Mint-Stained Shirt
Chapter 41
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Lanyue came back together.He is now as tall as his father, and when Xiao Lanyue said that he was leaving with him, he was not happy, saying that he didn't need to see him off.
"You kid." Mom rubbed his hair and explained for Xiao Lanyue: "Father is going back to the team soon, and he planned to leave in two days, who cares to see you off?"
Xiao Yuan said with confidence, then you still call me a child?
The atmosphere in their family has always been very harmonious, and there is not so much barrier between parents and children.Sometimes he couldn't understand why Mingshu had such a hard life with the same family background.After much deliberation, I can only explain it with scriptures that are difficult to recite in every family.
When returning home, the car passed by the yard of Ming's house, Xiao Yu'an looked at the window on the second floor of Ming's house.He passed by this location countless times, and often saw Mingshu lying on the window and waving to him as brother.
When Mingshu was 5 and 6 years old, he was worried that Mingshu would fall from the window, so he was not allowed to lie on the window.Later, when Mingshu grew up, he didn't care about it.
Mingshu has a sense of propriety, at least he can be responsible for his own safety, which he, as an older brother, understands.
Now that the windows on the second floor are closed, Mingshu probably hasn't come back yet.
"Are you worried about Xiaoshu?" Xiao Lanyue held two parent-teacher meetings for Mingshu, not to mention love, at least a little bit of concern, "Ming Haofeng is very similar to Mr. Ming, and he doesn't care much about you children. Be patient. But Xiaoshu is his child after all, so he won't do anything to Xiaoshu."
The car had already parked in front of Xiao's house, Xiao Yu'an took his luggage and got out of the car, "Their bad behavior has already caused Mingshu harm."
Xiao Lanyue was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "But they are Xiaoshu's family after all, no matter how much you and I care about, they are also outsiders. Do you understand?"
Xiao Yuan frowned, wanted to say something, but swallowed it.
Blood relationship is a very important bond, blood relationship is connected with family affection, and family affection is selfless.Mingshu has been living with him these years, and the four of them are Mingshu's older brothers and sisters, but they are actually not qualified to be responsible for Mingshu's life.
Mingshu's surname is Ming, and he is the blood of the Ming family.When the parent meeting was held for Mingshu back then, Xiao Lanyue said that we crossed a line.
It's just that the situation at that time really required an adult to meet Mingshu's head teacher.
The fact of blood relationship made Xiao Yu'an a little hard to accept.
If you are connected by blood, relatives can do anything to an immature child in the name of love. If you don’t accept it, then you are ignorant and not filial.
If family affection is so selfless, then the word selfless is not a good word.
On the other hand, if there is no blood relationship, no matter how close you are, and how much you really consider each other, before doing something, you have to look forward and backward, and think over and over whether it can be done.
Xiao Yuan didn't think of so much when he was in elementary school and junior high school, and Xiao Yu'an only understood his father's concerns in the past two years.
Xiao Jincheng went somewhere wild, Xiao Muting came down from upstairs, and flirted with Xiao Yu'an.
Xiao Yu'an immediately saw that something was wrong, and followed him out of the yard.
On the evening of the Spring Festival this year, the temperature is rising day by day, and green shoots have emerged on the bare trunks. When the wind blows, they sway with the branches.
But with a cloud of lead in the sky, it's hard to feel the joy of spring coming.
"Mingshu is back." Xiao Muting pointed his chin in the direction of Ming's house, "There was a commotion last night, I couldn't hear clearly, today there is no sound."
Xiao Yu'an asked in a deep voice, "When did you come back?"
Because Mingshu suffered from heatstroke when he was a child, he always liked to open the window when he was at home, so he saw the window was closed just now, so he judged that Mingshu hadn't come back.
"Just yesterday evening." Xiao Muting said, "Ming Haofeng brought it back, but Wen Yue didn't see it. Hearing the movement, Mingshu might have been beaten."
Xiao Yuan's face became ugly.
"The funeral is supposed to mean that you won't come back so soon, right?" Xiao Muting patted him on the shoulder, "Fortunately, you're back, so go to their house to see what's going on. Xiao Jincheng wanted to go, but I stopped him. He was busy. If you don’t do well, you will always get into trouble.”
To leave junior high school, Xiao Yu'an went straight there, but now he needed to think more, went home and packed his luggage, found out the special products he brought back, and then walked quickly towards Ming's house.
Ming Haofeng was in the yard, and frowned when he saw Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yu'an didn't meet him many times, so he had a very stereotyped impression of him - frowning forever.
"Uncle Ming." Even though he doesn't like this family, Xiao Yu'an never lacks the courtesy he deserves, "You guys are back? I brought this from the seaside. The soup is delicious."
Ming Haofeng looked at Xiao Yu'an briefly, and pulled the corner of his lips stiffly, "Thank you, come in and sit down."
Xiao Yuan followed into the living room.
The living room was dimly lit, and Ming Han was listening to the play with his eyes closed.Xiao Yu'an unconsciously glanced in the direction of the stairs.
Normally, Mingshu would have rushed down long ago, but now the stairs are quiet, especially quiet in the tune of the opera.
"Mingshu isn't at home?" Xiao Yuan suppressed the fire in his heart and asked in a calm tone that didn't match his age.
"Upstairs." After Ming Haofeng said these three words, his eyes met Xiao Yuan's.
This is more like a silent confrontation.
After a while, Ming Haofeng added: "Think about your mistakes behind closed doors."
Xiao Yu'an's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his eyelids cast dark shadows on his pupils.And just as he was thinking about how to express his doubts reasonably, Ming Haofeng spoke again, "From now on, if it is not necessary, you and your brother should not come in contact with Mingshu. I know you have a good relationship, and Mingshu always goes to your house Run. But he is still young and ignorant, you can't be as ignorant as him, right?"
The opera has reached a peak, and the female voice is shrill.Ming Han still had his eyes closed, but his hands were moving along with the tune, looking fascinated by it.
Xiao Yuan looked directly at Ming Haofeng, "Can I ask what Mingshu did? Mingshu often comes to me, but I don't think I set a bad example for him."
Ming Haofeng originally thought that those words just now would make the young man in front of him leave. This is the Ming family, and what happened here is the Ming family's housework, so no one else would be able to intervene.
But Xiao Yuan was not only ignorant, but also asked him what Mingshu had done.
I have rarely been contradicted, even if it is a tactful question.Ming Haofeng frowned even tighter, "Mingshu is young, if he sees any inappropriate behavior, he should learn it as a good one, he has no ability to distinguish. You..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but argue no matter how calm he was, "He's in the fifth grade, and he has the ability to distinguish."
Not only was he questioned, but also interrupted, Ming Haofeng's face became even more ugly, "When the elders are talking, interrupt at will, this is what you set an example for him? No wonder he has no respect for the elders, has no affection for his family, and does something that hurts him. Mother's business!"
Xiao Yu'an was slightly taken aback.Mingshu hurt Wen Yue?This is impossible, he taught Mingshu to fight, and he also taught Mingshu not to bully the weak and know how to measure. Mingshu has fought so many times at school, each time there is a reason, and each time he did not lose his sense of proportion.
He didn't believe that Mingshu would hurt Wen Yue for no reason, and he didn't even believe that Mingshu hurt Wen Yue.
"Impossible." Before his mind gave a perfect answer, Xiao Yu'an had already said: "If he really did something wrong, it must be because you left him no other choice."
Ming Haofeng sneered, "Why do you draw such a conclusion?"
"Because he grew up with me, and I understand him." A voice in my heart said, out of control, stop, now is not the time for verbal disputes.
The tendon in Ming Haofeng's neck twitched, "You know him well, so his weird temper now is also yours, your Xiao family is used to it!"
Xiao Yuan held back, "Can I see him? Maybe there is some misunderstanding between you. No matter what, you shouldn't lock him up."
"I don't want to be taught by a brat!" Ming Haofeng shouted: "For Xiao Lanyue's sake, I won't argue with you today. From now on, don't come to Mingshu, my son of Ming Haofeng, don't Your Xiao family will discipline you!"
At this time, the sound of knocking on the door came from the second floor, one after another, very muffled and heavy.
"Brother!" Mingshu's voice was hoarse, but he didn't cry at all, "Brother! Brother!"
Suddenly, the opera's voice became louder. Ming Han held the remote control and turned the volume almost to the top.
Xiao Yu'an's first reaction was to rush upstairs, but was stopped by Ming Haofeng.
Although he was already tall, his muscles were not as good as those of an adult, and this was still a Ming family. His cultivation kept him in place, and the knuckles of his clenched fists were turning white.
"Go back." Ming Han suddenly said: "Mingshu has caused you trouble these past few years. How he grows up and what kind of person he grows into is his father's concern."
"elder brother--"
Shouts came from upstairs without stopping, but Ming Haofeng stood in front of him like an insurmountable mountain.
Xiao Yu'an hesitated rarely, he didn't lack the guts to rush forward, but he had to consider whether doing so was really good for Mingshu.
The most important thing is that Mingshu calls him brother, but he is not Mingshu's real brother.He is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks on Ming Haofeng's actions at this time, either legally or morally.
Calm down, calm down.
Sweat soaked his underwear, after all he didn't let his temper run wild, and Mingshu was still calling him when he turned to leave.This made him feel confused for the first time about reason and what he should do or not.
"Fortunately, you didn't rush forward." Xiao Lanyue said: "The Ming family has a big problem in educating children, but this is not a reason for outsiders to intervene casually."
Xiao Yu'an didn't even change his clothes after he came back. He has always been an organized person. In the past, every time he came back from his grandfather's house, he would pack up his luggage as soon as possible and sort the gifts he brought back. Mess up.
But this time, he didn't care about throwing the suitcase casually.
"They locked Mingshu up and said that Shu hurt Wen Yue." He was very sure, "This is impossible."
"Maybe Mingshu made a mistake in Wen's house, and you think too much about it behind closed doors." Xiao Lanyue said: "Ming Haofeng will not abuse Mingshu."
Xiao Yuan pursed her lips.
Xiao Lanyue said again: "I know you are worried about Mingshu, but you should also understand that Mingshu is not Xiao Jincheng, and there is a natural barrier between you. When Mr. Minghao Fengming does not speak, you take Mingshu with you. This is no problem, now that they have an opinion, if you want to break through this barrier, it will be impossible to justify it emotionally and rationally."
Xiao Yu'an was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "I know that."
"Let's take a look first." Seeing that his son was depressed, Xiao Lanyue walked over and pinched the back of the man's neck, but was cut open by an arm as expected.
He was not annoyed, and said: "Didn't you always say that Hao Feng never cared about Mingshu? This time may be an opportunity for their relationship to change."
"You kid." Mom rubbed his hair and explained for Xiao Lanyue: "Father is going back to the team soon, and he planned to leave in two days, who cares to see you off?"
Xiao Yuan said with confidence, then you still call me a child?
