Xue Ming's aunt is named Liu Yuehong. She is in her fifties and has triangular eyes. She is jumping around in the yard and complaining that my mother is unfair.

"When I left home, my dowry was only five kilograms of sweet potato noodles. When your mother left home, her dowry was one foot of red cloth and fifty kilograms of cornmeal. Your family has taken all the benefits. Now that she can't move, she thinks about her eldest daughter. I won’t go to your house to see what happens.”

This was not a human language, and Xue Ming was too lazy to talk nonsense to her, "My grandma has a treasure in her hand. If you want it, come to my house tomorrow. If you don't go, you will regret it."

"What kind of shameful treasure can she have? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?" Liu Yuehong jumped up and screamed again.

Xue Ming got on his bicycle and left. Liu Yuehong's unforgiving aura suddenly disappeared. She frowned and thought hard about what treasure the old lady could have.

Shen Hongbing, the eldest uncle who had not spoken to Xue Ming, came over and asked his wife, "Is Xue Ming tricking us? Does your old lady really have a treasure in her hands?"

"When he said this, I remembered that my father seemed to have given my mother a roll of parchment when he died. Could it be that the treasure Xue Ming mentioned was the parchment?" Liu Yuehong said in a low voice.

"Sheepskin is not a treasure. I have heard that some people draw maps on sheepskin..." Shen Hongbing suddenly cried out, "The old man in the village said that there are treasures confiscated by the Japanese in the big forest of the commune. Your father was also captured by the Japanese." After seizing the gun tower repairer, is that parchment a treasure map for the Japanese?"

"Yes, why didn't I expect that? My father did build turrets for the Japanese when he was young." Liu Yuehong looked excited for a moment, "My father didn't let us know when he gave my mother the map. I heard it from my aunt later. "

"That's definitely true. We will serve the old lady tomorrow. The devil's treasure cannot be cheap to just a few of them." Shen Hongbing clapped his thighs and prepared to be a filial child.

If Xue Ming was here, he would definitely admire their imagination. He deliberately deceived them about the treasure in the old lady's hand, in order to let the old lady feel the filial piety of her children and walk out the last part of her life happily.

The second aunt, third aunt, and second uncle all jumped three feet high. When they heard that they were asked to wait on the old man in front of the hospital bed, they jumped up and down. They all said that the old man was partial to other brothers and sisters.

Xue Ming still used the same trick, saying that grandma has a treasure in her hand. I don’t know if these unfilial sons believe it or not.

The only normal people were uncle Liu Jianqiang and aunt, who promised to go and serve the old man tomorrow without saying anything.

"I thought you had moved out of Guangming County, but I didn't expect that you had been renting a house in the town. I went to your brigade to inquire, and they didn't even know where you were." Liu Jianqiang was filled with emotion.

"The situation was urgent and I didn't have time to tell you. How are you and your aunt doing?" Xue Ming said.

Liu Jianqiang shook his head, "Wang Xiaoer's New Year is not as good as the previous one. The canteen of our brigade has been closed long ago. Many people went to the city to beg. Some people have not come back yet. I can barely survive watching the carpentry skills." Starving.”

"It's a good thing not to go hungry. You can't expect too much these days." Xue Ming comforted his uncle with a smile.

"As long as you don't starve to death, not everyone can hunt and live a good life like you." Liu Jianqiang was a little happy when he said this. He often boasted about how capable his nephew Xue Ming was outside.

"Let's go and bring your grandma to my house. I can't let her die in a foreign country." Liu Jianqiang said and went to pack the carriage at home.

Xue Ming suddenly realized that he had overlooked an issue. The Pei family's old house was a rented house, and funerals could not be reported in the rented house. Pei Lin would definitely not agree.

Liu Jianqiang's family only has three adobe houses. It would be inconvenient to have more children living in the house. Xue Ming shook his head and said, "Don't grandma have an old house? Drag her to the old house."

"Forget it, the old house collapsed in a heavy rain less than a month after you left. It's really unlucky." Liu Jianqiang sighed.

"Let that dilapidated house collapse. We will repair it when life is better in the future. Let grandma come to my house. My house has a big place." Xue Ming secretly said that he was lucky.

The uncle and nephew drove the car back to Guangming Town. When they arrived at the Pei family's old house, they saw Pei Lin standing at the gate.

"I just came here not long ago." Pei Lin looked at Liu Jianqiang and pulled Xue Ming away for two steps. "Did your sister-in-law say that the old lady is dying?"

Xue Ming immediately understood what he meant and took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and gave them to him, "Let's go back to our hometown for a while. Could you please take the time to help me clean up?"

"No problem, I'll take care of it." Pei Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Xue Ming didn't understand the ways of the world, and no one wanted an outsider to die in their home.

Pei Lin took the key and left. The family packed up their belongings and prepared to go home. The younger brothers and sisters actually cheered happily.

Xue Ming returned to the old house in Zhaocun first and took out tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans and other daily necessities from the space. Two hours later, the empty house finally looked like a home.

Suddenly Zhao Tian opened the door and came into the yard carrying a broom. The two looked at each other quietly. Xue Ming smiled slightly and spoke first, "Uncle Zhao, the old branch secretary, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Long time no see, you're back." A wry smile appeared on Zhao Tian's face, "Your aunt and I come here to clean up whenever we have time these days. I knew you would definitely come back."

"Uncle, thank you for your hard work. Life at home can be pretty good." Xue Ming suddenly felt that this little old man was quite pitiful. He had been raped from the brigade secretary to the bottom, and he was also a victim of the times.

"It will take two hours a day." Zhao Tian was open-minded. He chatted with Xue Ming for a few words and then helped clean up the yard.

Former brigade captain Sun Yuhou and former brigade accountant Zhou Mengmeng came after hearing the news. Sun Yuhou was also filled with emotion, "Good boy, you won't leave when you come back this time, right?"

"Who knows? Who are the current brigade cadres?" Xue Ming estimates that his family will have to move to the provincial capital in at most two months. By then, his mother and eldest sister will work as sales assistants in the provincial capital department store.

"The current cadres are all from Gaocun in the west, and the party secretary is Gao Laoba, the former security guard. The commune has also changed to a new leader, and he doesn't trust us Zhaocun people." Zhao Tian said.

Gaocun and Zhaocun both belong to the Zhaocun brigade, and Xue Ming is not in the mood to pay attention to the cadre change. Everyone is chatting and cleaning up the house.

With more people and more strength, the house was quickly tidied up, and it took a lot of effort to move tables and beds. Of course, Xue Ming didn't let them work in vain and gave them the meeting gifts prepared in advance.

Five kilograms of wheat per person improved their lives, and the veteran cadres all burst into tears of gratitude. These days, having a meal of white flour steamed buns is a great way to celebrate the New Year.

"I heard that the people's inventor of our brigade is back!" Loud laughter sounded outside the yard, and the brigade party secretary Gao Laoba came to visit with the new leadership team members.
