brother's advice

When he found the teacher with the accordion on his back, the teacher was quite surprised. "I didn't expect your mother to pay attention to spiritual cultivation. Although the principle of the pedal organ is similar to that of the accordion, I haven't played the accordion before. Let's try it together. So, which one do you want to learn first?"

Wu Jidong shook his head blankly, he didn't know any songs except the national anthem, asked him how could he know.

"Okay, then let the teacher choose one for you."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Just this one, Looking at the Starry Sky, how about it?"

Since he doesn't have any knowledge of rhythm and doesn't know how to read music scores, it's very difficult for him to learn. He takes the initiative to pester the teacher every time he takes a break, and he gets excited when he learns a little. It was not smooth and intermittent, but Wu's mother was very happy to hear it, and occasionally teased him.

"My son is becoming more and more like a cultural person."

"Mom, don't interrupt, it's going to be played again."

"Haha, I'm shy."

When he was finally able to skillfully play the whole piece with his eyes closed, his mother could no longer hear it.

Even though he was a kid, he could see the tension among the grown-ups.Dad gets called out more and more

Many, always tired when they come back.

Moreover, the adults no longer gather together to chat, and sometimes they will lower their heads to avoid them when they come face to face, and he was also told by his mother: let go

Go home after school, and don't talk about other things outside of your studies.

Although he was confused, but seeing his mother's nervous look, he nodded in agreement.

It was drizzling and extremely cold. When he woke up early in the morning, he felt inexplicably flustered, although he didn't know why: "Mom, can I skip school today?"

"why?"

"I, I just want to stay at home today." He couldn't find an excuse, so he started to play tricks on his mother.

"Stop making trouble, if your dad sees it, he will be upset again. Didn't you say that you still don't understand the song? Just ask today

Teacher, come back, mom, can I listen to you play the complete piece? "

Mother asked him to put on the newly knitted red sweater, checked it again, and put the prepared lunch box into the cloth bag for fear of freezing him.Then rubbed his head. "Listen carefully to the teacher's words. You must heat up the food before eating at noon."

"it is good."

"Xiaodong, you..." Looking at his mother who seemed hesitant to speak, he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong? Mom."

"It's nothing." Mother Wu lowered her head slightly.

He didn't expect this to be the last conversation with his mother, and he didn't understand why a person who was fine in the morning said he was gone and then he was gone...

He yelled and grabbed his father's clothes and asked why?No matter how he asked his father and how his mother died, Wu Dacheng just kept sighing and shaking his head, and he refused to reveal any news. In the end, he was pulled away by his second uncle Wu Dayi.

Later on, he always thought in his heart: If that day, if he insisted not to go to school that day.Will things turn around?Will he be able to protect his mother?

It was snowing in the sky, and that was the coldest day he felt, and he looked up at the gloomy sky as if he was having a nightmare.There were very few people who came to the funeral. Looking at the dark coffin, he didn't understand why the person who smiled gently at him in the morning was lying in it in the blink of an eye, unable to smile, speak to himself, or I can't even listen to myself playing the accordion.

After hysteria, he became as quiet as a dead tree, lifeless, as if overnight he was forcibly pulled from a naughty child into a sensible adult.

He still went to school, and he would still do the usual things, as if nothing had happened, but the number of times he was in a daze became more and more, and he refused to say a word anymore.Suddenly there was no hostess at home, and no one was cooking, so he cooked by himself.No one does laundry, so he does it himself. After school, he still digs wild vegetables to feed the pigs.

After finishing the housework, he seemed to have lost his soul, wandering off and on, often sitting with the accordion all night.In the morning, it seemed to be back to normal again, repeating what happened yesterday.

The conversation between father and son became less and less. Occasionally he did something wrong. Normally, Wu Dacheng would be so angry that he would hit or scold him. Now scolding seems powerless.

After passing the cold winter like this, the spring when all things recover has arrived, and school is about to start again, the last semester of this elementary school.Wu Dacheng took out the money.

"Ji Dong, this is the tuition fee. I have something to do today, so I can't accompany you to the school to sign up. You are so old now, is it okay?"

"Yeah." He took the money and put it in his schoolbag.

Today is the first day of registration, there are no classes, and I will come back after sending out new books.As soon as I got home, I felt light-headed and dizzy, and fell asleep lying on the table.

Dazedly hearing voices, he looked up and saw his father talking to a woman.

"dad."

"Ji Dong, come here, Dad has something to tell you."

"What time is it now, I should cook."

"Just sit here and I'll cook." The strange woman said with a smile.

"Who are you?!!" Wu Jidong was inexplicably furious when he saw this woman, and his tone was very angry.

"How do you say it? Her name is Zhang Yan. You can call her Auntie Zhang. Also, this is your younger brother named Wu Jinan. From now on, they will call her Auntie Zhang."

Live with us. "Wu Dacheng pointed to the boy about seven or eight years old with a head sticking out from behind the woman.

"Brother." Wu Jinan was not afraid of life, so he opened his mouth and shouted crisply.

"Who is your brother! I don't have a younger brother! I don't want any aunts, get out! You all get out!!" After hearing this, Wu Jidong became angry, and he vented what he had been hiding in his heart like a fire-breathing dinosaur. Angry, he roughly pulled the woman and the little boy and pushed them out of the door. Wu Jidong was originally tall, but now he is taller than Zhang Yan, and he is also very strong. If Wu Dacheng hadn't pulled him back , I'm afraid people big and small will really get out of the door.

"Slap!" A loud slap hit his face.

"Now you are getting smaller and smaller!!"

Wu Jidong glared angrily: "As expected, you had women when Mom was still around, and now you have brought them in after only a few months since Mom left, right..."

"You still say!!" Wu Dacheng was so angry that he wanted to hit him again, but was stopped by Zhang Yan. "The child is still young, this kind of thing has to be done slowly."

"Damn [-], smelly shameless!!"

Zhang Yan was so scolded that her eyes were red, but she just kept her head down and said nothing.

There was a lot of quarrel here, and Wu Jinan over there saw such a rare thing as the accordion on the table, so he fumbled around. "Boom!!" A single syllable sounded.Wu Jidong was furious even more, he stretched out his hand and pushed him to the ground. "This is my thing, who told you to touch it."

The little boy was pushed hard, and he sat on the ground with one buttock, which made him cry out loud. At this time, Wu Dacheng was so angry that his teeth were chattering, he rushed to the back of the door to fetch the pole, raised his hand and to hit him.

Wu Jinan on the ground suddenly stopped crying, and stood up with a grunt: "Dad, don't hit brother, I don't hurt!"

"Okay, your family is reunited, I'm redundant, okay? If they don't go, I'll go!" Hearing someone call his father his father was really harsh, and he ran outside like a madman holding the accordion up.
