brotherly innocence

"Brother!" The exclamation went straight to the throat from the chest, and the tearing voice shouted out.

The eldest brother turned his head sharply, but the car turned suddenly when it got behind the eldest brother, and drove away like lightning.Surrounded by silence, muddy snow, birds jumping on the branches, Chu Yaonan twitched his nose, feeling endless grievances, threw away the kraft paper bag in his hand, and rushed straight to his elder brother.

He slipped his foot and threw himself into the arms of his elder brother, hugging him tightly, fearing that his elder brother would disappear from his sight forever.A heart palpitating non-stop, closed eyes, hatred secretly arose in my heart, maybe it was an accident, maybe it was a near miss, but maybe...

"Most of the cars running rampant on the streets these days are Japanese cars, so you should be extra careful outside." The eldest brother patted his back and told him, he nodded, but his heart was still beating rapidly.

The eldest brother looked at the watch on his wrist and asked him: "Why did you come back so early? Isn't the place where the lecture is far away?"

"The boss sent me a car." Chu Yaonan replied casually, hurriedly picked up the kraft paper bag to cover up, and said in front of his elder brother as if showing off: "There is really no money for nothing. This boss not only makes money during the day I teach foreign language to the young master and miss, and I have to help his company translate things at night, which is really intimidating. But it’s settled, if the translation is good, there will be a red envelope."

The eldest brother looked at him proudly and said: "The money given is quite a lot, don't be too greedy, no matter how much money you have, you won't be too much, just enough."

Thinking of his sister-in-law's vivid description of his elder brother's past majesty last night, and carefully examining his clear and calm face in front of him, Chu Yaonan tried his best to find the old shadow of his father who was the governor of Dingnan.

"Let's go, go home!" The book in the elder brother's hand knocked on his head, and he smiled shamelessly, and said as he walked: "Today, the boss heard that my mother has a leg problem, so he recommended me a church hospital, which is quite famous. It is said that they have a kind of experimental injection, which must be safe and foolproof, but it is a new product, and it can treat the leg disease for the mother for free, but it has to stay in the hospital for a while to observe and write a medical report. "

The eldest brother seemed to be interested in this topic, so he stopped and looked at him.

"Brother, it's like this in foreign countries. It's better to let mother try it. It's always good to relieve the pain. The Chinese people are so ignorant that they don't want to try." He persuaded, and the elder brother nodded and said, "Go back and discuss it with your mother before making a decision." .”

In fact, there is no such good thing, but he intends to use the money saved with Keiko to treat his mother, so he can only be so perfunctory to his elder brother.

When the snow is clear and the wind is clear, the sunset glows golden on the tiled snow, and when the wind blows, a layer of snow floats down like fluff.

The sister-in-law rewarded him with a pot of sauced bones, and he and Chun Baoer's uncle and nephew ate their mouths full of oil, regardless of their demeanor.

The sister-in-law ate the cabbage and shed tears while eating.

"What's the matter with you?" asked the elder brother.

Then the sister-in-law laughed and said, "Thanks to the wages that my brother got back, I bought a bag of rice and two bags of corn noodles. I have stored some Chinese cabbage and carrots. I'm afraid it will be enough for this winter."

It sounds so interesting, growing up so big, he never had to worry about food and clothing.He suddenly thought, maybe his sister-in-law was also a well-known lady back then, so she married a chicken and followed the chicken and became a housewife for the sake of his eldest brother's ideals and integrity.

The two brothers kept a stove in the study room and drank tea. The fragrant tea was a bit heavy and astringent, but the two brothers were very comfortable drinking and chatting.

The eldest brother flipped through the translated manuscripts he brought and said: "Why is this family's business so complicated? This article is about the cigarette trade, and that article is about ceramics identification." Pointing to some poor English words, he asked: "These words are somewhat Bias, do you know? "

Chu Yaonan grabbed it and said to himself: "Brother looks down on younger brother, English and French are not a problem. But brother is also so good in foreign languages, can you understand all these?"

He was a little surprised, and suddenly remembered that his eldest brother had also studied abroad.

"If it's such an errand, take it home and brother will help you."

He couldn't help asking: "Brother, I heard that you used to be an official in Guangzhou?"

Zhuo Mingtao was startled, smiled, picked up the cup of tea and said, "Spirit wine and tea each have their own love."

"Brother's disposition is clear about what he likes and what he hates, and he refuses to bow his head a little bit." Chu Yaonan asked.

Zhuo Mingtao shook his head with a smile and said, "Isn't it ridiculous to say that as a soldier, I don't like to kill? But I don't like to kill each other. It's a pity that the Chinese people seem to be vulnerable to foreign enemies without killing each other. "

Chu Yaonan looked at his elder brother, who had a warm smile on his face, without the regular Baogong appearance in the daytime, he seemed much more cordial.

He asked: "Brother, this sentence was also said by someone. He said that he hates warlords fighting each other the most, fighting each other, warriors charging forward and bleeding to death, and cowards who escaped and stayed behind to receive rewards and promotions. Call me Hit them, and beat all the men with real bones. So he also wanted to throw away his burden and live in seclusion overseas a few times, but he said that if he escaped, he would be even more powerless to the situation. He is here, despite his strength He is meager, but he can still do his best. Later, the Japanese wanted to support him to make the Northeast independent, but he refused to change the banner of the Northeast. Brother should know who I am talking about.”

Chu Yaonan recalled sadly, watching the fire, his face flushed red.He suddenly remembered Young Marshal Hu, the figure he admired, but now he was drowned by the spit of the world.

Zhuo Mingtao said, "Do you know Hu Ziqing?"

"Yes," he said, "the adoptive father has a big business and has some contacts with officials."

He suddenly asked: "Brother, tell me, why do the Japanese have to support a puppet? But I am behind the scenes."

"What they want is real benefits," the eldest brother teased him and said, "Look at you, even if you know your background, you have to invest thousands of miles away. That blood relationship is not afraid of the elder brother's control, and you won't leave if you beat me. Here we suffer and suffer, why? Not to mention a nation, how can we tolerate foreign enemies riding on their necks to do their best?"

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

On the second day, Chu Yaonan got up early and sent his mother to the hospital with his elder brother.

The sister-in-law stuffed some small change in his hand and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time to cook at night. Chun Baoer will eat at my place. Brother, you can buy some food to fill your stomach."

He took the file bag to the newspaper office to submit the manuscript, and wandered outside for a long time, thinking to himself, I don't know what Master Fei is doing, how can he persuade his eldest brother to hide in the northeast for a while.He didn't want to go to the enemy-occupied area, but if he didn't, the Blue Gang's forces in the country might not let him and his family go.Suddenly, he had an idea, why not go abroad, the family can still live happily together as long as they are together.

Chu Yaonan finally stayed up until the afternoon, bought some meat buns, and rushed to the hospital at a brisk pace.

The result of the mother's diagnosis and treatment was very optimistic, and the sister-in-law was also very happy, and said a few words to him: "Go to the window and see, your elder brother is coming soon."

Chu Yaonan pushed open the window on the second floor, there was a small alley below, the only way for the eldest brother to come here.

Nephew Chun Baoer held the steaming steamed buns and said, "Chun Baoer waits for Daddy to come before eating."

Chu Yaonan patted his head, and saw the figure of his elder brother appearing in the alley. He was wearing a thick cotton robe, but he didn't look bloated. He walked steadily towards this side.

He even anxiously thought that when his eldest brother passed by, he would hit him on the head with an orange peel and play tricks on him.

Just at this moment, suddenly a car drove by suddenly, and when the door opened, a man in a long black coat and a black felt hat jumped out and stopped the elder brother to strike up a conversation as if asking for directions. He jumped out of the car, carrying a big bag and covering his hood.

"Brother, be careful!" Chu Yaonan yelled, pushed the window and turned over, and jumped down recklessly.

Zhuo Mingtao struggled to kick and beat, but his head was covered and he was outnumbered.About to be dragged into the car, Chu Yaonan chased after landing.

Or when they saw someone coming, those few people didn't resist, got in the car and drove away.

Chu Yaonan hastily opened the sack and released the elder brother, but the elder brother who was still in shock was far calmer than he imagined, watching the car going away without making a sound, he brushed off his robe and said, "I'm afraid the kidnappers have found the wrong person, let's go Bar."

The eldest brother walked in front, and he followed, feeling uneasy, no need to ask, it must be Mr. Fei and Dad's tricks, they did it, is it to show him off?The anger and remorse in my heart, why they are aggressive and refuse to let him go.

"Brother, I want to discuss something with you." Chu Yaonan said, "I have a friend who invited me to go to France to help him do business. Now that the country is in chaos and the political situation is unstable, the whole family is worried. If we go there , I also want to be safe and peaceful, besides, my adoptive parents also went there."

He looked into the eyes of his elder brother, and the elder brother stared at his eyes, as if he was guessing his words. He was a little guilty, after all, it was a big lie, but he still had the courage to speak the lie as the truth.

The eldest brother nodded and said, "Let's discuss it later."

"Brother, don't wait any longer, let's go, my friend has a way, let our family get out." He anxiously urged, the elder brother comforted him and said, "Are you scared by the kidnapper? It's courage, don't be afraid!"

"But, where's the mother? Where's the sister-in-law and Chun Bao'er?" He asked, watching his elder brother's eyes carefully.

The elder brother looked at him in astonishment, hesitantly, he pursed his lips deeply and said after thinking, "It's a good way out."

Chu Yaonan was overjoyed, he grabbed his eldest brother and said, "Brother, then I will reply to him and ask him to book the fastest ferry for our family to go abroad."

The eldest brother patted his head and said, "Let's discuss again."

Chu Yaonan thought to himself, you are not afraid, I am, if it really causes you to have troubles, I, Chu Yaonan, will regret it for the rest of my life.

But the elder brother's words made him hear hope.

He thought, the most urgent task is to stabilize the blue gang, and then persuade his eldest brother to make a decision to go abroad early.

He went straight to the sub-helm of the Blue Gang of Baitasi. When Master Fei saw him, he asked with a straight face, "Have you figured it out? At last you understand. Your father has already set off for Peiping, and he will be there soon!"

He was very surprised, looking at Fei Wuyong, his heart trembled when he heard those two words, so soon, the old man came after him, just to find him?

He nodded and said: "Master, I beg you to accommodate Yaonan and stay in Beiping to work for my father, can you?"

Fei Wuyong took a deep breath helplessly and said, "Yaonan, how many people envy your status and status today, but why are you so ignorant of cherishing it?"

"I'm afraid it doesn't belong to me, so I don't covet it." He said.

Fei Wuyong laughed, maybe he felt that he had finally given in, or maybe he believed that he would submit obediently, so he took him to Donglaishun to eat shabu-shabu, and chatted until night.

When I came home, there was heavy snow again in the sky.

But the body is very warm, and the heart is even warmer.He hummed along the way, as if he had succeeded in his trick.

If he saw the old man, he would also prevaricate like this, until the family built a plank road and left the country secretly.

When I arrived at the entrance of the alley, I saw my sister-in-law waiting anxiously at the door, rubbing her fists and stamping her feet, looking left and right.

From a distance, he saw Chun Bao'er kneeling in the snow with one ear pulled, and he didn't know what happened, but Bao'er knelt outside the gate of the courtyard, rubbing his eyes and crying.The warmth in his heart suddenly dissipated.

He hurried over a few steps and asked: "Chun Bao'er, why are you kneeling here and making your father angry again?"
