At the end of spring, there was a light rain in the morning, and it was gloomy in the afternoon, and God seemed to be brewing a greater conspiracy, elongating his face, and making people angry for no reason.

On a small dirt slope at the foot of the mountain, Gao Siliang and Liu Datou, two fox friends, sat on the grass with their feet spread out boredly, and chatted while stuffing tender cucumbers from the vegetable field in their mouths.

"Damn, the mouth is fading out of the birds!-the rabbits in the mountains are so fucking cunning!"

"No! Ten sets in a row, not a single fucking rabbit egg is covered! Grandpa is starving!"

Hearing what the good brother said, Liu Datou handed over the remaining half of the cucumber in his hand very righteously, "This one is okay, tender!"

"you! Cucumber beans every day, and if you eat Lao Tzu again, you will become an old cucumber!"

As their name suggests, the two of them are so thin that they are not a few taels of meat, and they are not tall, and they look like they are born with a bamboo pole that is not good enough and has not been very good the day after tomorrow. He was born with more than four or two points, the family was so poor that he was two years old, his mother died, his father was a tuberculosis ghost, he lasted until he was eight years old, since then he was really like a monkey, and there was a meal that the neighbors looked at him pitifully, and he ran to the mountains to find food without a meal.

It's called Little Gaozhuang, and there's a big Gaozhuang a few miles to the east. As the name suggests, the surname here is much higher. It is not clear when the ancestors of the Gao family moved here, but seeing that the mountains and rivers here are acceptable, and a few acres of fertile land can be carved out, they settled down. After a number of years of multiplication, Gaojiazhuang could not live, and some of the slightly capable, bold, and non-descendant moved to the mountain closer to the town.

Liu Datou's family was moved to this small Gaozhuang by his grandfather's generation. Liu Datou was also born malnourished, and his family background was so pitiful that he fought with the senior in high school, and then his head grew bigger and bigger, and now he has become a veritable Liu Datou.

"Alas, have you heard, the firewood aunt of the Gao Lao family is about to die, hehe, maybe we can still get meat to eat in the next two days!" Liu Datou's eyes lit up when he thought about it, "Even if you can't get much meat, tofu can always make people eat enough!"

The senior two were also fascinated when they heard this, but then they thought of a good idea, "Alas, have you heard that the wild man Zhang in the town is recruiting people to work, why don't we also ask?"

Liu Datou glanced at him, "The wild man Zhang's family is all about building roads, dams, and blasting stones, just your arms and legs, can you do it?" Forget it, let's go to Gao Lao's house for a full meal!"

As they said, Gao Lao's family is at the last moment of misery and misery.

Everyone didn't dare to call Gao Lao Li in person, because he was the only talent in this radius of dozens of miles -- there was another person in Da Gaozhuang, who had already gone out to be an official, and it was rare to come back once in a few years -- because Gao Lao was still very popular in this neighborhood -

There are so many people near and far, and I have never heard of anyone who can boil their father and mother to death for the sake of studying to the death, and boil up the ten acres of fertile land in the family, and now they want to boil the only lady in the family who can do heavy work to death the old man who picks the door!

Said that this Gao Lao is actually not old, I heard that his daughter is only more than ten years old, but I don't know if it is a poem every day, half a head of white hair, usually shrugging shoulders and hunchbacking, if you hear someone call him "Xiucai Master" can instantly straighten up the back like firewood. He usually wears a clean Confucian shirt, and he wears his Xiucai scarf all day long, if you don't see the appearance of Aunt Firewood, everyone will think that this is a leisurely squire, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Aunt Chai Huo's surname was Chai, and later I didn't know who gave such a nickname, so everyone called it. Aunt Chai Huo should have been a little beautiful in her early years, but since the two old people above the Gao family passed away more than ten years ago, and the family's ten acres of fertile land were sold, she had to work in the three acres of thin fields every day, and the wind and rain were blowing, and Gao Lao never gave her some delicious clothes to wear, but it was just like the town's Huazi, thin and ragged, and it made people feel sad to see.

At this time, Aunt Chai Huo was lying on the hard bed, looking at her daughter crying beside her through some dim light, silently dripping tears, reluctant to close her eyes.

The hard work of the past few years has made her run out of oil, and she knows that it is the last moment. Having come to this point, she also understands that those three from the four virtues, the three outlines and the five constants are just a fart, she listened to her father's words and married such a wreck, because she gave birth to a daughter and injured her body and failed to give birth to a son, she was inferior all her life, not to mention her hard life, and she was scolded for more than ten years!

"Ahem-" She gasped softly, trying to gather the strength she had left, and then tell her daughter what she had said a few days ago, when she suddenly heard a heavy cold cough outside the door - it was her father-in-law, the man she supported with all her strength and finally exhausted herself, and at her last moment, he refused to come in to take a look, but asked her if she was dead with such an inconsequential cold cough outside the door.

Aunt Chai grabbed her daughter's hand hard, and when she saw her delicate daughter, her eyes were full of guilt, and then darkness struck, and her hand was slowly put down......

Gao Manqing, the girl of the Gao family, was stunned, and then her hoarse voice rang out again.

The old man outside the door was also stunned, sighed deeply on the ground after half a sound, and then recalled how he did it when his father and mother passed away for a long time, and suddenly found that he was not very clear, so he frowned and wandered around the yard several times, and finally raised his legs and walked to the chief's house.

The lieutenant is also surnamed Gao, and he has a sixtieth birthday this year, and he is small with his father. When his father left, Tori took care of him a lot, and he helped him a lot over the years, because he would lift his legs and go to Tori's house whenever he had something, and this road was very familiar.

Until he walked out of the courtyard, he didn't think about going into the back room to take a look at his old wife.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard door "banging", Gao Manqing, who cried until his head was swollen and painful, slowly raised his head, looked at his mother who had not closed his eyes fixedly, and was stunned.

Mother really just left...... Although she has had this premonition since her mother was seriously ill this time, when the facts are really in front of her, it still makes people feel like a dream.

In fact, everything that her mother should have ordered has already been ordered, and she knows very well what she needs to do at this moment. But as soon as he heard the sound of the courtyard door, and thought of the ruthless man who didn't even come in to take a look, Gao Manqing's heart, which had been struck by grief, was instantly stirred up by hatred and swelled again!

She gritted her teeth, leaned forward gently, gently brushed her mother's unwilling eyes with her hand, and said slowly: "Mother, you have worked hard for so many years, this is also a relief, you can leave with peace of mind! You can rest assured, I will be self-reliant, not relying on others, I will live well!"

As if hearing her daughter's words, Aunt Chai shed the last tears in her eyes, and then closed her eyes forever.
