Chapter 4 (B)

Outside the operating room, I sat on the floor, cowering in a corner between the wall and the stool. My parents asked me to get up, I didn't say yes, I just knew that it was comfortable, and they understood that it was a sense of security. The lights in the operating room were on for a long time, and the moment the lights went out and the door opened, I felt my feet go numb.

The mother said that the eldest brother had washed his stomach and was fine.

I was held by my father, "Dad, why does my eldest brother eat stones?" ”

My father didn't answer me, and when he turned his head, his newborn beard brushed against the tip of my nose. Mother lowered her head and didn't look at him, and I rubbed my nose.

It's true that it's fake, so what's wrong? Ignorance is right, so who will make up for it? The mistakes are all wrong, and the past mistakes cannot be atonemented later.

The eldest brother is not like an ordinary person, he has an "intellectual disability". I don't think he's pitiful, he's very happy, he just pretends to be pure and beautiful in his head, he doesn't have to remember the muddy and ugly in his heart, he doesn't have to learn to grow up, and maintain joy, anger and sorrow. He likes to play, so we let him play to his heart's content. When Xun'an and I were young, we followed him; When we are past the age of fun, we accompany him; When we get older, farther and farther away from home, and spend more and more time away from home, we think of him, but we can't do it all the time. When playing with him, the eldest brother will always show fun. He hid the loneliness instinct he felt, I knew.

"Sister Nannan, Brother Xun'an, let's go play together, you haven't played with me for a long time." We grew into adults of more than one meter, and the eldest brother would pull us to play with him.

"Go with him." After going to college, my mother's aging process gradually became clear. I'll admit that she's not a little dragon girl, even though she's dressed in the same clothes as ever, and the magic chamber is intact. After discovering that her eldest brother was sick, her mother became more and more emaciated, and she had to take care of a child who did not grow up for the rest of her life. She was helpless when she asked us, like a desperate person praying for a stranger. We are not strangers, we are relatives, so feeling sorry for her is not sympathy.

"Big brother, we'll accompany you." I grabbed Xun'an's arm and motioned for him to say a few words.

"Where are we going?" Xun An is a head taller than me. He wouldn't go along, I know, but he couldn't ignore my hints.

Hearing that we were all going to go, the eldest brother ran out with his hands dancing and told us to follow. We were infected by his pleasure, and he led the way.

Yellowed rice has more appetite. When they are green, they don't think that they will be linked to the rice they eat every day after they are yellow. The yellow husk of the rice is so white that it is so fragrant that you can't smell the green or yellow rice when you put your nose into it. The rice planted in the second half of the year is more fragrant than the early rice, and the autumn is the beautiful time when the fruits are ripe. Rice is raised in the south, especially in our village. The village chief didn't tell me the annual production data, and someone with good math and a strong sense of space should be able to estimate the area at a glance, and Xun An, who was standing next to me, happened to be.

"It's a long number, but when you think about it, it's a long number." The tone of the world is like that of the landlord who has contracted this field.

When the rice is ripe, other melons and fruits can be eaten. The eldest brother took us to the orange orchard of a family in the village, and the fruit hanging from the tree was yellow and clear, yellower than a large field of rice, and it looked very attractive. The eldest brother's intention to bring us here is obvious, and he is greedy.

I looked around and saw a sign hanging on one of the largest trees in the garden, "Pesticide has been applied, you will bear the consequences!" "A very conspicuous warning, the old trick in the countryside is not to take advantage of loopholes to slander people, but to prevent others from stealing oranges. Such false notices are like scarecrows, one scares birds, the other scares people. We don't believe that the whole garden has been sprayed, in fact, we don't believe that the owner of the garden can hold back his hunger.

"Delicious oranges, pick them all home!" The eldest brother was so excited that he stuffed his clothes pocket with oranges.

But stealing without permission is still a loss, not to mention that there are no orange trees at home.

"We have it at home, and we don't pick other people's."

Children don't believe in the coaxing of adults, and children feel love from the obedience of adults. The eldest brother was about to cry when he saw the situation, so I pretended to accompany him to pick it. If there is no place to put it, a tree will be bald, so I asked him to stop and go home.

"Alright, alright, that's enough, let's go home."

The child is very energetic, and this is only a few tenths, which is not enough to consume a few tenths of his energy, so I can only drag him back hard. I asked Xun An to help, and the two of them were about the same size. Xun An asked me to let go, and then grabbed my eldest brother's arm, and after bending down neatly and getting up, I carried my eldest brother on my back.

"I don't want to carry it!" The eldest brother didn't want to be carried, so he struggled wildly on Xun'an's back, and all the oranges were scattered on the ground.

"Big brother, it's okay, we still have a lot of them here!" There was a lot of commotion, and I was afraid that the master would find out, so I wanted him to be quiet. I held him steady and told Xun'an to leave quickly, while this orange grove had not yet been developed into a land of right and wrong. As soon as the three of them stepped out of the door, the owner of the garden arrived in time.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing that someone was coming, the eldest brother stopped tossing, he jumped off his back, walked straight to his master, and took out an orange from his pocket.

"We're picking fruit."

"Do you want to eat? Here you go. ”

The eldest brother's actions made me smile bitterly, and at the same time I was thinking about how to explain it.

"It's you, you're stealing my oranges again! I explained that the notice board was hung up, how could anyone steal it? It turned out to be you idiot! ”

"Who do you say is a fool?" The apology that I had just calculated was not counted, and I went to the eldest brother to question in front of my brain fever, and I didn't care that it was an elder standing in front of me.

"Your eldest brother is a fool, and the whole village knows it, look at the virtue of your family, they look like a Peugeot, but they are all thieves!"

"You...... Who is rare for a few oranges in your house! We are not thieves! "I can only raise my momentum and amplify my voice to stand firm, but the chaotic orange shimmers with a blinding golden light to remind me that this is all a masterpiece that I have done as a client.

The host glanced at me from top to bottom several times, and his uncomfortable eyes forced me back a few steps.

"The gold and jade are ruined on the outside!" Such unwavering disdain continued to push me back. I had no evidence to prove a trumped-up charge, and my thoughts froze like mush, and the drumbeat of my heart could not stir up.

The eldest brother didn't understand our verbal exchange, but he was still afraid, so he shouted. My reason was temporarily pulled by the cry, and I hurriedly turned around and hugged my eldest brother, telling him not to be afraid.

There were more and more onlookers, and I was completely out of proportion, not knowing how to end the show.

When I'm completely helpless, I think of finding peace. He was as quiet as ever, and he could be found at a glance in the background of the crowd of onlookers. He knew I was looking at him, but I couldn't see any emotions in the plain clothes, whether they were as angry as I was and couldn't do anything about it. He walked up to his master and took out a few hundred-dollar bills.

"We're not stealing, we're buying. This money is more than enough to buy you a few oranges. ”

"Let's go, let's go home." Xun'an carried my eldest brother on his back and pulled me forward firmly. I could clearly feel his exertion, and the protruding green tendons in my palms made me feel painful.

"Xun'an, he speaks so ugly, why do you want to give him money?" It's not that I'm reluctant to give up that money, money can make ghosts grind, and giving money can make aggressive mouths shut up, but having money seems unreasonable to us.

"It's not helpful to say more." He replied in a dashing manner, just like the dance he did.
