After a day of thinking, Xing Youliang had decided to leave Shimo Village with his younger siblings temporarily, so he told the Song family about this idea,

"Grandma, I see that all the schools in the county are open, and I want to go to Xihe Town for junior high school in a few days, I haven't studied for a long time, and they are about to be abandoned. ”

Song put down all the withered grass he was holding in his hand and said,

"Westriver Town, so far away?"

"Yes, only in Xihe Town there is a junior high school, Principal Jiang said that my level is enough to go to junior high school. ”

"But it takes a day to go back and forth from Xihe Town, where do you live?

"Grandma, you don't have to worry about this, we have spent two months in the county by ourselves, and we can solve it with food and housing, but now there is a problem. ”

"What's the problem?"

"When I left, I didn't feel at ease with my siblings, and I wanted to take them to school together, and they went to elementary school over there, and I went to junior high school. ”

Song wanted to say, isn't there still me at home, but thinking that he has to take care of Ran Ran and have to work, he can't be separated at all, so he went into the bedroom and picked up Fu Xiaojian, who was still sleeping.

"Get up for me. ”

"It hurts, it hurts, let go, it hurts me,,,,,,, why are you pulling me up so early. Fu Xiaojian's greasy hair slept even more unkempt, and his ears were pinched by the old lady, and he screamed in pain.

"Look at what time it is, the sun is all on your buttocks, and you can't get up yet, how can you get a daughter-in-law like this? Who is blind to marry you. ”

Song's words can be regarded as talking about Fu Xiaojian's sadness, and Xiao Huan has not paid much attention to him during this time. When he saw that they were building a house, he wanted to go over to help, and at first she was very happy and thanked him, but then why did he ignore him, he couldn't figure it out, wasn't he handsome enough?

"Can't ask for it? I can't ask for it, and I won't ask for it. Fu Xiaojian said angrily, pulled the sheet in Song's hand and turned over to continue sleeping.

"Get up for me, and I'll tell you something. Song slapped Fu Xiaojian's shoulder and scolded.

"Whatever you say, I'll listen. ”

"Youliang plans to go to school in Xihe Town, and said that he doesn't worry about Youqian and Youyou, and he wants to go together, I guess he wants to go to his father, and you can go with him when the time comes." ”

Fu Xiaojian still closed his eyes and turned his back to Song and said,

"Why do you have to go with me, didn't they all live well on their own in the two months they went to the county seat, they are all such old children, don't worry too much, you might as well worry about me." ”

Song took a broom and beat Fu Xiaojian, and said angrily,

"Hey, I said you're good now, aren't you, and you're still talking to me, can't you see that something is wrong when they come back. ”

Fu Xiaojian got out of bed with his buttocks covered, stood far away from Song and asked,

"Something is wrong, I think it's fine. ”

"How did I give birth to you with such a rough nerve, it's really worse than your sister, think about it, they arrived home until dawn, it must have been in the middle of the night to set off from the county seat, but why did they set off in the middle of the night?"

Fu Xiaojian pondered for a moment, this was indeed a little strange, so he asked,

"yes, why?"

"I guess, they must be in trouble, so this time, you have to go, you have to go, you have to go, if they don't have half a hair, don't come back to recognize me as a mother!"

After Song finished speaking, he closed the door and went out, leaving Fu Xiaojian, who was full of disbelief, grabbing his messy hair and complaining,

"Yes, I'm not as good as my sister, and now I'm not as good as my sister's son, anyway, my father is gone, my mother doesn't hurt, and my daughter-in-law can't ask for it. ”

In the courtyard, Xing Youliang told his younger siblings about his plans, and both of them agreed and longed for it very much.

"Big brother, are we going to find Dad?"

Xing Youliang looked at his brother's eyes that were a little moist because he was too excited and nodded,

"Yes, we're going to go to my dad and go to school, anyway. ”

"Great, you don't know, big brother, I dreamed of my dad last night, saying that when the jujube tree grows up, I want to pick dates and eat them together, big brother, you say, can we eat dates with my dad?"

"Of course you can, my mother will definitely bless us in heaven. Xing Youliang touched Xing Youqian's head and comforted with a smile.

Of course, Xing Youyou has the same hope, that is his father, the father who loves her the most in the world and loves her, she doesn't know how many times she has dreamed of him, how many times she has called her father in her dreams, but she is still afraid, afraid that if things are not as expected, how will her brothers bear it at a young age.

"But before we go, we have to go see grandma, we haven't been there for a long time, and I don't know how she is doing?"

"Why go and see her, I'm not going. Xing Youqian pouted in protest.

"No matter how we say it, she is our grandmother and our relatives, even if it is not good for us, this is a fact that cannot be changed. We can not live with her, but we can't leave her alone at all, which is not right. ”

Although Xing Youyou didn't want to go, thinking that she would definitely be angry if she went, she had to admit that what her eldest brother said was reasonable, they were the blood relatives of her brothers in this world, and they couldn't be discarded or get rid of.

In this way, the three brothers and sisters of Xing Youyou took ten catties of wheat and two fish and went to the old courtyard of the Xing family before dark. After knocking on the door, it was He Wenbi who opened the door, listening to their voices, I didn't want to open it, but when I saw that they were carrying so much food in their hands, I couldn't wait to open the door.

"Yo, there is food, holding so many things, it's very heavy, come to the second aunt to help you carry it." ”

Xing Youliang didn't give her the things, but just asked where Mrs. Xiong was.

"She's in her room. He Wenbi saw that Xing Youliang didn't mean to give him things, so she closed the door with a black face and went back to her room.

After Xing Youliang took his younger siblings to Mrs. Xiong's house, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The house was a mess, there was ash everywhere, I don't know how long it hadn't been cleaned, and there was a stench in the house, the musty smell mixed with the rancid smell. The old lady bear lying on the kang didn't move, her hair was filled in a lot of gray places, messy, and some were clumped, her eyes were cloudy, Xing Youliang called her for a long time before focusing on Xing Youliang's body.

"Do you have food?"

"Grandma, it's me, are you okay?"

Are you okay with this question, the old lady Xiong cried like a child, and she couldn't stop it. Xing Youyou made all kinds of psychological preparations before she came, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Xiong would cry like this, and she didn't know how to accept it now.

"Grandma, don't cry, tell me what happened?"

Mrs. Xiong didn't say anything, just kept crying and shaking her head, Xing Youyou understood a little that she seemed to be speechless.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Xing Youqian saw a maggot crawling out from under the old lady Xiong, pointed to the front and shouted,

"Big brother, you see, there are maggots. ”
