The morning in the countryside is always accompanied by the crowing of chickens, and under the plane tree, wisps of cooking smoke have already spread. My house is located on the north side of this small village, near the foot of the mountain, a small two-story building with a mottled and old appearance, but it is all my uncle and I have home.
My name is Zhang Xiaobao, and I have six out of twenty this year. Ever since my parents died, I have been living with my uncle. The uncle's surname is Zhang, he is old, his hair is all white, and his body is getting thinner and thinner, but he is upright and upright, and his ethics are also very strict. I grew up with him since I was a child, and naturally I learned some of his ways of behaving.
My uncle's greatest wish is that I can start a family, but I am still a bachelor when I am old. A few years ago, my uncle once told me to kiss, but I refused, although he was angry with me, he never forced me. It wasn't until a few months ago that my uncle suddenly adopted an adopted son named Bruce Lee, who was rude in appearance and extremely vulgar in speech, and I was wary of him at that time.
Early that morning, the eldest lady of the village braved the morning sun and hurried to inform me of the bad news. I was hit so hard that I collapsed to the ground and tears welled up in my eyes. Uncle is like a father to me, and since the death of my parents, he has taken on the responsibility of pulling me along.
I was devastated by my uncle's death when I heard an unfamiliar voice behind me. I turned sharply, and saw a big man coming towards me, who looked very obscene and spoke very rudely.
"I am your uncle's adopted son, Bruce Lee. You're going to have to listen to me, and if you don't, I'll kick you out!"
When I heard what he said, I was furious. I almost yelled: "You are an outsider, why are you pointing fingers at my house? Get out!"
"Ha, you still want to drive me? I'm the one your uncle personally holds in the palm of his hand, and you still dislike me?"
We're at a stalemate, and we're not going to give in to each other. My heart was full of pain, as soon as my uncle left, I would have to entangle with this uninvited guest, I never expected it. At this moment, the uncles and aunts in the village were also attracted by our movements.
Looking at the onlookers, I suddenly lost my mind. I had to settle Bruce Lee down first, so as not to cause any trouble. I asked him to stay in my uncle's room for the time being, and I still need to think twice about my future plans.
"Hmph, the people in your village are all poor sour ghosts, so you know how to watch the excitement. Bruce Lee made a disdainful gesture at the villagers, and his tone was extremely arrogant.
"You kid has a very hard mouth, and he is about to cry when he sees what our little treasure is used to. The aunts in the village didn't eat this, and they all paid a few words to him.
I hurriedly asked everyone to calm down, so as not to further expand the contradictions. When everyone had dispersed, I sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the darkening sunset in the sky.
Since then, Bruce Lee and I have had a difficult time together. He has nothing to do, he does nothing all day, and occasionally yells, and he is simply overbearing in my house. My dissuasion was ineffective, so I could only swallow my anger secretly.
"Xiaobao, are you so scared? Once, the eldest brother in the village couldn't stand it anymore and asked me to reason, "You have to teach him a hard lesson, don't let him point fingers at your house." "
Seeing this, the eldest brother had to advise me to be more careful. I was indeed cautious, for fear of annoying Bruce Lee by accident. However, I gradually discovered that in addition to his unreasonable words, he is actually quite reasonable. On a few occasions we were even able to have a friendly conversation.
And just like that, the days passed. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since the uncle passed away. On this day, I was doing laundry and cooking at home, but Bruce Lee suddenly ran out. I thought he was just going to walk around the village, but I didn't expect that soon the laughter of the villagers could be heard.
"Hey, have you seen it? Xiaolong's kid is shirtless, running around the village, frightening a lot of people!"
"Where is he a man, he is simply a beast!"
I hurriedly ran out to check, and sure enough, I saw Bruce Lee naked, only covering his lower body with a grass skirt, running east and west, and his movements were presumptuous. The people in the village all watched, pointing and laughing. I was enraged and rushed forward and yelled, "What are you so ridiculous about? Shut up!"
"Ha, you kid is a short guard! Isn't what people say the truth?" An old man looked at me disdainfully, "Your family is really down to blood mold now, and they have been pitted by a madman!"
"Nonsense! If you talk more, you're welcome!" Annoyed by his words, I clenched my fists and was about to rush forward.
At this moment, Bruce Lee suddenly ran to my side, kept tugging at my sleeve, and muttered something without knowing what to do. Looking at his crazy appearance, my heart was mixed.
It was this person who completely ruined our family's reputation. And I couldn't do anything but let him do anything wrong in the village. I suddenly felt that I had done something wrong, otherwise how could I have ended up in such a field? At this moment, I had an unprecedented determination in my heart: I must take Bruce Lee and leave this village and start a new life!
Just as I was about to leave the village, Bruce Lee suddenly grabbed me, and there was a hint of clarity in his eyes.
"I am your uncle's biological son, but I have been abducted and trafficked by traffickers since I was a child, and I have been left behind. Bruce Lee's tone became extremely heavy, "It wasn't until recently that I found out about my background, so I returned to this village to find my father." "
"But why are you pretending to be an adopted son? Why don't you just tell me the truth?" My mind was a little out of the way.
I looked at the once fierce man in front of me, but at this time he burst into tears and was very aggrieved, and a burst of sadness suddenly surged in my heart. It turned out that all this was caused by a coincidence and misunderstanding!
After learning the truth, my mood gradually calmed down. I began to reflect on what I had done before, was it too extreme and reckless? Although we have differences, we are still a family.
"Xiaolong, you and I are both victims, and we are all kept in the dark by others. I sat down next to him and patted him on the shoulder, "But it's okay, the past is over, and we're going to look forward." You are my uncle's son, that is, my relatives, we should be considerate of each other and work together to tide over the difficulties. "
Bruce Lee raised his head and looked at me with those red and swollen eyes, his eyes full of gratitude. I know that he must be extremely entangled in his heart at this moment: on the one hand, it is the call of his relatives, and on the other hand, it has created a gap between us.
"On what terms?" Bruce Lee asked eagerly.
"You have to change your way of life and be a good person. I looked at him and said earnestly, "Otherwise, we're really going our separate ways." "
Hearing this, Bruce Lee nodded deeply, and his face regained a look of hope. I know he's finally determined to make the most of this opportunity to start over.
Since then, Bruce Lee has indeed changed dramatically. He was no longer as reckless as he used to be, but diligently helped me with my household chores and did my bidding. Sometimes we sit together and talk about our ideals and aspirations.
"Xiaobao, I want to open a small workshop in the future, do some manual work, and make good money to support my family. Bruce Lee said wistfully, "I have been living in darkness before, but now I finally have the opportunity to be reborn, I must take advantage of it." "
"Where there's a will, there's a way. I patted him on the shoulder, "As long as you are willing to put in the effort, your dream will come true." Let's do it together!"
Unknowingly, it has been more than half a year since the uncle passed away. One day, I was standing alone in front of his grave, and suddenly a sour feeling welled up.
Uncle's nurturing grace to me, I will never be able to repay it. It was his hand-holding that made me who I am today. But I was skeptical of his decision for a while, and even wanted to leave the village, which is really a sin.
Just when I was heartbroken, Bruce Lee came over and couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes when he saw me like this.
"Xiaobao, are you thinking about your father?" He asked me softly.
"Don't say that, my father must have been very pleased to see us as we are now. Bruce Lee put his arm around my shoulders, "We have to live a good life together to live up to his expectations." "
I looked at this once wild child, and now he is a promising young man, and I can't help but feel a lot of emotion. Yes, blood is thicker than water, we are a family, we should cherish the current family affection and spend the rest of our lives together.
At this moment, the ladies in the village also came over in twos and threes and greeted us. I hugged them, apologized to them, and thanked them for taking care of me. Everyone said a word, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm and harmonious.
Since then, Bruce Lee and I have started a whole new life. During the day, we would work together in the fields. In the evening, Bruce Lee did manual work in the small workshop at home. Although he lived in poverty, he at least had a direction and a goal.
Sometimes, we would also invite the village guys to the tavern at the entrance of the village for a few drinks. Everyone, you talk about the mountains, I talk about small old things, talk and laugh, and the simple human touch arises spontaneously. We are no longer the same alienation we used to be, but we are like a family.
Gradually, the villagers' perception of Bruce Lee also changed. They found that this once profligate fellow was now a good young man who was hardworking and willing to work. He was not only filial to me, but also dedicated himself to the construction of the village, which can be described as a new life and a new person.
Although Bruce Lee and I live a poor and simple life now, we are not discouraged. On the contrary, we are all working hard for a better future with a determination to start anew.
"Xiaobao, look, these new baskets I made are not bad, right?" One day, Bruce Lee happily showed me his handiwork, "If you work hard for a while, maybe you can open a small workshop in the county seat." "
I looked at the intricately woven bamboo baskets and couldn't help but be impressed by his craftsmanship. "It's amazing, you're getting more and more proficient in your craft. I praised from the bottom of my heart, "With your drive, you will definitely be able to get ahead in the future!"
When Bruce Lee heard this, a proud look appeared on his face. I could clearly feel that he was gradually regaining his confidence in life. He used to be unruly, but now he has finally found a new direction in life.
"Little Dragon, you have to make the most of this opportunity. One day, I sat in the courtyard, looking at the burning clouds in the sky, and muttered to myself, "We've missed too much, and it's too late to be sure." "
Bruce Lee stopped what he was doing, looked at me and asked, "Xiaobao, are you missing your uncle?"
I nodded, my eyes a little moist. The uncle's voice and smile are like yesterday reappearing in front of him. "If Uncle is still here, I will be glad to see you now. "
Bruce Lee walked up to me and sat down and gently patted me on the shoulder. "Yes, my father must have watched us in the spirit of heaven and was happy for us. But don't be too sad, he's gone, and we're going to get on with it. "
I nodded, sympathetic. Although Uncle has passed away, his spirit will always exist in our hearts and guide us in the direction of progress. We should grasp the present, for him, for ourselves, to pursue a better life.
As the days passed, my relationship with Bruce Lee became more and more intimate. Sometimes, we sit together and reminisce about some fragments of the past, even if it is a not-so-good memory, which always triggers a smile.
"Do you remember? When you first arrived, we the whole village. Bruce Lee laughed, "You were as angry as a lion at the time, and I was a little afraid of you." "
"Your behavior at that time was too much, wasn't it? I also smiled and replied, "If we hadn't found out the truth later, I'm afraid that the two of us would have broken up." "
"But, Xiaobao, I really thank you so much. Bruce Lee suddenly said earnestly, "You gave me the opportunity to be a new person, and you gave me hope in life again." Without your tolerance, I am afraid that I will make mistakes again and again, and I will be lost in the darkness forever. "
I shook my head and said sincerely, "No, it is because we tolerated each other that we are where we are today." Although you and I have had estrangements, in the end family affection prevailed over everything. We should cherish this precious family affection forever. "
Bruce Lee nodded, his eyes full of gratitude. I know that he has regarded me as his closest brother and bosom friend, and our relationship has gone beyond ordinary family love.
Since then, Bruce Lee and I have worked more diligently. During the day, we would work in the fields; In the evenings, Bruce Lee concentrated on his manual work. Although our life is poor, it is gradually improving.
"Xiaobao, you see, I have saved a lot of money. One day, Bruce Lee happily opened a cloth bag to show me, which was filled with shiny silver dollars, "If this continues, maybe you can open a small workshop in the county seat!"
I nodded my head again and again, genuinely happy for him. "That's great, you're good!"
I was amused by his words and couldn't help but laugh. Yes, although we are still living in poverty today, at least we have a goal to strive for. What's more, we have a very close family that supports and encourages each other. As long as we continue to work hard, our dreams will eventually come true, and the future will be bright.
In this way, in this small village, a family that was once lost and regained is opening up a new life with its own hands. I believe that as long as Bruce Lee and I work together, we will be able to create a more brilliant future!
