On the way to eldest brother's house, many fellow villagers recognized Sanwazi and greeted him one after another.

"Sanwazi is here."

"Guoquan, this kid has grown up so fast."

The people in the village knew that this child was Guozheng's child and was adopted by Guoquan. The people in the village praised Guoquan as a good boy, and the two brothers above were incomparable.

"Uncle, we are playing here. I will go to my eldest brother's house first."

"Go quickly, it's very cold outside."

When he arrived at his eldest brother's house, it was just as he had guessed. His father was sitting at the door of his eldest brother's house. However, looking at him, he felt a little strange, an indescribable feeling.

Zhang Guoquan clearly saw his father. Except for the increase in white hair on his head, there was not much change.

He saw it clearly, and he was very convinced that his father also saw him and Sanwazi.

The old man and the young man all looked at each other. The old man's cloudy eyes looked away as if nothing happened.

Not only was Dad surprised when he saw him, he should say hello anyway, just like most of the folks in the village said polite words, and casually said, Sanwazi is here.

Since he is a son who was sent away, he can no longer be considered his biological son, so it is normal to say polite words.

But my father didn't say anything. He just pretended not to see a stranger passing by and ignored him.

Zhang Guoquan suddenly wanted to be angry and laugh at the same time. He felt that his father was acting like a child because he hadn't seen him for a long time and was trying to show off to him.

Even though you are a son who has been sent away, you are still from Xikou Village. How can you not go home and have a look?

When Zhang Guoquan thought like this, he felt happy for a moment. Although his father didn't want him to come, it was because he was afraid that he would be angry at his father-in-law's family. In front of him, his father deliberately put on a face, but actually he still hoped that he could come back to see him.

.

Zhang Guoquan hurriedly pulled the driver over and asked his father to show off to him. As a son, he couldn't show off to him.

When he arrived, he shouted: "Dad, I'm here to see you."

Dad just turned around, stared at Zhang Guoquan, said nothing, and turned his head elsewhere.

At this time, Zhang Guoquan was a little incomprehensible. What's wrong with dad? He's old and his ears don't work well.

Zhang Guoquan quickly picked up little Zhaoyang, raised his voice and said loudly: "Dad, look who I brought here. Your grandson, Zhaoyang, is here, and White Pigeon is here too."

Bai Ge also shouted from the car: "Xiao Zhaoyang, call me grandpa quickly."

The father turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhaoyang who was scratching his hands. He finally had some reaction and just said calmly: "Hey, okay, okay."

The reaction was not big, and it even made people feel that this should not be the reaction of a grandfather. They said that they were relatives from another generation. This is Guozheng's child. Dad's reaction was really inappropriate.

"The whole nation is here."

The eldest brother came out from inside.

"Brother." Zhang Guoquan greeted.

"Look, why are you running all the way here?"

"It's Chinese New Year, come back and have a look."

"It's hard to walk on the road. It's been snowing these past few days. Fortunately, it stopped today. Come on, come inside quickly."

The eldest brother pulled Zhang Guoquan and was very enthusiastic. He had not seen the third brother for a long time and he was also panicking.

Zhang Guoquan did not enter the room directly, but looked at his dazed father and asked: "Brother, what's wrong with dad? Does he have any prejudice against me? Why is there no reaction at all when I come here?"

"Hey, you don't know, Dad doesn't recognize anyone."

"You don't recognize anyone? What do you mean?"

"It's Alzheimer's disease. Forget about you. I live with him every day and he doesn't even recognize me."

"This? When did it happen?" Zhang Guoquan looked at his father. When his elder brother said this, he realized that it was indeed the same symptom as Alzheimer's disease. When his cloudy eyes looked away, his eyes were slack and dull.

It seemed like he didn't care to take a second look at anything.

"When winter first came, it wasn't that serious at first. It was good and bad. As you know, this winter is very cold. But since it got cold, it suddenly became like this. I don't know anyone."

The eldest brother explained in a very sad tone.

"Maybe he was frozen. It's my fault, because the eldest brother didn't take good care of daddy." The eldest brother said guiltily.

"I don't blame your brother. No one can do anything about this disease. Misfortunes never come singly. If Guozheng is gone, my mother will not be well. The family is like this all of a sudden. No matter how strong my father is, he won't be able to bear it for a long time. I should come and see him more often."

Daddy."

Zhang Guoquan also felt guilty for his father's appearance. He should come and see his father more often. Even if he said a few words or was scolded or beaten by his father, he didn't want to see it.

Such a dad.

Fate, dad always said everything is fate, is this dad’s life?

As for Guozheng's life, it can be said that it has continued. With Xiao Zhaoyang and pension, the eldest brother and the second brother are willing to take care of their father.

Guozheng exerted his last bit of enthusiasm, which was the only comfort for this family.

Zhang Guoquan turned his back, feeling sour in his heart. He raised his head and looked at the gray sky, fearing that tears would fall.

With his father in such a state, Zhang Guoquan was no longer prepared to stay and continue eating. He wanted to go back to Yangjiazhuang, but his elder brother would not let him go no matter what.

"It's so hard to come here and leave without eating. People don't laugh at me as the eldest brother."

Zhang Guoquan had no choice but to stay and take the New Year's goods prepared in the car to his eldest brother's house. He did not forget to tell his eldest brother to ask his second brother to take some back later, but I would not go.

Visiting relatives in other people's homes was a joy, but he had a rather unpleasant meal. For the first time in Xikou Village, in the home where he grew up, and in his elder brother's home, he felt restrained.

After that hot New Year's dinner, he knew that Xikou Village was no longer his home.

Didn't my sister-in-law also say that it's fine for dad to live here, but he can't do it alone when he's older. As for dad's old house, he's planning to renovate it, and then it will be used as a new house for his children to marry their wives.

The child she mentioned was her own child, not the child of Guozheng's family, but Zhang Guoquan's nephew.

Zhang Guoquan understood that his sister-in-law was deliberately trying to test him.

What he could say was that it was your family's business and had nothing to do with me. Let's discuss it with my second brother and you two.

On the way back, the snow was deep and the cold wind was biting. Zhang Guoquan kept his head down and pulled hard on the car. He was silent all the way, but Bai Ge secretly wiped away his tears. She felt sad for Guoquan.

Since then, Bai Ge's heart has suddenly become stronger. This kind of strength is incomparable to before.

In the past, Guo Quan was there, and her strength was built on Guo Quan. No matter what, Guo Quan was there to support her. She couldn't be hungry or wet, so she just had to do what she could.
