The door opened. The crack in the door showed one of the eldest brother's wary eyes. He said, "Is that you?" What are you here to do? ”

I said, "I heard that you are sick, come and see how you are doing, and send you some porridge with shepherd's cabbage." Picked especially for you on the road today. ”

The door creaked open. The guarded look on the eldest brother's face softened a little. He said, "Especially for me?" It's true? ”

I said, "Oh, big brother, don't let me in, it's coming from the kitchen, and I'm about to lose it." ”

Jing Yun glanced at me and reached out to take the tray and porridge bowl. He said, "Let someone bring it over, and be careful to burn yourself." I said, "Only when you bring it in person can you be sincere." ”

The eldest brother sat at the table, drinking porridge spoonful by spoonful.

I watched him from the sidelines. He took a spoonful and looked at me.

I asked, "What does it taste like?" I boiled it myself. ”

He said, "Really? ”

I nodded and said, "Of course it's true." I've been in the kitchen for a long time. If you don't believe me, go to the kitchen and ask. ”

He sneered: "Maybe you boiled it yourself, for your sake, I drank it all." Don't try to lie to me, though. He called you, right? ”

I shook my head. Jingyun said: "We are so familiar, you can't hide what you think in your heart." If it had been your own idea, you wouldn't have come alone. ”

I don't speak. He snorted. He said, "You really do everything to him!" ”

I couldn't help but say, "He asked me to come and see you." No one has any ill will towards you. He cares about you very much, and he didn't come here because he was afraid that you didn't want to see him. ”

The eldest brother stopped, reached out and pushed the porridge bowl away. He said: "The mention of him makes me nauseous, and I can't eat this porridge." You bite him by bite. Look in the mirror and see the look on your face when you mention him! As soon as you talk about him, the whole person is shining! Is he that charming? How many days has he been with you for more than ten years? How many days have I been with you? But you've never done this for me! ”

I sighed. I said, "Big brother, you're really sick and confused." The eldest brother said, "I'm not sick!" I'm heartache! The world is so unfair. Some people are born with everything, while some are born with nothing. ”

I said, "But you don't have nothing." For so many years, you stayed with your parents, enjoying your father's teachings and your mother's love, while he grew up alone in Qingchuan. ”

The eldest brother sneered: "What's the point of that. As long as he comes back, whenever he comes back, as long as he comes back, all of this is his. I'm just his watchdog, and all the things I've worked so hard to help my father over the years are just guarding over him. ”

I said, "You are brothers." He didn't treat you badly, and he didn't mean anything harmful. Why do you hate him so much? The eldest brother said, "Yes! I hate him! Because he is the son of that woman! He said, "You don't understand this." Since my father was 12 years old, my mother has served him, taking care of his food and daily life, cold, hot, sick, tired, it is my mother who serves him. My mother and father are the ones who really grew up together, and they are really in love. All the elders in the family had nothing to say about my mother's performance over the years, and it was with the unanimous permission of all the elders that my mother became my father's concubine. After the mother married the father, the husband sang with the wife, loving and beautiful. But, that woman, as soon as she came, she took everything from my mother! She is young, she is noble, she is the main room, she plays the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is beautiful. She charmed her father. My father completely forgot about my mother! The eldest brother said, "Every morning, I see my mother get up early, greet her, and serve her and my father for breakfast. While she was having dinner with her father, my mother was left standing on one side and didn't even have a seat! My mother always smiled and silently accepted all this, but do you know how much pain she felt in her heart? But have you ever seen her tears when she is alone in the empty room? ”

I said, "But what did he do wrong in this?" What did he do wrong to you? Moreover, the lady died after only living in this house for a short time. Over the years, my mother has always been by my father's side, and it is no different from the past. The eldest brother said, "He is wrong that he should not have been born here at all!" If he hadn't been born here, everything here would have been Mother and mine sooner or later! It's him! He had to be born here and took away everything that should have belonged to us! Why didn't he die with his short-lived mom?! ”

I was so frightened by my eldest brother's words that my face turned white.

Just then, the door slammed open. You show up at the door.

The eldest brother looked at you, opened his mouth for a while, and couldn't close it.

You stand in the doorway and stare at Big Brother for a while. You lift your leg over the threshold and walk into the house.

The eldest brother's face turned white. He took a few steps backwards and retreated to the corner, as far away from you as possible. He looks at you and says, "You, what do you want to do?" ”

You look at Big Brother. You say, "I don't want to do anything." Just wanted to tell you that I was born here and have grown up alive to this size. It can't be changed. ”

The eldest brother looked at you and felt that you didn't look like you were going to take action against him, so he became a little bolder. He said, "You are so despicable! Let her trick me and hide outside and eavesdrop! ”

"Big brother!" I couldn't help but want to say something. You raise your hand and signal me not to speak.

You say, "I asked her to come and see if you were better, and I didn't let her take your words." You said those words yourself, and no one deceived you. I didn't eavesdrop either. It's just that I saw that she hadn't come back for so long, so I didn't worry about coming over to take a look. You're saying it's just too loud. I stood under the porch, and I couldn't do it if I didn't want to listen. You look into Jing Yun's eyes, and you say, "There's a reason why I'm not worried about my sister." Big brother, you know this very well. ”

The eldest brother's face slowly rose to the color of eggplant. He snorted and stopped talking.

You say, "Big brother, it doesn't matter how you hate me or what you say about me." However, my mother is my father's wife, your mother-in-law, and you can't talk about her in public in such a tone. Please keep your respect for my mother. I'm not going to tell my father what you said today. But you'd better stop talking nonsense. ”

Big brother turns his head away and doesn't make eye contact with you.

You say, "With such a loud voice, it seems that the eldest brother is fine." Since the eldest brother is fine, we will leave, you have a good rest. ”

You reach out and hold me. Together, we walked out the door.
