Chapter 280: Sympathy for the same fate
"What bastard bastard does, he doesn't flush the toilet after going to the toilet, feces, urine and sewage flow everywhere, the smell is so stinky, and he doesn't even have a place to put his feet on the ground!"
Suddenly, an old man's angry voice came from outside, which suddenly woke up a pair of mandarin ducks who were in high excitement.
Wu Xiaojun subconsciously let go of his clasped hands and asked in a panicked whisper, "Who is shouting and what?" ”
Bai Lingyan opened her eyes suddenly, the wonderful beauty that had just been aroused disappeared at once, she lowered her head and gently tidied up her clothes with a calm face, turned around and opened the door, looked outside, turned around and said, "Some people just don't realize it, maybe the toilet is blocked with water again, and this kind of thing often happens." ”
Wu Xiaojun said guiltily, "Lingyan, I'm sorry, the joke just now was a bit too much, please don't mind!" ”
Bai Lingyan said with a shy face, "What are you talking about!" It's not too early, it's time for me to go home! ”
Wu Xiaojun saw that Bai Lingyan's attitude had changed greatly before and after, and in an instant, he was like a different person, and he was very uneasy about his impulsiveness, "Well, although the distance is not far, it is better to reverse the car a few times, so it is better to set off early." ”
The two walked through the bustling New Year's goods market, and when they arrived at Wenhua Road Station, Wu Xiaojun said, "Be careful on the road, when will you come back after the holiday?" ”
Bai Lingyan looked at Wu Xiaojun with both eyes and said, "My eldest sister got married on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and she may come back later, I don't think it will be more than the tenth day of the first month at the latest." What about you? ”
Wu Xiaojun said, "According to our custom there, if you don't go out of seven or eight, you won't return, you will go out on three hundred and sixty-nine, and you will come back on the sixth day of the first month." Anyway, it's the same every year, and after the fourth year of junior high school, there is nothing to do at home. ”
Bai Lingyan nodded lightly and said distressedly, "Some time ago, you were restless and depressed all day for her and her family, and I sweated for you, and I was always worried that you would be too worried and completely collapse physically and mentally. I hope you can spend a good time on campus in a short time with a comfortable, happy and fulfilling state of mind. ”
Wu Xiaojun said, "Thank you for your concern, don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Bai Lingyan said implicitly, "Serve the army, you are afraid of wolves and tigers, and indecisiveness should not be your nature." Some things must be left behind, everything will have a past, you should seriously consider how to treat her in the future, as a friend, even if it is a pertinent reminder I give you at the end of the year, but also expect you to have a clear answer. ”
On the morning of the 28th of the year, Wu Xiaojun and his father had just entered the house from the county seat to purchase New Year's goods, and they saw at a glance that Chen Bing, a classmate from a high school in a neighboring village, was waiting for him when he was studying at Xiangzhou Agricultural University. He was particularly surprised and asked, "Chen Bing, why are you here?" We haven't seen each other in years! ”
Chen Bing is much more mature than before, the young man looks full of spring breeze, especially energetic, when he saw Wu Xiaojun coming back, he immediately greeted him, "I went to the city to buy New Year's goods, uncle, you also went!" ”
Chen Bing used to come to the house often, and Wu Pingshun was also very familiar with him, "Xiao Chen, the family is ready, how is your father's health?" ”
Chen Bing said politely, "Uncle, everything is fine at home." ”
Wu Pingshun said, "You talk to Xiaojun, it's not easy to come here, don't leave at noon, eat here!" ”
Chen Bing said, "Uncle, you are busy with other things, I have something to do in the morning, and I will leave in a while!" ”
Wu Xiaojun said with emotion, "Chen Bing, time flies so fast, I haven't seen each other for three years." You are about to break through the darkness before dawn and see the dawn, I still have to seek in the long night, I really envy you! ”
Chen Bing said, "I am actually just messing around in school, and my internship is the same as not doing an internship, and it will not be of any use in the future." ”
Wu Xiaojun said, "Graduation is a good thing, why be pessimistic!" ”
Chen Bing said, "The employment prospects of our majors are bleak, and the senior graduates either go through the back door to become teachers, or open their own shops to sell pesticides, fertilizers and seeds, which have nothing to do with their majors, and it is simply a waste of four years." But now I want to open it, there is no endless road, where to go, let's talk about it. ”
Wu Xiaojun said, "It is also said that the financial turmoil is breaking out in Southeast Asia now, and the impact on our country is also very great, and the economy is very sluggish, and the employment situation is not optimistic." Many workers in large state-owned factories in Pingxi have been laid off one after another, and some of them could not bear the sudden heavy blow, so they even committed suicide by jumping off a building. ”
Chen Bing said, "It does have a lot to do with this. Don't talk about this, a few of our high school classmates are scheduled to meet at the Yuanzhen Hotel at noon on the first day of junior high school, and I will inform you. ”
Wu Xiaojun said in surprise, "Yes, great, who are they?" ”
Chen Bing said, "This was initiated and organized by Kang Weidong, a classmate from the county personnel bureau, mainly including Ding Bingxin and Qiu Qiaoying from Xiangzhou University, Zhang Yanbin, Tan Xiangyun and Wang Suzhen from Xiangzhou University of Technology, and Zhao Guixia from Wuhan University. ”
Wu Xiaojun exclaimed, "It seems that Kang Weidong, this kid is out now, and he ran to the Personnel Bureau in a blink of an eye, and I will definitely participate." ”
Chen Bing said, "I'll see you when the time comes, I will have to inform others elsewhere, so I won't talk to you more." ”
Not long after Chen Bing left, he suddenly heard a hoarse cry in the village from far and near, and Wu Xiaojun asked his father puzzled, "Whose family is crying at this time, and the sound is still so loud, as if others can't hear it?" ”
Xiao Junniang came out of the house with the cow and said, "It seems that the dog is left behind and the aunt is not good." The old couple guarded more than ten acres of land, hungry and full all day long, and only a handful of bones were left, which was really pitiful, and the people in the east and west villages were worried about them. Over the years, the boy who went forward did not see anyone alive, did not see the corpse, and his whereabouts were unknown, and the two sons of the family each guarded their own small nest, avoiding them like a plague, and never asked. Now I am finally liberated, and I don't have to suffer living sins anymore. ”
Wu Pingshun squatted in front of the door and smoked, listening to the military lady talking, and said angrily, "Hurry up and take the cow out to bask in the sun, you have to say something nonsense, what is the difference between us and them, and I know that I talk about people with a shy face." ”
Xiaojun Niang and Wu Xiaojun saw that Wu Pingshun was angry, and they didn't dare to squeak anymore.
Xiao Junniang is a warm-hearted person, and she is also the only person in the village who can cut paper. After tidying up the house, she and Wu Pingshun said, "His father, it seems that Aunt Dog is really bad, can you go and take a look?" ”
Wu Pingshun said, "Whoever has this kind of thing can't go, his family has to go, Xiaojun also goes, you just came back, and you should meet the old and young masters in the village, and say hello, the people in the province said behind my back that I can't point out, saying that you are arrogant." ”
The situation of the Gou Yu family is similar to that of the Wu Xiaojun family, except that the old couple are seven or eight years older than Wu Pingshun and the others, and they are both close to seventy years old. Since Qianjin was discovered stealing Wu Xiaojun's books, Wu Maiduo sent him out and absconded overnight, and no one has come back for several years, and I don't know if he is dead or alive. Based on the intuitive feeling of the people in the village, the dog is clear in his heart. Perhaps it was with the hope and illusion of his youngest son, no matter how his two sons were scolding them for three days and two times, and torturing them to the death, he still held on to more than ten acres of land without moving, and when he had a little leisure, he got up early and worked on the construction site in the dark, saving money and working hard to earn money.
Fortunately, the dog's body is very good, and he can bear it no matter how hard and tired he is, but his wife can't, even if he does some light odd jobs, it will be unbearable, and he will accumulate over time, and he will be seriously ill. The dog was reluctant to spend money to hospitalize her, the two sons turned a blind eye, no one was willing to pay, and the two daughters persuaded no one to listen, and it was completely impossible to do it after a few months. The day before yesterday, I fainted three times a day, and the two daughters were scared to death, looking for two brothers, who were not at home and were not at home, and those who were at home were waiting to go out, and no one took the lead for a long time, and in desperation, the eldest daughter asked the village people for help and sent her mother to the hospital, but it was too late to help, and she soon lost her breath.
Most of the people in the village have arrived, and they are standing in groups of two, standing all over the courtyard, and many people are busy preparing for the funeral.
Wu Xiaojun and Wu Pingshun stayed at Gouyu's house for a while, and there was no place for them to intervene, so they chatted with a few people in the village for a while and then went home.
Wu Pingshun returned home sullenly with his hands behind his back, squatted in the courtyard and was stunned for a long time, smoked a few cigarettes, and sighed, "It's really not worth it for the dog to live for two people, save money all his life, no less hardships and hardships, and he didn't have a good day, and he ended up in this situation when he was old, which had to make people feel cold." ”
Wu Xiaojun looked at his father so melancholy, he didn't know what words to use to express it, and changed the topic, "The day after tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, so it won't be delayed until the funeral after the year, everyone is busy celebrating the festival and visiting relatives, and they can't find time to do this for his family!" ”
"The day after tomorrow is set. The dog is also blind, and he is a ringer, and he is a paper coffin cover and a courtyard, and he has a lot of them, and the two sons refuse to pay for it, either they don't fix it, or the dog will pay for it, and the face and neck of the master are red, and the trouble is very high, hey, what are the people. In my opinion, as long as you eat well when you are alive, it is better to dress warmly and not be sinned than anything, and you don't know anything when you close your eyes when you die, so what's the use of being fancy no matter how fancy it is. ”
Wu Xiaojun said, "Gou Yuye did this, at least two intentions, one is that Gou Yu's grandmother was not less wronged when she was alive, and Gou Yu felt ashamed of her, and sent her away in a beautiful manner, which is also a kind of psychological comfort; Moreover, in order to save some bad reputation for his son and daughter, I think it is not too much to start from him himself, but his children do not understand this intention. ”
Wu Pingshun said worriedly, "Xiaojun, you have also seen that the today of the dog's leftover family is the future of our family's tomorrow, and your uncle was also an example back then." My body is getting worse day by day, and I don't know when it will be my turn. It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on heaven and earth. You have to be mentally prepared, when that day comes, these people in our family will be selfish and fatal, and you can't count on anyone, so you must take your own way. ”
