Brothers second and third

Chapter 24

I am very busy with work, and my unit will always give short notice to work overtime, and sometimes I will work overtime until late at night. After returning home several times at night, my second child fell asleep while sitting on the sofa watching TV.The work pressure was high, and my uncle and aunt called to urge me to take my partner home to show them. I suffered from insomnia for a few days, and then the headache started to attack again.The second child lay on the bed and massaged my head.

"Why don't you quit your job and get another one, this one is too tiring now."

I shook my head: "It's hard to find a job. It's a pity that I quit. Besides, the manager is very optimistic about me now."

The second child: "It's up to you. If you go like this again, you might as well resign early."

Later, I also carefully considered what my second child said, and it is true that the current job may not be suitable for me. Although the salary is good, working overtime all day makes it difficult for my body to cope.In the end, I persisted until October and I chose to resign.After resting at home for a few days during the [-]th holiday, my complexion improved a lot, and the bloodshot eyes were less.The second child said that I looked like I was alive.After resigning, I tidy up the house every day, look for a job, and pick up my second child after get off work, living a simple and comfortable life.

When my uncle and aunt heard that I had resigned, they called me specifically, hoping that I could go home and work there.My uncle and aunt said that they are old, healthy and have no diseases, but sometimes they miss me a little.I hung up the phone, feeling very sad.I love my uncle and aunt, and I also love my second child, but it seems that these two loves are fighting in my head.If you come out to your family, will they accept it?I thought about it a lot in those few days. Seeing that I was silent, my second child thought it was because my job search was not going well. He said, "Don't worry, find a job slowly. I will support you so you won't starve to death."

Looking at the smiling face of my second child, it's hard to imagine how I would live without my second child. My thoughts are very messy. I lie on the sofa and watch TV with my second child, touching his thick palms, calm and down-to-earth.I remembered that when I first arrived at my uncle’s and aunt’s house, my little heart was very disturbed, and I always felt that this place did not belong to me. At that time, before going to bed every day, my aunt held my hand and coaxed me to sleep. Rough but also very warm, let me sleep with peace of mind.I suddenly wanted to go home to see my uncle and aunt. I haven’t been home for a year. Are they in good health?

Having breakfast the next day, I said to my second child, "I want to go home and have a look these days."

The second child lowered his head and ate his meal: "Yes."

After a moment of silence, the second child asked, "How long will you stay?"

"No plan, let's talk about it when we go back!"

The second child asked me: "I entrusted my colleague to help you find a job. There is an important person in his friend's company. Do you want to go and have a look?"

I said, "I'll talk about it when I get back."

The second child pawed and ate the rice in the bowl: "Then...then I'm going to work, tell me before you leave."

This morning I packed my luggage, cleaned the room, bought a refrigerator full of food for my second child, stood at the door to see the fruits of my labor, and finally went home with peace of mind.Carrying the suitcase to the station, I called my second child on the way, and he said, "I'll call you right away." After a while, the second child's call came: "I was in the office just now. You can leave now." ah?"

"Yes, first go to the train station to buy a ticket, and then go straight away after buying it."

The second child said, "Do you want me to see you off?"

"No, you go to work hard, and I didn't bring much."

The second child was silent for a while: "Will you come back?"

This kid, what are you thinking!I smiled: "Of course! Why don't you come back?"

The second child laughed: "It's nothing, I just think I miss you a little bit."

"I haven't left yet!"

After a moment of silence, the second child said: "Then you go, pay attention to safety on the road."

"Okay, I bought something to eat in the refrigerator, and I will cook when I go home tonight. Then I hung up the phone?"

Second child: "Well, wait a minute! Well... that... I love you."

This guy, who usually talks about fucking, fucking, and F**K, suddenly said I love you, which is too different.

I smiled and said, "Got it baby, go back to work, I'm at the station."

Hang up the phone, get out of the sweetness, and go to the ticket hall to line up.Although this is not the peak travel season, the lobby is still overcrowded, and the long queue finally bought a ticket to go home.In the waiting hall, I told my uncle and aunt that they were going home, and they laughed happily.

Tired all the way, familiar path, familiar dry well, familiar house.My aunt waited at the door early, watching me dragging my suitcase, she walked towards me tremblingly, and I found that her legs and feet seemed to be getting worse.My aunt smiled and grabbed my arm: "The baby is finally back, this time I will stay for a few more days, huh?"

I looked at the wrinkles on her face: "Hey, okay!"

When I got home, my uncle was tidying up the yard. Seeing that I was home, he put down his work with a smile and patted my shoulder: "Are you tired from the journey? Go back to the house and have a rest."

When I entered the room, I saw my little nephew sleeping on the bed. He was chubby and had grown a lot.I patted the little guy's face lightly, and said to my aunt: "The little guy grows so fast!"

The aunt smiled and said: "Yes, the child grows up immediately after watching it. You were thin and small when you were young, and you climbed up and down all day. Now you are such a strong young man. Come to think of it, so A few years have passed, just like yesterday."

The uncle urged her: "You have been nagging the baby as soon as you come back, go and cook something for me."

I hurriedly pulled my aunt: "Don't, I'm really not hungry. I'll have dinner with my elder brother and sister-in-law when they come back tonight."

My uncle then asked me: "Why don't you bring the object home this time?"

The last time I came home from illness, my aunt asked me if I had a date, and I told her yes, so they kept urging me to bring a date home. Sometimes I thought about it, if I really brought my second child home, they... Hey!Forget it, just think about it.I replied to my uncle: "No, he is busy with work."

Uncle said: "How much progress you have made! Don't let others suffer, you have to support the family in the future!"

I smiled and said, "Yes, yes."

The aunt sighed: "You, you are finally promising! Your uncle and I are also worthy of your grandfather and your father, and of course your mother, don't hate her, she also had her difficulties back then. But, it's all in the past Already! Our Shan family can finally raise its head!"

The uncle murmured to the aunt: "Why talk about this carefully, don't talk about it."

The aunt also murmured to the uncle: "The baby wants to say a few words to him when he comes back, and you won't let me say this or that!"

Uncle looked at me and smiled awkwardly.

In the evening, after my eldest brother and sister-in-law came home, my sister-in-law was tired all day and was busy cooking. I went to the kitchen to help her, and she pushed me out: "Sister-in-law doesn't need your help, go and chat with your brother!"

Our family sat in the yard and chatted, and our little nephew was in his brother's arms, and there were always endless questions.The little guy has a tiger head and a tiger brain, and is very cute.I said, "Come here, I'll hug you to see if you're serious."

The little guy threw himself into my arms with a smile and let me hug him, and carried the little nephew on his shoulders. The little guy happily grabbed my ears and rode like a horse.I cooperated with him to run laps in the yard. In the end, I was so tired that I was out of breath. The little guy still couldn't come down. My brother pretended to be angry: "Come down! I'm exhausting uncle!"

The little nephew immediately became obedient and hid in his aunt's arms.I smiled and said to my brother: "You scared the little guy!"

My brother said: "I'm afraid of me for a while, and I will be naughty again later."

I sat down and looked at my little nephew and thought, if I get married normally, I will have my own children too!My aunt seemed to see through my thoughts, she smiled and said: "You also hurry up and get married! Have a baby of your own!"

I smiled and didn't speak.

The sister-in-law was busy, cleaning up the dishes on the table.Another reunion dinner, looking at the family, is really kind.As soon as he sat down at the table, the little nephew said, "Shall we call Second Grandma over for dinner?"

Second grandma?I looked at the little guy suspiciously, and then looked at my uncle and aunt. Their faces were a little unnatural. My sister-in-law paused and said hurriedly: "Yes! Yes! We should call to have dinner together. Isn't Depeng all back!" My sister-in-law gave my brother a wink, and my brother immediately said, "Ah...I'll go, I'll go..."

I smiled and asked my aunt, "Which second grandma?"

The aunt sighed: "I wanted to tell you tomorrow, so that you can go home and rest first."

I'm still confused: "What?"

The aunt sighed: "De Peng, your mother just came back a few days ago."

"what?"

I stood up suddenly, thinking I had heard wrong.I smiled stiffly: "Who are you talking about?"

My sister-in-law pulled my arm: "Don't worry, sit down and talk."

I sat down on the stool and my mind went blank.She has long been blurred in my memory, only her hands are left, with thick fingers but very white.I sat there, I didn't know where to put my hands, I picked up the cup, but I didn't want to drink water, I stood up and looked at the gate of the yard, but I didn't know what to expect.My uncle and aunt looked at me, and then heaved a long sigh.I don't know how I feel. To be honest, I hated her when I was young, hated that she didn't want me, and when I grew up, I still miss her at night. After thinking about her for a few years, I gradually forgot.Now that I suddenly mention it, the things that have been accumulated in my heart for many, many years seem to be lifted up all of a sudden, and my chest feels cold.After waiting for a long time, my brother came in with a woman. Her hair was gray, her clothes were dirty, and her fingers were dry and thin.When I looked at her, it felt completely strange.I stood there without moving.My sister-in-law stood up and took my arm: "De Peng, she... is your mother."

I seemed to think I smiled, and only a few words came out of my throat: "You...here."

She barely looked up, I couldn't see her face, she nodded and sat down.After a meal, everyone was silent.The sister-in-law brought her vegetables, and she ate them all.When her aunt talked to her, she occasionally responded, but she still lowered her head.

After eating, she stood up and was about to go back. I said, "I'll take you back."

She didn't speak, and I followed her out of the small courtyard, towards the direction of our former home, which I have never been to since I was six years old.Under the moonlight, her hair was disheveled and her steps were a little unsteady. I followed her, not knowing what to expect in my heart, maybe I wanted to ask her how she has been these years?I don't know, these years are too long for me and her!When approaching the door of the house, she suddenly turned and stopped.She raised her head and looked at my face, just looking at it, I stood there at a loss, she stretched out her hand as if she wanted to touch my face, but she moved her hand or put it down, after a while, she said: "Go back, be a good person and live a good life, I... I'm sorry for you, child, I thought I'd never see you again, but now I see you, I'm very happy... I'm very happy, let's go...Go back... "

After she finished speaking, she walked home slowly, the moonlight stretched her shadow so long, I was stunned on the road, looking at the pale moonlight, a little warm but so lonely, she never looked back, walked into the dilapidated yard, Open the door and then close it, there is no light in the room, everything is illusory like a dream.
