Aubrey Gibbon (eBook)

No, I came here after eating and I’m not too hungry.

Cheng Yan gave it to him because he was afraid it would be poisonous.

"Father, I have a project at hand and I want to ask your opinion," Cheng Yan said slowly while peeling the banana.

Hey, Cheng Hongliang raised his hand to interrupt him. We don’t talk about this at family gatherings.

Leran, did anything interesting happen at school?

Cheng Leran took a bite of the orange and replied: What interesting things can happen in high school.

Isn’t it just exams, papers, and internal papers?

Jiang Manni put on the mask and said sternly: What are you complaining about? Your eldest brother ranked first in his second grade in high school, and your third brother won a lot of competition medals when he was your age. Look at you, you can't even get the first place in the monthly exam.

Cheng Leran was not shocked at all and said indifferently: "I know, I know, eldest brother Niu, third brother Niu"

Why? He didn't know what he thought of, so he got up and asked curiously, where is the second brother? What was it like when the second brother was in high school?

Jiang Manni snorted, and just as she was about to speak, Cheng Xiao took over the topic.

High school is so interesting, why don’t you even fall in love?

Cheng Leran turned to look at Cheng Xiao, and sighed depressedly: Oh, yes, the second brother is good-looking, and he has no shortage of men, er, girlfriends. I'm missing

Cheng Leran! Jiang Manni yelled, "Don't think about anything for me!"

Oh, don't yell, don't yell. He jumped up and hid behind Chenghong's body.

Cheng Hongliang smiled lovingly, and Cheng Xiao looked over from a distance, showing a warm scene of father and son filial piety.

Cheng Xiao knew that whenever this happened, Cheng Leran would not be willing to let him just be a spectator.

Cheng Leran held Cheng Hongliang's shoulder, looked at Cheng Xiao curiously, and said: Second brother, you like talking about friends so much, why did you choose to marry your sister-in-law?

Cheng Xiao laughed secretly.

as expected.

Leran! Don't talk nonsense! Cheng Hao stopped him with a dark face.

Cheng Leran said aggrievedly: What nonsense are you talking about?

Cheng Hongliang frowned: What's going on? What sister-in-law? He looked at Cheng Leran with sharp eyes. Leran, where did you hear this?

Cheng Leran said aggrievedly: The girls in our class like surfing, and they are all talking about the second brother's marriage.

marry? ! Cheng Hongliang was surprised.

Xiaoxiao, what is going on! Jiang Manni exclaimed, why didn't you tell your parents when you got married? This, this is such a big thing

Which girl is she from?

Cheng Xiao stood up and patted his wrinkled suit pants.

Some girl, a guy, an actor.

Cheng Xiao! Stop saying a few words! Cheng Hao scolded loudly.

male? male! Cheng Xiao, if you marry a man and go home, are you going to embarrass my face and your family's face? ! Cheng Hongliang gasped for air, and Cheng Leran quickly came around and patted Cheng Hongliang's chest.

I thought dad already knew? what happened? Second brother, please speak quickly!

Cheng Yan also stood up and walked to Cheng Hong's body: Second brother, you are not doing this right.

Shut up! Jiang Manni scolded in a sharp voice, "Ah Hao, get your dad a glass of water."

Xiaoxiao, don't stay here anymore. Your dad is emotionally unstable right now. I'll advise him.

Your grandmother is resting upstairs. You go and see her first, and then come down and tell your dad what's going on with you. It's outrageous!

Cheng Xiao raised both hands in a gesture of surrender: OK. Come up and call me in a moment.

Cheng Xiao slowly climbed the stairs.

At the top of the stairs on the second floor was Fang Shuting's bedroom. Cheng Xiao went straight to the innermost room without even looking at it.

The doorknob was gathering dust, and when I opened the door, there was a distinct noise.

Cheng Xiao looked inside and saw that all the furnishings in the room had not changed and were still the same as when he came back a few years ago.

The quilt was damp and the smell in the room was not good. Cheng Xiao stood there for a while and walked towards the window.

Opening the small door on the window, Cheng Xiao poked the furry butt. The kitten changed its direction and walked in slowly.

Cheng Xiao ignored it, walked straight to the bed, and sat down.

The cat followed his steps and stopped at his feet, playing with its tail.

Cheng Xiao stared at the peeling ceiling for a long time, then raised his foot and touched the skinny cat's belly.

Hey, a beggar.

When do you think they will let you go?

He stood up from the bed, squatted down, and stroked the cat's back.

How to get what they want

Will I let you go?

Beggar: Cheng Hao! Cheng Leran! Cheng Yan! Great success! Nothing good!

Seiji: That’s right!

Beggar: That’s right! You are not a good person to give a cat such a bad name!

into two:

Me: Forgive him, his childhood was not a happy one.

Beggar: So does the cat kicking like this have any effect on me? !

ps: It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand this chapter, the next chapter will be about becoming the second child in misery

Chapter 17 He has old memories like smoke

Before coming, Cheng Xiao remembered Cheng Hao asking him this on the phone.

Don’t think of yourself as family.

What was his answer then?

no.

No.

He hates this surname just as he hates Cheng Hongliang and every corner of this house.

He remembered the day when Cheng Hongliang took him back to his ancestral home. He looked at the large garden he had never seen before, the various toys he had never owned, and even the beautifully decorated small house, and felt a sparrow in his heart. The thrill of becoming a phoenix.

They are just children. They think that the things placed in front of them and the things given into their hands are their own. Little did they know that sweet candies will cause tooth decay when eaten, and good things will not fall on your head like a pie. They all want it. Pay the price.

Even if it's something in your hand, if someone wants you to throw it away, then you have to clap your hands and throw it as far away as possible.

What some people take half a lifetime to understand, it took Cheng Xiao, a teenager, only one year to understand it thoroughly.

Distorted facts, inevitable frame-ups, gossips, beatings and abuses

They involuntarily reshape a child's understanding of the world and home.

Lying on the bed, Cheng Xiao stroked the deep carvings on the colorful wall and exhaled. He took out the car keys from his pocket and carefully added a touch behind the neatly arranged vertical passages.

In the 10th year of starting a family.

This is still the prison that looks like gold on the outside but rotten on the inside.

The door handle was pressed, and light poured into the house from outside, injecting some life into the house.

The person who opened the door looked inside the house and didn't take another step inside for a long time.

By the window inside the house, the old man was smacking his lips and smiling stupidly at the curtained window.

The blanket covering her legs had slipped off, but no one picked it up for her.

Cheng Xiao said nothing, slowly walked over, picked up the blanket, bent down beside the old man, and put it back on the old man's legs.

If you can't pick it up, you can ask someone for help.

Cheng Xiao closed his eyes and lowered his head, arranging the heavy blanket.

Ah, who are you?

Most of the old man's teeth have been lost, and his speech is no longer clear and fluent.

Cheng Xiao didn't reply, straightened the blanket, stood up, walked around behind the wheelchair, pushed the old man away from the window, and placed him next to the bed.

He raised his hand and opened the curtain.

As the light came in, the furnishings in the house became much clearer. The house was simple and not luxurious. It was even simpler than Cheng Xiao's room. It didn't look like the owner's bedroom, but more like a decent guest room.

Cheng Xiao finished drawing the curtains and opened the window, letting the cold wind hit his face.

The old man also felt the cold air, shivered, and looked in the direction of Cheng Xiao.

who are you? It's too cold, so close the windows.

The wrinkled face showed a child-like expression, and Cheng Xiao knew that her condition had worsened again.

Cheng Xiao stared at the old man for a long time, then raised his hand and closed the window.

You are not in good health and cannot stay in the room all the time. Please go out to get some fresh air in the future.

You look strange. Who do you look like?

The old man looked confused. She leaned forward and Song Hui's eyelids narrowed even more, as if she wanted to see Cheng Xiao clearly.

Cheng Xiao didn't pay attention to her actions. He walked towards the bedside and tidied up the somewhat messy furnishings in the old man's room.

The entire family house is neat and clean. Cheng Xiao's room is an exception, and Fang Shuting's is the second one.

There were some medicines that she had not taken lying on the bedside. It looked like they had been there for a while. She didn't know when the nanny last came in...
