Chapter 16 Painful Change
Liu Dahu didn't sleep well at night, and he had nightmares all night, in which he was paralyzed in bed and then thrown on the street by his brothers and parents.
In short, this story completely made it difficult for Liu Dahu to sleep.
Even if Liu Dahu is a kind person again, after hearing about it, he will leave a deep impression in his mind.
That's what Yao Yiyi wants.
When people look at themselves, they can never see the crux of the problem, and they don't always say that the bystanders are clear.
When it comes to someone else's problem, he immediately becomes a think tank.
Liu Dahu's sobriety in the world at this moment is that he feels the sense of distress from the perspective of a bystander.
Especially when he arrived in the workshop, his appearance of the sky falling attracted jokes from several apprentices.
After listening to this story, under the gossip of several apprentices, Liu Dahu felt that some things that he couldn't figure out before seemed to be possible in front of him in an instant.
Liu Dahu was even more worried, he kept speculating in his heart whether his parents and brother would be like that poor man to him.
He didn't want to end up like this one day.
It is very rare that when he paid his salary today, he didn't send the money back to his hometown as soon as possible.
Standing at the post office and hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't write the remittance slip after all.
Liu Dahu returned home, only to see his son and daughter all depressed at home.
"What's wrong with you? Isn't it supposed to be in school? ”
The four children sighed,
"Dad, don't say it, the teacher said we don't pay tuition. Let's go home, when we pay our tuition, when we go to school. ”
The school had just resumed classes and the four children finally had a place.
Originally, I expected that they should at least be junior high school and high school graduates, and it will be convenient for them to replace jobs in the future.
But now because he can't pay the tuition, he is kicked out by the teacher.
Liu Dahu's face turned red, and it was not all because he hurriedly took out the salary he had just paid from his pocket, counted out 25 yuan, and stuffed the money into the children's hands.
"Eat at noon, and you will go to school in the afternoon, and pay the tuition and books by the way."
All four children were a little dumbfounded.
They know that their father pays his salary today, but in this family, his father's salary has no impact on the family at all.
It is impossible for my father to take the money home, and the money will be sent to his hometown.
to their grandparents, uncles, aunts.
To say that they did not blame their father is false.
The children have grown so big, and they know better than anyone how the family has lived over the years.
Especially because of this, they are grateful, sympathetic, considerate of their mother, but resentful of their father.
My mother worked hard for this family, breaking a penny in half, reluctant to eat, reluctant to wear, and my mother had not bought new clothes for more than ten years.
It's always been a sewing and mending, and it's just going to be worn all the time.
Originally, my mother was a team leader in the factory, so she shouldn't have been so poor, but all my mother's clothes were patched.
It's not all because of my father.
Unexpectedly, just when they didn't expect it, their father suddenly took out the money, and the four of them had a feeling that the sun was coming out in the west.
"Dad, don't you send money to your grandparents, uncles, and aunts?"
The children were very worried.
It's a bit hot to get this money.
If they just paid the tuition today, and his father changed his mind tomorrow and insisted on getting the money back, it would be even more embarrassing.
"I won't send it for the time being, your aunt, your grandfather, they don't have this little money, they have everything in their hometown, they farm land, grow vegetables, raise chickens, and raise pigs.
If it's not enough, even if you want to buy some other daily necessities. Over the years, I have sent enough. ”
Liu Dahu vaguely felt in his heart that he should have done this a long time ago.
Over the years, he has sent a lot of money to his family, and his eldest son is almost 20.
The four children have grown up so big, he has not spent any money on the children, and even his food and drink depend on his wife.
Even if he is filial to his parents, he has been filial enough in the past 20 years.
In addition to filial piety to parents, you have to support your younger brothers and sisters, what the girl yesterday said was right.
Whoever provides for the elderly is not sent ten yuan or eight yuan, how can there be seventy or eighty yuan a month.
That's not to support his parents, it's to raise a family, his younger brother has long been an adult, and his younger brother's family has three sons who have grown up.
My sister is married, and the five children in the family are older than my own children.
Even if he wants to help his younger brothers and sisters as an eldest brother, these years are enough.
For the rest of the time, he felt that he should give to his children and his wife.
Thinking about what the girl said yesterday, when his last relatives were only his wife and children, he suddenly felt what he had done all these years.
has not taken care of the children, has not supported his wife and children, how can he have the face to drag his wife and children in the end?
Will one day I have to end up alone on the streets?
Liu Dahu was scared, he was really scared.
Now he just wants to make up for it as much as he can, he just wants to protect his family, he must not allow his wife to divorce him, and he can't chill the hearts of the children.
"Dad knows what Dad did wrong before, but Dad will change it in the future, and it will be better for your mother and you, and all the money Dad earns will be spent on our family.
Dad sent 20 years to his grandparents, and the money should be enough. ”
The four children jumped into excitement.
When Wang Yumei returned home, she found that her husband had already cooked.
And there was meat, vegetables, and eggs on the table.
The rich dishes, even if their family can't eat it for the New Year, after all, it is indeed very difficult to feed a family of six with her little salary.
"What's going on? Why did you eat so well today, is something going on? ”
Wang Yumei asked strangely while washing her hands.
My husband seems to be a little mysterious today.
The family sat at the dining table.
Liu Dahu took out the rest of his salary from his pocket and put it in front of his wife.
"I paid 25 yuan to the children today to pay for tuition, and the rest spent 5 yuan to buy these vegetables, meat and so on. The rest is all here, and it's up to you. ”
Wang Yumei looked at the money and looked confused!
"Aren't you going to the post office today to send money? Why didn't you send it? ”
"I thought about it, it's been almost all these years, it's enough, as a big brother, as a son, I've done enough.
The rest of the time is for me to do something for you and the kids, I'm a man, and raising a family should be my business. After so many years, I've worked hard for you. ”
When Wang Yumei heard this, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, her husband had never said such considerate words in all these years.
Seeing his wife's red eyes, Liu Dahu hurriedly handed the handkerchief to his wife.
"I swear that in the future, we will live a good life as a family, and I will never be such a bastard again."
