Chapter 41: Grandma Strikes
With the old lady following, the third uncle and the fifth uncle invited a lot. The third uncle's family is nothing, and he usually treats Li Xiaogang's family well. It's the fifth uncle's family, when Li Xiaogang handed over the five taels of silver, the fifth aunt was still too little, and she nagged the boss.
Fortunately, there was an old lady in town, so the fifth aunt didn't turn over the events of that year and talk about it again. But she said, "It's okay if you want us to go, we don't have to be polite." Anyway, I see that you invite others to invite, so I'll bring my mother's family with me, so that I can fill your face. Also, you have to pay the money that my mother's family hired for the carriage to go back and forth, and you must prepare their gifts in return, and prepare them thicker. ”
At that time, Li Xiaogang gave full play to his childish characteristics, and yelled at the fifth aunt Chen angrily: "Fifth aunt, the reason why I invite you is because you are relatives. Since you think your mother's relatives have such a big face, then I can't afford to invite them. My father is still lying in the hospital, and so is my second uncle, why didn't you think about visiting? ”
These words embarrassed everyone present. In fact, they really don't want to visit the patient, for fear of being entangled, to help share the medical expenses. But these things can only be thought about in the heart. Once it is revealed, it doesn't make people poke their backbones.
The third uncle's family didn't go to see Daddy Li and them before, because the third uncle followed his comrades into the mountains to hunt. But the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle's family are different. It has been more than half a month since the fourth uncle came back from running a businessman, and he is in the city almost every day. The fifth uncle has always been at home and has not gone anywhere else.
Therefore, these two families did not go to visit Li Dad and them, which is really undeserved. If the two of them don't know about it, it's impossible. Because the news that the holy hand of surgery came to Fucheng to heal two patients has been spreading.
In addition, Li Xiaonuan sold Ganoderma lucidum to let Dad Li live in the hospital, and there must have been someone who knew the inside story who told the two families. It's just that they chose to ignore it, which is what makes Li Xiaonuan and them chill.
Saying the words that were held in his heart, Li Xiaogang's eyes were red, and he climbed into the car directly, ignoring those people. Because of the fifth uncle's house, the courtyard wall is only more than half a person high. Therefore, after a while, several people came outside to watch the excitement.
The fifth aunt was a little embarrassed by the strange eyes of those people, so she sneered and said: "Look at this child, I didn't see that he invited few people, I was afraid of losing face, so I thought about asking my mother's family to help make up the number." Since people are not rare, I will not rush to paste a cold ass. ”
The old lady was shocked by Li Xiaogang's words just now. She hadn't really thought about going to see those two sons before. In her heart, she is already the eldest elder in the family, and it should be right for everyone to come to see her.
But the other children are not, those two are their brothers, and it is not right that they do not visit. She was also annoyed that she didn't realize this problem, and let the family catch the fault of several sons.
Especially the fourth child, he is now trying to find a way to deal with the people in the government. I've heard that the royal ship is moving this month, and maybe it's going to sea. If you can catch the line of the official ship, won't the fourth child be a wealthy businessman at the top in the future.
It seems that a sister said that the most important thing for the official family is those with good character. Those rituals or something, don't they refer to filial piety, brothers, friends and brothers. It seems that this time I have to talk to the four of them, don't spend the money in the end, and I won't get anything good.
She was thinking about how to make up for her previous mistakes, and when she heard the words of the old five family again, her face fell. Originally, she was dissatisfied with the Taigu family of the fifth family, and with her previous words, she was angry.
However, she still cared about her daughter-in-law's face and didn't say Chen's in front of people. No matter how you say it, it was all out of the silver and carried back in a sedan chair. But she never thought that Li Xiaogang would be so straightforward. Sure enough, a child is a child, and nothing big can be done.
Seeing that the topics discussed by those few people are becoming more and more unfavorable to the old five family. The old lady could only come forward and say, "Why are you two so obedient?" The doctor said that your brother can't visit yet, so you won't go to see the two sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces. ”
"One or two are like wood, so honest deserve to be bullied. Look, isn't that being complained about. Okay, don't be wronged. I'll go to your eldest brother's house first, and you'll come back later." ”
After speaking, the old lady got into the carriage with the support of the fifth child. Although what she said just now explained the reason why the fifth child did not go to visit her brother. But no one is stupid, what the truth is, everyone understands. The reason why she still said that was just to find a staircase to go down.
After getting into the car, the old lady slapped Li Xiaogang's head and scolded in a low voice: "Stinky boy, don't make a sound if you can't speak." In the future, you will talk to me less when you are outside. ”
She's really angry. One is angry that he is not thoughtful, and the other is that Li Xiaogang speaks too straight. And Li Xiaogang didn't speak again after receiving that slap. With tears in his eyes, he leaned his head against the window.
Uncle Liang outside the car sighed again, secretly blaming this old man for being too mean. He could hear the slap just now. How to say, when this old lady first arrived in Xinzhou Village, she was also an easy-going person. Now, how did you become so unkind?
Everyone who should be invited has been invited, and it's not too early. When I returned to Xinzhou Village, it was just in time for dinner. Originally, when the car arrived in the city, Li Xiaogang wanted to take a look at the hospital. It's just that the old lady didn't let her, saying that she didn't come to see a doctor, and she was bad luck in the hospital.
Helpless, Li Xiaogang had no choice but to go to the hospital to ask about the situation of the two brothers before returning to the village. Just because of the delay of two quarters of an hour, the old lady chattered all the way.
Therefore, after returning home, Li Xiaogang hugged Li Xiaonuan's arm and said aggrievedly: "Sister, today I feel that I have grown up." You see, I didn't cry or talk back. Am I amazing? ”
Li Xiaonuan rubbed Li Xiaogang's head distressedly, looked at his red nose and comforted: "Well, we Xiaogang have grown up and can help the family." It's really good, our little gang is really amazing. ”
Xiao Gang showed an innocent smile at this time, and said with some palpitations: "Sister, I think what you said is too difficult to do." Why can relatives and elders do that, but we can't resist? It's obvious that they're wrong, and that's so unfair to us. ”
Li Xiaonuan sighed, in this era, filial piety is greater than the sky. A word from an elder can sometimes determine your life and death. Resistance may be able to achieve the goal you want, but it will not allow you to survive better in this era.
Li Xiaonuan didn't have a way to deal with it, so he comforted: "The elder should be respected, but if he is wrong, we can remind him from the side." If he still doesn't correct it, we can only find a way to prevent the wrong thing from happening. Of course, it's best to find a way to make him realize his mistakes. But my sister couldn't think of that way. Our Xiaogang is so smart, why don't you think about what to do, okay? ”
Xiao just nodded solemnly as if he had been assigned a very powerful task, and said with a serious face: "Hey, I'll think of a way." I don't believe that there is a way in this world that I can't think of. ”
