On the third day of the first lunar month, it is the day when the eldest sister and the second sister's family come to string relatives, more than a dozen people of all sizes appear in the courtyard at the same time, and there are four five or six-year-old children running back and forth in the courtyard, playing and playing.

Wu Pingshun sat on a chair in the courtyard, lazily basking in the sun, chatting with his daughter-in-law and son-in-law, and handing out red envelopes to the children one by one. Looking at the children's immature smiling faces, listening to the children say crisply and loudly, "New Year's greetings to the master, thank you grandpa for the New Year's money", and then jumped up and down to the village commissary to buy what they liked.

Xiaoyun was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Dad, you didn't set off firecrackers this year, why didn't you suspect that you were listless, my mother and Xiaojun also looked ugly, did something happen." ”

Wu Pingshun took a few puffs of cigarette hard, coughed a few times, looked sad, and said helplessly, "It's not a year, it's not interesting." The heart is not clean, and there is no mind to do anything. ”

Xiaomei interjected, "Isn't it just that the stone family made a fuss for a while, we all know it, so we shouldn't take it too seriously." ”

Wu Pingshun sighed and said, "The family is unfortunate, there are two bad seeds, and they came to me at the end of the thirtieth night, and I was sick and hospitalized to toss them, and I wanted to divide the land, and I made a noise in the middle of the night, and I beat them away." I'm angry, I don't care if he's old or not, I haven't gotten out of bed for two days, and if you don't come today, I won't have the strength to get up. I've been thinking about serving the army, but I'm upset and can't sleep enough. ”

The eldest brother-in-law said slowly, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and there is no need to worry too much about housework." The more qi you have, the more harmful it will do to your body, the slower your recovery will be, and it is more important to calm down, eat and drink, and take care of your own body. Once you get angry, it's not good for you, for us, and for the army. ”

Xiaomei cried and said with a sad face, "It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, just like that, as soon as you come out of him for a while, people who have measures can't bear it." On Chinese New Year's Eve, didn't you deliberately find something to make people popular, lest your father go slowly. You're sulking at home, and maybe they're all happy. A bunch of bastards who transform the sky and thunder. ”

The second brother-in-law saw that Xiaoyun was talking and was energetic, and hurriedly stopped, "Xiaomei, don't you see that our father is feeling uncomfortable, what nonsense, don't add fuel to the fire." The New Year's is all about saying something happy and happy, don't talk about such useless nonsense. Xiaomei's eyes narrowed, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.

The whole atmosphere was silent for a while, and several people bowed their heads thoughtfully and remained silent. For a long time, Xiaoyun said, "Let's go to Uncle Xiaoliang's house and Brother Xiaoliang's house, it's almost time to eat when we come back." Then the four of them went out together.

This is the best time for siblings to have a reunion dinner together, communicate with each other, and enhance their relationship. Since he was hospitalized, Wu Pingshun has heard and witnessed a series of things that have happened, and his heart has been completely broken. At noon, there was no one called Wu Xiaofu and Wu Xiaoqi, and the two guests sat around a big table, although it was not complete, there were children competing for me to grab the decoration of food, and the dinner table was also very harmonious. Wu Pingshun specially took out the Zhao River grain night that Xiaosen had prepared for him in advance and entertained the two sons-in-law.

Wu Pingshun picked up the water glass and said with a smile, "I can't drink, you can drink as much as you can." Although it suffered a little disaster, the effective army was worried, and the sin was not enough, and the Lord of Yama did not accept it, and he survived the catastrophe again. Since we have a breath, we still have to live this year, we still have to eat what we should eat, and as in previous years, I bought everything that should be bought. Eat with confidence. ”

"It's okay, now that the conditions are better, life will definitely get better day by day, so you can relax." The children said in unison.

Everyone chatted while eating, warm and warm, but also very warm, Wu Pingshun was happy in his heart, and also drank two glasses of wine.

As she spoke, Xiaomei talked about Xiaojun going to her uncle's house yesterday, Xiaoyun asked Xiaojun, "I saw my second brother just now, and he was angry." Yesterday you quarreled with the three of them at our uncle's house, and before you finished eating, you left, didn't you? ”

Wu Xiaojun was reluctant to mention this in front of his parents, so as not to make the two old people feel blocked, Xiaomei asked, and sighed in his heart, why didn't he open which pot to mention, why did he ask these things during dinner, so he pretended not to hear, just bowed his head and ate vegetables, and did not answer. Xiaomei then asked again, and Wu Xiaojun just coped with "um, ah".

Wu Pingshun saw that Wu Xiaojun was mysterious and secretive, and if he didn't answer what he asked, he knew that there was something inside, no wonder Xiaojun came back so early yesterday, and he didn't go out for a day, so he asked with wide eyes, "Xiaojun, what's the matter, hurry up." ”

"Dad, forget it, it's nothing, I'm eating, what is there to say, eldest brother, second brother, come on, let's have a drink." Wu Xiaojun picked up the wine jug and poured the three glasses to the brim, picked up the wine glass and signaled to the two, then drank it all, put down the wine glass, and went to the kitchen, until everyone finished eating, and then came to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

The more Wu Xiaojun didn't say anything, the more Wu Pingshun felt that things were strict, and asked Xiaomei, "What did you mean by asking Xiaojun just now?" ”

Xiaomei also felt that she was speechless, her father didn't know, so she shouldn't ask, she had no choice, so she had to say, "The second child said that Xiaojun is too bad, settle accounts for them, and ask them to build a house for Xiaojun, marry a daughter-in-law, do a full moon, and provide for you and my mother, he doesn't care about anything." and scolded Xiao Sen for being a bloody sprinkler, which was useless, and almost the two of them didn't fight. ”

Wu Pingshun didn't fight as soon as he heard it, "It's nonsense, it's just nonsense, I know it, I won't say that at all." Even if it is said, there is an antecedent. This damned, faceless and skinless one, the whole thing went to a relative's house. I just can't figure it out, Xiaojun has never provoked them, why have they always been angry with Xiaojun, and they are all coming at him? Xiaojun, come here, and tell me why you are arguing. ”

Wu Xiaojun's expression was stern, and he told the truth of the matter uneasily.

In an instant, a storm and clouds suddenly stirred up a thousand waves. Wu Ping jumped like thunder, "Okay, they are all capable, they all want to fight against the sky, and they all want to divide Lao Tzu, today I will settle accounts with them and divide one point." As he spoke, he picked up the wooden stick and walked out quickly, and a few people couldn't stop him behind him.

Wu Pingshun's eyes were red, his eyes were wide with anger, like crazy, no one would listen to him, whoever stopped him from hitting anyone with a wooden stick, Wu Xiaojun and several people had to follow behind him anxiously. The people in the village watched Wu Pingshun walking in a hurry, looking scary, not knowing what was going on, some whispering on the side, and some watching the excitement.

Wu Pingshun came to the door of Wu Xiaofu's house, picked up a wooden stick and knocked on the door, and shouted hoarsely, "Xiaofu, you bastard king eight lambs, my food is not good, you don't want to eat steadily, get out of here, haven't you been looking forward to my death, I will die today." ”

Wu Xiaofu's family heard that Wu Pingshun came to the door, Qiao Na wanted to come out, but was stopped by Xiaofu, "Stay honest with me, don't move anywhere, let him jump around by himself." ”

Wu Xiaoliang and Wu Xiaofu are in the front and back yards, and when they heard the sound outside, they walked out with their four sisters and brothers-in-law, and saw that it was Wu Pingshun, and several people hurriedly walked over. Wu Xiaoliang snatched the wooden stick from Wu Pingshun's hand and shouted, "Uncle, what do you want to do during the New Year, what's the big deal, don't you make other people's jokes, hurry up and go home, don't make a fuss here." ”

"I've lived for more than sixty years, much more than your grandfather, enough for this, they are not afraid of being embarrassed, they don't talk about face, what else do I have to pay attention to. These people who should be killed, I can't live in peace for a few days, and they want to divide me, okay, I'll let him take a look today. Xiaoliang, don't stop me, I have to let him kill me first, Xiaofu, you rabbit cub, don't hide in the turtle nest, come out quickly. ”

Wu Xiaoliang picked up Wu Pingshun hard, dragged him into his home, and put him on the sofa. Several sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law also came over and kept persuading, "Uncle, drink saliva, dissipate your anger, it's nothing at all, what are you still tossing, can you make them earn a win." You suffer for yourself, and no one feels sorry for you. ”

Wu Xiaojun looked at this qiē, and his heart felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and poured out the sweet, sour, bitter, and salty juices, both hateful and painful. What I hate is how I grew up in such a home full of right and wrong and always entangled, and the pain is that my father is skinny, tired, full of vicissitudes, haggard, helpless, and very sympathetic and pitiful. In the face of this qiē, I just want to escape, and leave the sad place as much as possible, but the parents who love me will be more sad and painful, and face the opposite, such as following the two wishes, it is undoubtedly forcing myself and my parents to a dead end, and the consequences will be even more tragic.

Wu Pingshun's toss quickly spread among the whole village and relatives, and became a topic of conversation after tea and dinner. "This Wu Pingshun is old, a disease is actually sick and confused, was poked in the back by two daughters, and ran to find his son to make trouble, I heard that his daughter, son-in-law and youngest son are all hideous, holding a guy in their hands like a fierce god, eyeing behind him to cheer, a wild sweep, smashing Wu Xiaofu's family to a mess, scared that Xiaofu's family didn't even dare to let out a fart, scurrying around, it seems that there is really a good show to watch in the future."

"You guy, I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic, you can really play blindly, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"Hey, hey, hey...... It's all my own thoughts. ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Wu Xiaofu and Wu Xiaoqi heard this, the hatred deepened further, one by one gritted their teeth, and secretly hated, "Okay, you Xiaoyun, Xiaojun, take the old man as a gunman, find trouble for us, make us ugly, make us embarrassed, can't raise our head in front of the whole village and relatives and friends, it's really poisonous, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, let's see, you are comfortable." ”
