Liuzhi Lane is not a dead alley, it leads to Changjie in the north and faces the Lingjiang River in the south, and the alley is one zhang wide and lined with willow trees.

Wu Zheng's home in Longtan County, there is a big willow tree in front of the door, at this time it is early winter, the willow leaves on the tree have long fallen, only bare willow swaying in the night wind.

In the alley, every household will habitually hang a dead wind lamp in front of the door, which illuminates the long alley, even if it is pedestrian, it is also convenient for the family, but Wu Zheng's family does not, because there is no money to buy candles, only a tattered small lantern is thrown around in the wind.

"What else are you looking at, are you reluctant to go in when you're at the door?" The aunt smiled happily and took Wu Zheng's hand and dragged it home.

It took three stone steps to push open the painted wooden door, and inside was a small courtyard.

The aunt led Wu Zheng into the door and went to Wu Zheng's horse again, and tied it to the silk cotton tree in the yard while shouting to the house: "Grandma, grandma, look who is coming." ”

"Miao'er, you are a woman in the middle of the night, and you are not afraid of neighborhood jokes if you are so ghostly?"

The dim light in the room imprinted the figure of an old man on the doors and windows, and after a while the door was pushed open and an old woman with gray hair came out.

The woman first glanced at her aunt who was tying up the horse, and at first she was still wondering why there was suddenly an extra horse in the house, but the next moment she saw Wu Zheng beside her aunt.

The old man was stunned for an instant, and Wu Zheng felt that his throat was a little blocked at this time, but after swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva, he still called out hesitantly: "Grandma......"

"Are you Zheng'er?"

The old man's rickety body straightened up a lot all of a sudden, and the crutches in his hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, but without crutches, she walked fast at this time, and walked through the small courtyard in three or two steps in front of Wu Zheng, stretched out a pair of withered palms and stroked Wu Zheng's face and said, "Are you really Zheng'er?" ”

Looking at the tears in the old man's eyes, Wu Zheng's original hesitation instantly flew away from the nine heavens, what does it matter if she is her grandson or not, since she has inherited the body and memory of his grandson, then what flows from the inside out of her body is the blood of her Wu family, and she is a member of the Wu family.

Although Wu Zheng had a wonderful life in his last life, he was lonely, once upon a time he woke up in a gentle dream, who can confide in the loneliness in his heart?

Family affection is gone, and if you want to have it, you can only wait for the next life, but fortunately, God is not thin on yourself, although there are no parents in this life, there is a grandmother and aunt who love yourself.

Just when Wu Zheng wanted to hold his grandmother's hands, two small heads were revealed in the half-hidden gate, blinking his eyes and looking at everything that happened in the yard with curiosity.

The aunt on the side said angrily to the two little heads: "Xiaoying, Xiaolan, what are you two ghost girls doing sneakily there, this is your eldest brother, don't you know?" ”

Grandma patted Wu Zheng's shoulder and said with tears in her eyes: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back......"

He wiped his tears from the two little girls behind him, turned back to the two little girls behind him and said, "Why don't you come over and see your eldest brother, what are you doing there like a stake?" ”

The two little girls combed their buns, one on one side looked naughty and cute, the taller one was called Xiaoying, and the shorter one was called Xiaolan.

The two girls ran to Wu Zheng and called out to the eldest brother, and then Xiaolan said suspiciously: "Didn't the eldest brother hear that you were not captured by the bandits?" How did you come back again? ”

Wu Zheng didn't answer yet, but Xiaolan was slapped on the back of the head by her grandmother: "Can the dead girl speak?" ”

Seeing Xiaolan crying with tears in her eyes, Wu Zheng hurriedly picked him up and said with a smile: "The eldest brother was snatched away by the bandits, but the eldest brother is very capable!" Saved a lot of them at once, so they put me back again. ”

Xiaoying on the ground said: "Big brother bragging, I don't know your ability yet, if you really have the ability, the master won't be caught by them because of one who ran to eat a banquet." ”

"You damn girl......"

The old grandmother wanted to slap the little girl again, but was stopped by Wu Zheng and said: "Grandma Xiaoying is a child who doesn't know anything, don't worry about her when you are old." ”

Then he touched Xiaoying's head and smiled: "Haven't you heard that there is a saying that Shibei should be impressed in three days?" I'll tell you how good I can do now! ”

It's too late for grandma to be happy to see Wu Zheng come back today, where can she really be angry with these little children, even if she just slapped Xiaolan, it was because she was happy in her heart.

The old grandmother smiled: "Zheng'er came back in the evening and didn't eat yet!" Miao'er go cook, don't starve Zheng'er. ”

The aunt happily agreed, and then picked up the frame of clothes to be washed and entered the west room.

In the past, the Wu family's source of livelihood relied on his aunt to wash people's clothes, and the stupid nerd in the past began to give up on himself after failing the test again the year before last, and spent all day drinking with some fox friends and dogs, and didn't look at what the situation was at home, and now he thinks about it and is really a bastard.

Poor aunt since marrying into our family has never enjoyed a day of happiness, the day after the wedding went out to wash people's clothes, the cold winter month of the third nine cold days, the cold river water is a knife, grinding her hands out of a bloody mouth, she has never rested and has never complained.

What she is most afraid of now is that she will get sick, because this disease will be over for the entire Wu family.

But the reality is such a coincidence, she fell ill the day after Wu Zheng came back.

Wu Zheng hadn't gotten up yet, he heard a commotion in the yard, and when he got up, he saw that his aunt was carried back, and he heard that the person who went to fetch water in the morning found that his aunt had fallen into the river, but fortunately, he had not been washed away by the river.

The grandmother in the house cried Xiaoying Xiaolan also cried, and this scene also made those people in the house who came over to see the excitement sigh for a while, the pillars of the old Wu family fell like this, how can this family live in the future!

Seeing the aunt lying there wet, the grandmother and the two little girls only knew how to cry there, and the people around them only knew how to watch the excitement, Wu Zheng couldn't help frowning, rushed into the crowd and carried the aunt into her room without saying a word, and his action immediately attracted the attention of the people in the house.

"That's right! That person just now was that stupid boy from the Wu family, and he came back? ”

"Wasn't he robbed up the mountain by a thief to be an aunt who pressed the village? How did you get back? ”

"I think I was kicked down because I was too stupid!"

"It's better to drive it down, it's better to drive it down than to be dropped by a bandit."

"What do you say, old grandson! Everyone is like this, and you still have fun to say cool things. ”

Wu Zheng ignored those gossips, and called his grandmother to come over to help change his aunt's clothes, and after the clothes were changed, Wu Zheng brought a large brazier into his aunt's house, and the whole house was instantly warm.

Looking at the aunt sleeping on the bed, Wu Zheng walked over and touched her forehead and found that it was very hot, remembering the red face of the aunt last night, he thought that the aunt was excited to see him, and now he thinks that the aunt is afraid that she will be sick a long time ago, but she just endured it and did not fall down.

Think about who can stand it before dawn to wash clothes in the river, today finally fell, since it fell, then have a good rest, in the future, the Wu family will have me in everything, and I will never let you suffer any more grievances, auntie.

"Auntie is sick, I have to go to Langzhong." Wu Zheng said: "Grandma, please take care of your aunt here." ”

"But Zheng'er, where is our family rich......

Looking at his grandmother's sad eyes, Wu Zheng patted the grandmother's hand and smiled slightly: "Grandma, don't worry, your grandson is no longer the idle grandson she used to be, and there is still money to ask for a man." ”

After speaking, he said to Xiaoying Xiaolan next to the bed: "You two little girls go to fetch a basin of water and put a towel on your aunt's forehead." Wait for me to come back at home. ”
