Chapter 223: The Poor Hat That Can't Be Taken Off

A total of eight kittens, the hair has not yet opened, after giving birth, a row of lying on the belly of the big white cat, the little head arched for a while, trying to find milk to drink.

The big white cat pulled several kittens away with its paws and gathered on the side of the nest, it also knew that Su Ming had helped it a lot just now, so he barely got up and lay on the edge of the nest, his blue eyes looked at Su Ming, he raised his head and meowed, and his tail wagged from side to side, expressing his gratitude in its unique way.

"Don't wag your tail, what do you learn from a cat and a dog." Su Ming touched its head with a smile, hugged it and put it back in the nest to lie down, and the eight kittens immediately hugged it, screaming to drink milk.

It was only at this time that Su Ming withdrew the ability of the soul possession. That is, when he was born in the first child, he suffered a little more sin, and then his brain was active, and after sharing the pain with all the animals around him, that little discomfort had no effect.

There is also a small episode, after giving birth to a kitten, the female cat did not feed the first time, but ate the cat placenta. After giving birth to a kitten, the female cat's body is extremely weak, and this thing is a great tonic, just to replenish its body.

However, no matter how big her appetite is, she can't eat eight placentas, eat half of them, and the remaining four Su mothers are packed on a plate and washed and put them in a shady place upstairs, and she will eat one every day for the next few days.

Su's mother was upstairs dealing with the placenta, Su Ming beckoned Su Meng to come in, and the two of them moved two small benches and sat in front of the cat nest, with wide eyes and a stupid expression, watching a row of cats feeding.

After watching for a while, Su Ming and Su Meng suddenly touched their stomachs at the same time, and they both felt so hungry......

"Crackling ......"

It was past twelve o'clock, and there was a deafening sound of firecrackers outside, and the New Year had arrived. Big cats and kittens have all undergone spiritual baptism. Especially the kittens, who received mental prenatal education in their mother's womb, are not very afraid of the sound of firecrackers. It's even a little curious.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Ming's family spent time delivering cats. Eight new little lives were ushered in.

At three or two o'clock in the morning, the sound of firecrackers outside gradually weakened, and the white cat family was also tired and fell asleep.

Su Ming took Su Meng, paid a New Year's greeting to his mother, received two big red envelopes, and went back to the room to sleep happily. Su Meng received a red envelope for the first time in his life, and after taking it. gave all the money in it to Su Ming, and stuffed the red wrapping paper into his personal pocket, like a baby.

Su Meng usually follows Su Ming every day, and he has nowhere to spend money, he probably thinks that red envelopes are more beautiful than money, so he keeps red envelopes.

Su Ming shook his head and explained to him for a long time. I thought I should send this guy some pocket money, otherwise I won't have any money for a date in the future.

…………

Sometimes Su Ming is actually quite annoyed by the New Year, and he can't sleep well when he is New Year, especially in the town. Not long after I fell asleep, I was dreaming that my belly suddenly bulged so big. Bang bang, a lot of little monsters crawled out of it......

Then I was woken up by the sound of firecrackers.

"Mom, I'm scared to death of this baby."

Su Ming saw that it was not dawn, and was about to lie in bed for a while, when Su's mother pushed the door in, sat on the edge of Su Ming's bed in new clothes, and slapped the quilt: "Get up and get up, go to the New Year with your mother!" ”

"Woo...... Mother...... I'll sleep again......" Su Ming couldn't open his eyelids, and squinted at his phone. It was only before five o'clock in the morning, and he casually pulled the quilt up and covered his head.

After a few years in the city, he got used to sleeping in. Even when I was in school, I never got up so early. Later, when I came to the zoo, I slept as long as I wanted.

"This lazy boy, I just let you sleep, can you sleep? Guns are being fired outside, and they will be fired for hours. Su's mother slapped Su Ming's ass again in her life.

This is also true, the firecrackers on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year can be put away for several hours, Su Ming is estimated to be unable to sleep even if he takes sleeping pills, he sits up like a corpse, and snaps his face with both hands, which can be regarded as sober.

"Don't be stupid, hurry up, finish eating upstairs, and go with me for the New Year."

Raising his head with a knife, shrinking his head is also a knife, and he can't sleep in bed anyway, Su Ming jumped out of bed, dressed neatly, yawned and went upstairs, ate something casually first, and slipped to the next room with a bowl in his hand.

Su's mother had already prepared milk for the cat's family to eat, seeing that there was nothing abnormal in the cat's family, and the cat's mother did not have adverse reactions such as postpartum hemorrhage, Su Ming was completely relieved, and after a few mouthfuls of his breakfast, Su Meng continued to watch the house at home, and led the big bags and small bags out to go around with his mother to pay New Year's greetings.

Many people in the town are Su Ming's elders, and some are even the elders of his mother, although they are distant relatives, they usually help the family, and they have to go to see others during the New Year.

The first stop is the second uncle's house.

The second uncle is also surnamed Su, speaking of it, he is Su Ming's father's distant cousin, and I don't know how many generations have passed, it is said that the father of the second uncle, and Su Ming's father's grandfather, the two are cousins, but the second uncle is married to Su Ming's father's cousin...... The relationship between Sunzhen is so weird, everyone has something to do with whom, if you see an old man on the street, maybe you will call Su Ming's grandfather, and conversely, when you see a child, Su Ming may want to call the other party's uncle.

The second uncle is also in his sixties this year, tall, due to perennial labor, his body is very tough, seeing Su Ming's mother and son, the second uncle laughed, the laughter was like a lion roaring miracle in a martial arts novel, suppressing the sound of firecrackers outside.

"Happy New Year, Second Master!" As soon as he entered the door, Su Ming hugged his fists at the second uncle and bowed with a smile.

The second uncle walked over and patted Su Ming on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Su Ming, I haven't seen you this year, why are you still so thin." ”

The second uncle used to be a fitter, and he had a lot of strength in his hands, and when he was patted on the shoulder by the second uncle, Su Ming stumbled, so he couldn't be patted on his stomach, and grinned and said: "Second uncle, I just have this body, why don't I get fat when I eat." ”

Su's mother was also laughing on the side, from childhood to adulthood, as long as the second uncle saw Su Ming, he was sure to say this: Why are you still so thin?

But Su Ming is at every age, and the reasons summarized by the second uncle are different, when he was a child, he was, 'Is your mother not giving you meat?' Come to the second uncle's house to eat! ’。 After going to school, it's 'the baby studies too hard, and the body collapses' and something like that.

Sure enough, the second master then blew his beard and glared at him and said, "Tell the second uncle." Is it not going well in the city? I'll just say you young people, one by one, you are going to go into the city. Is the money in the city so easy to make? In my opinion, don't do it in the city, although our town is poor, people don't have to worry about it, the second uncle went to tell the mayor of the town, find you a clerical job in the town, and you can have more than 800 yuan a month, and then let your mother tell you a daughter-in-law. Let your uncle help build a house, and your small life will be lived. ”

The so-called 'uncle' is the son of the second uncle, who works as a mason in the county, not much older than Su Ming, he is also in the house, listening to the old man say this, he came over and glanced at the second uncle with some complaints, and said: "Dad, what are you talking about, Su Ming is a college student." There are thousands of people in the city a month, and it is not a pit for people to go back to the town to do paperwork. ”

While saying. While smiling apologetically at Su Ming and Su's mother, he said, "My father is old, he talks a lot, and he has a good heart, don't take it to heart." ”

"How can it be, they all watched me grow up, and the two-story building in my house was still an uncle, you asked someone to help build it."

The three of them sat down in the hall when they said this, and first they bowed to each other for a year, and then the uncle called his daughter Xiaoya out. gave Su Ming a year's greetings. Xiaoya is two years younger than Orange Orange and saw Su Ming. A little shy, she hid behind her father's back, and shouted timidly: "Happy New Year, fourth brother!" ”

Su Ming himself couldn't figure out how the relationship in this family was arranged. Why did he become the fourth brother? She called it that, Su Ming replied like this, and Su's mother smiled on the side: "Let the fourth brother give you the New Year's money." ”

The habit of the town, after work, there is no New Year's money to take, although Su Ming is a junior, but the second uncle does not have to give it. Su Ming took out a red envelope from his arms, handed it to the little girl, and said, "The girl takes it." ”

"Take it and put it away for your mother." The uncle nodded, and the little girl had the courage to take the red envelope, turned around and ran to the back room.

Su Ming carried the New Year's gift he brought, put it on the table, and said, "Uncle, I brought you and my second uncle a few bottles of wine, and I will stay at home to drink it during the New Year." ”

The wine was packed in a red bag at first, and no one saw what was inside, the uncle took it and looked down, but he was a little stunned, a small box of Moutai, looked up and said to Su Ming a little distressed: "Why are you buying such expensive wine, my father and I are reluctant to drink it!" "He works in the county, and he usually drinks loose wine, and occasionally asks the contractor to drink some wine, and fifty or sixty will break the sky.

In addition to the wine, there are also two Chinese in it.

"It was also given by a friend in the city, and I don't drink much myself." Su Ming smiled, it was really a 'friend', that day I went to Zhao Yun's house to worship the early years, his house was like robbing a tobacco hotel, the good cigarettes and wine in the living room were piled up into a mountain, and when he left, he just loaded a trunk for Su Ming.

Su's mother also said with a smile: "His second uncle, his uncle, Su Ming can make money now, you have been good to him since he was a child, and he should be filial to you." ”

Uncle smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I heard that Su Ming drove a good car back, and we finally have a capable person in the town." ”

The second uncle came over to take a look, and immediately said, "That's not going to happen!" It's not easy for you young people to make some money outside, so why don't you spend it indiscriminately! I'm afraid this idea of tobacco and alcohol will cost you two months' salary, right? I'll keep a bottle of wine, and you can take the rest to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings. ”

"My second uncle, for the New Year, I brought in all the gifts, and you let me take them, isn't this a slap in the face! How will my family be in the town in the future! Su Ming pretended to be aggrieved and said.

Speaking of which, the second uncle didn't have much to say, the uncle thanked a few words, then turned his head to the back room, called his daughter-in-law out, and asked him to put away all the cigarettes and alcohol, and send them to the principal in the future.

The eldest aunt is not yet thirty, but she looks like a woman in her forties, who is cooking in the back, and when she heard the uncle call her to come to the front hall, she first said hello to Su Ming and Su's mother, and then tugged on the uncle's sleeve and whispered something in his ear.

After hearing this, the uncle stood up, looked at Su Ming with wide eyes and said, "Su Ming, you gave Erya a red envelope of 3,000 yuan!" ”

There is a custom in the town, when wrapping red envelopes, in order to have a festive picture, it seems to have face, and the red envelopes are very thick, but the single denomination is not large, some are five yuan and ten yuan, and even two pieces of one denomination, Su Ming just handed over a thick red envelope, and the uncle didn't care, Er Ya took it to her mother in the back, and when she opened it, she found that it was all one hundred.

"Uncle, you sit down, I heard my mother say, the second girl will go to school next year, and the schools in the county are all boarding, this money will buy some stationery for the girl, and she usually eats better at school, don't suffer the child." Su Ming said.

"Take it, Su Ming's thoughts." Uncle Chong nodded at the aunt, and then smiled bitterly at Su Ming: "Hey, it's okay for the girl's family to know a few words, and when she graduates from junior high school, she will go out to work, she has been spoiled since she was a child, and she won't be able to suffer in the future." ”

Many children in the town do not continue to go to school, on the one hand, because of poor grades, but more importantly, because of poor family conditions and cannot afford to provide for them. Especially girls, if they have a younger brother at home, they will go to junior high school at most, and they will have to go out to work to save for their younger brother's future tuition. The uncle and aunt are not very old, only Erya has a daughter, and eighty percent of them will have another life in the future.

The tradition of preference for sons over daughters has continued for many years in China, and it can be said that it is a vice, but from another point of view, in particularly poor rural areas, there are actually reasons. In the future, the son can set up a household, can do heavy work, and if there is a son at home, outsiders will not dare to bully, but when the daughter grows up, she will always get married, and even the household registration is not counted as the family, and the government has any subsidies and benefits, and it is not considered to be the family.

Of course, this is because of the backwardness of the economy, and the position of the male with power is naturally higher than that of the female. If you are in a city where the economy is okay, the preference for sons over daughters is simply an old idea vice.

It's not just girls, the poorer the place, the lower the socialization of people, and the higher the animality. The strong protect the weak, the big takes care of the young, and the elder brother drops out of school to work for the younger siblings to go to school, and there are many things.

"It's all my unproductive father, unlike you who can be admitted to college and make a lot of money in a big city...... Hey, what are you doing about this during the New Year, second sister-in-law, you eat sugar, Su Ming, you smoke. The uncle hurriedly changed the topic, grabbed a large handful of candy and handed it to Su's mother, lowered a cigarette to Su Ming, and said with a smile: "The smoke is not good, you will settle." ”

Su Ming was happy when he saw the cigarette, eight yuan a pack, and he smoked this kind of cigarette when he graduated. took it and said, "Uncle, I'm okay outside now, and when I come back this time, I also want to help the town do something, but I don't know where to start, you tell me about the situation in the town."
