Ding Fengjun looked around the dilapidated room, the happy time that used to be together no longer exists, the familiar people are gone, this place is particularly desolate, depressed, and engraved Zhang Jilai's wedding day, the house is full of joy, which makes people feel joyful, but the years have changed, ruthlessly mottled this happy person.

Ding Fengjun's eyes gradually moistened because of this full of memories.

"Second uncle, are we going to stay here tonight?" Ding Qingsheng turned around and asked.

Ding Fengjun smiled slightly, he walked to the side of the bed, and touched the neatly stacked quilt with his hand, damp, cold, how can such a bed live.

"Birthday, let's go back to the second uncle's house tonight to sleep, there are four sisters at home, they will be very good to you, and your second aunt, her cooking is delicious." ”

Ding Qingsheng scratched his head, seeming to hesitate.

"But what happens when those friends of mine come to play with me?"

Ding Fengjun half-squatted down, took Ding Qingsheng's cold little hand and said, "There are also many children in the village of the second uncle, and they will also play with you." ”

Ding Qingsheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I'm hungry too, why don't we go back." ”

Ding Fengjun picked up Ding Qingsheng at once, walked to the courtyard, and stood in the middle of the courtyard, Ding Fengjun couldn't help but look back at the mottled house again, maybe this time, he will never come back.

Ding Fengjun sighed lightly and left without looking back.

Zhang Fengrong is doing needlework at home, it is still early at this time, the eldest daughter Ding Xiaoqin and the second daughter Ding Xiaoqi have not come back yet, they have already gone to school, Zhang Fengrong is responsible for cooking for them, because the school is in his own village, there is no need to pick up and drop off back and forth, which also saves Zhang Fengrong's heart, and the third girl is still young, less than the age of going to school, she is playing with the fourth daughter Ding Xiaohua under the bare jujube tree in the yard.

The sound of Ding Fengjun holding Ding Qingsheng and pushing open the door disturbed the two children who were playing.

The third daughter, Ding Xiaoshu, reacted quickly, she saw Ding Fengjun, and immediately ran towards Ding Fengjun happily, shouting her father in her mouth. As soon as Ding Fengjun saw his daughter coming, he hurriedly put Ding Qingsheng on the ground, smiled and catered to Ding Xiaoshu, but never thought that after Ding Xiaoshu saw Ding Qingsheng, his footsteps suddenly slowed down.

"Dad, why is this little brother here?"

Ding Fengjun reached out and touched Ding Xiaoshu's head, and said, "My brother came to play with you." ”

Ding Xiaoshu looked behind Ding Fengjun and said, "Why didn't Uncle Zhang come?"

Ding Fengjun smiled and said, "Because he gave this younger brother to our family, I will have a younger brother to play with you in the future." ”

"I don't want it, if I have a younger brother, my parents' love will be shared with him, and you won't love us as much as before. Ding Xiaoshu pouted and tilted his head, looking like a little adult.

Ding Fengjun just smiled and didn't say anything more, he led Ding Qingsheng into the house.

"Feng Rong, I'm back. ”

Zhang Fengrong looked at Ding Fengjun and said with a surprised face: "Why are you back?"

Ding Fengjun deliberately teased and said, "What's the matter, I can't come back to my home?"

Zhang Fengrong stood up and said with a smile: "As long as you can be poor, you haven't had a few in the kiln, and I won't be surprised if you come back." ”

Ding Fengjun smiled, before the words were spoken, Zhang Fengrong saw Ding Qingsheng, she touched Ding Qingsheng's head and said, "The new student is here, alas, what about the brothers, didn't you come back with you?"

Ding Fengjun's smile disappeared all of a sudden, replaced by sadness, and he wrinkled his brows and said, "Alas, brother Jilai, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." ”

Zhang Fengrong was stunned for a moment, and said inexplicably: "What do you mean, why can't you come back?"

Ding Fengjun looked at Ding Qingsheng and said, "Qingsheng, you go to the yard to play with your sister first, and I'll let your second aunt cook for you later." ”

Ding Qingsheng ran to the yard very obediently, and Ding Fengjun said to Zhang Fengrong again: "We had an accident in the kiln, and then my brother died." ”

"What? he, he's dead?" Zhang Fengrong only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was very shocked.

"So, what about the freshmen?"

Ding Fengjun sighed and said: "In the future, we will raise the new students, I have already decided, and he will change his name to Ding Qingsheng." ”

"Ding Qingsheng?" Zhang Fengrong muttered, her face was also full of sorrow, and continued, "This child is really miserable, his father and mother are dead, he is still so young, for the sake of you and his father and brother, let's take him in." ”

Ding Fengjun nodded and said, "Well, let's raise him as our own child." ”

In the courtyard, Ding Qingsheng walked up to Ding Xiaoshu and Ding Xiao's picture, and said sweetly: "Sister, can I play with you?"

"We don't like you, so why should we take you along?" Ding Xiaoshu said angrily.

Ding Qingsheng was very embarrassed, he scratched his head, and said, "Sister, the second uncle said that you are all very good, and you will play with me." ”

Ding Xiaohua walked past Ding Xiaoshu's side, reached out to hold Ding Qingsheng's hand, and said, "I'll play with you." ”

As soon as Ding Xiaoshu stretched out his hand and slapped Ding Xiaohua's little hand, Ding Xiaohua was so frightened that he shuddered and let go of the hand that was holding Ding Qingsheng.

"I don't allow you to play with him, you are my sister, how can you play with an outsider!" Ding Xiaoshu said a little angrily.

"But ......," Ding Xiaohua wanted to say something more.

Ding Xiaoshu said impatiently: "There is nothing, I am my sister, you are my sister, so you have to listen to your sister." ”

"Does my sister have to listen to my sister?" asked Ding Qingsheng for some reason.

"Of course, that's what my mom said. Ding Xiaoshu looked proud.

At this time, Ding Xiaoqin and Ding Xiaoqi came back from school, Ding Xiaoqin saw three people standing under the jujube tree, I don't know what to talk about, she smiled and walked to the three people with her schoolbag on her back.

"Little brother is here, what are you three talking about here?"

Ding Xiaoshu snorted coldly and rolled his eyes upwards and said, "Eldest sister, he said he wanted to play with us, but I didn't want to." ”

Ding Xiaoqin looked at Ding Qingsheng, who looked aggrieved, and turned his face and asked, "Why don't you want to play with your brother?"

Ding Xiaoshu said: "Eldest sister, have you forgotten that the way he looked during the Chinese New Year caused us to be laughed at by adults?"

Ding Xiaoqi also hurriedly agreed: "That's it, didn't our aunt say it, he is a person who can only say good things, cheat and cheat, I think the third sister is doing the right thing, we just can't play with the little liar." ”

Ding Qingsheng was very aggrieved, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not a little liar, I'm really not a little liar!"

"You are a little liar, my aunt said, you cheated my father of his money, and we also saw it at that time!"

"That's the New Year's money given by the second uncle, I didn't cheat it!"

"Hmph, you're a little liar!"

Ding Xiaoqin saw the three of them arguing, and hurriedly stopped: "Okay, don't quarrel, my brother comes to our house, we have to treat him well, how to say that he is also a guest, didn't my mother tell us, if you want to entertain guests well, listen to me, you must take your brother to play!"

"Why!" Ding Xiaoqi and Ding Xiaoshu asked in unison.

Without waiting for Ding Xiaoqin to speak, Ding Qingsheng said with a smile: "Didn't the third sister say it just now, my sister has to listen to my sister!"

Ding Xiaoqi and Ding Xiaoshu glared at Ding Qingsheng together, and Ding Qingsheng hurriedly added: "The third sister said it, this was said by the second aunt!"

Ding Xiaoqin pushed the boat down the river and said: "Yes, isn't that what our mother said, if you are disobedient, I can tell our mother to go." ”

Ding Xiaoqi and Ding Xiaoshu suddenly had nothing to say, the two of them glared at Ding Qingsheng again, snorted coldly and went back to the house hand in hand.

After Ding Xiaohua watched the two sisters leave, she reached out and grabbed Ding Qingsheng's hand again, and said, "They don't play with you, so let's play." ”

Ding Qingsheng glanced at Ding Xiaohua gratefully, then turned his head to Ding Xiaoqin and said, "Eldest sister, thank you." ”

Ding Xiaoqin smiled, reached out and touched Ding Qingsheng, who was half a head shorter than her, and said, "You're welcome, you two can play, I have to go back to the house to do my homework." ”

After Zhang Fengrong cooked the meal, Ding Fengjun called everyone in the family to the dinner table, he looked at the four daughters, and then at Ding Qingsheng, and said, "I'll hold a meeting for you today." ”

The eyes of the four girls looked at Ding Fengjun without saying a word, and Ding Fengjun said again: "Birthday, come here." ”

Ding Qingsheng walked to Ding Fengjun's side very obediently, Ding Fengjun reached out and hugged Ding Qingsheng in his arms, his inadvertent action aroused the jealousy of Ding Xiaoqi and Ding Xiaoshu, and the two of them had already stared at Ding Qingsheng with disgust.

Ding Fengjun didn't notice the smell of gunsmoke, he said to himself: "In the future, Qingsheng will be your younger brother, and he is his own brother, his name is Ding Qingsheng, as your sister, you have to treat him well, understand?"

Ding Xiaoqin said very heartily: "Understood." ”

However, Ding Xiaoqi said reluctantly: "Doesn't he have his own home, why is he in our family, doesn't Uncle Zhang want him?"

Ding Fengjun didn't pay attention to Ding Xiaoqi's emotions, he explained slightly: "Your Uncle Zhang has gone to a far away place, and he won't come back, and he will live in our house for a long time on his birthday, you can't bully him, you know?"

"Where is it far away, why did Uncle Zhang go there, and why didn't he come back?" Ding Xiaohua asked with a puzzled face.

Ding Fengjun smiled and said, "You'll know when you grow up, anyway, as long as you know that you have to be good for your birthday, understand?"

Ding Xiaohua nodded as if he didn't understand, while Ding Xiaoqi and Ding Xiaoshu glanced at each other, their hands clasped together, gritted their teeth and nodded to each other, in fact, Ding Xiaoqin knew what Ding Fengjun's mouth meant by the far away, but she was smart and wise, she knew that there were some things he couldn't say, because Ding Fengjun didn't say it, which meant that those words couldn't be said.

"Alright, let's eat. Zhang Fengrong brought the food to the table and hurriedly greeted.

Ding Qingsheng's accommodation has also become a problem at home, originally the family is full of girls, generally Ding Fengjun is not at home, the kang in the West House is big, several children plus Zhang Fengrong can just squeeze on it, occasionally Ding Fengjun comes back, everyone is still barely able to survive this winter, but this is so fierce that adding a Ding Qingsheng can't let him squeeze on the kang at all.

Ding Fengjun was also worried, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Otherwise, I'll sleep on the bed and let Qingsheng be on the kang." ”

Zhang Fengrong said with some distress: "How cold is this bed, and there is no stove in the hall, so you can't catch a cold?"

Ding Fengjun said with an indifferent attitude: "My physical fitness has always been very good, this cold is nothing, it's okay." ”

Zhang Fengrong was still a little uneasy, she got up and went to the west room to get two drip bottles and fill them with boiling water, and then returned to the hall, put the two homemade thermos bottles in the quilt, and after the quilt was covered, she turned her face to Ding Fengjun and said: "Cover the quilt first, and then you can sleep when it is warm inside." ”

Ding Fengjun said with a smile: "It's better to be my daughter-in-law." ”

Zhang Fengrong replied shyly: "Look at your stupidity." ”

When Zhang Fengrong returned to the West House Kang, several children were playing on the kang, and Ding Xiaoqi was leaning against the wall of the kang to accuse Ding Qingsheng.

"What did you say you came to my house for, it was because of you that my dad went to bed, it was so cold in the hall, if he caught a cold, who would earn money for us to go to school. ”

Ding Qingsheng sat on the edge of the kang, bowed his head and felt guilty, he only said in a whisper: "Otherwise, I'll go to the hall to sleep, let the second master come to sleep in this house." ”

Ding Xiaoshu said with an arrogant attitude: "You said lightly, my father won't let you sleep in that house, you don't have a home, what do you have to do at our house." ”

Ding Qingsheng said aggrievedly: "When my father comes back, I will go home." ”

Ding Xiaoqi said sharply: "Didn't you listen to my father, your father won't come back." ”

Ding Qingsheng raised his head suddenly, his eyes were cold and cold, and he said, "No, my father will come back, as the second uncle said, he will come back." ”

Ding Qingsheng's reaction frightened Ding Xiaoqi and Ding Xiaoshu, they were silent for a while, Ding Xiaoqin sat next to Ding Qingsheng, she reached out and grabbed Ding Qingsheng's hand, and said softly: "Brother Qingsheng, don't be like this, Uncle Zhang will come back, it's just a matter of time." ”

Ding Qingsheng looked at Ding Xiaoqin and hummed softly.

Zhang Fengrong looked at a few noisy children and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about, the voice is so noisy, I heard it outside." ”

Ding Xiaoqin said with a smile: "Mom, we are discussing who is sleeping next to his younger brother Qingsheng." ”

Zhang Fengrong smiled when he heard this: "Yo, the birthday celebration is so popular, so have you discussed who sleeps next to him?"

The daughters looked at each other, no one spoke, and Ding Qingsheng said, "I want to sleep next to the eldest sister." ”

Zhang Fengrong stroked Ding Qingsheng's head with a smile and said, "Okay, you can sleep next to the eldest sister." ”

This night, the most difficult thing was Ding Fengjun, not because of how cold the hall was, but mainly because as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw Zhang Jilai, bloody in front of him, and seemed to say something to Ding Fengjun, Ding Fengjun listened hard, and finally heard what he said.

"Thank you, second brother, for helping me take care of my birthday. ”

Ding Fengjun replied to him with a smile: "What is polite between our brothers, that's all I can do for you." ”

"Second brother, in fact, I'm still worried, I'm afraid that Qingsheng's disobedience will make you angry, and when the time comes, you will get tired of him and abandon him. ”

Ding Fengjun pretended to be angry and said: "What are you talking about, is the second brother like that kind of person in your eyes? I can tell you, from the moment I brought Qingsheng home, I regarded him as my own son, no matter what happened in the future, I would not abandon him, I would treat my daughter the same way as Qingsheng, they are all my children, no matter when, where, for whatever reason, I will protect them well, and no one will be less!"

Zhang Jilai grinned, he looked at Ding Fengjun gratefully and said: "Second brother, I'm relieved to have your words, it's not too early, I have to go, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again in the future." ”

Ding Fengjun waved his hand at Zhang Jilai, who was getting farther and farther away, and before he could say anything else, Zhang Jilai had already disappeared from his sight. Ding Fengjun turned around and wanted to go home, but unexpectedly, he ran into Li Ergou again, and Li Ergou still looked like a hanger.

He said to Ding Fengjun with a smile: "Second brother, you can help take care of your brother's children, then my brother will also entrust it to you." ”

Ding Fengjun said angrily: "What kind of trouble are you kid making here, your brother is an adult, why do you need my care." ”

Li Ergou said a little unhappily: "But he's stupid, a fool's IQ is about the same as a child, he can't cook or do laundry, you can't watch him starve to death." ”

"What kind of are you talking about, he is stupid, but he is not so stupid that he doesn't even know how to eat and drink, I can tell you, I don't care about Zhang Tiedan's life and death, aren't you his brother, why don't you take care of him?"

Li Ergou suddenly became sad, he said with red eyes: "Second brother, have you forgotten? I am already dead, how can the dead take care of the living? Second brother, I am such a younger brother, you must take good care of him, my time is running out, I have to leave." ”

Ding Fengjun looked at Li Ergou, who was in tears, and muttered to himself: "You are dead? How can you die? What if you die Zhang Tiedan, why are you all dead, but I am still alive?"

Thinking of this, Ding Fengjun suddenly raised his head, wanting to find the answer from Li Ergou, but there was only an open space left in front of him, and in front of him were two raised grave bags.

"Where am I, and who is the man buried in this grave? No, I have to go home, and the children are still waiting for me." Ding Fengjun thought so in his heart, he ran with his legs pulled, but no matter how hard he ran, he could not run out of this prison place, and in the end, he sat paralyzed in this open space, only to feel that the world was spinning, and finally fainted.

Ding Fengjun was woken up by Zhang Fengrong, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw Zhang Fengrong's crying red eyes.

"What's wrong?" Ding Fengjun felt dizzy, he struggled a few times to sit up from the bed and hurriedly asked.

"Dad is sick, just now the third family came to say, Dad is hospitalized!"
