At that time, I was young and energetic. I didn't even feel a little sad when I left home. I am as excited as a bird that has struggled for a long time and finally left the cage.
I caught a glimpse of my mother secretly wiping her tears while packing my suitcase, but he stood by and pretended to be like a light cloud. Isn't that far from home? I can go to see her by train on weekends. The girl has been used to "free-range" since she was a child, and she is not so delicate outside.
I am more "excited" and more at ease. When I'm gone, I'll take my mother over and never come back to this town again, so that you can bully me from childhood.
He always likes to compete with me. Hearing this, he was suddenly silent and speechless for a long time.
My mother was afraid of being sad when she sent me. In order to save a ticket, she sent Chu Mo to send me. He said "Oh", which was a promise, and he looked unwilling.
I continued to pack a few things, thinking, anyway, I'm leaving, and this home will be yours in the future, and I'm too lazy to dispute with you.
It takes one and a half days to travel from a small town in Steel City to Xi 'an Anyou 1026 km far away. Chu Mo didn't say a word all the way, basically I was in a state of complacency. The beautiful scenery along the way and the yearning for a better life in big cities all make me, a "wild girl" from the countryside, look forward to it inexplicably.
Wow, Chumo, why is the outside world so wonderful? No wonder I can't bear to come back for the New Year.
I pursed my lips and looked at Chu Mo, who said nothing, unconvinced. Muttered in my heart, I'm gone, no one will argue with you for TV anymore, and you can't talk to me.
With practical experience, Chu Mo, who argued with me about 18, certainly saw my thoughtfulness at a glance. He speaks very stuffy, the air is not good, and he feels a little uncomfortable.
I watched him close his eyes and suddenly felt very sad. You gave me a ride when you knew you were carsick.
He reached out and touched my head. My shoulder-length short hair has finally grown into a ponytail, but the bangs in front are not too long. This kind of hair grows at an unscientific rate.
"Don't move, I just got a new haircut."
His hand paused and fell on my forehead, rubbing my "air bangs" in a mess.
Ah, Chumo, wait for me. He heard my roar and finally recovered his "nature" and laughed heartily. Laugh with me in the noisy corner of the train.
Many people say that I am a precocious and unruly girl, but they don't know that my father died when I was very young. To tell the truth, I don't remember what he looks like. Leaving a lonely mother to raise Chumo and me. They say big brother is like a father. At that time, Chu Mo was already in junior high school, and I was still in kindergarten. Chu Mo accepted half of her mother's burden without complaint. This is fifteen years.
Although I hate to admit it, I grew up well under the care of Chu Mo. Because I often go "shrimp fishing" and "climbing trees to steal melons" with him, of course, I steal my own melons ... Chu Mo said that "stealing has a way", so I am a principled person. Later, the principled consequence was that we were scolded by our mother, and then Chumo took the blame for my "instigation" and was sentenced to close the room and not allowed to eat dinner.
I stole a piece of fried steamed bread while my mother was washing dishes and feeding the animals. It was yesterday on my birthday that my mother borrowed the meat-fried steamed bread from my second aunt next door, and I didn't want to eat it all at once. It's hot today. Although it's not as oily as yesterday, it tastes good.
"Happy birthday, Chumo." I took the steamed bread in one hand and the wild fruit picked by climbing trees in the afternoon in the other, and laughed regardless of the image.
"Smelly girl, you still have some conscience." He was already very tall, but he was punished to stay in a short dark room, took some cool fried steamed buns from my hand and smiled.
I'm only one day away from Chumo's birthday. In order to save trouble, my mother simply let us spend our birthday together, which has to be in the case of her mother's sensitive memory. Since I began to understand how important a person's birthday is to him, I will specially celebrate Chu Mo.
Although he always says it doesn't matter, people's eyes don't lie. Before I gave Chumo his first birthday, his eyes lit up. Later, I realized that it was a surprise and even more touching.
"Chu mo, mom said she wouldn't give you dinner or turn on the light. It's so dark. "
"What do you know?" He came up with two words that I admire and admire, "save electricity."
When there were two stops before getting off the bus, Chu Mo began to whisper, "Smelly girl, don't be reluctant to eat when you get to school. You can buy what you lack. Tell me what you want. Don't worry about money. Don't worry about your home. I take care of you at home. You just have to concentrate on your studies, and don't worry about the rest. "
I'm so sad that I'm at a loss. He seems to have made up his mind to speak. "If there is a boy chasing you, don't hesitate. Just say you like it, don't think so much. The closer you are to home, the better. At least your family can help you share some things in the future. You have been following me since I was a child, and you are no better than me at home. You should pay attention to everything. When you are in trouble, no one will take the blame for you ... "
I looked at this rambling "boss" by the window and my tears stopped at once. "Brother, thank you ..."
For the first time in my life, I started calling him brother.
He also smiled, as if trying to hide his sadness, and laughed very loudly. I reached out to rub the broken hair on my forehead. "No, I just finished it." He didn't wipe it, but he cleaned it for me one by one.
"Don't be so wild when you go out in the future."
I wanted to talk back to him, but at the moment of my side face, I saw a bunch of white hair on his temple. My heart is deeply hurt.
It's just that it will never make way for my brother. When did you get old? How old are you?
Chumo dropped out of high school and went out to work. He said that he was not born to study, and he had a headache as soon as he entered school. He still likes the life of catching shrimps.
I know he wants to go out to work to earn my tuition. Bitch girl, she is not handsome, but she has a good brain. Better than your brother and I, study hard in the future and don't worry about tuition.
I don't know, Truman. I don't want to go to school. It costs money to go to school, so it is better to work to supplement the family.
What are you talking about? As soon as you praised yourself for being clever, your head rusted. It's better for a girl to have some ink in her stomach. You think society is so easy to mix.
I was speechless by him.
When his father was away, Chu Mo held up half the sky at home, and as Chu Mo grew up, his mother became more and more dependent on him. Listen to him on big and small issues. Later, whenever I recalled the past, I was particularly grateful to Chu Mo for this decision. This decision changed my life.
The train finally arrived at the station, and Truman kept seeing me to the school gate, helping me with a few bags and bags. He gave me delicious food.
Brother can only send you here, and the future depends on you. His handsome short hair is floating around, and his tall and straight figure looks good. I remember when I was a child, he took me into trouble and took the fall for me.
I knew what he was going to say when I looked at the way he mumbled something in his mouth. "Elder brother, I will take care of myself, and so will you. Don't lose yourself. I will bully you in the future. "
Chu ink pretended to be angry and looked at me, stretched out his hand and rubbed the broken hair on my forehead.
"I know."
I know you all know. The words I will never say to you, "You protect me from growing up and I will grow old with you."
The end—
