But it doesn't matter to Nie Jianguo, he has grown up and can support his family with his own strength. When his parents were there, the family environment was not bad, and he had already gone to college for a year. After the storm came, his university was also affected and classes were suspended.

Now that his parents are gone, in order to make a living, he has been pulling bricks in a brick factory in Yanjiao to earn money. In order to earn a few more dollars, he has to pull 200 kilograms of red bricks every time, dozens of times a day, to ensure the family's expenses. This made his already thin body gradually unbearable, coupled with long-term malnutrition, it didn't take long for Nie Jianguo to fall ill.

The current condition in their family is that his hands will stop when his mouth stops, and in order not to let his younger siblings go hungry, he will go to buy blood. In the past few months, Nie Jianguo, who was in his prime of youth, has become thinner and thinner, and he is almost no longer human.

On this day, in order to let his younger siblings eat some vegetables, he ran to a cabbage field dozens of kilometers away from home, wanting to pick up some rotten leaves that others don't want. But when he happily brought back the cabbage leaves and was about to go home, he found that his door was full of people.

He hurriedly pushed through the crowd and saw a group of uniformed police officers inside his house. One of them asked him, "Are you Nie Jianguo?" ”

Nie Jianguo was a little dumbfounded, and he nodded stunned. The man continued: "In the morning, the neighborhood committee came to your house to inform you of the matter, and found that the door of your house was open, but after calling for a long time and no one answered, they went in on their own, and found that your brother and sister were lying on the ground, so they immediately sent them to the hospital. You might as well go to the hospital and see how they're doing first. ”

Nie Jianguo finally understood, and he ran to the hospital like crazy. Sure enough, Aunt Liu of the neighborhood committee was also there, and as soon as she saw Nie Jianguo coming, she said with tears in her eyes: "Jianguo, you listen to Auntie, if you want to open some, it's all fate!" ”

Nie Jianguo seemed to have guessed that something terrible must have happened, but he still smiled and said to Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, don't scare me, you have watched me grow up, what can I not think of?" ”

Aunt Liu sniffed and said, "Jianjun and Jianying...... Gone! We were supposed to inform your parents about it today, but we didn't expect to find these two children lying on the ground, probably because it was a little cold in the house, and they actually opened the lid of the coal stove, and as a result, both of them let the gas hit, and when we sent it, people ...... People are cold. ”

After hearing this, Nie Jianguo came to a conclusion: his younger brothers and sisters all died of gas, and his parents also had an accident. Parents? "What's wrong with my mom and dad?" He asked Aunt Liu suddenly.

Aunt Liu said with a sad face: "Your father became ill from hard work in the Northeast and died of lung disease. Your mother, she couldn't think about it for a while, so she followed. ”

Nie Jianguo sat on the ground, he knew that the sky had fallen......

With the help of the neighborhood committee, Nie Jianguo handled the funeral of his younger siblings and brought back the ashes of his parents, and he continued to live alone in this world. Within a few years, his parents' affairs were rehabilitated, and when government workers came to his house, they found that Nie Jianguo was gone, but his father, mother, younger brother, sister and his own portraits were neatly placed in his home......

Speaking of this, Nie Zhijun saw that Zhang Liang was listening with relish, and said: "The story is gone here." ”

"Ahh No, what about Nie Jianguo? Where did he go? Is it life or death? Zhang Liang asked like a curious baby.

Nie Zhijun said: "He has never been seen again, there are rumors that he died, he died in the courtyard of their house, and some say that he was picked up by relatives overseas." Anyway, there's no more to it. ”

Zhang Liang suddenly remembered something, so he asked Nie Zhijun: "Is this true?" He has the same surname as you, so he won't be your relative! ”

Nie Zhijun said with a smile: "The real thing is the real thing, but it is pure coincidence that he has the same surname as me." ”

Zhang Liang was bored with himself, so he smiled stupidly, maybe it was because of the drink, Zhang Liang slept very early that night.

At two o'clock in the morning, "click...... Click......"

The familiar footsteps came in from the courtyard again, Nie Zhijun got out of bed with a wooden expression, stood at the door and whispered: "You guys, don't worry, it's fast, it's fast......"

When Zhang Liang woke up the next morning, he finally knew what a hangover was. His head was dizzy and aching, but he went out to work neatly. The person in charge of the cram school is surnamed Zhao, and Zhang Liang keeps calling her Sister Zhao.

As soon as he entered the door of the cram school, Sister Zhao stopped him and said, "Xiao Zhang, are you uncomfortable?" Why is your face so bad! ”

Zhang Liang is not stupid, he came up and said that he drank high yesterday, which was too embarrassing, and he had to leave a good impression on everyone on the first day of work, so he said to her: "Oh, maybe I had a cold last night, you don't know, the house I live in has no heating, and now it's so cold that I have to turn on the electric heater every night, a burst of heat and a burst of cold." ”

"Ah, this can't be done, Xiao Zhang, you better find a better place, now in Beijing, how can you stand it if you don't get warm?" After hearing this, Sister Zhao's mother's love was overflowing.

Xiao Zhang waved his hand and said that it was no big deal, he was also a big man, what was it to suffer this little hardship! When it is stable in the future, I will definitely change to a house closer to my workplace. Sister Zhao saw that he said it so easily, so she didn't say anything more.

Zhang Liang's first day of work was quite easy, and he asked himself that it was not too much of a problem to deal with these junior high school students. In addition, he is a new male teacher, so he is naturally quite popular with everyone. After work, he went to the second-hand furniture market to pick up a second-hand desk.

Brother Nie is also a writer, so you can't always squeeze together with him and use a table. He borrowed a tricycle from his boss and pulled it back himself.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Nie Zhijun standing in the courtyard in a daze, and it was strange to say, this Nie brother always gave him a mysterious feeling, maybe everything he saw was just a superficial phenomenon......

"Xiao Zhang, what are you pulling?" Nie Zhijun saw the things on Zhang Liang's tricycle at a glance.

"Oh, I've gotten another second-hand desk so you don't have to squeeze a desk with me." Zhang Liang replied.

Nie Zhijun said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm letting you spend money again, I'll give you the money in a while." ”

Zhang Liang hurriedly said: "No, no!" It's second-hand, not much money! Besides, I'm also a second-hand landlord now, so I have to make sure you have all the supplies, don't you? ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and together they carried the table into the room. After setting up the table, Zhang Liang said, "Yes, Brother Nie, you will use this table in the future." I used the old one, I looked, this new desk drawer is all good, unlike the old one, there is a drawer that is broken, I can't open it. ”

Who knew that Nie Zhijun said: "Don't don't, I'll use this old one, write on it with inspiration, you use the new one, you have a lot of things, just put it in these drawers." ”

Zhang Liang was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Ah, look at it, I originally wanted to use it for you, but now it's cheaper for me." After saying that, he smiled and didn't say anything else.
