The train was speechless all the way, and the train was ding all the way to Suide Station in Shaanxi. The two got off the train in a dizzy manner, took the bus, and had a bumpy ride for several hours, changing to a tractor and a donkey cart. The folk customs here are simple, it is very convenient to take a ride, and there is no charge for money. Finally, the old man drove the car with a donkey whip and pointed at a mountain in the distance and said, "Where is Jiusi?"

Lao Wang said astonished: "Damn, are there still people who are poor living in caves now?"

Zi Yang popularized common sense to him and said: "This is a custom of others. In rural Shaanxi, many farmers live in caves like this. There are unique caves inside, warm in winter and cool in summer! There is a natural temperature regulation system - much more advanced than your broken dormitory!"

Old Wang next door said, "This is nonsense. You can't afford a brick. You see, there is no serious family along the way. The economy is very backward! I don't know how people here rely on to live."

At that moment, the two of them were walking deep and shallow, and soon they came to the earthen kiln. In the yard in front of the cave, piles of corn were drying, and a few free-range hens were rushing through the soil to find food.

A thin black man wearing a white towel was peeling corn into a dustpan. The old man was born with a sad face and his gestures were very slow, just like slow motion in the movie. It seemed that time became heavy and dull in his hands.

Lao Wang stepped forward in two steps in three steps and said, "Uncle, I'm here! Do you still remember me?"

The imagined warm welcome scene did not appear. The old man slowly raised his head, flipped his turbid and spiritless eyes to look at Lao Wang. Fengshuang's face carved without any expression, and hesitatedly asked: "Who is the Mi Si?"

Lao Wang said awkwardly: "I am Xiaoli's classmate. When you arrived at our school, I would take you."

The old man said "Oh", lowered his head and continued to peel the corn, as if nothing had to do with him.

If the old man roars or roars, Zi Yang may be more likely to accept it in his heart, but this numbness and indifference make him even more sad - it is because he is so disheartened and lazy about life that he will make a person like this.

Lao Wang was stunned and a little embarrassed. Zi Yang hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Dad, we are Xiaoli's classmates. We didn't have time to entertain you last time when we came to school. Let's take advantage of the summer vacation that the school sent us to see you."

As he said that, he raised the pastries and snacks in his hand.

The old man raised his head at this time and reacted slightly: "Why, come here as soon as possible, why do you still bring something?"

Two big hands with bony joints rubbed their bodies, stood up tremblingly and let Zi Yang and the others into the cave: "Go in, sit in the room."

Zi Yang and Lao Wang walked into the cave with their heads down. The eyes became dark. The cave was very narrow and dim. The two people stood in front of the door. The simple house in the cave seemed several circles smaller, which further highlighted the humility and pitifulness of this family.

A middle-aged woman in the inner room was so dark that she couldn't see clearly. She was repairing a pair of ragged cotton wool that didn't know if it was a clothes or a quilt. When she saw someone coming in, she flipped her eyelids and continued to work on her own affairs.

The old man rubbed his hands and didn't know how to greet him, so he kept saying, "Sit, sit, sit." Then he turned to the wife and said, "Get ready, eat."

Zi Yang and Lao Wang looked at the ground awkwardly, without even a stool. There might be something strange on the black and oily ground, and neither of them had the courage to sit down. Zi Yang took advantage of the light outside the door and glanced at the scene inside the room and saw rows of awards neatly posted on the wall opposite the door, which vaguely read "Chen Xiaoli, in the first semester of xx year, studied hard, achieved excellent grades, and awarded xxx honorary titles." The age is a bit old, and it is a bit blackened by the oil smoke, but the damaged areas of the corners are carefully pasted with tape, which shows that the owner respects these honors.

At this time, the curtain of the wing room next to him suddenly lifted up, and a black child's face appeared from the black shadow. Two pale big eyes were staring at the two of them, one finger was inserted into their mouths, and their saliva was wet and flowed all over their chests.

The two were shocked and thought to themselves that when was a terrifying grandson coming?

Lao Wang tried to go upstairs and communicated with the child. The child ignored him, ate his fingers with relish, looked at the faces of the two of them with his head tilted, and thought to himself, what are these two?

At this time, a sudden burst of noise came from outside. The two of them looked out. The old man pinched a kitchen knife in his hand, and the old hen was chasing his waist and clumsyly chasing him. Zi Yang thought to himself, with his father's skills, he was afraid he would chase him until tomorrow?

As the sky got darker, the family finally prepared supper and set up a table in front of the cave.

Although it was only more than one hour, Zi Yang felt that the time was like a year. The family was not good at talking. The two stood there for a long time, watching the old couple working hard, and it was not right to leave, nor was it not right to leave.

Several people sat around the table, and the child held the bowl and couldn't wait to reach the chicken legs in the middle of the table.

The middle-aged woman opened it with chopsticks and looked at him with a stern expression. The child was so scared that he hurriedly lowered his head to make rice. The old man smiled, showed his teeth and clumsyly greeted the two of them to eat.

Lao Wang, a hungry guy, had no appetite at this time, and knew in his heart that this chicken might be half of the family's possession, so how could he have the nerve to swallow... Zi Yang hinted that this was the etiquette of rural people. If you don't eat it, they would feel uneasy. At that moment, the two of them politely took a few pieces of meat and ate a few bites of food. Seeing the two of them eating, the family picked up the chopsticks and moved the bowl.

The meal was so painful. After finally finishing it, Zi Yang said goodbye: "These things were sent by the school to express our condolences." After thinking about it, I took out a few hundred dollars from my pocket and said, "This is the condolence fee that the school asked us to give you." Lao Wang said quickly: "I have a little here, and I take out a handful of money from my pocket and handed it to the old man."

The old man was hunched over, holding a handful of money in both hands, trying to squeeze out a smile, his expression was twisted, his lips were squirming, but he couldn't help but feel sad inside. His turbid tears flowed: "You are good people, me, my girl, she, she is pitiful, wuwu..."

The two of them could not speak, and no matter how much money they had, they could not buy back their peace of mind. No matter how much money they had, they could not save their youth. They could only pat the old man on the shoulders and advised them not to be sad, and they would come to see them if they had the chance in the future.

I didn't want to stay in this sad place for too long, and the two of them left as if they were running away.

I walked out far away and looked back. Under the hazy night, three figures stood there like paper cutting. The old man was hunched over, and one hand was still waving in the air. The middle-aged woman's bloated figure stood beside her, with her hands on the child's shoulders. Under the influence of the night, the family seemed to be integrated with the night.

"Let's go," Lao Wang wiped his tears and said, "I really can't stand this. I'll find a place in the town to stay for two days to see the TV treatment and heal the wounds. The expenses for the next few days depend on you."

Zi Yang said, "Why is it all up to me again?"

Lao Wang said, "I was so excited just now that I donated all the thousand dollars in my pocket!"
