Bottom line

The dilapidated bus that Liu Jun and the mute took back to Wutong Township was actually a medium-sized bus with a capacity of 19 people, but it was crowded with 35 people, which shows that the traffic in impoverished counties is tight.

The mute tightly clutched the black plastic bag containing a huge sum of 20 yuan, looking around, looking at everyone in the car, guessing who might be the bad guy, in the eyes of the mute, except for his Ah Jun Brother, everyone needs to be vigilant.

Although the bus was old and bumpy all the way, it was safe and sound. When Liu Jun and Dumb arrived at the government bus station of Wutong Township, the moon was already hanging on the branches, and the stars were twinkling in the night sky. The light meal continued on the way.

Due to the large number of people in the car, Liu Jun and the mute did not dare to say more about the 20 yuan. On the way home after dinner in the village, Liu Jun asked the mute what he thought of the sudden 20 yuan. ?How to spend so much money in the future?

The mute gestured excitedly. He never deliberately concealed his thoughts in front of Liu Jun, and frankly expressed that the money from robbing the rich and helping the poor should not be in vain.

As for how to use the money, the mute didn't think about it, saying that Liu Jun could spend it as he wanted, and with this money, he would follow Liu Jun everywhere in the future.

Liu Jun expressed his worries to the mute, saying that with so much money suddenly, what would Liu Jun's father and Tian Xiuhua think?Don't worry about your parents and stepmother to death, they will probably think that Liu Jun was stolen or robbed.

If you have money, you have the right to pretend you have no money, and you have to pretend to be poor when you go home, and you can't make it public. Liu Jun has his own ideas, and the huge sum of 20 yuan can't be used too much for the time being. Opportunity to invest money to do business is.There is a saying that if you have food in your hands, don’t panic in your heart. If you have money, your heart will calm down, even though the source of the money is embarrassing.

Liu Jun and the mute walked and chatted, and it was late at night when they returned to Longshang Village. In order not to disturb their father and Tian Xiuhua, they dozed off at the door of their house until dawn.

There was a creak and the sound of the door bolt being pushed and pulled. Tian Xiuhua, who was wearing a set of Liu Dekui's shirt and trousers, was carrying a big bamboo basket and a sickle. Dozing off, I feel very distressed, these two children are honest and kind, presumably they didn't knock on the door to fall asleep because they were afraid of waking their parents in the middle of the night.

Mute people are more vigilant, even when they fall asleep and take a nap, they hold the 20 plastic bag tied to their belt with their hands. When they heard the door open, they patted Liu Jun and stood up laughing.

"Ah Jun, Ah Li, what are you two doing like this? Go back to the room and go to sleep." Tian Xiuhua said, and went out.

The mute snatched the bamboo basket and sickle from Tian Xiuhua's hand, and pointed to the bags by the door.

"What is that?" Tian Xiuhua asked.

The mute smiled at Liu Jun, and ran away to hunt pigweed.

"Auntie, I brought you some clothes, let's go." Liu Jun handed over the clothes he bought for Tian Xiuhua, and his attitude towards Tian Xiuhua was always indifferent. After speaking, he brought two bottles of wine into the room .

Tian Xiuhua opened the bag and saw some beautiful new clothes. Tears flowed down on the spot. Ah Jun, a motherless child, was kind-hearted and treated her neither cold nor cold on the surface, but she still remembered her as a stepmother in her heart.

What saddened Tian Xiuhua was that after returning home from school, her own two sons and daughters saw her as if they were hiding from the plague, and they didn't even recognize her as a mother.

"Dad, I bought you two bottles of high-quality baijiu, which are much more refreshing than Gu Shao." Ah Jun came to the room where his father slept, and said to his father who was lying on the bed with his legs crippled.

"Ah Jun, where did you get the money to buy wine?" Liu Dekui coughed, glanced at the drink sign, looked at Liu Jun vigilantly, not only frowned, although these two bottles of liquor were not the national ones in the news broadcast, Moutai wine, but it also costs 100 yuan a bottle, and two bottles of wine cost more than [-].

Liu Jun lied frankly: "Dad, the car to the county broke down and was delayed for several hours and missed the passenger's spot, so the ticket was waived, and when I went home, I got a ride with my classmate's father. I bought it with the saved travel expenses, so you can drink it with confidence."

"Oh..." Liu Dekui didn't say anything anymore, and there was a faint worry in his heart. Since Ah Jun stabbed the village chief with a saber in front of the graveyard and fish pond, he felt that he had changed a lot. Something is wrong.

Not long after Liu Jun left, Tian Xiuhua put on a set of Liu Jun's new clothes and came to Liu Dekui's room, walked around in front of Liu Dekui, and said happily, "Brother Kui, do you look good?"

"Looks good." Liu Dekui replied without hesitation, but gasped again, "Did you go back to the village chief's house to get clothes?"

"No, shit village chief, if I'm killed, I won't step into his house again." Tian Xiuhua didn't pay attention to Liu Dekui's puzzled eyes, and she was in a great mood. It's vulgar, the material is not bad, it's quite trendy, Ah Jun is really filial."

"What? Are you saying that Ah Jun bought this clothes for you?"

"Yeah, isn't it good? Although Ah Jun only calls me aunt, it is very good to remember to buy clothes for me. Ah Jun thinks that it is not good for me to wear men's clothes all day long, so he wants to buy clothes for me. Do you think Ah Jun recognizes me as a stepmother in his heart?"

"Ah Hua, don't be beautiful first. Hurry up and call Ah Jun over, I have something to ask her." Liu Dekui's face darkened.

"Why are you so fierce? What's the point of Ah Jun buying some clothes for his stepmother?" Tian Xiuhua felt a little bewildered when she saw Liu Dekui's sudden change of face.

"Look, Ah Jun also bought me two bottles of good wine, which cost more than 100 yuan, and the new clothes on your body cost a hundred if not two hundred yuan. I only gave him two hundred yuan to buy all the clothes and clothes. Alcohol, he and Ali have been in the city for a few days drinking northwest wind?"

"You mean, this money?" Tian Xiuhua was stunned for a moment. That's right, where did Liu Jun get the money to buy wine and clothes? Could it be possible to pick up the money?

"Ah Jun, your father asked you to come and play." Tian Xiuhua called Liu Jun to Liu Dekui's room, and hid outside the door to eavesdrop on the father and son's conversation.

"Ah Jun, you bought good wine for dad and new clothes for your aunt. This kind of filial piety is very good, but where did you get so much money? Not to mention it was saved on travel expenses."

"Didn't Dad tell you that when I went to the city, the car broke down for a few hours and I got my money back, and when I returned home, I took a ride with my classmate's father, and the clothes I bought for Aunt Xiuhua happened to be sold at a discount in the store. I just bought a few for my aunt."

"Ah Jun, I don't ask other questions, so don't lie to me. Tell me, where did you get so much money? Is it the right way?"

"Dad, what do you mean? I won't tell you anymore. I have to rest for a while. Ali will come later, and I have to go to the busy farming season. I think we will leave our hometown in a few weeks at most." Liu Jun didn't Angrily said something to Liu Dekui, and left his father's bedroom.

Liu Jun knew that his father suspected that his money came from an unknown source. He was afraid that he would do something bad in the city for two days and steal something.

"Alas..." Liu Dekui felt very upset when he heard Liu Jun mentioned leaving his hometown, and he lost his mind immediately.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, Ajunnawa is so filial, it's fine if you don't praise him, what kind of questions do you ask, is it chilling?" Tian Xiuhua comforted Liu Dekui, and then went to the chicken coop to pick up a few An egg, she wants to lay egg noodles to reward Liu Jun and Dumb.

……

For the next week, Liu Jun and Dumb worked day and night to harvest rice and sun-dry the millet. The rice planted in autumn was outsourced to the villagers. Under the negotiation of the patriarch Xiao Zhongbo, the farmland of Liu Dekui’s family was handed over to the village’s collective management. The rice was sold to the village as a price, and Liu Dekui's family sold all their pigs, chickens and other things that could be sold, leaving only an empty house.

Because Liu Dekui hadn't found a place to move out in advance, and the local police station could not issue a migration certificate, Liu Dekui was forced to move out of Longshang Village because of his adultery with the village chief's wife Tian Xiuhua, but his household registration remained in the village. Liu Dekui, Liu Jun The identity cards of the four of them, Dumb and Tian Xiuhua, are still agricultural households in Longshang Village, Wutong Township. Even if they are forced to leave Longshang to make a living, they are legally regarded as authentic villagers of Longshang Village.

On the night before leaving Longshang Village, Liu Jun found Hu Langzhong, a traveling doctor in the village, and asked if his father's legs had been healed.Can it be cured to stand up?

Hu Langzhong told Liu Jun that his father Liu Dekui's two femur bones were shattered and fractured, so he was really useless. Of course, if he had money, he might not need to go to a large hospital in the provincial capital to replace two steel fake bones made of domestic or imported materials. You can stand up and walk with a cane.

"How much does it cost?" Liu Jun's eyes lit up, and he happened to have a huge sum of 20 yuan in his hand. If the money can make his father stand up, it will be a great joy.

"I'm afraid it will cost 30 million yuan." Hu Langzhong shook his head. After all, 30 million yuan is an astronomical figure for a farmer whose annual net income is less than [-] yuan.

Liu Jun knew it well, the first thing he did when he entered the city was to make his father stand upright.

"Langzhong, thank you." Liu Jun took out two hundred-yuan red notes and handed them to Hu Langzhong to express his gratitude.

"How can I ask for your money? If you don't get paid for nothing, you can't ask for this money." Hu Lang moved slightly, but still refused to accept Liu Jun's money.

"Langzhong, I only have two hundred yuan, and I don't have any more. Please do one thing." Liu Jun stuffed the money into Hu Langzhong's pocket, but Hu Langzhong refused, and said: "My dad has been paying attention to the money these days. Talk to me about the difficulty of leaving my homeland, my old house, please help Hu Langzhong to open the windows for ventilation when he is free, and I will be grateful when I come back in the future. .

"It's a big deal, no problem, but I can't ask for these two hundred yuan." Hu Langzhong agreed with a very loyal attitude.

"Please." Liu Jun bowed slightly to Langzhong Hu, bid farewell to Langzhong Hu and went home to pack his things, told his father about entrusting Langzhong Hu to take care of the old house, and gave Langzhong Hu two hundred yuan. Said that my father's eyebrows, which had been tightly knit for several days, were finally relaxed.

Liu Dekui is really worried that the house will collapse if it is closed for many years. The so-called homeland is hard to leave. If there is not even a house in the hometown, or the house collapses because no one lives there, it is very unlucky.

Liu Jun solved Liu Dekui's heart disease, and he was very relieved. Liu Dekui believed that his son Liu Jun had grown up and could think of what was in his heart, and he could do better than him.

That night, Liu Dekui and his son, Tian Xiuhua and Dumb, a family of four simply packed a few clothes, a few quilts and daily necessities in two large rectangular camphorwood boxes, and they considered all their belongings.

Liu Dekui's family had nothing to take with them, pots and pans and some agricultural tools were distributed to neighbors, and the rice borrowed from the neighbor's uncle's house was converted into cash and paid back, and the village owed no one.

The next morning, when the sun rose in the east, Liu Dekui's family of four were forced to leave their homes and leave their ancestral home in Longshang Village with two large camphor boxes carried by the mute.

The patriarch Xiao Zhongbo sat in a four-person sedan chair and was escorted by the Eight King Kongs at the east end of the village. The three brothers Xiao Fugui, the village chief, laughed and gloated. Some kind-hearted and fearful villagers wiped their tears when Liu Dekui left.

Tian Xiuhua turned her head three times at every step, tears fell down her skirt, her heart was bleeding, and she pulled the educated and well-educated pair of sons and daughters who had grown up in high school and never came out to see her, even when they saw her off for the last time. They are as hard-hearted as the father of the village chief.

"Farewell, the homeland where I was born and raised, farewell, villagers of Longshang Village, I love you and hate you." Suddenly, a gust of autumn wind blew up, Liu Jun wiped his long hair that he hadn't cut for two months, Without looking back, I faced the rising sun all the way forward.

When the backs of Liu Dekui's family of four gradually faded away in the morning glow until they disappeared from sight, the village head Xiao Fugui couldn't wait to wink at his second brother Xiao Furen before the patriarch Xiao Zhongbo got up the sedan chair.

Ten minutes later, Liu Dekui's old house with civil structure caught fire. The fire became more and more prosperous due to the wind. The villagers did not dare to go forward to fight the fire. Weeping in the wind on the scorched earth.
