2. Three years old
Qi Ziqiang's third birthday, also the New Year, Qi Ziqiang was dressed up by Mr. Wang, like a New Year's doll, Qi Laosi has successfully lifted himself out of poverty in the past two years with the continuous help of his eldest sister, although he has not become rich, but at least he no longer gnaws at the old, and also helped his parents to tear down the old house and rebuild it.
The three-year-old little doll doesn't cry no matter how she teases, it's just very fierce, as long as it is not as good as she wants, she wrinkles her thick black eyebrows and begins to croak, six big brothers, two little brothers, a total of eight brothers like something, Qi Ziqiang will be kissed by his brothers.
Qi Baichuan, as the eldest grandson of the old Qi family, is 16 years old, the children of poor families are very precocious, sensible and distressing, and the delicious food that can only be eaten during the New Year is given to his younger brothers and sisters.
The 16-year-old boy was wearing his father's slightly fat clothes, and took a candy cube to Qi Ziqiang's mouth, Qi Ziqiang opened his mouth to bite, but after biting twice, he didn't bite, and reached out to grab Qi Baichuan's hand, and put the sugar and fingers in his mouth together.
"Qiangzi, tell your mouth quickly, my brother didn't wash his hands, bury it, hurry up."
After saying that, he laughed. Finally rescued Qi Baichuan and was slapped by his own mother, Aunt Qi stretched out her hand and slapped Qi Baichuan's back, disgusted, "Go and help your dad work, don't bully your old sister." β
"I'm still bullying her, look at what she bit me, this little hand is really fast, heheheγγγγγγ"
"Sister-in-law, let Dachuan take a break, I haven't stopped this morning, come, Dachuan comes over to eat some melon seeds and rest." Teacher Wang said with a little distress.
"When the young man is capable, he doesn't do it." Sister-in-law Qi said disappreciatively.
If you want to say that the men of the old Qi family can cook, Daddy Qi bears the brunt, but usually they really don't do anything, but they are really busy with their work during the New Year, in the words of Daddy Qi, I am afraid that these old ladies of the ruined family will spoil good things, and the women of the Qi family are really liberated after the New Year.
Teacher Wang sat on the kang and Qi Ziqiang took a book to teach Qi Ziqiang to speak, not to let her know how to read, only three years old, and couldn't recognize a few, Qi Ziqiang still didn't speak well, his tongue was very big, and his mother always said that it was Na Na, Teacher Wang, as a good mother, looked at the neighbor Deng family's two-year-old Deng Yingying children who spoke neatly, that was envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Sister-in-law, you said that there would be nothing wrong with Qiangzi, this is three years old, and she has a big tongue, and it is not good after the New Year, I want to take her to the hospital to see, I am worried."
"Don't toss around, children talk early and late, our strong son is blessed at a glance, this brain is full of heaven, look at this eye, how bright the hall, this nose and mountain roots, this look doesn't need to be a fortune teller, I will see it, our children are late when they speak."
After Aunt Qi finished speaking, she didn't forget to kiss Qi Ziqiang's head.
"This look is not picky, and it won't be ugly when it grows up, but don't grow this mouth anymore, look at the big mouth, and then look at the feet, it won't be big feet when you grow up." Teacher Wang looked at Sister-in-law Qi with expectant eyes, hoping that she could comfort her.
Sister-in-law Qi looked at Qi Ziqiang's big mouth and then looked at the big foot girl really can't boast of it, she smiled and said with a dry cigarette in her mouth, "This mother's day by day is worrying, this big eye, big face, with a small mouth, it doesn't look like it, the strong son is good-looking, this appearance is also one of the best in the village, and it looks like a blessing, and then the big foot shows that he can grow up, who is not rare for this strong son to take out, this big eyes are coaxing, hey, let the aunt kiss again." β
As he spoke, he didn't forget to take another bite on Qi Ziqiang's face.
Qi Ziqiang greeted everyone with a smile and giggled at everyone, and dragged Qi's sister-in-law out of Teacher Wang's arms and held her in his arms.
"Tu He is in the afternoon, heheγγγγγγ"
When Mr. Wang heard this, he also laughed and asked, "What about the next sentence?" β
"Sweat drops marry the soil, heheheγγγγγγ"
"What else?" Mr. Wang is very happy, I didn't say it before, but today I am in a good mood.
"Whoever eats Pan Dongtan is greasy daddy." Qi Ziqiang may have felt that her mother was a little annoying, so she said it together.
"Oh, it's amazing, Qiangzi can grow up to be admitted to college, this will be said, haha... Aunt Qi boasted. Teacher Wang was also so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and the child really wanted to show off.
While they were talking, the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law Qi also entered the house. "What are you doing, it's so lively." Qi San's sister-in-law made a loud voice first.
"Qiangzi will recite ancient poems for us, and then give Erniang and Sanniang again." Sister-in-law Qi threw away the cigarette butt in her hand and held Qi Ziqiang with both hands.
"Swallow your feet, Meng sue men, swallow your feet without realizing your feet, rabbits and rabbits smell enemy birds, Nie Laifeng female voices, how many Huanuo chickens."
"Hahaha... Sister-in-law Qi...
"Hahaha... Qi's second sister-in-law...
"Hahaha... Qi San's sister-in-law...
"I don't think I know what to do, haha... Teacher Wang...
In the next half hour, Qi Ziqiang completely sprouted the four middle-aged women with her big tongue and small milk voice, and then Qi Ziqiang was really annoyed, and he didn't say a word, and it took a while for the ferocious Ah Ah to make the four unfinished women stop squeezing her language talent.
"Our strong son is too rare, why are you so smart!" Qi's second sister-in-law kissed Qi Ziqiang's head twice, and couldn't help but gently pinch her little face.
"My family's Yueyue can't memorize these, our strong son won't be a little genius." After speaking, the third sister-in-law of Qi, who was not kissed, dragged Qi Ziqianglou into her arms from the arms of sister-in-law Qi, and kissed her on the door of the head.
Qi Ziqiang especially likes others to kiss her, and anyone who kisses her can giggle non-stop. Occasionally, you can kiss back a few times.
"I didn't know she could recite so many poems, tell my mother, how much is this?" Teacher Wang was very excited and stretched out five fingers to his daughter.
"Five"
"What about this," Qi San's sister-in-law compared to three
"Mountain"
"And what about the two of them?" Second sister-in-law Qi asked.
"Eight"
"Oh, that's amazing... Sister-in-law Qi exclaimed.
Qi Ziqiang, who showed signs of genius, was annoyed by the four middle-aged women, struggling to get off the ground, and the four of them looked at Qi Ziqiang and looked at Qi Ziqiang, and she didn't bother her anymore, so she put on a hat and put on shoes for her to play by herself.
Qi Ziqiang ran out to find his eldest brother Qi Baichuan, Qi Baichuan was busy today, his feet didn't touch the ground, he didn't have time to coax Qi Ziqiang, looked at his greasy hands, took his arm and clamped Qi Ziqiang and sent it outside.
"Xiaofeng, coax my little sister to play for a while, don't let the cannon collapse." After that, he continued to go back to the house to help with the work.
Qi Baifeng ran over and hugged Qi Ziqiang, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was not annoying to the little Qi Ziqiang, picked up the villain in his arms and followed Qi Qun's little brother and began to set off firecrackers.
The firecrackers bought back at home during the Chinese New Year will disassemble the strings of firecrackers and put them one by one, so that they can be put away for a long time, otherwise the firecrackers will be finished after a while, and the children will have nothing to play.
Qi Baijun held an incense stick in his hand, followed by a string of children behind Qi Baifeng, one by one ran past Qi Baijun's side, holding the small firecracker in his hand, and quickly lit it out with Qi Baijun's incense, and the sound of firecrackers sounded one after another in the yard. Qi Ziqiang screamed excitedly on Qi Baifeng's back, Qi Baifeng couldn't light the cannon battle from time to time, After three or two times, he was unhappy, crying and dragging Qi Baifeng for a hug.
Qi Ziqiang saw that it was so fun to set off firecrackers, and it was not bad on Qi Baifeng's back, so he jumped down from Qi Baifeng's back, snatched the firecrackers in Qi Baifeng's pocket, and hurriedly ran to Qi Baijun with small firecrackers, lit them one and threw them one by one, and the sound of ping-pong firecrackers made this year more and more lively.
Qi Baichuan in the house came out, asked for a few firecrackers from Qi Baijun's hand, and set them off a few times, the young man's face was filled with this happy smile, and then said, "Come into the house to eat!" β
A group of children dispersed and squeezed towards the door, the short-legged Qi Ziqiang actually ran fast, the first one ran in, turned around and smiled Qi Baiyi, Qi Baichuan picked up Qi Baiwei and entered the house.
"Hurry up and close the door, this bit of heat is released." Boss Qi yelled at the children, but no one paid attention, the last one to enter the house was Qi Baiyuan, the children saw that everyone else went into the inner room, regardless of the other doors were not closed, so they hurriedly ran to the inner room.
"A bunch of tail-clipping dogs!" Qi Lao Er scolded with a smile.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!" Qi Baiyue climbed up the kang with his teeth and claws, and did not forget to make noise.
The older children helped set the table, and the remaining few small ones climbed up the kang, and several children crowded into a pile, you pushed me, I pushed you, and played on the kang.
The four women on the kang hurriedly took off their coats for a few children, and it was time to sweat for a while.
"Don't squeeze the little girl, have fun." Second sister-in-law Qi pulled Qi Baizhang and said.
After a while, the meal was set, the four daughters-in-law with a group of children on the kang, and the men were sitting on the table on the ground. The banquet was opened, Daddy Qi thought that this year's situation was good, and his new house was built, and there should be a summary meeting, so he picked up the full wine glass, and said with a smile, "This year, the harvest in our field is good, the new house has also been built, and the days are getting more and more prosperous. β
The fourth brother of Qi has a house, but they are all thatched houses, cold in winter and hot in summer, and the family is tightly crowded, so the population of the fourth family of Qi Lao is small, and it feels looser. This year, Qi Laosi has a little spare money to keep up with his parents, and helped his parents build a new house, the four brothers are still very poor, and building a house is not something that can be built with an open mouth, but it will take a few years.
"Let's all work hard in the coming year, listen to my father's words, and hurry up the house." Boss Qi hurriedly responded to his father, the New Year's Eve is to be happy, it depends on the situation.
Qi Lao Er and Qi Lao San also chimed in.
"Dad is right, now the days are getting better day by day, our brother still has a few strengths, and it is fast to build a house, hehe, Dad, let's have a drink!" Qi Laosi didn't have a proper line, and he fought with his father for wine.
"You're all a father, it's still like this, but the fourth child has performed well this year, which is worthy of praise, can't be proud, and will continue in the coming year! Go one. After speaking, he took a sip of the liquor in the cup.
"Baichuan come here, it's 16 years old, adults, don't play with those-eating kids." Qi Laosi beckoned Qi Baichuan to come to this table.
"Baichuan come here, my eldest grandson is so old, haha, take the high school exam next year, study hard, our old Qi family will also be a college student!" After speaking, he pulled his eldest grandson to sit beside him, and also gave him some liquor.
Boss Qi watched his father talk about his eldest son's schooling, lowered his head and drank, and a bitterness flashed on his face. Qi Laosi has been beside his eldest aunt and brother-in-law in the past few years, and his brother-in-law's life has slowly improved, and their remaining brothers are still not having a good time, there are still many children, and the son who is getting older day by day still has to marry a daughter-in-law, and his house has not yet been completed, and he has to prepare a house to marry a daughter-in-law, and he really doesn't dare to think about going to college.
"That's a must, my eldest nephew will be a college student in the future, and it's good for me to go out and brag, haha." Qi Laosi looked at his eldest nephew who was more stable than himself, and a sense of pride arose.
Qi Lao Er and Qi Lao San are not entangled in this issue, their children are not good at studying, they are still young, they don't spend much money to go to primary and secondary schools, and there are people to watch the children, so there is no pressure at all.
Father Qi looked at his eldest son and was silent and silent, sighed in his heart, and said, "The old family has grown up in the past few years, and life is difficult, but you have to look far away, you look at the two children of your fourth uncle's family, college students or something, needless to say, as a doctor in the hospital, surgery, in the past few years, it will be better slowly, your mother and I can still do it in the past few years, you have been filial piety a lot in recent years, your mother and I have saved it for you, Baichuan is the boss of their generation, I have to set an example for my younger siblings, our children can be admitted to college, and I will be admitted to college. Only by studying hard can you become a talent! Our old couple can live for a few years, this house is your brother sooner or later, our courtyard I was looking at the big place, I bought it, next to the old Lin family, the old Wang's house I bought it with your mother the year before last, I and your mother have thought about it, if you have money, build a house in the yard, save land money, when the time comes, your broken house is sold, add a few dollars to start a small house, what are you worried about, slowly can always get better. If Baichuan wasn't like that, I wouldn't have said this, how many people want to supply this seedling! β
"Dad, that's your and my mother's pension money, you can't spend it on me." Boss Qi hurriedly said, the four brothers will give their parents money every year, and they don't give much, their parents can also earn, their father has a small carriage, and there is a donkey at home, and his father has nothing to do with the carriage to earn a lot, and there are entries in the spring and autumn harvests, and he can still run to the city when he is not busy in the field, and he earns a lot a year, and his daughter-in-law has also complained, and his parents can earn money from them, and in the past few years, he has a grievance in his daughter-in-law's heart, and Boss Qi is not comfortable in his heart, and now he feels that he is not a human being when he hears his father say this.
"Children are debts, after giving birth to a few of you ghosts, I and your mother are tired and tired, why are we sleeping in the old cat's room, and we will pass it on from generation to generation. Now that you're parents, you have to be like that. You didn't catch up with the good time back then, but when you get to the fourth child, the environment is good, let him study, that guy, howling like killing a pig, is still a teacher, and he doesn't know a few words of Douda. After speaking, he looked at Qi Laosi with disdain.
Father Qi continued to sigh, "When it comes to my grandchildren, I want my grandson to go to school!" With that, he took a sip of the wine in his glass.
"That's a must, Dad, fill it up for you!" Qi Lao Si dogged his father full of wine.
This topic passed, and Boss Qi didn't answer his father's words and drank the wine in the glass.
"Baichuan poured it for your father." Qi Lao Er was next to Qi Baichuan and reminded Qi Baichuan to pour wine for his father.
Qi Lao Er Qi and Qi Lao San also know in their hearts why their father hasn't built a house in the past few years, and their four daughters-in-law are all with a house, when the eldest married his daughter-in-law, Qi Lao Dad has successively prepared the houses of the remaining sons, the thatched house is not valuable, and the place also has to spend money, How much money can be saved every year, Mom and Dad basically have no money. Married a daughter-in-law over the years my parents have saved a lot, usually to help the fourth brother and their brother didn't say anything and was not upset, but the big man didn't care, this year the fourth child helped his father and mother build a house, plugged their daughter-in-law's mouth, and now I feel a little ashamed to hear my father and mother say this. If it weren't for Baichuan's school this year, I don't know what my parents were thinking.
The women comrades on the kang did not get involved in the topic of the old man, and the scheming in their hearts in the past slowly began to be relieved, and they all knew that it was not easy to be a father and mother, and they all lived for their children.
Qi Ziqiang on the kang heard his grandfather say that she would let her eldest brother take the university entrance examination, and he also shouted loudly to take the university entrance examination, which made everyone laugh, Qi Baiqiang was only two years older than Qi Ziqiang, and he didn't understand anything and followed the coaxing to take the university entrance examination. The reunion dinner reached a climax, and the future of the old Qi family was full of hope.
