Memories: Brother and Xiaoying

It was an era of war, and the people in China were in a mess, and the war finally ended. But this does not mean that the people are truly living in peace and contentment.

The policy of the great men of the Chinese generation is to implement the public ownership of land. The people ate big pot rice, ate together, and farmed together, and China entered the era of the Great Leap Forward.

But once the big guys do it together, it's okay at first, and after a long time, some lazy guys will appear. I think that since I already have food to eat, it's okay not to work so hard, and it's okay to let others work harder. Over time, this kind of thinking appeared in everyone.

People in this era like to compare, and then there was a pompous style, what kind of sow race elephant appeared in the newspaper, and where there was a bumper harvest of hundreds of thousands of kilograms. As soon as the leaders came to inspect, the villagers blocked the granary from the inside, saying that it was full of grain and they couldn't even open it.

But not all of them are like that......

"O village chief! There is not enough food in our village to eat, what should we do? ”

"It's okay, Comrade Xiaoqin, you cook the rest of the grain porridge, everyone tighten their belts first. I'm going to apply to the leader and ask the government to give us some relief. ”

"Okay! Did you hear what the village chief said? Let's hold on tonight, and the village chief will apply for food, and we will make dumplings to eat! ”

"Okay! For the sake of the chairman, no matter how hard and tired he is, he is not afraid. ”

"Xiaoying, is there not enough food in our village?"

"Hmmm! Brother, you just came back, I don't know, this year's harvest in our village is very poor, and everyone has been able to survive until now. ”

"I read the newspaper at school, didn't I say that this year's wind and rain are smooth and the family has a good harvest?"

"Huh! Scold! Brother, you don't know if you're studying in the city, but this year's weather is dry, and everyone has worked hard, and they have just collected so much food. Xiao Ying smiled helplessly.

"Could it be that in the past two days, all we have eaten in our village is porridge?"

"Or else?" Xiao Ying asked, tilting her head.

"Xiaoying, come with me, I brought some delicious food back." The elder brother opened a small slit in the bag in his hand and showed it to Xiaoying.

"Ahh Manju ...... Manju"

"Shh The elder brother blocked Xiao Ying's mouth with his hand and looked around vigilantly, "Let's go, let's go find a place where no one is there and eat it." ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Ying nodded a little happily, "Brother, come with me!" ”

"Hey! Xiaoying, the porridge is almost ready! You take your brother there. ”

"It's okay Dad! We'll be back soon, just leave us a bowl. The elder brother squeaked back, and followed his sister to a wheat field.

"How about here, usually no one comes here at this time." Xiao Ying pulled her brother's hand and said.

"Hmmm! There's no one, so let's just sit there and eat. The elder brother pointed to a pile of wheat straw and said.

"Hey! Brother, what is this? Xiao Ying pointed to a ball of things in a plastic bag in her brother's bag and said.

"This is mustard, and when you eat steamed buns, you eat it with mustard, which is delicious." The elder brother handed the remaining half of the steamed bun to his sister, and took out the remaining small half of the mustard from the bag, "Come, taste it." ”

Xiaoying took a bite of the steamed bun, took out another mustard and put it in her mouth, "Wow! It's so delicious, the taste of this mustard seems to be different from the taste made by Grandma Li in our village! ”

"That's it! How can Grandma Li's mustard be compared to this. The elder brother took the steamed bun in Xiaoying's hand and broke some mustard from the middle, "Actually, the steamed bun is the best to eat with mustard in the middle." ”

"Really!" After Xiaoying took a bite, she couldn't help but gobble up the rest, and didn't forget to lick her fingers after eating.

"How? Are you full? ”

"Hmmm! Eat your fill! Thank you brother. Xiao Ying patted her little belly, and saw her brother smiling at her and Xiao Ying thought of something, "That...... Brother, don't you eat? ”

The elder brother smiled and shook his head, "This itself is for Xiaoying to bring you, drink more porridge when you go back next time, it's too dry to eat steamed buns." ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Ying looked at her brother and nodded.

"Wait a minute!" The elder brother hurriedly stopped Xiao Ying, took out something from his pocket and put it on Xiao Ying's little hand, "I almost forgot, this is a gift I brought you." ”

"Huh? What is this. Xiao Ying looked at something that looked like a 'pebble' in her hand, and she was still carrying the packaging.

The elder brother smiled and pointed to the 'pebble' in Xiaoying's hand and said, "This is called fructose, it is strawberry-flavored, try it." ”

"Hmm~" Xiao Ying looked at the fructose in her hand by the moonlight, and didn't know where to start.

The elder brother smiled, removed the transparent plastic packaging of fructose, and stuffed the fructose into Xiaoying's mouth.

"Fructose is so hard. I can't even bite my teeth. ”

"Hey~ This is not like this, you have to put it in your mouth and let it melt slowly, just like you usually eat sugar."

"Is that so?" Xiaoying opened her mouth and protected fructose with her tongue.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it. ”

"Hmm~ It's delicious!" Xiaoying was completely immersed in the deliciousness of fructose.

The elder brother looked at his sister with a happy look on his face and smiled lightly.

"Brother! Brother! Next time you come back, bring me some more! Okay no! Okay no! Xiao Ying pulled the corner of her brother's clothes and said expectantly.

"Absolutely! Later, my brother grew up and earned money. Buy candy for our Xiaoying every day! ”

"Hey! Hey! I knew my brother was the best! ”

"That's it! Let's go back early! Lest our dad worry when the time comes. ”

"Hmmm! Let's go, go back! ”

The next day, the village chief went to apply for food, but the grain was not approved as scheduled. Everyone was hungry for several days, unable to stand up, and some began to eat the bark. Even the tree insects in the trees have become a delicacy. Under such circumstances, the village chief reluctantly made a decision to harvest half of the grain ahead of schedule.

Hearing the news, the villagers didn't know where they got their strength, so they picked up the sickle and went to the ground. The people in the cafeteria used the unripe grain to cook several large pots of rice. Although the rice cooked from unripe grain is hard and astringent, it is indeed a delicious meal for these villagers who have not eaten for several days.

After eating this meal of rice, my brother also embarked on the road to study.

This is a time of unrest. A few years later, Huaxia set up a criticism group to conduct criticism every day and night. Maybe today you are being criticized by others, or tomorrow you may be the one who is being criticized. However, this criticism is still targeted, and it is unfortunate that my brother is among the people who have been criticized. The brother who was forced to be helpless had to flee in all directions.

"Brother, why are you still here! Didn't you say you'd be gone? ”

"Yes...... However, I still don't worry about you......" My brother lowered his head, "My father died early, and I only have you as a relative." ”

"Brother don't worry about me, what they're looking for is you and not me. Brother, you go out to hide for a while, and then come back when the limelight is over! ”

"But, Xiaoying ......"

"Alright, brother, let's go!" Xiaoying pushed her brother out of the door, "I won't be able to leave if it's too late." ”

"Wait...... Wait a minute! The elder brother thought of something, turned around and grabbed Xiaoying's hand, opened Xiaoying's hand, and put a small packet of fructose in Xiaoying's hand tremblingly, "This year is your twelfth birthday, and my brother has nothing to give you, this is what my brother has saved money to buy in the past few months, so I will take it as your birthday gift." ”

Xiao Ying looked down at the small packet of fructose in her hand, there were about ** pieces. Although it is not much, Xiaoying feels her brother's full love for her.

"Whew!" Xiao Ying's tears flowed uncontrollably, "Brother is really, when has this happened, and you are still doing this." ”

"Hey! He's there! Catch him. ”

"Brother, let's go, I'll stop them!" Xiao Ying pushed her brother away.

Hearing the shouts of the villagers, the elder brother was forced to run out of the village.

"Xiaoying, you wait, one day my brother will come back to you."

Seeing the back of her brother leaving, Xiao Ying seemed to be relieved and muttered, "Stupid brother, as long as you live well, it's fine." ”

"The leader is the sister of the person just now, what do you think." When the villagers saw that the elder brother had run away, they had no choice but to arrest the younger sister.

"Pressed it up and hung it from a tree at the entrance of the village. I don't think his brother will come back to save her! ”

"Yes...... But leader, wouldn't that be too cruel......"

"What do you know, for these lawbreakers with such a low ideological consciousness, this should be done."

"My brother is not an outlaw."

"Smack!"

As soon as Xiao Ying opened her mouth, she was slapped in the face by the fat leader, "What do you know, your brother is making a riot." To take the bourgeois road, this is the outlaw. Come on, tie me to this little girl to a tree, and I wonder if his brother will come. ”

The villagers tied Xiaoying to a tree. Xiaoying lowered her head, still believing in her heart that her brother was not a criminal. Although it is very aggrieved to be tied up here, Xiaoying still keeps praying in her heart, hoping that her brother can escape the pursuit.

"Leader, you see it's been a few days, or let's let her go!"

"Put? Who is responsible for running away when the time comes? You! ”

"This ...... This ...... "The villagers began to stumble.

"Look at it! Don't let her run away! ”

"Yes!"

The food in the village itself is not enough, Xiaoying has not eaten for two days, and cracks have appeared in her dry mouth.

Xiao Ying raised her head weakly and looked into the distance.

"My brother should have left, so it's fine...... Woo...... That's fine......" Xiaoying lowered her head again, and tears flowed involuntarily.

"But, but, people are so unwilling! Whining...... People still want to see their brother again,...... Woo...... One side is good, one side is good. ”

"Poor child, I can grant your wishes." An unfamiliar voice sounded out of nowhere.

"You...... Are you ......," Xiao Ying asked weakly with her dry mouth slightly open.

"You don't care who I am, sleep kid! Go to sleep! It's good to fall asleep. There seemed to be magic in the voice.

Xiao Ying felt a pair of warm hands caressing her cheeks and helped her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Hmm!" Xiao Ying lowered her head and hummed in an inaudible voice.

"Sleep, kid, when you open your eyes, you'll be able to see your brother. Go to sleep. ”

Xiao Ying had never felt that her eyes were so tired, as if a mountain was pressing on them.

"Sleep, kid! Have a good dream! ”

As the voice went away, Xiaoying seemed to see her brother smiling at her in the sunset, her brother saved herself and took herself to live a new life, and her brother would buy candy for Xiaoying every day. Gradually, my brother grew up and had his own children, my brother's children were very naughty and often naughty, my brother was very busy, and every time I needed to come out to help my brother's children solve trouble, but in the evening, my brother would still find time to sit at the dinner table and have a happy meal.

The next morning, the villagers found Xiao Ying dead tied to a tree. He died so peacefully, as if he had seen something beautiful. The dress that Xiaoying was wearing at that time is said to have been given by her brother on Xiaoying's 11th birthday. When the villagers untied Xiao Ying tied to the tree, they found that Xiao Ying was holding a small bag of fructose tightly in her hand......
