Ferocious Dog of Old - Chapter 84
[Chapter 84]
Fan Guo is only twenty-two, and he has already read the second grade. He and Chi Cheng are from the same class, two relatives brought out by the same teacher.
Another classmate who speaks less is Chi Cheng’s roommate, and Fanguo calls him “Brother Guo”.
Others don’t understand the topics the three of them are talking about. When Tao Huainan has nothing to help, he will go to them to see if there is anything he can do, and usually he won’t get too close.
In the evening, Tao Huainan returned to the hotel first, and before he came back, he finished cleaning himself up, and the bathroom returned to its original position. Chi Cheng came back and went straight to take a shower. He didn’t leave this time. He wiped his hair and ears while sitting on the bed and looking at his phone. Later, he turned on his computer and kept typing on the keyboard.
Tao Huainan was lying on his side with his back to him, his mind racing fast, thinking that he had to say something in order not to break the current atmosphere without appearing abrupt.
There was a knock on the door, Tao Huainan sat up to open the door, Chi Cheng had already stood up and went out.
The person who came was Tao Xiaodong. Brother Tang was still in the hospital and did not come back. Tao Xiaodong came back first.
“Come and chat for a while.” Tao Xiaodong didn’t know what to eat, he put it aside and said, “The patient gave it, let’s eat it.”
“Have you eaten yet?” Hand closed the door. “Just take a bite,” Tao Xiaodong walked in and saw Tao Huainan sitting on the bed, and flicked
on his head, “Are you going to sleep?”
Tao Huainan said, ” No.”
Sitting on his own bed, with a younger brother sitting on both sides of the bed, Tao Xiaodong looked at the picture, smiled and pulled a chair to sit in the middle.
Tao Huainan patted his bed and motioned for him to come and sit.
Tao Xiaodong waved his hand and said, “Pants are dirty.”
He never paid much attention to his work. Wherever he sat, his trousers were all gray.
“Are you busy?” Tao Xiaodong asked Chi Cheng again, “Does it delay you?” Chi Cheng knocked a few more times
, turned off the computer, and said, “It’s over.”
Years have not passed. It used to be like this every day. Sometimes Tao Xiaodong was sitting on the sofa and Chi Cheng was sitting beside him. Tao Huainan didn’t necessarily lie on which brother’s leg was lying. It was a common thing at that time, but looking at it now, it will inevitably bring with it the vitality and discomfort after many years.
Tao Xiaodong is a carefree brother, and there is nothing uncomfortable, but he also knows that these two little ones are a little hard now, so he threw Brother Tang himself to the hospital, and ran back to see the time.
“You two haven’t seen each other for many years, and I still haven’t asked you out.” Tao Xiaodong sat casually with his legs apart, “What’s the matter? Do you feel like my little brother and my little brother have changed?”
He went straight to the topic. Now, Tao Xiaodong intentionally brought Tao Huainan when he came out this time, he didn’t tell him in advance that Chi Cheng would also come, and also wanted to use this time to slow down the relationship between the two. The little brothers have been fighting for so many years, Tao Xiaodong tried to get them together a few times, but both of them were stubborn, and he couldn’t move anyone.
This time they came out with great difficulty, Tao Xiaodong could never let them go back in such a confused way.
“Neither of you are like me, and I don’t know what’s going on,” Tao Xiaodong leaned back on the chair and sighed helplessly, “I’ve lived in my forties, and I haven’t been angry with anyone for more than a year. My good friends probably haven’t made trouble at all.”
“Have you checked it yourself, how many years have it been?” Tao Xiaodong looked at the two of them, raised his eyebrows and asked, “You have to work so hard? What a deep hatred, brothers. It’s like this.”
According to Tao Xiaodong’s habit in the past, he had to take his two younger brothers out to eat or have a cup of tea, talk about other things first to make the atmosphere more relaxed, and then talk about these things. But this time, the schedule was very tight, and there wasn’t much time to spare. It was almost ten o’clock now, and Tao Xiaodong didn’t have so much time to go around the atmosphere, so every sentence was straightforward.
“To this day, the biggest responsibility of the two of you is mine, so I have nothing to say.” Tao Xiaodong said, “Brother did not do well.”
Originally, he didn’t answer the two of them, but when he said this, he didn’t say anything. All opened their mouths. Tao Huainan said “don’t say that”, Chi Cheng said “no”.
“How should I put it, whether it’s raising a child or being a big brother,” Tao Xiaodong put his arms on his legs, bent his back, rubbed his face, and said, “In the beginning, I also rushed ducks to the shelves, and I was half the size myself. Son, I still don’t understand. Think about it, when Brother Ku brought me back, I was actually the same age as you and I now, and I see you as children now, so I don’t know how those years went by.”
Tao Xiaodong said a little . The words have been held back for many days, and this time I came out prepared, and these words were thought out in advance. Or it can’t be said that I want to say this time. In the past few years, Tao Xiaodong has moved from more than 30 to 40, and his life has reached a new stage. His views and perspectives on many things are also different from before. They chat.
“Brother Tian Yi has read a lot of books on how to raise and educate children every year since the birth of the child. The children are very well raised. I didn’t read those at that time, it seems that I didn’t have them at that time. I just do it by feeling. , I fooled you all by being confused.”
“At that time, what I was most worried about was the loss of you, because I was afraid that I would not be able to support myself, so at that time my brother only knew how to make money, and I dared to throw the two of you by yourself when you were only elementary school and junior high school. At home, I wouldn’t even think about putting it on a child now. But at that time, my brother really only thought about this. I always felt that if you had more money, you would have a good life. We’ve all grown up this way.”
Some words can’t be mentioned, as long as they are mentioned, they will stab at the softest place in people’s hearts. Tao Xiaodong is really good at talking, and he can bring people’s emotions back to them with a few words. so many years. Tao Xiaodong has been earning money like crazy in those years, working like that for more than ten hours a day, going on business trips without getting tired, coming back and rubbing his head with one hand and coaxing him to play for a while.
When he mentioned this, no matter how hard his heart was, he couldn’t be hardened. That was the past ten years when the three brothers laughed and laughed, and it was a very good ten years that could not be erased no matter what.
Chi Cheng put the towel around his neck. Although there was no obvious expression on his face, his eyes kept hanging down, and his expression seemed to soften a little.
Tao Huainan’s eyes were already red, it was already a dream for Tao Huainan. It was the best of the best, and always has been.
“Looking back now, a lot of things were wrong. At that time, I thought it was enough to give you freedom. Children don’t like to be controlled. Let the two of you grow up slowly, and let you have little secrets from me. It’s a problem.” Tao Xiaodong laughed at himself, “No, you two are children, and let you two guide each other to grow up, how can you, a child be a parent to a child, what a nonsense.”
“Tang Brother also told me that this is still up to me. From the beginning, the bottom line for you two was wrong, making you feel that you can make your own decisions about everything, which is different from the perspective of other children’s thinking. ”
Tao Xiaodong seemed a little tired from sitting, so he stood up, stomped his legs, and sat down again.
Chi Cheng’s chin turned to his side and asked him to come and sit.
Tao Xiaodong didn’t care about the dirty pants anymore and sat on the quilt of Chi Cheng’s bed.
“Later on, the two brothers, one left and the other fell ill. It’s all because of me. It’s my fault.”
Tao Huainan was already crying over there, Tao Xiaodong leaned over and patted his leg, then said, “Let’s today Bring things back, you can’t really not enter the same house for a lifetime, can you? Who is right and who is wrong? When a fight starts, everything is pulled down, and the bad breath is released.”
Tao Xiaodong stood up, stood there and looked at the two grown-up but still very young younger brothers, and said, “Brother forty There are too many, I can’t keep in touch if I don’t cross the line between the two of you, then when I get old? Wait for me…”
Tao Huainan interrupted him, raised his head and frowned, not letting him go on.
Tao Xiaodong then smiled: “Come on, I’m back.”
After saying that, it really comes back. The small ones are not enough to make the old ones. Tao Xiaodong came in a few words and caught a lot of emotions in people’s hearts. After catching up, he left, leaving behind a sentence “It’s all thanks to my brother today”, putting the most acute crux on himself.
Tao Huainan’s nose and eyes were still red, so he took out a piece of paper to wipe his snot, then folded the snot paper and put it on the bedside table.
After putting it down, he hesitated and called “little brother”.
Chi Cheng was silent, waiting for him to speak.
Brother said so much, it is impossible for Tao Huainan to remain silent, but now Chi Cheng is really unfamiliar to him. They used to be as close as another selves in this world, but what happened and was missing in the middle eventually made this intimacy disappear.
“Brother is right, I was wrong.” Tao Huainan spoke after a while, he turned in Chi Cheng’s direction, speaking hard but seriously, “I don’t have the position to say this, this sentence is useless, my brain can’t work. , I don’t understand a lot of things.”
After Chi Cheng sent his brother off, he stood by the bed and didn’t sit down. Now he was standing next to Tao Huainan and looked down at him. Tao Huainan raised his face and said to him, “I’m stupid and stubborn, you…don’t forgive me. Little brother, I just hope…” The
door was knocked again, interrupting Tao Huainan’s words.
Chi Cheng didn’t open the door, but just stood there and looked at him.
Tao Huainan then finished the sentence with the knock on the door: “I hope you don’t have a bad life because you hate me, I hope you have many friends, a good life… and a lover. Brother has never put you down, he You have two younger brothers, and he loves you very much.”
The next words were not finished, the knocking on the door was too loud, and it really seems out of place to say these now.
Tao Huainan went down to the ground and opened the door with bare feet. It was Fan Guo and Brother Guo at the door.
“What are you two doing, you haven’t opened the door,” Fanguo shouted at the door, “Brother Chi, why don’t you answer the phone, the boss is looking for you like crazy, half the talk you are gone, the boss is still waiting you!”
Chi Cheng was still standing just now, with his back to them. Tao Huainan stood silently by the wall, listening to Fanguo’s always full of energy, and did not go back to his bed.
They were really busy. Brother Guo came with a computer, he put it up on the table and said, “Brother Chi, come and see.”
“What are you doing?” Fan Guo came over to see Chi Cheng, “What are you doing, bro!”
Chi Cheng turned around and glanced at Tao Huainan first. Tao Huainan put his hands behind his back, against the wall, trying not to take up space and making room for them.
“Go to your house.” Chi Cheng raised his chin, not sure if it was an illusion, but hearing his voice felt a little heavy.
“Oh, oh, little brother is going to bed?” Fan Guo looked at Tao Huainan, who was wearing pajamas, then looked at Chi Cheng, and said with a smile, “Hahaha, little brother is really gentle, so good! Yes! The kind of boy who doesn’t like to talk, but he feels warm.” The
topic suddenly fell on him, Tao Huainan didn’t respond too much: “I…”
The words after that were not finished, Fanguo seemed to like him very much, and stood still. Talk to Tao Huainan in front of him.
Chi Cheng had already left with the computer in his hand, and he signaled to Guo Yiyang as he walked, “Let’s go.”
Guo Yiyang took Fanguo’s collar and walked away, and greeted Tao Huainan, “Have a rest early, Huainan.”
Tao Huainan took the lead He smiled and said “good night”.
