17. Chapter 17
Finally sent Pan Xiaoyan away, our heart hanging in the air finally had a trace of comfort, no matter how much hard work, this result is quite successful, thinking of the two nephews and the elderly mother, I breathed a long sigh of relief.
Since then, Xiaohai has indeed restrained a lot, but from time to time he still shows his residual feelings for that woman, going in and out with a tiger face every day, and he has no trace of kindness towards his daughter-in-law Xiaoyi.
For the sake of her two sons, in order to maintain the integrity of the family, in the face of her husband Xiaohai's aggressive posture, Xiao Yi, who has always been arrogant, suppressed her inner anger and chose to tolerate and accommodate, she carefully took care of her husband's mood, trying to use her generosity and warmth to win back her husband's heart, so that he would know his way back; While hovering between her husband and her family, maintaining a balance.
In order to keep this adopted son, so that this rickety home has a bottom-line guarantee, we didn't dare to blame Xiaohai for the once derailed Xiaohai, or as always, as if this incident had never happened, everyone went back every weekend, talking and laughing together, but the worries in our hearts did not stop for a day - we were always worried that Xiaohai and the woman would hook up again, If that's the case - I don't dare to think about it.
"The little brother who grew up watching from a young age will not be ruthless to this point!" I always consoled myself.
In order to avoid my worries becoming a reality, I quietly made a request.
In fact, after that day, his father confiscated Xiaohai's mobile phone and ID card, and of course searched all his private money, walked step by step, and went to the toilet to watch it, always on guard, afraid that he would run away.
The days were very peaceful for more than half a month, Xiaojun ate and slept every day, slept and ate, and when he was bored, he went to the village commissary to play cards, and his life was very leisurely.
Just after the Spring Festival, the weather is freezing and there is no work in the fields, the women in the village gather in groups to chat, the old man leans against the wall to bask in the sun, and the men run to the commissary after eating.
The commissary is a gambling den in Wangzhuang.
A lonely old man surnamed Zhang set up a card field there, while putting usury, while drawing some lottery heads, it was stinky all day long, but it was also very lively. That is also Xiaohai's favorite place, whether it is playing the trumpet at home; It's still out of part-time work, as long as it's like a greedy cat encountering a stinky salted fish, thinking and thinking about it.
's father hated this all his life, but his only son turned out to be like this, which made him feel quite a headache and couldn't help but be verbose, Xiaohai just let his father's nagging go his own way, and always did his own thing. At the beginning, Xiao Yi was also opposed, but seeing that the man was unwilling, he had no choice but to acquiesce, but secretly controlled the gambling money that only left for the man.
Xiaohai is still sensible, playing cards is only a small fight, but always lose more, win less, each time it is three or five hundred, in order to plug the hole, he hid the cat for his daughter-in-law, first when he was working, he deducted a little, but he really couldn't secretly ask his mother behind his back - the three sisters were afraid that their mother would be wronged, and every time they came, they would quietly give some pocket money, and she never rushed to the store, there was always a saving on hand, and she had always loved Xiaohai's mother, and gave him the money, and his mother never felt distressed.
The firecrackers of the Spring Festival have just passed, and it is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, and after eating the rice balls, the whole year is over, and the people in the village have started another round of return to the city.
If you want to go 369, everyone always likes to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac when you go out to work, and the 16th or 19th day of the first month is a good day to go out.
Xiao Hai and Xiao Yi originally planned to rush to Zhejiang after the Lantern Festival.
In August last year, they bought two stalls in the Suichang market in Zhejiang, spent tens of thousands of yuan, and planned to work hard for a year to earn 100,000 or 80,000 yuan.
The future I plan for them is very good: at the end of this year and in the second half of September next year at the latest, they will scrape together enough money to buy a house in the county, even if it is second-hand, and transfer the household registration of their two children, so that they can go to school in the city in September next year.
Then let the mother watch the children go to school in the city, the father planted those few acres of land at home, Xiaohai and Xiaoyi went to Zhejiang if they wanted to, and if they didn't want to go, they would find a job in the industrial park near the county seat, and the two of them had to have at least four or five thousand income a month, compared to those laid-off workers, raising two children was not a problem at all.
"With a house, the two children can enjoy the education in the city, and when the children are admitted to the university, they have a good job, and they don't have to work hard to make money like the two of you, that is, they are really far away from Beijing and Shanghai, and we can also support the elderly together, how good it is······" The happiness I describe seems to be within reach.
At that time, Xiaohai was indeed moved by what I said, and Xiaoyi was even more hesitant, the couple was full of money to buy a house and get their son to go to school in the city, but now Xiaohai has made such a show•······
After fifteen, it was nineteen in a blink of an eye, and the male laborers in the village were gradually gone, and the women who were hanging around the village were holding children; And the old men and grandmothers who stood against the wall.
Xiao Yi couldn't sit still: the stalls in Zhejiang cost tens of thousands of yuan, and the average price of a set in three days is more than 100 yuan a day, and now she and Xiaohai are working at home, and it is not a thing, the two children have to eat and drink, and earning money is the first priority.
"But if you want to go to Zhejiang, what should I do if Xiaohai and that woman get in touch again, when the man is gone, what money will he make, besides, such a trouble, can Pan Xiaoyan's husband not pay attention, people are sitting tigers, we are floating clouds, if it is really a little trick, it is Xiaohai who suffers" Our sisters are persuading Xiaoyi.
We are still worried about Xiaohai, it is really not a tiger to return to the mountains when he arrives in Zhejiang, and when he and Pan Xiaoyan hook up again, Xiaoyi's life is still not good, and the husband and wife quarrel, quarrel, and even ······ The consequences are not conceivable.
But in this way, the losses are indeed very large.
Xiao Yin was very distressed: You must know that the two vegetable stalls just bought in Zhejiang are a good time to make money, and there are also Zhejiang brand vans, if you come back, everything that has been operating for many years will be in vain.
"But what's the use of making more money, the real man has run away, this family is scattered, and it's not all in vain•······ When you come back, you are poorer, your children still have your father, you still have your husband, and this is still a complete family······" We did the work over and over again, and Xiao Yi's parents also made the most aggrieved ultimatum: if you want to continue to live, you must go back to Xuzhou and completely cut off contact with that woman.
The high-pressure situation and the many crises faced by Xiao Yi also made Xiao Yi fall into thinking, she thought about it, and finally made up her mind: the two of them went to Zhejiang together, sold everything quickly, and came back immediately to find a way.
Xiao Hai doesn't seem to have any objections to this decision.
The two discussed it for a while and prepared to leave.
I have a faint uneasiness in my heart, I have been worried that Xiao Yi's decision is a bit risky, it is really the two of them to Zhejiang, what if Xiao Hai insists on leaving Xiao Yi alone?
"Guarding people, I can't keep my heart, I can still watch him for the rest of my life, if that's the case, I don't have a problem" Xiao Yi replied without much confidence.
For the sake of insurance, he finally decided to take a child with at least one child to be tethered by his side, and he would not be so ruthless.
On the nineteenth day of the first month, the family of three packed up and set off.
Looking at the car going farther and farther, the family's heart hung high again.
