Chapter Seventy-Five: Family Matters Part 1 and Two (II)

?? Life in the countryside is very monotonous, and life in rural schools is also very monotonous, every day is the classroom, the home is two points and one line, at most there is a playground, as long as you get used to it. Li Jiaming is accustomed to this monotonous and tranquil life, reading, teaching his sister, supervising his brothers, then eating and sleeping, and taking them home for two crazy days on weekends.

This kind of tranquil life is what Wu Jianguo, who came to vacation with Li Chuanlin, yearns for, looking at Dong Hao who is rounding up mandarin fish and herring on the rapids, as well as the children who are shouting by the river, they feel very comfortable.

"Brother, I got it!"

As soon as the words fell, the little sister holding a herring weighing a pound was slapped in the face by the tail of the fish and fell into the river, making a large splash, and then was pulled up by the full sister who had just gotten up from the water.

The delicate Manmei will also take care of people, pulling the little sister who is already a soup chicken, pointing at Dong Hao, who is smiling evilly, and scolding: "Brother Hao is a bad person! Sister, we will not be able to catch it until the fish is thrown ashore." ”

"Well, Brother Hao is the worst, such a big fish must be delicious and delicious. ”

Li Chuanlin, who was about to run over to inspect, was startled, and stopped again when he saw that his daughter was smiling from ear to ear and catching the small fish thrown on the pebbles.

"Mingya, look at it!"

"It's okay, Wenwen be careful, this fish has spines. ”

"Brother, throw it this way, throw it this way. ”

Estimating that there were enough fish, Wu Jianguo, who abided by the fishermen's tradition, told everyone to collect the nets, and Li Jiaming, who was not having fun, took a group of little guys to swim, but the poor little sister and the full sister couldn't, dragging Dong Hao's ears that had just hurt them in the water, and insisted that he sit on his back as a turtle, on the grounds that they had just fallen.

The big river is not a swimming pool, put a swimming ring on this little guy, and the hairy stone, which is already as tall as Dong Hao, is still carefully protected by his side.

Man Mei, who was having a good time, grabbed Dong Hao's two ears and said triumphantly: "Sister, do you want to see my turtle swim fast? Hurry up, hurry up, the fifth brother will catch up, and I'll give you a lollipop later!"

It's really amazing, people who grow up by the sea are better water than children who grow up by the river, and children with a small leather ball on their backs can still swim, Li Jiaming and they are deeply admired. After the full sister sat down, the little sister sat down and the golden sister sat and then the full sister sat down, until Dong Hao was too tired to do anything, the two little guys gave up and asked the foreign big sister next to them to help them wash their hair.

"Sister Tingting, is Brother Hao obedient?"

These three children are so funny, the petite and delicate Jiang Tingting joked: "Disobedient and often make mistakes." ”

Man Mei was too impressed by the tragic lesson of the past, and hurriedly came up with an idea: "If you are disobedient, you are not a good child, if you are not a good child, you have to beat him with a small bamboo shoot, and if you beat him a few times, he will be obedient." ”

The little sister who was beaten also agreed again and again: "Well, Brother Mao Tong was disobedient before, and my brother beat him a few times, but now he is obedient, let him catch dragonflies and catch dragonflies!"

"Hey, Jiaming, how did you say Aunt Fang was used to living?"

Auntie, what's she not used to, her husband and four sons are by her side, washing clothes, cleaning, cooking, and stir-frying every day, and she doesn't even have time to stop, how can she be like Aunt Hongying, who doesn't think about the children at home or chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and cows. When the fourth brother was admitted to college and the aunt was not so busy, she knew a lot of friends and was used to the bustle of the county.

"Hey, if you want to talk about it like this, Aunt Fang's life is good, and she will suffer for more than ten or twenty years, and she will be blessed in the future!"

It doesn't matter if her life is good or not, she has to find a way to persuade the aunts to move to the county seat, and now they are still young and can adapt to life in the city. After seven or eight years, how can you adapt to it if you move to the county?

When the three brothers returned home after taking a bath, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and Dong Hao and the others also left early.

Li Jiaming changed his clothes, checked his sisters' homework, let them watch cartoons by themselves, and went downstairs to discuss with his second aunt. For a long time, two women have been looking at five mud houses, and the nearest house is two or three miles away, what is the long-term solution? Although the security in the mountains is good, what if something happens?

The weather was very hot, and the aunts were all in the corridor to cool off, and when it came to this, Aunt Hongying shook her head again and again. Business is good and bad, and if you make money now, you can guarantee that you will make money in the future? Besides, if the man earns live money outside the house, and the woman works in the house, then it is safe! If the business does not make money one day, or if the money is enough, how comfortable would it be to return to Huangniping to live?

Li Jiaming was speechless, the aunts were a group of rural women who had never seen the world, and they only knew how to deposit money in the bank if they had money in their hands, how could they be reasonable?

In their minds, they all dream of building seven or eight three-story brick houses in Huangniping, and they can show off their husbands and cubs in front of the women in a few nearby houses or their mother's family.

Don't think that this is short-sightedness, this means that everyone has his own way of living. In their eyes, being able to live richer than their sisters and nearby families is a face-saving and happy thing!

"Jiaming, the mud house will fall down if no one lives in it, even if we make a brick house in the future, someone has to live in it!"

Aunt Cha Ju, who was carrying a plate of chrysanthemum bean tea, said, "I'm not worried about the house, it's mainly the soil." You sons and sisters will all study in the future, don't rely on the land to survive, what about the military and the big dogs? Without the land, our Li family will have no roots!"

The second aunt, who was helping her younger brother and sister with convulsions, rubbed her feet, sighed, and said helplessly: "Mingya, there are some things you don't know, I used to hear my father-in-law say that our Li family has been bullied by the people of our village. They did the most volunteer work and earned the least of their share, and when it came time to divide the land and land, we eight men would get less than the six of them. ”

Aunt Hongying also sighed and said: "Don't you know, I heard Chuanmeng say that when the eldest father-in-law and the second father-in-law went to repair the reservoir in a large section, there were many people in the whole village, and even the sisters had to go." If it weren't for the illness of the third father-in-law, he would be gone.

Hey, Chaju is right, the soil is the foundation. Back then, the eldest father-in-law and the second father-in-law were gone, and the village confiscated our more land, because they exchanged their lives for it, and no one wanted to hurt that yin virtue. It doesn't make sense, now that life is better, we don't want to be children and grandchildren anymore!"

Li Jiaming nodded silently, and no longer persuaded the aunts to move to the street or go to the county seat. Can the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt not see that the brick house is made in Huangniping, but it doesn't really play a big role? I made money in my previous life, took my cousins and them to do business and make a fortune, lived in a mansion and drove a luxury car in a big city, and in the end didn't they come back one by one to build houses and repair graves?

If everyone has money and moves away one by one, who will take care of the graves of their father-in-law, father-in-law, and mother-in-law? If Li Jiaming chooses by himself, no matter where he is in a hundred years, he will want to come back and sleep next to his parents.

Forget it, the older generation says 'one time, two lives, three feng shui, four readings, five yin virtues', and the aunts are willing to live like this, so let's live like this. Anyway, they are all in their forties, and the decoration business can be done for more than a few years, and when they can't do it anymore, they are indeed more comfortable living in Huangniping than in the county.
