Difficult

Ye Zhen himself didn't study much. He didn't even finish high school, so he came out to work, but Xiao Ma was a little younger than himself at the time. What surprised him was that Xiao Ma would take the initiative to tell him about it. About studying, he thought Xiao Ma would be more willing to talk to Tang Jielin.

No matter how careless I am, I can still tell the difference between Xiaoma dropping out of school and myself dropping out of school. I really don't want to learn, I just want to go out and mix in society, and my elder brother can't control it anymore, so I let myself learn a technology.

But Xiao Ma is different. Xiao Ma's reaction is obviously that he doesn't want to drop out of school, and there is no way out in the brick factory, and it is just a manual job to do it to death.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go." These days here, Ye Zhen can also see that Xiao Ma's family is not very good, and there are many children in the family, so he asked again, "Your parents won't let you study?"

In fact, my parents didn't explicitly say that I wouldn't let me read it, and they said I could choose, but the invisible pressure made Xiao Ma have no choice. He couldn't be so selfish. If he continued to study, there would be another money-hungry person in the family. If he becomes a labor force, it is up to him to choose.

Ye Zhen glanced at the sandals on Xiao Ma's feet, and suddenly understood why Xiao Ma couldn't read, but Ye Zhen, who had never suffered money in childhood, couldn't fully empathize with him.

There are many people who cannot study, like him, because of their own reasons, like Xiao Ma, because of family reasons.

In terms of Ye Zhen's attitude towards life, if not being able to study is something that cannot be changed, then he should plan his way to the society.

He could see that Xiao Ma was very unhappy, and he restrained his speech a lot, "Then... there is nothing you can do if you can't read, but I don't think the brick factory is a long-term job. After this period of time, you should discuss it with your parents and learn the skills of being able to eat."

Now that the matter has come to this point, Ye Zhen can only comfort Xiao Ma, "Study is not the only way out, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

The two returned the same way, and just climbed onto the road, Tang Jielin and Ye Mian were already waiting for them beside the motorcycle.

After going to the bathroom, the pony disappeared. Tang Jielin followed Ye Mian to search around the construction site. In the end, a worker said that he saw Ye Zhen riding a bicycle with the pony away.

The call to Ye Zhen was also answered by Xiao Ma, who was unclear on the phone, saying that he was looking for some shoes.

Ye Mian hurriedly drove Tang Jielin down to look for someone, and saw Ye Zhen's motorcycle on the side of the road. After waiting for a while, he saw the two of them climbing up in embarrassment.

I didn't see anyone just now, and Ye Mian was afraid that something might happen to the two of them, so he didn't say anything on the phone. Seeing that Ye Zhen was safe and sound, he became depressed and became angry.

"What kind of shoes are you two going to pick up at the foot of the mountain? Do you want to die? Little Ma is not sensible, Ye Zhen, you are already an adult, are you still not sensible?"

Being scolded by his elder brother pointing his nose in front of Tang Jielin, Ye Zhen felt somewhat offended, and he didn't bother to explain to his elder brother, "Isn't it all right, I went back to the construction site, you can send them back."

After finishing speaking, he made a gesture and wanted to leave on the motorcycle, but Tang Jielin pulled him back with his arm tightened.

"Don't move." Tang Jielin yelled, Ye Zhen froze in place as if his acupuncture points had been tapped, "What's wrong with your arm?"

Ye Zhen raised his arm and took a look. His elbow was a little bruised. He thought it was probably scratched while hiding from a rock, and he didn't feel anything unless he was reminded.

"fine."

Ye Mian couldn't bear Ye Zhen's face that didn't take anything to heart, and he didn't even worry about his life, "What's the matter? You're lucky today. When you are buried below, let's see if you still say something." fine?"

Xiao Ma wanted to explain to Ye Zhen, but Ye Mian was very angry. He looked at Ye Zhen, and Ye Zhen signaled him not to speak, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

Tang Jielin saw the small actions of the two of them. He didn't expose it, but just took the words, "Go back and apply some medicine. It's hot now, and it's easy to get infected."

Ye Zhen didn't refuse, and followed his elder brother's car on a motorcycle.

After arriving home, Xiao Ma was a little worried about Ye Zhen and wanted to follow him upstairs, but Ye Zhen told him to do what he should do, so he could only watch helplessly.

I didn't let Xiao Ma come with me, mainly because I didn't want Xiao Ma to listen to him being scolded. Sure enough, as soon as I got to the room, the elder brother started talking endlessly again.

"I thought you've improved your morals a bit over the years you've been working. Look at yourself, and you still don't care about the consequences."

"You think you are still a child, is there any danger in your mind?"

Ye Zhen knew he was in the wrong, so it was rare that he didn't confront his elder brother. He sat aside and listened to his elder brother's chanting silently.

On the other hand, Tang Jielin couldn't listen anymore, and stopped Ye Mian, "Forget it, as long as you are fine, luckily I brought some medicine, just rub some on it."

Ye Zhen stared at Tang Jielin distractedly. He watched Tang Jielin squat beside the suitcase, and found a small bag from it. Inside a pile of messy clothes, there was something familiar.

His little electric fan?But didn't you throw it away?When did Tang Jielin pick it up?Why did you pick it up and hide it secretly?

Fearing that the two brothers would hurt their peace, Tang Jielin persuaded Ye Mian for a while, and Ye Mian stopped preaching. Seeing Ye Zhen who had been silent all this time, he urged: "Don't go to the construction site today, take a break, you too Just stop and let the whole thing out."

After Ye Mian left, Tang Jie went downstairs to fetch water. When he got to the kitchen, he saw the pony blocking Ye Mian at the door.

"Uncle Ye, it wasn't Ye Zhen who went down, it was me who went down, he didn't trust me, so he stayed with me, don't scold him."

Ye Mian was much more kind when facing the pony, "I know, Ye Zhen is too freewheeling, I don't want to take this opportunity to scold him a few more words, but uncle has to say something to you, how dangerous the mountain is, the two of you Neither should go down."

Xiao Ma nodded and watched Ye Mian leave guiltily.

Tang Jie stepped forward and patted the pony on the head, comforting him: "It's all right, let's go back quickly."

After seeing Xiao Ma off, Tang Jielin went upstairs with water. He first washed the wound with water, and then applied some iodine.

Seeing that Ye Zhen remained silent, Tang Jielin thought Ye Zhen was sulking with his elder brother, and asked softly, "I heard what Xiao Ma said just now, and he insisted on going down."

Although Ye Zhen was naive, he was very loyal, and he would never drag the pony into the water with him based on the principle of being scolded alone.

After waiting for a while, he still didn't get Ye Zhen's answer. He looked up, and Ye Zhen's eyes were indifferent, and his expression was a bit elusive.

As soon as he saw Ye Zhen winking at the pony, Tang Jielin guessed most of it. The children in the mountains have extreme tutoring. If they lose or damage things, they will be beaten when they go home.

"Your elder brother is also worried about you. Don't be angry with him. The two brothers have something to say." Tang Jielin couldn't change his habit of talking too much, and was afraid that Ye Zhen would think he was talkative and annoying. Change the subject, "You..."

Ye Zhen suddenly said, "When did you pick it up?"

"Huh?" Tang Jielin looked at Ye Zhen in a daze as the question was nonsensical.

"I threw that electric fan away, why did you pick it up again?"

Tang Jielin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the small electric fan was hidden in the suitcase. He lowered his head in embarrassment, "Xiao Ma found it, and brought it back to me."

"Don't you want it? Don't throw it away, can it be enough? What are you doing with it?"

Tang Jielin didn't like to hear it strange, he understood that what Ye Zhen was asking about was not just about the small TV.

In Ye Zhen's heart, what he doesn't want is not the small electric fan, but his heart, what he throws away is also his heart, what he puts away is also his heart.

And what about himself?

He couldn't completely ignore what Ye Zhen was thinking, "I didn't want it."

Ye Zhen yelled a little aggrieved: "You gave it back to me! And you said you don't want it?"

"The last time I saw that the battery was fully charged, I put it on your bed for you to use."

The room suddenly became quiet. At that time, I never thought of returning the small electric fan to Ye Zhen, but Ye Zhen misunderstood and threw the small electric fan away. After Xiao Ma picked it up and returned it to him, he had no choice but to put it away.

Ye Zhen was holding his breath at first, but when he heard Tang Jielin's explanation, he suddenly seemed like a deflated ball, without the aggressiveness he had at the beginning.

"Why did you pick it up?"

Tang Jielin silently cleaned up the water stains on the ground, Ye Zhen's question made him not know how to answer.

"Why?" Ye Zhen asked, he needs to know the answer now.

Tang Jielin didn't look up, and said softly: "You gave it to me, it's mine."

Ye Zhen gritted his teeth with hatred, he pulled Tang Jielin up from the ground, and pressed him to the corner of the small sofa.

What Xiao Ma said is right, why kiss if you don't fall in love, Ye Zhen is never a person who makes fun of feelings, he never plays hooligans in such things.

Then he also wanted to ask Tang Jielin, who kept saying that they shouldn't do this, shouldn't do that, and draw a clear line, why did they put away the things he threw away?If he was considered a hooligan, then Tang Jielin was not far behind!

"You know that's not what I'm asking!" Ye Zhen pressed Tang Jielin's forehead, forcing Tang Jielin to look into his eyes, "You shouldn't say what you said, why did you put it away?"

Tang Jielin couldn't answer, and he couldn't refute it. The reason why he couldn't answer was not because he didn't know the reason, but because he was very clear about his inner thoughts.

He refused to throw it away because he couldn't bear it. He hid it secretly because he was afraid that Ye Zhen would find out that he didn't want to. Now that Ye Zhen found out, if he explained it again, it would be a pale sophistry.

Ye Zhen was not afraid that Tang Jielin would not speak, he said in a low voice: "I said I'll think about it, I've thought it through now..."

Tang Jielin covered Ye Zhen's mouth to prevent him from continuing.

When the palm touched the soft lips, Tang Jielin's heart beat like a drum, and he begged in his heart, stop talking.
