23: Undelivered letter to my brother
Lisa, a foreign friend brought by his father to his younger brother, made dumplings stuffed with pork and leeks.
My father also cooked two dishes himself, both of which were his brother's favorite dishes.
Seeing that my brother ate very deliciously, the little pot friend of Lisa from a foreign country also ate and praised his father's skills again and again, you must know that his father's small restaurant is not open for nothing.
The father suddenly broke the silence.
"After eating this dumpling, you can go back to Beijing, this side of the family is not bigger than yours, and there is nothing fun to do, just go back and work hard, there is me and your sister at home, you don't have to worry." The father pursed his lips and said, without raising his head.
"Dad, look at you, if I don't go home, you think I don't think about it, but I'm back, you let me go to work hard, I finally have a vacation, you just let me stay longer, right, sister." The younger brother glanced at Zhao.
Zhao looked for it and understood his brother's intentions.
"That's right, Dad, you just let my brother stay a few more days, it just so happens that I'm fine these days, you can take Lisa out for a walk, their children from the big city are here to find a place very novel, and I miss my brother too." Zhao Xun cleverly followed his brother's words.
"Don't sing and harmonize, I don't know what you think about it, okay, that's it."
The helpless younger brother and Zhao Xun couldn't resist their father's repeated insistence, so the younger brother had to wipe his mouth after eating and then leave.
In fact, my father didn't want my brother to go, and when he said these words, my father didn't know how many tears had in his eyes.
Zhao Xun actually knew clearly in his heart that compared with her, his father liked his younger brother more.
Although we are now living in a new era, ah, in a small town and county like them, the idea of patriarchy is still very deep-rooted.
In the minds of the older generation, the son is a family, and the girl will be someone else's family after she gets married, and she can't be collected like water spilled.
It is said that it is "getting on the car dumplings and getting off the noodles", and my father's intention is obviously on paper.
The younger brother actually understands in his heart that his father is going to drive him away, and his father hopes that he can explain to Lisa as soon as possible, so that he can cut off contact, but don't delay other girls.
But how could his younger brother not have his own ideas, and of course he wouldn't have listened to his father's words and said Secoup to Lisa when he went back.
After the younger brother said goodbye to his father and sister, he took Lisa away, and his father brought his brother some souvenirs from the family, although there was nothing valuable, but it was all his father's heart.
It is said that the mother is worried, and the mother is not worried, but what he said is really right, no, the younger brother did not go home at all, not only did he not return to Beijing, but he was also ready to take Lisa to Beidaihe to play.
(Beidaihe: Located in the jurisdiction of Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, it is named after Beidaihe, a famous seaside scenic spot and a world-famous bird-watching holy place. )
The younger brother told Lisa about the naming of Beidaihe, its origin, and its customs.
With beautiful sandy beaches, oceans, safaris, and irresistible local food, this is truly a place you won't want to leave once you're here.
Lisa especially likes this place, she thinks it is exactly like the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland described in books and TV.
The younger brother was going to play here for a few days and then go back, so they found a very atmospheric hotel and stayed there.
Lisa was born in Seattle, but when she was about 10 years old, her parents moved to Beijing, China for work reasons, and she liked Chinese culture very much since she was a child, so she also settled down with her parents.
Lisa's memory of Seattle is really very small, only remember that it is really a wonderful place, the rainy days in Seattle are really unpredictable, the sky may still be clear in the first few minutes, and it may be pouring rain in another minute, which is somewhat similar to the city she lives in now, the summer in Beijing.
She finished middle school and college in Beijing, and now she and her younger brother have a cooperative relationship at work, they met at a company's annual meeting, they talked about the country, talked about youth, and the future, and talked to each other specially, so they added WeChat to each other.
Although Lisa is a foreign girl, she is a Chinese in her bones, speaking Mandarin, eating with chopsticks, and eating whole grains, basically about to be assimilated.
Because Lisa's parents have been busy with work since she was a child, they always left her alone at home and at school, which has created her own loneric character in the long run, and with the improvement of her own self-care ability, so in our native language, she is also half a strong woman.
No, I met my brother again, so the two hit it off, Lisa likes Chinese culture, and is naturally full of countless curiosity about her brother, and my brother is full of infinite curiosity about unknown things, for two young people of school age who are unmarried and I are unmarried, it is imperative to have mutual affection.
talked about work, talked about life, and then became a flirtatious sister and a flirtatious man......
The younger brother has never been in love, and this is the younger brother's first love.
Of course, he didn't ask Lisa about her past, and his brother felt that there was no need to know what her life was like in the past, especially when it came to falling in love.
The good-looking skins are the same, and the interesting soul is one in a thousand, and my brother thinks that Lisa is the one in a thousand souls.
And for a pampered little public like Lisa, who never worries about eating, drinking, and lazing, she has never disliked her brother at all, including going home this time, Lisa did not lose her temper with her brother because she said yes, what her father's attitude was, maybe she looked down on her brother's family background.
The younger brother thinks this is very valuable, Lisa is really a good boy, she is really different from other girls, he can assure God that Lisa is a good girl!
Because he thinks that life must be looked forward, since you are not involved in other people's past, you have no right to point fingers, he doesn't know if he is right to think like this.
But this is my brother's outlook on life and love!
This was all said by her brother on the phone later. (Zhao Xun said)
Zhao Xun said that if she knew that this would be the case, she would definitely tell her brother what you should do and how to do it, because she wanted her brother to be good, very good, and good.
The younger brother is her parent, even the only one.
After the younger brother and Lisa returned to Beijing, the younger brother rented a house for Lisa near the Third Ring Road, before the younger brother has been sharing a house with others in the same city of 5,8, plus the water and electricity bills a month, it is 500 yuan, although the environment is a little worse, but it is closer to the unit, you can save a lot of money, and then save it.
But Lisa didn't want to live with strangers, and then her brother had no choice but to ask someone to rent a whole house, about 5,000 yuan a month, the environment is not particularly good, but it is not bad for an office worker, mainly Lisa is satisfied.
The younger brother said that if he suffers, he can't be bitter with the woman who follows him.
Zhao Xun thought that although his younger brother was his father's biological son, fortunately, his younger brother was a good man, he knew how to take responsibility, he knew how to take responsibility, and he was different from his father.
The two of them don't work together, and they have to take several subways to get to the company every day, but before they part every morning, Lisa always "kisses goodbye" and hugs her brother, and everyone is very envious of their younger brother and their little couple.
Lisa can't cook, but she is willing to eat at home, she doesn't have a good stomach, and she is always prone to bad stomach when she eats outside restaurants or orders takeout.
Every day, no matter how late they go back, my brother will always cook and make soup, and I won't let Lisa go hungry or eat anything she doesn't want to eat.
Later, his younger brother opened his salary, and because of his outstanding performance, he also took a small bonus, so he bought Lisa a new mobile phone, an iPhone.
Lisa was so happy, although her family was not bad for money, but after all, it was given by the man she liked, and she was still very happy in her heart, so she hugged her brother in the Apple experience store and kissed her brother several times.
A few big red lips on his face attracted the envious eyes of many men.
But they only have to look and think about it, and only the younger brother can get this blessing.
The first time I met the taste of love, my brother thought it was sweet.
Soft.
Happy.
The younger brother still used the Huawei mobile phone that his sister bought for him when he was in college, and he said that this mobile phone was easy to use, and he was too lazy to pour out the things inside after using it for a long time, and it was troublesome, not to mention that he was reluctant to throw away the things that his sister bought for him.
He wanted to carry it with him for the rest of his life.
The younger brother went to Beijing, and with Lisa by his side, he also started his new life, and the time to see his sister became less and less.
There is always an encounter in life, but there are always countless times of love.
There is always a separation in life, but there are always countless separations.
Although every time my father asked my brother on the phone how he was doing with Lisa, whether he had broken contact or something like that, my brother always shirked on the phone.
So my brother often told my sister to ask her to help me talk to my father and get him to agree that he could be with Lisa.
In fact, Zhao Xun also asked his younger brother why he was with Zhao Xun and liked her because he was good-looking.
The younger brother couldn't answer every time, but the older sister saw a look of hope in the younger brother's eyes.
However, my sister hopes that you will be happy forever.
But my sister never told my brother these words, and she felt that it was too sensual and hypocritical.
