In the quiet of the night, the whole small village fell asleep, but Chunmei did not sleep, looking at the sleeping daughter with tears on her cheeks, her heart was crushed by Coptis chinensis.

Peng Cheng and Bai Xue came back yesterday, the children asked, what can they say, they can only comfort them and say that your father is coming back soon, the eldest son lost his temper and complained about it, and quarreled with Xiaojun, and dropped the thermos again, Xiaojun cried and went back to his parents' house.

She didn't say a word, she didn't say anything, she couldn't take care of them anymore, she didn't worry about her husband's affairs alone, how many days had it been, two hundred and twenty-two days, she remembered it clearly, and counted with her fingers all day long, how did she survive! She felt that the days were too slow, and the days were like years.

Wang An came back, she secretly went to see him at night, he was crippled, lying motionless on the kang, Dong Yun just cried when he saw her coming, the children were dissatisfied with her, they all looked at her coldly, his little girl still gouged her with her eyes, what else could she say, the family was pitiful enough.

Wang An didn't speak in a sentence, he said intermittently: "I complain about my uncle, if I have to say that I don't have his share, I say no, Jia Ping holds the accounts of the first two years, can he not say it, Uncle Fei said that if he says that he has his share, he will be guilty, what is the procuratorate, can you do it if you don't tell the truth, I will beat you to death." In the end, this trip, I have to admit that I don't have my uncle's share, and I will be tortured......"

Chunmei persuaded her with good words and comforted the family, she hurriedly said goodbye, people have suffered so much, what can they complain about. He's like this, and his husband is no better, his temper is no wonder if he doesn't suffer, and he's thankful that he can save his life.

For this reason, she shed a night of tears, several times I can't think about it, I don't have a head when I think about it, nothing has gone well in the family in the past few years, since the eldest son looked for a daughter-in-law, the family has not stopped, when will this bad luck come to an end.

Alas, the children came back and could only swallow tears into their stomachs. This old thing, what's going on, Chunmei was thinking about it, she heard the door ringing, she got up and listened carefully, there was no movement, and I thought I heard it wrong, how could anyone come in the middle of the night, just lay down, and heard the sound of smashing the wall. She is busy, as long as she smashes the wall, she is a member of the family, maybe her husband is back?

She hurriedly put on her clothes and hurriedly went to open the door. "Who?" Chunmei asked in a low voice.

"Mother, it's me," Pengxiang said.

The door opened, and Chunmei welcomed her son in, "Why are you here at this time?" ”

"It's late, I didn't catch the car, I'll walk back."

"Such a heavy snowfall, you kid, I don't know how to find a hotel to stay, come back tomorrow, don't be afraid, you haven't eaten yet, I'll cook for you," said Chunmei, who was about to poke open the sealed stove.

"I'm not hungry, I bought buns in the county seat to eat, just drink some water, when did my brother and sister come back?" Peng Xiang asked.

"Yesterday, I came back to the dark," Chunmei said, pouring water for her son.

Seeing that his sister was asleep, Peng Xiang and his mother talked about going to see their father.

The news that her son brought back made Chunmei feel a little brighter, whether it was good news or bad news, she finally had news, and she was somewhat relieved, and she heard her son say that she also bought cotton clothes, cotton pants and cotton shoes for his father, Chunmei smiled, such a cold day, she was worried, and he was given a thin cotton coat at that time, who would have thought that he would stay until now.

The house was cold, Chunmei laid a quilt for her son, the mother and mother lay down to talk, Pengxiang analyzed the father's affairs for the mother, enlightened the mother, "How the days change, how to live, this is not a shameful thing, complain about our family's bad luck, complain that my father is too careless, he should bear the crime, no one can replace him, even if the sentence is half a year, it will soon pass, and it will be a good ......family after coming back."

Listening to her son's enlightenment, Chunmei felt free and comfortable.

When Pengxiang woke up, it was already noon, Bai Xue and Peng Cheng were there, seeing that he was awake, Bai Xue said to him: "You just talked in a dream, and you kept shouting Wang Jie." ”

Peng Cheng also laughed at him, "You can't forget her." ”

Peng Xiang smiled and got up. After the family finished eating, they talked about their father again when they were idle.

At this time, Fugui came, and he still carried this rabbit in his hand, saying that he was in a trap, just dead, and had body temperature. Pengxiang was very happy to see Fugui, he called Uncle Fugui and got up to give up his seat.

Fugui looked very excited when he saw him, rubbing his big red hands, not knowing what to say, and not knowing where to sit down. Let him into the chair, Peng Cheng turned out a cigarette and gave it to him, he continued, trembling with his big hand lit it, Chunmei asked Peng Xiang to make tea, and said, "This year's crops are due to your Uncle Fugui, the wheat is planted by him, the firewood is also pulled by him, and the money to buy fertilizer seeds is also cushioned by him," said Chunmei, and went to get the money.

Fugui said: "What's the hurry, I don't need it." ”

Chunmei still brought the money to him, but Fugui said that he didn't want anything, saying that he bought more than 5,000 cotton alone this year, and I couldn't spend it alone. Pengxiang called his sister out and took money out of his pocket and asked her to buy two good cigarettes.

Bai Xue bought cigarettes, and Peng Xiang said to him: "Uncle Fugui, this is bought for you with my scholarship, I honor you, you must accept it." ”

"I'll take it, I'll take it," Fugui said excitedly.

Speaking of Jia Ping, Chunmei said: "Your Uncle Fugui has a lot of trouble with him, the three brothers of Jia Ping came to the door to beat your Uncle Fugui, and they were beaten by Zhihao and a few of them, if it weren't for his father and mother kneeling on your Uncle Fugui, your Uncle Fugui would have made their whole family have no harvest." ”

"Now, their whole family is afraid of me, and when they see me from afar, they will avoid me, and take a detour, if it weren't for the uncle over there who will not let me, for fear of making trouble for the second uncle, I won't let them have a good time for a day, and when the second uncle comes back, I will settle accounts with them, it's not a personal thing, he can't catch up with a dog, and the dog throws a piece of dry food to it and wagging its tail. That time when I beat him, I nodded his head and scolded him, I said that you are not even as good as a dog, feed you, and bite in turn. Is your mother's Wangjiaqiao Village more than you receiving more benefits from your second uncle, how did you build that prisoner? There is no one in your generation, just his grandfather, is a second-rate, the poor in the family have eaten the last meal and the next meal, the cold day, the family covers the cloth, and his grandfather helps him from time to time when people send wine, Jia Ping and his father almost died of encephalitis, it is the grandfather who sent alcohol to take the money to catch the medicine, during the Cultural Revolution, his grandfather also cleaned the family, kicked people off the bench with one foot, and his grandfather died on the wine, and his grandfather hated it until he died. Do you tell me he has a good thing in his house? Fugui gritted his teeth with hatred as he spoke.

"I didn't think he was a good thing, who didn't bother him on the team, didn't work on the construction site, and pointed at him, saying this and scolding that, if it weren't for me, the team would have dispersed a long time ago, and whoever still followed him, my father treated him as a good person, and he was bitten," Peng Cheng said angrily......

In the evening, the four mothers went to Wang Shu's house. As he was talking, Zhihao hurriedly came in and said that Pengxiang had a classmate, and I met you at the entrance of the village and asked you, so I brought her here......
