Xiaobing is the most worried child in the second uncle's family. His mother held his hand and whispered: "I've sent your mother to the best hospital in the past two days, but to tell you the truth, it's a bit late now, and my aunt can't tell you whether it can be cured, but I can guarantee you to find the best doctor to stay in the best hospital. No matter how much it costs to stay, my aunt will take care of it. If it's cured, you don't need to remember it. I hope you study hard and grow up. If it's not cured, then my aunt is your mother. Do you care about it in your life? Do you remember it?"

The soldier wiped his sleeves and glanced at him, "um" in a dull voice, nodded, and held the dozens of dollars in his hand tightly. At this time, for him, that was not money, but reliance.

The death of the second aunt in the last life was the soldier. His studies plummeted and he became silent. When he was a child, he could make trouble and make trouble all day long and laugh all day long. He suddenly seemed to be a few decades old, always staying alone in the corner, saying ten words to him was in exchange for a hum. Gradually, the children stopped playing with him, and their academic performance became worse and worse, and they became silent.

This lasted until he was fifteen or sixteen years old. Brother Xinghong saw that this would not work, so he found connections to bring the soldiers into the army. He worked as a soldier for more than ten years and gradually got better. But he didn't talk much, and he didn't look like he was when he was a child.

My mother turned her head and said to the second aunt, "You should pack up quickly, go straight to the city and be hospitalized. You don't have to worry about your family and take care of your illness." After a pause, my mother said again, "I'm not treating you, I'm looking at the child."

The second aunt smiled awkwardly and nodded.

The second uncle was so happy that he poured water for his mother, handed him cigarettes, set up a table to arrange meals, and wanted to go out to buy wine, but his father stopped him. To be honest, except for the dead uncle, no one in the Zhang Xingming family can drink and like to drink.

Several children also helped, and arranged the tables and chairs in a row, and everyone sat down to have a meal.

At this time, there was really nothing to eat in rural Northeast China.

The potatoes are stewed with pork bones and pork. The New Year is just over, and there is still pork. After a few days, I guess I can only add some meat oil.

Stewed with radish and mixed bones, stewed with potatoes from old hens, three large pots are placed in the middle of the table, and a few bowls of pickles are placed next to it. This is a very hearty meal, and few families in the castle can eat this way.

The staple food is mixed with steamed buns and two rice, corn, and crab apples and rice.

People in Northeast China have the habit of steaming buns during the Chinese New Year. After steaming, they are frozen outside. If you want to eat, take them back and steam them.

Fortunately, I have this habit, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to eat this meal. Zhang Xingming’s family has about ten people. If I cook now, I would probably have to go until midnight.

After a meal, the dry soup was gone, and the steamed buns were reserved to freezing point. Haha, it was mainly because half-aged children and a few soldiers were too edible.

After dinner, everyone sat down and rested for a while, drank some water, and my mother arranged to leave. She had to go to Uncle Wu and Uncle's house in the afternoon. No one of these people could live outside, and they could not stay in the car in this cold winter.

The second aunt cleaned up for a while, but there was nothing to take. She took Sister Xiaoying and Xiaobing and the group out of the yard and walked down.

Uncle Liu’s house is right by the river, and it is still the same dilapidated house. When everyone walked to the door, Uncle Liu was sitting on the stone at the door looking at the sky in a black cotton jacket.

My father and mother discussed it and planned to take my sixth uncle to the city, get him a house, give him some living expenses a month, or arrange a job for him, which is better than being hungry in this fort.

But who knew that when my father talked to Uncle Six, he kept shaking his head, not leaving, and never going anywhere. He gestured for a while, but didn't know what he meant. Uncle Six had never been to school and had no place to learn mute language. He relied on self-taught and became a talent. He didn't know what it meant even if he didn't spend a long time with him.

The soldier said on the side: "Uncle San, Uncle Six said he has land and food. He has many acquaintances here and has work to do. You don't have to raise anyone in the city, so he won't go."

Uncle Six thought for a while, nodded, gave the little soldier a thumbs up, and smiled at his father.

Although he is born mute, he can hear sounds, as long as the sound is not too small.

My father looked back at my mother and said, "If you don't go, don't go. He doesn't know anyone there. He is used to staying in the countryside, so he really can't live well. Leave more money for Lao Liu and ask him to make up the house. If you want to buy anything, you can buy it yourself. Give more money in the future."

Zhang Xingming said: "My mother is right, and I don't agree with taking Uncle Six into the city. He has been in the fort since he was a child and has never been out. It's not possible to go out at all. Normal people have to adapt for a while, and he can't communicate with others."

Everyone came to see him together. Uncle Six was very happy. No one came to him normally. Only during the New Year holiday, the second uncle, as a brother, gave him some money or things, and he wouldn't come normally. Uncle Fourth had a hard time living on his own.

Uncle Six gestured and asked who these people were, and his father said to him: "This is the eldest, the eldest, this is the second, this is the third, the youngest, just like you."

Uncle Six came over and looked carefully one by one, reached out to his brother's three heads and touched them. After entering the house for a while, he whisked out more than ten yuan, counting to give New Year's money.

He grew up watching the children of the second uncle and the fourth uncle's family since he was a child, and he was familiar with them. To be honest, because of the adults, the few of them did not have a good attitude towards the sixth uncle, and the sixth uncle ignored them. Among these brothers, only the father, who would come back to see him and give him something to pay for money. He remembered it well.

My mother laughed and said, "Lao Liu is quite generous. This little money is probably the minimum amount of money he has."

The younger brother scratched his head and asked, "Why don't you want it or not? Uncle Six is ​​not as rich as me yet. Why don't I give it to Uncle Six, mom, okay?"

My mother said, "Where do you still have money? Didn't you give it to your second brother?"

The younger brother glanced at Zhang Xingming and whispered: "It's a little bit."

My mother laughed and said, "You have to pay the New Year's money you gave me. After that, let your father leave more money for him. You can't give it now. You are young. I'll give it to you when you are older, and you can give it to him for retirement at that time."

Uncle Six came over happily. The three brothers and brothers gave each of them five dollars. In fact, this is really a lot. Even if the city gives children New Year's money, not many people will give them five dollars.

The three brothers took the money, and when the sixth uncle saw that they were all holding it, he gestured happily for a long time.

Even though the sixth uncle didn't leave, my father didn't force him, and gave him five hundred yuan and said, "I'll come after the New Year, so you can move to the fourth brother's house to live in. Don't want this, sell it."

Uncle Six was stunned for a while, pointed to the house, rubbed his fingers, and looked at his father. The father nodded and said, "Yes, I sold it, don't want it. Next year you can move down there, the fourth brother, your fourth brother's house, you can move there."

Uncle Six competed with four, dad nodded, Uncle Six competed with hugging, and then compared his palm downwards, and said a few times to dad.

Xiaobing said: "Uncle Six asked you where to live in the fourth uncle. He said that Uncle Fourth has a wife, and the child is so old, so it's not okay to have no house."

My father said to my uncle: "The fourth brother goes to my place and moves away. I will leave the house for you."

Xiaobing came over and gestured with Uncle Six. Among these children, he and Uncle Six had been together the longest time and were the only one who could communicate with him.

After a long time, Uncle Six nodded, nodded to his father again, and gestured to carry things. The soldier said, "Uncle Six said okay, you don't have to come, he can move it himself."

My father said, "That's right, he only has two quilts to clean up in his house, so it's easy to move. Then leave, leave quickly and get to the city early."

After saying goodbye to Uncle Six, the group turned around and crossed the river along the ice surface and went to the valley to pick up the car.

Uncle Six took the money given by his father and stood at the door with a little reluctant look as everyone walked away.
