Chapter 335: Gambling Money
Li Xin walked towards him, picked up the hoe in his hand and put it outside the door, Guan Wenjing walked into the hall, looked at Guan Quan and Hu Yueying and asked, "He has been gambling at the entrance of the village recently?" ”
Hu Yueying picked her hair in embarrassment, and Guan Quan responded in a low voice. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Hair"
"What about every meal?"
Guan Quan was silent for a while, and said: "At noon, he went to another house to eat, and the sixth brother came back in the evening, and the two of them were at home." Saying that, he coughed in a low voice and said, "I haven't let Yueying cook at home these days, so I go to my father-in-law's house." ”
Speaking of this, Hu Yueying had a slight smile on her face, and when Li Xin walked in, she happened to see it, Hu Yueying was a little embarrassed, and Li Xin smiled at her.
Guan Wen pondered for a moment and said, "When he comes back in the evening, you tell him, he can't not come back in the evening, right?" ”
"I'll come back when I come back......" Guan Quan sighed: "I really don't want to talk to him, as soon as he speaks, he will be angry, and he will scold him when he splits his head and covers his face." "It's just kicking your nose in the face.
Guan Quan also lowered his head slightly as he spoke, looking a little helpless.
Guan Wen sat on the stool, Li Xin poured water for him to drink, took a sip of Guan Wen and said, "You tell him in the evening to see if he goes." If you want to go, let him go, and if you don't go, forget it. ”
Hu Yueying took a step forward and said a little impatiently: "I'm afraid that my father's temperament is ......."
Hu Yueying paused, turned her head and stomped her feet a little angrily.
Guan Wen glanced at her, looked at Guan Quan and said, "Let's see what he means first, my uncle always has to give gifts when he celebrates his birthday." If Dad is going, let him give the gift by himself, and you don't care about him so much. ”
Hu Yueying's face looked slightly better. Guan Quan replied lightly.
It can be seen that this is not what he thinks about in his heart.
As far as Guan Quan is concerned, he doesn't care much about the gift money, he just thinks that if his uncle is a birthday, his father will also go. After drinking two glasses of wine at the banquet, will you start to denounce them as "unfilial sons" and make a fuss about them shouting that they want to split up? If it's in my aunt's house, it's fine. But in the restaurant, you may not know where the embarrassment will go.
There is another point, if I listen to the bias and believe it, really believe my father's words in a daze, and reprimand them for these nephews, it will be difficult for him to be a junior.
The division must be divided, but he also wants fame, doesn't he? He just didn't get ahead. I knew that I should have taken a tougher attitude when the second brother proposed to split the family, and went out with the separation family to live alone.
Now that he is the only one who works in the old house of the Guan family, how could his father let him go so easily? I thought that I had alarmed my grandfather, and my grandfather would definitely help him if he was reasonable, but I didn't expect my grandfather to ......
Thinking of this, Guan Quan's expression was a little gloomy. "Ya-wen * Yan + Love $ Shou @ Fa" He sighed and said, "That's all there is to it." ”
After a pause, Guan Quan asked, "How is Big Brother Ming'er going to go to the town?" Walking? ”
Guan Wen thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid that it will delay my work when I walk, and it will take some time to turn around to Fumanlou at the entrance of the town, so let's take a car." I'll ask Brother Yue if he wants to use the ox cart tomorrow, and if I can borrow it, we'll go together tomorrow. ”
"Then it's troublesome big brother." Guan Quan responded, stood up and said, "Then Yueying and I will go back first." ”
"Hmm."
After Guan Quan left, Guan Wen went to Brother Yue's house without saying a word, and came back not long after, saying that the matter had been discussed.
But he still had a sad look on his face.
After dinner, the whole family chatted in the courtyard, and Ah Mei teased Yang'er to talk. Li Xin turned hot water, Guan Wen squatted at Lao Guantou's feet and carefully washed Lao Guantou's feet, and trimmed his toenails with scissors.
Li Xin wiped Lao Guantou's face, pulled his hair, and asked Guan Wen, "Grandpa will go tomorrow, right?" ”
Guan Wen responded, Li Xin paused and sighed: "Grandpa has an accident." I didn't even talk to my aunt......"
Guan Wen's hand moved, and he sighed slightly, and said, "Aunt Ming'er will know." ”
"Do you blame us?" Li Xin hesitated and asked: "Grandpa has become like this, I'm afraid I will feel uncomfortable in my heart......"
"It's okay, let's just listen to what my aunt says." Guan Wen pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Besides, my aunt is not an unreasonable person, grandpa is old...... It's inevitable. ”
As he spoke, Guan Wen brushed off the toenails of the old man who had been cut out, and then put his socks on and put them in the cloth shoes.
Lao Guan squinted his eyes and asked vaguely: "Who does Shou......
Li Xin smiled and raised his voice slightly: "Grandpa, it's my uncle who is doing Shou, your son-in-law!" ”
"Son-in-law ......"
The old man laughed and nodded with satisfaction.
Lao Guan went to bed early, and after lying on the rocking chair, he closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while, Guan Wen carried him back to the house, covered him with a quilt, covered the door lightly, and went to wash his hands with a pancreas after coming out.
Now Li Xin feels that the family has made money, and the money invested in life and hygiene has also increased, and the bath room repaired by the north of the house has pancreas, which are used to wash hands, face, and bath, and Ah Mei was not very willing to use it, but now she also knows that it is much more comfortable to wash people with pancreas.
After cleaning his hands and feet, Guan Wen returned to the yard, after all, he had to get up early tomorrow, and Ah Mei obediently went to wash up and went back to the house. Li Xin coaxed Yang'er to sleep and was picking up the stools in the yard.
Guan Wenli watched her busy work in the middle, Li Xin straightened her waist slightly, glared at him and said, "Just watch, don't come to help?" ”
Guan Wen smiled: "It's just two benches, you can move it." ”
Li Xin snorted, didn't bother to take care of him, put the stool under the eaves and overlapped it, turned around and went to get hot water to wash his face.
Guan Wen went up to wash his face with Li Xin, looked at Li Xin's white feet resting in the wooden basin water, and laughed vigorously.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Xin said angrily: "It's like a fool." ”
Guan Wen sat next to Li Xin, stretched his waist and said, "I have to get up early tomorrow morning." ”
"What does waking up early have to do with your giggling?"
Li Xin glanced at him, his feet swayed in the water for a while, and he added some hot water to it, and sighed comfortably.
Guan Wen looked at the dark courtyard, the candlesticks placed by the threshold only reflected the shadows of the two of them, but the dim environment also created a warm atmosphere.
Guan Wen sighed lowly.
The voice was soft, but Li Xin still heard it. She raised her eyes slightly to look at Guan Wen, and saw that his eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if there was something that could not be resolved, and the whole person suddenly conveyed a sense of worry.
After thinking about it slightly, Li Xin asked tentatively, "Are you worried about your father?" ”
Guan Wen was stunned for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "Xin'er, are you the roundworm in my stomach?" ”
Li Xin snorted: "When I came back and told the fourth brother that you were embarrassed for a while, not because of your father?" ”
Li Xin said: "If he wants to go, he will go, is it my aunt's brother, can you still stop him?" If he doesn't go, then you have nothing else to worry about. As for the fourth brother's separation, neither of them came to you, so what can you do if you hide for a few days? When it really comes to you, it's not too late. ”
Li Xin took a handkerchief to wipe his feet, looked at him and said, "Think about the good side of everything, life will not be so bad all the time." ”
Guan Wen smiled bitterly: "I haven't thought about taking care of those things yet." ”
"And what are you doing with a sad face?" Li Xin looked at him suspiciously.
Guan Wen sighed low and said, "Xin'er, haven't you noticed?" Dad has been fond of running to the village since last year, staying there all day long, playing tricks with some old and young masters rolling dice and gambling money. It wouldn't be a good thing if he just used it as a pastime, and I wouldn't talk about it when he's free, but he's ...... now."
Li Xin put on his shoes and looked up at him.
Guan Wendao: "He doesn't have a missing arm or a broken leg, his age is not very old, and he can do the work if he moves, but he just leaves the land in the field alone, and the serious life is not good to manage, so he can go to the village to play those useless things." The fourth brother complained about him, the three men on the other side of the old house, the burden was on the shoulders of the fourth brother, how could the fourth brother be happy? Not to mention the constraints of the sixth brother's study, the cost of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the filial piety given by Mr. Zhang...... This money doesn't come out of nowhere. Dad just thought that he couldn't let the fourth brother go out to live alone, otherwise no one would take care of the land in the field, and no one would cook the food at home, but why wouldn't he restrain himself a little? ”
Li Xin pursed her lips and muttered in her heart, isn't it all used to getting a large sum of money back to Guan Ming when you were darting at that time? Isn't he just waiting for his children to send him money? is still walking on the dream of relying on Guan Zhicheng's father who is an official and an official to shake his majesty!
Speaking of which, Guan Zhicheng has been in trouble several times with unknown wealth, and he has been in contact with that little white flower lady?
Guan Wen shook his head helplessly: "I can't control the sixth brother, let alone my father, they can't even listen to my words at this time......"
Guan Wen paused and said, "What I'm worried about is that my father is addicted to gambling." ”
Li Xin sat up slightly straight.
"Nine out of ten bets are lost, and he probably hasn't won a lot of money at this time, and he hasn't lost too badly. But if one day he loses his eyes and doesn't care about anything, won't we children wipe his ass for the rest of the matter? It's like ......"
Guan Wen's words came to an abrupt end here.
And Li Xin looked at him with a solemn face.
"You want to use my dad's example, don't you?" Li Xin looked at Guan Wen and asked, "I'm afraid that one day he will lose and go bankrupt?" ”
Guan Wen was silent, and finally nodded: "My father-in-law was detained by the people in the casino at that time, and the thugs threatened his life, and my mother-in-law had to sell you to save my father-in-law for money...... If my father also encountered such a thing, and was detained and threatened with his life, Xin'er, how could I not save him? ”
Guan Wen looked at Li Xin, with some helplessness, some resentment, and some disappointment and sighs in his eyes. With such a father, what can he do as a son? Filial piety comes first, even if he says now that he doesn't care about the affairs of the Guan family's old house, but if he really wants to involve a matter of his life, Guan Wen will not be able to see death in cold blood.
That's his father, and his blood is thicker than water. (To be continued) RQ
