Chapter 14: Change
55
I think maybe something happened to him lately. I'll definitely come to me when that's done.
I go to and from school every day. Memorize words, memorize ancient poems, memorize periodic laws of elements, and so on. That's how it came to the college entrance examination. The college entrance examination is in the middle of summer. I passed the exam without any surprises. While I was waiting for my grades to apply, my mother asked me to help out at my aunt's restaurant.
It's early and late again. My aunt's restaurant has breakfast, so I have to go early in the morning to help with the breakfast time, and then clean up and prepare lunch. Sometimes I have to wash the dishes and wash the dishes, and the chef is too busy to help with the cold dishes. In addition to settling accounts, I didn't do all the chores in the restaurant. It's a joke, although I'm sensitive to numbers, but I don't know much about addition and subtraction since I was a child.
At my aunt's, this kind of "help" experience took about half a month. In the official words, it has laid a solid foundation for working in the society in the future.
After the results of the college entrance examination were released, my mother briefly discussed with me and applied for me. Admissions will begin soon. I was accepted into a university. It's just that the university is in a foreign country, and I was happy for a while, and then I was distressed for a while. I'm glad I'm finally leaving home. It's sad that I won't be able to see my brother when I leave here.
By this time, it had been nearly three months since I last saw my brother. What the hell is he doing? What happened to him?
After the results of the college entrance examination and filling in the volunteers, I left my aunt's restaurant and returned to my father's farm to help him with farm work. In the summer, there is not much farm work, so I get up in the morning and follow my father to the distant meadow to mow the grass. My father mowed the grass and I carried the grass. Carrying the grass cut by my father from the field and loading it into a truck. It wasn't until the sun hung high in the sky and the sun shone directly on the earth that we drove home. Of course, the so-called car farm tractor.
I like to sit on the tractor, hehe, don't get motion sickness. Sitting on the haystack, looking at the endless fields, green, and blue sky and white clouds. I am reminded of the beautiful scenery that I will never forget.
It wasn't until the admission letter was sent to the school that I went back to the school to get the admission letter that I found out what happened to my brother.
I arrived at school early that day to get the admission letter, read and looked, and I really wanted to tell my brother. My brother said he was waiting for me to tell him that a certain university had accepted me. Now that the acceptance letters have arrived, he is gone.
I looked for a public phone, and I called it several times and didn't answer it. I started to panic, and I had a bad premonition. Without thinking about it, I started to take the bus and transfer non-stop, and finally arrived at my brother's house.
It was Aunt Zhang who opened the door, and when Aunt Zhang saw me, she hugged me and cried. I was overwhelmed by the sudden cry. But it also confirmed my thoughts, brother, brother has an accident.

"Aunt Zhang, where is my brother? Don't cry yet, tell my brother? What's wrong with my brother. I asked anxiously.
Aunt Zhang wiped her tears, "Young master, the young master has been framed and imprisoned!" ”
What the? Imprisonment? How can it be. I was so shocked that I couldn't believe my ears, "Aunt Zhang, what's going on." How long has my brother been in prison and how can he be in prison. ”
I was asking, but the third brother pushed the door in.
I ran over and grabbed the third brother, incoherent," Aunt Zhang said, and the elder brother was in prison. Isn't that true? Why did my brother go to jail? My brother won't go to jail, right? What about my brother? What about my brother? "I don't know if it's my incoherence or my actions, which shocked the third brother.
He dragged me to the study and told me exactly what had happened.
That day, my brother sent me to separate from me, and he went to the bar with my third brother. I drank a few more drinks because I was happy, but I didn't get drunk either. Just as he was about to leave, the fifth brother went. The fifth brother didn't go alone, there were a few beautiful girls, and a few men. Beautiful girl, brother they don't know, these men, brother and third brother recognize each other at a glance.
These men were none other than his brother's business competitors at that time. I don't understand the things in the business field, and the third brother didn't say it carefully. To sum up, it is probably that among these men, the man who is the leader is competing with his brother for the cooperation project, and the result is that the brother won the cooperation project. The man held a grudge against his brother and always wanted to seek revenge.
The breakthrough of this revenge is the fifth brother. The fifth brother is a standard "wall grass" and can't withstand any temptation.
On the day of the incident, the fifth brother was instigated to take medicine to "calculate" his brother. The fifth brother and these people sat in a circle around the elder brother and the third brother. On the wine, one bottle per person, my brother didn't drink it at first. But the fifth brother has been "matchmaking", and in the end, in order to give the fifth brother face, he also started drinking. That's the problem.
The fifth brother handed his brother a "medicine" in the wine, and the other party took advantage of his brother's strength to start verbally attacking, and his brother's blood was strong, plus the alcohol was on his head, and soon, the instigation worked, and the two people began to add fists and feet.
My brother has practiced, and if he drinks too much, his fists and feet will be gone, and the three punches and two kicks feel like a matter of an instant, and the other party has fallen to the ground. When the third brother passed, it was too late. Seeing this, the other party immediately called the police, and the human and material evidence was there, and there was nothing to refute, so the elder brother was taken away.
The man who fell to the ground died after rescue efforts failed. The wine that my brother drank was tested to contain inedible pharmaceutical ingredients, but I didn't say what it was.
Originally, with the power and connections of his brother's family, although the place where the incident happened was far away from the family's sphere of influence, he could always find someone who could talk to him. The elder brother's parents also planned to "break the wealth and avoid disasters", but the family of the deceased did not want money for life or death, and the only requirement was to "bring the criminals to justice". There is no problem at all, and the request does not seem to be excessive. But as far as my brother is concerned, he must be put in prison.
That's it, there's really nothing you can do. My brother has been admitted to the detention center, and a trial will be held in a few days, and after the trial, he will leave the detention center and be assigned to prison.
I sat down like five thunderbolts.

Tears crackled down. I knew that something must have happened if my brother didn't come for so long. He said he would always be there for me and would not leave. He won't disappear without a word. There must be a reason.
It's just that this reason makes me unacceptable.
The third brother continued, "The last time I saw Brother Hao, he said that he would not let you tell you these things, for fear that it would affect your college entrance examination." And let me go to school to see you and see if you are studying well. I've been to the school a few times to look for you, and I wanted to talk to you. But when I saw you, I couldn't help but think of Brother Hao, I was afraid that I would tell you everything, so every time I just looked at you from a distance and told him that you were seriously preparing for the college entrance examination and studying very seriously. ”
Hearing this, I raised my head and grabbed the third brother, "Third brother, can you meet my brother, take me to meet him, I want to meet him." Just say one word, just say one word, tell him I'll wait for him to come out. I don't know if this sentence is because I like it or love it, or because of something else, the only thing that comes to mind at the time is this sentence. If I could only say one sentence when I saw him, then I would only say this one.
The third brother looked at me, and tears kept flowing down like beads with broken threads. Maybe he didn't know how to comfort me, so he took me into his arms and said, "Okay, sister don't cry, stop crying, he'll be fine, let's wait for him to come out together." Don't cry anymore. "I tugged at my third brother's clothes and cried for a while.
Although I always called him third brother, he never called me sister. Maybe in his understanding, I am not worthy of "being in their company".
Finally came to my senses, and the third brother helped me stand up, "Third brother, I want to stay here alone for a while, okay?" ”。
The third brother nodded and left the study.
I looked at everything that was gone, and it was as if it were yesterday. The words are still in the ears, but the people are no longer there. How can I accept this sudden change? I looked at the notebook on the table that I had dropped. Sitting at the desk, I flipped through it. Suddenly, a page came into view, not my words, but my brother's. It's not very obvious how it is written. The content is not much, it is more like a letter, not to his sister, but to the person he loves.
"Sister, when you see these words, maybe you are already studying in a different place. Even though we didn't have a good start, it makes you think that I'm not a good person, it's my fault. But I'm sure we'll have a happy ending. I'm waiting for you to come back, for you to marry me, because I love you. ”
I was eighteen years old and my brother was twenty-eight when I first saw this text. I didn't understand how to talk about feelings with someone with a big nerve like me. I don't know what love is.
I just know that I like my brother in my heart. Because his appearance made me feel warm, and I never knew if this liking was the same as I liked my cousin back then. If one day there is another one of him, it will fill the gap between me and him. I don't know.
But I clearly saw the words "Waiting for you to marry me". Perhaps this "marriage" is the final result of my brother's promise to be by my side forever, and it is the highest form of "love".
And now, I don't know what else I can do other than cry into my notebook.
58
Finally tired of crying, no longer crying. Hold the notebook and nest in the chair. It feels so heavy to breathe. I fell asleep like this.
When I woke up again, it was dusk.
The third brother is wiping my tears, "I'm still crying when I fall asleep." I smiled wryly and wiped my face.
The third brother said, "Things are already like this, you don't have to be too sad, Brother Hao has explained, I will take care of you." What are you doing today? What was the matter with the original coming to him? ”
I exhaled heavily and licked my dry lips, "I received a college admission letter today, and my brother said that I would tell him when I got the letter, and I came to tell him." ”
"Aren't you bad at studying? Got into college? The third brother looked suspicious.
"Well, if you get in, it's not a good university. My mom asked me if I wanted to repeat it, and I didn't want to. So I decided to go for it. "I showed him my acceptance letter.
"City B? You're really going to get out of here. The third brother was depressed.
"My mother filled in the volunteer for me, and I just wanted to leave home, so I volunteered all the time. I didn't know what had happened to my brother, so ......" said, tears about to fall again.
"Okay, don't cry, let's go, it's not too early, you have to go home." The third brother reminded me.
"Hmm," I promised, and followed him out.
In the living room, Aunt Zhang sat on the sofa with red eyes. I walked over and hugged her gently, "Aunt Zhang, don't cry, there is still me." I will come to accompany you when I have time in the future. We're here waiting for him to come back. Aunt Zhang hugged me hard and cried out, "Young grandma, you must wait for the young master to come out, the young master is not a bad person, no." I was a little overwhelmed by a young grandmother's shout, but I didn't correct it. It is useless to correct these at this time.
The elder brother said that Aunt Zhang had never married in her life and watched her brother grow up. For Aunt Zhang, her brother may be her own son. She can choose to take care of her brother for the rest of her life and not marry, such a great selfless love, I am afraid that there is only maternal love.
Go downstairs and get into the third brother's car. There was one thing that I never understood at the time. People like the third brother and elder brother, who are tall and handsome, why do they like such strange cars. Brother's toast block, what the hell is the third brother? Toad? It's really like that.
I don't know about cars, and my ability to tell the difference between cars is whether I can breathe smoothly after sitting in them. Can the outside wind blow in without opening the window? If it can, it's not a good car, because of "air leakage". If not, it's a good car, and the better the car, the better the seal.
The third brother's car is definitely a good car, and I can't do it just three traffic lights when I go out. Hurry up and pull over, and vomit again.
Compared with my brother's nervousness when he saw me vomiting, the third brother was much calmer. In other words, fortunately I didn't spit in the car.
Well, my motion sickness is very level, and I generally don't spit on other people's cars and be hated by others. I could bear to park the car and get out of the car and vomit.
When I got back into the car, the third brother opened the window on my side. I looked out the window and unconsciously asked, "Where is the fifth brother?" What about the fifth brother now? ”
