Li Yadong felt bitter in his heart, as the so-called eldest brother is like a father, his father died early, he didn't even have much impression, and the eldest brother occupied a very important position in his heart. On the way back, his eldest brother didn't say a word to him, and he tried to open his mouth several times, but he never got his wish.

After returning to the village, Li Yadong found that today's "surprise" was far more than that, his second sister Li Chunlan and second brother-in-law Zhao Dacheng didn't know when they would also come back.

Li Yamin didn't seem to know either, and after seeing them subconsciously get up from the bench at the door, he said in a serious tone: "It's all back, that's right, there is a family meeting today." Dongmei, go and call your third brother too. ”

With that, he strode into the hall and sat down at the top of the square table without saying a word.

After Hu Xiuying glanced at the youngest son who followed with his head down, he sighed and sat down as well, in his lower position.

"What's the matter?" asked outside the house, Li Chunlan pulled her husband's cuffs.

"Who are I going to ask me if you ask me?" I didn't come with you?" Zhao Dacheng replied in a low voice, he had known that this kind of thing would happen, and he would definitely come back at another time.

He came here today mainly to thank his brother-in-law, although his mother-in-law had warned him not to make a noise, but his brother-in-law helped so much, he can't come out now but take a picture, it's really unreasonable.

It didn't take much effort, Li Dongmei led Li Yajun and Liu Jinju to arrive, Li Yamin glanced out in the hall, and said expressionlessly: "Come in." ”

Everyone found their own places to sit down, young and old in an orderly manner, Zhao Dacheng and Liu Jinju, two people with foreign surnames, could only move a bench and sit on the edge of the threshold.

"I just came back from a business trip yesterday, I heard that Xiaodong was admitted to university, so happy that I didn't sleep all night, I took the car back to my hometown early this morning, and I heard my mother say that he was not at home during the day recently, and read at the house of a classmate in the town, I felt a little strange, and then ran to the town to look for it, and sure enough, it ......"

When Li Yamin said this, the anger on his face became thicker and thicker, "Do you know what he is doing? Where is he reading at a classmate's house, but selling roast duck on the street! What is the difference between that greasy and energetic one and a butcher who kills pigs?"

"This ...... Boss, are you telling the truth?" Hu Xiuying's eyes widened in surprise, looking incredulous. When she saw her eldest son bring her younger son back, she knew that the younger son must not have done anything serious in the town, but she really didn't expect him to be a butcher.

"You ask him!" Li Yamin stretched out his hand and pointed, both nostrils bubbling out.

"Xiaodong?"

"Mother, what the eldest brother said is right, I did it, so I thought that I would be idle anyway, and make some money during the summer vacation. Li Yadong glanced up at his mother and said softly.

"Oh, you dead boy, how can you do that kind of pickled thing!" Hu Xiuying was very angry, pushed away the stool and walked over, stretched out his hand and slapped him twice on the chest, and scolded with red eyes: "You are a bad boy, you have learned to lie to people and don't say anything, why don't you have any ambition at all, which college student can do that kind of thing, you want to be angry with your mother......"

"Mother, don't be angry, I know it's wrong. Li Yadong was afraid that his mother would be angry, so he hurriedly hugged him and stretched out his hand to hold her back.

"Mother, okay, you sit ......down first" Li Yamin walked over and patted his little brother's hand away, helped his mother to sit down on the original stool, and continued: "Mother, don't worry, since this matter has been discovered, it is specified that he cannot be allowed to do it again, don't be too angry, beware of being angry." ”

Hu Xiuying's chest rose and fell for a long time before she waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.

"Xiaodong, make a statement yourself. ”

Li Yadong didn't think about it, looked at his eldest brother and replied categorically: "Don't do it, never do it again, just stay at home." ”

Even though he has thousands of arguments in his heart at the moment, a stomach full of grievances, and a stomach full of great truths, he doesn't want to say a word. The reason is simple, family is all he has. As long as they are all right, he is willing to give everything in this life.

But as soon as Li Yadong finished speaking, someone in the room immediately couldn't sit still, his mouth opened several times, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

Liu Jinju is really anxious, the ten yuan she handed over to her brother-in-law last time has just returned to the capital, and she is about to see the money back, and suddenly it comes out like this, what do you say this is called!

The hall is so big, Li Yamin sat at the top again, and the expressions of everyone in the room were in full view, he naturally noticed the anxious appearance of the second brother and daughter-in-law, and then looked at the faces of the younger brothers and sisters, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Why don't you speak, don't you all have an opinion on this matter?"

Hearing him ask this, Li Yajun and Li Dongmei's heads lowered unconsciously, and Li Chunlan frowned a little upset.

As the eldest brother, Li Yamin, the temperament of several younger brothers and sisters, was naturally very clear, and his eyes widened in surprise, "You all know?"

There was silence at the bottom.

"Smack!" Li Yamin was so angry that he pressed his two hands on the table to prop up his body, "Okay, you guys, dare to join forces to deceive me and my mother, right, I can't turn the world upside down!"

"Big Brother ......"

"Shut up!

Li Yadong's open mouth closed again, and he sighed silently in his heart, this is the end of the calf. He began to complain about why he couldn't keep his mouth shut, why didn't he hide something from the end?

"Xiaojun, come on!"

Li Yajun is not afraid of the earth, but he is also guilty of his eldest brother's fear. There's no way, his eldest brother can hardly find fault with him, he has paid more for this family than anyone else, and he has no reason to be disrespectful. It's a little old-fashioned, and I'm used to following the rules, and I can't accept things that are too out-of-the-box.

"This is the ...... I know. Li Yadong gritted his teeth and replied.

"Okay, I've got a long job!"

"Huh?" Li Yamin just wanted to be angry with him, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the little sister sitting next to him, her face was flushed, and her little head was getting lower and lower, and she was about to bury it in her neck, and a trace of surprise flashed on her face, "Dongmei, you don't know, do you?"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Although Li Dongmei did not speak, this cry was more telling than any words.

Li Yamin subconsciously looked at Hu Xiuying, and he could read the surprise from the other party's eyes.

"Spring ......"

"No need to ask, I know this very well!"

Li Chunlan frowned and stood up, she felt that the eldest brother was making a big fuss, isn't it just to do some business, what's the big deal, besides, Xiaodong is not doing it for a long time, when eating a big pot of rice in the past, the college students and educated youths are not the same as carrying hoes to save work? Even Marx said that "labor is the most glorious", what is the difference between poverty and lowness?

"Are you still reasonable?" Li Yamin looked at the eldest sister and suddenly became angry, if there was anyone in this family who dared to talk back to him, it would be this eldest sister who was three years younger than him.

"I don't know if it's reasonable, I just know that although Xiaodong is not very decent to do this, there is nothing wrong with it!" Li Chunlan said righteously, ignoring her husband's eyes.

"Big brother, you don't know the situation at home, now so many people are doing business, the deaf Chen in our village who collects mountain goods, has meat to eat at home, and he is more comfortable than anyone else, why can't our family do some small business?"

"What do you know, that's speculation!" Li Yamin glared at her angrily, "Don't look at the wind direction now, if you can't keep it, you will be caught in it!"

"Is it?" Li Chunlan said in disbelief, "Two years ago, someone in our village said this, and many people were still waiting to see him laugh, but now? The red brick buildings have been built, and even the village chief has gone over to give gifts when the wine is served." ”

Li Yamin frowned slightly, in fact, he was not sure whether doing business now was speculation, he was also a small worker in the cotton company who got a dead salary, where could he figure out these big truths?

"We can't control people, but our people just can't do it!"

"Don't do it, don't you wait to drink the northwest wind, wait for the pickles to be gnawed for a lifetime?" Li Chunlan also came to some anger, it was easy for someone to dare to be a daring person at home, seeing that the good days were not far away, why was he so unpopular?

"What's wrong with gnawing pickles Bangzi? Gnawing pickles Bangzi is better than going to prison!" Li Yamin also doesn't give an inch, in his eyes, even if those who do business eat big meat every day, he is not rare, he feels that kind of money is not steady, although he is living a bitter life now, but he can sleep peacefully at night.

"Hey, don't mention going to jail!" Li Chunlan pointed to her husband and said: "Dacheng has just been released from prison, don't you know how he got out? I lost a whole hundred yuan to others! At that time, I told the heavens and the earth to be ineffective, who can I go to? Find my mother? Find Xiaojun? Or find you? Who of you can get so much money? In the end, it was given by Xiaodong! Otherwise, Dacheng might have to suffer some kind of crime inside!"

"Xiaodong is also very pitiful, I'm afraid that you will say that you secretly sent me the money, and no one will mention it when it's over. ”

After Li Chunlan said this angrily, she also glanced at her little brother lovingly. In the past, when there was a conflict in the family, she at most had a few words with her eldest brother, and she never had to fight for victory or defeat as she did today.

"This ...... What's going on? Dacheng, tell me about it. Li Yamin was also stunned by her, so he didn't care about being angry, and hurriedly sounded, he couldn't imagine that such a big thing happened at home when he was on a business trip.

After learning what happened, he was silent, at least the eldest sister did not say a word, he did take out so much money, the consequences were obvious, if it weren't for Xiaodong, his eldest brother-in-law would definitely still be in prison now.

From this point of view, he seems to have vaguely understood a little truth, but he can't say what it is for a while.

"Okay, you're all right, you're right, okay? I'm wrong, I'm stubborn, I don't understand human feelings!" Li Yamin brushed his sleeves away angrily after leaving the next sentence.

The majesty of the eldest brother can make him unite the family, but having time is also a kind of bondage, and he cannot afford to lose face in front of his younger siblings.

"Eh, Boss......"

Hu Xiuying hurriedly chased out, but after a while, she sighed and walked back. Her eldest son was undoubtedly really angry this time, and left without looking back.

"Mother......

Li Yadong had mixed feelings in his heart, and wanted to go over to help his mother, but was rewarded with a chestnut by Hu Xiuying, "It's not you yet, what's the point of tossing around?"

"Yes, yes, mother, it's all my fault, I'm disobedient, I must ......"

"Xiaodong, you're right!"

Li Yadong really wanted to take a piece of tape to seal his second sister's mouth, he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and he hoped to let this matter pass quickly. She pours it well, sees the stitches, which pot is not opened, which pot is not opened.

"You dead girl, you're embarrassed to speak, look at what makes your eldest brother angry?"

"I didn't talk nonsense, he himself admitted that he was stubborn......" Li Chunlan argued weakly, and her voice was like a mosquito. She dared to quarrel with her eldest brother, but she did not dare to argue with her mother.

"Alas......" Hu Xiuying let out a long sigh, in fact, she didn't know what she thought in her heart.

The reason why the second son-in-law was released just now was the first time she had heard of it. She is a woman who doesn't know what Taoism is, and she usually does things to help her relatives and not help her, so when she thinks about it, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for her youngest son to make some money, at least if there is something at home that can still respond to emergencies, she can really avoid the crime of imprisonment, and what if she does some unseemly small business?

Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

She probably found that she could not give an opinion on this matter, and after sighing again, she walked back to her room.
