The spring rain is drizzling, and it keeps drizzling. A young man pushed the wheelbarrow out of the city gate and walked all the way towards Liangjia Village.
The road was slippery, and the wheels were covered with mud. He pushed the car forward with red and swollen eyes, limping forward, letting the rain hit his face but he didn't know it. Drops of water rolled down his cheeks, unable to tell which tears were tears and rain were.
The man's name is Zhou Fuxiang, and he is an authentic farmer. Since his parents passed away, he has become the pillar of the family and assumed the heavy responsibility of taking care of his brother Zhou Fu'an.
At that time, Zhou Fuxiang was only thirteen years old. He was still an ignorant boy. His family lacked food and clothing, and the hardships of life can be imagined. Thanks to the kind help from neighbors, the two brothers finally grew up. He recalled his dead parents and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
Zhou Fuxiang gritted his teeth and supported this home. In the past ten years, no matter how hard he worked, he has never changed his destiny of poverty. Zhou Fuxiang has long passed the age of getting married. Because of his leg disability, he is still a bachelor.
Brother Zhou Fu'an is already eighteen years old and should have started a family and found a house, but his marriage was delayed because of his brother's involvement. Zhou Fuxiang was thinking a lot along the way, and sometimes he really wanted to reunite his parents.
He returned home in a depressed mood, his clothes were all wet. When Fu'an saw his elder brother return, he hurried into the house to get a towel, "Brother, have you delivered the food? Just wipe your face and change it to a dry dress, be careful to catch a cold."
Zhou Fuxiang heard his brother's words, and a warm current surged into his heart, and most of the haze in his heart suddenly dissipated. He smiled slightly and replied, "It has been sent. The money is locked in the cabinet first and will be kept for you to build a house and get married."
While he was speaking, he took out a few copper plates from his arms and handed them to his brother Fu'an. In the eyes of rich people, these copper coins are nothing, but they are extremely precious to the Zhou brothers. The family can have a stable income, thanks to the patriarch Zhou Si.
If Master Zhou Xi had not pleaded with the king of the city, Zhou Fuxiang would not have received this good job of delivering food. Usually, in addition to growing some food, the two brothers also take care of a large vegetable field. They deliver vegetables to Mr. Wang’s house every other day, and at least they have some income.
They were grateful and gave Mr. Zhou Xi some fresh vegetables every few days. Although things are not worth money, their intentions are priceless. The ancients said: "A drop of water should be rewarded with a spring of water." This is exactly the truth.
After lunch, the rain had not yet stopped. The two of them moved a horse and sat under the eaves, looking at the hazy sky and fell into deep thought. Zhou Fuxiang thought for a long time and said slowly, "You have grown up and can support yourself. I want to go out and explore while you are young."
Fu'an was panicked when he heard this, "Aren't we doing well now? Why did my brother just want to go out of home? If I don't do anything well, just point it out and I will definitely change it!"
"No, this matter has nothing to do with you. I have already made this plan, but I didn't have time to tell you that I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life." As he spoke, he patted his right leg with his hands, his eyes filled with tears.
Since that incident, Zhou Fuxiang's right leg has fallen into the root of the disease. As long as it rains cloudy and rainy, his right leg will have a faint pain. Zhou Fuan didn't want his elder brother to leave, but he felt a little conflicted.
It turned out that a friend introduced him to a marriage not long ago. The woman's name was Sanqiao, who was about sixteen years old. Although she did not look as if she was ashamed of the moon and flowers, she was kind-hearted and skillful.
Zhou Fu'an saw that the woman did not think she was poor, so he was naturally happy in his heart, but there was a difference between superiority and inferiority, and the elder and young were orderly. The eldest brother was not married, so how could the brother have the nerve to get married?
Two days later, Zhou Fuxiang left this familiar homeland with a bag and embarked on the road to make a living. The moment the eldest brother left, Zhou Fuan suddenly felt a little disappointed, and his nose felt sore and could not help but shed two lines of hot tears.
On this day, he was drying food in the yard, and his neighbor Aunt Tian walked into the door with a strange man. The visitor confirmed Zhou Fu'an's identity, handed over a bag, and said, "There is someone named Zhou Fuxiang who asked me to hand over this bag to you."
"Brother has been away for a year and finally there is news." He was surprised and happy, and took the bag with both hands. Before he could ask more questions, the man turned around and said goodbye. When I opened the bag, I saw that there were thirty taels of silver and a letter from home.
Zhou Fu'an doesn't know a big word. After asking Liu Xiucai, he knew what the eldest brother meant. The letter said that he is living a good life now and is working as a clerk in a restaurant, but he is not allowed to go home for the time being. He asked Fu'an to use the money to give the betrothal gift, choose the auspicious day, and marry Sanqiao as his wife.
Zhou Fu'an held the letter tightly with both hands, tears blurring his eyes. Only then did he deeply realize what is deep love? Under the arrangement of relatives and friends, Zhou Fu'an and Sanqiao held a simple ceremony to get married and tie the knot.
A year later, Sanqiao gave birth to a son named Zhou Cheng, and the couple regarded the child as a treasure. With the joint efforts of the couple, life has gradually improved. Zhou Fu'an only hopes that his elder brother will return soon and the whole family will be reunited.
He has been waiting for it year after year, but there has never been any news about his elder brother. Zhou Fu'an was worried about his elder brother's safety and was determined to go out to find a lovely sea of people, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
He spent three years nervously. He thought that the two brothers would never have a chance to meet again in their lives, but the eldest brother returned home with a two-year-old boy.
"Brother, where is sister-in-law? Why haven't you come back together?" Zhou Fu'an looked at the child in his elder brother's arms, smiled and asked impatiently. Zhou Fuxiang scratched his head embarrassedly and replied lightly: "Oh, brother has misunderstood. I picked this child up halfway."
"What, I picked it up? Brother, you are so confused. Have you forgotten everything eight years ago?" Zhou Fuxiang will never forget it in his life. It was from that day that his right leg was disabled.
It was a summer morning. Zhou Fuxiang was working in the fields, and suddenly it started to rain heavily. He quickly put down his work, carried a hoe and walked back, and came to the bridge, and saw a woman in her twenties walking in the rain. She walked forward with deep and shallow feet, and suddenly she slid into the river.
Zhou Fuxiang didn't have time to think too much, so he threw down his hoe and jumped into the water. The moment he fell into the water, his right leg happened to hit a stone, and then he felt a piercing pain. The woman was successfully rescued and turned around and left, but Zhou Fuxiang's right leg was disabled from then on.
Zhou Fu'an said that the eldest brother had healed his scar and forgot to hurt. He saw that the person who was almost thirty years old was not married yet, and now he brought back a bottle of oil. How could he not be anxious when he saw it?
"Be entrusted by others, be loyal to others. Since you promise others, you must do it." Zhou Fuxiang thought so in his heart, but he dared not say so.
It turned out that this child was not picked up. He was afraid that his brother would blame him when he learned the truth, so he had to make up a lie. On the way back home that day, Zhou Fuxiang was anxious to pass the inn, and had no choice but to sleep in the wilderness.
He walked all day long and was exhausted. He lay under the tree and fell asleep quickly. He was sleeping soundly when suddenly a thunder sounded from the sky.
Zhou Fuxiang suddenly opened his eyes and saw a dazzling lightning slashing the black sky in half. At this time, two big and small snow-white fox jumped out of the woods.
Thunder roared, and lightning continued. Zhou Fuxiang was so scared that he covered his ears, closed his eyes, and then there was a loud "boom", like a landslide and cracked the earth.
He couldn't help but scream, preparing to find a place to take shelter. At the moment when he opened his eyes, he saw a woman in white standing in front of him holding a little boy.
"Brother, okay, save my son!" The woman looked frightened and handed the child directly to him before Zhou Fuxiang could react.Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Zhou Fuxiang hugged the child in his arms without hesitation.
The woman thanked her and immediately turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared without a trace. The thunder stopped abruptly, and the night was as quiet as before. The moon climbed up to the treetops, and Zhou Fuxiang was still in shock. He took the moonlight to look at the child in his arms and found that he had fallen asleep peacefully.
He didn't know the identity of the child at all, but he just felt that since he promised others, he must do the job well. If the woman doesn't come to find him, Zhou Fuxiang plans to raise the child to himself.
One night, Zhou Fuxiang had just coaxed the child to sleep when suddenly a sleepy feeling came and closed his eyes unconsciously. At this time, a woman in white floated over and came to the bed.
She was wearing a white dress, elegant and vulgar, with peach cheeks and smiling, and she had a light and aura on her body. The woman opened her red lips lightly and said gratefully: "My benefactor is here, please accept my benefactor!" Zhou Fuxiang felt deeply frightened and a look of panic appeared on his face.
"My benefactor, don't you be afraid, do you still remember that thunder and rainy night? To be honest, I am a white fox who has been practicing for thousands of years. Now I have successfully practiced and become an immortal through the tribulation. That day, thanks to your help and protect my son. Today I came to him to return to heaven. I hope my benefactor will do it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a pearl from her sleeve, carefully placed it on the table, picked up the child and bowed to Zhou Fuxiang, and turned around and disappeared without a trace.
The next morning, Zhou Fuxiang woke up and the scene in his dream was vivid in his mind. At this moment, he suddenly found that the child was missing and a jewel was on the table. Zhou Fuxiang was so scared that he told Fu'an about this, and the two brothers were amazed.
Later, they sold the orb and exchanged it for a thousand taels of silver, bought a house and made a living without worries about food and clothing. With the matchmaker's support, Zhou Fuxiang married Feng Niang from the neighboring village as his wife. The couple had children and lived a peaceful and smooth life.
Conclusion:
Zhou Fuxiang is a man who values family affection and responsibility. He assumed the responsibility of taking care of Fu'an at a young age. The two brothers respect each other and love each other, and their love is as deep as the sea. This deep brotherly love is moving!
In fact, Zhou Fu'an in the article is a kind person, and his nature is not bad at all. The reason why he complains about his elder brother's adoption of the child is just because there is a lesson in the past. After Zhou Fuxiang fell into the water to save the person, the woman did not even say "thank you" and Fu'an felt heartbroken for his elder brother.
In real life, it is not uncommon for people who are naturally cold. It is said that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, let alone a life-saving grace? As a human being, you must learn to be grateful and know how to treat everything around you with a grateful heart. Those who have helped you must not forget them. Don’t let good people feel cold!
