In winter, Old Man Qi's old horse gradually stopped eating grass, his hair fell out, and his body shook. The old man Qi was sad in his heart, changed his habit of going to bed early and getting up early, and stayed up late to accompany the old horse in a leather jacket for two consecutive nights.

On the second night, the old horse fell and never got up, the sound of it falling woke up the drowsy old man Qi, it tried to open its eyes, and finally glanced at the old master, the last trace of white gas came out of its nostrils, and it went away in this winter night.

"The old man has never been idle all his life, and he spares no effort when he works, and he never stumbles, and there is no more righteous animal than him." Old Man Qi gently stroked the old horse's body, refused to go back to the house to rest, and combed the old horse's mane over and over again.

Old man Qi kept flashing the last nostalgic glance of the old horse in his mind, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he cut off a lock of ponytail and put it away, then found a pickaxe, and dug a pit in the back garden overnight to bury the old horse. Qi Youde went to wake up his son, the three of them dug the frozen soil, and until dawn, they buried the old horse properly, and the old man Qi lay on the kang for two days afterwards, without eating or drinking.

was so frightened that even Qi Youfang rushed from Qingfeng Forest Farm.

Qi Youheng's family also rushed to Taiping Village, and the old man Qi was lying on the kang, his lips were chapped, his face was gray, and he looked bored.

He explained the aftermath in front of the family, and he instructed his children to take care of each other and unite and be kind. The house belonged to Qi Youde, and he handed over the passbook to the eldest son, 1,200 yuan, and the three sons had a family of 400.

He asked Shen Mengxi to go into the kang qin and find a small wooden box wrapped in yellow cloth, which contained some jewelry and two books.

"This is your mother's dowry, Hui Ci and Hui Shan each have a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of silver bracelets for each granddaughter, and the little gold tweezers that have been left behind are given to the jewels, and the two books are also given to the jewels."

"Master, Baozhu is only in the second grade, and the books are all real handwriting, can she understand it?" Qi Baoliang interjected.

Old Man Qi glared at him hatefully, "I'm so happy!" ”

Everyone wants to be happy, this is full of energy, but they have to explain the future.

Shen Mengxi quietly gave the old man a pulse under the hood, and there was no big problem, so he was relieved. smiled and compared the old man with a "two", Qi Youde also nodded again and again, and followed the comparison with "two", "Dad, have you forgotten what Zhuzhu said?" ”

Old Man Qi's eyes flickered, and he looked at his granddaughter.

Shen Mengxi handed him a glass of water, Old Man Qi shook his head and didn't drink it, Shen Mengxi glared, Old Man Qi resisted for three seconds, sighed and struggled to sit up, drank half a cup, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Mengxi smiled, his heart was unhindered, and there was no terror. The old man is due to the death of the old horse, and there are too many associations.

The greatest fear of human beings is nothing more than the unknown. There is no one who has never died who is not afraid of death. The older you get, the more afraid you are of death.

That night, Old Man Qi drank a little porridge, his stomach was rumbling, he couldn't control it, and let out a very loud fart, and everyone laughed.

"Dad, you better keep it." Qi Youde smiled and returned the passbook to Old Man Qi.

Through this toss, Old Man Qi felt the importance of his children and grandchildren to him, and his heart was very useful, he took the passbook with a smile, "Then put it on hold with me for a few more years!" ”

Qi Baoman said, "Hmph, I won't return the silver bracelet!" When it comes to me, no one wants to take it! ”

Old Man Qi smiled, "Fuck! ”

The two books in Shen Mengxi's hand, one is the medical book "The Book of Difficulty", and the other is the fat criticism book "Dream of Red Mansions", which is very precious.

Shen Mengxi held the book, thinking in his heart what kind of person Mrs. Qi was.

"Does Grandma have any other books?" Still asked.

"Why not, what about the old man, they have all been copied and burned!" Old Man Qi said regretfully, "Your grandmother loves to read, our family is a middle peasant, your second uncle is a martyr, and people don't search our house too much, but everyone in Tunzi knows that your milk has books, and your grandmother put a stack of books on the bright side, which makes people search and burn." The rest was left for me to hide. When your grandmother left, I put half of your jewelry in a coffin to bury you. These two books are falling. ”

Shen Mengxi was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"I laid her under the coffin and let her lie down on the book." Old Man Qi said reminiscingly, "You are so good at your brain, you can learn everything as soon as you learn it." Your grandfather is too smart. This girl follows her father, and her son follows her mother. Your father and the four of them are all with your milk, and their brains are all good, especially your second uncle......" Old Man Qi couldn't go on.

Qi Youheng coughed and diverted the topic, "Do you know, something big happened!" ”

Everyone was attracted, and the old man Qi also pillowed, lay in the kang, and looked at the old son.

"A few days ago, something big happened to the Sixth Regiment. A new soldier was beaten by the veteran, and he couldn't stand it for a while, so he crossed the river overnight. ”

"Huh?" Qi Baoliang's chopsticks fell to the ground, "This, this is treason!" ”

"yes, that's why something big happened." Qi Youheng put down his chopsticks, "Veterans pick up recruits, it's the same everywhere, maybe this recruit is pampered, maybe it's the veteran who is too much, but it's not a reason to cross the river and defect." ”

"Health, are you recruits also beaten?" Old Man Qi suddenly interjected.

"Of course." Qi Jian said with a smile, "If the action is not standardized, take a kick from the veteran squad leader, run errands for the squad leader, and wash your feet or something." ”

"Oh." Old Man Qi snorted unhappily in his heart.

"The next year we were veterans, and then we packed up the new ones. That's how it all came. Qi Health laughed.

The whole family laughed.

"So what's going on? Did the six regiments react upward? ”

"It's definitely reacting, the impact is too bad! I'm negotiating with the other side! ”

This winter, a primary school poured an ice rink in a small playground and purchased skates of various shoe sizes to allow students to contact skating in their spare time.

She has to skate at school until dark every day after school, and she doesn't have to pick up and drop off health care, and she walks on her own skate when she goes to and from school, coming and going. In short, every day is not touching the ground.

Seeing Lu Xiuzhi frowning, "This is even more naughty than her fourth brother!" ”

"Just buy it, just don't get sick!" Qi Youheng sat on the sofa and watched TV.

Lu Xiuzhi was holding her daughter's cotton pants in her hand, and she was picking up the cotton pants, which was more than an inch, "Zhuzhu has not grown much in the past six months!" ”

"Well, children are like this, they are generally sick when they are young, and they are more porcelain when they are older!" Qi Youheng has nothing to worry about now, the eldest son's legs and feet are becoming more and more neat, the younger daughter is getting stronger and stronger, the work is smooth, and the family is harmonious, he took a puff of cigarette and leaned his head on the back of the sofa.
