Mint-Stained Shirt
Chapter 56
After the summer vacation, Ming Shu almost lived in Xiao's house, and what he was tossing about was his brother's bedroom, and what he lay on was his brother's bed.Now that my brother is back, the bed has to be returned.
Two years ago, after Xiao Yu'an and Xiao Muting left home after graduation, the Xiao's house renovated the old house and refurbished it. Some of the furniture was still there, and some were too old, so they were replaced with new furniture.
The beds in several bedrooms have been changed, and the bed in Xiao Yuan's room is about the same size as before.
Mingshu doesn't want to leave, it's not easy for my brother to come back, even if he is playing on the floor, he still wants to stay here.
In summer, the temperature is high, and it is comfortable to sleep on mats on the ground.Xiao Yu'an played chess with Xiao Zhengyun at night, and saw Ming Shu dragging the mat to brush in the yard, and even took a small fan to blow on it after brushing.
Xiao Zhengyun ate a chess piece, and said with a smile: "Do what you can to order people around, and let Xiaoshu do this and that as soon as you come back."
Xiao Yu'an was wronged, when did he ask Ming Shu to do the matting?
He only told Mingshu that the two of them can't sleep in one bed, you can either go home and sleep, come back tomorrow, or sleep in the guest room.
Mingshu quit at first and insisted on sharing a bed with him.
He didn't answer.
Mingshu was used to being in his bed since he was a child, and felt that this was his bed.It's fine when he's not at home, but when he's back, it's hard for Mingshu to squeeze in.
When the boy grows up, it's no big deal to be so clingy all the time.
"Stop brushing, come in and drink sour plum soup." Xiao Zhengyun shouted to the yard.
Mingshu was busy, "Grandpa, my mat hasn't dried yet!"
"There's no need for you to dry the mats." Xiao Zhengyun said, "Brother will do it himself in a while!"
Mingshu wears an orange sports vest, with his back facing the house, working enthusiastically, "This is my own mat!"
Xiao Zhengyun looked at Xiao Yuan, "You let him sleep on the floor?"
"Let him go." Xiao Yu'an also ate a pawn, "He wants to sleep on the ground, can I stop him?"
"It's not good!" Now that Xiao Zhengyun is getting old, he is especially used to the two younger ones in the family. Anyway, the three older ones each have their own prospects, and only Xiao Jincheng and Mingshu are still swaying in front of him every day.
"There are so many rooms in the house, what is there to sleep on the ground?" The old man stopped playing chess when he felt sorry for his grandson, "Go and tell him, and help him move the mat back."
Xiao Yu'an smiled and said, "Okay, don't move."
Playing chess is just to have fun with Xiao Zhengyun, if you don't play chess, forget it.Xiao Yu'an walked towards the yard, Mingshu heard the voice, turned around and said, "Brother, are you not with grandpa?"
The mat is still a little wet, but in this weather, it will be dry in another quarter of an hour.Xiao Yu'an said, "Shall I put you in the next room?"
The room next door is next to his bedroom, which is empty and unoccupied.
Mingshu said firmly, "No!"
Xiao Yu'an: "..."
Okay.
Xiao Jincheng rushed to school for evening self-study after dinner, and when he came back around 10 o'clock listlessly, he saw Xiao Yu'an and Ming Shu playing games in the living room.
The quasi-senior high school student immediately went crazy, "You guys are so unqualified! Do you know that a high school senior who is about to hit his fate lives here? You actually play games in front of him while he is working hard!"
As he spoke, Xiao Jincheng stood in front of the TV and poked his chest violently, "You have no heart!"
With such a block, Mingshu's character almost died, so he hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Jincheng, why are you blocking the TV? Get out of the way!"
Xiao Jincheng is not.
Xiao Yuan waved his hand at him, "School grass, give way?"
Xiao Jincheng was still frowning, ready to do something at all times, when Xiao Yu'an called him, he immediately smiled, a little bit.
No. [-] middle school will select the school grass every year. Xiao Jincheng's face is getting longer and more handsome. He has been the school grass of No. [-] middle school since the first year of high school.
But this school grass is a little bit different.
Xiao Jincheng often acts like he doesn't take the title of school grass seriously, saying that men don't look at faces, but at strength.
But as soon as he got home, he flaunted that he was a school grass, wishing to write these two words on his face.Xiao Yu'an and Xiao Muting came back from vacation and called him a school grass, so he was so happy to do all the housework.
Xiao Xiaocao obediently stepped aside, without putting away her schoolbag, she just stared at the TV to watch Xiao Yu'an lead Mingshu through a level.
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" See how enjoyable it is, you have to do it yourself.
Seeing that his handle was about to be snatched away, Mingshu leaned on his brother.
He has a way of "fake tiger prestige". With his brother here, how can Xiao Jincheng bully him?
"Go and do your problem." Xiao Yu'an protected Mingshu, glanced at the stairs, and signaled Xiao Jincheng to go up.
Xiao Jincheng refused, "You know how to love him! I'm not your brother?"
Mingshu was so beautiful that he made eye contact with Xiao Jincheng.
They are always like this, the quarrel is really noisy, but the anger is not real, so they just play around.
Xiao Jincheng reacted quickly this time, taking out the phone with a "click".
Mingshu was stunned when he heard that sound.
Xiao Jincheng sent it directly to Xiao Yuan's phone after taking the photo, snorted ferociously, and said to Mingshu: "Look at how ugly you are."
Xiao Jincheng's mobile phone was bought by Xiao Muting last time. It is the latest model. It takes clear pictures and claims that the pores can be seen clearly.
He doesn't know how clear the pores can be, but he knows that his big white eyes are too clear.
The elder brother even enlarged the photo on purpose, and said with a smile, "Is this a mental retardation?"
Mingshu: "..."
Besides, I'm going to be angry!
Mingshu jumped up and down to grab the phone, but Xiao Yuan raised his hand to prevent him from grabbing it.
"Brother, brother!" Mingshu was in a hurry, "You still keep it?"
Xiao Yuan teased: "Aren't you allowed to stay?"
Ming Shu said, "Of course we can't stay!"
What the hell are these pictures?
Xiao Yu'an put the phone into his trouser pocket, and gently pushed Mingshu's head, "If you don't let me, keep it."
Mingshu is stunned and helpless, who is to blame?Blame him for having a twitch in his own mind, and make eye contact with Xiao Jincheng.
It's too early for this trouble.Xiao Yu'an finally checked with Ming Shu if he insisted on sleeping in the same room with him.
Mingshu nodded firmly, and he didn't lose his temper when he returned to the house, he just slept on the floor as he said.
Xiao Yu'an rushed back from school, actually a little tired, and wanted to sleep after turning off the lights, but the child was like a night owl, his mouth never stopped.
"Brother, what do you usually practice?"
"Brother, what rank did you get in your major?"
"Brother, do you think I can be admitted to your major?"
"Brother, is it dangerous to perform the mission? Have you ever been injured?"
"elder brother,……"
Xiao Yu'an felt that there was a chat robot beside him, chattering and chattering, he answered the first few questions with sleepiness, but he paused for a while, and then the sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden.
He had been injured, but it wasn't serious. During the Spring Festival, their group was pulled out to perform actual combat missions. It wasn't a particularly urgent mission, and it was accompanied by seniors, so the risk was not high.
But something happened in the middle of the mission. The information was wrong. The five of them were trapped in the warehouse where the smugglers were ambushing.
A senior said to them: "I brought you here, and I will definitely send you back safely. Listen to my instructions later, and don't be vague!"
"Yes!"
The bullets tore apart streaks of flames in the air, and they fought and avoided, insisting on holding on until the rescue arrived.
It wasn't until he boarded the helicopter that he felt a sharp pain in his lower back, and when he touched it, his hands were covered with blood.
Teammates cut off the clothing on his back for emergency treatment. Fortunately, the bullet just flew past his lower back, and the skin and flesh cracked, without hurting bones or internal organs.
After going back, he stayed in the hospital to recover from his injuries. It was half a month later that he heard that the senior who was protecting them at that time was seriously injured. He was rescued, but his body was also disabled.
It was the first time for him to face death and pain so close.
And this is just the most common task, and there will be more and more dangerous tasks waiting for him to perform in the future.
The wound on the waist has healed, but the scar is still there.He sometimes feels it when taking a bath. Compared with the skin next to it, the scar is hard, and the calluses on the fingertips are also hard. They stick together, and when rubbed together, they are rough and distinct.
"Brother?" Mingshu didn't wait for a response for a long time, sat up from the mat, and lay down beside his brother's bed, "Brother, are you asleep?"
Of course Xiao Yuan didn't sleep, but Mingshu's question just now made him unable to answer calmly.
Not because of the scar itself, but the weight of the scar.
He still can't calmly talk about that battle, and the mutilated body of his predecessors.
So he didn't answer, and gently closed his eyes in the dark.
At Mingshu's age, he couldn't imagine a real mission, so he thought that his brother had really fallen asleep, so he quietly lay back on the mat, lifted the blanket, and fell asleep too.
Hearing that Mingshu's breathing became steady, Xiao Yuan turned over, and with the light coming in from outside, put the lifted blanket on Mingshu's stomach again.
Mingshu has taken a health education class for one semester, and knows everything he should know, but it is one thing to know, and another thing to be curious after knowing it.
He woke up very early, and today he was going to do a big thing - sneak a peek at how his brother was in the morning.
But my brother fell asleep inward, so it was inconvenient for him to observe.He approached like a thief, but saw an ugly scar on his brother's exposed waist.
Two years ago, after Xiao Yu'an and Xiao Muting left home after graduation, the Xiao's house renovated the old house and refurbished it. Some of the furniture was still there, and some were too old, so they were replaced with new furniture.
The beds in several bedrooms have been changed, and the bed in Xiao Yuan's room is about the same size as before.
