Uncle

I read the book review I wrote four years ago, and I still remember the emotion that seemed so light but actually so strong, which is very moving. Before reading this "Little Uncle", I knew nothing about Dan Sheng. I just accidentally caught a glimpse of such a very bland book title, and even the copy contains a very bland dialogue, but I suddenly wanted to see if there would be any surprises behind this blandness. The opening chapter is indeed very bland, full of trivial daily life and small characters struggling in boring and unsatisfactory real life. I guess those who are used to reading high-profile plots will abandon the novel because they cannot adapt to such a low-key style. Fortunately, I allowed myself to calm down and read it carefully, and the deep emotions hidden behind the plain appearance of the protagonists were revealed bit by bit. Unknowingly, it made people immersed in it, happy for it, and sad for it. As the name suggests, this is an uncle-nephew essay. Between the uncle and nephew, who are only three years and two months apart, there is the moral responsibility brought by the uncle-nephew generation and the ambiguous feelings accumulated by childhood sweethearts. Where will the two go from here? After reading too many stories about fathers and sons, one will always take it for granted that uncle and nephew are not a problem at all, and the two will eventually overcome all difficulties and be together. However, the author obviously does not want to weave a happy story so hastily. What she allows us to see are some principles that ordinary people adhere to in their ordinary lives. These principles are their foundation and their dignity, and they will never be abandoned easily because of love. The story unfolds from the perspective of the eldest nephew Xue Chen, but the real soul figure is the younger uncle Xue Qi. In Xue Chen's eyes, compared to his parents who eventually divorced after being beaten and scolded every day, his uncle Xue Qi, who always accompanied him when he was lonely and confused, was actually the closest person to him. Therefore, when he was a child, he always pestered Xue Qi unreasonably; when he grew up and graduated from college and was unemployed, he still shamelessly pestered Xue Qi. Although Xue Qi seemed to dislike Xue Chen, he silently planned the future for Xue Chen, including Xue Chen's work and his future family. While Xue Chen was enjoying Xue Qi's care for him with peace of mind, he became increasingly dissatisfied with Xue Qi's aloofness towards him, and looked forward more and more to staying with this uncle who was obviously very good but was content to be mediocre. He didn't know that behind Xue Qi's always indifferent words and deeds, there were still emotions that ran deep - He didn't know how helpless Xue Qi felt when he was forced to act as an elder at a young age; He didn't know how distressed Xue Qi, who always disliked his ignorant eldest nephew, felt when he saw him being ignored by his irresponsible parents; He didn't know how panicked Xue Qi was when he discovered that he was gay and had strange feelings for his only close homosexual nephew; He didn't know how painful it was for Xue Qi, who could only suppress his emotions for more than ten years towards his beloved one right in front of him... At the beginning of the story, we see Xue Qi, a taciturn man who always adheres to his duties as an uncle. He has no great ambitions and only works as a small civil servant working nine to five; he has no great filial piety. He should have started a family and started a career long ago, but he still relies on his mother to provide food and drink, and even lets his eldest nephew take care of him. However, he was actually just protecting the people he loved most in his own way. For his widowed mother, and for Xue Chen, who could never let go, he was like an eagle whose hands and feet were tied, willing to give up the vast sky. For Xue Chen, Xue Qi was emotionally unwilling to stay away and could not overcome intellectually. However, this hard-to-maintain balance was broken by Xue Chen, who was awakening in his heart. In the ordinary but warm and stable day and night together, Xue Chen accidentally discovered Xue Qi's sexual orientation, and then couldn't help but feel the beauty of Xue Qi more and more. The natural affection naturally evolved into increasingly strong love. This was an extremely slow process, and it took almost three-quarters of the entire story to allow Xue Chen to confirm his feelings; however, before that, Xue Qi, who could not abandon ethics for love, chose to escape. It's just that Xue Chen was destined to be Xue Qi's disaster. He could escape for a while, but he couldn't escape for the rest of his life. In this love, Xue Chen is straightforward and fearless. He is lucky enough to experience such unethical emotions at an adult age, but he also has enough enthusiasm to challenge this huge obstacle. However, Xue Qi is different. He discovered this emotion early, but has been bound by morality for more than ten years, and it has become an inescapable fetter. Xue Chen could go to all the trouble to come out to his family regardless of love, but he couldn't because he couldn't bear the regret that his mother couldn't bear the blow and passed away, and he couldn't be sure that Xue Chen's emotions and life would be finalized. Obviously, if it weren't for the unavoidable influence that he tried his best to restrain, Xue Chen would not have embarked on this difficult road, so he could not completely ruin Xue Chen's life because of his selfishness. The only thing he could do was to keep Xue Chen away from him amid endless nostalgia and sadness. Such Xue Qi is regrettable, but it also makes me admire and admire him. Dan Sheng's writing is very light, the plot is full of family stories, the development of the story is advanced quietly and inadvertently, and the emotions of the characters are even more subtle. Therefore, this "Little Uncle" is as clear as water. Except for a few involuntary touches and a few kisses that are reluctant to be welcomed, there is nothing else. Even if they are naked, they still adhere to the moral bottom line and never cross it. According to Dan Sheng, if she writes more than 100,000 words, she always wants to end it. So this, the longest article she has written so far, ended abruptly before the story was over, leaving an emotional deadlock where the two of them returned to treating each other like guests. But I still believe that this ending that looks like BE is full of the hope of HE. As long as Xue Qi's emotions don't change, and as long as Xue Chen's courage doesn't fade away, they will be able to get together in the end. Maybe the two of them had missed their best years on that day, but it was worth the long wait to wait for their most beloved mother/grandma to pass her last moments without resentment or heartache. What's more, when the old man saw that his beloved son and grandson were always alone and only two people could be happy together, why wouldn't the greatest resistance turn into the greatest motivation? This story is still going on. I only hope that Xue Qi's deep sorrow that he has endured for nearly twenty years can finally end with sweetness; and that Xue Chen, who has been carefully protected by his uncle, can finally grow into a towering tree, allowing Xue Qi to trust him with peace of mind. It was only after a year and a half that I found out that "Little Uncle" had finally completed the extra story, and the two of them were finally together [tears]. It was 6 years after the two of them lived together respectfully as guests. During a disastrous rainstorm, Xue Qi could not contact Xue Chen. Only then did he realize that he could not lose Xue Chen no matter what. A month later, Xue Chen asked Xue Qi one day why he looked so sad on the day of the rainstorm. Xue Qi said, "At that time, I felt that I couldn't live anymore." Then he asked Xue Chen, "Are you willing to come with me?" That day was the Chinese Valentine's Day. Lovers will eventually get married. That year, both of them were already over 10 years old, and their green years were no longer there, but they still held on to the tail of youth. Finally, I would like to say that in the following years, Xue Qi became more and more gentle and doting towards Xue Chen, and the days were dull and sweet, very happy [laughs].

Who knows, I can still watch the extras and update??? God knows how many times I have read this article over and over again???

Thinking about the heavy rain in Zhengzhou this year, I feel like crying

Dear author, what is your scarf? Qaq wants to ask for an article

Ahhhhhhhh, big update! ! ! ! Love you love you! I fell to the bottom of the big dug pit and struggled again.

Calling the author, I saw your article accidentally, but I fell in love with your writing style at first glance. The feelings are restrained and delicate, deep and yet tender. But why is Chapter 74 locked? As a patient with untreatable obsessive-compulsive disorder, I searched for it for a long time to no avail... It made me scratch my head. Please send me a private message on Weibo

The writing is deep and tender, and my heart is clenched and released. I haven't felt this way while reading a novel in a long time. Let me cry first.

Although I saw this article accidentally, once I read it I couldn't stop because it was written very delicately. Road turns to fans!

There is even a new episode! [Shy][Shy]Happy

I like it so much. I like it so much. The long comment I posted before is gone. I was so angry that I had bubbles in my mouth. I really like this article. I have read it several times. Confession to my wife.
