Heshun worked overtime today and came back a little late, and it was already dark. Walking in the community, the north wind swished like a knife. Heshun raised his collar and quickened his pace, eager to step into the house. Suddenly, he saw a spark flickering in the bushes at the entrance of the building. He Shun knew that someone was smoking there, and wondered who would go out in the middle of the night to smoke on such a cold day. He just walked into his building with his head down, and suddenly a long sigh came from the place where the spark flashed. At this sound, he could tell that it was his second brother Li Heping. He took a step back and turned to the bushes. Bypassing a row of dry moons, he saw Heping squatting under a holly tree smoking one cigarette after another, the expression on his face was unclear because it was dark, but the rickety posture looked extremely depressed and helpless.

He Shun walked over and asked, "What are you doing?" It's not too cold, run here to smoke! ”

Heping was taken aback, looked up and saw that it was the eldest brother, and then lowered his head and took a puff before standing up and saying, "It's clean here." ”

After all, they are brothers, although everyone has been busy with each other in recent years, and rarely communicates and talks, but they still have a deep understanding of their respective habits over the years. He Shun knows that his second brother usually doesn't smoke, and he doesn't finish smoking unless he encounters something particularly annoying. Seeing this situation, he knew that peace must have something in his heart today, so he patted him on the back and said, "Let's go, I just haven't eaten, you can accompany me to drink two sips." ”

Peace didn't squeak either, and obediently followed his brother out of the green belt. The two left the community and found a small restaurant on the side of the street. I picked up a clean place and sat down. I asked for a fried pork slices with mushrooms, a white chopped chicken, a soup pot, plus a few small cold dishes, and asked the young man to bring a bundle of beer. He Shun opened a bottle and filled a cup for both Heping and himself, and the two brothers drank each other. He Shun didn't eat dinner, so he ate food and drank at the same time. Peace is just a mouthful. Basically, I don't eat vegetables. Don't look at the peace, this guy usually talks endlessly, the whole thing is chattering. But if something really happens, he is often silent, and he has to drink it to pry his mouth open. He Shun knew his temperament, so he didn't rush to ask.

When the two bottles of wine were down, Heshun saw that peace had not stopped, so he put down his chopsticks and pressed the cup of peace with his hand to prevent him from drinking so violently.

Heping glanced at his eldest brother, let out a long breath, leaned back, took out a cigarette and lit it again.

He Shun said: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Heping spat out a puff of cigarette and said faintly: "It's really boring to be a man." ”

Heshun listened to it and said, "Mom and your daughter-in-law are having trouble again?" ”

Heping said: "Big brother, how do you know ......" Halfway through the words, he thought that his eldest brother and sister-in-law had lived with his parents for several years, and there must have been more such situations than he had encountered.

He Shun said: "Women are cautious. A little thing can be tossed endlessly. It's like this in every household, you don't have to bother, just get used to it. ”

Heping looked at Heshun and said: "When I wasn't married before, I looked at my sister-in-law and my mother, and I thought that the relationship between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was quite simple, but I didn't expect that it was really my turn, but it was so complicated." ”

He Shun took a chopstick dish to his mouth, and said while chewing: "Do you think your sister-in-law is so easy to dismiss?" It's just that I'm embarrassed in front of people, and I don't have to toss a lot when I go back. I was annoyed enough for a while. But on the one hand, my wife and children, and on the other hand, my own mother, what should I do? If you can make do with it, make do with it. ”

Heping said dejectedly: "It's so easy to improvise." Coaxing people all day long, and always making both sides not people. If you don't look at the children, sometimes you really want to leave with your hands! ”

He Shun swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Then let's go." As soon as you're gone, they might just stop. ”

Peace said: "How is that possible? As long as you go back, it won't make more trouble? Unless you don't go back for the rest of your life! ”

He Shun enlightened him and said, "It's over after a little confusion." ”

Heping said: "Of course, it's good to be able to mess around, but I'm afraid that if you want to be confused, people won't let you be confused, so what if you have to distinguish between right and wrong?" You can't drag on for the rest of your life without taking a stand, right? If you want to express your position, you have to choose, whether to stand on the side of the daughter-in-law or on the side of the mother? ”

He Shun took a sip of wine and asked Heping with a smile: "Then which side do you want to stand on?" ”

Peace said: "In all fairness, although the daughter-in-law has a lot of things, most of the time she is reasonable. And now that the times are developing so fast, many conceptual problems are not only the differences between daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law, but also the differences between the elderly and young people. I'm just sometimes embarrassed to say that in fact, many of our mother's practices are outdated, and they are indeed not very good for children. ”

He Shun said: "There is no way to distinguish right from wrong in housework. If you look at your daughter-in-law, your mother will definitely not be happy. She is so old, how many years can she ask us to be filial? The daughter-in-law is her own, and the future will be long, so let her endure it first, and then slowly compensate her later. ”

Peace said: "You can't say that. The daughter-in-law is her own, so she has to hurt well. The person who wants to live with you for the rest of your life in the future has to be your daughter-in-law. ”

He Shun frowned and said, "Who told you not to love your daughter-in-law?" Hurt daughter-in-law to hurt daughter-in-law, filial piety is filial piety! To each his own. ”

Peace said, "How can every man be his own?" It's often entangled and can't be opened. When the two are facing each other, who are you facing? to the mother, the daughter-in-law is wronged; To the daughter-in-law, can the mother do? You see, last time, because the mother didn't feed the milk powder well, the child had to go for a gastroscopy. I said to your brother and sister Mom, what happened to our Mom? At that time, I ran home from the hospital. I heard my sister-in-law say that when I got home, I dropped my father's wine glass. The next morning, the breath was still down. But you really can't rely on your daughter-in-law for this, right? ”

He Shun drank half a glass of wine in one gulp, smacked his lips and said, "Anyway, a man should be like a man." The reputation of an unfilial son cannot be carried back! ”

Heping shook his head: "If you keep thinking like this, your sister-in-law will definitely have an opinion." ”

Heshun sighed and said, "Can't I be doubly good to her?" ”

Heping shook his head again, he originally followed his brother out to express his feelings and solve the knots, but his own problem was not solved, but his brother's problem was also hooked out. Moreover, he felt that although his brother's problem was not as intense as he showed it, it was actually much deeper and more difficult to solve. His problem, the worst result is that Wen Jun and his mother finally turned their faces, and they moved out as a young couple. Although it will be difficult for him to do it at that time, and it will take a long time and a lot of energy to heal the rift with his parents, it is still possible to solve it after all, and it will not have a huge impact on the trajectory of his life. And my brother's problem, if it is allowed to develop, I am afraid that the consequences will be much more serious. But he didn't know how to persuade his brother, and he was still too busy to take care of himself, and he didn't know how to face the new day.
