On that day, the sun was scorching, and a thin boy in a tattered shirt knocked on the door of Baogen's house.

"Uncle, can you give me something to eat?" the boy prayed.

"Poor boy, come into the house and I'll cook you noodles. Baogen took the boy by the hand and went back to the house.

"Eat slowly, it's not enough in the pot. Bao Gen looked at the gobbling boy and said distressedly.

"What's your name, how old are you, and what about your parents?"

The boy put down the bowl in his hand and cried: "My name is Dazhu, I am ten years old this year, the year before last, my parents went down to the mine together, but they never came up, my uncle got the compensation money from my parents and kicked me out, all the relatives did not want to care about me, I was so hungry, I began to ask for food." ”

"Good boy, don't cry, don't ask for food, I will be your father in the future, and you will live with me. Bao Gen said, wiping the tears from Dazhu's face.

"Dad......" Dazhu, who was wronged, cried and threw himself into Baogen's arms.

At this time, Qiu Ying, who had gone out to visit the door, returned home and asked in surprise, "Who is this child?"

Baogen told Qiu Ying about Dazhu and said that he wanted to recognize Dazhu as his son.

When Qiu Ying heard this, she hurriedly objected: "Our family is not rich in the first place, and our son Da Zhuang is already fourteen years old, so there will be more places to spend money in the future." ”

"With such a young child, everyone doesn't care, do you want to watch the child die?" Bogen yelled.

Qiu Ying glanced at Xiao Dazhu, thought for a while, and felt that the child was indeed pitiful, so she agreed to let him stay.

"Mom......" The bolt pillar knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qiu Ying, who smiled and pulled him up.

The people in the village knew that Baogen was going to adopt a child who wanted food, so they persuaded him: "Baogen, this child is already old, no matter how good you are to him, you can't cultivate feelings, when you are old, he will not give you a pension, why bother to make this trouble, let him go, just raise your own son." ”

Baogen smiled stupidly and said, "Look at what you said, I raised this child, and I didn't want him to support me for the elderly, we can't watch the child starve to death outside, right?"

Dazhu, who was hiding on the side, burst into tears when he heard Baogen's words, and he vowed to be filial to Baogen when he grew up.

At the age of sixteen, Dazhu went to work in the town, no matter what dirty work he had, as long as he could earn money, he would do it.

The boss saw that Dazhu was honest and capable, so he promoted him to be the leader, and also increased his salary.

Within a few years, Dazhu bought a house and a carriage in the city, and married the empathetic Guixiang.

"Mom and Dad, you can go to the city with me to live, and let me honor you well. "Dazhu asked Baogen and Qiuying to follow him to the city for retirement more than once.

Bao Gen refused with a happy smile every time: "We are very good at home, you renovated the house for us, gave us money every month, and often came back to see us, this is enough." ”

Da Zhuang has been lazy and lazy all these years, has no serious job, stays at home all day to gnaw on the old, and later marries a wicked daughter-in-law, Baogen and Qiuying have suffered a lot from their grievances.

One day at noon, Bao Gen said that he was tired and wanted to take a nap, who would have thought that he would never wake up after this sleep.

The torrential rain was still falling, Dazhu ignored the muddy water on the ground, knelt in front of Baogen's grave, and cried and said: "Dad, you worked hard to raise me, I haven't repaid your kindness, my son is sorry for you, you have been gone for a year, what is lacking over there, you can drag a dream for me, and I will burn it for you." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Dazhu heard Baogen's deep, loving, and cool voice: "Son, don't be sad, I'm fine here." ”

Dazhu looked up, but there was nothing but himself.

"Am I mistaken?" Dazhu blinked.

When he got home, he changed out of his muddy clothes, and said to Qiuying: "Mom, come with me, I'll provide for you in old age." ”

Qiu Ying wiped her tears and said, "Good boy, I know you are filial, but if I leave, who will take care of your uncompetitive brother." ”

Da Zhu glanced at Da Zhuang and his sister-in-law, who were lazy in the house, shook his head, and left with Guixiang and Tong'er.

Dazhu was driving the carriage on the road, and suddenly, the big tree on the side of the road fell on the road in an instant, and Dazhu almost hit it, and the boy was also scared and cried.

"Dazhu, can you be careful when you catch the car, what if you hit it. Guixiang complained about her husband while comforting the child.

Dazhu got out of the car with an umbrella to check, and this sight frightened him into a cold sweat, and there was a collapse less than 100 meters away from them.

Dazhu returned to the carriage, and Tong'er pointed to the big tree that fell to the ground and said, "Dad, just now I saw Grandpa bullying the rain and knocking down the tree. ”

Dazhu hurriedly looked out through the curtain of the carriage, and Baogen stood beside the carriage, looking at him with a smile on his face and saying, "Son, I'm leaving." With that, Baogen's figure disappeared into the heavy rain.

Tears gradually blurred Dazhu's eyes......

The people of the small village live a leisurely life by farming.

There is a bachelor in the village, his name is Lei Sheng, thin and dark, not tall, thirty years old and unmarried, now his parents are old, and the family is poor, every day for him to find a daughter-in-law to ask a matchmaker within a radius of a few miles to find a partner without complaint, but the girls don't fancy him.

He himself felt that his family was poor and incapable, he felt inferior, and felt that he might not be able to find a wife in this life, and then he became depraved, drinking and getting drunk every day, and occasionally lying drunk on the street, his parents were distressed when they looked at him, and his neighbors looked down on him.

One day, Lei Sheng was drinking with some drunkards, and there was a person who was outspoken and open-mouthed, saying that he was incompetent, he suddenly lifted the table, picked up a stool and threw it at the man's head, and the man ran away with his hands and feet.

When the people saw this scene, they couldn't drink, so they walked away, leaving Lei Sheng alone.

Lei Sheng watched everyone else leave, looked at the people around him talking, and felt that they were all laughing at him, so he bought a pot of wine and wanted to find a quiet place to continue drinking.

So Lei Sheng took the wine and walked slowly to a mountain forest, sat under a shady tree, drank a lot of sips in a daze, and fell asleep in a daze.

In the evening, hearing a miserable cry, Lei Sheng opened his eyes, looked around, and walked away, and saw a furry thing not far away, only to realize that it was a weasel when he approached.

The weasel was caught in the clip, and his right leg was clamped, leaving blood.

Lei Sheng looked at the weasel's eyes full of pleading, he felt that he was as pitiful as a weasel and needed the love of others.

He looked around and saw that there was no one, and crouched down to remove the clamp, and the weasel seemed to think that he was helping it, and did not struggle anymore.

Lei Sheng saw that the weasel was so badly injured, so he took it home.

Back home, Lei Sheng secretly bandaged the weasel's wounds in the room and gave half of the meat he ate to the weasel.

He felt bored and couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he talked to the weasel, and talked to himself all night, I don't know if the weasel understood, but Lei Sheng confided in it and felt very happy.

Later, Lei Sheng took this weasel to play whenever he had time, and people looked at him and said he was stupid.

After a month, Lei Sheng took the weasel back to the place where they met, and he was very happy to see that the weasel was able to walk on the ground.

Knowing that the weasel belonged to nature and would eventually let it go, although he was very reluctant, he made a gesture to let it go.

The weasel is gone, and Lei Sheng's heart is empty, as if he has lost his treasure.

One night, the moonlight was bright, Lei Sheng was depressed, and he sat alone in the courtyard.

Just as he was looking up at the starry sky and thinking about it, he suddenly heard a tile fall from the wall.

He looked back and saw that it was a weasel, and the weasel was standing, holding a bag full of things, looking at him.

Lei Sheng walked over only to find that it was the weasel he had saved some time ago.

Lei Sheng was excited and lowered his voice again and said, "You're here, I thought I'll never see you again."

I saw that the weasel looked at him with very kind eyes, nodded, put down the bag of things, and walked reluctantly.

Lei Sheng felt very happy that he would meet such a humane animal, he walked over and picked up the bag, and when he opened it, he found that it was all shell coin jewelry, glittering in the moonlight.

Lei Sheng took the shell coins and jewels to build a new house in the village, opened a tavern in the town, and the business flourished, from a man with nothing, suddenly became a rich man in the village.

Later, the tavern recruited the shopkeeper, who had a sister who was ten years younger than him.

The girl worked diligently and knew a lot of things, and sometimes Lei Sheng couldn't settle accounts, and others were abducted and deceived, so she helped him manage the accounts.

The girl saw that he was a down-to-earth person, and she had already had a few thoughts, and the two gradually became familiar with each other, and finally came together.

Parents were relieved to see that their son could have today, and no one dared to laugh at Lei Sheng for being a bachelor.
