Chapter 10 They are all poor

Xu Zhenhua's face darkened, and several of their brothers had heard it since they were children, and among them, he heard it the most. Mother Xu's favorite thing to talk about is "You little rabbits eat me and drink my ......"

When he was young, he listened a lot, so he asked his mother, "Mom, am I your own son?" If your own son eats and drinks from you, shouldn't you raise me? ”

In exchange for a fat beating from the mother, "The little rabbit cub was born in October when the old lady was pregnant, and the old lady can say whatever she wants!" ”

When he grew up, every time he thought of his mother's injustice to him, he didn't understand it, and sometimes he thought that this was not his own mother.

But when he was a child, he always remembered this sentence from his mother, and his mother not only said it to him, but also said it to the second and third children, and even to the little sister.

He had also heard other mothers scold their children, "If you crawl out of my belly, you will have to be a cow and a horse for me for the rest of your life" and other more ugly words. My mother never said that, and their family knew that the phrase "eat me and drink mine" was my mother's mantra.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the mother's personality has not changed, and the son learned this sentence at such a young age.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, and his eyes fell on the woman who was coaxing his son, slightly distracted.

This woman was also forced by his mother to marry him, he thought that after so many years, he had already escaped from his mother's control, but today he only knew that the day Xu Nian stayed in this family, no, it should be said that as long as he stayed in the army for one day, he had to be on guard at all times.

It's ironic, it's sad.

He squinted, thinking that most of his monthly salary was sent back, and he was reluctant to buy even boxes of cigarettes to raise this large family, but he bought tobacco leaves grown by local old farmers and rolled them himself, for which many urban soldiers looked down on themselves......

How much effort and sweat did he put in, and he almost lost his life on the battlefield in exchange for his current status and honor.

But for more than ten years, this home has brought him disappointment in addition to disappointment.

After he came back, he rejected his mother's proposal to let him marry Lin Tong, and when he concealed his current position and salary, the original guilt in his heart disappeared without a trace.

Although this woman coaxed her son to be naturally unpretentious, and her son's dependence on her, it all showed that she was really good to her son.

It made the bad feeling in his heart less, but when he thought that these two marriages were not his willing, they were both forced, his heart hardened again. Lin Tong didn't know that he had been like this for a while, and his impression of her in his heart had changed and changed, changed and changed.

If Lin Tong knew, he would definitely laugh at him, a big man, or a soldier, can he be strong-willed? Of course, don't worry about hating her, it's better to spoil her to the sky!

She put Xu Nian on the kang, patted his little buttocks, and kissed his little face, "I'll go see if there's anything to eat?" ”

The child was shy, but no one had ever been so gentle with her like her mother, and kissed him, and he was a little afraid of his father, and refused to let her go, pulling her shirt and not letting go.

Lin Tong had to coax him patiently: "Is it okay for Xiao Nian to eat sweet potatoes first, mom go and see, is there anything else to eat?" Xiao Nian and his father didn't have enough to eat. ”

This "mother" calls herself, and after saying it once, it is not so difficult to say it again.

Xu Nian let go of his little hand, thought for a while and said, "I want to eat potatoes, burnt potatoes, but they are fragrant!" After thinking about it, he complained, "The third aunt burned it for Brother Xiaozhu, but she didn't let me eat it." ”

It is said that there is no taboo in children's words, and Xu Nian's words undoubtedly made Xu Zhenhua have some thoughts in his heart.

It's just that in front of Lin Tong, he didn't say anything.

Lin Tong didn't see his big black face, and said with a smile: "Okay, if there is no rice, let's give Xiao Nian boiled potatoes to eat." The third aunt burned Xiaozhu, and her mother burned Xiaonian. ”

Xu Nian giggled, and lowered his head a little embarrassed, "Mom's roasted potatoes are delicious!" ”

I feel a little proud in my heart, Brother Xiaozhu has a mother, and now he has a mother.

Looking at Lin Tong's back as he went out, Xu Zhenhua asked his son: "Does Xiao Nian like this mother?" ”

Xu Nian corrected him seriously, "It's not this, it's my mother, Xiao Nian likes it, and my mother gives Xiao Nian delicious food." ”

The so-called delicious is nothing more than a roasted potato, roasted sweet potato or beans.

Lin Tong herself is also living in the second sister-in-law's house, how can there be anything delicious, it would be good if she could barely eat herself.

Xu Zhenhua nodded, and asked again: "Your third aunt often gives Xiaozhu boiled potatoes and doesn't give you food?" ”

Xu Nian nodded, "Second aunt give Xiao Nian, Xiao Zhu is bad, rob me." ”

Xu Zhenhua understood, the third daughter-in-law didn't give the child food, but the second daughter-in-law was not bad, and she knew to take care of Xiao Nian.

He touched the top of his son's head with his big hand, and his tone was a little stern, "Next time Xiaozhu robs you, you will snatch it back, manly man, you have to protect your own things." ”

Xu Nian didn't understand the last sentence, but he still understood the first sentence that his father said, and he said timidly: "Xiaozhu beats people, it hurts!" ”

He couldn't beat Xiaozhu, so he went to sue his grandmother, but his grandmother didn't care, and said that he was useless.

Xu Zhenhua listened to the fire, he was eighteen months older than the second child, and when he was a child, he was as thin and small as a son, and the second child often robbed him of food, but he was ruthless at that time, and he was also hungry, once he pressed the second child to the ground and beat him well, and since then the second child has not dared to rob him of food.

"If he hits you, you won't fight back!" He angrily slapped his son on the back of the head and scolded, "You you! ”

You must know that Xiaozhu is only five years old, and he is only a month older than Xu Nian.

Xu Nian saw that his father was looking at him a little unkindly, and the back of his head was patted and it hurt a little, so he flattened his mouth and wanted to cry.

Xu Zhenhua frowned, why does this kid love to cry so much, this is not the same as when he was a child. "You hold me back, don't cry!"

Xu Nian was startled and looked at him blankly.

Xu Zhenhua saw that he was scared of his son, his stiff face softened, and he slowed down his voice and said: "In the future, let your mother take you, run every day, look at you, you are too thin, you must know that you are old and I ......" He looked down at his son's blank little eyes and sighed, "Eat quickly, if you want to eat it, I can eat it." ”

His words to scare his son were very effective, Xu Nian sobbed and stuffed the sweet potato into his mouth, for fear of being snatched by Xu Zhenhua, Xu Zhenhua was angry for a while, but he couldn't be angry with a child, so he had to say depressedly: "It's all poor!" ”

Xu Nian swallowed the sweet potato in his mouth, choked his neck, looked at Xu Zhenhua's heart was a little sour, and handed him the water at the bottom of the bowl, "Oh, drink it!" ”

Xu Nian looked at him, looked at the water at the bottom of the bowl, pouted and shook his head.
