life under the pen of rebirth

The summer sun lingered on the man's resolute face through the window screen, making him frown impatiently.

Supporting his head on his arms, looking at Qi Youyu's slightly green face when he was asleep, Hai Lin smiled lightly, sat up and got off the kang, closed the curtains and opened the door to go out.

"Mother." My little niece fell asleep on the kang in the West House, Hai's mother was sitting on the kang watching TV, Hai Lin walked over and sat down, and said, "I'll go to my third wife's house, if Xiao Yu wakes up, you can tell him. "

"Well, let's go, your third mistress and third master have nagged me several times." Hai Mu looked at him and smiled, "Just sit for a while, your third master can't go down to the ground, don't think he's too impatient, Don’t think too much about what you say is unpleasant, just let him say it.”

"Well, I know." Hai Lin nodded and said, "Then I'll go."

Before returning, Hailin bought some food for the elderly, and now he happened to take it to the third wife's house.

The third grandma celebrated her birthday, and many people came to her uncle's house. Hai Lin didn't enter the house, but only said hello to her uncle, and went directly to the third grandpa's house.

The third master was lying on the kang a few years ago and couldn’t get up. The third wife or uncle helped him to poop and pee. It’s okay at night. The third wife can still talk to him. During the day, the third wife likes to go out on the street. Sitting and chatting with people, he will inevitably feel bored in the room alone.

Moreover, the third master has been so strong for half his life. When he gets old and can’t move, he is naturally unhappy. When he comes to see him, he will complain, and sometimes he will complain about others. In addition, he always went to the toilet in the house, and it was very embarrassing to meet him. In this way, fewer people went there.

As he gets older, he thinks too much, and when no one comes to see him, he always feels that others despise him, and he can't let go of his airs, and it's just annoying to catch someone and say who he is.

"Linlin, are you capable after going to school? You don't even want to come here for a walk." The third master lay on the kang, covered with a quilt on a hot day, and complained to Hailin, "Your mother is not Come here often, and so does Qiqi. They don’t come even when they cry out. You can’t come and see me if I lie on the kang and can’t move? You just despise me for being annoying..."

"No, third master, you think too much. Didn't I just come here? My mother and brother are busy." Hai Lin heard the third master repeating these words over and over again with a smile on his face. He replied without saying a word.

Back then, the third mistress didn't like the Hai Lin brothers, and they chased them overtly and secretly when they came to play. The two brothers didn't have no memory, and although they wouldn't complain about her, their relationship would naturally fade, and it's normal not to want to come; Lin helped the third wife's family a lot. My uncle went to work during the day, and the three children also went to school, and they went to work. There was no one else at home except my aunt. When there was something to do, I would go to Hailin, but I never thought of him. Of course, the Hai Lin brothers wouldn't care about these things, but it's inevitable to be disappointed.

After finally coming back from the third master, I ran into my cousin again.

"Hai Lin, are you back from vacation?!" The cousin looked at Hai Lin with a smile while coaxing her son beside her, "You're in your junior year, aren't you? When are you going to look for a job?"

After all, the family is not far from the capital, and Haimu is not a talkative person, so basically no one in the village knows about Hailin's writing.

"Well, let's talk about it when the time comes, it hasn't been decided yet." Hai Lin raised the corner of his mouth and nodded, and didn't intend to say anything about the postgraduate entrance examination.

"Well, it's hard for college students to find a job these days, so you have to decide early." The cousin's eyes were obviously a little contemptuous.

When Hailin was admitted to Beijing University, it had been spread in the village for a long time, and everyone praised Hailin's second child as promising. Now, after hearing Hailin's perfunctory words, my cousin naturally thought that it was nothing more than that.

"Peking University is a good school, but students of Peking University may not be able to find a good job, especially if you are from the Department of Chinese. Hailin, if it doesn't work, let's come back?! Let me introduce you to a newspaper job." Cousin Picking up his son, he smiled and said, "The reporter is not bad, isn't that what I do?! The money won't be much in the beginning, but it will be a lot after a long time..."

"Hmm..." Hai Lin nodded absent-mindedly, wondering if Qi Youyu had woken up now and would look for him, then he couldn't help interrupting his cousin and said with a smile, "Sister, when these things happen Let’s talk about it later, I’m going back first, my classmate is still at my house! I’m leaving!”

"Hey? Hey, Hailin, what are you thinking? You..."

"Hai Lin?"

Stretching his arms and not touching anyone, Qi Youyu opened his eyes, got up from the kang, put on his shoes and went out of the room.

"Xiaoyu is up, go to the house and pour a glass of water to drink, and see how hot you are." Haimu braided Yanyan's hair and said to Qi Youyu with a smile, "Xiaolin went to his third wife's house. I'll be back in a while, do you watch TV?"

"Well, Auntie, I don't want to watch it." Qi Youyu took a stool and sat beside her with water, chatting with Haimu about Hailin.

"...Linlin has always been very sensible. He knew how to love me when he was four or five years old. I remember when he was even younger, once his brother took a sandal with a closed heel to scoop water in the bay. He was seven or eight years old at the time, and Lin Lin was four years younger than him, yet he taught Qi Qi a serious lesson, saying that the water in the bay was not clean, the shoes were even more dirty, and he drank worms..."

"...Linlin didn't like to take medicine when he was young. He never said a word when I was next to him. When I walked aside, he stuffed the medicine into his shoe and said with a stern face that he had finished taking the medicine. Actually I know all about it, seeing him laughing so hard when he put on his shoes and stood on tiptoe..."

"Linlin stopped peeing on the kang when he was two years old, but I remember one time, he didn't go to the toilet at night, and when he woke up in the morning, he found that he had peed on the kang, so he pushed his brother on the kang, and waited for me to come out. He said it was his brother who urinated, and caused him to suffer, Qiqi didn’t know, and thought he really urinated on the kang, so he kept a straight face all day long..."

"...When he was three years old, he yelled to help me with the watermelon I planted at home, but Qiqi was so small that he couldn't even hold a bigger watermelon. It was a big one, but he couldn't pick it up, the watermelon was smashed, and he poked his head on the ground, almost rolled over, rubbed his mouth with mud..."

"...Don't look at Linlin being so smart. He is clumsy in some things. At that time, when I asked him to steam steamed buns for me, he forgot to add water and almost burned the pot; sometimes he was very timid, sometimes One time, being chased by a rooster for a long distance..."

While listening, Qi Youyu imagined all kinds of embarrassing stories about the little Hailin, laughing so much that she almost fell to the ground.

It turns out that Hai Lin, who has always been so mature, still had such a side when he was a child. It's really unimaginable. Qi Youyu regrets that he didn't see it...

"Speaking of which, Linlin is so old now, and it's time to find a girlfriend!" Seeing her little granddaughter running around, Haimu said with a smile, "Yanyan is going to elementary school soon, Xiaoyu, you are familiar with Linlin, did he have a girlfriend over there?"

"...No...Yes, yes..." Qi Youyu forced a smile, lowered his head, and replied coldly, "Maybe... Yes, I don't know..."

"That's it, let him bring it back to see if he has it, we don't care about what kind, as long as he thinks it's good..."

What Haimu said again, Qi Youyu didn't listen carefully, his mind was on Hailin's girlfriend.

Yes, Hailin is already a junior, and he is so outstanding. During his time at Beijing University, Qi Youyu knew that many seniors in his department had a crush on him, but Hailin didn't mean that. Otherwise, if he wanted to find him, he would definitely not be single now.

Regarding his feelings, Qi Youyu never thought of giving up. He absolutely couldn't stand another person besides himself beside Hai Lin, so naturally he wouldn't let Hai Lin find a woman or a man to come back.

We must speed up the pace!Qi Youyu pursed his lips.

When he got home, Hailin saw Qi Youyu chatting happily with Haimu as soon as he entered the door, and it seemed that he was the protagonist, so he couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded.

"Mother, Xiao Yu, you're up." Hai Lin squatted down, pinched the soft and tender cheeks of his little niece, and turned to Qi Youyu, "Have you had enough sleep? Is Kang feeling flustered?"

"Fortunately, the beds in the army are similar." Qi Youyu curled the corners of his lips, staring at Hailin closely, with a kind of aggressiveness in his eyes that couldn't be concealed.

"What's the matter?" Hai Lin looked a little apprehensive, and couldn't help asking in doubt, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's okay." Qi Youyu lowered his eyes and didn't speak.

"Oh..." Hailin curled his lips and turned to ask Haimu, "Mother, I didn't enter the house today, but I didn't see my uncle's big brother either?"

"Hey, don't mention it." Mother Hai frowned and shook her head, "Your elder brother just got divorced, so he probably doesn't want to come back. His wife is really a troublemaker."

"Divorced? What about Yingying?" Hailin looked at Haimu in surprise, "I remember my sister-in-law is okay?! Why..."

"What can I do! People are so close to each other. It looked good before, but who knew it was all fake." Haimu sighed, "If you want a divorce, you need to pay several 10 yuan. If the child wants to go back, with her surname, the court Look like that! Jumping and scolding your brother's family, your brother is benevolent, she will give it if she asks for money, if you want me to tell you, she shouldn't give it!"

"Why did they suddenly fall out? Could it be my brother..."

"No, that woman just thinks that your brother is helping your second brother, and she can't control your aunt's house if she says nothing. She is picking things up! Didn't your brother not come in the first two years of Yanyan Hundred Days, or she didn't?" Let go, your aunt doesn't even know about this, she really thinks your brother has something to do! It turned out that she was drunk a few days ago, she told all of it, she just made things difficult for your brother! Who is this? ..."

Sure enough, you know your face and don't know your heart!

Hai Lin sighed, turned his head to meet Qi Youyu's eyes, and watched him open his mouth and say to himself word by word: I--I--true-hearted!

Hailin laughed.

It was already evening when Hailin and sister-in-law came back from the third wife's house. The whole family and Qi Youyu had a good meal, drank some wine, and chatted about their respective affairs.

After a while, Yanyan was sleepy, and Mother Hai led her to sleep in the house, Qi Youyu went back to the house to pack up her things so that she could go to bed, and the rest of the elder brother, sister-in-law, and Hai Lin were eating and talking.

"Lin, I want my mother to renovate the house. Anyway, there is no shortage of money now. What do you think?" Haiqi has been blessed since he got married. He was tired from sitting on the bench, so he sat on the bench and ate while drinking. , raised his head and asked Hailin.

"Brother can decide this matter, the money is with our mother..."

"You don't need to take money." Hai Qi waved his hand, interrupted Hai Lin, and said with a smile, "When I got married, you paid me a lot of money. I can do the house myself. I just told you One sound. Your elder brother knows that you don't need that money, and you don't want to give it to you, so don't worry about this house, huh?"

Hailin glanced at the sister-in-law who was obviously unhappy but didn't say anything, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, tell me when you're short of money, my family doesn't need to be polite to me."

"Okay, this brother knows." Haiqi picked up the cup and said, "Come on, touch one, you will succeed in your studies!"

The life of Hai Qi's family is not bitter, but they are not too rich, but he has never wanted Hai Lin's help, Hai Lin has no choice but to find another way.For example, add some clothes to my little niece Tian, ​​buy a car for Haiqi and add some furniture, these sisters-in-law are all aware of it, so naturally they won't say much at this time.

At night, Hailin and Qi Youyu slept together on the kang.

Turning off the light, listening to the sound of insects chirping outside the window, because Hai Lin had been lying down for a while and fell asleep in a daze after drinking a little wine.

In the darkness, Qi Youyu opened his eyes and listened quietly to Hai Lin's breathing. Knowing that the sound had started to calm down, he sat up silently, leaning towards Hai Lin by the faint light outside the window.

His feelings are immoral, and he can only release them a little at night, but he will never give up, because Hai Lin has become the most important person in his life, and he cannot bear the consequences of losing.

However, the uneasiness in his heart accumulated more and more, and Qi Youyu didn't know how long he could bear it.

"I like you, you... like me too... right?"
