Although her words were tough, she was very grateful to her brother. Without her brother, what was she?
Who could possibly know Li Qin?
Such an old-fashioned name?
Or a girl from the countryside of Anhui?
Everything she had started was at the lowest level. It was only because of her brother's existence that she was able to turn the tables in her life!
"I know it's hard for him." Li Lan put down his chopsticks. "Mom always told me that dad has never been truly happy in his life. I don't know why he's not happy, but he's not happy, so he hopes that we'll be happy. But the happiness he thinks is not what makes me happy."
From the time he started to remember things, his father thought that he didn't know anything, so he often sighed, smoked, drank, and cried in front of him. Li Lan didn't understand.
When he slowly grew older, his father would laugh and laugh in front of him and become a carefree person.
Until now, his father had already become a feudal patriarch who didn't show his emotions on his face, which made him even more confused.
"Don't blame him. He's not from the same generation as us. He, seriously," Five swirled the red wine in his glass. "He cried and endured. Your grandmother didn't say anything, but your aunt told me secretly that he …"
Before he could finish his words, tears came out.
Ping Cuo looked at him blankly.
Li Lan was at a loss.
"I'm sorry to let you see such a joke." Five tried to hold it in, but the more he held it in, the more uncomfortable he felt, and the more tears came out.
"Auntie Li, I need to go to the bathroom." Ping Cuo realized that it was not appropriate to stay there any longer. "It's okay, Auntie. I'll go by myself."
After that, he hurried to the bathroom in the back.
"Look, I'm embarrassing myself while I'm drinking." Lao Wu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Nephew, don't mind me being long-winded. It's fine if your father is wronged by us, but if he is wronged by you two, I really don't know what he can do in this life."
"Aunt, what do you want to say?" Li Lan hurriedly handed her a tissue when she saw her aunt like this.
"Your grandfather doesn't look like a person now." She didn't take the tissue and let the tears flow down her face. "You've heard of his nickname. He's a loafer. He doesn't care about anything. Your grandmother has five children by herself. Your aunt is the eldest. She follows behind and does all the hard work."
Her beloved sister had severe frostbite scars on her hands.
"What about your father? He's very strong-willed. He wants to study and find a way out. He's more far-sighted than anyone else. Your grandma and auntie tried their best to raise money for his school fees and food for him …"
"I've heard about this from my mother." Seeing his aunt like this, Li Lan really felt bad. In his impression, his aunt was a happy-go-lucky person. He had never seen her cry before.
This was the first time he had seen her wiping away her tears and snot.
"There's more you don't know. Your father is 13 years older than me. I know he does everything for my own good, but I can't help but want to go against him in everything. One time, during the Spring Festival, your father and I were angry. I didn't eat for a whole day. Your aunt brought me food and coaxed me to eat." Five's crying became louder and louder.
"I smashed the bowl with a wave of my hand. At that time, your aunt cried." Five wiped her face and pointed at Li Lan. "Your aunt pointed at my nose like this. You little girl, why are you getting more and more ridiculous! Without your brother, you can still eat hot food! "
"Aunt …" Li Lan felt that she was lost in her emotions.
"Your father was studying in high school in the county. One year, it snowed heavily. Your grandma had no food at home. Your grandma missed me and your aunt, so she didn't give your father steamed buns.
Later on, your aunt was really worried about your father. She couldn't bear to see your father starving, so she borrowed two yuan and a few steamed buns from your Aunt Qiufen's house. She braved the snow and almost broke her bones to send them to your father.
Do you know how hungry your father was at that time?
He was lying on the bed in a tattered cotton mattress for three whole days. He was cold and hungry. No one asked him anything. When your aunt went to see him, he was already so hungry that his face was deformed. But he was so hungry. He didn't beg anyone, he didn't give in to anyone … "
She was sobbing uncontrollably.
"No one told me …"
At this moment, Li Lan's tears came out. He suppressed his voice and didn't make a sound.
"Your aunt said that she almost starved to death. Your father has been on the brink of death in everything he does in his life. Yes, I know, I'm not a good person, but I really begged him to leave me alone! " Five almost shouted. "The better he treated me, the worse I felt. I even wanted to die."
"Aunt, it's all my fault …" Li Lan wiped her tears. He didn't know if his aunt was angry at him for not being sensible.
"Do you know why I always quarrel with Fang Tangjin? It's true that I care about him, but he would look for your father whenever there's a small problem. Your father is already in a difficult situation, and I still need him to worry about me. I really don't want to see him frown anymore. I want to cry, and the more I want to cry, the more I want to beat him up. I want him to understand that he should live for himself. We are not worth his effort … "Five lit a cigarette." Your father's hair was already white when he was less than thirty years old … "
"Dad, it's still …"
Li Lan lowered his head.
"He's less than thirty years old …" Five ignored the looks of the guests next to him and finally burst into tears. "It's all over his head. I want to pull it out, but I don't know which one to pull …
Your mother has a bad temper, but think about it. Why can your mother stand your father? It's because your father has suffered enough in this life. No one has the heart to let him continue to suffer! "
"Aunt, don't say it …" The knife, with sharp edges, twisted his heart.
"I'll say this one last time. Maybe your father has given up on us brothers and sisters, but you are his son. He has to bear it no matter what. If you don't understand him, what's the point of his life?" She really didn't understand what her brother wanted for his life!
She could only feel sorry for her brother!
"Aunt, let's drink one more cup." Li Lan raised his cup. "I'll go home tomorrow."
"No, if you give in so quickly, you'll make him proud again. There are some things that you need to keep in mind and understand your father's difficulties in this life."
When Ping Cuo came, the aunt and niece had finished six bottles of sake, not counting the red wine.
Fang Jintang came to pick up Five.
Li Lan smiled at them and sneaked away.
He hid at the intersection and peeped at his aunt's anxious face. .
He sent a message: Aunt, I've arrived at school.
