The wind, howling and blowing, blew on the face as painfully as if someone were cutting flesh with a knife; the snow was blowing, turning the whole village into a white and flawless world.
In the snow, a thin man, wearing a thick cotton coat, one foot deep, one foot shallow, walked forward, even if he fell and fell, he did not stop, and he did not know what was urgent, he would brave such a large snow to go out.
This man walking in the snow is called May Day. Wuyi was an orphan who grew up relying on the relief of the villagers. Although no one taught, May Day did not develop the habit of stretching out his hands with clothes and opening his mouth with food.
It is said that the children of poor families have long been in charge, and May Day belongs to this category. Despite the help of the villagers, more often than not, Wuyi is more willing to rely on his own hands to work hard to earn money. When he was less than ten years old, he went to work for others in exchange for his own food and clothing.
After May Day became an adult, under the matchmaking of the enthusiastic aunt in the village, he married Zhang Ahua of a neighboring village ten miles apart as his wife. After marriage, the little couple loved each other and gave birth to a son and a daughter, and although the life was tight, it was full of small happiness.
A few years ago, Ah Hua got cancer and eventually left his family behind. May Day was sad, but had to stay because there were still two children to take care of.
May Day was a filial child, although his wife was no longer there, but whenever there was a New Year's festival, he would always mention some gifts, take the two children, and go to visit their grandfather.
No, early this morning, May 1 received a call from his father-in-law's neighbor, Aunt Liu, saying that his father-in-law was ill and that his brother-in-law was missing, so he entrusted his two children to the care of his neighbors, braving heavy snow, and rushed to his father-in-law's house without stopping.
When they arrived, they saw that inside the house, there were marks of being smashed everywhere, and things were scattered on the ground. There were several people in the house, all of whom were neighbors of my father-in-law, busy packing up their things.
My father-in-law, on the other hand, was lying on the bed with a sick face, breathing weakly. Seeing him enter the door, Aunt Liu hurriedly walked over and said, "Child, you can be considered to be here, your brother-in-law, it is really not a thing." Your father has been sick for several days, and I didn't expect him to not see your father to the doctor, and he snatched all the money and left. If I hadn't thought about coming over and see if your dad was well, maybe your dad would have starved to death on the floor! ”
Speaking of sadness, Aunt Liu couldn't help but wipe her tears. The people who were helping to clean up on the side also had red eyes.
Wuyi's eyes were also slightly red, and he said: "Aunt Liu, thank you for informing me, you can rest assured, I will take good care of my father-in-law, you all go back!" ”
After everyone left, Wuyi sat in front of his father-in-law's bed, looking at his father-in-law, who was still happy two months ago, and played with his grandson, how could he not imagine, but in two months, his father-in-law became what he is now.
My father-in-law's illness, because it dragged on for too long, had long been terminally ill and there was no cure. Wuyi was able to accompany the old man and find a way to fulfill his last wish.
At night, Wuyi was lying in front of the bed snoozing, suddenly felt his father-in-law's manual movement, he opened his eyes busily, he saw that his father-in-law had woken up, he was busy helping his father-in-law to sit up, "Daddy, how are you, I have porridge in the pot, do you want to drink a little?" ”
But the father-in-law shook his head, "Good boy, thank you for coming to see me!" What about the big roots? ”
"Big brother, he's out of the house, wait for me to find him back!" Wuyi was afraid that his father-in-law would be sad and said hurriedly.
"Don't lie to me, my own son, I know what kind of person he is!" As he spoke, his father-in-law sighed. After another moment, my father-in-law suddenly turned around and pulled out the pillow behind him with difficulty.
"Dad, isn't it uncomfortable?" Do you want me to change your pillow?" "Say, May Day is going to go to the cupboard to get a new pillow."
"Don't be busy, come here, I have something to say to you!" The father-in-law took Wuyi's hand, and with the other hand, from the pillow, he felt a card.
"Ah Hua may have told you before he died that she was actually picked up by me." In this card, it is the money left to her by her biological father, and I also have selfish intentions and want to leave this money to your eldest brother, after all, he is my own son, but he, alas..."
"This card you hold, there are one million in it, and it is reserved for the future for grandchildren and granddaughters to go to school!" As he spoke, his father-in-law's voice grew weaker and weaker until there was no more sound!
"Daddy..." Wuyi cried, but the people on the bed could no longer hear his cries.
