Grass and Bamboo Horse

It was already noon when I got home, and my mother had already returned from school and was cooking in the kitchen. When she saw Han Yu brothers coming back, she smiled and said, "Where did you go to play, sweat on your face? Go wash up."

Han Xuan opened his mouth to speak,

Han Yu was the first to say, "Just take my brother for a walk on the street?"

Han Wenhua didn't come back from school at noon. After lunch, Han Xuan and his brother went back to the room to take a nap. Before going to bed, Han Xuan lay on the bed and looked at his brother who was sleeping beside him and asked curiously, "Brother, how did you meet?" Brother Yuanhang?"

Lying on his back, Han Yu turned to look at his younger brother: "He has lived here since he was very young, and we used to play together a lot."

"Then Yuan Hang's father is also a teacher?"

Han Yu lay on his side facing his younger brother, "His father is the principal of the middle school in the town, but don't let his parents know that we went out with Xu Yuanhang today, do you hear me?"

"Why?" Han Xuan asked puzzled.

"My parents thought he was a bad boy and wouldn't let us play with him," Han Yu said.

"But, I think Brother Yuanhang is pretty good?" Han Xuan said with a frown.

"You don't know. In the past, Xu Yuanhang was very well-behaved and his academic performance was very good. However, his parents divorced two years ago, so he was left alone. He went out to fight with people all day long and caused trouble everywhere. So, live The teachers around here don't let their children play with him."

Han Xuan was not talking, he lowered his head in deep thought, wondering what he was thinking?

This afternoon nap, Han Xuan didn't sleep for too long. After one o'clock in the afternoon, Han Xuan was awakened by a knock on the door.

Han Xuan, who was awakened, sat up from the bed and looked out from the window of the room. His mother hurried out and opened the big iron gate of the yard. His father came in through the iron gate with a gloomy expression.

"Did something happen? Why did you come back before the end of get off work time?" Ye Hong looked at her husband with a serious face and asked in puzzlement.

"Aunt Wu is gone this morning?" Han Wenhua said.

"Who?" Ye Hong was a little confused, and said for a while, "You mean Wu Qiang at the west end of the village?" His face was surprised.

"Well, the child's grandma sent someone to the school this morning and told me that you helped me pack two pieces of clothes, and I have to go back for two days."

"How could it be? The last time I saw her when I went home, wasn't she in a good spirit? How can I say that she is gone?"

"It was said that it was a heart attack. His grandson woke up and found it early in the morning. When the doctor arrived, he was out of breath." Han Wenhua lowered his head and said.

"This child should be quite frightened, hey, this life is not good.

Ye Hong said with emotion, sighed and walked into the house to help Han Wenhua pack his things.

Han Xuan was still lying on the window of the room. Since the window of the room was not closed in summer, he heard everything his parents said.

Han Xuan got up and picked up his clothes and put them on. The news was so sudden that he wanted to go back with his father.

Han Xuan ran out of the room and saw his father pushing the bicycle into the yard to go out.

"Father, I want to go back with you." Han Xuan said.

Han Wenhua, who was in a bad mood, frowned and ignored Han Xuan.

At this time, Ye Hong came out of the house with a bag, and she handed the bag to Han Wenhua, "I'll take you back in a few days." Ye Hong looked at Han Xuan and said.

Han Wenhua took the bag, pushed the bicycle and went out. Han Xuan didn't give up, went up and grabbed the back seat of his father's bicycle, and said aggrievedly, "Dad, will you take me back?"

Han Wenhua turned to look at Ye Hong, "Pull him back?"

Helpless, Ye Hong came over and pulled Han Xuan, and Han Wenhua pushed the bicycle out.

Han Xuan's tears flowed down his face without knowing it. He threw off his mother's hand and chased him out.

When Han Xuan chased him out, his father had ridden a long way on his bicycle. He knew that he could not catch up with him, so he stood at the door crying and wiping his tears. His mother came out and looked at Han Xuan who was eager to go back. Xuan, "I'll take you back when your dad comes back."

"I'm going back now," Han Xuan said crying.

Ye Hong didn't speak, turned around and went home.

The days are still going on day by day. Han Xuan is looking forward to his father's return every day, so that his mother can send him back. Han Xuan has been looking forward to it for three days. At noon on the third day, his father came back with his bicycle , Han Xuan, who was sitting in a daze in the living room, saw his father who pushed open the big iron door and came in with a bicycle. He stood up and ran to his father.

"Father, have you seen Brother Wu Yong?" Han Xuan asked anxiously.

Han Wenhua ignored him, put down his bicycle, picked up the washbasin, and washed his face.

Ye Hong and Han Yu also came out when they heard the movement, "Have you eaten yet?" Ye Hong looked at Han Wenhua and asked.

Han Wenhua waved his hands haggardly, "No, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, eat now. I'm too tired. I need to sleep for a while after eating."

"Then let's eat now," Ye Hong said.

The meal Han Xuan ate was tasteless. After eating, his father went to bed. Han Xuan went to the kitchen and pulled his mother's apron and said, "Mom, take me back later."

Ye Hong, who was busy washing the dishes, heard what Han Xuan said, and stopped washing the dishes, "I will send you back when I finish cleaning," Ye Hong said while washing the dishes.

"Then I'm going to pack up." After finishing speaking, Han Xuan walked out of the kitchen. When he came, he brought a few clothes, just tidy up.

After mother's housework was packed, she took Han Xuan out on a bicycle.

The first house just entering the village from the main road on the west is Wu Yong's house, the first house in this village to build a small two-story house, and now the outside courtyard wall is covered with white paper, the big iron gate is wide open, and the spacious There was a middle-aged man standing in the yard. This man stood in a daze in the yard. He didn't know what he was thinking. Han Xuan remembered that Wu Yong would stand in the yard like this in the past.

Ye Hong pushed the bicycle and led Han Xuan to the door of Wu Yong's house, and saw Wu Qiang standing in a daze in the yard. She wanted to say hello, but before she could speak, Wu Qiang turned around and saw them.

"Come, sit in the room." Wu Qiang's voice was a little hoarse, which may be caused by not having a good rest for a long time.

"No," Ye Hong said politely, just about to take Han Xuan away.

"Where's Brother Wu Yong?" Han Xuan spoke first.

Wu Qiang came over, reached out and touched Han Xuan's head, "He was picked up by his grandmother in the morning, did you come to play with him?"

"En," Han Xuan nodded heavily, "Then will he come back?"

"Maybe it won't come," Wu Qiang said uncertainly.

"Oh..." Han Xuan lowered his head in disappointment, his heart was as empty as if a piece was missing.

Ye Hong smiled awkwardly, "Angkor, you go ahead, I'll take the child back."

"En" Wu Qiang nodded, and continued, "Thank you, Wenhua, for your help. I don't have any brothers or sisters. This time, I will rely on his help for the loss of my old mother. If he has any difficulties in the future, ask him to go to the city. If you can help me, I will definitely help him.”

"Angkor is too polite, it's the way it should be in the countryside," Ye Hong smiled, and took Han Xuan back to his hometown.

Han Xuan followed his mother back to grandma's house, saw Liu Aiying and Han Xuan ran up to hug grandma, "I can't see Grandma Wu anymore, can I?"

Liu Aiying, who had reddish bags under her eyes, burst into tears again when she heard Han Xuan's words, and she hastily wiped away her tears.

"Mom, don't be too sad, you're hurting yourself," Ye Hong said with concern.

"Hey," Liu Aiying sighed, found a bench and sat down with her daughter-in-law, Han Xuan lay on her lap and didn't speak.

Liu Aiying raised her hand and pulled the hair next to her ear and said, "Your Aunt Wu is also a hard-working person. When I was young, I married here in tandem. Wu Qiang's father left for a long time after we got married for more than a month. , After leaving, she never came back, so I feel sorry for her after waiting for her husband all her life, but she still couldn't wait." Liu Aiying said, tears streaming down again.

Ye Hong took her mother-in-law's hand, "Mom, don't be too sad."

"En" Liu Aiying nodded and continued, "This is fate. Back then, your Aunt Wu found out she was pregnant the day after Wu Qiang's father left. You said, if she found out one day earlier, Wu Qiang's father would not She will leave as soon as she says, pity her as a woman who has to serve her mother-in-law, take care of the children, and support the family, and there are some bullies who bully her because she has no man in the family, and they are all taking advantage of her." Liu Aiying said He picked up a handkerchief and wiped away his tears.

"Mom, one person has one life, so don't be sad."

Ye Hong comforted her mother-in-law for a while at home, and then pushed the bicycle to go back. Han Xuan sent his mother to the door. Seeing the back of his mother riding the bicycle all the way away, he turned to look at the second-floor small house in the west of the village. building.

The bright white tiles of the building are still glowing white in the sun. Can he really never see the Grandma Wu in his memory, and his Brother Wu Yong?

Things are changing now! , Han Xuan turned around sadly and went home, and walked into the main room, Liu Aiying saw the little grandson with his head down, she went up and touched Han Xuan's head, "Xiao Xuan, you sent a box when Brother Wu Yong left in the morning, He said it was for you, go open it and see what he gave you," Liu Aiying said in a soft voice, she knew her little grandson's reluctance to Wu Yong.

"Well, where is it?" Han Xuan asked.

"On your bed," Liu Aiying said lovingly.

Han Xuan wiped away his tears and ran into the room, he wanted to see what his Brother Wu Yong had given him.

In the room, there was a patterned iron box on Han Xuan's bed. Han Xuan walked up, raised his fat hand and slowly opened the lid of the iron box. After opening the lid, he saw a box full of paper bags Holding the chocolate, Han Xuan looked sadly at the chocolate in the box. The scene of seeing Wu Yong for the first time kept rolling in his mind. On that day, he knocked on the big iron door of Grandma Wu's house with a basket of spinach , the handsome boy poking his head out from behind the door.

From then on in their lives, they hope to have communication again.

After a long time, Han Xuan raised his hand to explore the chocolates in the box, and found a red thread protruding from the middle of the chocolates pushed together. Han Xuan pulled out the red thread, and the other end of the red thread was tied with a small wooden fish hand-carved with wood. With the word "Wu Yong" engraved on it, Han Xuan gently picked it up and hung it around his neck, and looked at it in front of the mirror over and over again. He touched the little wooden fish with his hands from time to time, feeling warm and at ease in his heart.
