曾刚伟总算出院回到家里，可不顺心的事情又紧跟着来了。这一次车祸，住院费，买假肢，加上赔偿，几乎把曾刚伟多年的存储给掏光了。曾刚伟不能干重活，覃丹红又得在家里照顾他，坐食山空，曾刚伟一家陷入了困境。

    曾刚伟虽然套上了假肢，柱根拐杖可以行走，可他还是不习惯。整天苦着脸，长嘘短叹，甚至有时还无缘无故地发火。

    覃丹红理解他的处境和心情，也不顶撞他，让他发泄，待他平静后才跟他说话。

    有的时候，曾刚伟在半夜里偷偷地哭泣，覃丹红也会爬起来陪着他流泪。

    别哭，别哭啊。覃丹红安慰道。这个时候，她的话已经起不了什么作用了。

    关你什么事？曾刚伟生气地说。

    好，不关我的事。覃丹红说。其实她知道，曾刚伟是在说气话，他心里不好受。

    曾刚伟实在憋不住了，有天，他忽然对覃丹红说，丹红，你还是回家去吧，你不要管我。

    覃丹红认真地看了曾刚伟一会儿才说，我不管你谁来管你？都到这步田地了，你还这么倔，你还想让我带着你的骨肉嫁给我哥？

    不这样，还能怎样？曾刚伟说，我又不能养活你们！

    你不能，我能呀。覃丹红说，我可以养活你们呀。

    你这么样，怎样养活我们？曾刚伟说，我都成了这号人了，不想拖累你。

    你把我想成怎样的人啦？我想要走，早就走了。覃丹红说，我回去帮我爸打工，阿爸不会亏待我的。我是想，等你习惯了，我就回去。你别忘了，矿场里还有我的一份财产呢。

    可阿爸，他不会同意我们的。曾刚伟叹息道，他的脾气你也懂。

    别担心，我哥说了，等过了一段日子，我这身子大了，你习惯走路了，我们一起回去求阿爸，准行。

    曾刚伟认真地注视覃丹红，还是摇头长嘘短叹。

    这天上午，日头刚爬上山嘴，明媚的阳光普照大地，山野显得更加清新了。

    这是一个好日子，可覃丹红的心里却不那么好。她骑着单车回家，一路上，她都在想着如何向阿爸求情，怎么样让阿妈站在她这一边支持她，让她度过难关。

    回到家里，只有妈妈和刘河在家。张为梅看见女儿覃丹红憔悴得变了模样的样子，伤心地抱住她，不知道说什么好了。刘河却显得高兴的样子，说妹妹你回来就好，别想那么多了，回来就好。

    张为梅说，丹红，回来就好，你先坐一下，跟你哥说话，我做饭去。

    妈，不用忙了，我爸不在家？覃丹红说。

    不在家，今天乡政府举行闭路电视线路安装仪式，乡政府邀请你爸参加剪彩去了。张为梅说。

    哦，等下他回来吗？覃丹红问。

    回来的。回来的。刘河说，剪彩仪式不用很多时间的。

    哥，我想去看剪彩仪式，你送我去，好吗？覃丹红问。

    刘河把目光投向张为梅，张为梅知道刘河的意思，点头说，去吧，阿河，送你妹妹去看吧。

    好的。刘河说，走，我们去看剪彩仪式。

    刘河推出摩托车，跨了上去，回头对覃丹红说，上车吧，妹妹？这次让我来开。

    覃丹红跨上了摩托车，轻轻抱住了刘河的腰部。

    覃丹红觉得这是她很多年以来没有过的温馨的享受了。

    摩托车在乡间公路上飞驰，阳光明媚，一棵棵树兴奋地往后闪去，两边的稻田，水稻禾苗长势良好，一片青绿，生机盎然。

    摩托车很快就来到了乡政府文化站的广场。
