Chapter 3 The Chen Family
When I returned to my home, before I could make a sound, I saw a glimmer of light in the courtyard.
"Dad." Chen Xingbang said hello.
Finally, a man stood up and knocked the smoke away.
The glimmer vanished into the night.
"You have been helping your master deal with the aftermath for the past few days, but you haven't taken care of the affairs at home." Father Chen Jianguo said with some complaints, "Although you have to do things on your master's side, you can't help but come back and do your own things." Now only me and your second brother are doing those things in the field......"
"You can ask my brother to come back and do it together." Chen Xingbang sneered in his heart, and said very calmly, "My eldest brother is gone, so I have nothing to say, but my third brother is not still here during the summer vacation, okay, why don't you ask him to come back and do these things together?" ”
"Is your third brother the same as you?" Sure enough, Chen Jianguo was furious, "Can you compare with your third brother?" He is a secondary school graduate, and he has to go to the city to teach after this summer vacation, but if he wants to eat commercial grain, can he work in the field? ”
Sure enough, at this moment, the third brother Chen Xingjia inside had already walked out.
Hey, this forced thing is still coming out with a book.
Wearing small glasses, he looks like a dog.
The reason why Chen Xingbang has such a bad attitude towards Chen Xingjia is not because of his parents' partiality.
It's because Chen Xing's family really doesn't do personnel.
Chen Xingbang's family has four brothers and two sisters.
Chen Xingbang is the youngest in the line, and he is only 20 years old this year.
There are also three older brothers and two sisters on it.
The two older sisters have long since married.
The eldest brother, Chen Xingwang, died of illness two years ago, leaving behind his sister-in-law and a little niece Chen Xiaohua.
Sister-in-law Zhang Mandi is an honest person, and she has done things at home in an orderly manner over the years.
The second brother Chen Xingtian is twenty-four years old this year, but because his family is poor, he has not yet married.
The third brother Chen Xingjia ranked third, one year older than Chen Xingbang, and his reading performance was originally average, but he couldn't stand this guy's ability, repeated his studies for two years, and was admitted to the secondary school.
He doesn't have to do anything that others want to do.
You said that you could read and be favored in the village, Chen Xingbang didn't have anything to say, but Chen Xing's family was favored by his parents so much, but in the end there was nothing in return.
After Chen Xingbang went south to work before his rebirth, his parents were taken care of by his sister-in-law and second brother, but his sister-in-law and second brother were also poor to death, especially when their parents were sick, they were short of money and did not have a good environment, so they asked Chen Xingbang several times to let them go to the third child's house.
But the third child refused to live or die, and even if his parents took the car to find him by themselves, they would be kicked out by him.
In the end, Chen Xingbang took his parents to the south and gave them a pension.
It can be said that Chen Xingbang particularly looks down on Chen Xingjia.
In their previous lives, the two brothers were almost the kind that broke off their relationship.
"You don't just see other people's widows look beautiful, and you don't go home for the past two days, just help the widows work, right?" Chen Xingjia said with a smile when he came out.
Chen Xingbang looked at his third brother, stared at him and said, "What did you say?" Do you say it again? ”
Chen Xingjia's eyes were a little cold when he looked at Chen Xingbang, and his heart was a little weak, but he immediately said to his father: "Dad, look at it, now the fourth child has learned the craft with Liu Wanhe for three months, and his speech is different, it seems that he still wants to do it with me, look at him......"
Chen Jianguo was so angry that he pointed at Chen Xingbang and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
Chen Xingbang sneered and walked straight into the room.
But when I went in, I was dumbfounded.
It turned out that his small room that had been separated had been cleaned up.
It looks neat and clean.
"Where's my stuff?" Chen Xingbang hurriedly came out to ask.
"Xiaojuan is coming to our house in a few days!" Chen Xingjia said with some pride, "My girlfriend, your future third sister-in-law, she is from the city, and she can't get used to living with us, but she can't live with me, so she sorted out your small compartment and let her live." ”
"Isn't it going to be a few days?" Chen Xingbang vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.
"You don't pay attention to hygiene at all, you don't clean up in advance, if you clean up on that day, can you live in the room?" Chen Xingjia said disdainfully, "Clean it up in advance, so that you can breathe." ”
Chen Xingbang took a deep breath and looked at his father.
"I said it." Mother Liu Xiuxiu walked out and said, "Fourth, your third brother's girlfriend finally came back, we have to make a good impression on others, so we will clean up your cubicle, just a few days." ”
Chen Xingbang sneered in his heart.
Sure enough, I belong to someone in this family who is not loved by my father and mother.
"Xingbang, you can sleep with me." The second brother, Chen Xingtian, walked out.
The second brother is an honest man, and he has not been able to marry a daughter-in-law in his fifties in his last life.
In fact, Chen Xingbang wanted to take his second brother out after he developed in the south, and he was not old at that time.
But Chen Xingtian refused, saying that his sister-in-law couldn't take care of the two elderly at home alone, and she could still help at home.
It's just ruined my life.
In this regard, Chen Xingbang has always felt ashamed of his second brother.
After all, he can work hard in the south with such peace of mind, and it is also because he has his second brother and sister-in-law who support him in the rear.
No matter what happens in this life, I have to handle the marriage of my second brother.
"No, you two should sleep in the dining room." At this time, Chen Jianguo opened his mouth and said, "Second brother, don't sleep with the Xing family, let the Xing family sleep alone in that room, that ...... Xiaojuan is coming, we can't let people look down on her, after all, she is from the city, if she knows that you two brothers have a room, then she will have to laugh at our family. ”
Chen Xingtian was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect this.
And Chen Xingjia said hypocritically: "Second brother, you can understand me this time, our family of four brothers, the eldest brother married a daughter-in-law, but he is no longer there, now the most promising person to marry a daughter-in-law is me, and I am still from the city, you can't watch me make this matter yellow, you will only be a few days, just a few days, Xiaojuan will only live for two days at most." ”
The meaning of these words seems to mean that Chen Xingbang and Yao Cui will not succeed.
"Is there still a problem with you two big men sleeping in the dining room?" Chen Jianguo frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the attitude of the two.
Chen Xingbang was directly happy: "Yes, Dad, Mom, Third Brother, you are really my good family, and you will arrange this matter for me, it's really good, amazing......"
As he spoke, he pulled Chen Xingtian and went over to the dining room.
Chen Jianguo fell silent.
Of course he understood his son's irony, and he felt that something was not quite right, but ...... What can be done?
The third child is the most promising person in our family, so he should be taken care of by us, and there is nothing wrong with him.
"Third brother, hurry up and clean up your second brother's bed......" Liu Xiuxiu said happily, "Hurry up, your second brother's body is not clean every day, hurry up and clean up, otherwise Xiaojuan will come in a few days, and it will make people laugh, right?" ”
"Okay, Mom, I'll clean up right away."
Over there, Chen Xingbang pulled Chen Xingtian to the dining room.
In fact, this is a side hall.
As soon as I took the straw mat and was about to lay it down, I saw the light of a kerosene lamp on the other side.
"Why do you live here, the ground is full of grease, how can you sleep here?" Sister-in-law Zhang Mandi's voice rang out, "Don't sleep here, you go to sleep in our room, I sleep in the firewood room with Xiaohua." ”
