In the winter of 06, it was very cold, and the ice cubes on the eaves were as thick as an adult's arm, and the people in the mine couldn't come out of the house, but my mother was stubborn, and she had to scarce the money to pick up dry stones in this cold day.

In this way, he accidentally slipped on Shigan Mountain, and the man rolled into the coal conveyor along the solid snow, and the machine was moving, and the person was also swept away.

In '07, at the instigation of my grandmother, my dad found a new partner in the mine, this object was a widow with a daughter, two years younger than me.

It's just that their comfortable life hasn't passed for a few years, and my stepmother is gone again.

The substation suddenly leaked, and my stepmother happened to be on duty at the substation that day.

The two wives disappeared one after another, and the eight wives in the mine also gave my father the notoriety of a "gram woman".

In the summer of '09, my dad could no longer bear the rumors in the mine and the death of his two wives, so he threw himself into the river.

He was 45 years old.

The most difficult thing for the elderly in this world to accept is that the white-haired people send the black-haired people, and my grandmother can't accept and face this fact, and she can't afford to get sick.

The daughter that my stepmother brought to marry into my family was picked up by a distant relative of my stepmother's family, and I don't know where she went, but I only knew that I was completely an orphan.

When I came back to give my grandmother a funeral, I also dropped out of the coal technical school by the way.

Why did I drop out of school? Because my two uncles, my grandmother had just left, and the coffin lid had not yet been tightly covered, these two goods began to think about my grandmother's kiln before her death.

There is no door.

I got my milk in the coffin, and when I came down from the mountain, my two uncles didn't let me put a fart, so they pedaled two broken motorcycles and ran away.

As if I was afraid that I would die begging for nothing.

Bah!

It is not uncommon for labor and management to have other talents, and labor and management have hands and feet, and can support themselves.

Fortunately, when my dad threw himself into the river, he left me two inheritances.

An old kiln house, an account book.

Although this old kiln is broken, at least I can still have a shelter from the wind and rain to live, but this ledger is a little interesting, what is recorded in this ledger is not the money he lent to others, but the foreign debts he owes.

He's gone with his sleeves in the air, have you ever thought about me?

I'm still a student, how can I afford to pay off his debts?

No, as soon as I stepped into the house with my front foot, a creditor came in behind me.

The one who came in was an acquaintance, my father's former miner, Liu Genshe.

I thought that this Liu Gen society would comfort me first, after all, my two uncles had just staged a drama in front of me and abandoned me.

But I didn't expect that this Liu Genshe would go straight to the point for me.

"Zhang Bing, uncle can't twist the mother-in-law at home, your father owed your uncle 100 yuan before his death, and the money for your grandmother's death and the construction of the spirit shed, your uncle also made up 400 yuan...... Your two uncles slipped away too fast, uncle......"

I finally understood, why didn't my two uncles say a word to me and just slipped away.

It is natural for the father to repay the debts of the son, I admit this, but what about my grandmother and two sons who are alive and kicking, why should the cost of my grandmother's funeral shed and burial be paid by me, the grandson?

It's not that I'm so worried about this money, it's a matter of principle.

No matter where you go, this argument doesn't make sense.

I took out a red ticket from my trouser pocket and stuffed it into Liu Genshe's hand.

Liu Genshe was a little unhappy when he saw that I only stuffed a red ticket in his hand, and said to me in an old Shaanxi dialect: "Zhang Bing, what do you mean? A total of 500 yuan is pinched, why do you give 100 to your uncle?"

"This hundred yuan is what my father owed you when he was alive, and as for the four hundred yuan, you go and ask my two uncles if they want to go. He is my grandmother's son, and the money should have been paid by them. ”

Liu Genshe was stunned by my words for a long time and couldn't say a word, obviously he understood this truth.

Liu Genshe didn't speak, and began to look at my broken cave with wandering eyes.

Although I was in an irritable mood, Liu Genshe's eyes were also blatant, and it was difficult not to attract my attention.

I was confused, my dad left me with a broken cave with papier-mâché windows, and no decent furniture in the house.

To put it mildly, the four words of the four walls of the family are a bit of a lift up this broken cave.

Following Liu Genshe's pair of thief eyebrows, I also began to look at the broken cave that my father left for me.

This broken cave is less than thirty square meters, and the ground under his feet is also pitted, except for a wooden frame bed and a large cabinet with paint off, there is nothing else in it.

I really don't understand, what can be understood at a glance, why does Liu Genshe look so carefully.

It's like looking at a big girl with yellow flowers.

I really can't stand Liu Genshe's back and forth in my broken cave.

He looked at Liu Genshe with a straight face and said, "Uncle Liu, what are you worried about? ”

"Nothing, nothing, just look at ......"

When Liu Genshe waved his hand to me, I clearly saw panic in Liu Genshe's eyes.

Fluster!

Why is Liu Genshe flustered?

"That'...... Then Uncle Liu will leave first, and if there is anything difficult in the future, he will find Uncle Liu. ”

Liu Genshe patted his ass and left, I know that Liu Genshe's words are polite words, and I won't take it seriously.

This Liu Genshe had just left, and before I had time to take a sip of water, another debt collector caught up with me.

This time, there were five in one go.

I saw these five goods when I was a child, and they were all my father's co-workers when he was alive.

One hundred!

It's clearly written in my dad's ledger.

One hundred per person, just like paying the workers, I also experienced the taste of being a contractor.

I also paid back the money, but the five co-workers of my father, like Liu Genshe, began to blatantly look at my broken cave.

I'm so angry, just forget about one of them, I really can't bear it one after another.

"I said, uncles, what are you looking at in my house?"

I looked at the five "uncles" with a hanging face and said.

was treated like this by me, these five guys were the same as Liu Genshe, disgraced, and walked away step by step.

It's clean, and my ears are finally pure.

But what comes the longing is the future, how can I live from now on?

There is a total of 1,000 oceans in my trouser pocket, and this 1,000 oceans is still the tuition money refunded to me by the coal technical school.

You can't sit in this broken cave and wait for death, right?

And so on –

As I stood in the broken cave, my mind suddenly lit up.
