Lao Pang has become a celebrity in Tunzi, he is not like the one he played on TV, and it is not easy for those who have been released from prison to start a family. On the contrary, there are many more people who introduce objects to Lao Pang than before, and those who come to talk about matchmaking are about to break the threshold.

I stayed at home for a summer vacation, and when I was leaving, my mother told me that they had almost bought onions, and they might have to go to Guanli with the car in the next few days, and if it went well, they might be able to return in a month, and if it didn't go well, it would take about 2~3 months. Mom also said that my aunt's family moved from Jinshan Coal Mine to Guangyi Coal Mine, and my aunt contracted a small pit in Guangyi Coal Mine, and found someone to bring a letter to him, saying that he wanted Dad to help, and my father walked with me when I started school, and the county seat where I studied high school was just in the middle of Guangyi Coal Mine and my family, and the day before school started, I took a car with my dad to the town first, and then took a bus from the town to the county seat where I went to high school, and then Dad took a bus to my aunt's house alone.

When we went to the town and waited for the bus to go to the county seat at the bus station, I saw my bicycle parked in front of the game hall next to the bus station, the bicycle was ridden away from home by my brother this morning, he started school a day earlier than me, this time is not yet noon, he should be at school, how can he park the bicycle at the door of the game hall? I walked into the game hall, my brother was standing in front of a large game console, skillfully fiddling with the joystick, I was standing next to him, he felt someone turn his head to look at me, he didn't show surprise, only called brother, and the movement in his hand didn't stop. I asked him, "Aren't you starting school today?" It's not yet noon, so how are you in the arcade? He said: Brother, I'm not going to school for a long time, I really can't afford to lose that person, I'm the oldest in the class, you are 17 years old and have gone to high school, I am 17 years old and just in the first year of junior high school, I think that I will be known by my family sooner or later, sooner or later, when will my family know, I will go home again, and before the family knows it, I will play like this for a day. Hearing him say this, I left a sentence: Our dad is also at the door, you go out after this game, tell him in person, turn around and walk out of the game hall at the same time, I thought to myself, my younger brother is 17 years old, can you have a snack? Haven't you noticed anything wrong with your mother for so long?

I went out first and told my father about my brother's disability from school, and my brother's dropout was expected by the family, and my father was not surprised or angry. When my brother came out of the arcade, his father told him that he would not go to school and would come home to see the house.

The bus to the county came, I followed my father to get on the bus, my feet just stepped on the pedal, and my brother shouted to me in the back: Brother, I understand everything you think in your heart, you go to school hard, you have been going to school outside, you don't know many things, we can't change anything.

I went to the car and sat down with my father, and through the window I saw my brother with his hands in his pockets, his head down and kicking the stones in the ground. I don't know if there are tears in my brother's eyes, I have some sadness, for several years, I have been going to school outside, I don't know a lot of things at home, but what I have always known is that my parents are on the verge of divorce, they go to the police station again and again, the reason why they have not been able to leave is because there is one less catalyst, this time the catalyst is there, that is, Uncle Wang, I have a sixth sense, every time I have a sixth sense will be very accurate, this time the feeling is very strong, I feel that my parents' marriage has come to an end, This family is going to fall apart.

I turned my head to look at my father, who was sitting next to me, his beard was scruffy and his face was full of wrinkles, and I felt a little distressed, for as long as I can remember, I had never been so close to him alone. His hands were full of calluses, his fingers were covered with white tape, I suddenly wanted to touch his hands, I used to hate him very much, I looked down on him very much, he couldn't speak, he couldn't do things, he couldn't handle the neighborhood well, he would die when he saw wine, and he would go crazy when he drank it. I've never heard him complain about a pain in any part of his body, or that he was too tired from work, and that he met a popsicle seller who wanted to eat a popsicle, but he didn't even have a dime on him.

I calmed down and said to my father: This time I went to my aunt's house to help my aunt work, and if you can, don't go down the well, it's too unsafe. Dad, my mom went to sell onions with Uncle Wang this time, and it took so long to go, aren't you worried at all?

Dad said seriously: Your eldest uncle asked me for help, and I won't do anything else, what can I do except go down the well?

I was waiting for my father to answer, he didn't worry about my mother going out with Uncle Wang, but after waiting for a long time, my father didn't answer me.

After being silent for a while, Dad continued: I don't have any great power to let your mother, your brother and you live a good life. This time I'm going to your uncle's. Let's see if you can make more money, don't be bitter about yourself outside, go back and ask your mother for what you want to eat, drink, and wear. If your mother and I really come to an end this time, I will leave the house lightly, stay directly at your aunt's house, and then I don't have to come back, I don't want the house, land and all the things in the house, I will also give you the money for your school in the future, you and your brother will follow your mother first, and I will live without a fixed place. I lowered my head and let the tears fall silently while no one else was noticed.

I asked: Since you know everything, don't you want to redeem it again?

Dad: At our age, we can see everything, and your Uncle Wang is good. I have a bad temper, and I can't get used to a lot of things your mother does, so I always quarrel. Quarrel and quarrel to lose that little bit of affection, and in the end when you see each other or hear each other's voices, you will hate it, since you can't get together, why kidnap each other?

When the car arrived at the county bus station, I put my father on the bus to Guangyi Coal Mine. Dad seems to be very reluctant to stay in group 8, I know, because no one can look down on him there, no one looks up to him, Dad's wine is too poor, and he has already made his reputation stink in the long run, looking at the bus that is gradually moving away, I suddenly feel that I don't know him anymore, is this still the same dad who beats his daughter-in-law when he drinks more? The result can already be predicted, if Dad doesn't work hard to do something, this time his marriage with Mom will be completely over, of course, even if Dad works hard, it can't change the result. I remembered my brother's calmness just now, he probably expected such a result a long time ago. I suddenly felt the urge to drink, and when I got out of the passenger station, I walked along the road in the direction of the high school.
