godfather

When the two brothers met, they nodded and said nothing.Half-year-old boy's emotional character gradually matures, it is the age when he and his boyfriend and girlfriend become friends and distance from strangers, even if they are blood brothers, they have not lived together for many years, it is hard to recognize when they meet each other, the two of them look very different resemblance!

Meng Xiaobei was dressed in a t-shirt and shorts, with a slovenly appearance. He glanced at Meng Xiaojing's tight trousers and leather sandals: "You are quite fashionable."

Meng Xiaojing: "I bought it myself, do you usually go to the store to buy clothes?"

"I don't like shopping." Meng Xiaobei shrugged and asked, "What do you usually do there?"

Meng Xiaojing said: "Swimming, watching movies, playing games."

Meng Xiaobei: "Oh...they are almost the same."

Then there was nothing to say, Meng Xiaobei took out his pocket for a cigarette, and handed his brother a cigarette: "Do you smoke?"

Meng Xiaojing usually smokes secretly without telling his father.So the two brothers leaned side by side in the doorway, sharing their cigarette addiction, which was the only thing they could do together without verbal communication and emotional investment.

"Brother Bei, take us out to play!" my cousin shouted.

"Success, let's go." Meng Xiaobei narrowed his eyes, and he was quite proud of someone following him.

Several cousins ​​in the family are all loyal to Brother Bei, but Meng Xiaobei is the only one who follows the lead. He is not familiar with Meng Xiaojing at all, so he recognizes his newborn and does not take Meng Xiaojing to play with him.

Only Meng Xiaojing seemed to have never called "Brother Bei", and his relationship was not so close, and he couldn't say anything nasty.They always call each other by their full names...

Meng Xiaobei took his younger siblings to play billiards on the outdoor table in the courtyard.

Meng Xiaojing was riding that mountain bike in the yard.He got excited about playing, his butt left the car seat, stood on the pedals with both feet, lifted the whole car up with the strength of his ankles, jumped up and down, and played a car trick.Handsome guy with a foreign car, car and people look very good.

It turned out to be unexpected, and with a click, one of the pedals of the car was cracked and broken.

Meng Xiaojing was taken aback for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Meng Xiaobei, your pedal is broken."

Meng Xiaobei frowned: "Mom, what are you doing? I haven't broken down on my bike for half a year."

With Meng Xiaobei's usual personality, boy, he doesn't care about a bicycle with his brother, what a big deal?However, when Grandma Meng saw it from the upstairs window, she immediately became furious, and said through the screen window, "Look! Tell me!"

"I said I wouldn't let that kid ride it, but it really broke the stele's bike!"

"Meng Xiaojing is like this. He insists on taking all the good things in Beibei! He also takes away that special watch from Beibei and wears it now!"

Meng Jianmin persuaded from the side: "Hey, the two brothers shared a thing, Meng Xiaobei didn't say anything, why did you get angry? You see, I don't even intervene in the affairs between their brothers."

Grandma Meng just wasn't happy, the old lady had a violent temper: "Yes, Meng Xiaojing is your son, isn't Meng Xiaobei? Of course you don't care!"

Meng Jianmin: "...both are mine."

Shaotang didn't dare to meddle in the old lady's and son's housework.He ran downstairs in two steps.

Shaotang went downstairs to fix the car for the restless brothers.

Meng Xiaobei squatted and fiddled with the pedals, while Meng Xiaojing watched from the side.Meng Xiaobei asked: "Can this still be repaired?"

Shaotang brought a few tools such as a screwdriver and a wrench, took off his shirt, and put his head down to disassemble the parts in a working posture.The bearing was loose and fell off, and it was screwed on again, but the rubber of the pedal was cracked, and it would not stick, so it had to be replaced with a new one.Later, Shaotang bought a new rubber pedal at the car repair shop of the second factory and replaced it.

Grandma Meng nagged about this for several days afterwards: Beibei’s mountain bike is a famous brand, and if you put it on with broken pedals, the left and right feet don’t match and it’s not original!

Meng Jianmin privately reminded Meng Xiaojing: Don't mess with your brother's things, don't break them, and be kind to your uncle Shaotang. You remember how much effort Shaotang put in to heal your legs.

Meng Xiaojing was indeed very sweet to He Shaotang and knew how to make things happen.While Shaotang was squatting on the ground to repair the car, the two talked.

Meng Xiaojing asked: "Uncle Shaotang, is this car expensive? How much did you pay for it?"

Shaotang said: "It's quite expensive. I asked someone to buy it for me and gave me a discount of 700 yuan."

Meng Xiaojing pursed his lips and said with a smile: "It's really expensive...but it's really exciting to ride. A good car is different. I'll save money to buy one next semester!"

Shaotang asked: "Can you save so much New Year's money?"

Meng Xiaojing said: "I usually go out to work to earn pocket money."

Shaotang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you still working part-time, kid? What can you do?"

Meng Xiaojing showed dimples with a smile, with a slightly smug expression: "I can do anything, don't underestimate me! I do sales and sales in hypermarkets, I help people look after stalls, and I even sell TV sets!"

Shaotang: "Aren't you a child laborer?"

Meng Xiaojing said: "The big store in our county was contracted by a private owner. It doesn't matter whether you are a child laborer or not, the money is calculated according to the performance. I sell TVs and electric fans very well. I sold more than 100 sets of TVs in a month during the summer vacation. Fan, I still have repeat customers and they all come to me to buy! Next time you go back to Baoji, will you visit our store?"

Shaotang really didn't expect it, nodded in admiration, and rubbed Meng Xiaojing's hair: "Yes, boy, you must have a good performance in selling home appliances at the counter. Bar!"

Meng Xiaojing was overjoyed, and there were handsome smile lines in the corners of his eyes. Shaotang was really right, there are a lot of returning customers for older girls and younger daughter-in-laws.

This time it was Meng Xiaobei's turn to stand aside foolishly, watching Meng Xiaojing and his godfather having a lively chat, they hadn't seen each other for many years, chatting for 10 minutes and they became mature!Meng Xiaojing's appearance is so pleasing, who can not like it?As soon as Meng Xiaojing came, Meng Xiaobei himself felt a sense of shame and tragedy without looking in the mirror.He is a point of reference, and after a comparison, everyone can see how Meng Xiaojing inherited all the advantages of his parents and then left all the shortcomings to him, sacrificing him.

Meng Xiaobei said very boringly: "You talk, I'm going upstairs!"

His temper was offended, and he turned around and ran away with a sullen face.

Shaotang looked at Meng Xiaobei's back, and wanted to stop the big baby to coax him, because there were too many people around and it was inconvenient to coax this stubborn person.He chatted with Meng Xiaojing and praised each other, which is polite.Of course he was biased toward Beibei in his heart, but Meng Xiaobei, a brat, was just ignorant and always liked to be jealous.

Upstairs in the house, let alone stop.

The aunt said: "Meng Xiaojing's child is indeed good-looking. If a boy grows up like this, he will definitely develop well in the future. Don't think he came out of Xigou."

Grandma Meng was upset: "What's the use of being good-looking."

The second aunt said: "Something will happen again, you see he only wants to talk to Shaotang, does he want to let Shaotang ask for a bicycle?"

Grandma Meng said: "Just now another boy called downstairs to look for him! He has only been here for a few days, and someone called here to look for him!"

The aunt asked, "Who is looking for him?"

Grandma Meng said: "It's a friend, a friend in Beijing! Where did he get his friends in Beijing? He also said that he would pick him up in a car! Just make some rich friends outside... Humph!"

The sister-in-law listened listlessly for a long time, and couldn't help but whisper: "The two brothers are not looking for trouble, so please don't, don't, don't meddle in anything..."

Meng Xiaobei walked through the corridor expressionlessly, but actually heard everything.

Even though he and his sister-in-law were in a serious position of irreconcilability on a certain important relationship issue, Meng Xiaobei had to admit that in the family, his sister-in-law was the most understanding, gentle and easy-going.My aunt is a good aunt in all other respects except for her "conspiracy against his godfather" mentality for so many years without repentance.

The second aunt said: "Our two eldest nephews, if Meng Xiaojing sent them to Beijing, what do you think they would look like now? This kid is quite talented, right?"

The aunt hurriedly said: "Don't talk about the beginning now, it is no longer the beginning."

The second aunt sighed loudly: "That's why, Meng Xiaobei, you can be content! In the future, don't keep fighting with your father, you will be born 10 minutes earlier than your brother, and you will be ahead of your brother every step of the way, deciding your life! !"

Meng Xiaobei: "..."

Meng Xiaobei paused, walked around the room three times in a row, kicked hard on the TV cabinet, and his slippers flew onto the refrigerator!

He was really uncomfortable, and red tides burst out in his eyes.His current state of mind is that he doesn't want to hear people say that his father and mother don't care about him and doesn't want him anymore, and he doesn't want to hear others say that his father favors him and blocks his brother's future. It's just so awkward and contradictory.

In the final analysis, he is still sensitive, inferior and unconfident, and the heart of a young person lacks a sense of security about his surroundings.Every time his family appeared in front of him, he was anxious, uneasy, and even resisted from the bottom of his heart.Every reunion between his parents and brother is like peeling away the pain in the dark, reminding him of what he has lost and how many people he owes over the years!All kinds of changes and setbacks on the road of growth, coupled with years of estrangement from family, emotional depression and grievances, made Meng Xiaobei grumpy on this day, like an erupting male lion!

Meng Xiaobei glanced out of the window, his expression changed, and he ran downstairs again.

Shaotang said by chance, your brother has already learned how to drive, I taught him the cars in our army, and he got started very quickly.

Meng Xiaojing's eyes showed envy, our family doesn't have a car, and I want to find someone to learn how to drive, but my dad can't drive himself, he has never driven a car before.

Shaotang said, otherwise... I'll teach you how to open it?

Meng Xiaojing quickly responded, "Success!"

Shaotang brought the jeep in the team here today.The two then drove in the empty space of the family compound.Shaotang also helped Meng Xiaojing fasten his seat belt.Meng Xiaojing was much worse than Meng Xiaobei in terms of courage and hands-on ability, and his reactions were slow. Shaotang patiently guided his second nephew and directed Meng Xiaojing to circle around the courtyard.

Through the front windshield, Meng Xiaobei could see vaguely, and the two of them talked and laughed together, getting along harmoniously.With a cigarette in the corner of Shaotang's mouth, he turned his body sideways to reach over, holding half of the steering wheel while talking.Meng Xiaojing's face was full of excitement. Boys love cars, and sitting in the driver's seat has a different aura between his eyebrows and eyes.

This is the same Jeep that Meng Xiaobei learned to drive before, and the same person who taught him how to drive.

Meng Xiaobei went up with a big stride!

Meng Xiaojing was stepping on the accelerator and wanted to start walking in a straight line, when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.His feet suddenly flustered, and he didn't know what to step on.Shaotang yelled in a low voice, "You brake!!"

Shaotang stretched out his foot, and chopped Meng Xiaojing's foot hard, he slammed on the brake pedal firmly, and at the same time quickly pulled the handbrake!Because the two people in the inertia car rushed forward suddenly, their foreheads almost hit the front windshield!

Meng Xiaojing's face turned pale, and he clutched the steering wheel, his insteps were burning hot, and it hurt to death from being trampled on.

He Shaotang was terrified, he poked his head out of the car window and yelled, "Xiao Bei, what are you doing!!!"

Meng Xiaobei's eyes were red, and he stared at the two from a few meters away, trying to find fault and get angry.

Shaotang opened the door and got out of the car, striding over.Upstairs, Meng Jianmin leaned out the window to see, and also saw the unhealthy state of the small flame burning. What's the matter?

Shaotang said in a low voice: "Xiaobei, don't be so aggressive, I just teach your brother to drive a car."

Meng Xiaobei went to open the car door: "Meng Xiaojing, come down."

With a sullen face and a stubborn expression, Meng Xiaobei grabbed his brother's wrist and forced Meng Xiaojing to follow him, and the two ran to a corner behind the carport where no one was around.

Meng Xiaobei bit his teeth on his lower lip, held back for a long time, and said bluntly: "Meng Xiaojing, can you stop pestering my little dad in the future?"

Meng Xiaojing's eyes slowly widened: "...Why did I pester him? I just said a few words to him."

Meng Xiaobei growled: "How many words did you say? You tell him more in a day than I talk to him in a week!!"

Meng Xiaojing: "...what's wrong with me?"

Meng Xiaobei said expressionlessly: "Where are you wearing my watch? Don't be with my little dad. I'll give you the watch."

Meng Xiaojing was stunned again, with a humiliated expression, silently lowered his head and took off the high-end watch on his wrist, and handed it back: "I don't want it."

Meng Xiaobei put the watch back on, and the strap pressed the colorful bracelet on his left wrist that he never took off all the year round. He regarded it as a token of love in his heart.

Meng Xiaobei cares about a watch?

He will be more serious about whether the pedals of his bicycle are broken or not, and are they original?

What he cares about is not those, what he cares about is the person in his heart, what he cares about is whether his foolish and stupid wish will go to waste, after all, does anyone care what he thinks in his heart? !Every time Meng Xiaojing appeared, he would be restless and in danger.He and his father have been estranged from his mother for so many years, only one godfather is left emotionally dependent on each other, and he desperately wants to hold on to the person in his hands.

Meng Xiaojing observed Meng Xiaobei's expression and said, "I know you and your godfather are on good terms, but I didn't get involved with you, so what are you doing?"

Meng Xiaobei said: "He is my godfather, not your godfather, how could you interfere?"

Meng Xiaojing: "...Meng Jianmin doesn't have a car. I don't have a chance to learn how to drive in Xigou. I just want to learn how to drive."

Meng Xiaobei asked domineeringly: "Our second uncle also came here in a van, why don't you learn how to drive from your second uncle, why don't you talk to your second uncle? You ask Meng Jianmin to borrow a car from anyone in the factory to teach you." ! What are you pestering my little dad for?!"

Meng Xiaojing was at a loss for words, and bit the corner of his mouth to keep silent, his beautiful eyes were slowly turning red...

Later, when Ma Baochun came back from his natal home after dinner, the old man and the old lady of the Meng family went downstairs to greet him. Finally, the whole family was complete, and it would never happen once in many years. Let's take a family portrait!

The Meng family has one son and four daughters, daughter-in-law and uncle, plus five grandchildren and grandchildren, standing together to take a family photo.

The elders sat on the stools in the front row, and a few elders stood in the back row. The grandparents wanted to hug the two grandchildren, and let Xiao Bei and Xiao Jing lean on their knees.

Meng Xiaobei drooped a pair of slender eyes, eyes sullen, mouth tightly closed, not showing a trace of smile, Grandpa Bei is not happy.

Meng Xiaojing also pouted, with red spots at the corners of his eyes.

The neighbor who took the picture stretched out his hand to direct: "Hey, you two, get closer. Hey, Meng Xiaobei, why don't you smile too?"

Meng Jianmin said in a low voice, "Meng Xiaojing, stand still."

Shaotang patted someone's butt from behind, also anxiously: "Xiaobei, laugh."

Meng Xiaobei turned his head and looked away: "I won't be next to him."

Shaotang: "..."

There was an uproar when the photo was taken that day.Meng Xiaobei deliberately got up and stood next to his little father, not moving, even his grandparents couldn't pull him over.Grandma Meng wanted to bring her granddaughter over, but the stinky cousins ​​and cousins ​​were all on the same side as their brother Bei, and they all showed their loyalty and shouted, "We don't stay next to Brother Xiaojing!"

At that time, Meng Xiaojing burst into tears.

Meng Xiaojing cried, feeling extremely wronged and uncomfortable, his face was flushed, and tears fell down his face.It has been so many years, and it seems that no one in the family has asked him, your brother came to Beijing, you stayed in Xigou, it is so difficult to go to Xi'an, are you really willing, what do you think...

Ma Baochun was surprised and said: "What's the matter, what are you two brothers doing? What are you two doing after finally seeing each other!"

Meng Jianmin's face also changed, and he was extremely frustrated and embarrassed in front of the whole family: "Meng Xiaobei, you are talking about you!..."

A family portrait was taken after the reunion many years later. The result was that Meng Xiaobei turned his face away angrily and refused to look at the camera, while Meng Xiaojing pouted and wept silently.

The two fathers were very angry, angry, and irritable that day.

Meng Jianmin felt very sorry for Meng Xiaojing, and wanted to yell at Xiaobei, but he didn't say it after all. He was embarrassed to scold Meng Xiaobei, even though both of them were his own sons.He owed his second brother in his heart, but he also knew that he was sorry for his boss. These days, when he occasionally talked to Meng Xiaobei, he would always be amiable and coax his boss.The relationship between closeness and closeness cannot be reversed, it feels as if Meng Xiaojing is his own son, and Meng Xiaobei is now like someone else's son!Other people's sons can't be beaten or scolded by themselves, and they should be polite and careful when they speak. They look at Meng Xiaobei's face carefully, knowing that his son is in puberty in the second year of middle school, knowing that his son has a strong personality and wants to save face. Rebuke a lesson?

Meng Jianmin didn't talk about Meng Xiaobei, so he could only turn around and criticize Meng Xiaojing: "I broke your brother's bicycle and moved your Uncle Shaotang's car again. Don't play around in the future! I won't make your brother unhappy."

Meng Xiaojing hadn't cried for several years when he grew up, his nose and eyes were red like a rabbit, and the pear blossoms were raining, so he was so distressed when he sobbed.The young man's heart is engraved with indelible scars. He knows that Beijing is not his home, and the home in Xigou belongs to him forever, and he only has his biological parents to love him.

He Shaotang was even more angry. He was the most embarrassing and irritating person on this occasion today.

"It's just fucking wrong."

"A habitual stinking problem!..."

He Shaotang turned black and cursed in a low voice, it wasn't the first time Meng Xiaobei made trouble like this.He was really angry when he said "a habitual stinky problem".Meng Xiaobei is too ignorant today, too disrespectful to him!Sesame's big housework, no one among the brothers acted like an older brother, so Meng Xiaojing was bullied and cried.Especially in front of all the relatives and elders of the Meng family, in front of Meng Jianmin and Ma Baochun, making him, an outsider, "sit on wax"!His own son lacks education, lacks manners, is petty, arrogant, selfish and domineering, and provokes other people's sons. After all, it is Meng Xiaojing who is crying, and his godfather will not be able to be a man in the future.

It's all used to it!

Meng Xiaobei squinted at his little father, who also looked like a lion with shaggy fur, with disobedient thorns flaunting all over his body.

He Shaotang pointed at him: "Meng Xiaobei, what exactly do you want to do today?"

"Do you owe a beating?"

"I haven't beaten you since you grew up, have I?!"

Meng Xiaobei bit his lip: Godfather, are you going to beat me up?

Shaotang was so angry that he looked around, and picked up a wooden stick as thick as a rolling pin from the ground.

Meng Xiaobei was stunned suddenly: "..."

Shaotang's eyes were reddened by his son, his face was gloomy, the cigarette butt was chewed between his teeth, he spit it out, and walked over with big strides, with the expression that he wanted to hit someone!

Meng Xiaobei was surprised, he yelled "Ah" aggrievedly, his eyes showed grief and indignation, he turned around and ran away.

"Stop for me!...Come back to me!!!"

Holding the stick, Shaotang galloped all the way to chase his son away.The young ones ran in front, while the old ones chased after them furiously.
