The fourth aunt said, "How can it be? Didn't they say that they would return it in three months?"

Xiaowei said: "What do you believe when he says it? What are they trying to do? Aren't they just deceiving you of this deposit, can you still be called a liar if you talk about it?"

The fourth aunt lowered her head and pondered, and said, "I don't think so, I feel like a few people who are quite sincere." ”

Xiaowei said: "Auntie, you can't deal with people in the city the way people in our village get along, understand, it's different." ”

The fourth uncle's voice came from the house: "Did you take it away from the police station?"

Xiaowei said, "Well, take it away." ”

The fourth uncle said, "Okay, you go back to Xiaowang for dinner, that's it." ”

Buwei walked a few steps to the door of the inner room and said, "Fourth uncle, you and the fourth aunt will sit here with the eldest brother for a while in the afternoon, and I will discuss something with you." ”

The fourth uncle said, "Okay, I'll rest for a while." Go and eat. ”

Xiaowei and Chen Hui, Xia Maosheng, and Zhang Wang came out and drove back to Zhang Wang's house.

In the car. Zhang Wang said, "Xiaowei, aren't you going to my dad?"

Xiaowei said: "Let's go and stand before leaving in the afternoon, there is nothing to say." ”

Since Xiaowei, the uncle, found a new bride, there are not many families, and Xiaowei's cousins and sisters can't get together with the new bride, and after a long time, they will naturally have a part.

Rural people are timid, understand little, but simple and down-to-earth, in the countryside, lazy, stingy love to take advantage, petty theft these things are the most unpopular, no one wants to associate with you. The new lady took the first two. Her son had all three.

Zhang Wang has moved out now to live by himself, he is diligent and down-to-earth, and he doesn't have to continue to endure the exclusion of his stepmother and cheap brother, and now he has to live a small life more comfortably and comfortably, basically going back to visit during the New Year's Day, and he rarely goes to that gate anymore.

Of course, the father-son relationship between Zhang Wang and Uncle Xiaowei will not be affected much, and the uncle will still go around when he is fine, and occasionally steal a few yuan to Zhang Wang. A few dollars in the northeast countryside at this time can not be regarded as less.

When they arrived at Zhang Wang's house, their sister-in-law, Xiu'er, Xiaohong, Chen Xiao and Geng Hui had already eaten and rested, and they were sleeping sweetly on the warm kang. Chen Xiao had never slept on the kang, and her sister-in-law laid three layers of new mattresses for her.

Xiao Wei and the four of them looked at the room outside by the window, and then lightly entered the outhouse, closed the open door of the inner room, directly put the kang table on the ground, and brought out the hot food in the pot.

The rural earthen stove can't make any exquisite dishes, potato and kidney bean stew, stewed big fish, egg sauce, shallots, leeks and scrambled eggs, but it tastes fragrant, it is really delicious, Xia Maosheng's home is also better with a stove, Chen Hui is simply going to eat his tongue into his stomach, and nodded his head while eating to express his admiration.

Steamed bread is mixed noodles, bud rice noodles buckwheat noodles with white noodles, at that time fine white noodles are rare in the countryside, can not afford to eat and drink, just used to mix bud rice noodles and buckwheat noodles, to increase the taste. Just this Chen Hui is also eager to eat.

Xia Maosheng and Chen Hui sat on the pony turn, and Zhang Wang and Xiaowei squatted directly.

"Brother, in addition to the land you have divided, have you covered the land on the team?" Xiao Wei asked Zhang Wang while eating.

Zhang Wang shook his head and said, "No, I just opened some in front of the mountain and behind the house, and they are all vegetables." I can't get the buds and beans I planted on the land, and the land in the village is not enough except for the public grain land. Everyone went up the mountain to open up the wasteland by themselves. I didn't get it this year. ”

Xiaowei nodded and said: "That's right, as soon as the autumn harvest is over, you and my sister-in-law will go to Longcheng, you have everything right at home, the vegetables, sauces and grains are arranged in advance, my uncle's family in my sister-in-law's house, the fourth uncle's family is divided, and the chickens, ducks, geese and dogs can be sold. ”

Zhang Wang was still a little hesitant: "Can it really work?"

Xiaowei nodded heavily and said, "It's okay, with me." My brother is not coming back from Xingcheng now, and the development is very good, so I don't have to worry about it, and the marriage is also married. It's you and Xiu'er on our side, you two can listen to my arrangement. ”

Zhang Wang said: "Okay, listen to you." ”

Chen Hui's mouth finally opened and said, "It's so delicious, and it's good to live in the countryside." Brother Wang, you just put your heart in your stomach, you are Xiaowei's brother, that is my brother, I am a partner in business, we are not short of money, my father is a big official, we are not afraid of other people's bears, you can live with peace of mind, you will definitely be able to live well. ”

Xia Maosheng said with a smile: "Xiaohui can buy it as long as it is delicious, and if you put it in the past, you can just give it a roast chicken." ”

Zhang Wang laughed a little, sandwiched a large piece of meat for Chen Hui, and said, "You eat more, you can't make good things in the countryside, it's just fooling." ”

Chen Hui said: "No, no, no, it's delicious, if only I could eat it often in the future." ”

Xiaowei said: "Okay, if you want to eat, I will find a place in my yard to build a kitchen, and use an earthen stove." ”

Chen Hui nodded and said, "Okay, this thing will definitely work, when the time comes, let my sister-in-law cook, and I will pay the salary." ”

Zhang Wang said: "Actually, I really want to go out, you are not at home, and they sometimes come to stay with me for a while in the long run, and talk about some things in the county and city, and I am also tempted." The main thing is that I don't know anything, and I haven't gone out, so I'm afraid that if I go out, I won't be able to do anything and harm the money.

Originally, I wanted to stay up for a few more years, and then go out to see when the family saved some money and came out, but after all, the child was not ready to have some money in his hand, what if it came one day? It's all a bit of a no-brainer. ”

Xiaowei said: "You're right, we can save a few hundred yuan a year, and when you have a child, it will take seven or eight years for your child to go to elementary school, and it shouldn't be difficult to save five or six thousand yuan." But brother, it will take seven or eight years. Do you know what you can do with a few hundred dollars in the city? You can't do anything, and you can go out for two months with food and lodging.

That's why I said I can't wait, it's not like I'm outside, and you don't have to bump into it yourself, with me. Seven or eight years is too long for us to wait. Now the city has changed too much, it will be the same in a few days, and I can't say what it will be like in seven or eight years, and a few thousand yuan at that time may not be as good as a few hundred yuan now.

Our children can't wait to farm in the countryside, like our elders to guard a few acres of land is a lifetime, all year round is to earn a meal, drink, sleep, firewood and fire, can't live like this. I called Xinghai for a long time and they came over in the afternoon, after the autumn, you all go out, you go to me, they go to our city.

We are not stupid than outsiders, we just let this land be tied, and we have been holding such a big piece of the sky for a few lifetimes, and we don't know what is going on outside. The outside world is very big, there are a lot of things that can be done outside, how can people live for a lifetime, we have to earn something for our children and grandchildren, brother, do you say no?"
