"Brother Chun! Brother Chun! ”

A tiger-headed boy with a snot in his nose came running from afar, carrying a bamboo basket in one hand and a simple insect trap made of a long pole and a spider web in the other. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother Chun, I caught a lot of cicadas according to what you said." The boy quickly ran to Zhou Chun and sat down, and handed the bamboo basket to him as if offering a treasure, "Hurry up and make me something to eat!" ”

"Good!" His stunned eyes did not fluctuate, Zhou Chun nodded, and took the bamboo basket with one hand.

He slowly got up and stepped back, holding in his hand a couple of hemp ropes, the other end of which was submerged into the water and connected to the stakes planted on the other side of the river.

As he retreated, the hemp rope that had been submerged in the water gradually straightened and began to approach the water's surface, and from time to time water splashed in the aquatic grass on the other side of the river.

Wow –

The splash of water splashes, revealing the fish basket hidden under the aquatic weeds, each hemp rope is to be connected from end to end, into a rope loop, the fish basket is tied to the rope loop, and the rope loop is then set on the wooden stake, as long as the hemp rope is pulled on the shore, the fish basket will gradually climb ashore along the hemp rope.

"Is he really an idiot?" Seeing Zhou Chun doing this extremely skillfully, Yan Niang was a little incredulous, and exclaimed, a six-year-old doll knew how to do this, and it would not be an exaggeration to praise a prodigy!

"This is also a strange thing, I heard that this child has never cried since he was born, as long as he is told to do ordinary things, he will handle it properly, and the Taoist chief who passed by said that it is 'God bestows his wisdom, knows everything by himself, is riddled with unjust karma, Huo Xin's mind is chaotic, and he must be able to break through the obstacles with great joy and sorrow, so as to find a glimmer of hope and wisdom'."

At this time, people have to work hard every day, and if they have little fun, and if they have occasional conversations, they will be able to kill some leisure, and the older women remember it very clearly.

God treated him so **** I don't know how many times he sighed today, looking at this small body, Yan Niang felt resentful, "He is still young, how can he do this?" What about her father? ”

"It's really no wonder that his father is doing this!" Aunt Zhang shook her head, and in Yan Niang's inquiring gaze, she said slowly, "Over the years, Zhou Wu has been hunting in the mountains day and night, selling mountain treasures and furs in the market, saving money to see a doctor for his wife, praying for children, and inviting many famous doctors and Taoists, but they are all in vain, not to mention wasting money in vain, and completely destroying the already sick body." ”

"In this way, Uncle Wu is really a great husband of Qi!" After listening to Aunt Zhang's words, Yan Niang was a little admired, and even used honorific titles to speak, and then worried, "Then how is his family now?" ”

"Zhou Wu is now sick in bed, and I heard that he can't even get off the ground, I'm afraid it's ...... Alas! Aunt Zhang sighed, shook her head, and didn't say any more, obviously the situation was not optimistic.

Yan Niang listened, and didn't look at Zhou Chun's figure again, and buried herself in hard work. Now most people are living without a meal, and they can't take care of their own family, let alone his family.

At this time, Zhou Chun has pulled the fish basket ashore, today is lucky, a fat river fish is jumping in the fish basket, the energy is extraordinary, Zhou Qing who can see the side is drooling, although Zhou Chun, who has been expressionless, is still that dumb look, but if you look closely, it seems to be a little more happy.

With the harvested river fish, Zhou Chun led Zhou Qing to the mountains to pinch a few handfuls of wild onions, and then went home.

Zhou Qing's house is an ordinary mud and straw house, but the courtyard is extremely clean, since Zhou Wu was sick, it has been Zhou Qing himself cleaned, his mother loves to be tidy.

went straight to the kitchen, saying that it was the kitchen, but there was not even a pot, not even a table, just pushed a lot of firewood, and set up a pot in the middle.

Zhou Chun took out a stone knife from the house, while Zhou Qing stayed in the house and began to light a fire.

Use a polished stone knife to open the intestines and disembowel the river fish, remove the internal organs, scrape off the fish scales, and wash them with well water, Zhou Chun did it in an orderly manner.

Back in the kitchen, a fire had already been lit under the dingcan, and Zhou Qing's face was covered with firewood ash, and he was still there with silly music.

Put the cut river fish into a clean pot, add water, wait for it to cook quietly, and pour in the leftovers of the morning to boil a pot of porridge. During this period, Zhou Chun also took out some firewood and covered it on the cicadas that Zhou Qing caught.

Zhou Chun demonstrated to Zhou Qing how to eat cicadas again, and then brought out the fish porridge.

The bedrooms were very close to each other, just a few steps away, and when I opened the door, a choking stench came to my face, which made people sick to their stomachs.

Zhou Chun looked at the young woman sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed in white-washed satin, motionless.

After handing over the boiled fish porridge, the woman came to her senses and looked at him.

"My son is back!"

Nodding, Zhou Chun didn't speak, she said straight to herself, "Your father hasn't eaten for three days!" Why not give it to your father first? ”

Zhou Chun shook his head and handed the bowl again.

"Oh!" As if remembering something, the woman took the bowl, "I forgot, he can't eat anymore!" ”

As she spoke, she looked at the bed, where her husband was lying on the bed, with an old, motionless face, his lips pale and not breathing.

"Your father is a rough man, he doesn't know poetry and books, and he doesn't know how to count etiquette, but he is still very good to me!" The woman recalled, then sighed and closed her eyes in some pain, "I hurt him!" ”

The woman's eyes moistened, and she swallowed the fish porridge in the bowl in one gulp, no longer paying attention to it, which was a faux pas that she would not have done even when she was delirious, and she had done it today.

"My son is good at crafting, and this farmer's son should be diligent!" She smiled slightly, wiped away her tears, and taught for the first time, "Life is worthy of your heart!" My son is a smart man, smarter than most people, you know ordinary things, you understand ordinary reason, I can't teach you other ......"

As she spoke, she reached out and stroked Zhou Chun's cheek, her face full of love, "I don't know what you're afraid of?" I wonder why you don't want to speak? But I hope you listen to the old body, and you are worthy of your heart! ”

"Is the mother worthy of the father?"

The first time he finished speaking, he stumbled a little, and his face showed a look of confusion.

"Worthy of it!" The woman was not surprised by Zhou Chun's words, nodded, and whispered, "Your father saved my life, I have given birth to you for him, and extended his Zhou family incense, although I am grateful to him, I don't love him, his love for me, I can't reply!" ”

"The only thing I'm ashamed of is you!" The woman's face was a little ruddy, as if the bowl of fish porridge had taken effect.

Six years later, a new grave was added to the side of the old grave, and Zhou Chun, who was already half an adult, knelt on the grave, his eyes were clear, and his upper body was straight.

"My father has the grace to raise me, and my mother has the grace to give birth to me, although I don't know who I am, but you are worthy of being my parents, and I am also honored to be your son."

……

Early morning.

"Brother man, brother man, wake up, wake up!"

A young body pressed against his body, and Huang Xiaoxie slowly opened his eyes.

"It's a little gray ash!"

"Big brother, you're in tears, are you having a nightmare?"

"No, it's a dream!"

"Huh?"
