Xue Heng pushed the tea towards him and whispered: "Drink some first to wake up."
"Brother, I'm very awake." Xue Huan murmured.
Xue Heng said again: "Drink the tea first, and then tell me after you drink it. What you are saying now, I don't know whether you are drunk or serious."
"Okay, I'll drink." Xue Huan took a big sip, said "Ah" happily, looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and whispered: "Brother, I...suddenly miss my mother."
"I miss my mother too." Xue Heng took a long breath and muttered: "I haven't seen her in eight or nine months."
Xue Huan's eyes were red and he whispered: "I...eight years have passed."
"Mom's transfer order is coming soon." Xue Heng comforted in a low voice: "In a month or two, our family will be reunited. This year's Chinese New Year, we can finally have a real reunion year."
"It's great." Xue Huan murmured: "During the holidays in the past, my parents usually had to be on duty. I remember one Mid-Autumn Festival, we had to go to my mother's dormitory to celebrate the festival together. She went on duty, and we bought mooncakes and fruits together.
, carried it to her dormitory to wait for her, and waited for more than three hours. When mom came back, you and I had already finished the mooncakes, and dad fell on the sofa and fell asleep. Mom cooked.
I cooked a pot of sweet soup and gave each of us a bowl. We drank it happily, and we all said it was the most beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival."
"I remember." Xue Heng smiled slightly and fell into memories, "I was about ten years old at the time, and you should be eight."
"Maybe a little older." Xue Huan explained: "I guess I am ten years old, and you are twelve."
Xue Heng smiled softly, "It seems like..."
Cheng Tianyuan was cleaning up at the side and couldn't help but interject: "I'm going to have a hard time, my aunt is coming over too."
Both brothers laughed.
Xue Huan smiled halfway, but then sighed.
"Fortunately, mom is not here, otherwise she would definitely scold me. Brother, brother-in-law, you don't know... Before I came here this year, I went to see my dad, and I was scolded so badly by him that I almost couldn't bear it anymore.
"
Xue Heng smiled and said: "Don't blame our dad, that's just the way he is. He scolds you and talks about you, not for your own good. We didn't understand his painstaking efforts before, but now that we have grown up, we should understand
.”
"I understand." Xue Huan whispered: "But I... am also in a dilemma. I told her that the life I can give her for the time being is a small apartment dormitory, a bicycle, and three meals a day.
The dishes have meat, and they can’t all be expensive Western food. She cried and said she regretted coming here with me."
Xue Heng frowned slightly and whispered: "According to this, she can't get along with you. Brother, you will meet many, many people in your life, and some of them are destined to be just passers-by. Even if you can't let go, you can't live with her."
You have to learn to let go.”
"Brother, we have been in a relationship for several years, and it has not been easy." Xue Huan whispered: "Dad... he said the same thing. He said that if she can't adapt to life here and I can't support her, then I have to let her go."
Xue Heng patted his shoulder and said: "Yes, let it go. There is no grass anywhere in the world. If she doesn't change her ideas and practices and can't survive with you, then you might as well let her leave earlier. You and her
Let’s be honest. Delaying it for too long will not be good for you, and we can’t delay others.”
Xue Huan sighed deeply and smiled bitterly: "I just regret that I don't have the ability and don't have the richest family in the world to let her squander it."
“Go away!”
"Maybe." Xue Huan swallowed: "It's just... we had such a beautiful past."
Cheng Tianyuan was very quiet. He cleaned the floor, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat diagonally across from him, drinking it slowly.
The wind blowing in from the window was very cool.
Xue Heng whispered: "No matter how beautiful the past was, it has passed. People can't always live in the past! In the past, you relied on family support, and you just studied and fell in love. It's different now. You have graduated and are independent.
The family has provided enough for you. In the future, your bread will have to be earned by yourself, and your parents will have to rely on us to support and take care of you. If you really want to start a family together, you will have to take responsibility for your life. Can you?
It is the same?"
Xue Huan did not speak and took another sip of beer.
At this time, the cry of a child came from the house!
Cheng Tianyuan quickly put down the tea cup, ran into the room and took the little guy out.
Little Yangyang had just woken up. He looked around in a daze with his cute big eyes, his little fists were chubby, and his chubby face was nestled on his father's shoulder. He looked curiously at Xue Heng and Xue Huan next to him.
Xue Huan couldn't help laughing and asked: "Brother-in-law, how old is he?"
"Almost two months." Cheng Tianyuan replied, holding him in one hand and taking the bottle to make milk powder in the other.
Xue Heng stood up quickly and said with a smile: "Come, uncle, hold me."
Cheng Tianyuan handed the little guy to him, turned around and hurriedly went to make milk powder.
Little Yangyang had just woken up, looking very cute and staring at Xue Heng and Xue Huan with her big eyes, looking at them carefully.
Xue Huan pinched his chubby face, then pinched his chubby little fist, and whispered: "How cute!"
Xue Heng explained: "This is only two months old, and Xiao Ranran was more than two years old just now. It seems like it is really hard to raise a little person!"
Cheng Tianyuan ran back skillfully, hugged the little fat boy and breastfed him.
After having food, little Yangyang worked hard to suck it, and her uncle was too lazy to look at it. The little chubby hand reached for the bottle and sucked it quickly.
Xue Heng played with his little chubby feet, turned his head and said to his younger brother: "Listen to me and Dad, go and tell her clearly. Cut off the water with a knife and the water will flow more, raise a glass to relieve sorrow and make it worse. Some things are really true
You have to be more ruthless and cut off your love with a sword, otherwise it will become more painful and uncomfortable as time goes by."
Xue Huan didn't raise his head and just said "hmm" in a low voice.
Cheng Tianyuan was embarrassed and kept silent, whispering: "It's not easy for two people to really build a big family together. Lingling and I are from the north and the south. If she hadn't bravely gone south to marry me and dared to take on the responsibility with me,
Our family would not be so happy because of the heavy burden of the family. She has a car, a house and a factory at home, and she has no problem eating big fish and meat. When we got married, we couldn't even invite relatives and friends to eat.
I only gave out a few bags of wedding candies. On the second day after our wedding, she accompanied me to work in the county town to make money. I was too poor in those days to buy a meal of meat for several days, and she never complained a word. She helped make money.
To raise a family, I work during the day and work part-time at night. I work during the day and go to the dock to carry goods at night. The two of us slowly built up the family, and finally we have the good environment we have today."
After a pause, he echoed: "If she doesn't work and I am the only one making money to support the family, I can also support her, but the family development will definitely not be so fast, because 89% of the family's income is earned by her. But if
She was picky and disliked me for being poor, so maybe... we had separated as early as the next day when I left for the county town. I am a country boy, and I am very down-to-earth. When I married my wife, I wanted to live a good life with her.
