Brothers are tough

In the summer night, it seems that you can still hear the chirping of insects in the grass, with a few croaking frogs.

Li Qi was standing there, when he heard the door knock, an old voice asked: "Is Li Xun at home?"

Because Li Qi left home too early, he couldn't remember these people in the village, so he opened the door politely, and saw an old man with thinning hair, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, wearing an old suit, but he might have worked too much. A little tanned.Li Qi smiled and asked, "Who are you?"

The old man said: "Your mother called me Old Dongshu, but you have to call me Old Dongye."

Li Qi said with a smile: "Old Master, please come in quickly." Then he shouted into the room, "Brother, we have a visitor."

The old man said beside him: "What kind of guest am I?"

Li Xun was washing his feet and came out with his shoes on. The old man sat down and Li Xun lit a cigarette for him.The old master took out an envelope and handed it to Li Xun, saying: "I heard that Li Qi has been admitted to Peking University. These are the wishes of the village."

Li Xun opened it and saw that there were more than 1 yuan, so he pushed it to the old man and said, "Grandpa Dong, you don't need this, you should take it back, I can pay for Xiao Qi's college expenses."

Seeing Li Xun's firm refusal, the old master had no choice but to take the envelope and asked, "What has Li Xun been doing all these years?"

Li Xun said in a deep voice: "I'm not going to be a soldier, I'll stay in the army."

The old man flicked the cigarette ash and said, "That's not bad, you can be regarded as an officer."

Li Xun said modestly: "Just a captain, no matter what time he is still a soldier."

The old man nodded and said, "Yes." Then he asked Li Qi, "Which university did Li Qi go to?"

Li Qi smiled and said, "I got into Peking University."

The old master smiled: "As expected of your mother's child, your mother was also a student at Peking University."

Li Qi nodded, and the old master asked Li Xun again: "How old are you this year, have you married a wife?"

Li Xun only said: "I'm 27, and I've forgotten about this in the army for many years."

The old master said enthusiastically: "I have a niece who is a graduate student at the age of 25 and has no match. What do you think?"

Li Xun thought that he was just a captain, and he hadn't saved any money in the years of being a soldier, and the other party was a high-achieving student, knowledgeable, could he take a fancy to him, but he couldn't reject the kindness of the old master.

Li Xun said with a smile: "Master Dong, I think I'm a rough person, I'm afraid I won't be worthy, and I haven't saved any money in these years, and my family's conditions are not good."

The old master didn't think so, and said: "Why don't you deserve it? I'll call tomorrow and ask her parents first. You leave a phone number, so I can contact her and see you."

Li Xun had no choice but to leave the old Dongye with a phone number. The old Dongye left after smoking a cigarette. Li Xun and Li Qi arrived at the door.

Back in the room, Li Xun handed Li Qi a diary: "This is left by your mother."

Li Qi received it and turned to the first page. It recorded the date of pregnancy. Li Qi thought he was not born at that time.Li Xun went to bed and lay outside, Li Qi said: "I'll go to the bed to see." Inside the bed, leaning on the pillow, under the dim light, slowly and carefully looked through, Li Qi saw the mother's love for her lover Missing, the little things in life, and the love for the unborn self in my stomach, but I don't see resentment and regret.Li Qi didn't understand why his mother left his father, but he had never experienced such a deep love, but he envied such a feeling.

When I was a child, I thought that my father abandoned my mother and myself, and was laughed at by the children in the village as a child without a father. Li Qi touched the jade on his chest, the father surnamed Tang who had never met.How much Li Qi wanted to give this diary to his father now. Seeing that his mother said in the diary that his father didn't know his existence, he thought that maybe he was married and had children, maybe...

Li Qi couldn't help but forget the time. When he looked up after watching the whole thing, tears filled his eyes and fell down his face one by one. His usually sunny smiling face was full of weakness. At this moment, he was full of loneliness. Li Qi listened Hearing Li Xun's ups and downs of breathing, he put the diary aside, got into the bed and stuck to Li Xun.Li Xun opened his eyes and saw a black head in his arms, Li Xun went to embrace Li Qi with his left hand, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Li Qi hugged Li Xun even tighter, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, are you going to get married?"

Li Xun nodded his head with a "hmm" as an answer.

But Li Qi couldn't say that he would not let his brother get married. He thought that if he hadn't delayed his brother all these years, he would have had children.Li Qi curled up in Li Xun's arms, tightly grasping Li Xun's strong and professional arm with one hand, and whispered: "Brother, are you married, you won't be nice to me anymore?"

Li Xun said in a firm tone: "I will treat you well when you get married, no matter what time you are, you are my younger brother." Li Xun felt that Li Qi should not be too close when he grew up, but seeing how weak and pitiful Li Qi is now I couldn't bear to refuse.

Li Qi was very happy when he heard it, but he was a little sad when he heard "brother". Could it be that he is only a younger brother in his heart? It's my own.But it's useless to think about it, what my brother wants is a wife who will bear children for him, so that they can support each other until they grow old together, instead of just being brothers in front of outsiders.Li Qi sighs that he is a boy, if he is a girl, can he still reject him

Li Qi stopped talking and saw Li Xun falling asleep with his eyes closed, but he himself slept during the day and couldn't fall asleep at night.With his eyes open, he came into the room by the moonlight and looked at Li Xun's handsome face. Li Xun had deep eye sockets, unlike a Han nationality, with bronze skin and a strong body with eight-pack abs.There are scars on his chest, back, and waist. After a long time, he can't see how he was injured. This is the proof of his desperation for the country, and the honor he has paid for how much blood and sweat.

The next day, when Li Xun got up to practice in the morning, he saw that it was very foggy outside, the sun had not yet risen, and Li Qi was still asleep at home, so he went to the restaurant alone to buy breakfast and came back.When I got home, I saw that Li Qi was still awake,

After eating by himself, he covered Li Qi's share to keep warm, and waited until the sun rose and the fog cleared before Li Qi woke up.

After Li Qi finished eating, the two of them packed up their things and went back to the city. When Li Qi saw the diary beside the bed, he felt very complicated, and finally put it in his backpack.Before leaving, I bought something and went to visit the old man. This time it may take several years to come back, so I want the old man to help take care of the old house.

When they left, the folks gathered around to see the two brothers, and they were full of praise. Perhaps in their hearts, the Li Xun brothers were not from the same world as them.

Li Xun and Li Qi returned to Zhao's mother's house, Zhao's mother was very happy to prepare meals, surrounded Li Qi and began to ask if everything needed was ready, but did not ask what to bring

Li Xun saw Zhao Ma's love for Li Qi from the bottom of his heart, and also thought about why Zhao Yong didn't get married until now, because Chen Zhengsong is now fighting against his family, this road is undoubtedly difficult, how can he bear to see his younger brother go this road Woolen cloth

I have written many examples of men and women being together in the army, but without exception, they get along for a while, and when they leave the army, they break up and live separately.Zhao Yong didn't know how long he could resist, and Chen Zhengsong was also persisting, knowing that this kind of persistence would have no future, but they only held that sliver of luck, a sliver of hope, and waited for the verdict of fate.

Li Xun just thought what's the point of doing this, is it really necessary to see his younger brother not getting married for a certain man, and being condemned by the society, if Li Qi really wants to go this way to the end, then he has no choice, right?

Li Xun was standing in the yard smoking a cigarette, the smoke circles he exhaled gradually spread out in front of him, there was a jujube tree in the yard, and now it was covered with green jujubes.He reached out to pick one and tasted it, and it was full of bitter taste. The house of the Zhao family has been around for a long time, and the yard has not changed in ten years. It was heard that it was going to be relocated, but there was no movement after that.

I and Li Qi are like members of the Zhao family, staying for ten years. Li Qi has been going to boarding school since he was a child, returning to the Zhao family on Saturdays and Sundays, but I rarely come back in the army, not necessarily for a year If I can come back once, I will stay for a week and leave in a hurry.

He was very worried about Li Qi at first, so on Li Qi's birthday, he would buy some small gifts and send them back to him, but he missed Li Qi's growth years.It was as if he had gone to be a soldier, and when he came back, he saw that Li Qi had grown up, and he could only say that he had neglected a lot, so he would dote on and spoil Li Qi even more, as if in this way he could feel more at ease.

A few days later, Li Xun was going to accompany Li Qi to school, but he received an urgent task. Seeing Li Qi pursed his lips, he hurriedly packed his things and left after a few words of patience.Turning around, Li Qi angrily went back to the room and closed the door, then lay on the bed under the quilt, frowned, and muttered: "You promised to go with me, but you left again, you really don't keep your word."

On the surface, he looks very angry, but in fact Li Qi also understands that after all these years, he has long been used to his brother's behavior of leaving at will, and he is considerate and understanding, but he is angry and feels wronged because he feels that he only occupies such a small place in his heart. .
