As soon as my father said a word, the matter of going out to eat was yellow. Xie Ruolan was originally full of excitement and joy, but she was extinguished by this sentence, muttering, very dissatisfied.

"Ruolan, you go buy a braised duck, buy some braised wings, braised duck feet, buy whatever you want, and serve two soft steamed pork to grandma!" Xie Leisai gave her twenty yuan and quietly confessed.

"Hmm!" Ruolan suddenly became happy again and jumped out of the house.

"Dad, Xiao Lei bought you two cigarettes, a new dress, and two bottles of good wine!" Chen Yunfeng, who was stir-frying, said happily, in the small kitchen, the whole room was full of choking smell.

"Why do you spend money indiscriminately, why do you buy such good cigarettes and such good wine, you have too much money? Two days ago, Lao Wang in the factory had surgery and made up three yuan, and I still borrowed it. After you had an accident, your mother came to see you, and she didn't even have the money to go home, if Xiao Xiao hadn't given your mother thirty yuan, she wouldn't even be able to go home, you are good, fuck beautiful outside, and the house will not be able to open the pot! Looking at these good cigarettes and good wine, Xie Huaiyuan's anger did not come to one place, and his tone became heavier.

"His father, Xiao Lei has just arrived home, you are teaching people again, no matter how poor the days are, I have also experienced them, what is there to be afraid of, at most I will get a job to do!"

"I'm not saying that it's bad for him to come back, it's just that he is so old, he should know something, you must know the hardships of life, don't waste it so much!"

"Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry about my business, I know what to do!"

"This society is not as simple as you think, you can't even get a subsidy of ten yuan on the farm, and when you come back, you have no job, and this day is even more difficult!" Xie Huaiyuan sighed and said.

"Xiao Lei, go wash your face, see that you are so hot that you are covered in sweat!" For dinner, there was only a plate of soybean sprouts, and rice was cooking on the honeycomb coal stove.

In the hot summer, the temperature itself is high, and staying in a small room is even more stuffy, and the kitchen built next to the back wall is as hot as a stove, so small that it is difficult to turn around. After washing his face, Xie Lei came out of the kitchen, sweating again.

"Xiao Lei, fan it with a fan, see that you are so hot that you are sweating again."

"Why don't you buy a fan at home, it's so hot, how can you stand it?"

"You really don't feel a back pain when you stand and talk, which one can afford a fan? As soon as I come back, I can't get used to anything, what will I do in the future? Father muttered. I was panicked, and I couldn't find the object of anger.

Anyone knows how difficult it is to get back to the city. However, when they return without a job, the whole family will be in an even more difficult situation. There is no place to live, and eating has become a big problem. The average living of 6 yuan a month is almost the same as the minimum poverty relief line in Qingyuan City.

It's not good to be on the farm, it's sinned like that, but there is always an income of thirty yuan, and he can always support himself, at least he no longer needs his family to support him. My son is older, and I will get married in a few years, what should I do!

"Dad, if you say some frustrating things, do you want to kick him out, and you feel good?" Chen Yunfeng said angrily. always looked forward to a family reunion, and now, when my son is back, the practical problem is on the table again.

Although Xie Huaiyuan is unhappy and often robs him, Xie Lei can also understand. The family is really poor, and as soon as this 'son' comes back, as a father, the first thing he said was not the joy of a family reunion, but whether he came back with a job, and whether he opened his mouth and closed his mouth was money. Think about it, what is the difference between living on a few yuan for a month and the poor 'five-guarantee households' in the city?

Surviving in such a harsh environment, all the ideals, pursuits, and meanings of life that exist in my heart are all annihilated by the cruel environment of reality. "What am I going to do, to be silent, or to help them?"

"The family is very poor, but when their son encounters misfortune, no matter how difficult it is, they rush over to help, it seems that they are not unhappy about my return, but because they have added another mouth to eat!" Thinking of this, Xie Lei's heart suddenly brightened.

"Brother, grandma's favorite 'sweet roasted white' is sold out, only 'steamed pork' and 'steamed pork ribs', both bought one!" Carrying a large bag of pickled vegetables, as soon as she entered the house, Ruolan shouted happily.

"I said you, you just don't know how difficult it is to make money, and you will have to live the hard days in the future!" Xie Huaiyuan let out a dissatisfied roar in distress.

"Dad, my brother just came back, and the first reunion dinner is to eat better. Besides, our family hasn't eaten meat once for more than half a month, and our intestines are rusty! ”

"His father, Xiao Lei has just arrived home, you are talking about the east and the west, which makes everyone unhappy, no matter how hard the days are, we have to get out. Ruolan, go clean up the table, your dad and your brother have a drink.

Although I didn't go out to eat today, and there was no food, the family was finally reunited, and I was very happy to be tired together. ”

Ruolan bought braised duck, braised meat, braised wings, braised duck feet, after opening the package, the whole house was filled with the fragrance of braised vegetables.

"Dad, I toast you, with me, this family will not be so poor again, you don't have to worry about money anymore!"

"Things are as simple as you think, it's difficult to rely on the office to settle a job, it's even more difficult to open your own noodle shop, and you have to save the money you earn on the farm. You are so old, there is not a penny at home in the future, and there is no extra money to give you to use. I don't know how long it will take for you to get a job, alas,..." After drinking a glass of wine, Xie Huaiyuan said wistfully.

"How are the exam results this semester?"

"It's just that my mother asked me to paste matchboxes every day, and I don't have time to read books and review my homework, otherwise in the final exam, I will definitely be in the top ten in the class!"

"What about first place? It's not the same as going down to the countryside. If you don't stick to the matchbox, where does the tuition come from? Xie Huaiyuan snatched a sentence.

"It's a holiday, do you want to go outside to play?" Watching her gobble up braised vegetables, Xie Lei asked with a smile.

"Of course I think about it, but a fool doesn't want to? It's just that it's possible to get my turn, even eating meat once a month..."

"Tell me about the results of the final exam!"

"It's just that I didn't do well in English, and I only scored 87 points, and I scored 90 points in all other subjects!" Ruolan said regretfully.

"Then you have the qualifications to go out to play, take you to Shanghai, Hangzhou for a walk, a long experience, as long as you study hard in the future, on vacation, you can go where you want to play, brother pays!"

"Brother, what you said is true?"

"Of course it's true, could it be that my brother would lie to you?"

"Grandma, Dad, Mom, you heard it, it's good to have a brother at home, you can go to Shanghai to play!"

"Just write some blank checks, where did you get the money for her to play, it's almost the same dream!" Xie Huaiyuan said with a blow.

"Dad, the children are talking and laughing, it's okay to be happy, just listen to it!" Chen Yunfeng said to stop him.

"Master Xie,..., wow, this room is so fragrant, what are you eating!" An aunt called out outside the door, smelled the fragrance, walked into the house, and took a long breath, as if she wanted to inhale the fragrance of the pickled vegetables into her stomach.

"Aunt Zhao is here, she didn't eat, and she was saying that she was going to send you this month's rent!" Chen Yunfeng said, stood up, and greeted.

"Leiwa, are you coming back to visit relatives, or are you transferred back?"

"Transferred back!"

"Really? You're so lucky,..., my family Xiuying went to the branch with you, she said that she didn't know what to do with the Year of the Monkey, how many gifts did you give? ..., she said that the price of the gift has risen to 800 yuan, which is really sad, so much money, where to make up the ,...! ”

"Aunt Zhao, do you want to eat together? After Chen Yunfeng handed her two yuan and five dimes, he asked casually.

"No, in the courtyard next door, three families have moved away, if no one rents a house, I don't know what to do with my life next month, I'm worried to death, Xiuying is waiting for money, and the house can't be sold, how will I live this day? It's okay for you, after Xiao Lei has a job, your family's life will be better! Aunt Zhao was full of envy.

"Aunt Zhao, there are several families living in the courtyard next door, do you really plan to sell it?" After hearing this, Xie Lei asked out loud.

"It's not like you haven't been there, even I only have five families, after the three families move out, the whole yard will be empty, alas, you eat, I'll go find Master Liu, see if he can help me find a way, even if I can't sell it and rent it out." I'm leaving, so I won't disturb your meal! ”

"How can Aunt Zhao have so many houses?"

"Her husband used to be a capitalist and bought a property with two yards. A few years ago, he was raided by the Red Guards, and all the valuable things in the house were taken away, and he passed away in a fit of anger. Aunt Zhao is living on some rent now, and it is also very difficult! Chen Yunfeng said sympathetically.

"She said there are three houses for sale in the yard next door, and those houses are not big?"

"Of course, it's more than our houses, each with about 80 square meters. Dad, if we move to the yard next door, Xiao Lei will come back, and this house is really too crowded to live! ”

"Every month's rent, I have to increase by one yuan and a half, and now it will be ordered, and when his job is stable, we will find a way to change to a bigger room!" Father Xie Huaiyuan denied it, and the matter of changing rooms came to naught.

"Ruolan, go out for a walk with me!" After eating, Xie Lei said.

The two came to Aunt Zhao's house in the next yard and looked at the three empty houses, the two sides were more than 80 square meters, two bedrooms, a living room, the structure was good, and the kitchen was not counted in the suite. The main hall is estimated to be more than 90 square meters, with bedrooms on both sides and a large living room in the middle. The area of the yard is also OK, not small, the toilet against the courtyard wall, several families share. There is a small fish pond in the middle of the yard, and there is a common laundry station and a small pool next to it.

"Aunt Zhao, you said that you have to sell these three houses, right?"

"Yes, you also know that my family is not good, Xiuying said that she had to spend money to ask the leader to go back to the city, otherwise there would be no door. Just my mother and mother, and when she gets married in the future, I will be alone, and it is enough to have a small house to live in. This yard is not for sale, where can I get the money to send it to her? Now that there is no one to rent, do you have an acquaintance who you want to buy or rent? ”
