Landa, on the shore of Yuxiu Lake.

The blue sky and clear water reflect the willows, and the pavilions and pavilions with carved beams and paintings are full of shadows in a verdant green. The cool morning breeze stirred the treetops and wrinkled the lake.

This is the favorite place for young people to stay, or sit alone with books, or linger with couples, whether it is a heroic dry cloud and needs to sing about wine, or a thousand sorrows to whisper and wander, it is the best place to go.

He Yi'an likes to be alone here, happy and sad.

When you are happy, you pick up a stone and make a few spins on the surface of the lake, and then open your throat and roar, startling countless "mandarin ducks". When he is sad, he sits alone in the quietest corner, completely silent in his own world, and transmits his sad feelings to the busy insects and ants at his feet.

It's just that today is a little different, and the shadow of Cheng Jianghe appeared beside him.

After that simple and efficient family meeting, under Cheng Jiangshui's strong style, despite all kinds of reluctance, Cheng Jianghe was forcibly driven back to Lanzhou the next day.

In Cheng Jiangshui's words, as long as there is still his eldest daughter in the family, it will not be Cheng Jianghe's turn to pick any beams, his task is only to learn, and those unreliable ideas have to stand aside.

The relationship between the three sisters and brothers of the Cheng family is like this, one thing descends one thing.

Cheng Jiang's level is not powerful, but once he makes a decision, Cheng Jianghe will never dare to disobey in the slightest, so he can only say goodbye to his mother with tears and reluctantly return.

The first thing he did when he returned to Lanzhou was to come to Lanzhou in a hurry and tell He Yi'an, who had no idea, of the bad news.

I was in such a hurry that when I got the telegram, my head was dizzy, I couldn't take care of anything in my heart, and I didn't know why my mother was sick. Now that he is back, his worried mood makes him even more restless, and the first person who comes to mind is this eldest brother who has always been respected.

Waiting for Cheng Jianghe to finish telling everything in a choked voice, the grieving brothers looked at each other sadly and were silent. He Yi'an's tears had already slipped quietly, dripping on the surface of the lake, causing bursts of sad ripples.

Putting aside his surname, for as long as he can remember, Li Xiulan and her mother are an equal sign at all.

When you fall, I lift you up in distress;

crackles and teaches you a lesson when you're naughty;

silently with you while you are asleep;

I'm eager to leave all the best things to you when you need them.

In the most embarrassing days, every piece of clothing on her body was not sewn by Li Xiulan against the dim oil lamp, stitch by stitch. Which bite of food is not to first watch yourself gobble up your heart, and then pick up some scraps and scraps to eat; In the most critical of circumstances, what day is not like a hen ready to fight, staring at her surroundings, raising her wings and pampering herself under her wings.

To be honest, it's nothing more than treating your own flesh and blood!

Without such a mother, how can I be where I am now!

At that time, Li Xiulan's domineering lay in protecting the calf;

Later, her stubbornness was heartbroken.

The grief for the children she raised brought her was not heartfelt comfort, but endless pain. He Yi'an also understood in his heart that in the past few years, Li Xiulan has been holding a breath, although it is not aimed at herself, but this heart knot is tied by herself, and the bell must be tied to the bell, and he has nothing to do.

So He Yi'an was waiting, and he could only wait silently.

When the mother can cross that hurdle, untie the knot, and let herself return to her warm embrace, she cries and shouts to apologize. Hearing Li Xiulan forgive herself, and then go back to being a son or even a son-in-law, this is his heartfelt expectation.

Thoughts are here, no day or forget.

Originally, a hint of happiness had already appeared, but Cheng Jiangshui wrote to inform him for the first time, and for this reason, He Yi'an was ecstatic for a long time. But now Li Xiulan fell suddenly, how can this not make him sad and regretful.

Seeing He Yi'an crying sadly, Cheng Jianghe said with red eyes: "The incident happened too suddenly, the blow was too big, even my sister and I were at a loss, so I didn't have time to tell you!" ”

"Can godmother's illness be cured?" He Yi'an sobbed.

"It's hard, it's really hard!"

Cheng Jianghe's helpless eyes looked at the thick white clouds in the distance, like a lump of cotton wool blocked in his heart, which made people breathless, and said bitterly: "To a large extent, it depends on the will of God." ”

"Half a year, only half a year!"

He Yi'an seemed to be talking to himself, his strong unwillingness to lock between his eyebrows, and his voice trembled: "Why can't you wait for me?" I haven't been forgiven by you, is this going to make me feel guilty for the rest of my life? ”

Cheng Jianghe clenched his hands fiercely, and his knuckles were pinched a little blue. At this time, he could fully understand He Yi'an's regretful feelings, and whispered sadly: "Brother Yi'an, Mom is already like this, it's too late to say anything." ”

He Yi'an stood up, took two steps forward and approached the lake, groped for the mottled willows with heavy eyes, and his sad thoughts lasted for a long time, before he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned his head and asked, "So, Jiang Shui has decided to go back to Ganquan?" ”

"Well, Longyou has already done a leave of absence without pay, and there is no way out! Dad's mental state is very poor, and he can't take care of his mother at all. ”

Cheng Jianghe glanced at the other party worriedly, and said entangledly: "Originally, I didn't want to continue to go to college, so I went back and found a job to take care of my mother, but my sister didn't let me, so she just stuffed me on the train and drove me back." ”

He Yi'an frowned, and said with the sentiment of 'I was as stupid as you back then': "Jiang Shui is right, what can you do to help you when you go out to work now?" ”

In the most difficult period of the group that year, He Yi'an also wanted to give up studying and go out to work as soon as possible to help reduce the burden on his family, but Cheng Jia'an resolutely stopped him. Now that I think about it, I was indeed a little ignorant and whimsical at that time.

As the saying goes, those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people.

Is physical strength the same as intelligence?

With the accumulation of knowledge and the expansion of his horizons, he realized that "knowledge is power" is not an empty phrase. As a person who has had the same ideological misunderstanding, Cheng Jianghe has this kind of thought, and he will definitely stop it.

But although the truth is clear, it can't bear the cruelty of reality. Cheng Jianghe twisted his face and said sadly: "You know the situation at home, my mother can't eat anything from this illness, and she can only rely on nutrient solutions and medicines to maintain it every day, and the family will definitely not be able to support it in the long run." ”

"If you can't hold on, you have to hold on!"

He Yi'an secretly gritted his teeth, his brows locked tightly together, as if he had made up his mind. Since Li Xiulan has signs of relenting, maybe she has already forgiven herself, it means that she still regards herself as a member of the family, so when she is a big brother, she should have the appearance of a big brother, which is also in line with her original intention.

"Godmother has worked hard to raise our children in this life, and I came out at the earliest, and I haven't done a filial piety for so many years, but it has brought a lot of trouble to the family, and I am worse than Jiang Hai...... Jianghe, you can rest assured! This family still has me, and it's time for me to do my filial piety. ”

Cheng Jianghe raised his eyes and looked at it, and hesitated: "Brother Yi'an, then you plan to ...... in the future"

"Go back, you have to go back! I can't let Jiang Shui and my godfather hold on like this...... Fortunately, I only have half a year to go before graduation, and I will prepare for work as soon as possible during this time. ”

Listening to He Yi'an's eloquent words, Cheng Jianghe suddenly felt a lot more stable, like a floating duckweed finally had something to rely on, and then admired the eldest brother who had lived together since childhood, he looked at He Yi'an with burning eyes, and said, "Brother Yi'an, can I ask you something?" ”

"What's the matter?"

Cheng Jianghe pursed his lips, and his eyebrows showed a sense of perseverance: "I don't know Lanzhou very well, but I want to work and study, at least I can earn my own tuition, which is the only thing I can do for my family at present." ”

He Yi'an agrees with this, although it can't solve too big a problem, but at least it can share some of the family's pressure, so as not to become a drag, and it will feel a little better.

"Okay, I'll figure this out!"

He Yi'an nodded, turned his head and emphasized again: "Jianghe, you have to finish the university no matter what, so that you have the ability to help this family, understand?" ”

"I know, I'm not going to give up on my studies!"

Cheng Jianghe nodded earnestly, his slightly green face became solemn, and there was a faint sense of perseverance and perseverance: "For our family, I will also work hard." Didn't you say it all, fighting with the sky and the earth and fighting with the fate that you are not satisfied with, this is our family style! ”

yes, fight! Willing to lie dormant is not the character of the Cheng family, and it is not a family style to be obedient.

Fate likes to pluck its cold and absurd strings mercilessly and boringly, and when you have just climbed out of the swamp, before you can breathe a few breaths of fresh air, it throws you into the dark abyss, leaving you to float between hope and despair, forever wavering.

It's playful, it's ravage......

With such a bird's life, if you don't fight, if you don't fight, I'm afraid there is only one way to die.

He Yi'an happily patted Cheng Jianghe's shoulder, encouraging the other party, and also motivating himself: "Yes, you have to fight against the fate that you don't accept yourself, no matter how you have to hold on!" ”

Under the artemisia grass, there is also orchid.

Without the exception of Cheng Jianghai, the Cheng family and his wife would have been successful in raising the next generation, and they had cultivated at least three children who could inherit their excellent character.

In the years of poverty and hardship, they were still able to maintain a positive attitude, without cowardice, without retreating, which is really commendable.
