Chapter 2107 Brother and Nephew

"I rarely went back afterwards."

"I'll probably have a big fight with them when I go back."

The old man said calmly that his performance was not very good.

"I don't want to argue with them."

"But you know, people sometimes can't control their emotions."

"Fortunately, I still have a younger brother."

"He is twelve years younger than me."

"I left home before he grew up."

"I don't spend much time with my brother."

"My parents are also a little worried that I will lead my younger brother astray."

"If my younger brothers learned how to be willful like me, they would probably go crazy."

The old man grinned at himself.

"They look at my brother very strictly."

"My brother did as they wished..."

"Excellent grades... got admitted to a good university... and successfully entered a government department after graduation."

"My younger brother's life is proceeding step by step as they expected."

"Don't get me wrong."

As if realizing that his words might be somewhat ambiguous, the old man waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean it to be bad."

"Everyone has his own way of living."

"The most important thing is to be happy,"



"When my brother got married, I returned home after a long absence."

"Before, because I never got married, I had a big quarrel with my family."

This injury was the first time the old man had stayed in one place for so long since he embarked on his journey.

The rare ordinary life made him think a lot.

Many memories from the past came to his mind.

Coupled with recent events, the old man found that like other old people, he began to recall and lament the past.

"Maybe I haven't met the right person."

"I'm on the road again."

"I feel good walking around with Huzi."

"I didn't deliberately say I won't get married, but if I don't meet the right person, I have no intention of getting married just for the sake of getting married."

"But parents always hope that their children can have a home of their own."

"I know they are doing it for my own good."

"But in my own life, I want to live according to my own wishes."

The old man sighed slightly, "I hope my parents can understand me."

"But my parents also hope that I can understand them."

"None of us are wrong."

"None of us can convince anyone."

"No one wants to give in."

"But our relationship hit a stalemate."



"Sorry, I'm going too far."

The old man suddenly came to his senses.

As people get older, they tend to chatter endlessly when talking about the past.

But what he said was not his adventure experience. It was neither interesting nor of any reference.

It can be said that there is no value worth sharing with others.

But he couldn't help but say it.

He said so much.

Probably...he was really touched by how little friend Xiao Xiao had always taken care of him.

For little friend Xiao Xiao, he is willing to tell these yellowed old things.



"I've been talking for a long time, but I haven't gotten to the point yet."

The old man shook his head.

Xiao Xiao smiled, "It's okay, Mr. Zhao said slowly."

"I have time."



The old man couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.

But the next second, a gray shadow fell over the old man's eyebrows.

"My brother's child, my nephew, is getting married."

Seeing that little friend Xiao Xiao did not show doubts because of his big leap, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time had to admire little friend Xiao Xiao's steady mind.

He took a sip of tea.

The white mist blurred his expression.

"The family is very happy."

"I'm glad too."

"I am not married and have no offspring."

"My brother's children are just like my children."



"The other party is a girl from a scholarly family. My parents, my brother, and my sister-in-law are very satisfied."

"They were originally worried about my nephew's partner."

"As a boy, I was naughty when I was young."

"One time I fell down the stairs while playing with someone, and from then on..."

The old man paused, then continued, "My nephew walks with a slight limp."

"Just a few."

"You won't notice much if you don't look carefully."

"But you will find out if you get along for a long time."

"...To put it bluntly, my nephew can be considered disabled."

"So my parents and younger brother have always been worried that my nephew will be looked down upon because of this."

"People nowadays pay attention to appearance."

"You said it's ugly for a good young man to walk with a slight limp."

"Maybe the girl won't like it so much after seeing it."

"So, my nephew found a girl from such a good family, and they are very happy."

“I can’t wait for the wedding.”

"I want two young people to settle down quickly."



"That girl came to the hospital once with my nephew."

"Wenwen, quiet, delicate and graceful."

"very polite."

"That's the type of girl my parents like best."



"Two young people fell in love and talked about getting married... It was a very happy thing."

"But……"

The old man smiled bitterly, "The bride price proposed by the other party's parents is too much."

"They have already asked the man to provide a wedding room."

"My brother's family is only well-off."

"Having a wedding room is already the limit."

"Of course my nephew has prepared the bride price."

"However, the amount they asked for was much more than what my nephew had prepared."

"My nephew, my brother, they simply can't afford so much."

"My brother, sister-in-law, and nephew have all come to discuss with each other many times."

"The woman's parents refused to back down."

"...During one of their conversations, they brought up the problem of my brother's feet."

The old man sighed.

"My brother and the others suddenly realized that the other party was not satisfied with my nephew."

"It's just that their daughters like it, so they have to accept it."

"Although they are willing to agree to the marriage because of their daughter."

"However, they are not willing to make any concessions when it comes to the bride price."

"In their opinion, their daughter has already suffered a lot by finding my nephew."

"You should ask for more as a bride price."

"If my brother and the others cannot provide the gift required by the girl's parents, the marriage will not count."

"Although my brother and the others are angry about this..."

"But there's nothing we can do."

"The girl is really nice."

"It's not like my brother doesn't understand the psychology of the other parent's parents."

"But the problem is, my brother can't afford so much money."

"Even if my parents help, the amount is far from enough."

"Then they thought of me."

The old man thought of the excitement and softness in his heart when he saw the call from home...

He has no contact with his family for a long time...
