My brother's friend is a bit of a drag

"Two eight two five six."

"Two eight two five seven, two eight two nine thirty one."

"Three eight three five six, three eight three five seven, three eight three nine 41..."

There were clear nursery rhymes and children playing and laughing in the dilapidated and noisy alley. It was four-year-old Su Mo holding his mother's big hand with one hand, and pointing at the little girls dancing rubber bands with the other.

"Mom, I want to play too."

Su Moli looked into his round eyes and smiled, "It's for girls."

After that, she led Su Mo into the canteen by the side of the road, "Xiao Qin, pack matches for me."

"Okay, Miss Su."

Su Moli looked at the candy box on the counter and asked, "Is this candy new? How did you sell it?"

"One penny and one piece, toffee, my son loves it very much, how much?"

"Okay, ten yuan."

Xiao Qin took the match and looked at the white and tender Su Mo, "Your little Mo looks really good-looking, look at those big black eyes, it's up to you. Where's your boss?"

"Don't mention the boss, he makes troubles everywhere every day." Su Moli said with a smile.

"The second child should be obedient." Xiao Qin took the candy and handed it to Su Mo, "Xiao Mo, take it."

"Thank you, Auntie." Su Moli rubbed his hair.

Su Mo bared his teeth and smiled, his face was white and tender, "Thank you, Auntie."

After leaving the canteen, Su Moli suddenly remembered that she forgot to buy refined salt, so she asked Su Mo to wait at the door, then turned around and went in again.

Su Mo raised his head, and the dark clouds covered the sun that was about to set in the west, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

He peeled off a piece of toffee and put it in his mouth. Turning around, he saw an old man in white playing chess at the entrance of the alley, but there was no one on the opposite side of him, only he was playing chess.

"Pa-ta", a chess piece fell to the ground, the old man didn't move at all, and continued to observe the chessboard.

Su Mo looked at it, walked over with his calves, picked up the chess piece, "Grandpa, your chess piece has fallen."

The old man turned to look at him. To Su Mo's surprise, the white-haired old man didn't look very old, and his eyes were piercing, with white eyelashes.

"Your name is Su Mo?" the old man asked with a smile.

Su Mo nodded, "How did Grandpa know?"

The old man smiled faintly, full of mystery, "Because we are destined."

He took out a piece of candy from his pocket. The candy was very beautifully packaged, and he stuffed it into Su Mo's hand, "Thank you for picking up the chess pieces for me. This candy is very expensive."

"Grandpa, I can't take it. My mother said that I can't accept other people's things at will."

The old man rubbed his head, "Good boy, this is thank you from grandpa. You can eat it or keep it. This is a very magical candy. Grandpa is gone."

He stood up and left. Just as Su Mo was about to speak, Su Moli over there had already called him. When Su Mo looked back at the old man, he had disappeared into the alley, leaving only gray mist behind.

Su Mo glanced at the candy, stuffed it into his pocket, and then ran to Su Moli, "Mom, an old man gave me a piece of candy just now. I don't want it, but he must give it to me."

"What kind of candy? Didn't I say that you are not allowed to randomly accept things from strangers? Throw them away quickly."

Su Mo blinked, and when he thought of the colorful candy skin, he felt like lying, "I...I already threw it away."

"Really?" Su Moli was already pretty, and when she raised her eyebrows, she was even more charming.

"Yes." Su Mo nodded heavily.

Children are curious. Four-year-old Su Mo really liked that candy, but lying made him blush all the way home, and he felt that he shouldn't lie.

Changyuan is a very small city in the north. In 1985, every street and every house in this city was very old, and some of them were courtyard houses where several families lived together.

Su Mo's house is in the factory compound, which is a community building. The building is very old, and the walls are messed up by children's drawings.Su Mo's house is on the third floor, with two bedrooms and one living room. Although the interior decoration is simple, it is full of warmth.

When Su Mo ran home, he hurried to his hut, hid the candy, then knelt down on the small bench, and lay down on the window sill to look outside.The sky outside the window was getting darker, and the sound of thunder could be faintly heard.

"I don't know what's wrong this summer, it's always raining." Su Moli was busy working outside the house, while muttering, "Look at your elder brother, he hasn't come back yet, and he doesn't know where he went."

After that, Su Mo saw his brother being dragged back by his father's arm.He was covered in dirt and held willow sticks in his hand. Because he was only six years old, his father grabbed him like a chicken.

"Mom, dad and brother are back."

Su Moli glanced out of the window, and frowned, "You little bastard, why don't you cause trouble if you say no."

After a while, the door opened, and Su Jin was pulled in. Su Wenge pushed him aside, "Look at this kid, when I saw him, he was fighting with someone, that guy, he was being ridden by someone." Beat me up below, if I don't stop and say I won't be beaten."

"I also punched that Han Dong several times! If my dad doesn't go, he will lose all his teeth." Su Jin refused to accept it, and patted the dirt on her clothes.

"You're justified in fighting." Su Moli went up and grabbed his ear, and Su Jin screamed in pain.

"Mom, mom, it hurts."

"Mom is useless!" Su Moli reprimanded, "If you are forced to go to school every day, you can't learn something well! Learn from your brother, who is two years younger than you, so sensible."

Seeing Su Mo pursing her lips and grinning by the door, Su Jin snorted, "Who will learn from him."

"If you don't learn from him, whoever you learn from, your younger brother can recite the multiplication formula, and you!" Su's father said.

"I will too." Su Jin got rid of his mother's hand and stood with her hands behind her back, with a solemn back, "One gets one, one gets two..."

Su Jin's memorization was pretty good, until [-] o'clock, he just opened his mouth, "[-], [-]..."

"I'll make you [-]!" Su's mother slapped his ass, and Su Jin ran towards the bedroom, yelling.

"The little girls downstairs memorize the movies like this every day, what's wrong with me."

He ran into the bedroom, pushed Su Mo back into the room, and locked the door. Mother Su yelled a few times outside, but was dragged away by Father Su.

Su Mo smiled slightly, "That's a nursery rhyme, every eight is sixteen."

"Hmph, it shows you're smart." Su Jin jumped onto the bed and rubbed the sheets with dirt all over her body. Su Mo picked up the feather duster on the table and lay down beside the bed to sweep it up and down. Because he was small, he swept very lightly.

Su Jin glanced at him with dissatisfaction, "If you're fake, you'll pretend."

Children are innocent, and their emotions will be clearly displayed on their faces.In fact, Su Jin is jealous of Su Mo, because his younger brother is better-looking, smarter than him, and more pampered by his parents than him. Even the neighbors in the street love to smile at his tender and well-behaved younger brother.

Su Mo felt uncomfortable, lying on the edge of the bed and pouted, "Brother, why do you always talk about me instead of smiling at me?"

"You don't like it!" Su Jin had to admit that his younger brother was indeed smarter than him, and he was smarter than him before he went to school, and he had never been beaten, unlike him, who was always pinched by his mother, His father's love and mother's love were all taken away by his younger brother.

snort!

Su Mo pouted and ran out of the bedroom.Su Jin glanced at the door, curled her lips, "Hmph, the bastard will definitely file a complaint."

"Xiao Mo, what's the matter?" Mother Su asked when she saw him coming out with his head down.

Su Mo glanced at the bedroom, "Mom, why doesn't brother like me?"

"Is he talking nonsense again? You listen to your mother. Your brother likes you, but he just speaks hard."

"But he never smiled at me."

"Your brother just doesn't like to laugh."

Mother Su was also very depressed. Ever since he beat Su Mo, the eldest brother had never smiled at his younger brother, let alone played with him.

She thought it would be good to get along with her for a while when she grew up, but who knew that the eldest child still disliked the second child, and even the second child went up to play with him many times, but was pushed down by him, and he didn't give the second child the slightest smile, and turned around to talk to the second child. The partners are smiling.

At five o'clock, the sky outside the window was very dark, and the drizzle continued.Su Jin was sleeping on the bed, while Su Mo was lying on the window sill looking at the wet ground outside the window, and it seemed that the place had not moved for a long time.

"What are you doing?" Su Jin asked in a bad voice when she woke up.

"Brother, look, the rain is getting bigger and bigger." Su Mo said, "Why do you think it rains in the sky?"

"You idiot, it rains when God wants it, why do you have so many problems?" Su Jin jumped out of bed and sat at the simple wooden table to read a picture book.

Su Mo got off the small bench, and moved his little head in front of him, "Brother, can you tell me the story inside?"

"Aren't you bothering you!" Su Jin was so impatient at being squeezed by him, she pushed him away with one hand, unexpectedly, she pushed Su Mo down with too much force, and fell to the ground in all directions.

Su Mo's eyes immediately burst into tears, and he looked at Su Jin with aggrieved eyes, his mouth twitched.Su Jin didn't mean it, she scratched her head, and then pointed at him threateningly.

"If you dare to tell your parents, I won't let you sleep on the bed at night."

It wasn't that Su Mo was threatened once or twice. He patted his pants and got up, then climbed onto the bed, lying there aggrieved.

He didn't understand why his brother bothered him so much. He saw that his brothers were very close.

"I'm going to cry, girls are chirping." Su Jin curled her lips, then turned to look at the picture book again.

"Dinner is ready, come out and eat." Su's mother shouted outside the door.

"Don't talk nonsense when you go out for a while." Su Jin wanted to put on a serious look, but the child's appearance couldn't be serious at all.

After he went out, Su Mo climbed out of bed and went out of the bedroom, rubbing his eyes so as not to be seen by others.

The Sus and his wife are both factory workers, and their salary is only more than 30 a month, which is fairly stable, but Su's mother does not dare to spend money recklessly, because she has to keep the money for her two children to go to school.

So the daily meals are just average, there is meat left for the children, and they eat pickles.

Seeing that the boss was about to eat up all the meat on the plate, Mama Su hurriedly grabbed two pieces for the second child, "Boss, I think you have eaten enough, I will save a few pieces of meat for your younger brother."

"Always make me let him, I'm still a child." Su Jin said dissatisfied.

Su Mo's mouth was full, and he looked at him, watching him stare at him and lower his head to eat.

"Didn't you hear the story of Kong Rong giving pears in school?" Mother Su said.

"What I eat is meat, not pears." Su Jin clattered, causing Su's father to choke on a mouthful of food, and quickly drank his saliva.

"Fucking stuff."

"I can't point to you." Mother Su shook her head, and gave Su Mo a few more pieces of meat.

Su Jin snorted, and stuffed all the food into her mouth without leaving a piece of meat for Su Mo.Su Mo wasn't angry either, he had a good temper.

Sometimes Su's mother is really afraid that his temper will be bullied.

At night, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, patting on the window, but it unexpectedly calmed Su Mo. He watched his brother fall asleep, and secretly took out the previous piece of candy.

Under the dim and warm candlelight, the candy's coat shone with light.

Su Mo peeled off the sugar skin, and inside was a piece of yellow candy. As soon as the sugar entered his mouth, a sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth, which was extremely delicious.

He smiled happily, and suddenly, the sugar turned into a stream of water, which flowed down his throat, and the water gradually became bitter.Su Mo frowned, wanted to vomit but couldn't, causing a violent cough.

"Cough cough cough..."

Su Jin was woken up, and just about to blame him, she saw him coughing lying on the bed, so she stepped forward and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Under the candlelight, Su Mo coughed and flushed.Su Jin hurriedly jumped out of bed to pour water, and when she came back, she saw Su Mo sitting on the bed watching him crying, tears streaming down her face.

The terrified eyes made Su Jin's heart tremble suddenly, and she sent the water up, "Why are you crying? Drink some water."

"Ugh..." Su Mo opened his mouth to call brother, but he uttered the word uh, and the inability to say it made him flustered even more, and tears fell faster.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Jin was frightened, and hurried to call his parents.

After a while, the Su couple rushed over. Seeing them, Su Mo threw himself into Mama Su's arms, "Uh, uh..."

"Son, what's the matter with you? Tell mom, what's the matter with you?" Mother Su panicked.Su's father also frowned.

Su Mo pointed to his throat and shook his head. Under the candlelight, his small face was full of anxiety, and various emotions lingered in his tearful eyes.

He desperately wanted to call his mother, but in the end he didn't call out.

However, he found that when he held Su Moli's hand, he actually saw the picture of his mother taking him to the hospital and the scene of his mother fainting in his mind.

Su Mo didn't know what was going on, all he knew was that the overwhelming fear made him stunned, and his small body trembled in Su Moli's arms.
