I occasionally read his novels, mainly to see what kind of villain he has shaped me into. He always loves this, so that my wife and I are used to it. Anyway, in his novels, the image of his father is not high. Because our family relationship is extremely harmonious, my wife Hai Xia once echoed me: "Brother, if you write Li Bo like this again, we will lose our reputation! Even my dad's! " My father smiled too. Does he read my brother's novels? I think so, too, but he never said. At that time, my brother agreed, and it didn't seem to be forced at all-he couldn't force it, because he wanted to use me as his driver, which made me very unhappy and dumped him halfway! He agreed, and after half a year, he went home for the Spring Festival holiday. He told me seriously: "I wrote another novel, which was based on the story told by Hai Xia. It says that you are not a troublemaker. " "How did you write about me?" At that time, it was really full of expectations: is it easy? I finally have a positive image after so many years! However, his answer is: "In the novel, you are a fool." Alas. It seems that I really can't expect anything. Although I invested a lot in him.
When it comes to investment, you have to say it. I'm a businessman now! My first investment in him was when he was a teacher. I will quietly save money and give it to him when he comes back-it was not easy to save money then! My parents earn less, and I have no place to work when I go to school, so all my money is the money left over from my parents' asking me to buy breakfast, the money my father sells used books, and the money my grandfather occasionally gives me. I didn't spend all the money, but kept it for him. He was studying art in Cangzhou at that time. When I came back from graduation, I found that my investment had turned into his books and a box full of cassettes. The return of my first investment is: I also met Yu Guangzhong, Beidao, Shu Ting, Rilke and a lot of "sky"; I have also heard of Chyi Chin, Jonathan Lee, Cui Jian and the Tang Dynasty. The second investment was that I opened a bookstore, which was completely encouraged by him. At that time, he worked in the county armed forces department and didn't earn much money, but he spent a lot of money on books every year. I was really taken in by him! The list of books he wrote is simply poison. How can anyone in the county buy it? What is exasperating is that he also said that the way to wake up readers is to insist on quality and create a good reading environment ... This investment has made me suffer for several years, but fortunately, I slowly survived. My brother Li Hao is an art student. He has always liked calligraphy and painting. At home, he always likes to get together and chat with writers and painters in the city and county. I have no choice but to be his driver. After a while, I gradually fell in love with calligraphy and painting, and the third investment came again. Is this profitable? I don't know yet, so I believe him first. Besides, it's already a hobby of mine. Love spending money, don't care about gains and losses, he said.
We should talk more about him, shouldn't we? All right, tell me about him. In my eyes, my brother Li Hao is not a wise man. Instead, it looks stupid, mediocre and pedantic. He doesn't like turning around. Being beaten by his father, he hardened his neck and didn't know how to run. In primary school and middle school, he was neither the best one nor as good as me. For several years, he was only willing to work hard, and he did it three times when others did it three times. He is not good at expression either. He is a bit slow and always likes to say half a word ... Many family and friends talk about my brother and always say to listen to him. I really don't understand what he is trying to say. My father is a Chinese teacher, and he doesn't like my brother that much. It is very likely that my brother's image as a writer has also been greatly reduced by his father: at this point, he is still a writer? Sister-in-law said that one of his good friends, Gao Xiangdong, once came to our house, arrived at three o'clock and didn't leave until dark, but what were they doing? One is reading with a book, and no one cares about anyone. "If I were Brother Xiang, if you snubbed me like this, I would never come to you again." But Xiang He came anyway, and they are still good friends. Is this the so-called group of people? Poor communication and expression is a fixed image he gave me and our family, which is deeply rooted; But he has another side, a very different side. He won the Lu Xun Literature Award and published several books, so he is a celebrity in the county. Later, the county organized a literature lecture and invited him back. To tell the truth, I was really worried: could he talk well? Can he talk? That lecture changed my impression of him more or less, but it didn't make him cocky, did it? I didn't expect him to be so eloquent when it comes to literature and history (the topic stipulated by the county at that time seemed to be "Comparison of Eastern and Western Cultures") and culture.
My brother is a man who loves books. There is nothing to say. There are books everywhere in his house. There are too many books to put down. The problem is that he still made a mess. I know he gets pleasure from reading, and so does our family. I think most writers are like this, and he certainly doesn't belong to the particularly prominent one. At best, he is more serious and stupid birds fly more. What I want to say more is that he is a fun-loving person. He is a little forgetful when playing. He wouldn't say that about himself in a novel. I think I'd better expose his shortcomings first, or he'll pin it on me first. When we were young, we caught fish, dragonflies and grasshoppers together. He will set the rules for me: go home in half an hour and go home in one hour. As a result, he often violates the rules himself and has to be reminded again and again. I am 30 years old, should I change a little? He took his son and my daughter to the river to play. Nominally, he is a nanny. What happened? The child went home early. He chased the grasshopper until it was dark, and then called me anxiously: "Have you seen my son?" Have you met Qian Qian? I can't find them, don't tell my parents, you come out and look for them with me ... "20 17 years, I am 46 years old, at least a university professor. Shouldn't I be better? I arranged for my family to go to Saipan, but he got up early and came home late every day. Why? Patrol on the beach, catch hermit crabs and look for beautiful corals-he still enjoys it knowing that corals can't be taken away. At that time, I felt that I should be my brother and I had to take care of him.
I have to take care of him. I also said that he didn't bring short-sleeved casual clothes or shorts on this trip to Saipan. The "Raiders" I sent him were useless, so I had to give him the clothes and haven't returned them to me yet. That's all. More ironically, when we flew from Saipan to South Korea, he turned out to be short-sleeved shorts, shivering with cold. I said, "Take out your thick clothes and put them on!" " His answer is: "I checked all my clothes." God, how did he learn geography? What's more, I reminded him three times! No way, I had to give him my extra pants, but there was only one coat-who made us look good and who made us "martial arts"? I had to take off my coat and give it to him, although I was reluctant. For the record, there are quite a few such things! I really don't know what he is thinking.
He is also very careful. I can see it in his novels. He wrote an article "Father's Hourglass", in which there was a life we experienced together, which really made me have mixed feelings. Those fragments were vividly "resurrected" in his novels, which made me feel distressed again. I didn't expect him to remember that, so much. In the most difficult time of my life, every time I go back to my hometown for the New Year, he pays for my uncle's relatives to buy things. I can't beat him, but at my uncle's house, he makes people "know" in an understatement. This is the intention of my brothers. I understand that he is defending me and deliberately not letting me feel inferior-I really couldn't afford it at that time, and my family was really difficult. After I started to run a bookstore, I suddenly found that he was very kind to people, especially my customers. I know his character, including arrogance. What he did was actually to help my brother, although he never said it. When dealing with friends, he is sincere and helpful. His friends may say that he is a "good man". Yes, he is such a good man. He would rather be wronged by himself and hope that others will live more comfortably and happily. But sometimes, this brother will spoil me, for example, he will dislike my car and I will not open the door for him; For another example, when he wrote, he did not forget to remind me when he was drying on WeChat: "Today's writing is too expensive, which makes me feel distressed, brother. Have you seen it? It's time to buy me some paper! " Since many of my investments in him lack returns, I will pretend not to see them. At this time, he is more like my brother.
Having said so much, the more I say it, the more excited I am. Go home, I want to write a book, I want to write a story that Li Hao and I have to tell-this inspiration came from my brother's classmates, who said that if they were not properly bribed, they would really write this book. I think my brother must be a laundry list of scandals, and he can also be based on facts ... Do I need to say more? Look at his performance. I am willing to take bribes, but I dare not expect too much. I am two years younger than him. Growing up, we never quarreled, never! It is said that this is a miracle between brothers. To put it bluntly, this miracle is not so magical: as long as I can remember, he can't beat me. We don't fight, but I let him. Whether he admits it or not.
