When——啷——

Liu Jianshe wanted to open the door carefully, but he didn't think about it, but he still touched the basin shelf behind the door, and fell to the ground in response, making a sound. Zheng Lijuan yawned, lay down in the quilt and asked: What's the matter-construction-okay?

Liu Jianshe looked up at the bedroom of the "ghost brother", and said in a low voice in the direction of Zheng Lijuan's voice: It's okay - Juanjuan - the basin stand has fallen - After speaking, he tiptoed to pack up all the items on the ground, put them back in their original places, gently opened the crack in the door, and shrank his body to squeeze out.

Hearing the sound in the haze, "Brother Ghost" turned over, lay on the bed and tried to think about all the memories after arguing with Liu Jianshe last night, and couldn't think of anything. Sleeping, dreamless all night, there is a kind of detachment from the control of self-consciousness, no consciousness, no memory, more like someone has cleared all perceptions during sleep.

"Ghost Brother" turned his head to look at the alarm clock, it was almost 7 o'clock, and it was time to get up and go for a morning run - change into shorts and shorts, and put on white sneakers. He stood in the hall and listened, Zheng Lijuan hadn't gotten up yet, and he could still hear some snoring. He walked to the door of the bedroom and called softly: Auntie-aunt-up, it's time to exercise—

After being quiet for a while, I heard Zheng Lijuan yawn and keep saying: Okay-good-yes-you go first-I'll come-"Ghost Brother" replied softly: Oh-then I'll go first-

The shorts and shorts that wake up in the morning can already feel the slightest coolness. The sheep and the sheep herders have not yet arrived, the body of the guardian of the riverbank is as quiet as a virgin, guarding the cornfield between the banks, the leaves that have just woken up, in the bright light, slowly stretching their bodies, shaking their spirits, the early birds, carving in the grass, flying to the chirping nest with the occasional insect in their mouths—

After running three laps, I finally met Zheng Lijuan on the stone bridge - shrunken, shrunken, sleepy or blind, the hair on the back of the head was raised high, and she was swaying and dragging forward from the stone bridge. "Brother Ghost" patted him lightly from behind, and Zheng Lijuan turned her head mechanically, smiling, and looking at him with a faint glint in her eyes. "Brother Ghost" touched the sweat on his forehead, shook the clothes stuck to his body, and followed Zheng Lijuan.

Still angry?Zheng Lijuan asked with a smile. "Brother Ghost" said ashamedly: No, I also regret it a little, I shouldn't be like that! Zheng Lijuan smiled with satisfaction and said: People often say that there is no hatred and no father and son, and your father is also anxious for you, you see that he is stuck in the workshop all day and doesn't say anything, but he is also anxious in his heart!

"Brother Ghost" lowered his head, looked repentant, and said: I know, aunt, wait quietly for the result, and I will think about it too! Zheng Lijuan reached out and patted him on the back, stopped, looked at the back mountain, and said: No matter what the result is, go and say hello to your mother then, you haven't seen her for a long time!

"Brother Ghost" also looked up at the back, the verdant cypress trees had already covered the cemetery tightly, he sighed, and said: I can't remember anymore, I can't remember what it looks like! Zheng Lijuan put her hand on the shoulder of "Brother Ghost" and said: No matter what, it's your mother!

"Brother Ghost" turned his head to look at Zheng Lijuan's amiable appearance, nodded and said: Okay, when there is a result, I'll take a look! After speaking, Zheng Lijuan kept climbing on the shoulder of "Brother Ghost" and talking. After walking two laps, Zheng Lijuan's forehead was already sweating slightly, and she was a little more lively than just now. When he walked off the stone bridge, the "ghost brother" told Zheng Lijuan: Auntie, you go back first, I'll go to the workshop, I haven't seen Brother Qiang for a few days, I'll take a look!

After Zheng Lijuan listened, she looked at him with a dodgy look, then stretched out her hand and pulled him hard, saying: Don't go, go back and help me make breakfast! This move made the "ghost brother" can't help but be suspicious, and said curtly: You go back first, I will also go to apologize to my father, and I will come back-After speaking, he gently broke free of Zheng Lijuan's hand, and ran towards the workshop with a smile as he walked.

Entering through the small door, a large courtyard paved with ash and slag is presented in front of you, which was originally a place for the supply and marketing cooperatives to store goods and rest for employees, but now it is deserted, with low dormitories, broken glass canteens, and sunken stoves, two chimneys made of green bricks, showing the marks of the times; stepping on the steps made of green bricks, which are uneven by rain or erosion by time, and the finger-wide brick joints are full of wood chips.

The sound of the shavings bed, the sound of the chisel - the "ghost brother" walked in, and there were only two people in the huge space - Liu Jianshe and the apprentice, but they didn't see Zhang Guoqiang. "Brother Ghost" walked up to Liu Jianjian, patted it, and shouted loudly: Dad-where is Brother Qiang?

Liu Jianshe saw that it was a "ghost brother", and dragged him by the arm and walked outside. Walking into the yard, Liu Jianshe pulled the sawdust on his body and said: It seems that I can't hide it from you - without waiting for Liu Jianshe to continue, "Brother Ghost" shouted anxiously: What are you hiding from me?

Liu Jianshe glanced at the "ghost brother" and said angrily: Who is hiding anything from you, it is your brother who is not angry! After hearing this, the "ghost brother" was even more surprised, looked at Liu Jianshe with a frown, and asked anxiously: What's the matter?

Liu Jianshe sighed, squatted on the pile of bricks next to him, and said: Your brother was not bad when he first came, and his understanding was quite high, and he learned things faster than the senior brother inside, but the carpenter's words, the main thing is to make more things, so that he can work slowly and carefully, what about him-the work is not meticulous, rough branches and leaves, I feel that he has not calmed down; Even if he finished his cousin's work in the Internet café and delivered the goods, and then came back, he had nothing to do all day, and he didn't know what to do, and the sporadic little work in the workshop was still not worth doing—

Liu Jianshe changed his posture and simply sat on the brick, and the big apprentice walked out, holding a large teacup made of cans and bottles, offering it to him with both hands, nodding to the "ghost brother", turning around and walking back to the workshop. "Brother Ghost" looked at Liu Jianjian, "Goo Dong - Goo Dong -" took two sips, and hurriedly asked: Then you haven't been here recently?

Liu Jianshe put down the teacup, looked at him, and said impatiently: Other people's things are quite concerned - it's been almost half a month, that day I saw a few acquaintances at the door after work, of the same age, looking at the hanging children, flowing in the air, I paid attention, and followed those few, and then I haven't been here since that day!

"Brother Ghost" was a little surprised, looked at Liu Jianshe in a daze, and asked: Then haven't you met Uncle Qiang and Aunt Qiang recently?

Liu Jianshe glared at him and said: Why didn't you meet him, he didn't know where he went! I came back halfway, slept all night and disappeared again, elusive - I also looked like it was your brother, and I didn't have a place to go for a while, who can accept him in this situation, hey, hate iron and not steel!

"Brother Ghost" tentatively, in fact, he didn't want to think about it like this, and asked: Dad, do you think he should gamble again?

Liu Jianshe stood up, patted the soil on his buttocks, picked up the water glass, and said: I hope there is no hope, and if you gamble again, it will be completely wasted - after speaking, he walked to the house with his hands behind his back. "Brother Ghost" shouted with a smile: Dad, looking at your posture, you are still angry with me, you are not old, and you are quite old!

After listening to this, Liu Jianshe was so angry that he wanted to hit him with a water cup, and then stood at the door, and said with a gentle smile: Guoqiang's matter, look at it for two more days, if it doesn't work, we should hand it over to the police station to deal with, we can't stand by and watch him go downhill-

"Brother Ghost" nodded and said: Got it, then I'll go back first, help my aunt make breakfast, you can come back to eat later-Liu Jianshe waved his hand and lowered his head into the house.

"Brother Ghost" walked to the meeting, while pondering about Zhang Guoqiang's affairs in his heart - speculating on hundreds of possibilities, but finally made up his mind, as long as we do not break the law and commit crimes, we can accept it, no matter how free we live, we can hope to rise.
