The fourth uncle built this brick house and sold the original house, and owed several hundred dollars in debt. Zhang Xingming remembered that he seemed to have worked in his last life before the fourth uncle could pay off the debt. It took 90 years, don’t worry. Looking at a few hundred dollars, Uncle Qingge is the best family in the castle because he has an urban household registration and a fixed salary. At this moment, the total income of the fourth uncle’s family is only a few hundred dollars a year, and people still have to live. .

Since the 80s, the living conditions in the countryside have become worse and worse than those in the cities, and the distance has become wider and wider. Until the 90s, the annual income of a farmer was only more than 1000 yuan.

The fourth uncle's house didn't have a courtyard wall, so it was just open, with a few stacks of firewood, and a cowshed beside it.

Dad said: "Here, the fourth family still raises cattle?"

Zhang Xingming said: "The cows in the team will be raised by my uncle in winter, so they can get some food."

Dad nodded, stomped his feet, and took the lead to walk into the house.

After walking a few steps, a small head appeared behind the pile of firewood, with two big black eyes on the small dark face, the iconic Zhang's single eyelid, all Zhang Xingming's brothers are like this, no matter how you look at it, they are all single eyelids, But it's really not, Ouchi double, haha.

The child stared at the person walking by, and asked in a low voice, "You guys, haha?"

Dad turned his head to look over and asked, "Is this your home?"

The child nodded and stood up, thin and small.

Chapter 453 Blood Family (3)

Dad said, "Is your dad home?"

The child nodded again, a little dazed, looked at his father, turned his head to look at the room, turned his head and ran into the room, and opened his mouth when he reached the door, "Mom, someone is coming outside, looking for my father." of."

The fourth aunt poked out half of her face from the open door and asked, "Who is it?" The fourth uncle's voice came from the room: "Who is here?" a feeling of.

After looking around, the fourth aunt went back again, and then the fourth uncle walked out of the house quickly pulling his shoes, went out the door and jumped up and lifted the heels, saying in his mouth: "Third brother, third sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Are you here?"

The fourth aunt knew her parents, so it stands to reason that she should welcome her out, but who knew that she ran back to call her fourth uncle, and her parents didn't bother to pick this reason, and my fourth aunt has some mental problems.

The fourth uncle was obviously very excited. He lifted the heel of his shoe a few times but failed to lift it up.

The two brothers hugged each other tightly, and the fourth uncle was crying and beating his father's back hard.

Dad also burst into tears, patted the fourth uncle's back lightly, and said with a smile, "It's alright, alright, the child is here, he's still crying at this age. Alright, this is your son? What's his name?"

The fourth uncle hugged his father hard for a while before letting go, raised his hand to wipe his face, and called to his mother: "Sister-in-law three."

My mother's eyes were also red, she sniffed her nose, and smiled and agreed: "Hey. It's fine now?"

The fourth uncle nodded, then turned around and shouted: "Little Wu, Xiao Wu, come, come here."

The child who had been hiding by the door and looking this way let out an oh, and came over biting his lip.

The fourth uncle stretched out his hand and pulled him and said, "It's called the third master and the third mother."

Xiao Wu stared at his parents curiously, and said shyly with his mouth open: "Third Lord, Third Mother. Well, let's go into the house." His front tooth was missing, and with his expression, everyone laughed stand up.

The fourth aunt poked out half of her head from the door to look this way, and my mother frowned, but then opened it up and said, "Does his fourth aunt still know me?"

The fourth aunt came out of the door with a smile and said, "I know, why don't you know me. Well, let's go inside, it's cold outside."

My mother walked over, took the fourth aunt's hand, and said, "It's been a good few years, and I haven't come to see you, and you won't go either."

The fourth aunt was a little embarrassed, brushed her hair, and said: "I don't have the time, there is a lot of work, and the fourth one can do it alone, and I can't do it either."

My mother said: "It's okay, he can do it, you can fix the food and take care of the child."

The fourth aunt looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Good boy, you're quite clever. It's just scouring, but you can scouring it." After thinking for a while, she said, "It's even better than Xiaowei."

My mother put her arms around the shoulders of my fourth aunt. It was not easy for this woman. Apart from doing laundry and cooking, she couldn't do anything else, and she couldn't go out. Her world was this small courtyard without walls, and she often She won't go out once a month. To her, the fourth uncle is the sky, the child is the earth, and there is nothing else.

After entering the house, you can use the four walls of the house to describe the situation in the house. Except for an old kang cabinet and a few quilts, there is almost nothing, not even a clock.

Dad looked around, touched the kang cabinet, and said, "You got this from home before you got married, right?"

The fourth uncle hummed and said, "It's okay, it's pretty good."

Dad nodded. This cabinet was no younger than my fourth uncle. At that time, Dad was still in school, so there was this cabinet at home.

Sighing, Dad stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Wu's head who had been following everyone, and asked Fourth Uncle, "What's going on with Second Sister-in-law? Did you go and see?"

The fourth uncle said: "I'm sick. I say it's the same illness as my mother. I've been there once, and they don't want to see us."

Dad nodded.

The children of the second uncle's family grew up with their grandfather since they were young. There is no distinction between good and evil, and they will naturally follow their grandfather's attitude towards anyone. Although they have grown up now that their grandfather has passed away, some I can't get rid of my habit, for example, I don't like my fourth uncle very much, because my father has six brothers, except for my sixth uncle who is dumb, and my fourth uncle is stupid, and he had a fever when he was a child.

Dad patted the fourth uncle on the shoulder and said: "I can't live here anymore, give the land to the second brother, sell the things and houses that can be sold, go to the city after the new year, go to my place, and live in the city from now on." Yes, Xiao Wu will go to school in the city in the future. Er Ming, get some money for your fourth uncle, and get a few cars over after the new year, and move your fourth uncle."

Zhang Xingming agreed, and took out 500 yuan. Dad took it and handed it to the fourth uncle, and said, "That's it, listen to me. I will clean it up in a few days, and move when the weather is warmer. Listen?"

The fourth uncle took the money and said, "Have you gone to me? The factory doesn't want me, and there is still land to grow here. Haha in the city?"

Dad stared and said, "Is it disobedient? If you are told to move, you can do it. If you have something to do, you can plant a few acres of broken land without paying for it."

The fourth uncle laughed a few times and said, "That's fine, I'll listen to you."

The fourth aunt also followed along, keeping her eyes on the 500 yuan in the fourth uncle's hand.

It is probably the first time in my father's life that he did not directly decide a matter through his mother. It is still a big deal. This ability, dear brother, can do whatever you want. Besides, the fourth uncle burned his brain when he was a child. If he doesn't take care of it, he must have suffered so much all his life. How could he just watch him like this.

Dad said: "That's all right, you should prepare for a while, talk about the house and the land, sell the money, don't let people fool you, remember? I will come to the car when the spring warms up." Pick you up, don't worry."

Fourth Uncle nodded in agreement.

Dad said: "Then I'm leaving. I'll go to the second brother's place to have a look. After I'm done, I have to go to the fifth brother's place. I won't be coming back. You should be ready to wait at home."

The fourth uncle agreed again, and the family left the house, got in the car and walked to the fort.

After coming out of the fourth uncle’s house, we continued to walk along the river, passed the big willow tree in memory and turned a small bend, and arrived at the stone bridge of the team’s threshing ground, but the stone bridge is no longer there, it was destroyed by the mountain torrent , now there is no bridge, there is ice in winter, and in summer we just step on stones to wade through the water, but the water is not deep anyway.

Zhang Xingming directed the three vehicles to drive directly into the threshing ground. In winter, the entire yard was empty.

Everyone got out of the car, and the three drivers stayed in the car. They walked across the ice again and walked uphill along the driveway to the nursing home.

There were children playing around on the ice, wearing old patched padded jackets, their little faces were flushed from the cold, their noses were bubbling, and they were holding sticks or something in their hands, standing there curiously looking at the group of people. , a few dogs mixed among the children, also looking this way.

Children in rural areas really have nothing to play with, and even having a baby is an incredible thing. If the family conditions are better, nail a sledge for the child, that is a treasure, and no one else can touch it.

Chapter 454 Second Uncle (4)

Cross the river and follow the road uphill.

When it rains heavily in summer, the water from the mountain will flow down this driveway, so the road surface is very bad, full of potholes, full of large and small stones, although it is covered with snow, it is still not easy to walk.

Li Chun supported his father, his elder brother supported his mother, Zhang Xingming led his younger brother, and the family climbed up Banpo to the gate of the old courtyard.
