The cheerful voice gradually became smaller and disappeared like light and shadow, as if tired or sleepy. At the middle of Xu Zhi's eyebrows, where the red light and shadow threads fell, slowly flashed and some shapes similar to sparks were similar to those of Xu Zhi's forehead.

Xu Zhi was just a thin body of about 1.61 meters and twitched a few times like a conditioned reflex. As the body moved, the lightning-like lightning on Xu Zhi's index finger in the left hand shone a few times. In the dim light, it looked like the light of a lighthouse in the sea, shining on Xu Zhi's face. The boy's face had some stains, which looked pale. The thick melancholy between his eyebrows and eyes was heavier than the clouds gradually accumulated in the sky.

No wonder this seventeen-year-old boy was in a bad mood. After all, what happened during this period really made him taste the coldness of the world.

The story starts a dozen days ago. It was also an afternoon when the twilight was just rising. When the mottled light passed by the entrance of the village, the last ray of sunlight shone on the woman standing under a big locust tree. The woman looked in her forties and was wearing a white, white-sleeved shirt with a white, white shirt. The shirt was obviously a man's style, but it was suitable to wear it on her fat body! The shirt was not clean and had already stained a lot of big and small. Even so, compared with the big shorts that were no longer visible on her body, and the pair of slippers that had been torn in front of her head, it was still neat.

This woman is Xu Zhi's mother Quan Ling.

Quan Ling was holding an unclothed child in her arms. The child was lying on her shoulder and whispered. Her face was covered with dust and had some tears on her face. She obviously cried before going to bed.

Quan Ling moved the child's red butt from his left hand to his right hand, raised his numb left hand and placed it on his forehead, squinted his eyes and looked at the mountain road westward, frowned in disgust, and asked impatiently: "Cheng'er, have you seen your father and your brother?"

About three or five meters away from Quanling, a child wearing only red pants quickly got up from the ground, threw away a few stones in his hand, pretended to be serious and looked at the mountain road in the distance, and then replied seriously: "Mom, I didn't see it. Didn't my father say that today the county magistrate wants to invite him and brother, so they won't come back at night?"

The child wearing red pants is Xu Cheng, who is Xu Zhi's eldest brother. He is twelve years old this year and is about to go to junior high school. Quan Ling is holding Xu Zhi's younger brother Xu Bao in her arms. Although she is four years old, because of Quan Ling's spoiling, she still often holds her in her arms.

When Xu Cheng said this, he couldn't help swallowing and asked, "Mom, do you think Dad will bring me a braised chicken leg back?"

It would be fine if Xu Cheng didn't say this. Before Xu Cheng's words could be finished, "Gurgle" Quan Ling's stomach rang a few times. Quan Ling couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick her lips, then hummed from her nose, and her eyes fell on the child.

"I've told you a few times? Don't sit on the ground, don't sit on the ground! You just don't listen..." Quanling suddenly cursed hysterically, "Look, are your pants dirty? You have to let me wash..."

As he said that, Quan Ling waved her left hand and hit Xu Cheng's shoulder.

Xu Cheng seemed to have gotten used to it, and naturally reacted. He suddenly hid and muttered in a low voice: "Dad doesn't let you go, why are you blaming me..."

After hearing the child's words, Quan Ling became even more ashamed and angry. She chased her for two steps and waved her hand to hit her again. But at this moment, Xu Cheng, who could not escape, turned his eyes and stood up quickly. Regardless of Quan Ling's pursuit, he shouted to the distance with joy, "Dad, are you back? What are you holding?"

When Quan Ling heard this, she was happy on her face. She ignored the child and hurriedly turned around. Unfortunately, when she turned around, there was no figure on the path of intestinal treacherous. Quan Ling knew that she was deceived, so she gritted her teeth and shouted: "Little bastard, you dare to deceive me..."

Quan Ling said and turned around, but Xu Cheng had already run to the big locust tree next to the woman, and rushed to a branch of a person more than one person tall like a monkey. Moreover, Xu Cheng was also watching Quan Ling's actions and climbed to a higher place at any time.

Quan Ling looked down and looked around. There were stones of all sizes on the ground, and there were no soil blocks that were handy. So she raised her hand and pointed to the child and said, "Okay! If you have the ability, just live on the tree. I don't believe you will never go down in this life!"

The child naturally heard Quan Ling's words hundreds of times. The child stuck out his tongue at her and looked at the mountain road in the distance. At this time, a cow screamed with a "moo...", an old man wearing a shabby gray vest held a branch in his hand and drove an old cow out of the persimmon forest next to him.

Seeing this, Quan Ling hurriedly stopped her anger. Just as she was about to speak, the old man coughed twice and said, "Fuck Cheng'er, are you teaching the child a lesson?"

Quan Ling felt a rare vanity in her heart. This old man is an elder in the village. She usually speaks first, but she still likes to ignore him. Today, it is rare for the old man to speak first. She was about to answer, but when she stopped at the mouth, she was reserved for a moment before she smiled and said with a smile: "His fourth uncle, look at what you said, Zhi's father said, educate children that you can't just rely on beating. My big kid has never beaten. This is different. Is this a college student? Although the admission notice has not been released yet, the county magistrate has invited him to dinner. Is this wrong? I remember that when Shanyao went to the technical secondary school, there was no such glory?"

The old man named Fourth Uncle smiled a little embarrassedly and said with some flattery: "That's right, how can my mountain kid compare with your big kid? Your big kid is the Wenquxing lower realm in our village. Not to mention our village, even the entire county town is not as good as that..."

"Where, where..." The woman's face burst into laughter, blooming from the bottom of her heart, and she said, "I heard from his father that the big kid is the top ten in the county. It's nothing, nothing!"

"Tsk tsk..." The old man smashed his lips and said, "My mountain kid was only 57 back then, and your big kid was actually in the top ten. I can't compare! Mom Zhi, you can just wait and enjoy your happiness in the future!"

As he said that, the old man slammed the branch and hit the old cow who was leisurely gnawing on the grass next to him, shouting: "Let's go..."

"By the way..." Quan Ling shouted hurriedly when she saw the old man leaving, "His fourth uncle, the university notice from the eldest child will be sent in a few days. Her father will invite the whole village to dinner. You must come!

Quan Ling took the word "university" very seriously. These two words seemed to hit the old man's heart like a hammer. The old man turned around with embarrassment on his face and said, "I know, I will definitely go..."

Seeing the old man turn around, Quan Ling curled her mouth and said to herself: "Hmph, that's the only one who invites you! When your mountain kid went to the technical secondary school, it was because my family gave me a few red envelopes and didn't let me go to the seat. This time, my family's scenery is so beautiful, who would like you to come!"

Thinking of this, Quan Ling curled her lips and looked at the already dim mountain road with a proud look, which was still quiet.

Suddenly, Quan Ling seemed to have thought of something, and roared at the big locust tree again: "Cheng'er, will you come down? If you don't come down, I will give you a good look..."

"Wow..." Quan Ling's roar was obviously huge. Although Xu Bao in her arms had not woken up yet, her mouth was already open, and tears flowed out from the corners of her eyes!

"Make you cry, make you cry..." Quan Ling was even more angry, slapped the little baby on the butt, and shouted, "You are like your second brother, and don't let me worry!"

"Dad, brother..." Xu Cheng on the tree looked into the distance happily and shouted loudly.

Unfortunately, everyone knows the story of the wolf coming. Quanling was not moved at all. She just looked coldly and shouted: "Just scare me, look at you, I won't beat your butt in half!"

"Ahem, baby, what's wrong?" From a distance, a dull cough came, and a slightly drunk voice said.

"Hmph..." Quan Ling heard this voice, she was no longer as expected as before. She gently put Xu Bao in her hand on the ground and sneered, "What's wrong with me? What else can I do? I just can't go to the table and show you the children at home. Only you can, how many days have you drunk ink? You dare to pretend to be a gentleman! You go and eat delicious food and drink spicy food, let me guard two melon babies at home! If you have the ability, come and take care of..."

"Wow, wow..." Xu Bao was only four years old, of course he was not very sensible. He was thrown on the ground. Although he didn't feel any pain, he cried loudly. He was still stuck on the ground and rolled around constantly. Chi Guangguang's body was covered with dust.

"You...what are you doing?" On the other end of the mountain road, two people, one old and one young, were shaking. The elder was only in his forties, but his face was Xu Zhi's father Xu Guohong. Xu Guohong was not tall, similar to the handsome boy beside him, but his face was flushed and his feet were staggering. The thin boy beside him was naturally Xu Zhi. Xu Zhi's physique was not good, so he gritted his teeth and couldn't protect him. He even shook like drunkenly. When Xu Guohong saw Quanling throwing the child to the ground, he said, "Our family is a family of poets and books. How can you make such a fuss?"

"Tsk tsk..." Quan Ling curled her lips and sneered, "You are the only ones? You are still a family of poets and books? I am embarrassed to say that you are just because I have been making too much money and I have spoken more elegantly. When you married me, I said that I had accumulated something for nearly twenty years. What did I think it was..."
