Volume 1: Unspeakable Absurdity Chapter 9: Ordinary People's Homes

When Tiemin woke up, he saw Shengzi shirtless, sitting under the covers, gesturing at him.

Ikuko found that Tetsumin had opened his eyes, and he was about to run away as soon as he got up.

Tie Min knows that this is the ability to give birth to children.

Knowing that he couldn't beat him, he was unwilling to be bullied by him, so while he was sleeping, he made a few gestures, and he should find psychological balance for himself.

Tiemin ignored the birth of a child and closed his eyes again.

When the son sees it, he will accept it, for fear that if he makes a few more strokes, he will be seen by his brother, and he will at least be able to take a kick.

"It's time to eat." Aunt Zhou's shouting came from outside the house.

Tiemin got up and got dressed, and came to the outer room, where the kang table was already set.

Aunt Zhou brought a large pot of risotto.

It was the sorghum rice made at noon yesterday, plus the rice made by Shengzi last night, poured into the vegetable pot in one go, added some water, sprinkled with some salty salt, and set up a fire. Before leaving the pot, put some MSG, and breakfast is done.

Aunt Zhou is in charge of serving the rice.

She first filled a large bowl of risotto for Tiemin, and then served more than half a bowl of rice to Shengzi and Yanzi respectively, and the rest of the rice, she scratched with a spoon and put it into her rice bowl, and did not forget to repeat that sentence, she nagged for more than ten years of family motto: "I'd rather support the dead than occupy the basin." ”

A family of four gathered around the small kang table and stuffed rice into their mouths.

Aunt Zhou eats the slowest.

She couldn't stop scanning the rice bowls of the three children, and when she saw that Shengzi didn't use a few mouthfuls, she stuffed the rice in the bowl into her mouth, so she sent her own rice bowl over, and used chopsticks to give some of the rice in the bowl to Shengzi, and then asked Yanzi: "Are you enough?" ”

"That's enough." Yanzi eats a small amount of food, and the meal is slow.

"Don't be late for school, you Salem." Aunt Zhou urged Yanzi to speed up her meal, and then she took a big bite to eat.

This kind of eating scene has long been accustomed to in the Zhou family.

In the early years, the living conditions at home were not good, the food was not oily and watery, and although the children were small, they had a lot of food. Aunt Zhou has to eat last at every meal, for fear that any child will not be able to eat enough and delay her long body.

This is also the most unaccustomed thing to having a child.

Tetsumin is the eldest in the family and receives special treatment at every meal.

When my mother steamed the nest head, she always deliberately gave the nest head to my father and brother, and the eyes were very small. From the outside, the head of the nest is generally large, but as soon as it is broken, the head of the father and brother's nest is very thick, and he and Yanzi are very thin in comparison.

This habit has been passed down to this day, and even if he complains, he does not dare to speak out publicly. If he wants to find psychological balance, he has to speed up his meal, so that his mother can see that he is not full, and he can get the opportunity to add food.

After the family finished eating, they threw their rice bowls on the kang table. Shengzi and Yanzi went to school with their schoolbags on their backs, and Aunt Zhou took a bottle of liquor, filled a bottle of cold boiled water, and kept it for drinking when she was thirsty during the day, and was ready to go to work.

The son walked out of the house, turned back again, and asked his mother, "Does Daddy still use me to take care of him?" ”

"Pull it down." Aunt Zhou refused to give birth to a child, and did not forget to explain the reason: "Why are you going to take care of your father, the whole thing is in trouble, hurry up and go to school." ”

gave birth to a stalk in the neck, and said unconvinced: "If you change someone else, it's no better." ”

When Shengzi said this, he deliberately glanced at Tiemin.

Tiemin has something on his mind, and he doesn't bother to worry about these things with his son. He put away the dishes and chopsticks, took them to the kitchen to clean, and when his mother left the house, he remembered that he had forgotten an important matter.

He had the heart to chase him out of the house and make it clear to his mother. After thinking about it again, Mom's answer was already in his heart, and he didn't bother to bother with Mom anymore.

Tetsumin regretted his impulsiveness last night.

He shouldn't have thrown the fifteen dollars to his mother, and he even took the twenty dollars back with his mother.

From the day Tiemin joined the work, his father set the rules for him. Pay ten yuan a month for food at home, and the rest of the salary income is saved by Tiemin himself.

When Tiemin got married, the family was only responsible for leaving the house, holding a banquet, and giving the daughter-in-law a bride price. Other wedding expenses, including the purchase of furniture, bedding and other daily utensils, are all borne by Tiemin himself.

This is not Zhou Zhiqiang's initiative, other families are like this.

Some families deliberately raise the cost of food to more than half of their children's salary, in order to save money for their children, marry a daughter-in-law or buy a dowry.

Zhou Zhiqiang feels more open-minded and gives Tiemin full economic freedom. To put it bluntly, he understands his eldest son's living habits, and basically breaks a penny in half and spends it.

What's more, Tie Min is also in charge of the family's daily expenses, and from time to time he also spends his own money on the family. changed to have a son, Zhou Zhiqiang was not so open.

Aunt Zhou's decision to Zhou Zhiqiang was a hundred objections, and she had more than one time to talk to the boss behind her back.

Tie Min is a shunting chief, working to earn piecework, he can drive forty or fifty yuan a month, more than a dozen yuan more than his father's income, he should pay all his salary, a lot of money, to the family.

And for good reason.

Tie Min is in charge of the family's daily expenses, which is equivalent to holding his parents' money in his own hands.

On the surface, he gave ten yuan to his family every month, but in fact, as long as he moved his heart a little, he could earn the ten yuan back, which was unfair to Shengzi and Yanzi.

It's a pity, Zhou Zhiqiang is used to saying a word at home, no matter how Aunt Zhou blows the pillow wind, he advertises that his spit is a nail, the roots of the tree do not move, and Aunt Zhou's treetops are shaking in white.

Once Tie Min mentions money to Aunt Zhou, he will definitely get angry.

obviously said that he would pay Wang Li's mother fifty yuan, but Tie Min didn't pay attention and took advantage of his mother.

Aunt Zhou not only didn't even pay 20 yuan, but also abducted the 15 yuan handed over by Tie Min, and she didn't mention it.

It is said that it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and Tie Min, the unjust boss, is holding his breath and bringing fire.

The most effective solution is to endure.

Tiemin cleaned up and rode his bicycle to Wang Li's house.

Xie Guizhi was moving things to the sales truck, when she heard a knock on the door, knowing that it was Tie Min coming, she pretended to be deaf and dumb and ignored it.

"Mom, you didn't hear anyone knock on the door." Wang Li came out of the house in her pajamas and openly expressed her dissatisfaction with her mother.

"You go back to the house." Xie Guizhi said this, and did not stop Wang Li from opening the door for Tiemin.

Tie Min walked into the yard and saw that Xie Guizhi had already moved all his things, he set up his bicycle and was about to push the sales truck outside.

"Tiemin, didn't I tell you, don't come to Wang Li again." Xie Guizhi straightened his face, stopped the sales truck and said, "You two are impossible at all, why bother to practice yourself." ”

"Mom, I'm not here to find Xiaoli, I'm here to send you out of the stall." Tie Min replied simply, Xie Guizhi didn't react, so much so that Wang Li was amused.

She dragged her mother, asked Tiemin to push the car out of the courtyard, and whispered, "You are really willing not to want this eldest son." ”

"I can't help it." Xie Guizhi said what was in his heart.

"Forget it, what's the matter, don't worry about it." Wang Li accompanied the smiling face and sent her mother out of the hospital.

"You're going to be stupid, sooner or later, it's too late to regret it when you know." Xie Guizhi sighed and left.

In the past, Tiemin sent Xie Guizhi out of the stall, and he pushed the cart in front, and Xie Guizhi followed aside. Along the way, the mother and son found some inconsequential homely words and chatted all the way to the market.

Today is different, Tie Min's cart is in front, Xie Guizhi is far behind, she has a sad face all the way, and she doesn't know what to say to Tie Min.

Tie Min stopped the car, waited for Xie Guizhi to come up, and whispered, "I almost broke my son's wrist last night. ”

Xie Guizhi's eyes widened as he looked at Tie Min.

"He knew he was wrong, and said that he would come home another day and apologize to you." Tie Min looked at Xie Guizhi with a smile.

"I don't need to." Xie Guizhi still said with a straight face: "If you want me to say, you two have a long pain is better than a short pain, break up as soon as possible." ”

"Mom, I will never leave Xiaoli in my life." Tie Min made a promise and said: "When my father recovers from his illness, I will go to register my marriage with Xiaoli." ”

Xie Guizhi was surprised again, she wanted to say something coldly, but unfortunately the words came to her mouth and were swallowed by her again.

Tie Min sent Xie Guizhi to the market, turned around and left.

"Tiemin, why are you going?" Xie Guizhi became alert.

"I'll accompany Xiaoli to the city to load the goods." Tiemin said.

"No need." Xie Guizhi stopped Tie Min's way and said, "I have already told the wholesalers yesterday, starting today, they will be responsible for delivering the goods to the door, you should go home quickly." ”

"My bike is still at your house." Tie Min laughed, bypassed Xie Guizhi, and walked away.

"What a hell of a thing." Xie Guizhi didn't know where to get a fairy spirit, and she began to worry about her daughter.

Tiemin and Wang Li have been dating for more than two years, Xie Guizhi has never been worried about this, and today I don't know why, she began to worry.

Tie Min returned to Wang Li's house, Wang Li had already folded the quilt and was grooming and dressing.

Tie Min walked into the courtyard, locked the courtyard door first, then walked into the house, plugged the door again, and ran directly to Wang Li.

"What are you going to do?"

Wang Li saw Tie Min's thoughts, and she stared at her first, thinking that this would deter Tie Min's impulse.

Tie Min smiled and didn't answer, he picked up Wang Li and began to warm up.

No matter how Wang Li pretended to be angry, she couldn't match Tiemin's physical strength, and the two tore a few times on the kang, but they still let Tiemin get his wish.

The end of the song.

Tie Min hugged Wang Li and whispered: "I think about it, after my father is discharged from the hospital, I will go to the unit to open a letter of introduction, and then steal out the household registration book at home, let's get the marriage certificate first." ”

"You're not afraid that your father will get sick again." Wang Li lay in Tiemin's arms, very happy.

"I have a way to make sure he doesn't get sick." Tie Min is full of confidence, no matter how Wang Li asks, he just doesn't say what can be done to make Zhou Lao, who is famous in the town, change his mind.

At that time, there was a saying in the railway system that it was called to get on the train first and buy a ticket later. Translated into a well-known phrase, it is: make raw rice into mature rice.

Tie Min is such a person, he knows it in his heart, and he is too lazy to say it.

Wang Li knew Tiemin's character, and if he didn't want to say anything, no one could do anything about him.

Back then, Liu Shoucheng shouted slogans and asked Tiemin to teach Zhou Lao a lesson. He used all the stick stew, and as a result, he was almost kicked into a eunuch by Tiemin.

When Wang Li thought of this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Liu Shoucheng sees you now, so he has to hide from you." ”

"He's in a ward with my dad right now." Tie Min only talked to Wang Lixian and mentioned the encounter with Liu Shoucheng's ward. also emphasized that on the first day of Liu Shoucheng's hospitalization, his daughter Liu Dongmei helped her father with feces and urine.

"He's going to have some bad water again." Wang Li became alert.

"I'm wondering too." Tie Min was reminded by Wang Li, and he also had doubts.

Those who know Liu Shoucheng know that he is a person who pees on his back and likes to turn it in (water).

When Tiemin had an accident, Dong Zhensheng, director of the operation workshop, came forward to guarantee Tiemin, but Liu Shoucheng ignored it. Tie Min almost delayed the recruitment exam for this matter,

This is what happened two years ago, and now, why is he going to tie up Zhou Zhiqiang again.
