Ziyin Village is a very common mountain village, but it is different from other developed villages. There are no common cement houses or various factories. Almost all the houses are tile-roofed houses. Of course, there are occasionally a few
A tall blue brick and stone house. Since there are no factories here, the mountains here are particularly beautiful and the water is particularly clear. The villagers who grew up in such a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters are not only beautiful, but also kind and simple. They have become
I am used to the days when the sun rises and goes to bed when the sun sets, and I seem to be indifferent to the world.
As the sun sets, the beautiful red and yellow colors illuminate the entire mountain village in a golden light, giving people a dreamlike feeling. White smoke curls up from the chimneys of each house, filling the air with a simple flavor.
The housewives of various families have begun to call the men chatting and resting in the courtyard and the children chasing the puppies that it is time to go home for dinner. This peaceful smell is repeated in this countryside day after day, year after year, no matter what.
No one wants to ruin this atmosphere.
A middle-aged man with a very honest appearance said hello to his friends, hummed a little tune, and walked on the country road on his way home. He saw his wife standing in front of his house and his junior high school student next semester.
San's youngest daughter, as well as the big yellow dog at home that kept wagging its tail at him, couldn't help grinning: "I said the child's mother is already an old married woman, why are you still welcoming me at the door so enthusiastically?
Huh?" The big yellow dog heard its owner's voice, barked and came up to him affectionately, so that the middle-aged man had to stroke the big yellow dog's head first.
The middle-aged woman and the little girl look very similar, and both are very beautiful. Not only is it difficult to see such beauties in the countryside, it is also very rare in big cities. The woman has not spoken yet, and the beautiful little girl is very beautiful.
The girl pouted her small lips and said, "Dad, who is waiting for you? Mom and I are waiting for my brother."
The middle-aged man suddenly realized and patted his head: "I asked you how could you be so good? It turns out that you are waiting for my good son. Hahaha, dad will wait with you." The middle-aged man came to the table beside the door.
He sat down on the desk, took out his cigarette bag, picked up some tobacco, and rolled it up with a piece of cigarette paper.
The girl hurriedly came forward, obediently took the match from the middle-aged man, and lit a cigarette for the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man took a puff of the cigarette, touched the girl's head lovingly and said: "Haha, still better
The daughter of my Chen family is the most filial daughter in the village."
"Dad, from what you said, how can any of your own family members praise their own family members?" The girl glared at her father with a coquettish look.
The middle-aged man glanced at his wife cheerfully. The beautiful middle-aged woman smiled kindly and said softly: "You guys wait here, I'll bring the food back and heat it up." After that,
After returning to the house, the big yellow dog greeted its owner, then lay down at the middle-aged man's feet and closed its eyes.
The girl squatted on the ground, looking at the dim rural road in the distance. She pulled out a piece of grass and played with it out of boredom, and asked the middle-aged man: "Dad, tell me, after my brother went to school to get his diploma..."
Of course, the Chen family knew that this was not what their daughter was worried about, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your father and I still have enough money to support you two brothers and sisters through high school. I won't be like those ignorant guys who think that just finishing junior high school will be enough."
Yeah. You have to know that it’s impossible to live in this world without knowledge!”
The girl got busy and took Chen's hand and said reluctantly: "Dad, I didn't say this. I was talking about why my brother hasn't come back so late." But looking at her happy look, we can know that she promised her father that she would read.
How happy it is to graduate from high school.
"Haha, girl, as long as you can study well, let alone high school, even college, your father and I will have money for you to go to school!" the Chen family said proudly.
When the girl heard this, she was startled and said in a panic: "Dad, you..."
Of course, the Chen family knew why their daughter was panicking. He patted his daughter's head happily and said proudly: "Girl, do you look down on your father and your mother? You know those fruit trees and fishing ponds that you and your brother helped take care of this summer vacation?"
Whose is it? It belongs to you, me and your mother!"
The girl asked in disbelief: "Dad, aren't those thousands of fruit trees and acres of fish ponds shared by the village?"
"Hehe, your father and I have contracted them this year. Hehe, I tell you secretly, don't tell your brother. Your father and I have deposited this amount in the bank." The Chen family shook their hands mysteriously.
"Five thousand?" the girl asked in surprise.
"Bah! Five thousand is not enough to pay for those fruit trees. Did your father and your mother work so hard for so long and save so much money?" The Chen family said dissatisfied.
"Fifty...fifty thousand!" The little girl covered her mouth in surprise.
The Chen family was very satisfied with their daughter's expression and nodded proudly: "Yes, it's fifty thousand. This fifty thousand is a fund specially reserved for your two brothers and sisters to study. So you can go to school with confidence. It's best for me to study as a doctoral student."
Come back! By the way, don’t tell your brother about this.”
The little girl nodded at first, but then immediately asked suspiciously: "Dad, why can't you tell my brother? My brother is very economical on food and money in school. He wears school uniforms, and I heard that he also delivers newspapers for others.
Earn some change."
"Oh? Make some change by delivering newspapers?" The Chen family smiled happily.
"Yes, brother, he is worried that it will be difficult for his family to support his studies. Hasn't he asked you for money except for tuition?" The little girl is a little unworthy of her brother. Although fifty thousand is not a lot, it can be said to be a lot in this mountain village.
A rich man.
For the first time, Chen's family felt heartbroken. He never knew that his son had to work so hard outside. He thought that the money given to him every semester, in addition to paying tuition fees, would be enough to last until the end of the semester. After all this time, his son had no idea.
I have never complained to my family, and my daughter may have dared to tell her this only after knowing the family situation. No wonder my two children rarely ask for money from their families. It seems that my daughter has learned from her brother as a role model.
When the little girl saw her father in a daze, she couldn't help but touch him and called him "Dad" nervously. When the Chen family woke up, they suddenly raised their heads and burst out laughing. After a while, they said to their daughter who was looking at her in panic: "Very good.
These are the descendants of my Chen family. Girl, it’s not that your father is deliberately trying to embarrass your brother. Our Chen family has had this family motto of surviving in difficulties since ancient times. I think when I was young, wasn’t it the same?
Did your grandfather restrict the economy? If you want to survive, you have to rely on your own hands." Having said this, the Chen family looked at the sunset that had already set halfway and sighed.
The little girl stared blankly at her father. It was not until this day that she realized that her father was not as much of a farmer as he appeared to be. Because would a farmer have such a family motto? Can a farmer have such words?
The little girl shook her head. She didn't want to think so much. Anyway, as long as she knew that this man was her father, that would be fine.
She stamped her feet dissatisfied and said, "Dad, you are partial!"
The Chen family was surprised and pointed at their noses with their fingers and said, "Am I biased? Where am I biased?"
"Humph! You said you're not biased. You do this to your brother and you do that to me. What's not partiality? I want you to treat me the same way you treat your brother!" the little girl said angrily.
The Chen family comforted and touched the little girl's head and said with a smile: "Okay, my little girl has finally grown up." At this point, the Chen family sighed again: "Hey, your brother is good at everything, but he is too weak.
, not like a man at all.”
"Huh, brother is not weak. I don't know how strong I am. I am the best." The little girl said with a pout.
"Haha, of course I know that he is very strong inside, but I am talking about his appearance now. Not to mention that he is weak on the outside, and he is not very willing to talk. If he were not still studying now, I would have kicked him to death
Go outside and let him train himself. Otherwise, how can he be qualified to be the heir of my Chen family?"
The little girl couldn't recall these words, so she had to look at the rural road in the distance without saying a word. Suddenly she cheered in surprise: "Brother is back!"
The Chen family looked up and saw a thin figure walking slowly towards this side under the sunset. The big yellow dog at the feet of the Chen family immediately stood up, barked happily and rushed towards the figure. Of course.
The little girl was not slow either, she even ran ahead.
The Chen family rolled up a cigarette again, lit it and took a puff, then slowly stood up and looked at the figure getting closer and closer. This was a boy who was only over 1.6 meters tall, with a
He is wearing a white shirt that is a little yellowish in color, and a pair of black trousers that are a little white in color. It can be seen from this clothes that his body is very weak. His appearance cannot be seen clearly because he is lowering his head and stroking
He held the head of the big yellow dog who greeted him warmly by his side.
"Brother." The little girl's call made him raise his head. Those who saw him immediately brightened up. He was an extremely handsome young man. If it weren't for the simple and honest features unique to country people on his face,
, just the shy look between his eyebrows can already make him look like a beautiful underage girl. Don’t you see the little girl holding his hand and standing together, like a pair of beautiful sisters?
When the Chen family saw their son's weak demeanor, they couldn't help but sigh. They turned back to their wife, who was holding her hands in her apron and looking at her with a smile, and shook her head with a wry smile.
The beautiful woman glared at him with a smile and said softly: "Why don't you go pick up your son?" The Chen family nodded, took a step forward while chewing a cigarette. The young man had already seen the Chen family and the beautiful woman. He was busy dragging him away.
He followed his sister and took two quick steps to the Chen family. He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Dad, I'm back."
