Brother, brother

Tian Guangyi from Tianjia Village came back on crutches. The village director Tian Guangqiang, who had learned the news in advance, picked him up at the entrance of the village. When he saw his desolate look, Tian Guangqiang's brows twisted into a big knot. Tian Guangqiang sighed for a reason. Last year, Tian Guangyong injured his left leg when he went out to work and became disabled. He is an old bachelor. After returning to the village, he lived with his younger brother. His sister-in-law thought he was a burden and wanted him to receive the five guarantees. After Tian Guangqiang found out, he reported to the township every month to apply, and finally the township agreed to give him a quota. Who knows, Tian Guangyi is also disabled, and they are all brothers. Who should this quota be given to? Logically speaking, this spot should be given to Tian Guangyong. But Tian Guangqiang couldn't bear it. When Tian Guangyi was more than ten years old, his parents were both killed in a car accident. He began to eat hundreds of meals in the village, and was looked down upon when he was full and hungry. Later, he went out to work, and there was no news about him for more than ten years. Not long ago, he suddenly asked someone to bring him a message, telling him that his leg was broken in a car accident, and the vehicle that caused the accident escaped. He spent all his savings and failed to save the leg. He really couldn't survive anymore. , wanted to go back to the village and asked Tian Guangqiang if he could have five guarantees. The next morning after returning to the village, Tian Guangyi came to Tian Guangqiang's house on a crutch and asked about the five guarantees. Looking at Tian Guangyi, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, Tian Guangqiang felt very sad. He didn't hide it and said, "Guangyi, I don't know who should give this place." Tian Guangyi knew that this place was not for him. He took a few puffs of cigarette silently and said, "Brother Guangqiang, do you think you can apply for a place in the countryside? I have nothing now, I can't do farm work, and I can't live without the five guarantees." Tian Guangqiang shook his head helplessly. Said: "You don't know, in recent years, many people in our township have gone out to work. Because they are not very educated, they do the most heavy and dangerous work, and people are injured every year. This quota is transferred from other villages by the township "I've been to the countryside a few times recently, and they said that this year has exceeded the budget, and there is nothing they can do for the time being." Tian Guangyi's mouth twitched a few times, he stood up with difficulty, and staggered away from Tian Guangqiang's house. As soon as he left, Tian Guangyong entered Tian Guangqiang's house and shouted after entering: "Tian Guangqiang, did you promise that quota to Tian Guangyi?" Tian Guangqiang looked at him in shock: "Who said I promised Tian Guangyi "Don't care who said that!" Tian Guangyong leaned against the door frame of his house and said with a sideways glance, "Tell you, if you give Tian Guangyi that spot, I will live in your house!" Abducted. The quota has not yet come down and has already been competed for. Tian Guangqiang sighed and thought for a while. He came to the village committee and broadcast with a loudspeaker: "All villagers, all villagers, come to the village committee for a meeting in the afternoon. One person from each household must come!" What the hell, they all rushed to the village committee in the afternoon. Seeing everyone gathered, Tian Guangqiang coughed and said, "I called everyone here this time to discuss one thing. There is only one place for the five guarantees. Which one do you think is better for Guangyong and Guangyi?" None of the villagers expected that Tian Guangqiang would ask them. Discussing this matter, if you think about it carefully, it is really a bit difficult. Many people are undecided and are afraid of offending others. Seeing that no one took a stand, Tian Guangqiang's lips curled up slightly, and he knocked on the table and said, "Since none of you have taken a stand, we can only vote by secret ballot. Whoever gets more votes between the two of them will be the five-guaranteed household. Look, How about it?" Tian Guangyong couldn't sit still in the audience. He stood up unsteadily and said, "This spot was originally reserved for me. I've been waiting for a year. Why should I vote now? Yi is still young, and he is not afraid of being laughed at if he takes the five guarantees!"

Tian Guangqiang glanced at him and said, "Guangyong, what you said doesn't sound right. Guang Yi is younger than you, but look at him! With his current body, can he still work? Besides, he doesn’t have any brothers or sisters, so who can he rely on?” Tian Guangyong was choked and speechless. The villagers heard the implication of Tian Guangqiang's words and thought that Tian Guangyong was disabled, but after all, he still had a brother. They could wait another year or two, so they voted for Tian Guangyi one after another. Tian Guangqiang supports Tian Guangyi, which makes Tian Guangyong embarrassed. That evening, he carried the quilt on his back to Tian Guangqiang's house. Without entering the main room, he put the quilt under the eaves and sat down. Tian Guangqiang frowned when he saw this: "Brother Guangyong, which song are you singing about?" "Which song?" Tian Guangyong snorted coldly, "I am a disabled person with no livelihood. If I have difficulties, I will not go to the leader. Who are you looking for? I won’t leave until it’s solved!” After saying that, he leaned on the quilt and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep. Tian Guangqiang glanced at him, said nothing, turned around and left. When it was time to eat, Tian Guangqiang came out and said, "Brother Guangyong, come over and eat together.

Tian Guangyong was so hungry that his stomach growled, but he was embarrassed, so he said angrily: "How can I dare to eat your director's food?" "Although he said it in anger, everyone could tell that he wanted to find a step for himself, where he could eat and save face. But what he didn't expect was that Tian Guangqiang didn't use the donkey to get off the slope. He smiled and said : "I called you. Since you don't eat, you can't say that I don't care about your food in the future. "It was self-defeating. Tian Guangyong held back his anger. He stood up with difficulty, picked up the quilt, walked out of Tian Guangqiang's house, and sat outside the gate. This trick worked very well, and soon many villagers gathered outside Tian Guangqiang's house. Tian Guangyong's purpose was to win sympathy and then let Tian Guangqiang change the voting results. The more people there were, the happier he would be. At this time, Tian Guangyi led someone to Tian Guangqiang's house. Seeing him sitting at the door, he asked in confusion: "Brother Guangyong, you are like this." Yes..." Tian Guangyong rolled his eyes at him, snorted and said, "I'm not as lucky as you. I can take the five guarantees at a young age. Tian Guangyi's face turned red with ridicule, and he almost shed tears. He lowered his head and led the man into Tian Guangqiang's house. After a while, he came out again and said to Tian Guangyong: "Brother Guangyong, that I don’t want the spot anymore. " "real? Tian Guangyong didn't believe his ears. He opened his eyes wide and asked again, "Don't you regret it?" "No regrets!" Tian Guangyi said with a wry smile, "I want to find a job so as not to be looked down upon by others." "Since Tian Guangyi gave up the quota to him, there was no need for Tian Guangyong to fuck in front of Tian Guangqiang's house anymore. But when he got home and thought about it, he felt something was wrong. With Tian Guangyi's physique, he was swaying when he walked. What can he do? So early the next morning, he came to Tian Guangqiang's house and asked tentatively: "Did you help find Tian Guangyi's job? "

Tian Guangqiang didn't know what Tian Guangyong meant, so he said: "The township health center is looking for a gatekeeper. I know the director. He learned about Guangyi's situation and decided to let him go. The monthly salary is three hundred. "How come all the good things happened to Tian Guangyi? No wonder he didn't want that quota! Tian Guangyong was so envious that his teeth itched with envy. Thinking about how little money he had every month even if he took the five guarantees, he became unbalanced and said : "Guang Qiang, I don't want that quota anymore, I want to go to the health center to visit the gate!" " "What did you say? Tian Guangqiang looked at him in surprise, his eyes almost falling to the ground. "Since the dean asked you to help find someone, I should also be considered!" Tian Guangyi already has a place in the Five Guarantees, and you still ask him to visit the door. Isn't this unfair? "Aren't you crying and asking for that spot?" Tian Guangqiang was annoyed, "I don't want it for you now. Is there anyone like you?" Tian Guangqiang was angry, and Tian Guangyong also felt aggrieved: "It's not fair if you just let him go. Either we choose again, or we go on a trial together. If they keep him, I will come back and take the five guarantees. If he wants me, he will come back." , this is only fair! " Tian Guangyong was so messy and unruly that Tian Guangqiang had no choice but to go to Tian Guangyi to discuss it first. On the way, he thought that if Tian Guangyi didn't agree, he would have to choose again. But to his surprise, Tian Guangyi agreed. , and said that he would go to Tian Guangyong in person two days later. Two days later, Tian Guangyi came to Tian Guangyong's house as scheduled. It was raining heavily and the mountain road was muddy, and Tian Guangyong wanted to go another day. : "It's not good to not be punctual after you've made an agreement with someone. If you don't go, I'll go. "Tian Guangyong didn't want to leave a bad impression on the health center, so he had no choice but to follow him. After leaving the village, the mountain road became even more difficult to walk. Tian Guangyi's body was weak and he gradually fell behind Tian Guangyong. Tian Guangyong was too evil-minded. As he walked, he thought, even Tian Guangqiang thinks my request is unreasonable, why doesn't Tian Guangyi object? Besides, it's raining so heavily today, why does Tian Guangyi insist on going? Now Tian Guangyi is lagging behind me. There can't be any bad intentions, right? Tian Guangyong was thinking so wildly that he shivered because it was raining and cold or something. He didn't dare to go any further and stood on the side of the road waiting for Tian Guangyi to catch up and said: " Guangyi, it's raining too hard. My eyesight is bad. Please go ahead. " Tian Guangyi didn't know what he was thinking, so he walked in front. After a while, the two came to a small bridge. Looking at Tian Guangyi's shaky appearance when he crossed the bridge, Tian Guangyong's heart moved again. This time they went It's still unclear who will stay in the health center. Maybe the dean has already reached an agreement with Tian Guangyi, and Tian Guangyi asked him to go, just for show.

If Tian Guangyi couldn't go...then wouldn't it be certain that he was the one who looked at the gate? This thought was unstoppable as soon as it came up. Tian Guangyong shook his head, trying to get rid of this evil thought, but his sister-in-law's disgusted eyes and vicious sarcasm flashed in his mind. How much he hoped that he could support himself, but he couldn't. Don’t live under someone else’s roof again! Thinking of this, Tian Guangyong stopped, his eyes fixed on Tian Guangyi who was crossing the bridge. Suddenly he shouted: "No!" Then he squatted down and pulled his hair in pain. Tian Guangyong's shout didn't matter. It startled Tian Guangyi who was walking in front. He didn't know what happened and turned around to look. However, due to the accumulation of water on the ground, his crutches slipped on the bridge and his body tilted. He fell into the fast-flowing river under the bridge. Tian Guangyong was stunned by this sudden turn of events. He screamed strangely and hurriedly walked onto the bridge with his crutch. He leaned down and stretched out his crutch to hook Tian Guangyi. But the current was turbulent, and Tian Guangyi had already been swept away by the waves. He couldn't catch it, but accidentally fell down. Tian Guangyi was lucky. After being washed away by the river for a certain distance, he hugged the roots of a big tree by the river and was later rescued by nearby villagers. Tian Guangyong was not so lucky. When the villagers of Tianjiacun found him, he was already dead. At Tian Guangyong's funeral, Tian Guangyi choked up and said: "Brother Guangyong, we are all disabled. I can understand your mood. I originally wanted to ask the dean to allow us to take turns guarding the gate, so that not only can we We support ourselves and take care of each other, but why is your life so miserable?"
