surnamed Wang

Wang Gingquan sat on the mountainside for a long time, and saw that the sky in the distance was overcast.

He got up and patted his butt, glanced at the tombstone, put on his bag and walked down the mountain.

The dark clouds came quickly, and just as Wang Gingquan reached the foot of the mountain, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the rain fell immediately.

Wang Gangquan found a place to stand at the base of the wall, and the surrounding villagers packed up their things early and returned to their homes. He was the only one left on the street.

The bus that came here has already left, so it seems that we can only stay in the village for one night tonight.

He hesitated for a moment, put on his hat, went to the house in his memory, and knocked on the iron door.

There was a dog barking in the courtyard, followed by a rustling sound, and the iron door was opened by a middle-aged man.

Seeing the young man, the man froze for a moment, and slurred syllables from his mouth.

Wang Gingquan smiled, raised his hand and made several gestures towards the other party. The other party looked at him in disbelief, and returned several gestures with doubts.

Wang Qingquan said directly:

"Third Uncle, long time no see."

The person in front of him was his uncle Wang Kuan.

The middle-aged man confirmed his nephew's identity, with surprise on his face, and gestured for him to go in.

Wang Gangquan was not polite either, he raised his legs and stepped into the courtyard that he hadn't visited for a long time.

The yard is very large. There is a lush open space in the south, where all kinds of melons and fruits are planted, and there are cement brick and tile houses in the north. There can be seven or eight houses together, which is one of the best in the village.

A yellow dog came up to meet him shaking its head, sniffed at Wang Quanquan's side, then wagged its tail quickly, stood up and was about to pounce on him.

The yellow dog was covered in mud and water, and Wang Gingquan didn't think it was dirty. He squatted down and stroked his old childhood playmate, and said with a smile:
"So you're still here."

At that time, it was just born, and it often stumbled when running, but it would still run around behind Wang Gangquan and his brothers.

Wang Gangquan threw a ham sausage to the yellow dog, got up and asked:
"Third Uncle, is Bin Lai at home?"

The man nodded and pointed to the back room.

……

When he came to the house, Wang Bingquan saw his cousin who was three years younger than himself.

His name is Wang Binglai, he is a handsome young man, his thick eyebrows and big eyes follow his father's, and his fair skin is more like his mother's.

My cousin grew up with a tiger head and a tiger head. Compared with Wang Bingquan, he was much more lovable in appearance, and was very much loved by the elders. However, after the age of five, his intelligence suddenly stagnated and stopped growing.

Wang Kuandao's son went to many hospitals and tried many medicines, but there was no effect. Wang Binglai's intelligence remained at around five years old.

When the two came in, the young man was sitting quietly by the window, looking at the rainwater on the glass with his chin resting on his hands, wondering what he was thinking.

This is his advantage since he was a child. He is quiet and obedient, and he never rolls around for what he wants like other children.

But the father would rather that he is a normal person, even if he is a bit of a jerk, a bum with no business...

Wang Kuan made gestures to his son and introduced Wang Gangquan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The young man turned his head and looked at the other party with doubts on his face, as if he couldn't remember who he was.

Wang Quanquan stepped forward, took out a toy gun from his schoolbag, aimed at the young man and lightly pulled the trigger.

The slightly outdated toys made cheap sounds and lights, Wang Binglai was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled innocently like a child and said:

"Wang Gangquan, are you Wang Gangquan?"

"Call me brother."

"Brother." The young man was very obedient.

Wang Gangquan handed the toy to the other party with a smile, took out cigarettes and wine from the backpack and said:

"Third Uncle, I came here in a hurry this time, so I didn't prepare anything decent."

Seeing this, Wang Kuan waved his hands again and again, patted the other person on the shoulder and went to the kitchen to prepare meals.

The man is still as loyal as before, but with the passage of time, his temples are gray and his aging is more obvious than that of his elder brother Wang Zhong.

Wang Gangquan put the cigarettes and alcohol on the table, looked at the busy back of the other party, and was filled with emotion in his heart.

Turning around, Wang Binglai was curiously looking at his bulging backpack.

"You boy, you are still the same as before, with a sharp nose."

Wang Gangquan directly turned the bag over and dumped the things all over the sofa. In order to make it more decorative, he deliberately carried a slightly exaggerated mountaineering bag.

Looking at the various snack toys all over the sofa, the young man's eyes were straightened, and the scene that he would only encounter in his dreams since he was a child appeared in front of him today.

"I said before I left that I'll bring you delicious food when I come back. How about it, brother didn't lie to you?"

Wang Binglai raised his bright eyes and nodded with a bag of snacks in each hand.

……

Knowing that there were guests at home, Fang Yan rushed back from the neighbor's house.

Over forty years old, she hugged Wang Quanquan into her arms, and tears fell down before she could speak.

She is Wang Gangquan's aunt. When she was young, she was a well-known beauty and educated. Somehow, she fell in love with Wang Kuan, who was congenitally dumb.

"Son, how have you been all these years?"

"pretty good."

Wang Gingquan is now a head taller than the other party, but the woman recognized him at a glance, still the same as before, patted his head and said:
"Stay here today, don't you want to go?"

Wang Bingquan smiled, "Auntie, we need a car if we want to leave this Wangjia Village?"

"It's fine if you don't leave."

Fang Yan sighed, then remembered something, and asked:

"You are three years older than Bin, you should be 22 now, are you married?"

Wang Gangquan nodded subconsciously at first, then shook his head.

"This child, if he succeeds, if he doesn't succeed, why does he nod and shake his head?"

"Auntie, I'm still in school."

"Oh, yes, yes, I forgot about this, the children now are different from us at that time."

After Fang Yan finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen.

"Old Wang, don't be too busy, just let me do it."

Hearing the sound of spatulas colliding and smelling the aroma of food, Wang Gangquan turned to look at his cousin.

At this moment, the other party was holding a pack of spicy strips, staring out the window in a daze.

"What are you looking at?"

"Brother, there seems to be a dragon behind the clouds."

"Dragon?" Wang Bingquan was slightly surprised.

"Journey to the West said that the Dragon King is in charge of spreading the rain. Does that look like a dragon?"

Wang Gingquan looked along the opponent's fingers, the sky was gray, and there was a group of dark clouds that really looked like a dragon.

……

The dinner was enjoyable, and Wang Gangquan hadn't experienced the feeling of eating without quarreling for a long time.

After dinner, he and Wang Binglai slept on the same bed, the other's eyes seemed to glow at night, staring straight at the sky outside the window.

After a long day of hard work, Wang Gangquan was already tired, and soon after laying on the pillow, he cried out.

In the middle of the night, the moonlight shone into the room, Wang Binglai was just about to fall asleep in a daze, when his cousin sat up suddenly.

The young man was immediately frightened, swallowed, shrank to the corner, and looked at the other party tremblingly.

Wang Quanquan glanced at him, stroked his chin and said:
"It turned out to be a fairy who made a mistake and was demoted to the mortal world."

After saying that, he looked out of the window again, "There is still a special person watching over it, how big a mistake did you make?"

The cousin still didn't know what happened, he just stared blankly at him, Wang Bingquan pointed at his forehead, and said in a low voice:

"Go to sleep, you will be enlightened when you wake up, this is not letting you be tortured, it is clearly torturing the second uncle and aunt."

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the sky and said word by word:

"I have guaranteed this person, do you have any objections?"

A burst of thunder exploded out of thin air, and heavy rain fell.
