Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

Chapter 113 Regret

After the Spring Festival, we enter 2003.

Zhang Guangzong drove a tricycle and took his family to visit relatives.

Zhang Yixing and his sister squeezed into the passenger seat, while his mother Li Hongyu sat on a bench and wrapped a blanket in the back compartment.

Zhang Xiuxiu was very excited to go to her uncle's house to visit relatives. She was especially greedy for the food cooked by her uncle, even though her aunt would come to deliver food to the two of them almost every Wednesday after entering junior high school.

The blue tricycle drove on the dirt road in the countryside, making a squeaking sound.

As for his father's insistence on buying this Shifeng tricycle, Zhang Yixing was quite speechless.

After all, in terms of comfort, tricycles are definitely not as good as cars.

But my father only considers practicality. In his opinion, the vehicle must at least be able to go into the ground, pull fertilizer, grain and corn stalks. Naturally, a three-wheeled vehicle with a body is the most suitable.

When they arrived at the village entrance to their uncle's home, Zhang and his party saw his cousin Li Wenbin standing at the entrance of the village waiting.

Nowadays, landline phones have become more common. If you call a relative before visiting, you can basically estimate how long it will take for the person to arrive.

He followed Li Wenbin into the village and parked the car in front of his uncle's house. Li Wenbin shouted at the gate, "Mom, dad, aunt and uncle are here!"

Yu Xiumin came out quickly.

Zhang Yixing and Zhang Xiuxiu jumped out of the car, received various New Year gifts such as meat, fish, and biscuits from the back, shouted "Girl" and went home.

Li Jinyang was killing chickens in the yard. Hot water was steaming in a large iron basin, and there was a pile of chicken feathers on the ground.

Seeing the brothers and sisters coming in, Li Jinyang smiled and greeted: "Here you come, go back to the house quickly to warm up!"

Then he told his son Li Wenbin: "Hurry up and make tea!"

After entering the room and having nothing to do, Zhang and his party sat on the bench and ate melon seeds.

Li Wenbin took Zhang Xiuxiu to play "MapleStory".

Li Hongyu went to the kitchen to help.

Zhang Guangzong sat on the sofa and drank tea by himself.

Things can't be hidden in the countryside. The news that Li Hongyu took her son back to her parents' home to visit relatives has spread. From time to time, neighbors come to chat with her and say over and over again that Li Hongyu is lucky.

"Okay, okay, this one calls me sister-in-law!"

"Okay, okay, this is your aunt in the back!"

"Okay, okay, this is your second brother!"

This kind of scene happens almost every year, but Zhang and his relatives can't remember it all, and here they forget it afterward, so they laugh when they see people, and just shout whatever Li Hongyu tells him to shout.

When it was time to eat, not many people came to the door. The few who came saw that the meal was in the room, said hello and left.

When going to other relatives' houses, even if they see Zhang Guangzong riding a motorcycle, they will always persuade him to drink.

Li Jinyang did not persuade him much. He drank there while everyone else drank juice.

"Okay, Xiu Xiu, eat more food and don't put down your chopsticks!"

Zhang Yixing and Zhang Xiuxiu were naturally not polite at their uncle's house. There was a hill of chicken bones in front of them.

Zhang Xiuxiu even brought a kitchen knife over just to chop open the chicken head and eat the chicken brains.

By the time the meal was served, Li Jinyang was already drunk.

He suddenly stood up and went to the next room. He heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets inside. After a while, he came over with a paper package.

Passing the paper bag to Li Hongyu, Li Jinyang murmured: "Sister, this is for you!"

"What is it?" Li Hongyu took it in confusion, opened the newspaper and looked at it, and saw stacks of cash inside.

Li Hongyu pushed the paper bag to Li Jinyang, "I drank too much, why did you give me money?"

Li Jinyang breathed out alcohol and glared: "Take it! You must hold it for me!"

Li Hongyu frowned and said, "What do I do with my money? You drank too much. If you drink too much, go to bed!" "Take it!"

Li Jinyang suddenly yelled.

Yu Xiumin pulled Li Jinyang's arm and said angrily: "Why are you so loud!"

She turned to Li Hongyu and said, "Sister, just take the money. If you don't take it, he will feel uncomfortable!"

Li Hongyu said anxiously: "No, what should I do with your money? My family is not short of money!"

Even Zhang Guangzong also came out to help, "Just put the money away, and the family will not be short of money!"

Li Jinyang continued to stuff money into Li Hongyu's arms. The two of them pulled at each other, and Li Jinyang suddenly burst into tears at the top of his lungs.

Li Hongyu was frightened, and hurriedly went over to hug Li Jinyang and cried: "What's wrong with you? Tell me if you have anything to do. Why are you crying during the Chinese New Year? Stop crying!"

Li Jinyang collapsed on the ground and suddenly slapped himself hard several times, crying: "Sister, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for our mother, mother, I'm sorry for you, mother."

Li Hongyu grabbed Li Jinyang's hand, "What are you talking about? Mom has been gone for so many years. Get up and stop crying. Don't scare me!"

Yu Xiumin pushed all three children into the yard, closed the door and came back.

She wiped away her tears and said to Li Hongyu:

"Sister, after mom left, Jin Yang has been having a hard time these years. Take the money, a total of 150,000, and 130,000 is the money you paid for the treatment when our mom was sick. If you accept it, he will feel better. Just treat it as the money he paid for mother's medical treatment, and he should be a filial piety. The remaining 20,000 yuan was borrowed by you when he had an accident. You didn't let me tell you, so I told him anyway, keep it!"

Li Hongyu cried: "Why are you telling him this!"

Then he turned around and hugged Li Jinyang and said: "How many years ago, I borrowed money not for you, but for our mother! Dad is gone, Caixia is still young, Xiumin has just given birth, and mother is not in good health. , I’m the eldest, I can’t watch my mother and Caixia cry every day. The big pot at home has been smashed! But isn’t this all over now! As long as you work hard and take the right path, my mother won’t blame you. !”

Zhang Guangzong stood nearby and didn't know how to persuade him, so he kept saying: "Get up, ah, don't cry, it's so bad to celebrate the New Year!"

It wasn't until more than half an hour later that Li Jinyang finally calmed down.

"Sister, you take the money! You must take it!"

Li Jinyang gave Li Hongyu the money, then walked out of the house and went to the toilet.

In the room, Yu Xiumin continued to persuade: "Sister, take the money. He has been saving money all these years just to pay you back. If you don't take it, he still can't get through it!"

Li Hongyu wiped her red eyes and sighed: "What do I need money for? There is no shortage of money at home! Treat our mother. As a daughter, I should get it. As for the 20,000, it is for our mother!"

Yu Xiumin shook her head and said, "Sister, that's not the way it is calculated! If you hold it, he will feel better!"

At this moment, Li Wenbin opened the door and came in shouting: "Mom, my dad is out!"

Li Hongyu and Yu Xiumin were frightened and ran out of the yard to chase after him, but Li Jinyang was nowhere to be seen.

A group of people hurriedly looked around.

Finally, when we found the west entrance of the village, we saw Li Jinyang kneeling in front of a grave in a wheat field in the west of the village, crying non-stop, "Mom~"!

Li Hongyu and others quickly chased after him.

Zhang Yixing grabbed his sister's arm and said, "Don't go there!"

Zhang Xiuxiu nodded and said timidly: "Brother, what's wrong with uncle today? It's so scary!"

"He misses his mother!"

"Grandma?"

"Ok!"

"I miss grandma too!"

……

Going home that day, Li Hongyu finally took the bag of money.

In the evening, she cried and called her sister Li Caixia to talk about today's events.

Li Caixia was silent there for a long time before murmuring: "He still has a conscience!"
