This is what happened when Yan Batu was first employed.

Yan Batu is a single-parent family, his father ran away with other women when he was very young, and his mother has always taken him.

He is also known as the oil bottle, and he knew that it was very difficult for women with children to find another home in this society.

Batu's mother ran a small noodle restaurant by herself and raised Batu alone for ten years.

Yan Batu is also a filial child, he is also serious in reading, and he is kind and polite to others, at least in other people's mouths, he is the kind of neighbor's child who is good in everything.

In order to make his mother less stressed, Batu also applied for a university near his home after the college entrance examination, so that he could come to the store to help when he had time, and just to solve the food problem.

It wasn't until the end of his freshman year that his mother told him he was getting married.

As a good boy who understands his mother, Batu should have happily agreed, but I don't know why, he didn't say anything that day.

Or, he doesn't want to say it.

If you don't want to get married, a good boy won't say it.

Batu didn't complain about his mother's remarriage, he just felt that with a new family, his mother might no longer pay attention to him.

It was his instinct.

As it turned out, his instincts were not wrong, his mother's new husband was a good-tempered person, and he had always been polite when he saw Batu.

Politeness often means that there is no emotional bond, and the relationship between the uncle, the new father of Batu, and him is not good, but it is not bad.

In the first two years, Batu felt that it might not be so bad.

Until the birth of my brother.

A younger brother who is 19 years apart, the moment he was born, he became the focus of this new small family, not only his mother and uncle, but also his grandmother and grandfather, who have always loved him, began to revolve around this younger brother.

And Batu may be that some redundant discarded parts, and there have been many times when Batu came home and even found that his mother didn't even prepare his own dishes and chopsticks.

It's a little awkward.

The father who ran away has been out of contact with his relative Batu for a long time, and his mother has gradually begun to ignore him.

However, Batu can't complain because he's a good boy.

Since then, Batu has been living in the student dormitory and never going home, and his living expenses are also earned by his own part-time work, delivering newspapers, delivering milk, supermarket cashier, and moving bricks on the construction site.

He didn't want to go home because he knew he might not get anything even if he did.

Patience is his best choice, and it is also his only choice.

When a child is labeled as a "good child", he always wants to be the best, he wants the praise of others, he wants the praise of his mother.

It was a hat that could not be shaken off.

However, he can also make good friends, Batu is an optimistic person, even when he is outside, he gets along very well with his classmates and roommates.

Watch anime together, play games, and go to the library together.

Although he lacked a girlfriend throughout his college career, he was very happy.

The first contradiction broke out after Batu was admitted to graduate school.

Batu was lucky that he was admitted to a prestigious university at the time.

At that time, he happily went home to tell his mother, but he was greeted with a stinky face.

At that time, my mother was worried about the kindergarten that her younger brother would go to in the future, and she wanted her youngest son to be able to go to a key primary school in the future, so she had to start from kindergarten.

Don't let your child lose at the starting line.

"What's the use of studying modern Chinese literature, and will you be able to find a job in the future?"

worked hard to get to graduate school, and originally wanted to surprise my mother, but I didn't expect her to react like this.

"Moreover, there is no spare money at home for you to go to school now, or you should go to work, so that the pressure on the family will be less, and your younger brother will have to go to a key primary school, and the tuition fee is expensive. ”

Want to throw up?

Yan Batu covered his mouth to hold himself back from spitting out.

He didn't know what feelings were in his heart.

Jealousy, anger, sadness, or disgust?

"Oh, your mother has been worried lately, don't be angry. ”

Uncle just smiled and patted Yan Batu on the shoulder.

Hypocrisy.

What an ugly smile you have, you took your mother away from me, and now you're still gloating here.

Batu felt that his reason was about to evaporate, of course he knew the reason why his mother did this, his surname Yan was different from his uncle's surname, this family still had to be left to his son's younger brother after all, and his mother must be attached to his uncle.

Bite your tongue and swallow the blood into your stomach, Batu forcibly calms himself down.

"I have savings, I'll take care of it myself, and I'll find a job and send you money after I finish studying. ”

Said something like that.

Batu has not been home since that day.

Graduate school is difficult, but Batu is also very hard-working, working part-time while studying every day.

In his spare time, he serialized his cool novels, and then played a mobile game.

That's his hobby.

After graduating from graduate school, Batu found a sales assistant in a large company.

Although the major is not right, but fortunately, he worked hard enough and barely stood on his feet.

Until his mother came to the company to look for him.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Batu, who was called down by the front desk, found his mother standing helplessly in the hall.

The elites in suits and leather shoes around seemed to be out of place with this plainly dressed old woman.

"Batu, come on, come on, I've found some girls for you, you're not too young, it's time for me to hold my grandson. ”

The mother, who hasn't seen her for many years, is like his son who has never left him, looking very intimate, and holding some photos of girls to show Batu.

Of course, when she was in graduate school, the scholarship was sent to her home, so she couldn't be happy.

Batu sneered in his heart, he knew how to think carefully about his mother.

"No, Mom, go back first. ”

"You kid, your mother came all the way to see you, why don't you know what to do?"

The mother was a little annoyed, she felt that she was kind enough to introduce her son to someone, and he was so faceless.

"Well, I'll tell you the truth, Mom, I hate children, of course I hate my brother, and that uncle, if you want me to give you a big fat boy you will be disappointed, I don't want children, and I don't want families. ”

These words were Batu's whispers in his mother's ear.

This is also the first time he has told his mother his true words when he grows up.

"What are you talking about? Are you worthy of me raising you for so many years?"

Mom's voice began to sharpen, as if she wanted to spill.

"I have a child, does it have anything to do with you? I gave birth to a child of the Yan family, whether I give birth or not is up to me, I have this time to discipline your good son, haven't you already entered the police station three times?"

Batu's voice was cold.

He tore all the photos in his hand to shreds, and then hugged his mother and wordlessly stuffed them into the pocket of his mother's old clothes.

"If you don't spend the money I sent you, give it back to me, you are my family, and they are not. ”

Outsiders thought it was a reunion of mother and son after a long absence.

Tearing off the disguise, Batu's eyes were cold that his mother had never seen.

He turned away.

"My son, ......".

The old woman could only look at the distant back.

This is the knot in the heart of this young man named Yan Batu.
