Chapter 61: Ulterior motives

"Get you back at me! Watch me wrap you with meat dumplings to eat! Watch me wrap you with meat dumplings to eat! Sun Guodong couldn't bear it anymore, and when he raised his knife in his hand, a boxy piece of frozen meat was quickly chopped into meat foam by him. He chopped the meat and was angry with himself. He vented all the unhappiness in his heart on this piece of meat. He was so disappointed in such an older brother.

After chopping the meat, he stood in the kitchen in frustration with a machete in his hand, trembling with anger in the face of the scarred board. In the eyes of others, this may be a trivial matter and not worth mentioning, but it happened to my brother, isn't it a bit too much. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what the two brothers were doing with their grievances in the distant future, and they had no enmity in the near future, so what was the reason for the elder brother torturing himself like this?

Sun Guodong, who has always been loyal and honest, saw that they were unreasonable at home and doing things that were out of line, he was really speechless. He is usually very filial, he has never lost his temper in front of his parents, his taciturn and calm in the hutong is also obvious to all, he never provokes right and wrong in the village, and he is even more responsive to his neighbors. Even if the children are ignorant and cause trouble outside, he rarely gets angry and scolds the children. Compare your heart to your heart, my brother can't treat himself like this!

If it weren't for today's incident, it was too heartwarming, and he wouldn't have lost his temper as ordinary people couldn't bear it. Sun Guodong never thought that he would entertain his brother's family so wholeheartedly, and he would make it difficult for him to do this, it is really unreasonable, he is his own brother! Even if you don't like this home, you don't need to torture people in this way! Since he looks down on people like this, he simply doesn't have any contact, just break it, a cold-blooded brother like this, it's okay if he doesn't have it.

"Dad, go back to the house and rest, you don't have to do these jobs, I'll come!" Sun Xiaohong heard the sound of chopping meat in the kitchen, she hurriedly ran out to look, and she saw two lines of tears overflowing from her father's purple cheeks.

She walked over gently, took the machete in his hand, wiped it clean with a rag, put it on top of the knife holder, and then picked up all the minced meat on the board, put it in a white porcelain basin, and placed the porcelain basin on top of the hot stove.

Sun Guodong turned around and went out, his back was slightly old, in this Chinese New Year's Eve, he quietly came to the stable alone, added some forage to the big white horse, quietly watched it eat the grass in the trough one bite at a time, then covered his face, squatted in it for a long time, until someone called him, he slowly walked out.

After my mother finished wrapping the vegetarian dumplings, after all the ice ballast in the porcelain basin melted away, she specially mixed a pot of meat filling, wrapped some dumplings, and placed them on the panel, so she took a breath. In the past few days, there have been many customers at home, and she has been so busy that she doesn't even give her a rest. If Xiaohong hadn't given her a hand every day, I'm afraid her waist would have been broken.

When cooking Chinese New Year's Eve dumplings, my mother first cooked the vegetarian dumplings, and after the steaming vegetarian dumplings were served, they were first put in front of my grandfather's eyes, and then my mother went to cook meat dumplings for my uncle's family. After a few days of hard work, she really couldn't hold on, and before everyone finished eating the dumplings, she fell asleep in Xiaohong's hut.

At the dining table, when the uncle was eating dumplings, he deliberately put a meat-filled dumpling into his grandfather's bowl, and when his grandmother saw that he was so disobedient, she snatched his grandfather's rice bowl and replaced him with a new one. A happy Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the whole family, everyone ate very unhappily. Sun Xiaohong watched her uncle scurrying around in front of the whole family like a clown, telling right and wrong, the degree of his selfishness was really jaw-dropping, she had to admire the eldest uncle for actually embodying the indifference and vitriol of the little citizens, all of which were reflected in him alone, and she was very annoyed in her heart.

This kind of person, Jin Yu is ruined on the outside, and it is only a superficial scenery, and he really doesn't underestimate him, in terms of character, he is not even as good as a three-year-old child in the alley, let him honor his parents, support the elderly, and not wait for his parents to reach their birthdays, he has to bury his father and mother alive.

After eating the meat-filled dumplings, he should have restrained himself. The old and the young of the family have been tossing and turning for most of the night, and it is time to rest, but the uncle is still changing his tricks and torturing everyone again. Sun Xiaohong couldn't stand it, so she ran to wake up her mother.

"Mom, wake up quickly, my uncle is doing things in the house again!" Xiaohong's mother just squinted for a while, and was woken up by Xiaohong. She hurriedly went into the house to look, only to see the eldest uncle holding a few coins in his hand, and suddenly called the five Xiaohong sisters and brothers to him and said: "Uncle didn't bring you any gifts when he came back this time, these commemorative coins in my hand are all limited editions, very collectible, and there are not many national circulation." I specially asked someone to exchange a few from the bank, and I will give each of you one as a souvenir, so hurry up and put it away! With that, the uncle sent the coins to their siblings.

"Giving commemorative coins to the kids? What does he mean? These things, the bank has them every year, ten yuan a piece, and he uses this thing to fool the children at home! What a fool to think of our family! Sun Guodong was so angry that he trembled, he really wanted to snatch these things, and threw them out of the window, but there were still old people at home, they had a good face all their lives, if they saw their children turn against each other, how sad it would be!

"Isn't it fifty dollars? Let's give it to him, no matter how poor my Sun Guodong is, he can afford it! Take fifty to mix him with cold, let's give him a whole one, he is not bad for money, and we are not bad! After this year, they will leave, and in the future, we will return to the bridge with him, and return to the road, so that Han Gaozu will cut the white snake in two. ”

Maybe it was out of a moment's breath, Sun Guodong pulled Xiaohong's mother aside and said angrily. He now understands that the eldest brother is not going home for the New Year, he is here to demonstrate with his parents and find fault with his younger brother, the reason is that he is successful and rich, and in addition, he has nothing to be proud of.

People are poor and short-minded, and horses are thin and long, with droopy manes. Sun Guodong was speechless, he also admitted it, he silently left the house, and walked around the yard many times before his mood slowly calmed down. After returning to the house, he squeezed a place on the kang tip of the North Kang, and as soon as his head was on the pillow, he fell asleep.

The mother hurriedly took out a 100-yuan red ticket from her pocket, and said to her uncle's youngest daughter with a smile: "Lili, the first time you came to the countryside for the New Year, your aunt didn't prepare anything for you, this 100 yuan will give you the New Year's Eve, when you go home, you can buy something for yourself!" The uncle's daughter took the money without humility and put it in her pocket as if no one was around.

In Sun Xiaohong's opinion, none of my uncle's family are fuel-efficient lamps, and everyone in their family has high eyes, except for knowing money, no one has it.

The sister-in-law holding the child was sweating profusely in the house. She didn't marry well, her uncle didn't have a mother since she was a child, and she stayed under the threshold of her sister-in-law all the year round, and when they got married, they didn't even have firewood, and even borrowed a place to live, so she could get the New Year's money, which was not embarrassing for her mother. When Sun Guodong saw it, he dragged his sister-in-law aside and told her not to speak, but he wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in his eldest brother's gourd.

Grandpa sat on the kang and saw everything just now. He opened his cabinet, took out four pieces of the ocean from it, put them on the kang in turn, and said: "You brothers are here, I have raised four children in my life, and I have not saved gold and silver treasures, and if I can live to this day, I will save such a little valuable thing, today, in front of everyone, I will give it to you impartially, it is useless for me to keep it, two pieces for a family, take them!" When the uncle heard this, he quickly grabbed two pieces of Xian Dayang, put them in his hand and shook them a few times, handed them back to his daughter, and said with bad intentions: "I'll just say, our dad just has the goods, you see he took out all the things at the bottom of the box, and there must be treasures in his box!" I said, Dad, shouldn't you all show it so that we can all see it? ”

His words reminded Sun Guodong that his brother came back this time and tossed around at home, just to share the old man's property. Isn't this a big joke, if Mom and Dad really had a family property, they wouldn't live so poorly. At this moment, Sun Guodong suddenly realized, he slapped his head hard, and smiled bitterly, he had to admire his brother's ulterior motives. This time he has a long experience, thinking about his filial piety for so many years, in front of his brother, he turned out to be worthless, he sighed, turned around and walked out. When my sister saw that no one took the two pieces on the kang, she put them away.

Sun Xiaohong never understood the intention of her uncle to go home for the New Year, and on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, their family was picked up by a special car. People are all animals who love relatives, and although the brothers are not harmonious, and the whole family has a lot of prejudice and dissatisfaction with him, but when he left, he still sent him out of the alley. In the following years, Sun Guodong never contacted him.

They walked neatly, but the mother, who had a sore back and legs, was like a machine, and she waited for a few days, and she never heard a word of thanks from their family.

Mom turned around and sat on the kang, opened the bills of the past few days, and touched Rijian's shriveled wallet, she was dumbfounded. She made a detailed count, and when her uncle went home for the New Year this time, he not only ate a year's money for seeds and fertilizers, but also ate their family's annual expenses for firewood, rice, oil and salt. Even the fourth brother's hard-earned money on the construction site was folded into half.

Looking at these shocking figures, even Sun Guodong was startled. He looked at the bill, which had no temperature and couldn't be calculated, and was immediately disheartened, he shook his head, and his mouth let out a series of helpless "hi" sounds.
