"Brother, the weather is so good."

"Brother, are all crops growing in the fields?

"Brother, what is this?"

"Brother, is this Miao?"

"Brother, is this grass?"

"Brother, you listen to the birds singing and the frogs chirping."

"Brother, you see butterflies flying."

‌ ……

On the heads of the silent crops, there is a childlike laughter. One tall and one short, jumping happily and smiling on the road. From time to time, the child turned around, and while walking, he looked at his brother, who was constantly answering questions and smiling, and looked at all the creatures on the earth without blinking.

The fiery sunlight warmed the earth again, and the trees on both sides of the road provided them with parasols. Under the shade of the trees, a gentle breeze constantly drifts in, diluting the emotions brought about by the heat and dryness.

Every year during the winter vacation of school, Wu Yi went to live at his uncle and aunt's house for a few days. Eating sticky bean buns, I can play with my cousins and cousins. In those days a few years ago, every household in the countryside made bean buns, so that every household would not be so busy during the Chinese New Year and have time to visit relatives and friends. Wu Yi grabbed the yellow rice noodles from the basin and slapped them into cakes on his hands. Then squeeze the boiled beans into a ball, then put the crumbled bean paste on the dough cake, and then put both hands together a few times, and Huang Dengdeng's bean bag is wrapped.

In the winter when he was eight years old, his uncle and the members of the production team drove a carriage to the city to run errands. Before leaving, his uncle teased Wu Yi, "Go to our house, there is delicious food, and you can play with your cousins and cousins." "The child is not funny today, Wu Yizhen will go. The mother was worried about her son and said to her brother, "Can you do it, make trouble again." As soon as his mother's words fell, Wu Yi immediately said to his mother, "I'm playing with my cousin." When the words are spoken, the heart is alive, and my mother can't stop it no matter how much she wants to. With the first time, going to his uncle and aunt's house during the winter vacation every year has become a major event for Wu Yi. Perhaps, starting this year, the ten-year pattern will be broken. Because he graduated from high school, he responded to the call to settle in the countryside. So, Wu Yi decided to build a house and visit his uncle, aunt and childhood sweetheart's cousin before going to the countryside. However, the fourth brother is the same as he was back then. When he was fifteen years old, Wu Yi and his cousin, who was one year younger than him, walked to his uncle's house together. Although it was 20 kilometers away, when they arrived at the house of his uncle and aunt, he stuck on the kang. When his cousin took off his shoes, his feet were blistered. Wu Yi said jokingly: "Brother, are you tired?" ”

"Not tired." Cousin said.

"Are your feet blistered?"

"Nope."

Wu Yi looked at his cousin and sat up from the kang. Since this year, he has been walking to his uncle and aunt's house every winter vacation. From two hours at the beginning to one and a half hours, to more than an hour, I was going to use it in a shorter time this time. But this time, with his younger brother traveling with him, "Don't you take the car," Wu Yi said to the fourth brother, "Can you move around?" ”

"Brother can walk," Wu Si raised his face and said, "I can." ”

Wu Yi looked at his younger brother's eager eyes, "Okay, brother will take you to your uncle's house." ”

"Si'er is going, you can take the car." Mom said.

Wu Yi told his mother, "We want to feel the magical charm of nature, feel the idyllic scenery, and prepare to go to the countryside." He continued, "Mom, I'm carrying my brother on my back." ”

In the green crop fields on both sides of the road, the figures of farmers working hard are weeding, plowing, plowing, and closing the fields one by one.

"Brother, what is this?" Wu Si twisted his head and asked his brother innocently.

"It's corn."

"What is this?" He was attracted to the seedlings in the field, both preoccupied and looking around.

"Sorghum." Wu Yi said.

"This is grass." Wu Sitian said really.

"This is millet." Wu Yi said and came to the valley by the road with his younger brother.

"Look, there's a head up there." Wu Yi let his younger brother see it clearly, and said, "Don't look at the inconspicuous now, when you grow up, you will be Huang Dengdeng's grain ear." ”

Ah......h Got it. He listened, watched, and spoke, plucking a handful of grass and tilting his head to look at the grass carefully.

"This is grass," Wu Yi pointed to the grass in his hand, "the flat stem is grass, and the stalks of sorghum corn and millet are round." ”

"Remembered." Wu Si said thoughtfully. "Brother, if you take the car, you won't know this."

Maybe my brother's words reminded Wu Yi. He stood still and instinctively looked around. Over the years, he has used the trees, tunzi, and meadows on the side of the road as references, and he knows how far he has gone and how much time it takes to go to a place. "The fourth brother carries you." Wu Si said that he wouldn't let his brother carry it, but Wu Yi couldn't resist his younger brother, so he had to say, "Let's rest for a while and then leave." ”

"No, you don't." Wu Si said. His curiosity prompted his eyes to keep rolling, and his mouth to ask here and there. Then the two of them came under the tree. As soon as Wu sat down, Wu Si saw his brother sit down, so he had to stop his tired footsteps.

"Sit down, brother will tell you a story."

"Okay." Wu Si clapped his hands happily.

The two brothers sat under a stout and tall tree.

"Tell me what?" Wu Yi said to himself: "Let's tell a fairy tale." ”

"Okay."

"Here we go." Wu Yi said.

"Let's go." Wu Si said.

One day, roosters, quails, and rats play together. Playing around, one of them proposed, "Let's go bye." ”

"Brother, what do you mean by worship?" Wu Si's eyes sparkled.

"Brother taught you," Wu Yi said very reverently, "I'll do it for you." Wu Sile looked at the eldest brother in a tumultuous manner. Wu Yi stood up, and Wu Si also stood up. The two knelt down against the tree and clenched their fists. Wu Si hugged his hands together like a big brother. "The ancient tree of the sky is on top, my fourth brother and I are brothers today, we share blessings and hardships......" Wu Yi slammed his head on the ground as soon as he finished speaking, and Wu Si also knocked his head on the ground. After the demonstration, they sat back down and "slammed their heads on the ground, and the brothers were done." Next is a big bowl of wine and a big bite of meat. ”

Wu Si couldn't wait to say, "Brother, let's go on." ”

The rooster is the eldest brother, the quail is the second brother, and the mouse is the younger brother. It was a sunny day, the wind was beautiful, and the roosters and quails came out to play. Playing with roosters and quails, he suddenly thought, how could there be a lack of a third brother in this beautiful weather. So, the brothers came to the mouse's house. The mouse heard the two brothers calling it, and after coming out, he played with the eldest brother and the second brother for a while, and hugged his fists to the two brothers and said that he would go back if there was something. The rooster looked at the third brother and said unhappily, "It's really disappointing, it's still far from winter, what are you busy with?" I really don't enjoy life. ”

The rats are in a hurry to get back home and are busy preparing food for the winter. It is said that in winter, the snow covers the mountains, and the severe cold of more than minus 30 degrees makes the roosters and quails lose their former demeanor, and only shiver in the cold wind. The rooster suddenly said to the quail, "Let's go to the third brother, and by the way, let him borrow some food, and wait for me to go and come back." With that, the rooster went away. It came to the door of the mouse and shouted, "Cat meal, cat meal." The rat heard the cry and came out lazily, "Big brother is here." "The rooster saw that the third brother was wearing a brand-new leather jacket, so majestic. Look at the appearance of your own hair and thorns. But it stubbornly said, "Third brother, this year's heavy snow has closed the mountain, and the second brother and I haven't eaten for a few days, so ...... your food."

"Big brother, you wait." The rat had already entered the "house" before he spoke. The is waiting. Trembling waiting. The sun is about to set, and the third brother has not come out yet. It wants to get into the rat hole and pull it out. But the rooster still went back dejected. Quail saw that the eldest brother came back empty-handed, "Didn't borrow it?" The quail asked from the rooster, "Big brother, you wait." The quail came to the mouse's house like a wind, and cried out, "Old director, old director." "The rat heard the voice of the second brother and came out immediately." The second brother is here," it already knew the quail's true intentions, and before the quail could speak, it said, "Second brother, you wait, I'll bring it to you." After a while, the rat carried the grain out of the granary, "Second brother, take it back and use it." The rooster was not happy to see the second brother coming back with the grain on his back. Instead, he angrily called the quail to look for the mouse. The mouse came out and asked the eldest brother and the second brother how they were. The rooster said with his head split, "Third brother, this is your fault, they are all brothers with their heads on the ground, how can they ......?"

"Big brother and second brother, listen to me: Hua Bu Ling climbed the tip of his tail and stood at the door to call the cat for food, although I didn't feed the old cat, and the bad words hurt people in June. Hua Buleng's tail is round, standing at the door and calling the supervisor, although I didn't treat the supervisor as a good word, a good word is warm ...... three winters" So, the rooster only has self-pity.

"Brother, are you done?" Wu Si didn't hear enough, so he asked.

"That's it." Wu Yi teased the fourth brother.

"That's not the end." Wu Si said.

"When he finished," he then asked the fourth brother, "do you know the truth here?" ”

"Roosters can't talk, quails do."

"Yes," Wu Yi said, "there is another meaning......

Wu Si shook his head and said, "I'll know when I go to school." ”

Wu Yi looked at his smart younger brother, "The fourth brother is also a good student when he goes to school." ”

Wu Si smiled happily.

"Brother, smell it, the flowers are fragrant." Wu Si's appearance amused his brother.

"It smells so good." Wu Yi said as he sniffed. Then he took Wu Si over and carried him without saying anything.

"Brother, I'm here." Wu Si said on Wu Yi's back.

"Not tired yet? We're more than halfway there. ”

Wu Si was on his brother's back and squeezed his brother's shoulder hard, so that his body kept an upward posture, so as to reduce his weight.

"When you go to school, you have to study hard and be a useful person." Wu Yi walked on the path with his younger brother on his back and said to his younger brother.

"Hmm!" Wu Si agreed.

"To know gratitude, it is not easy for our parents to give birth to us."

"Brother, I remember."

Wu Yi carried his younger brother on his back, walked through a tunzi with a smile and a smile, and turned a corner. At this time, Wu Si sneered upwards and said, "Brother, I saw my uncle's tunzi." "The tunzi where my uncle and aunt live is faintly visible. Wu Yi put Wu Si down, and the two brothers held hands and walked forward.

"When I get home, I want to tell my uncle and aunt that my brother is going to the countryside." Wu Si said with some annoyance: "I can't study with my brother, I only see each other once a year." ”

"We'll meet often." Wu Yi replied immediately.

"I also have to tell my uncle and aunt that I am going to school and learn a lot like my brother." He continued, "Brother, why don't you go down to your uncle and aunt? He didn't wait for his brother to speak, but still said, "I'm going to play hide and seek with my cousin and cousin, and I'll hide in the fields and come out of it like a warrior." ”

Listening to his brother's rich imagination, Wu Yi, who was strong in his heart, was deeply shocked by his brother's words......
