"Almost," said Qian Yongqiang's father, "it should be almost the same if the gate is removed." Come here, both of you, and we'll tear down the gate together. ”

"Kid dad, why are you so stubborn!" Qian Yongqiang's mother packed up the big bags and small bags, walked over, and said, "The children have said that this door can't be passed, and you still insist that he go home." Will you drive, or will he drive? It's okay to lock the car and put it at the door, just forget it. Besides, the kids haven't eaten dinner yet! ”

"How much time does it take to open a door?" Qian Yongqiang's father said dissatisfiedly, "What if such a valuable thing is placed outside the door, what if it is lost?" You can also come over and help, and let's take down the door together." ”

"Dad, the door is removed, and it will have to be installed later, how troublesome it is!"

"What's the trouble?" Qian Yongqiang's father glared at his son and said, "Your kid is now grown up and can make a lot of money, so don't take what you say to me seriously!" ”

Qian Yongqiang's mother looked at her husband's gloomy face, and saw that she couldn't move him anymore, so she had to help her husband dismantle the gate.

Qian Yongqiang and Li Qiming had no choice but to come over and tear down the door together.

Fortunately, the door of Qian Yongqiang's house is alive, and the card is deducted from the inside. A few people first lifted the door up with force, and then lifted it aside after the door shaft was detached from the buckle. The door wasn't too heavy, but a few people were still sweating from exhaustion.

When Qian Yongqiang cautiously drove the car into the yard, Qian Yongqiang's father beckoned a few more people to install the gate. After the door was installed, Qian Yongqiang's father showed a satisfied smile.

"Let's go, let's eat." Qian Yongqiang's father asked Li Qiming, "What's your name?" ”

"Uncle, my name is Li Qiming."

"Drinking?" Qian Yongqiang's father asked.

"I don't drink."

"It's better not to drink," Qian Yongqiang's father said, "It's better not to stick to wine." ”

"Why?" Li Qiming said with a smile, "It seems that my uncle doesn't drink anymore!" ”

Qian Yongqiang's mother said: "You are a person who can't do without alcohol three times a day, and you actually persuade others not to drink!" ”

"What's wrong with my drinking?" Qian Yongqiang's father said loudly, "I've been like this all my life, what does it matter if I drink or not?" The children are still young, so don't drink if you can, because drinking too much alcohol hurts your body! ”

Seeing his father's harsh words to his mother, Qian Yongqiang frowned slightly.

Qian Yongqiang's mother prepared a table of meals after being busy, beckoned everyone to sit down and eat, and then walked to the kitchen to prepare pig food to feed the pigs.

"Auntie, come over and eat together!" Li Qiming saw that Qian Yongqiang's mother didn't come to eat, so he went to the kitchen to invite.

"Child, you eat first, Auntie still has something to do, wait until you're busy, then eat."

"Mom, you eat first, I'll come to feed the pigs later!" Qian Yongqiang walked to the kitchen, grabbed his mother's arm and walked out.

Qian Yongqiang's father was drinking, and when he saw this scene, his face was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything.

When Qian Yongqiang's mother just sat down on the table and didn't have time to pick up the dishes and chopsticks, Qian Yongqiang's father couldn't hold back anymore. He poured the wine glass heavily on the table, and Qian Yongqiang and Li Qiming were startled. Qian Yongqiang's mother stood up immediately, looked at Qian Yongqiang's father tremblingly, and tried her best to squeeze out a flattering smile on her face.

"Don't you see any guests in the house?" Qian Yongqiang's father scolded Qian Yongqiang's mother, "What kind of table are you on from a girl's house!" There are no rules! ”

Qian Yongqiang's mother stood cowardly, rubbing the placket of her clothes with her two hands, looking at her husband's vicious face, at a loss.

"Uncle, I'm not a guest!" Li Qiming stood up, helped Qian Yongqiang's mother, and asked her to sit down. Qian Yongqiang's mother pushed Li Qiming's hand away and slowly walked out the door.

"What bullshit rules!" Qian Yongqiang saw his mother's aggrieved appearance, and he couldn't help but be full of anger, he shouted at his father, "My mother hasn't suffered anything for this family?" What sin has not been suffered? These inhuman rules are long overdue! ”

"Change?" Qian Yongqiang's father said, "This is a rule handed down from the ancestors, and it has always been like this, which family in our village is not like this?" If you say change it, change it! ”

"What age is it now? And such backward rules! Qian Yongqiang said to his mother, "Mom, don't go!" ”

Qian Yongqiang's mother sobbed quietly, but she didn't answer, she walked into the kitchen, filled a bowl of white rice, and ate it by herself.

"I'm going to eat in the kitchen, too!" Qian Yongqiang glanced at his father, picked up the bowl and left.

"Uncle, it's wrong for you to do this!" Li Qiming said, "Your son hasn't been home for several years, and when he comes back today, the whole family should gather together and be happy!" ”

"Hmph, the family lives against me, and they don't take me, the head of the family, seriously!" Qian Yongqiang's father said, "The crooked tendencies of this family have to be sorted out well, otherwise it will be reversed sooner or later!" ”

"Uncle," Li Qiming said, "your son came back this time to build a house for you, if he gets angry and leaves tomorrow, will you have enough money to build a house?" ”

"Go, go, call them both back," said Qian Yongqiang's father, "What is it for a big man to eat in the kitchen?" I think he's a worthless thing sooner or later! ”

"What about Auntie?"

"Come back." Qian Yongqiang's father said, "Since the times have changed, this rule has changed!" ”

Li Qiming went to call Qian Yongqiang's mother and son, and he vaguely heard Qian Yongqiang's father talking to himself: "Now the rich man is the master!" ”

Qian Yongqiang and Li Qiming helped Qian Yongqiang's mother into the hall and sat down at the dinner table.

"Son," Qian Yongqiang's father said, "how much money did you bring with you this time?" I told you on the phone a long time ago that the neighbors have built new houses, and if our family doesn't build a house, the villagers will secretly laugh at our family! ”

"How much does it cost to build a house?" Qian Yongqiang asked while picking vegetables for his mother.

"Whatever, I have to get twenty or thirty thousand yuan!" Qian Yongqiang's father said lightly.

"Why do you need so much money?" Qian Yongqiang was stunned, "Didn't you say more than 10,000 yuan when you called, and less than 20,000 yuan is fine?" Why did you get an extra 10,000 yuan? ”

"That was last year's price, and now it's all going up – because there are so many people building houses now!"

"Oh, that's right," Qian Yongqiang thought that he could still get this money, and it was a big deal to run it up, and he would go back and earn it again.

"Ready?" Qian Yongqiang's father asked his son.

"Almost," Qian Yongqiang said, "I came back with more than 20,000 yuan." I thought that after building a house with this money, I would have some leftovers, and then I would buy you some furniture or something! Now it seems that just building a house is not enough! ”

"If you don't cover it early, you drag it back, and now the price of materials has risen, do you regret it?"

"In the past, if you wanted to build it, you had to have money to build it," Qian Yongqiang said, "I can't use my money to do business, what if I don't do business?" ”

"You don't want to go around with me," Qian Yongqiang's father said, "and that's still a little money, what should I do?" Why don't you borrow some from a friend? Just pay them back when you make money from business! ”

"My friend doesn't have a lot of money!" Qian Yongqiang said, "I used to send you money every month, didn't you save it at all?" ”

"With your little money, after buying fertilizers, pesticides, seeds and favors, where is the money left!"

"Favors?" Qian Yongqiang said, "Then there should be a back and forth, and the two can offset each other, so there will be no deficit?" ”

"You have been going to school outside since you were a child, and then you went to the big city to work and do business, and you don't understand the things in the countryside," Qian Yongqiang's father said, "In the countryside, there are many relatives, friends, three aunts and eight aunts, today the son of this family gets married, tomorrow his daughter gets married, and the day after tomorrow their grandson is full moon。。。。。。 You have to pay for gifts! ”

Qian Yongqiang's father said the truth, and Qian Yongqiang listened to it in confusion. Qian Yongqiang's mother later told Qian Yongqiang that during the years he had been away from home, his father had learned to gamble at some point. Most of the money he sent back, as well as the harvest from the fields, was gambled away by him.

"Dad, you said that most of the new houses in the village have been built, and when I came back, I took a brief look, and only a few of them were built, and most of them were still the original old houses." Qian Yongqiang said, "Even the Yongbao family behind our house has not built a new house!" ”

"What are you mentioning his house for?" Qian Yongqiang's father said impatiently, "If you want to build it, you can build it, even if you don't build it, don't pull people!" ”

"Dad, if you want to build a house, you really have to say hello to people." Qian Yongqiang's mother whispered.

"Why did you say hello to his family?" Qian Yongqiang's father asked puzzledly, I didn't build a house and didn't build his family's geography, what does it have to do with his family? Although his house is behind our house, his yard is more than 60 meters long, and my building of a house has no effect on his family at all! - His family won't take the opportunity to make trouble, right? ”

"The two willow trees behind our house were planted by their family," Qian Yongqiang's mother said worriedly, "and his family is not easy to talk to, so I'm afraid it will 。。。。。。 ”

"Those two trees were planted in our field?" Qian Yongqiang said, "This is too deceitful, I'll cut him tomorrow!" ”

"Be quiet!" Qian Yongqiang's father quietly walked to the back wall, his ear against the window, holding his breath, and listening carefully to the movement outside.

After a while, he didn't hear anything unusual, so he slowly walked back to the table and glared at Qian Yongqiang dissatisfied.

"As for it!" Qian Yongqiang looked at his mother, who looked nervous, and asked in a low voice, "Is their family still like that?" ”

"It's more powerful than before you left," Qian Yongqiang's mother said, looking at her son, "Last year, Qian Fugui's family in the south of the village had a conflict with his family because of watering the ground." His father and son each had a straw fork, and they chased after the people of the rich and wealthy family like a vicious spirit. The men of his family chased and beat others, and the women followed behind and scolded—the scolding was ugly! ”
