My tears had already dried up, and sitting on the stone in front of Brother Rundong's house, I realized that their family had actually built a new house, and all the places in the house had been renovated, but here, I could no longer find a place where Mrs. Run's image could stay.

Her smile really can only stay in my memory forever.

I heard Brother Rundong crying in the house, and I heard the cry of the whole village, but no matter what, I couldn't hold back Mrs. Run's departure, and that beautiful smile will only be treasured in my memory forever, forever!

The next day, Mrs. Run was buried, and Brother Rundong guarded Mrs. Run.

My parents and I were there this night, and everyone in the village came over, and many people gathered around here, but we didn't cry this night, everyone was chatting about Mrs. Run's past, and everyone talked about Mrs. Run's past, and everyone talked about Mrs. Run's things, all of which made everyone happy, all of them were her diligence, her help, and her love, but after every time they talked about something, everyone would sigh again.

Brother Rundong just sat in a daze under the lamp in front of the mullion, the lonely light left his shadow in the ground and looked particularly gloomy, he just sat motionless, his confused eyes were blank, as if he was reminiscing, I believe he must be able to think of more about Mrs. Run's beautiful past.

He sat silently in front of the lattice, smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth, his eyes looking at the ground, not speaking, and occasionally staying there, his face with deep wrinkles and gray hair like a carved woodman.

At this moment, Brother Rundong obviously noticed the arrival of this familiar figure.

Slowly raised his head, looked at his father beside him with a wooden gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly lowered his head again, but his hands were slightly squeezing each other, as if struggling, rubbing a grass stalk in his hand had been broken, still rubbing, and after a while, he finally slowly raised his head again.

"Oh... Dad!"

A muffled call, as if someone had forgotten how to pronounce the word.

Runyuanwai, who was smoking dry cigarettes, suddenly stiffened at this moment, and slowly turned his head in disbelief, looked at Rundong, and made sure that the voice just now came from him, and his dry face actually trembled a little at this moment.

Seeing Runyuan's old and thin face, and the excitement mixed with disbelief in his eyes, Brother Rundong hurriedly lowered his head again, but continued vaguely: "Dad, you, you can go to Changshengsha with me to live for a while!"

At this moment, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and everyone was watching the father and son with bated breath.

I let out a long sigh, Brother Rundong finally let go of his stubbornness, and took the initiative to show favor to his father, it seems that from the painful experience of Mrs. Run's departure, Brother Rundong has completely become soft, he gave up the scars in his heart, he is ready to make up for the cracks in this family, treat the living better, far more important than calculating who is right and wrong of the dead.

"Oh, this, home, there's still a lot of farm work at home, there's a lot of pigs to feed, and it's ......"

The son's sudden overture obviously caught Runren a little off guard, and he prevaricated incoherently with some reasons, but we can hear that his tone is not strong, it should be, he is a little unsure of what to do, he should be a little flustered.

"My brother, they are all older, they can take care of the family, you can go to Changshengsha with me, enjoy a few days of blessings, and go to the provincial capital to see the excitement." Brother Rundong insisted again, and at this moment his attitude was no longer embarrassed, but said to his father very solemnly.

This is a rare and heartwarming moment for their stubborn father and son.

Knowing that these two people are stubborn, seeing this, I also persuaded Runren to say outside:

"Outside Runyuan, you can go with Brother Rundong to have a look, Brother Rundong is now the editor of the provincial capital, the articles he writes are often in the newspapers, he is now a celebrity in the provincial capital, by the way, you also go to the provincial capital to relax. ”

The father is proud of his son, in fact, Runyuanwai's prejudice against Brother Rundong has long been relieved, but looking at his appearance, it still seems a little cramped to Rundong's first overture.

Runyuanwai's dry face stiffened, and he nodded after thinking about it, but he still said as if he was bargaining about the price of live pigs:

"Okay, then let's go, just stay for a few days, just a few days!"

Three days later, Brother Rundong took Runren with me, I took my parents, and the five of us went to Changshengsha together.

Yes, seeing the death of Mrs. Run, I don't want to postpone my filial piety to my parents anymore, although, I don't have a big house in Changshengsha now, although I am now a wanted criminal in Changshengsha, but I still have to take my parents to the provincial capital to visit, just as I am accompanying Runren, anyway, I have time now.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but does not wait, what happens to the wanted criminals? The wanted criminals also have to fulfill their filial piety.

The five of us chartered a boat and arrived at Changsheng Sha smoothly.

When I got here, I rented a big house and let the two families live in it, and then took a few old people to start visiting the big city to see the customs and appearance of the provincial capital.

With a few old people, to the school where we used to study to see, appreciate the flower drum, but also to visit the monuments, while appreciating all kinds of snacks, these days we accompanied the old people out to play, Mrs. Run just left, I believe that the mood outside the run is not good, which can also make his old man scatter.

And this way with my parents, several elderly people together, and two more chat companions, this road is not lonely.

A few days later, Brother Rundong's first article after his return was published in the newspaper, entitled "Sacrifice to the Mother".

It was an article in the form of words and songs, long poems, full of affection, I rarely saw Brother Rundong write articles in this style before, it seems that the death of Mrs. Run's brother made Brother Rundong's heart feel very deeply, it is estimated that he thinks that only the language of words and songs can express his admiration and nostalgia for his mother.

In the past, Brother Rundong's articles were all fierce critical articles, which could almost be said to be bloody, and the words were sharp, but now he suddenly became hazy and expressed his feelings in a hazy way, I don't know if this is his re-understanding of human nature, or the death of his mother, which made him see the other side of life, and let him see that there are some things that can penetrate into people's hearts more than sharp words, I can't tell!

Anyway, I feel that Brother Rundong has changed slightly.

Maybe it's just an illusion, I don't dare to say it yet, but I believe that if Brother Rundong really changes, his straightforward character will be easily revealed, and I will easily find out in the future.

The article was on the newspaper, although Runyuan didn't know a few words, but seeing that the newspaper containing his son's article was printed all over the street for sale, at this moment, Runyuanwai was extremely happy, he knocked the half-smoked dry tobacco on the sole of his shoe, stopped smoking, and then walked to Rundong's side and said solemnly:

"Rundong, Dad is a rough man, I used to prevent you from going to school because I wronged you, I saw you have today, Dad is very happy, you will develop here in the provincial capital in the future! Dad doesn't stop you, I just hope you go home often. ”

came out to play for a few days, this is the most talked about outside Runyuan, this is Runyuanwai's complete admission that Brother Rundong should not be confined to that small mountain village.

"Hmm. ”

At this moment, Brother Rundong pursed his lips tightly and hurriedly lowered his head, although he had a straight face, the color of his face slightly flushed could show that the recognition from his father was very important to him, and Brother Rundong responded heavily.

"When the time comes, you and Ling Feng will come back as soon as possible. ”

My dad also happily interjected, my family has a very special affection for Brother Rundong, and has always regarded Brother Rundong as a benefactor, and they are equally happy to see Brother Rundong often go home.

On the side, I didn't listen right, and hurriedly said:

"What do you mean? Listening to you, it looks as if you are about to go back to the village. ”

At this time, Runyuan nodded and spoke again: "There are still many things to be busy at home, and you also need time to cultivate and write articles here, so we won't bother you here, we are relieved to see that everything is okay with you, the three of us discussed, we will go back to the village tomorrow, and when you have time, you can go back to the village to see us." ”

"Yes, your brother and daughter-in-law are about to give birth, and we have to go back to take care of them. My mother also said helplessly.

It seems that they have made up their minds, and we also know that if these old people leave their hometown for too long, they will be more anxious and worried, and they will be more at ease when they return home, so I don't want to stay with them for too long, just look for an opportunity to take them out to play in the future.

"Rundong!"

Usually Runyuanwai doesn't talk much, but now that he speaks again, it is estimated that there must be important things to explain to Brother Rundong, after calling Brother Rundong's name, although Runyuanwai raised his head, his eyes stayed on the ground, and he said with a little difficulty:

"In the past, I told your mother and you that family matter, you were not satisfied, it was all over, now you are 28 years old, and you have reached the age when you should find a daughter-in-law, no matter what kind of woman you want to find, as long as you look satisfied with yourself, I have no opinion, otherwise you are alone in the city, and I don't feel at ease if there is no one around you to take care of me." ”

I didn't expect my father to suddenly talk about this topic, hearing this, Brother Rundong quickly lowered his head, was silent for a while, and did not refuse, but this bow did not seem to be nodding, I don't know what he meant.

I've been thinking about talking about this all the time, and I know that Brother Rundong has been awkward about getting married, and I think it's the right time for Runren to mention it.

However, Brother Rundong didn't respond, which puzzled me!

I thought that because of the death of his mother, his attitude towards marrying a wife and having children would also be relaxed, but I didn't expect that he would still adopt such an evasive attitude, and he wanted to get angry and stop hurting the old man's heart, okay? But at this time, I suddenly thought of something, and my heart suddenly 'groaned' and half cold.

I suddenly remembered that Brother Rundong and Cai Hesen had made a poisonous oath together a few months ago that they would never find a wife or get married again in this life, which should have been half a year ago.
