14. The top pillar collapsed on the bed
After eating, Jia Hongyue went back to the house to deliver food to the man, and Xiao Zhengping followed closely with two gifts, saying that he was going to visit his cousin.
Jia Hongyue left, and the work of washing the dishes and pots was naturally done by the aunt, Xiao Xiuye hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and cheered up the aunt.
The aunt pushed a few times, and suddenly focused on Xiuye's clothes, she pulled Xiuye around, and said with a smile: "Oh, our Ye'er is well-behaved (beautiful), look at it, where is this peasant girl, why do I look better than the people in the city!" ”
It is famous for the aunt to quarrel in the team, but it is difficult for ordinary people to bear to praise people, where did the young Xiao Xiuye receive such flattery, and immediately blushed, eager to bury her head in the collar.
After that, the aunt didn't push it anymore, and was close to Xiuye, busy in the pot.
"Ye'er," the aunt looked around, and when she saw that there was no one else in the room, she asked quietly, "Your brother~~ Is it really the money earned from selling mushrooms?" ”
"Hmm!" Hideba nodded.
"Ye'er, don't be deceived by him, didn't he win it by sneaking up on the table, right?"
Xiuye laughed out loud, "Auntie, don't worry, my brother hasn't left the mud in the past two days, and every day he comes back, he is gray-headed and dirty, and his body is still stinky, who do you say will be like that on the table?" What I saw with my own eyes yesterday, those sheep and finches and bamboo girls, are really valuable. ”
Auntie sighed, "Hey, it would be nice if this was the case, in fact, I don't care about your brother for a long time, I'm just worried about you, how much you said you suffered~~If this is~~"
As she spoke, the aunt choked her throat and stopped talking.
Xiuye also wet the corners of her eyes, she leaned her head on her aunt's face, and rubbed it gently, "Auntie, don't worry, I think my brother has really changed for the better this time, yesterday I told him that I was going to study secondary school, and he also gave me a beating!" My brother said that in the future, I would not care about anything, just concentrate on studying, and said that he would provide me with as much study as I could. ”
Not only in the stove room, but also the second aunt who returned to the backyard also had a lot of complaints.
"Uncle him, do you say that the third kid is telling the truth? Why didn't I know that mushrooms could be sold for so much money? Haven't you heard of it yet? ”
The uncle held the cigarette pouch and pot in his mouth, and did not stop what he was doing, "To be honest, I'm too lazy to worry about it, as long as he can manage Ye'er well, he can do whatever he wants." Hey, we're old and don't have the strength to toss, if the third child is to blame, let him blame it. ”
The second uncle, Xiao Kunshui, didn't think so, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Kunguo, "Boss, don't you feel that Pingzi has changed?" ”
Xiao Kunguo replied, "What? Becoming profitable? ”
"It's not! Look at his attitude towards Ye'er, and his attitude towards talking to you, by the way, he is still thinking about my family's text when he buys things today, this has to be put on hold as usual, when did you hear him talk about the text? ”
The second aunt glared at the uncle, "Two bottles of wine and two cans will send you away, so you can do this?" I think he's poor, and he says it's selling fungi to make money, but in fact, he may be doing something shady outside! ”
The second uncle did not show weakness, and glared back at the second aunt, "Why is your brain so dirty!" Can you hope for something? Pingzi just gave Zhengwen'er an idea, why didn't I see you stop it! As he spoke, he looked at his eldest brother again, "Anyway, I think Pingzi has changed." ”
------
The door of the second uncle's house, Xiao Zhengping has not been on it for two or three years, he used to be skinny, and when he was desperate, he dared to go to the uncle, but the second uncle, he didn't dare, and he couldn't.
People, the most feared thing is to hurt the people closest to you!
Xiao Zhengwen stared at the spider web hanging from the beam of the house with a blank look in his eyes, the spider that was about to catch up with the size of his thumb cover was something he watched grow up little by little, for several months, this spider would stay quietly in the web every day, and only move when it caught insects. But today, I don't know what's wrong, he found that the spider was gone from the moment he opened his eyes, and he hasn't come back until now.
In the past, Xiao Zhengwen also thought about seeking death, and he had asked Hongyue to get him some dichlorvos more than once. But now, he doesn't think so, if he continues to suffer and make his family feel better, then go on like this! Anyway, there's only so much I can do for this family.
There was the amusing voice of Hongyue and his son Xiao Liangqiang outside, Xiao Zhengwen frowned when he heard it, and closed his eyes - like Xiao Zhengping, Xiao Zhengwen also has the people he least wants to see: daughter-in-law and son.
"Brother!" Before entering the door, Xiao Zhengping shouted outside the door, and suddenly Xiao Zhengwen opened the eyes that he had just closed.
Xiao Zhengwen hadn't heard this voice for several years, and he even needed to brush it in his head to remember who the owner of the voice was.
Because Xiao Zhengwen was eating and drinking in bed, it was inevitable that there would be a smell in the house, Xiao Zhengping pretended not to smell it, and walked in behind his sister-in-law.
"Brother, okay, I'll come and see you." Xiao Zhengping put the things in his hand on the table at the head of Xiao Zhengwen's bed, and then glanced at the paralyzed brother on the bed.
This glance shocked Xiao Zhengping, not because of Xiao Zhengwen's chicken-like hair and sour-smelling bedding, but because of Xiao Zhengwen's dead dog-like spiritual head. Although Xiao Zhengwen had tried hard to put on a smiling face, the empty and desperate eyes still betrayed him.
"Pingzi," Xiao Zhengwen sat up with his body propped up, and Jia Hongyue saw this and hurriedly stuffed a bed of rotten cotton wool behind him, "I haven't come for a day." ”
As she spoke, Jia Hongyue handed over the food she brought, and Xiao Zhengwen took it and put it on the table, "It's rare for Pingzi to come back, I'll talk to him for a while." ”
Jia Hongyue didn't make a sound, and after tidying up the cotton wool for Xiao Zhengwen a little, she took her son out.
"Brother, I'm really sorry, I haven't come to see you."
"Hehe, what's so nice about me as a paralyzed person, I'll see the outside when I say this!"
"Hey, it's not easy for my sister-in-law, you look like this, she still has to pull strong."
The brothers spoke, straight to the point, Xiao Zhengwen felt that Xiao Zhengping didn't open any pot at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved. For a long time, the family kept a lot of secrets about the fact that they were paralyzed, and they felt offended even if they said the word "lame". But how do they know that the last thing they want to see is their guilty look, as if they have done something sorry for themselves.
"It's not easy, I persuaded her to remarry a long time ago, you said that following me, a waste person, won't she be ruined for the rest of her life!" The brothers went straight to the point, and Xiao Zhengwen had nothing to say.
Xiao Zhengping smiled, "Brother, I see that my sister-in-law has recognized you, and I guess you can't get rid of her." ”
"It's hard to say, now Qiangqiang is still young, and when Qiangqiang is going to school, she will know that she is embarrassed. At that time, I don't think I need to rush, she will have to leave by herself. ”
"No, brother, do you really want your sister-in-law to go?"
"If you don't follow me, what can you do?"
"There's a lot of work you can do, it's up to you whether you want to do it or not. Brother, you are the pillar of the family, you can't really lie down for a lifetime, right? ”
Xiao Zhengwen glanced at Xiao Zhengping, "The pillar of the fart, have you ever seen the pillar of the top pillar paralyzed on the bed?" ”
"Why isn't it a pillar?" Xiao Zhengping patted his chest and shouted, "The grandfather of our Xiao family is paralyzed on the bed, and that is also the pillar." ”
Saying that, Xiao Zhengping told Xiao Zhengwen about his previous thoughts at the uncle's house, Xiao Zhengwen thought about it after listening to it, and said: "This thing is okay, but I don't know if I make baskets and sell them, what can I do with that little money?" ”
"It's better to sell it first than to lie down and wait for death all day long! Brother, let me tell you, a lot of things are being let go now, and in the future, you will just lie in bed, and you can make a lot of money just by using your brain. ”
Xiao Zhengping's words were too straightforward, Xiao Zhengwen sounded a little harsh, and he felt a little confused. However, it was such a straightforward statement that seemed to open the door of his heart that he had forcibly hidden.
"Make money with your brains?" After Xiao Zhengping left, Xiao Zhengwen leaned on the cotton wool and thought about what he had just said, and when he raised his eyes, he found that the disappeared spider was weaving a new and large web in another corner.
Just thinking about her thoughts, Jia Hongyue walked in.
"What do you think, eat quickly, or you'll get cold."
Xiao Zhengwen picked up the dishes and chopsticks in hindsight, and after taking a bite of food, he asked his daughter-in-law: "Yue'er, didn't my mother always say that Pingzi doesn't do anything outside?" Why don't you look like it today? ”
"I don't know, but everyone in the team said that Pingzi made a lot of money, and today I paid back the money I borrowed from my father a while ago."
"Our mother, everything is fine, but her mouth is too broken, and we can only believe half of what she says in the future." After a few bites of rice, Xiao Zhengwen seemed to think of something, "Daughter-in-law, you give me a hot basin of water, and then bring the scissors." ”
Jia Hongyue wondered, "What do you want scissors for?" ”
"Hey, I'll get my hair cut, by the way, I'll go to the team headquarters one day and bring back some newspapers they don't want."
Looking at the man who looked like he had changed his mental head, Jia Hongyue's nose was sour, she nodded vigorously, and replied loudly: "Okay!" I'll get it for you every few days. ”
