Chapter 42: Living with a Dead Heart
It didn't take long for Liu Xin to really go back to his hometown to hold a banquet, of course, Brother Liu, Brother Li and I went to Liu Xin's hometown together to congratulate him.
Looking at Liu Xin at this moment, with a happy face, think about my past and present...... A sense of sadness arose.
After the wedding, Liu Xin and his wife returned to the previous city with us.
One night, a high school girl sent a message, "Big brother, I'm going to college soon, and the university has been decided, and it's in your city." ”
As always, I replied to her with another look.
The little girl replied, "You're so annoying, it's been more than a year, why are you all flirting?
I thought about it for a moment and finally replied, "No, I'm in a bad mood during this time." ”
The little girl replied, "Oops, it's finally written." Why are you in a bad mood? Say it, and I will comfort you. Hey. ”
I replied, "You're too young to understand." ”
The little girl replied, "Don't you always use your age to say that you can do things? I'm going to be 18 soon, and I'm an adult." You are not fifty or sixty years old, and there will be no generation gap in our communication. ”
I couldn't help but think about how quickly time had passed? Didn't I go to junior high school when I first met? How could I have gone to college before I knew it? How long had it been since I had been home?
I lay down in bed and looked at the ceiling, it's been almost two years, my hand has been crippled for almost two years, how does it feel like it happened two days ago?
After a while, the little girl sent another message, "What's your phone number?"
I replied, "What for?"
The little girl replied, "Don't you think I'm a friend?"
I replied, "Is there a relationship between the two?"
The little girl replied, "If it's a friend, you don't even have a phone number, do you think it's a friend?"
In desperation, I gave her my mobile phone number.
My phone rang immediately, and the music stopped again, it was an unfamiliar number.
The little girl sent another message, "I just called you, did you receive it?"
I replied, "Hmm!"
The little girl replied, "When I come to your city in the future, will you take care of me?"
For some reason, I suddenly became defensive and replied succinctly, "Hmm. ”
The little girl seemed to be very happy, and after that, the little girl said that she had to review recently, so she couldn't go online often, and she would talk after the college entrance examination was over.
After Zhao Yichun was killed, the people who followed him before were also divided, following different people.
The two bars of AB are covered by Zeng Tiexin.
One day, Zeng Tiexin personally came forward and made an appointment with Brother Liu, and we were also present at the time.
Zeng Tiexin said, "Xiao Liu, how about helping me?" and then stared at me and Liu Xin again, and said, "I saved your two previous lives, right?"
Liu Xin and I hurriedly responded: "Well, thank you, Brother Zeng." ”
Brother Liu said: "Thank you, Brother Zeng, for looking up to my little brother." ”
Brother Zeng said, "What do you mean, Xiao Liu?"
Brother Liu said: "Brother Zeng has spoken in person, which means that he can afford to look down on the younger brother, and it is an honor for the younger brother to follow Brother Zeng." ”
Brother Zeng's business here was over, and a few days after the incident, Zhou Jianli found Brother Liu again.
Zhou Jianli said: "Brother Liu, you see that Zhao Yichun is also dead, have you considered coming over to help me? Let's work together, as long as I have Zhou Jianli, you can have Liu Yi's." ”
Brother Liu said unequivocally: "My brother's wish in the past was to be with Brother Li, and Brother Li is as my brother's wish today, if you can help Brother Li, my little brother really can't ask for it." ”
Afterwards, I asked worriedly, "Brother Liu, are you doing this...... Isn't that a little out of place?"
Brother Liu said helplessly: "I know, but they took the initiative to find me, can I refuse? I can't, the only choice I can choose is to cater to them very respectfully." ”
Liu Xin asked, "What should I do then?"
Brother Liu shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
Everyone was silent......
After a long time, Brother Liu spoke again: "Unless one of them suddenly dies between them." ”
Liu Xin said: "I'm afraid it won't be so easy anymore. ”
Brother Liu smiled and said, "Yes." So we'll just have to wait and see what happens. I tried to roll on both sides to see if it could go as smoothly as the previous fusion of Zhou Jianli and Zhao Yichun. ”
This time, even Brother Liu seemed to have a headache, and I didn't dare to guess what would happen next, and I didn't want to guess, let it develop. I never thought about quitting, I even thought that even if I died on this road, it would be worth it, and now I am living with a heart of death.
My parents were the only ones who couldn't be reassured, and so far, they still didn't know about my crippled arm. Every time I think of the second elder, my heart is extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, I just want to make money now, make money, and what I need to do is that if I really go ahead of the second elder, let the second old white-haired person send the black-haired person, at least the second old man can have enough money to enjoy his old age.
I send money home every two months, and no matter how much I earn in those two months, I usually only keep 3,000 with me, and send everything else back.
The second elder is also constantly urging me to get married, saying that I am not young now, and now I can still make money, if I am not good to find a partner outside, I will give me a blind date at home. Although the people in the village still have opinions about the ugly thing before, as long as they can make money, nothing else matters.
At the same time, the second elder often chattered, saying that I hadn't been home for a long time, and asked me to go back this year.
Actually, why don't I miss home? But now this picture of mine, if the second elder really sees it, will the second elder accept it? Originally, my mother's body is weak, and if I suffer any more blows, I am really afraid of her......
For the second elder, I can only choose to comfort and comfort in words and make up for it financially.
Things have returned to my current status quo again, for Zeng Tiexin and Zhou Jianli, Brother Liu has a sad face almost every day.
One day, Brother Liu called us together and said, "Actually, to this point, I thought about it before, but ......" Brother Liu held his head and stopped talking.
Brother Li said: "Brother Liu, don't think too much, let things develop how they should develop." ”
Brother Liu said: "I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, it will affect you." I have seen very clearly what you have done to me over the years. It doesn't matter what happens to me, anyway, my parents are gone, my marriage is divorced, and my children are not with me. But you ......."
Brother Li said: "Brother Liu, don't worry, if that day really comes, I, Li Sheng, will definitely do whatever it takes to ......"
Brother Liu took a long breath, looked at Liu Xin and said, "Liu Xin, it is an honor for me to have you as a family." Now that you have a family, it's time to let go of some things, you at least have to think about your family, you should quit this circle now, maybe it's still too late. So, for the sake of your family, quit and live a stable life. ”
After speaking, Brother Liu faced me again, and when he was about to speak, I immediately preemptively said: "Brother Liu, don't say anything to me, I am the same as Brother Liu now, I don't have anything to worry about, so life and death are nothing to fear for me." But Liu Xin should really quit, as Brother Liu said, you are now a person with a family after all. ”
Liu Xin stood aside, helpless, and didn't say a word.
Brother Li patted Liu Xin's shoulder and said, "Take advantage of the fact that Zhou Jianli and Zeng Tiexin don't have any opinion on you now, quit first, I believe that even if something happens in the future, they will not trouble you." ”
Liu Xin said: "You are all here, let me quit alone, what do you make me think in my heart? Doesn't this show that I am particularly unrighteous?"
Brother Li said: "This has nothing to do with righteousness, over the years, you have been righteous or not, I believe everyone understands that there is nothing wrong with not going." If you think about it, you're already married, and you're going to have children. ”
In the end, under our continuous persuasion, Liu Xin withdrew.
Not long after Liu Xin withdrew, finally, it was time to come......
One day, Zeng Tiexin suddenly found us and said to Brother Liu: "Xiao Liu, you have a very good relationship with Zhou Jianli......
Brother Liu said: "Brother Zeng, didn't he have an alliance with Zhao Yichun before, so he would often come and go." ”
Zeng Tiexin said: "It didn't matter if you interacted with him before, but now ...... I'm afraid that's a bit unreasonable, right?"
Brother Liu looked at the person standing next to him and said nothing
Zeng Tiexin saw what Brother Liu meant, and said, "It's okay, just say something, it's all my own family." ”
Brother Liu said: "Brother Zeng, in fact, the younger brother has been dating Zhou Jianli for a purpose. ”
Zeng Tiexin smiled and said, "Purpose? Before I asked you about this, why didn't you say what the purpose was?" I asked now, and you suddenly said that there was a purpose, hehe, then you should tell me what the purpose is. ”
Brother Liu said: "Brother Zeng, in fact, the younger brother has always wanted to tell you, but he was afraid that Brother Zeng would have ideas, so he waited until Brother Zeng asked ......."
Brother Zeng said: "Then you say it." ”
