Looking at the rapidly retreating trees, buildings and pedestrians in Korean dresses outside the car window, Zhao Lan grabbed Wang Yongliang's hand tightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and Yongliang reached out to hold her in his arms and hugged her tightly. These actions have nothing to do with love, for Zhao Lan, she has been away from home for several years, she has experienced bitterness and pain, but she can only be buried in her heart, and she is about to see her relatives, but she can't open her heart to her relatives, under the mixed tastes, she needs a hug;

The two hugged each other and were speechless all the way.

Yanshi is only 30 kilometers from Lanzhen, less than an hour's drive. When he arrived in Lanzhen, Wang Yongliang handed Zhao Lan a thousand yuan and said, "You give this money to your family." Zhao Lan looked at Yongliang gratefully, did not speak, took the money and put it in her pocket. Yongliang called Qian Jin again and asked him to buy some gifts.

The three of them came to Zhao Lan's house, and as soon as they entered the courtyard gate, they saw a middle-aged woman wearing a Korean dress fetching water in the yard, Zhao Lan threw the bag in her hand, ran forward quickly, hugged the man and shouted excitedly: "Mom!"

Zhao Lan's mother was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, she saw that her daughter who had been thinking about it day and night came to her, and immediately burst into tears, and exclaimed excitedly: "Lan'er, Lan'er, is it you? Mom is not dreaming, right?" Then she lifted Zhao Lan's face, looked at it carefully, and said in her mouth: "It's Lan'er! It's Lan'er! Mom isn't dreaming, it's not dreaming!"

After speaking, he hugged Zhao Lan in his arms again, and cried: "Oh my God, why don't you open ......your eyes!

Witnessing this tragicomedy in the world, Wang Yongliang has a fifty-year-old soul, and he is used to seeing joys and sorrows, and he can't help but burst ......into tears.

When the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, two people ran out of the house, a young girl, who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and a young man, eighteen or nineteen years old. The two of them were yellow-skinned, their clothes were shabby, and they were all patches and patches, and the young man was standing barefoot outside the door without shoes. When Wang Yongliang saw it, he knew that it was Zhao Lan's sister and younger brother.

When Zhao Lan saw her sister and younger brother coming out, she hurriedly let go of her mother, pulled her sister with one hand and her younger brother with the other, and shouted, "Xiaomei, Xiaosong!"

Her sister's name is Zhao Mei, and her brother's name is Zhao Song. Zhao Mei and Zhao Song looked at their sister, the surprise just now turned into a grievance, Zhao Mei took Zhao Lan's hand and cried: "Sister, why did you come back?

After crying for a while, the sad emotions were almost cathartic, and Zhao Lan remembered Wang Yongliang and Qian Jin, so she said to her mother: "Mom, don't cry yet, there are still guests." ”

"Mom, this is my friend, his name is Wang Yongliang, and his name is Qian Jin. Zhao Lan hurriedly introduced Wang and Qian to her mother.

"Hello aunt!" Yongliang and Qian Jin hurriedly said hello.

"Hello, look at me, patronizing and crying, and forgetting to greet you." Zhao Lan's mother is very beautiful, but her face is yellow and thin, her skin has lost her luster, her hair is also a little gray, and crow's feet have appeared at the corners of her eyes, which must have been caused by years of malnutrition and overwork.

Everyone entered the house, leaning against a clay kang on the east wall, and there was a middle-aged man lying on the clay kang, needless to say, this was Zhao Lan's father, Zhao Dengjun.

From Zhao Lan's introduction, Wang Yongliang knew that Zhao Dengjun had suffered from cerebral thrombosis for three years, and although he was conscious, his speech was slurred and his speech was not good. At first, he was only tied to the right side of his body, and his right hand and right foot were a little immobile, but he could still take care of himself, but then he fell and broke his pelvis, and he had no money for surgery, so he completely lost his ability to take care of himself and could only lie on the kang.

Zhao Lan naturally cried again when she saw her father, and Zhao Dengjun couldn't speak, but he was also in tears. Wang Yongliang knows that the disease is afraid of agitation, and when the patient is excited, the cerebral capillaries are easy to rupture, and cerebral hemorrhage will be formed. In that case, under the current medical conditions, this person is estimated to not have a few days to live. Therefore, he hurriedly said to Zhao Lan: "Don't cry, this disease is the most exciting for patients!"

As soon as Zhao Lan heard this, she quickly stopped crying and comforted: "Dad, don't get excited. Our family will get better slowly, with me!. ”

"Lan'er, you see that there is nothing at home, how can you entertain guests?" At this time, Zhao Lan's mother said loudly.

"Auntie, don't worry about it, I'll arrange it. Wang Yongliang called Qian Jin, instructed him a few words, and then said to Zhao Song and Zhao Mei: "You two go to the town with him to see if you can buy dog meat." ”

The three of them left in response.

Zhao Lan's mother only knew that Zhao Lan's man was dead, and Zhao Lan naturally wouldn't tell her what happened later, so she saw that Wang Yongliang was making arrangements as if he was in her own home, and Zhao Lan seemed to take it for granted, so she began to doubt the relationship between the two. However, seeing that this young man is much younger than Zhao Lan, he shouldn't be a boyfriend.

Therefore, she hesitated and said to Zhao Lan: "Lan'er, don't you have any money on you, how can you let the guests break the bank?"

Zhao Lan replied: "Mom, his money is the same as my money, don't treat him as an outsider." In front of Wang Yongliang, she didn't want to ask, she just kept looking at Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan didn't see it, she just didn't take advantage of her stubble.

Zhao Lan saw that there were no teacups or anything like that at home, so she found an enamel jar, poured some hot water, and handed it to Yongliang. Yongliang took it, looked at her and asked, "Are Zhao Song and Zhao Mei still in school now?"

Zhao Lan didn't know either, so she looked back at her mother, and Zhao Lan's mother said: "Zhao Song has long stopped reading, and Zhao Mei won't read it after the summer vacation." As soon as his father was sick, the day was even if it fell, and now he still owes more than 800 yuan, how can he have money for her to study. This child studies well, and if he studies hard, it will not be a problem to be admitted to a university. But she is sensible and knows that her family has no money, so even if she wants to go to school again, she doesn't mess with me. ”

After listening to her, Yongliang basically understood the situation of the family. He said to Zhao Lan: "Uncle's illness must be treated, and Zhao Mei's school must also be attended." In my opinion, tomorrow we will send my uncle to Yanshi Hospital, where he will be treated for a period of time, at least so that he can take care of himself. Seeing that Zhao Lan wanted to speak, he waved his hand to stop her and continued: "You don't have to think about the money, I have enough money." ”

"As for Zhao Song and Zhao Mei, I haven't thought it through yet. Of course, it's no problem to go to school, but my aunt has to take care of my uncle, so how can I have time to take care of them anymore? Why don't we take them away? What do you think we should do?"

Zhao Lan heard Wang Yongliang say this, knowing that he was sincerely thinking about his family, and her heart was naturally very moved. She thought for a moment and said, "It's not the right time to take them away. My mom is also very tired of taking care of my dad by herself, and Zhao Song can help her. Besides, he is a young man, and he still uses my mother to take care of him? It's okay to take Zhao Mei with you, but I'm still blinded now, how can I take care of her? I can't just rely on you, you have too many things to do. Otherwise, I'll go first, and then I'll think about it when I'm settled. Anyway, I left enough money for them, and I don't think there's anything big in front of me. ”

"Okay, as you say. Wang Yongliang saw that Zhao Lan was really thoughtful about things, so he stopped talking.

While he was talking, he saw Zhao Song and Zhao Mei wearing new clothes, and entered the door happily, and Zhao Song also put on new sandals on his feet.

"Mom, this is what Brother Wang asked Brother Qian to buy. Zhao Mei took the lead in reporting to her mother.

"Mom, this is also what Brother Wang asked Brother Qian to buy. Zhao Song then flashed a large lump of dog meat in his hand, and then reported. At this time, Qian Jin also entered the house with some rice, noodles, oil and other things.

"Brother Wang, I really don't know how to thank you for letting you break the bank. Zhao Lan's mother was overwhelmed with excitement.

"Auntie, you're welcome. Wang Yongliang hurriedly said.

After a few polite words, Zhao Lan's mother picked up the dog meat and went to the yard to clean it up.

The reason why Wang Yongliang let the money go in to buy dog meat is because he knows that the Korean people love to eat dog meat and can also make dog meat. In particular, dog soup is a representative work of the Korean "soup culture".

There was an iron pot in the yard, and Zhao Lan's mother put the dog meat in the pot, mixed it with water and began to boil. After a while, a fragrance rushed to the nose, making Zhao Song and Zhao Mei drool. How long has it been since these two poor children had eaten dog meat? Wang Yongliang thought sadly.

"Yo, I have money to buy dog meat to eat, but I don't have the money to pay the bills, how can I put up a brother and sister-in-law like you?" Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded at the gate.
