At this time, it was already bright and the early members who were getting up early were also carrying labor tools to go out one after another, preparing to go to work. The sharp-eyed members watched our family walk back and found me following me, and asked: "Old Li, Li Cungui, your Xiaoliang has been found? Where did you find it? Nothing happened? It was a tough night. Just find it and it's good to find it." Some members said, "Last night, the captain said that if Xiaoliang didn't come back today, we would organize us to search again today. Now Xiaoliang is back, hurry up and go back to rest."

Seeing everyone talking like this, my father hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you all for your help last night, which has made you suffer. Now Xiaoliang is back. I'm here to thank you everyone. Everyone will come to the house to drink some other day." When my father said this, he turned his head and told me, "Xiaoliang, why don't you thank you everyone quickly. Last night, everyone suffered a night of sin to find you."

I hurriedly called to the villagers around me, uncle and aunt, and bowed deeply to everyone.

"Xiaoliang thanks all the elders for their concern, which made everyone worry." I quickly said to everyone with a sweet mouth.

"Okay OK, okay, you guys hurry up and go back, we should go to work."

After everyone finished speaking, they walked out of the village. My father watched everyone leave. He turned his head and said to his mother, "You and Xiaoliang go home first. I want to go to the captain's house. I tried my best to find Captain Xiaoliang last night. I want to ask the captain to come to the house to have a drink in the evening. Thank you very much." After saying that, my father quickly walked towards the captain's house. I followed my mother to the house.

The southeastern Shanxi region is a hilly area in the Taihang Mountains. It has both majestic mountains and small plains, but more of them are composed of hills. Therefore, the local residence is very distinctive. Although it was better than before the liberation of the country, it was relatively poor. At that time, people could not afford to build houses, and it was not like now that houses must be approved by the state and planned for you, so they cannot be built privately. At that time, the people built houses based on the terrain, and there were simple adobe houses, and more caves were built according to the mountain, and the courtyard walls were made of adobe and fences.

It is composed of even the gate of the yard is made of fences. If you find that there are large blue bricks and tiles in the flat land, they are all from the landlord's family before the liberation, and later they defeated the local tyrants and distributed the land to ordinary people who had no houses. At that time, people liked to squeeze in and build caves in caves, and they also liked to live in the same caves because of their surnames. What about Wangjiatun, Lijiazhuang, and you can tell that they lived in the same house as a family. My family lives in Lijiazhuang, because the whole area is the surname Li, the captain is also the surname Li, and I was my uncle who had been in the fifth ward. He lived in the Sankong cave not far from my house.

My family also lives in a three-hole cave, and the walls are like most villagers. They are surrounded by earthen embryos and fences, and the gate is made of fences and two wooden boards, but the yard is very large. On the east side is a pigpen. It is made of adobe bricks. There are some plastic cloths on it. Next to the pigpen is a chicken coop built by my father with branches. On the west side of the second yard are piled with coal blocks, dry firewood for burning fires, and shoulder poles and buckets for carrying water. The cave on the east side of the yard is our kitchen. My brother and I slept on the earthen kang in the kitchen. The cave in the middle is where our parents sleep and entertain guests. The cave in the west is for labor tools, including plows, shovels, hoes and other things.

My mother and I came to the door of the house and found a fence door open. Heizi ran in first. My mother looked at me lovingly and said, "Xiaoliang quickly go home, go back and rest for a while, and then mom will cook for you. I talked to my mother and walked into the yard. My mother went to pick up firewood to prepare a fire to cook. I quickly walked into the kitchen in the east. As soon as I reached the door, I heard my brother's voice coming from inside.

"Is it you Xiaoliang? You're back."

I also responded quickly. "Brother is me, I'm back," and I walked into the kitchen. As soon as I entered the kitchen, there was a earthen kang cut from adobe. In front of the earth mine was a stove for cooking. There was a flue through the stove fire below the stove. The flue through the earth kang and leads to the chimney outside. In winter, the stove not only cooks food, but also warms the earthen kang, so it is very comfortable to sleep on the earthen kang when it is cold, but every summer I suffer. The earthen kang is not as hot as possible.

Every summer, my brother and I would roll a cool mat and sleep under the apricot tree in the yard. Not to mention how beautiful it was, we could sleep and eat yellow apricots, but there were many big bumps of mosquito bites on our bodies. But at that time, we still liked the big fan to sleep outside the cave. This year, because my brother fell and injured his waist, the doctor in the village told me that we could not sleep outside due to the wind and cold, so until then, my brother was still sleeping on the earthen kang in the cave.

At this time, my brother was lying on the mat of the earthen kang in a sweatshirt, and there was a quilt on his waist.

When my brother saw me coming in, he moved his body and wanted to sit up. However, because he had a injury on his waist, he moved a few times but still couldn't sit up smoothly. I quickly put down the herbs in my hand and walked up, holding my brother and said, "Brother, don't move around, your waist is injured, come and I will help you sit up slowly." After that, I took the mattress against the wall, and slowly helped my brother lean against the window and sat up half-lying. Then he covered the quilt on his waist. "Brother, are you a little better? Have you taken medicine?"

My brother touched my head with distress and said to me with a smile. "Xiaoliang, my brother's waist was seriously injured this time. He just took some anti-inflammatory drugs and would not be cured for a while. It seems that my brother is a useless person this year, and he can't go to the team to work and can't help with any work at home. He will also drag down his parents to take care of me, which will make you have to work after school every day. Thank you Xiaoliang for your hard work."

I hurriedly grabbed my brother's hand, comforted him and said to him:

"Brother, what are you talking about? We are a family, and we are brothers. Don't say these things in the future."

Then I attached my brother's compensation and whispered to his ear. "Brother, don't worry, see what I brought back to you this time?" Then my nephew's pile of herbs whispered here, this is a magical medicine. If you take these medicines, you will be able to recover from work in the fields soon."
