Zhao Zhiqiang, who was thin and tall, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and a slightly pale face, wrapped in an army green cotton coat, propped up his weak body, and was looking out of the window with some anxiety and blankness.

"It's a ...... of the New Year"

Zhao Zhiqiang let out a long sigh.

Today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

In a small mountain village near the sea in the northeastern coastal mountain city of Linzhou, firecrackers began to be set off. And his family didn't even have a second kick.

Slowly retracting his gaze, listening to the noise coming from the hall, Zhao Zhiqiang felt uncomfortable in his heart.

At this time, the hall was full of people, but these people did not come to visit relatives and friends.

They are all here to ask for debts. Today, according to the northeast custom, is the beginning of the new year, some of the money that should be recovered, wait until today can no longer wait, door-to-door collection, for many people, there is no way, even if it is Chinese New Year's Eve during the day, there will be people squatting and waiting.

It had been half a month since he returned from the army in Western Xinjiang, and only after he came back did he know that his family was destitute. And owed a lot of debt. He came back, but he didn't have a dime in the discharge allowance, and in a way, he was sent back.

Ay......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh to himself, but if he came again, he would do it without hesitation.

Carrying a thermos bottle, stiffening his weak body, pouring hot water one by one, picking up half a box of two pieces of red camellia from the gray and black cabinet, handing cigarettes to the second uncle and others, squeezing out a smile on his face, and serving carefully.

This is the situation of the Zhao family now.

"Second uncle, third aunt, second aunt, third aunt, old uncle, fourth grandfather, Uncle Wang, Brother Zhang...... my mother is hospitalized, my father has not come back yet, this cold day will let you come in person, come, drink some water first, warm up.".

After that, Zhao Zhiqiang worked hard to stand up straight, his face was a little red because of his bowed head, and his voice trembled a little, "Daqiang is here to thank you!" In the past three years as a soldier, I didn't even know that my mother was sick, and I didn't take care of it, thanks to your help! My mother can live, you are my strong benefactor! It's almost the New Year, and this account is owed for three years and can't be delayed any longer, please rest assured, my salary in the army will come back soon, and the money owed will definitely be repaid! ”

"Thank you, second uncle, third aunt, second aunt, third aunt, old uncle, fourth grandfather, Uncle Wang, big brother Zhang......" Zhao Zhiqiang bowed......

Everyone looked at each other.

Many people let out a long sigh, and some women couldn't help but sobbed quietly, looking at this home, which didn't look like home at all, and couldn't stay any longer.

"Daqiang, we are not here to ask for accounts, hey, this is also when I heard that you are back, and there is a hope in my heart...... Forget it, let's find a way, your cousin Shunzi is in a hurry to buy a house and wait for money, then, I'll go back first. ”

The third aunt next to him glared at his wife, "What kind of play are you telling your child!" Is the house important? Let's go, let's figure it out again! ”

"Daqiang, alas, the second uncle still has two hundred, don't you go to the hospital in a while, bring some food for your mother, her body is on dialysis, it's not comfortable, I won't go to the hospital, I'll go back to the mountains." After speaking, he left without raising his head.

"Alas, hundreds of thousands, how can it be done, this is? Iniquity......"

"Daqiang, although there is not much rice and white noodles, I have yours if I have it." The same village was small, Tang Roller turned around and went out in tears.

Zhao Zhiqiang held his weak body and sent these relatives and friends away one by one.

Zhao Zhigang, who is taller than Zhao Zhiqiang but looks thinner, was worried about cooking for people in the kitchen before, and later sent away these relatives who were rescued with his brother, and looked at his brother's appearance of falling in the wind, and hurriedly said, "Brother, you are not well yet, go and lie down." ”

Zhao Zhiqiang stood up with his hand on the door frame, and smiled on his pale face, "I'm fine, today is much better than yesterday, don't believe it, look!" ~" He moved his arm a few times to corroborate what he said.

Younger brother Zhao Zhigang believed his brother's words, "Brother! How much money can you really make by going on missions in a foreign country? US dollars will also be issued...... Then I won't go to university, and I'll be a soldier! ”

Zhao Zhiqiang looked at his younger brother, who was thinner than himself, and smiled, "Xiaogang, be a soldier?" Bhabhi support. However, you should eat more food now and grow stronger, my brother was retired because of physical reasons...... Let's go, Mom is still hungry, I'll go to the hospital with you today. ”

Actually, he lied, and he was shot himself in violation of the law to save his comrades. But he didn't die. When he came to his senses, he found that the copper shell that had been hanging on his chest was actually embedded in his heart! Now, that thing has become a "pacemaker."

Every time it works, it extracts a percent of the blood from the heart, absorbs a percent of the spirit, and then transforms it into "aura", this trace of aura travels around the body, and Zhao Zhiqiang can breathe, pulse, hear, touch and other sensations to be normal. And every time he tosses like this, he has to use all kinds of Chinese medicine and food to make up for it, otherwise he won't even have the strength to sit up.

In the past ten days since he came back, his strange illness has also cost thousands of dollars, even if his relatives don't come to ask for accounts, Zhao Zhiqiang is also anxious about making money! How much did he and his mom spend this week...... It's like my dad has been working for a month, and my brother is about to go to college, and the money hasn't been settled yet.

Zhao Zhigang was very sensible, looking at his brother in a daze, knowing that his brother was also worried about his mother. After thinking about it, my brother didn't see his mother for a few days, so he didn't stop him. He ran to the kitchen to get an old aluminum lunch box, took out the steamed hot cabbage-stuffed dumplings from the pot and put them on, carefully wrapped them in a cage cloth, and then wrapped them in a torn cotton coat to keep them warm.

Before coming just now, the two brothers wrapped twenty dumplings for the old lady, and today is the New Year, so I can't let my mother even eat dumplings.

Seventeen and a half years old, smelling the fragrant rice, quietly swallowed his saliva.

Zhao Zhiqiang snuggled by the door and saw all this in his eyes, but his heart hurt like a pinprick! In the past three years, the family can't even eat dumplings, my son, my brother's ......

Dedication to the country is unknown, filial piety to relatives and poor people, his younger brother who is four years younger than himself is in the second year of high school, he is the hope of the whole family! Now that I'm a little old, I can't even afford to eat dumplings!

No way!

As soon as he was excited, Zhao Zhiqiang's heart changed strangely!

The "air current" that came and went, tossing around his body for half a month, followed his attention to his eyes, and he felt a burst of illusion in front of him!

His gaze just stopped on his brother's body, but then he saw something extra.

Or rather, there is an extra message in the head:

With 50 gold. Today's financial luck, go out due west, come at noon, need to age sea willows.

Hey?

Zhao Zhiqiang was taken aback!

"What do I see, what is this?"

The younger brother didn't understand what happened to his brother, so he quickly shook his hand a few times in front of him, "Brother, you go and lie down, I'll just go and deliver food to my mother by myself." ”

was shaken by his younger brother, and the things that Zhao Zhiqiang "saw" were gone, he was stunned, and then said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me." By the way, how much money do you have right now? ”

Zhao Zhigang stretched out his hand and took out the fifty yuan in his pocket, "Brother, when my old aunt came just now, he secretly stuffed my pocket, saying that my aunt asked me to buy something to eat for my mother, and I forgot to tell you just now." As he spoke, he handed over the money, thinking that his brother might want to buy something.

"I don't want it." Zhao Zhiqiang's heart was shocked!

It's the eyes that can see how much money someone has in them -- that?

What does that mean......

"Brother, don't, don't get distracted, as soon as you get distracted, you'll faint." Zhao Zhigang was so anxious to hug his eldest brother, he had to get him on the kang, otherwise he would have to fall to the ground if he was not careful, he had fallen these days, he was cooking and fell into the pit, he went to the toilet and fell on the corner of the wall, but he could let his brother go to the hospital for examination, he refused to die, Zhao Zhiqiang hugged his brother's arm tightly with a worried face.

Maybe it's because he's been depressed for too long in the past three years, maybe it's because he saw his brother bowing to his relatives just now, but now he will fall at any time, he can't stop the sadness in his heart, and the tears are about to fall!

Looking at the mist in his brother's eyes, "Xiaogang, don't cry." My brother is back, you can study with peace of mind, there is a brother, and the sky is falling! ”
