world travel

In the three years from the age of 11 to 13, Kang Yan came to Zhou's house about six times.

The time of each visit varies. The longest time he stayed here was two months, and the shortest time was only three days.

However, Zhou Jiamu and Zhou Xin are gradually not the main objects of Kang Yan's visit.Once Zhou Jiamu heard Zhou Qin's voice coming from the room, he realized dully that Kang Yan had come to find Zhou Tan.

It was strange to say that the two had only met once, but somehow they got along so well.

Perhaps because of age, Zhou Qin is only two years older than Kang Yan.Perhaps because of their appearance, Zhou Tan and Zhou Xin look alike.Maybe because of... maybe no reason.

Grandma doesn't know anything, she is too tired, she needs to support the whole family, so she has no time to care about who Zhou Tan associates with.

Zhou Jiamu was also isolated from their small world, but was sent away by a football sent to him by Kang Yan.

Due to the environment in which he grew up, Zhou Jiamu was a very sensitive child.He knows what to do and what not to do.I know that I have to study hard and change my destiny.Knowing to help grandma share the housework, so as not to cause trouble.

He covered up all the child's nature, lived with trepidation, and grew up day by day. Although he had doubts about Zhou Qin and Kang Yan in his heart, he dared not say so.

Especially during the two months when Kang Yan lived in his house, Zhou Jiamu felt flustered and strange, and avoided them when he saw them.

He played football outside in the sun, tanned himself, his hands were dirty, his hair was curled with sweat, and his clothes smelled of sweat.He didn't come home until sunset, took a cold shower, changed into clean pajamas, and was called to dinner.

That day he saw Zhou Tan at the dinner table.

Zhou Jiamu looked at his uncle intently, as if struck by lightning.

Zhou Qin was sitting in a wheelchair, tilting his head, his expression seemed to be mocking Zhou Jiamu, and he said, "Are you stupid for playing football?"

"No." Zhou Jiamu walked over, still immersed in shock.

Zhou Tan never went out to eat with them, never.In Zhou Jiamu's memory, this was the first time he saw his uncle sitting at the dinner table.

His wheelchair needs two cushions to reach the normal height of the table.His thin and pale arms were in stark contrast to Zhou Jiamu's tanned skin.Kang Yan sat between Zhou Jiamu and Zhou Qin. He turned slightly to his side and picked some food for Zhou Qin.

At the dinner table, they were discussing a certain book.Zhou Jiamu didn't understand, but Zhou Qin was still interested.He didn't speak loudly, and he was much more focused than when he was talking to Zhou Jiamu.Zhou Tan didn't eat much, and in the second half, Zhou Jiamu saw that he only drank a few sips of soup.

Zhou Jiamu ate like a starving ghost. Recently, his appetite increased greatly, and he felt hungry every day.

After dinner, Kang Yan pushed Zhou Tan back to the house, and Zhou Jiamu cleaned up the dishes.

The next day he saw Kang Yan pushing Zhou Tan for a walk in the yard again.

Zhou Jiamu was a little numb at this moment, and decided not to think about the matter between his uncle and Kang Yan.It was summer vacation, so he locked himself in his room to do his homework. Because he worked too hard, he finished the summer homework in only one week.

Zhou Jiamu lay on the window sill and looked down, and saw that Kang Yan was cutting watermelon. The watermelon for Zhou Qin was dug out with a spoon and placed in a small bowl, even the seeds inside had been removed.

He thought that the relationship between Kang Yan and Zhou Tan would always be good, but after that summer, Kang Yan and Zhou Qin parted ways, and Kang Yan didn't even say hello to Zhou Jiamu when he left.

Zhou Jiamu felt baffled, and when he ran to see Zhou Tan, he found him sleeping on the bed without saying a word.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you, uncle?" Zhou Jiamu wanted to help him turn over.

"Get out! Get out!" Zhou Qin didn't know what kind of temper he was throwing.

Compared to the first time he saw Zhou Tan lose his temper, Zhou Jiamu could face it a little more calmly now.He will still be terrified, but he will not run away like he did at the beginning.He also complained, but he knew that his uncle was very bitter, just like when he was very bitter, he would find a place where no one was around and yell, or run out and kick the ball vigorously.But uncle can't, he has to face his suffering, he can't go anywhere, so Zhou Jiamu chooses to forgive him.

Zhou Jiamu wanted to call Kang Yan and ask him what's wrong, if he made uncle unhappy, but he still didn't ask in the end.Later, Kang Yan told him that he knew about the Bronze Lord.He was an outsider, but he showed an unusual anger. He said that if Liang An hadn't cheated Grandpa of the Bronze Noble, then everything might be different today.

At the age of 14, Zhou Jiamu's grandmother slipped on a rainy day and fell into the river on the other side of the town.

The people of Langshan Town searched back and forth for a day, and finally found the grandmother's body downstream.

The adults didn't let Zhou Jiamu watch, and a few elders organized the funeral. They asked Zhou Jiamu to keep a wake for grandma, and the aunts brought food for them.

"Jiamu, do you have any relatives in your family?"

Zhou Jiamu shook his head in confusion, and said, "It's just me and uncle."

"Your uncle... hey."

Zhou Qin can't be counted on, he still needs Zhou Jiamu to take care of him.

Zhou Jiamu took a week off from the school. After finishing his work here, he sat in the empty room, not knowing what to do.Grandma is his spiritual support, and he loves her very much, but he thinks that death may be a kind of relief for grandma.She misses her husband and daughter so much, she doesn't know how she gets through each day.

Now it was Zhou Jiamu's turn.He thought, he is still young, only 14 years old, so he can bear a little more.

Zhou Jiamu pulled himself together, hid his grandmother's savings, went to buy vegetables, came back to cook, and then sent them to Zhou Tan.

"What happened outside?" Zhou Qin asked.

It took a long time for Zhou Jiamu to say: "Grandma fell into the river and was not rescued."

"Oh." Zhou Tan thought for a while, but found that he had nothing to say.

"Uncle, it's just me and you."

"You might as well starve me to death, Jiamu."

"no……"

"I'm serious." Zhou Tan smiled at him.

Zhou Jiamu looked up at Zhou Qin's expression carefully, and found that he was really serious.

"I'm meaningless to live." Zhou Tan tried to sit up straight, and lifted the blanket covering his body with his hands. His two legs had shrunk, as if they no longer belonged to the rest of Zhou Tan's body.It was so ugly, but it still wanted to be with Zhou Tan.

"Do you think this is interesting?" Zhou Qin continued to ask.

Zhou Jiamu couldn't answer, so he just handed the food to Zhou Tan, who dropped the bowl for the first time while holding it in his hand.

Zhou Jiamu's chest heaved violently, and he was restraining himself from crying.

He worked hard, worked hard, gritted his teeth, and said seriously: "Uncle, I will not let you die. I will take care of you, and take care of you every day."

Although the tone of the last few words was a little trembling, Zhou Jiamu still finished speaking.

He knelt down to clean up Zhou Tan's broken bowls and chopsticks, and then walked out, not knowing what he was about to face.

Life still has to go on, the earth is revolving every day, Zhou Jiamu is so small, he can't affect anyone, and no one will care about him.

So he worked harder to study, cook, bathe Zhou Qin, and push him out to bask in the sun.Zhou Jiamu only has 24 hours a day, sometimes he is too tired, his clothes become too dirty to wash, and he still smells of oily smoke.

He still has good grades, but he will be looked down upon.

Someone bullied him, Zhou Jiamu tried his best to avoid it, but they would come again.

Zhou Qin went too far, he had nowhere to vent his pain, and the only person he could see was Zhou Jiamu.

Once Zhou Jiamu wanted to die, but he was thinking about going home to cook for his uncle, so he hurried back, but this thought haunted him like a ghost, and he didn't leave for a moment.
