There are phoenixes in the ravines, but not many. Lu Tao's aunt Zhang Ju was born in a ravine, there are not so many dick silk counterattacks, and there are not so many public tribes and people, and some are just ordinary people's lives.

Since marrying Lu Tao's uncle Liu Zhiwei, the couple has gone to work in a factory in Dongguan every year, and will only come back during the Chinese New Year. Rao is so, in this poor and remote place, with a large number of poor relatives, he can already be regarded as a figure who has stood out and seen the world.

My grandmother's house was rebuilt last year, and I heard that it cost a full 15,000 yuan, which is not a small amount in this kind of place.

The detached three-storey building, with a kitchen and living room below, and several bedrooms above, with white tiles on the outside of the walls, which shine in the winter sun, contrasts sharply with the rough adobe tile houses that are all used throughout the village.

Uncle Liu Zhiwei belongs to the typical category of being afraid of his wife, and many things in the family are basically decided by his aunt. Of course, he himself would not think so, and he said that he loved his wife.

"Aunt, happy New Year, I have a New Year's greeting for you. In front of the elders, Lu Tao did enough courtesy. Even if there is dissatisfaction, it is a relative, and there are situations where the poor love the rich are everywhere, and they do not only exist among relatives, and there is no need to keep talking about it.

"Okay, everyone. "My aunt was busy in the kitchen, shiny pots and pans, all made of stainless steel. It was not firewood, but gas, and the green gas canister stood in a corner of the kitchen like a giant winter melon.

"If you're watching TV, go upstairs." Where there are elders, the New Year's greetings are particularly lively, and there are many people who come, and the aunt is busy, and she doesn't forget to shout to a group of nephews.

"Yes. Lu Tao replied.

Grandma Lu Tao gave birth to a total of three daughters and a son, and the New Year's holiday is naturally a large family of people getting together, after lunch, the men are mostly playing landlords, playing mahjong and other entertainment activities, and the women are mostly sitting together, chatting and gossiping, such as which family's children are how obedient, whose daughters are married and divorced, and other topics.

"Second Brother Lu, hurry up and sit up, three are missing one. The aunt crackled and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the dining table, handed over things like washing dishes to Lu Tao's uncle, and directly became the shopkeeper, moved the square table for eating to the courtyard, as a mahjong table, and shouted to Lu Dayou.

Lu Tao's mother is the second oldest in the family, so naturally his father has become Lu Erge, after all, according to the brother-in-law's shouting, there are 4 in total, which is difficult to distinguish.

Although Lu Dayou likes to fight landlords, he also knows that the two children in the family go to school and play cards very young, mainly for entertainment, so he naturally does not want to be with this younger brother and sister who has seen the world.

It's okay to win, but if you lose, you don't want to say that you feel distressed, and you have to suffer from the nagging of your daughter-in-law Liu Zhihui.

"You guys fight too much, and if I still don't come, I'll fight with a few of their landlords. Lu Tao's father pointed to a few relatives and replied.

"Then what's the matter, a person from the family just got together at a table, hurry up. My aunt put on an apron, sat down directly at the table, and said loudly.

"If you don't come, you rich people, we can't compare. “

"What's big, it's 5 cents. Lu Tao's uncle said.

"What 5 cents, if you want to fight, you can hit a piece, and finally come back once for the New Year, you are still like this. My aunt slapped her hand on the table and said directly.

Several people were stunned, and seemed to be a little hesitant, at this time, the landlord is generally only a dime, and this opening will hit a piece, which can be imagined its shocking power.

Lu Tao looked at his father and said with a smile: "Dad, you can accompany your aunt to fight once, it's only once or twice a year, don't spoil your aunt's interest." ”

Lu Dayou glared at Lu Tao fiercely, he was really full and didn't know that hungry men were hungry, and he really thought it was easy for his family to earn some money. Even if it's a relative, who doesn't feel distressed if they lose money?

"That's right, you see what my nephew said, second brother, don't you give face, just a few of you guys will cook that night." ”

Lu Tao's aunt was inside and outside, her mouth was very good, her eyes were wide, and she looked at several brothers-in-law, with some dissatisfaction on her face.

"Then, let's fight a piece, Second Brother Wang. The two uncles naturally couldn't be looked down upon by a woman at this time, so they said stubbornly.

Lu Dayou is hesitating, in fact, he is not good at playing mahjong, to put it bluntly, he is just trying to have fun, knowing that he is giving money, and playing such a big game, he will definitely not be able to say it. But if you don't go, you will lose face among your relatives, and you will be a little embarrassed for a while.

Before he could say anything, Zhang Ju said directly: "What's the matter, second brother, you are a college student in your family now, and you can't look down on uneducated people like us?"

Hearing this, Lu Tao saw that his father's face was a little ugly, just because Lu Tao was admitted to the university, which invisibly put some pressure on several aunts, so he usually talked about it.

On the surface, it is flattery, but in fact, anyone can hear it, and there are more or less other thoughts in it.

Lu Tao hurriedly said to his father: "Dad, you can play it once, I'll show you on the side." ”

"How can you do that, you're a college student, and your head is naturally smarter than a few of us, so you can't talk next to you. ”

My aunt blocked Lu Tao's plan to watch the battle and command next to him with a word, and Lu Tao had to say bitterly: "Then I won't speak." ”

"Second Brother Wang, don't be tough, everyone is not an outsider, how much difference is there between five cents and one piece, even if you lose, isn't it in your own pocket?"

This is not to give her face.

Knowing that his father was afraid of losing and reluctant to pay, Lu Tao said directly: "Dad, you can play, if you lose, it will be mine." ”

"You kid can have a few bucks, big spenders. Hearing Lu Tao blowing so nonsense, Lu Dayou roared, what an unsuccessful child.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little embarrassing, and Aunt Zhang Ju had no choice but to spread out her hands, dial a few mahjong pieces in front of her, and said: "Second Brother Lu, it's not me who is a younger brother and sister who said you, you and the second sister really have to change their thinking." At the end of the year, I know that I can earn a lot of money by staying at home and farming, and I am reluctant to spend a lot of money by farming in a hard year?

"It's not as rich as your family, but our family supports two children to study, from elementary school to college, but we have never owed foreign debts. Auntie's words naturally stung Lu Dayou's self-esteem, and he couldn't help but retort.

"Yes, we admit this, your family has no foreign debts, but what about your house? It's still a dirt house, right? The second sister has lived a good life with you for so many years?"

My aunt also lost her temper, and her words became heavier and heavier.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, several uncles hurriedly started a round: "Second brother, younger brother and sister, just say a few words." ”

The more he persuaded him, the more energetic Zhang Ju became, and he directly put his hands on his waist and said loudly: "What's the matter, I said something wrong? Second brother, you keep saying that you have cultivated a college student in your family, do you know what is the situation of college students outside now? Which factory does not have one? Aren't you working in the factory with uneducated people like us?"

"It's nice to say that it's a college student, but it's hard to say it, it's that you have spent tens of thousands of dollars for so many years, and people still listen to it. Do you really think that college students outside are working hard now, and the sun can't get wet every day, and the rain can't get wet?"

This is said in front of so many people, but it is a bit heavy. Lu Tao had the heart to refute, but after all, he was an elder, and his parents didn't speak, so where could he get his turn.

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel when they kicked their noses, Grandpa Lu Tao walked out of the room with a cane, looked at the two of them and said, "What are you shouting about here in the New Year? “

Li Zhiwei also ran away from the house, walked to Zhang Ju's side, looked angry, and was about to scold a few words, but who knew that Aunt Lu Tao's face collapsed, her eyes widened, and she directly sprinkled her anger on him.

"What about you, what do you look at? Do you want to shake your face with me? The two babies are going to school, and they don't fight all day long, look at the second brother, there is a college student in the family, you have to be like a wreck again, and the old lady will not serve at that time." ”

Fortunately, grandpa spoke, and after Zhang Ju said a few words in a crooked mouth, he put on a smiling face again: "Second brother, it was wrong for me to be a younger brother and sister just now, but you also know that I am this kind of character, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and every door on my mouth, don't go to your heart." ”

After this trouble, mahjong naturally couldn't be played, Lu Da had a stuffy stomach, and it was not good to have a seizure, and he spent the whole afternoon sitting on a stool, smoking dry cigarettes one after another.
