"Er, it's really you back!" Shi Gengtian ran in a hurry, separated everyone, and gasped. I haven't seen my brother for half a year, and I don't know what happened to my brother's illness? Shi Gengtian immediately went to look at Shi Youtian's face in Ruicheng's arms, but he didn't expect his brother's first impression of him to be thin, skinny and thin, in his mind, he couldn't imagine that the brother would be so thin anyway.

Shi Gengtian's heart trembled uncomfortably, and for a moment the old tears were rampant, and he trembled to touch his brother's face, and his lips trembled uncontrollably: "Why are you thin, second, why are you thin......"

"Big brother, I'm back." Shi Youtian took the eldest brother's hand and looked at the eldest brother, with tears in his eyes but still smiling.

Shi Dayong locked the car and reached out to pick up Ruicheng's father in his arms: "Second child, let me hold it." As he spoke, he looked at Shi Gengtian again: "Uncle, let's not talk about it here, let's go home." ”

Rui Cheng hugged his father and flashed slightly, avoiding Shi Dayong's hand: "Big brother, I'll just hold it, and my father won't sink." ”

When he first received his father, Rui Cheng flashed it, he took out the strength to hug an adult to pick up his father, but he didn't expect that the father who started was fluttering, not much heavier than a big child, which made his hand flash at the same time, and his heart flashed at the same time: Dad, it's already so light?

"Yes, yes, go home." The two old brothers looked at each other for a while, and Shi Dayong's prompt made Shi Gengtian wake up like a dream, and the group walked towards the courtyard.

Finally entered his own house, the autumn grain was newly harvested, the yard was full of corn cobs, on the wall, on the ground, everywhere a piece of gold, half-foot-long ears, yellow and full corn kernels, all announcing that this was another harvest year.

Shi Youtian couldn't rest assured that there were more than a dozen acres of his land, and he was relieved to see the grain in the yard, even if he didn't stare at it himself, the children knew that they were working. Shi Youtian was very pleased, he pointed to the position he often does, and said to Ruicheng: "Second brother, just let me go, I want to see our family's grain." ”

Speaking of food, Rui Cheng had something to say, he first put his father on the chair to do it, and then took two big ears of corn to show off to his father: "Dad, look at it, how good the fruit is, I estimate that there are eight or nine hundred even if there is not a thousand catties per acre, and I have never received so much grain, Dad, look." Rui Cheng's right hand formed a circle in the courtyard, and he pointed out the posture of the country a little: "All of them, all of them." ”

"Okay." Ishigeta nodded.

Ruiquan pulled over three benches, one asked the uncle to sit down, and then placed two beside the mother, so that the mother and the eldest mother could sit together.

The villagers who followed up each pulled a bench, and those who didn't find a bench found something to sit on, and they all gathered around Shi Youtian to talk to him.

Shi Gengtian didn't care about studying this year's grain, he was worried about Shi Youtian's illness, and as soon as he sat down, he took his brother's hand and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong with your illness, you haven't told me yet." ”

"That's right, what's wrong with the second uncle, tell us."

When the person arrived at this, Shi Youtian also saw it, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was as relaxed as possible: "I can't see it, I don't look at it." ”

Everyone stopped talking, you look at me, I look at you, after a while, someone said cautiously: "Why don't you look good, second brother, I think your face is very good." ”

Zhou Ronghua looked at Shi Youtian and turned his inquiring gaze to Sun Xiufang.

Sun Xiufang didn't speak, just lowered her eyes and watched the tears fall down vigorously.

"Alas......" Zhou Ronghua sighed and patted the back of Sun Xiufang's hand.

Shi Youtian didn't feel that his face was good, he touched his cheek, touched a handful of bones, and he said noncommittally: "Really?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Everyone nodded.

"Dick." Shi Gengtian lifted his front placket and wiped the corners of his eyes: "You tell the eldest brother, why can't you see it." ”

For Shi Youtian, Shi Gengtian is the existence of both father and brother. Shi Gengtian is four years older than Shi Youtian, from Shi Youtian was born, he gave his mother a hand to watch the child, the younger brother was a full moon, his father and mother went out to work, and the younger brother showed him the whole son, Shi Youtian had just turned ten years old, and his parents died of illness one after another, this younger brother can be said to be Shi Gengtian grew up.

The brother who grew up and depended on each other forced a smile and told him that he couldn't see it, which made Shi Gengtian very sad.

"Big brother, don't talk about it, in short, Dayong took me to see a doctor when he was free in the past half a year, Chinese medicine and Western medicine have seen it, and the medicine is not less, and the sin is still the same, so ......" said such a long sentence in one breath, Shi Youtian was a little out of breath, he took a few deep breaths, and then said: "Big brother, I'm back, I think I have to go back to my home even if I die." ”

The brother's words made Shi Gengtian's tears wipe more and more: "Second brother, brother ......" The old man wanted to comfort his brother, but he didn't know what to say, first blindly wiped his tears, and then simply didn't wipe them, covered his face with both hands, and cried out loud.

Shi Youtian put his hand on the top of his eldest brother's head and rubbed it: "Big brother, don't cry, big brother, this is my brother's life...... Eldest brother... Woo ...... "Originally, Shi Youtian wanted to persuade the eldest brother to come, but he didn't expect to be persuaded to succeed, and he couldn't help it, and after persuading, he simply hugged the eldest brother's head and cried with the eldest brother."

The cry like a yak made the old relatives and neighbors sigh, and they persuaded one after another, everyone's cultural level is not high, and the words of persuasion are extremely white, nothing more than: don't cry, everyone has to take this step and so on, soft-hearted people began to sigh and wipe their tears.

Ruitao and Ruiqiang brothers heard that the second uncle was back, the two hurried over, and before they entered the door, they heard a howl from the courtyard, and their hearts were broken, why did they cry, the two looked at each other, and immediately ran away and ran to the yard.

"Dad, second uncle." The two brothers were full of urgency, walked forward quickly, and squatted beside their father and second uncle: "What's the matter, why are you still crying." ”

Lao Shi's family originally had a large population, and as soon as these two guys came, it seemed even more crowded and crowded, and this scene was too worrying, and the neighbors began to say goodbye.

The courtyard was left with the old Shi family, and the old brothers vented their frustration well, and then gradually stopped crying.

When it was time to make lunch again, He Xiaoxia wiped away her tears and came over to consult Shi Youtian: "Dad, what do you want to eat at noon?" I'll do it for you. ”

Shi Youtian was tired after crying, and he was a little sluggish: "You don't have to do anything else, just use the freshly beaten stick noodles to cook a bowl of mush for me." He thought that he would not survive the autumn grain, but he did not expect that he would really be able to eat the newly beaten grain.

For lunch, Shi Gengtian's family did not go back, and they all ate at Shi Youtian's house. Compared with some time ago, Shi Youtian eats a lot today, and he still wants to eat the soy bean pickles made by Sun Xiufang, he wants to eat them very much, Sun Xiufang specially picked the fastened watermelon skin from the sauce jar, twisted it into sauce, dotted a few drops of sesame oil, and drank more than half a bowl of corn paste with pickles.

After eating, it was obvious that Shi Youtian was in poor spirits, and his eyelids kept drooping, Shi Dayong put down the bowl, picked up his father, and put his mouth to his father's ear: "Dad, I'll send you to sleep in the house?" ”

"Oh, sleep, sleep." Shi Youtian also felt that his head was heavy at this time, and it was difficult to raise his head, he tried to open his eyes wide, and said to Shi Gengtian: "Big brother, I'll go to sleep first." As soon as the words fell, his head was already crooked in Shi Dayong's arms.

In medicine, there is a word called "return to light", which refers to the sudden excitement of a person's spirit before death, such as a patient who has been in a coma for a long time suddenly awake, and even be able to talk to relatives. People who lose their appetite and do not eat or drink will suddenly want to eat, and some elderly people will have all the wrinkles on their faces, and their complexion will be shiny. These phenomena of improvement are an illusion, giving people an illusion that will make relatives mistakenly believe that the patient has turned a corner, and experienced people will know at a glance that this is a return to the light, a signal that the patient is saying goodbye to his relatives.

Shi Youtian's situation is a typical return to the light, his body can support the return to his hometown is not easy, the excitement has passed, and the last bit of vitality in the body has been overdrawn.

The second uncle fell asleep, and his father was not young, and the two brothers Ruitao and Ruiqiang felt sorry for their father and persuaded their father to go back to rest.

"Daddy." Ruitao said: "My second uncle is asleep, and you can't help here, so it's better for you to go home and rest for a while, and come back when my second uncle wakes up." ”

"Yes, Daddy." Rui Qiang also said: "I'm guarding here, as soon as my second uncle wakes up, I'll call you?" ”

It's really unforgiving, Shi Gengtian cried a lot, and he felt tired, so he stood up with his son's hand and beckoned to his wife: "Child, let's go home first, and we'll come back when the second child wakes up in a while." ”

"Oh, medium." Zhou Ronghua said goodbye to Sun Xiufang, she held Sun Xiufang's arm with one hand, and wiped the tears on Sun Xiufang's face with the other: "His second aunt, don't cry, you have to worry about your body." ”

Sun Xiufang nodded: "Sister-in-law, I understand, I know everything, but I can't do it." ”

"Ugh." Zhou Ronghua sighed again: "His second aunt, persuade yourself." ”

Sending off the eldest brother and his wife, Sun Xiufang returned to the house and stayed by Shi Youtian's bedside, now she didn't dare to let Shi Youtian leave her eyes, lest if she missed her eyes, the old man would be gone, she sat on the edge of the bed, took the old man's hand, whispered warm words and chattered with him to recall the bits and pieces of the two when they were young, talk about the joy that a few children brought to them when they grew up, and ask a paragraph: "Old man, do you remember?" As she spoke, she came up sleepy, leaned over and said to Shi Youtian: "Old man, go inside, make some room for me, and I'll be crooked for a while." ”

Even though she knew that the old man would not respond to her when he fell asleep, she just wanted to talk to him, and she was afraid that she would never find the person to talk to again.
