Towards the end of the year, Sangping was so busy that he hit the back of his head with his heel. In addition to the brick factory and the construction site, he had to ask for accounts everywhere, and every time he left the house, he could not return until evening.

He won't come back empty-handed.

Yu Sheng will leave him food when he returns.

Sang Ping is tired today, and when he comes back, he is dusty, and he devours it when he eats.

Seeing how many days he hadn't eaten, Yu Sheng couldn't help but say, "You won't go out early and haven't eaten until now, right?" ”

"I ate a little bit at noon." Sang Ping said, "The food on the site was so poor that I rearranged it. I've been busy with this afternoon. The new ones who cooked made a good meal, and I didn't bother to eat when I came back in a hurry. I didn't leave home today, right? ”

Yu Sheng sighed, "It's the end of the year, and everyone wants to have a good year next." You go out to ask for an account, and a few of them come to us to borrow money. ”

Sang Ping had expected this.

He was discharged from the army and came back to start a business, and every year people asked him to borrow money for the New Year.

Sang Ping asked, "Who are they?" ”

"Two families in our village." Yu Sheng paused, and then said, "And our uncle's family." ”

Sang Ping was pleasantly surprised: "Uncle is here!" Why didn't you say it earlier! You didn't let him go back, did you? ”

"You're stupid to me. They came from Tong County, so far away, how could I possibly let them go back. Yu Sheng pointed upstairs and whispered, "I'm already asleep upstairs." ”

They?

Sang Ping: "Who else besides our uncle?" ”

Yu Sheng: "Our grandma is here too." ”

Sang Ping's maiden surname is Shao, a native of Tong County. Tong County is separated by half a province from Yu County.

The Shaw family, who married into the Sang family, also has an old lady and a younger brother. The younger brother Shao Zhi is old and young, and he has to raise a daughter-in-law who is not worry-free, and the Shao family has been living a very poor life.

Shao Zhizhong took his wife across half a province and came here from Tong County.

Sang Ping instructed: "Our grandma and uncle are here, when I don't stay at home, you have to entertain well." ”

Yu Sheng nodded, "I know." ”

Shao Zhizhong is a farmer, he has no culture, he knows how to work hard to farm and support his family, and he never thought of jumping out of this circle.

Shao Zhizhong came downstairs with his hands behind his back.

Sang Ping immediately got up to greet him, "Uncle, you didn't sleep." ”

"Hmph." Shao Zhizhong let out a weird laugh, walked past him to the table and sat down, and slowly rolled himself a Mohe cigarette. "You remember my uncle. If you don't want to go to Tongxian to see us, you want me to take your grandmother all the way to see you. I didn't see you for a day, and I thought you were deliberately hiding from us. ”

The way he spoke in a manner made Sang Ping's happy face a faint gloomy color.

In fact, Sang Ping's relationship with his mother's family is not very close. Meet a kiss, that's a kiss. When his mother was alive, the two families didn't have much contact. During the Chinese New Year, relatives don't leave.

But over the years, Sang Ping has helped his mother's family a lot.

No matter how much his mother's family remembers him, no matter what his mother's family is, anyway, he has a clear conscience and is benevolent.

Shao Zhizhong relied on himself to be Sang Ping's elder, and he always pretended to be posturing when talking to him. What's more, he looks down on Yu Sheng, a pampered little daughter-in-law from the city.

"Daughter-in-law, you go and drink for two." Shao Zhizhong didn't look at her when he told Yu Sheng to do things.

Yu Sheng smiled and said, "Hey." You two haven't seen each other in a long time, so let's talk. ”

Sang Ping lowered his face, "I've eaten everything, and what kind of snacks do you eat?" Uncle, let's talk about it tomorrow. It's not early, you go up and go to bed early. I'm tired all day, so I ate and washed and slept. ”

Shao Zhizhong frowned dissatisfiedly, "Ping, I took your grandmother all the way to look for you, don't be perfunctory to me." ”

"I serve you with delicious food and drink, and I will perfunctory you. What can I do to you? ”

Sangping's words are full of emotion, and it is not difficult for people to hear.

Shao Zhizhong winced, and his lofty posture was somewhat restrained.

Yu Sheng stepped aside and asked, "Uncle, if you're hungry, I'll give you a bowl of noodles." ”

Seeing Sang Ping's cold look, Shao Zhizhong dared to say that he was hungry.

After he finished his cigarette, he went upstairs.

Yu Sheng silently swept away the ashes he dusted off the ground.

"My uncle, he didn't kiss me at eleven o'clock. And he saw the money in my hand. Sang Ping snorted lightly, "Look at him like that, he doesn't smile at me, he makes it the same way I owe him." ”

"Alright." Yu Sheng smiled helplessly, "Ming'er, don't go out, leave home and talk to our uncle." ”

If he could, Sang Ping really didn't want to face Shao Zhizhong.

The Shao family did not suffer less.

Shaw's mother left early. My father married a continuation who was much younger than him. The little lady of the Shaw family gave birth to a younger brother, who is now Shao Zhizhong.

This little lady is a typical vicious stepmother. The old man of the Shao family was extremely indulgent to her.

When Shaw Brothers didn't go out, he stayed at home like an outsider, he was not allowed to eat, and she did all the work at home.

The Shaw family had a grudge against his mother's family, and after marrying into the Sang family, he slowly lost contact with his mother's family.

When the Shao family died, the Sang family brought the news of his death to the Shao family, and no one from the mother's family came to give him a ride.

After that, a fellow villager in the same village as the Shao family went back to work in Yu County, and told Shao Zhizhong that his little nephew had set up a factory and made a fortune. Shao Zhizhong crossed most of the provinces and cities that month to find Sang Ping in Chongqing County, borrowed a sum of money and left.

Since then, he has come to borrow money every year, but he has not been seen to repay the money.

Obviously very tired, Sang Ping lay down on the bed, but he couldn't sleep. As soon as he thought of Shao Zhizhong's appearance as an old man downstairs, he was upset.

He asked Yu Sheng sideways: "I didn't stay home today, and my uncle and grandmother didn't throw your face at you." ”

"I am the hostess of this house. What are they doing with me. It's just..."Yu Sheng wanted to speak and stopped.

Sangping: "What's it?" ”

"Today, our uncle is going to get Jinhua's sister-in-law and Aunt Peng to go. Jinhua's sister-in-law almost quarreled with him. Qingzi and they came back from school, and I saw that he and our grandmother were not happy. Yu Sheng sighed inwardly.

She couldn't even open her mouth to learn what she heard from Shao Zhizhong and Han Shi to Sang Ping.

Even if she didn't say it, Sang Ping could imagine how ugly Shao Zhizhong and Han Shi said behind everyone's back.

Sang Ping let out a long sigh.

What a bunch of unreassuring guys.

Early the next morning.

During the meal, Qingzi asked in a low voice: "Uncle, when will the uncle and the grandmother who came to our house yesterday leave?" ”

Sangping was impatient, "Is this something you should be concerned about?" Eat your food well, and go to school as soon as you eat. ”

Junzi asked uneasily: "Uncle Ping, can't we stay here in the future?" ”

"When did I say you can't live here?" Seeing Shao Zhizhong coming downstairs, Sang Ping deliberately amplified his voice, "I won't pick you up, you can stay here for as long as you want." ”

He said this to appease the hearts of Shunzi and their children, and he also deliberately said it to Shao Zhizhong.
