Four brothers in spring, summer, autumn and winter

Once upon a time, there was a farmer couple who made a living by farming and raised four sons. The eldest is called spring breeze, the second is called summer rain, the third is called autumn fog, and the fourth is called winter snow. The four sons have different personalities, lively spring breeze, irritable summer rain, charitable autumn fog and cold winter snow.

One day, heaven sent people to the world to recruit staff. Spring breeze, summer rain, autumn fog and winter snow are very honored to be hired to work in heaven. The Jade Emperor put them in charge of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The peasant couple are very happy and proud. Their four sons will work in heaven. Neighbors came to congratulate them. When leaving, the parents warned their four sons: "Children, it is a blessing that we can find a job in heaven. Our ancestral graves are full of smoke. You must work hard, abide by the rules and regulations of heaven, don't live up to the expectations of your parents and folks, and do more things that benefit the world. " The children readily agreed to their parents' warnings and went to work in heaven happily.

Day after day, year after year. Thirty years later, the strong man in the past has now become a shriveled old man with a wrinkled face and gray hair. The couple miss their four sons very much. They spent a lot of time in Lacrimosa. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the couple will look out on the hillside in front of the door, hoping that the children will go home in clothes and come back as soon as possible.

This year, the old man is over 70 years old. Seeing the Mid-Autumn Festival coming, his wife fell ill because she missed her son, but on her deathbed, she only longed to see her four sons again. The old man came to the hillside alone and begged the jade emperor to allow them to meet their mother and son. The old man kowtowed to the Jade Emperor three times and said to Heaven, "Jade Emperor, my four sons have worked in Heaven for decades. How are they now? My husband and wife are old, and my wife is dying now. I just want to meet my four sons. " The old man said it again and again. Time passed by minute by minute. Seeing that it was getting dark, the old man made up his mind and the Jade Emperor refused to go home. He knew that if the children didn't come back this Mid-Autumn Festival, his wife would never see them again. He doesn't want his wife to regret it all her life. The Jade Emperor was moved by the old man's true feelings. He decided to give spring breeze, summer rain, autumn fog and winter snow a "short holiday" to let them meet their parents.

It changes all the year round. Although spring breeze, summer rain, autumn fog and winter snow all work in heaven, they can't get together at different times or places. They miss their parents very much. After learning that the Jade Emperor promised them to go home to visit relatives, the four brothers quickly kowtowed to the Jade Emperor and went home happily. On the way home, four people bowed their heads and searched for their hometown by memory. Spring breeze said, "There is a small pine tree in front of our house." Yu Xia said: "There is a stream next to the village." Autumn fog said, "Mother must wash clothes by the river." Orientalism: "Dad must be chopping wood on the mountain." They walked and walked, but they couldn't find their home. "That little pine tree is gone." "There are several women washing clothes by the stream, but there is no mother." "Why didn't Dad go up the mountain to cut firewood today?" You muttered, puzzled. At this time, they saw an old man standing on the mountain praying, as if talking nonstop and in a trance. The old man has been praying here for two days and nights. When the four men came forward, Qiu Wu politely said to the old man, "Old man, are you from this village?" The old man was shocked, and the four young people in front of him looked familiar. Do they seem to have met somewhere? The old man stepped forward bravely and said, "Who are you looking for? I have lived here for more than 70 years. " Yu Xia hurried forward and said, "Old man, we are lost and can't find our home." The old man said, "What are your parents' names? Chunyu told the old man his parents' names. With tears in his eyes, the old man said in a trembling voice, "Come with me, children!" The old man limped ahead on crutches, and four people followed in confusion. When they came to a tall pine tree, the old man said, "The cabin in front is your home!" " Spring breeze said in surprise: "old man, you are mistaken!" "! There is a small pine tree in front of my house, which is obviously a big pine tree! ”。 Yu Xia went on to say, "This season, my mother went to the village stream to wash clothes every day. Why didn't I see my mother? " The old man said, "Come into the house quickly, your mother is waiting for you!" " ".Four people came into the room with a grain of salt. The hut was shabby but neat. Lying on the kang was an old mother with gray hair, who kept chanting. Four people were standing there in a daze. The old man said, "This is what your mother has been thinking about day and night for more than 30 years. "One day in the sky, one year on the ground. The four men seemed to think of something at the same time, kneeling in front of the two old people at the same time, sobbing and sobbing. At this time, the outside was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, thunderstorm whistling, chickens flying and dogs barking, and it was dark. The four men stopped crying at once and hurried outside to look. In a blink of an eye, the dark clouds cleared and calm was restored.

The old mother is dying. When she heard that her son had come back, she slowly opened her deep eyes. Her kind and urgent eyes want to hold her four children in her arms and never part. The old mother leaned over, which was obviously beyond her depth. She closed her eyes slowly, trying to gather some strength. After a while, the old mother opened her eyes again and took turns to hold the hands of the four children, feeling so kind. She touched her eyes unconsciously, and her tears were gone. Dad said to the four children, "Fuck you. Your tears have dried up. "

Looking at the shabby hut and the elderly and sick parents, the four children felt extremely guilty. In order to make up for their parents' filial piety for more than 40 years, they decided to build a tall house for their parents. The old man stopped them and said, "children, we are glad to see you become talents." Your mother and I are old, and there are few days left. What's the use of building a house? " .

After dinner, the four brothers sit together and talk about their work. Spring breeze said: "the second brother has passion and dares to do it;" Third brother is gentle, simple and generous; The fourth brother is selfless and ruthless, and I am lively and energetic. " Then, the four brothers introduced their work in these years in front of their parents. The spring breeze said, "I have brought warmth to the world. Trees are sprouting and flowers are blooming." Yu Xia said: "I brought heat to the world, and the trees grew very luxuriantly." I often bring several heavy rains to the world and nourish crops. Qiu Shuang said, "I brought coolness, fruit and joy to the world. Oriental theory: "Although I bring people cold, snow can purify people's hearts." . Later, they spoke out their shortcomings. Feng Chun said: "Sometimes I am not calm enough. I am too busy with the game. I get up early and get greedy, which delays the best time for people to farm. " Yu Xia said: "Although I have done some good things, my temper is bad and changeable, and sometimes I get angry and get angry." Sometimes my heart aches and thunderstorms roar. "Autumn Fog said," I am sentimental and rainy sometimes. "Sometimes things are indecisive and foggy, which brings inconvenience to traffic." Orientalism: "I am straightforward, cruel and lacking in love." Looking at the children's heart-to-heart conversation, the two old people were all smiles, which was a kind of satisfaction and pride.

Time passed unconsciously, so it's time to report back to heaven. The four brothers couldn't bear to leave their parents, knowing that this parting would last forever.

A few days later, my mother left, so serene and happy. Peace is because her four sons have grown up, and it is very gratifying to see them before they die.
