Dad's hesitation
Although when facing strangers, Wang He's little face is always cold, and he doesn't like to laugh very much, but we have been picking mushrooms and picking bird eggs together recently, Wang He's expression still hasn't changed much, but when he looks at me, his eyes are shining.
There are a lot of mushrooms in the woods today, we picked for a while, the small basket was full, and began to make steamed buns on the grass, after eating, carrying a small basket, began to walk home, our home is not far from the entrance of the village, Grandma Zhang stood at the entrance of the village and waited for us, saw us come back, and immediately greeted us, Wang He's small basket was full of mushrooms, and his face was full of smiles.
Grandma Zhang looked at me and said, "Big girl, let's eat at grandma's house today, grandma will make you fried pork slices with mushrooms,"
"Grandma Zhang, I won't eat, you and Wang He can eat, my mother should wait for me to eat at home,"
It's not easy to eat a meal of meat now, and Grandma Zhang's family doesn't have much income, although Wang He is a year older than me, but he looks about the same as me, I thought about it for a while and decisively refused.
When I got home, I showed my mother the mushrooms I had picked, and recently my mother's interest was to steam the mushrooms I picked, because my spirit penetrated, and my mother now began to think that mushrooms could make money.
My mother took the mushrooms to the kitchen and came back to me and said, "Big girl, your ducks have been brought back today, there are ten of them, all of them are alive, you can go and see them, in the Westinghouse."
It's been a month, and it's time for the ducklings to come out, I looked at the 10 ducks in the Westinghouse basket, and I felt very excited to see the RMB.
Mom has already fed the ducks, the sauce mushrooms eaten at night, just after eating Wang He came, and brought a bowl of vegetables, there was a lot of meat in it, my mother wanted to accept it, "Aunt Wu, you take it, my grandma specially asked me to send it, if you don't accept it, my grandma should be angry," Wang He put down the bowl and left,
After a while, my father came back, after eating, my mother poured out the remaining mushroom fried meat, put a few big sugar buns in the bowl, and asked me to send the bowl back to Grandma Zhang, this is a kind of courtesy exchange in the countryside, when I came back, my mother was chatting with my father, "This afternoon, my brother called the village, they want to rebuild the house in the village, and did not find a suitable carpenter, and asked if you want to do this work, the work in the village, you can do it yourself for a few months, 10 yuan a day is not a lot, you can live in the child's grandmother's house,"
My mother wants my dad to go, and I can't get money for working at home for a year, and I'm still aggrieved, but my dad has to decide this matter himself, and if my dad doesn't want to go, no one can do it.
"Dad, why don't you go, if you are the only carpenter there, then you can also take apprentices like grandpa, and you can also make money," This is a good opportunity to get out of the backyard,
After listening to my words, my mother's eyes flashed, and my father thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, I'll go to the backyard to discuss with my eldest brother," and then went to the backyard
I saw that my mother was unhappy, but I didn't say anything, I felt that I had to let my father go, there was really no development at home, and the family needed money now,
Dad can only develop his own career if he goes there, this is how he was in his previous life, I don't want anything to happen, now it's just earlier than before, but it doesn't affect anything.
After a while, my father came back, looked at my mother and said, "Xiaoli, I don't want to go, I also know that this opportunity is rare, but my parents are getting older, and I don't want to be too far away from home, so I can still help you do some work at home." ”
"You are also working at home, and you can't get money for a year when you're so tired, the eldest girl is four years old, and she's still so young, the family can't eat a good meal a year, looking at the children are pitiful, and the eldest girl is going to school, as long as the child studies well, I must let her go to school, how can the family go to school if there is no money, we have moved out for so many years, there are foreign debts, and you still live in a mud house, you know your father and your mother, and you don't see them treat you as a son" The mother said, and cried
"Xiaoli, don't cry, I'm not not going, I'm just talking about my thoughts, the eldest brother is too tired to work at home, I can still help him, and the family's debts will be paid off slowly, but I don't have the ability to let you live in a big house with the eldest girl." Dad said a little sadly
"Everything is your eldest brother, have you considered us, do you know what the eldest girl suffers," the mother shouted to the father
"It's not easy for the eldest brother, I have to support our parents, and I have to support the big family in the backyard, I should share a little for them, and the eldest brother is very good to me"
"It's not easy for your eldest brother, it's hard for your eldest brother, so you can use your hard-earned money to buy meat for a large family in the backyard,"
"Big brother, they also eat meat occasionally, big brother told me, the old man also wants to eat meat, otherwise our family should buy some meat to eat,"
"I still buy meat, our family doesn't have a penny now, how can we have money to buy meat, you can't get a penny back after a year's work, it's better to farm at home, so as not to make money to help others support their families." ”
"You're talking more and more ugly," Dad was a little annoyed
"Am I talking ugly, your eldest brother gives us 200 yuan a year, or is it the result that we have asked for it many times, how much work have you done this year, and you only earned 200 yuan, why don't others work with him anymore, spending other people's hard-earned money, and not afraid of retribution. ”
"Isn't the eldest brother running out of money now, and it's not that he won't give it to us, this is considered borrowed money, and the eldest brother said that he would pay it back later. ”
"I really haven't seen him give it back to us, I guess people don't want to give it to us, and you take it seriously if you lie" I think my mother is the truth, at least for so many years, I haven't seen the money they paid back.
"Isn't the eldest brother raising the elderly, let's spend less. ”
"Don't forget, our family still has foreign debts that have not been repaid, our family lives in the most dilapidated mud house in the village, your parents kicked us out, but they didn't give us a penny, and your daughter didn't dare to eat even a piece of meat when she went to the backyard to eat."
Dad actually knows something, but there is no way, he can't be too concerned with the old man, Dad silently didn't speak, and this war ended like this.
"I don't want to say it, think about it yourself, I don't want to care about it, you don't want to go if you like it. "After saying that, my mother ignored my father,
Mom and Dad stopped talking, and I wasn't ready to participate in their war, Dad still has a little hesitation now, I have to think about what to do, Dad must go this time.
