曾剛偉總算出院回到家里，可不順心的事情又緊跟著來(lái)了。這一次車禍，住院費(fèi)，買假肢，加上賠償，幾乎把曾剛偉多年的存儲(chǔ)給掏光了。曾剛偉不能干重活，覃丹紅又得在家里照顧他，坐食山空，曾剛偉一家陷入了困境。

    曾剛偉雖然套上了假肢，柱根拐杖可以行走，可他還是不習(xí)慣。整天苦著臉，長(zhǎng)噓短嘆，甚至有時(shí)還無(wú)緣無(wú)故地發(fā)火。

    覃丹紅理解他的處境和心情，也不頂撞他，讓他發(fā)泄，待他平靜后才跟他說(shuō)話。

    有的時(shí)候，曾剛偉在半夜里偷偷地哭泣，覃丹紅也會(huì)爬起來(lái)陪著他流淚。

    別哭，別哭啊。覃丹紅安慰道。這個(gè)時(shí)候，她的話已經(jīng)起不了什么作用了。

    關(guān)你什么事？曾剛偉生氣地說(shuō)。

    好，不關(guān)我的事。覃丹紅說(shuō)。其實(shí)她知道，曾剛偉是在說(shuō)氣話，他心里不好受。

    曾剛偉實(shí)在憋不住了，有天，他忽然對(duì)覃丹紅說(shuō)，丹紅，你還是回家去吧，你不要管我。

    覃丹紅認(rèn)真地看了曾剛偉一會(huì)兒才說(shuō)，我不管你誰(shuí)來(lái)管你？都到這步田地了，你還這么倔，你還想讓我?guī)е�你的骨肉嫁給我哥？

    不這樣，還能怎樣？曾剛偉說(shuō)，我又不能養(yǎng)活你們！

    你不能，我能呀。覃丹紅說(shuō)，我可以養(yǎng)活你們呀。

    你這么樣，怎樣養(yǎng)活我們？曾剛偉說(shuō)，我都成了這號(hào)人了，不想拖累你。

    你把我想成怎樣的人啦？我想要走，早就走了。覃丹紅說(shuō)，我回去幫我爸打工，阿爸不會(huì)虧待我的。我是想，等你習(xí)慣了，我就回去。你別忘了，礦場(chǎng)里還有我的一份財(cái)產(chǎn)呢。

    可阿爸，他不會(huì)同意我們的。曾剛偉嘆息道，他的脾氣你也懂。

    別擔(dān)心，我哥說(shuō)了，等過(guò)了一段日子，我這身子大了，你習(xí)慣走路了，我們一起回去求阿爸，準(zhǔn)行。

    曾剛偉認(rèn)真地注視覃丹紅，還是搖頭長(zhǎng)噓短嘆。

    這天上午，日頭剛爬上山嘴，明媚的陽(yáng)光普照大地，山野顯得更加清新了。

    這是一個(gè)好日子，可覃丹紅的心里卻不那么好。她騎著單車回家，一路上，她都在想著如何向阿爸求情，怎么樣讓阿媽站在她這一邊支持她，讓她度過(guò)難關(guān)。

    回到家里，只有媽媽和劉河在家。張為梅看見(jiàn)女兒覃丹紅憔悴得變了模樣的樣子，傷心地抱住她，不知道說(shuō)什么好了。劉河卻顯得高興的樣子，說(shuō)妹妹你回來(lái)就好，別想那么多了，回來(lái)就好。

    張為梅說(shuō)，丹紅，回來(lái)就好，你先坐一下，跟你哥說(shuō)話，我做飯去。

    媽，不用忙了，我爸不在家？覃丹紅說(shuō)。

    不在家，今天鄉(xiāng)政府舉行閉路電視線路安裝儀式，鄉(xiāng)政府邀請(qǐng)你爸參加剪彩去了。張為梅說(shuō)。

    哦，等下他回來(lái)嗎？覃丹紅問(wèn)。

    回來(lái)的。回來(lái)的。劉河說(shuō)，剪彩儀式不用很多時(shí)間的。

    哥，我想去看剪彩儀式，你送我去，好嗎？覃丹紅問(wèn)。

    劉河把目光投向張為梅，張為梅知道劉河的意思，點(diǎn)頭說(shuō)，去吧，阿河，送你妹妹去看吧。

    好的。劉河說(shuō)，走，我們?nèi)タ醇舨蕛x式。

    劉河推出摩托車，跨了上去，回頭對(duì)覃丹紅說(shuō)，上車吧，妹妹？這次讓我來(lái)開(kāi)。

    覃丹紅跨上了摩托車，輕輕抱住了劉河的腰部。

    覃丹紅覺(jué)得這是她很多年以來(lái)沒(méi)有過(guò)的溫馨的享受了。

    摩托車在鄉(xiāng)間公路上飛馳，陽(yáng)光明媚，一棵棵樹(shù)興奮地往后閃去，兩邊的稻田，水稻禾苗長(zhǎng)勢(shì)良好，一片青綠，生機(jī)盎然。

    摩托車很快就來(lái)到了鄉(xiāng)政府文化站的廣場(chǎng)。
