Chapter 28: The Past (I)

Many years ago, there was such a family in Xiejia Village, Shangshui Street, Yixiang District, Anzhou City. The father of the head of the household had been in business for many years, but he left a large fortune after his death. The head of the household kept a low profile and never liked to squander money, so the son inherited his father's business and became a businessman to continue his business. Since the 80s of the last century, the Xie Group has been known to almost everyone in Yixiang District. Social development, the country's prosperity, new enterprises have sprung up after a rain, although Xie Group has been impacted, but it still occupies a very high position in the ranking of enterprise strength in Yixiang District. This is of course thanks to the wise decision of the current chairman of the Hsieh Group and his wife.

The chairman of the Hsieh Group has two sons. The eldest son is thirteen years old and named Xie Tianwen. The youngest son is eight years old and named Xie Changge. Xie Tianwen has been fond of literature since he was a child, and his poems and songs are catchy. Xie Changge has been gifted and intelligent since he was a child, and he is eccentric and endearing. In the eyes of others, Chairman Xie's two sons are geniuses, but in the eyes of Chairman Xie, he prefers his eldest son Xie Tianwen, after all, Father Xie is a person who loves literature.

At the age of thirteen, Xie Tianwen is already a handsome young man. At the age of eight, Xie Changge is still the naughty child with a cute face. The same family, the same upbringing, due to the preferences of their parents and the life they experienced, the personalities of the two brothers changed in different directions. As the eldest son, Xie Tianwen knows that he is shouldering the burden of inheriting the family business, and as a junior high school student, he continues his literary cultivation on the one hand, and accepts more life knowledge, economic knowledge, and business knowledge on the other hand. As a result, Xie Tianwen gradually built his own interpersonal network, and he can be regarded as a small social person. As for Xie Changge, he wanted to get more attention from his parents and become more naughty, but the result backfired and he was often blamed by his parents. Xie Changge didn't know what hatred was, he only knew that he was angry, so he put forward his opinions to his parents. Xie Changge's parents naturally went in and out of the left ear, saying "We won't favor anyone", but in action, they often praised Xie Tianwen for being talented - everyone said that Xie Tianwen was talented, so Xie Tianwen was naturally a talented person. This is also the case, Xie Changge cannot tamper with it.

"Brother, don't you like me?" Sitting on the bench, Xie Changge looked at his brother next to him, tears already overflowing in his bright eyes.

"How come," Xie Tianwen said to him tenderly, as he approached his brother and held him in his arms, "everyone likes you." ”

"But everyone said my brother was smart, but they never said I was smart. Xie Changge pursed his lips and said.

"Speaking of intelligence, brother, you are talented and intelligent, and I just follow the trend and want to share a little more for my parents as much as possible. "Thank God asking what he really thinks.

"Then," Xie Changge pushed his brother away and said to him, "Brother, tell everyone that you are not the smartest, I am the smartest." ”

Xie Changge looked at his younger brother's eyes and agreed with a wry smile: "Okay." ”

Xie Changge's little trick has worked: Xie Father Xie Mother and Xie Tianwen are not as close as before. Although some people still said to Xie's father and mother when they walked outside, "Your eldest son is really capable", but Xie's father and mother just smiled and thanked him hastily. Xie Changge was overjoyed, so he tried to be a good boy to make his parents happy. Every morning, Xie Changge didn't wait for his parents to call the bed, so he consciously got up and dressed and washed. Mom and Dad made breakfast, Xie Changge sat in the seat first than his brother, and said to Mom and Dad, "Mom and Dad have worked hard." Xie Changge felt that he still had to do something for his parents, so he tried to wash the dishes after meals and do his own laundry. Unfortunately, Xie Changge didn't master the method, squeezed too much dish soap and couldn't wash the dishes, and then put too much laundry detergent to make himself full of bubbles.

Xie Changge's behavior was naturally severely criticized by his parents: "Changge, Changge, can't you learn from your brother?"

"My brother is stupid, and he's not smart. Xie Changge retorted dissatisfiedly.

"I think you're a fool. Xie Changge's mother said.

"My brother is really not smart, you go and ask him. ”

Xie Changge's father came over and said to Xie Changge: "Changge, don't make trouble. Your brother is studying business with his father, and he has to prepare for junior high school, so he doesn't have time to debate such boring things. ”

The young Xie Changge's heart was cold: Didn't my brother promise me to tell my parents that only I am the smartest?

"Only I'm the smartest, and my brother is stupid. ”

"It doesn't matter if you're smart or not, children are good children when they are obedient. If you're so disobedient, you're a bad boy who isn't smart. ”

Xie Changge listened to his mother's words and no longer refutated, his heart was full of resentment towards his brother. At night, Xie Changge waited for Xie Tianwen to return to the room, and then picked up his pillow and smashed it at him.

"Changge, what's wrong?" Xie Tianwen, who was smashed, picked up the pillow and returned it to his younger brother.

"Don't come here, go away!"

Thank God for knowing what his brother was angry about. He kept his promise and said to his parents, "My brother is a good boy who is smart and smart." At that time, his parents replied to him, "Of course we do", so Xie Tianwen thought that his brother could always be happy now, so he didn't think about it anymore.

"Unless you have a conflict with your parents and stop helping your parents do things, I will ignore you anymore. Xie Changge was angry, picked up his pillow and threw it at Xie Tianwen, but Xie Tianwen easily caught it.

"Changge, don't make trouble. Mom and Dad are busy with work, and as children, they should help them share a little. I grew up and had no reason to refuse my mom and dad's request. You're still a kid......"

"Hmph, you're only five years older than me, and you're a child. ”

Xie Tianwen smiled bitterly: "I'm already in junior high school, but you're still in elementary school." ”

"Junior high school is amazing. You wait and see me skip a grade ahead of you. ”

"Okay, good," as the elder brother, Xie Tian asked how to let his younger brother extinguish the fire when he was angry, "Changge, you are super good." So, if your brother takes you to the playground on the weekend, you won't be angry, okay?"

"You think I'm stupid, I'll go if you tell me to go?" Xie Changge was still a little moved, but he couldn't just admit defeat.

"That'...... After the playground, let's go eat burgers?"

"Explain in advance that my pocket money is useful to me. ”

"Okay," Xie Tianwen said with a smile as he looked at his brother, who was five years younger than him, "Do you think my brother took you out to play and used your pocket money?"

"This time it might be. Xie Changge's squinting eyes amused Xie Tianwen.

"My brother promised you that my brother would never touch your pocket money. ”

This little agreement, Xie Tianwen has always abided by.

There are seven sins, and jealousy is one of them. Hate does not arise suddenly, it must have antecedents and consequences. Adults will hate, and so will children. It's just that children's hatred is often quickly forgotten by themselves, while adult's hatred will continue to pass on to the next generation and the next life. Hate builds up over time. If the hatred that erupts at a certain moment is caused by a long-term accumulation through a fuse, this hatred will not be extinguished. If death is used to counteract it, hatred will lead to more hatred, and finally repentance. I can't reach it, and I regret it. It is often said that there is no regret medicine in the world. In this case, why is there still so much hatred in the world that has been passed down from generation to generation?

On the weekend, Xie Tianwen brought his younger brother Xie Changge to the playground. On this day, two acquaintances were at the playground - the sister and sister of the two brothers' mothers were playing in the playground with their children.

The first person to see the two brothers was my mother's sister. She came up and asked the two brothers in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Tianwen and Changge, today you came to play in the playground, where did your mother go, how could she leave her children alone and just care about herself and desperately make money?"

The two brothers' mothers also work for the Hsieh Group and are the general managers of the head office. Everyone says that behind a successful man there is always a woman who pays silently, and the mother of the two brothers is such a woman. In the more than ten years since she has been married to Chairman Xie, Xie's mother has been wholeheartedly thinking about Xie's Group, and has paid off the 200,000 yuan she got from her work when she was young to pay off his father's debts. Even though 200,000 yuan is not enough to pay off the debts owed by the Xie Group due to the losses caused by economic development, this friendship will not be forgotten by Xie's father throughout his life. The depth of the relationship between Xie's father and mother is well known throughout the Xie Group, and the story of the two of them who worked tirelessly for three days and three nights to complete the company's wonderful plan for revival has become a good story in the Xie Group.

People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. When the Xie group almost fell, the relatives of Xie's father and mother were only talking on paper, and no one provided them with actual help. When the Xie Group once again became an important conglomerate in Yixiang District, the relatives of the two were as flattering as before. Father and Mother Xie knew that their relatives had bad intentions, but they didn't say it explicitly. However, the two were determined not to borrow money easily from their relatives, which made their relatives start talking about the two behind their backs.

"Auntie, my mom has a busy job, so I'll take my brother over the weekend. Xie Tianwen said with a smile.

"It's a rare weekend, and I have to work hard, so I don't have much money. There was sarcasm in his tone.

"Auntie, you're so good, bring your brother to the playground to play. Xie Changge waved his hand to greet his aunt's son, but the other party turned a blind eye.

"Of course. Hearing the praise, the aunt of the two brothers was still quite happy.

"My mom said she was going to take us abroad next time she was going to play. Auntie loves her brother so much, she must take her brother to play abroad, right?" Xie Changge smiled and continued to wave to his aunt's son, but the other party had no intention of accosting him.

"Well, of course. ”

Stealing a glimpse of his aunt's shift of gaze, Xie Changge shouted to his cousin: "Brother, my aunt said that she will take you abroad to play next vacation!"

Xie Changge's words were like a spell, luring his aunt's son over.

"Mom, really?"

"When, of course it's ......"

"Of course it's true. Xie Changge preemptively said it before his aunt finished speaking.

At this time, the sister-in-law of the two brothers and the only daughter of the sister-in-law also came over.

"Are you really going to take your son abroad?" the brothers' aunt knew her sister's financial situation.

I saw the aunt of the two brothers leaning over to the aunt and whispering something. Xie Changge, who had sharp ears, had already leaned over and heard his aunt say, "I'm joking, don't take it seriously." ”

"Hey-" Xie Changge deliberately said out loud, "It turns out that Auntie is joking." After speaking, Xie Changge walked over and grabbed his cousin's hand and said, "Brother, don't be sad." Next vacation, my mom and dad will take you and go abroad with us. ”

The cousins of the two brothers shook off Xie Changge's hand and said angrily: "Whoever wants you to bring it, we have money." With that, he glared at his mother, and then walked away without turning his head.

Xie Changge's aunt called her son's name and followed, leaving the two brothers. Xie Changge's aunt secretly sneered, and after noticing the sight of the two brothers, she also left with her daughter.

"Long song, you can't lie. Xie Tianwen said to his brother.

"Brother, you're too scumbag. Auntie made it clear that she was targeting our mother, why do you still have to talk to them honestly?"

"In short, lying just doesn't work. Once a person has lied, he will keep telling it. ”

Thinking about why such a stupid brother would be so pampered by his parents, but his smart self was always scolded by his parents, Xie Changge pouted and left his brother.

"Changge, don't go so fast. "Thank God to keep up with his brother.

In the evening, when Xie Changge took a bath and planned to say goodnight to his father, when he walked to his father's study at home, Xie Changge heard what his parents, mother and brother were talking about in the study.

"Did he really say that?" Xie Changge's father asked.

"Yes. Thank God asked.

"Integrity is the foundation of life. Even if it's someone you hate, you can't say that, and you want to embarrass them, not to mention that the other party is still your aunt. Xie Changge's father said.

"However, what the aunt said was really harsh. Thank God asked.

"She's your brother's aunt and my sister. Your brother said this, there is no distinction between the young and the old, and maybe even our two parents will not be taken into account in the future. ”

"Why, my brother is very well-behaved. ”

"It would be nice if he were so obedient and sensible as you. Father Xie said.

"yes, if he had been so obedient as you, the two of us wouldn't have broken our hearts for him. Xie Mu said.

"By the way, Mom and Dad, let me ask you a question. ”

"Say it. ”

"My name is Tianwen, why is my brother's name Changge?"

"What's going on?" Father Xie asked rhetorically.

"Speaking of 'Tianwen', I naturally think of Qu Yuan's "Lisao" and "Nine Songs", but my younger brother is neither called Xie Lisao nor Xie Jiuge, but Xie Changge. Is there any reason for this?"

"What's the reason," Father Xie smiled, "Is there anything wrong with calling Changge?"

"When I think of long songs, the most famous should be Bai Juyi's "Long Hate Song". It doesn't matter, does it?"

Mother Xie smiled: "It's worthy of being my son, it's so sharp." Your father did want to name your brother Xie Jiuge, but he was too happy to remember it wrong, so he gave your brother Xie Changge the name. It's not bad to think about long songs, at least "Long Hate Song" is famous. In fact, your father wants your brother to grow up to be a famous person in the future. ”

"But being famous isn't all good. Moreover, although "Song of Long Hatred" is famous, there is a "hate" in the words "long" and "song". Give the 'long song' to my brother, and it will always be ......"

"Just a name. Father Xie said.

"yes, don't bother with it, God. Xie Mu agreed.

"Since it comes to "Song of Long Hatred", God asks, read it out and listen to it. Father Xie said to his son.

A voice came from the study, a father and a mother listening to their son's wonderful chanting.

Outside the study, the other son of the Xie couple turned and left. He gritted his teeth, his eyeballs bloodshot. Tears flowed down one by one, and hatred built up little by little. He didn't understand what hatred was. Now, he feels this heart-piercing feeling.

Back in the room, Xie Changge stood in front of his and his brother's bunk beds, and said coldly: "Brother, it's good if you're not there." "Don't forget the latest chapter of the "Don't Forget the Blessing and Claw Book House of the Past in the Past" is free to read for the first time.
