The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the Xu brothers are reunited.

At less than nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Shi'an and his wife led their son back first, and after a while, Xu Shixian, Xu Shide, and Xu Shixiang entered the door together.

It turned out that Xu Shide took his wife and children to the county last night, lived in Xu Shixian's house, and took a car back from the county this morning.

The car they took happened to pass by Xinglong Commune, and when they arrived in Xinglong, Xu Shixiang and his wife took their daughter to get into the car, and the three families took the car to Songjiang River together, and then went to Donggang.

"Dad, Mom, we're back.

Heck, I was really busy a year ago, and the leaders of the unit held meetings all day long, and I had to find a lot of manuscripts or something.

When I called home that day, I wanted to ask for leave to come back, but the leader just didn't give me leave, there was really no way. Xu Shixin hurriedly explained first.

"Isn't it? The Chinese New Year is approaching, there is a joint security operation in the county, and our commune is also very busy, holding meetings every day. ”

Xu Shixiang was seconded from a civil affairs assistant to a public security assistant, and now he is wearing a uniform, but he is quite energetic.

"Well, our commune is too, year-end summaries, settling accounts, and being busy day by day.

If you don't say that the bowl is controlled by others, it's not false at all.

In the last class, I was dead, and it was hard to do anything I wanted, and the leader on leave did not necessarily approve it. ”

At that end, Xu Shide also looked helpless, he is now seconded to Daying Commune as an accountant and no longer teaches.

As soon as this brother entered the door, he didn't say anything, and explained why he didn't come back before.

When Xu Chenghou heard it, he only snorted and didn't answer.

When Zhou Guilan saw it, she knew that her husband was uncomfortable, so she could only cough softly, and reached out and tugged at Xu Chenghou's clothes.

No matter what, the children are back on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and they just entered the door, don't be too stiff.

"Knowing that you are all busy, having a job is like this, not free. It's okay, come and sit down. ”

Xu Chenghou was still silent, and Zhou Guilan had no choice but to smile and beckon her son and daughter-in-law to come into the house and sit down.

"Hey, what about the third and the sixth? What did you do? Not here, huh? ”

Everyone sat down, only to find that Xu Shiyan and Xu Shiqin were not there.

When they came back at this time in previous years, the third daughter-in-law was busy in the kitchen, why didn't they see anyone today?

"Oh, the sixth went to her master's.

Didn't you go to Han's house yesterday to pay New Year's greetings and stay for dinner? I didn't have time to see her master.

I went to Master Qin's place early this morning to pay a New Year's greeting, and I can come back later. ”

"The three and the two can come in a while, the two of them are serving the four children, busy, I guess they are cleaning up at this time."

Zhou Guilan saw that her husband didn't speak, so she could only speak.

At this point, the Xu Shixian brothers all sensed that something was wrong.

When they came back for the Chinese New Year, their father didn't even have a smiling face, his mother didn't cook in the kitchen, and the little sister and the third family were not there.

It's not right to look at this.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with that?"

Xu Shixian hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.

Xu Chenghou raised his eyelids and glanced at his son, took out the cigarette bag and pot, and knocked twice on the edge of the kang.

"Well, there's something I'm going to tell you."

Nonsense, he deliberately took the old girl away today, and asked Zhao Jianshe to go to the third son's house, blocking the third son and his wife from coming out temporarily, just to settle accounts with these rabbit cubs.

"That, the sixth child went to the provincial capital for treatment, and even the cost of materials, surgery, and medicine were all counted together, and a total of 35,600 yuan was spent.

A few days ago, the unit gave a little medical subsidy, which can be seven or eight hundred yuan.

The rest of the money, you can see how to calculate it. ”

Xu Chenghou didn't care about that, he loaded a bag of cigarettes and lit it, took two puffs, and raised his eyes to look at his four sons.

Originally, the old couple had discussed, and they would pay for their daughter's treatment, and they didn't have to pay for their son.

The sons all have their own families, have their own homes and live their own lives, and it is not easy to give money and food to their parents every month.

The old couple doesn't have much money now, Xu Chenghou can still earn it, and the old couple are also in good shape, so they don't want to add too much trouble to their sons.

The old couple is thinking about their son, but what is the result?

Xu Shiqin came back from the provincial capital for more than 20 days, except for Xu Shi'an's two children who were here on the day he went home, the rest of them were stunned.

Their own sister went out to have surgery for treatment, and when she came back, she called them to tell them, but none of them came back to see.

Xu Chenghou was already angry, but he just kept holding back his anger.

Seeing that the New Year is over, it's not good to make a fuss.

Especially in front of the third and the second, Xu Chenghou can't get angry.

The third couple really has nothing to say to the family, even if Xu Chenghou is muddy, he can tell the good from the bad.

During the Chinese New Year, I didn't want my third son to be too blocked, so I kept holding it back.

At this moment, the old man really couldn't hold it back.

These rabbit cubs, none of them are good, they are all white-eyed wolves.

"Of the more than 3,000 yuan, there is 1,000 that the sixth child saved by himself, and the rest is borrowed by me and your mother outside.

The money from the medical subsidy came back to pay off part of the famine.

The rest, you guys take a look, how to come up with this money, I have to pay it back. ”

Xu Chenghou is old and refined, so he won't say that the money came from him and Xu Shiyan.

If so, the sons would have an excuse.

He only said that he had borrowed it from outside, and that there was a famine, so he would see what his sons said.

"What about the third child, accompanied the sixth child to the provincial capital, busy with the care of the front and back, and the delay was two or three months without making money.

It's not easy for him to do it, he doesn't have a job, he works all day long to earn that few dollars, and he can't make enough money for two or three months.

So, the money won't let him out.

I don't want more than the four of you, but give me 1,600 dollars, and I'll pay back the famine outside." ”

can't let all of them let their sons out, so they have to take a little bit of it.

Xu Chenghou said it well, which directly made his four sons dumbfounded.

Especially Xu Shixian, Xu Shide, and Xu Shixiang, they all discussed together on the phone in advance, and they didn't come back before the year, and they would come back after the year.

I originally thought that the New Year would be lively at home, and my parents would definitely not be able to mention these things.

I didn't think about it, but when I came back today, it was this scene.

"Dad, my little sister went out to heal, we should really do something as brothers."

As soon as Xu Shixian opened his mouth, he felt pain in his lower back, needless to say, his daughter-in-law took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention and secretly pinched his lower back.

"Ahem, that, I was too busy to make time.

This matter has to be the third child, he doesn't go to work, he is freer than us.

No matter what you say, I really have to thank the third child, he carried everything down by himself. ”

Xu Shixian coughed dryly twice, directly changed the topic, and didn't dare to say anything about sharing.

"Old Five, you can say something." Xu Shixian really didn't know what to say, so he turned his head to look at his younger brother.

"Dad, Mom, that little sister's treatment is a serious matter.

But I just bought a house, and I don't have much money. ”

Xu Shixiang saw that the eldest brother kicked the ball at him, he couldn't do it if he didn't express his position, he pondered for a while, and could only say so.
