Xiao Daqian has not felt very well recently, he has not been beaten by his father Xiao Weidong for three days and nine hours, which makes him quite unaccustomed, when he deliberately grabbed the sweet potato porridge in the hands of his second sister Xiao Aihua during the morning meal, he met the conditions for being "cut", but his father just glared at him viciously, and did not do anything, and he deliberately overturned the bench contracted by his younger brother Xiao, and the two-year-old baby sat on the ground and began to howl, and the aunt ran over to help Xiao Contract, and complained in her mouth: "Boss, why are you bullying the three children?" Aren't you afraid that your dad will beat you? ”

Xiao Daqian was very arrogant: "What am I afraid of?" Isn't he beating me the same as eating shallots? I've got calluses on my hammer! ”

Xiao Aihua looked at his brother with a smile: "Brother, let me look at your hammer!" Hee-hee! ”

Xiao Daqian was very unconvinced: "What do you see?" What should I do if I can't dial it out in my eyes? Second sister, you're in the fourth grade, and you've seen a few male classmates hammer them? This is obviously a bit insulting, and Xiao Daqian smiled cheaply like a big brother.

Rural girls are thin-skinned, Xiao Aihua, who was still smiling, whined and cried in a blink of an eye, her cry and the cry of the little brother were intertwined, Xiao Daqian looked at the scene uncontrollable and was happy, and glanced at the head of the family next to him out of the corner of his eye, looking forward to his father's shot, Xiao Weidong rarely used his fists to beat his son, and most of the slaps were slaps, sometimes he would turn his palms into knives, chopping melons and vegetables, that is, the "cutting" that Xiao Daqian said just now, it hurt but it didn't actually hurt. In fact, it is not only Xiao Daqian, the family has been cut by Xiao Weidong, he accounts for the vast majority, the aunt will make a very peculiar sound when she is cut, because the family is on the same kang, so Xiao Weidong's violence to the aunt is very little, Xiao Daqian, who has not yet fully become an adult, does not understand the meaning of the cut, but he also faintly feels that it is wrong, recently he is actually a little looking forward to his aunt being beaten by his father, which is also an internal reason for his itchy buttocks.

Their family is a bit special, Xiao Daqian and Xiao Aihua are brother and sister, their mother died when Xiao Aihua was six years old, and her aunt Kang Yunmei is filling the house, that is, her stepmother! She and Xiao Weidong's ex-wife are sisters, and they only married after her sister's death, Xiao Aihua was raised by this aunt and stepmother since she was a child, so she called Kang Yunmei her mother, and Xiao Daqian didn't seem to be able to get rid of the shadow of her mother's untimely death, not only did she not call Kang Yunmei her mother, but occasionally she didn't even call her aunt, but called "you" or "she", and occasionally encouraged her sister to keep pace with herself, but Xiao Aihua, a little traitor, would betray him every time, and he would be cut by Xiao Weidong every time.

Xiao Daqian is now studying in the middle school in the town, his grades are very average, and he is now in the second stage of junior high school, so it can basically be asserted that there is no hope of entering a key high school, Xiao Weidong and Kang Yunmei have quietly told him to find a matchmaker for Zhang Luo, and when he graduates from junior high school, he will no longer study and go home to get married. This is very common in Gouzi Town, the vast majority of boys can book a family business before graduating from junior high school, only a few rich children who have to take the technical secondary school or university entrance examination and the baby who can't support the wall in the mud is an exception, such as the current economic situation of the Xiao family, it is not easy to find a decent female baby in Xiao Daqian, his family belongs to the kind of poor middle peasant level family, Xiao Weidong occasionally does some business of selling grain or large livestock, and Kang Yunmei will only "plane" in the crop field, Two years ago, Kang Yunmei got married and gave birth to a boy, which made the family even worse.

In the rural areas in 1985, although the rural life was much better after the joint production contract, the economy was congenitally insufficient, and it was good for a family of three children to be fed, not to mention that Xiao Daqian and Xiao Aihua had to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees every year, and the youngest son Xiao contracted to have a cold and fever at every turn, in fact, there was a very invisible reason that Xiao Daqian's mother owed a lot of debts when she was sick, and she had not completely paid off for so many years. Leaving Kang Yunmei crying and crying to face relatives who asked for debts from outside, but the situation has eased a little in the past two years, especially Xiao Daqian has begun to become half of the labor force, and the heavy work in the field of responsibility can also help his parents share a little, Xiao Weidong plans to bear fruit in the apple field of responsibility this year, so that there will be an economic basis for the eldest son to go on a blind date.

Xiao Daqian is fourteen years old, a second-year junior high school student, but his mind is not fully mature, and he will cause something at home and at school. Sure enough, as soon as breakfast was eaten, the family turned on their backs, and they were about to be cut according to the custom.

But today's atmosphere is a little wrong, Xiao Weidong has just begun to roll up his sleeves, which is a precursor to the move, but then he stopped and coughed a few times seriously: "Boss, can't you stop a little?" Ask your aunt to find you a new dress in a while, and I'll take you to Song Tower. Xiao Weidong also wanted his eldest son to call Kang Yunmei Niang at first, when this kid is tempered by you, he will not change his words, and then Kang Yunmei said to call his aunt, his aunt is more psychologically satisfying than his stepmother, and then he simply followed Xiao Daqian, but Xiao Baobao, who just learned to speak a few days ago, also learned to call his brother Aunt Kang Yunmei, and suddenly a women's single, and then a men's single, if it weren't for Xiao Aihua protecting his younger brother, maybe Xiao Baobao would have been beaten to the point of losing his language function.

Xiao Daqian was a little confused: "What are you doing in Song Tower?" Dad, I'm going to hoe in the field! "Today is Sunday, he has already been arranged for farm work, Xiao Daqian likes to be busy in the fields in the spring, and he has also mentally prepared himself to be a farmer. At this time, the apple blossoms in the responsibility field bloom beautifully, but there is a taste of farmhouse fertilizer, Xiao Daqian can't say what characteristics he likes the field, when writing essays in junior high school, the teacher often asks everyone to sing the praises of the beautiful countryside, Xiao Daqian is shriveled up a few words: the countryside is very large, there will be a lot of flowers, the flowers are very fragrant, and the crops are very green.......

Xiao Weidong obviously didn't want him to know too much: "Come with me to the door." Wear your four-pocket gown, and you wash your face again, don't let there be "eat Hu" in the corners of your eyes! "Eating Ma Hu means eye droppings.

Xiao Daqian sighed, he knew that there must be something important, his four-pocket gown was made during the New Year, the craftsmanship of the blind tailor in the town, he rarely had new clothes at this age, most of them were wearing his father's clothes to change the style of being smaller, and he gave it to the second sister after wearing it, this is the stage of the boy's rapid development, and the clothes during the New Year basically can't be worn for another year, but the four-pocket gown he wore on the first day of the New Year's Day and was put away, and now he suddenly let it be taken out There must be a special purpose.

Kang Yunmei had already been ready, and handed it over without waiting for Xiao Daqian to react, the weather was cold during the New Year, and he had to put a padded jacket on the inside of his gown, but now even if he wears it on his body, he has grown a lot taller and stronger in the past three months, and he has now surpassed the height of his aunt, and Xiao Daqian can be regarded as a tall man among his peers.

Kang Yunmei came over to clean up Xiao Daqian, which made the boy a little unaccustomed, and he asked, "What are you doing?" Is it to my grandma's house? ”

Kang Yunmei's mother's house is in Song Lou, but since she married her ex-brother-in-law, Xiao Daqian's grandfather has almost no contact with his family, and now Xiao Daqian's question makes the two adults a little embarrassed.
