In the early years, there was a small village outside Baoding Prefecture City. There was a young man named Yang Rong in the village. His parents died early and he lived on three acres of thin land.
Yang Rong stuttered a little, said in a difficult manner, and was poor, so when he was twenty years old, no matchmaker was willing to tell him about his dear.
At the age of 23, Yang Rong worked as a short-term worker for the rich man in the neighboring village and saved his young master. In order to thank him, the rich man gave him a big green mule.
With the mule, Yang Rong became a coachman and transported goods for merchants. Although he was not good at speaking, he was honest and took more and more work, and his life was getting better.
At the age of twenty-seven, Yang Rong finally got married. His wife's surname is Tian, she is twenty-one. She is a newly lost widow.
In the third year of marriage, Tian gave birth to twins, two sons, and two men were added. The incense was inherited, and Yang Rong was very happy. It can add joy and worry, that is the days ahead.
For the sake of future livelihood, Yang Rong rented an old house outside the east gate of Fucheng and moved here with his wife and children. It is next to Fucheng. There are many shops in the city and there are many rich families, so he also hopes to earn more money.
When her husband got out of the car, Tian went to the wealthy family in the city to collect some needlework to supplement the family income. He took care of the children and did the work. It is conceivable that the hard work of the couple worked hard and their lives gradually stabilized. Although there was no surplus, they could still have enough food and clothing.
In the blink of an eye, five years have passed, and the couple worked hard and their lives are pretty good. During this period, Tian gave birth to another son and a daughter.
The daughter will get married when she grows up, so there is no need to over-handle it. But the three sons will get married in the future and will cost money. The burden on her shoulders is still very heavy. She can only work hard and not relax.
This year, Yang Rong brought goods to a medicinal material merchant. After getting some business information, he often went to Zhendingfu , and collected some intimate medicinal materials with people from the mountains and took them to Anguo for sale.
Although Yang Rong is not good at speaking, he is honest and does a good job in business. Although it is very hard to sleep in the open and travel a long distance, he has made great profits.
You must know how to plan when living at home, and Yang Rong is no exception. After having the remaining money on hand, he started to buy a house and prepare for his three sons to get married in the future.
More than ten years have passed, and the children have become home. The eldest daughter-in-law lives in the back house. The eldest daughter-in-law is the daughter of the tailor's house. She gave birth to twins after the family.
The second child lives in the next house, and the second daughter-in-law is the daughter of a blacksmith and has a son.

After the daughter got married, she moved to Hejian Mansion with her husband's family and came back once a year.
The eldest and second brother sell medicinal materials like his father. The third brother is not good at this. Because he has been studying for a few years, he can recognize some words and works as an accountant in the grain shop in the city.
The children's major life events have finally been completed, and the couple are old. Yang Rong is nearly 60 years old. Due to his early years of running around, his health is not as good as before. Tian is a few years younger than her husband, and she is in good health, without any sign of getting old.
Thirty years ago, the adopted sons were naturally responsible for the elderly life of the father and Yang Rong and his wife, but the eldest daughter-in-law was narrow-minded and jealous, the younger daughter-in-law was a little stingy, and although the second daughter-in-law was virtuous, she was not good at speaking. If the three sisters-in-law got together, there was no conflict.
The three brothers are still filial and have good brotherly friendship, but they can't stand the wind blowing beside the pillow. After a long time, there are estrangements. As a result, there are often troubles. Later, the three brothers are in harmony, and the eldest and the third brother ignore each other.
When children were young, they hoped that they would grow up, and when they grew up, they hoped that they would get married, and when they got married, they hoped that they would start a career, but what about after they got married? What we hope is that they can be harmonious and that there are big and small things that can help each other, but in this situation, Yang Rong and his wife least want to see.
That night, Yang Rong said to his wife, "I can still be independent now, and you are in good health. Why don't we go back to the old house in the countryside? There are a few acres of land, and then grow some vegetables in the yard and raise some chickens and ducks. Haven't you lived a life."
"You are for the sake of the three of them?" After decades of marriage, Tian naturally could see her husband's thoughts.
Yang Rong sighed and said, "Brothers are the key to harmony. In this situation, I really feel heartbroken. When we live alone, there will be no conflicts between them. Falling leaves will always return to the roots. We will go back sooner or later."
Tian took her husband's hand and said softly: "If you don't mention it, I still want to tell you, we are both so old, how many years will we have to live? It's good to go back, it's quiet and quiet, so it saves the trouble for them."
The couple thought of going together, and summoned their families together the next day and told their thoughts.
should be put before, and the three brothers would never agree, but what happened in the past few years made them a little cold, so they agreed to their parents' ideas. The three brothers discussed it and decided to take turns to send money to their parents in two months. In this way, Yang Rong and his wife packed their luggage and moved back to the old house in the countryside.
Over the years, Yang Rong has not forgotten the villagers. He often comes back and helps the villagers on the grounds of repairing the old house. Some villagers encounter difficulties. When they go to the suburbs to ask him for help, Yang Rong never refuses. When he sees him coming back, he comes to greet him.
After the parents left, there were fewer conflicts and many quarrels between the brothers and sisters-in-law, but with the previous estrangement, they were still much more alienated. The eldest and the third brother still did not speak. The second brother had a better relationship with the eldest brother and gradually became distant from the third brother.
People interact with each other, and the less they contact each other, the more distant they are. The three brothers have their own small families. For them, their parents are not as attached as they were in their early years. In addition to sending money and food to their parents, the three brothers don’t come back at ordinary times. Sometimes when they get busy, they even send money and rice to others.
As for the daughter-in-law and grandchildren, don’t expect too much. Only the second daughter-in-law came with her children once. Only on the morning of New Year’s Eve, the sons brought their families to their parents for a lively day, and they all went back early after the New Year’s Eve dinner.
In a blink of an eye, more than three years have passed, Yang Rong got sick. Fortunately, he ran around when he was young and practiced to improve his health. He survived. However, after he recovered from the illness, he often coughed and became confused and forgetful. Sometimes he looked like a child.
Northern stoves are all in the outer room, separated from the earthen kang inside the room by a wall, to keep warm in winter. Yang Rong suffered from a cough and could not smell the fireworks, so he built a kitchen in the side room of the yard. On weekdays, Tian made a fire and cooked.
People tend to miss their children when they are old, especially after they get sick. This is the case with Yang Rong. He does nothing every day. After dinner, he either chats with the elderly in the village, or sits at the door in a daze, muttering his son, daughter, and grandchildren.
Tian's health is very good. She can't stay idle all day long. She either cleans up housework or waters vegetables and sweeps the yard. She is busy with things, and her miss is a little weaker, but she really feels sad when she sees her husband like that.
Not long after, the youngest son came to give away money rice. Tian said to him, "Your father is old and has become confused. Now he is like a child, and he is worried about you brothers. Go back and talk to your two brothers. When you have nothing to do in the future, come back to see your father, and bring your grandchildren with you when you come."
"Mom, I understand."
The third brother agreed very simply, but after he went back, he forgot about this matter. First, it was for life, and it was really busy. Second, he had a bad relationship with his two brothers and had not been close for a long time. Due to face, he was reluctant to go over and say this matter, so he delayed.
In a blink of an eye, it is the Spring Festival. It is time for the family to reunite again. Yang Rong cleaned up several rooms early, risking the cough, making braziers in the house every day to increase heat and eliminate the tide, and asking his wife to prepare new bedding.
Tian knew in his heart that her husband hoped that the children would come back soon and stay for a few days, even if they were just staying for one night on New Year's Eve. This matter was nothing important to the three brothers, but for Yang Rong, it was something he had been looking forward to in recent years.
Hope is both disappointment, the same as in previous years. The sons came back on New Year's Eve again. When they saw the children, Yang Rong's disappointment and loneliness were wiped out. He asked his three sons about their long-term problems and refused to let go, but he had the problem of forgetting things. He asked what he had just asked, and he would ask again later.
After the three brothers came back, they took them at home for a short while and then went out. They just went around the village houses to greet each other, and greeted each other. The three daughters-in-law helped Tian prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, and the children were playing in the yard. Yang Rong sat at the door of the house and looked at them with a smile on his face, his eyes full of kindness.
As the evening approaches, the wine and food are ready, the family has eaten the New Year's Eve dinner. More than a dozen people can't sit at a table, so they just have a table on the kang and a table below. The whole family is cheering and laughing, Yang Rong looked at all this and smiled wrinkles on his face. If his sons and grandchildren don't remind him, he doesn't know how to eat.
The indispensable thing for the New Year is to eat dumplings. The dumplings have been wrapped, just boil water and put them in the pot. Every year when cooking dumplings, Tian does not let others help. This is a habit that has been developed over the years.
Tian believes that her husband and children have worked hard to make money. After finally enjoying the New Year for a few days, how can she be busy? Even though the children got married later, she still did this, and her daughters-in-law got used to it.
Like in previous years, after the food and drinks were finished, Tian asked everyone to talk and chat in the house and go to the side house to boil water. The three daughters-in-law knew the nature of their mother-in-law, so they did not fight, but went to another house to talk about women.
Although the three families have bad relationships on weekdays and rarely move around, today is the big day. They have thrown away all the things they should abandon, temporarily letting go of the barriers between each other and having a great time.
The same is true for the three brothers. They talk about business, interesting news, and occasionally talk about the grandchildren when they were young, talking about interesting things about their age. Yang Rong rarely interrupted and sat aside drinking water. He was already very happy to watch this scene.
Before we knew it, more than half an hour passed, and the third daughter-in-law suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, why has the dumplings been so long and the dumplings have not been cooked yet? Why don't you go over and take a look, and go back early after eating them."
The eldest daughter-in-law said, "Well, it's a bit long, but every year my mother-in-law cooks dumplings, don't let us go into the kitchen!"
"Xiuxiu, go to the side house to ask my grandmother, are the dumplings ready?" The second daughter-in-law called her daughter to go over and take a look.
Xiuxiu is the eldest daughter of the second child. She is nine years old. She obeys her mother and leaves the house. He came to the kitchen and asked, "Grandma, are the dumplings still not cooked? I'm hungry."
Tian was sitting by the stove in a daze. When he heard this, he smiled and said, "Oh! It's Xiuxiu. Today's firewood is a bit turbulent, who hasn't opened it yet? Go back to the house and tell them, wait a little longer."
Xiuxiu responded, turned around and returned to the house, and told her mother about the matter.
The second daughter-in-law said, "Oh, that's it, let's wait a little longer." After saying this, the three sisters-in-law started chatting again.
Some time has passed, but I still haven't brought the dumplings. The boss was also a little confused and said to his second son: "Dacheng, go to the side house to see grandmother, why is the dumplings not yet ready?"
Dacheng came to the kitchen: "Grandmother, dad asked me to ask you, are the dumplings not yet ready?"
"The water has not boiled yet." Tian replied.
Dacheng is thirteen years old this year, and is the eldest grandson of Tian. He is quite sensible. He said, "Often my mother cooks, and it takes less than two cups of tea to boil water. Why doesn't it boil today? Why don't I burn firewood for you, grandmother."
"Dacheng is really sensible. Come and listen to grandmother tell you that today is the New Year. Every household is cooking dumplings. The stove prince is very busy, so the water boils slowly. The smoke here is big. Go to the house to eat candy. When it is cooked, grandmother will bring it in for you." Tian said while adding firewood.
said angrily: "Hmph! This Kitchen God is really. Knowing that he is busy today, wouldn't he ask more people to help?"
"Shh! Don't talk nonsense. The Kitchen God is a god, you can't say bad things about him. Come into the house quickly." Tian said in a low voice.
Dacheng stuck out his tongue and turned around and left the kitchen.
After entering the house, he said mysteriously: "Grandma said the water had not boiled yet, but the Kitchen God did not let go. He also said that the Kitchen God was very busy today, and grandma didn't let me speak complaints, saying that the Kitchen God would blame him."
People are very awe of gods such as the Kitchen God, especially during the holidays, and they cannot say anything too much. After hearing Dacheng say this, everyone did not ask and chat.
The eldest son of the second son is Yang Ji, who is the same age as Dacheng. He was very curious about what he said just now, so he sneaked out of the house and went to the kitchen to peek.
Yang Ji found that the pot was steaming and the water was already on, but his grandmother scooped out some hot water and poured it into the bucket next to him, and then added a lot of cold water. After adding the water, he continued to sit in front of the stove and add firewood.
"Hey! What is grandma doing? "Yang Ji was very confused, but he did not go in and asked, but quietly went back to the house and did not tell the adults about this.
After a while, Tian finally cooked the dumplings. The family started eating while it was hot, and they all said that the dumplings were very fragrant.
The bustle will always pass. After eating the dumplings, the three families got up and left, each driving the carriage home. The eldest son said to his parents: "Dad and Mom, tomorrow morning, I have to pay New Year's greetings to customers who have business dealings, all for the sake of next year's livelihood. "What the second and third brother said were the same as the eldest.
Yang Rong was already stuttering, and after he got sick, he couldn't speak clearly. He just kept nodding, but his eyes were filled with tears.
"Let's go, be careful on the road, life is important, your father is like a child, it's okay, I'm there. "Tian said this, but he was actually very reluctant to let it go.
3 family got on the car and hurried away. In the huge house, only the old couple were left.
Time passed quickly. It was early autumn in a blink of an eye. At noon that day, the eldest brother parked the carriage at the door of the medicine shop and talked to the shopkeeper, while the second brother was drinking tea in the tea shop opposite.
At this time, a carriage passed by the street, with the handlebar tilted its head and said to the person sitting behind: "I see the accountant of the grain shop, I am going to be in great trouble today. The two brothers of the Zhou family are very fierce on weekdays and cannot kill half of his life. "
" Well, what I mean is, unfortunately, the people around me are afraid of the Zhou brothers and dare not help. This accountant named Yang is suffering a great loss. I don't know what their grudges are? "
" Grain shop, accountant, Yang..." The boss was shocked when he heard this, and quickly stopped the carriage and asked, "Two brothers, who is the accountant of the grain shop that surnamed Yang? Where are they fighting? "
Handlebar Style saw that he looked anxious and didn't understand why, blurted out: "It's the accountant named Yang of Hu Jiliang Shop, fighting outside the Xicheng Gate. You ask this..." Before the
Handlebar Style could finish speaking, the boss shouted at tea shop : "Second, come with me, the third brother was beaten. "
Hearing this, the second child threw the cup in his hand to the ground. Without even giving the tea money, he left the house and jumped into the carriage. The boss waved his hand and ran to the west of the city like a "slap".
The handlebar just now looked surprised and said to the shopkeeper of the medicine shop: "They...... what's going on? "
shopkeeper laughed and said, "The accountant you mentioned is the two brothers just now. In my opinion, the Zhou brothers are in trouble this time, hahaha..." After the shopkeeper said that, he shouted to the tea shop opposite: "Old Wu, the second son of the Yang family is in my account, and he also counts the tea money that he threw into the cup. "
" No need, I can still afford a few cups of tea. "The shopkeeper Wu from the tea shop opposite, smiled.
Put them down, and the two brothers of the single watch came out of the west city gate in a short while. Not far ahead, there was a large group of people watching. Although they could not see the situation in the circle, the dust was flying. The two brothers were anxious and jumped out of the car and rushed in, leaving the horse without caring.
In the circle, the third brother was fighting with the Zhou brothers. He was alone and lonely, with his forehead covered with blood, and his left eye was swollen.
The eldest brothers rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward. The two of them had been rushing to sell goods all year round, so they were naturally strong. Although the Zhou brothers were also strong, compared with them, it was much worse.
The younger brother was so big that the eldest and the second brother were already furious and showed no mercy. As a result, the Zhou brothers were beaten so hard that they howled and rolled all over the ground. The two brothers have always been arrogant, and many villagers have been bullied by them. When they saw these two people being beaten today, they felt happy and cheered on the side.
At this moment, the city patrol officers fought this way, stopped the fight, and took the three brothers of the Yang family, the Zhou family, and some villagers around to the yamen.
The Zhou brothers had a bad reputation. After the villagers arrived at the yamen, they criticized their evil deeds. The official was furious and ordered Zaoli to beat the two brothers to twenty pieces each. The official also warned the two that if they dared to do evil again in the future, they would be sent to the border for labor.
In the end, the official also ordered the two to pay 10 taels of silver and asked the third son of the Yang family to go to the clinic to treat the injury.
The Zhou brothers were beaten twice, and they also paid ten taels of silver, and they registered in the yamen. This time they didn't want to be honest, and the two brothers who had been evil for many years were finally punished.
The third brothers were all skin trauma, so it would be fine if you put some medicine on. They went home with two brothers.
The third brother asked his wife to order food in a nearby restaurant, and kept her elder brother and second brother for dinner, and also called her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, nephews and nieces.
The third brother picked up the wine glass, and before he could speak, he had tears in his eyes. He choked and said, "At the moment of danger, it's still brothers. If it weren't for the two brothers today, even if the younger brothers were not dead, he would have to become disabled. The younger brother was ignorant before, which made his brother unhappy. In recent years, it was difficult for him to apologize because of his face. He took advantage of today's affairs to apologize to both brothers."
After saying this, the third brother drank all his mouth, knelt down to the two brothers, and kowtowed heavily.
The eldest and second brother helped the third brother up and said, "Brothers and brothers are connected with each other. If you are in trouble, you should be the older brother. No one except parents have the right to bully us."
When it comes to this, the three brothers were in love, hugged each other, with tears in their eyes. The unhappiness in the past also disappeared. When the three sisters-in-law saw this scene, they couldn't help but lower their heads.
"Hey! If my grandfather and grandmother saw you like this, I wouldn't know how happy it would be." Yang Ji's words broke the atmosphere at this moment.
"What did you say just now?" the second brother turned around and asked.
Yang Ji mustered up the courage and said, "I mean, grandparents most want to see you like this. If you had done this earlier, grandparents would not have returned to the countryside, and grandmother would not have scooped out boiling water and poured cold water when cooking dumplings on New Year's Eve."
"Ah! That's not the Kitchen God..." The eldest daughter-in-law blurted out.
"Auntie, do you still believe in this? No wonder Mr. Zhu said that many people in the world worship gods and Buddhas, but they did not worship the true gods. I secretly went to the kitchen that day and saw my grandmother scooping boiling water and pouring cold water. I didn't know what it meant at that time. Later, I asked the gentleman privately, the gentleman said that his son did not speak strange powers and confusing gods. There were no ghosts and gods in the world. Ghosts and gods were in the hearts of the world. Wicked people and ghosts were the masters, and good people were the masters. I didn't understand what this meant at that time. Today, the uncle, father and third uncle reconciled, and I truly realized the heart of my grandmother. She deliberately did not boil water. First, she hoped to get together during the New Year to let Dad and the others talk more and arouse brotherly friendship again. Second, she hoped that we would spend more time with my grandfather. He is old, isn't this what he expects?" Yang Ji burst into tears after he said that.
The three brothers never dreamed that a fourteen-year-old child could understand these things. The three brothers suddenly realized, and their faces were hot, and they all lowered their heads and said nothing. The same was true for the three sisters-in-law.
After a long time of silence, the three brothers raised their heads, looked at each other, and then smiled. Although they did not speak, everything was indifferent.
About the next morning, the three brothers took their families out together, and the direction they went was the same, that was the old house in the countryside.
When the three families entered the yard, the mother Tian was feeding chickens, and the father was polishing the hoe. When they saw the children's expressions, the old couple seemed to understand everything. They were smiling as usual, but this smile contained relief.
The three brothers did not cry and admit their mistakes to their parents, but said they missed their parents and brought their families to live for a few days. Yang Rong and his wife understood in their hearts that their sons had repented and the men's apology was sometimes like this.
The three brothers wanted to take their parents to the suburbs to live together, but were rejected by Tian. She said, "Your father and I have done what we have done, so we are relieved. Filial piety and unfilial piety do not depend on whether we are around you. As long as we have to keep in mind, it is great filial piety."
From now on, when we come to deliver money and food, the three brothers will bring their families with them and stay with their parents for a few days. They are not busy on weekdays, and they will come to visit them. Every year, the three families will return to the village during the New Year. After the fifth and sixth day of the New Year, Tian starts to rush them back. After all, life still has to be lived, and they have to work hard for those few pieces of silver. It is not easy for everyone to live. (The story ends)
[Subsequent]
Years have passed, and Yang Rong and his wife have passed away. Since the three brothers reconciled, they have opened a warehouse together to specialize in collecting medicinal materials. Yang Ji has the highest qualification among his cousins. Many years later, he became the helmsman of warehouse . When it comes to the Yang family of Baoding Prefecture drug dealer, everyone around them knows it.
[Written at the end]
Everyone lives in this world for a few years, and there will definitely be many people who want to thank them, among which, our parents must be. Parents’ love for their children cannot be expressed or described in words and words. Sometimes we may not understand it, but everything they do has only one meaning, that is - love!
The same is true for Yang Rong and his wife's love for their sons. Seeing that their sons had conflicts over themselves, the two old men moved out alone, Tian refused to boil the water. The deep meaning of this is the words of his grandson Yang Ji. This shows that even if you have a family, a son, or even a grandson, in the eyes of your parents, you are still a child.
This story also tells us that it is hard to give up the affection of family and family. Brothers are brothers. When the eldest and second brother heard that his younger brother was in trouble, he rushed over to help him like a fly. Isn’t it because of blood connection?
Mr. Zhu taught Yang Ji one of the words that were very thorough: There are no ghosts and gods in the world, and ghosts and gods are all in the hearts of the world. Wicked people and ghosts are the masters, and good people and gods are the masters.
