The east end of the village and the west end of the village

The south bank of the village is near the river, and the north of the village is close to the mountain, where many families used to live, and then the people in the village went out to work one after another, the children went to the city with their parents to study, and the old people followed to take care of the children.

People in the east and west of the village rarely go out, they guard the old land, inherit the traditions of their ancestors, farm when they are busy, and fish in their spare time. In recent years, it has also been fashionable to plant vegetables and fruits, cultivate flowers and seedlings, and transplant lawns.

The old Zhou family in the east of the village has been a good person since they were young. Later, their two sons started a family, and each added a boy. The old couple still works hard, earns more and spends less, and is diligent and thrifty.

After Lao Zhou died, the old lady lived alone, she often went to the nearby plantation to find some work to do, sometimes the helper came back, saw a rice ear on the road, a cotton, a mineral water bottle, a few newspapers, she also picked up, said that the grain can not be wasted, and said that the waste can be used to sell, change to make up the money.

When the old lady was seventy years old, she could not work because of a leg pain, so she raised a flock of chickens, one in the spring and one in the autumn, selling both chickens and eggs. With these income subsidies, the old man did not reach out and ask his sons for a penny.

Five years later, in the winter, the old lady had a severe cold, which was easily cured, and she felt that her chest was suffocated, her head was heavy, her aisle was weak, and her body was getting worse. Vaguely feeling that her return was not far away, she asked someone to call the village chief and her two sons to the bedside, and she took out her passbook with 100,000 yuan and handed it to the village chief.

The old lady's breath was weak, and she gasped and said that she would not live long, and hoped that her two sons would serve her well, and if anyone was attentive, they would give the deposit to whom; If the two of them don't care, she will donate 100,000 yuan to the left-behind children's foundation.

In this case, the two sons, who used to only come to the door once a month, now come from the town to the east entrance of the village every day. More attentive than them are the two daughters-in-law, the mother is long and the mother is short and the screaming is non-stop, and the mahjong is no longer played, boiling porridge, cooking noodles, making dumplings, making wontons, and changing tricks to make delicious food to please the old lady.

More than a month later, the old lady died, and she walked peacefully, not counting her guilt.

At the funeral, the village chief said that something was announced, and he solemnly invited two respected old elders from the village to come to the old lady's coffin, and took out the will that the old lady had written for him before her death from his coat pocket, and there were bright red finger prints on it. The village chief coughed lightly: "The old lady asked me to write about the aftermath for her before she died, and I wrote what the old man said, and the two next to me were witnesses who were present at the time." ”

The two old men nodded yes and didn't say much.

The village chief tore open the sealed envelope and unfolded a neatly folded piece of stationery: "When I was a child, my family was poor, I didn't read, and I couldn't write, so I asked the village chief to write about my future." I have saved 100,000 yuan in my life from young to old, and I plan to give 50,000 yuan to my eldest grandson Zhou Xiaoping and 50,000 yuan to my youngest grandson Zhou Xiaofan! …… Well, March 11, 2012. ”

"Mom! ……”

"Thank you, mother-in-law!"

"Grandma! Grandma, woo-ah......"

Lao Wang, who has been living in the west of the village, earns less and spends more, and even if his pockets are empty, he has to borrow money to buy food, drink, and clothing, just blindly rewarding himself and patronizing his head regardless of his stomach.

They also had two sons, one married a daughter-in-law, and became a family; The other is still a widow, usually he eats and lives in the village factory, works every day, receives wages every month, and after more than ten years, he has not a penny, and he owes more than 10,000 to his workers! It turns out that this son and Lao Wang are a virtuous person, earning money without sparing money, not asking anything, only greedy for immediate enjoyment.

After the death of his wife, Lao Wang didn't care about his youngest son, drinking wine and eating meat with him, or starving and cold. Of course, the son didn't care about Lao Wang, and the father and son were strangers.

When he was old, the pain naturally came to the door, and from the age of 60, Lao Wang felt pain in his chest and legs. He was tortured to the core, and after taking painkillers for a while, he borrowed some money to go to the hospital to find a doctor. The doctor diagnosed a meniscus injury on the leg, which needed to be relieved by taking glucosamine sulfate according to the course of treatment, and as for the chest pain, it was a serious coronary heart disease that required surgery.

The old king asked the eldest son for money with crutches, and the eldest son pointed him out to the younger son; He looked for the younger son, but the younger son pushed him to the eldest son. The two blamed each other, but they didn't pay for it. Lao Wang was angry, and when he met people in the village, he said that his two sons were white-eyed wolves.

It didn't take long for the words to reach the ears of his son and daughter-in-law, and the sons didn't want to see Lao Wang. Lao Wang couldn't do anything, the ninja went to the village chief in pain, and the village chief came forward to mediate, but it was useless.

Lao Wang went to the police station to find the police again, and the police called Lao Wang's two sons for questioning. But as soon as they returned to the village, the two immediately changed their faces and colors, and they couldn't suppress their anger and went directly to the door, scolded Lao Wang, and yelled at Lao Wang angrily, and finally he released cruel words, saying that he was going to the court to sue his two sons, so that they both went to prison!

Early the next morning, Lao Wang got up early to cook noodles on the stove, and when the noodles were just about to be cooked, Lao Wang's daughter-in-law suddenly broke into the kitchen. In the rising heat, the daughter-in-law's cold face became more and more hideous, and the old Wang reacted to what was going on, only to see the younger son rush into the kitchen to lift the honeycomb coal stove, the sound of "dong", the coal stove fell to the ground, and then "dangdang" twice, the steel pot was smashed by the hammer in the hand of the eldest son.

"What are you doing! You're against the sky! Lao Wang bent down and coughed, "Lawless!" ”

"Aren't you going to jail for us? Okay, let's see how you get to the courthouse! With that, the youngest son took out the chain and locked the door knocker.

"Brute! I'm not going to put you all in jail! The old king tried to pull the door hard, but to no avail.

"You call us brutes? I wonder how you locked my grandmother's door back then, have you forgotten? ”

"It's all because she doesn't use it herself, but she is bitten by a mad dog, if I don't lock her up, she will bite the whole village to death, and no one will be left!"

"Anyway, it was the mad dog chasing you, and grandma deliberately summoned the mad dog in order to save you, and the mad dog pounced on grandma...... Grandma was killed by you! ”

After a few low whimpering sounds from Lao Wang in the room, there was no movement.

After a lot of noise, all the neighbors around were alarmed, and everyone was gossiping about everything. In the end, the son opened the chain, and saw Lao Wang leaning on the edge of the bed as if he was asleep.

"Quick! What's wrong with Lao Wang? ”

"Dad! Father! ”

Someone quickly reached out and sniffed: "No ......"
