of returning home quickly flooded into my heart, and the heavy schoolbag could not slow down the brisk pace.

The so-called home is not the one it used to be more than ten years ago, but the lights in it can also give him warmth.At this moment, the wind had already cut his ears a bit. After he ran into the house, he was surrounded by the warm current from the stove, making Lin Ji feel as comfortable as if he had a massage.

"Are you back? Hurry up and eat!" Chen Li picked up a steamed bun with a smile, and went down half of it in one bite, obviously waiting for him until he was hungry.

Lu Yan got up and served him a bowl of steaming porridge. Lin Ji put down his schoolbag and looked around. Finally, his eyes fell on the dark doors and windows of the bedroom: "Brother, haven't you come back yet?"

"What kind of club gathering do they have to celebrate the establishment of the library? It seems that they have to go to read books together after eating. They don't necessarily come back at night, so I won't wait for him."

After speaking casually, Chen Li drank half a bowl of thin soup again, and even praised Lu Yan's craftsmanship.

Lin Ji sat down slowly, as if his mind hadn't escaped from the tension in the classroom, he nodded slowly: "That's fine, otherwise I'll do my homework late, and it will disturb my rest."

Chen Li opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he continued to chew. He knew that as the two of them grew up, especially Lin Ji would have to face the problems of the college entrance examination in the future, it would definitely be difficult to squeeze together. He became more and more constrained, but he had no money to make his home more spacious.

But at least he has a goal and hope, Chen Li's eyes that are not too bright or even too big look very calm, like a loyal old scalper.

After dinner, Lin came to the bedroom that no one had visited for a week. After taking a deep breath, he could only smell the cool air. After staring blankly for a while, he opened his schoolbag, but before he wrote, he heard the conversation outside the door.

"It's going to be cold in the future, so don't go out at night."

"I'm not going to set up a stall," Chen Li, who was full of food and drink, was as angry as usual, "while everyone is huddled in the shop at this moment, I'll go inquire and see if there is anyone who sells the shop."

Lu Yan was slightly surprised: "Hey, are you developing in the direction of the shop owner?"

Chen Li chuckled, followed by the sound of footsteps leaving the house.

After he calmed down, Lin Ji was stunned for a long time and still didn't write a single word. Maybe he couldn't understand Chen Li's intentions 100%, but at least he had been a housekeeper himself and knew how much it cost to raise a person for no reason, let alone For him to go to school, Chen Li is still running around at the moment, nothing more than to earn more money.

Putting down his pen, he quietly came to the cabinet in the corner, which was filled with some of his sundries.He rummaged for a while, and found a new bright red passbook in a tattered cardboard box.

After his father left, the numbers on the passbook used to be the only thing that gave him a sense of security. He carefully guarded a penny and did not move it. Now he wanted to give it to Chen Li, but felt that the other party would not accept it. Sitting there continued to be in a daze.

He looked melancholy at the dimmed light bulb, not like a second-hand high school student, but like a philosopher.

It was getting late at night, and the air was getting colder. Suddenly leaving the warm embrace of the small restaurant, Chen Xiyang couldn't help but sneezed.

He was the one who drank the least in the group, so he looked the same as usual except for his blushing, while Xu Donghai stumbled out of the restaurant with the help of his girlfriend Xia Jun like a poor man who has been paralyzed for many years.

They originally planned to go to the library after the party, but they didn't expect it to happen. Some people have a headache after drinking too much, and some people have to go home urgently. In addition, the library is probably locked at the moment, so the plan has to be abandoned.

"It's not my brothers, why are you going to leave..."

Xu Donghai walked forward with blurred eyes, but he tripped over the stone on the signboard at the door. If it wasn't for Chen Xiyang's sharp eyesight and quick hand, Xia Jun would have used the ground as his bed and him as his quilt.

Xia Jun held back his temper and said: "Let's go, let's go, you too, don't freeze here in such a cold day!"

"This...why is it cold?" Xu Donghai shook his arms and danced, "Shooting, at the beginning of Shooting the Condors, Qiu Chuji went to kill the group of Jin Guo dogs, then it was called cold... It's the same, Swish Swish! "

"What kind of martial arts is Qiu Chuji? What kind of martial arts are you?" Chen Xiyang came over to pull him, because he couldn't figure out where the couple had developed, so he could only say, "Sister-in-law, he's so drunk, it's not convenient for you to send him home. How about I move the dormitory for him?"

Xia Jun was obviously angry today, and forced a smile: "Okay, then I will accompany you to the dormitory."

This was the first time that Chen Xiyang stayed in school on weekends. The dormitory was extremely quiet. Xu Donghai snored as soon as he touched the pillow, but it soon turned into heavy breathing.Chen Xiyang, who had nothing to do, stared at the night outside the glass for a moment, then simply turned on the desk lamp, took out a pen and paper, and began to write with a little drunkenness.

Lin Ji didn't expect that his affirmative and concise answer gave the story an ending.

It should be very late after finishing writing, but Chen Xiyang was not sleepy at all, instead he became more excited. He took out an envelope, picked up a magazine, and followed the mailing address on it.

After doing all this, Chen Xiyang was still not sleepy. He wandered around the dormitory with a cigarette in his mouth, and finally came to the window. The direction, of course, no matter which direction it is, it is all the same dark and gloomy at this time.

Perhaps it was because of writing that story that Chen Xiyang actually thought of Lin Ji on his own initiative, thinking that he must have slept soundly since he had the couch all to himself.

One night's separation would not make the two of them gluey, and when Chen Xiyang came home the next day, the two of them still did what they should, as if being single was a normal Friday night.

Chen Xiyang forgot about it after the postage stamps were mailed out, mainly because Xu Donghai was always nagging around him every day, which made him unable to remember things at all.Until New Year's Day was approaching, Lin Ji went home to rest in the middle of the week due to school holidays, but was stopped by the boss when he passed by a store at the entrance of the alley.

"Sent to my house?" Lin Ji was confused, as if he was taking a math class on the street.

"It's from the post office, a letter and a magazine. The address is here. It says Chen Xiyang received it. Isn't it yours?" The boss doesn't know anything better than him, but he can guarantee that he didn't give it to the wrong person.

Lin Ji accepted it hesitantly, and the recipient on the envelope was indeed his brother who did not run away.

Chen Li and Lu Yan also happened to be at home, seeing Lin Ji enter the door with magazines and questions, they also started guessing.

Lu Yan: "What's the matter? Your brother bought a magazine and sent it back. There's no need to make a fuss."

"But you can buy magazines everywhere, so why send them by mail? And your family also delivers mail when you buy magazines?" Chen Li disagreed, "It's probably some kind of activity of their club."

Lu Yan tutted her head and shook her head: "If everything has something to do with their association, their association would have been a cult that the police want to crack down on. We'll know if we tear up the letter and read it?"

Lin Ji whispered: "This is a letter for my brother, let's tear it open and read it..."

Lu Yan was at a loss for words, and Chen Li was more aware of this aspect: "Yes, it's not a big deal anyway, let's talk about it at home when your brother comes back."

Just when this matter was about to come to an end, Lin Ji suddenly had an idea, flipped through the contents of the magazine, found a pen name of "Xingyang", and turned to the corresponding page, it was the story of the guard .

Now Lin Ji understood, Lu Yan wanted to jump three feet high when she saw this child for the first time: "My brother's article has been published! This is a sample sent by the magazine!"

The old couple looked at each other blankly, but they didn't react.

Lin Ji squeezed the envelope, his tone became more confident, and the smile on his face became brighter: "It must be! The envelope is very thick, and there must be my brother's manuscript fee inside! His article has been published! I read this article! "

The belated joy was even heavier, Chen Li took the magazine with great interest: "Really, you have read this, are you sure it was written by your brother?"

"It must be!" Because of being too happy, Lin Ji's face was a little flushed.

It was the first time for Chen Li to experience such a happy event, and he wanted to read the story carefully, but his messy heart did not allow him to be so elegant, and he clapped his hands with a smile on his face, overjoyed: "Okay, okay, my son is Literary people!"

The smile on Lu Yan's face also came from the bottom of her heart, and she snatched the brand-new magazine and stroked it lightly: "That's right, you are a happy father, it's a good thing our child has ambition!"

Because of a published story, the whole family is full of joy. No one cares how much Chen Xiyang earns for the manuscript, but this kind of achievement is worthy of concern. His pride is like watching his child get a double percentile Like a parent, no matter what the value is, just have fun.

After walking back and forth in the crappy room for a long time, Chen Li, who finally calmed down, sat on the chair and carefully opened the magazine again, for fear of getting it crumpled. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was. Lu Yan also laughed beside him. From ear to ear: "Go buy a roast chicken on the weekend, don't just praise your son."

"Is one roast chicken enough?" Chen Li snorted, apparently not intending to treat his child badly.

After Lin Ji heard this sentence, the corners of Lin Ji's mouth curved deeper, as if laughing into his heart all of a sudden.

Chen Xiyang, who learned all kinds of poisons from his close friends at school, has not yet realized that he has become a literary hero in the hearts of his parents, but the volume of the bookshelves in their dormitory is indeed shrinking day by day, and there is still a bit of a book smell in the smog.

It was completely dark outside the window during the last class on Friday, and the strong wind kept urging the lecturer to speak faster. When Chen Xiyang packed his backpack and walked out of the campus, there were flying snow seeds under the pale streetlights.

Unsurprisingly, Xu Donghai started acting like a demon again: "In this weather, I suddenly want to taste hot wine."

Young people are always happy when they encounter the first snow of the year, but Chen Xiyang is like an exception, never talking to his friends, especially when he notices the crowd rushing towards him against the congested crowd Behind the figure, he was even more occupied with all his thoughts.

It was the first time Chen Xiyang looked at Lin Ji from such a perspective, and found that he was not short, and he stood out among a group of college students.

And the other party obviously found him in the crowd at a glance, and was passing through the crowds of people in the snowstorm, wanting to come to him.

Seeing Lin Ji's smiling face and waving arms, outsiders would never guess how precious the brothers' daily relationship is.

The moment Chen Xiyang saw the magazine in Lin Ji's hand, Chen Xiyang understood what had happened, but the reason why the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly was because of the magazine or a person.
