"It's okay to keep it, you will ask your mother to find you a red cloth to wrap it up!" Fang Donghua instructed that the color red is not only festive, but also has the meaning of warding off evil spirits in the village.

After following the customs, Fang Dajun immediately went to his mother and asked for a piece of red cloth, which was dyed red with linen cloth and was worthless, and was generally used by villagers to make clothes for children.

After wrapping up the small black lump, he put it on the cabinet in the room, and was ready to wash his hands and eat, the meal at home in the countryside is usually late, but today it is early.

Men in the countryside are absolutely happy, not to mention doing housework, even if the broom falls down, you don't have to help it, he is the second male in the family, the future head of the family, this is not early on the table, there is no wine, just to talk to his father.

Although his father is not good at words, he still talks a lot with him, and the dishes and chopsticks have been arranged, but in front of a plate of sour radish, Fang Dajun has no appetite for chopsticks.

After thinking about it, he pondered and said, "Old man, I think I should let the fourth and fifth sisters go to study." "The two girls are helping in the kitchen, and Fang Dajun has no scruples when he talks.

"Alas, you are really more sensible, it's not that the old man is reluctant to spend money to send his fourth sister to study, you think, after two years, you have to think about finding you a daughter-in-law, and then it will cost money inside and out. Although there is only one son in our family, if the fourth and fifth sisters are all studying, and you have a son in the back, you will not be able to afford three people to study......" Fang Donghua said helplessly.

Fang Dajun only then figured out what happened, let's put it this way, before the second sister got married, all the wages she earned had to be handed over to her parents, and after she got married, she had to send things to the family here during the New Year's holidays, otherwise she would be unfilial. This is equivalent to taking advantage of him as an only son, and his parents' property will be left to him. But on the other hand, as a man, even after he gets married, he has to afford his younger brothers and sisters who are not married, unless his family is full of daughters, then he has to be treated by his son-in-law, which is the custom in the village.

It's like if he wants to take Li Yulan, he will bear some of his younger siblings, because Li Yulan is the eldest daughter, although she has a younger brother, she is too young.

But now that he is almost an adult, it is impossible for his brother-in-law to bear his affairs, so his father is actually thinking about him and not letting him increase the burden on his future family, or rather, his parents want to spend all the money they earn on him.

After learning about the situation, he could only shout for the second sister and the two younger sisters that it was unfair, his parents were too partial, but he was the party, could he still let his parents not continue to hurt him? This feeling of being extremely pampered by parents is very refreshing!

But he still had something to say: "Old man, I think it's better to let the two younger sisters go to study, at most eight yuan a semester, and sixteen yuan a year." They can earn work after school, and they don't delay. When I get better, I will go to learn technology, and I will definitely be able to earn more money in the future. ”

"That's what you think?" Fang Donghua asked with a serious expression.

"Of course, they are my sisters, read more books, so as not to suffer in the future." Fang Dajun said equally seriously.

The father smiled, rarely smiled so happily, "Baby, the old man is happy, you are a filial child, you can love your sister, and when your parents are old, you will also have a fall." ”

Fang Dajun hurriedly said: "Old man, don't worry, when I make a lot of money, I will let you enjoy the happiness and repair the building for you." ”

"Okay, the old man is happy!" Fang Donghua wiped his tears as he spoke, whether it is parents or children in the countryside, they are actually not good at expressing family affection, Fang Dajun is only talking about psychological words at this time, but in Fang Donghua's ears, he is very happy, being a parent is nothing more than wanting to see their children in harmony and filial piety, this is the most fundamental thing.

"Old man, don't cry, what a big man!" Fang Dajun said happily.

These words were a bit overstepping, but Fang Donghua was even happier when he heard it, if the relationship between father and son was not in place, the son would not be able to say such things. He has a little trouble with his eldest brother, and since he was a child, he has been competing to see who is more capable, and he can be regarded as winning in this regard, and he can get a big job every day. But in terms of giving birth to a son, the eldest was shot three times in a row, and gave birth to three sons with handles in a row. And he gave birth to two daughters in a row, which made him unable to raise his head when he saw the boss, and it was not until after the birth of the military baby that he saved face and spoke loudly outside.

The patriarchal thinking of the older generation is incomprehensible to outsiders!

At this time, the second sister brought the vegetables to the table, a large pot of chicken stewed yellow flower root, yellow flower is a wild plant, a special product in Sichuan, the flowers can also be stewed and eaten after drying, the taste is very good, and the yellow flowers dried in the city in later generations can be sold for dozens of yuan a catty. But at present, the yellow flowers are grown in the mountains, there is no special cultivation, resulting in the picking of flowers is not easy, so the villagers have to dig the yellow flower root to stew, the little finger is big one by one, the taste is not bad, Chinese medicine says that this is a tonic, stewed chicken meat is very nutritious.

Looking at the chicken soup, Fang Dajun's appetite was instantly shocked, but when he saw the second sister's expectant eyes, he had to suppress his appetite, and as soon as the second sister left, he thought about it and said, "Old man, I still have something I want to discuss with you." ”

"What's the matter!" Fang Donghua said that, he stirred a few times in the basin with chopsticks, picked out the big chicken legs, and then sandwiched them into his son's bowl.

In the past, it was the same for killing chickens, leaving only a big chicken leg uncut into pieces, so that he could eat alone, but that was before, how could he eat alone at this time.

Fang Dajun immediately shouted, "Fourth sister and fifth sister, come over for dinner." ”

"Brother, we're here!" Soon the two girls ran into the house with their noses and climbed up the high bench, the two girls had already slandered, and they kept circling around the pot, but they didn't catch a mouthful of soup.

Children in this period are particularly easy to support, and children over two years old know that they can climb on the table and eat with chopsticks, just because there are too many brothers and sisters, and their parents can't take care of them at all.

"Come on, you divide the chicken legs, my brother has a bad appetite and can't eat it!" Fang Dajun said that he picked the chicken leg into the fifth sister's bowl, although he was poor at this time, he still had the dishes and chopsticks for eating at home, because the commune brigade would burn bricks and tiles, so he could naturally burn coarse bowls.

As a result, the fifth sister looked at the old man, Fang Donghua nodded, and the little girl grabbed the chicken leg and took a small bite, and handed it to the fourth sister, the fourth sister also took a small bite, and handed it back to the fifth sister, and the two girls licked their mouths like this and ate happily one by one.

Fang Dajun looked at it happily, he was really happy, he had no brothers and sisters before the crossing, and now he could take care of his sister, and he immediately experienced an indescribable sense of happiness.

When I came back to my senses, I saw that there was an extra piece of meat in the bowl, and there was a round bone in the middle of the meat, which was clearly the shape of the chicken thigh after it was cut into pieces.

"Son, eat quickly, you are still sick, eat more to get better." Fang Donghua said dotingly.

Fang Dajun nodded vigorously and put the chicken nuggets into his mouth, fragrant, very fragrant, this is the most fragrant meat he has ever eaten in his two lives, there is no one.

"Old man, you can eat it too, so much chicken, you can't finish it." Fang Dajun said vaguely with his mouth wrapped.

But when I saw my father take out the chicken head, he took it with both hands and ate it very seriously and slowly, until the dishes were ready. Seeing this, Fang Dajun could only silently swear that sooner or later, one day he would let his family have endless chicken every day.

After such a hiatus, I forgot about my second sister's schooling, got it, ate first, and was looking for an opportunity to explain to my father when I was full.

ps: Monday begged for the support of the villagers' recommendation votes!
