blowing clouds

The aroma of steamed fish wafted out from the kitchen. It must be delicious to serve it with chopped green onion, but no one moved a step.

Lu Yan opened her mouth, closed it tremblingly, raised her hand, and put it down helplessly. She wanted to reprimand Chen Xiyang for talking nonsense, but facing her son's extremely serious expression, she couldn't deceive herself.

But why?The whole family was obviously happy last second, why should they suddenly face such a terrible thing at this moment?

Chen Li stood obliquely behind Lu Yan with a gloomy face. He didn't know if he was afraid that she would faint because of it, or because he wanted to use her to cover up something: "What do you mean by that?"

Chen Xiyang took a deep breath, and from the corner of the eye he saw Lin Ji standing side by side with him: "That's what I meant."

"You...you are not married anymore, you want two brothers to live together?" Lu Yan was so angry that her lips trembled.

As a mother, Lu Yan was the person who was least willing to accept this scene, and even had to pick the least harsh words for accusations, because the reality was too heavy to support.

But since Chen Xiyang said it, he didn't want to see this matter become vague and end without a problem, so he directly prescribed strong medicine: "Mom, needless to say, it's so tactful, it's not that we live together, it's that we love each other deeply, we won't marry women, we won't marry separated from each other."

Lu Yan stared at her son with red eyes, staggered back a few steps, and fell into Chen Li's arms. Her strength and even flesh and blood were taken away from her whole body, and she could clearly feel the vibration that Chen Li produced on her body when he spoke.

"Chen Xiyang, how old are you this year? How dare you say such rebellious nonsense, are you a three-year-old? Don't you want to think about the consequences?!"

"It's not nonsense..." Before Chen Xiyang opened his mouth to argue, Lin Ji took a step forward and protected him behind him, "My brother and I are serious, we want to be together...Dad, don't be angry, please help us. "

Chen Xiyang saw it, and because of excitement, the muscles in the back of Lin Ji's neck were twitching, but this person still stood in front of him resolutely.

Lu Yan was devastated, obviously not able to fully digest this reality: "Are you two children crazy? You are still young and don't understand what love is all about. Can the friendship between brothers before be the same as the love between men and women? "

Her words did not cause any waves, because at this moment, whether it is self-deception or the so-called root cause, reasoning, and accountability, it is meaningless. What they want is to solve the problem. Either one party compromises, or the family collapses even more. .

Chen Li's face was dark, as if it was going to frost: "You two are not messing around, you have figured it out, right?"

Father didn't jump into a rage, but the low air pressure that was brewing a storm made Chen Xiyang even more uneasy, but even so he would not back down: "Yes, I thought about it very clearly. Dad, we didn't do it on a whim. I don’t know how long Ah Ji suffered from various problems, but I have been tortured for two full years before I made this choice. Dad, we have endured too much pain, and it was hard for us to be brave enough to face ourselves. As a family, I implore you to let us go."

In Chen Xiyang's fantasy, his father would probably smile wryly and pat him on the shoulder, like many times in the past, praising his child for his responsibility and courage to face himself, but the reality is that he is a little moved by himself.

The first thing that broke out was the crying of the mother. Lu Yan seemed to have realized what happened to her two children at this moment. She was no different from every middle-aged woman who was messing around. She collapsed on the sofa crying On the Internet, his mouth is full of complaints or unsavory words.

Some of her crying and her scolding were for the two children, some for God, and some for the head of the family, Chen Li, because he insisted on bringing Lin Ji back for adoption.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the shock and pain Chen Li suffered in his heart should be the most serious. He slightly hunched his back and stood in front of the dining table without saying a word. sharp contrast.This kind of look made Lin Ji shiver, painful, and ashamed, but he knew that falling in love with someone was not wrong, so he still didn't back down.

Realizing that the suppressed air flow was about to erupt, Chen Xiyang suddenly stepped forward and pushed Lin Ji away, and knelt down in front of his father.

He didn't explain what he was begging for, but Chen Li knew very well that this act of showing weakness contained his son's determination not to give in.

The old man's slap was raised suddenly, Chen Xiyang didn't intend to dodge, and even raised his face, but the hot pain didn't come as expected, instead he saw the muddy teardrops on his father's face.

"Chen Xiyang... What on earth do you want to do? You make your father live like a joke, do you know..."

Chen Li's high-raised slap finally came down and covered his eyes, and he sat down slumped on the ground, sobbing like a tattered bellows from his throat.

The man's suppressed cry was not loud, but it was extremely ear-piercing, like a stone in everyone's heart. Lu Yan also stopped her crying because of worry, and came over in a panic, trying to help Chen Li up: "He Dad, the children are not filial, no matter how angry you are, no one will care about them..."

Chen Xiyang's kneeling body subconsciously leaned forward, his eyes full of worry.

He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, but he was just wondering if he was being too selfish?But immediately, he forced himself to squeeze his guilt out of his chest. This was a struggle. For him and Lin Ji, this struggle in the family was inevitable.

Parents suffer because they love them, and because of this love, there will always be an end to this struggle.

Chen Li sat on the ground like a foolish child, his vicissitudes face was covered with tears.When Chen Xiyang was twelve or thirteen years old, he lived in prison. When the child needed love most, he was helpless as a father. He was busy with business and had no time to accompany the child in the past two years. Apart from money, he didn't know how to compensate Chen Xiyang. To this family, to Chen Xiyang, he felt ashamed in his heart, even if his son was rebellious, he really didn't have the face to slap him.

But he thinks he is not a bad person, even if he is sorry for the family, why would God punish him like this?It has become a luxury to entertain grandchildren and enjoy the family relationship to the fullest. The neighbors and neighbors will gossip and poke fingers one after another. Forget it. At worst, he will put on his old face and don't care, but what about those two children?Let them be blinded and old without a home?

Lin Ji approached without saying a word, and knelt beside Chen Xiyang without saying a word.

Chen Li felt as if the two of them were kneeling on his heart, making him breathless.

Lu Yan's fist was feebly hammered on Chen Xiyang: "You two... are you going to piss me off and your dad to death... Lin Ji, you are also a bastard! What can we husband and wife feel sorry for you? Why are you doing this! "

Before Lu Yan uttered even more unbearable insults, Chen Li finally pulled himself together. He held his wife's waving arm, and met Lin Ji's clear and resolute eyes with complex eyes.

Chen Li saw the pain and guilt in Lin Ji's eyes, but he also saw more stubbornness. Like his brother, he didn't think he was at fault.

Suddenly, Chen Li seemed to feel the mockery of fate. It was he who insisted on going his own way that caused the family to be broken for five years.But his feelings for Lin Ji are very complicated, and it seems that it is not resentment. Chen Li doesn't know the reason, is it because in his bones, he is a person who does not believe in fate and has the courage to fight?

Standing up tremblingly, Chen Li exhausted all his strength. His mind went blank, he didn't think about anything, and he didn't say anything. With his wife's support, he walked into the room, and then closed the door to isolate him temporarily. Problems that impact families.

Chen Xiyang knew that this was just the beginning of the struggle. Although this term was not very friendly, the future of him and Lin Ji had to be spelled out.

After kneeling for a while, the pain from his knees made Chen Xiyang break out in a cold sweat. Trembling, he stood up and helped Lin Ji up. The moment the two looked at each other, it seemed as if they had obtained infinite power from each other, without any words You can understand each other's perseverance.

"Were you scared just now?" Chen Xiyang lowered his voice and stroked Lin Ji's hair.

Lin Ji nodded, then shook his head again.

"I don't know whether the timing I picked is good or bad," Chen Xiyang said with a wry smile, "but there is no turning back when I start the bow, and I have made up my mind, the worst is that we will die in the end, and the issue of parents' pension will be left to Xu Donghai .”

Lin Ji knew it was just a joke, and of course he also knew that Chen Xiyang's purpose was to reassure him, so he hesitated for a moment and hugged Chen Xiyang in his arms: "I will stand with you unconditionally."

Love and warmth surged into Chen Xiyang's heart. He thought that if he was not afraid of making his parents angry, he would sleep with Lin Ji tonight.

But today is special after all. After shaking each other's hand vigorously, the two went back to their rooms.

This night was a sleepless night for the four people in the family. They would think about all kinds of things before dinner. Chen Xiyang felt fear and excitement in his heart, but he had no intention of quitting.He used to be very afraid of encountering this kind of situation, but fortunately he has chosen to be brave. No matter what is going on in the road ahead, he will be flattened and walk with Lin Ji.

Thousands of families are celebrating the National Day, but their family is trapped by emotional entanglements. Think about the same when Hong Kong returned to China. Others are celebrating the reunification of the motherland. Their family is an exception, welcoming the male master to be released from prison.

Chen Xiyang thought bitterly, their family would always confront the country, just like the reactionaries.

Just as he was thinking wildly, a burning smell entered the bedroom through the crack.

Chen Xiyang frowned hesitantly and stood up. After sniffing carefully, he suddenly got out of bed and rushed out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw green smoke wafting from the kitchen and covering the ceiling.

Everyone forgot that the pot in the kitchen was still steaming fish...

When Chen Xiyang turned off the liquefied gas stove and lifted the lid of the pot, he was almost suffocated by the pungent smell. The water in the pot had already dried up, the bottom of the pot was burnt black, and the fish on the plate turned into dried slag, but fortunately Nothing happened, Chen Xiyang turned on the exhaust fan and tidied up in a hurry.

At the very beginning of the struggle, one pot and one fish were lost. It seems that the price is quite high... Chen Xiyang thought with a wry smile.

There was some movement in the parents' bedroom, probably because they smelled it and wanted to come out to take a look, but in the end they chose to remain indifferent. Chen Xiyang, who returned to the bedroom, saw an additional text message on his phone, which was sent by Lin Ji.

Are you all right?

Chen Xiyang smiled and replied: I'm fine, fish is fine.

There was no movement from Lin Ji for a long time, maybe it was unexpected that Chen Xiyang was still joking and carefree, and it was a long time before he sent a worried message: Brother, I will not regret it, but will our parents be too sad if we are so tough? ?

Lin Ji tossed and turned in his room. After struggling for a long time, he still sent the message, but he regretted it the moment he sent it. His brother was fighting for love. He clearly agreed to stick to it together, but he was fragile for a while. Such a question was asked.

But Chen Xiyang obviously wouldn't blame him, Lin Ji's cell phone lit up soon, and Chen Xiyang's new news brought a smile to his face again.
