"Stomble..."With the sound of footsteps, a young man walked in front of the little girl.

"I'll do it. As the words fell, the young man reached out and took the handlebar.

The little girl was stunned... Although the clothes in front of him were tattered... But the smile is charming, especially the eyes, which are shining with stars.

"Good. ”

The little girl seemed to be fascinated, and her little hand that was bruised from the cold let go of the handlebar...

......

It's an old yard and it looks pretty shabby from the outside.

Geng Mo pushed the old man into the small courtyard, and the little girl nervously followed beside her, rubbing her frozen little hands and not knowing where to put them...

When I first entered the courtyard, it was on the side, three or four meters wide, and it was all cement walls. The yard is not big, but there are also east houses and west houses.

There is also a one-meter-high side wall on the other side, adjacent to the yard next door.

The front of the hospital is not large, but there are also some vegetables planted, which can be regarded as simple and simple.

Geng Mo had the strength in his hands, pushed the old man to the door of the east house in the direction of the little girl's gaze, and with a change of his hands, he carried the old man into the house with the car steadily.

At this time, the old man's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.

After entering the house, the old man patted Geng Mo's arm: "Ahem... Little Yan'er, go and greet the guests to drink some hot water. ”

Lin Chong snorted, sat on the stool with Erlang's legs crossed, and kept sighing, the room was really warm...!

Geng Mo hugged the old man to the hot kang and filled the kang with some charcoal, and then smiled innocently: "Old man, you rest, my brothers and I have to go to find a house." ”

The old man took Geng Mo's hand and sat on the side of the kang: "Young man, you have a good heart... Tell Grandma what you're doing in town?"

Geng Mo took a cup of hot water handed over by the little girl, took a sip, and held it in his hand to keep warm: "I'm going to take refuge with a relative, hehe, I've lost the worm talk." ”

"Can't find anyone?" the old man came closer, "So you want to settle down first?"

"Hmm. Geng Mo nodded.

"Is that your brother?" The old man pointed to Lin Chong, who was sitting on the side: "On such a cold day, he is still bareheaded, and the young man is in good health, right?"

"He is one of my brothers, his name is Lin Chong, the child is young and doesn't know how to be polite, don't be surprised. ”

As soon as Lin Chong heard this, he hurriedly sat upright and rested his hands on his lap flatly.

It's almost noon... He didn't want to stay in the snow and ice anymore, and he didn't want to go out even if he was looking for a house... It's so TM cold!

"It's okay, it's okay," the old man smiled and waved his hand, "Little child, it's quite energetic." ”

"Hehe," Lin Chong heard this, looked at the half-paralyzed grandmother on the bed and smiled silly, scratched his head again, and drank the hot water in the cup in one gulp... It's so warm.

"Who are you?"

Geng Mo took out his residence card from his pocket and handed it over: "We came from Hyun Bo City, and there is no one at home." ”

"I just heard you're looking for a house?"

Geng Mo raised his head and instantly understood the meaning of the old man in front of him... He asked tentatively, "What do you mean, old man?"

The old man patted Geng Mo's palm, and tears slowly flowed out: "Let me tell you this... Yanzi's parents left early, I was paralyzed again this year, the whole family was counting on the relief money from the mine to live, and there was no man in the family, I couldn't die for a while, and I had to take medicine, but I was bitter Yanzi's baby... You see, if you two don't dislike it, you two will live in Westinghouse, and you don't need to rent it, and you usually have something to help you with, okay?"

Hearing these words from the old man... Geng Mo felt uncomfortable too, he was about to speak, but he was stopped by her again...!

"Listen to me, young man," said the old man, wiping tears from his eyes, "Grandma is not blind... I think you're also a good person, and you're still from a poor family... If I die that day, you will treat the swallow as a family member?... Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you see that our swallows are also smart, you can live if you have the strength to do it these years, if you don't dislike it, when the swallow grows up, I will be allowed to be your daughter-in-law, okay, young man?..."

Looking at the old man's pleading words, Geng Mo really couldn't find any refusal... He was silent for a moment, then squeezed the old man's hand and said seriously: "Old man, don't talk about it... You and Yanzi will be my family from now on!" Then he turned his head to look at the slightly frightened little girl behind him, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Don't be afraid, Yanzi, I will be your brother in the future." ”

"Brother?... Brother?"

The girl murmured softly... There was a hint of anticipation in her flustered eyes, she had a brother?......

Is this true???

"Well," Geng Mo pulled her over, stroked her little head as gently as possible, and said slowly: "In the future, I will be your brother." ”

"Come... Come on," Lin Chonghu stood up and beckoned to Yanzi: "Come over and call my brother, I'll take you to buy candy to eat." ”

"Hehe..."

Geng Mo smiled, turned around and took out the close-fitting silver ticket from his arms, pointed out the one with a maximum denomination of one hundred taels, and stuffed it into the old man's hand: "Grandma, you take this first." ”

"Oh, no, no, no, can't ask for it. "The old man's tears flowed even more...

Xiaoyanzi is called Wu Xiaoyan, and the old man lying on the bed is called Cao Zhaoxia, who is the older generation of the old Wu family.

After the old man passed away, he worked hard to bring up his son, married a daughter-in-law, hugged his granddaughter, and his son was still a foreman in the mine when he reached middle age.

The daughter-in-law is at home with her husband and children, and the old man can finally be idle... Usually, you can rub mahjong with the neighbors and chat with the widow Peng next door......

Watching my granddaughter grow up day by day, my son is almost forty... But the daughter-in-law's belly never bulged again...

In those years, the old man's face was a little unsightly...!

Looking back on those days, regardless of my daughter-in-law's tired body when she came back from work... Grandma Cao threw all the work at home to her to do... You are not allowed to eat on the table, and you will scold at every turn...!

And the filial son can only hide in the quilt every night and persuade him......

......

The bad news came too suddenly!

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, it struck Grandma Cao's heart!!

Then the daughter-in-law went crazy too... Ran away......

The old man, with his white-haired granddaughter, knelt in front of the collapsed mine, crying powerlessly......

How did those years or two come by, the old man now thinks back... It seems far away.

She didn't want to think about it anymore.

There was no pillar in the family, no money, and Yanzi was forced to quit the school......

That time, Grandma Cao was fetching water by the well, and the ground was slippery... She accidentally slipped and fell to the ground with a bucket!

Then I couldn't get out of bed, and the burden of the family fell on the little shoulders of the swallow......

It's not that the old man hasn't thought about seeking death, but... But she really can't rest assured that her little granddaughter...!

At this moment, I saw the handsome young man in front of me...

Although it was the first time we met, I don't know how it ...... The old man felt very relieved, as if he had found the belonging of his granddaughter.
