"When is your brother coming?"

"I don't know the exact time, but he asked Da Kui to come over and tell me, saying that he would come over tonight."

"Oh, that's okay, let's start dinner later." Hou Dalin's mood was even lower, on this special day, he really didn't like such an atmosphere.

Hou Dalin finished cooking slowly, and it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening.

With the sound of bicycles, several people stopped at the door of the repair shop.

"Brother!" Tong Hui saw the person who opened the curtain and came in, and immediately pounced.

The man accepted the bear hug a little helplessly, and then patted Tong Hui on the back and motioned for her to let go.

Hou Dalin stood at the door of the kitchen, watching their interaction expressionlessly.

"Xiaohui, I'm here this time to ......"

"Brother, let's eat first! Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, let's eat first, and then talk about it after eating, Dalin has been busy for this for most of the day. Tong Hui interrupted her brother's words and pointed at Hou Dalin again.

Tong Hui's brother looked at his sister and then at Hou Dalin, and then raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. Then he said, "Okay, you eat quickly, we are very short on time." ”

One sentence made Tong Hui and Hou Dalin nervous.

At first, they all thought that Tong Hui's brother was just coming to see his sister. But Brother Tong Hui asked her to eat faster, which is a bit unusual.

"Brother, what do you mean by that?" Tong Hui didn't say that she would eat first, she never thought that this might be the last meal she had here.

"It's not interesting, Mom has a letter to inform us to pass. We have to go today, we still have a long way to go. ”

Hearing this, without waiting for Tong Hui to speak, Hou Dalin shouted: "You want to defect? ”

"Hou Dalin, you speak carefully, who is going to defect? We're just leaving, not defecting! No! Tong Hui's brother Tong Hao, when he heard the word defection, he was anxious on the spot.

He is just a young man in his twenties, and he grew up in a large courtyard since he was a child, enjoying the envy and worship of everyone.

But in just a few months, everything changed for him. The huge gap makes this self-proclaimed smart and brave man in his twenties very sensitive.

"Hou Dalin, you speak carefully. We're just going to avoid the limelight, not defecting, no! Tong Hao lowered his voice vigorously, gritted his teeth and said such a sentence.

Hou Dalin nodded, he somewhat understood that this young man who had a sense of honor since he was a child, at this time he had to give up everything here, give up his previous persistence, and give up his former honor, which was indeed a little overwhelmed and frightening for him.

He cares so much about Hou Dalin's words, which just shows this.

He also wanted to maintain the last of his dignity and faith.

Hou Dalin nodded, it's okay to go, you can avoid the next rights and wrongs if you go, at least you don't have to let Tong Hui suffer anymore.

He picked up his glass, took a sip, and then said, "I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know."

Maybe you have a hundred, ten thousand reasons to go, but I tell you, you have to remember two things.

First, don't betray your beliefs and don't do anything that hurts the motherland.

Second, take care of your sister.

If you can't do these two things, you'll go to the ends of the earth, and I can kill you!

You don't have to doubt whether I can do it, if you don't believe it, you can ask Tong Hui. ”

Hou Dalin's words gave this sensitive and fearful young man a little courage.

He looked at Hou Dalin squarely, clenched his fists and said, "I'm telling you, I'm not a coward, I'm not a soft bone, no!" I just..."

"Okay, okay, you don't have to tell me this, I'm not interested in hearing it. You just have to remember my request, if you can't do it, you just wait for me to find you! ”

Next, Hou Dalin didn't say a word, just ate and drank alone. In the end, even when Tong Hui said goodbye to him, he didn't raise his eyelids, but just put a keychain brought from the previous life on the table and signaled to send her.

Tong Hui left, and when she left, she only took a small satchel with her, as well as the keychain that Hou Dalin gave her.

Looking at the empty room, and then at the thick envelope left by Tong Hao, Hou Dalin shook his head, and finally did not say a word.

……

In the middle courtyard, Silly Zhu made a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and actually went back to the house alone. The old lady sat down at the table, looked around the figure of no stupid pillar, and felt very unhappy.

"What about my eldest grandson? Why can't he come over to eat? ”

Uncle Yi smiled, glanced at Qin Huairu, who was sitting opposite, and explained: "Old lady, the pillar has been cooking for a long time, maybe he is tired, I will let him go back to the house to lie down for a while, and call him when the meal is served." Then he said to the first aunt: "Go and call the pillar, eat first, and then go to bed after eating." ”

Aunt Yi nodded, got up and went to Silly Zhu's house.

Silly Zhu's mental state in the past two days has been very bad, and the daughter-in-law who just said that he was good, because of the gossip of the neighbors, has made the Ran family not let him enter the door now.

He couldn't figure out what was wrong with these people? How can you gossip like this? Why can't you see him?

In the past few days, he has tried his best, and it is impossible to block other people's mouths, after all, his mouth is on others, what can he do?

The third master is an insatiable master, and he bought him so many things, but what is the result? When he arrived at Ran's house, he was pouted back by someone in three or two sentences, and the three masters who could usually speak well became a kowtow worm who could only say misunderstandings at that time.

Do you really have to use the trick Hou Dalin said? Ask his dad to come out? He couldn't make up his mind, and to be honest, he hated that he didn't have that dad himself.

But the blows in the past few days made him have to consider the feasibility of this method, after all, he hated his father, but compared to Ran Qiuye, it was still a layer worse.

"Pillar, it's time to eat, the old lady can't see you, so she won't move her chopsticks. Let's get over there. For the New Year, many unhappy things have to be let go. "An aunt went into the house of the stupid pillar and persuaded him to go over for dinner.

Silly Zhu turned over and got out of bed, and followed Aunt Yi into the old lady's house.

"Grandson, come, sit here!" The old lady pointed to the empty seat beside her and beckoned the stupid pillar to sit down.

"How can I sit in that position, no, no, let's not mess with the seniority."

"Let you sit down, why haven't I seen you so well-behaved before? Why are you paying attention to it today? Qin Huairu glanced at the stupid pillar, and all kinds of styles were sandwiched in this look.

"Rules are rules, we have to talk about rules, don't we, Aunt Jia, you should sit in that position, come on, please take a seat."

"I'll sit, this, is this appropriate, you say!" Jia Zhang is very happy that he has not been treated like this since his son died. So he said that it was not appropriate, but his body stood up.
