Seeing this, I suddenly lost my fresh energy, so I ran out to find a pillar to play. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

By noon, when I went home for dinner, there was still smoke in the kitchen, and it was clear that the meal had not yet been cooked.

"Why is it so slow?"

I muttered to myself, and when I entered the kitchen, I saw that the smoke was billowing in the kitchen, my father was boiling the pot, my mother was frying the pot, and there were two plates of fried dishes on the brick and mud pot.

When she saw me come in, my mother hurriedly said, "Calf, bring the vegetables to the house!" Your sister-in-law is here for the first time, don't steal it! ”

I said yes, took a chicken nugget and threw it in my mouth, and then went out with two plates of food.

As I walked, I still thought that this 'Duanpan'er is so powerful', I'm afraid that my little brother will only have enough to drink a pot in the future!

Unexpectedly, when I walked to the door of the hall, I suddenly heard a soft cry and a small muttering sound from the West House, as if Bai Tingting was crying!

"What's going on? Why did you cry when you came to my house? ”

I was curious, and I had an extra eye, so I walked lightly and approached the window, wanting to hear what he and my little brother were talking about.

I only heard Bai Tingting 'woo' twice and said, "Zhang Sihai, didn't you say that your brother is alone?"

"Yes! I have only one brother - a calf! ”

"You, don't you still have three brothers, why didn't you say it at the time?"

"Hehe, you asked about your brother, and you didn't ask your brother!"

Hearing this, I admired my little brother's eloquence, but I also vaguely understood the reason why Bai Tingting was crying - I think my family has a large population, and there will be many things in the future!

"But you don't have to cry! You're too careful, aren't you?! ”

I was thinking about it, when I heard Bai Tingting say angrily: "You! Zhang Sihai, you lied to me! Okay, even if I didn't ask you if you have a brother, what about the three-room tiled house you mentioned? ”

Say that a thatched house is a tiled house!

As soon as I heard it, I felt that my little brother was a little unrealistic. Our thatched house is the most authentic thatched house, and it has the characteristics of a basement, which is a mud wall made by my grandfather who found someone to dig the soil on site and step on the grass.

The hall is a pit, and when it rains, water enters the house; The wall is less than two meters high, and you must bow your head when entering the house. Such thatched huts are the only ones in our village.

But there is a tile under the eaves of my house, which is left over from the construction of a house for my third brother, and my father put the rest of the tiles under the eaves.

There is a saying that 'the old finch sweeps the eaves', and my father did this mainly because he was afraid that the sparrows would sweep away the grass on the eaves, and the house would seep and leak when it rained a lot in the summer.

At this time, I heard my little brother laugh and say, "Why did I lie to you, don't you see that there is a tile under the eaves of our house!"

Hearing my little brother say this, I was a little dazed, I didn't expect their relationship to be like this!

And at this time, I heard the sound of 'dong dong' drums in the west house, accompanied by Bai Tingting's angry voice: "Zhang Sihai, I don't care, if you don't build me a tiled house, I won't get married, and I want a complete courtyard!"

Hearing this, I can fully understand why my homeroom teacher is cold-faced!

At this time, my mother called me to serve the food again, and I ran out as soon as I brought it to the table.

Then my mother asked me to call my three sisters-in-law to accompany Bai Tingting to dinner, their daughters were together, but I didn't have the right to serve on the table, fortunately, there were dishes left in the kitchen, and my mother rolled a pancake for me and several nephews and nieces each, and sent us away.

When I came back from the herding in the evening, I saw that my parents had no smiles on their faces. Three days later, when I came back from school, I saw my father crouching by the trough, his eyes buttoning and sighing, and my mother with a sad face.

When I saw them, I asked my mother what was the matter. The mother didn't say anything about my child. Later, I asked in a hurry, and she probably wanted to talk about it, so she told me about it.

It turned out that Bai Tingting's father and daughter came and made two requests: one is to get married as soon as possible; The second is to build a wedding house, set a gift money, and do a dowry.

According to our rules here, the money should be paid by the man!

But Bai Tingting's parents took into account the special situation of my family, so they didn't want the gift money of 8,000 ba, not only did they not want it, but his parents also wanted to give 8,000 to my little brother, and let my little brother send it back again, so that the people over there could see it, so that they could cover their faces and make Bai Tingting's father Dan look good in front of people.

The other is the dowry money, half of each of the two families! As for the house, at that time, I didn't hear that the woman was asked to use the money to build a house when I got married, but now there are few of them, except for the son-in-law!

Bai Tingting's father and daughter did this, but it was also benevolent and righteous - you can't let people give people and give money!

But the problem was that at that time, except for a cow, two bags of wheat, and a few bags of corn, there was nothing else of value in my family, and of course, there was no money!

And when my mother said that it would cost at least 15,000 to build a house and get married, I also felt dizzy. The cow, in my opinion, was worth no more than two thousand (in '97 prices had risen with income).

After that, my family entered a period of goosebumps, in order to marry my little brother, my father held a family meeting, and summoned my three brothers and two sisters who became a family, with only one purpose to raise money!

My father gave them a good amount - three thousand per family!

But after the family meeting, things went wrong!

My lady just got married, and said that the newly opened small shop is running with tight funds, and there is not much money, so it is understandable to use it for the second job!

Then my eldest sister took it and said that there are many children and high tuition fees, which is understandable!

But when it comes to my three brothers, it doesn't make people understand!

First of all, my sister-in-law quarreled with my eldest brother and wanted to jump into the well!

Then my second sister-in-law quarreled with my second brother and went back to my parents' house!

Then my third brother and my third sister-in-law divorced!

For a while, the house was smoky and restless! My parents worked hard like firefighters to finally extinguish it, but there was no sign of them getting them to take the money.

So my father started borrowing money, but most of the people didn't have much money at that time, and a few hundred could still make up for it - no one had anything to do!

And in the case of my family, I was able to ask my father to borrow money, and there were few families who were willing to borrow it, so my father borrowed 2,000 later.

This calculation is that even if the cattle are sold, it is only enough for a small half!

My father was so sad that he was angry with wine, drunk and drunk, and scolded my little brother when he was drunk. But my brother usually lives in a dormitory in the town, and he can't hear it. So my father squatted at the gate and scolded my three brothers every day.

Later, I don't know if I was scolded by my father in a hurry, or what's wrong, my three brothers each took five hundred, but when you add it up, it's only half!

The house was in chaos, and I was also on fire at the city gate, which affected the pond fish.

One day in late June, during a Chinese class, Bai Tingting called me outside the classroom, her face was as cold as ice, and asked me if your father had built a house.

I said not yet, and was about to cover it.

Hearing me say this, Bai Tingting snorted and said tell him to hurry up. As she spoke, she looked at her stomach.

Following her gaze, I noticed that her belly was slightly bulging, and I understood why her family was in a hurry to build a house - it was ugly to be pregnant out of wedlock at that time, not to mention that she was still a teacher, and it was really ugly to spread the word!

But now it's trending!

And Bai Tingting saw me looking at her, blushing and said What to see, go to the corner and stand, and the basin of water!

I was young at the time, and I was depressed in my heart, you have a big belly and it's not my business, why are you bothering me?

From that day on, I annoyed her, and then I was not good at language and couldn't write chapters, and it was because of her!

Later, after the July holiday, although the money was not enough, my father began to find a construction team to build a house in the spirit of 'there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain', and at this time, my brother also borrowed 2,000 yuan from his colleague and got it back.

In this way, even if the cattle are sold, it is only about 8,000 yuan, and the house is almost the same, but the money for marriage is still not settled.

When the house was halfway built, my father began to feed the cows, and when I asked me to herd the cows, I would put them for a little longer, and sometimes I would wipe my tears when I saw him feeding the cows.

I understood that my father was going to sell the cattle, and my heart ached. Later, when I listened to his conversation with his mother, I realized that there was another reason for his tears: he was old, he couldn't find a job, and the land was divided among his brothers, and there was no money for the project, and he was in debt, and he was also panicked!

When I went to the bull market again, I suddenly remembered that Old Man Liu should have money, so I told Old Man Liu about the situation at home, and then borrowed money from Old Man Liu on my own initiative.

After hearing this, Old Man Liu touched my head and said, "Good boy, I know the Gu family, I didn't misunderstand you!"

On that day, Old Man Liu didn't mention whether to lend or not to borrow, but the next day Old Man Liu came to my house in person, took out 3,000 yuan, and gave it to my father, and at the same time said that there was still some money, but let people borrow it to buy a car, and let my father use the money first, and if there is one, he will pay it back, and if he does not, he will not pay it back.

My father was so excited that he hurriedly arranged for my mother to cook and let me go to buy wine......

During the banquet, Old Man Liu looked at me and spoke to my father: "I have observed for a while, this child has aura and is sincere, hey! You know that I have no children and no daughters, and there is one less to send to the end, how about you let Xiaotian be my godson! ”

It turns out that Old Man Liu is fighting this thought, and he has to take me as an apprentice, and he has also tested me in the past few years!

And after listening to Old Man Liu's words, my father patted his thigh and said that I had this idea for a long time, but I was embarrassed to say it.

Then my father asked me to kowtow to Old Man Liu, remembering his love for me over the years, and I was willing!

In this way, Old Man Liu became my godfather, but after Old Man Liu left, my father still decided to sell the cattle - there was still a lot of money left!

In order to fatten the cattle and sell them at a good price, I extended the time for the cattle to graze. At the same time, herding cattle is not so casual, but leads the cows to a place with good grass.

Fortunately, because of going to school at this time, I no longer herd cattle for a few sisters-in-law, and it is easy for a cow.

On that day, I was herding cattle and chasing good grass, and before I knew it, I entered a small ravine with pine trees and wild grass. After a while, when it was getting dark, I shouted and walked ahead, wanting to go home.

Usually, these cows listen to me very much, and my cow is even more obedient!

As I walked, I didn't hear the sound of cows' hooves.
