Chapter 10 My Brothers and Sisters
When Liu Hongmin got on the train, he was extremely sleepy. But he still managed to stay awake, as it was not safe to sit on a train these days.
A few hours later, Liu Hongmin got off the car, carried his luggage and walked more than ten miles before returning home.
In those days, communication was not stable and there was no telephone in the village, so Liu Hongmin could only contact his parents by letter. Liu Hongmin could not be sure when he would arrive home, so he did not notify his parents to pick him up at the station.
He brought back a lot of local specialties from the capital, and stopped along the way, and only entered the village after dark.
The dogs in the village sensed someone walking on the road and started barking wildly.
"cough--"
Liu Hongmin coughed softly, and the barking stopped immediately. Liu Hongmin jokingly glanced at the gap in the wall, and immediately saw a big head shrinking back, screaming and running away.
Liu Hongmin smiled happily, and felt much less tired. His original body had been naughty since he was a child, and all the dogs in the village had been beaten by him. These dogs regarded Liu Hongmin as a scourge, and would run away when they saw him.
Soon, Liu Hongmin arrived at the door of his house. Before he could open the door, a big dog jumped over the wall as high as a person and pounced on him.
"Bajie!"
Liu Hongmin hugged the fat dog and said, "Have you gained weight again? Did you steal meat again? Have you been beaten?"
The fat dog Bajie is the dog Liu Hongmin has raised since he was a child. He is a coward, but he eats a lot. The old man said that he is the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie and did not want Liu Hongmin to raise him. However, Liu Hongmin insisted on raising him and kept most of the tuition money awarded to him by his village, township and city, only asking his parents not to treat him harshly.
Now it seems that this foodie is not starving.
In those days, supplies were scarce, and Liu Hongmin's parents were lucky to be able to give it some leftovers, and there was no way it could eat meat.
Bajie didn't understand what Liu Hongmin said. He just wagged his tail and begged for mercy, wanting to get close to Liu Hongmin.
At this time, the door was pushed open and a middle-aged couple walked out of the house.
"Hongmin, are you back?"
"Dad, Mom, it's me!"
When Liu's parents heard that it was their eldest son, they immediately ran over to open the door and rushed to his side, "Why didn't you say anything when you came back?"
"That's right, ask your dad to pick you up! It's snowing heavily, and the road must be so difficult to walk on!"
At this time, two figures ran out of the house, and a little boy was chasing the little girl in front with clothes in his hand.
"Brother, are you back?"
"Little sister, put on some clothes!"
Liu Hongmin walked around the parents, met the little girl, and picked her up directly, "Yingzi, do you miss your brother?"
"I thought about it!" Liu Hongying said excitedly, holding Liu Hongmin's neck tightly with both hands.
"Clothes!" Liu Hongjun ran over quickly, holding his sister's clothes in his hands, "Brother, put them on her quickly."
Liu Hongmin took the clothes and wrapped Liu Hongying tightly, "Dad, Mom, I'm going into the house first."
"You go in first, don't let the little girl get cold. What a fool this girl is, running out without even putting on clothes."
"We just need to take the things."
Liu Hongjun ran over quickly and said, "Let me get it. Brother, did you bring me anything delicious?"
"I just know how to eat!"
Although they were scolding their son, Liu Hongmin's parents had smiles on their faces. Before Liu Hongmin was admitted to university, they looked like cats and dogs hated him. If Liu Hongmin had not been able to earn centimeters early, the villagers would have gossiped about him.
But after Liu Hongmin was admitted to Beijing University, all the gossip turned into praise. Their family also underwent earth-shaking changes. Most of the scholarships given by the higher authorities were kept by Liu Hongmin at home, which greatly improved the family's life. Although they still had to raise a dog that could eat, it was much better than before.
Liu Hongmin would send back five yuan every month, making the family's living conditions better. Liu Hongjun and Liu Hongying were able to go to high school, which was not an easy thing to do without nine years of compulsory education. With only Liu's father and mother earning a cent, they couldn't even make ends meet for the two of them, let alone school. Liu Hongjun brought in the largest suitcase, "It's so heavy! Brother, what did you pack?"
"They are all good things. If you don't want them, you can just watch from the side."
"Of course!"
Liu Hongjun said loudly: "Brother, you can't be partial. I was the one who brought this box into the house."
Liu Hongmin put the box on the kang, opened it, took out a toy, and handed it to his brother, "Take it and play with it!"
"Brother, what is this? How do you play it?"
"I'll teach you later." Liu Hongmin took out another piece of clothing, "Yingzi, this is for you."
Liu Hongying took the clothes excitedly and said, "So beautiful! Thank you, brother."
"Mom, please help Yingzi change into it."
Liu Hongjun was anxious, "Brother, I want new clothes too."
"Don't want toys anymore?" Liu Hongmin teased him.
"Yes, I want them all!" Liu Hongjun was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
Seeing that he was extremely anxious, Liu Hongmin took out a boy's suit from his bag and slapped it on him, "Go change!"
"Great, I have new clothes too."
"Snapped!"
Mother Liu slapped him on the head and said, "You want everything."
Liu Hongjun quickly dodged his mother's subsequent attack and ran aside to change clothes.
Liu Hongmin took out two more sets of clothes, "Dad, Mom, these are yours."
"You kid, we still have clothes to wear, why buy clothes?"
"It's the New Year!" Liu Hongmin said with a smile, "Of course we have to wear new clothes. Everyone has new clothes."
When Mr. Liu saw his son's filial piety, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Okay, we'll all wear new clothes during the New Year."
"That's right! Everyone has it, including me."
Liu Hongmin also took out a new set of clothes, tried them on himself, and tried them on with his family.
After dinner, Liu Hongmin couldn't resist the urge to sleep and went to bed early. At this moment, he felt extremely happy. The happy scene of his family was what he had always hoped for before he traveled through time.
Although this family is a little poorer now, it can still give him warmth.
In a daze, he seemed to see some pictures, but before he could figure out what they were, he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next day, Liu Hongmin recalled the scene of last night and raised his eyebrows slightly. Isn’t this the scene from the TV series "My Brothers and Sisters"?
The story of "My Brothers and Sisters" also takes place in Northeast China, and the time when the story takes place is almost the same as now. Perhaps it can serve as his test work for off-campus magazines.
Thinking of this, he immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote down the story outline of "My Brothers and Sisters".
After his family members got up, they saw him writing something and didn't dare to disturb him.
