Love in Aya Village

"Aunt, I'm not someone else's little brother." Wei Qilin said firmly.

In front of his dilapidated mud house, Wei Qilin held his younger brother's hand and looked squarely at the peasant woman in front of him.

My aunt curled her lips impatiently, and said: "You say you, the old man Li introduced to you earlier, if you think he is old, and he doesn't give you enough hire money, then forget it. But this time, what I told you is iron. The sixth child! Who doesn’t know that he has a good handicraft, and there is white rice for every meal at home! He thinks highly of you, and he will give you three thousand as a bride price! It’s enough to match a girl. Which brother have you seen can get it? Not at this price!"

"No matter who he is, no matter how much money he gives, I will not talk to him. Aunt, I said before that I will not be a younger brother." Wei Qilin's tone was still flat, but the rejection in his eyes was clear.

Yes, he is bitter, but not to the point of being someone else's younger brother.Mom and Dad are gone, but he is 17 years old, he can carry a hoe, and he can farm the land.Although it may not be possible to eat a bowl of white rice for a month, wild vegetables and wild fruits are everywhere, and you will not die of hunger no matter what!He didn't believe that he was born to be someone else's younger brother!Anyway, he is also a man, a man lying under another man, giving birth to others, and then dying in a humble way, this is not the life he wants!As long as there is a little hope, he will never compromise!Moreover, he is gone, what about my brother?Even if there is this so-called aunt in front of him, but looking at her snobbish face, how could he entrust Xiao Shuang to "care" for such a person.

"You!—" The woman hated this stubborn nephew in her heart, but there was nothing she could do about him.Don't look at his handsome appearance, if he doesn't want to, even ten cows will be useless.If he is in a hurry, there is no guarantee that he will do something to kill him. — Just like his dead mother!

The woman had no choice but to suppress the resentment in her heart, and barely showed a soft expression on her face: "It's not that my aunt is greedy for you, think about it for yourself, if I hadn't often sent you some food and clothing in the past five years, you can now Standing here? It’s fine if you’re alone, you won’t starve to death anyway. But what about Xiao Shuang? He’s sick! Thalassemia! My aunt also has a family herself, and she’ll get a lot of stares from her family when she gives you a bite of food. When Shuang's illness reached the stage, where would my aunt go to get money for him? So, my aunt thought, you look so good, if you were someone's younger brother, they would definitely take good care of you for the rest of your life, and it would be fine. Leave a sum of money for Xiao Shuang. Isn’t this very good, don’t you think? Think about it again?”

Qilin knew in his heart that what the aunt said was somewhat true and some false, but his face was still calm, and he said: "Auntie, Xiaoshuang and I both thank you very much, but I really don't want to. You don't have to do it again in the future." If you bothered to help me connect, I won't agree. I will find a way for Xiao Shuang's illness."

"Good! Good! You have guts! You have tough bones!" The woman gritted her teeth bitterly, "Don't come begging me in the future!" After she finished speaking, she stomped her feet and left, still thinking about the 3000 yuan that flew away when she arrived. .Originally, he expected this money to marry his son a wife, this damn Wei Qilin!See when you get hard!

Seeing his aunt walking away, Qi Lin squatted down and hugged his thin brother.

"Xiao Shuang, from now on it will be only us..."

"Brother..." Xiao Shuang grabbed Qi Lin and said softly, "I'm so dizzy."

Hearing Xiaoshuang's weak voice, Qi Lin who had been holding on just now turned red.Although he only studied for one year and didn't know how serious the so-called thalassemia is, the old doctor who came to the medical aid last time said that if he didn't get treatment, Xiaoshuang's dizziness would get worse and worse, and he would soon It is possible that you will not live past the age of 15.This can be called terminal illness, right?

He asked the doctor how much it cost to treat this disease, the old doctor looked at him, just sighed heavily, then shook his head and said "a lot, a lot".

"Is 3000 yuan enough?" At that time, he really thought that as long as he could treat Xiao Shuang, he would be willing to be someone else's younger brother.

The doctor's head shaking and pitiful gaze made Qilin realize what despair is.

Since being someone else's little brother can't save Xiao Shuang, he can only rely on himself.If he has more land and saves a little more money, he can take a car to work in the county town.I heard that serving dishes for restaurants in the county town costs [-] yuan a month.Maybe, he can earn money for Xiao Shuang's medical treatment!

Even if it is such a small hope, he can't give up!For Xiao Shuang, no matter how difficult it is, he will support this family!

Especially since this year, Xiao Shuang's dizziness has become more and more serious, and her face has begun to turn a sickly yellow.

"Are you dizzy?" Qi Lin patted Xiao Shuang's head, picked him up distressedly and walked back to the mud house with air leaks all around, "Go to sleep first, brother will make you a bowl of sugar water."

"Hmm." It seemed that she was dizzy and uncomfortable, Xiao Shuang didn't even open her eyes, and fell asleep with a weak reply.

Although he wanted to get a bowl of sugar water, Qi Lin didn't find any sugar after searching for a long time.Now, that free sucrose has become a luxury for them.What's more, tonight's dinner hasn't been settled yet, and the family has long since run out of rice. They have been eating potatoes and sweet potatoes for a week, and Xiao Shuang's face is even sharper.Anyway, let's have white rice once tonight.

After making up his mind, Qi Lin carried the basket on his back, picked up the small hoe, and went out.But you must hurry up, there have been several heavy rainstorms in a row recently, and it finally stopped today, but the sky is still heavy, and there is no guarantee that it will rain again.

Some sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted in the field, and there were some bitter hemp vegetables scattered around.Qilin dug a basket full of sweet potatoes, and planned to exchange some rice with Wang Mashan, who often went to the fair in the next village, and then exchange some white sugar at the small sugar and tobacco shop at the entrance of the village.I picked up two more bitter hemp vegetables and used it as a side dish for the porridge tonight.

Walking to the entrance of the village, Qi Lin found that the village today was a bit unusually lively, and the villagers all gathered at the entrance of the village, each stretching their necks.In the crowd, the village head could also be seen directing a group of kids to stand in a row, with gongs and drums set up next to them, and good wine being brought out.

what happened?Qi Lin stood still curiously, in the impression that Apai Village has not been so lively for a long time.

"I heard that the teacher who came today is a doctor." The sister-in-law of the Liu family next to her chewed her tongue excitedly.

"Doctor?" Lan Hua covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Come to our village? To teach elementary school?!"

"Isn't the doctor very old? I heard from the village head that he is a handsome guy! He is a top student at ##university!"

Qilin walked quickly through the crowd indifferently, university doctorate and so on are too far away from his world, now he just wants to hurry up and change some rice so that he can go back to cook.

The thin figure of the boy attracted the eyes of the men under the tree, and it was not until Qi Lin walked away that the men came back to their senses.

"Don't look at it," said one of the men in their 30s, "Tie Lao Liu will give you [-] yuan as soon as he asks, and people will ignore him. We don't even need to think about it."

"If I can make him a younger brother, I don't know how to make the doll so beautiful... I love his white and thin neck the most."

That's right, Qi Lin is the most handsome boy in Ajiu Village, with his delicate facial features, fair skin, and slender figure, he doesn't look like a local kid who was raised in the countryside.

It's a pity...he said that he would never be someone else's younger brother.

The men felt bored after chatting for a while, so they continued to look at the entrance of the village, waiting boredly for the new teacher to come.
