fisherman's evening

Chapter 97 Hometown Bright Moon
This time, Guangcheng made up his mind to stay in Yujiawa Village for a while, so he took a full month's leave.

Today, Guangfa's daughter-in-law returned home early, and Guangfa asked her to clean up Guangcheng's room in advance.

"Guangcheng, the East House has been tidied up for you." Seeing Guangcheng's return, Guangfa's wife said, "The quilts are all freshly dried, and they are very clean."

"Thank you sister-in-law." Guangcheng said with a smile: "My brother is truly blessed to have you in charge."

Guangfa's daughter-in-law was a little embarrassed, after all, it was the first time her brother-in-law praised her.

"Oh, that's right." Guangcheng suddenly thought of something, so after putting down his luggage, he took out a large group of things wrapped in newspaper from a bag, and handed it to Guangfa's wife.

Guangfa on the side saw the mimeograph on the newspaper, leaned over and asked, "What is this?"

"Take it apart and have a look." Guangfa smiled and said, "Today we will improve our lives."

Guangfa's daughter-in-law quickly opened the newspaper and looked at the red and white things in front of her.

"Pork ribs! There's still an elbow." Guangfa's daughter-in-law said, "There are so many? Isn't it cheap?"

Before returning home, Guangfa went to the vegetable market and bought three catties of pork ribs and a elbow. He thought that he would eat it with his brother and sister-in-law when he came home. Maybe his brother-in-law rarely eats pork, let alone pork ribs and elbows.

"Sister-in-law, I have to trouble you to stew." Guangcheng smiled, and said again: "Today, let's not call anyone, just the three of us, and wipe them out!"

Guangfa looked at the pork ribs inside, swallowed, and said, "It's a lot of money, right?"

Guangcheng spent a week's wages on these ribs and elbows.

"I don't have much money. I do things for the unit, and it will be issued by the unit in the future." Guangcheng lied, fearing that Guangfa would feel sorry for the money.

"Then your unit is really good."

"Haha, it's okay."

"..."

The two brothers were chatting, and Guangfa's daughter-in-law went to stew the meat. Once the door was locked, the family was waiting for a big meal.

On the other side, Tian Shengke felt very uncomfortable.

He is used to having meat at home, but he didn't see oil or water all day today, and he was somewhat complaining in his heart.

"Uncle Yu, shall we have some meat?" Tian Sheng asked in a low voice while watching Yu Laosan who was cooking.

"Meat? Are you greedy for meat?" Yu Lao San was stunned, and said that the kid hadn't cooked a decent meal of meat in the past two days since he came to his house.

Tian Sheng nodded fiercely and said, "I'm a bit greedy."

Since he came from Yujiawa, Zhang Shugen invited him to eat a piece of fish. The rest of the meals included sweet potatoes and wild vegetable soup.

"Okay, I'll buy some pork for you tomorrow." Yu Lao San smiled awkwardly, and got busy cooking again.

At night, the bright moon over Yujiawa Village was particularly bright, and Guangfa was moving the table to the yard. This was Guangcheng's request, and he must eat in the yard.

Guangfa's daughter-in-law waited for Guangfa to set the table firmly, and brought up the pot of ribs and elbows one after another.

"Brother, look at the moon tonight." Guang Cheng said, "Does it look like when we were young?"

Guangcheng misses the scene of playing with Guangfa in the yard when he was a child.

Guangfa looked up at the nearly round moon in the sky, but couldn't understand what Guangcheng meant at this moment.After all, Guangfa stayed in the village to work as a farmer, so he didn't have the literati atmosphere like Guangcheng.

"How can the moon change?" Guangfa gnawed on the ribs and said, "The ribs are really delicious."

"Do you still remember that our mother gave us stewed meat during Chinese New Year that year?" Guangcheng said again: "She also said that she and our father don't like to eat meat, but like to eat bones, so we both eat the meat Yes, the rest of the bones are still gnawed by our parents again."

"Hey. It's been so long, why are you thinking about this?" Guangfa didn't want to think about the past, knocked on the table with his chopsticks, and said, "If you don't eat, the food will be cold!"

Guangcheng woke up from his memories, smiled wryly, and started to eat. He was in the city and although he was earning a salary, he would not be willing to let him have a big meal.

"Come on, you two have a drink." Guangfa's daughter-in-law took out a bottle of liquor from the house, which she bought for Guangfa the last time she went to town.

Guangfa and Guangcheng, taking advantage of the moonlight and the flickering yellow lights on the eaves, ate to their heart's content and their mouths were full of oil.

Satisfied with wine and food, Guangfa's daughter-in-law was busy cleaning up the bones and bowls and chopsticks on the table.

"Guangcheng, what's wrong with you?" Guangfa looked at Guangcheng who was staring at the sky in a daze after drinking a little wine at the moment, and said, "I feel that something is wrong with you when you come back this time."

"It's okay, brother, I just miss our parents a little bit." Guangcheng wiped the wet corners of his eyes, and said: "When we were young, our parents were there, so we didn't worry about anything."

Since Guangfa and Guangcheng's parents passed away, Guangcheng returned to the village less and less frequently, and Guangfa also felt very uncomfortable in those years.Fortunately, I have been relieved in the past two years, and Guangfawen thinks about living a good life.

But now, Guangcheng brought up his parents again, and Guangfa's emotions were also aroused. In the eyes of outsiders, Guangfa is an honest and generous person, but when he thinks of his parents, he feels very fragile.

"Don't talk about it, it's been several years." Guangfa interrupted Guangcheng's sadness, and said: "Parent and mother are gone, we two brothers have to live a good life."

Guangcheng listened to Guangfa's words, but didn't seem to listen. He got up alone, went to the shed of the firewood house, and went outside the gate, looking east and west.

"What are you doing?" Guangfa also stood up, patted Guangcheng's arm, and said: "Go back to the house and rest, don't think about uncomfortable things in your mind, just sleep."

Late at night in spring, some insects have already begun to be restless, and the occasional chirping of insects is particularly piercing in the quiet night.

"Brother, I'll go to work with you on the road tomorrow." Guangcheng, who had been silent for a long time, said, "When the road in our village is repaired, I'll introduce you a way to make money."

"That's good, then I'll earn a lot of money, and I can eat pork ribs every meal. Hehe." Guangfa said: "This meal relieves my hunger, and the next meal will make me hungry again, hehe..."

Guangcheng knew that his own brother hadn't eaten oil or water for a long time, and the first time he started eating meat, he aroused this addiction, and he wanted to eat it after eating.

"When life is better in the future, you don't think so." Guangcheng smiled faintly, and said again: "Eating meat every day will definitely make you tired."

"I'm not greasy!" Guangfa joked: "I have a long fleshy body, and I'm not greasy after eating meat."

Guangcheng smiled and shook his head. In front of his family, including his younger brother, Guangfa will always be like a child.

"Okay, brother, go back to sleep." Guangcheng put his hand on Guangfa's shoulder.

Guangfa got drunk and was also sleepy, so he went into the yard with Guangcheng and went back to sleep.

Before Guangcheng returned to his room, he looked up at the nearly round moon in the sky, and sighed, "My hometown is full of bright moon!"
