The adults quarreled, but life had to go on.

The aunt, who has been despised by the villagers for more than ten days, has once again won the first place in the county's second junior high school mathematics, Chinese, and English competitions since the fourth brother, and straightened her waist again. Even if the concubines didn't greet her, the children walked around her, and the aunt's waist was still straight.

Li Jiaming must continue to be his good son, good brother, good nephew, good nephew, good brother, good teacher, and good student. In the midterm exam, he won the first place in the class, which had no gold content, and there were only eleven people in the class. He was also identified by the school as a candidate to participate in the fifth grade mathematics competition in the township, which is still not golden, because there are 31 people in the township participating at the same time.

However, the aunt finally became more affectionate to Li Jiaming's nephew, and stopped giving him a look. Since being despised by the whole village, only this nephew still politely and thoughtfully calls her 'aunt'. So much so that one day, after the fourth brother finished correcting his second year of junior high school math test paper, he said in a low voice: "Jiaming, thank you." ”

"Huh?"

Li Jiaming was stunned for a while, and then said with a smile: "Fourth brother, my yes (dad) is also the same as my aunt, I always leave the best food for me and my sister." Every time after the New Year, I have never been willing to eat the fruits of the family's hospitality, and they are all reserved for me and my sister to eat. I saw that my aunt kept it for you to eat every time she picked up the eggs, and I and my uncle were reluctant to eat them, so I remembered that I was the same. ”

This is really not to deal with the fourth brother, but Li Jiaming's true thoughts, in other words, to put it mildly, it is called 'parents who are all in the world'. Uncle and aunt did go too far, but hateful people also have pity. Can they use a little bit of the cheapness they have on themselves? Isn't it all spent on four sons?

Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace, this is all poverty!

The fourth brother's face darkened, and he was silent for a while, and then he said strangely: "Jiaming, sometimes I have an illusion that you are not like a twelve-year-old, but like a twenty-two year old, and you are much more sensible than me." ”

The fourth brother's words, Li Jiaming didn't know how to deal with it, this monster is too demonic, if you don't deal with it well, you will show your feet, and you have to rack your brains to find excuses. But I don't know why, the eldest sister who deliberately sat next to her with insoles tonight said casually: "Bodhisattva bless!" Jia Ming's fall was good, not only made his braincase smarter, but also sensible. ”

What Li Jiaming didn't expect was that the fourth brother actually agreed with this statement, "Well, maybe the gods blessed him." ”

Li Jiaming was stunned, the fourth brother would actually believe in gods and ghosts?

"Well, a religion without science is blind, and a science without religion is a cripple. When you read more in the future, you will know that science is just a more reasonable explanation of objective things, and it is not as absolutely correct as what the textbooks say. Well, Newton's three laws, which we're learning, in quantum mechanics, are a joke. ”

Goblin! It's so demonic, no wonder he can go to the University of California to be a tenured professor, no wonder he can win the annual award of Science magazine! As for the fourth brother's insight far beyond his age, Li Jiaming also admired him so much that he could only look up at his light.

The fourth brother's words, the eldest sister didn't understand, and she didn't want to understand either, she just wanted to know what the fourth aunt said to Li Jiaming's maternal uncle some time ago, who was right and who was wrong. asked Li Jiaming, he said that he was just a little man, how do you know if his mother's words are right? asked the fourth aunt, she said that what Jiaming's maternal uncle said was also reasonable, but she didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

Li Jiaming, who was packing up the test papers, was shocked, he didn't expect that the eldest sister with thick nerves would actually ask such a question in front of the fourth brother. My eldest sister, the villain of your old man's mouth is the fourth brother's own mother!

But what made Li Jiaming even more unexpected was that the fourth brother did not feel embarrassed at all, but said in a calm tone: "Both of them are right, but the angle is different." ”

"Huh? How so? ”

The fourth brother continued to say calmly as if he was discussing academic issues: "The fourth aunt is the lowest cadre in the company, just a little stronger than the workers on the production line, and her social status determines that she can only prioritize survival, so she must be kind to others and try to minimize conflicts with people." Jiaming's maternal uncle doesn't have to think about survival, and this matter has nothing to do with him, so he looks at it from the perspective of a bystander, but sees it more comprehensively.

In the same way, what my father and mother did was wrong, whether it was morally or ethically wrong, but in the eyes of those of us who are sons, isn't it that the grace of nurturing is more important than the mountain? That's why the ancients said, 'The dog is not poor at home, and the son is not ugly at the mother'! ”

Wonderful, the fourth brother's words are wonderful, if he didn't want to be a monster like him, Li Jiaming really wanted to applaud, and he applauded warmly! This is a fourteen-year-old person, and I am afraid that twenty-four-year-old adults, very few can say such a truth!

The eldest sister understood, but at the same time she was even more confused, and hesitated: "Jiade, then you were still so angry that your aunt cried that day?" ”

Yes, Li Jiaming also wants to know why, it is said that the fourth brother understands these things, so why is it so blunt?

"Sister, right is right, wrong is wrong! I can understand the distress of Ye Ye and Mom, but it does not mean that I approve of their approach.

Jiaming is my younger brother, if he is still as naughty and mischievous as before, I will at most be a helping hand when he has difficulties in life in the future, and he can do his brotherly duty. But Jiaming has changed, not only is he sensible, but he also has the talent and wants to be motivated, then I will do my best to help him, this is my obligation to be a brother!

Eldest sister, honoring your parents is not unprincipled accommodation, it is not filial piety, but foolishness! ”

After a pause, the fourth brother hesitated for a moment and explained: "Actually, I just came back that day, and I didn't know that there was such a thing. If I had known about that, I'd wait until my mother felt better. These truths were also figured out by myself in front of books after I returned to school. ”

The eldest sister said yes again and again, and the stunned Li Jiaming was even more stunned, he finally began to sympathize with the uncle and aunt. This is a son, it's clearly a monster! It's all right, and it's right, but it's going to make you angry!

Bodhisattva bless, can you make this monster more round, and don't be so square and blunt?

The Bodhisattva certainly didn't hear Li Jiaming's prayers, but he finally blessed his father with good luck. The fourth uncle, who had been waiting for the worker's reply, finally received an urgent telegram from the worker, saying that a new furniture factory in Chang'an, Dongguan was about to open, and a large number of skilled workers were urgently recruited.

"Third brother, let's go to Dongguan immediately, the new factory recruits no more people than the old factory, if you are lucky, you can also get a squad leader!"

My father doesn't know what a squad leader is, but the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt understand that workers and cadres are two classes, and even the food they eat is different! As soon as the fourth aunt finished reading the telegram, she immediately went to pack her things and prepared to go back to Guangdong with the fourth uncle. She is a company clerk who can type, and the fourth uncle can drive, even if she has quit her job, as long as she is willing to go back, the factory will still give her the original treatment.

Li Jiaming was about to go to the countryside to participate in the competition, and his father, who wanted to see him take the first place, hurriedly said: "But"

At a critical time, the fourth aunt lost her usual gentleness and became a capable female white-collar worker, interrupting: "It's nothing, third brother, you go and pack two clothes immediately, let's go now, I remember that there was a car to Dongguan at eight o'clock in the evening." Second brother, you go to find the eldest sister, as soon as the car back to the county seat comes at eleven o'clock, we will leave. The opportunity is rare, if the third brother is lucky, he can fight for a few years less! ”

"Hey", the second uncle, who was about to chop wood, threw down the firewood knife in his hand and immediately ran up the mountain.

The fourth aunt quickly packed up her and her husband's luggage, took out a thick stack of money from the box, went out of the bedroom to find the second aunt, counted it one by one, and confessed: "Second sister-in-law, this is four thousand yuan, you take it and let the second brother help the third brother pay the bill first." I heard from the third brother that he still owes 3,570 yuan outside, and you can take the excess. When we and the third brother are not at home, if there is a happy event among the relatives, we will ask you to help us with the ceremony. ”

When Li Jiaming came back from school, his father and fourth uncle had already left, leaving only a tearful little sister, hiding under the old willow tree at the entrance of the village, looking longingly at the mountain col in the distance. As soon as the small team after school appeared, the little sister rushed over crying, hugging Li Jiaming and crying.

"Brother, I don't want to eat delicious food, and I don't want to wear nice clothes, can you call Yeye back?"

Li Jiaming, who was carrying an old yellow schoolbag, hugged his little sister with tears and snot in his arms, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
