Chapter 13: No More Loneliness
Chen Shilian was also concerned about the chaos, and forgot that Zou Wenfang didn't know that he had a brother. After speaking, she realized that she had made a mistake.
She was silent, stopped talking, just lowered her head, like a child who made a mistake.
Zou Wenfang heard what he had just said clearly, and hurriedly grabbed Chen Shilian's hands, looked up at her eyes, and asked eagerly, "Shilian, what did you just say?" Do you know something? Tell me, quick. ”
Chen Shilian saw Zou Wenfang's eyes in front of her full of longing, she didn't know whether to tell him or not, for fear that something would happen if she said it. So she dared to say any more, twisted her head to the side, and refused to look at him again, she was afraid that she would say more if she was not careful.
Zou Wenfang saw that she didn't want to say anything about her, so she let go of her hand and stopped asking.
For so many years, he has been very lonely, and he longs for a brother to talk with and go up and down the river together. However, he has been the most unpopular in the family since he was born. In other people's homes, the boy is pampered, and the parents are even more doting on the youngest son. But when he arrived at his own home, it was the girl who was loved by her father, and he was left out as a boy.
His father didn't pay much attention to him when he was a child, and he should have invited him to Mr. or to him, and he should have a lot of food to eat. As for what snacks and what fun toys, he never thought about it. There are very few words to him, and they are usually words of instruction, and there are no words of concern at all.
Sometimes Zou Wenfang wonders if he is biological, could it be that his father and mother picked it up from the side of the road? Even many of the children who picked it up were happier than him.
His mother is better, and she will say a few more words about him.
And his three sisters are much older than him, and they were already married when he was sensible. For him, these sisters are closer than strangers.
As for those neighbors and strangers, he generally ignores people, and when others ask him, he will give a reply if he is interested, and ignore it if he is not interested.
Zou Wenfang has always been lonely, so he chooses to immerse himself in the book. He never understood why his father treated him like this, and he always wanted to find out. Special is also a relatively stubborn temper, Dad, you don't say, he doesn't ask.
But today, Chen Shilian suddenly said that she leaked her mouth, and he knew that she must have known something. However, she refused to speak, and he didn't force her anymore, maybe there was something unspeakable.
Zou Wenfang was silent for a while, he didn't say a word, and went back to his room.
Chen Shilian was still standing there, and after a long time, she realized that she was alone in the study. She didn't know if she could tell Zou Wenfang those things, but as a member of the organization, she also knew the importance of confidentiality. Without Uncle Zou's consent, he would not reveal it to him.
Now, the study was empty, and she remembered the longing look in his eyes just now, and he must have been disappointed by now. She suddenly felt a little sorry for him, and she let him down. I silently said "I'm sorry" in my heart.
After that, Chen Shilian trotted out of the study directly and went to him to apologize.
Zou Wenfang's room is downstairs, in a darker location in the whole building.
She came to the door of the room and gave a gentle push, and the inside was latched. After thinking about it, she spoke directly, "Study, it's me, you open the door, I have something to tell you." ”
There was no movement inside, nothing but pitch black.
Chen Shilian also knew that he was inside, so she continued: "Wenfang, I just said 'I'm sorry' for disappointing you. Study, can you let me in? I want to talk to you. ”
There was still no movement inside.
Chen Shilian felt that something was wrong, she was also anxious, so she kicked the door open directly and ran in a hurry.
She found it so dark that she couldn't see anything. She could only light the kerosene lamp first, and she found that Zou Wenfang was squatting on the bed with his head buried in his knees, his eyes hanging down, not knowing what he was thinking, and he was indescribably decadent.
When Chen Shilian saw him like this, her heart suddenly hurt. She hurriedly went up and hugged him in her arms, and cried directly.
"Scholar, what's wrong with you? You tell your sister, don't hold it alone, my sister is very heartbroken to see you like this, do you know? ”
"Scholar, am I not your daughter-in-law? Tell me anything you want. ”
"Didn't you just think about that? You look at me, I'll tell you now, I'll tell you now, okay? ”
。。。。。。
After Zou Wenfang walked out of the study, he went straight back to his room. Bolting the door with his hand, he wanted to be quiet.
In the past few days, Chen Shilian's appearance has changed him. He found that he was not lonely at all now, he could share a lot of things with Sister Chen, and he could talk to her.
It's just that just now, like Uncle Zou and them, she had something to hide from him. Suddenly, he couldn't stand it. It's like being betrayed by the person he trusts the most, and he's so uncomfortable. He's back to being a man. Suddenly, he was knocked down from the clouds to the ground, and his heart was in a panic.
He is in a commotion now, and he has not been able to calm down. He thinks about the things he has been doing since he was a child over and over again, and he always feels that everyone is hiding something from him. He felt like he was an outcast from the whole world.
In fact, after so many years, he has long been accustomed to being alone. Thinking about it, he didn't know what he was doing, so he was stunned.
At this time, he heard movement outside the door, and it turned out to be his daughter-in-law coming.
Hearing Chen Shilian say to let him open the door, she had something to say, but Zou Wenfang didn't move, wanting to see what she was going to say next.
Later, when Chen Shilian said 'I'm sorry', Zou Wenfang felt a lot better. He believed that his daughter-in-law was still his most faithful partner, and she would not hide anything from him for no reason.
He wanted to continue to hear what else she had to say. He was now thinking about what he would do if Sister Chen opened up directly.
But before he could start thinking about it, he suddenly heard a loud bang, and the door flew directly, and a black shadow ran in quickly.
Zou Wenfang was directly taken aback, but he also wanted to see what his daughter-in-law would do, so he pretended to be abandoned, looking decadent and unable to be decadent.
It was so dark in the room that I couldn't see anything. After the kerosene lamp was lit, the room was much brighter.
Zou Wenfang was also very moved when she heard Chen Shilian say that she would be heartbroken, and her eyes were a little moist.
When he heard her admit that she was his daughter-in-law, he was overjoyed.
As for the things she said she was going to tell him at the end, he didn't care. What should be known will always be known, so why bother so much.
It's just that it's embarrassing now, he is being held in her arms, and it is inevitable that he will touch the softness that should not be touched. Where has he felt this, his heart is happy, he wants to continue to take advantage, but he doesn't dare to show it too obviously. So he could only close his eyes, and a few tears flowed down his just moist eyes.
Chen Shilian hugged him and said so much, only to find that his face was a little red and he shed a few tears. Immediately, he said everything he knew.
Zou Wenfang was shocked, it turned out that he still had two deceased brothers. I thought to myself: The two in the mangosteen forest at the gate are your cemetery, Yulin, Yuchun, it turns out that you are my brother. Those marching notes were also left by you, no wonder every time I flip through them, I feel familiar when I look at those words. Daddy doesn't believe you're dead, and so naturally I don't. Brothers, you wait, I will find you.
Chen Shilian felt Zou Wenfang tremble in her arms, obviously shocked by this. She suddenly overflowed with motherhood and gently patted him on the back like a child.
Zou Wenfang suddenly broke free from her embrace, and the two looked at each other, one pair was full of pity, and the other pair was full of emotion.
When he saw his daughter-in-law's eyes red from crying, Zou Wenfang was distressed. He directly hugged Chen Shilian in his arms, just like she had just done, gently lined her back, and said in his mouth: "It's okay, it's okay, Shilian is good, tomorrow we will go to the Wei, brother will buy you candy to eat." ’
Chen Shilian laughed out loud, but she was also very greedy for this little embrace, very warm and comfortable, and she still didn't want to get up.
At this moment, there was a "cough cough" from the door of the room.
