Chapter 58: The Black-bellied Brother (II)
It was a very happy thing to celebrate her father's birthday, but Hu Xiaoqing, who rushed from Yuanzhou to Yuzhou to celebrate her father's birthday, suffered a lot of grievances at home.
The half-sister showed off as usual how the brother-in-law who worked in the office of the administrative department was valued by his leadership, and Hu Xiaoqing did not dare to say anything. Although her boyfriend Tao Hao uses the county regiment-level senior officials' homes as vegetable gardens, a college student who has not yet graduated can be compared with the secretary of the administrative office?
The brother-in-law who arrived later was cultivated, spoke to her politely, and gave her father a cake, but after drinking a cup of tea, he said that there was an urgent matter in the office, and he left without even eating. However, Hu Xiaoqing, who went to the balcony to collect clothes, clearly heard his brother-in-law talking on his mobile phone downstairs, which made his friends feel at ease, saying that he would be there in ten minutes.
Hu Xiaoqing's father is from Suzhou Province, her mother is from Yuanzhou, and her stepmother is from Henan Province. Stepmother's birthday, no matter how busy her brother-in-law is, she will eat here, and her father will give a cake on his birthday and go to play mahjong?
Hu Xiaoqing, who felt humiliated, didn't say anything to her father, turned around and went back to the house to dismantle all the two Chinese cigarettes confiscated by Mr. Peng last time, even the plastic paper on the cigarette box, and then took it to her father as a birthday gift, saving her stepmother from taking it back to her sister to smoke for her brother-in-law.
The father who was not old and decrepit didn't say anything, just sighed and rubbed her head, but saw her sister who gave Chinese cigarettes and said cool things through the door. She said that she really had filial piety, and worked hard for two or three months just to make the old man smoke a good cigarette, and said that why did the poor smoke such a good cigarette, and it was not good to have this money to buy something, even if it was to buy a few catties of meat, it would be more affordable than this.
Today is his father's birthday, and Hu Xiaoqing endured his anger and didn't hear it, but his stepmother nagged again during dinner. said that her half-brother is difficult to get into high school, and she has to spend money to study in a self-financed high school, and she will have to go to a self-financed university in the future. There is such a boy in the family, no matter how difficult it is, he has to grit his teeth and send it, and he can no longer live in a factory that can't even pay his salary.
The sister who was showing off her husband's ability just now and said cool things about her immediately cried poor, saying that she and her brother-in-law's house had not yet been renovated, so how could she have the money to help the family?
has only one younger brother, and he is still counting on him to provide for his father's retirement, Hu Xiaoqing did not shirk his responsibilities like his sister, and promised to help the family in the future, but her stepmother took over and asked her to sell the house in Yuanzhou.
After eating, her father said the same, saying that her sister and brother-in-law couldn't count on it, the factory only paid half a year's salary last year, and he was not in good health, and the family really had no money.
Dad said so, what else can Hu Xiaoqing do? A man in his forties looks older than a 60-year-old person, so do you still want him to go to the street to pick up rags?
But she just felt wronged, her sister was sent by her father to study in a technical school, and her grandmother picked up the rags when she went to a health school. In the end, my younger brother needs money to study, and the sister in the class and the brother-in-law who has a good unit don't care, but I want her to be a person who has a unit and no job, and she also wants her to sell her grandmother's house?
Wronged and aggrieved left home, aggrieved got on the train and rushed to Yuanzhou to work, the more aggrieved Hu Xiaoqing thought about it, and the more aggrieved Hu Xiaoqing had to force a smile, for fear that he would accidentally cry and make people see jokes.
The train finally arrived in Yuanzhou, and the aggrieved Hu Xiaoqing walked out of the ticket gate, and at a glance saw Tao Hao, who was waving at her, and sobbed silently when he threw himself into his arms. This cry frightened Tao Hao, hugged her and comforted her, and waited until she was tired of crying before she dared to ask what was wrong.
After crying, Hu Xiaoqing, who was snuggled in her boyfriend's arms, felt much better, took the initiative to grab his bracelet on her waist, and then pressed it with her own hand, looking up at her little face with tears, and urged with a smile: "It's nothing, I just want to cry, let's go home."
"Are you alright?"
Hu Xiaoqing, who relied on him so well and felt very down-to-earth, smiled like a flower, hooked his neck with his other little hand and walked forward, and said coquettishly: "What do you want?
That's impossible, she's not even twenty years old, not even the legal age.
"How old do you think you are?"
"Bigger than you anyway!"
Big ghost, Hu Xiaoqing didn't look at his ID card, obviously a month and seven days younger than her, but she just pretended to forget. The two went out of the square in front of the station and found Tao Hao's broken car, the smiling Hu Xiaoqing took the initiative to sit on the beam in front, and Tao Hao was also happy to hold such a beautiful girlfriend in his arms.
The bicycle rode out for one hundred and eighty meters, and Hu Xiaoqing, who had long flowing hair, stroked his hair and hesitated: "Tao Hao, tell you something?"
It was rare for her to open her mouth, and Tao Hao, who was intoxicated with gentleness, immediately expressed his loyalty, and said resolutely: "Although your old man commands, if it can be done, we will do it immediately, and if it can't be done, we will find a way to do it, and there is no way to do it."
"How?"
"You took me for it. ”
"Don't smile, I'll tell you about serious things!"
"Please!"
The conflicted Hu Xiaoqing talked to Tao Hao about her family, and although she was worried, she still spoke out honestly.
In the third-tier cities in the mainland for more than nine years, the social atmosphere is not as civilized as that of coastal and developed cities, whether it is Tao Hao or Hu Xiaoqing or couples in school, most people think about it for a long time when they fall in love. Since she is with Tao Hao, she wants the two to be together forever, and it is better for him to know these things first than later.
What kind of difficult thing is this? In the opinion of Tao Hao, who is the head of the righteous word, this is what should be done, otherwise how can you say that a son-in-law should be a half-son.
"Really?"
Tao Hao hurriedly promised: "This is still fake, don't say that the money you earn, even the money I earn belongs to you, you can do whatever you want." Do you know what the old saying is: Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat!"
Now Hu Xiaoqing was relieved, turned his head and took the initiative to kiss him, and he was even happier that this kid couldn't find the north. When he went to see off Zhao Dongming in the early morning, this kid took this matter as pride and showed it off to his brother.
However, in the eyes of the suspicious Zhao Dongming, this Hu Xiaoqing is too scheming, and it is far from being as simple as being beautiful. Because in the books he has read, people in love will show the best side to each other, and conversely, that is, the bad side will be hidden from the other party. Moreover, Zhao Dongming thinks that as a brother, he must dissuade what he thinks is wrong, and it is Tao Hao's business to listen or not, but it is his obligation to be a brother if he does not remind him.
Coincidentally, Tao Hao is the kind of person who 'brothers are like siblings, and women are not clothes', he doesn't believe Zhao Dongming's words, but he doesn't want his good brother to misunderstand his girlfriend.
"No way, you yourself say, 'It is better to believe in a book than to have no book.'" ”
"Peaches, don't have the heart to hurt others."
Tao Hao knew that the latter sentence was 'the heart of guarding against people is indispensable', but what does this have to do with it? It doesn't matter if others misunderstand Xiaoqing, Dongming is his brother, how can he let his brother look down on Xiaoqing?
Therefore, when the two were waiting for the train at the station, Tao Hao whispered to Zhao Dongming about the relationship between the two, and asked rhetorically: "Dongming, Xiaoqing took the initiative to be his girlfriend in order to repay Mu Jianjun for helping her grandmother with the funeral; Do you think such a girl is as scheming as you say?"
Zhao Dongming, who has always speculated about people's hearts in sinister places, was moved, not because Hu Xiaoqing gave Mu Jianjun 20,000 yuan, and it was not much to spend 20,000 yuan on a funeral in the city, but he was moved that Tao Hao would actually do something bad to harm himself and others. At the beginning, Tao Hao said that as long as he was admitted to graduate school, he didn't have to worry about the tuition fee, and he was moved but didn't take it too seriously. However, he didn't expect that in this world, there are really people who put righteous words before sharp words, and there are people who can give up beautiful girls for righteous words.
"Peaches, I'm convinced, people like you are rare animals!"
Zhao Dongming's words made Tao Hao reveal his true nature, and said proudly: "Of course, come out and mix, the most important thing is a righteous word!"
"Bullshit, you're in good fortune, you met someone like this, try someone else?"
", is Lao Tzu that stupid?"
That's right, this kid is righteous but like a ghost, it's not easy to let him be deceived, Zhao Dongming gave him a thumbs up, and took his backpack on the train to the provincial capital.
Everyone has their own fate, this guy Peaches is a person with a good fate, and he Zhao Dongming has to rely on his own struggle.
