What do I think Bruno asked me what I think
Do you miss your new home?
No, Bruno answered quickly, because he wants to be an honest man and he knows that he may not have the courage to say what he really thinks after a little hesitation. I think we should go home, he bravely added.
Father’s smile disappeared a little. He looked down at the letter in his hand for a while and then looked up again as if he wanted to seriously think about answering this question. Well, this is our family Bruno. Finally, his father said flatly that going together is our new home.
But when will we go back to Berlin and hear my father say that Bruno’s heart sank? It’s much better there.
Come on, come on, father doesn’t want to listen to Bruno. Let’s stop thinking about it. He said that home is not a house, a street, a city, or something as superficial as bricks and lime. Family is home, don’t you think?
Yes, but
Your family is here, Bruno. It’s our home if we go together.
Bruno doesn’t know about erg, but he doesn’t need to know because he has come up with a clever answer, but his grandparents are all in Berlin. He said that they are also our family, and this is not our home.
Father thought for a moment and nodded his head. It was a long time before he answered that Bruno is our family, but you, my mother and Gretel are the most important people in our family. Now the four of us live here together. Don’t be listless now, because Bruno looks so unhappy that you haven’t given him a chance. In fact, you may.
I’m not here. Bruno’s still here.
Bruno’s father said in a tired voice
Carl is not here, Daniel is not here, Martin is not here, there are no other rooms around, no vegetable shops, no streets, no outdoor cafes, and no one pushes you around on Saturday afternoon.
Bruno, sometimes we have to do something in our life. Don’t choose our father. Bruno said that his father was tired of this conversation. I’m afraid this is the case this time. This is very important for our work, our country and Yan Shou. You will be in vain in the future.
I want to go home. Bruno said that he could feel tears rolling in his eyes. How much he wanted his father to realize how bad it was to go to a place like this together. He should allow the horse to leave here.
You know, you are at home now, and my father replied, on the contrary, which makes Bruno very disappointed. In the foreseeable future, this place will be your home.
Bruno closed his eyes. In his life experience, he rarely tried to change his father’s mind as he did today. But Bruno still needed to think about the idea of staying here in this hellhole where no one plays together. After a while, Bruno opened his eyes and his father came from behind the table and sat down beside him in an armchair. Bruno saw him hit a silver box, tapped a cigarette on the table and lit it.
I remember when I was a child, my father said, of course, I don’t want to do anything, but my father told me that I would do it if it was good for everyone, and I would try my best to do it.
What is it? Bruno asked
Oh, I forgot that my father shrugged his shoulders and said, it’s either this or that. When I was a child, I didn’t know what was the best time. I didn’t want to stay at home and write, but I wanted to go to the street to play with my friends, just like you. Now I think back how stupid I was.
You can know how I feel, Bruno said hopefully
Yes, but I also know that my father, your grandfather, knows what is best for me. When I accept his request, I will be very happy. It is because I have learned when to argue and when to shut up and obey orders. Bruno, can you be white?
Bruno looked around and finally his eyes rested on the corner window of the room, through which he could see the boring scene in the distance.
Did you make a mistake? Bruno asked after a while, which made Yan Shou angry.
What does my father mean by looking at him in surprise?
You didn’t make a mistake at work. I know everyone says that you are an important person. Yan Shou always assigns you importance, but if you didn’t make a mistake, he wouldn’t punish you like this and send you to such a place.
Father laughed, which made Bruno even more depressed. Nothing made him more angry than an adult laughing at his knowledge, especially when he was looking for answers.
You don’t understand the importance of such a position, father said
Important friends can’t type the old domain name, but they can access it by visiting the alternate domain name.
Well, let’s all leave our friends in a beautiful home and come to such a terrible place. I think maybe your work is not done well. I think you must have done something wrong and should apologize to Yan Shou. Then it may be over. You are sincere, so he may forgive you.
When Bruno said these words, he hardly thought about it. He heard these words floating in the air, not like he should speak to his father, but he had already said them. He didn’t come back like throwing water. Bruno swallowed nervously and was silent for a while. He looked up at his father, his face was livid, and Bruno licked his lips and looked away. He thought it was best not to look at his father’s eyes.
After a few minutes of silence and awkwardness, my father slowly got up from his chair and walked back to the table to put the cigarette in the ashtray.
I think it’s not a bad thing that you said it calmly after a while because there seems to be some kind of struggle in your brave father’s mind, instead of being rude.
I don’t want to
But you should be quiet now. Father’s high-pitched voice interrupted Bruno, because family rules are not binding on him. I am very glad that you feel Bruno here, because I know this change is difficult for you to adapt to, and I have heard your feelings. Although you are young and inexperienced, you have forced you to say rude words, but you have seen that I have not responded to it. It is time for you to accept the reality.
I don’t want to accept all this. Bruno shouted and then blinked in surprise because he didn’t even know why he was shouting the truth so loudly. He was shocked by himself. He tightened his nerves and prepared to run away when necessary. But today, it seems that nothing will make his father angry and Bruno is honest enough with himself. If he is honest enough, he has to admit that his father is actually not very angry. His father became calm and strange, and he ended the conversation in other ways instead of yelling at Bruno and chasing him around the house. His father simply shook his head to show that their argument is over.
Go back to your room. Bruno’s father spoke in such a calm tone. Bruno was serious, so he got up and his eyes were filled with tears of frustration. He went to the door, but he turned to ask the last question. Father asked him.
Bruno, I don’t want my father to get impatient
It’s not about this. Bruno Ma said I want to ask another question.
Father sighed, but said he could ask this question to end the conversation.
Bruno thought about another question, and this time he wanted to find a suitable expression, and he didn’t want to be reckless and out of line with who those people were outside. Finally, he talked about his own problems.
Father tilted his head to the left, as if confused by this question. Soldier Bruno said that you must have seen them before.
No, it wasn’t them. Bruno said it was from my window that those people were far away in the small room. They were all dressed exactly the same.
Ah, those people’s father nodded and smiled slightly. Those people, uh, they are not people at all, Bruno
Bruno frowned. They’re not people. He didn’t understand what his father was saying.
Well, at least we don’t understand the scope, father continued, but you don’t worry about them now. They don’t have anything in common with you. You have nothing in common with them. That’s what I ask to accept you in your new home. You will find it easy in the environment.
