Quietly in the back room, Cheng Jia'an was sitting on the edge of the bed with reading glasses, reading the letters exchanged with his wife back then, as if he was completely immersed in his own world, and he didn't hear Cheng Jianghe's call at all.

Waiting for Cheng Jianghe to put down the things in his hand and come to him, he reacted and blamed him in a daze.

"Jianghe, why did you come back? Didn't I tell you, Xihu Township is quite far away from here, don't keep running around and delay work. ”

Cheng Jianghe's heart was sour, he took two steps forward and sat aside, and said softly: "Dad, haven't I told you several times!" I've been transferred back to the city, why did you forget? ”

Cheng Jia'an's face froze, and after thinking about it for a while, he babbled and said, "Oh, it's back, it's back." ”

Seeing that his father's dementia was getting more and more serious, Cheng Jianghe forcibly suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said warmly: "Dad, don't keep trapping yourself at home, it's okay to play chess and boxing with Uncle Lu and them." ”

Cheng Jia'an's cloudy eyes did not have a trace of brilliance, and he responded in a daze: "Oh, boxing, good!" Go back! ”

Looking at his father's trance-like spirit, Cheng Jianghe shook his head gloomily like a stone in his heart, and then walked out of the house, with a little blame, and frowned at Cheng Jianghai: "Dad's spirit is getting worse and worse." ”

Cheng Jianghai twisted his face in a tangled way, and said bitterly: "Dad was able to do activities with a few masters some time ago, but I don't like to go out more and more these days." I have been persuaded, but I always don't listen! ”

Cheng Jianghe sat down slowly, glanced at his younger brother who was a little nervous, and said anxiously: "Dad, in this state, I don't feel at ease if I leave you alone to take care of it." ”

"Brother, I'm ......"

Cheng Jianghai, who tried his best to protect his father, felt a little aggrieved, lowered his head, and said nothing.

"Let's talk about this when my sister comes back!"

Cheng Jianghe didn't explain anything, and seemed to be unimpressed by his brother's frustration. From the bottom of his heart, he really didn't feel at ease about completely handing over his old and sick father to this frizzy younger brother. has learned enough lessons, even if Cheng Jianghai has completely changed his appearance in the past few years, he is not at ease, he is not at ease, how can it be so easy to change.

Looking at the cane in his brother's hand, Cheng Jianghe stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the cane, what can you do if you are clumsy!" Go, get me some rubber. ”

Cheng Jianghai hurriedly agreed, handed over the cane, and then brought the rubber again, and then squatted beside him carefully, watching Cheng Jianghe smash the cane stupidly......

How familiar the picture of this scene is, and the childhood memories in those group fields are slowly coming back.

"Hey, Cheng Jianghe, you are the eldest grandson of our family......"

"Sister, you're here again!"

"Not really! Jiang Hai is bullied, who will come out if you don't come out at this time? You're too embarrassed to be our family. ”

"Okay, okay, oh, I'm out, I'm going to be okay."

"Oh, my brother is the best, my brother is the best!"

"As I just said, it's just a kite, who is it for? And who don't play with it? Well, I can make one for each of you, but on one condition...... No one is allowed to bully Jiang Hai in the future! ”

Scenes of memories, bursts of warmth.

At that time, my brother's hand was the most ingenious, and anything could be made in a different way, and my brother at that time was also the one that Cheng Jianghai admired and relied on the most. How many years have passed, Cheng Jianghai still remembers that his brother bravely stood in front and protected his weak self.

But now that mountain-like figure and the warmth of care seem to be a very distant thing.

I don't know when the worship of my brother turned into fear, and the closeness to my brother turned into avoidance.

You may have to blame yourself for this, who made this family step by step to where it is today?

Cheng Jianghai recalled stupidly, completely stunned, until Cheng Jianghe pushed his arm, which made him wake up.

"What are the hair, scissors, scissors hand me them!" Cheng Jianghe said with a frown.

"Oh, brother, give!" Cheng Jianghai hurriedly picked up the scissors and handed them over.

Cheng Jianghe opened his mouth to reproach: "What a big person, I don't pay attention to anything!" ”

Cheng Jianghai bit his lip and muttered: "Brother, it's still your skill, I think of when you were a child, you made kites and wooden guns for the children in our group, and you also earned a lot of money for the family!" ”

Cheng Jianghe's subordinates suddenly paused.

Yes, in that carefree era, although it was extremely lacking in material resources and nothing, the happiness and joy of childhood were full, and the family was always smiling.

But now?

Once he remembered his mother's death, he didn't even enjoy a trace of blessings from himself, and he was really a little angry in addition to regretting, Cheng Jianghe instantly pulled down his face, glared at Cheng Jianghai and said hatefully: "It was originally a good home, but it was like this, who is to blame!" ”

After saying that, Cheng Jianghe suddenly felt uncomfortable, threw the cane back to Cheng Jianghai, turned his head and went back to the house. Cheng Jianghai, who was miserable in his heart, squatted at the entrance of the corridor in a daze, his heart was intertwined with endless remorse and grievances, and he lowered his head embarrassedly.

To this day, my brother still hasn't completely forgiven himself, and the indifference is as indelible as the roots of an old tree, and the sadness in his heart can be imagined.

Cheng Jianghai looked at the ground stupidly, his eyes were clouded with moisture.

After a while, Cheng Jiangshui rushed back, looked at Cheng Jianghai squatting on the ground and was stunned, and stepped forward in surprise and asked, "Jiang Hai, why are you alone here in a daze, what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Jianghai hurriedly covered up and said, "Oh, nothing? Brother is already here. ”

The slight abnormality of the younger brother made Cheng Jiangshui suddenly feel surprised, frowned and said, "It's Jianghe who said you again, right?" ”

Cheng Jianghai hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I just remembered something." ”

There is no need to guess what happened to Cheng Jiangshui, she let out a soft sigh in her heart, and said softly: "Hurry up and go into the house, don't be nervous and squatting here alone." ”

The two entered the house and were just in time for Cheng Jianghe to help Cheng Jiaan sit on the sofa.

"Sister, you're here."

Cheng Jiangshui put down the bag in his hand, waved his hand to signal Cheng Jianghai to sit down, opened his hand and asked, "Jianghe, you have gathered everyone together, is there something wrong?" ”

Cheng Jianghe turned his head to look at his infatuated father, pursed his lips, and looked very solemn: "Sister, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

"Say what?"

"You all know my situation, Dongmei is also going to be transferred back to the Meteorological Bureau, originally Dongmei's father wanted to get us a house through a relationship, but I didn't want it!"

Cheng Jiangshui thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's right, Dongmei just returned to the bureau and divided the house, how many people poked the backbone behind this, you can't do it, and persuade Dongmei not to be fascinated by the things in front of you." ”

Cheng Jianghe nodded earnestly: "Well, I know this, so I also applied to the school, and the school recently assigned me a two-bedroom dormitory, although it is a temporary residence, the conditions are not bad." ”

Cheng Jiangshui blinked his eyes and hesitated: "This is a good thing, what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Jianghe glanced at Cheng Jianghai, who was silent, rubbed his fingers, and said hesitantly: "I'll just think about it, Dad's spirit is not very good now, Jiang Hai will take care of it alone, I ...... I really don't have faith in him......"

Listening to Cheng Jianghe's words, Cheng Jianghai drooped his head, not daring to say anything, but there was a bitter loss in his heart. Cheng Jiangshui turned his head to look at it, and then frowned.

Cheng Jianghe paused slightly, and continued: "So, I want to take my dad to live with me, at least Dongmei and I are here, and we can take care of it more thoughtfully." Sister, what do you see? ”

Cheng Jianghe said that he was the eldest grandson of the long house, but Cheng Jiangshui, the eldest sister, was making decisions about the major affairs in the family, especially at the moment when Cheng Jia'an was old and unhelpful, Cheng Jiangshui's opinion was basically the final decision of the family, and even Cheng Jianghe did not dare to disobey it at this point.

Regarding Cheng Jianghe's suggestion, Cheng Jiangshui thought about it carefully and said, "Jianghe, I can understand your feelings. It's not me who said it, Dongmei said that she is a big girl, you let her take care of her father, isn't it embarrassing for others! ”

Cheng Jianghe sat up slightly straighter, and quickly explained: "I have discussed with Dongmei, first hire a temporary worker for Dad, we will accompany Dad when we go to work, and we will take care of it ourselves after work." Besides, the dormitory is right in the school, so it's easy for me to go back and forth. ”

"Please, this ......"

Cheng Jiangshui suddenly hesitated a little, turned his head to Cheng Jia'an and asked, "Dad, what do you see?" ”

Cheng Jia'an had been sitting on the side and was silent, sometimes sober and sometimes confused in his mind, but at this time he muttered abruptly.

"I'm not going!"
