As soon as my parents left, trouble came to the door.

Grandma was cleaning up things in the yard, and Katsuko shook into the yard, and when she saw her grandmother, she asked, "Is your little fourth here?"

Grandma said, "It's Katsuko, Si'er is at home, what's wrong?"

Shengzi had a hung expression, stood in the courtyard and tilted his head and said, "Forget it, I know it's useless to tell Xiao Si, so I'll tell you, do you know if Xiao Si stabbed the big basket and caused a big disaster?"

Grandma was confused, and said with a puzzled face: "What are you talking about that Katsuko?"

At this time, the grandfather came out of the house and heard Katsuko's words.

Without waiting for grandpa to speak, Katsuko continued: "My eldest brother was imprisoned by your junior and sentenced to ten years, and he also hurt me to squat for half a year. ”

Grandpa took a few steps forward and interrupted Katsuko's words: "Katsuko, are you confused or stupid? You said that Si'er sent you two young men to prison? You are not talking in your dreams in broad daylight, you are talking nonsense here, what is my family Si'er, don't you know what's wrong? You are still here to say what Si'er has done to you, and you have caused a big disaster? You make it clear. If I don't make it clear, I'll find your house to comment on the theory!" Grandpa's tone was obviously with Mars.

Shengzi stiffened his neck and said to his grandfather: "Don't believe it, my eldest brother said it himself, the fourth child wrote to him and let him fall into the trap of the public security, and he was imprisoned, and when he came out, I won't scare you, you don't know who my eldest brother is, right? He is the famous 'short man black' in the city! It's not that people look black, it's black hands and black hearts! I can bear this for the sake of living in a village." My eldest brother can't bear it, I met my eldest brother a few days ago, and he asked me to give you a message, and I also brought the words, you can do it yourself. ”

When Grandpa heard this, he immediately became angry and scolded loudly: "You did all the bad things yourself, you were arrested by the public security and squatted in prison, and what happened to our family is also the retribution you deserve for doing too many bad things, and you dare to come and threaten us and let you stinky fart! You tell that what a black, you have the ability to yell at the police, and make us four angry, no! You go out." Get out!"

Katsuko saw that her grandfather was angry, and said with a hippie smile: "Okay, anyway, I brought my words." After saying that, he shook his arms and left.

The angry grandfather spat at his back and said, "Something that hasn't grown!"

Katsuko told the people in the village what happened: The eldest brother I met when I was working in the city, and he is famous among the gangsters in the city. The eldest brother had a conflict with another group of gangsters because of the turf matter, just a year ago in the group fight, one person beat the other party's three guys into serious injuries, and had to run out to hide, he was hiding for a few days in the east and west, hiding outside for several months, and he hid in my house that day, and stayed for more than ten days to tell me that he wanted to go to a friend in Shiya Village to stay for a while, that is, the day I sent him away, I looked at the little four writing at the entrance of the village, and left without saying anything after reading it. When we were drinking in Shiya Village at night, he said to us that he wanted to go back to see his wife, and we persuaded him not to go back, not afraid of 10,000 in case, and then go back when the wind passed, the eldest brother said that he had been hiding for several months, and the police could not have been squatting at his house, just go home and take a look and come back. We said to accompany him, and he said that there were too many people to let us go, so he was waiting for him at home. I came back the next day, and he went back to see his mother in the evening, and he was stuck in the house within ten minutes of getting home. I didn't know that he was arrested, and he ate noodles at home at noon, and was taken away by the police without eating two bites, saying that I was covering up the crime and was re-educated through labor for half a year. On the day I came out, I went to the prison to see my eldest brother, and my eldest brother asked me if I had seen any words written by Xiao Si at the entrance of the village that day, and I said that I didn't see it, and he said no, obviously he wrote three words of 'filial piety', that is, the word 'filial piety', or wrote it three times in a row! He saw it clearly, and then he had been thinking about the old lady all the way, and moved the idea of going home to see the old lady, otherwise he would not fall into the trap. When the eldest brother said this, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and finally quietly told me to let me come back and give a message to Xiaosi, this matter is not over! I know that the eldest brother has a temper and is ruthless, how dare I disobey. Xiao Si is afraid that a big disaster is coming, let's wait for the eldest brother to come out, and I will ensure that their family will drink a pot.

Someone said to Shengzi: "You can't persuade your eldest brother, this matter can't be relied on Xiaosi, this family is not easy." ”

Katsuko grinned: "I advise, I don't have that ability, it's not that I scolded my eldest brother and hid in my house for so many days, he doesn't even know what my big name is, I can't even count him as a follower, I usually can't talk to others, at most I make up a number of people to cheer, it's easy to get close to my eldest brother, he went in again." No one can stop him from doing what he wants to do! I think I'd better forget it, more things are better than less. ”

There are always people with quick mouths and quick legs who run to the house and pass on Katsuko's words to her grandparents. After hearing this, Grandpa smiled indifferently: "Don't plant crops anymore after listening to the lama's call? You want to wronged me Si'er without any evidence? No way! Don't say it's fake, even if it's true, he should come to kowtow to Si'er, thank Si'er for educating him on his father and his mother's unfilial son! I still want to come back to take revenge on our Si'er, and there is no royal law!"

It didn't take long for the gangsters in the city to learn that "Shorty Black" had been sent to prison by a blind, deaf and mute man.

After the second aunt came back from the army, she went home every three or five days to help her grandmother do housework, and her grandmother said that you are all married people, and you can't run home twice in three days. The second aunt smiled and leaned into her grandmother's ear and said something, and grandma was overjoyed when she heard it. The second aunt is pregnant.

When the village loudspeaker called for grandpa to answer the phone, grandma preemptively said, "I'll answer it." "Hurriedly answered the phone.

When he came back, he looked disappointed and said to his grandfather, "These two girls are here, why is the eldest daughter-in-law not pregnant yet?"

Grandpa looked at grandma's lost expression: "Think grandchildren have something wrong?"

The second aunt's son, Junjun, was born on the National Day, and the second aunt did not come back. I called and said that the army was training and could not ask for leave, and I originally wanted to name the child National Day, but the second aunt and mother-in-law said that there were already two National Days in the village, and the second sister-in-law said on the phone that it was called Junjun. The second aunt went back to her parents' house with Junjun after confinement, and she reluctantly returned to her mother-in-law's house after living for more than ten days.

When I was older, my mother told me that she had been pregnant once before giving birth to me, and she had a miscarriage because she accidentally fell and had a miscarriage. I didn't dare to tell my grandparents, for fear that they would be worried. Since I was pregnant, my father asked my mother to go home to recuperate, but my mother didn't want my father to work hard alone, so she told my father that she must be careful to protect me, and said that when my belly is big and inconvenient, I will come back to give birth.

When my father sent my mother back, Junjun was just over one year old, and after my mother came back with a belly of more than seven months, my grandmother's face was as brilliant as a blooming peony.

After my father and mother went to my second aunt's house to drink my nephew's first birthday wine, my father went back, saying that my mother would come back to stay a few more days when she was in labor.

On the first day of the lunar month, in the ardent anticipation of my family, I wept and broke away from my mother's body to come to this vibrant world.

On the day my mother was discharged from the hospital, my father was busy taking care of my mother, and my third aunt picked me up from the bed and said to my mother: "Sister-in-law, I'll go and let Si'er hug his eldest nephew and tell him that our family has added another Ding Jiakou." After saying that, he hugged me and went to the West House, and when he entered the house, he shouted to the uncle who was sitting by the kang: "Si'er, let's see who is coming?

When the little quilt wrapped around me lightly touched my uncle's chest, my uncle immediately took me from the third aunt's hands with both arms, as if he knew that I was coming, saw that I was coming, and then bowed his head to 'look' at me in my sleep, the dull expression on his face became extremely kind and gentle, and he just quietly 'looked' at me motionless, as if time had stopped and the world was quiet.

The third aunt later said to me: Seeing your uncle showing such a loving demeanor for the first time, at that moment she cried, tears slid down her cheeks and fell to the ground, she even heard the sound of tears breaking, and the whole world was silent at that moment. It was as if there were only three of us in the whole world, and the air seemed to stop flowing.

The sudden expression on the uncle's face was deeply engraved in her mind.

When the third aunt carried me back to my parents' house, her eyes were still a little red, and when she handed me to my mother, my mother asked her, "Why are you still crying?" It's as if he understands everything. I was very reluctant when I wanted to bring it back. ”

While helping my mother settle me, my grandmother said: "Sanya has been sentimental since she was a child, and she can cry when she reads villain books. "Grandma's words are the first to say. After speaking, his face was also kind.

My nickname was given by my grandfather, who said, "The child was born on the first day of the lunar month, and the nickname is called the first day of the new year, and it is easy to call." The child's name and the eldest are in charge, and you can write it when you get the household registration. ”

The next morning, the third aunt had just cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks for breakfast, and saw the uncle sitting on the chair suddenly stretching out his arms and hugging him, and shouted at the grandmother: "Mother, come and see, this morning the fourth child is going to hug the eldest nephew." After saying that, he ran to his parents' house, regardless of 3721 holding me, he ran to the east house, and gently handed me into the uncle's arms, and the uncle took it and hugged me and didn't let go. In addition to the mother's inconvenience to get out of bed, the family gathered around the uncle to see him hugging me, and my grandmother said happily: "Who said that my fourth son can't see it, my fourth child understands it in my heart." ”

Grandpa took over and said: "The commentator said: The heart is clear, not fake, not fake." ”

My full moon wine was changed to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and my father said: "It doesn't matter how many days late, everyone is busy on the first day of the new year, and I just drink when I am free on the fifth day of the new year." ”

My father went back to Jiangsu alone, my mother stayed at home to take care of me, during the day I was in the arms of my uncle and grandmother in addition to sleeping, and my mother could comfort me to sleep at night, when my uncle held me every day, it was like holding a baby, and only my grandmother felt that my uncle was tired to take me over.

Mother can't see how to intervene, and always tidy up the inside and outside of the house. My grandmother later said to me, "You were so well-behaved when you were a child, you didn't cry or make trouble, and the bigger you are, the naughty you are." ”

Summer is coming, uncle because of my reasons, has rarely appeared at the entrance of the village, there are different mentality to see the uncle holding me can not write are stupid left, persistently will be at home and grandma chatting for a long time, want to wait for the uncle can write a few words to understand the mystery of whether can echo the thoughts in his heart or relieve the confusion in his heart, in the end it is also in vain. Grandma also never turned outsiders away.

When Qiangzi and his boss entered the door, my uncle was holding me to play in the yard, and I was stretching out my little hand to rub my uncle's face for more than eight months, touching my chin and nose for a while, or gently pulling my ears and not letting go, and my uncle didn't dodge or dodge just let my hand touch back and forth on my face, and I giggled softly and laughed happily. Grandma was feeding her dozen hens, and as soon as Qiangzi entered the door, he said to grandma, "Auntie, feed the chickens?"

Grandma saw that it was Qiangzi and an unknown chubby man in his thirties who wore a white short-sleeved shirt came in, with a pair of bright eyes and an extraordinary bearing.

Busy said: "Qiangzi, when did you come back, I didn't see you during the New Year." ”

Qiangzi smiled and said, "I haven't come back for the New Year." He turned around and pointed to the man in the suit and said, "This is my boss, Mr. Liu, this time I went to Beijing to discuss business, and I came back to see our hometown, and I also came to see your family and my fourth brother." ”

Mr. Liu greeted him in Cantonese Mandarin: "Hello old man." ”

Grandma hurriedly said, "Hello boss, I also told Qiangzi when to thank you, thank you for sending us a TV set, come into the house and sit down." He turned around and called his mother: "Boss, daughter-in-law, make some tea." ”

Mr. Liu said: "A little bit is not enough to worry about, don't be so polite." The yard is quite spacious, so let's sit here and talk. ”

Qiangzi immediately moved a small bench to Mr. Liu, gave it to his grandmother, and brought a handful to sit at the small dining table together.

Qiangzi pointed to the uncle and said to Mr. Liu: "Mr. Liu, this is the fourth brother." ”

Mr. Liu stood up and walked to the uncle's eyes, looked at the uncle, reached out to hold the uncle's hand holding me, and said: "Hello little brother, I have heard of your name for a long time, and thank you for sending me a shrewd and capable Manager Wang, Manager Wang is very powerful, and it is my right-hand man." ”

Grandma said, "Boss Liu, Si'er can't hear me." ”

Mr. Liu let go of his hand and stood there and said: "I am like a thunderbolt about the little brother, and I listened to Manager Wang on the way here, saying that the little brother sent the underworld brother to prison, and also helped the fellow find the stolen farming cattle, which is very legendary, and the little brother is amazing." ”

The story of the uncle, even the strong son who was thousands of miles away was filled with his family.

At this time, the mother made a pot of tea and brought it to the small table, took the teacup and poured a cup by herself.

Grandma sighed lightly and said: "Alas, outsiders say so, and Boss Liu also believes it?" But Si'er, this child, has been isolated from the world since the slightest time, where can he write anything, none of our family has seen it, and it is all passed on by people outside who should not be true." ”

Mr. Liu walked to the table and sat down, and said with a serious face: "The old man can't say that, strange people must have strange things, we are so big in China and there are many capable people, I believe it very much." In fact, there are a lot of things that don't make sense with the current scientific method, and if it doesn't make sense, it doesn't exist, and I also know that we also have capable people like the little brothers, but their skills are different. ”

Mr. Liu speaks Cantonese Mandarin quite clearly, and everyone can understand what Mr. Liu means.

Grandma said: "Boss, the first time you came, I'll tell you something from my heart, I don't want Si'er to do anything, I am satisfied that he can become a normal person, Si'er is really too bitter." ”

My mother listened to them, thinking that my uncle had been holding me for a long time, so she walked over and took me from my uncle's hand, and then walked to my grandmother and stood.

Mr. Liu said to his grandmother: "Old man, I can understand your feelings, I heard Manager Wang say that the little brother cried his vocal cords, I was amazed after listening to it, I think ordinary people can't imagine the scene of the little brother suffering at that time." ”

Seeing Mr. Liu chatting with his grandmother, Qiangzi stood up and whispered to his mother: "You are the eldest sister-in-law, right? This is the eldest nephew? ”

Mother smiled and nodded.

Qiangzi sat down and continued to listen to his grandmother and Mr. Liu chatting about what happened to his uncle when he was a child.

While chatting, my grandmother heard her mother behind her shout softly, "Mom." ”

Grandma looked back and saw her mother pointing in the direction of the uncle, and the grandmother also looked over, at this time the uncle was holding a jujube cane on the ground and began to draw, and the grandmother said to Mr. Liu: "No, Si'er has started painting again, you can see it if you want to see it." ”

Mr. Liu said okay and walked to the uncle, the strong son reacted very quickly, and saw that there was still a pile of fine sand that was not used up when his father got married, so he ran over and picked it up, and then walked to the uncle, and gently and evenly sprinkled it on the range of the uncle's crutches, which means that the traces of the crutches are clearer and easier to see. When I got it, I stood next to Mr. Liu and watched it together, and my grandmother and mother also came over.

After about two minutes, the uncle stopped drawing, and the fine sand on the ground was full of twisted lines, and the lines repeated back and forth were superimposed on each other, and no one could understand them.

Grandma spoke first: "Qiangzi, can you still see it?" Qiangzi shook his head with a wry smile.

Grandma looked at her mother again, and she smiled and shook her head.

Grandma just wanted to ask Mr. Liu, but Mr. Liu himself spoke first: "I saw it!"

In one sentence, the three people present were stunned, and the strong son was the fastest, because he had seen it once after all, so he immediately understood, and said to Mr. Liu: "Mr. Liu, what words did you see?"

Mr. Liu turned his left hand into a palm, and his right index finger carefully compared it a few times in the palm of his left hand, and muttered in his mouth: "Walnut?" and then said: "Well, that's right, it's the word 'walnut'!"

Grandma was puzzled and said, "Walnut, what does this mean?"

Mr. Liu pondered for a while and shook his head, and everyone walked back to the small table and sat down when they saw that the uncle no longer painted.

Mr. Liu is still immersed in thinking, and Qiangzi is also meditating.

The mother opened her mouth and said to her grandmother: "Mom, you see that our mountains are full of walnuts, does the fourth brother want to use walnuts to thank Mr. Liu, the fourth brother thinks about it very thoughtfully." "My mother's Mandarin is nice and gentle. If you listen carefully, you can still hear a little Hunan accent.

Mr. Liu smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "It is said that walnuts are to supplement the brain, do you think that I am not smart enough and want me to eat more walnuts to make up for it." After saying that, he laughed first.

When grandpa came back, grandma had already left Mr. Liu and Qiangzi at home for lunch, and carefully made hand-rolled noodles in her hometown.

Grandpa listened to grandma's story, and immediately after eating, he prepared a big bag of walnuts.

Although Mr. Liu is not used to eating pasta, he still eats a big bowl of noodles made by his grandmother, and he also praises the deliciousness.

When Mr. Liu was leaving, he took out a paper bag from the pocket of his suit pants and said to his grandparents: "I didn't bring any gifts this time, please smile at this little meaning." ”

Grandpa and grandma resolutely refused to accept it, but the walnut was forced by grandma to let Qiangzi carry away, and Qiangzi said that my family also has it, and I also brought it to Mr. Liu. Grandma said: "Your walnut is your family's walnut, and this walnut was given to Mr. Liu by Si'er." Qiangzi listened to it and said that he would definitely carry it to Guangzhou for Mr. Liu.

Liu always returned to Guangzhou with doubts and strong sons.
