Chapter 128: The Dispute Between Mother and Son
'Crushing' the enemy army, Cheng Peng was in a good mood and hummed a little song all day long. Because of his great help, my sister bullied him less than in the past, and called my brother more often than Cheng Peng.
When his parents returned from the field, Cheng Peng told them about it, and the two of them were relieved.
"I'll just say, our daughter won't bully others for no reason. Cheng Laosi sat on the threshold of the hall and smoked his cigarette. Behind him, his son pointed to his nose, looking aggrieved, and silently condemned him for speaking without conscience.
Cheng Yan doesn't bully people, it's like the sun coming out of the west.
Wu Meifeng said: "Okay, let's kill a chicken again today and celebrate." You two have a drink, and you go to bad luck. ”
The sumptuous dinner came, during which Cheng Peng took advantage of his mother's time to go out to wash the vegetables, took out a spirit bead and threw it into the pot, and the food was fragrant.
At the dinner table, a family of four took out the big flower cat, the big yellow dog and Cheng Dazhuang under the table, and the whole family ate and drank happily.
After three rounds of drinking, his ears and eyes were hot, Cheng Peng took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and divided it into three parts. A copy of 400 yuan was handed to the old lady Wu Meifeng.
"Mom, you've worked hard all these years, and my son can finally make money and honor you. You can take the money and buy whatever you want. Cheng Peng snorted wine.
Wu Meifeng knew that it was not easy for her son to make money, so how could she accept it? She pushed her son's hand away several times, but she couldn't twist Cheng Peng, and finally had to pick up the money.
"It's okay, you're almost 20, and it's time to marry a daughter-in-law. This money is saved for you by your mother, and you will use it to marry your daughter-in-law in the future. Wu Meifeng said.
Cheng Peng said with a smile: "No, it's very early to marry a daughter-in-law, and you and I won't be short of money in the future." ”
Wu Meifeng's brows were tightly locked, feeling that her son had changed, and his tail was about to go up to the sky invisibly! This is not good, the peasant woman secretly said in her heart, the family foundation is thin, and the ancestors have been facing the loess with their backs to the sky for generations, and only by being down-to-earth can they live a good life. She thought that in the future, she would have to beat her son more so that he would not go the wrong way.
Cheng Peng didn't know what his mother was thinking, so he turned his head and handed the other four hundred to his father, Cheng Laosi.
"Dad, you have been in poor health all these years, and you have to work hard to support your family, and it is also hard. I grew up and went out to work to find out how tired you were. People say that money is hard to make and is hard to eat, and this is really true. For so many years, in order to save money, you have smoked tobacco leaves, which are big and choking. Don't smoke in the future, use it to buy cigarettes, buy seven yuan, ten yuan. ”
Cheng Laosi's eyes were hot, he glanced at his son embarrassedly, and said politely: "Your mother is right, you should marry a daughter-in-law, you can keep this money ......"
"Take it!" Cheng Peng forcefully stuffed the money into the hands of the fourth child, and squeezed his eyes at the father, you know the two fathers and sons.
Cheng Laosi happily put the money in his pocket, but was snatched away by his wife: "Are you embarrassed? The money that my son got from selling blood and sweat can't be kept to marry his daughter-in-law in the future?"
Cheng Laosi's eyes followed the red tickets until they disappeared into his daughter-in-law's pocket. Hey, I'm really reluctant, as a man, he also wants to smoke cigarettes and brag and fart with other old men at the entrance of the village. But the rules of this family have always been, wife first.
He smiled helplessly, wryly, and lowered his head to continue eating. Suddenly, his son's hand touched him lightly under the table, and when he looked up, his son handed him another meaningful smile.
Cheng Peng pinched the last two hundred yuan, and patted it directly in front of his sister: "Now, say that my brother is the most handsome in the world, and the money will belong to you!"
Cheng Yan was reading a book while eating, and there was a sudden bang, which startled her. Even Cheng Dazhuang under the table jumped up in fright and snorted twice, thinking that it was thundering and raining.
Looking at the two hundred yuan on the table, as well as the big furry hand pressed on the two hundred yuan, Cheng Yan rolled her eyelids and glanced at her brother: "Cut, no sincerity!"
"Say, say that the money is yours!" Cheng Peng smiled and teased his sister.
Cheng Yan rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll let you go back." Listen, my brother Cheng Peng is the most handsome in the world~"
Cheng Peng let go of his hand happily: "Good behave." ”
Cheng Yan quickly grabbed two hundred yuan and picked it up, and then stuck out his tongue and grimaced at him: "I haven't finished talking yet, it's strange that he is the most handsome in the world!"
Cheng Peng was not angry, he just looked at the round face of the little girl, and felt happy in his heart.
My sister is capable and smart, much stronger than when he was a child. It's just that they grew up poor, and they have no pocket money. Especially at school, when they see other students running to the commissary after class, they can only stare dryly.
Cheng Peng made up his mind that he had spent such a childhood and adolescence, but he must not let his sister do the same. Two hundred dollars, that's just the beginning.
Wu Meifeng reproached him: "Your sister is so young, what are you doing with so much money?
"Hey, food delivery, wrestling, washing dishes, everything. Cheng Peng walked by, "If you make money outside, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, it is not a problem." ”
"It's good that you know, but why don't I think what you say is unreliable? We rural people, farming is our duty, but we have to learn another skill. You go back and buy some fruit, go to Zhang Hu, and continue to learn from him. Wu Meifeng said.
Cheng Peng sneered: "With him, aren't you afraid that I will go to prison with him?"
"How can you speak? Anyway, he is also your master!" Wu Meifeng slapped her son lightly, she was reluctant to really hit the child.
Cheng Peng said with a smile: "Mom and Dad, when it comes to my future livelihood, I already have a plan in my heart. It's time to discuss it with you formally today...... "His little eyes are shy, and he secretly observes the expressions of his parents, especially his mother's.
"What do you want to do?" Cheng Laosi took a sip of wine. Ask casually.
"I want to start a business and start a sauce workshop. Cheng Peng plucked up his courage and said to his parents.
"What??" Cheng Laosi stared at his son with wide eyes.
Wu Meifeng also put down her chopsticks: "What, what?"
"The sauce method is to make soy sauce or something. Cheng Peng deliberately said it lightly, but he already felt the pressure of the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.
Cheng Laosi was silent, but Wu Meifeng slapped the table: "No!" The attitude was quite resolute.
Cheng Peng patiently asked, "Why?"
"You are young, you have only been in the society for a few days, what kind of business do you create? Besides, you can set up a stall and sell vegetables when you start a business, what kind of workshop do you have? Our ancestors have been farming and working for generations, how can anyone have made any sauce?" Wu Meifeng said angrily, "If you do this, you are simply using money to play in the water! I don't agree, you are not allowed to go!"
"How do you know that I can't do it?" Cheng Peng finally couldn't bear it, and craned his neck and said, "I've grown up, and I'm in charge of my own affairs!"
"Oh!" Wu Meifeng was startled by her son's words, and her heart was also hurt, and for the first time she felt that her son was beyond her control, "Okay, you have grown up and your wings are hard." But I'm telling you, don't think you're making some money and you're going to be terrible. There are jackals, tigers and leopards outside, everything. I'll leave my words behind today, if you dare to open a sauce workshop, you will never enter this house!"
"I!" Cheng Peng stood up, his eyes blazing like sparks, and confronted his mother.
The tense atmosphere quickly spread in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, and the dogs, cats, and Cheng Dazhuang were all trembling with fear. Cheng Laosi and Cheng Yan were also shocked and scared, and did not dare to participate in their war.
"Mom, I don't want to make you angry, but I have to create this karma. You don't have to worry about it, I have my own reasons. And don't worry, I won't come back if I don't succeed!"
After speaking, Cheng Peng left the table and returned to his room to pack his things. Cheng Dazhuang was in a hurry and hurried to catch up.
More than ten minutes later, Cheng Peng carried a backpack and a dog cage, followed by Cheng Dazhuang, and walked to the door of the hall: "I'll leave today, you all take care." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, Wu Meifeng didn't stop him, but was so angry that he wept. Cheng Laosi chased him out, but how could he have the fast pace of his son? Cheng Yan caught up with his brother in a slip of smoke, and shouted desperately: "Brother, Cheng Peng, you stop for me~"
