Sun Shaoping didn't know until he got home that his father had written to him to come back because of his separation.

Compared with other disasters he imagined, this incident doesn't seem to be particularly serious. Xifeng in a Dream of Red Mansions said that all good things must come to an end. It is natural for brothers to separate, or for father and son to separate, in rural areas. Compared with other families, it is not easy for eldest brother and sister-in-law to live with them for several years. Now they want to build an independent family. This is beyond reproach in all aspects.

Shao Ping was very sad to see Big Brother. Shao Ping understood his feelings.

When he arrived at the brick kiln, the eldest brother led him to the ditch below and wanted to talk to him alone.

The two brothers were sitting by the Dongla River, and they didn't know where to start.

Shao Ping took out a cigarette and gave it to Shao An. Shao An said that he couldn't get used to smoking, but he rolled himself a cigarette stick with a piece of paper.

"Eldest brother, separation, you also don't think too much. Dad's consideration is right. You and my sister-in-law should live different lives now ... "Shao Ping first spoke to encourage Shao An.

Shao An was silent for a long time before he said, "What about you? A large family, old and old, small and small ... "

"There are my father and me! There are actually few people at home! My father and I can completely maintain it! " Shao Ping said.

Shao An pondered for a while, then looked up at his brother and said, "How about this? After you leave home, the brick kiln, the two of us will operate together, and the bonus will be five, and one person will be half! "

"That is equal to not separating!" Shao Ping smiled. "Since being single is another matter, let's not stick together. Although they are brothers, they should share the water conservancy, so that there will be less unnecessary trouble in the future. After living away from home, your family will not be alone, and there will be my nephew! "

Less Ann surprised to stare at his brother's face for half a day. He didn't expect Shao Ping to become so popular-it's a bit stiff. He said, "How can brothers be so clearly divided?"

"It is good to distinguish. As the saying goes, good friends settle accounts. Brothers have to deal with relationships all their lives. I think it is possible to be friends first and then brothers. Otherwise, maybe they will make the relationship worse than the world on both sides of the strait! "

Shao An couldn't accept this "theory", but he realized that Shao Ping was not what it used to be. He wondered: When did my brother learn to speak loudly?

However, Shao An felt that the great mental stress caused by the separation for many days seemed to have eased a little. Shao Ping's attitude stimulated him and made him involuntarily think: Since you have a big mouth and are so capable, let's give it a try.

He asked his brother, "What are you going to do?"

"I am going to move my hukou to the countryside on the edge of Huangyuan City."

"What?" Shao An almost jumped up in surprise. "Said along while, you still want to fly away with a clap bottom? No wonder you talk about separation so freely! What about the old man when you leave? If so, the family will be inseparable! "

"Elder brother, you don't be impatient. I moved to Huangyuan, but I didn't go by myself! Will I stay out for nothing? I can't work? The money I earn won't support the elderly? Besides, I made trouble there, and maybe I can move my parents there in the future! "

"This is a joke! The old man is so old that he still goes to heaven with you! " Shao An has been satirizing Shao Ping angrily.

Shao Ping knew Shao An could not understand him. He was silent for a while and said, "Brother, anyway, let's do as Dad says, and let's separate our homes first. Don't worry too much about us. If I go out, I can't. I'm going back to Shuangshui Village soon. Opening an account is not easy. If I move back to my hukou, Shuangshui Village won't refuse to accept me, will it? You let me go out and break my head first. I deserve it. Didn't you break in, too? Why not concentrate on planting crops and open brick kilns? Isn't it a big show? Why can't I have a little plan? " Shao An was speechless by his brother's words.

He asked Shao Ping, "Have you discussed it with your father?"

"Not yet. It's just that I discussed it with him. Don't worry! If dad doesn't agree with me to go out, I will stay in Shuangshui Village to grow crops! "

The two brothers can't actually talk anymore.

Less Ann with a sigh, stood up.

Shao Ping also stood up. In this way, the two brothers silently left the Dongla River and then turned up from the grassy path. Let's go to the clay yard of the brick kiln. Shao An grabbed the wooden model to make bricks, threw the shoes and socks aside, propped his trouser legs on the half leg handles, jumped barefoot into the mud, and picked up a shovel to help his younger brother work ... Two days later, under the auspices of Sun, this big family for many years split in two.

Separation is actually very simple, just announcing that they will conduct "independent accounting" economically in the future. The original family business was not so secure and lacked everything, but Xiulian just went to a new place to start a new stove. In fact, this family will never be as "crystal clear" as Shao Ping said. First of all, nothing can be separated. The little guy is nominally divided. But he won't leave his grandparents; The old couple can't live without this precious grandson.

Finally, the family was separated.

After the separation, Shao Ping immediately talked with his father about his way out. Sun said modestly to his son, "Go your way! Dad has been healthy for two years and can grow this crop. Dad won't hold you back as long as you can do something outside! You go out dad rest assured, won't rush out of the big fuss ... "

"As long as I can take root in Huangyuan, I will move you all here in the future!" Shao Ping is very grateful to his father for letting him go out so generously.

Hou Yu gave a wry smile and said, "Don't think so far. Besides, your mother and I are from this water town all our lives, and we won't throw old bones anywhere else. You're just messing with your world! When you get outside, you have to worry about yourself! Dad hope you don't like dad in this life, curled up his arms and legs alive ... "

Shao Ping suddenly gave birth to a tragic mood. He thought that for the love and hope of his parents, he should also live a good life!

After completing the relocation formalities in the village, he is going to visit his sister and sister in Guanzi Village and the former Xixian High School respectively, and then go back to Huangyuan directly.

On the day he left Shuangshui Village, his parents and eldest brother and sister-in-law sent him to the village head. Mother cried loudly, which made the whole family red-eyed Yes, this trip is not as usual-this means that he no longer belongs to Shuangshui Village, but will become a citizen of a strange place!

Shao Pingshun first went to Tanzi Village to visit his sister. Orchid saw him, said nothing, and cried a nose first. Wang Manyin didn't go home for almost a year, and her sister took two children to farm her own land and ground it like an old woman. Sadness and anger made Shao Ping's mood restless for a long time.

He stayed at his sister's house for a few days and helped her cut down some main autumn crops in the field-soon my father and brother will come to help, bringing bad luck and squeezing.

When he left, he gave his sister twenty dollars to measure salt and buy oil.

Shao Ping, with extremely painful feelings, got on the long-distance bus from Guanzi Village to Xiyuan County.

Coming out of Xixian bus station, walking on the familiar slate street, smelling the smell of charcoal smoke in the air, a nostalgic mood suddenly filled my heart. I don't know why, he suddenly remembered a few poems-under the influence of the poet Jia Bing, he also read many poems later.

He silently read in his heart-the memories of the past excited us, and we embarked on the old road again, and all the feelings of the past days gradually lived in our hearts; What makes us nervous again is the familiar tremor; In order to recall my sadness, I really want to take a breath ... Shao Ping walked across the street, tearfully looking for the corner where he had set foot in the past.

It was not until he was near the crossroads that he calmed himself down.

He saw that the old west side seemed to be more chaotic than before. A three-story building has been erected on the north side of Cross Street; Below the county cultural center, an obviously quite large theater is being built, with cement boards, bricks and wood piling up half a street. A bridge is being built on the original Xihe River, and several huge piers stand in the middle of the river. Cars pulling building materials are busy running across the street, and the city is covered with yellow dust. In the street, there are many private stalls and vendors selling food and drinks. Although there was no rally, the crowd was quite crowded and noisy.

Shao Ping suddenly heard someone calling his name.

He looked back and saw that it was a lame woman!

Holding a child, Hou Yuying limped out of a stall covered with a white cloth and walked towards him.

"I recognized you at a glance!" Hou smiled and said excitedly. She is much fatter than before and her face is like a bun.

"This is ...? "Shao Ping pointed to the doll in her arms.

"My! Four months! Yun Yun, give uncle a smile! " Hou Yuying put a finger on the child's chin and the child grinned.

Shao Ping took the child from the lame woman, kissed the fat boy on the face and handed it to her, asking, "When did you get married?"

"The year before last, National Day ... you despised me. I didn't wait for the end, so I found a man ... "Although Hou generously told a joke, her face turned red. Shao Ping's face is red, too. He hasn't met a woman who said that to her face. "What is your lover doing?" He asked.

Hou Yuying turned his head and pointed to the white cloth account.

Shao Ping saw a young man with long hair, who was assiduously taking things and changing money for customers.

"He is also an unemployed youth! Last year, my father gave us a business license, and we started this business ... Business is not bad ... Hey, come to my house for dinner this afternoon! It's been more than two years. I thought you were dead! I ... I still can't forget you ... "Hou bowed his head in shame.

Shao Ping is already very uncomfortable-a lame woman standing in the street said such a thing! He had to politely say, "I'm going to middle school to find my sister, and then I'll go to your home in the city ... You're busy at work, so I'm leaving ..." I quickly greeted Hou and left.

He crossed the street nervously, trying to drown in the crowd. His heart rate didn't return to normal until the stone slope road leading to the middle school.

The unexpected encounter with Hou made me feel deeply. Alas, times have changed, and their generation has begun to look for their own homes. Some of my classmates are married and have children, and live a quiet life. Teenager! Teenager! That's gone forever ... but you're not ready to arrange your life like this. As for what your future looks like, it's still uncertain ... After meeting her sister in middle school, Shao Ping quickly changed her mood. He is glad to see that his sister has grown into a big girl, tall and handsome, with her black hair cut neatly. Shao Ping thought proudly: My sister is the most beautiful girl in Huangyuan City!

He brought spearmint the new clothes he bought in Huangyuan and two sky-blue brushed scarves-one of which was for Jinxiu.

Lan Xiang and Jinxiu bought him white steamed bread and two dishes on the school stove. Three brothers and sisters had lunch in the dormitory. While eating, Jinxiu kept asking about her brother and her father.

The next day, spearmint drove him to the bus station to see him off. While waiting for the bus, she could not help crying.

Shao Pingan comforted her sister and said, "Stop crying! I know you're sad about the separation. Don't be afraid, there is a second brother! You study hard. If you have any difficulties, just write to me and give it to your brother Kimberg. I'm sure I can get it. If you dare to interfere with your study, you will enter the university! I'm afraid that my second brother will never go to college again in my life, but I especially hope that you can go to college. This tone at home depends on you! " Spearmint wiped the tears from her face and nodded to Shao Ping. At noon, Shao Ping got on the bus and headed for Huangyuan City.

After getting off at Huangyuan bus station, there was only fifty cents left on him. He gave all his money to his father, sister and younger sister except the cost of keeping the tickets.

Now, he has returned to this harsh city with his bare hands. It was night shift in the city, and bicycles passed him like a flood.

Once again, he stood outside the waiting room in frustration, thinking about what he should do.

He should get a job at once, otherwise he can barely eat a meal at the stall on fifty cents.

Of course, he can also go to Jinbo or Uncle Cao Jishu in Yanggou tonight to make do. But what about tomorrow? How about the day after tomorrow? No way! You have to have a foothold, have food and earn some money before you can consider anything else.

When he thought so, his legs had begun to move consciously to Dongguan Bridge.

When he mixed into the "labor market" at Daqiaotou, the sun was about to set behind Sparrow Mountain. Some workers who have lost confidence have begun to leave this place.

Shao Ping stood anxiously by the brick wall, with a touch of luck in despair, waiting to see if there was a contractor to "recruit".

With the arrival of dusk, his wishes gradually shattered.

He suddenly thought: can you try your luck at the site where you used to work? He knows that this project has not been completed, but generally speaking, someone will fill the vacancy where he resigned soon.

Despite his hesitation, Shao Ping crossed the Huangyuan River Bridge and headed for the construction site of the Materials Bureau.

He took the remaining 50 cents to buy the box of cigarettes for communication and walked around the construction site several times before finding the foreman.

Now that he is wearing a new suit, the foreman can hardly recognize him. He generously stuffed the box of cigarettes into the foreman's pocket and said, "I'm Sun Shaoping. I'm here again. Now that I have no job, can I work at your place again? " The foreman seems to remember this hard-working coolie. He thought for a moment and said, "I'm full, but I'm alone ... Come on!" " "

Shao Ping almost jumped for joy. He first baked two bowls of dry rice on the stove at the construction site; Then I trotted to Dongguan Jinbo to get his roll of tattered luggage.
