Xingzhou kiln coal mine, is the earliest coal mine established by Yanzhou Mining Bureau, is called a mine by the locals, Xingzhou kiln coal mine has a long history of more than 100 years, according to records, during the Opium War, Xingzhou kiln coal mine was established, until 1937 when the Japanese army invaded Yanzhou, the little devil occupied the Xingzhou kiln coal mine, and even left a tragic labor mass grave, in 1945, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was won, Xingzhou kiln was occupied by the warlord Yan Xishan, until the autumn of 1948, Yanzhou was peacefully liberated, and then returned to the hands of the people.

Li Jiajie and Liu Yichen were born in the mountains of this mine, the two have not been back to Xingzhou kiln mine for more than a year, this time because of the small hair that they befriended, the second child who worshipped when they were children, Jin Erdan is getting married, and he did not post to the brothers, but the righteous Li Jiajie thinks that Ergedan did not find himself and Liu Yichen, so he deliberately went back to Xingzhou kiln to see.

The two of them took a bath, changed into dry cleaning clothes, recuperated their spirits, and returned to Xingzhou Kiln Coal Mine Street in good spirits. Some old retired men, four or five in a pile, five or six in a group, playing chess, playing poker, saw the two brothers who were glamorous, greeted the two brothers from afar, and greeted: "Ah! Jiajie and Xiaochen want to come back?" and some greeted: "Jiajie is coming back with a fortune?"

That voice or euphemism, or flattery, or hemp face (buried) words, for the two brothers indifferent, the brothers were originally the two scourges of Xingzhou kiln, although after adulthood, the two have never done anything to harm the neighbors.

Jiajie and Xiaochen passed by their half-collapsed residence, glanced at each other, and shrugged their shoulders like a foreigner in the translated film, as if they were helpless and walked towards Jin Erdan's house.

Jin Erdan is going to get married tomorrow, so today the house is already very lively, there are still a lot of people standing in the courtyard, most of them are relatives of Jin Erdan's family, some who know Jiajie and Xiaochen, they are all stunned, I don't understand why these two "nuisance ancestor monkeys" and "little scourges" ran back, and someone shouted directly into the house: "Erge Dan, Erge Dan, you come out, Jiajie and Xiaochen are here." ”

Jiajie and Xiaochen became a rare thing in the courtyard, and were watched by everyone, at this time, they heard the chaotic sound in the house, and then Jin Erdan ran out, and saw that in the courtyard, there were really two plague gods Li Jiajie and Liu Xiaochen, and his face instantly became unnatural, and then he pulled a person's arm and wrist with one hand, and said, "Why are you two coming back." "Forced to go out.

At this moment, Li Jiajie's heart was completely cold, and he instantly understood that it was his wishful thinking, Liu Yichen stared at Ergean angrily, Ergean was looked at by the two, and his heart immediately became empty, and his eyes began to wander.

Liu Yichen was very angry, shook his arm vigorously, shook Erge Dan, and then said: "Erge Dan!

When Er Ge Dan heard this, he hurriedly said with a smile: "Where is it, where is it, the house is very messy, let's go outside to chat, let's talk outside." ”

Liu Yichen's fiery temperament, regardless of everyone's strange eyes, stretched out his index finger, tapped Ergedan's head a few times, and then pointed to Ergedan's eyes, and said impulsively: "Ergedan, don't come to this set, Lao Tzu and Jiajie are here to congratulate you, not to find trouble, do you understand? As he spoke, he walked angrily out of the courtyard.

Li Jiajie was not only cold at this time, but also embarrassed, but Li Jiajie was not as impulsive as Liu Yichen, smiled at the relatives of the Jin Erdan family in the courtyard, gave a punch, and said apologetically: "Let the aunts, aunts, and uncles see the smiles, and they don't mean anything else when they come back, just listen to the Ergedan who is going to get married, and come over to congratulate." As he spoke, he took out a stack of great heads from his arms, not to mention five or six, and then looked around, looking at the new pair posted on the wall, Li Jiajie was also angry, and tore off the pile of great heads, wrapped them, put them on a table in the courtyard, and hugged them a few times and said: "I came in a hurry, I forgot to prepare a red envelope, I'm embarrassed to see a smile, see a smile." ”

As he spoke, Li Jiajie turned back, walked up to Jin Erdan, patted Jin Erdan's shoulder, and said softly: "Ergedan, the two of them have been young and ignorant, and they have scourged each other, but they didn't owe you anything, I don't know if you still remember, how did the two brothers protect you back then, and after today, we will be strangers." As he spoke, he went out of the small courtyard to chase Liu Yichen.

The relatives of Jin Erdan's family in the small courtyard saw that the two brothers had gone out, and they all began to point out Jin Erdan, and someone said, "Ergedan, how can you get along with them? Others said, "Ergedan, you have to learn well, and you can't go down the wrong path." ”

Jin Erdan, who was still guilty just now, listened to the persuasion of the relatives in the courtyard, and in a blink of an eye his face became full of spring breeze, and said to the relatives in the courtyard: "Uncle, aunt, you understand, wasn't you ignorant when you were a child......? As he spoke, he grabbed the red envelope on the table, entered the house, and hurriedly went to find someone to write a new pair.

Li Jiajie took a few steps and caught up with Liu Yichen, who was walking in front, and both of them began to bow their heads and remain silent, walking together, with ......mixed feelings in their hearts.

The brothers' father was originally a worker in a mine and a mining team, but in a local coal mine gas explosion, both fathers were stuffed in the pit and never came out again. Li Jiajie's mother suffered from depression because of her husband's illness, and she couldn't get a drop of water after a long time, and finally dehydrated and followed Jiajie's father Li Cunzhi away. Li Jiajie became an orphan and lived with his father Li Cungen, who received the pension.

Liu Yichen's mother is heartless, not long after the man died, he ran away with a man from a foreign country, and after a long time, Liu Yichen learned intermittently from the mouth of his neighbor that his mother was not his own mother, he was a dead father and a mother who ran away, and brought a child for adoption.

Since then, Li Jiajie and Liu Yichen, the hard-working orphans, have become brothers because they have the same life experience. Getting along with Jin Erdan is entirely because Jin Erdan in school looks like he is underbeaten, and he is always bullied, Li Jiajie's eldest father Li Cungen's home is close to Jin Erdan's house, which is considered a neighbor, so Li Jiajie often protects Jin Erdan from being bullied, and also takes Jin Erdan to play together.

When the three children went to the seventh grade, it happened that the semiconductors were broadcasting the storytelling "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the three children were fascinated by listening to it, learning the passage of Taoyuan Tie Yi, and in the spring of April, they found a place where the peach blossoms were blooming, inserted three wooden sticks and sticks as incense, and became brothers with different surnames.

The three of them were as big as they were in the same year, so they had to press the month, Li Jiajie became the eldest brother, Jin Erdan became the second brother because he was the second brother in his own family, and Liu Yichen had to be the third brother. Since then, these three children have also been blessed and shared with hardships.

The so-called blessing is that Jin Erdan, who has a father and mother, will sneak out some delicious food from home and share it with the other two brothers;

Another year passed in a flash, and the three children finished the eighth grade (at that time, the primary school was five years, and the middle school was three years) and no longer went to school.

Li Cungen is a kind person, but also a coal miner, receiving his brother Li Cunzhi's pension, taking care of Li Jiajie is not bad, eating and wearing never let Li Jiajie be twisted (wronged), and he also takes care of Liu Yichen, a child who is not close, because he has the character of a good man, he is kind and honest, and was transferred to the locomotive factory as a purchasing salesman, which is considered to have a bright future, but on the way to the Northeast on a business trip to purchase accessories, Li Cunzhi disappeared mysteriously and has not been heard from since.

Li Jiajie was 14 years old that year, and he was still a half-grown child who found the locomotive factory and asked about the whereabouts of his eldest father, and the locomotive factory's reply to Li Jiajie was: "Your eldest father ran away with a huge amount of money for purchases." Li Jiajie naturally wouldn't believe these words to deal with children, but because he was still a child, he had no place to reason, so in the future, he could only live an orphan life with Liu Yichen and Liu Yichen.

Two and a half old boys, they always have to live, Li Jiajie still has a pension in the mine, but because of Li Cungen's disappearance, the pension is gone, the two guys have to start stealing chickens and dogs for a living, not long after, Xingzhou kiln coal mine, every household either loses a chicken or a missing egg, and it didn't take long for the two brothers to be blocked by the police at the door of the house and received the police station.

Because these two boys were not old enough, and because there was no one to take care of them, the police could not detain the two and a half children for stealing a chicken and touching an egg, but after verbal education and criticism, they were released.

Since then, Li Jiajie and Liu Yichen have become even more unscrupulous, because the police can't control themselves, and for a while, the two have become two small scourges in Xingzhou Kiln Coal Mine.

Li Jiajie and Liu Yichen were not restrained, and finally broke into a catastrophe one day, when stealing scrap iron from the mine, they were found by the security guard who protected the mine, and when the security guard stepped forward to drink, Liu Yichen took advantage of the security guard's inattention, found a shovel handle, and hit the back of the security guard's head, the security guard rolled his eyelids at that time, fainted, and was sent to the hospital by someone who came in time, the security guard was rescued, but his brain became unclear, and his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted.

The police once again blocked Li Jiajie and Liu Yichen at the door, this time the two of them had no good luck, because they reached the age of fourteen, they were directly sent to the juvenile detention center, and the two of them were sentenced to three years regardless of coercion and deputy, Li Jiajie was detained in the Yunzhou City Juvenile Detention Center, and Liu Yichen was detained in the Yanzhou City Juvenile Detention Center .......
