Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 414 Sister
Yu Sumei's younger brother is Yu Guodong.

This name is full of his parents' expectations for him, hoping that he can become a pillar of the country.

Unfortunately, he did not become a pillar of society. Before he reached adulthood, he fell to the bottom of society, doing the hardest and most tiring work.

He was once the most precious child in the family, loved by his parents and his sister.

Unfortunately, since the moment he lost his sister, his entire world was turned upside down.

First, his mother had mental problems, and his father frowned and sighed every day. Finally, his mother died in a car accident and his father also died of illness, leaving him alone while he was still in elementary school.

So he returned to the countryside to live with his grandparents, and the good happiness he had in the past was gone forever.

Fortunately, I still have my grandparents, so I can still get by.

But even with such days, it didn't last long before his grandparents passed away one after another due to old age, and he became an orphan when he was still in junior high school.

In the once lively family, he is the only one left alone.

Sometimes he felt like he was dreaming. How could such a good home just be gone?

Sometimes he closed his eyes, and everything seemed to be right beside him. His mother was still busy in the kitchen, his father was sitting in the living room with his legs crossed watching TV, his sister was lying at the table doing homework, and the fan in the living room was creaking and shaking...

But when he opened his eyes, everything disappeared. For a long time, he was a little dazed and couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality.

However, life forced him to face reality and he had to learn to support himself.

So after graduating from junior high school, he dropped out of school and worked outside.

Over the years, he has carried cement bowls, worked as a reinforcement worker, built walls, painted, applied lime, and laid bricks. Sometimes, he even felt that he could build a house by himself with his bare hands.

Although I did the most tiring and difficult work, I didn't earn much money.

No one taught him how to save money. When he was young, he spent whatever he earned, without leaving a penny. When he got a little older, he learned to be thrifty, but at the end of the year, he still had very little money left in his pocket. Sometimes he was really confused and he had no idea what the purpose of life was.

I used to dream about my parents and sister often, but as I get older, even their appearances have become vague in my memory.

What is life?
It's eating, sleeping, drinking...

There are many colleagues from all over the world on the construction site.

They work hard every day, mostly for their children, and some for their parents, in order to find a wife...

They live with hope.

Yu Guodong just lives for the sake of living.

After another busy day, Yu Guodong, who was covered in dust and smelled sour, looked around the new house of the host family. It would probably take two days to finish painting all the walls.

After estimating the construction period in his mind, he turned off the lights and left the new house.

Looking back at the red word "Fu" on the gate, Yu Guodong felt it was particularly glaring.

"That's great." Yu Guodong murmured.

I heard from the owner that the house was renovated for their son's wedding.

How happy his son must be to have such a big house, decorated so nicely.

No wonder this word "Fu" is so bright red.

If his parents were still alive, they would probably find a partner for him in this way, right?
No, he should have been married by now and even had children.

Yu Guodong had a girlfriend before, and they dated for several years, but in the end, she married someone else because he was too poor.

Yu Guodong was sad for several days, and then he was no longer sad, because he had nothing in the first place, so what was there to be sad about?

After leaving the community, I saw the luxury cars of people returning from get off work in front of the door.

Yu Guodong's eyes flashed with envy. "They are all so rich, how did they make money?"

He obviously worked very hard and had only a few days of rest throughout the year, but he still had no money.

Maybe I should have read more books.

Passing by a convenience store, Yu Guodong walked in and bought a bottle of water and a pack of cigarettes.

When he paid and turned to leave, he smelled the aroma of grilled sausages from the convenience store. He couldn't help swallowing. He was already hungry, but now he felt even hungrier.

After thinking about it, I bought a bucket of instant noodles and then ordered myself a sausage.

The noodles were quickly prepared. There was a place to sit in the convenience store, but he was too dirty and was afraid of dirtying the store, so he took the instant noodles, went outside, and found a secluded step to sit down.

He first opened the bottle of mineral water and drank half of it in one breath, which relieved the invisible heat in his heart.

After putting down the bottle, he did not start eating instant noodles immediately, but lit a cigarette.

After taking a deep breath, I exhaled slowly, feeling a rare sense of relaxation. Through the smoke, I saw many old people dancing and children playing in the brightly lit square opposite.

Yu Guodong was completely empty-headed, thinking of nothing, because if he thought too much, he would have more troubles and would not want to live...

This is the experience he has gained from living to this day.

Just then, a figure suddenly sat down next to him.

Yu Guodong glanced sideways and saw a young and clean girl.

So he quickly moved his butt to the side, fearing that his smell would offend others.

After thinking about it, he put out the cigarette in his hand, picked up the instant noodles next to him, and prepared to eat before leaving.

He felt a little uncomfortable having such a clean and pretty girl sitting next to him.

"Dongdong, don't you remember me?"

The little girl tilted her head and looked at Yu Guodong.

"Do we know each other?" Yu Guodong looked confused.

Dongdong is his nickname, but no one has called him that for a long time.

The other party didn't say anything, but just looked at him with a smile, but that smile was uglier than crying.

"Little girl, you've got the wrong person. I don't know you." Yu Guodong said with a smile.

At this moment, he was covered in dust, but his smile was so pure.

But suddenly, he felt that the clothes on the other person looked vaguely familiar. It seemed to be the school uniform of Yunlong High School. However, it seemed impossible when he thought about it. Yunlong High School had been merged long ago and there was no school anymore.

Maybe I was seeing things, after all, the school uniforms are all pretty much the same.

"Dongdong, don't you recognize me?" the little girl said softly, her voice slightly choked.

Hearing the other party say this again, Yu Guodong was a little surprised. Could it be that he really knew the other party? So he looked at the other party carefully.

The originally vague memory seemed to gradually become clear, and my sister's voice and appearance slowly emerged from the deepest part of my mind.

But this is totally impossible. My sister has been dead for many years. Even if she is not dead, she is already in her thirties now. How could she still be so young?

Then, his throat surged and his voice was a little dry as he said, "You...you recognized the wrong person, right?"

The other party shook her head and said with a choked voice: "I am Yu Sumei, I am your sister, I am your sister Yu Sumei..."

Yu Guodong felt a black screen in front of his eyes, his head was buzzing, and he felt dizzy. It seemed as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

Am I sick, or am I still dreaming?
