When I entered the house, it was still so messy, and the store was different from the future generations, and I didn't pay much attention to what was neat and tidy, and no one cared.

There is no one in the store in front, and no one is stealing anything at this time, and they will shout when someone comes.

When I came to the back, there was a cotton curtain hanging on the door between the front and back, and when I opened it, I immediately felt a warmth, and the stove was burning. As soon as the door opened, a man stretched out his head and took a look: "Mom." Why are you coming back today?"

Xia Maosheng nodded at him, called his brother-in-law, and didn't introduce Xiaowei and Chen Hui, Xia's mother carried the tied chicken and handed it over: "Where to put this first, give it to you for the New Year, all the family has sold, so I will leave one for your family." ”

The eldest brother-in-law came out of the house and took the chicken from Xia's mother, carried it to the back to get a basket and buckled it, and here Xia's mother and Xia Maosheng entered the back room.

The back room was re-tidied up, neat and warm, Xia Dad sat on the edge of the kang, Xia Elder Sister stood next to Xia Dad, and an old lady sat in the back with two men.

"The in-laws are here, come and sit, warm and warm. The old lady stood up and greeted Mother Xia.

Xia Ma looked around and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xiaowei and Chen Hui greeted Xia's father, and Xia Maosheng and Geng Hui met when they got married.

The old lady is the mother of the eldest brother-in-law, her expression was a little unnatural for a moment, she coughed, squeezed out a little smile, and said: "It's not, it's going to be the New Year, come and see the second child, and do some New Year's goods." Xiao Si'er, by the way, I want to buy a bicycle, it is more convenient to go back and forth. ”

Xia Maosheng called out to the eldest mother, looked at the house and said, "Then let's go, it's just right, the eldest lady and they are going to go shopping for New Year's goods, let's go, it's dark if you don't go over there." ”

Dad Xia asked, "Leave today?"

Xia Maosheng said: "Well, I came back to pick you up, the house was packed, everything was in the car, do you still have something?"

Dad Xia shook his head: "It's okay, pack up and leave." ”

Xia Maosheng turned his head and asked Sister Xia, "Sister, have you cleaned up?"

Sister Xia stroked her hair: "There's nothing to clean up, just close the door, I'll go to the side to get the child back and change clothes." Turning his head and walking out, Brother-in-law Xia happened to come in, and Sister Xia said, "I'll go get the child." "It's out.

Brother-in-law Xia entered the house, rubbed his hands, looked back and forth, and said to his fourth brother: "The family doesn't have much money now, the eldest and the third have bicycles, and you don't have a separate family, so if it's useful, you can ride it, why do you have to buy another one? ”

The fourth looked unhappy, twisted his face to the side and said, "That's not mine, who doesn't have one now? How convenient is it, isn't it only about 300 yuan." ”

The old lady said: "If he wants it, you can buy one for him, and it will be convenient to go out and do anything in the future, and you don't have to rob the boss and the third child." ”

Xia's father said: "Then buy it, what are you doing with Qingsheng? What do you have to agree to Qingsheng? Now you are living your own life, Qingsheng has been out of her own since she married the eldest of my family, what have you done to help your family? Build this house, let your third and fourth children come to help, come to have a meal and run away, now I remember?"

Are you embarrassed? Over the years, the birthday celebration and the boss have made a lot of money, you can see for yourself, look at this luggage, look at this house, as if you have earned money? Where has the money gone? Where is the money? This has caught up with the two of you to support your whole family, and you are really embarrassed. Fourth, how old are you? Twenty-four or five, right? How much do you earn a year?

I want to be fashionable, dress and eat well, want to buy a bicycle, I don't have hands or feet? You're about to get married, aren't you? I remember how much money I spent building a house last year to celebrate my birthday?

The old lady sighed and said: "These old children do not help the family, don't be angry with your in-laws, this is not, there is no way, it is not easy to find a job now, and I am not looking for money to earn, what about the fourth child, the age is not qualitative, I have it in my heart." In the past, I remembered the money from the second child, and in the future, I will pay it back when the third and fourth children earn money. ”

Xia's father said: "Why can't you make money? No one outside is living? Why don't you make money these days? Originally, I was an outsider, and it was not my turn to worry about your family's affairs, but think about it yourself, are you so used to having children? How many adults are you? The third child is better than before, and he has a child, so he can come out and scratch a little bit a year, and the fourth child has been eating, drinking, and having fun a year, what are you doing? Lying on the kang and waiting for the money to drop?"

The fourth child turned his head and said, "Why am I lying on the kang and waiting for the money to be lost?"

Xia's father said: "Don't talk about it, last year, I helped you find a job on the construction site, how many days did you work?

The old man pouted: "What kind of work is that, I can't make a few dollars if I bury it, I'm tired and tired, and I can't make a few dollars, I won't do it." ”

Father Xia stared at the fourth child for a few seconds, and said: "You are not my son, if my son's leg would have been discounted for you a long time ago, you don't do anything serious, you just eat and wait for the dead housekeeper to ask for money all day, and you want to buy everything, are you embarrassed to spend other people's hard-earned money to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble all day long?"

The fourth brother stood up and said to Brother-in-law Xia: "You are happy, if you don't buy it, if you don't buy it, I'll leave, what kind of play are you doing here, you have to be scolded." How much did it cost you? When I have the money to double you, what's the big deal, isn't it just money, what's it?"

Xia Maosheng looked the fourth child up and down a few times, turned his head to Sister Xia and said, "You have an account, right? ”

Sister Xia nodded slightly.

Xia Maosheng said, "Bring it to me." ”

Sister Xia glanced up at her younger brother, a little embarrassed.

Xia Maosheng stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it." Brother-in-law, I'm not looking at you, you sit on the side for a while, you can't be as confused as you, you have to figure it out. ”

The old lady stood up and said, "Oh, it's all about today, forget it, I'll go back with them first, and then think of a way when I go back." ”

Xia Maosheng said: "Auntie, you sit down for a while, let's talk about it as soon as we talk, everyone has a good heart." Sister Xia went to the side of the box and took the account book out.

In this era, every family has an account book, and it is necessary to remember how many cents it spends, to count the spending, and to plan for buying things.

Xia Maosheng took it and flipped through it, found the page of "Birthday Celebration" and looked at it, was happy, shook the account book and said, "Your family, hehe, I really don't have anything to say." Since my eldest sister got married, it has never been good, I remember that at that time I got married or my family paid for most of the money, and this house was also built with my family's money, as well as my salary.

What is the result? How much does it cost to get into this store from my eldest sister? More than 44,000, this must not be counting the usual stuffed pocket money to buy things back and forth, auntie, don't you remember it? Is this number correct? This is a borrowed or still a loan? Fourth, when will you pay back the double portion?"

The fourth child stiffened his neck: "I didn't spend it, the eldest and the third didn't spend it?" My mother borrowed it from you, what does it have to do with me." ”

Xia Maosheng said: "You built a house last year, and it was more than 10,000 yuan at once, isn't it yours? When will the money be returned?"

After glancing at the fourth child, Xia Maosheng said to the eldest mother again: "Your family, repair the old house, the third child builds a house, the fourth child builds a house, buys furniture and electrical appliances, buys clothes, gives birth to children, buys a bicycle, why don't you come to my sister to get money? My sister married your family to pay off debts? What did you owe you in your last life? You look at the life they have lived, can you bear it? My eldest brother-in-law is not your son, right?"
