fisherman's evening

Chapter 4 Yu Guangfa's Brother
When Yu Lao San returned home, he sat in front of the earth stove that was about to go out, tapped the firewood slag on the ground with a cigarette stick, and muttered to himself, "Why do you want to sell the boat?"

After that, he got up thoughtfully and walked out of the house again. At this time, the sun had already climbed to the halfway up the mountain, and the fog in the forest slowly dissipated along with the smoke from the cooking in the village.

After turning a few corners, Yu Laosan arrived at the door of Yu Guangfa's house.

dong dong dong!dong dong dong!
"Is Guangfa at home?" Yu Laosan knocked hard on the courtyard door of Yu Guangfa's house.

"Here we come!" It was Yu Guangfa's daughter-in-law who spoke: "Secretary Jianguo, why are you here in the middle of the noon?"

"I'm here to discuss something with Guangfa."

"That's unfortunate, Guangfa went to the town to pick up his brother."

"Guangcheng is back?"

"Yes, I heard that there is a holiday in the city, so I'll go back to the village to have a look, and I haven't been home for several years." Guangfa's daughter-in-law responded.

Yu Guangcheng is Yu Guangfa's biological brother. According to seniority, these two brothers are still the same grandpa as Yu Laosan, so they can still be related to some extent.Ten years ago, one of these two brothers joined the army, and the other became a party member and went to work in the city. They can be said to be the most decent brothers in the village.

"Okay, then I understand. You tell Guangfa and Guangcheng to go to my house first when you get back. I still have half a catty of sorghum wine!" Yu Laosan said to Guangfa's wife with a smile.

"Medium! I'm sure to say." Guangfa's daughter-in-law smiled: "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

"No, there is still work to be done on the mountain." After finishing speaking, Yu Lao San turned and walked home.

On the other side, Yu Guangfa came to the station of the town. The town is called Kuohai Town, which is 30 miles away from Yujiawa Village.It is the largest town in Shanhai County. Because the villages here are scattered and there are ravines everywhere, it is also the poorest town.

"call-"

The daily round-trip bus from the county seat to the town turns into the main street of the town at this time, and the dilapidated stone road is matched with this old and faded bus.

Yu Guangfa saw the bus from a long distance, and trotted all the way to meet it.

"Squeak—" came the harsh sound of opening the door.

"It's wide sea, go to the back to get your luggage, get out of the car, get out of the car." The driver tilted his head and shouted backwards.

People in twos and threes started to get out of the car, and Yu Guangfa paced and looked into the car, looking forward to his younger brother whom he hadn't seen for two years.

"Brother!" A loud voice came from the car door, it was Yu Guangcheng.

Seeing this, Yu Guangfa quickly walked up in three steps and two steps, and took the luggage from Guangcheng's hand.

"came back!"

"Brother, our town hasn't changed at all!"

"Nothing has changed, nothing has changed."

The two of you had to walk down the street, toward Yu Guangfa's big-beam bicycle that he bought when he retired from the army.

Thirty miles away, Yu Guangcheng's luggage was tied to the beam of the bicycle, and Yu Guangcheng sat behind him, who was kicked back by Yu Guangfa abruptly. From noon to dusk, the brothers ate two white flour buns on the way. It was saved by GF in the past two days.

"Guangcheng is back."

"Hey, isn't this Guangcheng?"

"Is it Guangcheng?"

At dusk, the old men chatting in the village saw the two brothers and rushed to ask.

"Guangcheng hasn't been home for a few years, right?" asked the only slightly refined old man among this group of people full of rural atmosphere.

"Yes, Uncle Wu." Guangfa did not wait for Guangcheng to answer, and grinned for his younger brother.

This old man Wu is also a native of the village. The knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine passed down from his ancestors made him the only doctor in the village. However, when he came to him, he had no children under his knees.

"Uncle Wu, are you in good health?" Guang Cheng beckoned.

"I'm getting old, I'm getting worse day by day!" Old man Wu was quite honest.

"I'll come see you with my brother tomorrow!" Yu Guangfa felt a little lost, riding his bicycle back and forth as he wobbled home.

At the west end of the village, Yu Lao San counted the time, thinking that it was time for the brothers to come back.So he covered the earthen stove and walked to Guangfa's house without locking the door.

"The two brothers, it's been a long time." Yu Laosan muttered to himself again.
