Dian Rong was pleasantly surprised by the straw hat in front of him, and shouted loudly: "I found my father." I found my dad. ”

Everyone hurriedly ran around and gathered around, and when they got close, they only saw Dianrong pulling weeds around, and they didn't see a full house.

Dianfu asked, "Second brother, where is my father?" How I didn't see it. ”

Dianrong said immaturely: "Dad's straw hat is there, Dad's can't go far, it must be here." Look for it. Dian Rong was so anxious that he began to cry.

Qingtang saw the worn-out straw hat, and he recognized it as his mother's handiwork at a glance. It is also the second brother's favorite top, and there is no day in spring, summer and autumn, and it should be placed in the place where you can see it at first sight when you go home in winter. Now the straw hat is there, but the person is nowhere to be seen......

Erkui never left his hand with the second master's straw hat, the second master worked hard and worked hard for this family, but now he can't see anyone alive or dead, how can people not be sad.

Several men searched the area for two more days, but found nothing. There was no hope at all, and everyone dragged their tired bodies to their homes in grief.

Dianrong turned back three times in one step, and in his young heart, his father was lying and sleeping on this wilderness.

It is better to believe that God is jealous of talents, than to think that people's hearts are unpredictable, and grace will be revenged.

Erkui cried all the hardships he had endured in his life, and he was willing; Erkui and Er are full of tears, and they are tired like cattle and horses, and they are also wide and strong; Erkui San has cried and a lot of hearts, and he is also the main beam. There are 60% of the rice, 30% of the rice, 10% of the livestock, and a pot of porridge to be scooped dry by themselves. If it weren't for the compassion and soft-heartedness, how could there be a soul floating in the wilderness today, and orphans and widows want to wear it. The green mountains cover the bones, and there is nowhere to find the loyal soul. How can the sky not follow people's wishes, leaving regrets in the world.

After Qingtang and his party came back, they began to handle the funeral of the full hall, and the neighbors thought that the full hall was good on weekdays, but now it is rare for good people to be rewarded, which makes people infinitely sad. This is true for outsiders, let alone family members.

Ren Fushi looked at the children who were not minors in front of her, she knew that she had to be strong, she couldn't fall down again, and let the children become orphans without fathers and mothers. She must stand up and live with a full house of children, and she must be a mountain that children can rely on behind her. She thought so, and she did.

Ren Fu found the old shoes that Man Tang usually wore, as well as the broken straw hat, and put them in the coffin together and made a shadow burial.

Only life and death are major events in people's lives, and everything else is trivial, and they have experienced ups and downs in their lives, and they wanted to carry the mission of revitalizing the family, but their fate did not go well and died young, leaving orphans and widows under the fence and struggling to live.

The departure of the full house almost caused a catastrophe to Ren Fu's family. Originally, the money borrowed from the house when the house was full, Ren Fu used the only money he had to keep his life to pay off the debt, Dianfu and Dianrong were forced to leave the school, and also moved out of the house where they lived, and moved to Liu Shande, who had old friends with Mantang, who lived in five rooms, and the west wing of Liu San's old man's house to live temporarily.

Liu Shande's daughter-in-law took medicine all the year round and gave birth to two daughters for him, so he could no longer give birth.

The Liu family has land and livestock, and he has a good life, he used to be a member of the village protection team, he admired the people of the house, and took pity on the orphans and widows left behind by the house, so he took the initiative to take them in.

Ren Fu's heart is kind-hearted, and he has a lot of charity on weekdays, and he will not disappoint those who are kind.

Liu's sister-in-law is frail and sickly, and her two daughters are still young. The women's work of the Liu family was all contracted by Ren Fu's family.

The eldest daughter of the Liu family, Chaoxia, is as big as Chunhua, and the two girls often take the cloth head and learn sewing with Ren Fu.

One day, Chaoxia brought a piece of new material and said to Chunhua: "This is what my father bought for me from Changchun, and my mother said to let my second aunt make me new clothes." ”

Chunhua held the small flower cloth and refused to let go with envy. She kept stroking the little flower cloth.

Chaoxia shouted: "You let go, don't stain my new cloth." ”

Chunhua said, "My hands are clean, you let me see it again." ”

Ren Fu and Chao Xia Niang entered the house and saw the two children arguing over a piece of cloth, and they smiled in unison.

Chaoxia Niang said: "Chunhua, let your mother finish making clothes for Chaoxia and give you the rest of the fabric." ”

Ren Fu made a small flower coat with a white background and light pink stand-up collar for Chaoxia, and took out many small strips of black and shiny silk cloth from his own cloth head, and sewed them into exquisite butterfly small buckles little by little.

The kung fu flower clothes for a meal are ready, and Chaoxia is anxious to put on Meimeida.

Ren Fu smiled and said, "The buckle that Auntie made for you hasn't been done yet." ”

Ren Fu's work is orderly, fast and sharp, fine and exquisite, and the five buckles took her a day.

Chaoxia put on the new clothes made by Ren Fushi and specially shouted Chunhua The two of them walked back and forth in the village several times, and when the farmers looked at the chic and dazzling butterfly buckles with envy, they all praised this needlework was too meticulous, and they couldn't see the place where the needle code was routed.

Chunhua looked up with a little face and said proudly: "Auntie, auntie, this is what my mother did." My mother's big cakes are fragrant, and the aunts and aunts of Ren Xiaodian love to eat my mother's cooking. ”

Five rooms are known from the name of the village, where the population is small and there are five families.

The mistress of the five households knew that there was a young lady from a large family in their village, and she was also the daughter-in-law of the descendant of the famous Ren Xiaopu who opened the wasteland's house, and five or six women were in a hurry to meet this woman who was impeccable in needlework, and who was beyond their reach.

Ren Fushi saw a group of women behind Chaoxia and Chunhua, and was busy smiling to greet each other, and invited the women to sit on the kang.

Ren Fu had already boiled a pot of boiling water, poured it into a thermos, and brewed elm tea in a large teapot left behind in the hall.

The tea is fragrant, and these women don't know the taste of tea. It's just about choosing your favorite gadgets.

Ren Fu poured a bowl of elm tea for everyone and said, "Everyone, please drink some elm tea, it can calm the nerves and strengthen the spleen, diuresis and reduce swelling." If you have a nervous breakdown or are weak and swollen, drink it......"

As soon as the women heard that this tea could cure diseases, their eyes mixed with surprise and greed shot at the tea bowl in Ren Fu's hand, and they scrambled to drink it, as if after this mouthful, all the internal organs were washed clean.

Ren Fu took his children to establish a firm foothold in the five rooms. The women are willing to talk to her, and the men also hope that their women will associate with Ren Fushi, as if the women who come into contact with Ren Fushi will become smart and wise.

The needlework in Ren Fushi's hands became faster and faster. At night of the 30th night of this Chinese New Year's Eve, the children at home can wear the new shoes made by the mother.

Dianfu was born short, and the palace was more than a head taller than him. Dian Fu had to go to Ren Xiaopu every day to collect pigs from house to house, and Dian Rong also let go of cattle from two villages.

Ren Fu helped his neighbors do manual work at home, and sometimes went to Taipingshan Township to collect weddings and funerals to support the family's daily necessities.

It's good to think that the child is older, who knows that when the child is older, there will be many difficult things.

In the blink of an eye, Dianfu is 18 years old, and it is time to ask the matchmaker to help him find a girl.

Ren Fu said to his eldest son: "Maizi (Dianfu's nickname) will work until the end of the year, so don't herd pigs, and work as a small worker for the old Deng family." Aunt Thirteen will give you a good girl, and if it is relative, she will marry her daughter-in-law home in the coming year. ”

Dian Fu lowered his head and remained silent, and the spring flower behind him clapped happily and said with a smile: "Great, we also have a sister-in-law." ”

Dianfu said embarrassedly: "I don't want a daughter-in-law, I want a mother." ”

Ren Fushi smiled and said: "Silly child, you see that little bird has grown up and its wings are hard and flew away, they have to build a nest by themselves, find a companion, and after laying eggs, they will hatch their own children." It's the same with people, you see whose son doesn't marry a daughter-in-law. When you have a daughter-in-law, there will be a daughter-in-law who loves you, and you will also love your daughter-in-law. The two of them live in harmony with the United States. ”

Dianfu's face was red, and he said shyly: "I want to live with my mother, and I will not be separated." ”

Ren Fushi smiled and said, "Good son, my mother likes you brothers, the family is harmonious, regardless of each other." You're all the meat that fell from your mother's body. Ren Fushi said as his eyes flushed.

Seeing that his mother was sad, Dian Fu hurriedly said: "Mother, when I marry my daughter-in-law, I won't let my mother work." Let the mother eat ready-made, let the mother enjoy the happiness. ”

Ren Fu hurriedly said: "Maizi, that's not good, how old is my mother, don't complain about doing some work, as long as there is pain and heat between your brothers and sisters, and the husband and wife are harmonious, let me hold more grandchildren, and my mother will be happy." ”

Ren Fu's thirteenth aunt entrusted Dianfu to find a family of fifty miles of Wu Datun, the girl of the Wu family, Miss Wu's parents died early, she sent people under the fence of her eldest brother's house, and her sister-in-law was mean and mean, and she was either beaten or scolded, and she was eager to send her away early, and the family would be clean.

Although he was poor and had no relatives, Ren Fu still thought of his father-in-law's only younger brother, Ren Desheng, his third uncle and father-in-law.

Ren Fushi carried a wicker basket, loaded more than 20 eggs saved at home, covered with a layer of floral cloth, and walked more than five miles with crutches to Ren Xiaopu, which she was familiar with and unfamiliar with.

The third old man, Desheng, watched the long-term workers load the carriage in the oil mill, and told the account room to keep accounts.

He said to his eldest son Futang: "This trip will be delivered to Changchun Mi's shop, catch up with Ming'er, and send it to Changling Gaode Fang on the next trip." Don't forget to get the money back for the first half of the year. ”

Futang said, "Well, Dad, I know. I said hello to the two of them last time when I delivered them, and they all said that this trip would be checked. ”

Desheng nodded with satisfaction and went home with his hands behind his back.

Ren Fu and Desheng's second son, Juntang's daughter-in-law, Li (Tong Daughter-in-law, who had just turned 13 years old at the time), chatted in the house, waiting for the third uncle, Desheng, to return.

Li said: "Second sister-in-law, Dianfu is not young, and it is time to get married, and when Dianfu's daughter-in-law marries, you also have a helper, which is a good thing." ”

When Desheng heard his second daughter-in-law say that it was a good thing, he asked from the outhouse, "What is a good thing?" ”

When Desheng entered the house, he saw Ren Fu sitting on the kang and talking.

When Ren Fu saw that the third uncle and father-in-law had gone home, she hurriedly got up and stood on the ground and said, "Third uncle, you are back." ”

Desheng was particularly surprised to see Ren Fushi, he hadn't seen this niece and daughter-in-law for more than ten years since he split the family.

Ren Fu's hair has not turned gray much, but there are many more wrinkles on his face, and he has lost a lot of weight.

Desheng was stunned and hurriedly asked his niece and daughter-in-law to sit down and talk.

Without waiting for Desheng to ask, Li preemptively said: "Dad is going to drink wedding wine, my second sister-in-law's eldest son Dian Fu is getting married, and I have a good news letter for you today, and I also brought you eggs." ”

Desheng hurriedly said: "It's a good thing, but you don't need to run so far away, let the child come over and learn to tell." My own family, come here, and take something, I don't lack anything, take these eggs back and give them to the children to eat. ”

Desheng's sentence: "My own family." Moved to the point where Ren Fu was about to cry.

Where did Ren Fu dare to sit down and speak, she kept standing there, smiling: "I was supposed to come to visit you often, but it's really ......"

Ren Fushi was stuck at this point, took a long breath, and said with a smile: "Maizi is the old Wu family girl in Wu Datun, one year younger than Maizi, the girl has no parents, and her brother and sister-in-law have passed, I want to do their marriage a year ago, do you think you think of it?" ”

When Desheng heard this, he understood the purpose of Ren Fu's visit this time, not just to send a happy event, in order to prevent Ren Fu's mouth from opening his mouth to borrow money, he sealed the door first.

Desheng smiled and said, "Okay, the wheat is not small, hey, my eldest brother should be so happy to know that his grandson is going to marry a daughter-in-law." Every time I see my eldest brother's children, I feel bad for many days, which is why I don't let them come to me for New Year's greetings. Now that Maizi is going to marry a daughter-in-law, I can't help as a grandfather, and I feel uncomfortable thinking about it. ”

Desheng said that the tears really fell, he turned around and walked into the back room, took out the key, took out a small box from the ground cabinet, and took out 20 yuan from it.

Desheng walked to the outhouse and handed the money to Ren Fushi and said: "In the past few years, I have spent a lot of money for your two younger brothers to study, and the year is not good, the old farmer has no money in his hands, Master Ma and Master Meng are also gone, and my wine and oil mill are difficult to maintain." The debts owed outside have never been returned. After the New Year, I don't know if this business can be done. Anyway, no matter how tight Maizi marries a daughter-in-law, I have to show and express it no matter how tight I am as a grandfather. Let's not leave according to the ceremony, don't wait for the wedding gift list, you can take it back first and buy things for the children. ”

Ren Fu is an understanding person, so she naturally knows that she can't borrow money from here, so she smiled and said: "Thank you for this piece of heart, third uncle, I will let Zhongzi (Dianrong's nickname) pick you up on the day of the day." ”

Desheng hurriedly said: "What's the matter, troublesome, I'll let Futang catch the car and go over early." ”

Ren Fu thanked the third uncle for coming back, Desheng naturally stayed to eat, but the Li family stayed for dinner, how could Ren Fu have the heart to eat......

On the way back, Ren Fushi comforted himself: "Hey, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is a favor to lend you, and it is your duty not to lend it to you." ”

Think about the last time, the twenty yuan made Ren Fu cry I don't know how many times, and finally borrowed a debt from an old master who worked, and gave high interest.
