Now that the country is building a new countryside, Hejiazhuang has not yet enjoyed the benefits of new houses, but in terms of transportation, it has been much more convenient.

A concrete road runs through the village, although it is relatively narrow, but it does bring many conveniences to the countryside.

At the very least, the agricultural products can be shipped out.

Some farm machinery can also be driven in.

Therefore, in the past few years, farming in the countryside has been good, and with the exemption of agricultural taxes, the life of farmers is quite comfortable.

Of course, it is definitely not as good as working outside to earn money, unless it is contracted on a large scale and mechanized planting.

As soon as He Sihai arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw a child squatting by the pond.

He knew that it was He Da's family in the village, named He Qiu, who was eight years old this year, which was the age when people hated dogs, and he was particularly naughty.

"He Qiu, it's noon, what are you doing here if you don't go home? Why don't you go home quickly, I'll tell your dad if you don't go home." He Sihai scared him.

In the summer, rural children like to go to the pond for swimming, which is very dangerous.

He Qiu turned his head when he heard this, looked at him in some surprise, and then turned his head and ran.

"Why are you running so fast? I don't know what to call people. He Sihai muttered and didn't care.

Then he went straight home, on a small slope at the easternmost end of the village.

It is relatively close to the cement roadside, because He Tao and his wife transported sand and gravel, so they got a cart of stones and paved them all the way to the door.

In this way, it will not be muddy on rainy days, and the only bad thing is that it is a little awkward to walk.

Before He Sihai arrived at the door, he saw a small figure sitting under the big tree in front of his house from a distance, burying his head and eating, like a little hamster.

Looking at her lonely figure, He Sihai's nose was sour.

"Peaches. He Sihai shouted.

Peaches, who was eating, raised her head when she heard the sound, and when she saw He Sihai, she was stunned at first, probably not reacting to the sudden surprise, and it took a while before she showed ecstasy.

Then he shouted "Dad", and then stood up with a "whoosh" and ran towards He Sihai.

"Slow down and be careful of falling. He Sihai bent down and hugged her.

"Dad. Momoko put her arms around his neck and screamed again.

"Didn't you say that, if you want to call my brother, I haven't married a wife yet......"

When her adoptive parents died, Momoko was less than two years old, and she couldn't figure out where her parents had gone, why were they gone?

Other children have parents, why doesn't she?

He Sihai joked, if you want to call Dad, then call me Dad, but I didn't expect Peaches to take it seriously, and I never changed my words.

Before He Sihai finished speaking, Peaches suddenly cried "wow".

Crying out of breath.

"Momoko, what's wrong with you, Momoko?" asked Grandma loudly when she heard a voice in the house.

Then he leaned against the wall and walked out tremblingly.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?

When he left, his grandmother was almost well, but now she looked very weak.

"Sihai is back?"

Grandma didn't answer his question, and when she saw He Sihai, she showed a relieved expression.

"Grandma'......"

He Sihai wanted to ask again, but grandma turned to Taozi and asked, "What's the matter, shouldn't my brother be happy when he comes back?" Why are you crying, come, hug grandma." ”

"Grandma, I'd better come. He Sihai let her outstretched arm.

Grandma's arms were skinny and skinny, and the green tendons on her arms were clearly visible.

Grandma didn't force it, but looked at He Sihai and said, "I've tanned a lot, hurry up and go into the house, haven't you had lunch yet?"

"No, Peach, have you had lunch?" He Sihai asked the peach in his arms.

Peaches, who had stopped crying and were slowly choking, held up the sweet potato that had been holding in her hand and said, "I'm eating it." ”

“......”

"Do you want to eat this at noon?"

He Sihai just wanted to ask, but when he saw his grandmother's weak appearance, he swallowed it back.

"My brother will make you something to eat in the evening. He Sihai said with a smile.

"Hmm. Momoko smiled happily.

"By the way, my brother brought you delicious food and a toy, do you like it?" He Sihai put her underground.

Quietly looked at her.

I saw that the peach was dirty, her little face was white and black because of tears, and her hair was messy on her head, covering her eyes.

Watching my brother take out delicious snacks, he didn't eat peaches and sweet potatoes, and he was happy as if he was celebrating a holiday.

Especially the toys that her brother bought for her, she especially liked them.

A fat chick with four rollers underneath.

There is a string pull loop behind the buttocks, and when you pull it on the ground, the chick will run forward happily.

She was so happy, and ran after the chicks.

Giggling with laughter.

"Sihai, let's have lunch first. Grandma came out of the house with a bowl of sweet potatoes.

"Grandma, I'll do it myself. He Sihai hurriedly took the bowl in her hand, and then helped her sit down.

"Hurry up and eat, there's a lot more in the pot. Grandma said with a smile.

But He Sihai couldn't hide the sourness in his heart.

"Grandma, are you feeling unwell again, I'll take you to the county hospital in the afternoon. He Sihai sat down next to him.

Grab a piece of sweet potato from the bowl and stuff it in your mouth.

The sweet potato is half-cooked, although it is very sweet, but He Sihai eats it in his mouth, but it is slightly bitter.

"No, grandma knows her own situation, it's good for you to come back, look at the peaches happy." Grandma looked at the peach who was constantly chasing the "chicken" and said happily.

A mouth full of missing teeth is exposed, and his face is full of satisfaction.

He Sihai didn't continue to ask, but secretly decided to take his grandmother to the hospital for another check-up.

Then we talked a lot.

"Are you tired of working on a construction site?"

"Did you eat well?"

"Is Master good?"

"There are many mosquitoes at night, so ...... mosquito coils"

“......”

The details are exhaustive, and he asked about the things in He Sihai's life almost from beginning to end.

Momoko didn't continue to play with her "chicks" either.

Instead, he held it and curled up in his brother's arms.

I haven't seen her for more than two months, and she misses "Dad".

Particularly special thoughts.

He Sihai used his hand to help Peaches brush the messy hair on Peaches' head while talking to his grandmother.

The breeze swept through the treetops, and a few fallen leaves swirled and fell slowly.

The dappled sunlight in front of the door, swaying with the breeze.

Brushing the tips of Peach's hair, she lifted a few of her hairs and fluttered in the air.

He Sihai stretched out his hand and gently pressed her, for some reason, at this moment, the fatigue and pressure of life caused by his work outside seemed to disappear without a trace.

The body felt a burst of relief from the inside out.

He suddenly wanted to go out to work anymore and stayed at home with Momoko and Grandma.

But it's just a matter of thinking.

How can I do it if I don't make money, and the money my grandmother borrowed for medical treatment has not been repaid.

He also wants to create a better living environment for Peaches.

Life is always full of helplessness.
