leisure time

Li Zhijian mainly came back to apply for a new ID card and went home to have a look. After a day's rest, he asked his eldest brother and sister-in-law for Li Yin to accompany him.

"Little Tiger, what car do you take to go to the county?" Li Zhijian took out the things he would use later.

"Casual!"

The casual Li Yin saw that the buses were coming, the man was still fiddling with the things in his hands, and raised his hand to stop the approaching cars.

The man followed Li Yin to the bus with a smile, and paid the fare with a smile, "Call me when you get there." Li Zhijian felt motion sick, so he put on his earphones and closed his eyes at ease.

Following behind her dear nephew, Li Zhijian remained calm.

The little tiger was silent and peaceful along the way, and things went smoothly, but it would be even better if the child could have a good face.

"Hey, sit in!" Li Yin shouted impatiently. Of course, such a rough attitude would not be against Li Zhijian.

Standing behind Li Yin, Li Zhijian looked at Li Yinhou's man with a sluggish temperament, with covered hair, old-style striped clothes, slovenly, gloomy, and lifeless, a character that made people want to avoid him.

I can't help but think of the little tiger's appearance yesterday, and look at the uneducated bastard now, um, it's still alive.

The man's movements were particularly slow. He moved to the window, his eyes were empty, and he looked very depressed.

The little tiger sat down on the vacated seat, moved his butt uncomfortably, turned his head away from Li Zhijian who was standing beside him, and then turned his head with a bored expression and growled: "Isn't there still room in the back!"

Li Zhijian smiled, and thoughtfully walked to the back and sat down.

Feeling being pulled, Li Zhijian opened her eyes.

Li Yin shouted loudly, "It's almost there, get out of the car!"

Li Zhijian was slightly stunned, only to see the young man kicking the seat beside him and looking at the gloomy man.

It turned out to be all the way!When Li Yin got out of the car, he immediately dragged Li Zhijian over and left, leaving the man behind.

"You know him?" Li Zhijian asked curiously.

Seeing that Li Yin didn't answer, Li Zhijian had no choice but to shut up.

After a while, Li Yin said sullenly, "This is his son."

Seeing Li Yin taking the initiative to speak, Li Zhijian was very relieved.But these words reminded Li Zhijian of the discussion she heard yesterday, and her heart sank.

Li Zhijian couldn't help sighing in a low voice: "It's too pitiful."

"What's so pitiful! What does it have to do with you!" You turn a blind eye to anyone who has anything to do with it!

Looking at the young man who suddenly yelled at him, Li Zhijian never thought that Li Yin's reaction was so strong that the corners of his eyes were red.The eyes that had been hidden behind the long hair all day were dark and bright, full of anger and injury.

Li Zhijian paused, raised his head and stroked the boy's messy hair, but failed.Li Yin turned his head and walked ahead.

Li Zhijian was not good at dealing with this sudden situation, and she didn't know how to open her mouth, so she had to follow silently. The young man had gone a long way.

At the door of the house, Li Zhijian stopped.

"Where's your uncle! Li Yin, you little bastard, someday you smashed the door, I don't see how you can be repaired properly! After today, go out to work for me quickly, don't embarrass yourself at home."

As soon as the sharp curses fell, there was another loud slam of the door, in this direction... this little guy must have entered the wrong room.

Li Zhijian paused for a while, then walked in, "Sister-in-law"

"Uncle, how is it going? Is everything going well?" Wei Xianghong put down the work in his hand and came up to him with a smile.

"Well, it's all done."

"Oh, it would be great if Yuli was older, and I can go with you." Wei Xianghong seemed to sigh.

Li Zhijian smiled and asked, "Are Yuli and Jiejie at home? I bought some food."

"I've gone out to play, and you too. It's too polite to eat so much food at home!" Wei Xianghong took the bag.

"Someone is shopping, sister-in-law." Li Zhijian kindly reminded her when there was a shout of shopping coming from outside.

"Alas, here we come!" Wei Xianghong shouted loudly outside, but she still turned her head and said with a smile: "Young uncle can sit at home casually, you are welcome."

You're welcome... Heh.

Li Zhijian knocked on the door of her room, but there was no movement inside.

Reluctantly, he picked up the key that he had carried with him for more than ten years, and opened the door.I saw Li Yin standing in the room, facing the bookshelf, his eyes were red and swollen, and he shed a lot of tears.

Li Zhijian couldn't help laughing, and Li Yin yelled angrily, "What's so funny!"

"No." Li Zhijian still couldn't help smiling, "I mean why don't you sit down, what are you doing squatting on the ground? Are you not tired after walking for a day?"

Li Yin rushed in angrily, and after closing the door, he realized that this room was not his own. He had guarded it for so many years and kept it as it was. The only room he lived in. Its owner came back and squatted on the ground, angry and sad ... This leg was indeed a little tired. Li Yin stood up, and seemed to have a little hesitation and struggle before slowly sitting on the edge of the bed.

Li Zhijian sat next to Li Yin, and finally touched the tiger's head. It was soft and soft, and it felt good.

"When I was young, you often slept here with me."

The young man kept silent, but Li Zhijian couldn't help recalling the past, "I'm only nine years older than you. When you were young, I brought you up with shit and pee. You were so cute back then. You loved to laugh, and even loved Crying, clinging to your grandma and me, I am most afraid of your grandpa."

The boy silently turned his head slightly.

Li Zhijian lay on the bed, folded her hands behind her head, closed her eyes and said, "It seems that my uncle and I haven't slept together since we went to college. After all, we haven't seen each other for 6 years."

The boy turned his head and looked quietly at this strange yet familiar uncle.He only remembered that when he was in primary school, he went to school with his father in other places. Later, he and his father went to the woman's house to stay, and then came back here.Grandpa and grandma, heh, Li Yin couldn't help but think of the old faces of the woman's parents.

Although he doesn't have a special record, he is clear about his life experience. He even drew a life trajectory chart with great interest, thanks to the gossip that can be easily heard while lying on the hammock.

His father had a child with his high school girlfriend out of wedlock after graduating from high school and had him. The girl didn't ask for any compensation, so she left the child to his father, patted his butt and went abroad to study in style.Then, when his father went out to work, he threw it to his grandparents, and kissed his grandparents. Speaking of which, this should be his happiest day. I can’t remember how many, but in that big stack of photo albums, kind Grandma, serious grandpa, myself with various expressions and a bright boy.

Then when he was 6 years old, he went out to study with his father, and returned to his hometown for a few days during the Chinese New Year; when he was 9 years old, his grandparents had a car accident, and his father took him into a woman’s house, and he did not return home for three years; 12 years old At that time, the whole family returned to their hometown. The women said that it was because the woman wanted to come back to occupy the fields and houses.

And Li Zhijian tried hard to think back to Li Yin 6 years ago. It was the funeral of his parents. Turn around and disappear.

After spending three Spring Festivals alone, and then going abroad for three years, this child has never appeared in my life, because I have forgotten him.Over the years, my heart has been empty, with no direction, no support, and no home. The kite-flying person has already left, and the freedom of my own kite-flying has no weight, and I deliberately avoid things about family affection.

I still remember the days when I was fighting for favor with the little tiger when I was young. I took the little tiger up the mountain and down the river, and when I got home, I was scolded by my father, and my mother came to coax me...

"Jian Jian, Tiger Cub has no mother. Your brother has found another woman, and now he has given birth to Yuli. He is so focused on getting married, that your father can't stop him. Now his husband and wife are good, and they want to take Tiger Cub Going to study abroad, the conditions there are good, but people’s hearts are unpredictable, and you don’t know what will happen in the future. After you go to university, your parents don’t want anything else, you must help take care of the tiger cub.”

This is what his mother said to herself in tears the night his father sent Li Yin away.

A young man with hollow eyes and a numb expression appeared on the screen, sitting on a bus, dressed in sloppy clothes, with a gloomy demeanor, this is... I saw that man looked up, he was thin and dark, with red and swollen eyes... Li Yin? !

I saw the thin child stretching out his withered hands, uncle...

Li Zhijian opened his eyes suddenly, still in shock. The boy in the dream was sitting beside him, looking at him with doubts and scrutiny. Seeing him open his eyes, he quickly retracted his gaze.

Seeing the young man's hands showing his sleeves, hehe, it's pretty normal, just a little thin.

At this time, the boy was holding a book in his hand, which was the textbook for the psychological counselor exam back then. The chapter he turned to was about depression.

The young Ren Li Zhijian took the book and watched the young man's reaction, his eyes showing cautious temptation.

Li Zhijian had a normal expression and closed the book casually, "Your graduation certificate, I saw it in the living room just after entering the door. Is today the day to receive your graduation certificate?"

Seeing the boy's silence, Li Zhijian smiled and said, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to your classmates?"

"casual."

"I heard that you didn't take the senior high school entrance examination, don't you stop studying?"

The young man smiled sarcastically, "Do I have any books to read?" A look of resignation appeared on his face, and he said, "I agreed with Fatty to work part-time."

"But I heard from Xiaopang's grandma that Xiaopang goes to the technical school in the city."

Astonishment, betrayal of anger, bewilderment and vague envy appeared on the young man's face, "Damn!" He cursed in a low voice.

Get up as you speak,

"Where are you going?" The boy didn't answer.

"Looking for Xiaopang? I don't know Xiaopang, Xiaopang's parents will definitely not agree to let him go to work with you."

The boy still bowed his head and did not answer, nor did he move.

"You are not yet an adult, your family will worry about you, besides..." Li Zhijian paused, "What did you say?" He seemed to hear Li Yin muttering something.

The boy turned around, and there was that ferocious and injured roar again: "It's his family, not me! I don't have a mother!"

"Yes, but you have..."

"I don't have a father either!" The boy interrupted Li Zhijian loudly.

"You still have a little uncle..." Li Zhijian looked at the boy who was standing stiffly by the bed. His figure was not much bigger than when he was 9 years old, and he had a lot of bones.

The young man didn't say a word, he looked at Li Zhijian with both eyes, tears kept streaming down his face, his heart ached after seeing Li Zhijian, just like when he was a child.

Li Zhijian stretched out his hand, and the boy didn't rush at him like he did when he was a child, so Li Zhijian had no choice but to take a step forward and pat the boy on the head.

Opening the door, he raised his legs to go out but was pulled by the corner of his clothes by the young man. "Uncle" Li Zhijian finally heard the long-lost address, and he was no longer soft and soft, "Can you take me away?"

"Ah."

Li Zhijian went out and closed the door thoughtfully. The kid might need to calm down.

Li Yin really needs peace, not without hope, hoping that one day someone will take him away from this home.When he was beaten and scolded by his so-called parents in public at school, when he was punished innocently, and the pain was unbearable, when that woman's family looked down upon him, and when his two younger siblings were favored by everyone.

That person may be grandparents, but grandparents disappeared later; maybe it was a mother who heard that she was very rich, but she never expected to come; or maybe it was an aunt who had met several times, but she still left; Maybe... I became desperate later, and I depended on myself after all.I just didn't take the high school entrance examination, I've already passed the compulsory education, I don't need to look at the faces of those two anymore, when I'm about to be free, the uncle who I can't remember is coming... It's too late, is it too late?Why would I try again and again, and still have such a hope?Unexpected, unexpected, the long-awaited redemption has really come, has it come?

Li Yin still has doubts, distrust, and too much disappointment in his heart. He has waited for too long, and when he has accepted his fate, he will be as helpless as Yu Pai's son.The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Li Yin closed his eyes and bit his lips hard.Anyway, I have the ability to be free, and if what he said is false, I can also leave independently!If it is true... Li Yin shook his head vigorously, and lay down on a brand new bed. This so-called "mom" bought it from the market for 50 yuan a few days ago. The quality is not bad, and it smells clean. The fresh fragrance...is it from my uncle...

Li Yin fell asleep exhausted physically and mentally.

At the dinner table, this was the first time that the family sat together for dinner in harmony.In addition to Li Zhijian who has been away from home for a long time, there is also Li Yin who never goes to the table.

Seeing Li Yin taking a seat behind Li Zhijian, Wei Xianghong was very reluctant.

"I still need to be called for dinner! My uncle wants to invite you as a "guest" instead!" Li Zhijian and Li Yin didn't like this sentence.

Li Yin opened his mouth and choked: "Have you ever called me when you eat? Also, this is my uncle! This is my uncle's house!"

Li Yin wanted to continue, but when Li Zhijian saw it, he shut up angrily, but his nose was still panting heavily.

"I found that you are getting more and more powerful these days! You don't need to study anymore, are you rebelling?..." If you have the ability, get out of here today and don't come back to eat my old lady's meal!Wei Xianghong was held back by Li Zhicheng, glanced at Li Zhijian, and could only stop, wait, this little bastard.

"Sit down and eat!" Li Zhicheng said, frowning in annoyance.

The surface is calm, but in reality it is turbulent.Li Zhijian saw that the sister-in-law was taking care of Yuli and Jiejie for dinner, and she babbled, it seemed that there was no rule of not talking at home, so she opened her mouth.

"Brother, sister-in-law, the matter is over, I plan to return to City C in two days."

"I'm on vacation now, don't you want to stay at home for a few more days?" Li Zhicheng frowned. He really hoped that this little brother who was ten years younger than him could stay at home for a while.

Wei Xianghong also responded in a pretentious way: "Yes, yes, stay for a few more days, Yuli and Jiejie don't want my uncle to leave, right?"

The two children, especially Yuli Dada's "Yes", nodded hurriedly.

Li Zhijian smiled at the two nieces and nephews.Seeing that Li Zhijian didn't say anything more, Li Yin stirred the rice in the bowl vigorously, and was about to throw the bowl and leave.After being pulled by Li Zhijian, she sat at the table unwillingly.

There are shoppers in the store from time to time, and they also need to be watched. Wei Xianghong finished eating early and went out to look at the store, and the children also finished eating and went to the table to play.Only Li Zhicheng was drinking, and Li Zhijian said, "Brother, I want to take Tiger Cub with me this time."

Finally came, Li Yin, who had been silent all this time, clenched his hands tightly, watching Wan bit his inner lip.

Li Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "Li Yin is too skinny, he will cause trouble for you"

Li Zhijian smiled and said to his eldest brother: "Brother, when my parents were here, I often asked me to help take care of the tiger cub. Now that the tiger cub graduated from junior high school and is still young, why don't you go to city C with me. Besides, you and your sister-in-law also have children now." Li and Jiejie need to take care of them."

Li Zhicheng looked at his younger brother, the child he had to carry back then had grown so big.Then he looked at the eldest son who was getting more and more arrogant beside him, at first he let go, and then he couldn't take care of it, so he calmed down and felt a lot of guilt when he thought about it.

This kid didn't take the high school entrance examination, and he wasn't old enough to work, so he didn't know what to do with him. Now it's really a good thing to follow Li Zhijian to a big city, but... it's a trouble after all.

"Let me discuss it with your sister-in-law." Li Zhicheng pondered.

"What are you discussing?" Wei Xianghong's sharp voice came harshly.After hearing Li Zhicheng's retelling, he was exaggerated and polite, and the conclusion was that the expenses were all ignored. In addition, he was "considerate" and expressed that he did not expect Li Yin to make money to go home.

Li Zhijian struggled to understand the meaning of these words, but she also smiled and settled the matter.

Tiredly pinching the center of his brows, he patted Li Yin's stiff back, "Go and pack your things, maybe we'll leave tomorrow night."

In that room, Wei Xianghong sarcastically said to Li Zhicheng: "Your younger brother is making a lot of money in city C now, right? Your son is going to the city!"

Li Zhicheng looked at his always domineering wife, and could only helplessly, "Didn't your cousin's factory also say that they dare not accept child labor?"

"Huh..." Wei Xianghong was originally trying to recruit a wife, although she went back to her husband's house to live, in order to appease her husband.The child also changed back to her husband's surname, but she is still the one who decides at home

"However, the education in city c is so good, Yuli and Jiejie will be educated in the future..." Wei Xianghong said with some calculations in mind.

"Don't think about it! It's because his parents asked him to help take care of the tiger cub! Besides, Zhijian wants to start a family!" Li Zhicheng glared at Wei Xianghong angrily, and took another sip of his wine.

"Yes, the tiger cub is your child, and we Yuli and Jiejie are not your parents' grandchildren!" Wei Xianghong said angrily, "Hmph, he can raise Li Yin if he wants to, and I never expect him to. Take care of me. But, don't even try to occupy this house and the family's land. I have been managing it for so many years!"

"This family is where my parents stayed. You let me marry you back then..." Li Zhicheng couldn't help but speak out.

"What marriage, Li Zhicheng! Isn't Yuli's surname Li? Anyway, if you give up the house and the field, you can go there with your tiger cub and younger brother!" Wei Xianghong fought back mercilessly, but in her heart There is one more thing, it seems that Li Zhijian's household registration must be taken away as soon as possible!

Wei Xianghong had a suite in City H. After her parents passed away, she rented out the house and returned to her hometown to live.Housing prices in the city are high, and the rent is 10,000+ a year. In the future, Yuli and Jiejie don't expect that city C!

At night, Wei Xianghong and his wife were arguing in the room, Li Zhijian didn't sleep well, and Li Yin was tossing and turning, both excited and suspicious.

Li Zhijian opened the window, lay on the hammock, and looked at the stars in the sky outside the window, just like the three Spring Festival nights when his parents passed away, and his brother also entered his sister-in-law's house and didn't come home. He also looked at the sky like this.At that time, it was cold and deserted, and the home was not like home, but at least it was still my own home. Now, it seems that home is not my own home...

At this time, ho!A black shadow appeared on the window, which really took Li Zhijian's thoughts away in an instant, and he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground when he stood up!

"Uncle." A hoarse voice resounded faintly in the empty night.

"It's you! Tiger Cub." Li Zhijian looked out of the window, under the moonlight, the night was not too dark, and the skinny boy lay on tiptoe on the window.

"What are you doing lying on the window? It's still outside in the middle of the night!" Li Zhijian laughed angrily.

"I can't sleep, I want to see if you are asleep." Li Yin took off the sharpness and rebellion of the day, and appeared much more docile.

Li Zhijian went out of the room, opened the side door and went around to the front yard. The boy was sitting on the steps looking at the sky.

"What? Do you have any plans for the future?" He sat down next to Li Yin.

"Uncle, do you have money?" Li Yin asked looking at the sky.

Stuck by this nonsensical question, Li Zhijian smiled and said, "There is no one hundred and eight million yuan, but there are still a dozen or two hundred thousand."

Li Yin turned to look at his always gentle uncle: "I want to study."

Li Zhijian looked at the thoughtful and docile young man who had taken off the barbs of the day with satisfaction, and involuntarily touched the young man's head, "Okay."
