Seeing that the year 2005 was coming to an end, I took out the key to the second house in Shuimu Jiayuan and threw it to Cheng Shaojie and said: "You go to find someone to decorate these two houses, you can urge as much as possible if you are fine, and we will move in before the Spring Festival."

These two sets of recipes for Shuimu Homes are the compensation I want when I demolish the yard bungalow of my house, which is close to the campus of the county No. 1 Middle School, and it will be more convenient for the two children to go to school after moving over.

Cheng Shaojie looked at me in surprise and asked, "You bought a second house at once?" ”

I glared at him and said, "I didn't buy it, it was the second set of compensation that my family asked for when they were demolished when they had a bungalow."

Cheng Shaojie was a little surprised and said, "You are so rich? ”

I looked at him: "You think I really like your million dollars?" ”

"And what do you like about me?" Cheng Shaojie asked.

"Do you think I have a crush on you?"

"Not at all? George said I'm the kind of man you like, isn't it? ”

"Ho, my self-confidence is bursting! Where did it come from? ”

"Actually, I've always thought I'm pretty good, I don't think there's anything great about those rich people who are officials, it's just that I lack self-confidence in front of you, still, what kind of man do you like?"

"Backbone, arrogance, culture, education, aren't you?"

Cheng Shaojie said with a smile: "A bit like me, I have never been a bad breed, and now none of the young men in our twenties on our team are my opponents, if you want to say that I am also a high school student, it is not bad, but it is not close to the cultured and educated you require."

I pouted and said, "It's not almost, it's too far, and it's also something to be proud of fighting all over Linshui Village, stupid or not!" It's not a bad race, it may also be a second stunned, and backbone and arrogance are essentially not the same thing, backbone and arrogance are connotations, do you understand? ”

Cheng Shaojie hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll understand when you say it" and then said with a bad smile: "Director Zheng said that you love books and paintings, and sometimes you like to get together with those sissy men who hang book bags, and there are ......" He didn't say anything halfway through the words.

"What else? What else does he say next? I asked.

"No," Cheng Shaojie hurriedly stopped.

"It's no wonder, I know he can't say some good things, and he doesn't learn how to make a mess, okay? Your son looks down on you? I glared at him

Cheng Shaojie stiffened his expression and said, "In addition to Cheng Jiahui, who else can he look up to?" ”

"He is very arrogant, but he has capital, he is constantly learning and thinking, he is always improving, he is still young, but he will be an outstanding man in the future."

Cheng Shaojie looked at me speechlessly, and said for a while: "You two hold each other!" ”

I don't know how he could have said such a sentence, staring at him for a long time, speechless.

In the cold and freezing ushered in the Spring Festival, our family also moved into a new house, the room decoration room according to my requirements as simple as possible, without any complicated decoration. Because my parents are old, I want the first floor, and I live door-to-door with my parents, and I eat three meals a day at my parents' house, and it is also very convenient to take care of each other. The new home is very close to the school, and it is much easier for our two children to go to school, and we are much more relieved.

After the weather froze, there was no work in the field, Cheng Shaojie basically lived in the city, cleaned up the room, helped his parents cook for the children, Cheng Shaojie and Cheng Jiahui had more contact, and the relationship between father and son seemed to have eased a lot.

Before the holiday, taking advantage of Huang Liqin's opportunity to go to the city to buy New Year's goods, Cheng Jiahui made an appointment with her to meet, and had a meal together, I gave Cheng Jiahui some money to sell some things to his mother.

Cheng Jiahui was in an even worse mood after meeting his mother and came back, and he kept his face calm and didn't speak. I understand his mood very well, not to mention Cheng Jiahui, even I am very uncomfortable with this kind of scene where the mother and son have to hide it like this. Cheng Jiahui said that he did not buy anything for his mother, but only gave all the money to his mother, and he felt that his mother did not bring much money with her when she came to buy New Year's goods. In fact, I wanted to give her more money, but I was afraid that giving too much would be too obvious and Zhang Dezhu would notice it, which would cause her unnecessary trouble, Cheng Jiahui also understood this truth, but he also became more resentful because of this.

He looked at me with an almost desperate look and asked, "Am I not able to help my mother no matter how good I do?"

"Your mom said she was beaten again?"

"No, she said that person doesn't dare to beat her now, she said that she is doing well, but I feel that she is doing very badly, I will not be able to go to university until next year, and I will have to go to college for four years before I can work, and I can take her out of that home. I said let her wait for me, but she said no, Auntie, in the past, I always thought that as long as I grew up and had a good life, I would take her out of that house and let her live a good life, but now I suddenly feel that I can't help her no matter what I do, and it is useless for her that I have any chance, and my efforts for so many years have been in vain."

I patted his arm, suppressed the sadness that swelled up in my heart, and said in a calm voice: "No, Jiahui, your efforts will not be in vain." You remember, in China since ancient times, the mother is more precious than the child, for your mother, the better you do, the better she will live, because of your excellence, she will feel that she has not lived in vain in this life, she will be able to stand tall and speak in front of people in the future, the worse her life is now, the higher the hope for you, you have to understand this. We will definitely be able to help her in the future, but now is not the time, she is now a member of that family, she has another child, if she is still attached, you and I cannot forcibly take her away."

Cheng Jiahui clenched his fists and looked out the window without saying a word, he couldn't do anything but be angry now, I stood beside him and quietly accompanied him, and I couldn't do anything but sympathize with me. No matter how much I want to help Cheng Jiahui, I can't help Huang Liqin, she already has her own family and children, no matter how bad Zhang Dezhu is, for Huang Liqin, it is a home, and for a rural woman, it is a complete life, and it can't be as simple as Cheng Jiahui thinks to take her away and get rid of her. Cheng Jiahui still doesn't understand these truths.

After meeting his mother, the relationship between Cheng Jiahui and Cheng Shaojie dropped to the freezing point again, and he almost never looked at Cheng Shaojie at home. Cheng Shaojie knew that Jiahui had gone to see Huang Liqin, so he could only remain silent about his son's bad attitude. This qiē was caused by him, and the bitter wine he brewed could only be drunk by himself. I'm afraid that the father and son have formed a grudge in this life, and they will never be resolved. has such an outstanding son, but he always has hatred for himself, I don't know how Cheng Shaojie feels.

Cheng Shaojie has always gotten up early, and he was very excited to see a thick snow outside, and he dressed up with great interest to go out to clear the snow, and when he heard him know the movement of Suo Suo's clothes, I also woke up from my sleepiness, and I also remembered, he pressed me on the bed and said, "You lie down for a while, why do you get up so early?" Finally, I had a rest day, and I couldn't sleep and lay down more. When I was in the detention center, the happiest time was when I was asked to come out to sweep the snow and work, and the most uncomfortable time was when I stayed in the house all day and did nothing, and then I felt that freedom was more precious than anything else, and what a joy it was to work."

I leaned on the pillow and smiled: "I have worked all my life, and now I feel that labor is happy, and I have lived a lifetime without restraint, and now I feel the preciousness of freedom.

Cheng Shaojie saw that I was in a good mood and smiled and continued: "I not only think that labor is happy, but also think that such a thick book is also very good, not as hard as I used to read, I read the three books in the prison over and over again, I think it is very interesting."

I pursed my lips and smiled, and said to him: "You call Li Haoyu and Cheng Jiahui, and let the two of them go out for activities."

Listening to the rustling sound of snow clearing in front of the building, I couldn't lie down, and I walked to the window and watched the three men pushing the snow from the window.

The unit also has to clear the snow, and seeing that the time is almost up, I put on my clothes and went to the unit to clear the snow. Gao Jianguo didn't come, saying that he went out to arrest people last night and came back too late. The newly appointed instructor Cai Lin led a group of young men from the criminal police brigade to clear the snow, he was not very old and only in his thirties, and when he saw me, he smiled and said: "Sister Lin, you don't need to come, go back and rest, we will be done."

Xiao Shen, who was standing with a broom on the side and kept stomping his feet, heard it and said: "Director Cai, why are you so partial, why don't you say let me go back, I will freeze to death."

I took the push board and said while pushing the snow: "You are stupid, Director Cai thinks I am too old, I am afraid that I will be held responsible for throwing the old lady down, and keeping you a flower girl here is to encourage the morale of the soldiers, don't you know that men and women are not tired of working together?" ”

Cai Lin chuckled and said to Xiao Shen, "Can you stand there and drink the cool breeze without getting cold?" It's not cold to work hard, you see why Sister Lin didn't call it cold, the flower girl work quickly, otherwise don't think about Missy Missi at noon."

Xiao Shen picked up a broom and raised the snow on the ground towards Cai Lin, and he and the people around him dodged with a smile. I smiled and inhaled the pure air into my chest, and my whole body felt refreshed
