Soon, the ox cart slowly pulled us to the entrance of a small village with many willow trees planted in front of the door.

On a tree in front of the entrance of the village, a small dim street lamp hangs.

The street lights were dim, and looking at the style, I guess I hadn't even swam into my mother's womb when it was born.

Under the street lamp, there is a wooden sign hanging, and the sign is crookedly engraved with two words: Liucun ......

"Here we are." The old man said to me.

I nodded, and saw the old man skillfully pull the ox cart in, and in a few moments I heard a slight dog barking from the village.

"It's like this in the village here, and at eight or nine o'clock, they basically go to sleep." Old Zhang Tou said to me.

I nodded in understanding, indeed, in the poorer mountain villages, it is not like in our side where the lights are bright at night.

Compared with the irritable city, Liucun is obviously more peaceful.

Lao Zhangtou continued to me: "I know an old friend in this village, Xiaorui and I will sleep there tonight, do you want to go with us too?" ”

"Oh. Do you know anyone from here? ”

"Hehe, that's one of the people I know."

"Okay, take me one tonight, by the way, Uncle Zhang, do you know that there are people called butchers and drunkards in this village?"

"Butcher drunkard?"

Lao Zhangtou thought for a while, shook his head and said he didn't know.

Well, I'll have to hold back my curiosity for the time being, spend the night here, and wait until tomorrow dawn to ask about it.

Lao Zhangtou continued to walk towards the village in an ox cart, and after a while, we came to a thatched hut that was obviously much dilapidated.

As he got out of the ox cart, he told me that the owner of this thatched hut was an old bachelor, whom he had met in the town when he was young, and that he had come a few times a long time ago, and that he had rarely come since the birth of his grandson in those years.

Old Zhang Tou walked to the thatched hut and knocked on the door a few times.

After a while, I heard voices coming from the thatched hut.

"Who?"

"Old man, it's me, your brother Zhang!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, there was a creak, and the door of the thatched hut was opened.

An old man with white hair, who looked about the same age as Lao Zhangtou, appeared in the door.

"Brother Zhang, is it really you?"

The old man exclaimed, and then scolded with a smile: "It's been a few years, I thought I might not see you even if I was about to enter the ground!" Come on in, it's so late, why are you here for me. ”

The old man was also very enthusiastic, and quickly welcomed a few of us in.

The old man lit an oil lamp in the room, which gave me some more light in front of me.

"This is your grandson, right? It's so old, is this your son? How do you feel smaller? ”

My old face is red, uncle, master, I am less than nineteen years old this year, you actually say that I am the son of Lao Zhangtou, tease me?

The old Zhang Tou on the side hurriedly explained, saying that I am not his son, and the little Zhang Rui on the side is his grandson......

"Hey, they've grown so big, it's been eight or nine years, when you said that your grandson was born and you didn't have time to come, but I didn't expect to see you again tonight......"

"Hey, old man, I can't help it."

The two old guys who have known each other for many years have a feeling of sympathy for each other, and I am also a little itchy to watch it from the sidelines.

Uncle, in this life, you don't need many friends, one or two confidants are enough!

"Xiaorui, call the second grandfather." Old Zhang Tou shouted.

Xiao Zhang Rui nodded his head obediently and shouted to the second grandfather, and suddenly the old man smiled.

"Old man, I didn't want to trouble you tonight, but I just picked up a job in the town and sent this young man to your village, so I just came to your place to rest for one night and go back to town tomorrow morning."

"What's the matter, what's the trouble with you coming to me? I would like to stay for a few days and I am welcome! ”

"Haha, you're still an old man, you're ...... enough"

After a pleasantry between the two old guys, they quickly arranged their accommodation for tonight.

The two of them quickly put together a makeshift wooden bed, saying that it was for me to sleep alone.

I glanced at their other very small wooden bed, and took the initiative to ask Xiao Zhang Rui to come with me, so that they didn't have to squeeze three people together.

I couldn't resist me, and the two old guys had to agree to me.

I put my backpack away, took out the last leftover food from it, and a few people made do with boiled water.

After eating, I looked at my mobile phone and it was almost ten o'clock, after a day of rushing, sleepiness suddenly came up, and I immediately fell asleep with Xiao Zhang Rui......

When I was asleep, I heard Xiao Zhang Rui next to me babbling a few words in my dreams in the middle of the night.

"Dad, Xiao Rui misses you."

"Mom, where have you been......"

I was drowsy, and while I heard Xiao Zhang Rui's babbling dreams, it seemed that there was a sparse sound of wind outside the house.

The wind was a little murky, but soon I fell asleep again.

…………

By the time I opened my eyes again, it was already light!

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the face of Xiao Zhang Rui appear in front of me.

Early in the morning, Xiao Zhang Rui, a little kid, was lying on the bed, concentrating on writing.

"The little kid woke up so early?" I say.

"School starts today, and I haven't finished my homework yet." Xiao Zhang Rui grimaced at me, and then wrote on the yellowed homework book with a serious stroke.

I glanced at it, and the homework book was already full of dense words, and I could see that this little Zhang Rui was still a primary school bully......

"The lad is awake? Xiaorui, did you wake up your big brother? At this time, Lao Zhangtou walked in with a big bowl of steaming porridge.

"No, I woke up on my own." I say.

I looked at the time, it was only six o'clock, and it was already so bright in the mountain village.

I stretched, took my toothpaste and toothbrush out of my backpack and went outside to brush my teeth and wash my face......

When I came in again, Lao Zhangtou and his old buddy, as well as Xiao Zhang Rui, were already sitting at the discolored dinner table waiting for me.

"Little brother, there's nothing to entertain you here, just drink some porridge in the morning." The white-haired old man grinned at me.

I waved my hand and said, "It's okay, it's good for your body to drink porridge in the morning." ”

The breakfast in this mountain village is also very simple, a pot of light white porridge, and a few steamed sweet potatoes are placed on it, a mouthful of sweet potatoes and a mouthful of white porridge, although this breakfast is light, but it is also a relish.

After breakfast, Lao Zhangtou pulled Xiao Zhang Rui and told me that he was going back to town.

Seeing this, I hurriedly took out the money from my backpack, no matter how Lao Zhangtou objected, I just stuffed several more Grandpa Mao to him.

"I didn't bring much with me when I came out this time, I'll get you some next time." I say.

"Enough, it's enough, it's just twice the fare, what you give, it's enough for me to run a few more times......" Lao Zhangtou held the money and looked at me with a touched face.

I waved my hand and said that money is just a trivial matter, as long as Xiao Zhang Rui can study hard.

"Xiaorui, say thank you to my brother." Old Zhang Tou said.

Xiao Zhang Rui's dark eyes rolled, stuck out his tongue at me, and said, "Thank you, uncle." ”

I couldn't help laughing out loud, this kid is just fun, let you call brother, you prefer to call uncle.

"By the way, Uncle Zhang, what do you call this guy?" I asked.

"It's okay to call me Lao Liutou, haha."

"Then I don't dare, I always have to respect the old and love the young, Uncle Liu, I may have to live here for a while, this is my last money, just as paying you rent and food, do you think it's okay?" I said to Uncle Liu, the owner of the house.

After Uncle Liu and Lao Zhangtou glanced at each other, he shook his head again and again and said: "It's just a broken thatched house, what kind of rent do you want, Lao Zhangtou is my old buddy, you can live here as long as you want, I don't have anything to greet you here, don't dislike it......"

I have to say that the old people in this mountain village are simple, unlike some old people in the city, who will touch porcelain if they don't agree with each other, and won't let you pay 180,000 yuan to finish the matter.

But since I am here, it is impossible to take advantage of others, under my persuasion, Uncle Liu reluctantly took the money, saying that he would go to the town with Lao Zhangtou and them later, and it would be used as money to buy me some daily necessities and food......

Soon, Uncle Liu and Lao Zhangtou led their old cattle and donkeys and slowly walked towards the entrance of the village.

And at this time, a childish child's voice sounded.

"Uncle, can I see you again?"

I looked up and saw that little Zhang Rui was sitting on an ox cart and shouting to me.

A smile tugged at the corner of my mouth and said, "Of course you can, but you have to call me brother." ”

When my voice fell, I saw Xiao Zhang Rui make a grimace at me, and then shouted at me with some reluctance: "Brother, goodbye......"
