A piece of houses surrounded by high-rise buildings, no one lives here, almost every bungalow is empty, the weeds in the yard have already grown to half the height of a person, it is in a depression, and the prosperity of the past can't be seen at all .

The white-haired man walked into the narrow alley step by step, and found the house that belonged to him by relying on the appearance in his memory.

dong dong dong...

Knocking lightly, the sound from the iron door brought his memory back to that year.

A year that is both exciting and regrettable for a lifetime.

"Old Wu, please forgive me this time, I really can't help it."

A man in an old-fashioned suit knelt in front of another man, knocking his head one after another, his forehead covered in blood mist.

And those hundreds of yuan bills were thrown all over the ground, which was even more apparent at first glance.

"You know, my wife has been in poor health since she gave birth to Xiaotian. If there is not enough money for medical treatment, she will die!"

"That's why you betrayed me?"

The man sitting on the chair glared fiercely at his good friend. The two of them had grown up playing together in crotch pants, went to college together, worked together, and lived together, thinking that they would never betray each other in this life.

however,
"Old Zhao, do you know that I have always trusted you, but you actually took other people's black money behind my back, so you are not afraid of getting caught?"

"me……"

A few words made him speechless, his mouth opened and closed, I was stunned for a long time, but I couldn't say a complete sentence.

That's right, no matter what the reasons are, you must never do such unconscionable things, let alone push your good brother to take the blame.

"Ok."

After breaking the jar for a while, he stood up from the ground and wiped off the blood beads that had flowed onto his face, "Old Wu, I did something sorry to you once, so I can't do it again, I'm going to surrender now , I admit everything!"

Making up his mind, he turned and left resolutely, but he was called back after he hadn't walked a few steps.

"I'll admit it!"

The man spoke word by word, every word was full of courage, "Huifang needs you, you must be by her side, this matter is not only the responsibility of our engineering department, even if you really have to go to jail , and it won't be too long."

He couldn't help but watch his old friend's family fall apart, the child was still so young, and his wife had to take a lot of medicine every day in order to live in a crooked way.

If even this pillar is gone, how should a large family live?
"Old Zhao, it's okay to do something wrong once, but don't do it again."

"I know, I know I was wrong, I know all this is my confusion!"

He said with snot and tears, and his heart was even more sour, "Old Wu, if you handle everything alone, you will never be able to work in the construction industry anymore. Have you ever thought about how to live in the future? ?”

"Sell the house and go back to the countryside with the whole family, so you can have something to eat no matter what."

Those who come out of the countryside and go back, although they will not achieve anything and will be laughed at, but there is always a place to stay, so that they will not starve to death.

Hey!
Old Zhao sighed heavily, and slapped himself on the face, "I'm not a fucking human, you've been ruined by me all your life!"

"do not talk."

He patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and from the corner of his eye, he looked at the opposite window with orange light, half open, and he could see a woman cooking.

"Take care of my family for me, don't let them know the truth."

"it is good."

Nodding constantly, I really hope that all this can be done again, even if he is skinned alive, he must not do that kind of unconscionable thing.

But what happened happened after all, no matter how regretful you are, no matter how much you don't want to face it, you have to admit that you are a complete bastard.

Crunch!

The rusty iron door was pushed open from inside, and the piercing sound recalled the man's thoughts, and his eyes fell on the tall girl in front of him.

With neat short hair and a pretty face without Fendai, she is still the same as when she was a child.

"Xiao Ai, long time no see."

"Yeah, really long time no see, Uncle Zhao."

There was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, he leaned to one side, and made a gesture of invitation, "Come in and have a seat, it's been a few years since we moved away, and I don't know when to come back, anyway, this is also you and me Father's hometown."

The man could hear the cynicism in these words, he could only smile awkwardly, and walked into the cold room with heavy steps.

Nothing has changed, not even the position of the furniture. Time seems to have stopped here, and it has never moved forward for half a minute.

"Uncle Zhao, you used to like drinking Pu'er tea the most. I specially prepared this for you."

Pick up a large tea mug decades ago, still steaming inside, the fragrant tea leaves are very strong, and you can tell that it is definitely the best when you smell it.

only……

"This...do you still keep this tea mug?"

"Can you not keep it? I heard from my mother that you and my dad got the company's promotion together, and the prize seems to be this tea mug, right?"

Pretending not to be clear, in fact, Hao Sinan deliberately provoked him, just to make this guy remember clearly how much he had sorry for his old friend from the past.

"sorry!"

The man didn't take the tea mug, not because he didn't want to take it, but because he didn't dare to take it.

"Xiao Ai, your aunt and I were really not at home on the day your mother had an accident. When Xiao Tianer came back and told us, we went to the hospital immediately."

"The matter of that woman has nothing to do with me. I still call her mom for my father's sake."

Hao Sinan waved his hand impatiently, and forcefully stuffed the tea mug into the man's hand, "Uncle Zhao, I didn't call you here today to reminisce. Let's talk about it, about Xiao Tian'er."

"my son?"

The hand holding the tea mug trembled, his eyes widened, "Xiaotian is working in the Municipal Bureau now, you..."

"Uncle Zhao, don't be nervous. Xiaotian is the only one who has cared about me. Even if I want to poke a hole in this day, I have to let him live well."

While talking, Hao Sinan walked to the sofa in the small living room and sat down, crossed his legs, clasped his fingers on his knees, "Shen Yun, Shen Yun, do you know?"

silence,

The expected silence, and this speechlessness proved his speculation.

"Yes! Since Uncle Zhao doesn't want to say it, then I won't force you, but you still have to take a look at this photo."

The camera is definitely the greatest invention in the world. It can always record some past events and let future generations know how much darkness is there in the passing time?How much whiteness!
