[17] Under the pressure of life, second-rate children also have to mature

"You dare to smash Lao Tzu and try it, dare to touch a single hair of my hair, and my sister promises to break your dog's leg when you turn around!!"

The person who patted Liu Minglang behind him was first startled by Liu Minglang's ferocity, but after reacting, he immediately pointed to Liu Minglang who was holding a noodle bowl and shouted angrily.

Although his memory is a little sparse, after looking at the face that is seven points similar to his mother, Liu Minglang immediately guessed that this may be his mother's second brother.

Seeing that it was his uncle, Liu Minglang hurriedly put down the noodle bowl in his hand, pulled his uncle to sit down on the table, and said with a happy smile; "Ahaha, ahaha, it turned out to be my uncle, did my uncle have breakfast, do you want to have a bowl, the boss hurry up and bring another bowl with meat, what, two cents for you, hehehe..." ”

"Hmph, Minglang, Minglang, your mother also said that you have become better, I can see it clearly now.

Feelings, you little madman has become better, just to coax your mother to be happy and cheat pocket money out of chic, you... Seeing that Liu Minglang, who used to eat overlord meals and didn't give money, this time he paid so boldly, thinking that he was the uncle who had cheated his own sister's money, and suddenly he hated iron and steel.

It's just that before he could finish disliking, the old man pointed to the two big paper bags next to Liu Minglang and asked, "What's in your two bulging bags, they smell very good, can you eat them?"

"Nothing, just bought my mom a dollar of beef balls, she loves to eat this.

I also bought a pig ear for a dollar for my dad and gave him a snack, hehehe... Liu Minglang, who hadn't understood what his uncle meant, just opened the bag happily and introduced it to his uncle, and didn't take the initiative to get some out for him to taste.

At this time, the vendor boss happened to come over with a big bowl of noodles, put it in front of his uncle, and said politely, "Come, your beef offal noodles are delicious, and you will take care of them next time, Brother Xiaotian." ”

"Mmmm, it's delicious, I'll definitely come next time, hehehe......" ”

The uncle and the vendor are in the same village, so the uncle had to say a few polite words to her, after all, they all live in the same village, and they can't see anyone who looks down when they are carried away, and it is good for everyone to have a good relationship, after all, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

After being polite to the vendor owner, the uncle immediately moved his chopsticks directly, and while taking the pig ears and meatballs out of Liu Minglang's bag and putting them in his bowl, he glared at Liu Minglang and said angrily, "You stinky boy, when your parents went to sea in the past, my uncle and I didn't take you to play."

Now I don't know how to honor my uncle, you stinky boy, what happened to my sister today, why did you give you so much money?"

"It wasn't given by my mother, I went to sea with my dad to fish this morning, and I had a good harvest today, plus I also asked the vendor for a good price, so I kept some pocket money for myself, hehehe......"

By the way, uncle, you came to the city today to help our family sell fish, have you sold out of fish, and how much did you sell it?" After casually explaining the origin of his money, Liu Minglang smiled and asked his uncle about another matter.

was asked by Liu Minglang about the embarrassment, and the uncle immediately smiled with an embarrassed face; "That, that... Your mother said that the money from selling fish today should be regarded as an advance to my salary, and after you go to school, I will go to your house to fish with your father, hehehe... ”

"Tut-tut.... Uncle, you can't do this.

You've only advanced a month's salary for a month and a half on the first day of work, and you've made me very passive.

You said that if you continue to be a second-rate person in the future, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, you said that when the time comes, I will be the boss, do you want to fire you?" Liu Minglang, who knew what kind of character his uncle was, suddenly turned on a bad face after hearing that his mother would support him with all the money from selling fish today, and began to suppress his uncle.

It's embarrassing to say, my uncle's previous personality was very scoundrel, he married his wife, had no money to have children, and he would always come to Liu Minglang's mother to play a scoundrel and ask for money, and if he didn't give money, he would stay at home and not leave.

One year like this, two years like this, three years like this, and the fourth year like this.

But in the second half of the fourth year, that is, on Liu Minglang's thirteenth birthday, Liu Minglang, who had a mutated personality and was rebellious, happened to meet his uncle who came to the house to play a scoundrel when he came back from school.

Then Liu Minglang, who was annoyed, suddenly seemed to be crazy, picked up the firewood knife at home and rushed towards his uncle, and ran after his uncle for two villages murderously.

In the end, the big man who came back from going to sea snatched Liu Minglang's woodcutter, and then Liu Minglang, who was almost crazy, carried him home, which reluctantly saved his uncle's life.

But since then, Liu Minglang has completely become bad, fighting with people for three days and two days, not smiling a face, and looking at everyone with a straight face all day long, as if they owe him five million.

Since then, my uncle has never dared to come over to play a scoundrel, and even when he gives gifts to each other during the New Year, he only asks his wife to come over, and he himself doesn't dare to come over.

Hearing Liu Minglang's words, I didn't know if it was for the better, or if the family burden was heavy, so he waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Don't worry, my uncle is not the second-rate son before."

And your sister and your brother are all going to study when they grow up, and if your uncle doesn't work well to make money, he will be resented by them for the rest of his life in the future, hey. ”

"Boss, give me another dollar of pig ears, cut them and bring them over, I'll give you money.... Hearing his uncle's words, Liu Minglang suddenly remembered the skinny appearance of his cousin and cousin in his memory, so he couldn't bear it and waved his hand directly, and asked the cooked food vendor on the side for another dollar of pig ears.

Hearing Liu Minglang's words, the vendor selling cooked food immediately began to cut the pig's ears excitedly, and replied loudly, "Okay, this will cut the pig's ears for the master, and ensure that the master will come back after eating, hehehe..." ”

"Clear, thank you... Remember to come to the house to play when you have time, your grandfather, grandmother, and younger siblings miss your ...... Hearing the words of Liu Minglang and the vendors, the old man who was eating noodles continued to eat noodles with his head down, and his voice was like a cold.

"I'll go over to play on Sunday in two days, that old man, you eat slowly, I still have to buy something, and this pig ear you take back to your younger brothers and sisters to eat, I'm leaving..." After taking out a dollar to give to the cooked food vendor, Liu Minglang left the bag of pig ears he had brought over, then picked up his previous two bags, and turned around and left directly to buy rice cereal.

Looking at Liu Minglang's fading back, the noodle vendor consciously added soup to his uncle's bowl and said thoughtfully, "Brother Xiaotian, this is the little madman who chased you and cut down two streets back then, but this little handsome guy doesn't look like such a fierce person except for the reaction just now, which is a little scary..." ”

"Go, go, go... It's all about the old yellow calendar, why mention it.

Besides, my nephew is already very good, and I wasn't chased because I annoyed my sister for money.

Hey, don't mention the past, think about my past self, I want to slap myself twice, hehe... Hearing the words of the vendor owner, the old man drank the noodle soup in the bowl in a big gulp, and said with a wry smile on his face.

The pressure of life is like a bottle of ripening agent, it can make people age quickly, and it can also make ignorant children grow up and mature quickly.

The former uncle, because everything is borne by the parents at home, and there are married sisters in various villages who can help him, so he has been living like a second-rate child, eating and drinking all day long with nothing to do.

But as time went by, his children began to grow up slowly, his parents grew old, and his sisters in various villages began to have no way to continue to help him because they had to take care of their children.

It was only at this time that the confused uncle saw his responsibilities, the elderly parents in the family, the three children who are getting taller day by day, and the children's upcoming academic problems, all of which need to be borne by him, the head of the family.

When he first took on the family, his uncle was almost crushed by the pressure of the family, but fortunately, his sisters were still reluctant to let him suffer too much after all, and secretly helped him when he couldn't bear it anymore.

It wasn't enough to have his sisters to help him, because he knew it wouldn't last long, and now he needed a well-paid and stable job so that he could sustain his family life for a long time.

So when his sister came to him in the morning and asked him to sell fish, saying that as long as he sold well, not only could he subsidize his family with today's money, but he could also hire him to fish with his brother-in-law in the future.

At half past four in the morning, he did not hesitate to pedal on a broken bicycle and carry two buckets full of fish, shrimp and dried fish to the market to sell.
