Dad sighed, sat on the edge of the kang and picked up a cigarette to smoke. Looking up at me tidying up the table, I tried to speak a few times, but in the end I held back.

I glanced at him, "Dad, what do you want to say?" ”

Dad said, "Kasumiko, how much can you earn a month now by making clothes?" Your school has also waived your tuition, is there any left? Treat it as if I borrowed it, and I will pay you back in the future. Your mother's body can't go to work at all. We're all family, after all. ”

I laughed, it turned out that he didn't want his daughter-in-law to suffer, so he hit his daughter with the idea. "Dad, the little money I've saved now, except for the money to buy books and eat, there is not much left. If you want to prepare for high school, don't embarrass me, I don't know who wants money yet. I said and turned to go out, grabbing a rag to wipe down the stove.

Wen Li sobbed and cried in the back room: "I'm sorry, if I hadn't had to learn a specialty, I wouldn't have made everyone so unhappy." ”

Wu Ying hugged Wen Li and choked: "I'm sorry! It's my mother's incompetence, I'll go to work at the beginning of spring, and I'll definitely let you learn to dance! ”

Wenbao couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted at me: "Zheng Wenxia, are you embarrassed." The family has become like this because of you! ”

I was listening to him, so I rushed in and slammed the rag in my hand to the ground: "What are you talking about? Why is my family like this? ”

"Originally, Dad asked you to come down and not read, but you have to listen, and now it's like this!"

I sneered: "You studied bullshit by yourself, you were all expelled, why did you lick your face and continue to go to school?" I take the first exam every time, and my tuition is also earned by myself, are you embarrassed to let me down? As long as it is the money you spend, it doesn't matter if he learns to sing, learn martial arts, and buy new clothes, it is right, and if I don't earn money for you, I am not filial and ignorant? ”

Wenbao was about to rush down the kang to hit me, but Wu Ying held him down, she wiped her tears and said, "Xiazi! Don't talk about it. I know you hate me, but I can't help it, but if I have some ability, I won't be so embarrassed. ”

"You don't come to this set! You spend your own money like running water, you don't have any calculations, and when you don't have money, you know the idea of beating grandma, what grievances are you pretending to be here? ”

"How did I spend my money so much?" She said as she looked at me through gritted teeth.

"You give your son martial arts to beat me, and the teacher you ask for tutoring is useless! Give them eggs, milk, fish and meat every day, and buy so many clothes when they spend, it would be strange if there was money left! Do you see how the other houses in our house live like this? Zhao Bo's family is a dual-income worker, but Liu Meili has not lived like you! As a housewife, you shouldn't take a good look at it, just know that you are embarrassed to dig money from others? ”

Wu Ying covered her face and cried: "Strong, what the hell have I done, I have to be scolded by her pointing at her nose like this!" ”

Dad raised his hand and grabbed his hair: "Don't make any noise!" It's my incompetence that makes you all hate me so much. Is this the Chinese New Year? This is obviously torture me, I knew that it was better to farm in the village. ”

I sneered: "You are willing to farm, your wife and children are not, they are used to enjoying it, you see what they will do when they go back to the countryside, you will know the waste lying on you and grandma's body to suck blood!" ”

"Shut up, get out!" Dad shouted.

I turned around and walked away, and he was annoyed.

Wen Bao was left shouting over there, Wu Ying and Wen Li were crying, and my dad was sitting there without saying a word.

I brushed the bowl back to the hut, and when I saw my grandmother leaning against the quilt in a daze, I walked over and said, "Milk, you don't have to worry about it." They'll be gone in a moment. ”

Milk looked at me cautiously: "Kasumiko, give them a little more money, I won't care about it after this time." Okay? ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Milk, this is your money, you want to spend it depends on what you mean, don't ask me." It's just that if you squeeze yourself out, they won't thank you, they will only feel that you have money in your hands and are not willing to give. ”

Grandma said: "Every family is like this, in fact, now that the days are like this, I am already very content, you don't know that when I was young, I was widowed and took your father, and even ate the roots, I was fine." I'm just worried that you'll be angry. ”

I smiled and shook my head: "I'm not angry. , I just want you to be good. ”

There were already frequent firecrackers outside, but our house was unusually quiet.

Grandma called my dad into the hut and opened his close-fitting cloth bag, which contained some gross tickets, as well as a stack of brand-new ten-yuan tickets: "Qiangzi, the fifty yuan you gave me before, plus the New Year's money you gave to Xiazi, the money to buy clothes, and the twenty yuan given by Wang Fu's family, will be returned to you." I'll add a little more, make up two hundred, I'll leave fifty for Xiazi to go to school, and the rest of the money in addition to buying seeds and fertilizers, there are only more than twenty to buy shrouds and coffins, you can also see, I really don't have any money, you just take the money to Wen Li to learn specialty. ”

My dad lowered his head, and his voice couldn't help but tremble: "Mom, I'm sorry for you!" It's the son who is not filial! I can't ask for this money, Xiazi was right just now, we eat and drink spicy food in the city, we have long been used to it, and we don't care what kind of life you live in the village, I will go back and let Wu Ying go to work, and then take out those old clothes to exchange for some money. ”

"Hadrons...; …; ”

"It's decided, mother, it's not early, we're going back, do you want to go back with us?"

I shook my head, and my dad seemed to have anticipated my thoughts, so he didn't say anything more, but turned around and walked out.

Not long after, Wu Ying's cry came from the big house: "You promised me before, why did it become like this!" You want to save face, but don't we live? We don't have the money to support us until next month? ”

Dad said: "You really don't want to go to work, I won't force you, let Wenbao come down, anyway, he won't be able to pass the exam at all!" ”

Wu Ying screamed: "No, he is my son, I absolutely can't let him come down without graduating from elementary school!" ”

"Then Wen Xia, can you let her down with peace of mind? I can also see that the virtuous people you said are all fake, just to pay for my mother! Dad shouted.

"Zheng Gangqiang, I've been married to you for so many years, and you see me like this?"

The two of them quarreled, the corners of my mouth hooked, and I didn't go out, and stayed directly in the hut with my grandmother.

After a while, my dad came in, bowed to my grandmother, and then choked up and said, "I'm sorry Mom, I'll lend you a little money first, and I'll pay you back when I spend it!" He said that he picked up the two hundred yuan on the kang, and then left without looking back, and he felt shameless now.

Grandma sighed and went out to clean up the house with a rag.

I leaned against the window and watched my dad lead Wu Ying and the two children out, Wu Ying stopped crying, she stood there straight, her expression was a little wooden, she was a winner, but she didn't have a happy expression.

Wen Bao clamored to eat chicken: "Didn't you say you were going to take the chicken?" ”

"Didn't they all get chicken plague and die? Mom went back and bought chickens to help you make them. Wu Ying helped him put on his hat.

Dad walked out dejectedly, Wu Ying said, "You don't want to leave without saying a word to Mom?" ”

"What other face to talk to your mother, you can say it yourself!" He walked out in stride. Wu Ying bit her lip and looked at the hut, and led the two children away.

I got off the kang and said, "I'm going to get those things back." ”

Grandma didn't speak, she was wiping the kang mat with her back to me, and I guessed she must have been crying. The son is so boneless, he protects his wife with all his might, and he doesn't know how to be thrifty, how many times can he take it even if his mother asks for money?

I went to Jin Xiu's house and saw her aunt Jin Cuilan chopping wood in the yard, and when she saw me coming, she hurriedly greeted: "Are you here?" ”

I smiled and said, "Well, I'm going to take things away." ”

Jin Xiu followed her parents to the door, Jin Cuilan dragged the bags of food and a few chickens from the hut out, I dragged things and just wanted to leave, the door of the hut opened, and Zhang Ning had already walked out.

"Mom, I'll leave today, just go back with Liu Bin."

He was wearing a military uniform, but he felt very lazy, which was completely different from Liu Bin and Lin Tian's temperament.

He looked at me with a look of contempt in his eyes: "Borrowed something from my house again?" ”

I don't squeak, this person's character is really not good, I don't bother to pay attention to it.

"I said you're not too young, how can you get old and eat and drink at my house."

Jin Cuilan pushed his shoulders and walked out: "What do you know, hurry up, be careful on the way back." ”

"I know, you give me some money, Mom!" Zhang Ning stretched out his hand.

"Didn't your dad just give it to you before the Chinese New Year?"

"Aren't I going to meet a few friends, I should go back to the army after the New Year, I always have to go down to the restaurant to have a meal together, I'm tired of staying in this village, it's not for you, I don't suffer here." Zhang Ning said that she had already squatted on her mother's side and took it.

Jin Cuilan could only give him ten yuan.

Zhang Ning grabbed it and ran away, I blocked the door with the bag, and he jumped directly from it without looking back.

Jin Cuilan came over to help me get the bag: "This kid grew up in the city, so he is too selfish. ”

I smiled, "It's okay, I can do it myself." ”

She helped me get the chickens and all the food back. With these things, my grandmother and I haven't cooked much for nearly a month, which is a lot easier.

Throughout the first month, I couldn't use needle and thread, so I taught myself physics in the second year of junior high school and chemistry in the third year of junior high school, and I also did the questions in the two exercise books that Lin Tian gave to my nephew, of course, I didn't write on it, I just took the paper and thanked me for the calculation, and I found that the accuracy was not bad.

I helped Jin Xiu teach the math of the first semester in advance.

Jin Xiu rubbed his head and said, "Xiazi, I have a headache, this knowledge is so difficult." ”

"It's okay, don't I have it? I'll let you do well. ”

"yes, I know." She smiled.
