18 On the three generations of thrift, two people persuaded tolerate

When he got up early on Saturday morning, Zhiyuan didn't have time to wash his face and brush his teeth, so he went to the balcony to find his father-in-law first, picked up his crutches and checked left and right.

"Dad, your crutches are fine, right? If it's broken, buy one today! Zhiyuan tried it on his own.

"Hey, it works!" The old horse's eyebrows and eyes were sad.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a better and more expensive one when you leave!"

"Huh! That's fine! You remember! The old horse smiled slightly with his smoke, suddenly lowered his face and said, "Yingying's temper should be as peaceful as you are!" ”

"Doesn't that look like you? As soon as you turned off the sluice gate excitedly, she kicked the cane excitedly, and now even the boy has inherited your Ma family's style - an excited smashing faucet! I see that Yangyang's temper has also gotten bigger recently, and these two children have all run away with your genes! Zhiyuan spoke heartily and coaxed his father-in-law.

"Hahaha......" When the old horse heard the music, he choked with laughter. This laugh, last night's unhappiness was the same as the end of the cigarette in the cigarette warehouse, and it turned into a cloud of smoke in a blink of an eye.

At eight o'clock, the husband and wife went out to buy breakfast, and then the family of four and Xiaotang had breakfast together.

"Later, the two of us will pick up the boy, and it is not a way to live in someone's house!" Zhiyuan spoke.

Xiaotang saw that Lao Ma and Gui Ying didn't say anything, so he adjusted in the middle: "Yangyang fell asleep last night and farted, which scared me!" Haha......"

"Didn't wet the bed, did you?" Gui Ying asked.

"No bedwetting!"

"Dad, this is your favorite mutton fried bun!" Zhiyuan gave the old horse a golden fried bun.

"Hmm." The old horse nodded.

"Sister Yingying, let me tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Gui Ying raised her eyes and asked.

"I'm going to look for a house in the afternoon, around here. I want to live alone for a while, be quiet, and then look for a job again. ”

"Yes, I'll accompany you in the afternoon, I'm familiar with the surroundings."

"Hmm."

"And what about what you used to have in your house?"

"If I can find a house this afternoon, then I'll move things in the evening, I don't have many things!"

"Okay, we'll drive to help you move at night, and the three of us will work quickly!"

"Okay, it's just too much trouble for you!"

"So gracious! I didn't have a child to take care of back then, and I didn't pull you hard! ”

"Na...... I bought a high-speed rail ticket today, and the day after tomorrow - next Monday, I will send Yangyang to Hunan Mom! Zhiyuan spoke.

"Hmmm! If you stay a few more days, Mom will miss you! ”

Everyone looked down at Yangyang, and Xiao Tanhua didn't know what was going on.

"I'm going to let Yangyang stay for ten days, I won't stay, it's inconvenient!"

"Why is it inconvenient?" The old horse raised his eyes and asked.

"That...... My mom married her uncle...... He lives with his son, daughter-in-law and children, and his daughter-in-law doesn't go to work, so it's inconvenient for me to live there! Zhiyuan whispered.

"Oh, son, look at Mom, it's nothing to stay for two or three days!" The old horse said.

"Yes, but his home is tense, different from his hometown in Yongzhou, I will stay for one night at most!" Zhiyuan's eyebrows drooped.

"It's okay, you just send Yangyang over, Mom misses you and looks at Yangyang!" Gui Ying comforted her husband.

"Hmm." Zhiyuan nodded sadly.

"Is she used to being there alone when Yangyang is so young?" Xiaotang asked.

"She stays with her grandmother for a few days every year during the Chinese New Year, and when she is older this year, she should be fine! My mother-in-law is very nice to get along with and the kids love her! After Gui Ying finished speaking, she swept her eyes at the old horse.

After breakfast, everyone rests. Zhiyuan and Gui Ying changed their clothes and brought good things, and drove to pick up Zaizai.

The old horse was lying on the recliner, remembering that last night Tsai said that his feet smelled. He is so old that his body is stiff, and his body has grown up, and his right foot is still in a plaster, so he can't break his nose no matter how he breaks his foot! I can't smell it at all!

"Bao'er! Boa! Ripple! Come here. "The old horse is playing in the house.

"What's the matter?" Yang Yang ran out and asked.

"Come here! Come to Grandpa! The old horse spoke lightly.

"What for?" Yangyang pinched his right hand with his left hand, and stood alertly at a position one meter away from the old horse. The villain remembered the incident of stealing money and being beaten, and the picture of being found by the old man on the spot and threatening to beat her with a high cane is also remembered.

"Are you coming?" Lao Ma smiled and hooked his left hand, knowing that she had been separated for two days after being beaten, and she had been estranged from herself for two days.

"Humph! I don't! Yang Yang shook his hand and refused.

"Do you see any toys in this plaster cast?" The old horse gave her a look and stretched out his right foot to show Yangyang.

Yang Yang was a meter away, bending over and twisting his head to explore the inside of the plaster.

"You can't see it when you're standing there!" The old horse wants to be captured, put down his feet, and don't let the little ghost look at it.

"What kind of toy?" The little baby was curious and took half a step forward.

"Little Bunny...... A tiny bunny, hidden in a plaster! "The old horse patted the plaster.

Yang Yang took another half step forward, stood at the feet of the old horse, hunched over and looked down from above. At this time, the old horse deliberately raised her legs and feet so that she could see through the toes.

Yang Yang was fooled! Staring at the old horse's toes from a foot away. Seeing that the time had come, the old horse rubbed his foot and moved his foot in front of Yangyang's nose. Boy! That stinks - the stabbing of the facial features is completely closed, the smoke is churning, and the nerves are choking!

The four-year-old shook her head, sat on the ground with a flutter, inhaled heavily, retched twice to the right, and then moved a meter back, gasping for air.

A minute later, Xiao Tanhua cleared his senses, and then he returned to his soul! As soon as he came back to his senses, he retched twice at the old horse disgustingly! At this moment, Yang Yang was stunned in the world and remembered what had just happened? She concluded that she was deceived first, and then bullied and insulted! The villain's round eyes widened angrily, and he was so angry that he moved his butt back a few more times.

The old horse was speechless in shock, he didn't expect his toe seams to stink so much! He sat and watched, his eyes filled with guilt, distress and ridicule that children could not understand.

Who wants to cover his nose and small mouth, stand up slowly on the ground, look at the old horse with a complicated expression, and then turn around and leave, staring at the old horse with three steps and one turn along the way, his eyes are full of anger and grievances - this pair of old and young people is a bond!

Here, the husband and wife arrived downstairs at Hu Handian's house, and Tsai Zai packed up his things and went downstairs after saying hello to Handian's parents. The little three got into the car, and Zhiyuan drove back.

"Is there anything you'd like to say?" Gui Ying asked her son.

"I'm going to have my final exam next Saturday, so please let him stop bothering me! I didn't do well in the mock exams during this time, and I was under a lot of pressure! Tsai Tsai lowered his head and rubbed his hands.

"Don't worry about this, your grandfather is not unreasonable, Dad will tell him." Zhiyuan turned his head and glanced at Zaizi and continued to drive.

"Boy, Mom gave you something!" Gui Ying took out a box from her bag - it was a small box for the golden Buddha statue given by Lao Ma to Tsai Tsai, Gui Ying handed the box to Tsai Tsai and said, "This is given to you by Grandpa, you grow up, keep it for yourself." ”

"You want to buy me?" Tsai Tsai was holding the box, not knowing whether to ask for it or not.

"Who wants to buy you? After you left yesterday, I had a big fight with him for you, and you didn't believe your dad! ”

Tsai Tsai looked at Zhiyuan in the rearview mirror, and Zhiyuan nodded deeply.

"Na...... Did you get a result? ”

"Hehehe......" Gui Ying gasped and smiled bitterly: "If the quarrel can produce results, why do you have to talk and discuss?" ”

"Then what do you mean by giving me this Buddha statue?" Tsai Tsai flipped the box in his hand.

"I cried most of the night last night, couldn't sleep, and thought about a lot of things. Yes! It's not right for your grandfather to be angry at you, but have you ever thought about what he is angry for? ”

Gui Ying swallowed her saliva, pursed her lips and said, "I couldn't sleep last night, and I remembered a lot of things when I was a childβ€”very uncomfortable!" When I was a child, there was no running water in our village, so we used two kinds of water for drinking water – one was from the well, and the other was from the river southwest of the village. The well water is very little and turbid, the river is far away from the village, and the conditions are very difficult, and I sometimes dream that I carry a bucket and fetch water leisurely! Your grandmother is also hard, a woman carries a flat pole to beat two large buckets of water! Your grandfather also worked hard, pushing a pole to beat five or six buckets of water! Every time it rains at home, hurry up with buckets and pots to get water! Mom only took a bath once a year during the New Year, and it was even more difficult to wash clothes, and there were a lot of red bugs in the water in the summer, which was very scary, but it was really the water we ate! It's not like our family, Duanjia Town is on high ground, and there are hundreds of villages in a radius like this! ”

"It was when you were a child, not when I was a child! There is no shortage of water in Shenzhen! Besides, can't he talk well, he has to rush straight into the bathroom while I'm in the shower! Completely disregard for personal privacy! ”

"Hahahaha......" Gui Ying laughed at Zhiyuan for a long time, "Privacy! Your grandpa knows a fart privacy! You're a boy for what you're afraid of! When we were the poorest, there were only two kangs at home, and our three brothers and sisters squeezed one kang with my grandmother. It's not your grandfather's problem, everyone in that era thought it that way! It's not your grandfather that you can't get used to, but your grandfather's era and culture! I'm not going to ask your grandfather to apologize to you for rushing into the bathroom, I just expect you to be tolerant of him and the bad habits and culture of his time! He came to our house, not only by himself, but also with the environment, habits, concepts and customs in which he grew up - you are young, you have to tolerate him! Don't expect a seventy-year-old man to change to tolerate you! No way! That's too cruel for an old man! ”

Gui Ying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, choked up and continued: "The Golden Buddha that your grandfather gave you is worth 20,000 yuan, do you know where the 20,000 yuan came from?" If the things you like or want to buy are useless, try to save them and don't buy them, the water and electricity at home can save a dime, you can save a piece of food and clothing, and the fruit in the field can be sold for ten more yuan, and you can sell ten more yuan for ten more dollars! This golden Buddha statue was put together like this, where did he get the money as a peasant? If he didn't love the two of you, wouldn't he be willing to spend so much money to fight the two Golden Buddhas? ”

"Then you can compensate him? Don't let him suffer! Tsai pouted.

"Tsk, you don't understand! The money I compensated him for may have been my salary for dozens of days, but he had to work hard for this golden Buddha for many, many years! My ten dollars and his ten dollars are not equal! You may not understand, for example, in the future, when you graduate from a bachelor's degree, find a job of 4,000 yuan, and cut off 3,000 yuan a month for food, clothing, and housing, and save 10,000 yuan that year, if you want to buy this golden Buddha, you have to save money for two years! If the old man wants to buy this golden Buddha, he has to save for seven or eight years! Ten thousand yuan for the rich and ten thousand yuan for the poor are not the same concept, you know? ”

"Then don't give it to me! I can't afford it! Tsai handed over the box in his hand, intending to return it to Gui Ying.

Gui Ying stared at Zai Zai and said solemnly: "Zai'er, this is why Mom gave you the Golden Buddha today!" You live under the protection of your parents, you have never suffered, you don't know what it tastes like, you think everyone lives like you - absolutely not! Definitely not! When you enter the society in the future, there will definitely be many uneven people who will become your competitors or friends, among which people from humble backgrounds are very motivated, and they will work hard for a month's salary or even a meal, maybe you don't agree or look down on them, but these people will become your colleagues, friends and even professional opponents! What do I mean by giving you this Buddha? It is to make you understand that people are different, the world is not centered on you, and it is not the flatness you think! You wear this Buddha, wear it now! Gui Ying opened the box with tears, took out the golden Buddha, and put it around her neck for her son.

After wearing the Golden Buddha, Gui Ying cried and held her son's wrist and said: "The same Golden Buddha, you don't spend money someone to send it to you, but others have to work hard in the field for seven or eight years to have such a Golden Buddha!" You waste water, but a lot of people in many fringe areas of China can't drink it; Your dad said that you use paper and waste it, and we can afford scratch paper, but some people can't afford it! In the future, you will always remember that there will be many people around you, who are as young as you, but they are just as desperate as your grandfather. Mom is from a small place, and you can have today, because your dad and I worked hard to get it. You can save some water and save some things in the future, you don't know how hard it is to support your family, I don't know how hard it is for you two to fight outside! ”

"I know! You don't have to cry so badly! What's wrong with you lately, you can't stop crying! Even since my grandfather came, Mom, have you gone through early menopause? Tsai Tsai pulled out Gui Ying's hand and took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe her tears.

"Don't talk nonsense, your mother is young! Your mother's upbringing is a world of difference from your upbringing, and after your grandfather came, she was emotionally unstable when she remembered the past - she was crying before! Understand your grandfather more, so that you can understand your mother! Zhiyuan explained with a side face.

"It's complicated!"

"Isn't it just to let you have a sense of thrift and slowly develop the habit of thrift! What's complicated? You don't know how hard your mom is out there? Come back later than you every day! Let's save a little money at home, and we can save a lot of money over time, right! Zhiyuan angrily scolded his son.

"I see! But we don't lack this money! How much can I save by saving? Tsai spread out his hands and told the truth.

"Why don't you understand? Your grandfather's Golden Buddha didn't just save it bit by bit! You save a dollar for a bath, three hundred a year, ten years? What about fifty years? You save a province for bathing, a province for dressing and eating, and you calculate how many tens of thousands you have to save in this life! What's more, if you yourself have a sense of frugality, you will be able to restrain your children and grandchildren to be equally frugal in the future! Your father has never suffered anything since he was a child, and has never been very frugal, and it is not for so many years that you have developed this habit of profligacy! ”

"Your mom is right! Dad has to change it too - thank you grandpa for teaching him a lesson! Saving and not lacking money are two different things! You should only be frugal in order to save money for us two of us when we are old! "Zhiyuan reflects on himself.

Gui Ying put away her tears and continued: "After arguing with your grandfather last night, my mother was angry and regretful, and she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night!" Hey, Mom is not at peace with him. ...... to be held later Later, you and your grandfather will be soft, and you will apologize to your grandfather for your mother, okay? Gui Ying took her son's hand and prayed with tears in her eyes.

"What logic! You're so complicated! Tsai Tsai pulled out his hand and was very puzzled, but his mother looked at him with teary eyes, and instantly softened: "Forget it, for your sake crying and begging me, don't worry, I will be the middleman between your father and daughter - you believe me!" Tsai patted his left chest.

"I also talked to your grandfather last night, your grandfather is a wise man, he will change slowly. Let's adjust each other, for the harmony of this family, okay? Zhiyuan looked back at Zaizai, and Zaizai nodded.

"My dear, and you! Uncle Zhong is right, you are very similar to our father's temper! Dute is excited! You have to control your emotions! ”

"I see! You said I last night! Gui Ying waved her hand and wiped away her tears.

The family of three bridged the gap and rushed home happily.

Smoke the child to the point of offending people! He hadn't washed his feet for a month, there were no wounds or rots in them, and his old horse used a fan every day to ventilate his feet! Do your feet really stink that much?

The old horse secretly thinks of ideas! Xiaotang mentioned perfume yesterday, and Lao Ma didn't know if Gui Ying had perfume, so he called Xiaotang. The two of them went to the dressing table in Gui Ying's house to find a bottle of perfume together, and then went back to the house.

The old horse doesn't know how to use perfume, and he sprays it on the bed for a long time, but he sees no traces of water - how is the old horse's degree different from the flower water? He didn't know if it had been sprayed or not. So I unscrewed the lid of the perfume and sprinkled it directly on the bed, shoes, plaster, trouser legs, and the ground. Two minutes later, half of the bottle was gone.

"It smells good, it smells good! This smells pretty rushing! The old man muttered to himself, covered his nose, twisted the lid, closed the door and came out. I thought it was similar to spraying pesticides, and the smell of covering the room would naturally disappear, so that when the boy came back, it would be tasteless - and fragrant. After putting the perfume away, Lao Ma shook his fan and continued to watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the living room.
