Chapter 19

When autumn in Beiping was getting stronger, Lin Zhanyu and his brother Wei set foot on the road back to Nanjing.

In just two or three months, he and the young man surnamed Zhang have become friends who talk about almost everything.In the countless moments when both of them had spare time, Lin Zhanyu told brother Zhang about the local conditions and customs of Nanjing. In return, the latter took Lin Zhanyu around almost the entire city of Beijing and taught him a lot of Peking dialect.

Wei Qingyun was happy to hear about this: Most of the time at home, this child stayed with people like them except for work. Now that he finally met someone of the same age, he must get along more comfortably and happily in the future.

On the morning of departure, Brother Zhang deliberately took them all the way from the hotel to the train station.Before getting on the train, Wei Qingyun turned around and shouted at the young boy with a smile, "Go back quickly."

"Hey!" Brother Zhang responded, but did not leave immediately.After a while, he found the place where Lin Zhanyu was sitting, knocked on the window, and waved to him through the glass: "Remember to write to me!"

"Okay!" Lin Zhanyu responded with a smile.

The train moved quickly, and the handsome figure of the young man faded away with the noisy rumbling.

Wei Qingyun smiled and pushed Lin Zhanyu's shoulder back: "Don't look, there is no feast that never ends, and we will see each other for thousands of miles, and there will be a farewell."

Hearing this, Lin Zhanyu was a little unhappy.He thought: Why is the world always full of parting?

He turned around and sat down in his seat, quietly recalling the people he had bid farewell to since he could remember: his mother, Lin Xiucai, the old village head, and Xue, the elder brother who no longer sees each other every day because he married and moved out. congratulations.

The faces and figures of these people are somewhat clear, and some have been blurred in his mind, but what is consistent is that when recalling the time with them, whether it is resentment or nostalgia, Lin Zhanyu feels as if it was yesterday.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Wei Qingyun knew that he was unhappy because he was saying goodbye to his friends, so he comforted him and said: "Okay, it's not like I won't be able to see him in the future, it will be a long time in the future."

Lin Zhanyu raised his eyes to look at him, and said in his heart: It is true that the future will last forever.

But after thinking about it, so what if there are more days to come?He has already boarded the train going south, and in the future, he will either write a few letters every year, or go to each other's residence for a few days every once in a while, no matter what, he will never have a life like these two months.

Dreams fail to become lights and embers, and the eyes are desolate and boring.

Lin Zhanyu sighed, and as the scenery outside the window continued to pass by, the depression in his heart gradually faded away.

That boy in Beiping City will have his own brilliant life. They met when they were young, and they have been friends for a while because of similar interests. For him, it is already complete.

"Zhanyu," Wei Qingyun glanced at his pocket watch after a long time: "You have been looking outside for more than an hour. They are all wheat fields and crops, what's there to see?"

Brother Wei's words brought back Lin Zhanyu's thoughts.The young man turned his head to look at his senior brother, feeling a little dazed.

A thought rose in his mind: will this person and I drift away one day?

Counting his age, Wei Qingjun is already twenty-four years old this year. At his age, others already have children around their knees. I think this day is not far away.

Lin Zhanyu couldn't help but imagine that in the near future, his senior brother Wei would marry a woman who was in love with him like senior brother Xue He did, and move out of Qiao's yard to set up his own family.

At that time, Wei Qingyun's life would have nothing to do with him. They supported each other when they were out of work, and went back to their respective homes after they left.

His elder brother would worry about the lives of his wife and children, and would work hard for their children's future, but when he walked to the backyard, he lost the reading lamp that made him feel at ease.

"It doesn't look good." Lin Zhanyu responded casually, without thinking too much, instinctively hugged Wei Qingjun who was beside him tightly, and leaned his head on the other's shoulder.

"Okay." Wei Qingyun thought that Lin Zhanyu was still sad about parting from Brother Zhang, so he reached out and rubbed the boy's hair.

However, Lin Zhanyu had other thoughts in his mind at this time.The young man has just started to face the boundless life, tasted the taste of parting from birth for the first time, and felt sad and melancholy in his heart.

Recalling the heart-wrenching pain that Lin Xiucai's death brought him back then, the young man suddenly discovered that the death of a loved one is hard to bear, but the feeling of separation is not much better.

From now on, even though the mountains are far away, the waters are vast, and the world is vast, we have to go each side.Spring blossoms and autumn frost, summer lotus and winter snow, the beauty of the world can only be appreciated by oneself after all.Even when they meet each other, maybe they don't know what to say except greetings and business.

In this way, apart from the comfort of self-deception in the heart, what is the difference between the separation of the world and the separation of life and death for individuals?

However, these confused thoughts are not for the sake of making other friends, but because of the tenderness in front of me.

At this moment, Lin Zhanyu can finally be sure that Wei Qingyun occupies a very special place in his heart, unlike other senior brothers and his like-minded friend Zhang Xiaoge.

He was so confused that he couldn't figure out why, but there was one thought that became more and more determined: he wanted to live with Wei Qingyun forever, he wanted to be close to this person like a blood-related relative for a lifetime.

It's not all because Senior Brother Wei is so good, on the contrary, this person actually has many problems in private.

He likes to smoke very much, and he chokes Lin Zhanyu to death every time; he is also very powerful, far from the dog-like person he looks on the outside, and is almost bossy in many cases.

Because of these, Lin Zhanyu would occasionally get into trouble with him.

But the boy felt that he was not coveting the other party's good.Whether it is a person or an artist, Wei Qingyun has always been in a position that he looks up to. This is his guide and his light.

He simply doesn't want to lose, let alone parting, that's all.

Lin Zhanyu took a deep breath and let it out slowly, hugging Senior Brother Wei even tighter.

Wei Qingyun didn't know the twists and turns in the young man's heart, but thought he was sad, so he hugged him and comforted him in a futile way: "It's a good thing to make more friends of the same age. When you return to Nanjing, you should go out more. Let's go, don't stay bored in the house all the time."

The young man let out a "hmm", but thought in his heart: Brother Shi, I don't want to go out, you are enough in my world.

After a few days of tossing and turning, they arrived home, only to see that boss Qiao was more cheerful than ever.

The middle-aged man stood at the door and chatted with his neighbors. From Lin Zhanyu seeing him to calling him to say hello to him, his smile did not diminish at all.

"I'm back." Qiao said with a smile, taking the luggage in their hands, and beckoning them into the house.

"You brat Qiao Li, why didn't you come to greet us?" Wei Qingyun looked into the yard: "Is he at home?"

"Not here." Qiao said with a smile and led them inside: "I want to tell you a good thing, this kid's marriage is settled."

"Really?" Wei Qingyun felt pleasantly surprised: "Which girl is it?"

"It's from an old neighbor." Boss Qiao said with a smile, "I watched that girl grow up, so I know everything about it."

He put the emphasis on the last four words, Lin Zhanyu and Senior Brother Wei looked at each other and understood what Master meant.

Wei Qingyun nodded: "Great. Congratulations, master, congratulations, junior."

"Hey, don't say these useless polite words." Boss Qiao looked at him with a smile: "Qingyun, your junior brother is one year younger than you. When can you bring a girl back?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhanyu's face suddenly changed.He was drinking tea from a white porcelain cup, but when his hand softened, the cup fell onto the wooden table, and all the unfinished tea spilled out.

"What's the matter?" Joe smiled and frowned slightly.

"Master, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now." Lin Zhanyu hurriedly got up and took a rag to wipe the table clean.

Qiao laughed and said that he didn't care about him, and continued to ask Wei Qingyun: "Is there anyone you like? Just say it generously, and Master will be a matchmaker for you."

"I'm not in a hurry." Wei Qingyun smiled: "Master, you should arrange the marriage of Junior Brother Xiao Qiao first."

Qiao Li's marriage was scheduled years ago.Qiao said with a smile that he had found the auspicious day early, and then counted the days day by day.

Lin Zhanyu and Xiao Qiao changed places: Qiao Li decided to stay here after getting married, and the boy's room is spacious, which is the most suitable.

The wedding is approaching, Wei Qingyun helps out, and sometimes the teenagers will go to make a start.

The difference from Xue He's marriage last time was that the young man didn't have any feelings at that time, but now his mind has become complicated.Sometimes he doesn't even want to see those bright red wedding dresses, he finds them glaring and shocking.

Qiao Li and Wei Qingyun were too busy to notice the boy's abnormal worries.Until one day at noon, Qiao Li opened the door and went into her bedroom to rest for a while, but found that Lin Zhanyu was sitting inside waiting for him.

"Zhanyu?" Qiao Li was very surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Brother Xiao Qiao, let me ask you something." The young man cut to the chase: "You are going to get married soon, isn't Senior Brother Wei coming soon?"

"I haven't heard him mention it, but it probably won't be a few years." Qiao Li sat on the stool next to the young man, and joked with a smile: "The male college should be married and the female college should be married. Isn't Wei Qingyun an exception? I pour a glass of water."

"But," Lin Zhanyu handed the glass full of water to him, sighed softly, "I don't really want him to marry a wife."

"Zhanyu, why are you so incapable of settling accounts?" Qiao Li laughed loudly when she heard the words, and patted Lin Zhanyu's head: "You can tell your conscience, how does sister-in-law Xue treat you?"

"It's pretty good." Lin Zhanyu recalled carefully: "She cooks delicious food. Although we don't see each other often, when Brother Wei and I are working, if she occasionally has free time, she will prepare meals for us in advance so that we Take it with you when you go out. She is also very interesting in singing, she sounds very nice, much better than the elder brother."

"That's all." In order to tease him, Qiao Li pretended to be puzzled: "Zhan Yu, you have to trust your brother Wei's vision. When you and he marry a wife, you will have another good sister-in-law. One more person to love You protect you, why are you not happy?"

Lin Zhanyu shook his head: "It's enough for me to have my brother's pain."

Qiao Li laughed even more happily: "You are hurt by senior brother, but what will you do with senior brother Wei? Who loves him?"

"I love him." Lin Zhanyu continued, "I treat him well and don't need a sister-in-law."

Qiao Li just took it as a juvenile joke, after all, the person in front of him is not yet seventeen.

He didn't take it seriously, and then joked: "You love him now, but can you love him for the rest of your life? When you grow up and marry a wife in the future, your senior brother will be thrown out of the sky by you."

"Why not?" Lin Zhanyu was unhappy, and said a few words loudly: "I don't want to marry a wife, I just want to love him for the rest of my life."

"It's a lifetime, what do children know?" Qiao Li said with a smile: "Okay, go and rest."
