Chapter 54: Empathy and Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!) )
"There is also our daily food, the spring clothes are cut, but fortunately, there are some cotton cloth and cotton in the Spring Festival couplets sold this time, otherwise our family will have to buy cloth and cotton, and when these rice noodles are eaten, we will definitely have to buy food! I can only rely on you to make a living, I embroider slowly, although the embroidery is good, but you can get a few pieces a month, you can copy three books a month, in this way, where is our money enough? Su Sanmei calculated it carefully for Mo Dahe.
"But if people know that our family is rich, people won't count our family as holes that need to be filled, people will think that our family is rich and want to borrow money from us, husband, we are still short of money, do you want to borrow or not?" Su Sanmei said: "It's not that I'm ruthless, it's really the kind that I want to starve to death, otherwise I don't think I should borrow it, we were all going to starve to death at the beginning, and no one borrowed anything from us, we have survived such difficult days, is there anything more difficult than our previous days?" Then if you don't borrow it, it will hurt you, so I think Xiaofei's approach is also very good, not letting people know how much money our family has, and saving these troubles! ”
Mo Dahe said after a while: "I didn't say that I wanted to lend it to others!" ”
Su Sanmei sighed: "Husband, I've been thinking about thieves a lot these days, how can you say that our good life can be like this?" Even if we don't know how to work, according to normal circumstances, our family will not live so much that the children will starve to death. So I kept thinking, why the hell? In fact, when others come to borrow, we also know that we are in difficulty, and we don't want to borrow, but we are always thin-skinned! I always feel that others are difficult, but when I think about it these days, no matter how difficult other people's families are, is it difficult for our family? Even if there is, it is not caused by our family, and our family is also in difficulty! Xiao Fei told me to compare my heart with my heart, husband, I think this is very good, if they can really think about others like us, they will not know that our family is in trouble and embarrass us. Not to mention anything else, husband, when our family was about to starve to death, we didn't think about who to borrow some money, if we really wanted to borrow, did we also have to think about whether the other party's family was really difficult, if it was difficult, we wouldn't open this mouth, we also wanted not to cause trouble to others; But why can't others think like that? ”
"Husband, I really don't want to live that kind of life with a meal and no meal, it doesn't matter if I suffer myself, but because of my thin face, the children are tired and almost starve to death, husband, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel!" Su Sanmei said.
Mo Dahe was also uncomfortable when he heard it: "Third sister, I'm useless!" ”
This was interrupted by Su Sanmei: "Husband, in fact, I think it's boring for you to say this again, if you want to say that it is useful, both of us are useless, our husband and wife are both thin-faced, and they are not as good as having a child, but if you want to say that it is useless, we will not do it, don't you think you earned a hundred taels of silver before the Chinese New Year?" Our farmer family can earn twenty taels of silver all year round, and we have to steal fun. So I think the problem is that we are thin-faced! ”
"It's true to be good to people, but we don't have the ability to be good to everyone, since we don't have this ability, why do we do such a thing?" Su Sanmei said: "I don't mean to treat everyone, but I think we can be good to people who are good to us." Like your friend Mr. Zhan, he has helped us a lot, we are grateful to him, if he is in trouble, as long as we can help, we don't need him to speak, we will help. Husband, are you right? ”
"That's right! But ...... "Mo Da Dao."
"Don't be a husband, think about it yourself, I don't know any big truths, I know that I don't have the ability to take care of everyone, I can only take care of my own family!" Su Sanmei said.
"Well, third sister, I'll think about it!" Mo Da Dao.
Su Sanmei's change is obvious, at least she is no longer like before, she believes and understands everything she says, she has learned to think in her shoes, and she has learned not to be thin-skinned with others without a bottom line.
It stands to reason that the three families should have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it should be even more so in the first year of separation, but now it is not Mo Dashu who is in charge, Mo Dashu thinks, but Mo Zonghai does not agree: "Dad, each family eats its own family, it is easy, this family is separated, you detain them again, everyone is awkward, isn't it?" ”
Mo Dashu knew what Mo Zonghai meant, but Liu Shi agreed very much: "Old man, I think what Zonghai said makes sense, let's kindly call them here, wouldn't it be bad if everyone didn't appreciate it?" In this case, it is better for each family to eat its own, anyway, it has already been separated! ”
Mo Dashu was speechless, he was a little disappointed in Mo Zonghai in his heart, since he went to the second room of the Mo family once, he obviously watched his nephew thin into skinny bones, but he didn't say anything at all, this time he wanted to ask everyone to have a meal together, and he did have the intention of letting the second and third rooms eat some good food, but it is not too much to have this thought, right?
At the end of the year, it's just one time, not to mention that this is just the first year after the family, and everyone has a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together at the end of the year, which is a reasonable thing!
Mo Dahe took two puffs of cigarette, and then said: "But Zong Hai, when the family was separated, he said that everyone would have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together during the New Year!" ”
"Dad, I know I said that at the beginning, but isn't the situation special now? After the family is separated, everyone likes to be free, and then call them over, and when the time comes, they will not appreciate it and complain that I am too big a big brother! When the time comes, everyone is reluctant, and it will be difficult for me to be a big brother! I don't believe my dad to take a look, they must have prepared their favorite food, Dad, this matter is about your love and my willingness, it's not good to force them! Mo Zonghai smiled.
Mo Dashu didn't speak, and concentrated on smoking the cigarette in his hand.
"Okay, Zonghai, go and get busy with you, that's what your father said! You're right, we don't have to spend money and complain! Liu spoke.
Mo Zonghai sighed, didn't take it seriously, and went out.
"Old man, why are you pumping in the house again? You want to smoke me to death, don't you? Liu waved his hand twice.
"Old woman, why do you say Zong Hai doesn't agree?" Mo Dashu said, he knows very well, what is the special situation, how special? Is the separation special? Whose family eats weird together? Not to mention that this is the first year!
"Alas, old man, you said that you are too, so obviously eccentric to the second and third rooms, it's no wonder that the boss will be unhappy!" Liu Shi didn't care: "What Zong Hai said is right, they have all been separated." ”
