Xiaobing is the most worried child in the second uncle's family, and his mother held his hand and whispered: "I will send your mother to the best hospital in the next two days, but Auntie will be honest with you, it is a little late at this time, and Auntie can't say whether it can be cured or not, but Auntie can promise you that you can find the best doctor to live in the best hospital, no matter how much money you spend and how long you stay, Auntie will care." If you are cured, your aunt doesn't need you to remember it, I hope you will study hard and grow up. If it is not cured, then the aunt is your mother, and you will be in charge of it in this life, do you remember?"

Xiao Bing wiped his eyes with his sleeve, let out a sullen "um", nodded, and clutched the dozens of yuan in his hand tightly, at this time, for him, it was not money, it was dependence.

The death of the second aunt in the last life, the biggest impact is the little soldier, learning plummeted, people have become silent, when he was a child, he can toss and make trouble all day long, he suddenly seems to be dozens of years old, always staying alone in the corner, and he said ten words in exchange for a hum, slowly the children are not looking for him to play, and his academic performance is getting worse and worse, and he is becoming more and more silent.

This continued until he was fifteen or sixteen years old, Brother Xinghong saw that it was not good to go on like this, so he found a relationship to get the little soldier into the army, and after more than ten years of being a soldier, he slowly got better, but he didn't talk much, and it didn't look like he was a child at all.

The old mother turned her head and said to the second aunt: "You hurry up and pack up, go directly to the city in a while, and go to the hospital in the city, you don't have to worry about it at home, and you can recuperate with peace of mind." After a pause, my mother said again: "I'm not doing this to you, I'm looking at the child." ”

The second lady smiled awkwardly and nodded.

The second uncle was so happy, he poured water for his mother, handed cigarettes to his father, went to set the table to arrange dinner, and wanted to go out to buy wine, but was stopped by his father.

A few children also helped, set up the tables and chairs, and everyone sat down to eat.

At this time, there was really nothing to eat in the rural areas of Northeast China.

Potato stew sauerkraut, with pork bones and pork in it, just after the New Year, there is still pork, and in a few days, it is estimated that you can only put some meat oil.

Stewed radish with mixed bones, old hen stewed with potatoes, three large basins in the middle of the table, and a few bowls of pickles on the side, this is quite a hearty meal, and few families in the whole castle can eat like this.

The staple food is mixed flour steamed bread and two rice, corn hawthorn mixed with rice.

Northeast people have the habit of steaming steamed buns during the New Year, and after steaming, they are frozen outside, and they can take it back and steam it if they want to eat it.

Fortunately, there is such a habit, otherwise this meal will not be able to eat, Zhang Xingming's family is about a dozen people, and it is estimated that he will have to cook until midnight.

After eating a meal, the pot of dry soup is exhausted, and the steamed bun reserves have dropped to the freezing point, haha, mainly because the half-grown children and a few soldiers are too edible.

After eating, everyone sat down and rested for a while, drank some water, and the mother walked away, and in the afternoon they had to go to the fifth uncle's house and the eldest uncle's house.

The second aunt cleaned up, but in fact, there was nothing to take, so she took Sister Xiaoying and Xiaobing, and the group walked out of the courtyard gate.

The sixth uncle's house is by the river, or the dilapidated house, and when everyone walked to the door, the sixth uncle was wearing a black cotton jacket and sitting on the stone at the door looking at the sky.

Dad and Mom discussed, and they were going to take Uncle Sixth to the city, get him a house, give him some living expenses a month, or arrange a job for him somewhere, it was better than starving in this castle.

But who knows that as soon as Dad and Uncle Six talked, he kept shaking his head, not leaving, not going anywhere, wah-wow-wow-wow for a while, and I don't know what he meant, Sixth Uncle didn't go to school, and he didn't have a place to learn dumb language, he was all self-taught, and he didn't stay with him for a long time, so he didn't know what it meant.

Xiao Bing said on the side: "Third uncle, sixth uncle said that he has land, food, there are many acquaintances here, there is work to do, you don't need to raise him." I don't know anyone in the city, I don't go. ”

The sixth uncle thought about it, nodded, gave a thumbs up to the little soldier, and smiled at his father.

Although he is mute by nature, he can hear voices, as long as they are not too quiet.

Dad looked back at his mother, and Mom said, "Don't go, don't go, he doesn't know anyone over there, and he's used to staying in the countryside, so it's really not good to live." Leave more money for the sixth child, let him get the house up, buy whatever he wants, and give more money in the future. ”

Zhang Xingming said: "My mother is right, I don't approve of taking the sixth uncle into the city, he has been in the fort since he was a child, he has never gone out, it is not good to go out at all, normal people have to adapt for a while, and he can't communicate with people." ”

Everyone came to see him, the sixth uncle was very happy, and no one usually came to him, only during the New Year's Festival, the second uncle, as a brother, gave him some money or things, and he usually didn't come, and the fourth uncle had a hard time living by himself.

The sixth uncle gestured and asked who these people were, and his father said to him: "This is the eldest of my family, the eldest of the family, this is the second, this is the third, the same as you, the youngest." ”

The sixth uncle came over to take a closer look one by one, reached out to the three brothers and touched their heads, went into the house and rummaged for a while, took out a dozen yuan, and counted the New Year's money.

The children of the second uncle and the fourth uncle's family have grown up since they were children, and they are all familiar with them, and to be honest, because of the adults, the attitude of those few towards the sixth uncle is not very good, and the sixth uncle does not care about them. Among these brothers, only my father came to see him every time he came back, brought him things and money, and he remembered it.

My mother smiled and said, "The sixth child is quite generous, and this amount of money is probably his bottom money." ”

The little brother scratched his head and asked, "Then is this to do it or not?" The sixth uncle is not rich enough for me, or I will give the sixth uncle some Mom, okay?"

My mother said, "Do you still have any money?

The younger brother glanced at Zhang Xingming and whispered, "It's still a little." ”

The old mother smiled and said, "The New Year's money given by the sixth uncle has to be asked." It's over, let your dad leave him more money, you can't give it now, what about the little one, when you are older, you can give it to him, and then you can provide for him in old age. ”

The sixth uncle came over happily, and the brother gave five yuan alone, in fact, this is really a lot, that is, the city gives the child New Year's money, and there are not many people who give five yuan.

The brother took the money, and the sixth uncle saw that they all took it, and happily compared it for a long time.

Even if the sixth uncle didn't leave, his father didn't force him, took 500 yuan to him, and said: "I'll come after the New Year, you can move to the fourth child's house to live, don't want this, sell it." ”

The sixth uncle was stunned for a while, pointed to the house, rubbed his fingers, and looked at his father. Dad nodded and said, "Yes, it's sold, don't want it, you move down next year, fourth, your fourth brother's house, you move there." ”

The sixth uncle compared a four, the father nodded, the sixth uncle compared a hug action, and compared the palm downward, and said "ahhh

Xiaobing said: "The sixth uncle asked you where the fourth uncle lived, and said that the fourth uncle has a wife, and the child is so old, he can't do it without a house." ”

The father said to the sixth uncle: "The fourth child went to my place, moved away, and left the house to you." ”

Xiao Bing came over and compared with Uncle Six, among these children, he and Uncle Six spent the longest time together, and he was the only one who could communicate.

After a long time, the sixth uncle nodded, nodded at his father again, and made a gesture of carrying things, Xiaobing said: "Sixth uncle said okay, he can move it himself without you coming." ”

Dad said: "That's right, he will clean up the second quilt in this house, so that it is easy to move." Let's go, hurry up and get to the city early. ”

Saying goodbye to the sixth uncle, the group turned around and crossed the river along the ice and went to the grain field to pick up the car.

The sixth uncle took the money given by his father, and stood at the door a little reluctantly and watched everyone walk away.
