"Where am I not giving you peace of mind? Won't I go to the construction site with Sihuan to move bricks? I didn't do anything unseemly. As soon as I came back, you scolded me, you said that you stared at me all day long and picked on my thorns, are you tired? You are my mother, you are my own mother, I beg you to stop scolding, I'm afraid you can do it! I don't reason with you, in front of you, I am right and wrong, wrong is wrong, and I have no reason to talk about it. You can scold and shout, let the whole village know that I am afraid of your old man! Sun Xiaohong, whose face was full of bricks, stood at the door tremblingly, she just wanted to step into the house, and when she saw her mother say this about her, she said a sentence full of complaints, and then stopped at the door and didn't leave. She knew she shouldn't have said that, but the words were out and it didn't matter.

Recently, I don't know what's going on, Sun Xiaohong suddenly faintly felt that her mother always looked at her unpleasantly. Maybe I was bewitched by someone, or I listened to some gossip, but I felt that I was an eyesore anyway. Regardless of whether there is something at home, whether there are outsiders in front of her, as long as she sees herself, just like seeing an enemy, her mother will ruthlessly speak ill of her, either here or there, especially in front of outsiders to count her various wrongs, she doesn't even give a step, as if she is the debtor of her previous life, water and fire are incompatible, always make herself red-faced, and even shameless.

Sun Xiaohong didn't know what she was wrong with. She was obviously tired of a day's work, and as soon as she entered the door, her mother poured a basin of cold water, and she felt very aggrieved. Tears swirled in her eyes, but she stubbornly stopped them.

"Looks like you're stiff on your wings! I said two words to you, and you still dare to fight back? I worked so hard for you to study for so many years, you didn't learn anything in school, and after a few days at home, you even learned to talk back! It's really the three of the deer who don't eat dead children and the living. Mom pointed at her with her finger and was so angry that she couldn't speak. Mother's mouth is really powerful, she can actually mix a lot of irrelevant things together in a daze to button her hat, this is obviously moral kidnapping, it is said that it is Sun Xiaohong who has just walked out of school, that is, those village women who have been in the battlefield for a long time, seeing her expose and suppress her like this, it is estimated that few people can stand this criticism!

"Didn't you just look at me horizontally and vertically, I knew this, why didn't you give me away? Look how good Lily is, two mothers, this one doesn't work and that! I'm different, anyway, I was born and raised by you, if you think I'm in the way, kill me while I'm asleep, and promise not to let you pay for your life! Save me from you off all the time! Sun Xiaohong saw that her mother was getting angrier and angrier the more she talked, and she didn't care so much.

She glanced up in the mirror, saw her unkempt and embarrassed appearance, and hurriedly withdrew from the room. She took off her coat in the courtyard, shook the bricks on it, hung it on the clothes pole in the courtyard, and then drew a willow jar of cold water from the well, poured it into the basin, washed her hair and face, and then went to wash the brick-stained clothes.

The well water was very cold, and her swollen hands were pierced in it, and the pain in her heart was like a thorn, and it hurt all the way to the bottom of her heart.

Seeing that her mother was still angry, the grandmother persuaded her: "You can just say a few words, the child has been working for a day, and she didn't even drink saliva when she entered the door, so you scolded her, can she stand it?" Why do you say that she is also a child, she is already timid, no matter how much you care, you have to take care of her stupidly! If you want to say that our family Xiaohong is not worrying, you are wrong. Look at you, how many good sons and daughters burned you? ”

After grandma finished speaking, seeing that her mother didn't speak, she slowly walked into the yard, looked at Sun Xiaohong distressedly and said, "Xiaohong, don't wash, let's go into the house to eat, it's cold if you don't eat again!" What your mother said is also angry, don't take it to heart! ”

"Well, grandma, I know, you go back to the house first, I'll go to dinner after washing!" Xiaohong glanced at her grandmother with tears in her eyes, lowered her head and continued to wash the clothes, and after washing, she wrung out the clothes and hung them on the clothes pole. Then he slowly walked into the house, sat down at the table and began to eat dinner. She ate the soft meals one bite at a time, thinking about what had happened to her, and sour tears flowed down her cheeks into the rice bowl and were swallowed into her stomach.

"Xiaohong, the work on the construction site is very tiring, if you can't do it, let's stop doing it! Look at your mother's anger, she also feels sorry for you, so she said this regardless of it. You said that you were serving two bricklayers and carrying bricks and mud by yourself, but I think they just didn't know how to count you, and this work was so tiring that we couldn't do it no matter how much money we were given. It's good for you to do whatever you want, aren't you stupid! You are different from Sihuan, your brother is on the construction site, why can't she be asked to do such work if there is a lack of people. I don't think you'll go tomorrow! Sun Guodong saw that Xiaohong was fine, and drove the carriage to the vegetable field again.

Listening to her father's words, Sun Xiaohong's two hands shook instinctively, and she didn't speak, she lowered her head silently. Mom's words are for her own good, but she doesn't talk about benefits. Dad's words are also for his own good, it sounds like he is explaining something to his mother, and grandma's words are also for his own good, speaking of which, they are not willing to let themselves go to the construction site again, and now, she doesn't know who to listen to. He crossed his legs, bowed his head and sat there, silent.

Mom didn't come over to scold her again, she saw Xiaohong's pitiful appearance, and regretted her impulsiveness just now. She had to get up early tomorrow to go into the city to sell vegetables, so she lay down on the kang with her clothes and went to sleep.

After Sun Xiaohong had dinner, she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, boiled another pot of hot water, and then slowly poured it into the basin, and she grinned and put a pair of feet into it. She walked on the construction site for a day, and there were many blisters on the soles of her feet, each of which was very large, and it hurt when she touched her heart with her hand. She rubbed it gently with her hands, and each time she rubbed it, it was like masochism.

Thinking that there would be more tiring work waiting for him tomorrow, Sun Xiaohong gritted her teeth, and without saying a word, she used a thin needle to pick up these blisters one by one, squeezed out the pus inside, and then applied some anti-inflammatory potion to the blisters with cotton wool, and then treated them briefly with cotton wool, and then limped to sleep on the kang. Although the whole family was against her going to the construction site again, she had already made up her mind and did not make any changes.

At night, she slept soundly, and even dreamed that she was still moving bricks on the construction site. In her sleep, she looked in the mirror at her funny appearance, and suddenly her mother's words rang in her ears, and she was frightened and suddenly woke up from her dream. Her mother's words kept echoing in her mind, and she felt very uncomfortable, but her words were right for people and things, and she was afraid that she would be bullied. Whether you listen or not is your own business, and whether your mother says it or not is another matter.

At the end of the day, she still can't hold a grudge against her mother. She couldn't be more clear, after all, she was not deeply involved in the world, but she didn't understand some of the more complicated things in society, which made her mother worry too much. Now lying on the kang head, remembering what he said against his mother, it is also wrong. No matter how she says that she is also her own mother, she has said that she has scolded, and she can't hold grudges.

The next morning, my mother and they went to the city to sell vegetables as usual, because the fifth son was very familiar with the third brother of the vegetable seller, and the cooperation between them was also smooth. As much as their family's vegetables were pulled, they kept as much as they wanted, and the third brother was snapped up by the vegetable sellers when they resold it. After unloading the vegetables and passing the scales, the fifth son was about to go back with the carriage, and the third brother stopped him from behind: "Fifth son, wait a while!" The third brother is happy today, and I really want to tell you something that makes you happy, what do you think? ”

When the fifth son heard the third brother calling him from behind, he raised the reins and whip and handed them to Sun Guodong in the car and said, "Dad, the third brother has something to do with me, I'll go and see what else he needs tomorrow?" ”

"Okay, you go, what kind of food does he want, have you made it clear to others, save people from worrying, I will drive the car outside the courtyard now and wait for you at the door!" After speaking, Sun Guodong got out of the carriage, took the reins of the horse, and walked out cautiously.

"Third brother, what kind of dishes do you want tomorrow, I'll go back and prepare them for you. If you want to say as much as you want, the little brother will definitely send it to you, and you will earn a thin and slippery dew. What do you think? Dude is interesting enough, right? Seeing the third brother walking towards him, the fifth son took out a box of soft-wrapped Changbai Mountain from his pocket, took out one from it at random, and handed it over. Then he pressed the lighter in his hand, and only heard the sound of "pop", and the cigarette in the third brother's mouth lit.

"The fifth son will come to trouble, and doing things with someone like you is a success! That's not what I'm calling you today, though. I just wanted to ask how old you are this year? The third brother puffed out a puff of cigarette, and he watched Wuzi sell the guanzi and deliberately let him guess. Wuzi couldn't guess, he touched the back of his head, a little inexplicable. But it's not easy to ask, so I just stand there and look down and smirk.

"I said third brother, are you selling vegetables and selling red eyes, why are you asking about this? What's the matter, are you trying to sell me too? The fifth son didn't know what the third brother's gourd was selling, so he leaned over and said with a hippie smile.

"I don't dare to sell you as a living treasure! You see, I sell vegetables. If I sell you, your mother won't have to fight with me! Besides, I don't have that much courage! You think of me too much, I want to have those two times, and I won't be in the market for a long time! The third brother took a hard puff of cigarette, over-indulged in smoking, and then threw the cigarette butt in his mouth to the ground and extinguished it with his foot.

"Then what did you tell me to do? What's the matter, do you want to ask your brother to rub it? The fifth son tried to hand him a cigarette again, but he stopped him.

"You kid knows how to eat, so I'll be honest with you. My aunt has a younger sister at home, who seems to be the same age as you, I see that you are quite capable of work, and I want to match you two, I don't know if you are willing? The fifth son guessed for a long time, and it turned out to be like this. He scratched his head with his hand and smiled embarrassedly: "I really can't do anything about this, my mother is outside the hospital, why don't you ask?" ”

"You kid, you usually know that you have a poor mouth, and you will drop the chain at a critical time! Okay, you wait, I'll go talk to your mother and see what she has to say about you? If she agrees, we'll settle the matter. If this thing really happens, we will become relatives! You've got to thank me! ”
