The sun was setting in the west, the twilight was getting thicker, Shi Dayong saw that the sky was darkening, and pulled the lamp rope with his hand.

"Bang" sound, the light bloomed instantly, Ruimin lives so big, he has never seen so clearly in the dark, how to turn on the light, he is still a little unaccustomed, subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened it again, everything in the house is still so clear, Ruimin is very happy, and even has a little happiness in his heart, finally, finally he doesn't have to touch and walk in the dark night.

The hometown is also electrified, but Shi Youtian is distressed about the electricity money, and installed a light bulb with the smallest wattage, even if it is lit, the light is like a bean, which can only illuminate a limited distance, not to mention that Shi Youtian is reluctant to turn it on at all, every time the moon is the best, it is resolutely not opened, even if there is no moonlight, the black rumbling is a piece, and it will be turned on for a while, and the family will go to bed early.

Shi Youtian was used to saving money, as soon as the light came on, he began to feel distressed, stayed for a while, and finally couldn't help muttering: "What time is it?" What lights are still on when the sky is still so bright? It doesn't cost anything to burn electricity? Swiss ......"

"Dad, it's not early, I can't even see it." Ruimin knew what his father meant, his father wanted him to turn off the light, but Ruimin didn't want to turn it off, he enjoyed this clear evening in front of him.

Zhang Qiang hasn't seen Shi Dayong for a few days, and when he asked Wang Ying, he knew that something was going on at his house, and when he got home today, he heard Cui Yunxiang say as soon as he entered the house: "Lao Zhang, I saw Shi Dayong come back today, and he also unloaded two beds down, it must be a relative from the family, doesn't it mean that his father is not very good, is it that Shi Dayong took his father back, let's take the time to take a look." ”

"Coming back so soon?" Zhang Qiang put down the things in his hand and said: "Count the days, he has enough to rush this way, so you have to go and see, and we will go over after dinner." ”

He and Shi Dayong usually get close, not to mention that the two families are still fellow villagers, there are people from this hometown, and they have to go and see everything.

Zhang Qiang is bold, and he is not harsh on his family, every time he comes back from duty, he has to buy a lot of food for his family, in his own words, he is training a successor, and his two sons will have to be sent to the army in the future, so to raise the child's body well, don't be like a weak chicken to inspect the army and then can't pass it, and lose his Zhang Qiang's face.

After eating, it is estimated that Shi Dayong's house is almost cleaned up, Zhang Qiang squatted in front of a bunch of things he brought back and picked up, when he passed by the market, he saw that there were wild rabbits for sale, and they were not too expensive, one dollar a piece, the most important thing was to eat the braised rabbit meat made by the child's mother, as long as he wanted to eat, no matter how expensive he was, he was willing to buy it.

Zhang Qiang picked out the rabbit first and put it aside, thinking about carrying it to Shi Dayong's house for a while, he wanted to eat it, and he would buy it next time.

A rabbit, and picked out some eggs from the family, and checked them with his hands, about four or five catties, and he could handle a patient, Zhang Qiang felt that there was a black shadow standing above him, he looked up, Cui Yunxiang said while untying his apron: "Okay, I'm done, let's go." ”

"Mother, I'll go too!" Zhang Jun heard that his father and mother said that he was going to Coco's sister's house, so he hurriedly went to his mother's side and said.

"What are you going to do? You are everywhere, you honestly take care of your brother at home. Zhang Qiang got up and glared at his son.

"I'll go, I'll ask Uncle Shi when Sister Keke will come back." The little boy is still thinking about Shi Ke.

Then I won't let you go, don't you go and sprinkle salt on Wang Ying's wounds, Zhang Qiang thought about it, squatted down again, and made himself on par with his son: "Junzi, you remember, don't pretend to be in front of your Uncle Shi and Aunt Keke in the future, don't you hear?" ”

"Why can't you mention it?" Zhang Jun was puzzled, isn't Shi an aunt's child? If they don't come back, they won't be in a hurry?

Zhang Qiang didn't want to explain so much to his son, just rubbed his son's head and said, "Don't ask so much, you just need to remember your words and mine." After speaking, Zhang Qiang's tone was aggravated: "Did you hear it!" ”

"Oh." If you don't mention it, don't mention it, don't mention it, I won't look at it, the two families are so close, passing by Coco's sister's house every day, as long as you look inside, you can know if my sister is back.

The courtyard door was closed, looking along the crack in the door, there were shadows inside, knowing that the family had not slept yet, Zhang Qiang bent his index finger and knocked on the door a few times, "Bang!" Nation! Nation! ”

Someone knocked on the door, and Wang Ying glanced at Shi Dayong: "Who knocked on the door?" ”

Shi Dayong stood up and walked out: "I'll take a look." ”

Looking at the figure that came out, he knew that it was Shi Dayong, and Zhang Qiang took the lead in saying hello: "Dayong, it's me." ”

It turned out to be Brother Zhang, Shi Dayong hurriedly pulled the bolt of the door: "Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, you are here, come into the house, when did you come back, Brother Zhang?" ”

"We just arrived today, Dayong, is my uncle here? What's the situation, I heard my younger siblings say that the old man is not very good? ”

"Hmm." Several people walked into the house together, because it was too close to the house, Shi Dayong was afraid that his father would hear it, so he didn't dare to tell the truth, but just said vaguely: "It's not good, I'll talk to you again when I get back." ”

"Sister-in-law, you're here." Wang Ying hugged An An and exchanged pleasantries with Cui Yunying.

"Hmm." Cui Yunying stretched out her hands to An An: "Come, I'll hug you." ”

An An was very familiar with Cui Yunying, and turned to Cui Yunying's arms with a small body at the moment.

"Father, mother, my colleague is also our fellow countryman, and my hometown is in S County." Shi Dayong introduced.

"Uncle, aunt, my name is Zhang Qiang, come and see you." Zhang Qiang handed the things in his hand to Shi Dayong.

"Look at you, what else are you going to buy?" To be honest, Shi Dayong doesn't want to owe favors to others at all, but today, he owes favors to others again and again, favors are not money, it is easy to borrow and repay, and it is not difficult to borrow again.

"What are you still polite to my brother? The rabbit was bought on the way back, and tomorrow you stew it for your uncle, and the eggs are the eggs laid by the chickens raised by your sister-in-law. ”

Shi Youtian was leaning on the quilt and lying on the new bed, when he saw the guests, he immediately straightened his body and was about to get out of bed, Zhang Qiang saw it, hurriedly took two steps forward, and sat down on the edge of the bed, "Uncle Shi, don't get up, don't get up, you lie down, don't see me outside, there are no outsiders." ”

Cui Yunxiang walked up to Sun Xiufang with An An in her arms, "Auntie, are you tired all the way?" ”

"It's okay, not tired." Sun Xiufang looked at Cui Yunxiang politely, and then turned her gaze to Wang Ying.

Wang Ying pulled over the two benches and put them beside the two, patted Cui Yunxiang's arm and said, "Let's talk about it, it's hard to get rid of the passengers." ”

After Cui Yunxiang sat down, she moved An An to her lap, "Auntie, my family is not far from your house, I have nothing to do in the future, I will sit at my house in the future, after a long time, you will know, in the whole team, count the two of us close." ”

Cui Yunxiang grinned loudly, and her voice was bold, which made Sun Xiufang feel a little good, "Zhong, let Yingzi take me over when it's okay." ”

"Uncle, when did you arrive today?" Zhang Qiang secretly looked at Shi Youtian's face, looking at the old man's state, but it was very bad, his face was not sallow, it had turned black and yellow.

"Arrived in the afternoon." Shi Youtian's voice was not high, weak and hoarse.

Zhang Qiang noticed that there was still a young man in his twenties sitting in the room, he knew that Shi Dayong had five younger brothers, but he didn't know that this was the eldest, "This brother is ......"

"These are the four brothers of Dayong." At this time, Shi Dayong took two glasses of water, one to Zhang Qiang, and one to Cui Yunxiang, "Brother Zhang, drink water, sister-in-law, drink a glass of water." ”

Zhang Qiang took the cup, "You can sit down, you don't have to greet me." After speaking, he asked Xiang Ruimin: "What word is the fourth brother?" ”

Zhang Qiang's kind words, Ruimin didn't understand, he didn't know what Zhang Qiang was asking, his ignorant eyes turned to Shi Dayong, Shi Dayong said: "It's called Ruimin, Shi Ruimin." ”

"Oh, how old is Ruimin this year?" This Ruimin knew what it meant, and immediately replied, "Twenty-seven." ”

"Oh, twenty-seven, it's not too small, what does Ruimin usually do in his hometown?" Zhang Qiang held the water cup in his hand and asked Shi Youtian first: "Uncle, do you want to drink water?" ”

Shi Youtian waved his hand: "I just ate, I'm not thirsty, you drink." ”

When it comes to making a living, Ruimin is a little embarrassed, "I didn't do anything to make a living, I just farmed." ”

Zhang Qiang drank a few sips of water, wiped his mouth and said: "Farming is good, farming is also a contribution to our country, isn't it, if no one farms, what do we eat and drink?" Right, uncle. ”

Ruimin disagreed, and said in his heart: You think farming is good, why don't you go farming?

Shi Youtian smiled reluctantly: "That being said, it's still good to have a job, right?" This is not to bring the fourth child out this time, or to let his eldest brother see an opportunity to find a job, and he will not go back in the future. ”

Let Shi Dayong find a job? That's not a small challenge. Zhang Qiang couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Shi Dayong, Shi Dayong smiled helplessly and didn't say anything.

Cui Yunxiang was talking to Sun Xiufang here, and the greetings between the old men were not revealed in his ears, and he also heard the matter of asking Shi Dayong to find a job for Ruimin, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Ying, Wang Ying and Shi Dayong are husband and wife, and even the expression is the same, Wang Ying grinned at Cui Yunxiang with a wry smile, his eyes were dim, and he lowered his eyes.

Zhang Qiang and his wife sat for a while, and then got up and said goodbye: "Uncle, aunt, it's not too early, we won't disturb everyone's rest, let's go home." ”

Shi Youtian wanted to get out of bed to see him off, but Zhang Qiang held his shoulder: "Uncle, you just have a good rest, I don't have to send it, our two families are close, just go out." ”

Shi Youtian got out of bed and sent it just politely, how could he have those energy, and hurriedly instructed Shi Dayong: "Then Dayong will send it." ”

Zhang Qiang and his wife went out, Wang Ying hurriedly took An An back, and the family sent it out together, Cui Yunxiang let it go again: "Auntie, you really don't need to send it, go back quickly, Yingzi, hurry up and help Auntie go back." ”

It was sent to the gate, and Wang Ying took Sun Xiufang's arm and walked back.
