Four years later.

On this day, Fan Ermao was listening to his aunt's fortune telling at home, when he heard someone shouting outside the gate: "Fan Ermao, your letter." Ermao heard the shout and hurried out of the door. The postman handed over a letter for Ermao to sign for, and then left.

Fan Ermao took the letter and walked to the courtyard, and when he saw that the envelope was from Yunnan, he knew that it was a letter from Wu Hao, so he opened the envelope while walking, and opened it to Ermao and read it.

"Auntie, Ermao: Hello!

I haven't seen you for a few years, and I miss you guys so much. It's time for us to harvest the wheat again, how is the wheat growing this year? It must be another good harvest year. At the end of last year, the child's father died, it should be said that he finished his life, when I shot him, I went to the court to collect the body, his wife here did not let me collect, not even a glance, only allowed his parents to go, the child was not allowed to participate in the funeral, I heard that the funeral was very grand, according to their customs here burial, buried under a mountain corner, I went to his cemetery several times, every time I saw my heart was broken, a lonely grave settled under the empty corner, I wanted to move back to my hometown, but his wife here did not let me, I heard that the woman had taken the child by herself, and the child was three or four years old. Auntie is really as you said, it seems that I have really drifted in a foreign land. She didn't let me move the child's father's ashes, and I didn't leave, I wanted to accompany him here to raise the child to adulthood, and I got the child. My parents-in-law didn't go back after they came last year, and the women over there are still alive, and I'm going to take them over in a few days.

I just bought a house here, a big yard, five three-story courtyards on the street, I live in the backyard with my children, and the front two floors of the courtyard I have renovated into a small hotel; I made a small store under the big threshold, selling some loose goods, life is still passable, auntie, thank you for guiding me when I am confused, caring for me, I am very good now, the past hurdle, I have also seen through the red dust, auntie, don't worry, I am very good now.

Is Ermao good? Ermao, find a woman to start a family, and if you become a family, you will have a settlement, and your heart will be steady. Ermao, you are a good person, I miss you. You are another sustenance in my heart, you have to live well, take care of your aunt, and learn art with your aunt, then it will be your capital to eat, you must study hard. I'm here to worry about you, and you comfort me when I'm lost, thank you, I miss you.

Brother Ermao, I call you brother, my tears are already in my face, I really miss you. My man has given me marriage, family, children, and pain. You gave me a different kind of emotion, and gave me spiritual and physical comfort when I was lost, thank you, thank you.

Brother Ermao, I miss you so much. Since the day I was good to you, I have fallen in love with you, and others must have said that I am cheap, Brother Ermao, what is cheap? The powerful men and women are romantic, and the extramarital affairs of our ordinary people are obscene and dirty, and thousands of years of traditional morality are like a deep chasm, which is not something that our ordinary people can overcome. Brother Ermao, I don't have the ability to cross the gap of traditional morality, for him, for the sake of the child, I lost. He went, although he went to be filthy and unspeakable, but now I don't hate him, the world is hard, each has his own aspirations, and he hurts other people's egos for his self, and he is to blame; But I don't hate him, I want to stay here, one is to be able to see him, burn paper for him, and send some money. The second is for the children, I want to raise these two children for him, the children are right, living in our hometown will drown them to death, unable to raise their heads to live, thinking of these my heart is broken, it hurts. Living here, the city is big, which is conducive to the growth of children, and no matter how hard and tired I am, I have to pull them up. Ermao, I miss you so much, I let you down. Ermao, find a woman to settle down in a serious way, forget about me, I'm not a good woman, find a good girl, settle down, ah! I'll be worried about you, Brother Ermao.

Hello to my aunt! I wish my aunt good health and a long life! Wu Hao. ”

Fan Ermao read the letter, tears were rolling in his eyes, walked straight to his room through the hall, and after entering the room, he turned over and lay on the bed, at this time Ermao couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and the tears came out of his eyes and slid down his cheeks.

In the evening, the two of them drank the soup and sat under the oil lamp, Fan Ermao plucked the lamp with a needle and said, "Auntie, Wu Hao has sent a letter." ”

"What does the letter say?"

"Look at it." Fan Ermao took out the letter from his pocket and handed it over as he spoke.

The widow took the letter, found her glasses, and read it by the oil lamp.

After reading Wu Hao's letter, the widow took off her glasses, looked at Ermao and said very heavily: "A hard-working person, quite a good person, it is also fate to come to this point." Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and the well-wishers have no way out. Judging from the letter, she also bought a house, which is good. When was the last time she wrote to you? ”

"I've written twice before, the first letter said that her man had been found, and two years ago there was a letter saying that her man had an accident, and there was no letter in the past two years, and today I received the third letter; Fortunately, the letter said that she was at home, and I was happy for her. Ermao was a little infarcted when he spoke.

"Ermao, people live for a lifetime. In this life, people take different paths and pursue different goals, but basically they are all seeking the amount of wealth and the level of officials. As far as a man is concerned, wealth is the first goal he pursues, because men shoulder more responsibilities for survival, so the first thing to look at the man's life is to look closely at the wealth star, the prosperity and weakness of the wealth star determine the happiness and disaster of the man's life. And look at the female life first to talk about the official star in detail, women are more responsible for the continuation and prosperity of the family, so look at the female life of the first official star to talk about the prosperity and weakness of the official star, the female life official star has strong vitality, the natural family is prosperous, and the children are rich and prosperous.

For men, wealth is the source of life and the source of hard work, and men are industrious and brave when they are prosperous; The female official Wang is a noble family, and the husband helps the family. Therefore, the ancients also referred to wives and concubines as wealth, and officials as husbands and lovers. In a practical sense, it is correct for a man to marry a wife is the first pot of gold that a man has taken out, and it is also the first gold mine for a man. For women, a woman marries a husband and serves as an official, and the official star is the husband of the woman, and the husband is the woman's shelter thereafter, the backbone, the sky, and the house; So whether the backbone is thick or not, whether the sky is empty on this day, whether the house is gold bricks and jade tiles, and whether the house is leaking and bent depends on the woman's creation.

Let's just say that Wu is a good child, the eight-character official killing is mixed, the fate of the husband and the partial husband coexist, the official star is the husband, the husband is dead, and he is also a poor person, fate! She doesn't want to take this road, but the vicissitudes of the world, who can guarantee that there will be no changes in her life?

What is the sin of a man seeking wealth to support his family, but a man is too wealthy, and he will do whatever it takes to pursue wealth. Hurting the freedom of food is better than robbing the selfish will of the self; Injuries without seals to balance, than without officials to balance, will be sneaky. The two wealths are troubled, the positive wealth must be separated by the wife, and the partial wealth must go to the room to build a nest and start another stove. Therefore, the ancients also referred to concubines as partial wealth, men who are wealthy and prosperous marry more concubines, and have multiple wives, you will often see how rich people with multiple wives are, and it is difficult for people who are not wealthy to set up concubines, and people who are prosperous pay attention to the feelings of husband and wife and family happiness. People are satisfied, and they ask for wealth and the wealth of the right way, and they cannot live better than others. If you don't know how to enjoy the wealth of people who are not satisfied, Wu Hao's man is too wealthy, he has no external conditions at home, he still keeps to himself, and the environment changes when he goes out, and there are factors that naturally produce results, and there is no virtue, and he dares to take ill-gotten gains, as Wu Hao said, he is to blame. Wu Haoren has a good heart, she is now settling down in a foreign country and raising her children, she has also passed this hurdle, fate is created, and fortune and misfortune make people. ”

"Auntie I know, I understand her. May she be safe in a foreign land. ”

"It's good if you have this heart. Ermao, it's not that I will fall on you, you are destined to be obsessed, and sooner or later you will suffer. ”

"Auntie, I remember your words."

"A good dog can't change eating, you remember, who believes it?"

"I'll remember."

"Remember not to remember you, anyway, I don't care if you don't have a long life, your brother wrote a few days ago to ask me to go to him, he is now assigned work, and the family has been settled, let me go to live with him, how can I shirk, I will go in a few days, this home is left to you to take care of, you are more comfortable at home alone, what do you want, no one cares, you are so self-conscious."

"You're gone, what should I do, stay with my brother for a long time?"

"Not necessarily. You can plant my two points of land at home, and you will not starve to death. I'll stay there for a while, and maybe I'll be back in a year and a half. ”

"Middle, auntie, you go, you should also go to the city to enjoy the blessings."

"What kind of Qingfuye, your aunt doesn't have that life, I know in my heart, Ermao, if I leave, this life will come to an end." There was sadness in the words.

"Look at what your aunt said, you are in good health, and what you say is solid to the end."

"Ermao, my aunt is content! Your brother is now a state cadre who eats imperial grain, and he is also a big man in our Fangyuan, I raised him as a widow and raised him, and trained him to be a useful person in the public family, I am content, but I calculated that he will have a detour in the future. This time, go to me to talk about him well, as for whether you listen to me or not, it's up to him. ”

"Listen, aunt, my brother is filial."

"Ermao, I said before, that kid is a good boy, but the law is not all afraid that he will be difficult to rot outside, he ordered the root to rob the wealth, and then rob the fortune, the wealth star is controlled, how can the official star be protected? Alas! If there is a good husband Wu, what can I do that day. Then he became sad again.

"Auntie, you're thinking too much."

The two of them chatted again and went to rest.

After a few days, Fan Ermao was busy packing up the tools used to harvest the wheat, and the tools were packed up; I was busy going to the front of the village to play a scene, and I partnered with Linjia to organize the scene.

On this day, everyone was busy in front of the village, and saw a car speeding in the distance, and the car came to the front of the village and stopped abruptly, and then walked down from the car A young man, who saw that the young man was vigorous, brightly dressed, full of vitality and vitality, really like a big tree, and his temperament was extraordinary.

Everyone saw that it was the son of the Laifu family, so everyone gathered around.

The young man walked up to greet everyone with a smile on his face, saw the old man called Daddy, handed over a cigarette casually, and saw the older woman called Auntie, and said a few words. Then he walked up to Fan Ermao and said, "Brother Ermao, is my mother at home?" ”

"At home, at home." Fan Ermao nodded again and again, and then looked at this brother carefully, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, Ermao saw a trace of awe-inspiring majesty from his eyebrows, and couldn't help but be in awe in his heart.

Fan Ermao hurriedly put down the work at hand and followed the widow's son to the house, the car stopped outside the gate, the door opened, the widow's son got out of the car, opened the back door, and from behind came down a fashionably dressed and elegant girl, and saw the girl get out of the car and look at the gate, then looked at the widow's son and asked, "This is your home?" ”

"Yes, let's go inside, my mother is at home."

"Okay, you go ahead." The girl said happily, looking around, and felt that everything was fresh.

The widow's son came back and said to the driver, "Get out of the car and go into the house for a cup of tea." ”

"Okay." The driver got out of the car and followed the widow's son into the yard.

The widow in the hall was sitting on the east side facing west, smoking a cigarette, and when she turned her face to see the crowd approaching, she saw her son at a glance, and her expression of surprise was full of affection and love. Involuntarily stood up, walked over to meet the crowd, and walked

Standing at the door and waiting for everyone to enter the house, the widow's son had just stepped into the threshold, and the widow stepped forward and grabbed her son's hand, and said with a kind smile: "Son, why don't you say hello when you come back, so that Ermao can pick you up." ”

"Mother, what to pick up, I came with a car, ready to pick you up."

"Huh, so fast?"

"It's arranged over there, and you're left to go. Let me introduce you to you, this is your future daughter-in-law, my college classmate, who came to see you today. ”

"Ah, what a beautiful girl," he said and let go of his son, stepped forward and grabbed the girl's hand, and said: "Ah, look at what a good person, the blessings of my family for several generations have made my son meet you, it is really the smoke in the ancestral tomb."

Finish. Sit in the fast house. The girl saw her mother-in-law for the first time, and was praised by her mother-in-law, her face was flushed, and she lowered her head embarrassedly and followed her mother-in-law inside.

Ermaoyan hurriedly brought a small stool and handed it over.

After everyone sat down, the courtyard was already full of adults and children, all of them craned their necks to look inside.

After a few words of greeting, the widow's son said: "Mother, pack up and let's go, the car is public, there are many things in the office, and there are still more than 100 miles to go, so I can't sit for a long time." ”

"If you have anything to pack, just take a few clothes with you. Ermao packed it up, and wrapped it up next to the bedside in my room. ”

When Fan Ermao heard this, he hurriedly went into the inner room.

After a while, Fan Ermao came out with a burden, the widow's son stood up and took the burden, turned around and handed it to the driver behind him, then looked at Fan Ermao and said: "Brother Ermao, let's go, this home is handed over to you, take good care of it." ”

"Middle, middle, brother, you can rest assured, your home is my home, rest assured, rest assured."
