"Yo, the second daughter-in-law sent her little son over, she has always ignored this little son, but this time the sun is coming out in the west."

Song Shuzhi pulled Xu Zhinian and said: "This kid is introverted, and he doesn't go out of the door during the New Year, and when he Chinese New Year's Eve a hurry, he didn't say a word, you probably didn't pay attention to him, right?" He is the youngest son of your second uncle and second aunt, five days older than you, and his name is Xu Zhibin. ”

"Oh, I look a little familiar, it turns out to be Brother Zhibin." Xu Zhinian had guessed before that he had eaten at a dinner table during the Chinese New Year, but his personality was too introverted, and he had no sense of existence throughout the whole process.

Xu Zhinian was busy fighting his two aunts at that time, and he didn't pay attention to his appearance.

"I heard that this kid is studying very well, why does he look so nervous?" Song Shuzhi asked.

Xu Zhiqi took over the conversation: "Zhibin is really good at studying, and he can be in front of me in every exam, but the second aunt has never paid much attention to him, and feels that studying is useless, probably because of the pressure in his heart." ”

"You, a short-sighted second aunt, have always had a pimple in your heart because of what happened back then, but you have suffered this child."

Xu Zhinian was a little curious and asked, "What happened back then, mother, what happened back then?" ”

"What else can it be, I was pregnant with your second aunt, the expected date of delivery was not a few days, there was no little girl at home at that time, your superstitious second aunt also found a witch doctor to see, people said, she was pregnant with a girl in her belly, she was happy to show off everywhere, I didn't expect her husband to have a son come out, I gave birth to you in a few days, your second aunt was annoyed and angry, and vented all these grievances on the child, and never paid attention to this old three."

Xu Zhinian nodded slightly, in his impression that this was indeed the case, the second aunt rarely mentioned Xu Zhibin, and at a very young age, he was asked to go to the town to live in school, and he would hardly appear in Xujiagouzi Village.

At this time, a gong and drum sounded, which was a reminder for the candidates to enter the examination room.

The family watched Xu Zhiqi enter, and when they turned around, Cheng Yue'e had already arrived.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, this battle in your family is quite big, isn't it the college entrance examination? As for the whole family? Didn't you throw away the old man to make money, such a trivial matter, it is worth your closure of business? As soon as Cheng Yue'e opened her mouth, she seemed to be here to stir up trouble.

"The college entrance examination is a lifelong event, of course, you have to pay attention to it, you can earn money any day, and you can't starve to death if you don't have a day." Song Shuzhi replied lightly.

"Yes, the third child of our family also said the same, saying that the college entrance examination can reverse fate, the third child has top-notch results, ranking higher than your second child, and won the third prize in a physics competition, and the college entrance examination can add five points!"

Cheng Yue'e will not give up any opportunity to show off, even if this son is the last thing she wants to see, as long as she can suppress the eldest family, she has to say it.

"We don't have high requirements for our children, just be admitted to a university, it's better than being in the countryside."

"There is a difference between this university and the university, my third child will be able to take the key university entrance examination this time, and when the time comes, I will hold a banquet in the village, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law will come to drink." After Cheng Yue'e finished speaking, she left with a smug face.

……

The college entrance examination lasted for two and a half days, and when the last exam was over, the whole family came to pick up Xu Zhiqi neatly.

Looking at Xu Zhiqi's demeanor, you can know that he did well in the exam.

"It's the end of the exam, let's celebrate! I just got a big job and earned 300 yuan, and I heard that there is a Lu cuisine restaurant in the east of the town, let's go to the restaurant. Xu Zhiqiu's career has developed well, and the whole person has become more and more confident, and he is no longer afraid to spend money.

"I haven't released the results yet, what are you celebrating?" Xu Zhiqi was a little embarrassed.

"You can't go wrong with your grades, take a walk, my father and mother usually cook for others every day, this time, we also enjoy what it's like to be served by others."

When the family was about to leave, Xu Zhinian inadvertently caught a glimpse of a dark gray figure.

The man hung his head deeply, and could only see the lower half of his face, his face was pale and pale, and it was obviously broad daylight, but his whole body was like a cold, shivering, and every step was heavy.

"Daddy, you go to the hotel first, I have to go back to school to get something."

Xu Zhinian found a reason, urging his father and brothers to go first, and then stopped Xu Zhibin after they walked away.

"Brother Zhibin, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Zhibin slowly raised his pale face, and when he saw Xu Zhinian, he was stunned for a moment, and his head hung down again.

Xu Zhinian didn't remember him very much, but he had already taken Xu Zhinian's appearance into his mind - this was the baby bump of the old Xu family, and he had lost to Xu Zhinian since he was born.

He said in a barely audible voice, "I, I'm fine." ”

Then, he staggered Xu Zhinian and raised his head with difficulty, as if he was looking for something - but today Cheng Yue'e and his family didn't come alone, it seems that they really don't pay attention to it, and they feel that the exam is over, and there is no need to pick him up.

Xu Zhibin's every step was very heavy, as if his soul had been drained, and as if he had just been beaten with three hundred whips.

Xu Zhinian was not at ease, so he kept following him and didn't speak, and the two walked one after the other.

Xu Zhibin walked uphill and downhill all the way, and finally came to an abandoned earthen bridge, under which was originally a river, but the river had long been drained, with a drop of ten meters, and the bottom was full of sharp stones.

As if expecting what he was going to do, Xu Zhinian grabbed him and said, "Brother Zhibin, don't think about it." ”

Xu Zhibin suddenly had the strength, pushed her away, put one leg on the railing of the bridge, and without saying a word, he turned over directly.

Xu Zhinian was desperate and rushed over and grabbed his wrist, but because she was thin, she didn't have much strength, so in order not to be taken down by him, she had to pin her feet to the bottom of the bridge railing.

Such a posture can temporarily hang Xu Zhibin, and he will not fall immediately, but Xu Zhinian's hand strength is limited, this posture can be maintained for a maximum of one minute, and if he doesn't let go, both of them will fall.

"Let it go, let me die, no one cares if I'm dead or alive!" Xu Zhibin's voice was pale and weak, full of despair.

"Even if I die, my father and mother won't be sad, anyway, I'm a superfluous person..."

"Brother Zhibin, you can't commit suicide just because you failed the college entrance examination, you only have one life!"

Xu Zhinian had already guessed why he committed suicide, it must have been too much pressure, which led to abnormal performance on the spot, and he didn't have the courage to face his parents who didn't want to see him, so he looked for a short time.

"My life is meaningless at all, my eldest brother is mixed with society, my mother thinks that my eldest brother is capable, my second brother is a bricklayer, my mother thinks that my second brother is making money by strength, but what about me, I am weak and useless, my birth is wrong, because I am not a girl, not the girl they are looking forward to..."
