Chapter 57 Chapter Twenty Eight

After four o'clock, they arrived at the head of the village.When a villager saw their mother and son, he called out to his mother enviously: "Oh, sister-in-law, the old son is back, and I am back with you. How happy I am!" Mother said loudly: "Happy, happy!" The mother and the second elder brother lived together. When they got home, the elder brother and sister-in-law were not at home.Sanchun was not in a hurry to catch up with autumn. At this time, everyone who could work went to the fields, and my nephew did not come back from school.When my mother came into the house, she carried firewood to cook, and Li Binliang refused to let her hold her: "Don't move, you have to bury all your clothes!" She has always been like this. His mother never let him do odd jobs, except for those long trips.She said: "Mom already has two sons working in the fields. You can't do it anymore. Even if you do it, you have to do big jobs. You don't need to do this trivial work. When people do trivial jobs, their heads get messed up and they can't think about big things." Now, you have to use your brain to study and do great things in the future!"

The mother was busy working inside and outside the house, which shocked Li Binliang's heart.He thought, how much work does mother have to do?Walking back and forth for more than ten miles, selling tobacco leaves for a day, and cooking when he came back... He felt sorry for his mother, but he couldn't help him, so he had to follow his mother inside and outside the house.His mother said to him, "Go to the house and rest. I have to prepare meals for your second elder brother and second sister-in-law. They are tired all day, and they come back to eat something ready-made." Mother is like this, she always thinks that others are tired, but never knows that she is tired.Still the same at this age.

After the dinner was ready, the second elder brother came back first. As soon as he entered the yard, he yelled: "Mom, do you know who did it? The bottom of the good sieve was broken, and a big piece was missing. This is a steel sieve. , the good ones can’t be used anymore, and they cost dozens of dollars to buy!” Mother went out to greet her: "Okay, okay, it's already broken, and it's useless to say anything else, just buy it... Hurry up and enter the house, Binliang is back!" The second brother walked in, smiled at Li Binliang, said "Binliang is back", and had nothing to say.Li Binliang knew that the second elder brother was such a person, simple and honest, he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't tell what he had in his heart.After a while, the second sister-in-law and nephew who was going to school came back, and the whole family sat together and had a warm meal.According to Li Binliang's request, my mother made farm meals: corn balls, stewed melon with potatoes, and big pickles.Li Binliang hadn't eaten this food for a long time, and he didn't put down his chopsticks until his stomach was full.

After dinner, when his mother and second sister-in-law went to the back room to clean up the dishes, Li Binliang told his second brother that he must never let his mother go to the village to sell tobacco leaves.The second elder brother smoked a pipe and said, "Whoever tells her to go, can't stop her. Your second sister-in-law and I can't stay at home and watch her all day, there's really no way..." The second brother stopped halfway through speaking, and Li Binliang suddenly felt a little ashamed.Yes, you said it nicely, why don't you take your mother into your home?You are also a son!Li Binliang thought of his wife and her indifferent expression when she saw her mother... Yes, my mother didn't want to live in the city. She was used to life in the countryside and always wanted to help her second brother. However, there was another reason that could not be tolerated. To avoid, that is, she doesn't like to look at her daughter-in-law's face.Although she never said it.

Li Binliang felt himself blushing, turned his head, and stopped talking about this topic. In the evening, Li Binliang and his mother lived in Westinghouse.Although I have been with my second brother for many years, my mother has always kept this big kang, which is for the reunion of the son when he comes back for the New Year. Specifically, it is also prepared for Li Binliang.Before falling asleep, the mother showed a mysterious look again, and took out something from her old-fashioned cabinet that had been used for many years: "Binliang, try it on!" This is the waistcoat my mother was talking about. It is different from the doudu last time. This waistcoat is made of two layers of cloth, with a thin layer of cotton batting between the two layers of cloth.Mother said: "It's getting cold, try the size first, and wear it on your body from tomorrow!"

Li Binliang tried it and it fit him very well.The waistcoat is old-fashioned, and it cannot be compared with the sweater and woolen vest my wife bought for herself, but this is my mother's heart.He smiled and said: "Okay, I must wear it. However, you didn't let Blind Li spray Buddha water again!" Mother smiled shyly: "No, not this one... But those methods sometimes work. You must wear it from tomorrow on!" Li Binliang agreed to take off his clothes and lie down on the kang.My mother also lay down, and chatted with him a lot after turning off the lights, saying that the countryside has suffered disasters in recent years, food is worthless, and life in the country is more difficult than the previous two years, and one year of hard work can only afford enough food and clothing.He also said that people have to study to be successful, and my nephew is studying very well now, but it will be too expensive to go to college in the future, and I am afraid that my second brother will not be able to afford it.Later, I said that some rural cadres are too bad now. They don’t do things for the common people. Even if they plan to ask the common people for money, they still eat and drink. buy a car.Mother talked and said again: "Binliang, if you become an official in the future, don't learn from them. You should do more for the common people and stop asking for money from the common people. It's not easy for the common people..."

Li Binliang promised his mother's entrustment.It reminded him of his childhood.His mother always asked himself when he had a little spare time: study hard, don't fight with others, tell the truth, and don't tell lies... At that time, he often fell asleep accompanied by his mother's earnest instructions.Now it seems that those instructions have penetrated into my heart intentionally or unintentionally, and everything I do today is related to my mother's teachings back then! The mother asked him about the family, how was the child, and how was the wife.The mother's feelings for her son and daughter-in-law are well known.She asked: "Don't miss me, live a good life with your wife, don't always want me to go to your house, I'm not used to living in the city, it's not like the countryside, the sky is big, the air is good, the chaos in the city Son, I can't bear it, the car hums outside when I sleep at night, I can't sleep well when I go back to your house..."

Li Binliang knew that what his mother told was half truth and half lie.She may really not be used to living in the city, but half of it is to comfort herself, she knows that her son feels guilty for not being able to live by her side.Although he knew his mother's intentions, he still felt a little comforted and calmed down after hearing these words. After the mother finished chatting about the housework, she began to tell him again: "Binliang, mom knows you, and I blame mom for taking care of you since childhood. She is too honest and doesn't know how to deal with things. You have suffered a lot. Mom has seen it. The society is not the same as before. You have to be more careful. As a human being, you must never harm others, but you must also guard against others harming yourself. These days are too bad, and it is easy to suffer. A few days ago, my mother watched a TV series. There is a real policeman who was deceived and suffered a great loss. The person who harmed him was also a policeman. Unexpectedly, there are also bad people in the police force. You must be careful. Just like a good policeman, you can't tell by what he says or does, but who knows that he almost killed that good policeman..."

The mother seemed to know her son's situation, knew his heart, and spoke everything to his heart.Li Binliang agreed with a "hmmm", silently thinking about what happened these days, thinking about this killer case, thinking about all the abnormal phenomena surrounding this case... Just like when he was a child, Li Binliang slowly fell asleep amidst his mother's whispering. He slept soundly and sweetly, and felt very warm and safe.But he didn't know that after he fell asleep, his mother sat silently beside him with the dim light coming in from the window, watching him with her eyes motionless for a long, long time.

Mother's heart is full of tenderness.This is her old son, her favorite son.When she saw her son Leng Ding during the day, she was also so happy that she didn't know what to do.She also saw her son's tears, knowing that his son loved her, she was very moved, sweet, and almost shed tears, but in front of her son, afraid that he would be sad, she held back.The son is not raised for nothing, he has a mother in his heart, loves his mother, and that is enough.What else do you need?She couldn't help but think of some things about her son's childhood.Although he is an old son, he has never been pampered. You can't pamper a child, it's harming the child.Thinking back, he was often beaten when he was young.This kid is good at everything, smart, good at studying, and good-hearted, but he is a bit stubborn and won't make trouble.Don't look at his gentle appearance, but mothers know that he is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he is not timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He also loves to fight against injustices. When he was in middle school that year, he had a fight with one of the worst students in the school.That wicked student is feared by everyone, but his son is not afraid of him...

She really wanted to take a good look at her old son, but she was afraid of disturbing his sleep, and she couldn't turn on the light, so she could only look at him in the dark.It seems that he is a little darker than before, and his body seems to be much stronger. Look at the flesh on this arm, it is hard, and it is probably from training. It is really not easy to be a criminal policeman. If you want to catch bad guys, you can't do it without training your body well. ...Hey, look at his expression, why are his eyebrows still frowning?This child hasn't slept well yet, so why worry about anything... She stretched out her hand and stroked his brow gently, trying to smooth it and let him sleep well and have a good dream, but it didn't work, he Still frowning.What the hell was he dreaming about?What to worry about, it's a matter of the case... Thinking of this, my mother became very worried. She looked at Li Binliang's sleeping face, and tears flowed down her face unconsciously. The mother didn't know that at this time, his son had a dream, a nightmare, which was the same as the dream after Ji Xiaolong was shot a few years ago.He saw Ji Xiaolong lying on the ground after being executed by shooting, staring at his own eyes, unable to hide...Suddenly, his eyes moved and he laughed. He suddenly came alive, and he sat up slowly, his eyes He stared into his own eyes and smiled, and stretched out a pair of bloody hands towards him... Li Binliang turned his head and looked around, and found that there were many women and children behind him, including mothers, wives and daughters...Although Li Binliang was very scared, But he knew he couldn't back down and run away.He grabbed Ji Xiaolong's bloody hand and shouted: "What are you going to do, I will fight with you..." Finally, he finally strangled Ji Xiaolong's throat, squeezed it hard, and made a strange noise from his mouth: " Go to hell, go to hell..." "Binliang, Binliang...what's wrong with you..." With a sudden light in front of his eyes, Li Binliang woke up. It turned out that his mother turned on the light, and it was her call that woke him up from his dream.He grabbed his mother's hand: "Mom, are you okay..." Mother: "It's okay, it's okay, what's wrong with you, are you having a nightmare? Tell Mom!" Li Binliang looked at his mother, woke up, and hurriedly said: "No, it's nothing, just a dream...Mom, go to sleep!" He smiled and lay down again to sleep. The mother turned off the light and stared at her son uneasily for a long time before falling asleep.She kind of guessed her son's dream, and vowed to help him again in her heart. Li Binliang didn't fall asleep, he did so to keep his mother from worrying about him.He lay with his eyes closed, thinking about the dream just now.It was not the first time he had this dream, since he had the experience of Ji Baozi being shot a few years ago, he had this dream from time to time, and every dream made him suffer mental torture.Unexpectedly, it appeared again the night I saw my mother. The next morning, after Li Binliang washed up, he ate another meal cooked by his mother and was about to return.He was relieved that his mother was safe and sound, and he was thinking about the affairs of the team again, so he couldn't stay any longer.The elder brother and sister-in-law have already gone to the field, and only the mother escorted him on the road all the way to the entrance of the village.His mother wanted to send her off, but he firmly stopped her, so she had to stand at the entrance of the village and watch him walk away.After walking a long way, he turned around and saw his mother still standing at the entrance of the village looking at him.He raised his arm and waved to his mother, telling her to go home. Mother also raised her arm slowly, probably because of her old age.The morning wind blew, and he saw his mother's white hair fluttering in the air, like a statue reflected in the bright sky. This impression will forever be engraved in Li Binliang's mind and heart.He turned around and strode forward. In front of him was the harvested field. The wheat had been stacked in rows in the field, the beans were being harvested, and the millet was also turning yellow. Some early-harvested fields had exposed black bare soil... ...These real scenery, however, can't hide the figure of mother waving.Unable to help, a few more messy lines appeared in my mind: Li Binliang walked forward with the courage and strength he had learned from his mother.
