This is what a friend told me about the matter between him and his brother, and I cried after listening to it.
They lived in a remote mountain village, their parents were farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, my brother was three years younger than me, and once I saw my little friend buy a beautiful head flower, and I also wanted to buy one, so I secretly took five cents from my father's drawer.
Father came home at night and found out, he asked who took it, see we did not make a sound, let us all kneel in the corner, he held a bamboo pole in his hand, I was afraid to bow my head and did not dare to speak, my father saw that we did not speak, he wanted to beat us together, then the brother suddenly said, it was I who took it has nothing to do with my sister, then the father took the bamboo pole to the back of the brother a hard beating, after the beating and then sat on the kang loudly reprimanded, you now know at a young age to steal the family's money, if you grow up, then you will have to pay back.
At night, my mother and I put our arms around my brother who was beaten and scarred, we didn't cry, in the middle of the night I couldn't sleep and suddenly cried, my brother covered my mouth with his little hand and said, sister, don't cry, I've been beaten don't let my father hear, if my father knew that you took it, it would be worse.
At that time, my father preferred sons to daughters, I did not hate him, my brother blocked the scene of that beating for me and often appeared in front of my eyes, that year my brother was 9 years old.
When my brother was 12 years old, he was admitted to the county's key high school, and I also received a notice from the university in the provincial city, and that night my father sat in the courtyard and smoked one bag after another, saying that the two children were so angry and studied so well, and my mother said, It is good to have a house, and I can't afford it!
At this time, the younger brother went out and said to his father, I don't want to go to school, I went out to work to earn money to let my sister go on, my father slapped the past, saying that you are not angry about what to say, I am smashing the pot and selling iron to provide you out, you just have to go to school well, my father will go out to find the villagers to borrow money!
I touched my brother's red and swollen face and said, you must go to school, because you are a boy who can only go to school well to get out of our ravine, my brother did not speak, in the morning my brother packed up his clothes and brought some dry steamed bread and secretly left, left me a note saying, sister, it is not easy for you to enter college, you go well, I went out to work to earn money for you to go to school, I held the note and cried loudly!
My brother was 17 and I was 20 years old, and I used money borrowed from my father and my brother to move cement at the construction site to earn money to read until my junior year.
One day my classmates in the dormitory told me that there were fellow villagers looking for me outside, and I wondered who would look for me? I went out far away to see my brother covered in dust, I ran over and said how do you say that I am my hometown, my brother said that I was dressed so dirty and afraid that your classmates laughed at you, I immediately hugged my brother to shoot him with dust and said, No matter what you dress like, no matter what you become, you are my brother, I am not afraid of other people's jokes.
At this time, my brother carefully took out a butterfly hairpin from his pocket and handed it to me, I saw many girls in the city with beautiful and bought you one, and I couldn't help holding my brother and crying anymore.
That year my brother was 20 years old, I was 23 years old, I took my boyfriend home, and I saw that the window glass that had been broken for many years was pressed, and the window was clean and clean everywhere.
After my boyfriend left, I asked my mother how did you clean the house so clean, and my mother said that your brother came back to clean it, and his hands were scratched when he installed the glass.
I hurried to my brother's room to see the wound on my brother's finger, I said give him some medicine, he said what this injury is, I was injured when I was working at the construction site, my feet were swollen and I couldn't wear shoes, I covered my mouth before I finished speaking, I turned my face and cried, and my eyes were wet when I saw here!
Sister affection, brother sensible, in the most bitter time to change the fate of the moment the younger brother chose to support the sister, this is what kind of mind, there are many people brothers and sisters for a little trivial discord and even fist and foot together, the sister is always a sister, the younger brother is always a brother, just like the family tree, if you are a branch, I am dry, and the mother is our root, I wish all the brothers and sisters deep affection, good people have a peaceful life!
