The siblings were sitting in the yard playing games.

As he was playing vigorously, the cell phone on the stone table suddenly rang.

This mobile phone belongs to Grandma Shen and is not commonly used. Basically only Shen Qiuqiu and Shen Jiashu can call it.

Shen Qiuqiu has been at home during this period, and the phone has not rang for a long time.

Shen Qiuqiu tilted her head and glanced, it was a strange local number.

She clicked answer and turned on the speakerphone, "Hello, hello."

No one spoke for a long time. Shen Qiuqiu thought the caller had made a mistake and was about to hang up when the person on the other side of the phone suddenly spoke.

"Hey, it's Xiaohua, I'm your little aunt."

Shen Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, and Shen Jiashu's fingers paused with his skills.

"Oh oh oh, I'm dead, brother, brother!"

With Li Mao's wailing voice in the team's voice, the Kaihei team experienced its first overturn tonight.

"Aced! (Team destroyed)"

But Shen Qiuqiu couldn't care less.

The person on the phone who said she was Aunt Shen Qiuqiu was the youngest daughter of Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen.

In addition to Shen Qiuqiu's father, the old couple also has two daughters.

The eldest daughter, Shen Fang, has a high school degree and was married in the county town. The couple both received public food; the younger daughter, Shen Xiu, was not as promising as her elder sister and married a farmer in Nanwan Village in a neighboring town.

In the early years, the two daughters had a good relationship with their natal family, and they would go back to Qinghe Village every year and festival.

Later, Shen Qiuqiu's father passed away, and a series of changes occurred in the family. The family became impoverished, destitute, and owed a lot of foreign debt.

In the first few months, the two daughters would come back from time to time to bring some things to support their parents' family.

A poor family is full of sorrow; a poor person has no relatives in front of his door.

How can two old men live a comfortable life with two small oil bottles?

As time went by, the two daughters' husband-in-laws became more and more dissatisfied, and they were deeply afraid that they would be tainted by this poor relative and bring down the whole family.

Shen Fang's mother-in-law shouted for her son to divorce, and Shen Xiu's mother-in-law made a fuss about drinking pesticides. The whole family was in an uproar.

Gradually, there were more and more complaints, the family ties became weaker and weaker, and Shen Fang and Shen Xiu gradually lost contact with their natal family.

At that time, communication and transportation were not developed. Although they were only a few dozen kilometers apart, if they were not in contact for a long time, the family would become farther and farther apart.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen seemed to have forgotten that they had these two daughters, and they never mentioned them at home.

But how can any parent not miss their children? It was for their own good that we broke off contact with them.

Shen Qiuqiu has seen many times, grandma wiping tears alone in front of old photos at home...

When Shen Qiuqiu was a child, she didn't understand this, and she still resented her two aunts for being cruel.

As I grew up and became familiar with the ways of the world, I stopped complaining.

In this matter, I really can’t tell who is right and who is wrong. A poor family suffers from everything. Many times, poverty is the original sin.

After Shen Qiuqiu went to college, the situation at home improved a lot.

Taking advantage of the vacation, she made a special trip to find Shen Fang and Shen Xiu, hoping to untie their years of knots and get back together with their relatives.

But it didn't go smoothly.

Shen Fang's home is located in a high-end residential area in the county town. Security guards block the entrance and do not allow outsiders to enter at all;

The next day, she found Shen Fang's unit again.

The person met, but Shen Fang was very impatient. After saying a few words, he took out a hundred yuan and was about to send her away.

Shen Qiuqiu didn't ask for her money, but gave her her grandma's phone number, hoping that she could call her home when she had time.

Shen Fang accepted it, turned around and threw the note into the trash can at the door of her unit.

When we went to Shen Xiu's house, Shen Xiu's attitude was slightly better.

However, Shen Xiu did not dare to let Shen Qiuqiu in because she was worried about her mother-in-law being at home. Instead, she pulled her and stood at the entrance of the village and talked for a while.

Before leaving, Shen Qiuqiu invited Shen Xiu to return to Qinghe Village with him.

Shen Xiu hesitated for a while, but still refused.

Shen Qiuqiu said nothing more and only left her grandma's phone number.

This was all several years ago.

During this period, Shen Qiuqiu went to find them twice more, but returned without success each time.

Shen Fang's husband was promoted, and the family's life became better and better. After so many years, Shen Fang's affection for her parents had long since disappeared, and she no longer wanted to have anything to do with Qinghe Village;

As for Shen Xiu, she still misses her parents in her heart, but she is timid and has been tortured by her parents-in-law and husband, so she dare not contact her family at all.

…

After recovering from the memories, Shen Qiuqiu no longer cares about the game and hurriedly ran to the main room with his mobile phone.

"Grandma, grandma, my little aunt called."

On the TV, a young couple was quarreling and about to get a divorce. The father-in-law and father-in-law were trying to make peace, and the mother-in-law and mother-in-law were trying to persuade each other and almost got into a fight. It was such a noisy scene.

Grandma Shen was looking very attentively. After hearing what her granddaughter said, she didn't even react for a moment.

"who?"

On the phone, my aunt Shen Xiu's voice came out, "Mom, I'm Axiu."

His voice was slightly trembling and choked, and he seemed very excited.

It has been more than ten years since anyone called me "Mom".

Grandma Shen looked at Shen Qiuqiu in disbelief, then grabbed the mobile phone in her hand and held it tightly.

Tears flowed out in a flash.

"Axiu...is it really you? Is it really my little girl?"

Grandpa Shen was also so excited that he burst into tears. He walked over in a few steps and shouted into the phone, "Axiu, it's really my Axiu. Her voice hasn't changed at all."

On the other end of the phone, Shen Xiu's voice changed from choking to sobbing.

"Dad, your voice hasn't changed at all. It's just that it's a little hoarse. You must have smoked a lot these years..."

The old man in his sixties had tears all over his face, but he smiled like a child.

"No, I smoke less. Your mother is in charge of me."

The old couple cried into tears on the phone. Shen Qiuqiu silently left the main room and let them talk slowly.

In the yard, Shen Jiashu had put down his cell phone.

He was looking at the moon in the sky in trance.

Shen Qiuqiu patted his shoulder and said, "What are you thinking about? Boys should be more sunny and don't pretend to be serious at all times."

Shen Jiashu turned his head, with a bright and sunny smile on his face. After a second, his face changed again, looking very serious and serious.

"Sister, no matter what happens in the future, we will always be siblings. Grandpa, grandma, you and me, we will always be a family."

In front of Shen Qiuqiu, Shen Jiashu has always been an obedient and sensible brother. He only obeys his sister's orders and is rarely so serious.

The incident between Shen Fang and Shen Xiu touched him deeply.

He didn't understand why his relatives, whose blood was thicker than water, ended up becoming like strangers.

He has not yet entered society and does not understand the sadness and helplessness of adults.

Seeing the stubborn and serious look of the young man in front of her, Shen Qiuqiu burst into tears for no reason and stepped forward to hug him.

"Well, we will always be a family."
