Chapter 8 It is difficult to recite scriptures in every family
Fang Bai didn't know what others thought of him riding a new car, anyway, he was quite high.
It's getting closer and closer to home, and it's timid, and it's a little nostalgic for home.
"Hey, isn't that Fang Shi's son? A villager who worked in the same valve factory as him said that he had three fingers cut off by the machine. ”
"Yes, it's hard to find a job and marry a wife in the future, it's really unlucky."
"Whose car is he borrowing, a new car?"
On the road, many villagers cast pity on Fang Bai and gossiped directly.
Fang Bai didn't ride fast, he heard a lot of words, but he didn't say anything, he was used to it in his previous life.
Moreover, these villagers are also right, the middle third finger is broken, and the right hand cannot use strength, which means that it is difficult to eat.
When he was still a hundred meters away from home, he met the second aunt of the neighbor and also greeted Fang Bai, and Fang Bai had to stop and talk to her.
"Fang Bai, you have been discharged from the hospital."
"Well, just came back from the hospital."
"Oh, what are your plans for the future?"
"One step at a time, hehe." Fang Bai smiled and replied perfunctorily, if he said repeating, people thought that he might not be able to read it.
If he talks about doing business, wouldn't he be laughed at, and within a few hours, the whole village knew that he didn't know the height of the sky, and he was still doing business!
"That's not good, you can do some light work, save more money, and get married early. You see, there are a lot of people in the village who are not married in their thirties, so don't join in the fun with them. ”
Fang Bai still has a smiling face, now as long as he is not married after the age of thirty, he is criticized by the villagers for having brain problems, but after thirty years, there are many singles in the village who are over 30 years old and have not married.
After chatting for a while, we continued to ride home.
Judging from the attitude of the villagers towards him, they are not optimistic about his future, and he was basically sentenced to death.
Whenever there is something new in the village, it will soon spread in the village, and the old women and old men who gather under the banyan tree at the head of the village are all propaganda activists, and they can all pick up the affairs of his family inside and out.
Getting closer and closer to home, the next road is narrow and crooked, and the road ravaged by the ox cart is ravaged by layers of ravines, and it is not very convenient to ride, so Fang Bai has to get out of the car and push it to walk.
I met a few villagers who had just returned from farming with farm tools on their backs, and there were also many children, most of whom knew each other and said hello.
"Brother Bai, I heard from the people in the village that you have a broken hand, you can't work, and you can't marry a daughter-in-law, is it true?" A five or six-year-old child saw Fang Bai and chased after him in the car, but the child didn't care so much when he spoke, and asked whatever he wanted, which made Fang Bai slightly embarrassed.
"Uh, it's a broken finger, it's been connected, it's not a broken hand, who is talking nonsense."
Seeing that Fang Bai was angry, the little kid glanced at his hand more, and then ran away and shouted to a few friends: "Brother Bai has a broken finger, not a broken hand, I can see it clearly." ”
Hearing the little kid shouting like this, Fang Bai smiled bitterly and continued to walk in the direction of home.
Fangbai's village is built at the foot of the mountain, and most of the houses in the village are brick and wood structures, with red walls and tiles, simple and warm.
In this era, it is still relatively rare to build buildings in rural areas, but in the rural areas of Jiangnan Province, the people are generally rich, and it is more common to build buildings in rural areas, and most of the floor slabs are prefabricated slabs.
It can be said that in Fangbai Village, sixty or seventy percent of rural families have already built buildings, most of which have been built in recent years.
However, his family did not have the money to build a house.
Fang Bai's home is mainly three south-facing tile houses and two partial rooms.
The parents occupy one bedroom, the middle room is the middle hall, which is also the living room, and the other bedroom, Fang Bai and his sister live together, each with a bed.
The partial room is the kitchen and bathroom, very simple, especially the bathroom, the rain in the house ticking, and there is no electric light, if you want to take a bath, you have to take a bath as soon as possible.
There is a vegetable patch in front of the house, where you can grow some seasonal vegetables.
Fang Bai just parked his bicycle in front of the middle hall, and his sister Fang Tingting was reading in the bedroom and saw a sound outside the house.
She is in her second year of junior high school at Oubei No. 1 Middle School, and she came back from school yesterday afternoon and will return to school tomorrow Sunday.
"Brother, you came back from the hospital, I originally wanted to go to the hospital to see you, but my mother said that you have been discharged from the hospital and don't need to go." Her eyes turned red as she spoke, "I only found out about this when I went home yesterday and heard from the people in the village, but it scared me." ”
Fang Tingting checked her brother's hands as she spoke, and when she saw the obvious scar on her brother's right middle finger, she couldn't help but shed tears: "Brother, does it still hurt now?" ”
Fang Bai touched the head melon that was a head shorter than him, and then looked at her thin body as if she could be blown down by a typhoon, and her heart was not a good feeling.
Although my sister is very arrogant, her grades are not bad, and she was admitted to a second normal university and came out to become a teacher.
When he got married, his sister was as happy as a blooming flower, and her laughter was heard everywhere in the village. For her, her brother can marry a beautiful and cultured sister-in-law, which makes her very proud.
Later, when she learned that her nephew and sister-in-law had left one after another, she herself was also very sad, and she saw her brother choked with grief and couldn't cry, and hugged her brother and cried a lot.
In her eyes, her brother is the spiritual pillar of the family, sacrificing herself not to repeat her studies, working to earn money for her school, she feels that she owes her brother too much, but her own character, no ability, has always been guilty.
In the past few years, Fang Bai's sister lost her previous cheerfulness and vitality, and tried her best to help him recover his fighting spirit.
Putting aside the past, Fang Baiwen smiled: "It doesn't hurt, I've recovered, don't worry, are my parents here?" ”
"Dad's here, Mom just went out not long ago, and said she was going to the second aunt's house, hey, whose car is this? It's so new, brother, you won't be ......" Fang Tingting wiped away her tears and turned surprised.
", I bought it." Fang Bai glanced at his sister and scolded, "Can you think in a good direction." ”
He doesn't plan to hide the car, after all, it is more convenient to have a car, which he can use and his family can use.
He planned to tell his family that he would ask for 1,000 yuan in compensation from his boss and then increase his salary, and he planned to give his family 800 yuan for emergency purposes first, and keep some money for himself.
The rest of the money, Fang Bai didn't plan to say, it would cost 3,000 yuan to buy equipment, and it would cost 360 yuan to rent a house, and there would be some unknown expenses, so he had to keep some funds for turnover, and then make up for his family after he earned the money, not a month.
Fang Bai has to plan his money now, and he can't wait to break one dollar into two pieces.
"Ah, where did you get the money?"
"Rob the bank, fortunately your brother is fast."
"Cut, don't talk about pulling down, my mother asked you at night, and I didn't tell you honestly, can you escape my mother's needle prick."
"Hehe, I remember the year before last, someone was naughty and did bad things, his hand was pricked by needles and he cried so much that he hid in the corner of the bed and said don't want it......"
"Ah, don't say it, don't say it!" Hearing the trouble, my sister was so shy that she quickly covered her brother's mouth and didn't let him continue.
Fang Bai was amused, pushed her little hand away, wiped her mouth, and said in disgust: "Your hands are dirty, you didn't wash your hands when you went to the toilet." ”
"Hehe, you found out." Fang Tingting joked.
"Disgusting, to be serious, why did my mother go to the second aunt's house?" Fang Bai was a little curious that his mother went to the second aunt's house at this time, but he could probably guess that most of them were borrowing money to repeat for him.
The second aunt will not lend them money if she has money, and in his previous life, he had an accident, and his father did not borrow it.
Fang Bai is too familiar with his second uncle and aunt's family, and there are many conflicts between the two families, mainly caused by the preference of grandparents and the elderly.
His grandfather had four children, the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle died young, and Fang Bai's father ranked third.
The second uncle Fang Lei is five years older than Fang Bai's father Fang Shi, his academic performance is better, his grandparents are fully supportive, and he loves the third child in general.
Grandpa asked Fang Bai's father to give up his studies to help earn work points to support the second child to go to school, and later the second uncle was admitted to the technical secondary school, and it was very good to be admitted to the secondary school that year, but the second uncle looked down on the third who worked after graduation.
After Fang Bai's mother got married, she kept talking about it, quarreled with her grandparents, saying that the old man was not doing things fairly, and the second uncle was studying at a secondary school back then, and even her marriage and separation were unfair, nothing.
Over the years, Fang Bai's mother has always been resentful, and she doesn't want to associate with the second uncle's family, and people don't want to have anything to do with them.
In the past few years, Fang Bai's mother has been working as a logistics worker in Yongjia Middle School, and when she met her second aunt who was a teacher at the school, she had to say hello.
Now that the child is older, Fang Bai's mother is really forced to borrow all the relatives who can borrow it, so she has to frown and ask for help, hoping that his second aunt will forget the past and help the child for the sake of it.
If Fang Bai's mother really came to borrow money, most of them would have to be closed.
Around 2010, Fang Bai's hometown was engaged in development, and a lot of money was allocated for demolition, and the second uncle and second aunt jumped out again, saying that they should have a share.
At that time, Fang Bai's mother scolded: "The division of cultivated land by the production brigade in eight years has nothing to do with you people in the city!" ”
didn't get it to Fang Bai's family, but the grandmother who was still alive gave the old man and her share of the demolition money to the second uncle's family.
However, Fang Bai's mother is too lazy to care, maybe she will go to the ground after scolding the old man, not to mention that the relationship with the old man has not been bad over the years.
Fang Bai was more impressed by these things, this was not his family's specialty, but the situation of many families.
It's not about hating grandparents and the second uncle's family, it's just that they're very cold to them, it doesn't matter, everyone has their own way.
Hey, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
"I don't know, you can ask Dad."
The brother and sister spoke, and the father, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the voice of talking and came out of the kitchen, and was also surprised to see his son pushing the new car back, but he was more concerned about his son's hand, and looked at it carefully, and saw that his son was relieved when he said that he didn't care, and he felt a little guilty, if it wasn't for the poor family, the son would not go to work in the factory.
"Your mother went to your second aunt's house and said that she would talk to your second aunt about your repetition, and hoped that you could repeat your studies in Yongjia Middle School, after all, you can repeat your studies there, the teachers are good, and it will be easier to be admitted to university."
"What's the use of looking for her, I'm already planning to read it in Oubei No. 1 Middle School." Fang Bai frowned and said.
Yongjia Middle School is a key high school, much better than Oubei No. 1 Middle School, he was not admitted that year.
"I also told you, your mother doesn't believe it, so she wants to give it a try." Fang Shi sighed, he also borrowed money from his brother, but he didn't borrow it, and was ridiculed by his sister-in-law, saying that his son didn't have much money to study, and he couldn't take out two or three hundred yuan, but he didn't plan to tell his son about this.
"I'll go for a trip, let Mom stop tossing." After Fang Bai finished speaking, he turned the front of the car and quickly got in the car and left, regardless of the bumpy road.
Fang Shi watched his son leave, and he didn't have time to persuade him.
However, I still hope that my son can catch up, so as not to be nagged by his sister-in-law.
Seeing his son leaving, Fang Shi planned to buy some pork and come back, and make meat for the child to taste tonight.
