old year
Work related
Condition.In the process of his narration, the situation in front of him was different from those adult family members he had seen who cried to death as soon as they stepped into the hospital. One of them was only 13 years old and the other was only fifteen or sixteen years old. The young boy in the room was always expressionless, like two sculptures that hadn't breathed.After he finished narrating, the boy who looked younger began to tremble all over, with an extremely depressed and tense expression.
Liu Weimin sighed softly, dropped his stylized tone, and asked softly, "According to the procedure, the deceased needs to be claimed by their family members. We found out at the Civil Affairs Bureau that they are your parents. Do you... want to go in and claim it now?" "
Jiu Geng leaned his back against the wall, lowered his head and stared at a certain spot on the floor without moving, as if he didn't hear the police officer's question.And the younger child was also motionless.For a while, Liu Weimin was very embarrassed. He stood there, not knowing how to communicate with the two of them.He had never encountered such a situation where the family members of the deceased had only children without the company of adults.
for a moment.Wei Nian straightened his body, and said lightly in the direction of the police officer, "I'll go."
Wei Nian walked towards that door, step by step, with extremely heavy steps.
At this moment, Yang Jiugeng suddenly woke up from a dream, and rushed to Weinian's side before Liu Weimin could move.
Several people entered the morgue.
It was eerily quiet inside.There seemed to be thousands of raindrops densely intertwined in the hearts of the three of them.
Minian's hand fell down, caressing the clean white cloth.His whole body trembled uncontrollably suddenly, unable to control himself, as if he had lost the ability to move, his teeth bit his white lips tightly, almost bleeding.He closed his eyes, took a deep breath to calm the loss of control of his body, and flipped the cloth away with a clatter.
It's mom.It's mom.
Seeing this scene, Yang Jiugeng looked up at Wei Nian, and his peripheral vision fell on the person under the white cloth.
It was a bruised and pale face, the face of a woman who died of serious injuries, with several scars still lingering on it.This shrewd and capable woman, this hard-working woman, her hair is still well-manicured, her face is still full of makeup, her clothes are beautiful red, which has been cut open, and the huge beautiful hair on her chest The brooch shone brightly.
Wei Nian made a move that no one expected.
He bent down and slowly approached his mother's face, with a peaceful and peaceful expression on his face.He leaned lower and lower until his face was facing his mother's serene sculptural face.
Suddenly, a kiss fell on the woman's face.Weinian closed his eyes, as if he was doing a farewell ceremony without reunion.
This scene was deeply engraved in the hearts of Police Officer Liu and Yang Jiugeng.They felt that the boy's kiss was so long, like a black and white silent movie with no ending.
Weinian first laughed, and then a tear fell on his mother's porcelain-like pale face.
A few lines of tears fell down Yang Jiugeng's once smiling face.
"Mom... When I was young, you always liked to ask me to kiss you when you came home from get off work... But I always refused... I feel so disgusting... So disgusting..."
Wei Nian's low voice was very clear in this quiet room.
"But then I grew up...you never asked me to kiss you again...but I have grown up...I can't act like a baby to my mother anymore...although you have been running around for us all these years ...But we never blamed you...Although my brother and I just met each other halfway, passers-by in life...we are not even related by blood...but we will cherish...will live well...don't worry, mom...you must Don't worry..."
Wei Nian's voice became softer and softer, and finally disappeared.He covered the white cloth again, turned around and walked to Liu Weimin, and said, "He is my mother."
After speaking, he leaned against the corner of the wall and squatted down, his head buried deeply in his knees, his shortness of breath finally turned into a bitter cry, and no one saw his tears.
Liu Weimin walked to another corpse and gently lifted the white cloth.
What Yang Jiugeng saw was an unrecognizable face, with numerous scars on it.
"Because the face of the deceased was scratched by glass fragments, it is difficult to distinguish. But according to the ID card in the wallet, the name of the deceased is Yang Kang." Liu Weimin lowered his head and read the contents of the accident record book lightly.
At the moment when he heard his father's name, Yang Jiugeng couldn't bear it anymore, and his tears poured down.
This man, how many times has he beaten himself who was disobedient, how many times he stood at the door of the house and waited for him who came back late until he gave up, how many times he lost his temper or shed tears for himself.But today, today he can no longer stand up, can no longer beat Jiugeng, can no longer get angry and cry for himself.
"He is my father..." Yang Jiugeng ran away.He raised his head, as if he could see the vast rainy sky through countless ceilings.When he was young, every time Yang Jiugeng felt wronged and wanted to cry, he would look up at the sky and keep his tears from flowing.
But, but today, he can no longer be like when he was a child.He yelled, followed by wailing.
This kid is like a punk.How many years has he not cried?How many years have you not cried so deeply?
After an unknown period of time, the two children stopped crying almost at the same time. They walked to the door together, and Liu Weimin quickly followed them out.
Liu Weimin held a pen and paper and said to them: "Since you have confirmed it, do you have any other relatives?"
Li Weinian shook his head.
"Since none of you have other relatives, we will apply for welfare assistance on your behalf, considering that you are both underage."
"I don't have any other relatives, but he..." Yang Jiugeng said.
"Me neither." Wei Nian looked at Jiu Geng and said firmly. ?
☆, continue to live
?In the next two days, Wei Nian and Jiu Geng bought a cheap burial seat in a cemetery with the property left by their parents, and took care of their parents' funeral with the help of their neighbors.There is no cumbersome funeral, no noisy funeral, the withering of two lives, like petals withering, silently.The city continued to rise and set, and from then on, in the small house at the end of this dilapidated community, there were only two teenagers left without parents.
Where to go in the future, the two have no plans.Maybe life will be very difficult, so difficult that you can't see the future clearly, and you can't see the sun.
Wei Nian asked the school teacher for a week off, reasoning that he was sick and needed to rest.In the eyes of Teacher Weinian, Li Weinian has always been a very obedient and good student, so the teacher approved it without thinking too much.
During the few days when he was on leave at home, Wei Nian sat quietly on the sofa at home every day, holding a book of his favorite comics in his hand, except for reading the book repeatedly, he never cried or made noise, never talked or went out.Except for cooking and cleaning, he hardly ever leaves the sofa and bed.When Yang Jiugeng went out in the morning, he was the only one at home.
When Wei Nian was reading, the only sound in the room was the second hand of the clock on the wall.The air seemed to be frozen, and the winter sun shone in through the windows, covering the ground with golden yellow.
The employees in the store also knew about it, and they were more tolerant of Yang Jiugeng.In front of Yang Jiugeng, they always kept silent about this matter, fearing that he would be even more sad.And he was not allowed to do some dirty work, after all, he was just a child himself.
On the last night of Wei Nian's holiday, Yang Jiugeng persuaded Wei Nian to go out together and buy winter clothes, and when he came back, he went to bed early after eating and taking a shower.
The warm sunshine, the early morning breeze, in the garden of the community.
"Dad, Mom, come on, come and play with me."
"I'm coming."
The woman carried Wei Nian onto the swing, shaking it gently, Wei Nian laughed, and her mother laughed too.Dad watched from the sidelines.
Suddenly a huge crack appeared in the ground, but the crack grew bigger and sucked my mother in.Then, the father appeared in front of Minian with a child, the child made a face at Minian, and then the father left.And Wei Nian was still on that swing.
"No!" Weinian closed his eyes and yelled, crying.
Opening his eyes, Wei Nian appeared in a bathtub in a bathroom, the white walls were shining brightly.He looked down and saw that his wrist was bleeding, and he was holding a sharp blade in his right hand.Tears flowed out again.Wei Nian was swallowed by a black hole that suddenly appeared under the bathtub.
"Ah!" Waking up from the nightmare, Minian sat up, with tears in the corners of his eyes and cold sweat all over his body, his eyes were wide open, staring at the ceiling.
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Jiugeng was awakened by the yelling, and sat up too. In the darkness, he stared blankly at Wei Nian, at a loss.
Wei Nian was extremely quiet, and then suddenly leaned his head on Yang Jiugeng's shoulder.Yang Jiugeng felt warm liquid wet his clothes, and then there was a whimpering sound.Wei Nian's thin body was trembling uncontrollably, Yang Jiugeng patted his back lightly.Then, Wei Nian's crying changed from sobbing to wailing, he left Yang Jiugeng's shoulder, looked up at the ceiling, and while raising his head with difficulty, tears fell down patter.
Wei Nian remembered what his mother had said to him: "You are a boy, you are a man, you cannot cry."
After growing up, Wei Nian seldom cried.But today, this time, he couldn't control it anymore.The more he cried, the more tired he was, and he was almost dying: "It doesn't matter if it's brother...anything...don't let him take me away...don't take me away...I don't want...I don't want to..."
Yang Jiugeng patted him on the back and asked, "Weinian? Why? Tell me what happened?"
Weinian sobbed: "He...he has a son..."
Jiu Geng didn't know how to respond.
Wei Nian went on to say: "My father... already has a son... that son is one year younger than me... Do you know... when is it... that was the time when my brother was seriously ill and left ...Mom is still pregnant with me...how could he...I didn't know until I went to my father's house last time..."
"Does he really love my mother...to him...what am I..."
"It's all a lie...it's all fake...fake..."
The long-suppressed wound in Wei Nian's heart was opened again before it healed, and fresh blood flowed out.All these years of his discomfort and suffering have always oppressed him.
Wei Nian has been sitting on the bed crying, crying for a long time.Yang Jiugeng kept comforting him, but to no avail.They didn't gradually fall asleep until the sky turned pale. ?
☆, goodbye old home
?When the sky was bright, the bright sunshine poured in and shone on the faces of the two children.
Yang Jiugeng had just woken up, his consciousness was still in a blur, and he was fully awake when he heard intermittent knocks on the door.
"Who? What door did you knock on in the early morning?" Jiu Geng said to himself, and then looked at his watch, only to realize that it was past 11 am.
It must have been because I went to bed late last night.So he quickly woke up Weinian and went out to open the door.
I thought it would be Wang Hongsen, but when the door opened, it was a middle-aged man in a suit, with a tall and straight figure and an imposing appearance.
The man's bright eyes are the same as Minian's, deep and cold like a lake in winter.He looked at the boy in front of him with a gentle and indifferent expression: "Hi, you are Wei Nian's brother, right? I'm here to look for Li Weinian, is he there?"
Yang Jiugeng was taken aback, his mouth lost its usual sharpness, and he stammered: "He is...he is..."
At this time, he heard a soft voice behind him: "Dad..."
Turning around, Wei Nian, who was described as haggard, stood in front of him, his expression was the same as that of his father, pure indifference, as if the collapse of last night was gone, and the stability of the past had returned, such a cold and distant Wei Nian made Jiu Geng Feel the shudder.
Li Weinian's father entered the room and sat down on the sofa, he glanced around with a worried expression on his face.Yang Jiugeng seemed a little embarrassed and at a loss, so he slowly found out the tea at home and poured a cup of tea for Wei Nian's father.
The man said thank you lightly, and then said to his son, "Weinian, your mother...why didn't you tell me something happened?"
Facing his silent son, his tone became very heavy: "I am very sad, after all, your mother and I have been husband and wife for so many years, but I didn't get the news from my son, which made me even more uncomfortable. "
Wei Nian said perfunctorily: "I...I just don't want to trouble you..."
The man's expression became serious, and his tone became sharp: "Trouble? How can you say that? You know, after your mother left, I will be your only relative in this city..."
Wei Nian just nodded and said nothing.Standing aside, Jiu Geng was very embarrassed, he didn't know how to answer their words, so he simply didn't say anything.
The man was silent for a moment before he said: "Niannian, at first my father thought that you could get better care from my mother, but later I found out that your life is not good at all, you don't live well, you don't eat well, The living environment is not good, so I want to pick you up and let me take care of you. Now that your mother is gone, you still don't want to live with me, do you know how sad I am?"
He sighed and continued: "I know, you have been very smart since you were a child, you have your own ideas, and you are different from other children. If you blame Dad, then I apologize to you. You are only 13 years old and you can't take care of yourself at all. , pack your things now and come with me."
After Dad finished speaking, the room was silent.
"Dad, I didn't blame you, I never blamed anyone. I'm living here very well now, and I can adapt."
"Niannian, no matter how independent you are, you still need a guardian to take care of you. You are still so young."
Dad pointed to Jiu Geng, who was panicking at the side, and said, "Son, you have really grown up. Even so, even if he is your elder brother, he is only two or three years older than you, and he is about the same size as you." Big kid. How tiring it must be for him to drag you to live, have you ever thought about it? "
Wei Nian closed his eyes and did not speak.How could he not think about it, he thinks about it all the time, he has been working hard, everyone is working hard, and it has never changed.
"That's right, Uncle, Wei Nian is about to take the final exam, so it's not appropriate to move now."
"I know, I know you treat him well, but you are still so young. What about the tuition fees for the next year? His test paper needs to be signed by his parents, who will sign it? Who will take care of your future in the future?"
Weinian didn't speak anymore, he nodded to his father as a compromise, then turned and went into the room to pack his things.
Yang Jiugeng followed in to help.The sun is bright at noon in winter, the air is dry, and there are tiny dust floating in the sunny places indoors.In this world as dark as the universe, every speck of dust is a lonely planet.
Wei Nian was still so quiet, he packed his clothes and schoolbag, and tidied up the room with Jiu Geng again.
Dad is waiting outside.After a while, Li Weinian came out with a bunch of things in his arms, and his father took the things and put them in the trunk of the car.
"Come on, son."
Wei Nian didn't answer, but just followed his father into the car.
"Son, goodbye to brother."
"Brother, goodbye." Weinian looked at his brother, half-raised his hands weakly, feeling very disappointed.
Jiu Geng stood at the door, and after waving his hand, he stood there stupidly motionless.In the car, Minian had tears in his eyes.He thought of the home he had lived in for several years, and he might never come here again.
The car disappeared at the end of the alley, out of Yang Jiugeng's sight.
Back in the living room, there was no one there, and the horrific emptiness boiled with loneliness.
With nothing to do, he went back to the room and lay down on the bed. There was no one beside him, which made him very uncomfortable. This Wei Nian, who was already a brother and sister, was gone.He disappeared in the bright winter sun, in the empty and dry air, at the end of a long alley. ?
☆, in the new home
?Father's house is in the outskirts of the city. It is a duplex in a high-end community, and the garden on the roof is exactly three floors.The exaggerated fountain in the community garden is still spraying water, coming back here again makes Li Weinian feel strange and at a loss.
Parked the car, entered the elevator, and followed Dad into the house.
The house was empty and very quiet.The living room is spacious and bright, with luxurious European-style sofas with smooth lines and clear outlines.The bright afternoon sun slanted in through the windows, casting a bright, cold white light on the marble floor that seemed unreal.
"Wei Nian, your room is still the one you stayed in last time, go in and put away your things first, let's tidy up, it's almost time for dinner."
Wei Nian responded, and went upstairs with a large bag of things in his schoolbag.
Pushing open the door of the room, the appearance changed a lot. There was a big bookcase with various books on it.His bed was on one side, making it look a bit cramped.
Opening the drawer, he saw a few scattered papers and pens.I'm afraid the room has been occupied during his absence.Someone took down the photo of me and my father that used to hang on my bed and put it in a drawer.He gently picked up the photo and looked at the little self inside.
Just as he was looking at the photo, a woman's small but shrill voice came from outside the door: "What about Xiaoguang's study? Xiaoguang is going to take the junior high school exam soon, what if he can't pass the key middle school? !"
Wei Nian walked to the door and eavesdropped on the adult's conversation.
Then came the father's voice: "Isn't there no way, that room was originally reserved for Wei Nian, otherwise where would he live?"
"Don't you also agree to change that room into Xiaoguang's study? Besides, isn't there a cubicle here?"
"That cubicle can't even fit a refrigerator, and at most you can store some sundries. How can you live in such a small room? Anyway, Xiaoguang's room is very big. Wouldn't it be better to order a desk and bookcase another day? I said your voice Be small, the child is in the room, it's not good to be heard by him."
The voice outside gradually became low, so blurred that the content of the speech could not be discerned.Weinian returned to the chair at a loss, didn't know what to do, so he squatted down and opened the zipper of the schoolbag, not knowing what to take out, so he fiddled with the things in the schoolbag repeatedly.At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the gentle and bright voice of the woman just now came: "Little Guang, go and get your things out quickly, don't occupy brother's room."
As soon as the words fell, a boy who was about the same age as Wei Nian walked in.After all, he is a half-brother, and looks somewhat similar to Wei Nian.The boy began to pack things in the room silently.Then, a gorgeously dressed woman with lipstick came in, and the room was filled with the faint smell of perfume.
"Xiaoguang, why don't you call me brother?"
"Oh, brother." The boy didn't even raise his head, he was still packing his things.
The woman came over and smiled, and said to Li Weinian, "Weinian, why did you leave so quickly last time. Auntie also said to cook chicken soup for you, but you left."
Wei Nian smiled awkwardly, but said nothing.
"Our family, Xiaoguang, is about to enter middle school. I heard that you are doing well in your studies. You should help your younger brother more."
Facing this woman, Wei Nian seemed a little embarrassed, but responded lightly: "En."
While talking, the boy had already packed up his things, held a stack in his hand, and walked out.The woman also followed to the door, then turned around and said, "Weinian, I'll tell you to come out for dinner later."
With a bang, the door closed.
"I have to remind you when I eat, I'm not a child, hum."
Thinking about it, Wei Nian sat on the bed and lay down again.There is no trace of impurities on the smooth milky white ceiling, and Wei Nian thinks of the ceiling in the living room at home that was blackened by the oily smoke from the kitchen next door, and his mother who has gone away from him, and everything feels like a dream.I don't know what my brother is doing now.
After a while, there was a light knock on the door, and then Dad's gentle voice: "Weinian, come out for dinner."
The dinner here is very rich, much better than usual, but it doesn't have the usual feeling.Usually, even eating some leftovers by himself would be very relaxing, but here, it made him very nervous.
Wei Nian quickly finished his meal and went back to his room.
After reading for a while, the door creaked open.
Dad walked in and said, "Weinian, have you taken a shower yet?"
"No, I washed my face."
Dad frowned: "The bathroom in this room has not been used for a long time, and there are no towels in it. How did you wash it?"
Wei Nian bowed his head and remained silent.
Dad sighed softly and walked out. Soon, Dad came in with a quilt in his arms: "Wei Nian, it's winter now, and it's still a bit cold under a layer of quilt. This quilt is new and no one sleeps on it yet." But it's clean, you can put it under and put the old one on top."
"Ah."
"By the way, where are your pajamas? I remember I bought two sets for you last time and put them here."
"Oh, I didn't find it."
"Then I'll ask my aunt, maybe she washed it and put it away."
The door was closed, and the voice rang out again.
"How do I know? Could it be that I would steal his clothes?"
Dad's voice was very soft, and he couldn't hear what he said, but he seemed to be persuading the woman.
"Okay, tell him to put his things away next time, and don't blame me for missing something."
The woman's high-heeled shoes rattled the floor, and the sound became farther and farther away.Then came the sound of Dad's slow approaching footsteps, which became clearer and clearer.
The door was pushed open again, and Dad shouted to Wei Nian: "Wei Nian, before it's too late, I'll take you to the supermarket to buy pajamas, and buy some daily necessities by the way, I'm busy today, I forgot I bought it."
Wei Nian nodded and followed his father out the door.
In the city's luxurious shopping malls, Dad took Wei Nian to do some shopping.
Wei Nian has not been to such a large shopping mall for a long time, and usually does not leave home very far except for special events.Now that I have my father's car, it is not difficult to go to the urban area or even the large shopping malls in the city center.
Dad picked out two sets of cute light-colored pajamas for him, and bought a lot of daily necessities with him.Finally, when passing by the book area, Wei Nian was attracted by a book.On the cover, a little boy is holding a golden moon, sitting on the roof of a high-rise building in the city. Not far away is a dark city, with densely packed buildings, high and low, and the night is bleached into light blue.
"The moon fell from the sky, and the little boy fished it out of the water. The sky without the moon made people feel scared, but soon, batches of "moons" were produced and hung in front of the windows of every house , they gradually forgot about the moon. But the real moon was lying in the little boy's house, dim, forgetting the past. The lonely moon and the lonely little boy were enjoying each other's care in the deep city. The warmth that came. The moon grew up slowly and recovered its memory, but it could never go back to the little boy's home. Moreover, when the moon relived the good memories with the little boy again, it gained The courage to ascend to the sky."
Like a train of smiling moons, to every sad dark city.However, when the outer darkness of the city passed, the invisible darkness became deeper and deeper, and the loneliness and anxiety of the people's hearts were never far away.
Dad asked gently: "Why, do you want to buy it?"
Wei Nian nodded.
"Okay then, just buy whatever books you want, take as many as you want, and pay the bill together later."
"Hmm." Wei Nian smiled.
In the end, Wei Nian chose Jimmy's anime picture book, a novel and two comics, and put them in the shopping cart. ?
☆, heart like ice
"Have you really decided?" The restaurant owner faced the rare and serious Yang Jiugeng who was sitting across from him.
"Well. It's decided. After all, I'm still young. The future society needs knowledge and talents. It won't last long for me to come out and mix in society at such a young age."
"You should think about it."
"I've figured it out. I'll go back to school in the future, and I'll come here to work on weekends. Anyway, the kind people in the school and society, as well as those neighbors, have supported me. I can't live up to their kindness."
The boss laughed: "You kid has changed a lot."
"People have to grow up. I can't stay the same. I still have a long way to go. I've thought about it carefully, and this is the best way."
The boss smiled and said: "Well, it's a good thing for young people to be motivated. You and my cousin Hongsen are like brothers, and I can be regarded as your half cousin. I am easy to get along with, so you don't have to worry too much about it. Many. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, as long as it is the right thing, I will help you."
"Really?" Yang Jiugeng looked at the boss gratefully.
"That's still fake." The boss took a sip of tea and said slowly.
In this way, Yang Jiugeng returned to the campus and continued to study in his third year of junior high school.It's just that he no longer goes to school with Li Weinian.The distance between these two schools was not close, which made him a little disappointed.
During Wei Nian's absence, Yang Jiugeng seemed to have lost his direction, he didn't know how to go.
There used to be a big family together, father, mother, and younger brother. Although the relationship with each other was not very harmonious, the family was still very lively.But now, he has lost his parents and brother one after another, and he has to face a future where he doesn't know where to go.Going home every day is alone, facing the empty house alone, it feels empty and cold.This coldness has also gradually worn down this once unruly bad boy to become mature and sensible.
In the twinkling of an eye, February, the end of the new year comes suddenly.
The winter in the southern country is cold and humid, the weather is gloomy all day long, and the smiling face of the sun is not seen.Even if the layers of clothing are tightly wrapped, it is difficult to resist the cold moisture in the air seeping into the body through the collar of the collar.There are many smogs, and the coldness of the twelfth lunar month is overwhelming.
Weinian came out of the school gate with his head down, holding a report card in his hand.The children are all wrapped tightly, and with the schoolbags on their backs, they look like rice dumplings.
"The next year!"
Li Weinian looked away from the report card, looked up, and saw his father waving at him in the open window of the familiar black car.
When I got in the car, my father said, "I happened to be passing by here on business today, so I came here to pick you up."
While listening, Wei Nian lowered his head and unzipped his schoolbag, trying to stuff that report card into his schoolbag.
"What? The grades are out?" the man asked.
"Ah."
"Show it to Dad."
"There's nothing to see...forget it..." Wei Nian said perfunctorily.
"What's the matter, hurry up, show Dad."
"Oh." Weinian responded slowly, and handed over the report card.
A smile gradually appeared on the man's face: "Not bad, third in grade. Wei Nian is so obedient, and doesn't worry Dad at all."
Wei Nian did not answer the call.Dad returned the report card to him.
"Actually, Dad doesn't insist on your grades. There's no need to compare yourself with others. As long as you try your best, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. As long as you work hard, Dad doesn't care about rankings. and grades."
Both father and mother have surprisingly consistent ways of educating minors.They believe in their children and don't force them.So Wei Nian listened to them as usual.
Wei Nian turned around silently and looked out the window.Street trees and people flew by, and outside the car window, the sky was dim and everything was gray.Just like his mood, always like pure white ice and snow, always so calm and cold.There is no temperature, no color.No one can understand the sadness of the coming year.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, do you want any presents? You did so well in the exam, Dad is willing to buy you anything you want."
"No. I don't want anything in particular." Li Weinian said coldly.
"Really? You name it, whatever you want. Books, toys, or computers? Or where do you want to travel? Hainan? Hong Kong? Taiwan?"
The next year has become very quiet.He didn't answer.It seemed like a long time before he said slowly, "Can I... want a mobile phone..."
"What? A cell phone?"
"Ah."
The man frowned slightly: "Do you need to use a mobile phone now? It seems that not many of your classmates use mobile phones? Does the school allow you to bring mobile phones?"
"The school doesn't say for sure... Many of my classmates have it."
"Okay, since Wei Nian wants it, I'll accompany you to buy it this weekend."
"Hmm." Wei Nian replied.The car became quiet.The two had nothing to say all the way and went home.
This year's New Year's Eve.When Wei Nian came back from buying books in the bookstore in the afternoon, they were all his favorite ancient books.As soon as I got off the elevator and walked to the door of the house, I heard loud and unstoppable laughter coming from the house. It seemed that there were many people.He took out the key with his cold hands and gently opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he felt overwhelming gazes on himself.Li Weinian felt that there were countless silver needles pricking his body, which made him extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to escape instantly, but he was at a loss.So he calmly changed his shoes, and then faced the crowd.
They are all relatives from the aunt's side, and a dozen of them sat together on the sofa harmoniously.
Auntie came out of the kitchen and saw Wei Nian who was at a loss, she smiled and pulled Wei Nian in front of everyone, and said, "Hey, this is Li Weinian, this time he got the third place in the whole grade, and he is still a key middle school Woolen cloth."
"Oh, is that so? What a good boy." A chubby middle-aged woman pulled Wei Nian over and sat down.
"Wei Nian, this is Auntie." Auntie said.
"Hello, Auntie." Weinian said in a low voice.
"Hey, you're so good, you're so sensible, come to eat, I specially brought the fruit back from Hainan. Xiaoguang, Xiaofan, don't bother playing games, come here quickly and get the fruit, I brought it back from Hainan specially."
"Don't disturb us, it's really annoying." The two teenagers crowded in front of the computer beside them, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
Next to the two boys, a girl smiled and said, "Mom, they don't care about eating now. In their eyes, games are much more interesting than fruits."
The aunt laughed and scolded: "Look at you two skinny children, don't teach my sister bad."
Li Weinian felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, he calmed down his uncontrollable nervousness, and he didn't know who to say to someone beside him: "I'm going back to my room first..."
Maybe the voice was too low, no one heard what he said, and everyone was chatting loudly.
He got up slowly and walked towards the room.No one noticed his movements.
Back in the room, he closed the door tightly and did not turn on the light. The light from outside came in through the crack of the door, forming a line on the floor.He suddenly felt very tired and tired, and he didn't want to do anything.Wei Nian sat down in front of the desk, the night was getting darker, and the street lamps downstairs shone brightly in the cold night.In the cold night sky, the moon hangs high.The cold night is illuminated by the soft light from the windows of every house in the city, and the pale and thin face of the young man in a dark room is also illuminated. Yao is still crystal clear and moving.
Wei Nian took out a box from the drawer, a square box.He took out a rectangular object with metallic luster from it.It was the mobile phone my father bought for himself a few days ago, a brand new black mobile phone.
Cold fingers touched the smooth body.On the front, a nice home button.On the back, a nice logo is placed above the middle.Simple, extreme.
He just sat there.The room was so quiet that there was not even a sound of breathing. In the dim light, the boy melted into the boundless cold darkness...
After the lively dinner, my aunt and several women cleaned up and washed in the kitchen.
Wei Nian also helped to collect the tables outside, while the other
Liu Weimin sighed softly, dropped his stylized tone, and asked softly, "According to the procedure, the deceased needs to be claimed by their family members. We found out at the Civil Affairs Bureau that they are your parents. Do you... want to go in and claim it now?" "
Jiu Geng leaned his back against the wall, lowered his head and stared at a certain spot on the floor without moving, as if he didn't hear the police officer's question.And the younger child was also motionless.For a while, Liu Weimin was very embarrassed. He stood there, not knowing how to communicate with the two of them.He had never encountered such a situation where the family members of the deceased had only children without the company of adults.
for a moment.Wei Nian straightened his body, and said lightly in the direction of the police officer, "I'll go."
Wei Nian walked towards that door, step by step, with extremely heavy steps.
At this moment, Yang Jiugeng suddenly woke up from a dream, and rushed to Weinian's side before Liu Weimin could move.
Several people entered the morgue.
It was eerily quiet inside.There seemed to be thousands of raindrops densely intertwined in the hearts of the three of them.
Minian's hand fell down, caressing the clean white cloth.His whole body trembled uncontrollably suddenly, unable to control himself, as if he had lost the ability to move, his teeth bit his white lips tightly, almost bleeding.He closed his eyes, took a deep breath to calm the loss of control of his body, and flipped the cloth away with a clatter.
It's mom.It's mom.
Seeing this scene, Yang Jiugeng looked up at Wei Nian, and his peripheral vision fell on the person under the white cloth.
It was a bruised and pale face, the face of a woman who died of serious injuries, with several scars still lingering on it.This shrewd and capable woman, this hard-working woman, her hair is still well-manicured, her face is still full of makeup, her clothes are beautiful red, which has been cut open, and the huge beautiful hair on her chest The brooch shone brightly.
Wei Nian made a move that no one expected.
He bent down and slowly approached his mother's face, with a peaceful and peaceful expression on his face.He leaned lower and lower until his face was facing his mother's serene sculptural face.
Suddenly, a kiss fell on the woman's face.Weinian closed his eyes, as if he was doing a farewell ceremony without reunion.
This scene was deeply engraved in the hearts of Police Officer Liu and Yang Jiugeng.They felt that the boy's kiss was so long, like a black and white silent movie with no ending.
Weinian first laughed, and then a tear fell on his mother's porcelain-like pale face.
A few lines of tears fell down Yang Jiugeng's once smiling face.
"Mom... When I was young, you always liked to ask me to kiss you when you came home from get off work... But I always refused... I feel so disgusting... So disgusting..."
Wei Nian's low voice was very clear in this quiet room.
"But then I grew up...you never asked me to kiss you again...but I have grown up...I can't act like a baby to my mother anymore...although you have been running around for us all these years ...But we never blamed you...Although my brother and I just met each other halfway, passers-by in life...we are not even related by blood...but we will cherish...will live well...don't worry, mom...you must Don't worry..."
Wei Nian's voice became softer and softer, and finally disappeared.He covered the white cloth again, turned around and walked to Liu Weimin, and said, "He is my mother."
After speaking, he leaned against the corner of the wall and squatted down, his head buried deeply in his knees, his shortness of breath finally turned into a bitter cry, and no one saw his tears.
Liu Weimin walked to another corpse and gently lifted the white cloth.
What Yang Jiugeng saw was an unrecognizable face, with numerous scars on it.
"Because the face of the deceased was scratched by glass fragments, it is difficult to distinguish. But according to the ID card in the wallet, the name of the deceased is Yang Kang." Liu Weimin lowered his head and read the contents of the accident record book lightly.
At the moment when he heard his father's name, Yang Jiugeng couldn't bear it anymore, and his tears poured down.
This man, how many times has he beaten himself who was disobedient, how many times he stood at the door of the house and waited for him who came back late until he gave up, how many times he lost his temper or shed tears for himself.But today, today he can no longer stand up, can no longer beat Jiugeng, can no longer get angry and cry for himself.
"He is my father..." Yang Jiugeng ran away.He raised his head, as if he could see the vast rainy sky through countless ceilings.When he was young, every time Yang Jiugeng felt wronged and wanted to cry, he would look up at the sky and keep his tears from flowing.
But, but today, he can no longer be like when he was a child.He yelled, followed by wailing.
This kid is like a punk.How many years has he not cried?How many years have you not cried so deeply?
After an unknown period of time, the two children stopped crying almost at the same time. They walked to the door together, and Liu Weimin quickly followed them out.
Liu Weimin held a pen and paper and said to them: "Since you have confirmed it, do you have any other relatives?"
Li Weinian shook his head.
"Since none of you have other relatives, we will apply for welfare assistance on your behalf, considering that you are both underage."
"I don't have any other relatives, but he..." Yang Jiugeng said.
"Me neither." Wei Nian looked at Jiu Geng and said firmly. ?
☆, continue to live
?In the next two days, Wei Nian and Jiu Geng bought a cheap burial seat in a cemetery with the property left by their parents, and took care of their parents' funeral with the help of their neighbors.There is no cumbersome funeral, no noisy funeral, the withering of two lives, like petals withering, silently.The city continued to rise and set, and from then on, in the small house at the end of this dilapidated community, there were only two teenagers left without parents.
Where to go in the future, the two have no plans.Maybe life will be very difficult, so difficult that you can't see the future clearly, and you can't see the sun.
Wei Nian asked the school teacher for a week off, reasoning that he was sick and needed to rest.In the eyes of Teacher Weinian, Li Weinian has always been a very obedient and good student, so the teacher approved it without thinking too much.
During the few days when he was on leave at home, Wei Nian sat quietly on the sofa at home every day, holding a book of his favorite comics in his hand, except for reading the book repeatedly, he never cried or made noise, never talked or went out.Except for cooking and cleaning, he hardly ever leaves the sofa and bed.When Yang Jiugeng went out in the morning, he was the only one at home.
When Wei Nian was reading, the only sound in the room was the second hand of the clock on the wall.The air seemed to be frozen, and the winter sun shone in through the windows, covering the ground with golden yellow.
The employees in the store also knew about it, and they were more tolerant of Yang Jiugeng.In front of Yang Jiugeng, they always kept silent about this matter, fearing that he would be even more sad.And he was not allowed to do some dirty work, after all, he was just a child himself.
On the last night of Wei Nian's holiday, Yang Jiugeng persuaded Wei Nian to go out together and buy winter clothes, and when he came back, he went to bed early after eating and taking a shower.
The warm sunshine, the early morning breeze, in the garden of the community.
"Dad, Mom, come on, come and play with me."
"I'm coming."
The woman carried Wei Nian onto the swing, shaking it gently, Wei Nian laughed, and her mother laughed too.Dad watched from the sidelines.
Suddenly a huge crack appeared in the ground, but the crack grew bigger and sucked my mother in.Then, the father appeared in front of Minian with a child, the child made a face at Minian, and then the father left.And Wei Nian was still on that swing.
"No!" Weinian closed his eyes and yelled, crying.
Opening his eyes, Wei Nian appeared in a bathtub in a bathroom, the white walls were shining brightly.He looked down and saw that his wrist was bleeding, and he was holding a sharp blade in his right hand.Tears flowed out again.Wei Nian was swallowed by a black hole that suddenly appeared under the bathtub.
"Ah!" Waking up from the nightmare, Minian sat up, with tears in the corners of his eyes and cold sweat all over his body, his eyes were wide open, staring at the ceiling.
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Jiugeng was awakened by the yelling, and sat up too. In the darkness, he stared blankly at Wei Nian, at a loss.
Wei Nian was extremely quiet, and then suddenly leaned his head on Yang Jiugeng's shoulder.Yang Jiugeng felt warm liquid wet his clothes, and then there was a whimpering sound.Wei Nian's thin body was trembling uncontrollably, Yang Jiugeng patted his back lightly.Then, Wei Nian's crying changed from sobbing to wailing, he left Yang Jiugeng's shoulder, looked up at the ceiling, and while raising his head with difficulty, tears fell down patter.
Wei Nian remembered what his mother had said to him: "You are a boy, you are a man, you cannot cry."
After growing up, Wei Nian seldom cried.But today, this time, he couldn't control it anymore.The more he cried, the more tired he was, and he was almost dying: "It doesn't matter if it's brother...anything...don't let him take me away...don't take me away...I don't want...I don't want to..."
Yang Jiugeng patted him on the back and asked, "Weinian? Why? Tell me what happened?"
Weinian sobbed: "He...he has a son..."
Jiu Geng didn't know how to respond.
Wei Nian went on to say: "My father... already has a son... that son is one year younger than me... Do you know... when is it... that was the time when my brother was seriously ill and left ...Mom is still pregnant with me...how could he...I didn't know until I went to my father's house last time..."
"Does he really love my mother...to him...what am I..."
"It's all a lie...it's all fake...fake..."
The long-suppressed wound in Wei Nian's heart was opened again before it healed, and fresh blood flowed out.All these years of his discomfort and suffering have always oppressed him.
Wei Nian has been sitting on the bed crying, crying for a long time.Yang Jiugeng kept comforting him, but to no avail.They didn't gradually fall asleep until the sky turned pale. ?
☆, goodbye old home
?When the sky was bright, the bright sunshine poured in and shone on the faces of the two children.
Yang Jiugeng had just woken up, his consciousness was still in a blur, and he was fully awake when he heard intermittent knocks on the door.
"Who? What door did you knock on in the early morning?" Jiu Geng said to himself, and then looked at his watch, only to realize that it was past 11 am.
It must have been because I went to bed late last night.So he quickly woke up Weinian and went out to open the door.
I thought it would be Wang Hongsen, but when the door opened, it was a middle-aged man in a suit, with a tall and straight figure and an imposing appearance.
The man's bright eyes are the same as Minian's, deep and cold like a lake in winter.He looked at the boy in front of him with a gentle and indifferent expression: "Hi, you are Wei Nian's brother, right? I'm here to look for Li Weinian, is he there?"
Yang Jiugeng was taken aback, his mouth lost its usual sharpness, and he stammered: "He is...he is..."
At this time, he heard a soft voice behind him: "Dad..."
Turning around, Wei Nian, who was described as haggard, stood in front of him, his expression was the same as that of his father, pure indifference, as if the collapse of last night was gone, and the stability of the past had returned, such a cold and distant Wei Nian made Jiu Geng Feel the shudder.
Li Weinian's father entered the room and sat down on the sofa, he glanced around with a worried expression on his face.Yang Jiugeng seemed a little embarrassed and at a loss, so he slowly found out the tea at home and poured a cup of tea for Wei Nian's father.
The man said thank you lightly, and then said to his son, "Weinian, your mother...why didn't you tell me something happened?"
Facing his silent son, his tone became very heavy: "I am very sad, after all, your mother and I have been husband and wife for so many years, but I didn't get the news from my son, which made me even more uncomfortable. "
Wei Nian said perfunctorily: "I...I just don't want to trouble you..."
The man's expression became serious, and his tone became sharp: "Trouble? How can you say that? You know, after your mother left, I will be your only relative in this city..."
Wei Nian just nodded and said nothing.Standing aside, Jiu Geng was very embarrassed, he didn't know how to answer their words, so he simply didn't say anything.
The man was silent for a moment before he said: "Niannian, at first my father thought that you could get better care from my mother, but later I found out that your life is not good at all, you don't live well, you don't eat well, The living environment is not good, so I want to pick you up and let me take care of you. Now that your mother is gone, you still don't want to live with me, do you know how sad I am?"
He sighed and continued: "I know, you have been very smart since you were a child, you have your own ideas, and you are different from other children. If you blame Dad, then I apologize to you. You are only 13 years old and you can't take care of yourself at all. , pack your things now and come with me."
After Dad finished speaking, the room was silent.
"Dad, I didn't blame you, I never blamed anyone. I'm living here very well now, and I can adapt."
"Niannian, no matter how independent you are, you still need a guardian to take care of you. You are still so young."
Dad pointed to Jiu Geng, who was panicking at the side, and said, "Son, you have really grown up. Even so, even if he is your elder brother, he is only two or three years older than you, and he is about the same size as you." Big kid. How tiring it must be for him to drag you to live, have you ever thought about it? "
Wei Nian closed his eyes and did not speak.How could he not think about it, he thinks about it all the time, he has been working hard, everyone is working hard, and it has never changed.
"That's right, Uncle, Wei Nian is about to take the final exam, so it's not appropriate to move now."
"I know, I know you treat him well, but you are still so young. What about the tuition fees for the next year? His test paper needs to be signed by his parents, who will sign it? Who will take care of your future in the future?"
Weinian didn't speak anymore, he nodded to his father as a compromise, then turned and went into the room to pack his things.
Yang Jiugeng followed in to help.The sun is bright at noon in winter, the air is dry, and there are tiny dust floating in the sunny places indoors.In this world as dark as the universe, every speck of dust is a lonely planet.
Wei Nian was still so quiet, he packed his clothes and schoolbag, and tidied up the room with Jiu Geng again.
Dad is waiting outside.After a while, Li Weinian came out with a bunch of things in his arms, and his father took the things and put them in the trunk of the car.
"Come on, son."
Wei Nian didn't answer, but just followed his father into the car.
"Son, goodbye to brother."
"Brother, goodbye." Weinian looked at his brother, half-raised his hands weakly, feeling very disappointed.
Jiu Geng stood at the door, and after waving his hand, he stood there stupidly motionless.In the car, Minian had tears in his eyes.He thought of the home he had lived in for several years, and he might never come here again.
The car disappeared at the end of the alley, out of Yang Jiugeng's sight.
Back in the living room, there was no one there, and the horrific emptiness boiled with loneliness.
With nothing to do, he went back to the room and lay down on the bed. There was no one beside him, which made him very uncomfortable. This Wei Nian, who was already a brother and sister, was gone.He disappeared in the bright winter sun, in the empty and dry air, at the end of a long alley. ?
☆, in the new home
?Father's house is in the outskirts of the city. It is a duplex in a high-end community, and the garden on the roof is exactly three floors.The exaggerated fountain in the community garden is still spraying water, coming back here again makes Li Weinian feel strange and at a loss.
Parked the car, entered the elevator, and followed Dad into the house.
The house was empty and very quiet.The living room is spacious and bright, with luxurious European-style sofas with smooth lines and clear outlines.The bright afternoon sun slanted in through the windows, casting a bright, cold white light on the marble floor that seemed unreal.
"Wei Nian, your room is still the one you stayed in last time, go in and put away your things first, let's tidy up, it's almost time for dinner."
Wei Nian responded, and went upstairs with a large bag of things in his schoolbag.
Pushing open the door of the room, the appearance changed a lot. There was a big bookcase with various books on it.His bed was on one side, making it look a bit cramped.
Opening the drawer, he saw a few scattered papers and pens.I'm afraid the room has been occupied during his absence.Someone took down the photo of me and my father that used to hang on my bed and put it in a drawer.He gently picked up the photo and looked at the little self inside.
Just as he was looking at the photo, a woman's small but shrill voice came from outside the door: "What about Xiaoguang's study? Xiaoguang is going to take the junior high school exam soon, what if he can't pass the key middle school? !"
Wei Nian walked to the door and eavesdropped on the adult's conversation.
Then came the father's voice: "Isn't there no way, that room was originally reserved for Wei Nian, otherwise where would he live?"
"Don't you also agree to change that room into Xiaoguang's study? Besides, isn't there a cubicle here?"
"That cubicle can't even fit a refrigerator, and at most you can store some sundries. How can you live in such a small room? Anyway, Xiaoguang's room is very big. Wouldn't it be better to order a desk and bookcase another day? I said your voice Be small, the child is in the room, it's not good to be heard by him."
The voice outside gradually became low, so blurred that the content of the speech could not be discerned.Weinian returned to the chair at a loss, didn't know what to do, so he squatted down and opened the zipper of the schoolbag, not knowing what to take out, so he fiddled with the things in the schoolbag repeatedly.At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the gentle and bright voice of the woman just now came: "Little Guang, go and get your things out quickly, don't occupy brother's room."
As soon as the words fell, a boy who was about the same age as Wei Nian walked in.After all, he is a half-brother, and looks somewhat similar to Wei Nian.The boy began to pack things in the room silently.Then, a gorgeously dressed woman with lipstick came in, and the room was filled with the faint smell of perfume.
"Xiaoguang, why don't you call me brother?"
"Oh, brother." The boy didn't even raise his head, he was still packing his things.
The woman came over and smiled, and said to Li Weinian, "Weinian, why did you leave so quickly last time. Auntie also said to cook chicken soup for you, but you left."
Wei Nian smiled awkwardly, but said nothing.
"Our family, Xiaoguang, is about to enter middle school. I heard that you are doing well in your studies. You should help your younger brother more."
Facing this woman, Wei Nian seemed a little embarrassed, but responded lightly: "En."
While talking, the boy had already packed up his things, held a stack in his hand, and walked out.The woman also followed to the door, then turned around and said, "Weinian, I'll tell you to come out for dinner later."
With a bang, the door closed.
"I have to remind you when I eat, I'm not a child, hum."
Thinking about it, Wei Nian sat on the bed and lay down again.There is no trace of impurities on the smooth milky white ceiling, and Wei Nian thinks of the ceiling in the living room at home that was blackened by the oily smoke from the kitchen next door, and his mother who has gone away from him, and everything feels like a dream.I don't know what my brother is doing now.
After a while, there was a light knock on the door, and then Dad's gentle voice: "Weinian, come out for dinner."
The dinner here is very rich, much better than usual, but it doesn't have the usual feeling.Usually, even eating some leftovers by himself would be very relaxing, but here, it made him very nervous.
Wei Nian quickly finished his meal and went back to his room.
After reading for a while, the door creaked open.
Dad walked in and said, "Weinian, have you taken a shower yet?"
"No, I washed my face."
Dad frowned: "The bathroom in this room has not been used for a long time, and there are no towels in it. How did you wash it?"
Wei Nian bowed his head and remained silent.
Dad sighed softly and walked out. Soon, Dad came in with a quilt in his arms: "Wei Nian, it's winter now, and it's still a bit cold under a layer of quilt. This quilt is new and no one sleeps on it yet." But it's clean, you can put it under and put the old one on top."
"Ah."
"By the way, where are your pajamas? I remember I bought two sets for you last time and put them here."
"Oh, I didn't find it."
"Then I'll ask my aunt, maybe she washed it and put it away."
The door was closed, and the voice rang out again.
"How do I know? Could it be that I would steal his clothes?"
Dad's voice was very soft, and he couldn't hear what he said, but he seemed to be persuading the woman.
"Okay, tell him to put his things away next time, and don't blame me for missing something."
The woman's high-heeled shoes rattled the floor, and the sound became farther and farther away.Then came the sound of Dad's slow approaching footsteps, which became clearer and clearer.
The door was pushed open again, and Dad shouted to Wei Nian: "Wei Nian, before it's too late, I'll take you to the supermarket to buy pajamas, and buy some daily necessities by the way, I'm busy today, I forgot I bought it."
Wei Nian nodded and followed his father out the door.
In the city's luxurious shopping malls, Dad took Wei Nian to do some shopping.
Wei Nian has not been to such a large shopping mall for a long time, and usually does not leave home very far except for special events.Now that I have my father's car, it is not difficult to go to the urban area or even the large shopping malls in the city center.
Dad picked out two sets of cute light-colored pajamas for him, and bought a lot of daily necessities with him.Finally, when passing by the book area, Wei Nian was attracted by a book.On the cover, a little boy is holding a golden moon, sitting on the roof of a high-rise building in the city. Not far away is a dark city, with densely packed buildings, high and low, and the night is bleached into light blue.
"The moon fell from the sky, and the little boy fished it out of the water. The sky without the moon made people feel scared, but soon, batches of "moons" were produced and hung in front of the windows of every house , they gradually forgot about the moon. But the real moon was lying in the little boy's house, dim, forgetting the past. The lonely moon and the lonely little boy were enjoying each other's care in the deep city. The warmth that came. The moon grew up slowly and recovered its memory, but it could never go back to the little boy's home. Moreover, when the moon relived the good memories with the little boy again, it gained The courage to ascend to the sky."
Like a train of smiling moons, to every sad dark city.However, when the outer darkness of the city passed, the invisible darkness became deeper and deeper, and the loneliness and anxiety of the people's hearts were never far away.
Dad asked gently: "Why, do you want to buy it?"
Wei Nian nodded.
"Okay then, just buy whatever books you want, take as many as you want, and pay the bill together later."
"Hmm." Wei Nian smiled.
In the end, Wei Nian chose Jimmy's anime picture book, a novel and two comics, and put them in the shopping cart. ?
☆, heart like ice
"Have you really decided?" The restaurant owner faced the rare and serious Yang Jiugeng who was sitting across from him.
"Well. It's decided. After all, I'm still young. The future society needs knowledge and talents. It won't last long for me to come out and mix in society at such a young age."
"You should think about it."
"I've figured it out. I'll go back to school in the future, and I'll come here to work on weekends. Anyway, the kind people in the school and society, as well as those neighbors, have supported me. I can't live up to their kindness."
The boss laughed: "You kid has changed a lot."
"People have to grow up. I can't stay the same. I still have a long way to go. I've thought about it carefully, and this is the best way."
The boss smiled and said: "Well, it's a good thing for young people to be motivated. You and my cousin Hongsen are like brothers, and I can be regarded as your half cousin. I am easy to get along with, so you don't have to worry too much about it. Many. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, as long as it is the right thing, I will help you."
"Really?" Yang Jiugeng looked at the boss gratefully.
"That's still fake." The boss took a sip of tea and said slowly.
In this way, Yang Jiugeng returned to the campus and continued to study in his third year of junior high school.It's just that he no longer goes to school with Li Weinian.The distance between these two schools was not close, which made him a little disappointed.
During Wei Nian's absence, Yang Jiugeng seemed to have lost his direction, he didn't know how to go.
There used to be a big family together, father, mother, and younger brother. Although the relationship with each other was not very harmonious, the family was still very lively.But now, he has lost his parents and brother one after another, and he has to face a future where he doesn't know where to go.Going home every day is alone, facing the empty house alone, it feels empty and cold.This coldness has also gradually worn down this once unruly bad boy to become mature and sensible.
In the twinkling of an eye, February, the end of the new year comes suddenly.
The winter in the southern country is cold and humid, the weather is gloomy all day long, and the smiling face of the sun is not seen.Even if the layers of clothing are tightly wrapped, it is difficult to resist the cold moisture in the air seeping into the body through the collar of the collar.There are many smogs, and the coldness of the twelfth lunar month is overwhelming.
Weinian came out of the school gate with his head down, holding a report card in his hand.The children are all wrapped tightly, and with the schoolbags on their backs, they look like rice dumplings.
"The next year!"
Li Weinian looked away from the report card, looked up, and saw his father waving at him in the open window of the familiar black car.
When I got in the car, my father said, "I happened to be passing by here on business today, so I came here to pick you up."
While listening, Wei Nian lowered his head and unzipped his schoolbag, trying to stuff that report card into his schoolbag.
"What? The grades are out?" the man asked.
"Ah."
"Show it to Dad."
"There's nothing to see...forget it..." Wei Nian said perfunctorily.
"What's the matter, hurry up, show Dad."
"Oh." Weinian responded slowly, and handed over the report card.
A smile gradually appeared on the man's face: "Not bad, third in grade. Wei Nian is so obedient, and doesn't worry Dad at all."
Wei Nian did not answer the call.Dad returned the report card to him.
"Actually, Dad doesn't insist on your grades. There's no need to compare yourself with others. As long as you try your best, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. As long as you work hard, Dad doesn't care about rankings. and grades."
Both father and mother have surprisingly consistent ways of educating minors.They believe in their children and don't force them.So Wei Nian listened to them as usual.
Wei Nian turned around silently and looked out the window.Street trees and people flew by, and outside the car window, the sky was dim and everything was gray.Just like his mood, always like pure white ice and snow, always so calm and cold.There is no temperature, no color.No one can understand the sadness of the coming year.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, do you want any presents? You did so well in the exam, Dad is willing to buy you anything you want."
"No. I don't want anything in particular." Li Weinian said coldly.
"Really? You name it, whatever you want. Books, toys, or computers? Or where do you want to travel? Hainan? Hong Kong? Taiwan?"
The next year has become very quiet.He didn't answer.It seemed like a long time before he said slowly, "Can I... want a mobile phone..."
"What? A cell phone?"
"Ah."
The man frowned slightly: "Do you need to use a mobile phone now? It seems that not many of your classmates use mobile phones? Does the school allow you to bring mobile phones?"
"The school doesn't say for sure... Many of my classmates have it."
"Okay, since Wei Nian wants it, I'll accompany you to buy it this weekend."
"Hmm." Wei Nian replied.The car became quiet.The two had nothing to say all the way and went home.
This year's New Year's Eve.When Wei Nian came back from buying books in the bookstore in the afternoon, they were all his favorite ancient books.As soon as I got off the elevator and walked to the door of the house, I heard loud and unstoppable laughter coming from the house. It seemed that there were many people.He took out the key with his cold hands and gently opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he felt overwhelming gazes on himself.Li Weinian felt that there were countless silver needles pricking his body, which made him extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to escape instantly, but he was at a loss.So he calmly changed his shoes, and then faced the crowd.
They are all relatives from the aunt's side, and a dozen of them sat together on the sofa harmoniously.
Auntie came out of the kitchen and saw Wei Nian who was at a loss, she smiled and pulled Wei Nian in front of everyone, and said, "Hey, this is Li Weinian, this time he got the third place in the whole grade, and he is still a key middle school Woolen cloth."
"Oh, is that so? What a good boy." A chubby middle-aged woman pulled Wei Nian over and sat down.
"Wei Nian, this is Auntie." Auntie said.
"Hello, Auntie." Weinian said in a low voice.
"Hey, you're so good, you're so sensible, come to eat, I specially brought the fruit back from Hainan. Xiaoguang, Xiaofan, don't bother playing games, come here quickly and get the fruit, I brought it back from Hainan specially."
"Don't disturb us, it's really annoying." The two teenagers crowded in front of the computer beside them, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
Next to the two boys, a girl smiled and said, "Mom, they don't care about eating now. In their eyes, games are much more interesting than fruits."
The aunt laughed and scolded: "Look at you two skinny children, don't teach my sister bad."

Cold fingers touched the smooth body.On the front, a nice home button.On the back, a nice logo is placed above the middle.Simple, extreme.
He just sat there.The room was so quiet that there was not even a sound of breathing. In the dim light, the boy melted into the boundless cold darkness...
After the lively dinner, my aunt and several women cleaned up and washed in the kitchen.
Wei Nian also helped to collect the tables outside, while the other
