"Boom la la ......"

The showers washed the street, flapping the umbrella held by Lian Ge, and the rain gathered along the umbrella surface and flowed down from the umbrella.

On the side, in the torrential wind and rain, the old lady was leaning over, still standing trembling in place,

Let the rain soak your clothes and run down the placket,

"Old lady, take shelter from the rain. Lian Ge held the umbrella, moved the umbrella towards the top of the old lady's head, and said loudly,

"Thanks, no need......"

I don't know if it's cold or because of the sudden wind, the old lady shivered,

"Young man, you might as well use your own umbrella...... The umbrella is too small to cover only one person. ”

The old lady shook her head, moved to the side, and let the rain fall on her head, body,

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old lady again, turned his gaze back, took back his umbrella, looked at the city in the rain in the distance, and didn't say anything more.

On his side, it suddenly became much quieter, only the sound of cars passing by sounded faintly in the rain,

The old lady stood in the rainstorm, still looking at the passing cars as before.

Even with the rain coming in the wind, the vision was constantly blurred, and the old lady still struggled to open her eyes,

I don't know if it was the shower that soaked the cotton clothes, which made the cotton clothes shrink, or because of something else, the figure of the old lady became more and more thin in the sudden wind and rain.

......

“...... It's already raining, young man, aren't you leaving?"

After a long time, the old lady had rain on her face, turned her head, and looked at Lian Ge,

"Maybe I felt like I had made a mistake, so I wanted to get drenched in the rain and see if I could dispel some of my guilt. ”

Lian Ge held the umbrella and didn't turn his gaze back, looking at the city in the hazy rain and fog in the distance, smiling slightly, and said in a calm tone.

Hearing this, the old lady was silent, slowly turned her head, and looked at the vehicles passing on the road as before.

“...... I also have a son who is five years younger than my eldest son. When the youngest son was ten years old, the eldest son dropped out of school one semester before the high school entrance examination, and used the money saved to pay his younger brother's tuition and use it as living expenses. ”

"...... Uproar"

The showers washed away with the wind, and there were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road.

The old lady looked in front of her and said,

“...... That day, when he came back with his brother, his brother was very happy, and he was very happy.

I was doing the laundry, and my youngest son happily came running up to me and told me that his brother had told him that he was going out to make a lot of money...... also said that when he came back after making a lot of money, he could buy him roasted marinade to eat, as long as he studied hard......

The eldest son stood beside him, looking at his younger brother, and he was smiling and smiling happily. ”

"...... Uproar"

Another car drove by, splashing the rain that flowed down the side of the road,

"That afternoon, I beat my eldest son so hard that he didn't cry, his brother was crying next to him, and I couldn't help but have red eyes.

I asked him why he didn't pay his tuition, and he smiled and told me that he didn't want to read it anymore and couldn't read it...... I hit him again, but he still told me that he didn't want to miss him......

I told him that I would find a way to get him to go to school with me and get the money back...... And he laughed, and stood there, not moving...... He knew that I couldn't do it, and if I had a way, how could I ...... How could it be ......"

The old lady was drenched in the rain, saying, looking at the cars driving in front of her, her eyes were in a trance,

"That afternoon, I hugged my two brothers and cried.

He comforted me and said that his younger brother had a more flexible head, unlike him, he was not the material for studying, and it was a waste for him to read, and he didn't want to read it, so it was better to come out to work now, and he could still provide for his brother's education......

How could he not miss it, how could he not miss it...... When he was studying, he worked harder than anyone else...... Work harder than anyone else. ”

The old lady spoke, silent,

"Boom la la ......"

The torrential rain kept beating on the street, and the old lady, on the soaked cotton clothes, the rain continued to run down the cuffs, and the old lady trembled.

After that day, the younger son went to school to continue his studies, and the eldest son wanted to work, but he was not old enough, he could not enter the factory, and many places did not want him, so he washed dishes in a restaurant......

That year, I tried my best to find an extra job, and throughout the year, I saved up, little by little, and I wanted to wait until the second year later, and then send him to school, so that both of them could continue to study. ”

The old lady leaned over, swaying gently with the gusts of wind and rain, and seemed to be a little unsteady on her feet,

"Wait until the second year...... I'm glad I saved enough money......"

As the old lady spoke, she fell silent again, her vision blurred in the rain, and she struggled to open her eyes,

“...... But that year has passed, and there is no way back...... When I told him to go back to school, he looked at me and smiled...... Then he told me that he was used to being outside and didn't want to study anymore, and he took out the money he had saved and brought it to me, telling me that this was the money he had saved to pay for his brother's tuition...... I just held the money I had saved with one hand and the money he had saved with the other, and I just looked at him......"

After that, his brother continued his studies and later went to join the army. He saved some money, set up a small stall on the street, and gradually became a thug...... But he still did what he said, every year when his brother was about to start school, he would always give his brother enough money to study......

Further back...... The younger one made meritorious service in the army, transferred to the court, and became a bailiff. The big one, who killed someone, broke the law, was sentenced to death. ”

As she spoke, the old lady's body trembled in the shower, allowing a shower of rain to come to her face, still struggling to open her eyes, looking at a car passing by the side of the road,

“...... Today, the younger one will take the older one to the execution ground to serve his brother......"

The sound of words, mixed with the sound of rain, the sound of vehicles passing by, ringing,

“...... It was never the turn of the small one. The old woman, I put this face out of my face, and after letting the little one write a few applications, the court agreed......"

The old lady spoke, and fell silent again, just standing in the rain, looking at the road in front of her,

Lian Ge listened to the old lady's narration, turned his gaze, glanced at the old lady, withdrew his gaze, and looked into the distance,

"Old lady, do you think the little one is sorry for the big one?"

Lian Ge asked in a calm tone,

"It's not the little one who's sorry for his brother, it's me...... It's me who I'm sorry for my eldest son. ”

The old lady's body trembled, and the rain kept lapping on her,

“...... When his father was leaving, he held my hand and looked at me...... He couldn't let go of my two sons, and I told him, I'll take care of the two children, I'll take care of the two children......"

The old lady read it, looking at the road in front of her, her eyes were in a trance, and she was in a trance.

"Old lady, you think your younger son is sorry for your eldest son. ”

Lian Ge didn't turn his gaze either, and said in a calm tone again.

As the words fell, the street became quieter.

This time, the old lady fell silent, just trembling, looking at the cars passing on the road in front of her, and did not say a word.

And in the midst of these words,

The shower became smaller, and the dense raindrops became sparse again.

The wind gradually turned into a fresh breeze, carrying some moisture in the air, blowing from far away from the street.

Raising his head slightly, looking at the dark clouds that were gradually dissipating, Lian Ge put away the open umbrella.

The rainwater that is still stained on the surface of the umbrella continues to drip down the umbrella and drip on the ground where the rain has also been stored.
