"I believe you." Tao Huainan raised his hand to touch his face, "I know you are very good, but you will work a lot."
Chi Cheng twitched his chin indifferently: "Don't think about things."
They sat like this from noon until evening, and Chi Cheng was going to prepare dinner for them. Tao Huainan pinched a piece of his clothes and kept quiet the whole time. Chi Cheng was about to stand up, patted him, Tao Huainan raised his head before moving away, and kissed Chi Cheng lightly on the chin.
Chi Cheng rubbed his hair, put Tao Huainan aside, got up and went to the kitchen by himself.
The two younger brothers, Tao Xiaodong, ignored each other and got angry when they saw each other.
But it is impossible for the elder brother to never go home. Tao Huainan called him twice a day, and Tao Xiaodong returned after a few days. When he went back, he took off his clothes and went to take a shower without talking to them.
Tao Huainan waited for him to come out at the door, and Chi Cheng went to cut the fruit.
Tao Xiaodong came out after washing, with a towel on his hair, and the two younger ones looked at him.
"Brother." Chi Cheng called him.
Tao Xiaodong pretended not to hear.
"Brother, talk to me." Tao Huainan stretched out his hand towards him, Tao Xiaodong patted the back of his hand when passing by, Tao Huainan shrank back, rubbed the back of his hand and said, "Are you finally going to domestic violence too?" ?”
Tao Xiaodong said as he walked, "Now I finally understand why so many parents always beat their children."
"If you don't feel angry, don't you?" Tao Huainan asked.
Tao Xiaodong glanced at Chi Cheng, and said, "Now you have to be thankful that you are not my real brother, otherwise I would be cowardly if I didn't beat you today."
Tao Xiaodong saw that both of them felt headaches now, even though Chi Cheng did it, Tao Huainan was also very passive, knowing that he didn't know beforehand, but it was impossible not to vent his anger at this time, these two young people have always been together .
Tao Xiaodong didn't stay in the living room, but went back to his room and sat on the bed. Recently, I contacted a lot of friends waiting to do things. With such a big child at home, he kept asking about the school. There was a bunch of messages on the phone and there was no reply, but he wasn't in the mood to read them either.
Chi Cheng walked in from the living room, but Tao Huainan did not follow.
Tao Xiaodong saw that his heart was blocked, and he didn't bother to look up.
Chi Cheng came over and sat on the floor, next to Tao Xiaodong's leg, and called "Brother".
Tao Xiaodong still didn't raise his eyes, just kept looking at the phone.
"Hit me, brother." Chi Cheng put his arms around his knees and said to Tao Xiaodong, "I may not be your real brother, but you are my real brother. It's only natural for you to hit me when I did something wrong."
Only then did Tao Xiaodong turn his attention to him, looking at the top of Chi Cheng's head, and said "Yo" after a long time: "Cheating? Did your brother write a manuscript for you?"
"No." Chi Cheng looked up at him, "I can't speak, bro, don't be angry."
The two of them must have a chat, no matter whether Tao Xiaodong hit him or not, Chi Cheng's apology must be over, no matter what the reason is, he still did something wrong after all.
Tao Huainan didn't eavesdrop on their conversation, and went back to his room. It is very difficult for Chi Cheng to have such a frank chat with others, he can't even say many things to Tao Huainan. He could not talk to Tao Huainan if he had something to say, and Tao Huainan could not coax him when he was angry, anyway, it would be fine in two days, but my brother was different.
"I don't care whether you are number one or not. Whether you are number one or not is just a false name. It doesn't make any difference to me whether you are number one or tenth." Tao Xiaodong was finally willing to talk to him, his eyes and tone were helpless, "You went to a school for the blind for a few years in elementary school. That's what I wished for. At that time, Tao Huainan was young and timid. I really couldn't worry about sending him in by himself. He couldn't leave people for a day."
Speaking of this, I always feel that it has not been a few years since I sent the two little radish heads to a school for the blind. Now that I think about it, it was many years ago, and now the two children are going to high school.
Tao Xiaodong thought about the stubborn little boy who always kept his mouth shut and said nothing back then, and then looked at Chi Cheng who was not much shorter than him now, frowned and said, "I would like to take him with you in junior high school, you can learn , I don’t need to care about it. Are you in high school or elementary school? You can get another champion in the exam by just thinking about it?”
Chi Cheng didn't say a word, and was scolded in silence.
"You have to go to any school with whatever grades you have. What are you trying to pay me back by doing this? Tao Huainan and I owe you these three years. You really messed up in a dilapidated high school. The college entrance examination is nothing. I'm sorry for you." Tao Xiaodong said this on purpose, with thorns in his words, and he said it so vividly, it was all to make Chi Cheng angry.
Chi Cheng frowned, and said: "I didn't think about paying it back, and I'm not paying it back either. If you don't bring me back, don't talk about school, I can't even go to school, or I won't be able to live, I can't afford it. "
"I don't need you to pay it back either." Tao Xiaodong pushed his arm against his knee, "Do you feel that you have a special business? With Tao Huainan's responsibility on your body, you feel that you can do it, and you can stand up even if you try your best right?"
Chi Cheng is really not good at talking, and he doesn't know how to tell Tao Xiaodong that what he does has nothing to do with those who don't pay back anything.
Chi Cheng sat with his head bowed for a while, then raised his head, and looked at Tao Xiaodong: "Brother, let me ask you, if you were my age, Tao Huainan would be going to high school now, what would you do?"
Tao Xiaodong didn't play this game with him, he shook his hand and said, "I don't know, don't make assumptions with me."
He said that he would not play with hypotheses, but after that, Tao Xiaodong didn't say anything for a long time. They all knew in their hearts that Tao Xiaodong would only do better if this matter were replaced.
School is important, grades are important, but they are not as important as "my brother". That year after Chi Cheng had a fight at school, no matter how anyone asked him, he would only say "he hit my brother", and it's the same now, in the final analysis, he just said "that's my brother".
"I want to tie him up for the rest of my life. I want him to live under our noses every day." Chi Cheng maintained his original posture and slowly talked to Tao Xiaodong. His eyes were calm but sincere, "I know this impossible."
Tao Huainan didn't come out of his room, so Chi Cheng turned his head and glanced towards the door, then continued in a low voice: "Sooner or later, he will have to live independently, and there will always be a time when you and I can no longer look at him But I hope it will be later, at least until he is surrounded by adults, and there are no bad people who provoke him out of curiosity and inexplicable malice. Now a 'blind kid', he's too much of a bully."
In Tao Xiaodong's impression, Chicheng had never said so many words, he still said these things unnaturally, and felt uncomfortable after he finished speaking, he was really not used to analyzing his heart like this, and expressing what was in his heart.
In these few words, he put himself in the same position as Tao Xiaodong, and it was the two brothers who were communicating. In a daze, Tao Xiaodong felt that Chi Cheng seemed to have grown up a lot.
"If he is really my real brother, then everything will be much easier to accept, and you won't feel that you owe me or not, and you won't be able to pay back anything. It's just a simple sentence of good relationship between the two brothers."
Chi Cheng stood up leaning on his hands, his voice was a little heavy: "I wish you were my brother, but my surname is Chibu Tao. I really want to do a lot of things for you, not because I was picked, but because Because he is my brother, and you are my brother."
After Chi Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and went out. It was hot in summer, and his forehead sweated a little after sitting on the floor and talking for a while. Chi Cheng lifted his clothes while walking and wiped his hem with his hem. Tao Xiaodong looked at him from behind. In fact, he was still a thin, tall and thin child with the appearance of a young man.
Tao Xiaodong has always been able to get along well in his field, and he can get along with anyone. Because he understands human feelings and can speak.
Today I was indeed gagged by the non-speaking child at home, I felt a little soft and swelled in my heart, and I also felt a little sad after being a brother for so many years, and I couldn't find the right words to say.
