On Xu Qingmu's side, the family was satisfied and happily prepared to sleep, but on the other side of the old house, no one could sleep at all.

It all starts with eating.

Because Old Man Xu can't cook, he eats with the eldest family, as well as Xu Guanghua in the fourth room.

Uncle Xu and Uncle Xu didn't want to take care of the child, but Xu Guanghua promised the two of them that they would work hard and earn more work, so they agreed that Xu Guanghua would live with their big house.

Despite this, Xu Guanghua's life in Dafang is the difference between heaven and earth compared with before.

When he didn't split up before, he didn't have to do anything, a half-grown boy, every day when he opened his eyes, he was either thinking about what to eat or what to play today, he had never been on the ground, and he had never even done the easiest work of beating pigweed.

Later, when the family was separated, he and his eldest brother were required to work in the field, but because the eldest brother was on top, his father was not so strict with him, and he was lazy when he worked.

Later, his father was arrested, and he began to be lazy openly, and he didn't even go to work, and his mother didn't have time to care about him, so he was very free for a few days.

Later, his mother went back to her parents' house to remarry, and he was the only one left in the fourth room, and after he lived with the big house, the situation changed dramatically.

He can no longer eat, drink and play every day.

Every day before dawn, I have to get up to work, carry water, sweep the floor, wash clothes, light a fire and cook, and nothing I can't help but do.

Of course, there is a difference between men and women, and in order not to fall into the tongue, Aunt Xu is still a little sensible, and she is not so confused that she asked him to wash the clothes of the whole family, only let him wash the clothes of the men in the family.

When it's time to go to work, he has to go down to work with him, and if he earns less work, then don't think about eating today's meal, and be hungry.

After several times, Xu Guanghua had to work honestly and earn eight points a day.

This is also what Uncle Xu set for him.

It doesn't make sense that a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old guy can't earn eight jobs, and if he can't earn it, he must be lazy.

If you're lazy, don't eat at all!

In a short period of time, Xu Guanghua has lost a lot of weight.

Regarding what happened to Xu Guanghua, his grandson in the big house, Old Man Xu saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't mean to stand up for him at all.

Xu Guanghua also pinned his hopes on Old Man Xu's grandfather from the beginning, to the gradual disappointment later, and then to the current resentment.

resented Old Man Xu, the grandfather, for not helping him, and also resented the people in the big house for treating him badly, and even resented the three-room family.

He always remembered the words of his mother-in-law Ma Dahua, if Xu Qingmu hadn't refused to help, his family would not have become what it is now.

Even the people in the second room he hated together.

He felt that the two rooms were so next to each other, what kind of life did he live, and the people in the second room were not blind, how could they not see?

But Xu Qingyun, the second uncle, saw him suffer with his own eyes, and he didn't say anything to help, so he hated him along with the people in the second room.

It was also the experience during this time that he grew a lot, even if he was resentful in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, and only hid it silently in his heart.

When eating in the evening, Xu Guanghua held the rice bowl, squatted by the door, and silently pulled the very rough sorghum porridge in the bowl into his mouth.

To be precise, pour it into your mouth.

Because she doesn't go to work now, Uncle Xu said that she doesn't need to work hard and doesn't need to eat so much, so the coarsest sorghum porridge has more water and less porridge in it.

This kind of porridge is only eaten by Aunt Xu, Old Man Xu, Xu Guangming and Xu Guanghua in the big house.

Most of the water in the pot is in Xu Guanghua's bowl.

Xu Guanghua was putting the last sorghum rice in the bowl into his mouth, when he heard his grandfather say at the dinner table, "I'm getting married." ”

"What?"

Accompanied by an exclamation, there was also the sound of porcelain and the table colliding, which was the sound of Uncle Xu and the coarse porcelain bowl in their hands falling on the dining table.

A large group of people, after hearing the news, looked at Old Man Xu in disbelief.

Only Xu Guanghua, who was at the door, just glanced at Old Man Xu in surprise, and then continued to fight with the last few sorghum rice in the bowl.

As if he was an outsider, no matter what the people behind him did, it had nothing to do with him.

Uncle Xu suspected that he had misheard, and opened his mouth again to confirm, "Dad, what did you just say?" You're getting married? Dad, you're not confused, are you? ”

In fact, Old Man Xu said that sentence just now, and he had also done a long ideological struggle.

After he and Niu Xiaolian wanted to see each other again, the situation of the year reappeared, and his heart, which had been silent for many years, beat violently again.

After the two exchanged heartfelt complaints, he said that he wanted to marry her.

Niu Xiaolian didn't say yes, but looking at the other party's expression, Old Man Xu felt that she should be happy.

Old man Xu felt that he couldn't let Niu Xiaolian wait for a long time, so he reluctantly said goodbye to Niu Xiaolian and went home.

The moment he stepped through the door, his feverish head immediately cooled.

Thinking of the reaction of the two sons in the family after hearing the news, he hesitated.

After such a hesitation, it was time for dinner.

It wasn't until dinner was almost full that he built his heart to be done, and then he mustered up the courage to say that.

After saying the first sentence, the uncomfortable and embarrassed in Old Man Xu's heart was completely gone.

Seeing that his eldest son's eyes were about to fall, a wave of anger suddenly appeared in his heart, "What do you mean by that?" Can't I get married again? ”

Uncle Xu was really shocked this time, he almost couldn't find his voice, "No, Dad, you're old, what are you still married?" ”

Old man Xu: "What do you mean by this?" Your father is alone now, can't I get married again? I'm not like your fourth brother who broke his shoes, I'm looking for a wife seriously. ”

"But...... My mother has only been gone for less than a month! ”

"So what? Your mother is gone, do you want me to live alone? ”

Uncle Xu retorted, "Dad, why are you alone?" Aren't we your family? ”

Uncle Xu was very dissatisfied.

What does this mean, old man? Do you feel unhappy living with their family? Or do you feel like they can't eat their food?

But who in this brigade is not like this?

Xu Qingmu's family has good food, but people don't want to support you as a father.

Old man Xu: "How can this be the same?" ”

Uncle Xu put down the chopsticks in her hand and didn't even eat, "Dad, why is this different?" You're so old, and you're going to get married again, and people don't know how to laugh at our family? ”

"Anyway, I don't think it's right."

Aunt Xu hugged her arms and looked disagree.

Uncle Xu also said: "Dad, this thing is really not good, you better dispel this idea." ”
