Dahu's body is getting worse, he can't get off the kang for two months, he has asked a doctor, and he has eaten a lot of home remedies, but it has not improved, for this reason, Lan Zhen is in a hurry, what she can do is to make him something delicious in different ways, but he can't eat a bite, looking at his father who is lying on the kang and stunned on the roof all day, Zhenhua is very sad.

On that day, when school was over, she came home from school and said to her father:

"Dad, I have time these days, just tell my daughter what you want to do."

"Dad has a wish, but he is worried that he will miss your studies." Big Tiger said.

"It's okay, in another year, I will graduate, I have decided to return to my alma mater to teach, when the time comes, I will accompany you every day, you say, what do you want to achieve?" Zhenhua said.

"Dad only studied in the private school in the village, and has not been to a university institution, back then, when I worked for a rich family, I heard people say that the university is magnificent, there is a big room of books, and high-rise buildings, at that time I thought, if in this life, I can have the opportunity to go to the university and experience it for myself, this life has not been in vain, I want to say that the wish is to let you take me to your school to see, let me also experience the feeling of being a college student." Big Tiger said.

"Dad, I promise you, I will arrange these two days, but, listen to my mother, these days, you always can't eat, if you promise me, every day to eat strongly, I will take you there, don't you want to see, a big house of books, what is it? Then you'll have to take care of your body. Zhenhua said.

"Daddy listens to you." The big tiger agreed.

If you want to do one thing, Dahu is persevering and persevering, since beating his daughter Zhenhua told him that as long as he has a good spirit, he will help him realize his wishes, and take him to the university to experience life, Dahu will support himself and stand up, at first, with the power of crutches, he can walk a few steps in the house, Lan Zhen saw that he was struggling to walk, so he stepped forward to help, he told Lan Zhen that he wanted to rely on his own strength, walk all over Zhenhua's school, and experience the taste of higher education.

For the stubbornness of the big tiger, Lan Zhen can't do anything, she has to protect by the side, one day, the big tiger practiced walking in the house, she went to the neighbor's aunt's house to visit the door, just a while, the big tiger walked out of the yard with a cane, he was going to exercise in the nearby mountains, when he passed by Kim Changshuo's house, he happened to meet Jin Changshuo coming out of his yard, he asked the big tiger, where to go, the big tiger said, he was going to go to the nearby mountain for a walk, Kim Changshuo took his hand and said, that's not good, in case of falling, it's terrible, But Dahu's temper is like this, once he determines something, he will definitely stick to it.

Seeing that he couldn't stop the big tiger, Jin Changshuo went to the big tiger's house to ventilate the news, who knows, when he arrived at the big tiger's house, he didn't see Lan Zhen, you think, Jin Changshuo is also an old man, and his legs and feet are not effective, he had to go home, Lan Zhen chatted with his aunt for a while, returned home, but found that the big tiger was gone, she was anxious to look around, and she didn't find it, she thought to herself, this is broken, if the big tiger can't be found, she can't explain to her children, especially Zhenhua, who is going to school for the big tiger, All kinds of preparations are being made.

After the neighbor's aunt knew the news that the big tiger was gone, he mobilized his son and daughter-in-law to follow Lan Zhen to look for it, and soon, Jin Changshuo told Lan Zhen that he saw the big tiger and went to the mountain, Lan Zhen complained about Jin Changshuo, he should stop him, Jin Changshuo said, just his temper, who can stop him, following the direction pointed by Jin Changshuo, Lan Zhen They walked for a long time before they found the big tiger, at this time, the big tiger was lying on the mountain full of sunshine, closed his eyes to enjoy it, saw the big tiger like a child, Lan Zhen was angry, stepped forward and gently shone his body, slapped it, The mouth complained:

"You dead old man, why didn't you say a word, and came here, you say, if you have a good one, can you still go to college?"

"I did this just to go to college, I heard my daughter say that the university campus is bigger, bigger than our Shayu Village, if I don't exercise, when I get to the university, how can I go, I can't let my daughter carry it." Big Tiger said.

"You always say, this time, we have to say okay, exercise is not objectionable, but it can only be in the courtyard, if today's incident happens again, I will tell Zhenhua, we will not go to the university." Lan Zhen said.

"That's not going to work, I'll do as you say, okay?" Big Tiger said.

Just when Dahu was exercising at home, Shanzi came panting, he told Dahu that his father Jin Changyuan was back, Dahu didn't believe his ears, Shanzi said it again, and then, beckoned Lan Zhen to follow him to Shanzi's house, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Jin Changyuan, who was full of white hair and hunchbacked, sitting on a stool, and saw Dahu and Lan Zhen, Jin Changyuan got up and walked to Dahu, he pointed to Dahu and said:

"You're only a year older than me, how did you get old like this?"

"You're a year younger than me, and you've become a hunched white-bearded old man?" Big Tiger said.

The two of them spoke easily, but they were all in tears, the big tiger asked Shanzi to find Jin Changshuo, he said, the third brother of the year, finally reunited after more than ten years, Jin Changshuo couldn't suppress his excitement at the moment he saw Jin Changyuan, and he choked up several times, the three guys of the year, and now the old man, hugged each other tightly, Lan Zhen and Yu'er were also crying next to them.

Jin Changyuan told Dahu and Changshuo that during his ten years of labor reform, he exercised his body and washed his mind, don't look at his age, but his body is very tough, he is most concerned about the child during the transformation, he knows how difficult life is for a child who has lost his father's love, when he learned that Meizi entrusted Shanzi to Dahu when he was dying, and let Dahu teach his craft to Shanzi, he cried, he wanted to thank Meizi, thank Dahu, thank all the people who helped him, he agreed with Dahu and Changshuo, they are three brothers, We have to meet every day, and no one should leave without saying hello.

Maybe because of his age, memories have become a common thing for the three elder brothers, but no matter how he recalls, Jin Changyuan doesn't mention the name Han San, Dahu knows that Jin Changyuan can't forget Han San's harm to him, he doesn't want Jin Changyuan to live the rest of his life with hatred, he wanted to tell him about Han San's confession and get his understanding, but when he told Yu'er his thoughts, Yu'er told Dahu that the whole family was hiding from him about this matter, worried that he knew that Han San would settle down in the village, and he would settle accounts with him, this matter, The big tiger was put down for the time being.

One day, Dahu, Jin Changyuan, and Jin Changshuo were chatting in the courtyard of Dahu's house, Han San's son Han Youcai, ran into the yard in a panic, Jin Changyuan didn't know Han Youcai, he asked Dahu, whose family is this offspring, Dahu said, it is Han San's son, Jin Changyuan listened, his face immediately drooped, he asked Dahu, Han San's son, how could he appear in Shayu Village, Dahu told Jin Changyuan, Han San's family, has moved back to Shayu Village, at this time, I saw Han Youcai kneeling in front of Jin Changyuan and said:

"My father heard that Uncle Changyuan was back, and insisted on seeing Uncle Changyuan, and he wanted to apologize to Uncle Changyuan in person, can you give my father a chance?"

"What do you say? If you want me to give him a chance, no way, even if I agree, my deceased father will not agree. Kim Chang-won said.

"Uncle Changyuan, I know, my father did something sorry for you, but he knows that he was wrong, he wants to repent of his actions, you just give him this opportunity, let me tell you the truth, he has been in the past two days, are you willing to see him die with regrets? If he wants to go cleanly, you can fulfill him. Han Youcai said.

"Changyuan, if you want to talk about holding grudges, our three brothers are all victims, but we have all reached this age, we should see everything clearly, let's give him a chance, but also give ourselves a chance, don't live with pain, don't leave with pain, listen to me, let's go see Han San and listen to what he has to say to you."

Under the persuasion of the big tiger and Han Youcai's begging, Jin Changyuan reluctantly came to Han San's bedside, and saw that the young man who was hurt by him back then became a gray-haired old man, Han San was full of emotion, he hated himself for not being ashamed earlier, reflecting early, then he would leave himself some time, and then re-acquaint himself with the three brothers, he looked at Jin Changyuan with begging eyes, he asked his son to help himself up, he wanted to apologize solemnly to Jin Changyuan, due to the extreme weakness of his body, when his son helped him up, His face turned white, he couldn't keep up with his breathing, and his son tried to persuade him to lie down and apologize, but he refused.

He told his son in a weak voice that it was already his greatest satisfaction to be able to see Kim Chang-won when he was dying, and to be able to apologize to him in this way, and he said to Kim Chang-won that because of his greed and selfishness, he had harmed him all his life, and he wanted to say it. I'm sorry', he said, in his life, he has done too many bad things, the villagers of Shayu Village, did not give up on him, with a kind mind, accepted him and his family, such a true feeling, he is not able to pay off in this life, he remembers, in the days without repentance, he often has nightmares, the day of returning to Shayu Village, is the most solid day of his life.

He sincerely hopes that Jin Changyuan can accept his apology, looking at Han San, who has not lived much, Jin Changyuan's mood is complicated, he is different from Dahu and Jin Changsuk, in the past ten years, he has not been in contact with the outside world, for people, changes with the times, he does not feel deeply, his memory is still stuck in his past, you let him change his thinking mode in a very short period of time, and treat the person who hurts him as a friend, it is indeed difficult for a strong man, but he can sit next to Han San, Listening to his apology has taken a big step.

After Han San finished saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief after he had been brewing for a long time, it could be seen that he had unloaded the burden and was relieved, his hands were spread out, lying on the bed calmly, breathing evenly, and his body became soft, his son Han Youcai called him a few times, but he didn't get a response, Dahu approached Han San, looked at it, and he told Han Youcai to prepare for the future.

Han San left, not leaving with regrets, Dahu asked Shanzi to give Han San a coffin with his own hands.

Sending Han San away, Dahu told Zhenhua that his current body is doing well, walking on crutches for two hours, it is not a problem, he wants to realize his dream of going to school, Zhenhua decided to help his father realize his wish after assessing his father's body.

Although Zhenhua let his father exercise, however, she didn't mean that she really let her father walk, for her father's wishes, she did enough homework behind her back, during her father's exercise, she found her good friend, who is also a college classmate Li Xiang, Li Xiang's father, is the director of the machinery factory, there is a jeep in the factory, in order to be able to borrow this car, Zhenhua deliberately followed Li Xiang, came to the machinery factory, she told her father's wishes, Li Xiang's father, Li Xiang's father, moved by Zhenhua's filial piety, he told Zhenhua, Sunday, You can lend her the car.

Zhenhua understands his father's personality, once he enters the school, he will definitely forget about fatigue, he will not be willing not to see all over the school, but in this way, the body will not be able to bear it, in order to prevent accidents, Zhenhua deliberately went to the hospital and rented a wheelchair.

Zhenhua's classmates, after learning that her father was coming to school, spontaneously set up a temporary reception group, which made Zhenhua very moved, in order to fulfill his father's wishes, each classmate did a lot, everything was ready to stop a weekend later, Li Xiang's father, sent a jeep, picked up Dahu to school, looked forward to this day for a long time, finally came, Dahu excitedly asked Lanzhen:

"Am I wearing this dress mentally? Is my face bad? ”

"How many times have you asked, the spirit is not bad, but when you get to school, you have to listen to Zhenhua, and you can't play tricks." Lan Zhen said.

"Needless to say."

With the support of his classmates, Dahu sat in the jeep, and when the car was about to start, a lot of villagers came, and they heard about the fact that Dahu went to visit the university, and came to see off Dahu, among them, Jin Changyuan said to Dahu:

"You don't go alone, you represent the villagers of Shayu Village, you not only visit, but also have a task, when you come back, you have to describe to us what we have seen and heard about the university, so that we can also understand what a higher institution of learning is like, but there is one, old arms and legs, but don't be tired, we are all waiting for you to come back."

Seeing the expected eyes of the villagers, Dahu suddenly felt a sense of responsibility, he said goodbye to the villagers, sat in a jeep, left the mountain, left Shayu Village, left the familiar villagers, after the jeep got off the mountain road, galloped away, not to mention what you will see when you get to the school, just say this jeep, Dahu is the first time to sit, before, he has sat in the car, in addition to the donkey cart, is the carriage, the fastest of which is the carriage, the handlebar whip, the horse gallops and runs, but no matter how fast the carriage is, it can't compare to the jeep, he joked with his daughter, it seems that no matter how good the grass eater, he can't outrun the oil drinker.

After a few hours of driving, he finally arrived at the university campus, Zhenhua's classmates had been waiting at the door, Dahu got off the bus at the same time, the classmates pushed the wheelchair to the front of the big tiger, he asked the classmates, what is this for, Zhenhua said, is to walk instead of his legs, the big tiger said that he didn't sit on anything, he said, sit on it and push people, strange and embarrassed, the boy who pushed the wheelchair told the big tiger that he was very willing to serve, seeing that it was time for lunch, under the guidance of the classmates, they came to the school cafeteria.

As soon as he entered the cafeteria, the scene in front of him stunned the big tiger, a banner hung on the wall, which read: 'Dear father, your wish, we will help you realize it', when he saw this pair of words, the big tiger's eyes were red, he didn't know what to say, to express his gratitude to these children, the master of the canteen, put the prepared hot dishes and hot rice on the table, and specially brought a bottle of wine.

With the support of his classmates, he sat down at the dining table, he could no longer control his emotions, he was in tears, he was thinking, he was a carpenter in the mountains, a mediocre person who could not be mediocre, he was so courteous to college students, or the new society, in the old society, such a thing, only in a dream, can be seen, but after all, it is a dream, at that time, there were also institutions of higher learning, but that door was not opened to our poor, and now his daughter, not only went to college, but also helped himself realize his dream, he believed, in this life, It's worth it.

After lunch, Zhenhua took his father to the library of his dreams, before coming, her father had repeatedly asked her to describe, how big the library is, how many books can be put down, she can only tell her father, big, can hold a lot of books, but in the mind of the big tiger, can not imagine the scale of the library, Zhenhua took her father, into a three-story library, she pointed to the three-story building and said, this is full of books, and this is only one of the school libraries, Zhenhua's words, shocked the father, although before comingHe made a lot of assumptions, but the real library still greatly exceeded his imagination.

After entering the library, the librarian put a comfortable chair in front of Dahu, the administrator told Dahu what kind of books he needed to see, he could tell her that she was willing to serve, Dahu took a copy from the bookshelf next to him, he looked at it for a long time, but he refused to read it, the administrator told him that the books here are free to read, Dahu whispered to Zhenhua that his hands were calloused, and he was afraid that the book would be scratched, Zhenhua listened to it and felt uncomfortable.

After visiting the library, Zhenhua took his father to visit the auditorium, teaching building, dormitory, everywhere he went, the students were prepared for surprises, the day's trip was coming to an end, Dahu was still a little lingering, Zhenhua told him that as long as his body allowed, she would take him to more places, when he was about to go home, Dahu held the hand of every student who took care of him, and expressed his gratitude, the scene was really like saying goodbye to his comrades, it was difficult to give up, although there was only a short day of contact, but the feelings were deep, The classmates have great respect and admiration for this father who is from the mountains and is eager to learn.

The jeep sent the big tiger home, the surprise was still waiting for the big tiger, the villagers gathered in the courtyard of the big tiger's house, waiting for the big tiger's return, the house couldn't sit down, everyone moved a bench, sat in the yard, the body was a little tired big tiger, looking at these folks who were eager to know about the university, he forgot to rest, he asked Lan Zhen to move a stool, sat in the middle of everyone, his ass just sat firmly, Jin Changyuan asked curiously:

"Big Tiger, is the university big?"

"Big, it's just too big, let's describe it to you, not counting the mountains of our Shayu Village, it has to be as big as several of our Shayu Villages, we are all small bungalows here, and in the universities, they are all high-rise buildings, one next to the other, and even the dormitory where Zhenhua lives is a building several stories high." Big Tiger said.

"Mom, if I go and see so many tall buildings, I won't be dizzy?" The neighbor's aunt said.

"Don't you want to see how big the library is? See? Is it the same as you think? Kim Chang Suk asked.

"I was about to tell you that the library of Zhenhua School is much bigger than I imagined, a multi-storey building, full of books, Zhenhua told me, what I saw was only one of them, and the books there could be read without spending money, I sat there and thought, why didn't we catch up with the good times, if we go back a few decades, we all have the opportunity to go there to read and study, but our daughter helped us realize this dream and be content."

"Big Tiger, you can be content, at least you can go to the institution of higher learning to experience it in person, of course, we can sit at home and listen to you tell about the situation of the institution of higher learning, we should also be content, we look forward to our children and grandchildren, in the future, we will have the opportunity to enter the institution of higher learning, and we will have more college students in Shayu Village." Kim Chang-won said.

The night is already very deep, seeing that people are still interested, Lan Zhen did not interrupt the villagers' questioning, she knows the big tiger too well, answering questions to the villagers, is his happiest moment, just like back then, he ran a literacy class for free, tirelessly lectured to the villagers, and prepared for classes late at night, if at this time, stopping him, it was undoubtedly the biggest blow to him, Lan Zhen went back to the house, took the jacket, and draped it on him.

Waking up early the next morning, Dahu told Lan Zhen that his joints didn't seem to hurt as much as they used to be, and he could walk without crutches, Lan Zhen told him, don't be too careless, after all, the age is there, he told Lan Zhen that he was going out for a walk alone, with the last time he went to the mountain alone, in order to find him, Lan Zhen mobilized the villagers to teach him a lesson, Lan Zhen didn't let him go, he told Lan Zhen that this time he was going to the ancestral grave, to tell the ancestors what he saw yesterday, he also said that he had accumulated a lot of heartfelt words, To tell them that after learning the purpose of the big tiger, Lan Zhen agreed.

When he was leaving, he brought a bottle of wine, took a bag of peanuts, and went to the ancestral tomb with a cane. Dahu told him that he wanted to go to the ancestral tomb to see, but Captain Datian said, how can you think of going to the ancestral tomb if you don't have a festival? Dahu said that he just missed them.

Seeing that a lot of weeds grew on the ancestral grave, the big tiger put the wine and peanuts on the ground, he pulled out the grass on the grave of each elder, and saw the new soil exposed on the grave, he chose to sit down in front of the grave of his grandfather, who had the deepest feelings for him, he put the wine and peanuts in front of the grave, poured a sip of wine on the grave of his grandfather, put a grain of peanuts, and then, he drank a sip, also ate a grain, a sip of wine, he thought that he had found resonance with his grandfather, he opened the chatterbox, what he was going to say to his grandfather next, It's what he's accumulated over decades, and if someone else is present, I'm afraid he won't be able to speak.

"Grandpa, let me tell you a good news first, I went to your great-granddaughter's university yesterday, I don't know how to describe it to you, let's put it this way, it is the paradise you imagine, I told everything I saw to the folks in Shayu Village, I know that your greatest wish before your death is to ask your children and grandchildren to study hard and be a productive person, I can proudly tell you today, your children and grandchildren have done it, in decades of life, I have not lived up to your expectations, in the most difficult moment of life, I did not give up my efforts, everything I did, I think it was worth it, I didn't disgrace your old man. ”

He went to his father's grave and sat down, and drank a glass of wine with his father, and said to him:

"Dad, they all say that father's love is like a mountain, back then, you made the decision to let me learn art, I decided that you love me, and also let me understand that the love between father and son does not stay in language, but to dare to let go, let me experience the ups and downs of society, the experience of life, even if I touch all over the body, but let me become a real man, although your words are not much, but the impact on my life is not small, I am proud to have a father like you, proud."

He took up the third glass of wine and shouted:

"Grandpa, Dad, let's dry this glass of wine together!"

After speaking, the big tiger tilted his neck and dried, this sip of wine was a little big, his tears were choked out, I don't know if it was because of the wine, or he thought about it, at the moment when his tears were choked, the tide of his emotions, like opening the floodgates, was out of control, he began to cry without scruples, snot flowed out, he didn't care, maybe only he himself knew, what his tears flowed for, men are like this, because of the word responsibility, he has played a strong role all his life, put aside responsibility, Men have no tender side, but what they think is suppressed, hidden in their hearts, and difficult to catch.

Like many men, his life has experienced wind and rain, rainbows, darkness, and light, the world is hot and cold, and life is full of states, for him, it is just an episode in life, when you have the time and courage to face it, you will find that what is left in the end is more worth remembering.

He was tired of crying, but he felt more relaxed than he had ever been, he turned his face and saw the col next to the cemetery, which was warmed by the sun, and instinctively prompted him to walk towards the col full of sunshine, he lay there, he had lived in the mountain all his life, this close contact with the mountain, it felt very different, he used to be tired of being at home, he was like a hurried passerby, and he didn't even have idle, carefully observed the appearance of the mountain, and now, he finally has time, get close to the mountain, Lie in its warm embrace and enjoy it to the fullest.

Because he enjoyed it too much, he was too down-to-earth, he fell asleep, in his sleep, he saw his grandfather, came to his side, and his grandfather still asked him so kindly, how is the calligraphy practice? Have you been insisting on sending couplets to your fellow villagers? He replied to his grandfather with a smile, there was progress in calligraphy, and he had been insisting on sending couplets, and his grandfather listened to his answer and gave him a thumbs up, and he asked his grandfather, where have you been all these years? made him want to die, there were a few dreams in his dreams, he hugged his grandfather and cried, but when he woke up, he knew that it was a dream, and today he can finally see a real person, and he will not let go of his grandfather easily.

He wants to tell his grandfather all the experiences of the past few decades, grandpa sits beside him, listens quietly, and when he talks about happy places, he will dance with his hands, maybe he is too happy, when he dances with his hands, he wakes up, he touches his side, it is empty, he can't help but complain to himself, why can't he restrain himself, if he doesn't wake up, grandpa will have more time, stay by his side, he still has a lot of words, he didn't tell grandpa, he was a little disappointed.

He knows in his heart that dreams always have to wake up, no matter how good the dream is, he still has to return to reality, he is seventy-three years old, he often listens to the older generation of people say, seventy-three, eighty-four, it seems to be a hurdle in life, he knows that with his physical condition, he can live to seventy-three years old, it is already the favor of God, he has no regrets, even if he can't step this hurdle, he will face it calmly, life and death, wealth in the sky, he has not done big things in his life, but he has done a lot of small things, if summed up in four words, That is to be worthy of the heart.

People sometimes, will deliberately pursue the glory of life, the pursuit of the ultimate of life, as everyone knows, after the glory and the extreme, will return to the ordinary, some people understand the ordinary, is idle, or to be a monk for a day to hit the clock, in fact, that is not ordinary, but just alive, with love in the heart, can live a wonderful life in the ordinary life, there is no love in the heart, even if the waist is entangled, calling the wind and rain, can only live in the present, and in the end, what is left is just a skin.

Just like the big tiger, initially adhering to the grandfather's last wish, to send couplets to the villagers, this is just an ordinary thing, but he insisted, and also carried forward, free literacy classes, his actions, in his opinion, insignificant, but the villagers have benefited a lot, literacy, can read books and newspapers, can understand the world beyond the mountains, can correct their words and deeds, can keep up with the pace of the times, this is a virtuous circle of process.

With the dedication of love, he not only made the villagers gain, but also made Han San, who had always refused to face himself, and even wanted to pass on the seeds of hatred through his son, and finally expressed his repentance, love is like a seed, the more you plant, the more you will return, it is it that unites the villagers of Shayu Village to spend the happiness and tribulations in life together, today, this goal has been achieved, he saw the hope of Shayu Village, he told himself that he is just a drop in the ocean, the descendants of Shayu Village, will definitely put the seeds of love, Keep sowing.

Just like his daughter, who has taken root in the mountains, for the education of the mountains, to contribute his own strength, he has no regrets, he is proud, thinking of this, he stood up with a cane, ready to go home, just when he was about to move, there was a hot current in his throat, about to gush out, he subconsciously lowered his head, a mouthful of blood, came out of his mouth, a brief darkness appeared in front of his eyes, and then, coughing constantly, at this time, his brain was very clear, he had to take advantage of the body to withstand it, hurry home.

He was on crutches, struggling to go home, when he was about to get home, he met Lan Zhen came out to greet him, saw Lan Zhen, he deliberately beat his spirit, try to straighten his waist, Lan Zhen blamed him, he shouldn't have gone for such a long time, let her worry, he forced a smile and said, are old husbands and wives, and have learned the young man's set, can't do without, he is not afraid of other people's jokes, the two of them supported him, returned home, he told Lan Zhen that he wanted to find Shanzi to say something, Lan Zhen knew that as long as he opened his mouth, he must have something important to say, Lan Zhen didn't dare to delay, and came to Shanzi's house, Shanzi just came back, and heard that the uncle had something to do with him, so he didn't say a word and came to the uncle's house.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw the uncle lying on the kang, and Lan Zhen said to the big tiger:

"I've brought Shanzi here, just tell him if you have anything to say."

Lan Zhen sat down next to the big tiger as he spoke, he glanced at Lan Zhen and said:

"Lan Zhen, you go out first, I have something I want to say to Shanzi alone."

"You're really making a mistake, you have to talk to Shanzi, and you have to carry me behind your back, I really don't know what you, a dead old man, are thinking?"

Lan Zhen said and walked out of the house, after Lan Zhen went out, she didn't go far, but sat under the window, and she didn't know the big tiger

Where did the sixth perception come from, he expected that Lan Zhen did not go far, he asked Shanzi to walk to the yard, Lan Zhen knew that this was the meaning of the big tiger, so he went to the kitchen to work, Shanzi knew the relationship between the uncle and the aunt best, and the two of them kept saying that they did not betray people, but today, the uncle's behavior was very abnormal, and he was unwilling to say it in front of the aunt, so he told the uncle about his doubts, and the big tiger pulled Shanzi to him and told him:

"Shanzi, the reason why I don't want your aunt to hear our conversation is because I don't want her to worry about me too early, you are my nephew and my apprentice, there are some things that I can only say to you alone, do you understand?"

"Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it." Shanzi said.

"Some time ago, in order to be able to fulfill my dream of going to college, I have not given up exercising, but, my own body, I know best, there are no days to live, today I went to the ancestral grave of the old Jin family, looked at my grandfather and father, and also said a lot to them, I should have nothing to worry about, just now when I came back, I had a mouthful of blood, almost not relieved, in order not to let your aunt see, when I saw her again, I deliberately beat the spirit, not bad, fooled your aunt, I know, I can't last a few days like this, and before I leave, I want to ask you two things. Dahu said.

"Uncle, don't scare me, I'll go to the doctor, and when you see the doctor, I'll tell me about it."

After Shanzi finished speaking, he was about to get up, and was dragged by the big tiger, just like this, almost using 100% of his strength, Shanzi looked back at the uncle, and found that the uncle's face immediately turned white, and his breathing became short, it seems that the uncle's body really can't withstand a little injury, Shanzi shed tears, sat down in front of the uncle again, he took the uncle's hand and said:

"Uncle, I'll listen, you can speak slowly." Shanzi said.

"Do you remember the coffin you made with me that year?" Big Tiger said.

"Yes." Shanzi said.

"If you are not busy in the factory these days, you take a few days off from the factory, give me oil again for the coffin, I have been a carpenter all my life, and I have made a lot of coffins for others, in the end, I can't lie in the dilapidated coffin and walk, this is the first thing you want to do, the second thing I want you to do, the second thing I ask you to do, is your aunt, I have been married to her for decades, since she married me, it can be said that I have not enjoyed any blessings, the two sons of my family, you know, can not let me rest assured, after I left, You have to come to the house often to see, the two sons are filial, needless to say, if the two sons are not filial, you should be more responsible, Shanzi, you say, I ask you like this, is it too selfish? Dahu asked.

"Uncle, it is my duty to honor you and my aunt, when will my Shanzi pat my chest and say, if I eat, you and my aunt, should you say kind words to me."

After Shanzi finished speaking, he cried bitterly, Dahu gently patted Shanzi with his hand, meaning, don't be discovered by Aunt Lanzhen, Shanzi reminded Uncle that the old couple has been in love with each other for a lifetime, and they are coming, hiding from Auntie, is it a harm to Auntie, Dahu told Shanzi, you are still young, you can't understand it, you have been together for a lifetime, one of them has to go first, how big the blow should be to the other party, but Shanzi said, if the uncle leaves like this, the blow to the aunt is not greater, but the big tiger said, although sooner or later it is a hurt, it is a blow, What he can do now is to minimize this damage, for example, if she knows it one minute later, she will be sad one minute later.

Although Shanzi does not agree with the uncle's words, he is the most trusted person of the uncle, and he is willing to follow the uncle's opinion and do his best to let the uncle go without regrets.

After receiving Shanzi's affirmative answer, Dahu breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Shanzi:

"Now I can call your aunt in."

After Lan Zhen entered the house, Dahu exerted all his strength and said:

"I just talked to Shanzi about some things in the factory, all of which are technical matters, so I didn't let you listen to them, you won't be angry with me, right?"

"If I were angry with you, I wouldn't have lived today, oh, by the way, Shanzi went to the utility room just now, saying that he was going to see the coffin you made with him, what's going on?" Lan Zhen said.

"I asked him to go, you know, that coffin, it's been there for a long time, if you don't take out the oil, it should crack, it's a good wood, it's a pity." Big Tiger said.

"I'll go and make some porridge for you, drink it while it's hot for a while, I see that your face is not very good, drink the porridge, and sleep well."

Lan Zhen said, went to the kitchen, Shanzi checked the coffin, went home to prepare the materials for the oil coffin, returned home Shanzi, his eyes were red, as if he had cried, his mother Yu'er took Shanzi's hand and asked:

"What is your uncle looking for you?"

"Nothing." Shanzi said, crying.

"What else are you talking about? It must be your uncle who has something, otherwise, why would you cry so sadly? Mother said.

"Mom, I promised Uncle to keep it secret for him, if I tell you, you will help me keep it a secret."

After Shanzi finished speaking, he told his mother what the uncle explained to him, and the mother listened, and couldn't control her emotions, hugging her son and crying together, the cry of the mother and the mother, the father Jin Changyuan, who was not in good health, was alarmed, he was anxious to go to the big tiger's house after learning about the big tiger's condition, Shanzi told his parents that he was going to go tomorrow, and he went to the door for the reason of going to the door, otherwise, the aunt knew the truth, not only the uncle's condition, facing danger at any time, the aunt may also be overly sad, and there was an accident in the body, what can we do, It is to let the old couple spend these days safely.

Shanzi's persuasion played a role, the next day, the two elders of Jinchang, supporting each other, came to the big tiger, at this time, the big tiger, there is no longer the spirit when chatting with Shanzi yesterday, Lan Zhen told them two, the big tiger always said tired, always said to sleep, only drink some porridge every day, said that there was no appetite, listened to Lan Zhen's words, Jin Changyuan, who couldn't hold back the words, just opened his mouth to say, was pushed by Yu'er, this time, reminded him, maybe it was the sound of speaking, woke up the big tiger, the big tiger opened his eyes, He looked at Jin Changyuan and his wife sitting beside him and said:

"You two, why are you coming to me when you're not resting at home?"

"It's okay, Yu'er said, it's annoying to stay at home, I want to talk to you." Kim Chang-won said.

When the big tiger is energetic, he will have a sentence or two with the two of them, and when he is not energetic, he will close his eyes and rest.

In two days, Shanzi re-oiled the coffin, he also deliberately carried the uncle out, looked at the coffin of the new oil, Dahu expressed satisfaction, and slept in a daze for half a night, in the second half of the night, Dahu suddenly had an appetite, he asked Lan Zhen to cook him a bowl of noodles, and then lay an egg, Lan Zhen happily watched the old man eat, she thought, the old man's body, finally improved, finished eating the noodles, Dahu told Lan Zhen, not only did he have a big appetite, but the joints of his body did not hurt anymore, he didn't want to sleep tonight, I want to talk to her.

The two of them have gone through decades from acquaintance to ups and downs, chatting too much, the two of them chatted unconsciously until dawn, Lan Zhen wanted to cook food for the big tiger, he said to Lan Zhen, after saying the words of the second half of the night, he was tired and wanted to sleep, he asked Lan Zhen not to wake him up, let him sleep and wake up naturally, Lan Zhen helped the big tiger to lie down and walked out of the room alone.

At this time, Dahu's mind is still sober, but he obviously feels that his body is getting worse and worse, and his confidence is becoming more and more unable to keep up, he understands that God is going to accept him, last night, when his body was abnormal, in fact, he was clear, he remembered that when his grandfather and father left, it seemed that such a situation had occurred, and people often called this phenomenon ' Back to light', that is to say, during that time, Ben couldn't eat the appetite, but unexpectedly opened, Ben's aching joints, unexpectedly no longer hurt, but, after this phenomenon passed, it may be the time for him to leave, but all this, Lan Zhen didn't know.

Early the next morning, the neighborhood aunt came to the door and asked about the tiger's body, Lan Zhen told the aunt that last night, the tiger's body suddenly improved, and after eating a big bowl of noodles, the joints didn't hurt anymore, and she also accompanied her all night. Back to the light', Lan Zhen listened, patted the aunt gently, and said that she didn't have a door on her mouth, in order to confirm her words, the aunt walked into the house, saw the big tiger, slept very soundly, very quiet, she tried to scream a few times, but there was no response.

The aunt hurriedly let Lan Zhen into the house, Lan Zhen also pushed the big tiger a few times, the big tiger just closed his eyes and breathed, and did not agree, this time, Lan Zhen panicked, he called Shanzi in, Shanzi also shouted in the ear of the big tiger, but there was still no response, Lan Zhen hurriedly let Shanzi and find his son and daughter back.

Dahu is really tired, he slept so soundly, so fragrant, his daughter's cry, Lan Zhen's shout, failed to wake him up, his spirit and the whole person, fluttering, away from reality, farther and farther away, he passed the highest 'virgin peak' in Shayu Village, and saw that his grandfather and father were waving to him, and he also saw that Li Yonggen and his old mother, Meizi and the tailor, were also there.

The moment he turned around, when he left, his son Xiao Qi, who was only a few months old, also walked towards him, he rushed towards him desperately, he grabbed him, he cried and said to Xiao Qi, Dad will never leave you again, our ancestors and grandchildren are four generations, forever together, never separated.

He climbed over the 'virgin peak', and when he arrived at the place where he should come, he saw that the sky here was still clear, with white clouds, the mountains were green, and the water was blue, the only difference was that his body, without pain, without entanglements in his heart, had never been relaxed and happy in his life, and he floated comfortably all over his body.

On February 5, 1978, the 73-year-old Dahu, an ordinary carpenter, was gone, forever.

All the men, women and children of the village came to attend his funeral, and the villagers also spontaneously set up a mourning hall for him at the entrance of the village, burned incense and kowtowed, mourned him, and three days later, he was buried in the ancestral grave.

A few years later, his descendants rushed back to Shayu Village from home and abroad to pay respects to him and rebuild his grave, among which his granddaughter, who was studying for a doctorate in law, knelt in front of his grave with flowers in her hand and said to him:

"Grandpa, we grew up listening to your story, your educational philosophy, has been influencing us, you can rest assured, we will not live up to your expectations of us, after learning, we will take practical actions to serve the motherland, serve the hometown of the fathers, you will always be our pride, we will always be proud of you."
