One of the big boys

I am Tian Erzhuang, and my name is Tian Changxin.The name is taken from the five virtues of generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness, which happen to be five of my brothers.

For as long as I can remember, life as a child has been poor.My family originally came here as a refugee. There are many brothers, and only my father is busy in the family. Money has always been very tight.I followed my father and elder brother to work in the fields early on.At that time, when I was young, I gritted my teeth and carried bags of wheat back home.The next day I slept in bed and couldn't get up all day.Ah so rare to kill a chicken to replenish my body.I knew he was hiding in the kitchen, crying with distress.From now on, Ah Mo will not allow me to carry wheat back, and only find some easy jobs for me to do.But the wheat is in the field, and it is about to rain, so how can we not rush to work?

Maybe he became sick from overwork, and his father let go when Wu Zhuang was just able to crawl.I will always remember Ah Mo's thin, dark yellow face and Father's dark skin.At that time, I wondered if I would die like this in the future.Dark skin, thin body and forever poor life.

Until the eldest brother gets married.In fact, my eldest brother told me that he might not be able to marry his elder brother in his whole life, because of his poor family.The eldest brother was already 19 years old when he got married, which is a very old age.For so many years, the family has never been in the media.Sister-in-law is a stone brother, unable to give birth to children, and young.I heard that he was raised by a rich man since he was a child. I don't know if he can stand my family's poverty.

What I didn't expect was that this sister-in-law changed my life.He is a brother who can make a lot of money, he protects us and thinks about us.When the conditions at home get better, my sister-in-law will send us to a private school to study.Private schools are very expensive, but he allowed all four of us brothers to study.

Later I got married, and the first young man was adopted by my elder brother.For so many years, the children in the family have basically been brought up by their sister-in-law.He loves children very much and likes to take them for a walk.

Time flies, and we grow old quickly.But I didn't know that day came so suddenly.Sister-in-law is gone, brother is gone.In those few days, I felt as if I had returned to myself decades ago, facing death, feeling that I had no support.If there is a hell, I hope to continue to be the younger brother of my elder brother and sister-in-law.
