The shanty houses in the yard have been looking for a long time, and the brick joints on the exterior walls are getting bigger and bigger, and many people's homes are repaired with cement, which looks like patches. There are still a lot of people around the public water pipes, it's almost the New Year, wash and wash, clean, whether you are poor or rich, you have to have a happy and happy New Year, no matter what happened in the past, people are looking forward to a better tomorrow!

When Zhao Hong returned to his house, the eldest and second child of the neighbor Lao Liu's family were busy preparing for the lunch that went out to sell today, the two tricycles were full of several large thermos buckets, and the two brothers kept loading the fried big pot dishes into the thermos buckets, his kitchen and Zhao Hong's kitchen were busy, and the old man and the aunt were also helping to pick and wash vegetables, preparing disposable tableware, which seemed to be very busy and a little overwhelmed. The two girls who have been on vacation can help a lot, boiling egg soup, corn porridge, and taking advantage of the cheapness, they made a lot of yam and bean pancakes.

The old man and the old lady saw Zhao Hong, and hurriedly stopped being busy and greeted, "The second son is back." ”

Zhao Hong hurriedly replied, "I haven't heard that it is going to be demolished, come back and ask you about the news." ”

The eldest lady also put down the things in her hand and beckoned, "Come and sit at my house, your house has been empty for so long, and there is dust inside." ”

Aunt Liu led Zhao Hong into the bedroom inside his house as she spoke, and the whole family was the only one here that was relatively neat and could entertain guests.

Everything in the house is still the same as before, the black and white 14-inch small TV, produced by RB, has not broken for more than ten years, there is a large yellow table clock on the flat cabinet, "tick tick" is still timed, and there are a few cushions on the old-fashioned fabric sofa made by yourself.

The old man beckoned Zhao Hong's family of three to sit down, and the eldest lady went to pour water to make tea. The old man looked at Guo Yi and the child and asked, "This is ......?"

Zhao Hong also said generously, "This is my daughter-in-law and son, and this is my old neighbors, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu." ”

Guo Yi and Jack also greeted each other politely.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu also smiled very happily and said, "Okay, very good." Time is so fast. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. The little child who was greedy every day also grew up, and in a blink of an eye, he already had a daughter-in-law and a child. ”

The eldest lady took Jack's little hand and asked, "How old are you this year, are you going to school?"

Jack also said without any discomfort, "Grandma, I am six years old this year, and I am already in kindergarten. You will be able to go to elementary school in the second half of this year. ”

"Well, this child is really well raised! much stronger than ordinary children, bold and polite. The uncle also said with a smile.

Jack was also curious and asked, "Grandpa, why is the house here so small? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Hong was also embarrassed, this is really not an occasion to tell the truth. It's also so exciting.

"Haha......" The two old men laughed very hard, and after a while they slowly explained, "This house is indeed very crowded." Your father lived in such a room when he was a child, and your grandparents, uncles and aunts were very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. ”

Guo Yi also relieved himself from the embarrassment and said, "So your father has learned a lot of knowledge and has a lot of skills through reading, so he can provide you with a much better life than this, so ......"

Jack also said with a look of disgust, "So I have to study hard so that I can live the life I want in the future." Please, Mom, please don't repeat it. ”

"Haha......" Everyone was happy this time, even Guo Yi was the same, and said helplessly, "Will the child dislike a verbose old mother when he grows up?"

"Haha......" Uncle Liu and the aunt were also very happy when they heard it, and they thought so.

"That's because you didn't see the child really grow up, that's really disgusting. ”

Jack looked at his mother, who looked sad, and quickly remedied, "No, you are a beautiful mother, and you are the most beautiful mother! A lot of my friends say you're a pretty mother! Well, a pretty mom that's a bit wordy. ”

"Haha...... "Jack did bring more joy today. Zhao Hong also looked at Guo Yi helplessly, this is indeed the truth, I don't know what to do.

At this time, the eldest of the Liu family also walked in, opened his mouth and asked with a smile, "What good things did I miss?" ”

"Boss, sitting here, the second son's child is so cute. It makes everyone very happy. The eldest lady explained.

"Second son, don't leave at noon, I'll come back with my second child for a meal in a while, I really want to talk to you more, some things still have to listen to your readers' ideas." After saying that, he was busy again.

At the end of the year, although many people have begun to return to their hometowns, there are still many people who still insist on working, especially some service industries, such as shopping malls or something, this is the most profitable time, it is said that selling clothing before the end of the year is basically not profitable, only at the end of the year can earn hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, very few millions. During this period of time, there is no time to go to the restaurant for lunch, and the flow of people buying clothes at noon is endless, even if they are sent to their hands, they can only take time to take turns to eat, and the boss and employees are equally busy, so the standard of lunch is also very high, which is much higher than the food standard at home, of course, the commission bonus is also indispensable, otherwise the boss will be fired by the employee in the second year.

Uncle Liu also said proudly, "In the past almost a year, the eldest and second have done a good job, although they didn't tell us specifically, but my mother and I estimate that there will be at least more than 300 profits per day, and the two brothers must have an income of more than 100,000 this year." The standard of living is rising, the smile on the face, although every day is very tired, but people are full of confidence, next year they are ready to buy their own car, and they are also ready to change the gun, which is also called the equipment upgrade. Although the two daughters-in-law didn't say much, their faces became more and more smiling. When I have time, I will take the initiative to participate in it. Even the cost of this demolition was borne in one go. Don't worry about it. ”

The eldest lady also said with a lot of feelings, "At that time, I felt that the sky was going to fall when I was laid off, in fact, as long as I can pass the first hurdle, the road behind will be much easier, or your idea last year was good!"

Zhao Hong also hurriedly said, "You're welcome, I've been an old neighbor for so many years, I haven't been polite when I ate so many fried small fish from your house when I was a child." You're welcome, didn't I just come up with an idea?"

Uncle Liu, who loves to read newspapers, shook his head and said, "It's not that simple! The newspapers have said that thinking determines thinking, and thinking determines the way out." Without you, it wouldn't have been so easy for them to find such a good way out. And with a good start to the first step, the road will be wider and wider. ”

Yes, at many critical moments in life, who doesn't need such help to be much better?
