Ant Paradise

About halfway through the run, Shi Le went to pour him a glass of water, "Drink some water? Brother, let's rest for a while." Shi Li panted, bent over, and put his hands on his knees, "You, take it here " Shi Le went out of his room in a jerk, walked over to his brother who was speechless and handed him water, Shi Li raised his head and drank most of it in one breath, took a few deep breaths before he recovered, seeing that Shi Le was about to Going back with the cup in hand, Shi Li called to him, "Just put it on the swing over here, don't go back, it's not good to stay in the room all the time, let's go for a walk together."

The two brothers walked around the yard slowly. They rarely talked together. Compared with Mrs. Tang's disdain and father's over-concern, Shili treated him very ordinary. , regarded him as a thorn in the side.They are two years apart, live on different floors, and are intentionally separated, but they can always talk.

"I don't think you ate much tonight, you only ate half a bowl of rice, so you should run less at night." Shi Le saw that his forehead was sweating, and a large piece was smeared on the back of his light gray short sleeves, and he was a little worried whether he was overdoing it. .Shi Li refused, "If you want to do it, you must not be lazy. Unless there are some special circumstances, you must complete the daily set amount on time." Convinced, Shi Le nodded, "But I see that you are very tired, and you don't eat the dishes you used to like very much now."

"I don't like many things." Shi Li looked ahead, the sky was already dark, and he could only rely on the lights at home to see the way ahead, "I don't like running, and I don't like playing the piano. Ah Le, I don't like many things. If you like it, you have to do it, and you can't think of a reason." He is very similar to his mother, who often chooses to hide his emotions, smiling on the surface, but actually enduring the pain.

Shi Le couldn't fully understand, so he nodded ignorantly, and heard Shi Li ask him, "Mom and I are going abroad, what do you want?" His slightly long hair was messed up, Shi Le wiped his face with his hands, "I don't want anything."

Shi Li glanced at him, and said, "There are a lot of novelties in foreign countries, such as food, play, and living things can be bought." Shi Le just refused more readily than when he asked last time, and he shook his head. Head, "I don't have anything in particular, I have everything, and I don't lack anything." After speaking, he turned and ran away, "Brother, run quickly, the news broadcast is almost over."

Not only Shi Li's mother and son, but he is also like this, he pretends to hold his arms full when his hands are empty.

Seeing his hurried back, Shi Li started to run again. He really watched the whole thing that night. Shi Le just took something he didn't want. He had already forgotten about these ants, his mother It's just for him, no one is wrong.He didn't have the ability to comfort his mother, so he had to find a way to comfort Shi Le, but he was not good at speaking, even in front of close relatives, it was even more embarrassing.Who would have thought that he had just graduated from elementary school, and he didn't know how to turn around such a complicated problem.

After thinking about it over and over for a while, Shi Le leaned out from his window and shouted, "The news broadcast is over!" Then Shi Li stopped slowly, took two steps, and walked home, wheezing. Shi Le suddenly shouted.

"I broke the record today, I ran [-] laps!"

"is it?"

In the night, he curled his mouth and smiled slightly.
