Duan Yi grew up in a hometown called Lu Township, because there was no subway, Duan Yi had to transfer from a taxi to a bus, and then from a bus to a motorcycle back to Lu Township, where he was born and raised. Although the furnace township is remote, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the blue sky and white clouds, the summer knows the chirp, and the golden rice fields in autumn are patchy, which can be regarded as a paradise, and the old people here also live a long life.

"You see this adopted son is back. ”

"He came back so quickly, he must have to fight with Duan De for his own grandfather's family property. ”

"I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have adopted him in the first place. ”

It was Duan Yi's two aunts who spoke quietly, they usually didn't give Duan Yi a good look, but they were very good to Duan De, after all, there was a blood relationship there, which would always make people feel more at ease.

"Grandma, what's wrong with grandpa?" Duan Yi re-entered Grandpa Duan's room, only to see Grandma Duan crying, Duan De sat aside and lowered his head.

"Your grandfather, your grandfather, he's gone!" Grandma Duan finally couldn't help it and cried out loud.

"Wow-" Duan Yi knelt directly in front of Grandpa Duan's bed. For the first time in his life, he felt the air freeze, and his cry was so hissing that it was so heartbreaking.

The Duan family was all immersed in great pain, but were the tears that everyone cried out really true feelings? Maybe it was really going to be greatly discounted here. Because many people cry really just to show others, in front of so many people, if you don't squeeze out some tears, you really can't express your inner "grief"!

Duan Yi asked the ins and outs of her grandfather's death, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted her grief-stricken grandmother, obviously she now needed someone to lend her a shoulder and let her snuggle up. Looking at Grandma Duan, who was getting haggard day by day, Duan Yi was also very distressed in his heart.

"Grandma, don't be too sad, grandpa was quite peaceful when he left, let him go peacefully!" Duan Yi comforted.

"He hasn't left yet, it's still in my heart!" Grandma Duan was confident. "This is what your grandfather left you. ”

Grandma Duan took out an old bracelet from her pocket, which Grandpa Duan had been carrying with him before his death, this bracelet Duan Yi knew that he had often heard his grandfather tell him when he was a child, this was handed down by his ancestors, so he naturally had to take care of it very much, not to let it touch the water, let alone let it be damaged, just like taking a bath, Grandpa Duan also wanted to put it away before taking a shower.

Duan Yi took the bracelet and took a closer look, it was strung together by 107 small red beads and 3 transparent beads. Each one is 6 mm in size, and although it is old, you can vaguely feel the breath of grandpa in it. Duan Yi didn't think much about it, so he stretched out his left hand, wrapped it around it three times, and put it on his wrist, not long or short, just right.

Duan De saw that his father left his belongings to this so-called adopted son, although he was his own, but he was not as good as this adopted son who was picked up outside, and his heart was even more unbalanced: "If my father gives him the villa storefront, it won't be over!"

Thinking of this, Duan De's face became even more ugly, although it was common to make his old man angry, but after all, he was his own child! The bracelet is worthless, just give it out, but the villa and the store are absolutely not givable. In fact, Duan De already had an idea in his heart about how to divide the family property, but he just lacked the east wind, and now that the east wind is coming, he must hurry up and start first.

……

After burying Grandpa Duan, seeing that Grandma's complexion had been bad, Duan Yi helped her thin hand into the bedroom, made the bed, let her lie down, and helped cover the quilt. Duan Yi looked at his grandmother's uncontrollable tears, and no matter how comforting he was, it was in vain, so he walked out of the room gently.

Night slowly fell, Duan Yi thought that grandma should have no appetite these days, so let's cook some lighter porridge, scooped some rice, and was about to wash it, when he heard the voices of several older grandfathers outside the courtyard, the younger one was only Duan De - Duan's biological son, he didn't go back, what else was going on so late?

In fact, in Duan Yi's heart, he was very sure that he was not filial, because in Duan Yi's impression, their father and son often quarreled, and they quarreled fiercely, but whether they were filial or not was not his own decision.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please inside. Duan De humbly introduced the uncles from the courtyard into the house, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"Uncle Duan, hello grandfathers!" Duan Yi saw Duan De greeting, and continued to cook his porridge after greeting. Watching the water in the pot slowly boil, the color changed from transparent to slightly white. But when I thought that Duan De was coming over with a few grandfathers so late, it must not be a good thing!

"I invite you uncles to come over today, just to let everyone witness that I, Duan De, is the only son of our old man, and now that he is gone, naturally all his property belongs to me. Duan De paused and looked in the direction of the villa, "The old man's villa and storefront are naturally mine!

Duan De continued to respectfully hand out cigarettes to the uncles, for fear that someone would not agree, but whenever he thought that he was the only son of the old man, the corners of Duan De's mouth could always show a smile that was imperceptible to others.

"Have you discussed this with your mother?, and what is her attitude?" said one of the uncles, after spitting out the cigarette he had just inhaled.

"It stands to reason that it should be given to Duan De, after all, he is the only son in the family. ”

"The so-called fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. ”

"You can't give this farm to Duan Yi, although his grandfather usually loves him very much, but after all, he is not biological. ”

The grandfathers didn't deliberately avoid anything, and they said it mercilessly when they saw Duan Yi beside him. Seeing everyone so direct, Duan Yi understood that he would always be just an adopted son in everyone's eyes. In the eyes of others, this is also a very humiliating thing, but Duan Yi feels that there is nothing, as long as he takes care of Grandma Duan, it is really more important than anything else.

"Duan De, we all support you. ”

"We're here today to settle this matter, you go and ask your mother, and everyone can make it clear. ”

"Yes, after all, we are outsiders, and it is only useful if your mother nods!"

"What the uncles said is, Duan Yi, you go and ask your grandmother to come out. Duan De gave Duan Yi a look.

Duan Yi didn't like Duan De to call him like this since he was a child, after all, he was raised by Grandpa Duan, so he naturally kissed his grandfather, as for his grandfather's son, daughter, and grandson, he didn't care. Duan Yi saw that the rice in the pot was almost cooked, he continued to take care of the porridge he was going to cook, and did not ask Grandma Duan.

Duan De said loudly again, what was different from before was that Duan De strengthened his tone this time, and stretched out his hand to Duan Yi, Duan De is a very good-looking person, if he loses face in front of your uncles, then how will he mix in the village in the future.

"No need to please, Grandma Duan won't agree. Duan Yi said unhurriedly.

Duan De really couldn't believe his ears, and his hand holding the cigarette couldn't help but shake. "What are you talking about?" Duan De couldn't help but ask, and several uncles didn't know what was going on, and they all cast questioning glances.

Looking at the rice grains slowly floating in the pot, Duan Yi guessed that the grandfathers were waiting for his explanation until now.

"Grandpa Duan and Grandma Duan discussed a year ago that they wanted to leave the villa store and the farm to me. I don't have the credentials at hand, but tomorrow you can come and ask Grandma in person. Duan Yi said it very plainly, and the resolute expression on his face could tell that he was really not lying.

"You, you, what are you talking about?" Duan De's eyes had a hint of despair, but he wouldn't give up before the matter came to the end, "Okay, you Duan Yi, we adopted you, you don't know how to repay the favor, and you even have to take away your grandfather's property, don't say what the old man said before, you have no evidence, how can we believe you? No, I'll go and ask my mother." ”

Duan Yi saw Duan De walking straight to Grandma Duan's room, Grandma Duan was sad and desperate, how could she be in the mood to care about this matter.

"Wait, let's discuss. Duan Yi stopped Duan De.
