Chapter 916: We're Still Brothers!
The atmosphere made me feel a little embarrassed all of a sudden, and I saw that Mao Liang was also a little unhappy, although the scene began to make an atmosphere again after a glass of self-punishment last week, toasting us, but I could see that Mao Liang was a little unhappy.
After eating at noon, Mao Fangfang and Zhou Qiang took the initiative to clean up, and at this time I handed Mao Liang a cigarette, and we walked to the yard together.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, my brother-in-law doesn't know what's going on, and I have a lot of words today." Mao Liang said embarrassedly.
"How many years has the child's mother been running?" I asked.
"It's been several years, and the child ran away before he was in elementary school, and now he has remarried and has children." Mao Liang explained.
"You come with me to the magic capital, and mix with me." I said from the bottom of my heart.
"Lin Nan, what are you talking about, you are a college student, you have a diploma, I came out of a vocational school, what job can I find." Mao Liang said with a smile.
"At least we have a babysitter together, and now you need to have a stable job." I said.
"I'm quite stable, I don't want to do it, I just came back from Kyoto, I have savings, I can rent a store in the county, I can also buy a van to run the business, I'm a master, I can repair air conditioners, refrigerators and TVs, it's not good to eat by handicraft in my hometown, and I can also take care of the family, my parents are also older, how can they always worry about me and help me take care of the children, in fact, I know in my heart that my parents have been complaining about me, and my sister and brother-in-law also look down on me, After all, I'm a son, and I'm really not a brother-in-law. Mao Liang said.
"Is it really possible to open a repair shop? Don't you have a bottom in your heart? You've been in Kyoto for so many years, so you should know the current market. I continued.
"Lin Nan, what do you say I can do, what can I do besides this? I studied mechanical and electrical engineering, and I have been in this industry since graduation, and I have no way, otherwise I will enter a company and be an electrician. Or I do engineering, to contract some decoration of water and electricity, but the problem is, I have come all the way, I have never had a chance, I also want to enter the company, to do business, the problem to enter the company to have a diploma, to do business to have capital, the child's mother is actually right, said that in this family she feels hopeless, I can't even afford a house in the county, how can I keep her? So she divorced me, and I don't blame her. Mao Liang took a sharp puff of cigarette and said word by word.
"Are you willing? You're also in your early thirties, and you've been doing it every year, haven't you had anything you want to do in your life? I asked.
"I just want my son to be able to fight for me, fulfill his wish for me, and hope that he can go to college like you, have a good job in the future, and be able to marry a daughter-in-law." Mao Liang said.
"Well, are you really going to do it?" I asked.
"Well, but I still thank you, you can think of letting me go to the magic capital with you, I have written down this intention." Mao Liang smiled.
"I hope you are well, of course, if you have any difficulties, or feel that you can't hold on, just tell me, although our brothers haven't seen each other for more than ten years, but good brothers are good brothers, and the relationship will not change." I patted Mao Liang on the shoulder.
"Thank you, I know, I'll live like a human being, just like you." Hairy nod head.
I sat at Mao Liang's house in the afternoon, and by about three o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Yin and I already had an idea, mainly because I didn't want Mao Liang to cook dinner or something, and I thought it was enough to have a meal and chat together, anyway, Mao Liang and I already had contact information, and we could contact each other again.
Leaving Mao Liang's house was driven by Chu Yin, I sat in the co-pilot, watching Mao Liang's family wave goodbye to us, and I couldn't help but sigh a little in my heart.
After I knew Mao Liang's current situation, I really wanted to help him, so I said let him follow me to the magic capital, but I also knew that Mao Liang was a person with his own thoughts, and he didn't want to rely on others, since he decided to develop in his hometown, then of course I respected his ideas.
"Husband, why didn't you talk all the way?" Chu Yin asked as she drove.
"Wife, I really hope that Mao Liang can get better, the best thing is to be confident, I always feel uncomfortable when I see Mao Liang and his son." I said.
"That's because Mao Liang is very close to you, and you had a very good relationship when you were young, so you can't bear to see him divorced, and you don't seem to be happy with him, but in fact, Mao Liang is an ordinary person, and there are a lot of ordinary people like this." Chu Yin said.
"I know, I just told him to let him go to the magic capital to hang out with me, but he refused." I continued.
"You told him?" Chu Yin was surprised.
"Well, I'm thinking about getting to the magic capital, I'll help him find a place to stay, and then see how to find him a job." I said.
"It seems that he doesn't want you to sympathize with him, he has his own plans." Chu Yin said.
"So?" I smiled helplessly.
"Husband, not everyone thinks that the other party is good and thinks that they need each other's help, sometimes, the closer the friend, the less they want their brother to help him, what they need to live is dignity, even if they are not happy, they will not say it, to trouble you, and Mao Liang belongs to this kind of person, in fact, you can mention this kind of thing once, if you mention it too much, he will resist, and he will think that you are pitying him, so you must respect his thoughts." Chu Yin continued.
"I don't pity him, I just hope he can live well." I said.
"What does it mean to live well, to live well when you make more money? Or do you have a car and a house? Husband, can you tell me about it? Chu Yin looked at me and said.
"It's--" I smiled unnaturally.
"Husband, for ordinary people, a family can reunite, be healthy and happy, it is a good life, a stable job, children can be sensible, sometimes happiness is very simple, of course, most people in addition to wanting to live well, it is best to be able to improve the quality of life, but no matter how they live, it is their own business, and everyone has a different understanding of life."
"For example, Mao Liang now, he is willing to stay in his hometown now, maybe he feels that Beipiao has not taken care of his family over the years, so he came back this time in the hope of reuniting with his family, he can accompany his son to study, and he can make a living in his hometown, he came back to stabilize himself, so, his thoughts should be clear in his heart, but he has his own plans."
Chu Yin spoke continuously, and then nodded in understanding.
"But husband, I am quite happy that you can tell Mao Liang to follow you, because you have never forgotten your roots, good brothers and good buddies in the past, you can think about him, even if you are not your former self now, but you don't have any shelf, nor do you have any contemptuous actions, you have always been very sincere, which is very rare." Chu Yin continued.
"I'm okay, I'm better off than before, but I'm still me, how can I change." I said.
"That's you, in fact, once many people are promoted and rich, once they have a certain status, then the former and former friends are all gone, they will desperately climb up in pursuit of fame and fortune, they will lose a lot of things, and they will not contact the previous circles again, because they feel that they are no longer worthy of their identity, this is called 'forgetting their roots', but if it is just 'forgetting their roots' and there is no 'negativity', then it's okay, because at least it won't involve too much." Chu Yin said.
Along the way, what Chu Yin said benefited me a lot, this is not a simple few words, this has a certain meaning.
Back home, my parents have already started to prepare dinner, our family reunited, my parents also asked about going to Mao Liang's house today, Chu Yin and I said it was good, and the whole process did not mention Mao Liang's divorce and some temporary difficulties.
After dinner in the evening, Chu Yin and I took a bath and lay down on the bed.
Watching the TV series, I opened the WeChat circle of friends, and then I saw the dynamics of Mao Liangfa.
We are still brothers, and we are very happy today!
This is Mao Liang's dynamics, and the picture below is a group photo of me and Mao Liang together after dinner today.
Seeing Mao Liang's news, my heart warmed, and I was busy liking and commenting.
"Brother, for a lifetime!"
When I finished commenting on this sentence, I smiled.
