Chapter 18: Missing
I'm going to see my mother in the back, I don't have to look at her, she will come here in a while, pointing to the stool and saying, I'm about to start eating, you give me to sit here honestly, I'm not allowed to run around, my sister-in-law has always been a little jealous of her father, so she can only stomp her feet fiercely and sit on the stool, looking very aggrieved.
The old man said to the little uncle who was still standing next to him, this son-in-law has a good temperament, I have always liked her very much, come and sit with me.
The eldest uncle and father also hurriedly served tea to the little uncle, took something to eat, and kept comforting her.
After seeing the performance of these people.
The anger in my sister-in-law's father's heart finally disappeared a little.
In the backyard, the boy was drawing water next to the well, and the girl was standing next to her and laughing, and the boy asked her very suspiciously, why do you always look at me and smile like this?
The girl said that of course I was happy, tell me if there is anything that makes you happy, but the girl said with a smile, but after I said this reason, you may not be able to be as happy, why is this?
The girl said, because my man will attract other women to like, my sister-in-law has been married for so long now, and she still misses you, why do you say you have such a great charm?
The girl was actually happy about this matter, and the young man suddenly became very speechless, and he really couldn't laugh, so he could only continue to bow his head there and fetch water, not wanting to talk about this topic, but the girl said to herself there.
But a woman is a person who pleases herself, but if after dressing up, the people in his heart don't even dare to look at him, how can he still be so interested.
His mind is so powerful, if it were used elsewhere, where would he have done something that he couldn't succeed in.
But the young man whispered there, if they really said something with a strong mind, they should be the little uncle, the girl was very surprised, and then she understood.
is also that his wife is very concerned about other men in front of everyone.
My sister-in-law must be very dark in her heart.
It's all someone else's business, let's not talk about it anymore, we should have dinner after the water is boiled.
The girl also said, then let's hurry over, maybe it's because of the old man's deterrence, maybe it's because of the boy's snub, and the girl has always stayed with the two of them.
There were so many delicious dishes on the table.
At the dinner table, the sister-in-law did not entangle the teenager anymore.
At last the dinner ended in a harmonious atmosphere, and after dinner, the little uncle and his father went home with the sister-in-law.
The boy and his cousin also walked out.
The old woman was also sent back to the house by the eldest uncle.
The rest of the people were still sitting in the room, drinking tea and talking.
The girl pushed the four aunts who wanted to go home into the kitchen, helped her mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and just sat there and listened to these people, the old man has always had a habit of calling all his children and grandchildren together after drinking.
He also taught them when he spoke.
Those who read must be diligent and diligent.
Men must be able to support their families and create good conditions for their families, while women must abide by their duties, teach each other at home, and get along with the people in the family.
In short, the old man just hopes that his children and grandchildren can do their part, and finally let this big family prosper.
And he used to say that the girl was already calloused to hear it, and when he yawned, the topic of the discussion suddenly turned to the fourth uncle.
Or about him making money, the girl hurriedly cheered up, the old man there smoked a few puffs of cigarettes, and asked the fourth uncle with great relief, In fact, among these children, you and your mother are the only ones who can't rest assured of me.
Your eldest brother will have a son to support him in the future.
Your second brother himself also has sons and daughters, and his father-in-law can also be a backer for him, so that he will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, and your third brother's family is not to mention, not to mention that he has two sons, and he also has a daughter who can be worth ten sons, your fifth brother is still young now, and he will definitely have a son in the future.
And the only one we can't rest assured of is you.
The old man shook his head there and said.
The fourth uncle sat there very angry, Dad look at what you said today, it's like I'm the worst among these sons, can you save me some face?
The old man glared and said, I didn't mean to say these things, but I was telling the truth.
When the family was divided, you divided the fields for each of you, and you sold all the two acres of good land for money, and the money has already been squandered by you, and you don't know how to cultivate the remaining two acres of not so good land, but let it grow weeds there, and now at this time, other people's grain is piled up in the house, but your field is full of weeds.
Thinking of the fields that had long been deserted, the old man was very distressed.
The fourth uncle also knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't dare to speak there, and the old man continued, You don't have a son and you don't have a field.
There is no backer you can rely on, if the two of you are still as lazy as before, how will you live in the future?
But fortunately, with the blessing of your ancestors, you can go back, and the last time you went out for a month, you actually made a lot of money.
Not only did I buy clothes and things for my home, but I also bought a lot of supplements for me and your mother.
You spent a lot of money, and now your mother and I can close our eyes even if we see you like this.
The fourth uncle raised his head and said with a smile, Dad, since you and your mother can rest assured, then I am very satisfied, don't say these unlucky words, my father also hurriedly said, the fourth brother He is very right, you two old people must take good care of your body, and live a long life, the old man nodded with great satisfaction.
said to the fourth uncle again, while there are only people from your own family here today, tell us what you did during the time outside?
Everyone looked at the fourth uncle, facing everyone's inquiring eyes, the fourth uncle's eyes showed a touch of panic, and then laughed, I didn't do anything, just met a few fellow countrymen, and then everyone partnered to do a little business, all of which are related to life, but they changed hands and pressed some price differences, although they made very little money, but the sales were very large, so they could also save a few money.
The fourth uncle is obviously perfunctory to everyone, how can everyone understand what he said, I just think that he may be afraid that these people will know that they will share his wealth, the smile on the old man's face came down, and said to the fourth uncle, you are still like this, it is not true at all, but the people sitting here are our own family, do you still need to hide and choke?
You look at the girl, and it is to organize the medicine collection team and transport team, and to let these women spin and weave cloth or something, not only do they get rich themselves, but they all make money with these people in the village, the girl will never be like you hiding and choking, you see who has to divide his money, but his business is now getting bigger and bigger.
The fourth uncle looked at the girl and said with a smile, how can I compare with him?
What he does is a big deal, I can't afford to do this small business, he still refuses to reveal his own things, everyone has understood, the old man has been very bright and upright all his life, and he never likes to hide it like this, so the smile on his face disappeared.
As if he was opening his mouth to count this son, the father hurriedly smiled and said in a circle, Dad, you should drink saliva first.
After the old man drank the water, he told the fourth brother and said, since you don't want to say it, we can't force you, but no matter what business you do, you must take the right path, and the fourth uncle laughed with him.
There he sits, but his body is tense.
The old man continued, saying that people were watching the sky, and there were gods when they looked up, and those black-hearted money couldn't be earned even if they starved to death.
Although I don't have any great skills in my life.
But when you are here, you have seen much more things than you, and things in this world are always rewarded for good and evil.
The girl has always understood these truths, and he has his own principles in doing business.
He also understood that the old man was out of kindness, so he listened very carefully there, and nodded his head from time to time, seeing him like this, the old man was very pleased, and then looked at the fourth uncle.
He sat there, his eyes kept looking around, and finally his face actually sweated, and his face was also very pale, all of which did not escape the girl's eyes, fourth uncle, what's wrong with you?
Is there something uncomfortable?
Everyone's eyes also fell on the fourth, the fourth raised his head and squeezed out a smile at everyone, I'm afraid I ate a little too much tonight, and I feel that the sweat of the stomach ache has come out.
After he finished speaking, he wiped a handful of sweat with his hands, and his father said with great concern, where is the toilet?
You go quickly, the fourth uncle just shook his head and said, I don't like to go to the toilet outside, let's go home quickly, he can stand up and go out, the fourth uncle is there, you are wrong.
The girl reminded her.
Fourth Uncle Yu said that I want to go and see if your fourth aunt has cleaned up?
If we're done cleaning up, we'll go back together.
It happened to be the lobby sister who walked in with her two younger sisters, so she said to the fourth uncle, Dad has not finished cleaning up yet, he asked me to tell you, let us go back first, hearing this, the fourth uncle was a little stunned, still kept looking at the back, and wanted to call out his daughter-in-law.
The old man said that there were many people eating tonight, so there were a lot of chopsticks in this bowl.
Let's go back together.
But the fourth uncle was still there and didn't leave.
