The Chinese really can't talk about it, they talk about Hu Bold during the day, and at night, Hu Bold returns. As soon as he came back, he took Xiao Juniang into the cave where they lived and muttered.

Xiaoju was very scared, the last time her father avoided her and her younger brother muttering, the consequence was that all the money saved in the family was sent to her grandparents' house. I wonder what the consequences of this muttering will be?

Xiao Ju could only look anxiously at the cave where her father and mother lived, but Zhuang Zhuang was good, and he still played with him without any sense of crisis. Sure enough, as Xiaoju expected, when the mother came out, her eyes were red. And Dad was helpless.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Xiao Ju asked tentatively.

"Your father doesn't care if we live or die! Only care about his father and mother brothers and sisters! When he came back this time, he heard that the land in the village had not been harvested because of the drought. He bought food with the money he had earned during this time. I met your eldest aunt halfway, and the grain that your father brought back was forcibly borrowed by those insatiable brothers, and there was nothing left for us! Xiao Ju Niang's eyes were red.

"child, why are you talking to children? What does she know? When Hu Daring heard his daughter-in-law and Xiaoju say this, his face suddenly darkened, he didn't want his children to have a bad opinion of his uncles and uncles in the future.

"Dad, I don't understand, but the food you bought back was borrowed by the uncles, so what do we eat? The noodle bowl at home is going to be empty again! Xiao Ju asked puzzled.

"This" Hu Daring was asked by Xiao Ju and couldn't answer.

"No, daddy! I'm going to go to them and get the food back!" You know, this year is different from the past, and if the drought continues like this, there may be no harvest for a year! If we don't get the food back, then our family may starve to death! Xiao Ju Niang said as she walked towards the kiln door.

Hu Daring wanted to stretch out his hand to stop him, but after listening to Xiao Ju Niang's words, he retracted his hand hesitantly. Xiaoju was not at ease, and hurriedly pulled Zhuang Zhuang to follow behind her mother, of course, she also had the idea of meeting these superb relatives in her heart. I have been in this world for nearly a year, and I have not met with this superb relative, and it is all the quarrel between my father and mother that outlines the best image of these people in my mind.

Xiao Ju Niang was thinking about going back to the food as she walked, and rushed to a few brothers' houses like this, she must have been like before, and she couldn't even enter the door. From the words of the child's father, the parents-in-law should not have received a little food. Then she will go to her parents-in-law to make a fire first, and let those people quarrel first.

Xiao Ju pulled Zhuang Zhuang and followed closely behind Xiao Ju Niang, and after entering the village, he walked for nearly twenty minutes and came to a mud-walled courtyard on the west side of the village. Seeing that my mother knocked on the door for a long time, someone came out and opened the courtyard door.

Xiao Ju stood behind her mother, carefully looking at the young man who opened the courtyard door and saw the three of them, his face became ugly.

Xiao Ju Niang didn't seem to see the other party's face, turned to Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang and said, "Xiao Ju, Zhuang Zhuang, call Xiao Uncle!" ”

When Xiao Ju heard this, she suddenly realized that this was last year, so that her father let her grandparents borrow all the money in the family regardless of the life and death of the family, and helped the engaged uncle. But at this time, it seems that last year, my father even wanted to let his wife and children starve and help him, but he didn't get his gratitude!

Looking at the other party's impatient face, Xiao Ju's heart adjusted the index of future interaction with him to the lowest. But at this time, he put all his thoughts down, and shouted sweetly at this so-called uncle: "Uncle! Zhuang Zhuang also shouted.

This uncle didn't pay attention to the smiling faces of the big and two small ones in front of him, and said viciously: "Fifth sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Daddy is not empty! ”

Xiao Juniang didn't seem to understand the other party's eager look at all, and said with a smile: "Little brother, that's the case!" In this year's drought, my family was boldly worried that the people in my family would not have enough food, so I bought a lot of grain and noodles yesterday and rushed back to subsidize everyone! ”

When the young man heard this, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Oh? Fifth sister-in-law, where is the grain and noodles that the fifth brother bought? Do you want me to help drive the donkey cart back? ”

"Huh? Little brother, you don't even know? Because I came back too late yesterday, I asked a few brothers to go back to my father and mother first, and said that they would all come over today to divide the points! Xiao Ju Niang asked puzzled. Xiao Ju looked at this shrewd and clever mother, and was really a little surprised.

"What do you say? The grain was taken away by those four greedy guys? The young man's face darkened when he heard Xiao Juniang's words, "Fifth brother is too, why don't you personally send the grain and noodles to your father?" It's strange that those guys are willing to take it out now! In the first half of this year, everyone did not have a harvest! ”

Xiao Juniang's face was full of surprise, so she asked puzzledly: "Little brother, there is a part of the bold filial piety to my father and mother, how can a few brothers swallow it privately?" What's more, my family's share is still inside! Could it be that they are even greedy for my family's share? Doesn't that chill the boldness? ”

"Fifth sister-in-law, don't talk about this! You better come into the house and talk to your father about it! The young man hurriedly opened the courtyard gate, let Xiao Ju Niang, Xiao Ju, and Zhuang Zhuang enter the courtyard gate, and hurriedly led the three of them through the courtyard and towards the main house.

Xiao Ju looked around while walking, this is a small courtyard house with mud walls and blue tiles, five main rooms, and the outhouse that extends out is the kitchen. There are two rooms in the front yard in the east and west wings! It looks neat and clean, and it doesn't look shabby. Compared to her cave, this place is simply paradise.

Entering the lobby of the main room, Xiao Ju saw a middle-aged woman under the age of fifty and a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, sitting on the kang in the hall and sewing clothes. Seeing the young man who hurriedly walked in, the middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Hu Wang, who is here?" ”

"Mother, it's the fifth sister-in-law and niece!" The young man named Hu Wang replied hurriedly.

"Oh? What are they doing here? You won't have anything to eat, so you'll borrow food, right? Don't open the door! You go and tell me I don't have anything to borrow! Let them go! The middle-aged woman said with an unhappy face.

"Mother, isn't that good? After all, that's your grandson and granddaughter, too! The young girl who was sitting on the kang with the middle-aged woman said a little unbearably.

"How can I be blessed? I have my own grandchildren and granddaughters! The middle-aged woman said angrily. It's a pity that as soon as she finished saying this, she found Xiao Ju Niang and her pair of children standing quietly at the door of the hall. The look on his face suddenly became embarrassed.

Annoyed, he put down the clothes he was sewing hard, and said to Xiao Juniang in an unkind tone: "Dead man? Didn't make a sound when you came in? Don't know what to call someone? What's the quick talk? I'm not as blessed as you are, I don't have to do anything to eat! ”

Xiao Ju Niang didn't seem to hear the other party's kindness, so she stepped forward very calmly, called "Niang", and then said her words to Uncle Hu Wang again, and the middle-aged woman's face became even darker. said to his uncle Hu Wang: "Hu Wang, go and call those ungrateful guys over to me!" Hu Baobao, you go and see if your father is in the backyard and ask him to come to the hall. ”

Xiao Ju has been standing quietly behind her mother, listening and observing carefully, from their conversation, she knows that the person who sits on the kang and sews clothes, and dislikes their family is her grandmother.

And from what she said just now, Xiaoju guessed that her father should not be born to this grandmother, otherwise there would not be her sentence: I have my own grandson and granddaughter! And Hu Baobao, who listened to the words of this non-grandmother, got up and went to the backyard to call people, and it was the sister-in-law.

Soon the sister-in-law came to the hall with a tall middle-aged man, and the man nodded kindly when he saw Xiao Juniang. After sitting down on the kang in the hall, he beckoned to Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang who were standing behind Xiao Ju Niang and said, "Xiao Ju, Zhuang Zhuang, come over to grandpa, let grandpa see if he has grown taller?" ”

Xiao Ju paused for a while, and Xiao Ju Niang gave her a look and asked her to go quickly. So she pulled Zhuang Zhuang and walked slowly to this grandfather. In the end, he still laughed and shouted: "Grandpa! Zhuang Zhuang was also smart, and immediately followed Xiao Ju and shouted: "Grandpa! ”

Listening to Xiao Ju and Zhuangzhuang's cries, Grandpa laughed so much that the wrinkles on his face were much more. It seems to be quite loving. Xiao Ju was a little puzzled in her heart, grandpa didn't seem to be a harsh person, why was her father always squeezed? Can't get through it at home?

It didn't take long for Uncle Hu Wang to enter the hall with four typical northern stout men, and Xiao Ju pulled Zhuang back to his mother and looked at the four stout men. These four people look very similar to their grandfather, and their bodies are also very similar! Xiao Ju thinks about her father again, it doesn't seem to be very similar to the family's appearance, he looks much thinner, and his height is not so tall. Could it be that her father is really as grandma just revealed, not born by grandpa and grandma?

"child, why did you call the children back today? Can I help you? Grandpa looked at the room full of people and asked with a frown.

"His father, the good son we raised, the grain that Hu Daring bought back yesterday was privately divided by these few! I also swallowed the share that boldly honored us! These unfilial things! Grandma said hatefully.

"Hu Da, you are the boss, tell me what the hell is going on?" Grandpa listened to grandma's words, his face sank, and in Xiaoju's eyes, he was a little dignified.

"Dad, my mother must have made a mistake! It's not too busy, forget about it all at once! We will go home immediately and bring the grain and noodles over and let the old man share it himself! Hu Da saw that yesterday's robbery of the fifth brother's grain was exposed, and hurriedly explained that the crime of unfilial piety could not be beared, otherwise it would affect the foothold of several children in the village in the future.

I had no choice but to hand over the grain. But the thought of handing over the grain noodles that had already entered the house made my heart hurt, otherwise I wouldn't have to worry about the second half of this year. Now we have to find another way. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly glared at Xiao Juniang who was standing on the side, this aunt is too fine, not as easy to coax as the fifth brother.
