Journey 1995:Non-Stop

Chapter 66 I Really Didn’t “Say”

After all the trouble, Yan Hui immediately started to look for the second brother's problem, asking him why he didn't come to see him off at that time.

"Okay, okay, you're not done yet. It's just a matter of proposing marriage! I'm afraid I'll feel embarrassed seeing you! I'll be afraid and won't dare to do it anymore if I see you!" The second brother was not panicked at all.

There is nothing to panic about. Liu Yu is not your Yan Hui's girlfriend, so why can't you fight for her?

"Hahaha, we both laughed for a long time about this. You are really good and talented!" Yan Hui laughed non-stop.

In Yan Hui's opinion, the matter of the second brother was nothing. It was not that Yan Hui could be so magnanimous, but the second brother was actually a very dull person, just the opposite of the third brother.

If the third brother did something like this, Yan Hui would think he was not a good brother. But if the second brother did something like this, Yan Hui would even think that this kid had finally come to his senses.

"This matter has had a huge impact on me. It's hard to keep it secret, and many of my classmates know about it," the second brother looked at Yan Hui and the third brother, "so, I've made a decision. After school starts this year, I won't go back to school. I'm going out to do business."

"Is it so urgent?" In Yan Hui's eyes, with the second son's grades, there is actually not much difference whether he studies or not.

Come to think of it, it's a bit early for a high school student to propose marriage, but it's not uncommon here, as there are many high school students who have children. But failure in marriage proposals is indeed very rare, and it can be seen that the second child has made up his mind.

Yan Hui even felt that since the second brother could do this, his feelings for Liu Yu might be even deeper than his own!
"A lot of people talk about me behind my back, but it's really nothing. It's been over half a year," the second child thought for a moment. "It's just that I feel like studying is pointless. What I'm learning now is of no use in society. Honestly, the knowledge I learned in junior high school is enough. What I learned in high school is completely out of touch with life."

"Then where are you going? Come with me to Fengtian." Although Yan Hui didn't have much ability, he was still willing to call the second brother over and work hard together.

"No, I want to go to the capital. I have an uncle there, and I'm going to live with him." said the second brother.

"What does your uncle do?"

"Hardware."

"Oh, that's a bit out of line. Since you have a plan, just follow it." Yan Hui nodded.

After the second brother said this, the one who was most touched was the third brother.

The third brother is currently studying at a medical school. After graduation, he will stay in the village to become a doctor. Now that his brothers have all left, he is the only one left in the village. However, he has no choice. Most of his family members stay in the village. They have some influence in the village, but no one does business outside.

As the only one of the three who was "business-minded," Yan Hui naturally had to be more generous. He went to the billiard hall and called his cousin, who was the host, to treat everyone to a good meal at a restaurant in town. After the meal, the second and third brothers rode their bicycles back home, while Yan Hui and his cousin rode one.

This time, the cousin was unwilling to let Yan Hui ride. He was really scared of Yan Hui when he came. So, the cousin said he wanted to ride the bike, and Yan Hui was happy to do so.

Maybe Yan Hui had given him a lot of trouble on the way here, so when he went back, his cousin pedaled hard, no matter how bad the road was, and Yan Hui's butt was almost broken.

"Brother! Why are you taking this road?" Yan Hui watched his cousin walking towards the small path and hurriedly stopped him.

"This way is shorter!"

"Ah? It's not easy to walk here!"

"It's okay! I can ride!" Although the road conditions were bad, my cousin was not willing to give in at all. He gritted his teeth and pedaled hard. Yan Hui was even worried that the chain would fall off.

Soon, the car passed a stone bridge.

This stone bridge is about two kilometers from the village. Yan Hui occasionally comes here to play. The river under the bridge is a deep pool with many fish, but they are difficult to catch. In the village, you can't even get a big fishing net.

The stone bridge is built with long stone slabs. It is said to have been built in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The quality is very good and it remains stable after decades of wind and rain. However, a lot of sand and gravel between the stone slabs have been washed away. It is not a big deal to walk on it, but it is a bit dangerous to ride a bike on it because the wheels can easily get stuck.

"Brother, let's get off the car and rush over there?" Yan Hui sat there trembling with fear. He couldn't help but change his posture, ready to jump out of the car at any time.

"Why are you so timid? Don't you believe in my skills? Let me tell you, this road is easy to walk on! Just move a little to the side, where there are fewer people walking. For roads like this, I..." Before his cousin could finish his words, the front wheel was instantly stuck in a crevice, and the whole car braked to a stop instantly. Yan Hui bumped into his cousin.

Yan Hui reacted too quickly. He immediately pushed the seat hard, jumped up from the seat, rolled over, and landed on the bridge, but his arm was slightly scratched.

Before he could check the wound, Yan Hui only heard "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Yan Hui quickly ran to the side of the bridge and looked down. He saw the water surging and his cousin seemed to have sunk to the bottom. Now he had floated up and was kicking the water.

Without saying a word, Yan Hui jumped from the bridge and prepared to go into the water to save his cousin.

I have to say that my cousin is a pretty good swimmer. Yan Hui didn't even need to go into the water. My cousin swam to the shore by himself and was dragged up by Yan Hui.

After getting ashore, my cousin must have choked on water and kept coughing, and there was bleeding on his head. Yan Hui checked and confirmed that it was also a skin injury.

After a short pause, my cousin went up the bridge and checked his bike: "Wait for me here, I'll go home first and change my clothes!"

"Ah?" Yan Hui was stunned for a moment, "Brother, let me take you back on my bike."

"No need! Wait for me!" My cousin pulled out the front tire, then briefly checked the car, got in, and drove away.

Yan Hui was a little confused and could only walk back slowly.

There were still two kilometers to go, and Yan Hui, having fallen, walked a little slower. Less than 500 meters from the village, his cousin rode back.

"Brother, we're already here. You don't have to pick me up. I can go back."

"I promised to pick you up, so I have to pick you up."

"Okay." Yan Hui nodded.

"Xiaohui, I'm telling you, you can't tell anyone about what happened today," my cousin emphasized.

"what?"

"You have to promise me!" said my cousin again.

"Okay, I promise you, I won't tell anyone about this."

"Okay, no one can tell."

"Yeah, yeah." Yan Hui felt that his cousin was good in every way except that he cared too much about face.

"Hook."

"Handshake." Yan Hui stretched out his hand helplessly and got into his cousin's car.

Although he had changed into new clothes, his cousin was still wet all over, and Yan Hui wanted to laugh when he touched him.

However, having promised not to tell anyone, Yan Hui definitely wouldn't tell anyone. This promise, Yan Hui later really kept.

(Perhaps, my cousin would never know that several years later, Yan Hui did not "tell" anyone about this, but "wrote" this incident in a book.)
