In the past, the Yellow River often opened its mouths.

There is a family in Shandong, the man died, leaving behind the children, the son is 14 years old, the eldest daughter is 4 years old, and the younger daughter is 2 years old.

The husband died, and the small-footed woman was sick.

Less than a month after her husband died, someone in the tunzi shouted: "Run away, the Yellow River is open!" ”

The small-footed woman opened the door and went out, and saw that everyone was fleeing for miles. She said to her son, "Son, you can hold down my clothes with stones, and when you come back, you will find my mother." ”

The son brought stones and pressed the clothes that his mother was wearing.

The mother said to her son: "Huang Shuizi is almost here, you hold the little sister and lead the eldest sister, run away quickly." ”

"Mother, what about you?"

"You go quickly, if you leave late, you won't survive!"

The elder brother held one and led the other, and fled with the people of this village.

Huang Shuizi came, the deeper the water went, the younger brother hugged the younger sister and pulled the eldest sister. Seeing that he couldn't save two, he could only save one, so he let go of the little sister, carried the eldest sister on his back, and floated in the water to follow the people to a place where there was no water.

The elder brother leads the younger sister to ask for food every day, sometimes she can eat enough, sometimes she can't eat enough.

He said to his sister: "Follow me to suffer, my brother can't stand you." When you meet a good person, you will be able to eat to your heart's content. ”

When he walked to Juye Dali Village, his brother went to a family to ask for food, knowing that the family had no children and no daughters, and the two of them did not have children. He gave his sister to the house and left.

This family treats the girl who is coming as a baby, and the child has not suffered a little grievance in this family, but the more she grows up, the more homesick she becomes.

She saw that her father was dead, her mother was drowning and she didn't know, she always missed her mother, her brother, and the flooded home.

The adoptive parents knew what was going on in their daughter's mind, and they also wanted her to go home and look for her mother and brother. When the Yellow River opened, her daughter was only four years old, she didn't remember which county or village she belonged to, and her adoptive parents didn't ask her brother. I wanted to find it, but I couldn't find it.

The girl is older, and the Li family finds her in-law's house.

The mother-in-law's surname is Zhang, in Longqi, there is a lot of land, there is money, the son-in-law is a scholar, the door is right, and the mother's family is not less accompanied.

After getting married, life was good. She is tall, small-footed, medium-looking, smart and kind, and can speak, and the Zhang family likes this daughter-in-law.

Later, the daughter-in-law got up with the neighbor and said, "I don't remember what county or village my family has, but he knows my brother." He gave me to the Li family, the Li family's house, yard and gate are the best in Da Li Village, my brother can remember it, why didn't he come to see me? Over the years, I have always missed my brother and my mother. ”

A few days later, a man came to the house, and when he entered the door, he said, "Sister, I am your brother." After Huang Shuizi went down, I went home and buried my mother. Thanks to our mother for asking me to press her clothes with a stone, I didn't let the yellow water wash away. When I left home, there was still a little sister, I really couldn't save the two of you, as soon as I let go, the little sister drowned. ”

At this point, the man cried.

When the daughter-in-law heard it, he was right, it was really a brother.

She asked the man, "What's your name?" ”

The man said, "My name is the eldest child." ”

The daughter-in-law said, "No, my brother's name is Fang." Then he asked, "What is my name?" ”

"Your name is Xiaohua."

"No, my name is Pingping. Let me ask you, how many rooms do we have? What kind of room is it? ”

"Two brick houses."

"Not true. My family has three earthen bungalows, lying on my stomach. I want to have two brick houses, I go to the roof, I don't have to run away, and my mother can't drown. Let's go, you're not my brother. ”

This daughter-in-law, who was called Pingping when she was a child, is my mother-in-law's maiden grandmother. By the age of eighty, she was in tide (note: stupid), in today's parlance, Alzheimer's.

When she saw her son and grandson, she called her brother; When she saw her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, she called her mother and said, "I also have a mother, a mother, a mother, a mother." ”

This is what my mother-in-law learned to me.
