Mrs. Wu hummed a little song and picked wild fruits all the way, and after a while, she left the two mountains behind her, stood at the entrance of the village and took a look, and saw her mother looking at this side at the gate of the courtyard from a distance.

"Mom....." Mrs. Wu trotted all the way and ran to the door of the house in one go.

"Look at the sweat you are running, why are you in a hurry, you are still like a child when you are so old." Mother Wang led Mrs. Wu into the house, glanced at her sister-in-law's yard and said, "Your brother and your sister-in-law went to the town, but they are not at home, what do you want to eat, your mother will cook it for you." ”

"Oh, I want to eat pork dumplings, I've got a good stuffing!" Mrs. Wu was tired of sprinkling on Wang's mother and smelling her mother's smell.

"I know that you are good, I will start to work after you call, I have already wrapped it, and your meat and leeks will be brought to your sister-in-law."

"Mom, you're amazing, you understand your daughter so well!"

"I don't understand the meat that fell from my stomach. Tell you, your brother and sister-in-law seem to want to go to the town to buy a house to live in. ”

"Are you asking for money?" Mrs. Wu asked. Looking at Wang's mother in embarrassment, she knew that she guessed correctly. "My sister-in-law is too much, she has been in charge all these years, she has watched the little money you and your father earned, and my brother won't give you the money he earns, where will you get the money for her!" Mrs. Wu angrily threw the sweater she brought to the ground.

"Oh, you whisper my ancestor." Mother Wang looked out while closing the door of the house, and sighed in embarrassment. "Your sister-in-law is like this, you don't know, who made your brother a disability, don't listen to other people's things, didn't your brother and your sister-in-law open that welding shop in the town in the past few years, it's too wasteful to rent a house, thinking that buying a façade house can save some money. said that the landlord was unreliable, and he wanted to raise the rent. ”

"And how much does she want?"

"Don't worry about it, your father and I will find a way to make it up, and if it doesn't work, we will sell these two yards!"

"That's not good, where are you and my dad staying? My sister-in-law's temper, if you go to town with them, you will be angry to death. My brother is not at home, and I think you are living with me and losing his people, this is not embarrassing for you! Mrs. Wu sat on the edge of the bed and sulked, and tears fell unconsciously.

Since this sister-in-law entered the door, she has never let her parents give birth to Ansheng, except for asking for money and things, she has to take care of big and small things. When she went to the old man, she said that she ate and drank together, and when the old man went to her, she said that the old man secretly stuffed money for his daughter, and her parents didn't even go to her house.

I also blame myself for not having the ability, I and Wuda have no savings at all over the years, and the money is basically spent in the hospital, so I can't help at all, so I can only be in a hurry.

"Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and besides, your father is still young and can work for a few years, and besides, your brother is not for outsiders. Mom will make dumplings for you. Mother Wang comforted Mrs. Wu and said, sometimes Mother Wang pities her daughter for not having an in-law to take care of the family, and sometimes she thinks about herself and thinks that in fact, it is good to have no in-laws, saving a lot of trouble and entanglement. She was angry with her mother-in-law when she was young, and now she is angry with her daughter-in-law when she is old, which is really not easy.

"Sixty years old, still young!!" Mrs. Wu wiped her tears and got up and followed Wang's mother out of the stove room, looking at the circle of big-bellied dumplings wrapped by Wang's mother, she couldn't help but feel hungry.

"By the way, my dad."

"I'm going to build the wall at your Uncle Wang's house, if you don't come back to eat today, let's just eat it." Mrs. Wu helped light the firewood stove, and looked at the strand of gray hair that ran out of the headscarf of Mother Wang, who was busy working on the side, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red again. There are still 10,000 yuan in the passbook at home, which Wuda has just saved in the past half a year, and I went back to the town to pick it up and send it to my mother.

After Mrs. Wu finished lunch, she planned to walk to Uncle Wang's house to visit Father Wang, and walk around the village by the way.

Although this Wangjia Village is only separated by two hills from Wujia Village, the customs are very different. A few years ago, the state built a large reservoir to solve the problem of frequent drought and flood disasters in the local area, occupying the original land and houses in Wangjia Village, so it divided new land and houses for every household, and also issued a sum of compensation for demolition and relocation to every household.

Therefore, compared with the Wujia Village, which has always been relatively remote and closed, the economic conditions in the village are also better. And because it is closer to the town, many families with better economic conditions have moved to the county seat and town, one is for more job opportunities, and the other is for the convenience of their children's schooling. There is only one primary school in the center of the town, and the children in the village have to be delivered early and picked up in the evening, and they have to bring their own lunch. For example, their Wujia Village is the farthest away from the school, almost more than 40 miles away, not only the children are delayed back and forth to school, but even the adults are very hard to pick up and drop off every day.

The year before last, the villagers spontaneously pooled money to hire a van to pick up and drop off the children, but because the mountain road was difficult to walk, the road slipped after the rain and caused an accident, more than a dozen children and the driver fell down the mountain with the car, and the two children unfortunately died.

This matter made a lot of noise, and it was also on the provincial news. After the county leaders came to inspect it, they allocated funds to repair the asphalt road leading to the town primary school. But since then, no car owner has dared to do the work of picking up and dropping off children, and I heard that it is a crime, and if you are caught, you will not only have to pay a lot of fines, but also have to go to jail. People had to pick up and drop off their children in groups, and the road was far and difficult, which made it even more difficult for the children who came and went in the wind and rain every day.

Because it is inconvenient to go to school, many families in the village are now unoccupied, and no one takes care of the good houses. It seems that their Wangjia Village is even poorer than Wujia Village. That's right, the rich and capable families have moved away, and there are only some families left who are not very good and are struggling to survive.

Mrs. Wu misses the bustling village when she was a child, when the streets were clean and tidy, and every house had white walls and white tiles. During the festival, the friends set off firecrackers on the street and threw sandbags, and the laughter continued. Now, with family planning, families are only allowed to have one child, and when there are fewer children, the whole village is deserted and devoid of the warm atmosphere of the past.
