Habit becomes nature

The following year, in the 'spring' ploughing season, because Yuan Qiuhua was in the late stage of pregnancy, Xie Han was working outside and had no main labor force to farm, and the second brother-in-law's family obviously suffered a loss, so Shu Zhiqiang insisted on dividing the field and planting, they planted Xie Bitao's field, and Yuan Qiuhua planted his own field.

In the 'spring' season, there is no harvest in the field, and the two families still eat a big pot of rice together. After the autumn harvest, the next thing is to live separately, they live in Xie Bitao's house, and finally they eat separately, which can be regarded as dividing the family.

Xie Bitao has to go to school, and the farm work at home suddenly falls on Yuan Qiuhua's shoulders, and she has to take care of her children who are a few months old. Gong Magpie has food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the money and expenses are borne by Xie Han, but he helps Xie Jiaxi take care of the little 'girl' full-time.

Yuan Qiuhua's first 'meat' pig was reluctant to be enjoyed by her family, so she sold it to the village commissary in exchange for some cash, but when she went to settle the pig 'meat' money, she was told that she had paid off the old debt owed by her father-in-law on credit during his lifetime. The mother-in-law is old, and Xie Han supports the 'door' household, and the old account should be repaid by him.

After Xie Han's family started the fire, they ate the grain harvested in their own fields, and there were still more than 2,000 catties of rice left in the barn of the old ancestral house, which was the rations left for her mother-in-law, and she alone was enough to eat for a year or two, and there was no need for her sons to make up for food. But before the summer grain was harvested in the coming year, Gong Magpie went to the 'door' to ask his sons for 200 catties of rice per family every year, needless to say that the 2,000 catties of rations left by Xie Han to her were wiped out by Shu Zhiqiang's family of five people.

Yuan Qiuhua inquired, only to know that Shu Zhiqiang's family is here, often live for a few years, when Xie Han was unmarried, planted his fields, lived in the ancestral house with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Gong Magpie has been helping the second brother-in-law's family grow vegetables and pigs, take care of housework, take care of children, the two sons from birth to the present, did not leave the grandmother's palace magpie for a day, grew up here, went to school here, the big one has been brought to the teens, the younger one has been brought to primary school, and now the third 'daughter' continues to take it.

When Xie Wu died, Yuan Qiuhua only saw the two sons of the second brother-in-law eating, living and going to school here, she didn't see that the second brother-in-law took this as his home, but they left home to hide and give birth to the third child, and came back after giving birth, so he participated in the action to drive away the second sister-in-law Tan Yinhe, so that Xie Bitao, who lost her father, became a motherless child again, and completely became an orphan without the slightest discount.

In the six months before and after Yuan Qiuhua and Xie Han got married, she didn't know that the second sister was married and didn't leave, but they went out to work. They threw their two sons to Gong Magpie to take care of, and after Yuan Qiuhua got married, Gong Magpie pushed him to take care of his third daughter-in-law, and Yuan Qiuhua cooked and washed for him to 'pay' tuition, and went to the parent-teacher meeting.

In the first half of each year, when the 'spring' is busy planting, Shu Zhiqiang and his wife leave their children to go out, but they are not high or low, do business, have no capital and no ability, do hard work, are dirty and tired, set up stalls, and can't put down their children, so they wander here for a few months, and live there for a few months. After the autumn harvest, the grain entered the warehouse, and they returned to the Xie family empty-handed, because when they returned to their parents' house, the children were taken care of, and they enjoyed ready-made food and housing, and they did not need to 'pay' taxes and fees for farming.

After Shu Zhiqiang's family came to live in Xie's house, Gong Magpie helped the second 'daughter-in-law' take the children to do housework, cut grass and raise sows, collect firewood and herd cattle, and the second brother-in-law's family came to open their mouths for dinner, and stretched out their hands for clothes.

As the saying goes, the poorer you are, the lazier you are, the lazier you are, the more you run, the more you run. Tracing back to the source, the root of poverty still lies in Shu Zhiqiang. He is a 'wave' and 'swinger', his vast world is outside the 'door', and his home is a hostel and a restaurant, and no 'door' can close him. I have never been willing to farm, I don't want to farm, I also feel that farming does not make money, I always want to get rich overnight by opportunism, catch a gold ingot, get a windfall, play missing when I have a little free time, day and night, follow a group of fox friends and dog friends to wander around, not to play cards, to hold 'chicken', to cheat gold 'flowers', is to shake the dice, press nine points, and to buy ** lottery, and to play the lottery, trying to win the jackpot, special prize, from the fast and fast, easy to get rich, live a particularly happy life. But nine out of ten bets are lost, and the money is bet again and again, and I have never seen a time when I can win back. The manly husband's nature of the rivers and lakes makes him willing to gamble and lose, never pull the skin and stretch the tendons, play the debt, and do not pay it back, he is partial and competitive, does not accept the back of the hand, does not admit bad luck, and the passing year is unfavorable, and he shouts to go into battle when he has a few money, and he loses the battle when he goes into battle, and he has no return to the battle.

For a long time, Gong Magpie and Xie Jiayan have supported Shu Zhiqiang's gambling, thinking that he will lose every time he gambles, just because he is unlucky, or his luck is not good, and the tiles are still turning over, so there is no luck in life? In the past two years, Gong Magpie saw that he was really not angry, and he had no hope to tighten the silver base, and at the same time, he was afraid that he would offend him too much and 'forced' him to run away from home, and he didn't dare to give too little, he didn't dare to step on twenty or thirty thousand yuan a year, and vowed not to stop.

If Shu Zhiqiang and his family are hard-working, they are willing to work hard to plant the fields well, and the grain is enough to eat, and then plant some greenhouses and vegetables, and transport them to the city to sell, and the cash is enough to spend. But they never care about farming, they are notoriously lazy and procrastinating, they don't catch up with the season, they often don't harvest when the year is bad, and they have to buy grain to eat. The money of the mother's family is easy to come by, and the money is naturally generous when it comes to 'spending', and the hard-earned money earned by the farmer's farming and sweat beads falling eight petals is naturally very stingy to use. And the whole village counted that they ate richly, dressed brightly, used generously, and enjoyed Qingfu, but they couldn't calculate.

More than ten years have passed, and the family has not seen any livestock, nor has it been bought or put on property, let alone a house or a house, and the few dollars earned have all been gambled, eaten, worn, and 'spent'.

Big money can't be earned, small money is unwilling to earn, back to the Xie family to enjoy the shade, rely on the old lady to take care of it, just like that, live a day is a day, spend a year to earn a year, Pepsi does not bear the 'mixed' days, and when you are old, you have your own children and daughters to support the elderly.
