The next day, it seemed that it was not yet dawn, the mother kissed Jiang Hu's face, as if she was rubbing her snot on Jiang Hu's face, and softly called the long-lost nickname, Sijiu, porridge is in the pot, get up and remember to eat it again when it is hot with An Ning, Sijiu continued to sleep in a daze.

"Brother, brother, my mother is gone, my mother left a letter and left!" An Ning shook Sijiu's arm vigorously.

Sijiu was pulled back to reality by this violent shaking. Sleepy eyes saw An Ning holding a piece of flower cloth in his hand, and a letter with the words "Forty-Nine Relatives".

Forty-nine, my mother is gone, my mother can finally be with your father and children, when you see the letter, my mother is already with my father, don't come to me.

"What did you say in your mother's letter?" An Ning shook Sijiu's arm anxiously.

"My mother said she was gone, and she wouldn't let us go to her."

You remember, take good care of yourself and your peace.

You are the child in yesterday's story, and your mother picked you up.

You are a girl, you are sorry for you, you can go to your biological parents, and you can live the life you want.

The rice at home is enough for the two of you to eat for a month, and the money in your hand can save some money.

I've tried to tell you as much detail as possible, and it's all about the details of your background.

In addition, the swaddling quilt that brought you back is made into two belly pockets, one yours and one mine.

Yours didn't wear it back when you went out to play when you were two years old, and you can take this one of mine.

"Where have you gone, what else have you said, what should we do, you are born to your mother, don't you want you anymore? Speak! An Ning was anxious like a cannon.

"What's so strange about this?"

"I'll see." An Ning snatched the letter paper.

"My mother said she went to find her father...... You're not your mother's biological either!! You're a girl!! Sentence by sentence, the tone gradually increased.

"Don't worry about those first, go to my mother first, she can't think about it, hurry up!" Sijiu roared and grabbed the broken straw sandals, pulled An Ning and ran out.

Running all the way, it seems that the wind is whistling past my ears, and my ears are buzzing.

On the back hill, I turned a small tree and saw a person lying on a new grave from a distance.

The heart seemed to jump out of her throat, and when she got closer, her face was pale, her eyes were quietly closed, and the corners of her mouth were even slightly upward, as if she had fallen asleep in a sweet dream.

A new wound on the left wrist, the blood has dried up, and the dirt under the wrist is damp.

"Mother! Mother! ”

The cries of the two children did not wake the dreamer.

"Mother doesn't want us anymore" An Ning's voice was faintly hoarse, with a flat mouth, red eye circles, and shiny water beans inside, which burst out of the embankment in an instant.

"It's okay, and brother." Sijiu is also sad in his heart, his throat is sour, but he still has a sister. "My mother is going to find my father, let's bury my mother, so that my mother will be with my father in the future."

The new grave, the soil is still loose, the brother and sister picked up the soil bag with their hands, dug out the soil in the pit one by one, touched the father's face and hands full of dirt, moved the father to the side, and vacated a little space, enough to put down the mother's thin body. put some soil on the position of the head, and An Ning said, "Let my mother be more comfortable." ”

Sijiu picked up his mother and carefully placed it in the pit, "Anning, take a good look at it, and we will cover it with soil." "The tranquil water beans burst the embankment again.

"Women are trouble." Sijiu pinned his face to the side to control the tears from falling out.

"You hate it!" An Ning got up and pushed it four or nine times, and then the brother and sister silently backfilled the soil. Respectfully kowtowed three heads.

Sijiu pulled An Ning and walked back slowly, as if all the strength in his body had been used up when he was running, and he even struggled to speak.

When I got home, it was past noon, An Ning's eyes were still red, and the water beans had been dried by the sun on the road.

The silence was broken by the gurgling sound of bowels, and the two looked at each other.

"I'll cook some food," Sijiu said, getting up.

"You go chop wood, I'll heat it."

I have eaten gruel and pickles.

Children from poor families do not have time to grieve. After eating, An Ning proposed to calculate the family's money, and the two of them had a total of eight dollars.

"That's a lot of money" It's the first time Sijiu has seen so much money, and he used to have a few pennies to buy a candy and a cake during the Chinese New Year.

"How can there be so much, one tael of silver and two stones of rice, we only have eight dollars of silver, even if we only eat rice, not meat, let's go to the back mountains to pick wild vegetables, you eat more, I eat less, plus the rice left at home, it is not enough for the two of us to eat for a year."

"You can't eat meat, it's okay, I'll go to the back mountain to dig out bird eggs for you, and if you're lucky, you can catch a pheasant or rabbit, you won't starve to death."

An Ning raised his forehead, "We can't sit and eat empty, and we have other things." As he spoke, his face was slightly red.

"What's the matter? What are you blushing for? Are you sick? I'll call a doctor for you, grab the money on the table and go out. ”

"I'm not sick, why are you going?" A hand grabbed the hand of Sijiu and grabbed the silver. "The money can't be moved."

"Your face was red just now, I thought you were sick, why did you get better so quickly?"

"I'm not sick!"

"Oh~ I know, you're shy, when the girl next door married the second dog last year, her face was so red, the same as your expression just now. What, do you want to get married? ”

"I hate it, my father and mother just passed away, what do you say, you want to marry a daughter-in-law."

"What you said is also serious, you want to get married, I want to marry a daughter-in-law, and I have to give people a bride price, some time ago I saw the daughter of the teahouse teapot turned 15 years old and married, dressed beautifully, Xiaohong's lips are tender, when she was a child, I also touched her hand, but tender ......"

"Nen, you go to her." Rolling her eyes, An Ning then felt that something was wrong, "The letter said that you are a girl?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Sijiu's clothes, "Let me see, why is it a girl?" ”

"What are you doing, don't talk to me." Sijiu was busy protecting his chest placket.

"Are you really a girl?"

"I'm a man, I've been since I was a child, pure masters," Sijiu said, showing off the muscles in his arms.

An Ning bit her fingers and frowned and thought, "Mother won't talk nonsense in the parting letter, are you standing or squatting?" ”

"You can pee when you're squatting or standing, but you're going to pee on your pants, what's wrong! What are you laughing at?! My mother said that I haven't grown up yet, and when I grow up, I pee standing up like other boys! ”

"Flutter...... Have you ever seen a boy squatting and peeing? ”

"My mother said that the men in our family are late maturing, and the later they are, the stronger their bodies become, and they also let me avoid others to save their self-esteem from being hurt." As he spoke, he raised his fist in demonstration.

I finally stopped laughing, "Boys have been standing up to pee, and only girls are squatting. As he spoke, he pounced over and pulled Sijiu's clothes, "Let me see, have you grown breasts, let me see!" ”

"Don't pull it, don't pull it, you're a girl, how can you do this, I have breasts, and strong men have breasts!"

"Mother won't lie to you!"

"Did the mother tell the truth before, or did she tell the truth in the letter?" Sijiu racked his brains to justify.

"If you take it off, let me see it." An Ning's strength is small, and after all, he can't tear up four or nine, so he compares to whether your chest is like that or that, and whether it is like that.

Sijiu was stunned, his sister Anning was a pure little princess, and it was impossible to see a man, that is, he was really a girl? "Take out my mother's letter, I'll take a look at it again"

"I'm really a girl?!!" Sijiu's head is full of yarn, "My scholarly sister ......" The tender hands of the little girl she has touched over the years, the skills she has studied to please her daughter-in-law, and the candidates she has found for her daughter-in-law have all come to naught? "My ears, my ears!"

"Still thinking about her! Still thinking about that vixen! ”

"Didn't think, didn't think, let go of my ears." While rubbing his ears, he muttered, "Why didn't I find you such a tigress before." ”

"Before, I thought I would marry you, just like my mother marrying my father."
