It's a pity that happy times are always so short-lived. Before leaving school, the head teacher said that after half a month of the high school entrance examination, you can know the results. Chen Yadong doesn't attach much importance to it, his family is not wealthy, and studying may not be able to have a good way out, but it will increase the burden on the family. He has all figured it out, as long as he can't get into a good high school, he and his brother will go out to work together to earn money to support the family. Pay off the debts of the family, build a bungalow like a rich man, and live a stable life.

On this day, the head teacher called and excitedly told Chen Yadong that he had been admitted to the first high school, the best high school in the city, although he was only a quota student.

This cola broke Yadong's parents, who seemed to see the dawn of a bright future for the family. The people in the village also boasted that this child was promising, and the whole village had never produced a college student, so their hopes were pinned on him and Wang Jiaxing.

In this regard, Chen Yadong could only smile bitterly. Times have changed, but the thinking of those elders is still stuck in a dozen or decades ago, and they mistakenly think that after going to university, they will be able to arrange work and have enough food and clothing. Sadly, he couldn't argue with it.

Chen Yadong was not surprised to be admitted to a high school, and another unexpected bad news followed.

Chen Yanan is leaving again!

When night fell, the brothers held some grain grass on the floor of the courtyard, and when they were children, they often slept in the open air and counted the stars. Shooting stars pass by, always naïve to make a wish. In the silence of the night, the occasional distant barking of dogs could be heard.

Chen Yadong said: "Brother, shall we go caving tomorrow?" "Good!" "Didn't you say you were going to the cave before, but then you left." "Hmm." "I heard that it is very deep, and it is very big inside." "Maybe!"

Chen Yadong said a word, Chen Yanan replied, but Chen Yadong felt that his brother was weird, and he didn't seem to be much interested, so he asked, "Brother, don't you want to go?" ”

Chen Yanan sniffed and said, "No, I have the opportunity to accompany you." ”

"What do you mean, 'chance', you don't have much to live tomorrow, right?"

"Hmm."

Chen Yanan didn't seem to be interested in exploring the cave, as if he had a lot of things on his mind, Chen Yadong asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chen Yanan put his head on his hands, looked at the sky and said, "I, maybe, are leaving again." "A few simple words, he said it was very tired.

Hearing this, Chen Yadong's happy face changed, and he asked calmly, "What day?" ”

"Perhaps...... It's not decided yet, so it's going to be soon! ”

"Can't you stay a few more days?" Although Chen Yadong knew that it was impossible for his brother to live at home for a long time, when he said that he was leaving, he still felt indescribably lonely in his heart.

Listening to his younger brother's pleading and reluctant tone, Chen Yanan sighed, on the occasion of parting, he wanted to talk to his younger brother more, and he didn't know when he would go home next time: "My brother has to earn money for your education, as well as Dad's medicine expenses, etc." ”

Of course, Chen Yadong understands that relying on the little subsistence allowance given by the state is not enough to pay for the construction of rural roads every year. "Won't it be for a few days?"

Chen Yanan said helplessly: "I want to too!" It's just that there are some things that you and I can't decide. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have come back. I don't know why, Chen Yanan said and said, showing a faint sadness, maybe he was reluctant to Chen Yadong.

Don't you decide for yourself? Chen Yadong asked: "For example, the scars on your body?" ”

Chen Yanan was startled, his eyes stared at Chen Yadong, and under the clear moonlight, with a hint of coldness, it quickly dissipated. I was already very careful, but I didn't expect to be known by my younger brother. said lightly: "Don't tell Mom and Dad, I don't want them to worry about me." ”

Suddenly, Chen Yadong found that he was estranged a lot from his brother, and his brother had too many experiences that he didn't know, and an invisible distance separated the two. "Can you tell me what you're doing in the field?"

Chen Yanan had never mentioned it to anyone, and he wanted to make an excuse casually, but the words came to his lips and swallowed again. He didn't want to deceive his younger brother, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Show others the scene and maintain order in the bar." There are always some people who like to make trouble, and fights are inevitable, and this scar is just a testimony of the years. ”

Chen Yadong's heart tightened, he never knew that his brother was doing such a high-risk occupation, maybe one day if he was unlucky, he would be hacked to death on the street. Just thinking about that bleak scene, Chen Yadong felt scared for a while, and subconsciously grabbed Chen Yanan with both hands, really afraid that he would disappear in front of him in an instant. With a crying voice, he said, "This joke is not funny at all! ”

Chen Yanan sighed and continued: "I recently followed a boss and may want to go abroad, this ...... It's also a reason why I go home. ”

Go abroad? The first word that Chen Yadong thought of was that he couldn't help himself, and hurriedly said: "No, you definitely can't go!" Promise me, okay? In the end, it had turned into a plea, and he knew that Chen Yanan had told him that he had decided. What my brother decides will never change, he knows.

Sure enough, Chen Yanan shook his head and took out a bank card from his trouser bag, and under the moonlight, he couldn't see its original color clearly. He said: "This is 300,000 yuan given by the boss, and it will be handed over to you, and your tuition fee ...... If it's gone, I'll call you again. ”

Chen Yadong was shocked, he had never handled so much money since he was a child, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

Soon, he recovered from his shock, his surprise was replaced by anger, he struggled to open Chen Yanan's hand, and roared: "Is one of your lives only worth these 300,000?" Tears ran down Chen Yadong's Qingxiu face, dripping down.

Looking at Chen Yadong who was in tears, Chen Yanan's heart tingled, his eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't bear to let the tears fall.

After a long time, he said slowly: "We are just ants like ants, and you can't realize that the lives of people like us are not worth anything!" The most important thing in a person's life is to make themselves more valuable. My brother doesn't have that kind of condition, but I will try to create a better environment for you! ”

Chen Yadong's tears came like a burst embankment, his choked voice was speechless, in the face of fate, he was so insignificant, all the grievances, helplessness could only rely on tears. I'm afraid of losing my brother, but I'm so powerless. I could only hug him tightly. The meteor flashed away, but no one ignored it and streaked across the night sky; Even if it is a hundred years, no one will pay attention to its existence. The meteor is beautiful and short-lived, and although perseverance is obscure, without its embellishment, the night sky would be dead silent. People are like a star, left and right have their existence value, as Wang Bo wrote in the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng": I am born to be useful. Fortune is destined by heaven, but fate is in your own hands. What his fate will be, Chen Yadong doesn't know, he only hopes for a scene like hugging his brother, one more second!

"Maybe it's in the next day or two, I'm leaving, you must take care of your parents and grandma. In the future, ......, you still have to study hard, and you must get ahead in the future, don't forget your brother......"

Hehe, Chen Yanan suddenly laughed, feeling that he had said a lot of things that he shouldn't have said tonight. It's not like I'm chatting with Chen Yadong, it's better like explaining the future.

said that it was a day or two, but in fact, Chen Yanan had already prepared to leave the next day. Hearing the news that Chen Yadong was admitted to the first middle school, he was really happy, and he was more determined to take risks for this family. The wind and clouds are abrupt, and the world is impermanent. Who can predict what lies ahead? When Chen Yanan stepped in, he realized what it meant to be truly involuntarily. Of course, that's all for later!

Chen Yadong didn't know when, maybe he was tired of crying, and fell asleep quietly. And his hand always grabbed Chen Yanan's arm tightly, and his mouth kept talking about his brother.

He had a dream: in a strange place, a world full of monsters, they surrounded his brother in the center, biting and eating his ** little by little, and his brother shouted for help, his face was so hideous, but it didn't help. The monsters laughed like they were teasing their brother, and the more miserable he screamed, the more excited the monsters became. And Chen Yadong himself was standing next to him, but he didn't know to step forward to help. It wasn't until his brother was covered in blood that he reacted. It's a pity that it was too late at that time, and my brother suddenly disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

Nightmare!!! A lingering nightmare is deeply engraved in Chen Yadong's mind. Waking up from his sleep, Chen Yadong opened his eyes, it was the next morning, and the sun poured on his tear-stained little face, a beautiful feeling...... It's just that he can't be in a beautiful mood. Chen Yanan next to him is no longer there, maybe he got up to make breakfast. He walked and stood up, and approached the house, where the smell of food was fragrant, but he did not see the shadow of his brother. Chen Yadong opened the back door and looked around, but he didn't see Chen Yanan, so he called: "Brother, brother, where are you?" ”

"Ahem, ahem." Yadong's father coughed from the room, and then said, "Your brother has left." ”

"What?" Chen Yadong's tears rolled out again, dripping silently. At that moment, there was only one thought in my head: get my brother back!

He stepped out of the house and ran all the way, stumbling onto the main road, there was no one in sight, the shuttle bus had long since left, and there was no trace of his brother on the road.

"Brother......" Chen Yadong knelt on the side of the road, and his heart-rending howl was so heartbreaking. It's a pity that in the end, Chen Yanan couldn't keep the footsteps of leaving.

Chen Yanan in the carriage seemed to be able to feel Chen Yadong's heartbreaking voice, he thought he was very strong, but this time, he couldn't stop the tears from dripping. Leaning his head on the car window, he watched the scenery flash in front of him and quickly reverse, and the happy scenes of the past flashed in his mind.

"This time, maybe it's goodbye, brother, goodbye!"

My brother will be back, he will definitely !! Chen Yadong firmly believes.
