The black lights are blinding, and there is a dead silence everywhere in the village, and there is nowhere to go! Zhang Shaoyu thought about it and decided to simply go to the stove house and get together all night.

Tang Kui poured a full pot of water into the cauldron and lit the firewood.

The two brothers sat by the door of the stove where the firewood was delivered, and the firelight reflected their faces red, which also drove away a lot of chill and sleepiness.

"Kuizi, did Xiaofang drop out because she couldn't pay the tuition?" asked Zhang Shaoyu.

"Well, a few years ago, because my mother suddenly fell ill and spent a lot of money in the family, my sister is very sensible, my mother is sick, and there is someone to do at home, and the tuition is really not enough, so she chose to drop out of school and take care of her mother at home. ”

"Long-term work is not an incurable disease, but it must be recuperated in time, otherwise a minor illness can become a major illness. Zhang Shaoyu said: "You have to think of a way to make your mother's health better as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Brother Zhang, this is all caused by my uselessness and inability to earn money to support my family. Tang Kui grabbed his hair with both hands, and fell into deep self-blame.

"Money, money, money! The only way to solve Tang Kui's family's problems is money!" Zhang Shaoyu said secretly in his heart.

Seeing that Tang Kui's family was poor in this situation, Zhang Shaoyu's heart was not very comfortable. Since dinner, he has been thinking about how to help Tang Kui solve his urgent needs.

He himself has always been in a difficult financial situation, and of course knows how sad it is to live without money. If he hadn't come to Tang Kui's house, he wouldn't have been able to care if he didn't know, but now that he was in this poor family in the midst of water and fire, could he pretend that he hadn't seen anything and was indifferent?

"Damn, if I don't care, who else will come to help Kuizi! Since I have always regarded Kuizi as a brother, his family's affairs, of course, are also my affairs, if I have the ability to reach out when he needs help the most, fuck, then am I still worthy of talking about the word brother? Although I need money very much, but Lao Tzu can't save him because he saves money, and he can't do it because he doesn't save money, and the thing that blasphemes the sacred term brother is definitely not my Zhang Shaoyu! Damn, Lao Tzu still has some money on his card, so he just threw all the cash on his body to Kuizi first. Four thousand yuan should be able to help Kuizi's family solve many problems. ”

After making up his mind in his heart, Zhang Shaoyu took out all the cash on his body, leaving only more than 80 yuan of change as the travel fee back to the county seat, and stuffed the remaining 3,800 yuan into Tang Kui's hand, and said: "Don't you still have some money on you, first make up 4,000 yuan and give it to your mother, saying that you have accumulated it outside this year." ”

"Brother Zhang, I can't take this money, I already owe you too much......"

", Sensei tell me this nonsense, let you take it, it's not for you, it's for your younger siblings, and buy your mother some delicious food to replenish your body. ”

"Brother Zhang, I can't take you this money, I ......"

", since you call me brother, just listen to me, take it, and talk nonsense with me, I'm really anxious with you!"

Tang Kui saw that Zhang Shaoyu was really angry, so he had to bite his teeth and hold the thick stack of hundred-yuan bills tightly in his hand, and suddenly, he knelt down on Zhang Shaoyu's knees.

"Tang Kui, you grandson, what the fuck are you doing!" Zhang Shaoyu rushed over, trying to drag Tang Kui up from the ground, "You stand up for Lao Tzu!"

Don't look at Tang Kui's small size, but he has real kung fu, his legs are vigorous, and his knees seem to be nailed to the ground and take root, no matter how hard Zhang Shaoyu tries, he can't drag him up from the ground.

Tang Kui said with a firm expression: "Brother Zhang, you just let me kowtow to you, I will feel better in my heart......"

"Get up! I'll let you stand up for me!" Zhang Shaoyu saw that he couldn't move him, put his hands down, and said in a deep voice with a straight face: "Kuizi, the man has gold on his knees, and he only kneels to heaven and earth and his father! If you knock this head down, I, Zhang Shaoyu, will not recognize you as a brother from now on!"

"Brother Zhang......"

"I'll say it one last time, stand me up!"

Two lines of tears flowed from Tang Kui's eyes, and he stood up as he said.

"Kuizi, you are a human being, you will have difficulties, what are brothers going to do? It is to help each other and encourage each other at the most critical time! I treat you as a brother, you need help now, if I don't help you, who will help you?" Zhang Shaoyu said calmly: "I am not a charity ambassador, there are more people in the world who are poorer than your family, I will not care, and I can't take care of it, but you are different, you are my brother, your family is also my family, Kuizi, we are good brothers, if you and I change places, will you ignore it?" That's the end of it, don't you take it as an example, OK?"

"Brother Zhang, thank you, I owe you, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it off in this lifetime......" Tang Kui said with his head down and choked up.

Zhang Shaoyu patted him on the head and scolded with a smile: "Damn, what a big deal, isn't it just a few thousand yuan, look at your little interest." ”

"Brother Zhang, you don't know, this is not just a few thousand yuan, this is a love that can't be repaid, this love, I'm afraid that I can't ...... it even if I take my little life Tang Kui."

Zhang Shaoyu interrupted Tang Kui's words and said with a smile: "Damn, Kuizi, is it so serious as you said? If you can't pay it back, don't give me this bit of dick all day long, you kid don't think about it for me all day long, let's think more about how to build a big house for the family for Xiaojin and Xiaofang to go to college!"

Tang Kui's mouth was a little clumsy, he didn't say more, but he secretly swore in his heart that his life no longer belonged to him Tang Kui, but to Brother Zhang, as long as anyone dared to touch Brother Zhang in the future and dared to be unfavorable to Brother Zhang, even if he was desperate, he would have to beat the other party into the eighteenth layer of hell.

Seeing that Tang Kui was silent, Zhang Shaoyu smiled and shook his head. With his understanding of Tang Kui's character, he knows that this kid is 100% of the donkey type, and he is the kind that admits death, don't look at his silence now, in fact, he must be thinking about his thoughts of gratitude in his heart.

Since the day he met Tang Kui, Zhang Shaoyu felt that this kid had a taste for him, and he had always regarded him as a brother, helping him again and again, Zhang Shaoyu felt that he was doing something that should be done, and he never thought that there would be anything in return. But now it seems that Tang Kui's mind is a bit against his original intention, so Zhang Shaoyu thought about finding a suitable opportunity to dispel Tang Kui's idea of repaying him with kindness.

The scene of the two in the stove house has been secretly watched by a pair of old eyes outside the window. Grandpa Tang came out to relieve himself, and accidentally found Zhang Shaoyu and Tang Kui chatting in the stove house, and he happened to see the whole process of Tang Kui kneeling to Zhang Shaoyu.

Grandpa Tang walked in from the outside wearing a torn cotton jacket, there were tears flashing in his old eyes, although his back was a little scab, but when the door stood like a kind of majestic Nansong, he glanced at Zhang Shaoyu with appreciation, and then said to Tang Kui with a majestic look: "Kuiwa, grandpa is very relieved and very happy, I didn't expect you to go out to work in the city this time, and you can make such a good friend, and I didn't expect that in the modern new society, you can still see the word 'righteousness' between the robe brothers." Kuiwa, although you haven't been able to make a lot of money back, but you have made such a good brother as Brother Shaoyu, this is the most precious wealth of your life, and it is also the blessing of our Tang family, love and righteousness are priceless, this is by no means measured by money. Kuiwa, grandpa has taught you what loyalty is since you were a child, I don't want to nag you if you have extra words, you remember, receive the grace of people's water, when the spring reciprocates, this is the descendant of our Tang family!"

Tang Kui hung his head and said like a nail in the iron: "Grandpa, I will never forget!"

"Shame!" Zhang Shaoyu learned the etiquette of the ancients on TV, arched his hand towards Grandpa Tang, and said, "Grandpa Tang, you can be ashamed of yourself if you say this." ”

Grandpa Tang said: "Shaoyu, my old man's blessing to Tokuiva, I will sell the second old man in front of you, let me tell you how our brother Pao understood the word 'friend' in friends back then." ”

Zhang Shaoyu and Tang Kui glanced at each other and listened solemnly.

Grandpa Tang said: "The word 'friend', there are four points in it, which represents tears, which means that friends have intersected, and there are countless tears; the two on the left indicate that some friends can leave you alone, or even betray you; however, the two vertical knives on the right, that means that some people can stick knives in the ribs for friends, and you Shaoyu brother, it belongs to the right vertical knife, which is a real friend!" You can leave Kuiwa alone, but you don't, therefore, Kuiwa works with you, I am very relieved, Kuiwa, grandpa wants you to swear by the ancestors of the Tang family, when Shaoyu needs help in the future, you must give me an unconditional knife in his ribs!"

Tang Kui didn't wait for Zhang Shaoyu to stop him, so in front of his grandfather, he swore to the sky in the unique way of Brother Pao: "The ancestors of the Tang family are in the spirit of heaven as a mirror, and the descendants of future generations Tang Kui, inheriting the great kindness of Brother Zhang Shaoyu, have nothing to repay, they can only chase after Brother Zhang in this life, if anyone dares to be disrespectful and disrespectful to Brother Zhang, I Tang Kui will kill God when I meet God, see Buddha **, if I violate this oath, let me be destroyed by heaven and earth, and I will not die well!"

Tang Kui's words were strong and passionate, and the words were loud, Zhang Shaoyu had no choice but to shake his head and smile bitterly, and said in his heart: "Damn, how can it be like making a martial arts movie!"

Turning his head to look around, Zhang Shaoyu suddenly found that in the cracks of the dilapidated window paper of the stove house, there was a pair of big eyes that he was familiar with looking into the house, and as soon as these big eyes and Zhang Shaoyu's gaze came into contact, he suddenly had a shy look.

"Xiaofang, it turns out that you didn't sleep either!" Zhang Shaoyu wanted to change the topic of gratitude and virtue of Tang Kui's grandfather and grandson by greeting Tang Fang.

The big eyes in the window disappeared, but soon, Tang Fang, who was wearing a big red jacket, walked in from the door.

"Brother Zhang, I heard a sound in the stove house, so I came to take a look, there wasn't much to eat at home, and I couldn't let the greedy wild cats steal food anymore. Tang Fang replied in a low voice while tugging at the corners of his clothes.

"Fangwa, did you also see what happened to your brother Zhang and your brother just now?" Grandpa Tang seemed to be ready to repeat what he had just said again.

Zhang Shaoyu hurriedly walked to Tang Fang's side, took her left hand, walked out, and said as he walked: "Xiaofang, why don't you wear the new clothes that your brother bought for you, go, go and wear them for Brother Zhang." ”

As soon as Tang Fang's hand touched Zhang Shaoyu's warm and powerful palm, her heart jumped for no reason, and her face was so red that even the roots of her ears were red.

She let Zhang Shaoyu pull her to the hall. The hall was dark, Zhang Shaoyu didn't feel the little girl's shy appearance, he really thought she was his little sister, he let go of his hand, and sighed: "Xiaofang, I don't want to hear what Grandpa Tang says again, isn't it just a few thousand yuan, what a big deal, you see that your grandfather has made this matter too serious." ”

Tang Fang didn't turn on the lights, and said softly: "Brother Zhang, maybe you don't think this money is very important, but you may not think that this money can change our family, can let me go back to school, can let my brother continue to go to school, and can make my mother's health slowly get better......"

"Don't mind, Xiaofang, why don't you tell me this!" Zhang Shaoyu interrupted Tang Fang's words and sighed: "I treat you as my own family!"

"Well, Brother Zhang, I know that you don't want to repay your kindness, but our family ......"

"Xiaofang, let's not talk about this topic, okay?" Zhang Shaoyu hurriedly interjected: "I see that your brother specially bought you a box of watercolor pens, do you like to draw?"

"Mmmmmmmm ”

"It doesn't matter if it's good or not, you just have to draw what you want. Zhang Shaoyu said: "Xiaofang, you have this hobby, don't let it be lost, keep it up, if you can be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in the future, then the golden phoenix will fly out of the ravine." ”

"Brother Zhang, can I do it?"

"Of course it's okay, our Xiaofang is so smart and capable, you can't, who else can?"

Tang Fang lowered her head and was speechless, not knowing what the little girl was thinking about in her heart.

"The fleas you feed are so bad, my sleepy insects have all been bitten to death by them, Xiaofang, go, go chat with me and your brother." Zhang Shaoyu didn't care whether the little girl was willing or not, and took her hand and walked towards the stove house.

This night, Grandpa Tang, Zhang Shaoyu, Tang Kui and Tang Fang didn't sleep, the four of them sat in front of the stove together, listening to Tang Ye You told a lot of anecdotes about Brother Pao's life in the rivers and lakes, this chat, it was an all-nighter, until the dawn pierced the darkness before dawn and slowly illuminated this mountainous area.

When Tang Kui handed over 4,000 yuan in cash to Tang's mother, and told his mother that the money was given by Zhang Shaoyu, Tang's mother insisted on going to thank Zhang Shaoyu, but Tang Kui knew Zhang Shaoyu's character, and it took a lot of effort to dissuade his mother from leaving the room. However, she told Tang Kuiqian, this is a great grace, you have to keep it in mind at all times, if Zhang Shaoyu has anything in danger in the future, even if you give up this life, you have to repay others, otherwise, you are not your mother's son.

Tang Kui naturally remembered every word.

Tang Fang knew that her brother and brother Zhang had to go down the mountain early in the morning to rush back to the county seat, so she did it alone and made gruel and vegetable buns for the two brothers for breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhang Shaoyu didn't stay any longer and left the Tang family with Tang Kui.

Grandpa Tang, Mother Tang, Tang Fang and Little Tang Jin have been sending the two to the bridgehead at the entrance of the village.

Parting, Zhang Shaoyu said to Tang Fang and Tang Jin: "Xiaofang, Xiaojin, you just have to study hard, and if you can help your aunt do more things at home, your brother and I will definitely be able to provide you with college, and you have the ability to study for a master's degree and a doctorate." In terms of households, your brother has enough ability to help the family solve it. Remember, if you want to get out of the mountains and study, it is your best choice. ”

"Brother Zhang, will you still come to see us?" Tang Fang lowered his head, tugged at the corners of his clothes, and asked softly.

"I will definitely come when I have the chance. Study hard, insist on drawing, and when you go to high school, I will ask your brother to take you into the city to study. Zhang Shaoyu replied without hesitation.

"I want it too, Brother Zhang. Xiao Tang Jin shouted beside him.

"Okay! Xiaojin, but you must strive to be admitted to college, your brother Tang Kui failed to realize his dream of college, you must complete it for him!" Zhang Shaoyu stroked Tang Jin's little head and said.

"Hmm!" Tang Jin nodded vigorously and said, "I will definitely be able to go to college!"

"Grandpa Tang, Auntie, take care of your health, I will definitely come to see you again when I have the chance. After Zhang Shaoyu finished speaking, he walked down the mountain without looking back, he didn't dare to look back, he was afraid of seeing the tears in the eyes of this family of four.

After Tang Kui told his younger siblings to see him, he kowtowed to his grandfather and mother, and rushed away in tears.

At about twelve o'clock at noon that day, Zhang Shaoyu and Tang Kui returned to Qingtai Hotel together.

The first thing Zhang Shaoyu did after returning to the room was to change all the clothes on his body and take a hot bath, full of red compatriots bitten by fleas, which was also one of the unforgettable memories he left when he went to Tang's house this time.

After taking a shower and changing into new clothes from the inside out, Zhang Shaoyu went to report to room 608 where Xiao Yuan was.

Xiao Yuan and photographer Zhou Xiaobing were in the same room, and when Zhang Shaoyu came in, the two were chatting online in front of their respective IBMT43 laptops with wireless Internet access.

"I'm back! Xiao Yuan turned around and greeted Zhang Shaoyu: "Is the situation at Xiao Tang's family okay?"

"It's okay, but the days that people in the mountains lived were really bitter!" Zhang Shaoyu sat down beside Xiao Yuan's bed and said with a sigh.

"Hehe, if you have the opportunity to go to the old revolutionary areas in Guizhou and Jiangxi, you will be more touched. Zhou Xiaobing smiled indifferently: "Many of them are the descendants of martyrs, but they are all struggling to survive on the poorest lifeline." ”

"Brother Bing, you are playing photography and framing, you must be running around the country and have seen a lot of knowledge. Zhang Shaoyu said with a smile.

"Professional, hehe, it's all professional. Zhou Xiaobing stretched his waist, pointed to the QQ chat box on the LCD screen and said: "Now it is convenient to have the Internet, and you can chat with your family at any time, no, my daughter just assigned me a glorious and arduous task." said that she has recently become obsessed with an online original singer named Yu Shao, so I have to get a signed photo of Yu Shao for her. Shaoyu, I heard that Yu Shao is also called Zhang Shaoyu, and he has the same name and surname as you, so it would be nice if you were the same person. ”

Zhang Shaoyu smiled faintly and didn't make a sound.

Who knew that Xiao Yuan looked at Zhou Xiaobing with a strange look on the side, and said, "Xiaobing, do you really don't know or don't know?"

"I don't know if it's true or not, Lao Xiao, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" Zhou Xiaobing asked puzzled.

"Don't you really know that Shaoyu is Yu Shao, one of the most popular singers in the Xiaoqiang Cup now?" Xiao Yuan's eyes turned to Zhang Shaoyu's face.

Xiao Yuan and Wu Ji are very close, and Xiao Yuan basically knows the situation related to Zhang Shaoyu that Wu Ji knows. Therefore, he already knew about Zhang Shaoyu's participation in the Xiaoqiang Cup Online Original Song Contest.

"I run outside every day, how can I know this, what, wait, Lao Xiao, what did you just say? You said that Shaoyu is the Yu Shao that my daughter said?"

"Of course, don't believe you ask him yourself. Xiao Yuan made an expression of love or disbelief.

"Damn! There is really such a coincidental thing in the world!Shaoyu, is what Lao Xiao just said true?!" Zhou Xiaobing turned to stare at Zhang Shaoyu and shouted.

"Brother Bing, that's right, I'm that Yu Shao. Zhang Shaoyu replied flatly: "However, I don't think I have much fame on the Internet, at most, there is a group of music-loving friends in Yu Shaotian Bar who have been supporting me." ”

"Wait, Shaoyu, I'll tell my daughter that Yu Shao is by my side. Zhou Xiaobing turned around and typed a line in her daughter's QQ.
