When Tian Laofu's wife Wu Yufen died, Tian Xiu and Tian Li were still young, they only knew that their mother was dead, and there was another younger brother in the family.

As they grew up and were able to distinguish between distant and close relatives, they realized that their father was far better to their younger brother than to the two of them.

In times of economic hardship, all the daily necessities at home are basically supplied by tickets. Including vegetable and soy products, they are available in limited quantities.

In Tian Xiu and Tian Li's memories, they can often see their father boiling eggs for their younger brother and buying sausages to eat. It's time for the New Year's holiday, and the meat bought at home is basically when making dumplings, so that the word fairness can be reflected.

Unless the younger brother Zhang Luo wants to eat meat stew, his father can buy a few taels of meat and stew a pot of vegetables.

waited for the dishes to be brought to the table, and before the two sisters could move their chopsticks, the only few taels of meat in the dish were picked by the father into the younger brother's rice bowl.

"Your brother is young, it is the time to grow his body, and he needs nutrition." Tian Laofu always told the sisters that Xiao Hei had never eaten breast milk since he was a child, and his body was too thin and he had to supplement nutrition.

In fact, both sisters knew that this was all an excuse made by their father. said that Xiao Hei is small, and these sisters are not a few years older than Xiao Hei.

Because Xiao Hei is a boy, his father is too partial to him.

The father would rather not eat or drink himself, and also leave fine grains such as rice and white noodles to Xiao Hei to eat, without considering the feelings of the sisters at all.

Didn't you let us eat, then we will eat secretly.

The two sisters caught up with their father when he was not at home at work, so they made a good thing for his younger brother to eat, you take a bite, I take a bite, and at least half of it is eaten secretly, so that Xiaohei can't eat enough and is hungry.

When Xiao Hei is ignorant, he only knows how to cry when he is hungry. When he grew up and figured out that his two sisters were thieves, he complained to his father.

Whenever this happens, Tian Laofu shouts a few times, it is best to be scared, and if he can't be scared, he can only open one eye and close one eye.

is his own flesh and blood, the palms and backs of his hands are all meat, who made him biased towards his son.

In this way, a gap gradually formed between their siblings. Tian Xiu is of the same mind as Tian Li in everything, and the two sisters joined forces to isolate Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei has his father to support him, and in front of his sisters, he imitates his father's style in everything.

After all, the sisters are girls, and they are afraid of being blamed by their father, so every time they make a move, they let Xiao Hei have the upper hand.

When the father came back, the two sisters sued together. Tian Laofu listened to this ear, and the ear came out, and from time to time he pulled the frame and said, "Your brother is young, you just let him order it." ”

Over time, the sisters didn't bother to see Xiao Hei anymore. Xiao Hei is at home, and he has also developed the habit of saying one thing or another.

He can be called a dragon at home, and when he walks out of the house and is with other children, he is simply a worm.

The children in other people's families are angry outside, and they are protected by their brothers and sisters, and Xiao Hei, these two sisters, it is good not to recruit people to bully him.

Today was very unexpected, Xiao Hei was bullied, Tian Li not only helped, but also specially bought him a string of sugar gourds.

If you are courteous to others, you must have something to ask for, not to mention that this matter is also related to Xiao Hei's life.

Tian Li told Xiao Hei that her father was going to find them a stepmother.

She didn't mention who this stepmother was, only emphasizing that once this thing was done, Dad would not spoil Xiaohei like before. If you can't get it right, Dad can't stand the instigation of his stepmother, and he beats and scolds him.

"What should I do?" Xiao Hei was really scared.

Originally, the two sisters didn't want to see him, and his father was abducted by his stepmother again, and he was so pitiful alone.

"You just tell your father that he is not allowed to marry his stepmother." Tian Li recognized Xiao Hei's words, played a pivotal role in front of her father, and instigated Xiao Hei to say: "If Dad dares to marry his stepmother, you will run away from home." ”

"Where am I going?" Little Black believed that it was true.

"You don't have to go anywhere, as long as you say that, you can dispel Dad's thoughts." Tian Li feels very smart about herself, she can kill her father's thoughts with just this trick.

Xiao Hei ate the sugar gourd very seriously, listening to Tian Li's bad ideas for him.

He ate the sugar gourd in his stomach and arrived at the door of his house.

He walked into the house, hung up his school bag, and when he saw his father looking at him with a smile on his face, he almost took him into his arms and kissed him.

He whispered, "Second sister asked me to tell you that you are not allowed to marry your stepmother." ”

Before Tian Laofu could ask why, Xiao Hei poured beans into a bamboo tube and told his father what Tian Li told him, word for word.

Tian Laofu shook this fire, and "Teng" rushed to his head, he called his two daughters in, and scolded him with a scolding face.

Seeing that the two daughters had no remorse, there was extreme disbelief between their eyebrows.

He asked, "Who did you listen to, I want to marry your Aunt Huang." ”

Tian Laofu does not recruit himself.

Xiao Hei didn't know that the person his father was going to marry was Huang Chunlan. Tian Xiu and Tian Li also didn't mention Huang Chunlan's name, Tian Lao was angry and emotional, and gave the answer directly.

Blackie was surprised.

Tian Xiu and Tian Li finally found a reason to vent.

The sisters had a handful of snot and tears. said that Dad did this, I'm sorry Mom, and I'm even more sorry for them, a good family, and I'm going to break up when I say it's going to be scattered.

When Xiao Hei heard that this family was about to break up, he also shed tears.

Tian Laofu was upset by the three sisters and brothers, crying for a while. He waved his hand and said, "It's not like that at all, don't cry for me." ”

To say that these two sisters are not actors, it is really unexpected.

As soon as they heard their father's attitude, they immediately burst into tears and laughed and said, "I know that Dad is reluctant to leave us." ”

That night, Tian Laofu drank half a catty of loose liquor, and then plunged into the kang and fell asleep.

The two Tian Xiu sisters teamed up and successfully stopped their father's non-divisive thoughts, and secretly rejoiced. They know that the tears shed by Xiao Hei at the critical moment are the key to a decisive victory.

Since the day of the fight, the two sisters have changed their exclusion of Xiao Hei and caught up with their father to work the night shift, and the three sisters and brothers talked and laughed at home, not to mention how harmonious they were.

Tian Laofu described his second daughter Tian Li as a waste material who has not achieved enough and has more than enough failures. No matter what good things happen to her, in the end, it will backfire.

Father has already stated that it is impossible to think about Huang Chunlan.

It stands to reason that the two sisters should also accept it when they see it, Tian Li wants to make a brain teaser and remind the eldest sister: "What if Dad lied to us." ”

"Then the police station will sue him." Xiao Hei just said it casually, and then he just said it.

When Tian Li heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "This trick is absolutely good." ”

The three children in this family, the second and third children, made a few ridiculous words, but they couldn't use their brains, but they made Tian Xiu serious.

Tian Xiu must get up at five o'clock every morning to cook, and before half past six, she has to bring breakfast to the table, and the family starts eating.

Tian Li and Xiao Hei had breakfast, put on their schoolbags and went to school, and Tian Xiu began to wash the dishes and then clean up.

If Tian Laofu was on the day shift, Tian Xiu would have to pack the vegetable box for his father in advance.

When her father left for work, she finished cleaning and went to the store to queue up to buy groceries. When she got home, it was almost noon, and she had to prepare lunch for Tian Li.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Hei does not go home for dinner at noon.

Tian Xiu only has one or two hours after lunch in a day, which can be used by her personally. Go to the kang and squint for a while, or sit there in a daze and think about things.

Catching up with Tian Laofu to be at home off duty, Tian Xiu had to find time to monitor his father's whereabouts in addition to completing daily housework.

In the past, Tian Laofu was off-duty at home, smoking and shopping were the norm, and when he felt bored, he lay down on the kang and slept.

Recently, Tian Xiu found that his father's living habits had changed. He was idle, so he took a small bench and sat at the gate of the courtyard, smoking and looking at the scenery.

It won't be long before Huang Chunlan will come out with a garbage can to take out the garbage, or take a broom and come out to clean the front of her house.

As long as the two of them see it, they will be able to get together, find an inconsequential topic, and talk for hours.

At this time, Tian Xiu opened the door of the house, took a small bench, sat in the yard, stretched his neck, and eavesdropped on the chat between his father and Huang Chunlan.

She would rather not be able to buy fresh vegetables than leave the house at this time.

On several occasions, when she saw her father smoking at home or tidying up his garden, she would take a basket of vegetables to the store to buy vegetables.

When she returned, Huang Chunlan and her father must have been sitting at home chatting. Huang Chunlan saw that she was back, so she casually found an excuse to leave.

At that time, people were very simple, especially a big girl like Tian Xiu, who was ignorant of men and women, and she didn't know what her father and Huang Chunlan could do when they were alone, she just hated these two being alone at home.

This situation lasted for a while, and Tian Xiu felt that her father's attitude towards her was gradually getting colder, and sometimes she had to lose her temper with her for a trivial matter.

Finally, one day, my father spoke.

He said to Tian Xiu: "It's not a matter if you always stay at home, it's better to go back to the youth." ”

The youth point is a place where young people in the countryside live collectively.

When Tian Xiu returned to her hometown and settled in the queue, she deliberately went back to her hometown with her father. The uncle himself told her, "Just leave the formalities behind, and people don't want to suffer here." ”

Anyone who has had that experience knows that a group of half-grown children in their early twenties live together in a group. I have to work in the fields like the local farmers every day, and the labor intensity is definitely not something that these children who grew up in the city can bear.

Living conditions are even more miserable.

Their three meals a day are all taken care of by hired men, and the staple and non-staple food is basically rationed by the production team.

In summer and autumn, it is reasonable to say, cabbage, potatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, clear soup stewed out with little water, accompanied by sorghum rice, this thing is something you like to eat or not.

In winter and spring, it is common for them to have a shortage of vegetables and grain, and it is good to ensure that they have enough food for three meals a day. As for the non-staple food, sometimes a handful of salty salt is boiled in boiling water and poured into the rice, making do with a meal.

Therefore, the eldest uncle would rather bear the infamy of favoritism and fraud than let Tian Xiu go to the youth point to suffer.

Tian Xiu knew that the reason why her father drove her away was because she was an eyesore.

She had a grudge in her heart, and she didn't dare to say it in person, so she secretly held back a breath of fire, even if I leave, I have to mess up the affairs of the two of you first.

How to mix it.

She can't say it to her face, and publicly warns Huang Chunlan that you are not allowed to contact my father alone. If that's the case, maybe you'll get your father's fist.

I don't know which master made an accurate summary of the phenomenon of many children in the family at that time and the personality of each child: the eldest is stupid, the second is slippery, and the third is the most twisted, which is the so-called hypocrisy.

The honesty of the eldest in the family, out of the parents' consistent requirements for her. Let her set an example in front of her younger brothers and sisters, and she can't compete with her younger brothers and sisters.

When it comes to the specific situation, it is to work more and not complain less or not to complain. Once this kind of character is cultivated, it often evolves into stubbornness.

Tian Xiu recognized that her father wanted to drive her away, just so that she could get along with Huang Chunlan freely. She remembered what Xiao Hei said when the three of her sister and brother were talking about it.

First of all, one thing is certain, Tian Xiu did this to preserve the integrity of this family, and he was a little willing to give up his own happiness and protect his younger brothers and sisters from being bullied.

Soon after his wife's death, Tian Laofu wanted to find another woman to help him take care of the three children.

It's a pity that his conditions are too shabby.

A skilled worker, with a salary of only more than 30 yuan a month, it is difficult to raise three children, which woman is willing to come and suffer with him.

Not to mention, someone really introduced him to several widows, all of whom had dead husbands and left several children, and needed to find a man to help her raise the children.

Tian Laofu refused at that time. He struggled to even feed his three children, how could he add a new burden.

Tian Laofu has been alone for more than ten years.

Huang Chunlan's husband died of a work-related injury, Tian Laofu was busy and contributed, and he also helped Huang Chunlan from time to time afterwards.

If he doesn't have that mind for Huang Chunlan, he only does this to maintain the harmonious relationship between the two families for many years, it is a lie.

He has this heart, and he definitely doesn't have the guts.

Just like his second daughter Tian Li analyzed, Huang Chunlan didn't look down on his sloppy appearance at all.

What's more, when the husband died, he received a large pension and a survivor's allowance equivalent to a salary income every month.

The only possibility is that Huang Chunlan can't bear the loneliness, and out of physiological needs, a rabbit steals the grass by the nest and uses him as a venting tool.

His sloppy appearance blocked this possibility again.

Tian Laofeng also tried to ask Huang Chunlan for directions on the grounds of solving physiological needs.

Huang Chunlan was thorough at one point, she saw Tian Laofu's thoughts, and she also used indifference as soon as possible to give Tian Laofeng a clear answer, we are good neighbors, don't think crookedly.

Tian Laofu could only look away, he had been good neighbors for many years, and he didn't dare to provoke this trouble.

Tian Xiu graduated from junior high school and returned to his hometown, and Huang Chunlan's attitude towards Tian Laofu suddenly changed.

She began to take the initiative to chat with Tian Laofu, and in her words, she also deliberately revealed her concern for Tian Laofu.

This is of course a great thing for Tian Laofu.

"Old wilt, the child is also older, it's time to make yourself a new set of clothes to wear." Huang Chunlan's seemingly unintentional words, Tian Laofu listened to it, and his spirit was lifted. She also said: "Don't always have a scruffy beard, you should wash it, you should change it, how good it is to dress up cleanly and upright." ”

So, Tian Laofu not only brushed his teeth and shaved, but also put on the railway uniform at the bottom of the box.

"Hey, that's what it looks like." Huang Chunlan made no secret of her appreciation for Tian Laofu, and the number of times the two chatted gradually increased.

Tian Lao has been a bachelor for more than ten years, and he is so thirsty that he is about to smoke.

Huang Chunlan showed the slightest warmth to him, which made his hormones erupt violently.

In the past, he helped Huang Chunlan work, pretending to have a physical contact with Huang Chunlan unintentionally, Huang Chunlan's reaction was very exaggerated, and he dodged it with a "poof".

Tian Laofeng began to think about Huang Chunlan.

The two chatted hotly at the gate of the courtyard, and when they saw that Tian Xiu was carrying a basket to the store to buy vegetables, he sent an invitation to Huang Chunlan and said, "Come in and sit down for a while." ”

"My door is unlocked." Huang Chunlan said so, but she still entered the house with Tian Laofu.

The topics that the two talked about were all nonsense about parents who were short and had no farts to hold their throats. Tian Lao was full of interest, and Huang Chunlan also listened to it with relish.

Men are not bad, women are not loved.

This situation didn't last long, and Tian Laofu began to joke with Huang Chunlan.

It's all low-grade flirting and scolding, Huang Chunlan listened, smiled slightly, and made an excuse to leave.

Tian Laofeng didn't keep it, he took advantage of sending Huang Chunlan out, pretending to open the door for Huang Chunlan, and deliberately had physical contact with her.

Huang Chunlan neither dodges nor repels.

Tian Laofu therefore concluded that everything was ready, and only the east wind was owed.

Xiao Hei took the initiative to betray his two sisters, which sounded the alarm for Tian Laofu.

The children had already found out about him and Huang Chunlan, and they began to intervene to stop it, and the biggest obstacle was Tian Xiu.

Tian Laofu doesn't expect the children to understand his years of suffering, he just wants to tell the children with facts, when you grow up, your father will be old, and you should have a companion.

Tian Laofu didn't know why Huang Chunlan took the initiative to show favor to him.

He didn't have the heart to think about what the two of them would think of them once they pierced this layer of window paper.

She is single, I am single, what we do is not illegal, this is Tian Laofu's true thoughts.

If Tian Laofeng knew that his twilight love with Huang Chunlan might have been the fuse that led to the death of his baby son, Xiao Hei, it is estimated that he would definitely not have the courage to take this step forward.
