Heyuan Town is a relatively remote town in the south. For hundreds of years, it was a land of prosperity and good weather. However, with the explosion of information and the Great Depression, the convenience of this place has gradually fallen behind. Although it is not as poor as the Northeast mountainous area Township, but not much better, the only saving grace is probably that the scenery here is good, and the people here are a bit more human than in the metropolis.But at most, that's it. Young people don't want to stay in such a small place, and they all travel far away from home. Gradually, this place loses a bit of vigor.

Hexi Village is a small village under Heyuan Town. It is said to be a village, but in fact it has less than a hundred households. It is located not far from the town, and because it is on the west side of the river, it has such a name.

On this day, the peaceful Hexi Village was bustling with people. The door of a dilapidated house was crowded with people, with expressions of sympathy, gloating, or senselessness on their faces.

Speaking of which, this family is quite famous in Hexi Village, and even in Heyuan Town, but of course, it's not because of any good things.Eight years ago, a couple from this family had a car accident together, and they were directly crushed into mud by a big truck. There was a lot of discussion in the whole Heyuan Town about such a big accident.

The couple, surnamed Xiang, had a car accident together, leaving behind a pair of sons. The eldest son was only eight years old at the time, and the younger son was not even a year old.The couple passed away, but a pair of underage sons were brought up by their only grandmother, not without other relatives, but such two sons, who would be willing to take care of them.

After so many years, these two children have gradually grown up, but they survived the old man, and the white-haired one sent the black-haired one to Grandma Xiang, but they couldn't hold it anymore. Looking at the grandson who just finished the college entrance examination, Then he touched his little grandson who just entered the first grade. Grandma Xiang couldn't even feel at ease when she died. She still has a little son, but since she married a wife and gave birth to her own son, she has no respect for these two nephews. nothing.

Grandma Xiang was worried, thought about it, and finally came up with a solution. She is now glad that her grandson went to school early and has finished the college entrance examination. Although he is not yet an adult, he can be considered a young adult on their side.

Grandma Xiang held her grandson's hand, and stubbornly looked at the old man standing in front of the hospital bed, with pleading in her cloudy eyes.

The old man who was stared at by her sighed, took a puff of cigarette, nodded in the end, and said: "Siblings and sisters of the Xiang family, since you have already made up your mind, I, as an older brother, will not let go, you Just rest assured."

After hearing this, Grandma Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the corners of her mouth reluctantly, and said, "Thank you, big brother."

The old man in front of the bed was the old village head of Hexi Village. Speaking of which, the Xiang family was the common surname of Hexi Village. Most of the people in the village had this surname, and they were more or less related to each other. The old village head counted , or the cousin next door to grandpa.

Originally, the old village chief didn't want to take care of other people's housework, but the Xiang family's situation was different. After pleading with grandma, he finally agreed.

As soon as the voice fell, a couple walked in quickly from outside, followed by such a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child. They didn't care about the people in the room, and the woman opened her mouth and shouted: "Mom, we are late, you But it must get better, we are still waiting to be filial to you."

After hearing this, everyone in the room looked obedient, without him, this couple is really not a filial person, especially this daughter-in-law, who usually sneers at her mother-in-law, but now she is pretending to be a filial son and a filial daughter. It's a pity that everyone in the village knows the virtues of the two of them, and they don't know how to laugh at them.

The woman didn't care what others thought, she pulled her son to the bed, pushed aside the boy who was squatting there, grabbed the old man's hand and said, "Mom, take a quick look, this is your eldest grandson." Chen Bo, Chen Bo, call grandma."

The boy yelled reluctantly, and quickly looked away, not realizing what his mother meant at all.

The person who was pushed aside was the eldest grandson of the Xiang family, Xiang Ange. Originally, he didn't want to quarrel with his aunt, but seeing her holding the old man's hand indifferently, it seemed that he didn't see the old man frowning at all. She couldn't help but step forward and push her hand away: "Auntie, please speak up if you have something to say, you scratched grandma."

The woman's face twisted for a moment, but now she didn't care about him, and she was about to speak again. Grandma Xiang on the bed didn't know what she was thinking, coughed, and said: "Stop howling, I've been sick for so long, before I haven't seen you take care of me for a few days."

The woman's face froze, and she quickly said: "Mom, I, am I busy with work? You also know that Chen Bo has good grades, and he will definitely go to a big city to go to college in the future. If he has no money, his future future will not be good. Delayed."

Grandma Xiang glanced at Chen Bo, and sighed in her heart. They are both grandchildren. In fact, she also loves Xiang Chen Bo, but this child has listened to his mother's words since childhood, and his grandmother's family is closer to her, and he is even more distant from her. Extremely, people's hearts are biased. Compared with Xiang Chen Bo who is not close to him, she naturally loves Xiang Ange and Xiang Antai brothers who were brought up.

He waved his hand to grandma, not wanting to listen to his daughter-in-law's explanation, and said indifferently: "My funeral has already been explained to you, old uncle Xiang."

After saying this, the woman's voice suddenly paused, and she looked at the old people beside the bed. These are all very senior old people in the village, and their words carry a lot of weight, especially the old village chief. The leaders in the town are all somewhat related.

Grandma Xiang rested for a while, glanced at Xiang Ange, who was looking at her with concern, and called the youngest son who was standing beside her, before continuing: "The things left by your father were separated when the family was separated. It's clear, this house was earned by Ange's parents, so it has to be reserved for their two brothers."

Xiang Yuan glanced at the elder nephew who was sitting by the bed, holding the hand of the old lady, and then at the younger nephew who was standing beside them, crying or not, nodded and said, "Mom, I don't know how to do it either." This house."

To be honest, this house has been built for a long time. It was built when Xiang’s parents got married. At that time, the couple had no money, so they wanted to build a random one first, and build a better one later when they had money, so the house is very simple. , now in the village, I am afraid that there are not many more dilapidated buildings.

The Xiang family and his wife came here in such a hurry, naturally they wouldn't be worth a lot of money for a dilapidated house, a house in the village.The couple looked at each other, and the woman said, "Mom, naturally we won't fight over what belongs to the eldest brother, but Chen Bo is also your grandson, so you can't be too partial."

Grandma Xiang didn't even look at her daughter-in-law, but just looked at her son and asked, "You think so too?"

Xiang Yuan turned his eyes slightly, probably noticing the disapproving gazes of some old people around him, so he just said, "What the child's mother said has some truth, Chen Bo's surname is An anyway."

Sighed to grandma, although he knew that his youngest son was unreliable, he was still a little disappointed to see him being led away by his wife.

She stood up a little, and said to An Ge quickly: "Grandma, don't get up, let's talk about it another day if you have anything to say."

Xiang Ange was brought up by Grandma Xiang. At that time, the eldest son was still there, and Grandma Xiang lived a comfortable life. Later, the family experienced great changes, and this child became the reason for Grandma Xiang to live.Grandma Xiang always loved her sensible grandson the most. When she saw his red eyes, she felt very distressed. She only hated her body for not being able to survive, and feared that she would never see the day when this child would get married.

Grandma Xiang patted Ange's hand, and said, "Shi, I don't have anything. When your father died, all the things that should be divided in the family have already been divided. I'm an old woman, and I don't look like a city person." With a pension, when your elder brother is still alive, he can give some expenses every year, after your elder brother dies, he has never had to pay for it."

This is not a good thing to say. According to the rules in the village, all sons have to take care of the elderly. Although it was said that the old lady lived with the eldest son, the younger son should at least give some food and money during the holidays.It's just that after the death of the eldest of the Xiang family, Xiang Yuan didn't want to take care of his two nephews, and he didn't even care much about his old mother. It was just out of face and he wanted to give some food.

Hearing this, Xiang Yuan's expression turned ugly. The woman in front of the bed still wanted to talk, but Grandma Xiang had already said, "I do have a sum of money in my hand, and it was bought by your elder brother and sister-in-law with their lives. You should keep it for others." Ange Antai is the tuition fee, why, do you want to divide the money?"

Xiang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, but the woman's eyes lit up. You must know that eight years ago, the husband and wife were killed together, and the truck driver lost a lot of money, at least one hundred thousand. A small amount, of course, now that many years have passed, a hundred thousand doesn't seem like a lot, but to the people of Hexi Village, it's still a lot.

At the beginning, Xiangyuan and his wife had thought about the money, not for business, but for the children to spend money on studying, and they wanted to borrow it first. , that is Roubaozi beating a dog, and he gritted his teeth and refused, and there were many unhappiness because of this before, but Grandma Xiang is the elder, and the couple are helpless.

Seeing this, grandma Xiang sneered immediately, and said lightly, "I have already given this money to your uncle Xiang's family. In the future, Ange and Antai will pay for their studies from here."

The woman became anxious when she heard this, and said quickly: "Mom, we are Ange Antai's uncle and aunt. How can we give money to outsiders? Besides, Ange Antai is still young! We don't need someone to take care of us."

Xiang Ange pursed his lips. Xiang Antai was younger but more sensitive to people's emotions. He subconsciously grabbed the corner of his brother's clothes and kept silent with tears in his eyes.

Grandma Xiang patted her grandson's hand, and continued, "I've already made up my mind. Ange is already 16 years old. If you get your ID card and are about to go to university, don't worry."

Aunt Xiang's quit, jumped up and shouted: "Mom, you can't be so eccentric, Ange Antai is your grandson, isn't we Chen Bo? Besides, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have been dead for so many years. The three of you It’s not relying on our family’s support, otherwise, how much money can be left.”

After hearing this, Grandma Xiang was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. Apart from giving two bags of grain every year, the youngest son never brought a piece of meat, and gave New Year's money to her two nephews every year. Have the face to say this.

Seeing this, Xiang Ange was terribly frightened, and hurriedly gave grandma the back, saying repeatedly: "Grandma, don't worry, don't be angry, don't scare me."

Aunt Xiang Jia wanted to say more, but the old village head next to him couldn't stand it anymore, coughed and said, "Chen Li, do you mean that you don't trust me as an outsider?"

Before Chen Li could speak, the old village head continued: "The brothers and sisters of the Xiang family gave me a total of 10 yuan, and every penny of this money will be used on the two little ones. After Ange graduates from university, I will return all the remaining money to him."

Most of the old people present were on good terms with Grandma Xiang, so naturally they couldn't understand Xiang Yuan and Chen Li who were not filial. One of them sneered and said: "Who is an outsider, your surname is Chen, you are an outsider, we all The surname is Xiang, and the village chief is Ange Antai's grandfather."

Seeing the anger of the old people, Chen Li didn't dare to say anything else. She was not afraid of others, but the old village chief always had some prestige, and Xiang Yuan who was next to her also pulled her, and said, "Old man, she didn't mean that, this It’s not that I’m anxious, that’s why I speak out.”

The old village chief saw too many people, and he looked down on Xiang Yuan very much, and said lightly: "Is this what you mean? Take it away, and when you hand it over to An Ge in the future, please come over and be a witness to see if I have been corrupted by a dime."

Most of the people in the village believed in the character of the old village head. Besides, the son of the village head’s family has made a lot of money over the years. 10 yuan is a lot for the Xiang family, but it’s really nothing for their family. What, all of them expressed their belief immediately.

The faces of Xiang Yuan and his wife were ugly. The old village head made it clear that he wanted to get involved in this matter. It seemed that the money would not reach their hands.

Xiang Yuan and his wife saw that they couldn't achieve their goal, and the old lady didn't seem to die for a while, so they made excuses and left first, without any intention of staying to take care of them.The old village head shook his head, and after making a fuss, Grandma Xiang's face became even more ugly. The village head took a look and took the people out first.

When the people left, the room became quiet. Xiang Antai was only eight years old now, and he could hold back his tears just now, but now only his close brother and grandma were left, so he couldn't help wiping away his tears.

Grandma Xiang pulled her little grandson to her side distressedly, wiped away his tears, sighed, and said forcefully, "Ange, since your grandpa, the village head, has agreed, he will definitely do it. In the future, how much do you do?" Listen to him."

Xiang Ange also had tears in his eyes at the moment, nodded and said, "Grandma, I know, don't worry, I will listen to the village chief's grandfather."

He nodded to grandma, and said, "From now on, there will only be you two brothers in the house, Ange, you have to take good care of Antai, don't let people bully him, Antai, you have to listen to your brother, don't learn from your uncle ..."

After saying this to grandma, she couldn't bear it anymore and fell into a deep sleep. After this sleep, she never got up again, and only the two brothers were left to depend on each other.

Although Xiang Yuan was not filial, he had to organize his mother's funeral out of face. If he refused to do this, he might not be able to stay in the village in the future.

Xiang Ange didn't pay attention to his uncle's ugly face. He hugged his younger brother tightly and cried uncontrollably. From now on, the grandmother who loved him the most is no longer there. Apart from his younger brother, he has no relatives anymore. up.
