"I don't know, if you see her tomorrow, you can ask her hard, and you will say that she has not been with her father all these years, and we have taken care of her father, maybe she will give it to us. ”

"But I heard that some people, the richer they are, the more they are picky, I don't know if Jiang Xi will become such a person. ”

"The child didn't pick at all when he was a child, I still remember that everyone was poor at that time, and bought ten soda candy for a dime, you children all secretly ate alone, and took advantage of others after eating, Jiang Xi was different, she took out ten soda candy and distributed it to everyone, none of the children present were left behind, and the centenarian in the village said that this child would be able to produce in the future, and he was born like a rich man, but he didn't expect that he was really said by the old man, Jiang Xi's child is big-hearted, isn't there a saying that how big the heart is, how much can he do, how broad his life can he achieveShe pretended from her heart that she was not our one-third of an acre of land, which is different from those of you who only see a little bit of small profit in your eyes. ”

"Mom, don't talk about me, how can we have Jiang Xi's life!"

"Ahem! I sometimes think that maybe this God is fair, he actually gives everyone a chance to succeed, but not everyone can seize and see the opportunity, it has something to do with people's character. ”

While chatting, the two walked from the courtyard to the door.

"Mom, the door is unlocked, who has the key here except Uncle and us?"

As they spoke, the door had been pushed open, and our family of three saw an old woman in her sixties and a middle-aged man in his forties walk in.

The old woman's eyes turned red when she saw Jiang Xi, "Jiang Xi, oops, you dead girl, you haven't come back after so many years, you are so ruthless! I miss you all about your three mothers, let alone your father!"

Jiang Xi didn't answer, but just reached out and held the old woman's hand and said, "Thank you for not forgetting me, and thank you for taking care of my dad for so many years, this house, I don't want it, go back and ask the brigade secretary to write a transfer letter, I will sign it for you, and it will belong to you after signing." ”

The middle-aged man standing next to him smiled and said, "Jiang Xi, I'm your cousin, do you remember me?"

Jiang Xi looked at the middle-aged man and responded with a smile, "Of course I remember, my cousin must have worked hard to take care of my dad all these years." ”

"Alas, what's the hard work, it's that sometimes I accompany my uncle to drink a little wine and play cards, and in the last year and a half, don't you send him money every month? When he is lonely, he always invites me to drink, and I take advantage of it......

These words added a touch of sourness to the originally harmonious atmosphere.

The cousin immediately changed his tone and smiled and said, "Hehe, actually, I'm a little embarrassed to ask for this house, you can also take it back, this broken house can't be wanted, but the homestead is still worth some money, you can also sell it to us, and we will build a house on this homestead." ”

Jiang Xi said calmly, "I really don't need it, you guys are good, live a good life, and I'll be happy." ”

As soon as he heard this, his cousin was even happier, "Oh, you are still as generous as when you were a child, you never fancy these petty profits, you will definitely get richer and richer!"

"Thank you, cousin!"

Jiang Xi's "thank you", the voice was a little choked, and a little heavy, as if it was an auspicious word to thank him, and it seemed to also include her father's final stage, it was this cousin who accompanied him to drink wine and play cards, which seemed to have done some filial piety for her.

I think for this father, Jiang Xi's heart must be contradictory.

We live in this world, sometimes we will encounter a lot of contradictions that we don't know how to solve, or can't solve at all, then, people are gone, people who are alive, let go of everything!

Jiang Xi's three mothers asked Jiang Xi a lot of questions, teased Jiang Dongxi, and said something to me, and when we were chatting, Jiang Xi's mobile phone rang.

"Hey!"

Jiang Xi pressed the speakerphone, and I saw that it was my cousin's name.

My cousin's heavy voice came from there, "Sissy, your father...... Gone!"

Jiang Xi, "......".

"Oh!" she was stunned for a long time before she answered!

I felt her body shake slightly, and I quickly hugged her and let her lean against me.

She said into her phone, "Cousin, what should I do next?"

My cousin said, "You talk to your three mothers, I mean the funeral is simple." ”

At this time, the three mothers standing on the side rushed to say, "I'm here, I'll just discuss it with Jiang Xi, you don't have to worry, you just take care of the affairs at the hospital." ”

"Okay!" my cousin hung up the phone.

She asked Jiang Xi, "We all like to hire blowers, which are the ...... who play, sing, and cry at the funeral."

"We won't do those things, we didn't have filial piety when we were alive, and how to pomp and circumstance after death is fake, use the simplest way, let's be buried!"

"Okay! We'll listen to you......! Do you want a funeral?"

Jiang Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's make a small funeral for your own family, and other people's funerals...... I won't take it!"

"Okay! Then I'll let the three of you and your cousin go to prepare, you don't have to worry about anything, you can't live in this house, it's too dirty, go to our house today, our family's newly built three-story small building, there is a vacant room for you to live!"

"Okay! Thank you, three mothers!"

In this way, our family of three followed the three mothers and cousins out of the house, and we didn't take anything from the house except for the photo album that Jiang Dongxi had been holding in his arms.

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the three mothers' houses.

On the way, the three mothers said to Jiang Xi, " Our house was built last year, a total of 400,000 yuan was spent, originally we worked hard to save 200,000 yuan, I said to build a maximum of two floors, can be built very spacious, not so much economic pressure, as a result of your three and your cousin and your sister-in-law do not agree, all want to be strong, say what the surrounding neighbors have built three floors, we build two floors, there is a feeling of being compared to others, life must also be pressed by others, believe in these superstitions, the result of borrowing, and scraped together 200,000 yuan, built these three floors, now living is generous and spacious, but owed a lot of debt, the whole family is tired and tired of desperate moneyThey are all doing odd jobs in the city, and when they can't find a job, they are so anxious that they can't get a cannon in their mouths, and their gums bleed, and when your cousin and his wife are under pressure and in a bad mood, they don't have the right words in their minds, so they fight, and last time your sister-in-law took a big bowl and cut off your cousin's head, and cut his head two inches long......".

The three mothers said while giving Jiang Xi a gesture.

"You stick your head over and show Jiang Xi!"

The cousin was quite obedient, and put his head in front of Jiang Xi's eyes, the hair of the three mothers Balabala cousin, and sure enough, we all saw a long scar on the back of his head.

The cousin looked quite honest, and said with a smile, "It's okay, although your sister-in-law is very spicy, but I didn't suffer a loss, I also threw her a big bowl at that time, cut her legs, and bleed more than me." ”

Me, "......".

He said it as if it were a natural thing, even like a joke.

I couldn't help but ask, "That sister-in-law didn't divorce you?"

I thought to myself, what kind of relationship must this be, the two of them don't divorce each other with a big bowl and chopping and playing.

The cousin suddenly laughed "hahaha" and said, "What kind of divorce, it's an old husband and wife, she is going to divorce me, who can want her to be a stinky old lady, and bring two expensive drag oil bottles with handles, rest assured, I and your sister-in-law, no matter how you fight, you can't get married, and now our family has built a three-story building, where can she marry a family with a three-story building after she divorces." ”

I couldn't help but say, "Your wife is so nice!"

If this is Jiang Xi, don't say that I will cut her with a bowl, that is, I will poke her with my finger, forget it, I am reluctant to poke it, this seems to be the same day, because the essence is two different things.

When we arrived at his three-story building, the first floor of the stairs was very high, and at the bottom of the steps was a sheep's nest, and the yard was built with a wall, and the sheep ran all over the yard.

We saw a woman in the yard carrying a pig food bucket to feed the pigs, passing by the pigsty, Jiang Dongxi stood there and looked at it with interest for a while, and said excitedly, "Wow, it's the first time I've seen such a big pig, Dad, look, it's really big, it's just so dirty, it smells!"

I smiled and touched Jiang Shi's head and asked, "Do you eat pork?"

Jiang Dongxi also smiled and said, "Hehe", "Xiang!"

I said, "Then don't dislike it!"

Jiang Dongxi pursed his lips and said, "I won't eat pork in the future." ”

As we walked towards the house, I pointed to the sheep and said, "Do you see the sheep?"

Jiang Dongxi was speechless, and held back a sentence for a long time, "No matter how dirty the sheep is, I will not give up eating mutton!"

"Poof!" Sure enough, mutton is the best of Jiangxi.

Therefore, man is a wonderful species, when he likes something very much, he can tolerate its shortcomings, and when he does not like a thing so much, he cannot tolerate the same degree of shortcomings.

The same is true for people!

Up the steps, we entered the house, first of all, a kitchen, a large pot stove on one side, beyond the kitchen is a large living room, the kind that is oversized, it feels like there are 100 square meters, and then the east room is two rooms for three and three mothers, the west two rooms are for the three major second sons, the second floor is for cousins and sisters-in-law plus two children to live, and the third floor is for guest rooms and sundries.

Supposedly, in fact, their house was built with two floors enough to live, but they had to build three floors......

Dinner, prepared by the three mothers and sisters-in-law, is naturally the purest Northeast cuisine.

Sauerkraut, pork stewed blood sausage, Chinese cabbage cocoon pupae, dry fried hairtail, fried peanuts, potatoes, beans, peppers, tomatoes, pork ribs stewed together, and some sausages bought from small shops, pig's head meat, as well as their own pickled salted shallots, salted chili peppers, salted mustard heads, a large table of dishes is particularly rich.

At the dinner table, the three are the head, then the cousin, and there is also a cousin, the master of the three people, a big glass, red star and two pot heads.

They began to try to persuade me to drink, I said I wouldn't, they didn't believe it, and tried all kinds of persuasion without mercy, and finally Jiang Xi said, "He will be allergic to drinking, and he may have to go to the hospital if it is serious." "Then they won't give up!

The meals are very delicious, many of the vegetables are grown in their own vegetable gardens, I have to say, those Northeast restaurants in the big city make dishes, compared with this table of dishes, the taste is really bad old nose.

I ate a meal quite happily, but the drinker was particularly ink, and when he was slightly drunk, he began to talk repeatedly, starting to eat at seven o'clock in the evening, and eating until eleven o'clock at night, this man has not finished drinking three or three cups of two pots, and has not eaten a mouthful of rice.

Our family of three couldn't stand it anymore, so Jiang Xi said, "Three, cousin, you eat slowly, let's go back to the room to rest first, it's time to sleep." ”

The three were a little confused and said, "You guys go and rest, you'll be busy tomorrow!"

The three mothers took us to the third floor of the guest room, a whole floor is our family of three lived, although the decoration is very simple, simple, but because of the large place, it is indeed quite heroic.

There are no showers here, so you can only wash with water from a basin.

After a brief wash in a basin one by one, the three of us went to bed...... No, it's on the kang.

The three of them slept on a big kang, the quilts were handmade of pure cotton, and the quilt was made of rice milk, which was clean, in fact, it was quite comfortable to cover the body, and it can also be seen from this that the three mothers are very clean people.

All this is new to Jiang Dongxi, so she seems very excited, rolling around on the kang, there are walls on both sides, she rolls from left to right, no matter how she rolls, she will not fall to the ground, she "hahaha" kicked her legs and laughed very happily, and said while laughing, "I like here, I like the big kang, I hope our family can also have this kind of big kang." ”

"Okay, go home and see if you can do it, and if anyone can do it, I'll make one for you!" I laughed and made her happy.

"Thank you Dad, Dad is the best, Dad is the best dad in the world!"

Jiang Dongxi jumped up happily and put his arms around my neck.

Jiang Xi sat on the side in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Just then, there was a knock on our door.

"Jiang Xi, are you sleeping?"

The big pants I was wearing were lying on the kang, and when I heard the sound, I quickly pulled the quilt and covered it.

Jiang Dongxi also honestly got into her mother's quilt and stayed, and she shared a quilt with her mother tonight.

When Jiang Xi saw that I had covered it, he said, "Come in, sister-in-law!"

That's right, just listen to the voice, you can be sure that it's a cousin.

The cousin-in-law was a woman in her early forties, with a chubby physique and dark skin, which is probably a trait of a perennial laborer.

The sister-in-law walked in with a smile and sat on the edge of the kang on Jiang Xi's side.

"Cousin, do you have anything wrong?" Jiang Xi asked with a calm face.

But I heard something off-string, which meant that if it was okay, we were going to sleep.

My cousin-in-law said with a smile, "It's nothing important, I heard my mother-in-law say that after your simple funeral tomorrow, you will take the train back to Hangzhou tomorrow night, so I want to talk to you for a while!"

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Okay!"

Then, the atmosphere was a bit cold.

Jiang Dongxi lay down and began to doze off, Jiang Xi reached out and patted her on the back, motioning for her to sleep.

"Hahaha, Jiang Xi, I heard that you used to live in Beijing for many years, right?

"Yes!" Jiang Xi was still expressionless, neither enthusiastic nor cold.

"Oh, you guys are so capable, I heard my cousin say, you wrote, brother-in-law is an engineer, you have several houses in Nanjing, right?"

My sister-in-law looked at Jiang Xi with exaggerated envy, and then looked at me again.

I didn't know what to say, so I could only play dumb and keep quiet.

Jiang Xi said, "No, there is only one set of my own residence, and the house in Nanjing is too expensive, not that you can buy it." ”

The sister-in-law said, "That's really expensive, I know, probably our three-story building can be replaced by a toilet in your house, hahahaha!"

After saying that, she laughed to herself, laughing so much that Jiang Shi, who was about to fall asleep, frowned.

She didn't seem to see our feelings, and said to herself, "Now the IT industry is amazing, I heard that those who are powerful can earn three or four hundred thousand yuan a year, unlike us, we rural people, hard work, the whole family can leave 100,000 yuan a year, it's quite good!"

At this time, I saw Jiang Xi also open his mouth and yawn.

"Oh, cousin-in-law, we're tired all day, we're really sleepy, if we want to chat, let's find a chance to talk tomorrow, do you think about it?"

After so many years with Jiang Xi, I can also see a little bit of eyes, I quickly covered the quilt, closed my eyes, and made it look like sleeping.

Jiang Xi also began to pour onto the kang.

The sister-in-law hurriedly said, "Oh, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to say it tomorrow, it's a little something, it's just ...... So what...... That ......".
