Chapter 7 He's My Brother
Ah Tu, whose full name is Ghost Land, is Long Chen's playmate when he was a child, he has shared blessings and misfortunes since he was a child, and he is very righteous and angry, and he fights together, whether he is beaten or beaten, looking at the scars on each other's faces and occasionally looking at each other and smiling. Sometimes there will be a little awkwardness, but this not only did not affect the relationship between the two at all, but made this pure brotherhood deeper, more true, not a brother, better than a brother, in the heart of Longchen, it is like this, the brothers are in the catastrophe, and they meet with a smile and enmity, the ancients said that this is probably the artistic conception.
The family is poor and has been a farmer for generations, which should be the truest portrayal of their family.
It is because of this poor family background that the father of the ghost land is extremely unwilling, he wants to fight hard for his women and children, no matter how hard he can't be bitter for the children, no matter how poor he can't be poor for his wife, not long after the full moon of the ghost land, the father of the ghost land "has been planning for a long time" plan began to be implemented.
After packing his bags and saying goodbye to his wife and children who were still sleeping in the adobe house in the early morning twilight, he ran to a big city that was so strange to him that he couldn't be stranger anymore.
This seemingly willful departure was the heaviest blow to this already broken family. Atu, the child who originally had at least one perfect family, has lost what every child should have - fatherly love. Perhaps this is part of the reason why he and Long Chen can become brothers, after all, sympathy for each other is the easiest and most convenient way to achieve a friendship.
Being strong is not innate, under the fearless persecution of the environment, this fragile woman became strong, she didn't know why her husband didn't say goodbye, but waiting for him seemed to be the only belief to live.
At that time, the most profitable was undoubtedly real estate led by construction companies, as well as the development and utilization of coal mines, and Luoquan Town was located in Shaanxi Province, and there was no doubt that the coal industry was the backbone of their economic resources.
Luckily, the man left his hometown and came to this strange city, just in time for a mining company to urgently recruit miners, and by accident he seemed to have found a job that could make a lot of money.
When the gears of fate spin non-stop, the fate of some people will change, in order to make the chips on the trading table of the company boss thicker, the miners went down the mine overnight to mine, but in the middle of the night, the earthquake quietly came, the mine collapsed into ruins, and none of the miners survived the tragic death under the mine.
The boss of the company did not want the company's interests to be damaged, so he tried his best to suppress this matter at all costs, and only compensated 20,000 yuan as a suffrage fee, according to his words: they didn't even sign a contract and couldn't be considered regular employees, they were all untouchables from the countryside who just felt unfair, what could they do with me?
An envelope, two turns of RMB, a long wait for bad news, crying, obviously calling the day unhealthy, the earth should not be, unfair? Obviously, the right to speak fairly is not in the hands of a family that has nothing.
To add insult to injury, add fuel to the fire, the stormy family is left to the mercy of the people, the people do not fight with the officials, for a woman can only do to raise their children to adulthood, as for the so-called fairness, just hand over to the heavens who close their eyes and see the world!
Gradually, Ah Tu grew up, because every time he asked his mother where his father was, his mother would always cry for a long time, and then keep silent, and ask more and more, his mother's eyes were like glue, and they became more and more blurred, so Ah Tu simply stopped asking.
Don't say that there is no love in the marriage of the parents' order matchmaker, love at first sight may not be more true than love for a long time, love a person is not to go with him, but to live well, with every day, every moment to experience the heartache of losing the love, just like "I live at the head of the Yangtze River, you live at the end of the Yangtze River, I miss you every day, and drink the water of the Yangtze River together".
Just yesterday morning, Ah Tu got up unusually early and came to find Longchen to go out for a run together, and Longchen, who was at a loss, had to rub his hazy sleepy eyes and follow him out for a run.
Trotting all the way, looking around all the way, Long Chen didn't understand what this kid was stimulated by, what was there to look at in the place from childhood to adulthood, that is, he knew where it was flat with his eyes closed, where the ravines spread, where the flowers were, and where the grass was,,,,,,
At the top of the hill, two teenagers, facing the rising sun, have no extra words, this is their favorite place when they were children, quiet, peaceful, no one disturbs, look at the stars, admire the moon, talk about their hearts,,,,
"Xiaochen, I don't want to live so mediocre, I want to go out and break through, in the past few years, my mother has told me intermittently, my father's affairs, just because we are not strong enough, just because our fists are not big enough, just because we are not hard enough in the background, so our lives are not as good as a pet in their eyes, trampling on them at will, even if they die, it is as if nothing has happened" His eyes were full of grief and unwillingness, and perhaps there were wisps of fighting spirit, and after a pause, he continued: " I know that the university and myself have no fate, I am not the material for studying, I want to go out and mix a famous hall, even if it is to lose my own life, since there is no one to administer justice, then I will preside over it, since there are no rules in this world, then I will set it up myself, I used to think that God gave me this shit-like fate, it was a test for myself, but now I think it is so ridiculous, my fate will always be in my own hands, and my life is up to me. ”
Silence, silence, Xiao Chen pondered, Ah Tu looked at it from afar, each with their own thoughts, today's Ah Tu has grown up and has begun his own transformation.
Looking at Long Chen and thinking deeply, Ah Tu didn't bother him, maybe he also needs a chance to grow, Ah Tu is gone, with the morning sun on his back, the sun's elongated figure is trampled under his feet, maybe the only enemy in his life is himself, when one day he can trample himself under his feet, it is a myth that stands proudly between heaven and earth.
