Going down the path from the bridge of National Highway 107, the outline of our village is close in front of me, I stopped at this time and sighed, Xiaoyan and Qiang Shun stopped with me, Qiang Shun asked me, "Yellow River, why don't you leave when you are almost home, sigh?" ”

I glanced at him, ignored him, turned my head and asked Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan, are you going to come with me this time, do you plan to stay, or do you want to go back after a look?" ”

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, her eyes staring at me, as if she didn't know how to answer my question.

Qiang Shun interjected on the side: "Of course she stayed, Xiaoyan has no relatives now, and her own mother doesn't want her, where do you tell her to go back?" ”

Xiao Yan glanced at Qiang Shun gratefully and nodded at me.

I sighed again and said to Xiaoyan: "Brother is very happy that you want to stay, but there is one thing I have to make clear to you." ”

Xiao Yan nodded again.

I bit my lip and made up my mind to say, "I have a younger brother who is, a madman......"

My brother is now a hidden pain in our family, my brother is crazy, and he has been hiding it from many people, many people in the village think that my brother is in college in Zhengzhou, and they don't know that my brother is crazy, so he is locked up at home.

I briefly told Xiaoyan about my brother, of course, I didn't mention Huihui, because I was afraid that I would mention two sad things at once, and I couldn't bear to cry.

I told Xiaoyan that my younger brother learned feng shui fortune-telling from a blind man in Xicun since he was a child, and then leaked the secret of heaven and went crazy, his name is Huangshan, one year older than you, when he gets home, I am your eldest brother, he is your second brother, if you can accept Huangshan's brother, you will live, there is still a place at home, if you can't accept it, you can go home to see it.

Xiao Yan's eyes looked at me, stared at me for a long time, and finally said to me, brother, you underestimate me too much......

I nodded bitterly, with Xiaoyan's words, my heart was completely put into my stomach. Afterwards, the three of them happily entered the village.

We first came to the door of Qiang Shun's house, and Qiang Shun said happily to Xiao Yan: "Xiao Yan, this is our house, and your brother's family is a neighbor, and I will go to see you after I leave my luggage at home." ”

Xiao Yan nodded, I took Xiao Yan to my house, and when I came to the door, I saw that the courtyard door of the house was open, and I walked to the door and took a look inside, everything in the house was still the same, but the leaves on the plane tree were almost gone.

I pointed to home and said to Xiaoyan: "This is our family, it is estimated that our grandmother and our mother are at home at this time." As I spoke, I grabbed Xiaoyan's hand, "Let's go, go in and see our grandma and our mother, this will also be your home in the future, our parents have actually wanted a girl for a long time, and they will definitely treat you like a daughter in the future." ”

After entering the courtyard gate, while pulling Xiaoyan into the house, I shouted, "Mom, I'm back." ”

No one answered, I was stunned for a moment, and shouted again: "Grandma, I'm back!" ”

Still no one answered, I hurriedly shouted twice, still no one answered, my heart suddenly sank, I felt that the atmosphere was wrong, I thought, nothing will happen at home, right?

Let go of Xiaoyan and walk quickly into the east house where my parents live, there was no one in the house, hurriedly greeted Xiaoyan, came to the hall again, opened the hall door, and before I could step inside, I saw my grandmother sitting on the chair in the middle hall, with a sad face, and my mother was sitting on the chair next to my grandmother, with her head down and wiping her tears.

I was stunned, what's wrong, is something really wrong?

Walking briskly into the house, I first glanced at my grandmother and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong?" ”

Grandma slowly raised her head, looked at me, and said, "You're back." ”

I went to see my mother again and said anxiously, "Mom, why are you crying, what's going on at home?" ”

My mother glanced at me, and immediately stood up from the chair in tears, "Huang He, you, your brother ran away last night, ......"

What? My mother's words were like a bolt from the blue. Huangshan ran away? He's crazy, he's alone, he's ......

My eyes suddenly turned red, I endured the discomfort, and asked in a trembling voice: "Mom, where did Huangshan and Huangshan run?" ”

My mother continued to cry, and my grandmother sighed lightly at this time and said, "Your father went out to look for him early in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

"I'm going to find him too!" Throwing down the luggage in my hand, I turned around, I wanted to rush out of the door, but I saw Xiao Yan standing silently at the door, wiped his face, turned around, and endured grief and said to my mother: "Mom, don't be sad, Huangshan ran away, I, I will bring you a girl......" After speaking, I couldn't help but burst into tears, wiped my tears, and I said to Xiaoyan again: "Xiaoyan, go and kowtow to our grandma and our mother." ”

Xiaoyan glanced at me, quickly put down the bag in her hand, and went over to kowtow to my grandmother and mother.

I don't know what kind of mood my grandmother and my mother felt when they saw Xiaoyan, but both of them could barely stop their grief.

Qiang Shun pushed the door in at this time, looked at my grandmother and then at my mother, and finally his eyes fell on me, and said: "Huang He, you are so excited to bring a sister, the whole family is crying." ”

I hurriedly pulled him out, pulled him out of the door, and whispered to him: "Huangshan has run away......"

"What?" Qiang Shun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said anxiously: "Then let's not go find it quickly!" ”

The two of them went out in a panic, outside the village, aimlessly found the dark.

When it got completely dark, I went back to the house, and my dad came back at this time, and the family was relatively speechless and miserable.

Because Xiaoyan was there, my mother reluctantly got up and made a dinner, but no one in the whole family was in the mood to eat, think about it, my brother needs to be fed when he eats now, such a cold day, such a dark night, where will he be, will he be hungry, is there a kind person to feed him?

Writing here, my heart hurts so much, and I am in tears, scratching my intestines, it's all my bad as a brother, I feel ashamed, I should die, I shouldn't live! Why is God so unfair to my brother, so unfair to our family, the sky has no eyes!!

After barely having dinner, I pulled Xiaoyan into the yard and said to her, "Xiaoyan, I'm sorry, I just came to the house and let you encounter this kind of thing......

Xiao Yan shook her head, "Brother, don't say that, looking at you, no, I feel bad when I see the people in our family sad." I could tell from the look in her eyes that she was telling the truth, and I couldn't help but hold her in my arms and shed tears again.

God, when you sent me a younger sister, you made me lose a younger brother, from the ancestor down, the family began to pass on to my generation, haven't you been able to get rid of this fate?

Younger sister. Back then, my grandfather saved a sister for himself in the hands of Xiangma, and later in the mountains, I brought a sister to my grandfather, and later, my grandmother recognized a sister for my father in Xicun, and I ......

Could it be that this is also the fate of the family? If it is really the fate of the family, then I may be the worst generation, not only did I not get rid of the fate of the family, but I also paid the price of gaining and losing!

That night, my mother cleaned up a room for Xiaoyan in the hall, and Xiaoyan moved in, and since then, Han Xiaoyan has become a member of our family.

The next day, I went out with my father to look for my brother, and for several days, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there was no news.

A few days later, I went to our local police station to report the case, and the people at the police station said that they could only be included in the missing persons, archived and recorded, and we would be notified if there was news, but there was no news so far.

Two months later, on the way to find my brother, my dad was sick, my dad has not been sick since I can remember, he has not taken a pill for decades, this time, he almost died on the way to find his brother, saying that he was distressed, lying on the ground and dying, and then went to the hospital for a check-up, it was angina.

At this time, the sky is already cold, and our hearts are also cold, we can't find it, it's been a few months, and we really can't find it, even if we don't starve to death, we can freeze him to death on such a cold day......

The cold wind was cold, the snow was falling, and seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, the day of family reunion was coming, I took the initiative to give up looking for my younger brother and went home with my sick father.

This year, I don't know how everyone in our family came over, but fortunately, there is more Xiaoyan in the family, and there is a rational sister, she silently helps me, helps me take care of my parents and grandmother.

My younger brother is gone, and Xiaoyan has invisibly made up for some of the shortcomings in my parents' hearts.

Pain, there will always be a day when the scab will form, and as time goes by, as long as you don't reveal these scars, on the surface, it won't be so painful.

In a blink of an eye, the year has passed, winter is gone, and spring is coming. Brother, although I don't know whether we are dead or alive, but we are still alive, people, as long as we are alive, the road, we have to continue to move forward.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, I regained my strength, I swore that I would earn more money, give my grandmother and parents the best old age, and do my filial piety to two sons with my ability as a son!

Originally, I planned to go to the contractor of our village again and talk to him about continuing to work, but who would have thought that on the afternoon of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the contractor came to me by himself, and there was an "acquaintance" by his side.

This "acquaintance" was none other than the middle-aged man who had come to my house this time, and he told me that one of his wife's nieces had an evil disease.

At that time, my grandmother was also present, so I asked the middle-aged man what kind of evil disease he had, and the contractor may have introduced my grandmother to the middle-aged man before he came, and the middle-aged man was very respectful to my grandmother, and politely told me the ins and outs.

After listening to it next to me, I secretly shook my head in my heart, it was really "the shortest hand that takes other people's hands and eats the shortest of others", the pair of silver bracelets of the middle-aged wife's wife is really not easy to take......
