Adler looked at Xu Yang a little nervously: "I...... I don't know, I don't remember. ”

Xu Yang looked at his helpless appearance and suddenly remembered something, and then the two brothers put their hands on his shoulders: "Don't worry, my father and I will not send you back, no matter whether anyone comes to look for you in the future, no matter what the situation of my family is, you are my younger brother, the only younger brother, we will not send you away." ”

Adler has been at his house for more than a year, and although he has learned the life and some basic languages here, he is still very restrained in his usual work, and he has not fully integrated into the family, and he will not lose his temper with them, even if they do something wrong, this kind of caution is very distressing.

Adler's body stiffened and stopped: "Is what you said true?" ”

"Of course, when did I lie to you?" Xu Yang looked at him with an oath.

Adler was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "I don't have a very deep impression of my former country, and there are almost no special memories left. ”

This is the first time that Xu Yang has heard Adler talk about his former country, and he was afraid of making him sad when he mentioned it, so he and Xu's father kept silent about his past, and even if it was occasionally involved, they tried to be as tactful as possible.

Father Xu is okay, he has seen too many winds and waves, and he is no longer curious about these, but Xu Yang is still a child, and he is at the stage of being curious about everything, and now he hears Adler have something to say about the past, and he can't help but listen carefully.

Adler frowned slightly, trying to think about everything in his memory of that country: "The country I used to be was a very happy country, and it was like this before I was transported to this country. ”

"Transported?" Xu Yang keenly grasped the key words.

"Well, I didn't smuggle in on my own initiative, but was transported here as cargo." Adler lowered his head and was in a bad mood.

"If you're upset, don't say it, I don't want to see you unhappy." Xu Yang looked at his sad expression and felt that he was a sinner.

Adler shook his head: "It's okay, I said that I should feel better." "He wants to confess to Xu Yang, he wants to really become Xu Yang's family, there is no mustard.

It is really distressing for two children to discuss such a heavy topic, and they both say that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early and are particularly sensible, because they have experienced more frustration and pain than ordinary children.

"One day, for some reason, my country was flooded with strangers who killed my parents, and many uncles and aunts, and children my size were escorted onto ships and sold all over the world. On that boat, I saw several children younger than me die, and they threw him into the sea...... "Adler still shuddered when he remembered that scene.

Xu Yang took his hand seriously, and suddenly didn't want to listen to it anymore, but continued to listen masochistically.

"I was afraid of being thrown into the sea, there were sharks in it, there were unknown beasts, so I didn't dare to make myself feel a little uncomfortable, and even if I did, I had to endure it. After about three days of floating on the seamount, the ship finally landed, and the country was still a little strict with customs, and the people on the boat got off the boat to say hello, and I took the opportunity to escape. ”

"I don't even know if the consequences of running away are better than staying, but a voice in my heart tells me that I can't stay, I must escape. In the end, I was glad that I escaped and met my father and you. All his courage was used in that escape, so that he didn't have the courage to ask Xu's father and Xu Yang to like him later.

Xu Yang sighed and rubbed Adler's soft hair: "It's okay, those are in the past, you don't have to be afraid of anything now, no matter what happens, my father and I will protect you." ”

Adler shortened Xu Yang's head by half a head, he looked up at Xu Yang's eyes slightly, his heart was warm, and his eyes flashed with warm light, which was very reassuring.

"Xiao Yang, Lele, when you come back, hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat." Father Xu was in the kitchen when he heard the sound of putting schoolbags in the living room outside, and greeted them happily.

Adler Xiaoming Adler, this is a foreign name that Xu's father gave him on a whim when he picked him up, probably because he felt that if he wanted to return to his country in the future, he could still have a good name to use, he is now known as Xu Le, and people close to him call him Lele.

"Okay!" Xu Yang answered from afar and dragged Adler to wash his hands.

When the family sat down at the table, Xu Yang asked Xu's father curiously, "Why did you come back so early today?" "Usually the two children go home first to cook.

"The weather is not very good today, and it is not suitable for going to sea." Father Xu pointed to the sunny afternoon outside.

"......" Although Xu Yang can't understand the weather, he also knows that it won't rain like this now.

Father Xu knocked on his head with chopsticks funny: "What do you kid know, look at it, there will be heavy rain tonight." ”

"Then I'll just watch." Xu Yang was a little unconvinced.

Adler ate silently on the side, watching them talk every day, and felt that there was nothing happier than this.

After Xu's father cleaned up, Xu Yang remembered that he had a little son, but this little son was too worry-free for him to know how to speak: "Lele, how are you at school?" Has anyone bullied you? If someone bullies you, you go to your brother and ask him to help you, this kid has been a thief since he was a child, and you can't suffer a loss with him. ”

Xu Yang glanced at his father helplessly, but he didn't say anything, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Adler smiled: "Dad, don't worry, no one bullied me, teachers and classmates like me." ”

"That's right, his classmates all stuffed him with sugar, and he went to me with a lot of candy to show off his power today." Xu Yang complained angrily.

"Hahaha! Isn't it a female classmate? Father Xu laughed obscenely: "Who made your kid not as well-behaved as Lele?" ”

"Do you blame me?" Xu Yang glanced at Father Xu meaningfully.

Just when Xu's father was about to exchange ideas with Xu Yang, Adler suddenly said: "My brother is also very good-looking." ”

"Huh?" Father Xu and Xu Yang were stunned, and then Father Xu smiled even more exaggeratedly: "Hahaha!" Xiao Yang, you see, your brother is comforting you. ”

Xu Yang looked at him, and the old man was about to laugh with tears in his eyes, which was so spicy.

Adler took advantage of the fact that Xu's father couldn't laugh at himself, and quietly leaned into Xu Yang's ear and whispered: "Brother, I really think you are good-looking." ”

Xu Yang couldn't help laughing: "I know, can I still not know my own appearance?" Although he is not as exaggerated as Adler, he directly has children to deliver food, but he also has a lot of friends.

The family has a clear division of labor, Xu's father makes money to support the family, Xu Yang and Adler study hard, in school, the two of them did not let Xu's father worry, every time there is a parent-teacher meeting, Xu's father is full of interest, because he can receive everyone's envy, his two sons are the first, no matter what aspect is the first, the school praises by name, out of the limelight.

It feels like the whole person is going to float.

This life lasted until Xu Yang was seventeen years old, the third year of high school, and Adler was fifteen years old, the first year of high school.

The high school is no longer in their town, Xu Yang and Adler were admitted to the provincial key high school together, although the money is more, but fortunately, the school will give subsidies to outstanding students, so Xu's father can afford to go to school with two children with a little hard work.

The bad news came from the summer when Xu Yang graduated from high school, he went home first after the college entrance examination, Adler still has half a month to take the exam holiday, and he can't wait that long.

Go home and wait for the notice to fill in the volunteer, and then follow Xu's father to go to sea to fish: "Which school do you think you can go to?" ”

"It had to be the best school." Xu Yang said confidently.

Originally, he could be directly guaranteed to enter the best school in the country, but he wanted to see his strength so he took the college entrance examination and went all out, if he could enter that university with the first place in the country, then all his tuition fees would be collected by them. The school will also give a high scholarship. Not only can he go to school without worries, but he can also support his family.

"Okay, then I'll wait and see the results." Father Xu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and his two sons never let him down.

Half a month later, Xu Yang got the admission letter, and Adler also went home on vacation.

"Brother! I am back! Adler threw his bag onto the sofa and rushed to the kitchen.

Sure enough, Xu Yang was standing in front of the stove cutting vegetables, and he didn't turn his head back when he heard his voice: "It's almost dinner, if you're not tired, go pick up Dad, he said he would bring you something delicious back tonight." ”

"I'll go." Adler turned around and ran out, so fast that he caused a small whirlwind.

Xu Yang listened helplessly to his footsteps and went away, he was so big, he couldn't learn to be calm.

As soon as Adler ran out of the house, he collided with Uncle Zheng who came to his house, and Zheng Ping hurriedly helped Adler: "Lele, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Adler looked at Zheng Ping politely after standing still: "Uncle Zheng, I'm going to pick up my dad." ”

For a while, Zheng Ping's eyes were very complicated when he looked at him, with sympathy, pity, distress and other emotions mixed together.

Adler has been more sensitive since he was careful thinking, and he can detect the deeply hidden emotions of others, let alone such obvious emotions, his heart "chuckled", and a bad premonition swept over: "Uncle Zheng, why didn't you come back with your father?" ”

"Lele, you...... Go and get your brother out first. Zheng Ping looked at him sadly.

Adler probably had already guessed what was going on when he said this, he didn't dare to stop, turned around and rushed inside.

Xu Yang heard the footsteps and knew it was Adler: "What? Picked up someone so soon? ”

The footsteps stopped behind him, but no one spoke, he turned his head curiously to look at Adler, it was okay not to look at it, and he was startled when he saw it: "You...... Why are you crying? What's wrong? ”

Xu Yang hurriedly turned off the fire, walked up to him and looked at him nervously, this was the first time he had seen him cry.

"Daddy...... Dad had an accident. Adler said with tears in his face.
