At noon on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, a special reunion dinner in Gaojiadian Village, Huya Street, Xiaoting District, Yichang City added a lot of warmth and celebration to the village covered by Ruixue.
Sun Changqing and Liu Guobao, two old people sitting in the main seat, are a pair of brothers who have forged a special relationship. Twenty-one years ago, Sun Changqing invited Liu Guobao, a disabled person in the same village, to live in his home. For many years, his children and grandchildren regarded Liu Guobao as their elders, and the family respected the young and respected them happily, which became a beautiful talk in the local ten miles and eight townships.
Three generations send blessings to invite the protagonist of the reunion dinner.
In the early morning of the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, it was snowing in Gaojiadian village, and the rural fields were full of ink and wash styles. There are red lanterns hanging on the trees on the roadside in the village, and the strong flavor of the year is coming.
Sun Changqing’s three sons are posting Spring Festival couplets at their doorsteps. Sun Xiying, the eldest, is 53 years old and works in Zhijiang. The second child, Sun Yibo, is 50 years old and works in Xiaoting City. The third son, Sun Yihua, is 47 years old and works in Shenzhen. They all came back specially to celebrate the New Year with Liu Guobao, the "fourth dad", because the "fourth dad" who has lived in their home for 21 years has just got a new residence this year and no longer spends New Year’s Eve with his family as in previous years.
The wives of the three brothers are planning a reunion dinner in the kitchen. Sun Changqing greets his son, Yihua and his granddaughter to write the word "Fu" for Liu Guobao and send it to his new room for posting.
At 10: 30 in the morning, Sun Changqing walked to Liu Guobao’s new residence more than 300 meters away from their home with rice and oil. Xi Ying and Yi Bo solemnly posted the word "Fu" on Liu Guobao’s door, and Liu Guobao, who was nearby, quickly greeted him, saying "Wow, Wow" happily with his relatives. Although everyone can’t hear what Liu Guobao is saying, they all know that "Fourth Dad" misses them very much.
The family surrounded Liu Guobao and returned to the Sun family’s old house. The steaming dishes were full of tables. Sun Changqing took Liu Guobao to the main seat, and his wife, Wang Bangying, sat around with his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. The whole family poured drinks and raised their glasses to wish each other a happy reunion.
Liu Guobao was not formal. He looked at these younger generations with a small glass of wine and a smile on his face. As an outsider for more than 20 years, he watched his family grow up day by day …
Retired old township party secretary takes back a dumb brother
Sun Changqing is 76 years old. He joined the army at the age of 17. He worked as a signal soldier in a certain unit of the People’s Liberation Army in Lanzhou for six years. He retired in 1968 and returned to his hometown. He worked as a group secretary, a battalion chief and a village party secretary in Gaojiadian Village. He retired in 1997 and transferred to Huya Street Office to engage in logistics work.
Liu Guobao is 11 years younger than Sun Changqing. He is a farmer in Gaojiadian Village. Since he was a child, he could not speak because of language barriers. His family was very poor and he never got married. He followed his old father to farm. After his father’s death, his old residence was dilapidated and gradually became uninhabitable, and life was very difficult.
In 2000, when Sun Changqing came home, he learned about Liu Guobao’s situation. He discussed with his wife and wanted to take Liu Guobao to live at home. Wang Bangying, also an old party member, used to be the village women’s director and was very supportive of her husband’s idea.
In this way, 44-year-old Liu Guobao was invited to Sun Changqing’s home and became a long-term guest in a room on the second floor. Sun Changqing has only one stove at home. Every meal is cooked by Liu Guobao on the stove first, and then Wang Bangying cooks for the whole family.
On weekdays, Liu Guobao works in his own several acres of responsibility fields and does odd jobs during the slack season. Sun Changqing found that although Liu Guobao didn’t communicate well with others, he was ingenious, able to weave baskets and baskets, and also able to repair bicycles. He was particularly diligent and economical. A plastic basin was broken and mended, and it was used for more than 10 years.
Sun Changqing gave Liu Guobao a key to the gate, and every room in the house was open to him. In addition to living in a room, Liu Guobao insisted on not taking advantage of anything else, and even Sun Changqing’s hot water would not be borrowed casually.
After getting along for a long time, Sun Changqing respected Liu Guobao more and more. Every time he went home, he would sit and chat with Liu Guobao. Although I can’t hear what he said clearly, I can understand his meaning roughly. When there is something to discuss, two people will communicate with each other with pen and paper.
Liu Guobao also trusted Sun Changqing very much, and the two men gradually became brothers.
Because Liu Guobao is the fourth in his family, Sun Changqing asked his three sons to call him "the fourth father". Although the three sons are not often at home, as long as they come back, they will bring some alcohol and tobacco to honor the "fourth father" and invite him to eat at the same table.
At that time, Sun Changqing’s three grandchildren were still young. Liu Guobao loved children very much, helped them bathe and took them to play.
Wenfeng, a 23-year-old grandson, worked as an intern in Nanjing after leaving the army. He was closest to Grandpa Four since he was a child: "When I was a child, I didn’t like to eat grandma’s cooking, but I liked to squeeze into Grandpa Four’s arms to cook a small stove."
At the reunion dinner, he and his sister raised a glass to wish grandpa four good health, and the old man held the cup happily from ear to ear.
Twenty years of friendship between gentlemen set an example of harmony and family style.
Zhao Xirong, secretary of the general branch of Gaojiadian Village, told Jimu journalists that it is not possible for everyone to invite an outsider to stay at home unconditionally. What is more difficult is to live kindly and affectionately. Therefore, the special brotherhood between Sun Changqing and Liu Guobao made the whole village pay tribute. Liu Guobao has gout, and sometimes the pain is unbearable in the middle of the night. Sun Changqing will ride a motorcycle and take him to the clinic for an injection.
At first, some people suspected that Sun Changqing took Liu Guobao in order to help him work and earn money for his work. In fact, over the years, Sun Changqing has never received Liu Guobao’s rent, utilities, and often sent him some vegetables, meat, clothes and shoes.
Sun Changqing never asked about the money saved by Liu Guobao for farming and odd jobs.
What moved Sun Changqing was that Liu Guobao himself was poor and thrifty, and when his little grandson Wenfeng joined the army, he gave 50 yuan a red envelope; On Sun Changqing’s 70th birthday, Liu Guobao gave 100 yuan a red envelope. Sun Changqing didn’t refuse too much. He cherished his brother’s friendship.
Zhao Xirong said that Xiaoting is a land of the cultures of the Three Kingdoms and has always advocated friendship. A friend of a gentleman like Sun Changqing and Liu Guobao is really admirable.
Recalling the initial intention of accepting Liu Guobao 21 years ago, Sun Changqing said: "I am a retired soldier, a Communist party member, and a village party secretary. How can I turn a blind eye to the difficulties of the villagers?"
In fact, the brotherly love between Sun Changqing and Liu Guobao is also a good example of their harmonious family style. The three generations of the Sun family are affectionate brothers, friendly sisters-in-law, and orderly, which makes the neighbors very envious.
In October last year, Liu Guobao’s younger brother rebuilt his new house and took his brother back to live with him. Considering that he is old, Sun Changqing has limited care for Liu Guobao. After consulting him, he agreed to move back to live with his younger brother.
It is precisely because of the first separation of the Chinese New Year in 21 years that this early reunion dinner was held. On the table, Sun Changqing specifically told the younger generation: "If I am a hundred years old, you should continue to take good care of my fourth father."
