The fifth firewood has been added to the fire. Wang Chong and the second and third sisters have also been sitting at the door for a long time, but the eldest brother has not come back.

As I watched, the sun set.

An ominous premonition rose from Wang Chong's heart.

In the past, brother came back after three or four hours when he went down the mountain to fish, but this time

Finally, Huang Lianying and grandma went home slowly with a big bundle of grass on their backs.

"Why are these children burning a fire at the door when they are so old?"

Huang Lianying is chatting with her grandmother. Recently, she is in a good mood. Her eldest son finally got out of this poor Valley and is promising. In the future, he will be able to make a lot of money, build a new house and buy a motorcycle like Huang Youcai. When the time comes, he will get a wife and have children, and he will no longer have to be angry with his husband.

"Mom." Seeing Huang Lianying coming, sun Lianmei was very nervous. She is now thirteen years old and has been very sensible. She knows what it means that her eldest brother hasn't come home at this time.

"What happened?" Huanglianying saw something wrong: "where's your brother?"

"Brother said, go down the mountain to catch fish, but haven't come back yet?" Sun Lianmei said and cried nervously: "I don't know why he hasn't come back yet. He left at noon..."

"What?" Hearing this, Huang Lianying immediately wanted to jump.

Everyone in the village at the foot of the mountain knows that the water on the bank is very shallow, and many people often go there to fish.

However, in some sections in the center of the river, there are many undercurrents. No matter how good the water is, people have had accidents.

"Huanglianying, huanglianying, something's wrong." At this time, several people with flashlights suddenly came on the path towards his house.

"Go and have a look. Lao Zhang, who was fishing in the river just down the mountain, said he saw a young man missing in the river. He looks like your eldest son and is fishing now."

"Yes, the clothes are exactly the same."

"Your eldest son passed by my house today, saying to go fishing, so I came here at the first time."

Several villagers spoke in all directions, and Wang Chong's heart clicked. He was really afraid of anything.

For a time, Huang Lianying's legs were soft.

"Huang Lianying, where is sun Zhongren?" An old man asked.

"Village... Playing mahjong at the entrance of the village..." Huang Lianying answered almost feebly.

Two enthusiastic villagers hurried to shout.

Huang Lianying was held by someone at this time, and a group of people walked down the mountain in a panic.

Wang Zhong followed them. After walking for more than half an hour, they finally came to the river.

I saw a lot of people surrounded by bright lights on the Bank of the river.

This happens every time people drown here, and nearby villagers come to watch.

"It's terrible. I drowned so young."

"I don't know whose baby it is. It must be sad."

"See now, don't come here to catch fish in the future." Some villagers are giving ideological education to their sons.

Wang Chong ran fast. His legs ran quickly to the river and squeezed into the crowd. Sure enough, his eldest brother opened his eyes wide, his stomach was bulging, and his whole body was white with blisters. He had already swallowed his breath.

"Big... Big brother!"

Wang Zhong was stunned. Although the eldest brother had many smelly problems, he took good care of their brothers and sisters, but now he drowned

"Even rich, even rich..."

Huang Lianying rushed to the body and held sun Lianfu's body and cried loudly: "Lian Fu, you are going to the city soon. Why are you so stupid? Your family doesn't have nothing to eat. Why come here..."

"Lian Ying, don't be sad." The villagers comforted one after another.

Unfortunately, Huang Lianying was too sad. Although the eldest son didn't adjust much, he was more motivated than his father. He had hoped that the eldest son would make a lot of money outside. He didn't expect... He didn't expect to die like this.

"Woo woo, how many times has mom told you not to come here, not to come, why don't you listen..."

"Oh, son!" At this time, Sun Zhong was also called over.

"Sun Zhong, it's all you, it's all you..." seeing Sun Zhong, Huang Lianying immediately thought of the past and shouted angrily.

If Sun Zhong hadn't refused to go out to work, if Sun Zhong didn't care about the growth of his children, if Sun Zhong hadn't been irresponsible, his eldest son wouldn't have died so miserably.

In the final analysis, the eldest son wanted to come and catch fish because his family was poor and had no meat to eat.

So she poured all her resentment on Sun Zhong.

"You return my son, return my son..."

Huang Lianying pulled Sun Zhong's neck.

"What's the matter? I didn't kill it." Sun Zhong shook his hand angrily, and Huang Lianying was knocked over and crying.

Sun Zhong looked at the body with an ugly face, cursed the bad luck, and then said to an old man in a village nearby, "give me a hand and carry my son home with me."

Although Sun Zhong doesn't care much about his family, he has to do superficial Kung Fu.

Two days later, the sun family did a funeral. On the third day, the eldest brother sun Lianfu was officially buried.

On a piece of land belonging to the sun family on the mountain, there has been a small mound since then: the tomb of his filial son sun Lianfu.

"Lian Fu, you're fine below. Mom will often come to see you."

Huang Lianying cried.

Wang Chong and his two sisters were burning paper money while sighing.

Seeing that the labor force at home could make money, I didn't expect to die.

Most importantly, when Grandpa heard that his grandson drowned, his illness became more serious.

With sun Lianfu's death, the work of the family fell to the second sister sun Lianmei.

She is only thirteen years old now. She was supposed to go to school, but she already knows everything.

"The son's mother, the old Wang in the next village, said that our daughter looks good. How about marrying him?" That night, Sun Zhong bought a rare roast chicken home and said with a smile.

Huang Lianying frowned, "that old Wang is thirty years old. How can he marry him? And that guy is lame. How can his daughter marry a disabled person?"

"What happened to the disabled? He had money and said he would give us 50000 yuan as a bride price."

"Pa!" Huang Lian's mouth trembled with heroism: "even if I receive the bride price, I won't marry my daughter to an old bachelor, and my daughter is so young that I won't let her marry until she is 18."

"Why don't you understand? You're a fool if you don't make money."

Sun Zhong snorted softly, but he didn't speak. After all, his daughter is old, and he can't force her to marry.

Wang Zhong has been paying attention to Sun Zhong's every move recently. It's a little strange. Recently, Sun Zhong didn't play mahjong much. Instead, he was asking his grandfather for money as before.

The next day, Huang Lianying and grandma went to work as usual. As time passed, everyone gradually came out of the death of his eldest brother.

When the eldest brother died, it fell to sun Lianmei, the second sister, to take care of his younger brother and sister and do housework.

Wang Zhong took the initiative to drive ducks and sheep to the mountain in order to help the family share some.

"Brother, you should look after ducks and sheep and sell money at the end of the year." When she left, sun Lianmei told her.

"I know."

Wang Chong's mouth curled. In fact, he wanted to go out to herd sheep for another purpose, that is to practice singing.

If you sing too much at home, you may be regarded as a fool by your family.

Now there are four sheep and a dozen ducks at home. Because duck pens and sheep pens may be related together, these ducks and sheep have a good relationship, so they basically go out and go home together.

Wang Chong took a small bamboo pole, put on a sun hat, wore old white clothes, and walked towards the field with slippers.

"Two tigers, two tigers, run fast, run fast..."

While walking, Wang Chong hummed a song.

Because he is still young, most of the songs selected by Wang Chong are children's songs to practice his voice.

"Lala, Lala, I'm an expert in selling newspapers."

After singing one song, Wang Chong will change it. Here, it only takes some experience to extract these songs.

When they stopped under a big tree, a group of sheep and ducks began to look for food nearby.

Wang Zhong took out the big cakes baked by his mother. These big cakes were originally brought to the city for big brother to eat. Now that big brother died, they naturally ate them.

"Woof, woof..."

At this time, the little yellow dog ran over, came to a place ten meters away, and looked at Wang Zhong eagerly.
