With money, everything is easy to do, Zhou Jiguo ran around without touching the ground after coming back, and in the evening, finally all the preparations were ready, just waiting for the funeral early tomorrow morning.

This night, Zhou Jiguo talked to his father in the hall all night, from the previous life to this life, he had never mentioned things to others, he leaned on the coffin in tears and whispered to his father.

The father-son relationship between two lifetimes is not so easy to forget.

At four o'clock the next morning, it was still dark outside, and people came to the house one after another to help. It wasn't until five o'clock that the eldest son Zhou Jifu, whose eyes were red, wore linen and filial piety, and walked in front with a sail. Step by step, Zhou Yaosen, the backbone of the Zhou family, was sent to the mountain.

At noon, two tables of banquets were set up in Zhou's courtyard to thank the parents and villagers who came to see Zhou Yaosen on his last journey.

It wasn't until the evening that everything about the funeral was done. The Zhou family sat together to report the accounts and discuss the future.

"That's all, a total of six yuan and two cents and seven cents were spent from me, and you can order the rest of the money for this matter. Zhou Yaomu took out a small roll of money from his pocket and put it on the table, and then pushed it in front of Zhou Jiguo.

Zhou Jiguo didn't have a point, so he directly reached out and picked up the money and put it in his pocket, "What did the third uncle say, you are my father's own brother, my own uncle, if you still can't believe it, who else can I believe." ”

Zhou Yaomu had been holding back his anger for the sake of his eldest brother for the past two days, but now that he heard his eldest nephew say this, the tone in his heart finally calmed down.

Zhou Yaolin looked at the third brother like this, and quickly took out a few gross tickets from his pocket, all of which were divided into cents, and then stumbled and began to pay the account, his brain is not a good thing, and most of the family affairs are in charge of his daughter-in-law, so he really has no experience in spending money and settling accounts. Speaking of which, after calculating it, this account is a little wrong, and he himself is sweating in a hurry.

"Second uncle, don't forget it, it's definitely not bad, you and the third uncle have been busy for so long, nephew, I thank you in my heart, it's all a family, it's too foreign to say anything else, come, I'll give the second uncle and the third uncle a glass." Zhou Jiguo saw that the second uncle wanted to count it again, so he quickly raised his wine glass and interrupted.

When he took out the money to let the second and third uncles help with it, he didn't think about how much he could have left, they could settle accounts with him in person, and he was very ironed in his heart, and he didn't care if there was more or less.

"Yes, yes, they are all relatives, there is no need to be so angry. Zhou Juhua hurriedly followed the round, and her face was a little ugly when her man couldn't understand the account just now. Although she loves to take advantage of it, she is not so desperate that she is even greedy for her eldest brother's funeral money, but her man's stumbling and indescribable appearance seems to confirm that she has done something in it. It's no wonder that her face looks good. Fortunately, Dabao is still reasonable, and the words she just said made her look a lot better.

After paying the account, these people at the table, you look at me, I look at yours, or Zhou Laosan saw that his second brother was really not a problem, so he reluctantly asked: "Dabao, your father is not sudden, have you thought about what to do in the future? After all, your younger brothers are not yet adults." ”

This is the question of who will support the family in the future.

Zhou Jiguo did not evade this problem, he thought a lot about it on the train when he came, whether he was happy or not, it was his eldest son's responsibility to provide for the elderly.

"Third uncle, my father is just a few of our brothers, I am the boss, and I must not leave a few younger brothers behind. He opened his mouth and gave such assurances.

Zhou Yaomu nodded with satisfaction, being the boss should be like this, and it is his responsibility to take care of his younger siblings.

"That's what I think, our family is going to become a commune, I heard that in the future, the land will be owned by the state, and we ordinary people are only responsible for working every day, as long as we are not lazy, the state will distribute food at the end of the year. ”

This time everyone nodded, that's what the village told them.

"In this case, it is also a good thing for our family, after all, my father is suddenly gone, and the family may not be able to plant a few of them even if they have land, so the state is in charge, as long as they work hard, they can't starve to death." Zhou Jiguo continued.

"Big brother, Xiaobao and I still have to go to school!" Zhou Jiqiang, who was listening, couldn't help but fight for himself, he didn't want to farm at home, he wanted to go to school, and he also wanted to go to the city to be a worker like the eldest brother and the second brother in the future.

"Don't take me with you, I don't go to school, I'd rather farm at home, third brother, isn't it?" Zhou Jisheng immediately demolished the stage for him, he, like the third brother, wanted to sleep when he saw a book, if his father hadn't forced him, he would have gone home earlier.

Now that no one cares about him, he doesn't want to go to school anymore.

"Well, I don't go to school. Zhou Jimin said, but he didn't want to go to school, let alone farm.

Zhou Jiqiang didn't expect the two of them to drag their feet so much, and looked at the eldest brother and the two uncles a little anxiously, what if the eldest brother listened to the words of the third brother and the younger brother and asked him not to go to school, he didn't want to farm in his hometown for the rest of his life.

Zhou Jiguo looked at the younger brothers next to him who had grown a head taller, and he felt a little indescribable in his heart.

"Then don't go, farming at home is just the right thing for your mother to save money. Zhou Yaolin thinks it's good not to go to school. It's just an ordinary old farmer, and the eldest brother still has those unrealistic dreams all day long, and he has wanted to say it for a long time.

"Big brother, I want to go to school. Zhou Jiqiang was really afraid that his fate would be decided in such a vague way, so he hurriedly looked at his eldest brother and shouted in fear.

This is the sorrow of a child without a father, just a few days of hard work, you have to live by looking at people's faces. Zhou Jiqiang is sad about the life he is going to experience.

Zhou Jiguo looked at him and lowered his eyelids.

When Zhou Jiqiang saw his appearance, his face suddenly turned pale, and he felt that his life was hopeless.

"Then let's do it, Sibao wants to go to school, then I'll provide it, the two of them don't want to go to school and go home to work, plus my mother, the work of three people should be enough for the four of them to eat, and I will ...... every year in the future"

Before he finished speaking, the faces of the two people changed, one was Zhou Jiqiang, but he didn't expect the peak to turn around, and his face was immediately full of smiles. In one is Li Rucui, when she heard the boss say that she should work to feed a few small ones, she immediately raised her eyebrows.

"What bastard words you say, you say that raising children to prevent old age, raising children to prevent old age, the old lady gave birth to you and raised you, and in the end you assigned me a job. I'm telling you, I'm not dead yet. Li Rucui almost jumped up and scolded.

Zhou Jiguo raised his eyelids, knowing that this farce would always come, so he was not surprised, so he asked in a good voice: "Then what do you say?"

"I said, I said that now that your father is gone, there is no need for these people in our family to get together. ”

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Zhou Yaomu frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

"I mean the separation, I don't live with the boss. Li Rucui threw such a big bomb.
