At that time, in my family, the division of labor was clear and special. The father was only responsible for earning money to support the family. Most of the people are in contact, and the eldest brother comes forward.

Since the eldest brother was in junior high school, he would use the winter and summer vacations to resell some livelihood commodities such as vegetables, eggs, and sauce. Bicycle rides, travel between the countryside and the city, and sell them. Earn the difference in the middle price and subsidize the family.

The eldest brother was among the brothers and sisters at that time, and he was the absolute eldest brother.

After the eldest brother knew my mother's intentions, he took me to carry two catties of eggs prepared in advance and rode to my aunt's house. I sat on the back seat of the 28 bike, and for the first time, I lost my former comfort and comfort, and my heart was full of anxiety.

My aunt warmly received our brother and sister. I was busy pouring water and washing a plate of local specialty apples in Dajiu. The skin of the fruit is green, but the flesh inside is sweet and sour, and the bite is full of relish.

My brother and I were reserved and polite, and I didn't dare to eat a bite. At that time, everyone's life was tight, and the fruit for entertaining guests was really for hospitality. That kind of fruit, wipe the surface of the cleaning residual moisture, can still be stored for a period of time, reserved for the next guest to fill the façade. Generally, except for the guests to eat, most of the family members will not eat. Unless it's a festival, you can make a tooth sacrifice. At present, he has to ask for others, how can he do things abruptly and eat indiscriminately. The children of poor families are in charge of the family at an early age, and that's what it says. Sometimes you don't need to be told a lot of things, and you know how to do it. This is what others think of as the so-called child who is sensible.

After a simple greeting and mutual greetings, the eldest brother explained his intention straightforwardly. Old girl, this year's graduation assignment, assigned to the Commerce and Trade Bureau, the next step is to be assigned to major shopping malls. She studied refrigeration and air conditioning, the current city of the central department store in 94 years of new opening, his home refrigeration and air conditioning equipment of the latest facilities is the most complete, want to go to this store, more heroes are useful, I don't know if my sister-in-law can help. The eldest brother finished speaking in one breath, as if he was afraid that he would lose the courage to continue speaking if he spoke slowly. He rubbed his hands and added dryly: Auntie, we don't know anyone else.

It's okay, when your eldest brother and they come to the house for dinner in the evening, I will ask my eldest daughter-in-law, I don't understand, I really don't know. Don't worry, if you can help, you will definitely be able to help as much as possible. That's a good thing! The eldest foreign girl has graduated and been assigned, and after that, she will go to work to earn money, and she will no longer spend money on studying, so your family can live a faster life. The aunt said with a kind smile on her face.

My eldest brother and I laughed, but no, the hard days finally came to an end, and we saw the light.

The second brother has graduated and is assigned to work in a hospital. He realized his wish to study medicine and take better care of his mother.

After gossiping for a while, time flew by, and our brother and sister drank up the water in the cup one after another, and politely rejected the idea of refilling the water of my aunt. happily waved goodbye to my aunt, and went home happily to listen to the letter.

Mom said that if you do your best in everything, you will work hard until you can't do anything, and you will not regret it in the future. As for the final result, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.

The daily relationship lies in maintenance, don't cramm, use and hand over. To be a man and do things, you can't have shallow eyelids and deep gutters. People should be kind, help when they can help, and accumulate more good fortune.

She said that as the old saying goes, our brother and sister were taught by our mother's words and deeds, and we always did this. Benefit for life!

I still vividly remember that day's dinner, which was the stewed sauerkraut I made, which was particularly sweet, and I also ate half a bowl of sorghum rice rice. After dinner, I shook the fan in the yard, and I was very late to enjoy the coolness, and I was not sleepy at all, maybe there was a reason why I ate too much that night. But it doesn't matter. The family sits in the courtyard and does not need to light the lamp. Looking at the moon, looking at the stars, the evening breeze is coming, and there are not as many mosquitoes as there are now, and they are annoying. On that quiet and peaceful night, the whole family chatted about the day's affairs, and occasionally a sonata of crickets and dried firewood and fine rice sounded.
