The moon is already bright in the sky, a pair of big hands on the ground are holding a pair of small hands on the stone road, Jiang Qi is holding the only electric flashlight in the house to illuminate the road, Xiao Kai looked up at him and asked: "Uncle Qi, why do my parents always quarrel, why don't you quarrel with grandma?" ”

Jiang Qi bent down and patted his back with his hand, the little kid immediately climbed up, Jiang Qi said as he walked: "Xiao Kai, people are different from each other, quarreling does not mean that two people are not good, the more people quarrel, the better." Just like me and your Uncle Shaobin, I often beat him, you see if we still play together every day, your parents are the same, I promise that they will be reconciled when we go back, so don't worry. "Hmm..."

Carrying Xiao Kai on his back for about half a minute, the little kid was already lying on Jiang Qi's back and falling asleep, Jiang Qi was a little away from Xiao Kai's house, not as Jiang Qi said, there was still a man's intermittent voice in the front room.

"I told you about divorce a few years ago, but now it's okay, I look at me every day, I can't do anything, even if I beg you, I can't do it, I can't do it, you don't care about me, take the child away, please..."

Jiang Qi listened to the sound coming from the house, accompanied by a woman's cry, he sighed, carried the child back for some distance, and stood under an old tree.

I still remember that Xiao Kai's mother would often go to Jiang Qi to buy some eels back the year before last, and then Jiang Qi heard the old man in the village say that Xiao Kai's father had cancer, according to the old man, he ate whatever he wanted, and it was difficult to get out of bed now, and some old people said that Xiao Kai's family built a house with bad feng shui, and earlier, Xiao Kai's uncle fell to his death because of building a house, and the two brothers left Xiao Kai's father, and now he has this disease again. Anyway, there are all kinds of theories.

Xiao Kai has been telling him all these years that Xiao Kai's father has been driving him and his mother back to his grandmother's house, as long as his parents quarrel, Xiao Kai will run to Jiang Qi's house and dare not go back.

Nearly five minutes passed, Jiang Qi listened to the sound in the room gradually weakening, shrugged the child behind him with his hand, and then walked over and knocked on the door. Obviously, this is not the first time, the door is only half-hidden, Jiang Qi knocked on the door and then pushed the door in, and saw Xu Ying, the mother of Xiaokai in the inner room, walking out, her eyes were red, it was obvious that she had just cried, she wiped her eyes with her hand, and said, "Xiaoqi, I have worked hard for you again." Jiang Qi turned around and gave her the sleeping child on his back, "Sister-in-law Yingzi, Xiao Kai has eaten at my side, you can take him to sleep first." ”

Watching Yingzi's sister-in-law take the child to the inner room, Jiang Qi walked to the corner and put the bag in his hand aside, sat down on the stool next to him, and after a while, Xu Ying walked out and looked at the bag in the corner, "Xiaoqi, I got you a hundred yuan, you take it!" After speaking, she was going to stuff it into Jiang Qi's hand, and in the past two years, every time she gave Jiang Qi money, Jiang Qi didn't accept it. She had to stuff it into Jiang Qi's hand.

Jiang Qi pushed it back with his hand and said, "Sister-in-law Yingzi, it's okay, I really don't need it, I still have a lot of this fish at home, I can't finish eating it, if you do this again, I won't dare to come over next time." Xu Ying wiped her eyes again, "There are still some eggs at home, and you will bring them back to grandma later." "No, no, you keep it for Xiao Kai, I still have it at home, Xiao Kai is growing up, I'll go in and see Brother Yun, Sister-in-law Yingzi will make a bowl of soup for Brother Yun with the eel!" After speaking, Jiang Qi walked to the room on the right.

Jiang Qi adjusted his mood at the door of the house, and entered the house with a smile, as soon as he entered the house, a strong smell of Chinese medicine came to his nose, and on a wooden bed against the wall in the house, there was a man lying with his back to him, and the bedside was full of bottles and cans of medicine, "Brother Yun!" Jiang Qi originally wanted to say that he was feeling better, but he didn't say anything when he got to his mouth, but just called him softly, and heard the sound of Yingzi's sister-in-law carrying the bag to the back outside the house, Jiang Qi casually picked up the stool, came to the bed and sat down, and continued: "Brother Yun, Xiaokai, I'll send it back, sister-in-law will help you get something to eat, or you will go to sleep after eating?" ”

The man on the bed moved, as if he had exhausted all his strength and slowly turned his body, Jiang Qi immediately picked up the pillow on the bed and padded his body, helped him sit up straight, looking at Brother Yun in front of him, Jiang Qi felt a lot of emotion in his heart, the former Brother Yun was so vibrant, in Jiang Qi's childhood memory, Brother Yun was so tall, always greeted people with a smile, and remembered that he had also slept on his back like Xiao Kai, and now that tall figure has become bedridden, his face has become thin, It felt like there was no flesh anymore, and the black hair was long gone, and Jiang Qi could no longer see the previous light in his sunken eyes.

Jiang Qi lowered his head, he didn't know what to say to comfort the man in front of him, the only thing he could do in the past two years was to hope that he could catch a few more yellow eels every day, and then send them to Yingzi's sister-in-law, the old man said that the yellow eel replenishes the body, and the other teenagers can't do anything.

Brother Yun raised his hand with difficulty and put it on Jiang Qi's hand, "Xiao Qi, I'm sorry, you have a hard life, it stands to reason that the brother should take good care of you, but he has caused you so much trouble in the past few years, Xiao Kai has been thanks to you in the past few years." ”

Jiang Qi poured a cup of hot boiling water and handed it to Brother Yun, and said: "Brother Yun, don't say that, Kai Kai is often on my side, it's too late for me to be happy, many people talk to grandma, and grandma won't be lonely." It's me who should thank Kai. ”

Brother Yun looked sideways at the outside of the house and said, "Xiaoqi, in my brother's current situation, I can't live if I want to, I want to die... Your sister-in-law won't give you a chance, you can help me persuade your sister-in-law to take Kaikai away! Even if brother begs you... I really can't go on like this, I'm begging you, okay, okay... Ahh

In fact, Jiang Qi knew that every time Xiao Kai said that his parents quarreled, part of the reason was that Brother Yun wanted to drive away Xu Ying and Xiao Kai, and most of the reason was that Brother Yun himself had no idea of living, and he didn't want to drag down their mother and son, and he always wanted to... After several failed attempts, Xu Ying threw away all the sharp objects in the house, as well as some crop medicines.

Jiang Qi didn't speak again, he looked down at the floor, he really couldn't think of anything that could persuade this man, he had said what he had to say in the past two years. In fact, whenever he heard Xiao Kai say that his parents were quarreling again, Jiang Qi felt a lot more down-to-earth, at least.... People are still there, aren't they?

"Xiaoqi, when you are a brother, please do something!" "No, absolutely not! No way! Jiang Qi raised his head and said.

Brother Yun smiled, although Jiang Qi couldn't see the smile on his face, "Xiao Qi, brother knows what you think, I don't mean this, I mean Xiao Kai, Xiao Kai, this child, brother can't stand him, I want to say that after I leave, you help brother and enlighten him, and when brother leaves, your sister-in-law will take him back to her parents' house to live, and I will be no longer there by then, and you will not be by his side to watch him, brother is worried!" Brother Yun said and took Jiang Qi's hand and continued: "Xiao Kai's life is hard, you are even more hard, but my brother is very relieved to see you now, my brother is afraid that Xiao Kai's child will not have a brother to teach him in the future, in case he goes on the wrong path, you say..." "Brother doesn't dare to think about his future life now, what will he do if he is bullied in the future? Before he leaves the village, remember to enlighten him more. "Brother, thank you!"

Jiang Qi withdrew his hand, covered his face with both hands, choked and said, "Brother Yun, don't be like this, you tell him yourself, I don't understand a lot of truths, you teach him yourself, I'm afraid I can't teach him well." "It's okay, my brother will teach him, but my brother also believes in you!"

"Xiaoqi, come, this bowl of soup will be given to you first." Outside the house, the voice of Yingzi's sister-in-law was heard. "Then, be careful, I'll go back and bring another bowl."

Jiang Qi stood up and took the soup, put it on Brother Yun's bedside table, turned around and didn't look at Brother Yun, and said, "Brother Yun, I'll go back first, if... I mean, if there is a day, can you not... In front of Xiao Kai. After speaking, Jiang Qi walked out of the house.

"Okay!" "Xiaoqi, the soup hasn't been drunk yet! This kid. "Two voices came from the room.
