Liu Guangtian's flattery didn't get his father's response, he didn't even have a smiling face, he was used to it, he still laughed along with him, and glanced at the peanuts in front of his father from time to time.

"Today Qin Huairu helped the college student bring back two carts of furniture. They were all bought from department stores. Good guy, I bought all 36 legs at once." The second aunt continued, "This young man Ah, I just don’t know how to live, and I don’t understand the principle of the long flow of water, how can I be so nonsense? His father, don’t you think so?”

The second uncle Liu Haizhong frowned and said: "It's really outrageous. The country has repeatedly ordered us to be diligent and thrifty in managing the family and not extravagant. This Su Yuanchao, as a college student, did not set an example. The country trained him, not to let him spend money randomly! This is not acceptable. , I have to criticize and criticize him, and teach him the rules in this big courtyard by the way."

"What are the rules in our compound?" Liu Guangfu interrupted and asked.

This really stopped the second uncle from asking, he thought for a while before saying: "It's a dragon... coiled up for me, and a tiger lying down for me!"

Liu Guangfu smiled: "Dad, he's neither a dragon nor a tiger. He's a college student, so he can't listen to you. Besides, isn't there a grandpa in the courtyard? It's not your turn to take care of him."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Guangtian was shocked.

He glanced at his younger brother with horror on his face, and hurriedly stood up and backed away in fright.

Snapped!
Sure enough, in the next second, the black-faced Liu Haizhong slapped Liu Guangfu across the face.

Before Liu Guangfu could react, Liu Haizhong got up and slapped Liu Guangfu hard again, slapping Liu Guangfu to the ground, then chased after him and kicked Liu Guangfu in the face.

"I was wrong! I was wrong, Dad, don't hit me! I don't dare to do it anymore!" Liu Guangfu finally came to his senses, crying indistinctly in horror, holding his head and daring not to get up.

Liu Haizhong didn't move again, pointed at him and said coldly: "Speak up next time, get over your stupid brain! You bastard!"

"I was wrong, I'm sorry Dad, I'm sorry..." Liu Guangfu cried.

The second aunt looked on coldly and saw the strangeness, she sneered and said: "Your father doesn't care, it's your turn to intervene? Eat your father's food and drink your father's food, and you still talk about your father? You are a son, not an uncle!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong..." Liu Guangfu just begged for mercy and admitted his mistake, weeping uncontrollably.

"Don't eat dinner tonight! Go, stand at the base of the wall!" Liu Haizhong shouted.

Liu Guangfu didn't dare to be negligent, he got up straight away, everyone saw that his mouth was full of blood, but Liu Haizhong just kicked his mouth to pieces.

"Wash away the blood before standing up!" Second Aunt said.

When Liu Guangfu went to wash the blood off his face, Liu Haizhong's eyes fell on Liu Guangtian.

Liu Guangtian said vigilantly: "Dad, I didn't mess with you!"

"Get out!" Liu Haizhong scolded, "You useless thing, you've been staring at my peanuts for a long time, why don't you want to kill you? You are earning wages now, earning money and spending it yourself, and eating and drinking at home , I didn’t ask you for a penny, did I? If you are capable, buy and eat by yourself!”

Liu Guangtian said: "Dad, I only have such a small salary during my internship, and I still have to curry favor with our director to buy him cigarettes and invite him to eat. Where can I have spare money to buy peanuts? It's what you said, a man can't be without power for a day, I Don't you follow your teachings and want to find yourself an official job? You can't hit me, I am at a critical moment, if I lose my appearance and go to work, it will not be good..."

"Go, go, I still think my hands are dirty when I hit you." Liu Haizhong said angrily.

He glanced at his wife, frowned and said, "I remember I still have some melon seeds, find them for me, and I'll drink."

"Hey!" The second aunt hurried away in response.

There was a lot of commotion in the second uncle's house, but everyone in the whole courtyard was no stranger to it.

It's not uncommon for the old Liu's family to beat their son, and it happens every now and then.

That is to say, Liu Guangtian is beaten less now that he is working. In the past, the two brothers would be beaten today and tomorrow, and both of them would be beaten the day after tomorrow. Their faces would be bruised all year round.

The mother who delivered the meal to the deaf old lady in the backyard happened to pass by Liu Haizhong's house. When she heard the sound of beating the child inside, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes, and she walked away desolately.

She has been married to Yi Zhonghai for decades and has never had a child. This incident is a scar that the old couple will never heal for the rest of their lives.

Although the uncle has never complained about her these years, and has always been with her, but the mother knows that the wife who has always planned for the long-term is most worried about the problem of being old and having nothing to support.

During the famine in the first few years, the two of them had considered adopting an orphan to support themselves, but the first mother was always in poor health, soaked in medicine jars all year round, barely taking care of herself and her wife. a child?
Out of consideration for his wife's health, the uncle finally gave up his plan to adopt a child.

But both of them are at the age of knowing their destiny, their bodies are getting worse every day, how to live when they are old, and who will die for themselves, these issues are actually imminent.

Maybe it was because of the sympathy for each other, the uncle Yi Zhonghai has always taken good care of the lonely old man who lives in the backyard and the deaf old lady. He raised her like his own mother, took care of her two meals a day, and helped the old lady empty the spittoon every morning.

Although the deaf old lady is old, she is not old and confused. Instead, she has a pair of eyes that understand the world.

She saw Yi Zhonghai's worry, so she told him that Shazhu from the Intermediate Court was a reliable and good boy.

Stupid column?

This unscrupulous boy, can he do it?

And his father, isn't he dead yet...

Although Yi Zhonghai has some concerns, he has already started to get close to Sha Zhu and observe him.

Like a father, he often talks to Shazhu about some great truths, and his psychological hints generally remind Shazhu to respect the elderly, think more about others, be grateful, help others take care of the neighbors, and be broad-minded...

He worries about gains and losses, and hopes that Shazhu can become a good person who is selfless and dedicated, so that he can really rely on Shazhu.

But Sha Zhu was fascinated by Qin Huairu, the widow at the opposite door, who borrowed money and gave food to others, which made Yi Zhonghai very disappointed.

Yi Zhonghai sat at his dining table, frowning slightly.

In the past two years, he has been thinking about these questions every day when eating, and he himself feels a little dazed.

But the fear of being old and having nothing to support grew bigger and bigger in his heart, and it has indeed become his biggest heart disease.

Hearing the footsteps of the big mother coming back, Yi Zhonghai looked up and asked, "How is the old lady?"

"It seems a little serious." The first mother sighed, "I will empty the spittoon in the morning, and let the old lady untie her hands before emptying it. Her old man is also embarrassed to tell me that I empty the spittoon with my front foot , She ran to the latrine on her hind feet, and she didn't move her body early in the morning. Then she fell at the door of the latrine and sprained her tendons. She refused to go when I said to see the doctor, but her ankle was already swollen. She was using a hot towel when I went."

"Then you can stay in the old lady's house these two days except for cooking." Yi Zhonghai said, "It's easy to take care of anything."

"Hey." The aunt took two bowls to serve the rice, and caught a glimpse of a bag of stick noodles on the side, "Is it for Huairu again?"

Yi Zhonghai said with a "huh" and said, "I will send it at night when no one is around. People say that if you see me helping a widow like this all the time, maybe how to arrange for me. I have sent a few times, then Jiazhang's eyes don't look right when I look at me, the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes, everyone in her family is like this, let alone an outsider?"

"It's such a big place, who do you think you can hide from?" the aunt said, "Maybe people have seen it long ago. Zhong Hai, it's useless for you to do this, why don't you forget it? You give Qin Huairu's family delivered the food, originally thinking that her family would be more generous, so that she would not be so close to Shazhu, so that Shazhu could stay away from the little widow. But take a look, does it work? ?”

The aunt put the hot meal in front of Yi Zhonghai: "Should Sha Zhu give it away or give it away, Qin Huairu should follow or continue, there is no shortage. Aren't you trying to introduce someone to Sha Zhu? This silly Zhu pushes three blocks and four Yes, this looks down on that look down on, let me see, he is thinking about Qin Huairu!"

"We all came here when we were young. How can I not see through Shazhu's thoughts?" Yi Zhonghai stirred the bowl with chopsticks, "He just fell in love with Qin Huairu, young and young. The widow with three children, I really don't know what he thinks! If nothing else, just Jia Zhang's viciousness, can you spare him?"

"I also think they're useless, but it's just so exhausting..." The first mother shook her head worriedly.

"So, this stick noodle should be given away." Yi Zhonghai said, "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. If they become successful, sending the noodles now is the good cause planted. In the future, Qin Huai Ru also has to think about this feeling. The few times I have been in touch with her, I can see that she is also a sensible child who knows how to be grateful. Otherwise, she can let Jia Zhang dominate her head?"

The aunt shook her head, she was not optimistic about his wife's thoughts, and suddenly thought of something, she said: "By the way, a college student moved in from the front yard, and he is also from your factory, do you know?"

"Brother Jianshe," Yi Zhonghai said.

The aunt let out an "ah" and said in surprise, "I didn't know there was such a relationship. Although Jianshe was not brought out by you, I still call you Master. You used to always say that Jianshe is more talented than Jia Dongxu."

"Yes, it's a pity." Yi Zhonghai sighed, "It is said in the factory today that this kid is called Su Yuanchao, and he is in an administrative position. He will get a college student's salary when he enters the factory, and he will have a future. I don't know if he will leave. What does it matter, this starting point is not low."

"He is rich, you don't know, today..." The first mother took advantage of the situation and told what happened during the day, and also criticized Su Yi's way of spending money lavishly.

Yi Zhonghai pondered slightly, and said: "Well, you can find out the roll of cloth in the box later, and I will send it to him as a new addition to his new home."

The aunt let out an "hey" and took two mouthfuls of food in silence, then suddenly said, "Hey, I remember you said Jianshe's parents were martyrs, so does this Su Yuanchao have no adults? He's still a college student..."

"The more educated a person is, the colder he is." Yi Zhonghai shook his head, "The more you read, the more you feel you know more, and you think you understand everything. But how can there be any reason for the love in the world? Look at Yan Fugui'er's family, what kind of children have they been taught? Just watch, there will be times when he regrets it."

After a pause, he said again: "It takes a long time to see people's hearts, don't worry."

Big Mom nodded.

The couple finished their meal in silence, one went to wash the dishes, and the other went to make medicine.

"My cousins, countless, no big things, no door..." At the gate of the courtyard, Sha Zhu hummed a little tune, and walked in with a net bag containing three lunch boxes.

At this time, every family had finished their meal and ran back and forth to wash dishes in the sink in the middle yard. The yard was very lively.

Silly Zhu smiled and greeted the neighbors in the neighborhood with a loud voice that could be heard throughout the yard.

He was doing it so loudly on purpose, just to let some people know that he was back.

But some people were stepping on the sewing machine at this time, and they really didn't hear him speak.

But Jia Zhang heard it.

Stick stem didn't want to eat only corn porridge and steamed corn bread, so Jia Zhang stayed by the window and looked out from time to time. She heard Shazhu's voice before he passed the Chuhuamen.

"Huairu! Huairu! Silly Zhu is back! Hurry up!" Jiazhang's spirit lifted, and while aiming at that side vigorously, she said excitedly, "It seems to be carrying a lunch box, you go out!"

"How do I go out like this?" Qin Huairu is wearing a sleeve apron at the moment, and her body is covered with rags and threads, "Bang, go and see what delicious food your silly uncle brought you." ?”

"Yes yes yes, you go, Banggen!" Mrs. Jia Zhang urged Banggen again.

Stick had been waiting for this for a long time, so he ran out without saying a word.

At this time, Sha Zhu just walked to the door of Qin Huairu's house, and Bang Gan rushed out and went straight to Sha Zhu.

"Silly Zhu, what delicious food did you bring?" BangGou shouted.

"Oh, little ancestor, you can yell louder so that the whole courtyard can hear you!" Silly Zhu said speechlessly, "Where's your mother?"

He stretched his neck to look at Qin Huairu's house.

"She's helping people make quilts, and she doesn't have time to come out." Bang Gan replied, and snatched the things from Sha Zhu's hand.

"Make a quilt?" Silly Zhu was taken aback, holding on to the net bag without letting go, "Don't worry, tell me first, who is your mother making a quilt for? I heard that your mother came back early today, so why don't you make a quilt?" Borrowed the purchased cart, what is this for?"

"A man came from the front yard and said he was a college student, and my mother made it for him." BangGou said.

After thinking about it, he added bitterly: "That's not a good person! My mother scolded me because of him, and talked to him!"

Silly Zhu was shocked immediately, and hurriedly asked again: "What's going on, what's going on, please explain clearly!"

"Oh, you ask my mother, give it to me quickly, I'm starving to death!" Bang Geng said impatiently.

"I owe it to you!" Sha Zhu angrily let go, "Take it away, I haven't eaten yet, let your mother fry some peanuts for me!"

"My mother is busy!" BangGou ran home in a hurry.

Silly Zhu stayed for a long time, and laughed at himself: "Well, I have nothing to eat today, so I have to find food by myself."
