It is said that Dianrong received a telegram from his eldest brother, and only said: "Return to my mother quickly."

Dianrong was anxious when he saw these three words. Immediately decided to go home immediately.

Dianrong asked for leave with the leaders of the mining area that day, bought some things in the mall, and took the train to Changchun in the evening to return to his hometown.

One night on the train, Dian Rong didn't sleep much, and he was always worried that his mother was not feeling well, and the eldest brother didn't dare to say it directly. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and there was no sleepiness at all.

As soon as Dian Rong entered the village, he asked hurriedly, "Have you seen my mother?" ”

Hearing that the villagers said that they saw Ren Fu pouring beggar's water into the pigsty at noon today, Dian Rong's heart fell to the ground. He greeted the villagers again, and his steps became much easier. In order to let my mother know that she was back as soon as possible.

Dianrong entered the courtyard gate and began to shout: "Mother, I'm back, Mother, I'm back." ”

Ren Fushi heard the voice of Dianfu, held back her tears, and looked out on the windowsill on the kang, she saw her son, tall and thin, and much darker.

Ren Fu happily wanted to come down from the kang, and Dianrong hurriedly dragged his mother to push him up the kang and said, "Mother, don't come down, it's too cold underground." I also took off my shoes and went to the kang to talk to my mother. ”

Ren Fu took the broom and swept the kang mat and said, "Take off your coat quickly, and go to the kang to warm up." Mother, this house makes your eldest brother hot. ”

Dianrong naughtily stretched his hand under his mother's cross-legged legs, and said with a smile: "Then I will touch the heat on my mother's body."

When the mother is the happiest, it is the child who is coquettish by her side, rubbing in front of and behind her, sticking to the mother. It was the happiest and happiest moment for all mothers.

Dian Fu was picking up dung in the village, he heard that the second brother was back, and he trotted back with a dung basket on his back, and before Dian Rong and his mother could chat, he had already entered the house.

Dianfu panted and said, "How can you come back quickly?" Did you come back the same day you received the telegram? ”

Dian Rong was naturally happy to see the eldest brother, Dian Rong picked up a canvas bag from the ground, put it in front of the eldest brother and said: "Big brother, this is my work clothes, there are single, there are cotton, I specially asked for the trumpet, you can wear it and try it, see if it is suitable?" It's enough for you to wear for two years, and I'll keep it for you when I send it out again in the mine. ”

Dianfu picked it up and saw that it was all new, and he didn't care about wearing a consultant's younger brother: "All you want is a trumpet, give it to me, what are you wearing yourself?" Take some back, go back and change to a large size, and keep it for yourself, I have two clothes that are enough, and I can wear so many pieces. ”

Dian Rong said with a smile: "The few torn pieces that the workers took off can be made into a good dress. They are all worn for work, the new and the old are the same, and the old patches are warmer to wear in winter. You know my job, the next time the new clothes come up in the well, they will be the old clothes. You can't wear new clothes, these are left for you to wear slowly, and there are two large ones here, you can ask your sister-in-law to take them back to her eldest brother to wear. ”

Ren Fushi saw Dianfu's daughter-in-law come in, and hurriedly said: "Guofu Niang, listen, Dianrong also brought back clothes to Uncle Guofu, and you will go back to your parents' house to think about bringing them back to Uncle Guofu."

Dianfu's daughter-in-law blushed and said to Dianrong: "Let the second brother bother, and still think about my mother's brother."

Dianfu looked at his daughter-in-law and deliberately angry with her and said: "All the things that my second brother brought back are kept for me, and the big ones will wait for my son to grow taller in a few years, so I will wear them for my son."

Dian Rong had already handed the large costume to his sister-in-law. He turned his head to the eldest brother and said, "Your son has grown up and is a good person, and people are not uncommon in the clothes of old workers, and people should wear cadre clothes."

Ren Fu looked at the affectionate appearance of the two brothers, not to mention how happy he was. She urged Dianfu and said, "You put it on quickly, can my mother see if it's appropriate?" ”

Dianfu's heart is warm, and every piece of clothing fits. While undressing down, he said that these are waiting for the New Year to be worn.

Dianrong took another big bag on the kang and took out a small grandfather clock from it, this is an old one bought from a worker, Dianrong has been storing it, this time I came back to bring it to my mother, and my mother will know the time when she looks at the clock in the future, and she doesn't need to look at the sun.

Dianrong took out the bag again, washed it cleanly, and folded the boards and neatly old cloth of different sizes.

Dianrong said to his mother: "Mother, these are all old clothes thrown by the workers, I picked them up and washed them, cut out the cloth heads, and let the mother's soles be used."

A large bag was stuffed with something on the board, and it turned out to be a cloth cut out of the miner's torn pants, and Ren Fu was both happy and distressed.

When the children of Dianfu heard that the second uncle was back, they happily ran home, where could they still take care of playing.

Dianrong took out walnut crisps, moon cakes, fried noodles, and sugar cubes from his backpack, all of which were delicious, put them in front of his mother, and asked his mother to distribute them to the children.

Ren Fu gave walnut cakes, moon cakes, and sugar cubes to the children.

Dianfu's daughter-in-law asked Ren Fushi: "Mother, make something delicious today, do you think the white flour oil cake is not hit?" ”

Ren Fu smiled and said, "Zhongzi is most willing to eat oil cakes, Maizi, you go to the chicken coop and catch that big rooster and stew it in a while." ”

Dianfu was timid and didn't dare to look at the killing of chickens, Dianfu's daughter-in-law was not afraid, she worked neatly, and after a while, she made a big pot of chicken stewed vermicelli and baked half a pot of oil cakes

After eating, when Dianfu's daughter-in-law was about to go back to the house, her mother-in-law gave her a large bundle of cloth.
