Nanchuan is located in the southwest of the motherland, and Hu Dekai and Xu Lai both live in that remote mountain village.

Xiao Xu is very yearning for the outside world, but there is no such condition at home, he not only wants to leave home once and go to the outside world to see, hoping to break out of his own future.

But it was very difficult to leave the mountains and go outside, far more difficult than it was countless times more difficult for him to go out of the village to catch the market.

Xu Lai is the youngest son in the family, with two older sisters, his father died early, and the three sisters and brothers were raised by the hard-working hands of the old mother.

But there is not much land in the family, the eldest sister married relatively early, and on the day of marriage, the eldest sister just took a red wedding dress from the house, as well as a set of bright red futons made for her by her mother and second sister, and walked to her brother-in-law's house on two legs.

He, who is a younger brother, has nothing to give to his sister, so he squatted on the mountain for two days and sent it to his brother-in-law's house with a nest of pheasants.

His brother-in-law's home is actually similar to his family, not much richer, only more than three acres of land, his parents are gone, and there are no brothers and sisters in the family.

Xu Lai's eldest sister married in the past, and there were not too many rights and wrongs, and the two of them were quite self-sufficient in life, and there was some surplus at the end of the year, and they would help the old Xu family.

Within a few years, the second sister also got married, and when she got married, she didn't want to take away the things in the family, and the two sisters felt sorry for this younger brother and left him all the valuable belongings in the family.

But Xu Lai couldn't help it, and in a bad mood, he sent all the poultry in the family to the eldest sister's family, and gave his own land to the second sister's family.

Told the two sisters to help take care of the old mother, while the old mother was still in good health, he took the opportunity to go out to work, earn a few years of money back, and also subsidize the family.

In fact, the old mother has always disagreed with this matter, and his two sisters do not want the younger brother to go out and suffer.

The people in the mountains have been like this for generations, and no one has thought about changing anything, but his two brothers-in-law are quite enlightened, knowing that if he doesn't go out for a spin, eighty percent will not give up, so one simply took out some money from the family to pay him for the journey, and the other took advantage of the darkness to send him to the train station overnight.

Xu Lai, who was very grateful to his two sisters and brother-in-law, finally had a chance to walk out of the mountains.

The outside world was far more grand than he had imagined, full of things he had never seen before, and the girls outside looked more watery than the girls in the mountains.

He was gone for eight years, and when he saved up money and planned to go home to see his old mother, he found that many things had changed when he returned to his hometown.

The eldest sister has two children in the family, and the eldest son is already a teenager and a half-year-old boy, and he looks energetic, and his eyebrows and eyes are likable at a glance.

The year he left home, this eldest son was only four or five years old, running all over the mountains in open crotch pants, and when they met now, they were all big children, and the younger son was just over two years old, it was the time of innocence and romance, but his eyes looked a little dull.

Later, I learned that the youngest son of the eldest sister's family had a difficult birth when he was born, and the umbilical cord strangled his neck, almost suffocated to death, and he was also intellectually deficient.

The second sister's family is not bad, a son and a daughter, although life is a little tight, but with the land he left, it is barely passable.

The old mother has been thinking about her son all these years, and she does look a lot older, but fortunately, the children in the family are more filial and in good spirits.

After seeing the old mother and living at home for half a month, Xu Lai couldn't stay anymore, he liked the way of life in the city and the living environment there.

After only half a month, he couldn't sit still.

Unexpectedly, it had only been a little more than two years since he returned to the city, and he suddenly received a call from home, which was from the second sister, saying that Hu Desheng had an accident.

This Hu Desheng is Hu Dekai's elder brother, the first child of Xu Lai's eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law, who likes to stick to him since he was a child, and has the closest relationship with him.

At that time, the second sister didn't say it very clearly on the phone, but said that Hu Desheng was causing trouble outside, and the township police station wanted to arrest people.

What is his nephew like, can Xu Lai still not know?

It's nothing more than a small thing like a fight with someone, and you can make trouble at the police station?

He didn't understand that things were far from simple.

After his continuous questioning, he realized that Hu Desheng had been reported, and the police dug out an adult magazine in his bag.

This thing was bought by Xu Lai when he was working outside, and he put it at home when he returned to his hometown, but he didn't expect this thing to be inadvertently discovered by his nephew.

If it was a simple internal treatment, this matter was actually not a big deal, but when he was directly reported, the police came and searched things directly from him, and the person was taken away.

After hearing about this, Xu Lai regretted it at the time, he shouldn't have brought this thing home in the first place, it hurt his nephew!

Xu Lai, who hurriedly packed up his things and went home, rushed to the house in the fastest time.

It's a pity that there was still no time, the police only gave Hu Desheng some education, confiscated the contraband, and did not punish him severely, but this incident happened inside the school after all, and it quickly spread outside.

Although Hu Desheng's father didn't have much money, he had never been humiliated like this in his life, and on the way home to take Hu Desheng, he beat and scolded him.

When I returned home, I felt angry when I thought about it, and picked up the wooden stick at home and beat Hu Desheng violently, Hu Desheng was beaten on the head and bled out, and this scene was also seen by the young Hu Dekai.

The brother who usually treats him best was beaten, and he didn't even know why, but he saw that his brother's face was covered with blood, and he was beaten very miserably, so scared that he hid under the table and didn't dare to come out.

It was on that day that Hu Desheng couldn't think of jumping into the river to commit suicide, and the body was found and fished up early the next morning, and the body was already stiff.

When Xu Lai rushed home, Hu Desheng had already been hastily rolled up by his father with a straw mat and planned to dig a pit at the bottom of the mountain and bury it on the spot.

For this matter, Xu Lai had a big quarrel with his eldest brother-in-law, and because of the burial of the corpse, the two sides had a stalemate.

Xu Lai's eldest sister fainted on the spot because she couldn't stand this stimulation, and this fall has not been relieved for several years.

Until Xu Lai received a call from the second sister's family and rushed home, the eldest sister's family was no longer there, and Hu Dekai was left with a child.

Over the years, Xu Lai has never dared to go home, because he feels sorry for his eldest sister's family, if it weren't for his magazine, Hu Desheng would not have had this fate.

The only one who knew that he brought this magazine back, only the old mother, but the old mother didn't say anything about it, but now the eldest sister's family is in a big disaster, and the whole family is in a tragic death, leaving only a stupid little son, and the old mother wants to raise it, but she is also powerless.

This time Xu came to the house without flinching, and left his hometown with his teenage nephew, after all, the child is innocent after all, everything that happened in his family is the heaviest burden for him, maybe a change of environment is not a bad thing for him.

Originally, it would have been easier for him to go out and find a job alone, but now with a child, he must make a good choice and try to have time to take care of Hu Dekai.

Fortunately, Hu Dekai is also very smart, no matter what he does, he can basically learn it as soon as he learns it.

In the few years that he worked outside, Hu Dekai even made money faster than him, and when he was in the fireworks factory, if Hu Dekai was not an adult at that time, the owner of the fireworks factory would not even want to let him go.

In the past few years, the uncle and nephew have traveled to many places, digging in mines, working as netkeepers at sea, and even working as fish killers on the beach.

After a few years, the two also saved a sum of money in their hands, and finally settled in Pengcheng, and at the same time bought some things, planning to start their own stove and open a small fireworks factory.

After a few years of wandering outside, the relationship between the two was a little better, but after arriving in Pengcheng, Hu Dekai became more and more like his brother, and whenever Xu Lai saw Hu Dekai's face, he would always think of the nephew who was killed by himself.

For his nephew, his heart has always been full of guilt, and this matter has always been a knot in his heart, and even his wife doesn't know about these things.

Hu Dekai has been working with him for several years, and he has never received a penny, in fact, it is not that he does not give it, but that he does not dare to give the money to Hu Dekai.

Xu Lai himself is an example, when he first arrived in a city, he was very curious about everything, and in those years, because of curiosity, he suffered a lot of losses, he thought that as long as he looked at the money, he could see Hu Dekai strictly.

He helped Hu Dekai save all this money, and even the house that Peng Cheng bought was written in Hu Dekai's name, I just hope that in a few years, when Hu Dekai reaches his age, he will find someone to tell him about his family, and then this family will be theirs, and Xu Lai will be worthy of his dead eldest sister.

As for the fact that he never spent the New Year with Hu Dekai, a large part of him was willing to dare not face him, and the guilt in his heart tortured him for more than ten years, and he didn't even dare to look at Hu Dekai at all, for fear that he would not be able to bear it in the end, and tell him the truth about the things of the year.

Unexpectedly, all his strict requirements for Hu Dekai finally became the reason why Hu Dekai hated him.

In the end, in order to get out of his control, Hu Dekai actually ordered this small workshop out at once.

Xu Lai and his wife were sentenced to five and a half years in prison by the court for counterfeiting and selling counterfeits and employing minors, and he has not seen his nephew for almost a year.

It wasn't until today that Ding Fan found him, and he finally understood that what he was most worried about had happened after all.

The eldest sister's child, he didn't take good care of it, Hu Desheng was killed because of his negligence, and now Hu Dekai is like this again, although his idea is good, and the purpose is good, but he is wrong in method.

He pushed Hu Dekai too hard, at a rebellious age, too a child, and the final result he saw must not be what he wanted to see.

With no children and no experience in raising children, Xu Lai crossed the river by feeling the stones along the way, and finally had bad luck and fell on his back.

When Xu Lai explained everything, his face was already full of tears.

Ding Fan could see that his tears were not for himself, but because of guilt, because he failed to take care of Hu Dekai, and watched his nephew embark on the road of crime, that kind of self-embarrassment.
