little uncle

Outside the window, the endless sound of cicadas and the heartbeat of "Putong" and "Putong" are connected together, the heat spreads from Zhou Hongyuan's back, and the sweat flows down his jawbone, down his neck, and drains his sweatshirt inside.

This cramped and damp bedroom seemed to shrink infinitely in the dark, and the air gradually thinned out as the second hand moved slowly. Zhou Hongyuan felt that he was about to suffocate.

Irritability, hotness, depression, fear, all kinds of inexplicable emotions mixed together, trampling on Zhou Hongyuan's frantically beating heart at this moment without any buffer.He didn't know what was wrong with him.

Zhou Hongyuan opened his mouth wide and took a few deep breaths, trying to gain a moment of tranquility, but it was in vain. The sound of cicadas outside the window became louder and louder, and then mixed with the "rustling" sound of wind blowing leaves, which disturbed Zhou Hongyuan even more.

Sweat continued to flow, as if he was about to be steamed dry, his undershirt and underpants were stuck to his body, which was what Zhou Hongyuan hated the most, the feeling of being wet.

After the summer vacation, Zhou Hongyuan couldn’t sleep well for several nights. He tried to count the goats all over the mountains and plains, and found that it was useless. Only then did he realize that the saying of counting goats comes from the homonym of “sheep” and “sleep”. Naturally, counting goats in Chinese is useless. However, Zhou Hongyuan is a A good student who knows how to draw inferences from one example, he started counting dumplings again, dumplings, sleep, sleep, dumplings, are all homophonic, maybe it will be done?But after counting for most of the night, he really couldn't think of any benefit from this method except that the more he counted, the more hungry he would become.Later, when Zhou Hongyuan told Cheng Yu about this, Cheng Yu laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up, and said, "You miss dumplings so much, tell me."

Zhou Hongyuan was completely helpless, unable to sleep and bored, not to mention that there were no smart phones in that era, let alone kindles and switches to kill time, the only thing Zhou Hongyuan could do was to stare at the ceiling and stay up until midnight, waiting for the cool breeze After the attack, he felt sleepy, but the good times didn't last long, this sleep was extremely short, and he woke up drenched in sweat before dawn.

Cheng Yu slept next to him. When he became conscious in the first half of the night, he would gently pat his stomach and tell him to go to bed early. Cheng Yu's gentle and magnetic voice made him calm for a while. However, after twelve o'clock, Cheng Yu After Yu gradually fell asleep, she would move out unconsciously.This unconscious move may be because he dislikes the heat on Zhou Hongyuan's body, or maybe he feels that Da Xia's two people are too sticky when they are close together.

As a result, Zhou Hongyuan became even more flustered, so one retreated and the other advanced. Every morning when Cheng Yu got up, he almost fell to the floor.

On Friday night, Cheng Yu talked with Zhou Hongyuan about the latest release of "Mission: Impossible 3" in the cinema. The uncle and nephew were very enthusiastic, and immediately agreed to go to the cinema to see it together on Saturday.

Zhou Hongyuan had never seen a movie in a cinema before.When he was in Zhouzhen, his life was sloppy and poor, and no one cared about him. All the entertainment on weekdays was only a 14-inch color TV, only CCTV children's channel and CCTV agricultural channel, only jigsaw puzzles and Ju Ping Dong Hao. The childish children's program soon lost Zhou Hongyuan's favor, and this color TV, which had obviously exceeded its useful life, also announced the end of its life amidst a snowflake image and sharp busy tone, and became a complete home decoration.However, back then, Zhou Hongyuan had no idea about movies, and he didn’t know what to envy or not. After all, the children around him grew up in the streets and alleys. I have never seen a movie, only a girl whose parents are workers, once watched a "Spider-Man 2" in the county. The scene was enough for the girl to show off for a long time.

Later, Zhou Hongyuan followed Cheng Yu to the provincial capital. J City has high-rise buildings with reinforced iron frames, crowded crowds and densely packed vehicles, countless red lights and endless wine and green, people wear fashionable clothes, and have exquisite hairstyles. Everyone is beautiful. So high above, everyone is like the darling of fate.This made the child growing out of the mud lose his mind. He was terrified and nervous, for fear of becoming a laughing stock in others' mouths, so he was always cautious and careful, and did not dare to relax for a moment.

Although most of the children in Fourteenth Middle School are children of workers, they are also children of workers in big cities, and everyone has seen the world.Girls have virtuous and skillful mothers who comb their hair in unique and meticulous braids; boys have strong and reliable fathers who teach them how to play ball and take them long-distance running.They have a lot of stories to share, some are just journals, some are deliberately showing off, and these daily boring and trivial things are happiness that Zhou Hongyuan never had.

However, this is nothing to envy, he already has Cheng Yu, and his miserable life finally makes up for it.If all the hardships and sins he had suffered in the past were for meeting Cheng Yu, then he felt that it was worth it to be together.

Of course Zhou Hongyuan had never seen a movie.It's not that Cheng Yu is deliberately saving two movie tickets, but that Cheng Yu is used to living a hard life, and he only knows how to bury his head in his studies, so he has no habit of spending money for entertainment, and naturally he has no intention of going to the cinema.Cheng Yu is a very peaceful person, he seldom compares with others, so he can't understand Zhou Hongyuan's pettiness.

Therefore, when Zhou Hongyuan heard this proposal from Cheng Yu, he was very excited, but on the surface he pretended to be sensible, "Don't go, the movie ticket costs more than 20 yuan a piece."

Cheng Yu was really moved, touched Zhou Hongyuan's head, and smiled nicely, "It's okay, uncle is not short of this little money."

Cheng Yu didn't talk too much, the salary in the bank was quite high, and now he has already paid off the mortgage, and his material desire is very low, except for normal food, clothing, housing and transportation, he hardly has any big expenses on weekdays, so half of the salary is saved. Saved it and put it in a savings account.

After hearing Cheng Yu's words, Zhou Hongyuan felt relieved and went to bed happily.

Not surprisingly, Zhou Hongyuan suffered from insomnia again. His irritability started to ignite from the moment he lay down on the bed, and it intensified after Cheng Yu lay next to him. He felt that his whole body was emitting heat, even in the darkness, There were wisps of white smoke.

He pressed his heart hard, praying for it to beat slower, but he couldn't find the way.

Cheng Yu frowned, and asked in the dark, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet? Is it too hot? Or let's install an air conditioner at home."

Zhou Hongyuan held his breath the moment he heard Cheng Yu's voice, and he returned to normal after a while. He didn't answer, but silently rubbed against Cheng Yu's side.

Cheng Yu smiled, stretched out his callused hand to pat Zhou Hongyuan's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it too hot?"

Zhou Hongyuan nodded, then shook his head again.Of course he dislikes the heat, not only because of the hot weather and the stuffy room, but also because he himself is like a hot stove, steaming outside, but he is obviously so hot and annoying, yet he wants to get closer to Cheng Yu , Going a little further, it seems that Cheng Yu's body temperature of 37 degrees is like a piece of ice to him, and if he gets close and hugs him, he can relieve the fire.

Zhou Hongyuan's head was tilted on Cheng Yu's shoulder, and a layer of sweat broke out from the skin where the two met, but it was drenched after a while. It is reasonable to say that this should be Zhou Hongyuan's most annoying feeling, but he feels very satisfied , it seems that only in this way can I feel a little more at ease.Leaning on Cheng Yu's shoulder, listening to Cheng Yu's soothing breathing, he soon fell asleep and fell into a deep sleep.

He was in a warm room with a soft woolen carpet on the floor. The light in the room was very dark and warm yellow. A large bed was placed in the center of the room, and his uncle was lying on the bed, rushing he smiles.

He was very happy in his heart, the surrounding area was soft, the light was not bright or dark, and the only relative in the world who loved him happened to be lying there.

Zhou Hongyuan's feet became uncontrollable, and he walked step by step... as if walking toward the coolness he longed for, toward the long-awaited redemption and liberation.

The God of Creation was sympathetic to the world, but he closed his eyes alone in front of Zhou Hongyuan.

The moonlight is like washing, changing the oriental white.

There was a familiar voice in his mind, as if it came from a distance, fluttering, only a few strands drifted into his ears, and then, the voice continued to expand, with infinite impatience, pulling him back from the dream Reality.

He widened his eyes and stared at the man in front of him. After half a minute, he pulled away from the illusion. He frowned subconsciously and said nothing.Seeing that he was silent, Cheng Yu couldn't help being a little impatient, "Hongyuan, get up soon, let's go to the movies after breakfast."

Zhou Hongyuan curled up and buried his head deeply in Xia Liang's quilt.At this moment, he seemed to have returned to those childhood days that would never be repaid. He was afraid that all of this would be exposed to Cheng Yu's eyes, so he could only hide in a corner helplessly.

Seeing that he didn't move, Cheng Yu couldn't help being a little annoyed, so he sat on the side of the bed again and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Hongyuan's face was flushed red and he couldn't say anything.

Cheng Yu seemed to have realized something, glanced over, and then burst into a "puchi" laugh, stood up and turned his back to Zhou Hongyuan, and said, "Hongyuan has grown up." As he spoke, he stroked his hair, "Hey, it's all normal. It's nothing. You change, change your underwear, get up and eat."

After speaking, Cheng Yu walked out of the bedroom and closed the door behind him.

Zhou Hongyuan was paralyzed on the bed, unable to move for a long time.Why is it nothing, the person I dreamed about was clearly you...

The God of Creation was sympathetic to the world, but he closed his eyes alone in front of Zhou Hongyuan.

The sound of cicadas was disturbing, the summer was scorching, and the sun was clearly just right, but at this moment, Zhou Hongyuan seemed to have fallen into the cold winter.Helpless and hesitant emotions came to my heart, and painful entanglements were entangled in my mind, circle after circle.He bit his lips tightly, chewing on this too heavy feeling.

Sometimes, Zhou Hongyuan would think that in his only ten years of life, he had never been lucky, and his greatest luck was his little uncle.Zhou Hongyuan originally thought that he could live his whole life in peace, that he could accompany Cheng Yu for the rest of his life as a nephew.At this time, Cheng Yu took care of him, and in the future, he would take care of Cheng Yu.Plain and simple.But his world is obviously a joke, every time he thinks he has happiness, happiness will be broken by his own hands by accident.All of this is too absurd and difficult to talk about. Without someone to share this heaviness, he is left with only himself.
