Chapter 162: Brother
In this world, no one who has ever had a brother will never understand.
It's as if you can't find two leaves that are exactly the same in this world, even if they are identical twins, there will be differences, especially if we are not.
Once, we were surrounded by warmth, harsh, considerate, jealous, aided, evasive, dependent、...... It is a mosaic of the overlapping life.
We chase, we reverse, we turn upside down, we lose our original appearance.
Gradually I can't see clearly, or never see clearly, those one-sided intimacy, and those one-sided duels.
Through the "long future", the collapse is very clear in silence, and I find that the difference over the years is getting farther and farther away, and the "brotherly love" between you and me has been unconsciously consumed to the point that there is not much left.
If I can sue you, I'm actually really happy to be your denominator, because you are my brother and I am your brother.
We are brothers forever.

At the Montgomery family, there are some things that don't see the light of day.
Something beautiful on the outside, there is always a little fragile dark wound on the inside.
For example, talent.
The Montgomerys, who are at the forefront of the medical profession, care deeply about such ethereal things, and they are confident that their family's century-long glory will become an eternal miracle as it is passed on from generation to generation.
However, just like the probability of genetics, these strict rational thoughts, which have been continuously verified and passed down by predecessors, are obviously the areas that Montgomeries are best at mastering, but they seek an eternity that is opposed, and it turns out that the best people will also be superstitious because of the common ideas of hoping for Jackie Chan, and it has to be said that no matter how superior they are, they still can't escape the mammalian instinct.
Under the excellent cultivation of their parents, they were born to be admired by thousands of people, and naturally they must not let the glory of the family be tormented by their own hands.
Therefore, even if something like talent cannot be passed on to eternity because of bloodline, they intend to pretend to be crazy and stupid and deny it all.
It's just that it should be really crazy and stupid, which distorts the warmth and destroys everything.
Because talent can be faked.
Even before they started school, the brothers' lives had already begun to change dramatically.
After a few small attempts on the young children, it soon became clear that the sons had not inherited much of their parents' abilities, and that under the disgust and disgust were countless cruel education and the threat of various punishments.
Day and night form a cycle of cramped space, more than the child can bear, trying to achieve it in one fell swoop will naturally fail, and soon the couple in the name of busyness only cares about the result, not the process.
"Our requirements are very clear, don't do what you should achieve, one failure is an eternal failure, if you fail, get out of here, don't tell others that you are from the Montgomery family."
It was the only word that my parents delivered at the dinner table the evening before I started school, when my brother was five years old and my brother was five years old.
"Brother." Francis barged in his brother's room just before the lights went out.
"It's bedtime now." He has his own set of biological clocks.
"Will we be in the same class tomorrow?"
"I don't care."
"But I have a point, I want to be with my brother."
The five-year-old brother smiled innocently and purely, but in the eyes of the brother, who was also five years old, he was sneered at as childish and stupid.
Reality fulfilled the younger brother's thoughts, and the two were in the same class.
It's just that in the placement test, the elder brother is the first in the whole grade, and the younger brother is barely squeezed into this special excellent class with the last place in the class.
Although it is also an enviable achievement for the whole grade, it is already a sure failure.
The elder brother took the initiative to observe his younger brother rarely, but found that he seemed to be out of touch with reality, and his spirit was completely unmoved.
Didn't he know how great the anger from his parents would be?
At that time, in the eyes of the elder brother, the younger brother was synonymous with stupidity.
But he didn't know that Francis was really happy to be in the same class as his brother, and he could laugh out loud even if he came home with a punishment that made his eyes black and his scalp tingle.
It's good to be together, and this kind of price is not to be feared.
And he, with a cold attitude to care about his younger brother, is only occasional, and things like the heart of leisure should not occupy too much life.
Throughout elementary school and even middle school and beyond, the elder brother was the first in 10,000 years, and the younger brother was always at the bottom of the class.
Long-term failure became the inevitable development of habit, and I don't know if it was a rebellious way of Francis, these things were not at all important in the eyes of the brother of the brilliant gifted student, but the only thing that made him unclear was the attitude of his parents.
I don't know if it's a broken jar, but in addition to the various punishments imposed by the parents at the beginning, the more they go on, the less they care about Francis's failure, and then gradually they become resigned.
Only for him, for the eldest son who will inherit the family after all, he is cruel to every detail.
At that time, he told himself that he was the only son who could make his parents proud.
But the development of the lives of the two people is too dramatic, which is also a kind of fate, a kind of mirage of defeat and defeat is destined to be boundless.

"Be good friends with the Montgomery kids."
-- Mom and Dad reminded that almost all the children at the same time had this kind of brainwashing education.
With the idea of obeying his parents and looking at the two legendary "Montgomery children", both boys are very handsome.
It's just a plain without ups and downs, and a spring mountain is like a smile.
However, they are only single-digit children, so they are confused about their parents' intentions.
Why do you have to be friends with them?
Isn't everyone the same, with one head, two arms and two legs?
The already sleek and sophisticated heart is often easy to be fooled, adults think they are preemptive and have a long-term vision, and all kinds of calculations and arrangements are in vain because the children are still children's age.
At that time, in the eyes of the children, Francis, who had a big personality, was better suited as a friend than his brother, who had nothing to do with everything but himself, and although there was some element of compromise in this, it was also a fulfillment of the task assigned by the parents to the children.
No one has ever cared why the two brothers look like brothers but have no similarities, and they are the same age when they are at least a year apart but are in the same grade.
It doesn't go on so smoothly, and the older brother who stands out from the crowd laughs at every exam with judging power, even if it is not enough in the eyes of his parents, but is attracted to other parents, and this naturally attracts more jealousy and verbal attacks from fellow competitors.
So although he has a dazzling halo of success on his head, in the eyes of his younger brother, his brother's life at school is not easy.
Forever the first in 10,000 years, for the first time, he tasted the gravity of "unbearable cold in high places", and he himself was not very moved.
For the first time in his life, Francis was afraid, and he would not be afraid even in the face of punishment, not because of the sorrow from the outside world, but because of the fact that his brother did not bother to be angry at all.
Even if he ignored his own failures and worried that his brother had reached the point of selflessness, he could not change his arrogant and overly optimistic nature.
My brother is so good, how can my brother, who has been tempered and knows everything, need to worry about himself?
So, it wasn't until the end that he realized that the two brothers had never stayed up all night talking about everything, because he had always felt that he had nothing to hide.
Unbeknownst to Francis, there was such a thing as emotional intelligence, especially within the dark Montgomery family, which was a word that would not be mentioned even if it was moldy.
****
I remember one of the most profound things, my brother can do two things.
He often memorized the theory of relativity while listening to English words, which was popular for a long time throughout the grade, and the boys tried to follow suit, and the girls were haunted like nymphomaniacs, and later, when he realized that only his brother could do it alone, this unconsciously contributed to another great talent of the proud son of the sky.
Brother, his brother is so good, so good that he is amazing, although he never looks at him properly.
****
There is no lower limit to the human heart, and this is the only thing that Francis remembered to the end of what he learned in school.
After the era when the psychology of "lingering" disappeared quickly and exaggeratedly, the children faded away from the simple layer of youth that could be broken by blowing bombs, and set off an inevitable battle for themselves.
Whoever can do it lightly and skillfully will probably become the next leader.
And the only way is to first get close to this long-standing leader.
Just like that, he suddenly turned around, and all the people around him quietly developed in the opposite direction.
Everyone arched to my brother's side with the gimmick of friendship, and I was a little bit scorned, and I almost never saved it in my brother's eyes, but everyone is like an iron sheet, whether you accept it or not, at least I showed you loyalty.
Francis rubbed his head, why would Dadu have such a nonchalant attitude?
And he actually doesn't care about other people's hot and cold to him, even if he knows that he has already become the most popular tool for others to flatter his brother.
There is no need to go hand in hand, there is no other vicious thought, and he wants to be the denominator under the numerator, Francis has no heart and no lungs for self-imagination, but he forgets that his gifted brother is an ordinary flesh and blood, and does not know those seemingly psychic mind readings.
At this point, the lives of the two people are in some senses.
It's just, is it really flat?
Unilateral, the lack of communication will cause countless unilateralities, understand this simple and understandable truth, the elder brother and younger brother paid the price of blood. R1152
