Niu Xiaoqiang's heart sank when he heard this, and he complained that he didn't take good care of his poor relatives.

In fact, he can't be blamed for this, it can only be said that he is usually busy with work, and he has to bear a lot of pressure every day, and he has no time to think about other things.

As soon as he heard his uncle and grandfather say that Yingzi didn't come because he didn't have shoes to wear, Niu Xiaoqiang subconsciously looked down at his uncle's feet and found that his uncle was wearing a pair of worn cloth shoes.

The fabric of these shoes is very thin, it is not warm at all, and it has been stained with a lot of mud and water, so it will not keep warm even more.

Niu Xiaoqiang pulled his uncle and grandfather to the house with some distress: "Your shoes are soaked, hurry up and go into the house to roast the fire, I still have several pairs of new shoes there, let's change them for you." ”

Uncle and grandfather cringed and whispered: "My body is broken and dirty, it is not appropriate for me to enter the house on this happy day, right?"

Niu Xiaoqiang insisted: "What's wrong with this, it's all a family, don't be so outside." ”

Niu Dazhuang was still talking and laughing with everyone, and when he saw Niu Xiaoqiang pulling an old man in ragged clothes to his home, Niu Dazhuang couldn't help but be stunned.

When he saw who Niu Xiaoqiang was pulling, he immediately squeezed out of the crowd and greeted his uncle with a look of surprise: "Uncle, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me when you came?"

When my uncle and grandfather saw that Niu Dazhuang was so enthusiastic about him, he didn't dislike himself at all because of his shabbyness, and couldn't help but sigh: "Da Zhuang, your family is a real person, I originally thought that you would look down on me as a poor relative after you have a good future, but I didn't expect you and Xiaoqiang to be as real as before, and you don't dislike it at all." ”

Niu Dazhuang sighed: "Look at what you said, no matter how good my Niu Dazhuang is, I will not forget my roots, we are also from the poor, what do you dislike? Let's go, let's go into the house and talk." ”

Uncle and grandfather's cringe subsided a lot, and after entering the house, he sat by the fire, constantly looking at the furnishings of Niu Xiaoqiang's house.

Niu Xiaoqiang's family is not much different from before, and it doesn't look very rich, so my uncle and grandfather couldn't help but hesitate: "Da Zhuang, I heard that you are now the deputy factory director, why is your family still the same?"

Niu Dazhuang said with a smile: "Xiaoqiang said that he wanted to build a building, so our family didn't bother to buy belongings." ”

When he said this, he took out two packs of Hongta Shansai from the drawer and gave them to his uncle and grandfather: "You take this, don't be polite to me." ”

Before Uncle and Grandpa had time to excuse himself, Niu Xiaoqiang brought a pair of new cotton boots from under his bed: "Uncle, this is given to me by someone else, I have a lot of shoes, I can't wear them at all, I'll give you these shoes, come, I'll put them on for you." ”

Uncle and grandfather were still emotionally moved just now, but now he is a little moved, because he is excited, he can't speak, he can only wave his hand vigorously.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't talk nonsense anymore, he took off the soaked rag shoes on his uncle's feet, put on the new cotton boots for him, and then spoke: "You get up and take two steps to see if it's suitable, if it's not suitable, let's change a pair, I still have several pairs of new shoes there." ”

Uncle and grandfather were moved: "No need to change it, it's quite appropriate, what, I'm here to congratulate today, but it looks like I'm here to get benefits, how unbelievable it is." ”

Niu Dazhuang grinned and said: "It's all a family, don't be so clear, we are living a better life now, and we should take care of it." ”

As soon as Niu Dazhuang finished speaking, another guest came outside. He had no choice but to confess and get up and go outside to say hello.

Niu Xiaoqiang sat next to his uncle and asked about the situation at his uncle's house: "Uncle and grandpa, where is my uncle working now?"

"He's showing people the cemetery - look at my mouth, today is the big day for the big girl to get married, and it's too unlucky for me to say this. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and waved his hand: "Let's not talk about feudal superstition, don't care about this, I don't know what happened to my uncle's arm?"

This uncle used to help people open mountains and blow up rocks, but because of a production accident, his right hand was blown off by Qi Gen, so he became disabled.

Uncle and grandfather shook his head and sighed: "He is still the same, when it rains on a cloudy day, the old injury hurts badly, and he can't do physical work." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed: "Where is Yingzi? Is she studying or helping at home?"

"She dropped out of elementary school and helped with farming at home, oh, I almost forgot, she asked me to bring you something, well, this is it, I didn't want to help her bring it, but she insisted that I bring this thing to you, saying that she had promised to give it to you a long time ago. ”

Uncle and grandfather took out a small bamboo dragonfly from his pocket while talking, Niu Xiaoqiang received it in his hand and watched it repeatedly, the more he looked at it, the more sad he became, and the more he watched, the more moved he became.

This bamboo dragonfly seems to others to be very ordinary, but it has a special meaning for Niu Xiaoqiang. When he was a child, other children disliked him as a fool, and no one wanted to play with him, only Yingzi didn't mind at all.

Although she is younger than Niu Xiaoqiang, she takes Niu Xiaoqiang to play with her every day. Once other children got together to play with bamboo dragonflies made by themselves, Niu Xiaoqiang was very envious and wanted to join in, but was directly rejected by others.

Niu Xiaoqiang was only eight years old at that time, and he shed tears while being sad. Yingzi saw him squatting on the ground crying, so she stepped forward to ask why. After Niu Xiaoqiang told the reason, Yingzi immediately pulled Niu Xiaoqiang to make bamboo dragonflies.

As a result, neither of them could do it, and Yingzi also cut the palm of her hand for this, leaving a deep scar. Even so, she was very strong and did not shed tears, but covered her palms and assured Niu Xiaoqiang that she would definitely learn to make bamboo dragonflies in the future, and she would definitely give Niu Xiaoqiang one after she was done.

Unfortunately, her father had an accident not long after, and not long after, the family was forced to move to Liuhe Town because of life, and the two never saw each other again.

Niu Xiaoqiang is not what he used to be, he is no longer the fool he used to be, he has forgotten the promise about the bamboo dragonfly, but he didn't expect Yingzi to remember it and complete the original promise.

Niu Xiaoqiang was full of emotion for a while, his thoughts were surging, and scenes from his childhood came to his heart. Somehow, his nose was a little sour and his eyes were red.

Uncle and grandfather didn't notice Niu Xiaoqiang's strangeness, he thought to himself: "Yingzi is a good child, she knew how to help the family work when she was very young, but it's a pity that she was not born in a good family, for this family, she had to sacrifice herself, and she started a family with someone at a young age......"

Niu Xiaoqiang was slightly stunned, then raised his head and asked, "What are you talking about?" She seems to be a month younger than me...... How did you get married??"
