Our Gada, there is an inconspicuous town, called Liuhe Town, don't look at it small, there are many stories like the fish in the river, a net down, you can't finish fishing.
Today, let's talk to you about the strange thing that happened to a scholar named Li Wenyuan on the edge of Liuhe Town.
Li Wenyuan, that is a talented man in our town, he left after beating his little father, relying on the help of his neighbors and his own hard work, he was admitted to the county academy and became the pride of everyone.
But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, no, Li Wenyuan's mother is sick, very sick, lying on the bed, people are getting thinner and thinner, and there is only one breath left.
"Son, my mother is thinking about eating meat, fragrant, hot, and I will be sick if I eat it.
Li Wenyuan and his mother were lying on the bed, their voices were as small as mosquitoes humming, but the hope for a better life in their eyes was shining.
When Li Wenyuan heard this, his heart felt like he had been pricked by a needle, his family was so poor that he was tinkling, where did he get the money to buy meat?
He pondered and decided to do something he had never thought of in his life - go to the house of Zhang Cuihua, the widow in the village, to steal her dog.
Zhang Cuihua is also a hard-working person, her husband went to sea to fish in his early years and never came back, leaving her alone to guard a broken yard and the old yellow dog who has followed her for many years.
This dog is not only her companion, but also a treasure in her heart.
On a dark and windy night, Li Wenyuan secretly came to the backyard of Zhang Cuihua's house with a heart of seven up and eight down.
The old yellow dog seemed to smell something, and whimpered in a low voice, and walked up and down the yard.
Li Wenyuan's heart was crossed, he found a corner, held his breath, and waited for the opportunity.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the door creaked open.
Li Wenyuan took the opportunity to sneak into the yard and tiptoed close to the kennel.
The old yellow dog also seemed to sense the danger, and suddenly barked wildly, and the voice was very piercing in the silent night.
Li Wenyuan was so frightened that he almost didn't stand firm, but he knew that he couldn't be cowardly at this time.
He took a deep breath and pounced on the kennel, grabbing the old yellow dog's collar.
The old yellow dog struggled desperately, and the movement in the yard was terrifying.
At this critical juncture, Zhang Cuihua's voice came from the house: "Rhubarb, don't scream, is someone coming?"
Li Wenyuan's heart tightened, and he was about to run away, but he heard Zhang Cuihua struggling out of bed and stumbling out.
In the moonlight, her face was as white as paper, but there was a determination in her eyes.
"Wen Yuan, is that you?
Zhang Cuihua recognized Li Wenyuan at a glance, and her voice was full of surprise.
Li Wenyuan was stunned, and the collar in his hand was loosened.
He lowered his head, didn't dare to look at Zhang Cuihua, and stammered: "Aunt Cuihua, my mother is seriously ill and wants to eat meat, I ...... I really don't have a trick to ......" After Zhang Cuihua heard this, not only did she not get angry, but sighed, stepped forward, and patted Li Wenyuan on the shoulder: "Child, why are you suffering?"
Come on in, let's have a good talk.
Li Wenyuan followed Zhang Cuihua into the house, and in his heart he was called overturning the river and the sea.
Zhang Cuihua took out a piece of treasured old bacon from the cabinet and handed it to Li Wenyuan: "Take it to your mother to taste, although this meat is not newly killed, it can finally satisfy your cravings."
Li Wenyuan took the piece of bacon, and he almost couldn't hold back his tears.
How could he have thought that his little, he didn't get scolded or said, Zhang Cuihua still understood him so much and helped him.
"Aunt Cuihua, I'm ...... I'm really sorry for you, I ...... about that" Li Wenyuan's throat tightened, and he couldn't say anything.
Zhang Cuihua waved her hand and smiled: "Silly boy, who doesn't have a difficulty?"
Your mother is not lightly ill, you are so anxious as if you are something, my aunt knows it.
But remember, in this life, we can't do things like stealing chickens and touching dogs.
”
As he was talking, there was a sudden "bang" on the door outside.
Wang Laohan ran in panting: "Cuihua, the big thing is not good, there is a big flood in the mountains, and your old house is afraid that it will suffer!"
When Zhang Cuihua heard this, her face changed, although the old house was broken, it was full of bits and pieces of her and her wife.
She was about to rush out, but Li Wenyuan grabbed her: "Auntie, don't worry, I'll go with you."
”
When I arrived at the old house, the water was almost up to the threshold, and the situation was critical.
Li Wenyuan didn't say anything, found a rope, tied one end to his waist, and let Zhang Cuihua drag the other, and then jumped into the water with a "plop" and swam desperately to the old house.
After a lot of effort, Li Wenyuan finally snatched out a few treasures in the old house, and he was also washed away, but fortunately, Zhang Cuihua pulled the rope in time, and the two dragged him ashore together.
"Wen Yuan, you kid, how can your aunt let you take such a big risk!
Zhang Cuihua looked at Li Wenyuan, who was soaked and pale, and her tears fell from her eyes.
Li Wenyuan gasped and forced out a smile: "Auntie, it's okay, I'm young and strong, this little disaster is nothing."
As long as you and these things are safe, I'm satisfied.
”
Late at night, the flood waters slowly receded, leaving behind a mess and busy villagers.
Li Wenyuan and Zhang Cuihua stood in front of the old house, looking at the scene in front of them, and their hearts were also mixed.
"Auntie, if there is anything in the future, just look for me, I will do my best to help.
Li Wenyuan said solemnly.
Zhang Cuihua nodded, her eyes were slightly red: "Wen Yuan, my aunt can understand it today, you are a good boy with responsibility."
In the future, we will be a family, and we will carry any difficulties together.
”
Early the next morning, Li Wenyuan returned home with the piece of bacon.
As soon as Mother Li saw her son come back safe and sound, the excitement in her heart was like drinking honey, and her happiness blossomed.
After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, she was full of praise for Li Wenyuan and Zhang Cuihua, and praised both of them with red ears.
"Son, you have done a good job, although we are poor, we can't be short-minded, and we can't forget the love between neighbors.
Mother Li took Li Wenyuan's hand and said earnestly.
Li Wenyuan listened, his heart was warm, and he nodded like pounding garlic, he understood that real courage is not just to stand up in the face of difficulties, but to be able to put down his little Jiujiu at a critical moment to help those in need.
Zhang Cuihua's side, because of Li Wenyuan's stepping forward, for her, this not only saved her life, but also baptized her soul.
She began to face life more positively, using her own hands to rebuild her home bit by bit.
Time flies, and months have passed in the blink of an eye.
With the joint efforts of the villagers, Liuhe Town has returned to its former tranquility and prosperity.
And between Li Wenyuan and Zhang Cuihua, a deep friendship that transcends family affection has also been established.
Li Wenyuan studied hard in the academy, and he knew that only by arming himself with knowledge could he change his fate and better repay the land and those who warmed him.
Every time he goes home on vacation, he always goes to see Zhang Cuihua for the first time and helps her do some work.
In the blink of an eye, the end of the year has come again.
Liuhe Town is lit up and down, and it is full of joy.
Li Wenyuan deliberately bought some New Year's goods, carried a large bag and a small bag, and came to Zhang Cuihua's house.
"Auntie, Happy New Year!
He shouted as soon as he entered.
Zhang Cuihua came out when she heard this, and the smile on her face was brighter than a flower: "Wenyuan, come in, my aunt is thinking about you."
The two sat around the fire, eating hot dumplings, chatting about family life, and the warmth and harmony moved everyone present.
"Auntie, after the New Year, I plan to take my mother to the county to see a doctor, I heard that the Lang Chinese medicine there is very skilled, and he may be able to cure my mother's illness.
Li Wenyuan said while eating.
Zhang Cuihua listened and nodded hurriedly: "Good boy, go ahead, my aunt supports you."
If you don't have enough money, just tell your aunt that we'll figure it out together.
Li Wenyuan glanced at Zhang Cuihua gratefully, and his heart was warm.
He knows how lucky and blessed it is in this world, in addition to his deceased relatives, there is such a person who cares for him and supports him like a mother.
Li Wenyuan, a young man, not only studied well in the county, but was also recommended to the capital because of his talent, and became a well-known literati in the capital.
But in his heart, he always thinks about our Liuhe Town and Aunt Zhang Cuihua, just like his mother.
Whenever there was silence in the dead of night, or when he was homesick, he would pick up the pen and write down his thoughts about his hometown and his gratitude to Aunt Zhang Cuihua.
These letters, like carrier pigeons in the wind, flew over thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally fell into the hands of Aunt Zhang Cuihua, warming her heart.
Aunt Zhang Cuihua, although her life is still hard, but with Li Wenyuan's care and help, her life has also added a bit of color.
She often sat in the courtyard, basking in the sun, holding the letter sent by Li Wenyuan in her hand, reading it word by word, with a happy glint in her eyes.
She knows that no matter where she is, there is always someone who cares about her silently from afar, and that is enough.
Time waits for no one, and the seasons are like flowing water.
In the blink of an eye, Li Wenyuan has made some achievements in the capital, but he always remembers where his roots are, and remembers the innocence and simplicity from the countryside.
Finally, one day, he decided to put down everything he was in his hands and return to Liuhe Town, to the place that he missed day and night.
When he appeared at the entrance of Liuhe Town, the whole town was boiling.
The villagers walked out of their homes one after another to welcome this talented man who returned to his hometown.
Aunt Zhang Cuihua waited under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village early, looking at the familiar path, looking forward to the familiar figure.
The moment the two met their eyes, all the words turned into silent tears.
Aunt Zhang Cuihua stepped forward quickly and held Li Wenyuan's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear again.
Li Wenyuan also held it back tightly, feeling the warmth and strength from the bottom of his heart.
"Auntie, I'm back.
Li Wenyuan choked up and said.
"Okay, okay, just come back.
Aunt Zhang Cuihua nodded again and again, tears rolling in her eyes.
When it comes to writing books, Li Wenyuan has not encountered a wall, but he has never admitted it.
Why?
Because this book is not only a review of the past, but also a hope for the future.
He thinks that he has to work hard to let more people see hope, feel strength, and have the courage to pursue their dreams.
Finally, one day, Li Wenyuan's book, with his hard work and sweat, was published.
This book is like a gust of fresh wind, blowing all over the country and touching the hearts of countless people.
People have seen Li Wenyuan's growth and changes from the book, and they have also seen Aunt Zhang Cuihua's selfless love and dedication.
The most important thing is that they saw the tenacity and unyielding of the country, the love and pursuit of life.
