In my heart, I actually remember that Sister Liu said that Yulu's mother came to look for her, and it is not bad to have time to go to my aunt's place now.

The corners of the community are still full of garbage, the house where Sister Liu used to live has been demolished, and the children are playing in the mud and sand, as if there is another playground for them.

I quickly walked to my aunt's door, and there was a murmur of noises coming from inside the small half-open door.

I walked in without knocking on the door, and I saw the village chief and several men sitting at the table, talking and laughing, drinking, while my aunt sat on the side, wearing new clothes, and looked at everyone shyly without saying a word.

The man sitting in front of the door saw that I walked in without saying hello, his expression was very displeased, and he reached out to stop me.

"Didn't you see us eating, what are you? Don't have long eyes? As soon as I entered the door, I was scolded, and I was very unhappy, so I pushed the man's arm away and said, "Is there something wrong with you?" What does it matter to you that I'm coming in? ”

When my aunt saw me, she wanted to get up but was stared at by the village, and his restless palm was already on my aunt's lap.

"Don't be so rude, everyone is from the same village, you are Zhang Lone, right? Zhang Lie's son? The village chief asked, and poured me a glass of wine

My eyes were all in the village chief's hand, and I nodded with anger in my heart and sat down opposite the man who had just scolded me at the dinner table.

"A temper tantrum with your father"

The village chief took a sip of wine as he spoke, and the man next to him hurriedly took the bottle and poured it a little more.

"Your brother Zhang Lei has a lot of skills, how can you be crepe?"

The man mentioned his brother as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Zhang Lin even more unhappy. He didn't answer, just looked at her disdainfully, and drank the liquor from the glass in one gulp.

The village chief always kept smiling, looking at it always a little obscene, his face seemed to have been wiped with something, it looked a little white and shiny, and his black and yellow teeth couldn't lock the smell of wine in his mouth, I smelled it across the table, I don't know what my aunt thought to be able to sit next to him.

"Why don't you drink here first, we have to go back and deal with some things, those villagers are making trouble again" The man next to him stood up with a hippie smile on his face, and said to the village chief in a soft tone that he didn't sit down.

The village chief looked at his mobile phone and took a puff of cigarette: "Okay, I'll go back with you too, there are still some things that I still need to do" After speaking, he patted his aunt on the shoulder and glanced at me, walked in front and left.

My aunt stepped forward to close the door and sat down next to me, a little afraid to look me in the eye. Fill my bowl with some food and let me eat it while it's hot.

I was very disgusted and upset to see the village chief in my aunt's house, and I was not in the mood to ask more about the ins and outs of the current meal, so I lowered my head and silently ate the food in the bowl.

"They're here to help me deal with some land matters, and you know that the village is going to redivide the land, and there's nothing I can do about ......it."

There was a hint of desolation in my aunt's tone, I understood my aunt's situation, and this meal may also be a last resort.

"Everyone knows what the village chief is like, but I don't think the people around him are so simple, you better pay more attention and don't have too much contact with them" I kindly reminded, and my eyes still didn't look at my aunt.

My aunt smiled slightly and pulled me to sit on the newly bought sofa: "It's a little cold in the house, you can put on some clothes."

"Huh? Did my aunt drink too much? How can it be cold on such a hot day? ”

I couldn't figure it out, watching my aunt suddenly take a coat that my brother was wearing before and handed it to me, I was surprised that I still didn't ask, and silently got dressed, this dress evoked my memories, this is the coat that my brother often wears in the summer, no matter how big the sun is during that time, my brother will wear this gray thin coat, the purpose is actually to cover the wounds and scars left by those fights.

"How did you get this dress?" I still can't help but ask.

My aunt stared at me and said briskly, with a little more happiness on her face.

"The last time I went to your house to help clean up the house, I found your brother's clothes, you were wearing similar clothes, a little bit of his smell"

I always felt that my aunt was a little strange, and I was very puzzled by my inexplicable behavior. She sat close to me and didn't speak, just kept looking at me like this, and I felt uncomfortable with this kind of gaze appreciating the artwork.

"What's wrong with me?" Staring at my aunt, I asked tentatively.

"No, no, I just think that looking at you like this, I really think you and your brother are like you!"

"Isn't that normal, haha"

I laughed embarrassedly, curious in my heart, why is it that my aunt's mouth has always been Zhang Lei today.

My aunt's eyes were still staring at me, and I couldn't figure out why. It stands to reason that this kind of look of hers shouldn't appear on me, and I haven't seen my aunt like this in the past, is it really because I drank too much?

"Auntie, you better go up and rest and rest, you smell of wine, and the rain and dew are about to go home, I'll help you clean up" I got up and came to the table. My aunt smiled and nodded, and walked into the bathroom.

Under the table is a pile of wine bottles, there is still a faint smell of perfume in front of the table, I suddenly feel a little heartache, Sister Liu once said to me, widowed women are the most pitiful people in the world, they rely on the mountain to find that they can't find the way forward at all, will only wander in the same place, looking forward to the appearance of someone can bring them warmth, but afraid that this is a short-term feeling left more or pain, I am suddenly a little scared, will my aunt be like Sister Liu, forced to sell her dignity for life.

Sitting alone on the couch, I lit another cigarette and listened to the sound of my aunt taking a shower, and I don't know why I suddenly felt more like a man at this moment.

Wang Qiu came to the door of Xiaohua's house along the mountain road, Xiaohua was cleaning up the pig that had just been killed, and the beads of sweat on his forehead made Wang Qiu look very uncomfortable.

"You rest and rest, I'll do it" Wang Qiu took a basin of water and walked to the side of the pig killing table.

"No need, every time you come, you don't stop, how can you still look like a guest" Xiaohua looked at Wang Qiu's sudden appearance with a happy face, still busy with the work in her hands, skillfully washing the pork.

"I heard that my uncle is sick again, and it's not a way to drag it out like this, so let's go to the health center and have a look, I really can't ask them to come up and have a look."

"It's okay, my dad is just too tired, just rest and rest"

Wang Qiu looked at Xiaohua, although she is not beautiful, not as smart as other classmates, but she is the most simple and sensible existence, in Wang Qiu's eyes, in fact, Xiaohua is a fairy descending to earth, better looking than anyone else.

Wang Qiu carried the pork and hung it up, Xiaohua brought a cup of tea, and the two sat down in front of the door.

"It's going to get better, it's going to get better"

Wang Qiu couldn't forget the face of his uncle lying on the bed just now, it was not the vigor of that night, his face was ugly, his lips were white, and Wang Qiu couldn't say a word when he looked at him.

"Why don't we take time off to take care of my uncle together, he needs someone to be by his side"

Wang Qiu still couldn't put his mind at ease, and seriously told Xiaohua about his plan.

"No need, I'm used to it, the butcher's life is hard, you will be fine when you come next week, don't worry" Xiaohua looked at Wang Qiu and smiled faintly, and then buried her head again. Since her mother left, her father's health has deteriorated day by day, although she knows why, but she must not tell Wang Qiu.

"Don't worry about what happened that night, I drank too much, and you know that I'm a person, but I can't say good things in my mouth" Wang Qiu felt a little guilty, remembering the recklessness during the dinner that night, and didn't dare to look up at Xiaohua.

"Don't you usually do the same? It's okay, you're good to me in our class, I don't know if you're wrong with that tendon" Xiaohua looked at Wang Qiu, and saw him at a loss for the first time, it turned out that Wang Qiu was also careful.

"Because I ......"

Seeing Xiaohua staring at herself, Wang Qiu mustered up the courage but still didn't dare to say the words in his heart. Wang Qiu couldn't even support himself, how could he dare to say such irresponsible words in front of Xiaohua......
