little uncle

Zhou Hongyuan's new position is in the middle of the tall and thin guy and the tall and fat guy.

The fat one, Zheng Mingkun, is the monitor of the second class, and the thin one is Wu Siyuan, the study committee member of the second class.The two brothers go in and out together every day, as if they were one person, whispering to each other in class, and having fun with the crowd after class, they reached an inseparable situation. Teacher Cui had a headache about this, but the two of them competed with each other His grades are good, and he is very flattering, so it is difficult to grasp the big handle for a while, so he has to punish him lightly, but it has almost no effect.Teacher Cui was very helpless, but he had to take care of it, so he specially transferred Zhou Hongyuan between them.

In this way, there is a big living person between the fat and thin people, and they can no longer be as unrestrained as before. No matter how much they say, they can only wait until after class is over. The two people look at each other across Zhou Hongyuan every day. Said... It's a bit like Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

Zheng Mingkun and Wu Siyuan are generous, righteous and enthusiastic people. Knowing that Zhou Hongyuan is not comfortable in the first class and hurt his eyes, they are very caring for him. They are afraid that Zhou Hongyuan will be unfamiliar with the place when he first arrives, so they never forget to call him , Soon, the three of them formed an iron triangle, each with a magnetic force.

Although Class [-] and Class [-] were on different floors, they all ate lunch together. Zheng Mingkun and Wu Siyuan were afraid that Zhou Hongyuan would be placed on the order and would be ridiculed by the predecessors, so they specially asked Zhou Hongyuan to eat together.Both of them are masters who can talk, and it is even more amazing when they collide together, just like two machine guns firing at the same time, they can't stop from the beginning to the end.

Zhou Hongyuan likes to be quiet, it's fine to hear them chatting next to each other in class, and he can't be idle after class, he is helpless and faintly moved at the same time.

Gradually, as time went by, I didn't hate it so much. I even occasionally had the experience of eating by myself once or twice, and I felt lifeless and uncomfortable.

Zhou Hongyuan's family is in the same direction as Zheng Mingkun's, so they will walk together when they leave the school, while Wu Siyuan's family is in the opposite direction. Every time they part, the two actors, fat and thin, can always put on a big show. Those who don't know it think it's life and death. .

At the beginning, Zhou Hongyuan was very puzzled by their exaggerated style, and they often held their foreheads together, which was extremely embarrassing. Gradually, he didn't feel embarrassed. Anyway, the protagonists were playing at ease, so he was happy to watch the show.

Although Zhou Hongyuan missed nearly three months of class, because Cheng Yu kept teaching him, he didn't miss the class. Not only did he not fail to keep up with the class, but he also performed quite well.Teacher Cui was very surprised by this. After asking, he found out that Zhou Hongyuan actually has an uncle who is a top student in the Department of Mathematics of S University.

Now that his grades have improved and he has a friend again, Zhou Hongyuan's mood is obviously much better than before, and he doesn't feel so resentful when he meets his former classmate by chance.

Zhou Hongyuan's sick leave made him miss the mid-term exam, so the young man is preparing for the final exam with all his strength, and he is determined to make a big splash in the new class, not only in the new class, but also to let those who looked down on him before All saw his name clearly.

Zhou Hongyuan was originally a top student in the township primary school. When he first came to the provincial capital, he was not used to it, so he couldn't keep up with the class at the beginning of the school year.Now, with Cheng Yu's guidance and the help of the fat and thin couple, he is already at home, and there are no obstacles in his studies.

Cheng Yu was very pleasantly surprised by Zhou Hongyuan's change, he could see the child's growing cheerfulness.When he was in class one before, Zhou Hongyuan never took the initiative to mention what happened with his teachers and classmates in class and after class, but now, he would take the initiative to mention that teachers and classmates came, and sometimes he would talk to Cheng Yu when he was in a good mood. Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing at some anecdotes that happened in class.

Every time at this time, Cheng Yu's heart is always soft, he knows that everything is developing in a good direction.

The winter of 2004 was a warm winter for the provincial capital J.Until the end of December, the air was still damp and sticky.The clothes seem to never dry out, and the quilt also feels wet to the touch, not to mention that there is no heating in the house, so it is even more humid.This made Zhou Hongyuan extremely bored, but there was no other way.

In January, the cold air swept in from north to south. While the temperature dropped sharply, there were consecutive days of thunderstorms.

On Friday night, thunder and lightning played intermittently throughout the night, while Zhou Hongyuan did not fall asleep intermittently.Cheng Yu fell asleep at first, but woke up after a while. He subconsciously reached out and touched Zhou Hongyuan, only to find that the child's limbs were stiff, curled up under the blanket, and he was sweating profusely.

Cheng Yu felt sorry for him, leaned closer to him, hugged his little nephew in his arms, patted Zhou Hongyuan's body lightly, and whispered after a while, "Hongyuan, Hongyuan, don't be afraid, uncle is here, Uncle is here", and then said after a while, "It's okay, uncle will protect you, uncle will always guard you".

Hearing his voice, Zhou Hongyuan stretched out a little, and gradually fell asleep, but as soon as Cheng Yu put him down, he turned into a sifting chaff again, curled up in the quilt and trembling.

Cheng Yu had no choice but to hold him all night, until the sky gradually dawned and the thunder gradually subsided, and then fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, the biological clocks of the uncle and nephew completely failed, and they couldn't get up. It was a Saturday, so they both lay on the bed to catch up on sleep. They didn't crawl out of the bed until the sun was high.

There is no heating at home, although this winter is late this year, but it is a northern city after all, so it should not be underestimated.Therefore, Cheng Yu always got out of bed first, handed Zhou Hongyuan the clothes one by one, and watched Zhou Hongyuan put on the clothes on the bed before getting off.

Usually at this time, the uncle and nephew would always talk and laugh, complaining about the tide of the quilt, and disliking the cold at home, but today Zhou Hongyuan was not in the usual good spirits, drooping his head, as if he had done something wrong.

Cheng Yu knew what he was thinking, felt a little funny, rubbed his hair, and asked deliberately, "What's the matter? Hongyuan is not happy?"

Zhou Hongyuan lowered his head, put on half of his clothes, and concentrated on hiding his face.

Cheng Yu sat back on the bed, hugged his shoulders, and asked again, "Why are you unhappy, tell uncle."

Zhou Hongyuan is a child who has been used to hardship since childhood, even though he has been cared for by Cheng Yu for half a year, but he is still not used to showing weakness, not used to the sincerity and love that others show him.

The secrets that even the parents didn't know were exposed to this little uncle time and time again, and the emotions that even the parents didn't care about were always kept in his heart by the little uncle.

It's not that his little uncle doesn't know about his abnormality, and it's not that he doesn't care about him, but because he knows his pride and restraint too well, he swallows his words time and time again, only waiting for him to speak on his own initiative.

There is no one in this world who loves him more than Cheng Yu, and there is no parent who is more gentle and considerate than Cheng Yu.

This happiness was stolen from him.He said to himself again in his heart.

Zhou Hongyuan clenched his lips inadvertently, and let go at the moment when he almost bled, just as his clenched heart was opened again and again by Cheng Yu's tenderness, just as his body full of scars was seen by Cheng Yu, those dusty His shameful words also had nowhere to hide in front of Cheng Yu.

Only, this time he did it voluntarily.

"Grandpa passed away in July." Zhou Hongyuan said slowly. The first sentence was a breathless farewell. Fortunately, neither Zhou Hongyuan himself nor Cheng Yu knew much about the dead Zhou Jun. nostalgia.

"It was raining heavily that day, and it was still thundering... The ground was very slippery. He was old and in poor health. I advised him not to go out for a drink, but he didn't listen. He even said he wanted to hit me. Anyway, I couldn't stop him. live, he must go..."

Cheng Yu shuddered.Now, he can't remember Zhou Jun's appearance very much anymore. Those impressions, good or bad, have evaporated in the years, and finally turned into a fog that cannot be grasped or seen.Hearing Zhou Hongyuan talk about this, those closed memories instantly opened.He is very clear about Zhou Jun's behavior, lazy, tricky, slippery, fierce, these evils in the world, he has taken them all over. To be precise, not only Zhou Jun, but also Zhou Yunwei, are all of the same origin.If Zhou Hongyuan can persuade Zhou Jun, then the sun has come out from the west.This point, Cheng Yu can imagine.

Zhou Hongyuan obviously remembered a lot of bad things, he paused, and then continued, "After he left, the rain became heavier and heavier, and thunder bursts...he didn't come back all night."

"The next day, I went to school and walked along the ditch. Just a few meters away, I saw him floating... in the middle of the ditch."

Cheng Yu lived an open life, remembering the good and not the bad. Most of the time, he deliberately forgot all the hurts and grievances he encountered, and only those sufferings and struggles at the beginning of life were rooted in his heart. was re-awakened.

Cheng Yu frowned, he didn't know how he should face this matter, regret it?Are you sad?Or the vengeance of schadenfreude has been avenged.No matter what kind of emotion, no matter what kind of language, it is not enough to describe his emotions at this time.

He had already guessed that Zhou Jun's death would not end well, and he had already accepted Zhou Jun's death, but when his little nephew hit him with the most straightforward words, he was still in a daze.

Cheng Yu glanced at his little nephew in bewilderment, hugged him weakly, and said, "Everyone has their own destiny, it's not your fault."

Of course Zhou Hongyuan knew that it was not his fault. In fact, Zhou Jun's death was not even sad for him. He was just a bad old man who enjoyed beating, scolding and teasing himself.

However, this was the first time Zhou Hongyuan faced death directly, and it was also the first time he encountered a huge shock and change. Those deepest fears in his heart were much deeper than the so-called sadness.

What he was afraid of was never Zhou Jun's death, but death itself.

When you die, there is nothing left.Zhou Hongyuan understood this very early on.
