The brother and sister were doing their homework in the hall after feeding the livestock at home, and when they saw that their mother was back, the brother and sister called her.

The mother immediately smiled and asked, "Have you fed the pigs, don't feed them first, and after lunch, the four bosses will come to see." ”

You Xiaoming smiled and said no, his mother said that it would be good, and then he was going to do the laundry, You Xiaoming was going to help, and his mother asked him to pick up the wooden barrel, and the dirty clothes of the two days filled two buckets.

The mother and son said as they walked, and when they came to the river, the weather was good, and someone was washing there, and the mother greeted them and called her son aunt.

They are all villagers in the village, they all know each other, You Xiaoming called with a smile, and the three aunts said with a smile: "It's still your baby who is amazing, go to the city to study." ”

My mother made a lot of water and said while washing: "It's all his own efforts, and the tuition is sent by his father and sister, otherwise it will be difficult." ”

The three aunts said yes, talking about their children, they all hope that they will have a better life in the future, earn enough money, and don't owe too much money for goods, there is pressure.

The three aunts asked You Xiaoming while washing, are the things in the city more expensive? You Xiaoming had no choice but to nod and say yes, and several adults lamented that the money is worthless now, and that a hundred yuan can't buy much of something, and that prices may rise in the future.

Sighing that the pressure on the next generation is so great, and now the national policy hopes that farmers will go to the city to work, and if they earn money, they can do it in the countryside or in the city.

But the peasants always have to work harder than the people in the city, and they are really not used to asking for money for everything in the city. A few adults were talking to each other.

After washing, everyone said hello and went back, You Xiaoming and his mother also went back, and the water in the river was a little green.

Someone contracted to keep fish in it, and a few ducks swam there in the river, splashing and quacking from time to time.

You Xiaoming walked in front with a wooden barrel containing clothes, and his mother followed behind, walking quickly towards home.

Along the way, my mother and son told them about their relatives at home, all of them were in other places, relatively far away, in Jianyang City, they rarely moved, and there was only one uncle, and my mother married from there.

The family is very poor, relatives rarely move around, only grandparents died, mother and father went back, the three sisters and brothers did not go, afraid of uncle said.

My uncle only has one son, and he opposes his sister marrying such a poor person, and he is also overborn, so his mother hardly goes back.

Wait until the conditions are good later, and then go. The conditions of my uncle's family are average, so it is impossible to lend money to Xiao Ming to study. Let's take one step at a time.

Back at her home, my mother quickly took out the hanger, hung up the clothes, and dried them on the bamboo poles in the yard.

Looking at the clean clothes that smelled of laundry detergent, the mother breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked her son to take the bucket back, and go and take out the dried vegetables that had not been dried and continue to dry, while it was a little sunny.

Open the bamboo lid and take it out, put it in with the lid, take out two benches and put them away, and put the bamboo lid away.

After the sun, I looked at the time, I could almost cook, eat early, and when the bosses came, the mother asked my son to go to the kitchen to cook.

You Xiaoming hurriedly said okay, his sister was still doing her homework, and the two mothers and sons began to wash pots and add firewood to cook.

My mother washed the rice with water, put it in the pot and added water, and then washed the vegetables, and asked while washing: "Xiao Ming, if your tuition fee is not enough, are you going to borrow money?" or take out a loan?"

You Xiaoming added firewood in his hand and said: "I hope it's enough, if it's not enough, I can only take out a loan, and I will pay it back myself in the future, and borrow it from those brothers, I'm really embarrassed to speak, after all, they also want money from their parents." ”

Mom sighed and said, "Alas, yes, it's good if it's enough, and that's right, if your sister wasn't at home, I would go out to work with my father and them."

It's all because we gave birth to your sister. In the future, when you get married, don't have more children, you can't afford to raise them, in fact, we also regret it, listen to your uncle at that time, just give birth to your two sisters and brothers. ”

You Xiaoming immediately nodded and said okay, the mother and son talked while cooking, and when the meal was ready, they called the third sister to eat, and the third sister quickly picked up her homework and went back to the house.

The mother and son brought the meal to the table, the family sat down to eat, and the third sister said while eating: "There is a lot of homework, and I haven't finished it yet." ”

Mom had to tell her to write after eating, You Xiaoming also said so, show me after writing, the third sister immediately said okay, the school teacher has a make-up class, but in order to help her mother do housework, she didn't go, and she had to pay some make-up fees.

My mother said while eating: "If you work harder, it's not bad to go to high school, and then go out to work, and the job with a high degree of education will be easier, and your father said the same." ”

The third sister immediately said that she knew, and when she finished eating, You Xiaoming packed up the dishes and went to wash them, the third sister continued to do her homework, and her mother came to the pigsty to see how the two fat pigs were doing.

When the two pigs saw their master coming, they all stretched out their mouths to eat, and from time to time they whispered, and the pig's trough was cleanly eaten.

Every night when the mother waits for the two pigs to sleep, she will clean the pigsty and rinse it with water, it is not so smelly, and it will be unbearable on a hot day.

The house where the chickens and ducks are kept will be cleaned, as will the rabbits, otherwise it will really stink.

Looking at the two big fat pigs, one tall and one short, I hope the boss will come soon, a year's hard work is here, I am afraid that they will get sick.

When I was a child, I always took vaccinations and kept them carefully. It wasn't until now that I grew up and gained weight that I was relieved, and I thought about selling it for some money quickly.

At this time, there was a sound of talking in the yard, and the four male bosses came, and at this time, my mother hurriedly went over to say hello enthusiastically, and You Xiaoming also came out.

Everyone came to the pigsty, looked at the pig and whispered, the mother listened to it, Xiao Ming also stood next to it, the four bosses had come to buy it before, talking about the current price of pork, they were discussing.

After discussing for a long time, the four bosses asked their mother how much price they would sell?

Mom immediately smiled and said, "You have the final say." ”

The four bosses immediately said: "They are all old acquaintances, let's talk about the price after the scales, so it's fair to everyone, you say yes." ”

The mother hurriedly said yes, and the four bosses took out the big scales they brought, as well as the thumb-thick hemp rope, and put them all into the pigsty, carefully approached the dwarf pig, caught it, and tied it up with hemp rope.

The four people are well-trained, very experienced in buying pigs, carefully tie it up, the pig roared loudly from time to time, the two bosses quickly lifted the big scale in, carefully put the pig on it, let the mother go in to see how many catties?

The mother asked her son to go in and see, Xiao Ming immediately said yes, entered the pigsty, looked at the scales, there were two hundred and thirteen pounds, Xiao Ming immediately said to his mother.

The four bosses also made a note of it, put the pig aside first, and then went to catch the tall one, carefully plugged it, and put it on its neck with hemp rope first.

Then it grabbed its four feet, and it roared loudly and struggled hard, and the four bosses struggled to hold it down all over its body before tying it up carefully.

Fortunately, I didn't eat, otherwise I really couldn't catch it, I was already hungry, and I didn't have the strength to struggle, so the four bosses lifted it on the big scale.

Put the scales and ask Xiao Ming to see, after reading it, Xiao Ming said to his mother, there are one hundred and ninety-five pounds, this pig is less.

The four bosses also remembered, a total of four hundred and eight pounds, and then the boss said to his mother: "They are all old acquaintances, how about one yuan more than last year?"

The mother was a little hesitant, her pigs were not specially fed, they were fed according to the price of feed pigs, she immediately smiled and said: "Brothers, you have also seen, my pigs really did not feed any feed, how about one more yuan?"

The four bosses were unwilling, so they took out the scales and prepared to put the two pigs, and then the mother immediately said loudly: "Four big brothers, how about another eight cents a pound?"

The four bosses still refused, and they all said that they would give another five cents a pound at most, and my mother had to say okay, Xiao Ming didn't dare to speak next to him, because he didn't know the market, so he had to listen.

The four bosses slowly lifted the two pigs out and asked their mother whether to give cash or enter the bank card, and the mother immediately said that it was okay.

The four bosses immediately asked her to go to the market to get it together, and the mother hurriedly said yes and asked her son to go with her.

The two of them lifted their heads together, rested many times along the way, carried them very heavily, and finally arrived on the street where they were in the market.

Placed on the ground, the four bosses gasped for breath, wiped their faces with sweat, and rested for a while before they went into the house to get it.

The mother and son stood beside them and waited for them, and after a while they came out one after another, sharing two rooms in which they could not sell their meat.

Everyone takes out the money from their own bags and starts counting, and everyone calculates how much is the average amount per person?

Then I clicked twice, respectively, to my mother, and my mother immediately gave it to her son, Xiao Ming began to count, looked at the true and false, and after counting twice, he said the number.

Mom also read it, smiled and said okay, thank you to the four bosses, and the four bosses also smiled and said, the number is right, then let's go and get busy.

The mother said okay and left with her son, Xiao Ming gave the money to her mother and asked her to put it away and save it tomorrow.

The two mothers and sons said as they walked, and the mother whispered: "They made an extra three cents, so they bought it, they are all acquaintances, let them." The day after tomorrow, I went to buy twenty catties and came back to make bacon. ”

Xiao Ming had no choice but to say okay. Soon returned home, it was still early to see the time, and my mother asked Xiao Ming to go to the town first to save the money, and I didn't feel at ease at home.

Xiao Ming immediately said yes, his mother took out his bank card and a backpack, and the money, and told him to hurry up, Xiao Ming took it and said yes, turned around and left.

He came to the side of the road and waited for the car, and when the tricycle came, he got in the car, and the tricycle stopped all the way, and when it was not full, he also arrived in town.

Xiao Ming gave the fare, got out of the car, and walked quickly towards the gate of xx bank, and soon arrived, standing there and queuing, at this time there were fewer people, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was soon to him.

He took out his card and money, as well as his mother's ID card, and quickly arrived at the window, and the staff immediately helped him handle it.

After depositing, he signed, gave him the deposit certificate, ID card and bank card, carefully put it in his bag, turned around and walked out of the bank.
