The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

"Grandpa, I'm already awake, I'm the one who dragged him down." Xu Minqing's obedient voice followed.

"You child can't say that, Xingda and his wife love you no less than your elder brother, and the uncle Bei boy knows it too, but he can't bear you to suffer, you can't say that, it hurts your elder brother's heart. "Grandpa's disapproving voice.

"That's right, who doesn't know that we Minqing are the most promising, in the future, brothers and sisters will support each other, and we will always be able to live well." The eldest grandma also comforted.

When Xu Bei came out, he saw an old man with a goatee and wearing patched clothes, walking in with his hands behind his back. Behind him was a woman with gray hair, who was the grandpa and his wife in his memory. Xu Bei echoed: "Grandpa Grandma is right, Min Qing and I are brothers, if I disregard my younger brother, I believe that my parents will not be at peace underground, so Min Qing should not say such things in the future. Grandpa, Grandma, sit in the house."

The grandpa stroked his goatee and looked Xu Bei up and down in relief: "It's good to wake up, my face is much better than before, the past is over, people have to look forward, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome."

"You guys have a conversation with the old man, I'll go to the kitchen." The grandma looked at the two brothers kindly, patted the clothes and went to the kitchen to take over Xu Bei's job.I muttered in my heart, God really didn't open my eyes, the nephew and daughter-in-law were the only ones in that family who were sensible, who knew that something happened, leaving behind two poor children who were kicked out by the unscrupulous mother-in-law and daughter-in-law .

Xu Minqing carefully helped his elder brother to sit on the stool, went to the kitchen and poured out a bowl of water for his grandpa, and then stood by his side. Since his parents were gone, he was afraid that his elder brother would lose his eyes too. , gone in the blink of an eye.

"Boy Bei, what are your plans?" The grandpa couldn't help but ask as he looked at the impoverished room. His brother was soft-hearted, and he had been controlled by a woman for so many years. After he passed away, the woman would become even more cruel He didn't even care about his own grandchildren, and the relationship with his brother's family has become more and more estranged these years, and the grandfather has no complaints in his heart.

"Grandpa, I've thought about it. I want to sell the two acres of land in my hand and get some money to start a small business." After receiving the original body's memory, Xu Bei thought about his way out. He was also born in a rural area in modern times. However, he left the countryside a long time ago to go to the city, and he also broke into a not-too-bad industry. Now that he is allowed to stay in the countryside and depend on the sky, he is really not used to it, so he might as well go back to his old profession.

What's more, with only two acres of Susukida, can they really support themselves and Minqing?The annual tax alone can drive them to death, and they don’t want to miss Min Qing’s book anymore. What’s the way out? This is not in line with Xu Bei's temperament.

"Sell the land?!" The grandfather was taken aback, and his voice was raised. Unless the farmer can't survive, there is no way he would want to sell the land. Only a prodigal would do such a thing.

But after thinking about it again, isn't it impossible to survive? Look at the two children who are getting weaker and weaker, can they really survive on these two acres of land?And seeing that boy Bei is also at the age of marriage, relying on these two acres of Susukida to have a younger brother to support, I am afraid that there is no girl from any family in the vicinity who is willing to marry in.

But the grandpa still hesitated, and asked seriously: "Boy Bei, are you really going to reach this point? As long as you get through this year's difficulties, you will always receive some food after working hard next year. If you really want to sell it, you will have nothing left. No more."

"Don't worry, grandpa, the land sale is only temporary. As long as you work hard, I can always buy the land back in a few years. Now it's a last resort, otherwise I don't want to go to this point, and everyone's life will be difficult. "Xu Bei knew that what Grandpa meant was to rely on everyone's support to get on with the life in front of him first, but right now their brothers are disgusting in the eyes of some people in the village, so it's better to go out and make a living than to stay in the eyes of others.

"Minqing, what do you think?" Xu Bei turned his head to ask for his younger brother's opinion, but he hadn't discussed his plan with this younger brother yet.

Xu Minqing grabbed his elder brother's arm and said, "I always listen to elder brother. I will go wherever elder brother goes." The attitude of not leaving for half a step caused Xu Bei to rub his head hard again.

The grandpa felt a bit bitter in his mouth, smacked his lips and said, "Okay, I'll ask Li Zheng for you to see if we can get a good price."

"Okay, thank you, grandpa." Grandpa stepped forward to help him. Although some wealthy households would take the opportunity to buy land at a low price during the disaster year, his land is Susukida first, and two acres of lonely land. For fear of being unpopular, those rich households would definitely be more willing to buy those stretches of fertile land.

Grandpa, as the elder of the village, was indeed very powerful. On the second day, there was news that someone was willing to buy their land for four taels of silver. Xu Bei agreed without thinking, feeling relieved at last.

Unexpectedly, Xu Minqing also had good news to tell him. After his grandpa and grandma left that day, Xu Minqing ran back to the room, took out an inconspicuous cloth ball from a corner, and brought it to Xu Bei.Xu Bei asked curiously at the time: "What's inside?"

"Brother," Xu Minqing said with some anxiety, "I hid the money secretly when grandma and auntie weren't looking."

Xu Minqing was afraid that his elder brother would blame him. He always knew that no one in the family liked him except his parents and elder brother. I overheard my aunt's plan, so I secretly hid the money my parents had saved.

But the elder brother has always been filial to grandma, he was worried that what he did would offend the elder brother.

Xu Bei hurriedly unwrapped the cloth, and was immediately happy when he saw the few pieces of silver exposed. Then he saw his younger brother's anxious eyes, grinned and said, "Well done, Minqing! This is what father and mother saved for You use it for reading, and the eldest brother didn’t take care of it at all before, but fortunately Min Qing saved it, otherwise we would really have to drink the northwest wind.”

Xu Minqing heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

"No," Xu Bei thought of one thing, and said, "This should be your money. I remember my mother said that you had already prepared the money for entering the school. It was your parents who brought you back. There is time, so it should not be handed over to them.”

Xu Minqing nodded again and again: "Brother, it's those silver coins. My mother told me where to put them before. Even my father didn't know where they hid them."

"I know why mother did this. I'm afraid that my father will be softened by his grandparents crying poor and crying. I will hand over the money to them. My elder brother did the same before. It's mother who is thoughtful." Xu Bei patted his younger brother on the shoulder. I searched the relevant memories in the Internet. Although their father did not give in on Min Qing's matter, he was as foolish and filial as his predecessor in other respects. Their father touched their hands, but they didn't expect that after all these years, there were still more than a dozen taels left.

"Father and elder brother are kind-hearted." Xu Minqing didn't think that his father and elder brother were wrong, and he kept in mind the kindness he had treated him all these years.

"Minqing, do you... want to find your relatives?" Xu Bei thought for a while and asked, even if his parents wanted to hide his life experience, but there are those aunts who are a bit broken-mouthed, and grandma who is partial, Min Qing They simply couldn't hide his origins, so their parents told Min Qing early on, saying that his relatives had no choice but to hand him over to his parents to raise him, and that his parents had always insisted on letting Min Qing study, saying that he would be born in the future. The one who cast the land, Xu Bei thought, I am afraid that his cheap brother has some origins, seeing that he is talented in reading and looks handsome, even if he grows up in this country, he does not have a local flavor.

"No, I only want the elder brother!" Xu Minqing hugged the elder brother tightly, for fear that the elder brother would say that he didn't want him.

Xu Bei rubbed his head, and said with a smile: "Who said that elder brother doesn't want you anymore? Elder brother is worried that delaying your studies will affect your future achievement test. Besides, elder brother is also reluctant to leave you." With this younger brother, it seems that he is in this strange space. There is an extra involvement, so that he can take root in this world, otherwise he will be like duckweed, without any sense of solidity.

It wasn't that he was sentimental, he was originally a rough guy, but this completely different and unfamiliar environment also made him a bit uneasy. Having someone he knew from before by his side gave him a lot of peace of mind, and he also had the strength to work hard. power.
