The summer cicadas are singing and the flowers are near, and the flowing water fence is people's homes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In Lijia Village, the villagers have relied on hard work and hard work, and after years of hard work, they have created a paradise of their own.

The night was getting deeper, and by the moonlight, Li Dahan walked into his yard with tired steps, and then sat on the stone bench in the yard, panting gently, the sweat on his body had dried on the way back, and his heavy eyelids closed his eyes, wanting to end the day's work. But Li Dahan didn't allow it, he shook his head, rubbed his temples with both hands, and tried to sober himself up, there was still a job to move goods later, and now was not the time to rest.

When Li Dahan closed his eyes and adjusted his state, the door of the house was slowly pushed open, and an aunt walked out of the house, she was Li Dahan's daughter-in-law, Aunt Li.

Aunt Li held a kettle in one hand and an iron cup in the other, looking at Li Dahan who was sitting on the stone bench, very distressed, now Dahan has to do three jobs a day, two during the day and one at night, she is really afraid that Li Dahan will not be able to hold on.

"Here, drink some water." Aunt Li poured a glass of water and handed it to Li Dahan.

Li Dahan opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, took the water cup, gurgled, and poured it down in one go.

"Da Han, or push off the night's work. If this continues, I'm really afraid that your body won't be able to hold on. Aunt Li said worriedly.

Li Dahan shook his head, sighed with a sigh of relief, and said: "No, I sold the fields in order to open a commissary and borrowed a lot of money from the villagers, and the medicine for my mother's lung disease costs a lot every month." Seeing that the second girl is about to go to high school, the tuition fee has not yet been seen. Xiao Han wants to go to Master Guan to learn the craft, and he has to prepare an apprenticeship ceremony. The commissary is closed, and I have to work a few more jobs, otherwise this day will be over. ”

"But ・・・・・・"

"Don't say it," Li Dahan waved his hand and said, "Prepare some white-flour steamed buns for me, I'm almost going out." ”

Aunt Li sighed, she also did a job during the day, Aunt Li wanted to do more to reduce the burden of men, but she had to take care of the old mother at home, and take care of the family's affairs, one job was already the limit. She is very worried about her man, but in the face of life, Aunt Li can't refute it.

Originally, the Dahan family opened a small store in front of Renyi Middle School to do some small business, and their life was easy and comfortable, but under the order of the hateful school, their good life was like a passing cloud and no longer existed.

"It's all to blame for that hateful Luo Da Gen・・・・・・" Aunt Li gritted her teeth.

"We tried our best, and if we continue to make trouble, we will make trouble on the side of the government, and we little villagers can't fight it. Don't ink, I'm on the road, Erniu is still waiting for me, go get steamed buns. Li Dahan urged.

Aunt Li nodded, and quickly went into the house to wrap five steamed buns and some pickles in a white cloth and give them to Li Dahan.

Li Dahan took the cloth wrap, took out a white-flour steamed bun and dried it in his mouth, and ate it, not knowing what to say in his mouth, he waved one hand to signal Aunt Li to enter the house to rest, and then walked out of the yard in the direction of the construction site.

At night, the place where he works is far away, he has to leave early to avoid being late and deducting his wages.

Aunt Li looked at the back of Li Dahan leaving, until she disappeared on the extended road, Aunt Li sighed, turned around and entered the house, the old light bulb in the house was a little unstable, flickering on and off, and the moths that put out the fire often flew around the bulb, leaving a distorted shadow on the ground. The children and the old people were asleep, and Aunt Li sat on the shaking wooden stool and began to sew up the torn clothes on the table. Maybe she was too tired, and after sewing a pair of pants, Aunt Li put one hand on the table, supported her cheek with the other, and fell asleep deeply.

The night was quiet tonight, and the old hen in the coop squatted on her eggs and fell asleep, and the breeze blew, and the old leaves of the trees fell lonely in the air like abandoned birds, and finally fell under the intertwined hedges. Whose dog strayed into someone's yard and caused a noise?

Aunt Li was startled by the panicked shouts.

"Aunt Li, come out quickly・・・・・・"

"Oh no・・・・・"

Aunt Li pushed open the gate, the yard was crowded with familiar villagers, Aunt Li looked at their panicked appearance, and had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Aunt Li was dizzy and uneasy.

"Aunt Li, Dahan is ・・・・・・" The speaker was Li Erniu next door, he was very emotional, with tears in his eyes, and he said hesitantly, but Aunt Li couldn't hear it clearly.

Li Erniu dragged Aunt Li's hand into the middle of the crowd, and in the center of the crowd was a wooden frame, on which lay a corpse, covered with a blood-stained white cloth.

At this time, Aunt Li's uneasiness turned into infinite fear. She grabbed Li Erniu's hand hard, stared at Li Erniu deadly, and said in a trembling voice: "Erniu, what are you taking me to see these for." ”

"Aunt Li, Dahan him, he ・・・・・・ Dahan and he went." Li Erniu said with a crying voice.

"What!" Aunt Li was dizzy for a while, but finally stood firm, she squatted down to remove the blood-stained white cloth, and the last line of defense in her heart completely collapsed!

The corpse under the white cloth was Li Dahan.

Aunt Li cried sadly.

"Da Han, he was so tired, he accidentally fell from the eighth floor while working・・・・・・"

Aunt Li couldn't hear the words around her clearly, and her eyes were already overflowing with tears, blurring her vision. The old man and the child in the house were awakened by the noise in the courtyard and saw the corpse of Xue Linlin, and at that moment, it was as if the whole world had collapsed. The second girl, Xiao Han ran over, hugged Aunt Li and cried bitterly.

The old mother saw her son's bloodstained corpse, breathing rapidly and speaking incoherently. The old man walked into Li Dahan tremblingly, his aging hand touched Dahan's cold cheek, and shouted: "No! Son! ”

The old man was emotional, his tears were in two lines, his heart was beating faster, his blood was rushing, and he suddenly lost his breath and fell on Li Dahan.

"Mother・・・・・・

"Grandma'・・・・・"

"Auntie・・・・・・"

The villagers immediately hugged the old man away, sniffed, and his breath was cut off. The villagers sighed and said, "The eldest lady has gone." ”

The second girl and Xiao Han hugged each other and cried, and the aunt next door hugged the two sisters into a bad mood.

Aunt Li grabbed the old mother with one hand and Li Dahan with the other, crying so much that she almost fainted.

This night is probably the longest night for Li Dahan's family.

How I hope that when I wake up tomorrow, I can be as usual, my mother is in the kitchen and I have breakfast, grandma and dad are sitting at the table, eating white porridge, eating white flour steamed buns, laughing and scolding us who have just woken up: "Cubs, don't come and eat breakfast, the sun is drying your buttocks・・・・・・"

Heartbroken cries filled the courtyard, and the villagers on the sidelines were silent.

In the sky, the huge full moon is as serene as a mirror, calm and terrifying・・・・・・
