Chapter Seventy-Eight: Flowers Bloom and Fall
Since Xing Er followed his brother and sister-in-law home, he really lived an ascetic life. In the first few days, his brother and sister-in-law still treated him as a patient, and took special care of food and clothing. As the days go by, I get impatient to wait. Especially Liu Cuihua, as soon as she was free, she interrogated Xing Er and asked him where his money went. It's strange to say, he can't find it, in order to find money, Liu Cuihua did whatever it took to not give Xing Erfang a meal, and forced him to hand over his passbook. can let her beat and scold, coerce and use, and sometimes use the inheritance technique to lure. Xing Er was still the same old-fashioned, smiling and nodding. The gods can't do anything about him. He and Liu Cuihua gave birth to a big treasure, more than seven years old. Just when he was stubborn, he slammed his fist and smashed it on Xing Er's stomach, Xing Er couldn't straighten his waist, he didn't break up, he rode on Xing Er as a horse, and he didn't want to sleep until twelve o'clock, however, this little Wang Balamb is also good, what he eats is always filled into Xing Er's mouth first, and this stupid father didn't raise him in vain.
Niu Er met Xing Er on the kidnapping set, and quickly picked up a piece of cooked meat and stuffed it on Xing Er, urging him to eat it quickly. County Magistrate Hong was grateful to Xing Er for helping him back then, and always cut a large piece of meat and gave it to Xing Da for nothing, hoping that he would take good care of Xing Er in life. Mr. Ma, who was abducted from the south, saw that his righteous brother was in trouble, and his heart was sad, so he fried the prepared herbs and gave them to Xing Er for nothing, eagerly hoping that the righteous brother would recover soon, and his behavior was touching. It's just that God doesn't open his eyes, and Xing Er's condition has not improved much.
Liu Xianzhi is also very sympathetic to Xing Er's plight, although she is not rich in her own life, she still saves money and often helps Xing Er. Sometimes when there is something delicious, she would rather not eat it herself, but also fill the good things into Xing Er's mouth, and watch him eat it with her own eyes, so she left with a satisfied wry smile. She also wanted to get a marriage certificate with Xing Er, and the two lived for the rest of their lives. But her parents disagreed. They think that Xing Er's illness is not hopeful, and Ma Yue will not be better in the Year of the Monkey, and his daughter has missed marrying Wang Lin once, if she makes another mistake this time, won't it really ruin her daughter's life? And, and most importantly, having children. Both of them are not young, if they really have children, what if they are a little dementia? A stupid father, plus a nerd, an old and a young, two dementias together, taking care of one with one hand, can you take care of it? If the money can be found, it's okay to say, but if you can't find it, what if you don't have money and food? Isn't the whole family just waiting to starve to death? At present, the old couple is in good health, but there will always be a day when people are old, and the old man can't serve his children for a lifetime. Based on the above reasons, Liu Laoxuan and his wife categorically denied their daughter's request, which was also a last resort, and this time, Liu Xiangzhi missed a good opportunity to combine with Xing Er.
The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time. Liu Cuihua became more and more unaccustomed to Xing Er. When Xing Er's dream of seizing Xing Er's money was shattered, she began to toss Xing Er even harder. When her blatant behavior was scolded by her husband Xing Da, she changed it to yin and yang, and she was good on the surface, but secretly accelerated the pace of persecution of Xing Er. She took advantage of Xing Da's work, when she ate out at noon and didn't go home, she always didn't give Xing Er food at noon, and when Xing Da came back in the evening, the whole family sat down to eat together. Of course, there is also a lot of food. As the saying goes, if you don't eat one meal, you won't save two meals.
Liu Cuihua took the opportunity to say bad things to Xing Er: "Dabao Dad, you saw it with your own eyes, where are people eating, it's like the starving ghost being reborn." Don't talk about eating too much, don't do a little work, don't take the grass into erection, this dementia is not as good as a pig. A pig is raised for a year, and at the end of the year, he can earn a thousand children and eight hundred yuan, this stupid father, he can't earn a penny. β
Xing Da saw that his brother was like this, and there was nothing he could do. I had to say: "Didn't the Liu family give money, just make do with it." β
Liu Cuihua didn't give up, and continued to blow the yin wind on the pillow: "Dabao Dad, you can't just be tired of our family." Duoer and Sun San have also received many benefits from the second child in the past, and over the years, Sun San's salary is 100,000 a year. It's a motorcycle again, it's a van again, it's fragrant and spicy, it's all reimbursed by the factory, to be honest, with Sun San's ability, even if his mother burns high incense, where does the scenery come from? It's obvious that it's the light of the second child. Also, we all called him to Meng, the second child sat down in the car, bought more than 400,000 yuan, drove for less than three years, and now opens the old car market, 200,000 yuan is guaranteed to break the head. Take a step back, 150,000 is a hot item. β
Xing Da said: "Why didn't you say it at that time?" I also feel strange that a good factory, as soon as it came into the hands of Sun San, it suddenly became a big debtor. There must be ghosts in here. Alas, they all blame us, and it would have been nice to take over the factory at that time. There is no such thing as a bad medicine in the world. β
Liu Cuihua sighed and asked in a tentative tone: "Why don't we find a reason to ask the second child to stay in their factory for a few days, and then pick it up." β
Xing Da scratched the back of his head: "What is the reason?" β
Liu Cuihua saw that she had a good situation, and hurriedly said: "This reason is easy to handle, so I said that Dabao's grandmother was seriously ill and asked me to serve for a few days." Dabao also went to grandma's house with me. The second child was left with no one to take care of him at home, so I went to her house to stay temporarily for a few days, and when I came back, I would pick him up immediately. β
Xing Da hesitated: "At that time, the second pension was on the contract, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this." β
Liu Cuihua pushed Xing Da: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will handle it single-handedly, and I can't make a mistake." Xing Da nodded secretly, and agreed to his wife's obscene plan, and the happy Liu Cuihua hugged him and kissed him fiercely.
The next morning, Liu Cuihua got up early in the morning and freshened up. also changed his son Dabao into new clothes and hats, carried a bag in his hand, contained a few changes of clothes, held Dabao in his left hand, led the demented Xing Er in his right hand, and went straight to the cattle farm. At the gate of the cattle farm, seeing that the car was still parked at the door of the office, obviously Sun San and Duo'er were in the field, so they called the gatekeeper to open the door, and the three of them came to Sun San and Duo'er's house, she first coughed lightly, gave a small signal inside, and then said to the window: "Dabao aunt, there is something to bother you to do it for you, my mother's mother's illness, lying in bed and can't get up, bring a message, tell me to serve her for a few days, Dabao, I will take him, he is not good to say anything else, but your second brother's situation is different, take him to his mother's house, Square peg. I am going to serve the patient, my hands are invincible, I really can't take care of your second brother, I think, let the second brother stay with you temporarily, at least two or three days, at most three or five days, I will go back home. As soon as I come back, I will immediately pick up someone, and as for the cost of food, I will calculate it when I take him home. β
Duo'er put on her clothes and pushed the door out, and saw that Liu Cuihua was dressed neatly, and she was still holding a change of clothes in her baggage, and even Dabao was dressed in new clothes and hats, which did not look like a fraud, that is, she was temporarily taken care of, so she nodded and agreed. and instructed Liu Cuihua to go early and return early, and when the mother and son went out of the gate, he instructed Daddy Niu to take care of Xing Er temporarily for a few days, lead him to the room on time for dinner, and arrange an empty room for Xing Er to live.
Time flies, more than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, Duo'er hasn't seen her sister-in-law come to pick up her second brother home, just as she probed to look outside, Sun San drove into the factory, saw Duo'er looking at the avenue outside, knowing that she was looking forward to her brother and sister-in-law to pick up people, he said angrily: "Look, they won't come to pick up this dementia, I heard people say, your sister-in-law didn't go to her mother's house at all." β
Doll whispered, "Unlikely, right? β
Sun San said angrily: "You are dead in the world!" This dementia is a foodie, and your brother and sister-in-law have long regarded him as a burden and kicked him over as a ball, and it just so happens that you don't know what the plan is, so you take it in your hands. As a result, it was smashed in your hands, this is good, you can raise this for two lifetimes. Seeing Duo'er bowing his head and being silent, he hurriedly said, "Why don't you go get food quickly, send him back quickly after dinner." β
Duo'er didn't dare to disobey Sun San's order, so she had to go get some food, let Xing Er eat it in a hurry, pull him into the car, and let Sun San drive him to Zhuang Shang's brother and sister-in-law's house to send people back.
Coincidentally, when Sun San lost his temper with Duo'er, he happened to be a fellow villager named Little Carpenter, who had just finished working in the factory, and passed by the factory office with a motorcycle. Your incident happened, and you were recognized by Boss Sun Sansun, and now you are on the way over, and this farce depends on how you end. β
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Liu Cuihua got this letter and immediately went home to make arrangements. When Duo'er pulled Xing Er into his house, her house was a different scene. Liu Cuihua has long since disappeared, and only Uncle Xing and his wife are left at home, one old and one young, who are cooking. Dabao burned the fire, and the punishment was holding his sleeves and steaming the nest, the two of them were busy sweating, Dabao wiped a nose of ash, and the melon skin flower hat also fell to the ground, and then looked at the body, wearing a small coat, dirty and black, at a glance, I knew that it was a wild child who had not been washed for many days and was not taken care of.
Duo'er asked, "Big brother, isn't my sister-in-law at home?" β
Xing Wei snorted and said, "It's true that she came back a few times, but she came home to get money for her mother's treatment." Originally, the water spilled by the married girl was not profitable or harmful, but her two brothers-in-law did not know what was going on, and when they separated the family, they divided three of her father's six rooms into three rooms, and did not leave a penny of your sister-in-law's belongings. This time her mother was sick, but she had to share the cost of medicine among the three families, three hundred and thirty-one, and not one less than one point. Also, what's even more infuriating is that your sister-in-law is the largest of the three, and she will first take out the money for her mother to take medicine, if she doesn't take it, the other two younger brothers won't take it, saying that she is the boss and wants to be an example for the elderly. When you split up your family and your house, why did you forget this example? Which law is this? β
Duo'er said: "If my sister-in-law doesn't go, it's over." β
Xing Da said: "Yes, it's over if she doesn't go, but it's her mother who is finished." At first, your sister-in-law also resisted and didn't take it, we shouldn't have taken it. But her two younger brothers saw that I didn't take the money, so they simply came to play the gong with their feet - they didn't meet, (the foot gong was a more advanced sieving tool in the old flour milling room, and they turned with their feet to separate the flour from the bran - author's note) hidden, and didn't even take a look at the noodles, seeing that Dabao and his grandmother had less gas in and more gas out, they would immediately die to show you. No matter what, there is only one way to wait for mourning. Those two brothers-in-law are really ruthless, and they said clearly, if I don't pay the money, I will let the old lady die on the kang, I really can't survive the two brothers-in-law, your sister-in-law came to the house overnight to get the money, and sent her mother to the hospital, which saved the life of the old comrade. In addition to cashing money, the nursing is also a three-three system, and his two sons can't take care of them for half a day. Duo'er, my grandfather and I are at home, it's not easy to mix these days. β
Duo'er was a little embarrassed and said: "Big brother, you also cool down my sister's difficulties, the money was returned to your family, and now my second brother is left in our house, I can handle it, but Sun San he doesn't do it, he turns his face with me twice in three days, I am really embarrassed to panic, marry Sun San, alas, γγγγγγγ" Duo'er shook her head and didn't go on.
Xing Da said: "It's even more difficult for me, I have to work during the day, so I have to lock Dabao at home." If the second child comes back, the two of them will not be against God. It is often said in newspapers and TV that neurological patients go crazy and cut their children with knives. β
Speaking of this, Duo'er retreated and didn't say anything anymore, but she still sat on the edge of the kang, without any intention of pulling Xing Er away. Seeing this, Xing Da hurriedly took out Zou Baba's thirty yuan from his trouser pocket and said: "This is the thirty yuan I earned, and I earned so much after carrying a sack all afternoon, his wife is sick, and my family's economy has collapsed." β
Duo'er saw that her eldest brother was working hard, and she was embarrassed to take his sweat money, so she instructed that as soon as the matter at her sister-in-law's mother's side was over, she would immediately take Xing Er back, which would make it difficult for her. Xing Dalian even agreed, sent Duo'er and Xing Er out of the gate, and quickly plugged in the gate and didn't come out. Duo'er led Xing Er back to the car. Sun San, who was waiting in the car, hurriedly asked, "Why are you back again?" β
Duo'er explained, Sun San pouted, ten thousand unhappy, no choice, had to curse and swear, and drove back to the cattle farm.
Time waits for no one, as the so-called time flies, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Duo'er went to buy vegetables, and met Liu Cuihua and her mother to catch the market, they were all relatives and knew each other very well. The old lady asked first: "Girl, are you going to buy vegetables at the market?" β
Duo'er was a little puzzled, seeing that the old lady was full of red light, with a tough body, her eyes were quite attentive, her ears were not deaf and her eyes were not dazzling, and she did not look like a bedridden patient. Does such a strong old man still need long-term care? She asked, "Auntie, aren't you lying on the kang and can't get up?" It doesn't look like you're sick. β
The old lady said, "Girl, why do you curse me?" When you were young, you came to our house with your brother to visit relatives, but I took good care of you, and I didn't want to offend you. Why do you want me to be bedridden? β
Duo'er hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Auntie, I don't dare to curse you." That's what my sister-in-law told me. She said that you were bedridden, and said that even the clothes were served to you, and that you might go to Huangquan Road one day. She also said to be by your side day and night to give you careγγγγγγγ β
When the old lady heard this, her face turned purple and black, and she no longer paid attention to Duo'er, and went straight to her daughter's door, looked at her daughter and son-in-law, and scolded as soon as she opened her mouth, scolding the two of them until they spurted blood. After scolding for a while, he was still angry, took off the soles of his shoes and wanted to beat his daughter. Xing Da and his wife knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, said a lot of soft words, and wanted to buy meat and fish to entertain the old lady, which made the old lady's anger go down. She taught her daughter, "I can't take care of your housework, but you can't use my illness as a shield to avoid responsibility." Cursed old lady, I died early, do you feel good? He also said that buying meat and fish is filial to me, bullshit, so I won't eat your stinky fish and rotten meat. If you don't curse me behind my back, I'll be satisfied. I don't know where in my life I hurt the principles of heaven and gave birth to such an ignorant thing. I would have known that you were like this, I would rather not give birth to you, you did something hurtful and unreasonable, don't say it's my daughter when you go out, I can't afford to lose that person! After scolding, he didn't wait for dinner, he rushed home angrily and left, only waiting for his daughter's family to come to visit relatives after the year, and teach another lesson.
Now that the matter has been tried, the truth is revealed. Liu Cuihua simply broke the jar and broke it, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and it is shameless to be embarrassed, and when it comes to the light. refused to allow Xing Er to go home. If you don't raise it, you love it.
Xing Duoer saw that her brother and sister-in-law were cheating and took the money and didn't support others. The seven orifices of qi are smoking. There's no way to take him. went to the court to sue them, although she was allowed to sue them, but she didn't want to do it so desperately, if she really sued his brother, it would be equivalent to cutting off her mother's road. Helpless, she could only lower her voice, endure Sun San's scolding, and reluctantly support Xing Er. After a long period of hard work, Sun San lost patience and beat and scolded Xing Erlai after drinking. The seventh aunt couldn't stand it, so she said a few words bluntly, and was expelled from the factory that night. Daddy Niu had no choice but to take Aunt Seven to live in his original hut by the railway. Sun San called his father and mother to live in the factory that night, and took over the errand of Aunt Qi and Daddy Niu's caretaker. Since then, Xing Er's situation has been even more difficult, sometimes he can only eat one meal a day, he is hungry, skinny, skinny, his eyes are dizzy, his legs are weak, and his three tendons are picked. Come to think of it, Sun San's father and mother are very good at settling accounts, and every time Xing Er eats one less meal, he can save his son three yuan.
Duo'er was miserable in her heart, but Sun San's father and mother watched it tightly, she secretly handed Xing Er a bun to eat, and immediately Sun San knew that it was indispensable to taunt or scold Duo'er, and Duo'er, who was scared, didn't dare to help Xing Er.
As time went on, Xing Er's body deteriorated, his face was full of dirt, his hair was scattered, his clothes were in tatters, and he was driven out of the factory by Sun San's parents, they were afraid that Xing Er would die in the factory of his son and grandson, for fear of attracting bad luck, and then later, Xing Er was tired and bent his body, clinging to the edge of the masonry outside the factory, unable to get up. Aunt Seven looked at Xing Er, who was dying, and remembered the many benefits he had done to herself in the past, and tears fell like rain. beckoned Daddy Niu to come over and let Daddy Niu kneel on the ground, she gently supported Xing Er on Daddy Niu's back, and the old couple carried Xing Er back to the hut on the edge of the railway, which saved Xing Er's life. The world is hot and cold, the winner is the king and the loser Kou, when Xing Er is in power, he puts a large group of brothers and friends, and no one comes forward to help him when he is in trouble. People, the eyes of power. It's sad. It is in response to the words of Huang Dakuo, the eastern abductor: A few people on the street who are poor ask, and the rich have distant relatives in the United States.
After Aunt Seven and Daddy Niu carried Xing Er back to the hut, they took care of it carefully, and it was both a chicken and a fish, and within half a month, Xing Er's body gradually recovered, and he went to the hospital for a check-up, bought a lot of nutritional medicine, and fed Xing Er on time. In the past few days, Xing Er has been able to walk around, so he went with him to catch up with him.
On the set, Niu Daddy passed by his son Niu Er's meat stall, and saw his son who had never been in contact, suddenly stretched out his hand to pull him by arm, Niu Daddy was wondering, only to see Niu Er reach out and drag out a woven bag from under the board, hand it over across the board, signal him to hurry up, and pointed to Hong Xing, who was selling pig's head meat not far away. Daddy Niu understood what his son meant, because he was afraid that his daughter-in-law Hong Xing would not follow him, so he quickly took the bag and carried it on his shoulder, followed behind Aunt Qi and Xing Er, and moved forward with the flow of people casually.
Hong Xing saw Xing Er coming over, hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, stared at him wide-eyed for a moment, and then stretched out three fingers and asked Xing Er, "How many is this?" Xing Er shook his head and didn't answer, Hong Xing reduced his fingers to two fingers and continued to ask: "How many fingers are these?" Say yes. β
Xing Er still shook her head, she couldn't count it, Xing Er, who had always been extremely smart, became like this, Hong Xing was very proud, she reduced her fingers to a second thumb, stretched out to Xing Er's face and shook it several times, raised her voice and asked loudly and urgently: "Say, how much is this?" Listening to that tone, it tasted of playfulness. Xing Er still couldn't answer, and Xiao Taohong, the female owner of the Dongguizi Hotel standing next to him, said: "Give him a piece of cooked meat to eat, and he will be able to remember." "For this Jianyì, Hong Xing doesn't do it, this half-hung girl, wants to show her ability in front of everyone, Xing Er can't answer, so she won't give him meat to eat, when she grinned and stretched her finger in front of Xing Er three times and shook it, she unexpectedly asked Xing Er to open her mouth and bite the second thumb, and she cried in pain and called her mother, snot and tears flowed down, and she felt salty when she flowed into her mouth. Fortunately, Xiao Taohong is experienced in this area, so she hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to pinch Xing Er's nose, Xing Er opened his mouth to gasp, and Hong Xing took the opportunity to pull out his fingers.
Niu Er heard his wife howl like a pig, and hurriedly ran over to see what was going on. When he learned that she was playing tricks on Xing Er and was bitten, he scolded angrily: "You deserve it, it's good to bite off all the dog's paws." See if you're still clever in the future? Look at Boss Xing as a nerd and blind your dog's eyes. He's sticking out a little toe that's bigger than your waist! Why don't you hurry up and give him a piece of pig's head meat to eat, as an apology, do you know if he is really stupid or fake? Maybe he is learning to turn the east of Li Er, who pretends to be stupid. β
Xiao Taohong was right when she thought about it, but she was afraid that Xing Er's revenge would take her back later, so she stuck out her tongue and hurriedly slipped away.
Hong Xing remembered Xing Er's methods back then, and was frightened in her heart, so she didn't care about the pain in her hand, so she quickly took a knife and cut off a large piece of good pig's head meat and handed it to Xing Er, and then waved her hand to send this stupid father away. Since then, no one has dared to play Xing Er.
Coming out of the set, Aunt Seven saw that Daddy Niu was carrying multiple woven bags on his back, and felt strange, and asked Daddy Niu about the origin of the bag. Daddy Niu laughed and said that his son was filial, which caused the seventh aunt to laugh for a while, "tsk" a few times, and praised Niu Er for his filial piety, and made a lot of progress. When the old two opened the bag to see, there was a big pig's head with good hair in it, and the two elders immediately rejoiced, led Xing Er home, cooked the pig's head on a fire, and the three of them had a full meal, so that the greedy insects that had climbed up for a long time were beaten down.
After being expelled from the cattle farm by Sun San, Aunt Qi and Daddy Niu lost their jobs. There is no income at home, sitting on the mountain, plus Xing Er seeing a doctor and taking medicine, after half a year, the earlier savings are not much, but Xing Er's medicine still has to be eaten, and the oil and water in life are not less. The county magistrate Hong learned about the difficult situation of Niu Da Daddy and invited Niu Da Daddy to help in his butcher shop, but it was just to burn the fire, wash and wash the goods, and the salary was also a lot, as much as Xing Da went to the labor market to earn.
There is also a small episode here, the good ones don't go out, and the bad ones spread thousands of miles. Since Xing Da and his family turned their brothers away, the vendors at the market have taken special care of them. He went to the Hong County magistrate's stall to buy meat, and others sold it to him for ten yuan a catty, and sold it to him for fifteen. He turned around and asked Niu Er how much a pound of meat, Niu Er stretched out two fingers, and he asked, "Two dollars a pound?" β
Niu Er nodded: "Two dollars and a tael." β
Xing Da asked: "Others buy meat for ten yuan?" β
Niu Er snorted from his nose and asked him, "Others?" Are you still human? You're a dog without a tail. After speaking, he tilted his head and ignored Xing Da.
Xing Da went to buy eggs, and the old lady said even more ugly: "If you want to eat eggs, go home and call your wife." He had no choice but to flee home in disgrace. It seems that the anger of the people cannot be violated, the road is uneven and everyone steps on it, and there are still many upright people in this world.
At noon on this day, Daddy Niu didn't go out to help County Magistrate Hong wash the pigs and go into the water, watching Xing Er digging soil under the railway trench, Aunt Qi was happy these days, she said that Xing Er was eating his fingers, and he was a toddler, so she concluded that Xing Er's brain began to move, which was a good sign. Daddy Niu wanted to smoke a cigarette pouch, but as soon as he touched his pocket, the match fell on the kang, went back to the house to get it, just came out with the match, he heard the train coming in the distance slamming the whistle, "woo" non-stop, when he looked up, it was broken, and saw Xing Er was listening to the sound with his ear on the railroad tracks, he didn't care about it, he used his strength, jumped on the railroad like a fly, and sacrificed his life to save Xing Er, can he get his wish?
