You clean these cups first. Now Liu Trent kotler said in a calm tone that Bruno could hardly hear him, as if his anger had turned into something else, but it was not better, but more invisible and terrible. Then I’ll come and pick you up and take you back to Zhongying. We’ll discuss how to deal with the thieves there, okay?
Himl nodded, picked up another napkin and wiped another cup. Bruno saw his fingers shaking and knew that himl was afraid of breaking the cup. His heart sank, but he couldn’t help but keep looking. He couldn’t look away.
Come on, little man Liu Trent kotler came up to Bruno with an unfriendly arm around his shoulder. You go to the living room and watch the child finish his work. He told Pavel to find the tire and said the same thing.
Bruno nodded and turned away from the kitchen without looking back. He felt a churn in his stomach. He felt that he was going to fall ill. He had never been so ashamed in his life. He never imagined that he could act like this. He thought how a boy who thought he was a good man could treat his friend so cowardly. He stayed in the living room for hours, but he was too energetic to go back to the kitchen until Liu Trent kotler came back that night and took himl away.
Then Bruno went to their meeting place every afternoon, but himl wasn’t there. This lasted for almost a week. He thought he had done something unforgivable to himl, but on the seventh day he was glad to see himl waiting for him there, sitting cross-legged and staring at the dirt as usual.
Himl, he shouted and ran to him, almost crying and sitting down. He was relieved, but he still regretted it. I’m so sorry, himl. I don’t know what I would do. Please forgive me.
No, himl said he looked up at him now. His face was bruised. Bruno made faces at him. After a while, he forgot to apologize.
What’s the matter with you? He asked, but before himl could answer, did you ride a bike? Because this happened to me in Berlin a few years ago. I rode too fast and fell black and blue for several weeks. Did it hurt?
I can’t feel it anymore, himl said
It looks very painful.
I can’t feel anything, himl said.
Well, I’m sorry about last week. Bruno said I hate Liu Trent kotler. He thought he could be the boss in our family, but it wasn’t like that. He hesitated for a moment. He felt that he should apologize again seriously. He said word for word that I couldn’t believe I didn’t tell him the truth. I had never treated my friend himl like this. I was ashamed of myself.
When he said this, himl smiled and nodded. Bruno knew that he was forgiven. Then himl did something he had never done before. He lifted the bottom of the wire just like Bruno brought him food every time, but this time he reached out and waited for Bruno to do the same. Then the two boys shook hands and smiled at each other.
This is their first contact with each other.
Chapter 16 hair
It’s been nearly a year since Bruno came home to find Maria picking up his things, and his memory in Berlin has faded. When he recalls, he can remember the name of Carl Martin among his three best friends, but he can’t remember the other one anyway, but suddenly something happened. He will be able to leave together and go back to his old house in two days. His grandmother died and his family will go back to his hometown for a funeral.
When he returned there, Bruno found that he was not as short as when he left, because when he looked at Berlin from the top window of his hometown in Berlin, he was no longer on tiptoe and could not see the scene before he could see it.
Bruno hasn’t seen his grandmother since he left Berlin, but he misses her every day. The main thing he remembers about her is her. He also plays a play at a Christmas birthday party in Gretel. She always prepares gorgeous props. He feels very sad at the thought that they can’t do this anymore.
The two days they stayed in Berlin were also the most sad. Bruno Gretel’s father, mother and grandfather were sitting in the front row. Father was dressed in his best military uniform and hung with many medals. Father was particularly sad. Mother told Bruno that he had a quarrel with his grandmother and they couldn’t solve it until her death.
Many people sent wreaths to the church, which made my father very proud, but one of them was sent by the Fuhrer, but when my mother heard about it, she said that my grandmother would jump out of the grave when she knew.
Bruno seems to be very happy to go back together. Now this room has become his home. He no longer cares about it on the third floor instead of the fifth floor, and he is no longer bothered by the soldiers’ rampage. He slowly accepts that everything here is not so bad, especially when he knows himl. For example, his father and mother usually look much happier, and his mother didn’t take so many naps and drink so much grape wine, while Gretel entered another stage. His mother said that she didn’t bother him much.
Another reason is that Liu Trent kotler was transferred together, which will never make Bruno angry or depressed. He left expect the unexpected one night, and his father and mother quarreled about it, but he still left, which is certain that he will never come back. Gretel was very sad about it, and one thing made Bruno happy. No one called him a little man anymore.
But what makes him most happy is his good friend named himl.
He enjoys walking along the wire every afternoon. He is very happy that his friend seems to have a lot of heart recently. His eyes are no longer so magical. Although his body is still so skinny, his face is no longer scary.
One day, sitting opposite him at their usual meeting place, Bruno said that this is the strangest friendship I have ever had.
What himl asked?
Because I told my friends and boys that we all played together, he replied that we had never played together, and all we did was sit here and chat.
I’m sitting here chatting, himl said.
Well, I also said Bruno, but we can’t always do more exciting things together. This is really a pity. We have never been able to play football without this wire.
Bruno always makes such remarks because he wants to pretend that he didn’t do anything that violated himl’s friendship a few months ago. In fact, he often accuses himself of feeling bad.
Maybe one day we can play together. himl said they would let us go.
Bruno thought more and more about the situation on both sides of the wire. He thought about talking to his father or mother, but thought they might be angry about it or tell him what happened at his home in himl, so he decided to find another way to talk to the incurable person.
