Chapter 17: The Conversation
"Hui Niang, don't you know about our children, and the children are all older, and they now have their own ideas."
"It's time to let it go!"
Zhuang Yi comforted his daughter-in-law and held her in his arms with both hands.
"But, but Zihao is only six years old, how can I let go. He's still so young, so he runs to the back mountain, how can you let me, a mother, rest assured. Woo woo woo~"
"Hui Niang, it's all my fault, it's my incompetence, I can't let the children live a good life, so I let the children worry about the family at a young age. It's all my fault, Hui Niang! ”
Zhuang Yi hugged his daughter-in-law and said with self-blame, tears of self-blame flowed in his eyes.
"Ah Yi, it's not your fault, we can't help it, this will all pass."
"Well, it will pass."
"Alas, I just don't know how they are now, I chose this path at the beginning, and I never regret it, but I just tired you and lived this hard life with me."
"Ah Yi, don't say that, this is also my choice, I love you, I don't want to live without you, I'm really happy and happy to be with you."
"Hui Niang ......"
In the room, the couple hugged each other, and a strong love spread in the room.
……
"Second brother, I'm the one who has troubled you. Let you stand here with me. ”
The two brothers faced the wall, thinking.
"There was no involvement. You also want to make the family live better, but the second brother is not good, he was away before, and he didn't take into account the situation at home, so you have to share it for the family at such a young age. ”
"I heard from my father and mother, you have been working in the field for the past few days. It's better than those of us who are brothers. ”
Zhuang Zijie looked at his younger brother with relief and patted his younger brother's shoulder with his hand.
"When we're your age, the most we've done is mow pigweed for the family, or go up the hill to pick up dead wood that has fallen on the ground."
"Then you and your friends in the village go up the mountain to hunt birds, dig birds' eggs, and go down to the river to bathe and fish, you are much more sensible than us!"
Zhuang Zijie recalls playing with his eldest brother and his friends in the village when he was a child.
But when I think about it, after just a few years of hard work, some of the partners who used to play together have married and had children, some have to leave the village to find work in the town and county, and the eldest brother even went to the dangerous border to fight.
Zhuang Zijie thought of this, and his mood became low.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zhuang Zijie looked at the second brother with a low face as he spoke, and a sad emotion spread from the second brother.
"It's okay, I just miss my big brother. I don't know what happened to my eldest brother. ”
"Second brother, what does the eldest brother look like, I haven't seen it. Second brother, tell my brother about it."
"Otherwise, when I see my eldest brother, I will know him. Hey! ”
Zhuang Zijie looked at his younger brother who was looking up at him, with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, looking at him with curiosity.
Those eyes that hook people's souls make it impossible to say no to it.
I really don't know how many beautiful little girls will be hooked by these eyes in the future. This younger brother was born so well at a young age, he is really envious.
(I said the second brother of the banker, what do you have to envy, you don't look bad, look at your white clothes and black hair, long hair scattered like ink on the white clothes, fair skin, high nose bridge, knife eyebrows, thin but tight lips, a simple white robe, but more slender.) The handsome face with a smile can fascinate countless girls. )
"Big brother, is the tallest and strongest of our parents, if he didn't look like his father, we would all think that he was born in our family."
Zhuang Zijie imagined the figure of the eldest brother's strong man. With thick eyebrows and big eyes, wheat skin, a high nose bridge, and enviable eight-pack abs, he looks like a strong and mighty man.
Thinking about the little girls who always came from other villages to see their eldest brother before, and the matchmakers who came to the door to say goodbye. The picture was so beautiful that I couldn't imagine it.
Zhuang Zijie thought of the matchmakers who came to the house to say goodbye, all of them were dressed in red and willow green, and their faces were smeared with thick fat powder, and they fell down as soon as they spoke, and they had nightmares when they thought about it. I don't know how their men can stand it, they really admire and admire!
"In the future, if you see someone who looks like my father, and has a strong look, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and wheat-colored skin, it will be our big brother. Our eldest brother is really easy to recognize. ”
"But, fourth brother, don't look at him like that and ignore the eldest brother's brain, the eldest brother's brain is good, I want your second brother and I to let your eldest brother flicker."
"In this way, the eldest brother is a very smart person."
"Hey, second brother, how did you get fooled by your eldest brother in the first place?"
Zhuang Zihao looked at the suddenly serious second brother with a curious face.
"Yes, I said, what a fool! Fourth brother, you must have heard it wrong?! ”
"Second brother, you are cheating, you just said it clearly, you were fooled by the second brother."
"Your second brother, I don't want to lose face! You don't hear it, well, you don't hear anything, I don't say anything, mmmm! ”
Zhuang Zijie hypnotized himself.
"Second brother, just talk about it......"
"What do you say, let me go to dinner......"
"Second brother~"
"Pig's trotter ......"
"Fourth brother, what are you talking about? ……”
"I didn't say anything......"
"Oh, I didn't say anything, I was hallucinating just now, listen to what you say to eat, what about pig's trotters......"
Zhuang Zihao looked helplessly at the second brother who pretended to be crazy and stupid. Knowing that the second brother didn't want to tell himself, he didn't force it, so he let the second brother go this time.
"Second brother, you're really enough!"
"Well, where did we just go?"
Zhuang Zijie was not pretending to be crazy and stupid, and looked at the fourth brother who had given up asking him this question.
"As I just said, the eldest brother is very smart."
"Mm-hmm, that's right, our eldest brother is a bold and careful person."
"Hmm!"
"Although the eldest brother is not as strong as the younger brother, he also went up to the mountains to hunt with the village hunters at the age of twelve. After a month of study, I began to go up the mountain alone, and at first I just hunted some pheasants and hares, but after a year, I was able to hunt wild boars. ”
"But ah, when the wild boar was brought back, it scared my mother, and I cleaned up the eldest brother, and my mother knew that the eldest brother went hunting in the mountains, so she was very opposed, but the conditions at home at that time were really not very good, although they would not be starved to death, but they were not too full, and the mother saw that the eldest brother made some small animals, so she turned a blind eye."
However, that day, the eldest brother came back from hunting a big wild boar, and the mother said that she would not let the eldest brother go up the mountain. Later, the eldest brother carried his mother to the mountains to hunt. ”
"Mother is afraid that there will be danger when we go to the mountain, but the mountain behind us is indeed too dangerous, that is a mountain range, and there are all kinds of animals on the mountain."
"Fourth brother, the second brother won't stop you from going up the mountain, the second brother knows that you have this ability, but you are still young now, so it's better not to go too deep, and those large creatures are also waiting for you to touch them when you are older. Don't let your mother worry about you. ”
Zhuang Zijie looked at his younger brother seriously.
"It's really not easy for my mother, my eldest brother is far away at the border, my life and death are unknown, and there are a bunch of children at home to worry about, my mother really sees us as very important, no matter who of us is hurt, my mother will be heartbroken. My mother has no other relatives besides us, and we are her most important people. ”
"Whatever the second brother wants you to do, you have to think about it for your mother."
"Well, I see, second brother."
"Second brother, let's cheer together, I really want to see the eldest brother, I've only heard about it since I was a child, I don't know if the eldest brother will like me. If the eldest brother doesn't come back in a few years, let's go find him. ”
Zhuang Zijie touched his younger brother's head.
"Okay, if the eldest brother doesn't come back in a few years, we'll go find him. Big brother will like you, he also watched you be born at the beginning, and in order for you to eat better, he always went to the mountains to find wild eggs for you, which is the most supportive. Big brother loves you very much! Love us too, love this home! ”
Zhuang Zijie said firmly in the direction of his eldest brother's departure.
