After eating, Wang Ying took out the prepared passbook from the house, "Mother." She handed the passbook to Sun Xiufang's hand, "Dayong gave a pension of 900 yuan in the unit, I kept 500, I want to keep the 400 yuan for you, you are old, you have two coins in your hand, you keep it, don't give it to anyone, it's convenient for yourself." ”

At the mention of money, Ruimin's ears were ridged, his eyes fell on the deposit fold, and he was glad that he was back.

Sun Xiufang followed Wang Ying, she couldn't spend money at all, everything that was missing at home was bought by Wang Ying, she took the deposit book and looked left and right, and said, "I don't need money." ”

"I know you don't usually need it, mother, you just keep it, and then take it out when you use it."

Ruimin's eyes were glued to the deposit fold and he couldn't pull it out, he looked at Sun Xiufang.

Sun Xiufang felt her son's gaze, turned her head, and handed the deposit to Ruimin, "Fourth, give it to you." ”

"Okay, mother, I'll keep it for you." Ruimin immediately smiled, and quickly folded the deposit into his pocket, so fast that he seemed to be afraid that someone would rob him. He secretly made up his mind that as soon as the Spring Festival holiday was over, he would go to the city to take out the money and deposit it in his name.

In Sun Xiufang's heart, her son is her relative, and her daughter-in-law is an outsider at all, especially a widowed daughter-in-law, who remarries one day, and is not a member of her own family, even if she doesn't need this money, she didn't expect that her daughter-in-law still has four granddaughters and grandchildren to support, she still thinks about her son.

This, this, this, Wang Yingdeng was dumbfounded, this is completely different from what he imagined, shouldn't her mother-in-law be moved to tears?

Wang Ying didn't expect her kindness to fall into such a field, she never dreamed that Sun Xiufang would give this money to Ruimin, and when the money was in Ruimin's hands, could it be returned to Sun Xiufang, it was impossible, that was Ruimin's money, this was the child's father's pension, you didn't need to pay it back to the children, what happened if you gave this money to an outsider?

Wang Ying felt very uncomfortable, Dayong was gone, and her four young grandsons were still not as important as her sons in the eyes of her grandmother.

At night, the more Wang Ying thought about it, the more sad he became, he really felt worthless for Shi Dayong, when you were alive, you poured out your heart and lungs for your family, and when you died, who would worry about your children a little more? Looking at Ruimin's performance in the past few days, it is enough to make people's hearts cold, when everyone is sad, not only can they not see how many sad expressions on Ruimin's face, but they can also detect that he has a trace of impatience.

Dayong's aftermath was all after his sister helped him run before and after, and Ruicheng and Ruimin didn't ask anything at home every day, just waiting for dinner.

Wang Ying covered her head with the quilt and cried, the more she cried, the louder she became, Shi Ke heard it, and hurriedly threw herself to her mother's pillow and shouted worriedly, "Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Ying stretched out her hand to the quilt, grabbed her daughter's head, and said in a choked voice, "Mom...... Mom is fine. ”

Mom cried again, when the second aunt was there, she could find the second aunt, but the second aunt was gone, who should I find? Shi Ke looked at the grandmother in the outhouse, turned his head and ran out, "Grandma, grandma." Shi Ke took Sun Xiufang's hand and walked to the back room, "Look at my mother crying again." ”

"Why are you crying again?" Sun Xiufang is glutinous, since she gave the money to Ruimin, she also felt that it was not appropriate.

Wang Ying lifted the quilt, wiped the tears on his face with his hand, sniffed and said, "Don't worry about me, I had a nightmare." ”

Wang Ying was disheartened, and even felt that it was not interesting to live, and dreamed of Shi Dayong at night, threw herself into his arms and cried well.

After Shi Dayong left, Wang Ying slept in the middle in order to take care of the children at night, hugged and thought about it and Nian Nian slept on this end, Shi Ke and An An The two older children slept on her feet, and at night, she would touch them with her feet to see if there was a quilt.

Shi Ke woke up in the middle of the night, and heard her mother sobbing, she thought her mother was still crying, so she leaned on her mother's face and looked at it for a while, and found that her mother was indeed asleep, so she put her mind at ease, this time her mother was really dreaming.

What kind of nightmare did that have to make my mother cry so sadly? Shi Ke didn't want her mother to be sad, she wanted to wake up her mother, so she put her mouth to her mother's ear and whispered, "Mom, wake up." ”

Wang Yingzheng was crying heartily, hearing her daughter's voice, she frowned, she didn't want to wake up, she turned over and continued to sleep.

Shi Ke listened attentively, but did not hear his mother's choking, so it was convenient to get out of bed, and when he climbed back to the bed, he put his ear on his mother's cheek and listened, making sure that his mother was not crying again, and then went back to the bed to sleep.

This year, Zhang Qiang is also having a bad time, in previous years, when Dayong did not return to his hometown, the two of them were rushing to eat, today you come to my house for a meal, tomorrow I will go to your house for a meal, the two families are lively together, especially he and Dayong, every day is slightly drunk, when they are full, they take the children to play cards, go shopping, not to mention how relaxed and comfortable the small day is.

After eating, the table was cleaned up, Cui Yunxiang, as in previous years, took out the two newly bought cards and put them on the table, squeezing his eyes at Zhang Jun, "Junzi, fight the landlord tonight and knock your father down." ”

"Okay!" Zhang Jun excitedly drew the cards and began to unseal.

Zhang Qiang grinned, "When will I become a landlord?" ”

Cui Yunxiang sat down next to Zhang Jun, "Oppressed our mother for a year, and today we are going to turn over and be the master." ”

Said to play cards, Zhang Qiang is just to make the mother a few happy, the more he loses, the happier the mother, in previous years playing cards, Zhang Qiang is deliberately releasing water, let the children win, this year he is absent-minded, almost never won, although the face is full of notes, but the atmosphere is not as happy as in previous years, playing with all the intention of Xingshan does not want to play, it stands to reason that the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve will be vigiled, the four people sat with small eyes for a while, the sleepy gods who sat up, the Zhang Jun brothers yawned one after another, and their eyes were sticky together.

"Go to sleep." Zhang Qiang pulled all the notes down with a sloppy face.

"Okay, sleep." Cui Yunxiang went to spread the quilt as she spoke, and as soon as Brother Zhang Jun heard that he could sleep, he climbed into bed with half-squinted eyes.

"It's really boring to celebrate the New Year this year." Zhang Qiang lay on his side with Cui Yunxiang in front of him, picked up a strand of her hair scattered on the pillow, and twisted it between his fingers, "Child, you say, how good it would be if Dayong lived." ”

"Who said it wasn't coming." Cui Yunxiang sighed, "I don't know how the Yingzi family spent this year, they all complain about Chen Ping, the turtle grandson, if it weren't for him, Dayong wouldn't have died." ”

Speaking of Chen Ping, Zhang Qiang frowned in disgust, "I heard that this turtle son has been busy for the past few days during the Chinese New Year, running everywhere every day, giving gifts everywhere, saying that he is going to transfer out the transport team." ”

"What!" Cui Yunxiang's voice was three degrees higher, and as soon as the words came out, he was afraid of waking up his two sons, so he covered his mouth in a panic, lowered his voice and said, "Do you want to run away when this dog day pouts?" What a good thing can be! ”

Zhang Qiang's thoughts are not the same as Cui Yunxiang's, "Let's go, it's okay to go, save yourself from meeting every day, Wang Ying is upset." ”

Cui Yunxiang thought about it, Zhang Qiang was right, everyone is in a family home, every day when they look up and don't look down, it's okay if they can't see it, they don't see it, they don't worry about it, when they see him, they will remember that Dayong died because of this turtle grandson, and they block their hearts every day, and their lives are not good.

Cui Yunxiang said hatefully, "Then let him get out of here, the farther he goes, the better." ”

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I heard the sound of New Year's greetings between neighbors early in the morning, Wang Ying's family can't go out to pay New Year's greetings this year, and the neighbors are not easy to come to her house. But someone just died, and they met and said that the New Year was okay, not good. It's okay not to say New Year, it's not good. Therefore, everyone automatically ignored Wang Ying's family.

That is, Cui Yunxiang, she has always regarded Wang Ying as a sister, got up early and made dumplings, and brought a plate to Wang Ying.

The family gathered together, reunited, the lively Baotun dumplings were festive, Dayong was gone, people were not reunited, Wang Ying didn't make dumplings yesterday, and the dumplings didn't have the heart to wrap, and they ate stews and steamed buns as usual.

Wang Ying heard the knock on the door, and at first she was a little strange, who would come to her house? After thinking about it again, I guessed that it was probably the child Cui Niang.

As expected, as soon as she guessed that it was Cui Yunxiang, Cui Yunxiang's loud voice rang out, "Yingzi, it's me, open the door for me." ”

Wang Ying hurriedly opened the door, "Oh, sister-in-law, why are you here?" ”

"The dumplings that have just come out of the pot, the pork and green onion filling, are fragrant, send a plate to you to taste." Cui Yunxiang was about to go to the house with dumplings, but found Wang Ying's red and swollen eyes at the first time.

"Yingzi, are you crying again at night?" Cui Yunxiang looked at Wang Ying's expression with concern, "Look at your swollen eyes, they are almost like two walnuts." ”

"It's fine." Wang Ying pursed her mouth, and her aggrieved eyes were covered with another layer of fog.

Cui Yunxiang entered the house, and when she saw Sun Xiufang, she wanted to say good New Year, but when the words reached the tip of her tongue, she swallowed back, "Auntie, ...... It's the New Year, try the dumplings I made. ”

"Cui Niang, happy New Year." Shi Ke led his younger brothers and sisters to pay New Year's greetings to Cui Yunxiang.

"Okay, okay." Cui Yunxiang squatted in front of the four sisters and brothers, and one of them fed a dumpling in his mouth, "Taste them all, Nian Nian, are Cui's mother's bags delicious?" ”

Nian Nian puffed out his cheeks, like a little squirrel chewing non-stop, "It's delicious." ”

Wang Ying came over with an empty bowl, "Thank you, Cui Niang." ”

"Thank you, Cui Niang."

"Thank you, Cui Liang."

Niannian's mouth was full, and her mother said that it was food.

"Good." Cui Yunxiang touched the back of Shi Nian's head sadly, and poured all the dumplings on the plate into the big bowl, "Okay, I'll go home first, Yingzi, you can come to my house if you're fine, let's talk." ”

"Sister-in-law, for the New Year, you look at my identity, it's unlucky." Wang Ying lowered her eyes sadly.

"Hey, look at what you want to do, how can you talk so much." Cui Yunxiang said as she walked forward.

"Then I'll send you." Wang Ying put the bowl on the dining table and said to Shi Ke: "Coco, go get chopsticks, don't forget to give them to grandma." ”
