Chen Xiaoqiu meant something.

I could only send a wry smile on my face.

I also hope to get an answer.

I don't know if it was because of this thought, but after eating at noon, I lay down on the bed. Almost as soon as I lay down on the bed, I fell into a dream.

It was darkness at first, or rather, there was no sight.

Then I heard a voice, a little vague, like a thought, like someone was silently chanting something.

“…… Xiaobao is so smart! Xiaobao did so well in this exam, what reward do you want? Grandpa promised you. ”

……

“…… If you want to study, you can sign up, and the tuition will be paid by grandpa. ”

……

“…… Here you go, let's play with your classmates. Don't tell your parents. You can take the rest of the money yourself. ”

……

“…… That's a lot of college tuition. It's okay, I still have a deposit. ”

……

“…… You don't save in college, eat better, hang out with your classmates, don't save money. Your mother gives you pocket money, and I will give you 500 yuan a month. ”

……

I gradually realized that this voice was Xu Guangzong's. This should be what Xu Guangzong said to Xu Guangming.

Is the object of the dream Xu Guangzong?

Thinking like this, after some long silence, I saw Xu Guangzong.

Xu Guangzong, who was younger than when I saw him. Black hair is mixed with white hair, and age spots and wrinkles on the face are not so noticeable.

Rough hands groped over the top of my head.

Xu Guangzong's expression was kind and gentle.

The image quickly fell apart.

The quarrel between Xu Tie and his wife took its place.

"You shit! I've been squeezing with your parents all my life, and you still want our son to squeeze like this for the rest of your life? The children have their own rooms, there are so many things, look at your son! I've been sleeping on the balcony since elementary school! You can only do your homework at the dinner table! The books issued by the school and the books I bought can only be piled up in boxes! ”

"You think I want to? When you were doing business, didn't you recruit your relatives to supply the goods, and your mother sent a bunch of expired products, and the store would be closed? Do you still blame me? ”

"Xu Tie, just say, do you want our son to sleep on the balcony for the rest of his life? That bed, the iron bed of many years ago! You don't feel distressed! Are you human? ”

With a slight movement of his gaze, he moved away from the first bedroom door and moved towards the other bedroom next door.

The bickering continued.

"What does your dad mean, you don't know when I do? Your brother is going to take them over to enjoy the blessings, but he just won't go! He just wants to stare at us, he just doesn't like you, and he wants to drive you away! He doesn't want to drive you away, he wants you to be a cow and a horse for the rest of your life! ”

A high-pitched female voice pierced the eardrums.

My view was still fixed to the door of the other bedroom.

In the bedroom, Xu Guangzong sat on the bed with his back to the door.

There was only a small lamp in the room, and Xu Guangzong's shadow stretched from the bed to the floor, dragging on for a long time, and the whole person looked thin.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the door, his eyes widened slightly, and then, with a smile, opened his mouth to say something.

My gaze had moved with my body to the balcony separated by curtains.

A camp bed was placed on the balcony. There is a small lamp at the head of the bed. The fan is placed at the foot of the bed. The remaining space on the balcony was put for a washing machine and a glove cupboard. Above the balcony, there are hanging clothes, men's, women's, and elderly's......

I lay down on the bed and rolled over.

The door didn't cut off the quarrels in the bedroom, and even a curtain didn't work.

The moonlight came in from outside, and the clothes above their heads cast shadows on the curtains. The hem of the garment swayed in the breeze, and the shadows swayed like ghosts.

“…… I'll change rooms with Xiaobao. He stayed in my room and I slept on the balcony. ”

Xu Guangzong's voice appeared again.

I was no longer lying on that camp bed, but in the living room.

The futon on the marching bed was changed.

It was as if a slideshow was playing, and more and more things were placed under the camp bed and on the floor against the wall. These slides are interspersed with images of Xu Guangzong entering the bedroom to get something.

I heard a voice coming from within my body: "Come in and knock!" "Why did you run in again?" And what to take? "You can move what you want to use." ”……

Apathy, boredom, rejection......

Old furniture, old-fashioned décor, the smell of old people......

And this terrible family.

The picture is changing.

I saw Xu Gang's family of three.

Fathers and sons, brothers, cousins, concubines...... If you don't know, it's probably hard for outsiders to connect the two families.

Delicately packaged skin care products are placed on the coffee table, as well as a beautiful fruit basket and a carton of imported milk, which is not like a visit between close blood relatives, but a combing guest.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I could see Xu Gang's son, and my mind instantly appeared to know him: I studied abroad in high school, graduated from a famous university abroad, and I have a girlfriend who is studying abroad, and I am currently working in a multinational company......

In contrast, it is a graduate of an ordinary university in China, who failed the postgraduate entrance examination and the public examination, and was squeezed in a small private enterprise with more than 20 people.

No, not myself. It's Xu Guangming.

Xu Gang's family came and went, leaving many things behind.

Xu Tie and his wife were resentful, but quickly dismantled the fruit baskets and milk.

Xu Guangzong said: "The milk will be given to Xiaobao." He's worked hard, too. Can Xiaobao eat this health care product? ”

"This is what the elderly eat. It costs more than 1,000 yuan to buy it outside. Xu Tie replied.

His wife immediately answered: "If you sell it, you can sell it for seven or eight hundred." ”

Naturally, the two of them brought things to their rooms.

Then, within two days, the box of supplements was gone.

Xu Guangzong grabbed Xu Guangming, and with more than 3,000 yuan in his other hand, he directly stuffed it into Xu Guangming's pocket.

"You work hard, don't save lunch. When I saw a good little girl, I went to chase others, send them things, and invite them to dinner. ”

"Got it." A rough voice interrupted Xu Guangzong's words.

Some realizations also came to my mind.

Xu Guangming is accustomed to this. Every time Xu Gang came, he would bring something and stuff money to Xu Guangzong.

Xu Guangming didn't know how much Xu Gang gave Xu Guangzong, but in his opinion, it must be more than three thousand. On the one hand, he was angry that Xu Guangzong had hidden the money, and on the other hand, he was ashamed that he had taken his uncle's money through Xu Guangzong. He needs the money. His salary is not enough for his expenses. Money is required for clothes, money for eating, money for drinking, and entertainment consumption is even more significant. He can only live comfortably if he gets the thousands of yuan given by Xu Guangzong.

These acquaintances flashed by, and I saw a girl.
