The friends were shocked when they heard Shen Yulin say that Fang Youshun and his wife had taken Shen Yuxiu to beg for food. However, Shen Yulin didn't look like he was cheating, so his face suddenly felt hot and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

It turns out that the life of the Shen family is not easy now. Originally, he wanted to be like the people in the village and shamelessly go to the Shen family to make some food. Fortunately, he has not gone yet, otherwise how embarrassing would it be?

The friends felt guilty and grateful to Shen Yulin. When they returned home, they gave the Cai Wo Wo to their parents. When their parents asked about the background of the Cai Wo Wo, they told Shen Yulin about begging for food. The couple was stunned. I couldn't help but sigh.

I really didn’t expect that people with allowances would actually go begging for food, but this kid in Yulin is really conscientious and would not forget to help his own children when begging for food.

In this way, Shen Yulin took his friend out to ask for a meal, and by some strange combination of circumstances, the fact that Fang Youshun and his wife went out with their children was publicized to everyone.

Shen Jinggui was stunned when he heard the news, but looking at his good brother and squad leader who came to ask him, he still nodded with a heavy face.

"Yes, the old man can't help it. There are nine adults and children at home. How can we survive with just that little allowance?" Shen Jinggui didn't say how much the old man's allowance was, but anyone who heard it knew that it shouldn't be enough. A few dollars, otherwise, the old couple would not go out to beg for food.

The squad leader sighed, patted him on the shoulder and went to work.

He thought that Shen Jinggui would be better off than he was with the help of his father-in-law, but he didn't expect that it was not much better.

But it makes sense when I think about it. My life is better because the family has not been separated yet. There are more adults in the family making money and fewer children who can eat. When working on projects in winter, several of his brothers can take turns to work, and the remaining few The brothers could do other jobs to supplement the family income. But Shen Jinggui separated from the family early. He was the only male laborer in the family. He had to rely on the dam all winter, and it was impossible to find a job to supplement the family income.

However, Shen Jinggui also gave birth to a good daughter. When he went out, he picked up a father-in-law who came back with a stipend and could weave baskets and mats. Otherwise, what would happen to his good brother now?

Shen Jinggui looked at the squad leader's leaving figure and couldn't help but wipe his sweat quietly. For the first time, he felt that his naughty son had done something good.

But at the same time, he was also a little ashamed of his father-in-law. If it weren't for his father-in-law's allowance, his family would probably not be much better than other families in the village.

In the wilderness, the breeze rustled through the wild grass, and Shen Yuxiu sat quietly on the ground, looking seriously at his grandma and grandpa catching fish in the river ditch that was about to dry up.

In front of her was a wooden basin half filled with water, and behind her was a tricycle supporting a shed and a tarpaulin. The place where she sat was just in the shadow of the shed, and was not exposed to the sun at all. Whenever grandma, grandpa When she caught a fish in the ditch and threw it to the shore, she quickly picked it up and put it into the wooden basin she was guarding. She never tired of it.

Yesterday morning, her grandma carried her onto a tricycle while she was still asleep. When she woke up, she was already on the road.

Shen Yuxiu is a person who loves novelty. When she woke up and heard her grandma tell her that her grandpa was going to take them out to play, she easily accepted it and sat obediently with her grandma in the tricycle bucket all the way, letting her grandpa take her. The two of them kept walking forward, looking at the unfamiliar scenery along the way.

Along the way, her grandma pointed at the flowers and trees she encountered from time to time, and kept telling her what they were called, what they could do, whether they could be eaten, and what they tasted like, which opened her eyes a lot.

, and also learned a lot of things that I didn’t know before.

Every time my grandfather saw some beautiful wild flowers, he would stop and pick some beautiful wild flowers, make a garland for her and put it on her head.

Therefore, up to now, Shen Yuxiu has not felt bored at all, and is even extremely beautiful. Especially today, her grandfather took her to catch fish again, and she felt that it was really good and very happy to go out and play.

In the middle of the afternoon, there were already more than half of the fish in the basin. Fang Youshun saw that there were only a few small fish left in the ditch, so he asked Grandma Fang to go ashore first. At the same time, he raised his voice and said to Shen Yuxiu: "Xiaoxiu, throw away the other basin in the car.

Come down."

"Hey." Shen Yuxiu agreed crisply, turned around, pulled out a smaller basin from the tricycle, and threw it down.

Fang Youshun took the basin that Shen Yuxiu had thrown down and washed his hands in another puddle nearby. Then he filled a basin with water and slowly stepped ashore in the mud.

After landing on the shore, Fang Youshun and Grandma Fang washed the mud off their hands and feet with water in the basin, and then looked at the basin of fish that Shen Yuxiu was guarding.

"Hey, that's quite a lot." Fang Youshun said with a smile and put the water basin on the tricycle, let the two women get on the car and sit down, then pedaled the tricycle again and took the two women toward a small town.

It was already evening when the three of them arrived in the town. At this time, people had already begun to prepare fires for cooking. Fang Youshun, an old man and a young child, rode a tricycle through the streets and started selling fish.

Nowadays, supplies are in short supply everywhere, especially food. When some people who are still living well-off heard that there was a fish seller, they even forgot to put down the cooking spatula in their hands and ran out in a hurry. When they saw the fish in their basin,

They were so lively that they immediately asked about the price. After a while, there were only a dozen small fish left in the basin.

Fang Youshun didn't sell the remaining small fish. He used the money from selling the fish to buy a few kilograms of coarse grains from the supply and marketing cooperative. Then he took his mother and daughter to find a family to stay at, and the remaining half of the fish became their accommodation.

The other half was made into fish soup for them to drink.

Maybe it was because she also participated in the labor. When Shen Yuxiu drank the delicious fish soup, she was so satisfied that she felt that there was no better fish soup in the world.

Maybe it was because she was a little tired from constantly getting up and sitting down to collect fish all afternoon. Shen Yuxiu fell asleep in a daze not long after Grandma Fang finished washing her in the evening.

In the dark night, when Fang Youshun was lying on the bed of his hostel and about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard his wife's voice: "Old man, what do you think we should look for the bones of the second brother? If we can find it, I think.

Take him back to his hometown for burial. If the second son is not reincarnated yet and returns to his hometown, the ancestors there can also help us take care of him."

Fang Youshun was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then asked her: "Do you still remember the specific location of the burial? If you don't remember, it may be difficult to find."

"In the land north of Minquan, I remember there was a battle trench there, and there was a locust tree beside the trench. It was too chaotic at the time, so my daughter and I hurriedly buried him beside the locust tree and left. As long as the trench

It's still there, the locust tree is still there, so you can almost find it." Grandma Fang tried hard to recall the past, but now it has been more than 20 years, and she doesn't know if there has been any change there.

In fact, she originally wanted to find her son's body, but the sky was high and the road was far away. At that time, she was in a hurry to escape. She didn't know which direction Minquan County was. In addition, there were a lot of chaos in those years, so naturally she never could.

OK.

After she finally settled down with her daughter, more than ten years had passed, and she knew that there was little hope of looking for her again, so she just gave up her thoughts. But these two days, Fang Youshun went wherever he pleased, and she suddenly

I remembered this thing again.

Anyway, walking blindly is just walking, so why not go there and take a look. If the place hasn't changed, you can find your son's bones and solve a problem in your heart, right?

"Okay, let's go there tomorrow." Fang Youshun agreed happily. Anyway, begging for food means running around, no matter where you go. It would be a good thing if you can find your son's body and return home.

So Fang Youshun headed towards his hometown with a clear goal the next day. From that day on, Shen Yuxiu discovered that her grandfather took her and her grandma to ride a tricycle non-stop. Her butt hurt from doing it on the car.

Grandpa was unwilling to stop and let her go out and do some activities.
