Wang Yong walked alone on the street, with a deliberate smile on his face, and reluctantly greeted the people around him. As an extremely introverted person, this kind of scene is the last thing he wants to experience.

But people become human beings because of the society they live in. In order not to be the object of criticism behind his back, even he had to succumb to certain conventions and traditions.

In order to make himself feel better, he couldn't help but speed up his pace. Many times, he wondered if he was going to suddenly disappear one day and become a real hermit in an inaccessible place.

"Wang Yong? Why are you still wandering around here? Your sixth uncle is back! Hurry home! ”

Wang Yong was stunned the moment he heard this voice!

Sixth uncle?

What an unfamiliar name! But soon, without allowing him to think about it, in less than a second, an ecstatic expression immediately appeared on Wang Yong's face.

Sixth Uncle, this is a name that is deeply hidden in the depths of his memory. The sixth uncle is actually the third in the family, and he is called the sixth uncle, because he is the sixth in the old Wang family in the village.

Regarding the memory of the sixth uncle, Wang Yong is most impressed by the fact that every time the sixth uncle comes back, he will always be able to eat one or several good meals and dishes! The good food here is just fish and meat.

Buy three yuan of pork belly at the market, and buy a cheap silver carp with some blood, such a meal, even during the Chinese New Year, you can only eat it at noon on 30.

And the sixth uncle will always secretly give himself some pocket money, five cents, one piece. At most, he secretly gave Wang Yong five yuan!

Five bucks!

You must know that the best pork belly at that time was only a little more than a pound! Five yuan is enough for Wang Yong's family of three to spend a month, and there may be a surplus!

How could Wang Yong not look at the sixth uncle differently, how could he not make him ecstatic?

It's just that the sixth uncle hasn't heard from him for several years, and the last news about him was when he heard that he was buried in the ground when he was digging coal in the coal mine.

But when Wang Hai hurriedly rushed to the coal mine where the sixth uncle worked with the last savings of his family, he heard another news that made him feel bittersweet.

The sixth uncle was not underground at the time of the mining disaster. So nothing at all. The sixth uncle is fine, this undoubtedly makes Wang Hai smile immediately when he is an elder brother, and the younger brother is okay, this is the best news!

But then, I heard that because of this accident, Uncle Sixth had a shadow in his heart about going down the well, and he had resigned from here. For example, a worker said that he went to a city in the south to join a worker in his hometown.

The sea of people is vast, and for the city thousands of miles away, Wang Hai, who only has a few yuan left in his pocket, can only sigh and pray silently in his heart. I hope God will bless this hard-working brother and all the best!

Wang Yong didn't know much about the sixth uncle. Even in recent years, whether at home or in the village, his status has been so high that it is unimaginable for ordinary people.

However, regarding the topic of the sixth uncle, it seems that the whole village regards this as a taboo, and no one has ever talked about it with him.

Wang Yong still secretly listened to others when they chatted, and it seems that he vaguely remembers that when his grandmother was still alive, he always sighed and talked about the sixth uncle.

When she took her last breath, she still widened her eyes and searched the crowd, and everyone knew that the old man was looking for her little son.

back then. The sixth uncle seems to have fallen out with almost the whole village because of a relationship. After that, he rarely returned to the village, even if he did. He only lived in his brother Wang Hai's house for two or three days, did his filial piety in front of his mother, and then disappeared from the village again.

In that year, Wang Hai made the first money in the greenhouse. After paying off all the debts that kept him out of breath for years. immediately took the rest of the money, with the expectations of Wang Yong and his mother, and stepped on the southbound train. In that legendary city with six uncles, it took more than half a month to find it.

When the money was spent and he had to regretfully step on the train home, looking at the strange city outside through the glass of the window, he couldn't help but cry like rain when he was no longer confused.

"I didn't find the sixth child!"

When he returned home, Wang Hai put down this sentence, lay down on the kang, and slept for a full day and a night. It's just that his vaguely swaying figure let Wang Yong know that his heart is not as calm as it seems on the surface.

Uncle Six, since then, has become a knot in my father's heart!

Reading between the lines, Wang Yong could hear that his father was resentful of his failure to help the younger brother of the sixth uncle at that time. This led to the sixth uncle not returning home all these years and wandering outside all the year round.

Even sometimes, even my mother often inadvertently looks at the south in a daze, and one stop is a more than ten minutes of motionless in a daze. Wang Yong knew that it was his mother who was missing her little uncle, the sixth uncle that Wang Yong was most concerned about.

When my mother first got married, it was because my father Wang Hai had a sixth uncle, a younger brother who was earning money outside, otherwise Wang Hai, who had a sick old mother on the kang, was surrounded by four walls, and I am afraid I don't know how long it will take to marry a daughter-in-law!

After the family had money, my parents never mentioned rebuilding a house like the people in the village. In order to strengthen this old house, which has been more than ten years old, Wang Hai spent enough money to build a two-story small building in the village.

"This was built by your sixth uncle at the expense of that year! It cost more than 3,000 yuan! It is one of the best in the whole township! ”

When talking about this, Dad Wang Hai always looked excited and proud. This stone foundation, made of blue bricks, can imagine what kind of sensation it caused in the village at that time!

This is the only thing Wang Yong heard from his father about the past of the sixth uncle. In addition, when it comes to the sixth uncle, Wang Hai will always lock himself in the house and be silent for several days.

The sixth uncle is a scar in my father's heart, and every time he uncovers it, blood will always come out. As time passed, this wound not only showed no good signs, but seemed to be worsening, because as the money increased, Wang Hai had more and more bad moods.

When I miss my sixth uncle, my father always takes out a yellowed old photo that he has personally collected and looks at it non-stop. Sometimes he would talk to himself with tears on his face, and pour out his thoughts and worries to the photos.

This re-molded photo is his most precious item, even Wang Liang, the most favored youngest son, was once joined by his mother and father because he secretly took his photo to show off with his mother, and the mixed doubles were beaten, and the end was extremely miserable!

The tragic situation of calling every day should not be and calling the earth and the earth not working, made Wang Liang firmly remember one thing when he was a child - the photo in his father's pocket cannot be touched!

Every year on the days of the Chinese New Year, when the family eats, there will always be an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks on the table, and the family, including the young Wang Liang, knows that it is prepared for the person in the photo.

Because of that mixed doubles, Wang Liang had a resentment from the bottom of his heart for this sixth uncle who had never met before, so that the word sixth uncle never came out of his mouth.

In fact, Wang Yong also secretly saw that photo. It's just that he was luckier than Wang Liang and was not discovered!

The sixth uncle in the photo is heroic and strong, but in fact, the only few times Wang Yong saw the sixth uncle, he felt that the sixth uncle was thinner and weaker every time, and he felt a little weak.

"Bell bell bell ......"

A phone ringing woke Wang Yong up from his memories, and as soon as he took out the phone and connected it, his mother's irrepressible excited voice came:

"Where's the eldest son? Guess who's coming to the house? ”

From the voice, Wang Yong clearly felt that his mother must be trembling and calling him again, I'm afraid she still can't believe that the sixth uncle is back.

"My sixth uncle is back!"

Wang Yong's voice was full of peace, and there seemed to be a unique magical ability, which made the mother on the other end of the phone feel the firmness in her son's words, and made her realize that her little brother-in-law Lao Liu was really back, and she was not dreaming.

"Well, your sixth uncle is really back, on the shuttle bus of our house, your Uncle Li called me, and he will be home soon!"

"Did Westinghouse clean it up for my sixth uncle?"

"Oops!"

After my mother screamed, the phone was immediately disconnected.

My own Westinghouse, since my grandmother passed away, has never lived in it again. But the ondol in the West House has not been removed, and even the furnishings have not been moved. Every year on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, my mother will clean up seriously.

Even when Mrs. Ye was going to settle in Wangjiazhuang, the first thought of Wang Hai and his wife was not to let the old lady live in their own westhouse, but to help her choose another house.

Because, in the hearts of their husband and wife, they have always believed that the Westinghouse of this house, and even this house, belong to the sixth uncle. It was, it is, and it must be ...... (To be continued.) )
