At this time, the Chinese New Year is not as colorful as it was after the reform and opening up.
The atmosphere in the county town is better than usual, but it still shows a sense of oppression in this special era. There are no familiar New Year songs, and there are no happy New Year foods and festive spring couplets that fill the streets and alleys.
There are only a few places where you can buy materials for the New Year, such as meat joint factories, non-staple food factories, supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned shopping malls... Every place is crowded with people who can't even insert their feet.
Such a cold day can't resist people's enthusiasm for purchasing.
Seeing this, Han Cheng regretted that he didn't buy some fireworks and firecrackers from the city. Although it was crowded, it wasn't to such a terrifying level.
"I'll send you to find big brother first, and I'll queue up to buy, so don't crowd." Han Cheng said.
Small rice **** can be regarded as people who have seen the "big scene", and often follow their parents to squeeze the supply and marketing cooperatives and squeeze the black market to buy things, but this is the first time he has seen such a big "big scene".
Onigiri blinked: "Mom, there are so many people."
Su Xiaoxiao put her arms around the cub's neck: "Yes, life in the countryside is hard, and everyone is only willing to buy something delicious and use something good during the New Year, so they all crowded together."
The rice ball nodded: "Then let's not rob them? Xiaobao, let's not buy firecrackers, okay?"
Xiaobao has been crowding supply and marketing cooperatives like this since New Year's Eve as he can remember. He is used to it: "I'm also a rural person, and I only buy it once a year. Usually, my grandma doesn't let me buy it. I'm not afraid of crowding. I'll be able to squeeze to the front as soon as possible, and my uncle and I will buy it later."
Several children in the family are better than each other. In terms of logical thinking, Rice Ball and Xiaobao are also on an equal footing, and neither one loses to the other.
Han Cheng said: "It doesn't matter, once a year, Xiaobao and aunt go to stay at the uncle's house. I'll just wait and buy it, and then I'll pick you up after I buy it."
Little Treasure was happy: "Uncle is the best."
Little Rice Ball and Little Pillar actually wanted to play, so they were naturally happy to hear Han Cheng say that.
Hancheng drove them away in front of the dormitory building of the food processing factory.
Su Xiaoxiao took a few biscuits to the uncle who was in charge of the gate, and registered to go to Su Zhenzhong. The uncle got her biscuits and smiled and led them to the building where Su Zhenzhong was located.
The dormitory building is a few years old. The cheese building is dilapidated and old. The corridors are very narrow. The handrails are peeled off and the walls are black. Xiaodoubao will not be held by his mother, but his brother will lead him up.
Su Zhenzhong's family of three lives in the last unit on the second floor.
Most of the people in the factory have already gone on holiday, and Su Zhenzhong's family is ready to go back to Sujia Village to celebrate the New Year.
Dabao got a new slingshot and was reluctant to use it. He touched it again and again, ready to take it back to Sujia Village to play with Xiaobao again.
The door was unlocked. When Su Xiaoxiao brought the children, Dabao just aimed at the door to simulate shooting. With the sound of "BIU", Su Xiaoxiao suddenly appeared and shouted with a smile, "Big brother, sister-in-law, Dabao."
She was so frightened that Dabao almost fell off the chair.
Su Zhenzhong and Liang Hongmei were doing hygiene, and they both looked at the door when they heard the sound.
Liang Hongmei was surprised and delighted: "Xiaoxiao? Why are you here?" Liang Hongmei wiped her hands, stepped forward and grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's arm, looking back and forth, "You've changed a lot, you look a little fatter, Sister-in-law almost didn't recognize her."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "I can eat and sleep recently, but I have gained a little weight. The cubs are coming here. This is my uncle and aunt and brother Dabao."
Three beautiful and generous cubs lined up and shouted crisply: "Uncle, Aunt, Brother Dabao!"
But Liang Hongmei and Su Zhenzhong were rarely damaged.
Liang Hongmei looked at the children one by one, her eyes straightened: "Oh, how are these children raised? They are really good-looking. Come, come, Dabao, bring the winter melon candy and share it with the younger brothers."
Dabao hasn't reacted yet. Apart from taking Su Xiaoxiao with him for a while before he can remember, he spends the rest of his time living with his parents in the county. It is far from the relative affection between Xiaobao and Su Xiaoxiao, but he still lives in the county. I love this pretty aunt.
She shyly called out to my aunt and ran into the room "dong dong" to take out the winter melon candy from my parents' unit and share it with my friends.
Xiaobao grabbed a piece and stuffed it into Xiaodoubao's hand before introducing it to Dabao: "Brother Dabao, the youngest is Xiaodoubao, this is rice ball, this is pillar, I told you last time, they are all in the first grade. , but they are all very good, and their writing is prettier than me."
Dabao is the eldest child here. He is one year older than Xiaobao and is in the second grade. He is the eldest brother.
The little rice **** were the first time they ate winter melon candy. They chewed softly and sweetly. The foodie like rice **** fell in love as soon as they ate them.
"Mom, this winter melon candy is better than the white rabbit. Can we ask Dad to line up to buy some?"
Su Xiaoxiao was chatting with Liang Hongfang, and when she heard the rice ball, she squeezed a piece and put it in her mouth.
Liang Hongfang said directly: "You don't have to buy it. Our unit has a lot of them. Zhenzhong and I have both. You can take a copy and eat it back then."
Liang Hongmei is actually quite a generous person, but she is dragged down by her unsatisfactory elder brother and younger brother. She has to get some money and tickets to subsidize her mother's family every month. The conditions of her mother-in-law's family are not bad. I'm sorry for the old Su family, my aunt is so generous, even the big padded jacket and pencil case are willing to buy Dabao, this winter melon candy is nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao was about to say to stay at home for Dabao and Xiaobao to eat, but before she could say it, a sharp voice sounded from outside the door: "Yaoshou, such a good winter melon candy, I don't have any big eggs in my family. After eating one grain, you **** actually want to eat it for outsiders, if Lei Gong won't kill you, you unfilial daughter, I will kill you first!"
Hearing this voice, Liang Hongfang's face changed, and Su Zhenzhong's expression was not very good.
The cubs have winter melon candies in their mouths, and their cheeks are bulging like little hamsters. They stare at me and look at Dabao and Xiaobao. The meaning is obvious: "What's the situation?"
Dabao's face that was still very excited just now collapsed instantly, because he felt ashamed and a little red, and whispered: "My grandmother, came to move our house again."
When Hongmei Niang entered the door, she accidentally pushed Su Xiaoxiao, so scared that the cubs hurriedly protected their mother behind them.
The rice ball was angry, and stared at Hongmei Niang with his hips on his back: "Why are you pushing my mother, you old woman!"
Zhuzi and Doubao also looked at her angrily.
Xiaobao knew that Dabao's grandmother was not a good person, so he pushed him directly: "My aunt has a sister in her belly. Do you pay for it?"
Only then did Liang Hongmei remember Su Xiaoxiao's pregnancy, and pulled Su Xiaoxiao to look around: "Xiaoxiao, are you alright?"
The family's most precious sister, if anything goes wrong, the whole family can't spare her.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "I'm fine."
Hongmei Niang looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "Yo, so it's my in-law's sister-in-law? I'm sorry, I see that you are so bright and beautiful, you won't do something like this old woman robbing melon candy, right?"
Liang Hongmei blushed with anger: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you just come here two days ago? Why are you here again?"
Hongmei Niang glared at her unsatisfactory daughter: "What do you mean by this? I can't come to my daughter's house yet? How can I know that you are hiding so many good things if I don't come up? Your brother and brother's children even You can’t even take a bite of the meal, you are quietly hiding so many good things, do you still have a conscience?”
The only daughter in the family, Su Xiaoxiao is loved by thousands of people, the whole family dotes on her, Liang Hongmei is the whole family who oppresses her, they all feel that she is married to the son of the captain, the husband and wife are dual workers, the conditions are good, one by one She used her mother as a gunner like a vampire, and wanted to squeeze her dry.
What can her mother do? I can only swallow my anger and say, "You go back first, I will bring you some past when I go back to the second day of the first year."
Hongmei Niang sneered: "I've come here, won't you let me go back empty-handed?"
In fact, Su Zhenzhong has long been unable to bear it, but he has always been afraid that Liang Hongmei will be difficult to do, and it is not easy to tear his face with an old lady, but today this greedy mother-in-law has bullied his sister, and he can no longer bear it: "You still want to How about it? Are you willing to evacuate our house?!"
Hong Meiniang was stunned by Su Zhenzhong's roar.
On weekdays, this son-in-law doesn't talk much. Every time she comes up to make a noise, she doesn't give up until she achieves her goal. He focuses on his daughter. She thinks that her daughter has already pinched him to death.
What's going on today?
Liang Hongmei was stunned. Her husband was gentle and polite, and he didn't speak loudly on weekdays. She quickly pushed her mother out: "Mother, Xiaoxiao is here, how do you want me to behave in my husband's house in the future? Don't do this, can you? ?"
Hongmei Niang reacted and pointed at Su Zhenzhong's nose and scolded: "It's the opposite of you, how many rich people looked at my daughter back then, if you didn't come to the door again and again, I would have married my daughter. You poor bastard? My daughter is not better than marrying you if she just wants to marry someone from the city? You're here to smack me in the face, right? Huh?"
Su Zhenzhong clenched his back molars hard, and his emotions that had been suppressed for many years burst out instantly: "Yes, if I had known that she had hidden a nest of vampires as big as you, I wouldn't dare to marry you even if you paid me money, I could marry me if I was so poor. up?
My parents finally helped me finish high school. I have worked for so many years, but I have never cut a few pounds of meat for my own family, have not paid a few bucks to my parents, and have never bought a piece of clothing for my parents. My nephew five He's old, I haven't even bought a pencil for him, and I'll let Hongmei post all the money and tickets to your family of vampires, isn't it enough? Now even my nephew and nephew eat the winter melon candy issued by my unit, do they have to report to you before they can eat it? "
Su Zhenzhong has always been gentle, but now his eyes are red, and every word he speaks is filled with hysterical depression and despair. It is conceivable that he has really reached the point where he cannot bear it.
He had never spoken to his family for so many years. Everyone in the village envied him for marrying a city person like Liang Hongmei, and thought that he was expensive because of the Yue family, but who knew he was selling such a Yue family?
It is said that it is difficult for an honest official to judge housework, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Su Xiaoxiao finally understands it now. She has always been puzzled. The income of the elder brother and elder sister-in-law is obviously not low, but they really rarely bring anything home. Here, Dabao is not rich, and the couple themselves are also very diligent and thrifty, not the kind of people who are big spenders. The reason is here.
Liang Hongmei covered her face and cried, and kept saying sorry to Su Zhenzhong.
It was also the first time that Hongmei Niang saw her son-in-law's ghostly appearance. She was still organizing the language to see how to retort. Su Zhenzhong said directly: "I've been sucking blood from our body for so many years. Is everything enough? In the future, Hongmei If you dare to take a penny or a ticket from your mother's house, I will immediately sign a divorce with her, and Dabao will follow me. I sincerely hope that you will find an inexhaustible wealthy family. Poor people like me can't afford it. You family, I will do what I say!"
divorce? Hongmei Niang was shocked. She couldn't imagine that this son-in-law who seemed to get along well on weekdays would actually mention the word divorce.
It's true that she was partial to her two sons, but she didn't really think about ruining her daughter.
She knew that her son-in-law was determined and didn't dare to do it again. If she really ruined her daughter's marriage, she would run back to her parents' house to eat her, and she would be the one who suffered, so she scolded and left.
Liang Hongmei was crying, and Dabao was crying while hugging his mother.
Su Xiaoxiao patted Liang Hongmei's back: "It's okay, sister-in-law, what my elder brother said is for your mother, not really wanting to divorce you. It's not a way for your mother to always affect your life like this, and it's not good for Dabao's growth, isn't it, eldest brother?"
Su Zhenzhong's expression slowed down: "Hongmei, what I said is for your mother, but also for you. If you want to live with me, you should think about how we will live in this small family in the future. Our old Su The family is not a big deal. I have never wanted to do everything so as not to make it difficult for you, but I seem to be wrong. You can't understand it at all, and you have never planned for our family. I really can only endure this. Now, if you don't change it, I can't live this day anymore, so let's get a divorce."
Liang Hongmei raised her head and looked in disbelief at this man who had been with her for more than ten years, from junior high school to high school, from high school graduation to work, to marriage and having children, and she knew what he said. It was true, and it had reached the bottom line of his patience. They had quarreled countless times over her family's affairs, and had fought with mud countless times. For the first time, Liang Hongmei felt really flustered.
