In the early years, the Guo family was the largest family in our area.

Later, with Aunt Guo having a cerebral thrombosis. Uncle Guo has cerebral palsy again. The old couple was paralyzed in bed. It costs a lot of money to take medicine to cure the disease.

More than half of the houses were sold. A lot of land has also been sold.

The current Guo family has become three houses in one house, the poorest family.

We walked into the main house of the Guo family.

What came to my nose was the stench of feces and urine.

I sniffed, then reached out to cover my mouth.

My mother saw me doing this. Hurriedly pulled my hand down.

Sanjin's sister-in-law looked at us and felt a little embarrassed.

Said wryly.

"It really makes you laugh. We've been sick in our house for decades, and it's a mess. ”

Mother hurriedly accompanied the smiling face.

"Oh, what are you talking about? Not everyone is like this.

When our old man was hospitalized, you didn't know. When it's time for dinner, he asks for a tuba.

At that time, I was also lying in bed and couldn't move. I quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks in my hand. Quickly wiped his mouth, helped him take off his pants, and then stuffed the toilet under him. ”

My father was told so by my mother. was immediately exposed. The face was red and white.

Muttering in his mouth.

"You old, you are talking nonsense about everything. Isn't this a joke for the two of them to listen to me?"

Sanjin's sister-in-law slapped her thigh.

"Oh, Uncle Wang, what are you talking about? This is not the case when someone is sick.

Don't talk about getting sick. Who didn't eat on the kang when they were young.

The same is true of our family's three golds now.

Someone else's home stroke. At most, they have crooked mouths and slanted eyes. Our family has three golds and this stroke. It's especially worse than others.

The legs and feet are gone, and the legs are the same as the big white radish. There is no sense.

That's why I'm waiting every day!

However, I have gotten used to it for so many years.

I treat him as my husband, and the old woman serves him like that. ”

Sister-in-law Sanjin said and invited us to sit down.

The place of the Guo family is not big. A small ondol. There was a large dining table on the floor. The dining table was full of all kinds of Chinese and Western medicines.

There was not even a wardrobe in the house. All kinds of clothes, quilts. It's stuffed into a cardboard box. And then they all piled up on the ground.

Mother and father sit by the kang. The door of the house of the three golden sisters-in-law. There is a low stool more than half a meter high.

I'm the youngest. Just be aggrieved. Sit on a low stool.

Sanjin's sister-in-law took the health care products given to her by her mother.

Look at this, touch that.

There was a smile all over his face.

"Auntie. You're going to have to be expensive to buy this stuff. ”

My mom smiled.

"Not much money!"

I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

My mom is really illiterate, and Big Wave gave these health products to my father. Deer antler slices, American ginseng. There is also a box of bird's nest porridge.

Although these are all Tohoku specialties. But these things are not simple knockoffs.

Those are all specially picked by Big Wave in the counter, and they are the most high-end and expensive goods.

These two big boxes are estimated to be worth 18,000.

My mom suddenly looked at me dumbfounded. Give me a hard look.

I knew it right away.

Then he took out the 500 yuan from his pocket.

"That, Sanjinsao! That's a little bit of my heart. You have to take it. ”

Sanjin's sister-in-law was even more embarrassed when she saw the money.

"How can this work? Your mother gave me all the money yesterday. I bought these things again today. You give me back the money. I can't ask for that.

Little brother Zehan, you get this money back. My sister-in-law resolutely couldn't ask for it. ”

My mom hurriedly stood up and played the round.

"That's a little bit of Zehan's heart. This kid told me all the time yesterday when he was young. Your family's three golds have taken him to play with him. At that time, the two of them went up the mountain together, and they made a fuss all day.

He also said that he especially remembered my sister-in-law Sanjin, who was very good to me when she was a child. I also said that I especially remember the candy poached egg you made.

When Zehan was in elementary school, he saw smoke coming from your chimney. I know you're cooking again! If you run away from our house with a way, you shouldn't go up to your house and eat a hot poached egg!"

Mother said so. I really suddenly remembered a lot of things from my childhood.

Although Brother Sanjin is the same age as me, he is 18 years older than me.

When the third sister-in-law passed through the door, I was only eight or nine years old. At that time, I was not sensible. sneaked under the dining table of someone's new house. Want to see the bride.

As a result, my mom found out that I had lost it. The neighbors of the entire alley all came out to me.

In the end, it was Brother Sanjin who found me in the new house!

When Sanjin's sister-in-law got married, she was still a big girl in her early 20s.

It's completely different from now.

I still remember seeing him as a child. I didn't call her sister-in-law, I only called her Sister Yue at first.

also happily said to Brother Sanjin. Said when I grew up. I also have to take a beautiful daughter-in-law like Sister Yue.

Sanjin's sister-in-law married into the Guo family. It's very virtuous.

On the first day of the wedding, I got off the stove and made the stewed sugar heart poached eggs in brown sugar water.

I came home with a bowl of poached eggs and ate them in front of my mother.

A bowl full of brown sugar water. The brown sugar is just right. It will not be sweet, and it will not be bland.

And inside the poached eggs. The shape is round. The egg whites are tender. When you bite into it, the yolk is still half-baked. You can be heart-wrenching.

I took a sip of sugar water and an egg, and my belly bulged.

At that time, my mother said.

The Guo family married this new daughter-in-law, and at first glance she was diligent and capable. Will live.

Mother's words are really good!

Brother Sanjin used to be a real person with a simple personality. There is a lot of strength.

Sanjin's sister-in-law is smarter than him, but she is also very filial, and treats the old woman more dearly than her own mother.

When the neighbors saw it, there was no one who did not praise it.

These two couples thought they were a model couple in our three houses.

It's just that as the saying goes, this good man suffers a lot, and the wicked man is happy. I don't know what the fate of these two people is!

The situation at home came out one after another.

Both of them are hard-working people. But the days are getting poorer and poorer.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Sanjin's sister-in-law.

The third sister-in-law took the 500 yuan, her hands trembling, and her eyes were full of tears.

My mom told her to take it again and again.

I'll also add.

"Sister-in-law, this is a little bit of my heart. Don't be too little. In the past, you and Brother Sanjin were so good to me. Now that's what I'm supposed to do. ”

Sanjin's sister-in-law put the money on the table and secretly wiped a handful of tears.

"Zehan, really! In my sister-in-law's impression, you were only a little bit old. Now in the blink of an eye, I have graduated from college. It's really promising!

The sister-in-law took the money. Auntie, Uncle Wang, you sit. Zehan, you sit, I'll cook for you.

At noon today, you have to eat at my house. ”

Mother nodded.

"Okay, we're here and we're not ready to go. Shu Yue, what are you going to do? I'll help you. ”

Mother said, turned around and went into the kitchen with Sanjin's sister-in-law.

The father sat on the edge of the kang and turned his head to look at Guo Sanjin on the kang.

Sanjin's sister-in-law only said to us yesterday. Brother Sanjin had a stroke and was lying in bed unable to move.

Seeing it today, Brother Sanjin's situation is much more serious than what my sister-in-law said.

Guo Sanjin lay on his side on the bed. The eye can only glance upwards to the left.

The mouth is also tilted to the left, still half-open, and it can't be closed at all.

He tied a child's bib around his neck, just to make it easier to catch his saliva.

Since we hit the door. Brother Sanjin was lying on the kang. The mouth has been whining. It seems that there is something to say. But I can't say it.

The legs are unconscious, crossed and stacked on top of each other, with a somewhat twisted shape.

Guo Sanjin is 18 years older than me. It's only 42 this year.

But looking at his full head of gray hair, he looked like an old man of sixty or seventy years old.

I couldn't help but gasp. In the years I have been in college, what has life done to Brother Sanjin?

How did he torture such a majestic rough man into what he is now.

Brother Sanjin's eyes were slanted, and he couldn't look ahead at all.

I walked to the edge of the pit. Wanted to say hello to him.

Brother Sanjin's saliva trickled down his cheeks, and his mouth was staggered, as if a mouthful of thick phlegm was blocked in his throat.
