The old man lives in a township north of Guzhen, is now in his seventies, and on weekdays he relies on 30 acres of land to feed himself.

The two sons used to be the pride of the old man, because there was hope for succession, but now the two sons made the old man miserable. After the eldest son got married, he went out to work with his wife, and left the two tiger-headed children to the old man, ignoring them on weekdays, as if he had never given birth to a child. Although the couple make good money in the field, they spend more money, full of daylight, moonlight, and yearlight, and at the end of the year, the old man has to pay the fare in advance to return to his hometown for a "family reunion"; In the same way, the younger son followed his brother's example, and also handed over his two male babies to the old man without paying a penny. At the end of the year, the old man also had to "reimburse" the travel expenses of his younger son and daughter-in-law.

In his words, after drinking a little wine and lying down for a while, the uncomfortable pain of the back and legs can be relieved a lot, like self-anesthesia, even if the children howl and can't hear the sound, when they are clean, they are not so annoying and bad.

There is no worst in life, only worse. The eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law quickly divorced without warning, and two more chubby male babies were added at the beginning and end of the year. After that, the couple left Guzhen and went to bustling Shanghai. In the past three years, the old man has bought three Spring Festival train tickets between Guzhen and Shanghai for the couple.

Unable to do it, in fact, it is impossible to describe the current state of the old man, thirty acres of crops, casually planted, harvested casually, the old man is tired, the wife is also tired, eating, drinking, Lasa sleeping, everything is not important, so that the child eats and drinks, eating and drinking, it doesn't matter if you don't eat or drink, the children wash their hair and feet, take a bath and change clothes, wash it, don't wash it, just feed it like a little livestock and a cub, that's it, just get by.

The old man went to pick up the children from school and watched the children climb into the tricycle, and the old man instinctively twisted the car keys. The children are yelling to eat sugar gourds, and if they don't buy it, they wipe their noses and cry tears. Six sugar gourds were handed to the children, and they finally got home before dark, only to find that there were only five children in the carriage. After asking, the eldest child licked the slender bamboo skewers, "When you bought the sugar gourd, he got off!" ”

Turning around the car and rushing to school immediately, it was too late to pick up the child. I wanted to drink some porridge and go straight to sleep, but my wife anxiously told him that the youngest child had a high fever, and the old couple didn't dare to go to the hospital without stopping for a while. After hanging the drip, it was close to the early hours of the morning, and the old couple was extremely tired, and it was easy to put the youngest child to sleep. The children in the family have already staggered, slept until they were in one piece, and even wore clothes and shoes into the nest.

I don't care about a lot, and that's how life is.

"It's good when the child is older, and it's good when the child is older."

He had heard this more than 30 years ago, maybe the children in front of him would be better when they were older, who knows? Does life weave one beautiful dream after another to comfort yourself? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, the old man can't be sure.

The rapid ringing of the phone pulled the old man back from the dream to reality, "Dad, I want a divorce, this woman is not as good as the previous woman!" It's a departure this time! ……”

The old man was placed far away from the bed, and he couldn't hear a word in the earpiece. I don't know how long it took, the old man fell asleep and woke up slowly, he gritted his teeth at the noisy mobile phone, and exhaled lightly: "I said son, it doesn't matter if you get married or divorced, just don't have any more children, you are my good son!" Hahaha! ”
