"Auntie, it's so dark in your house, why don't you turn on the lights, I remember you have electricity here. Hu Mingchen added corn cores to the iron shelf, looked up at the black overhead, and said.

"We have electricity here, but in order to save electricity, we don't turn it on, and we only turn it on at night. Grandpa said.

"The electricity bill is a few yuan a month, Xiao Chen, you sit, I'll go get the pot to wash the rice, and I'll cook for you to eat." The aunt took out a blackened aluminum rice cooker from the corner of the wall and said.

"Auntie, no, no, we've really eaten, don't bother, we're just coming to see you, sit with you, we'll go home in a while." Hu Yandie hurriedly stopped.

"How can you go so quickly, when you come to your aunt's house, you have to eat and then leave, your aunt cooks, I will go to catch chickens and kill them immediately, no matter what, I have to eat a meal and then go back, your two sisters, including your father and your mother, I am afraid they have not eaten at my house for more than ten years." "My aunt and grandfather persuaded me.

"Grandpa, you are sitting, you are not well, and it is still a little cold outside, no, we are hungry, of course we will eat, even if we have to make dinner, it shouldn't be now, it's still early." Auntie, you can also sit down, bake the fire first, and cook later. Hu Mingchen stopped the two old men and said.

Under the persuasion and obstruction of Hu Yandie and Hu Mingchen, the two old men did not go to cook and kill chickens immediately, but accompanied Hu Mingchen and the two sisters to sit by the fire and chat.

"Auntie, where's my big daddy......? They don't seem to be accompanying you for the New Year?" Hu Mingchen remembered what Hu Yandie mentioned to him on the way, and asked casually.

"Your father, Chinese New Year? Hmph, I haven't seen him since the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month. Grandpa snorted coldly.

My aunt and grandfather had three daughters and a son, and the three daughters got married, and one of them died without thinking about it. The two old men were counting on their sons, but their sons and daughters-in-law were not at home on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and until today, it is no wonder that my aunt and grandfather are so cold. At the same time, it is no wonder that there is no New Year's atmosphere left in the house.

"Daddy's family didn't spend the New Year at home?" asked Hu Yandie with a frown.

Not to mention in the countryside, even in the city, the Chinese New Year is also a day for the whole family to reunite, and the most important festival for everyone is the Spring Festival. And the big dad actually left the two old people and didn't spend the New Year at home, which is really quite excessive.

"What kind of New Year's is it, I guess I went to that woman's house for the New Year. Grandma said coldly.

"Auntie, I remember my aunt was fine, what's the ...... Why is it divided?" asked Hu Mingchen.

"Who knows what he is crazy about, the woman who takes care of the family diligently doesn't want it, but wants to find a vixen, and now the doll has also been taken away, I see what he will do in the future, I'm afraid he will be even more miserable than the two of us in the future. The aunt glared at the air very uncomfortably and scolded.

"Auntie, it shouldn't be, it's a big daddy's doll after all. Then doesn't there be a doll for this new aunt that my dad is looking for?" Hu Mingchen comforted.

"Yes, why not, there are three dolls, one is married, two are studying, and now, the burden falls on your father's head. This short-lived, he didn't raise his own dolls, and went to raise dolls for others, and I saw that his skull was eaten by dogs. "Because they are dissatisfied with the new marriage relationship of the eldest father, the aunt and they are dissatisfied with everything.

Hu Mingchen and the two old men sat by the fire and chatted, and before they knew it, more than half an hour had passed.

In order to prevent the two old men from really cooking and entertaining their sisters and brothers, Hu Yandie gave Hu Mingchen a look, meaning that they could go, don't make trouble for their old man.

Hu Mingchen stood up, touched his purse, and took out two thousand yuan from his trouser pocket.

"Auntie, we rarely come to see you, you take this money, when you rush to the market, you can buy some if you want to eat, and my aunt and grandfather will go to the health center if they are not in good health, if they can't do it again, call my father and ask him to drag you to the big hospital in the city." Hu Mingchen stuffed the two thousand yuan into his aunt's hand and said.

"No, no, I can't ask for your money, you are dolls, take it back, my aunt hasn't given you the New Year's money yet, how can I collect your money in turn?"

"Yes, Xiao Chen, you take the money back, our two elders are in good health now, it's okay to run to eat by yourself, although your father can't make it, but we don't care about him, so much money, you better take it back." My aunt and grandfather followed suit.

Two thousand yuan is nothing to Hu Mingchen, but for the two old men, it is really a huge amount of money, and if they want to spend it, it is estimated that there is still something left after half a year.

"Grandpa, auntie, don't shirk it, you don't have much money, you also know that my family is making money, and it is right to honor you. Take it, my dad is not at home, you have to live. Don't worry, I earned the money myself, and I kept it. Hu Mingchen had a lot of strength and forced the money into his aunt's clothes pocket.

My aunt and grandfather looked at each other, sighed, and reluctantly accepted the money.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Fluttershy, you have a heart, thank you two dolls, we will take it, but you have to eat before leaving. My aunt was moved to pull Hu Mingchen and Hu Yandie.

It is no secret that Hu Mingchen's family is rich, just the Minzu Street on the street belongs to his family, and few people in Duge Township do not know about it.

The money was collected, but the aunt felt that if she didn't leave the two sisters and brothers of Hu Mingchen's family to have a meal and entertain them, the two old men would be upset.

"Auntie, what about the meal, I'll eat when I come back, we have to go to the street to do something now, it's late, it's not easy to do, and if you go later, people will be closed." Hu Mingchen pulled a pretense and said from the beginning.

"Yes, auntie, aunt, you don't have to bother, we're going to run errands, we will eat next time, we will eat next. Hu Yandie echoed.

Hu Yandie and Hu Mingchen insisted on leaving without eating, and their aunt and grandfather had no choice but to send them out.

However, as soon as they went out, they met Big Daddy Wu Dayou walking into the yard with a half-aged woman talking and laughing.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Fluttershy, you're here, what, want to leave?" Wu Dayou saw them and greeted Hu Mingchen and Hu Yandie first.

"Do you still know how to come back?" I thought you were dead?" Seeing his son, his aunt's grief came to him, and he was stunned and scolded.

Although Hu Mingchen and Hu Yandie didn't like this big daddy's style very much, they were elders after all, and Hu Mingchen and Hu Yandie still responded coldly.

"Mom, look at you, the Great New Year's Day, what are you scolding, we are not going anywhere, or going to the full moon house for the New Year. Wu Dayou said with a calm face.

"You go to her house for the New Year, have you ever wondered if your father and mother are dead at home, have you ever thought about whether we are celebrating the New Year?"

"Old woman, Fluttershy is here, let's scold, it's over, what's the use of talking about it. Grandpa advised.

"Mom, you really talk about it, what do you mean I haven't thought about you, didn't I prepare bacon for you? What's wrong with going to Houjia for the New Year? Which rule can't go? I just want to go, not only this year, but also next year, I can't care about any of them. Wu Dayou followed and shouted angrily.

"Big Daddy...... I'm a junior, and there are some things I say that are actually inappropriate and inappropriate, but I think you shouldn't yell at your aunt like this. The two of them were left at home to live alone for the New Year, and their hearts were already very uncomfortable, if you say this again, won't they be even more sad?" Hu Mingchen really couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but say.

"Uncomfortable, sad? They quarrel with your aunt all day long, I don't feel bad, I don't feel sad? I can't hide for a few days. Don't you want to go? If you want to go, you don't care about my family's affairs. Wu Dayou, as soon as he shook his head, he ran to the door of the hall and squatted and smoked.

This kind of housework, and it is also the housework of the elders, Hu Mingchen really can't manage it, and sometimes he doesn't want to take care of it. It's just that when things happened, he couldn't do it if he wanted Hu Mingchen to walk away like this.

"We quarrel with her? You don't ask her, why do we quarrel with her? Since she entered this house, will our family have a peaceful day? Every day, we have to cook and tell her to get up to eat, and we don't do anything, either go to the east house to visit the door or go to the west house to play cards, which one is the mother and which is the daughter-in-law? You rabbit cub, you really have a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, and you don't want to think about which one gave birth to you and which one raised you. As she spoke, my aunt's tears flowed.

"Mom, what you said is against your will, did I ask you to call me? Did I ask you to take care of me? I didn't, you can do it if you like, and if you don't like it, pull it down, you are a mother-in-law, what kind of thing is it to provoke the two of us like this?" The half-old raised her eyebrows, and said in a weird manner.

"Xu Manyue, which provokes you, don't be too much. If you don't like to do it, pull it down, so which one will you show that elongated face?"

Hu Mingchen can see that the source of all this is in this Xu Manyue woman. No matter how much truth they said to each other, but just based on the attitude of Xu Manyue, I knew that she didn't have the slightest respect and filial piety for her in-laws.

With such a woman here, it would be strange for my aunt and grandfather to have a better life. The most important thing is that the two old men only have Wu Dayou's son, and they can't leave it if they want to.

"Which one pulls the face? Which one pulls the face? Wu Dayou, you still don't care?" Xu Manyue's phoenix eyes glared, and instantly pulled Wu Dayou to be the back shield, "I can't say that I won't come back, you still want to come back, what are you doing when you come back, come back to see your face and live a hard life? What is good about this half of your house? I will move to the façade of Minzu Street tomorrow, and I won't come up again in the future." ”
