Liu Erliang was busy all morning, and his waist was almost straight.

However, looking at the waves of guests, I still couldn't stop.

The fumes from the kitchen left his face dirty, and even the new clothes he had just changed into in the morning became dirty.

Originally, when I got up early in the morning, I deliberately changed into this new clothes, just thinking that I was used to being down, and when my relatives visited today, I had to change into new clothes, so as not to lose face.

But who knows, at the end of this day, he has never left the kitchen at all, let alone walking around in front of the guests.

However, among the guests who came today, they were basically the fox friends of the eldest brother Liu Daliang.

Although Er Liang is honest, his brain is not stupid, so he was very unhappy when he watched his eldest brother take these indiscriminate people home one after another.

The family is not wealthy, not to mention supporting two old people and the eldest brother and his wife, it is not easy to support three children.

Instead of spending money on meat and wine for these indiscriminate people to eat and drink, it is better to save this money to buy some new clothes, shoes and socks for the three dolls.

Although Er Liang thought so in his heart, he had no status in this family, so he didn't dare to confide these words in his heart at will, so he could only sulk in his heart.

Looking at Zihui who was helping to wash vegetables in the patio, and Zixuan and Zijun who were sitting on the steps at the kitchen door playing, and then looking at the drunkards who were gathering in the hall to talk and talk, Erliang exhaled silently, turned around and continued to stir-fry.

"Hurry up, Erliang, your eldest brother has lost his temper, saying that you can't cook for so long. The second grandmother hurriedly walked into the kitchen, picked up the dishes and chopsticks that had just been cleaned for a long time, and hurriedly walked out.

Their living room is directly opposite the kitchen door, with a patio in between. Although it is a new cement building, it was built early, so the habit of leaving a patio is still preserved.

Liu Erliang's gaze passed through the smoke, through the kitchen door, and looked at a group of men sitting in the hall and laughing.

These men are either slackers from the village or slackers from other villages.

After all, they are all lazy people, so they can get together in one place. In this way, Liu Daliang is also a lazy man.

Er Liang shook his head, very helpless in his heart.

Although he was well aware of the situation, he was helpless.

Who made him incapable? Who made him unable to marry a wife and have children?

Just like his father said, he has to please some big brothers, so that maybe he will have someone to rely on when he gets old in the future, otherwise, in a few decades, when he is old, I am afraid that he can only be like the old hunter in the village now, alone and lonely.

Actually, the old Orion is not bitter.

At least compared to Liu Erliang, who lives a nest, it is not bitter.

Moreover, this festival is really not bitter.

Early in the morning, Xiao Fang brought him half of the chicken and vegetables, as well as freshly made sticky rice balls.

Xiaofang said that she didn't plan to make sticky rice balls, but there was no winter solstice with sticky rice balls, and it didn't seem like the winter solstice, so she did it again. However, not much has been done, so there is not much for the old hunters.

However, in Old Man Tan's opinion, these more than ten sticky rice balls are already a lot, after all, he is alone, and his sister and nephews who married him know that he is poor and will not come back for the winter solstice. Therefore, these things are enough for him to eat for two days.

The old hunter sat at the door, basking in the warm sun, and his heart was also warm.

The afternoon sun began to warm up until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when it slowly softened again.

At this time, several of Liu Qingshan's cousins had already gone to his family's orchard with enthusiasm and came back with a lot of oranges.

Most of the oranges were picked and sold by my father, and all that was left was some achenes.

They are either crooked melons and cracked dates, or they are small loli that don't grow big.

However, a few cousins didn't care, and after following Liu Qingshan to the fruit forest, they began to pick wildly.

After picking for an hour, I picked twenty or thirty pounds by myself, so I was so unhappy.

Yes, in an hour, they picked twenty or thirty catties, and they were all happy to bloom, and many of them were picked by Liu Qingshan.

When they returned to the yard, several people couldn't help but show off, saying that they had picked the most.

The eldest uncle and second uncle were very happy when they saw that their sons had gained well.

After a drunken break, the uncle returned to his true colors, and disliked the son of the second family: "Look at the two of you, how many people have picked such a few oranges, so that you usually go to work in the fields more, you don't go, now you really have to work, you are like a girl." ”

When the second uncle heard this, he was not happy, and he must have to protect his shortcomings: "My son doesn't have to work hard at work, you think it's like your second brother." ”

"What's wrong with working as a coolie? The uncle argued, "Look at us, we have been working hard all our lives, and now we are all sixty or seventy years old, and our health is still so good, so it can be seen that working as coolies can not only exercise the body, but also prolong life." ”

"Hehe, blow you. The second uncle disagreed, "That's what you think about it." ”

"What do you call me a miserable ghost, as if you are not bitter, you are not bitter, why do you still have to build houses for others at this age? ”

The two old brothers didn't fight, and when they think about it carefully, they are really the same.

Originally, the two brothers were the most doted on by their parents, and the third sister Wu Cuimei was the least treated by their parents. Therefore, when they were young, the life of the two brothers was very nourishing, and they basically did not have to do any work.

At that time, the two brothers were responsible for playing, and the third sister was responsible for being a cow and a horse, so the third sister also fell ill.

However, when they became adults, their parents grew old, their third sister married far away, and the two brothers also became their own families, and they had to take on their own family responsibilities, they found that life was so difficult and difficult.

So, in order to support a family, they had to work so hard that now they are sixty or seventy years old, and they have to work for others.

It is probably because when I was young that I enjoyed all the blessings and comforts that I should enjoy in this life, so when I reached old age, I still couldn't leave behind the tools to make money.

On the other hand, the third sister, although she suffered a lot when she was a child, she has never worked as a coolie since she married Liu Yuanhe. In comparison, she is bitter first and then sweet.

Uncle and the others are leaving.

Although Liu Qingshan sometimes hates his uncle's stinky mouth, blood is thicker than water, so when his uncle and others were leaving, he still gave a gift - charcoal.

"Charcoal?" Uncle's eyes lit up, "Aoyama, the charcoal you burned yourself?"

"yes. Liu Qingshan took his eldest uncle and second uncle to the utility room, pointed to the more than ten bags of charcoal piled up in the corner and said, "That's all, you can pull a bag back by yourself." ”

One pack per person?

The uncle rolled his eyes and said, "In that case, wouldn't I have to pull four packs?"

Liu Qingshan: ??????

"Look, Aoyama, your eldest cousin has a pack, your second cousin has a pack, and your third cousin has a pack......"

, this algorithm? According to this algorithm, why don't I send all the charcoal out today?

How is this possible? How could I allow this to happen?

"Stop, stop, stop. Liu Qingshan interrupted his uncle's words, "Uncle, don't think nonsense, what I'm talking about is that you have a pack, my second uncle has a pack, cousin They can also have charcoal if they want, and the current market price of charcoal is three yuan a catty, so it will be calculated according to the market price." ”

"Look at you, you're so stingy, no wonder you can't marry a daughter-in-law. Uncle's problem came up again, "You said that you, you want a car without a car, you want a house without a house, and you are so stingy, which girl is willing to be good with you." ”

"Gotta get it. Liu Qingshan pulled his uncle away and stopped him from carrying charcoal, "In that case, uncle, then don't ask for a pack, I'll be stingy to the end." ”

"You person, you can't stand it. The uncle pulled away Liu Qingshan, who was blocking in front of him, with his backhand, and said, "I said you, but I don't want you to change and become better." ”

"Hehe, don't be greedy. The second uncle said, "It's not easy to burn some charcoal in Qingshan, it's very good to give a pack, look at your son, what did you give to their aunt? Speaking of stinginess, your son is really stingy." ”

"Hey, as if your son is generous. ”

"My son is not very generous, so I didn't ask Aoyama for anything. Look at it, your own son is really stingy, and you also say that Qingshan is stingy, I really don't know how you have eaten for decades. ”

"Qingshan is my nephew, I said what's wrong with him? I'm his uncle, what's wrong with asking him to give me two more bags of charcoal? Besides, don't I just make a joke, as for you holding on to it like this? ”

The two brothers fought again.

This has been the case for decades. The two fought from childhood to old age, and no one let them.

If you marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, then I will marry an even more beautiful one.

If you're the captain of a broken lion dance team, I'll form a construction team myself.

You have given birth to three sons, and you wait, and I will give birth to them.

Do you build a house? Heh, it seems that no one can afford to build it.

However, the two brothers are fighting, but there should be affection or no less. If a brother quarrels with someone in the village over the water in the field or the land on the side of the road, the first person to come to help is always his own brother.
