There is a feeling called heartache

Chapter 11 Brother's Love
I know that the kid who ran behind the truck more than ten years ago should actually be me.

Whenever I sit in the most luxurious office building in the city and look at the busy people on the street, I have a special feeling.Who would have thought that in just a dozen years, I would go from a child carrying dry food to school in a ravine to a white-collar worker of this wholly-owned company, driving a newly purchased "Sail" and going in and out of high-end places in suits and shoes.And all of this was actually caused by a disaster.

When I was 13 years old, a flood destroyed the entire mountain village in my hometown. I didn’t know until I was rescued from a tree that only me and my half-brother were left in the family.The parents and the dilapidated house at home were washed away by the flood.

I felt more hopeless than ever.Although my family was poor in the past, but I studied well, it is entirely possible to go to school outside the mountains, and then fly out of this poor place.But now everything is broken.And my half brother, who was rough and reckless since he was a child, didn't like to study, but because of the partiality of his stepmother, he was able to get more love.I never liked him.

Soon, the township cadres brought a middle-aged man who was said to be a distant brother of my father, our uncle.I feel that there is hope, and my uncle will definitely take us out.Unexpectedly, my uncle said that my family didn't have much ability to adopt us two brothers, so we could only take one away.The hope that had just been kindled in my heart was dashed again.My younger brother is tall and strong. If my uncle had to choose, he probably wouldn't choose me.

But the next day, my uncle left some money for my younger brother and wanted to take me away.My brother cried and followed us to the entrance of the village, and I cried too, but my selfish heart made me dare not look back, for I was afraid that my uncle would change his mind.

The truck started, and through the gray rear window, I saw my brother running and crying after him.The truck drove faster and faster, and his figure became smaller and smaller, until finally he was out of sight.

I followed my uncle to the provincial capital, and life was not good.Although there are no children in his family, his aunt often criticizes Sang and scolds Huai at home.Not only me, but also my uncle was scolded by her all day long.I've endured it anyway, as long as it allows me to go to school.

I was finally admitted to a key university in Beijing. Because of my excellent grades, I was hired by the current wholly-owned company before I graduated.Soon, I took out a large house with a mortgage in the city center.

At that time, my aunt had passed away, so I brought my uncle over.

Just when I was full of hope for life, my brother suddenly appeared.When I looked at the younger brother in black padded jacket and full beard, who had completely become a farmer, I suddenly felt a lot of guilt.Although I haven't thought of him much for so many years, seeing the gap between the two now, I still feel sorry for him.

The younger brother stayed.

He squatted on the ground while eating, talked loudly, and made a mess of my newly renovated home.The worst time was when a female colleague I liked came to our house as a guest, and he actually stared at her for a long time while giggling, which scared the girl and ran away.The next day, the whole company knew that I had a brother from the mountains.And the girl never said yes to my date again, saying she couldn't imagine being in a relationship with someone with a brother like that.

I realized that I could no longer get used to having a brother, let alone such a brother.

So I asked my uncle when my brother was going to leave.But my uncle told my brother whether he was going to leave this time.It suddenly occurred to me that the old house in my uncle's house is now a hot spot for developers, and I heard it can be sold for a lot of money.Does the uncle want to distribute the old house to the younger brother?I am going to have a good talk with my brother.

Unexpectedly, before I could open my mouth, my younger brother said: "Brother, my uncle asked me to come this time.

Said to give me a house. My heart clicked, and I guessed right. The younger brother continued: "I didn't think about wanting that house, and I didn't want to come here at first, but I was thinking of you. In the past ten years, I have never forgotten you." , thinking in my heart that our two brothers may never be the same as before. "As he spoke, the bearded younger brother actually choked up: "I can see that too, you don't like me...I'll be leaving in two days. "

My brother's words didn't move me at all.I just thought, if he stays, the family will continue to be in such a mess, and I will find him a job, marry a wife, and give him half of my uncle's old house... So I didn't answer my brother's words, I thought in my heart that as long as he leaves, I would rather give him a sum of money.But the uncle was determined not to let the younger brother go.I don't even have a reason to refute. My uncle gave me everything. Compared with my younger brother, my fate is already much better.

Because of his uncle's persuasion, the younger brother did not go back after all.But he doesn't talk to me like he did at the beginning, and anyone can see my resistance to him.Whenever I saw him crouching on the ground to eat, and picking lice in the sun in the garden, I felt disgusted.

I decided to talk to my brother again.Similarly, before I could speak, my younger brother said: "Brother, you don't need to say, I'm leaving. I've troubled you for a while, and now it's cold, I..." Before he finished speaking, I immediately went on to say: "No problem, here, here is 2000 yuan, you take it, go home and buy a few tons of coal, and ask my brother for it after spending it." My brother didn't answer anything, I thought he thought it was too little, so I added another 1000 yuan, But he still didn't answer.I believed more and more that he was doing it for that one-day house, so I lowered my face and said, "Why are you doing this! Brother earning money is not easy, even if you think it's too little, I have to give it to you slowly."

My younger brother's face turned red and he looked at me as if he didn't know him: "What are you talking about, brother, I don't think you are too young, but I think you treat me as an outsider." I said casually: "Aren't you just thinking about the old house!

I know you came here this time to split up the relocation fee, and I tell you, you don't have any share of that money! "

My younger brother stared at me with wide eyes, his weathered face was filled with astonishment.Hearing the quarrel, my uncle came over and pointed at me with trembling fingers: "You, you are a bastard, how can you say that about your brother! You shouldn't be like this, you two brothers, he has suffered enough in his hometown By the way, don't you feel ashamed that you haven't looked for us once in so many years?"

I knew I was wrong, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "This is everyone's fate, and I don't want to be like this."

The uncle shouted angrily again: "Everyone's fate? Let me tell you, when I went looking for you, I didn't even want to bring you back. It was your brother who said that you were in poor health and couldn't bear hardships, so he insisted on taking you away." No. Now you treat him like this!"

I stayed there, and suddenly remembered the scene of my brother running behind the car many years ago.Uncle pointed at my nose and continued to scold: "For so many years, I have been trying to bring your brother here, but he refused, saying that he was afraid of hurting you. Tell you, that old house should belong to him. Don't even think about it." !"

My selfishness was exposed, and I changed from regret to anger, and I also shouted: "I am your adopted son, that house should be mine!" Uncle broke away from his younger brother and continued to shout: "He is my own nephew, more than you! Dear!"

I froze there in surprise.The uncle continued: "You were not born to your father at all, you were brought by his first wife! Speaking of heaven, I shouldn't have left your brother in my hometown. You have no blood relationship with our family!"

The room was dead silent.I just felt that the blood was all rushing to my head, and the words my aunt scolded me when I was a child echoed in my ears: I brought back a white-eyed wolf, I don’t know when I raised it and ran away!

Uncle gradually calmed down.The younger brother squatted on the side smoking a cigarette and said, "Brother, I only found out later that you are not my real brother, but I have always regarded you as my real brother." He stood up and said to his uncle, "Forget it, I'd better go, I Brother is educated and can earn money, and you will depend on him to take care of you in the future." After finishing speaking, he took out a cloth bag from his waist: "I have earned money by driving carts and pulling stones these years, and I am not short of money. Give the ten thousand yuan to uncle, my brother gets up early and stays up late, so it is not easy to earn money." The younger brother said.

I rushed over with tears in my eyes, and hugged my younger brother... I finally failed to keep my younger brother.I sent him on the coach.The car drove away, and I ran behind, and saw my brother waving to me inside.The car drove faster and faster, but I didn't want to stop.I know that the kid who ran behind the truck more than ten years ago should actually be me.
