Near dusk, Cheng Jianghai returned to Jiuzi Lane after school, and happened to meet his neighbors Jiang Yanmei and Lu Guangping at the entrance of the alley.

Cheng Jianghai stepped forward very politely and said hello: "Aunt Jiang, Uncle Lu." ”

"Jiang Hai is out of school."

"Well, it's school!" Cheng Jianghai nodded with a smile.

Lu Guangping stepped forward and said, "Jiang Hai, tell your father, your gas tank has been filled, and the gas station will let you take it and change it." ”

"Oh, thank you, Uncle Lu, I'll change it when I get back."

Cheng Jianghai happily responded, and then asked, "Eh, Uncle Lu, what about your family?" I'll change it back for you by the way, your legs and feet aren't bad. ”

Since the husband and wife's only son, Lu Yuanshuo, studied in a high school in another city, the husband and wife basically can't count on it, and they have to do everything themselves.

Lu Guangping squinted his eyes and looked at Cheng Jianghai, and said suspiciously: "Well, can you do it alone?" ”

Cheng Jianghai nodded very affirmatively: "Yes, I changed it the first few times." ”

"Alright then, thank you!"

Lu Guangping agreed after a little thought, and then thought of something, stepped forward and said, "By the way, I look like Jiang He is back, you should hurry back." ”

"Ahh I...... My brother is back. ”

Cheng Jianghai's face suddenly turned pale, as if he had fallen into an ice cave with one foot in the air, and his legs trembled involuntarily.

Jiang Yanmei on the side asked suspiciously, "What's wrong Jiang Hai?" ”

"Uh, it's okay, it's okay. Then Uncle Lu and Aunt Jiang are gone. ”

Cheng Jianghai's voice was full of trills, as if he was full of heart, trembling forward. The husband and wife watched Cheng Jianghai walk away, and their expressions immediately became strange, and Jiang Yanmei sighed with emotion: "Don't say it, Jiang Hai's child has become more and more sensible." ”

Lu Guangping blinked, and said suspiciously: "Yes, even we can't recognize it, is this still the little villain who climbed over the wall and exposed the tiles and was hated by everyone back then?" ”

"Hey!"

Jiang Yanmei's eyes sank slightly, thinking about Li Xiulan, who was still slumped on the bed, she sighed deeply and said: "If only I could have changed it earlier, it wouldn't have been like this, this kid has been uncomfortable all these years." ”

"Oh, it's not!" Lu Guangping sighed.

The news of his brother's return was like a thick dark cloud suddenly hanging over Cheng Jianghai's head, and then a burst of electricity rushed up from his scalp, and his hair stood on end, as if a huge panicked lightning could be split from this dense dark cloud at any time.

This fear is deep in the bone marrow, and Cheng Jianghe's fist has always been Cheng Jianghai's nightmare.

Cheng Jianghai stood at the door of his house nervously, listening to the noise inside, and couldn't move his trembling legs. Especially when I heard the sound of Cheng Jianghe, a cold river flowed down my back. Just when Baizhuan was anxious, Cheng Jiangshui came out to serve the food, looked at Cheng Jianghai outside, and asked suspiciously: "Jianghai, when did you come back?" Why don't you go inside? ”

Cheng Jianghai twisted his face and said curtly: "Uh, just came back, just came back." ”

Cheng Jiangshui looked at his younger brother's timid appearance, turned his head and rushed to the door to look, and then he knew it, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Okay, come in!" ”

was pulled into the door by her sister, and everyone in the room immediately became silent. Cheng Jianghai drooped his head, looked at Cheng Jianghe sitting at the dinner table with his spare eyes, and said hello resignedly: "Brother! ”

I haven't seen him for a few years, but Cheng Jianghai has grown a lot taller, and he still has the appearance of Li Xiulan faintly, his eyes are like black agate, and his black hair has a silky luster. Although the coat is a little shabby, it looks decent on the body, and on the surface, it looks really a suave character. But as soon as he thought of his past sins, Cheng Jianghe couldn't help but get angry, glared at him fiercely, and his face became a little unkind.

"Ahem!" Seeing that Cheng Jianghe was still hanging on his face, Cheng Jiangshui was a little annoyed in his heart, coughing twice, with a thick warning.

Cheng Jianghe pursed his lips and replied helplessly: "After school?" Go wash your hands and eat. ”

"Oh!" Cheng Jianghai hurriedly lowered his head and went to the outhouse to wash his hands. Cheng Jiangshui Lotus moved lightly, sitting next to Cheng Jianghe, frowning, staring at him with phoenix eyes, his meaning was self-evident. Cheng Jianghe smiled wryly, and apologized, not daring to disobey his sister again.

When Cheng Jianghai hesitantly sat down at the dinner table, Cheng Jia'an raised his wine glass, the family rules are still the same, and he, the head of the family, must speak first: "Well, Jiang Hai is also out of school, and now our family is really here." Come, let's have a drink, which can be regarded as celebrating our Jianghe graduation and returning home, and I also wish Jianghe a good job in the future. Here, cheers! ”

Raise a glass to the shadow and drink yourself, one cup is bitter, and two cups are mourning. In the past, Cheng Jia'an didn't actually have any alcohol addiction, but he was entangled in depression for many years, and he didn't leave cigarettes and alcohol just to talk about comfort.

After everyone raised their glasses and drank together, He Yi'an picked up the wine glass alone, perhaps hiding his heart deeply, looking indifferent from the past on the surface, and said softly: "Jianghe, I respect you for this cup and congratulate you on your return." ”

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Putting down the wine glass, He Yi'an thought for a moment and asked, "Is there an eyebrow for the next step?" Do you have to go through any procedures? ”

"Well, I'll go to the Education Bureau to make a record when I go back, and then wait for them to notify me, and it's not clear which school I can be assigned to."

Cheng Jia'an, who was on the other side, straightened up a little and asked expectantly, "Can you stay in the city?" ”

Cheng Jianghe's face darkened, and he said in a tangled manner: "Dad, it is estimated that there will be very few places in the city, everyone must be breaking their heads and drilling in, our family has no background and no backstage, I estimate that it is hanging." ”

Hearing this, the others were nothing, but He Yi'an blushed and said ashamedly: "I'm sorry Jianghe, your brother-in-law doesn't have any skills, just stay in a small archive, he doesn't have any connections, and he really can't help you this time." ”

He Yi'an's remarks are not so much telling the truth as self-pity. He knew very well in his heart that Cheng Jianghe had always taken himself as an example. My original intention was also to hold up a piece of heaven and earth, so that fellow relatives could benefit from me. But the sadness of reality has long made him lose that heart, and the role model has now become a hemp rope tofu that he can't mention, which is really shameless. Cheng Jiangshui, who was on the side, heard these lonely words, and a burst of sadness couldn't help but appear on his face.

Cheng Jianghe, who didn't know anything, didn't notice He Yi'an's inappropriateness, and said confidently: "Brother-in-law, it's okay, let's not talk about it, our Cheng family's children have always relied on themselves and not on others." ”

He Yi'an smiled self-deprecatingly, with a sad face: "Yes, yes!" ”

At this time, Cheng Jianghai suddenly picked up the soda bottle beside him, stood up tremblingly, held his hands, and looked respectful, but he didn't dare to stare at Cheng Jianghe directly, and said with low eyebrows: "Brother, I'm ...... I respect you too! ”

Cheng Jianghai's somewhat abrupt move suddenly made everyone stunned, their mouths opened wide, and their eyes looked at the brothers without blinking. Cheng Jianghe frowned, stared at Cheng Jianghai for a long time, turned his head and looked at Cheng Jiangshui's expectant eyes, and suddenly his heart softened.

"Ahem, don't mess around anymore." Saying that, Cheng Jianghe picked up the wine glass and gently touched Cheng Jianghai, and then drank it all.

Brother's simple action has stirred up huge waves in Cheng Jianghai's heart, maybe from today onwards, my brother will slowly accept himself. Don't ask for forgiveness or forgiveness, with this harmonious beginning, it is enough to make Cheng Jianghai ecstatic.

"yes, I see!" Cheng Jianghai nodded earnestly, then turned to Cheng Jiangshui and said, "Sister, you eat first." Just now, Uncle Lu said that the gas tank at home has been filled, let me change it. ”

Cheng Jiangshui frowned lightly: "But you haven't finished eating yet." ”

"I'm afraid that I will have to get off work when I go to the gas station late, and Uncle Lu's family will also have to change it." Cheng Jianghai responded anxiously, and the comfort of his mood was undoubtedly obvious.

"Oh, then you go quickly, and I'll leave you some food when I get back."

"Then I'll use your bike." Cheng Jianghai nodded, turned around, and sneered at Cheng Jianghe: "Uh, brother, I'm ...... I went first......"

Cheng Jianghe frowned and said in a very uncertain tone: "Can you do it?" ”

"Yes, surely!" Cheng Jianghai replied conclusively.

Cheng Jiangshui smiled slightly and said, "You let him go, Jiang Hai is doing the heavy work at home now, and his strength is much stronger than mine." ”

Cheng Jianghe looked at Cheng Jianghai in surprise, and said hesitantly: "That...... Then there you go. ”

Seeing Cheng Jianghai rushing out of the door, Cheng Jiangshui smiled lightly and said to Cheng Jianghe: "Look, Jiang Hai has grown up, you still don't believe it." ”

Cheng Jianghe asked suspiciously: "You are really relieved that he will change the gas tank!" ”

Cheng Jia'an smashed his mouth and said peacefully: "This Jianghai can work, I can rest assured, you will know in the future." ”

"Oh oh oh!" Cheng Jianghe nodded.
