The village chief picked up the letter, "Third brother, I followed me to read the letter." ”

Shen Jianfeng hadn't seen their letter either. He opened the paper bag and took out a snack for each of the two children, looking at the black and thin two children with a sour heart.

The man is working outside, and the daughter-in-law of the family runs away, so you know that the father and the two little ones are left, so you can imagine how difficult life is.

The two children did not pick up their hands behind their backs. "Take it, Uncle bought it for you."

The two children still refused to answer, the letter had been read at this time, and Cheng Erlin was illiterate before. Or go to school in the army. It's good to be able to write letters.

Father Cheng burst into tears, "Okay, okay, as long as he lives." ”

The village chief patted Father Cheng's back, "Third brother Erlin is fine, don't cry, wait for him to come back and be filial to you." ”

"Mmmmmm, you see I'm excited to hear the news."

"Xiao Liang, Xiao Jing, you two can continue to eat snacks."

The village chief spoke, but the two children still didn't answer, but looked at Daddy Cheng.

"Take it quickly, your uncle gave it, not someone else's."

The two children timidly took the peach cake, and the first thing was to send it to Daddy Cheng's mouth together.

"Don't eat, master doesn't eat, you two eat, Xiaoliang, after you eat, go boil water and let your uncle drink water."

"Uncle, I really don't need it."

"Yes, yes, it's not easy to come to the house, leave after eating."

The village chief stood up, "Third brother, I'll go back, comrades will go to my house for dinner at noon, and I'll let them prepare." ”

"The village chief really doesn't need it, there are still several letters that have not been delivered, and I will talk about it when I have the opportunity to come over later."

"Comrade, you can't be polite, even if you send a letter, you have to eat, the third brother will take Xiaoliang and Xiaojing home to eat when you turn around."

Shen Jianfeng quickly stood up, "Village chief, I'm not polite, it's true that there is an urgent matter at home, I came back yesterday and must finish the letter today." ”

Finally, the village chief left after a few polite words.

Xiao Liang took a big gulp and carefully ate a piece of peach crisp and went out to boil water. It was very poignant to watch the movements of the two children.

It's because his daughter-in-law has the ability, otherwise their mother's life would not be easy. Thinking of this, Shen Jianfeng's heart was full of frustration.

"Comrade, how is Erlin now?"

"Uncle, he was fine when I came."

"That's okay, comrade, you bring him back this money, our third master can work and have food. It's not easy to be outside, and you can't do it without money in your hands. ”

Shen Jianfeng shook his head, "Uncle, he has no place to spend money, don't be too tired when you get the money back." ”

Father Cheng sighed: "Not necessarily, what's the matter?" I don't know how many years I'll live, so I hope that I will live to see my son, and the two children will not be left without taking care of them one day. ”

Shen Jianfeng frowned, he was a person who experienced life and death on the battlefield, and after seeing too much, he felt that Father Cheng was indeed not very good.

looked at Xiao Liang who came in with a bowl, and the little girl who snuggled up next to the old man, "Uncle, Xiao Liang, Xiao Jing, let me tell you my address, if we are not at home, you will go to the village chief, and I will definitely arrange to take care of you, and my daughter-in-law will raise the children when she comes back." ”

Father Cheng smiled with satisfaction: "Xiaoliang Xiaojing, do you remember you?" The address of your uncle's house. ”

The two children repeated.

Shen Jianfeng nodded, "Yes, if you have any difficulties, go over and find out." ”

After speaking, he stood up, "Uncle, I still have to go to Zhou Jikuan's house to deliver a letter, and there are still several letters that have not been delivered today, so I won't leave more." ”

Father Cheng grabbed Shen Jianfeng, "Comrade, don't tell Erlin's family about the situation and say that everything is fine." ”

Shen Jianfeng nodded, "Okay, I know." ”

Xiao Liang led him to the door of Zhou Jikuan's house.

"Uncle, that's it."

"Well, Xiaoliang, you remember your uncle's home, you can go over any difficult things, you are an older brother, you have to take care of your younger sister.

When you are older, I am not afraid to tell you that if your grandfather dies and you can't live in the village, you will go to my house. It will be arranged over there. ”

"Uncle, my grandfather won't die." Xiao Liang said firmly.

Shen Jianfeng listened to the child's words, and tears almost fell. "Okay, but I still have to remember my uncle's words, go back, and take good care of my grandfather and sister."

Seeing that the child ran away, Shen Jianfeng called the door.

At this time, I had already started cooking, and some family members came out when they heard the movement.

"Is this Zhou Jikuan's house?"

"yes, who are you?" A young man asked.

"Zhou Jikuan asked me to bring back the letter."

At this time, a woman with an apron came out, "I am Zhou Jikuan's daughter-in-law." ”

Shen Jianfeng saw that people had no intention of going in by themselves, so a letter popped out of his arms.

The woman took it casually and turned to go in, and the man followed.

Shen Jianfeng felt that it was wrong, very wrong, and looked at the little girl who peeked at him not far away, and he beckoned.

The little girl actually pointed to the corn stalks in the distance, and Shen Jianfeng nodded and went over.

After waiting for a while, the little girl came running.

"Who are you?"

"My father is Zhou Jikuan."

"Hmm. You're his daughter, your father told me about you. ”

"My dad is still alive, isn't he?"

"Yes, your dad is still alive."

"But my mother and my second uncle were nested, saying that my father was dead, and the little brother born to my mother was also the child of my second uncle."

Shen Jianfeng looked at this little girl in surprise, and was glad that he didn't take out the twenty yuan.

"What's your name? How old is it? ”

"My name is Da Niu and I'm seven years old."

Shen Jianfeng nodded, "Then you know that your father is okay now, what do you want to do?" ”

The little girl looked at Shen Jianfeng calmly, "Uncle, can I go to my father?" ”

"No, you can't." Shen Jianfeng shook his head.

"Why?" The little girl asked calmly.

made Shen Jianfeng feel weirdly hungry, how could he have the feeling of talking to an adult? This girl is not what a seven-year-old country child should be.

"Big girl, why are you so different?"

"You're the second one to say that about me."

"Who's the first one?" Although I am in a hurry, this matter still has to be solved, the fellow is born and died outside and can't come back, he came by himself, and he can't pretend not to know if he knows about this matter.

"It's my aunt, I've always lived with her, and I heard that someone came to Cheng Erlin, so I came back to take a look."

"Can you take me to meet your aunt then?"

The little girl nodded, Shen Jianfeng followed her, and came to the northernmost part of the village, which was quite far away from other people's homes, very close to the river, and it didn't feel like a house in the village.

"Auntie, someone sent me a letter from my father." The little girl shouted as she entered the house.
