Zhu Yuliang's expression was stiff, and he smiled unnaturally: "You child..."

Zhu Yutian poked Zhu Qinghe's forehead with his finger, and cursed: "Little bastard, what do you know? Go back and lie down, don't embarrass me with a limping leg on the day of departure."

In front of outsiders, Zhu Yuliang hurriedly persuaded: "Second brother, why are you angry with the child? Qinghe, uncle is for your own good. Your parents will only farm the land in this life, and your two brothers will build a house when the time comes Marrying a daughter-in-law costs money, so where do you ask them to get it for you? The radio said that the economy in the south is doing well, there is gold everywhere, and the millions of households that can be counted are all in the south. You have a good brain, and in the future Maybe he's the richest man in the country."

No one knows what the south looks like better than Zhu Qinghe, where gold is everywhere?It's just to deceive the ignorant villagers.Once outside, most of the time can only be spent at the construction site full of yellow sand, repeating hard work, tired like a dog every day, even if there is a chance to make a fortune, I don't have the energy to go out and grab it.

In ten years or so, there will be earth-shaking changes in my hometown, no worse than in the south, no matter how much Zhu Qinghe spends his life trying, he will seize that opportunity to turn around, even if the king of heaven comes, don't let him be discouraged.

Teacher Wang frowned and looked at Zhu Yuliang: "Village Chief, I still hope that you can think about it carefully. If a child is young, his life will be ruined if he is sent out. The children in our village are no different from those in the city. As long as you work hard, you will be the same. Promising."

Zhu Qinghe's cold heart seemed to be wrapped in a warm current, his eyes were sore, he clenched his fists and said, "I listen to Teacher Wang, I'm not going anywhere, I want to go to school."

Zhu Yutian picked up the cane in his hand and greeted him: "I can't help you, I will make you disobedient."

Zhu Qinghe hid in embarrassment. He grinned his teeth in pain after being hit a few times. He was already injured. If he was beaten again, he might not even be able to move. Let go, and the father and son were at a stalemate for a moment.

Zhu Yuliang and Mr. Wang tried to persuade and pull, but they didn't pull them away, which made the tension even more tense.

"Uncle said that the south is full of gold, and the locals can't pick it up, so it's the outsider's turn? I don't want to carry bricks and mud bags for the rest of my life, and I don't want to leave early and return to the yellow land. I want to go to the county town, the provincial capital to see the big world. Dad, you can't stop me."

Zhu Yuliang listened to what he said clearly, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You have a big heart, and don't look at how angry your father is. It's not easy for him to drag you. You should think about your parents anyway." Think about it, you can’t just take care of yourself. If you want to raise your family, you don’t have to wait, and it’s too late to regret it.”

Zhu Yutian didn't expect that the always obedient boss would dare to contradict him in front of outsiders, his eyes were scarlet, and he was furious: "I even turned against him, such a disobedient son, how can I count on him when I am old. Don't talk about it, big brother, he gave me I, Zhu Yutian, won't be dishonest, and let him get the hell out of this house. Even if he goes abroad to study and has a future, I, Zhu Yutian, won't be dishonest. Don't ask me for money now, I don't have a son. "

Zhu Qinghe glanced outside the courtyard, and looked at Zhu Qingliang who subconsciously hid the things in his hands behind his back with a sneer.

Seeing something was wrong, Zhu's mother hurried over and pulled the father and son apart: "What are you doing? Is there anything you can't say properly? Qinghe, your brain was kicked by a donkey? Make it up to your father. Your brother is not in good health. There was no taste in his mouth, so Mom took him to the shop to buy some appetizing hawthorn slices, but you are still the big brother, why are you so small-minded? Clear, give your brother some."

After Zhu Ma finished speaking, she came to pull on her husband again, and said in a low voice: "If there is anything you can't say well, it's not embarrassing in front of Teacher Wang."

Zhu Yutian's heart was burning hot, and he pointed at Zhu Qinghe's nose and scolded: "If you want to stay in this house, go to the south obediently, or get out now, raising a pig is better than raising a white-eyed wolf like you .”

Zhu Qinghe didn't count on these so-called family members at all, and he still felt chills at this moment. He should have known that when it comes to money, they are enemies.The primary school in the village is free, and the junior high school has to pay three yuan for tuition and books for one semester. It is indeed a big expense for the peasant family, but the uncle is the head of the village, and he takes care of him openly and secretly. The family also has a lot of money a year. After living a whole life, I realized that my father didn't want to spend the money on him, so my heart was partial to Qingliang, because Qingliang would be the most promising person in the family, even my uncle believed in it, and he was usually used to Qingliang.

There is no family member here that he can rely on, and without thinking about it, he said: "I will not go to the south, listen to my father, I will leave this house."

Zhu's mother grabbed Zhu Qinghe and beat her head and face: "What are you crazy about? Why are you so ignorant of a good heart? How can an adult harm you? You don't believe outsiders? Why did I give birth to you? Something? I have to wake you up."

Zhu Yutian made up his mind to drive Zhu Qinghe out to fend for himself, and watched his wife beating him coldly: "Tell him to leave quickly, I don't want to see him again."

Zhu Ma didn't agree, she didn't dare to say anything even if the man stared at her, Zhu Yutian thought it was going to beat him to death, she was also afraid...

Teacher Wang was filled with guilt. It seemed that she had provoked all of this. She just felt that it was a pity for such a good seedling... Anxiously said to Zhu Yuliang, who had an ugly face: "Village chief, look at this, it's my fault." , I shouldn’t, please persuade me quickly, it’s all flesh and blood, if it’s really kicked out, how much will it hurt?”

Zhu Qinghe raised his hand to touch the blood spot on his face that was caught by Zhu's mother, hissed in pain, and did not forget to comfort the anxious Teacher Wang, saying that she was not to blame for this matter at all, and she was also kind. It was too late for him to be grateful.

Zhu Yutian blocked the elder brother's words, picked up Zhu Qinghe's collar and dragged him away, Zhu Qinghe struggled to break free: "I will go by myself, I don't need to use my strength."

Zhu Yutian didn't expect that he really had such a backbone, and there were mixed feelings in his heart. The courtyard was already full of people, pointing and pointing, making Zhu Yutian's face black.

During this period of time, Zhu Qinghe had already thought about the way out, and he didn't take what outsiders said at all.This family is not worthy of his nostalgia. In the previous life, they only regarded him as a tool to make money, and when he was useless, they would cruelly leave him alone. It would be better if they separated earlier, so as to save time from being unclear.

There is an abandoned field and a few dilapidated houses on the mountain not far away. No one has taken care of them for several years. The wild vegetables and fruits on the mountain satisfy his hunger, and he can survive alone in an unfamiliar place, let alone here where he has lived since he was a child.

People outside the yard pointed at him and scolded him, saying that he dared to fight against his parents at a young age, and it would definitely not be a good thing when he grows up. Only Aunt Fuman stood in the crowd and stretched his neck and asked, "Brother Yutian, what do you guys do?" Is the family separated? Then Qinghe can't just leave the house with both hands empty-handed. What's the matter with adults bullying children? No matter how shameless Qinghe is, he should have his share in everything in this house. Qinghe, You silly boy, what's the use of having a backbone, you'll know when you're hungry, and it's not too late to leave after you divide the property."

Zhu Qinghe really didn't expect this. Hearing what Aunt Fuman said, he remembered that in his previous life he had lost his leg because of his family. At this time, he should share some things for emergency. He turned around and said, "Father, I think what Auntie said is right. It makes sense, we can't just leave like this. As far back as I can remember, you and Mom quietly bought delicious food and new clothes for Qingliang, and I didn't say anything. Also your son."

Everyone can see that the elder Zhu and his wife are biased towards the younger son. It would be unfair to let Zhu Qinghe go out like this.Zhu Yutian was really in a dilemma. His elder brother was the village chief. If he hadn't been worried about his elder brother's bad looks, the child would have been sent away long ago.

When I was in trouble, my father came out from the main room, took a puff of cigarettes, looked at Zhu Qinghe outside the yard and said, "This is the old family's business. I don't want to get involved, but I can't let the old Zhu's bear the burden." Infamy for bullying the child, give him an acre of land, and give him the old cave dwelling where our family used to live at the foot of the mountain. Now that the distinction is clear, life or death in the future has nothing to do with our old Zhu family. It's gone, the family is unlucky, what's there to see?"

The corners of Zhu Qinghe's mouth turned up. It was this old man who ruined his life. They all showed sadness on their faces, and they should be proud in their hearts.He walked out of the crowd and was about to go to the old cave, but he was dazzled by a pair of clear eyes. The boy who was half a head shorter than him stood behind the crowd, met his eyes, looked straight at him without blinking. don't blink.

Zhu Qinghe recognized this boy in plaid overalls. He was Teacher Wang's son. He was studying in Beijing and was on summer vacation, so he came to live with him for two days.Zhu Qinghe smiled at him, turned around and was about to leave. He walked over and raised his head and said, "My dad sent a letter from Beijing. When will my mom come out?"

Zhu Qinghe didn't want to step into that unpleasant courtyard again, but he couldn't bear to reject these clean and clear eyes, so he turned around and walked back, and stood outside the courtyard and said to Teacher Wang who was talking to the village chief: "Mr. Wang, you My son is looking for you."

Zhu Ma came out of the house with red eyes, put the clothes he often wore into the bag and stuffed them for him: "Sooner or later, when you cry, don't come back to us, and don't think that I will secretly stuff things for you. "

Zhu Qinghe grinned, without any nostalgia: "No, don't worry. Mom, take care of yourself, I'm leaving."

The boy stood outside and waited, Zhu Qinghe said with a smile: "Just wait a little longer, Teacher Wang should come out soon."

Zhu Qinghe was pointed and pointed at by everyone along the way. He was in such a mood that he didn't care about it. He even forgot his injuries. When he walked to a place where there were few people, he heard light footsteps following him all the time. He turned around and asked curiously: "Ruan Mu, why are you following me? Don't make your mother worry."

The expression on Ruan Mu's face was very indifferent, like strands of floating clouds in the sky, and even his voice was not salty: "I have nothing to do, I want to play with you."

Ruan Mu was only ten years old at this time, Zhu Qinghe recalled that in his previous life, he was much colder than now, his eyes stretched into the sky, if he hadn't been bitten by a snake that time, Zhu Qinghe picked the snake away with a stick to save him, maybe they wouldn't have Had the opportunity to talk, and finally got to know him a little better, and he returned to Beijing not long after, and he himself got on the train going south, and we haven't seen each other since.

"What fun can I have here? The broken cave dwelling has been uninhabited for many years. There may be a nest of snakes and rats living in it. Be careful to bite your ass."

Ruan Mu walked beside him, looked up and saw that he had a smirk on his face, and also smiled: "I just want to see what the cave dwellings dug against the mountain looked like in the past. The book says it's warm in winter and cool in summer. Is it cold in there?"

It’s time to talk, Zhu Qinghe has also come here to play in the past few years, the weeds have grown wildly, and sheep manure can be seen faintly, he handed the burden to Ruan Mu, squatted down enduring the pain, and weeded the weeds neatly, He has been doing these jobs since he was five years old: "You wait outside, don't get your clothes dirty."

Most of the weeds in the yard have very strong roots, and some are difficult to pull out.Ruan Muqian stood there, staring at him, his clothes were wet with sweat, he squatted halfway in the tall grass, his black hair looming: "You will have no family in the future, how will you live?"

It would be much more convenient to have a shovel or a sickle. Just now, my hand was accidentally strangled by a rattan grass. It was burning hot, and it was so hot that I was a little dizzy. Hearing Ruan Mu's question suddenly, he was stunned for a while, and stood up. He got up and stretched his sore waist, pursed his lips and said, "Aren't I just living a life now? I'm clean by myself, and I don't need to be called out to work while I'm reading."

Ruan Mu looked up at the gloomy dark room, and said, "The electricity isn't even connected. You'll have to buy two candles before you can read."
