Rebirth Delay

In the past few years, Sun Tong and Xu Ze have been keeping in touch with each other by letter, so Sun Tong naturally knew about their return this time.But Sun Tong didn't tell his elder brother Sun Han about this because of unspoken envy or jealousy.

On the day Sun Han left, Sun Tong actually knew about it.It was nearly two or three o'clock in the night, and Sun Tong felt in a daze that someone was sitting on the head of his bed, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out to be his brother.Sun Tong was surprised, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Complicated emotions flashed in Sun Han's eyes, but Sun Tong was still young at that time, so he couldn't see through.He just felt his brother's hand gently patting his chest, like a mother's hand, with a touch of pity and tenderness.He asked again, this time he smirked twice, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Sun Han nodded his forehead, "I'm coaxing you to sleep, don't close your eyes yet."

"Oh." Sun Tong smiled and closed his eyes obediently.Nice brother, he thought.

After a while, he felt that his consciousness was a little blurred, and the hand on his chest also left.He was secretly happy, his brother thought he was asleep, thinking so, he suddenly opened his eyes to startle Sun Han.

But when he opened his eyes, he found that Sun Han had already walked to the wall and picked up his schoolbag.

In the middle of the night, brother has to do his homework? "Brother?" The strange feeling made Sun Tong call out.

Sun Han turned his head and saw that Sun Tong's eyes were open. He was stunned for a moment, then walked over again, sat by the bed and patted Sun Tong's head, "Tong Tong, brother is leaving."

"Let's go? Where are we going?" Sun Tong looked at the sky outside in surprise, it was still in the middle of the night.

Sun Han's eyes became softer, "I don't know either."

"Then why did you leave?" Sun Tong grabbed Sun Han's hand, a little scared.

"Because I have to go." Sun Han held Sun Tong's hand behind his back, his eyes glowing softly.

"Must... go?" Sun Tong didn't understand, but asked subconsciously, "Don't wait until dawn?"

Sun Han smiled, "I can't leave until dawn."

"Then, when will you be back? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?" Sun Tong stared at Sun Han in confusion.

"I will always come back," Sun Han patted his head again, "No matter what time it is, my brother will always be my brother, and I will never leave you behind."

Sun Tong didn't understand, he thought it was his brother's promise to him.Maybe I'll be back tomorrow, maybe I'll be back the day after tomorrow, anyway, it's been two days.

Somewhat reluctant, but Sun Tong has always been obedient, so he tugged at Sun Han's sleeve, "Brother, then you have to come back early, or I will miss you."

"Brother will miss you too." Sun Han pulled his upper body over and hugged him gently.Then he let go again, stood up and walked towards the door.Before leaving the door, he turned to look at Sun Tong.

Sun Tong stared at him blankly, and when he came back to his senses, Sun Han's back had disappeared.He suddenly panicked, jumped out of bed and ran outside, but Sun Han had long since disappeared.He squatted down on the threshold with bare feet, "Brother, where have you been, why didn't you take me with you?"

Sun Han has been away for five years.After five years of no news, Mom Sun and Dad Sun once thought that something happened to him.

Five years later, on a summer afternoon, grandma and grandpa came back from the field and took a nap against the wall, while grandson was sitting in the big room doing homework, when a long strip of light suddenly appeared in the rectangular light on the floor of the main room Sun Tong looked up, and against the light, he could only see a figure, thin and tall, with curled lips, as if he was smiling, and the words he always chanted in his dreams blurted out, "...Brother?"

His brother came back, and the worry and anger accumulated by Sun's father for five years broke out in one go. He raised the rolling pin and hit Sun Han's leg. Sun's mother cried to stop being thrown aside by Sun's father. The stick was almost merciless The ground hit Sun Han's leg hard.

This stick is the bitterness of my father's half of his life, every cigarette he smoked against the window in the past five years, every night when he sighed in silence, he is so unfair, so embarrassing !

It wasn't until Sun Tong jumped up and received two sticks, and Sun's mother rushed up like crazy, that Sun's father threw the stick and went into the house.Sun Han hugged his mother and younger brother who were crying bitterly, his face full of pain.When the doctor came to see him, he said that Sun Han's leg was broken, and even if it was connected, he might be a little limping. Sun's mother was really crazy, and she went into the house with a rolling pin to fight with Sun's father.When he entered the room, he saw his father leaning on the cupboard, sitting on the ground with tears on his face, the rolling pin fell to the ground, and Sun Ma also collapsed.

"Debt, debt," Sun Ma sobbed and covered her face, "It's all our fault, why did the retribution happen to the child?! It's all my fault, why did I marry you and hurt my child so badly! Mom, I was wrong! I was wrong!"

Sun Tong followed suit and wailed loudly, holding Sun Han in his arms and weeping in the dark, his brother was going to be lame, he was going to be lame!

But at this time, Shi Yan and Xu Ze didn't know what happened to the Sun family, and they still sent back delicious and fun things every holiday as usual.In the past, the grandson was always happy, but this year he couldn't laugh no matter what. He tore open the bag of snacks, threw it on the ground, and then jumped on it, screaming and crushing it, as if he didn't have to look at it that way. What a blessing to see another pair of brothers.

After that time, Sun Tong woke up again, looking at the shattered snacks all over the floor, remembering Xu Ze always comforting him gently, he shrank into a ball in fear.He must be sick, he thought.

There was hardly any sound in the house.Sun's father and Sun's mother looked at each other in silence, and Sun Han occasionally smiled at Sun Tong when he looked over, and then quietly stared in a daze, immersed in his own world.

A few months later, as Sun Xiu arranged Sun Han to the village primary school, the family seemed to be a little angry again.Sun's father and grandson started talking again, and Sun Han would touch his grandson's head and smile as before.

But every time Sun Tong showed Sun Han the things that Shi Yan and Xu Ze sent back, Sun Han would become very strange, as if caught in a struggling mood, frowning, eyes sad, and put the gift box It was crunchy.

Sun Tong thought for a long time, but only got one answer.Like him, my brother is jealous of Shi Yan and Xu Ze's happiness.Aunts and grandparents, as well as those grandparents and grandparents who don’t want to see them, every pair of eyes is like a bent over ghost, staring at them, waiting to see their parents quarreling and fighting, watching the two of them It was embarrassing and conspicuous, and then put on a haughty look, and said, "I told you a long time ago."

Under such heavy pressure, even Sun Han and Sun Tong were forced to be breathless.If you don't explode in silence, you will pervert in silence.

Shi Yan went to the village primary school in the afternoon, but Xu Ze didn't go, and was dragged by Zhou Jie and the others to play mahjong.After more than ten years, the appearance of the village primary school has hardly changed. Shi Yan looked outside for a while and then walked in.

Sun Han is teaching the third grade.

Shi Yan looked for the door number on the top of the classroom for a while, and then saw the second class of the third year.As soon as he walked towards the door, he met Sun Han who was looking out, and the pen in Sun Han's hand fell to the desk with a clatter.

"Take a good exam and don't cheat." Sun Han said to the children in the class and walked out of the classroom.Glancing at Shi Yan who was sitting on the steps, he walked over and sat beside him.

"I'm back." Sun Han greeted him like an old friend, took out a cigarette case from his back pocket, and gave Shi Yan a cigarette, "There's no good cigarettes, don't be disgusted."

Shi Yan looked at him, he was thin and blond, he was tall, his hair was messed up, and his expression was peaceful, he was completely different from the elegant boy at that time.He took the cigarette, lit it with Sun Han's fire, and took a puff.The smoke is choking enough, and it only rushes into the nasal cavity, and the feeling of burning is very unbearable.

"Is everything okay?" Sun Han smiled, "It's been more than ten years now, and I almost didn't recognize it just now. Look at this body, you must have made a fortune. You don't think it's dirty, so just sit on the ground."

Shi Yan listened silently, smoked half of a cigarette before replying, "Do you want to go to Xinhai?"

Sun Han looked over in surprise, and the expression on Shi Yan's face told him that he was seriously asking what he thought. After a moment of silence, Sun Han shook his head, "Thank you, but I can't leave now. Tong Tong didn't do well in the exam this year, I'm afraid he will have to study for another year, and someone must accompany him."

"Hmm." Shi Yan responded.

"Oh," Sun Han laughed, "Maybe in the future, will you still take care of me?"

Delay did not answer.After a long time, the phrase "I'm joking" on Sun Han's mouth had already reached his lips, but he heard Shi Yan hummed dully, the 24-year-old youth was as mature as a 40-year-old man.

Unexpectedly, he could get this sentence, Sun Han was silent for a moment, "You have changed."

Shi Yan nodded, "It's the same for you." In the past, even if you asked for help, you still carried a bit of arrogance inherited from your father.

After finishing a cigarette, Shi Yan stood up and said to Sun Han, "Goodbye." He turned and left.

Sun Han didn't stay behind, watching the two cigarette butts on the ground go out little by little, stood up and stretched, and entered the classroom, "Hurry up and write, there are only 10 minutes left."

The little boy next to the podium boldly said, "Teacher, you look very happy."

Sun Han glanced at him, stretched out the ruler, and tapped it against the corner of the table, "Stop talking nonsense, write quickly."

In 11 years, Sun Han watched the boy shrinking his neck and smiled, 11 years was enough for a man to become mature, calm, and tolerant, enough for him to understand a man who was younger than him but far deeper than him.

Many people have asked about the five-year departure, but he never said anything.He once thought that when Shi Yan stood in front of him with a cold face at him, he would tell him about the ups and downs he had experienced in the past five years, and tell him that he was not a delicate flower, Can shoulder ups and downs.But at this time, he suddenly felt that the distance between him and the time delay was not as short as he thought.Every time it seems to be close, but thousands of miles away.

This person wraps himself up, and occasionally leaks a crack and escapes a glimmer of light, which he happily takes as everything.
