Before the age of fifteen, he had had a good life. His parents had been prominent figures in the small town, and he had grown up with nothing but compliments. Until one night, the prosecutor's office knocked on his door. When he looked back and saw the pale faces of his parents, he had a vague feeling that his life was going to take a different direction from now on.

For the next few days, people avoided him like the plague. Until one day, when he was leaving school, there was a tall country woman sitting in front of his house. It was his aunt, whom he had seen at his grandfather's funeral.

She patted the dirt off her body sharply and said gruffly, "Xiao Hai, I'm here to pick you up." He crouched down on the ground and cried at once; no one had ever given him a good look these days. The woman took him by the shoulders and said, "Big boy, why are you crying, the sky has not fallen, there are hands and feet."

He followed her to the place called Beixingtun by the mountains and the water, and walked to a low straw house as if a foot could be kicked down in front of the house, she turned back to him and said, to home. Then she called out Erma in a loud voice. He froze, such a house can also live? Two people came out of the hayloft, one was the uncle who was a bit dizzy from drinking, and the other was a dark and thin girl, loosely wearing a big cloth shirt. Obviously, it was the aunt's clothes.

As soon as she arrived home, she carried a bucket of pig food to feed the pigs, and her curses followed: "If I wasn't home, the pigs would have starved to death. I married into your old Wu family, really bad luck. What blessing did not enjoy, but also have to do this kind of for people wipe asses to raise children thing ......"

When he thought of his mother, he compared her to his mother. She smoked dry cigarettes, a mouth of big yellow teeth, seems to be a bad stomach, after eating a meal will not stop hiccuping, a few cents a bag of cover stomach flat she ate a handful of. A family of four people crowded in a large kang, he was very uncomfortable, especially when she dipped into the bed, snoring shook the ground. And mother always gentle smile, talk never loud, is to reprimand those who come to the house, also are smiling, softly, but can make the visitors sweat.

Soon, he went to school in a high school in a neighboring village. The quality of teaching in the small town was good, and naturally his grades were the best in the village high school.

The next summer vacation, she threw him a scythe and said, "Don't eat at home, the grass in the cornfield is eating the seedlings." He first entered a person-high cornfield, corn a branch connected, the whole cornfield is like an airtight steamer, people go in smothered breathless. She finished cutting three rows, he did not even cut out half of the rows, she returned, cursing: "really your old Wu family, do what you can not, eat what is not left!" He heard, did not say a word, crazy as swinging in the hand of the sickle cut grass.

By the end of the summer vacation, he was already as tanned as the children in the town, and his thin arms had become thicker. He looked in the half-broken broken mirror in her house and thought: maybe in this life, he'll have to be a crop farmer in Beixingtun.

Next, she, who was usually so miserly that she had to break a penny in half to spend it, pulled out a 50-yuan bill and gave it to him, saying, "You go up the street and sell some popsicles, or you'll spend what you have next semester."

He hesitated, Erma took the money and said, "Brother, I'll go with you."

Fifty dollars went into a full bag of popsicles. It was the first time he had carried something so heavy and cold, and he was tired and freezing when he got to the village. Then he went door to door to sell them. That time, in addition to the 50 yuan he paid her back, he earned more than 30 dollars. It was the first time in his life that he had ever earned money, but she took it before it was even warmed up in his pocket. Seeing the way she dabbed at the spittle and counted the money, he despised it in his heart, having never seen such a vulgar and money-grubbing woman.

In his eyes, her biggest hobby is counting money, she said: "Save enough money, I also build it three big tiled houses, so that the people in Tuen Mun are looking at the eye red." Uncle hemmed and hawed next to her. She kicked over, "If you had drunk a few less bottles of horse urine, my house would have been up long ago."

His parents' sentences came down to life for his father and 15 years for his mother. This meant that he would have to stay with her until he was an adult. When she heard the verdict, she cursed again and said, "I've had a bad luck". He became even more silent, scowling.

Even though it was a tough time, he got into the best high school in the county. Back home, he has been hesitant to say. The woman who took the money as her life like that, how would she be willing to spend money to send him to school again? That day, she came back from the outside in a flurry of anger, a grab is chopping pig food dishes of his ears, said the little brat, the old Huang family two children to take the high school grades are sent down a few days, you will not be what did not get into it? The knife in his hand was biased, chopped into the hand, blood flowed down, tears also flowed down. She turned around, picked out a bit of ash from the stove, helped him press on, still asked: "The sky is not falling, there are hands and feet, why are you crying? In the end, did not pass the exam?"

He threw the notice in his bag to her to see, her face immediately bloomed a flower, went out and stood outside the yard poor show: my small sea got into the county first high school, than the old Huang family boy more than a hundred points, tsk tsk!

The night before the start of high school, she gave him a roll of woolen tickets, said save some money, I'm not like your parents, not open the bank, no one to send. He looked up, looked at her huge face and said, "You're letting me go to high school?"

She said, "Yes, I owed your old Wu family in my last life, and I'm paying back the debt in this life, and you bill collectors are eating me up."

His days are numbered, as long as he gets into college and applies for a student loan, he can leave Beixingtun for good.

The beauty of the scenery here is what people in the city say, let them come and live here for a day or two, but let them live here for a year and a half?

He went to college and stayed on every vacation on the pretext of working at the school and not going back.

She started asking him for money, on all sorts of excuses. He did a project and made a fortune. While saving the money, he had a change of heart and took out 10,000 dollars, wrote her name and sent it back. From then on, it was all clear between them, and they could finally stop having anything to do with her. But he didn't feel any relief.

This world, from now on no relatives, for some reason, he suddenly had a feeling of no one to rely on. Turned around and saw a farmhouse restaurant, he went in, asked for a plate of sauerkraut stewed shredded potatoes. Up, all of them are not the flavor she made. He recalled that after receiving the acceptance letter, she went out for a few days, dusty back, pulled out a pile of money from the triangular pockets, said: "Your father and your mother finally did not mix in vain, his friends of those foxes and dogs to come up with the money to let you go to college."

He looked away, tears streaming down his face.

Once he met his father's former best friend in town, he said, "Thank you for all the money. Now I'm graduating from college." The man's face was blank: "You went to college? When?"

He understood everything in a flash, how could that kind of drinking buddy invest where there was no profit?

Receiving his money, she called and opened her mouth to say, "Bunny, you and your heartless parents, just know that the money hit. When your grandfather dying to see them, they do not come ......" said, she actually cried.

He went to the prison and saw his mother, who had long since lost her commanding presence, but urged him: "Xiao Hai, be nice to her, she is not easy ah! When our family is good, she came to me, said she wanted to build a house, borrow some money, I did not borrow ...... our family accident, I did not expect her to take you back. Even if it is a thatched hut, can let you live down, can give you a mouth to feed, I can not thank you enough."

His tears are also in the circles of his eyes, these years, she could not afford to eat and wear, but never lacked his food and clothing. When he returned to Beixingtun and saw the thatched hut that could be kicked down with one foot, his heart actually warmed.

She's not here, and the yard is littered with unfinished pig food. The neighbor said, "You're back, you'd better go, your aunt is dying.

His feet went limp. How could she, who was so good at cursing, be dying?

He was in the hospital corridor when he heard her scolding the doctor: "I Yao Meifen has never seen anything in her life, want to fool with my money, no way! My money that can be useful, I want to build three large tiled house it, back of the mountain, clear red brick ......"

He stood in front of her, said: "Auntie, our house will be built tomorrow, I find someone to build."

She stared at him for a few seconds, still scolded: "You this little brat, I provide you with food for you to drink for you to go to college, you go even a letter, you have no conscience ah?" Cursing, her tears and snot flowed down together.

Out, the sun is still shining, Erma followed him. He asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"Stomach cancer. Brother, you don't know how much she missed you, and you don't know how much she loved you. She asked you for that money, she did not spend a penny, is to see the doctor so tight, she is not allowed to move. My mother said, this is saved for you to start a family money, she is afraid that you do not have money, but also like the eldest uncle as a crooked path ......"

He raised his head, thought so the tears will not fall, but, those tears, after so many years of accumulation, finally fell down uncontrollably. This life, he was destined to have a sorry person!
