Before getting off work that day, Shu Wan's mother Ding Xiang called: "Wan'er, it's your grandmother's birthday at night, don't forget." ”

Shu Wan said "um", his tone was detached, and he said, "There's nothing else, then I'll hang up the phone." ”

"It's been so many years, don't you even call your mother?" Ding Xiang's tone was full of resentment.

Shu Wan paused for two seconds and said, "Otherwise, you two should go and have another son." Now the two-child policy is also in place. ”

"Shu Wan! Do you want to be angry with me so that you can be happy? Ding Xiang screamed and cried.

"Okay, then I'll hang up. I'll get there. Shu Wan said impatiently, so he hung up the phone directly.

Since childhood, Shu Wan has been particularly envious of the relationship between other children and their parents, intimate and warm. But when it came to me, I couldn't create that kind of atmosphere. She grew up in her grandmother's house. And grandma is patriarchal.

As for the idea of patriarchy, that is a historical legacy, and it cannot simply be evaluated by right or wrong. If you have been indoctrinated with the idea of "patriarchy" since you were a child, it must be difficult to change that view all at once. Of course, she resented her grandmother. But this hatred slowly faded as my grandmother got older day by day.

But the resentment towards his parents has not subsided. Every time there was an argument, her mother blamed her for why she couldn't be like other girls, and she would explode when her parents were intimate little padded jackets. She would ask them loudly why she left her at her grandmother's house under the pretext that she was busy with business and couldn't take care of her, so that she could grow up with her uncle's cousin and be bullied by everyone. And every time such a farce ends, it ends with Ding Xiang's crying.

"My daughter is a money-loser!"

"Throw it away!"

"Your parents gave birth to a younger brother in private, that's why they put you at your grandmother's house."

"This is my house, get out of here!"

"Who told you to eat? It's dirty! ”

"Your cousin loves this dish! When your cousin finishes eating, you can eat again! ”

……

Every time he thought of that, Shu Wan's heart would become very cold and hard. She was still so young at that time, she needed someone to love her, she would be scared, she would miss her parents. But they left her to fend for herself.

Fortunately, my grandfather didn't have too much patriarchal thinking. But he doesn't seem to have much status at home. He couldn't do physical work for a long time, and he was sick all day long, and he was a medicine jar. The economic base determines the superstructure. At that time, everything in the family was decided by my grandmother and uncle. Shu Wanna and her grandfather feel a little dependent on each other, and they are often scolded by other people in the family. The guild would hide a small part of the small snacks that relatives came to see him and secretly stuffed them for Shu Wan to eat; Otherwise, he will be eaten by his uncle's son, his eldest cousin Ding Mingquan. It's a pity that when Shu Wan was in junior high school, his grandfather died.

Shu Wan packed up his things and got off work and drove to his uncle Ding Dagang's house. Now, my grandmother has been brought to the city and lives with my uncle. Don't be in a hurry to exaggerate the good of your uncle's family. The eldest uncle's house was bought by several other siblings with money. My grandmother's living expenses are also paid by several other siblings on a monthly basis.

I don't know whether to say that the people before me were great or ignorant. In the era of super scarcity of materials and imperfect medical technology, my grandmother raised three boys and five girls. These eight children are all tall and have a lot of food. It is not an easy task to raise them to grow up healthy. It can be said that my grandfather died early because he had to work hard to support the children and was overdrawn.

Except for my grandmother's patriarchal thinking, which makes people unhappy, she is very good and a very capable woman. She is now in her nineties and still very strong. Shu Wan's tall genes in their family also originated from her. She is taller than the average old lady.

Over the years, my grandmother's attitude towards Shu Wan has improved. Seeing Shu Wan coming, she greeted her with a smile and said, "Wan'er, it's really costing you." ”

"That's as it should be." Shu Wan said lightly, and handed her the ginseng that he had bought in Changbai Mountain.

"Sister, you're here, you want to kill me!" The eldest daughter of the second aunt, Xue Ying, greeted her and held Shu Wan's arm affectionately.

"What do you want me to do?" Shu Wan frowned and said.

"Well, isn't it a change of season lately? When did the clothing company you opened hold promotions? Xue Ying asked with a grin.

"Sister, I've told you hundreds of times, the company opened by my eldest cousin is for private customization, what kind of promotion?" The second aunt's second daughter, Xue Xiao, ran over and said.

Shu Wan's second aunt Ding Qing "inherited" her mother's "patriarchal" thinking, and worked hard to give birth to a son. She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and finally gave birth to a son. The third daughter was given away, and the eldest daughter, second daughter, and youngest son raised themselves.

"Oh, yes, yes, I'll just say, the dress that my eldest cousin gave me last time fits very well. I wore it and I felt like I was very classy. That, big cousin, can you give me another set? It's best to send a winter coat. You also know that I look better for the New Year, and I have to save face when I go to my boyfriend's house. Xue Ying said with a shy face.

"Tut-tut, do you know how much a custom winter coat costs? It's really a lion's mouth. You're less like an uncle, like a vampire! Xue Xiao spoke unceremoniously.

She pushed Xue Ying away, grabbed Shu Wan's arm, and said, "Cousin, I haven't seen you much lately, I miss me." I see that you have lost weight, you must be too tired to go to work, you must take good care of yourself. ”

Shu Wan glanced at it and found that not many people came to her grandmother's birthday this time. The two daughters of the second aunt came, and the other juniors did not come. I knew this, and I didn't come myself.

Because of the matter of supporting my grandmother, those aunts and uncles had a very stiff quarrel with their children. I bought a duplex for my uncle, with a floor of 200 square meters. Because the uncle said that their whole family had to live together lively, so that the grandmother could enjoy the joy of the four generations in the same house. The house I bought is still in the high-end community of Wangcheng - Donglin County, with more than 50,000 yuan per square meter. In this way, the house alone will cost more than 20 million. The money was shared by these aunts, second uncles, and younger uncles.

Although in terms of the amount of sharing, combined with the actual situation of each family, there is a big difference. But in the end, a lot of money was paid. The least out is the second aunt, who also has 300,000. Other people's families, of course, the most are the wronged Shu Wan's family, which has 15 million. followed by my aunt, who came out with three million. The second uncle, the younger uncle, the third aunt, and the fourth aunt shared the rest of the money equally.
