Yu Chenglong and Monroe walked and chatted for most of the afternoon. The sun was almost setting before they returned to the hotel, had a decent dinner and took a shower.
Yu Chenglong still thought about what Commander Yang said, but as soon as he saw Monroe, he would lose his mind, and his desire would devour his soul like a devil.
At this time, Yu Chenglong was like an innocent and immature child, dreaming and talking about some lingering words that only a fool could understand, and Monroe was almost the same as him.
After saying goodbye to Monroe the next day, Yu Chenglong went to the secret contact point to meet with several brothers, explained some things, and then went to Harbin himself. He was still worried about his younger brother who was studying alone.
According to the address provided by Monroe, Yu Chenglong found the residence of his younger brother Sanyang. When the younger brother came back from school, he saw his elder brother standing at the door waiting for him. He was suddenly surprised and happy. He ran forward to hug his elder brother affectionately and pulled him into the house.
"Why can you come to see me? Have you gone home to see your mother, sister, and sister-in-law?"
Sanyang asked his brother eagerly as soon as he entered the house. He was surprised and happy at his brother's arrival, with a bright smile on his face. He thought that if his brother came to see him, he must have gone back home first.
"I have arranged for my family to move and no longer live in Duanlonggang. I will visit them when I return from your place. I haven't been home for many years!"
When Yu Chenglong mentioned home, he felt very sad and felt that he should go home to see his mother. He raised his head and carefully looked at the hut where his brother lived, feeling even more shabby in his heart.
"Mom and sister-in-law miss you. Come back and take a look. I'm fine here!"
Sanyang put her brother on the bed and wanted to cook for him herself. Sanyang usually cooks and eats by himself when he comes here. He wants to spend his money sparingly. He knows that his family is not rich.
"I went home specifically this time. I must go back to see my mother. I will cook with you two, and we two brothers will chat while cooking.
I know everything about your family. Now let’s talk about your situation. How is it? How is school? Are you still used to living here? Have you ever been wronged in any way? "
The two brothers were chatting while cooking. Yu Chenglong asked his brother with concern about his experience of studying here. He thought that his brother might not be used to it yet, so he asked in detail.
To be honest, the tools for cooking here are very simple. There is only a small pot, not a lot of rice, and there are not even vegetables. However, my brother does not feel shabby. He only showed his dissatisfaction when he mentioned school.
“The school is not too pleasant. We have to sing the national anthem twice a day, first the Manchukuo national anthem, and then the Japanese national anthem. We have to bow to the south and bow to the east, saying we are saluting the emperors of the two countries. It’s so annoying!
The students were unwilling and would be beaten if they didn't do well. Some of the school courses I had never studied before, some of them I couldn’t understand at all, and I couldn’t speak Japanese at all.
I am currently in a preparatory class and will only be admitted to the formal class if I pass the exam. I want to change schools and go to a school run by the Chinese to learn our own Chinese language. "
When my younger brother mentioned school, he complained a little. It can be imagined that the younger brother is not suitable for the school's practices, but where can Manchukuo have its own pure education? Yu Chenglong had no choice but to persuade his younger brother.
"What we are learning is knowledge. Let the school do whatever it wants. We just don't care about it. We just have to know what we are. We will always know who we are and we won't learn bad things from them.
In addition, admission requires a guarantee. The same applies to other schools. You also need to learn Japanese. It is better to be patient and think about doing things for the people after acquiring knowledge. "
Yu Chenglong advised his younger brother that under the current situation, he could only do this. The younger brother didn't seem to have turned around, and he proposed to go home and have a look.
"Then let's do this for now. I'll go to a good school if I can find it later. However, I also want to go home with you and have a look, even if it's just to stay for two days and then come back."
"Are you homesick when you first arrived? That's not okay. You can just go to school here without worrying about home. Tomorrow I will go to the street to buy you some food, clothing, and supplies. Just keep going to school."
"I don't need anything now. Sister Monroe paid the rent and tuition for me. My mother also gave me some money before I left. It's enough."
"Don't come back at noon from now on. Eat at school. Make something for yourself in the evening and morning. Don't move to school. It's too messy there. You should pay attention to it at ordinary times.
You should study hard, make friends carefully, and don't care about politics first. The schools run by the Japanese have low fees and save money. Our family is not well off, so it would be nice to save some money.
When you are on vacation, I will come to take you home, because you still don’t know where our family will move to. Pay attention to safety at ordinary times, don't go to the streets all the time, go to bed early after cleaning up, and study at home during holidays. "
The two brothers chatted and said some thoughtful words, and soon the meal was ready. While eating, Yu Chenglong also discovered that his brother didn't have many bowls and chopsticks, and there wasn't much food to cook.
After the two brothers finished eating, Yu Chenglong took his younger brother out for a walk. After returning, the two brothers huddled on the same bed and chatted until very late.
"Are you leaving today?"
When he got up in the morning, his younger brother asked Yu Chenglong if he could stay a few more days, because he knew that his elder brother would not stay here for a long time, so he spoke with longing.
"I'm not leaving today. You go to school and take your keys with you. I'm not going out today either."
Yu Chenglong patted his younger brother on the shoulder and coaxed him out of the house. The small house that my brother rents is just a small wing, but the entrance and exit are through separate ways, not through the same door as the owner's house.
"I have two keys. I'll leave one for you. I'll be back at noon."
Yu Chenglong took the key and sent his brother away. Yu Chenglong went to the street to buy some daily necessities, as well as some coal and grain. He bought everything he could think of for his younger brother.
It was almost noon when I returned to my brother's place. Yu Chenglong eagerly left a letter to his brother, telling him some things and leaving some money.
At the same time, he put the food he bought on the table for his younger brother, then left the key and a letter, locked the door, and left his younger brother's residence with tears in his eyes.
Yu Chenglong did not go far, but hid in the distance and looked at his brother's residence. He wanted to see his brother again, knowing that his brother would definitely be very disappointed when he came back.
From a distance, I saw my younger brother running back happily, shouting "brother" and ran into the house. After a while, he ran out again, still holding the letter left by his brother in his hand, and ran outside the courtyard to look around.
His expression couldn't be seen clearly, but it could be seen from the way he moved back and forth that he was disappointed. It took him a long time to slowly return to the house, looking back from time to time.
Yu Chenglong couldn't help but shed tears. After saying goodbye and not knowing when they would see each other again, he really missed his brother, so he left Harbin with a sad heart, and immediately went to Jiangyuan County to see his mother.
