Harmonious home

Chapter 30
In the summer of 2004, I returned to my hometown in Sichuan from Guangdong. My son and I rented a shop on the street. I mended clothes, and he bought a motorcycle to pick up people and see them off to supplement the family expenses. It is simple and can maintain the family’s expenses. , I feel that such a family living together, although not rich and powerful, but it feels pretty good that the family can live happily together.Sometimes I help the children with their homework, and sometimes I play tennis with them. Sitting around with the whole family feels quite fulfilling.But just when I thought life was so ordinary, and I was happy to be able to live comfortably without worrying about the world, an accident happened.

One day, I was helping others to mend clothes in the store when I suddenly received a call from my husband’s fifth elder brother, saying, “Sister-in-law, come to Tangshan Hospital as soon as possible.” I asked in confusion, “Why are you going to the hospital so well?” His fifth brother said: "My sixth brother bumped into an old man who was being treated in the hospital by bicycle, and I want you to bring some money over here immediately..." Before I could finish speaking, I closed the door and rushed to the hospital. I kept praying in my heart: God bless, please don’t let anyone die, my family is not rich, if something happens to my uncle, our family will not be able to look up in this lifetime..." Thinking of this, I was very anxious, After getting out of the car, I made three steps into two steps and ran straight to the hospital.

When I first arrived at the entrance of the hospital, I saw an old man lying there moaning in pain, with blood everywhere on his clothes and pants. I thought the old man Liu Zi had bumped into was him. I was so frightened that my legs were so weak that I thought, Oh my god!How can this happen? How can it be better if people are like this?Oops, why is this Liuzi riding a bicycle? Do you want to live in the future... Thinking of this, just as he was about to walk past, Liuzi and his brother came up to him. When they met, they asked: "Did you bring the money?" I nodded. , pointed to the uncle next to him and asked: "Is it just him? How did you send him to the hospital?" Liuzi shook his head and said: "It's not him, it's not that serious. He was upstairs. The uncle fell by himself." I asked urgently. : "Is it serious?" "It shouldn't be serious. The doctor just finished the examination and suffered some skin injuries on his feet and legs. He will be fine after just two days of rest." My nervous heart stopped beating so much.He scolded Liuzi in a low voice and said, "Why don't you be careful? This money was reserved for the two children to pay their tuition fees. Now that they are better, I will give it to you." Liuzi explained: "It's not all my fault. The uncle is so cruel." I was crossing the highway to sell vegetables. I just turned and hit the uncle before I could brake in time. The car was not going very fast." He pointed to the vegetable basket with several handfuls of Tengteng vegetables next to him.I said, "What about the uncle? Is his family here?" "Upstairs, he said that he was alone. He just called his nephew and his wife, and he didn't know if they would come." As we said that, we all went over. Going upstairs, the doctor is prescribing medicine for the bandage.

After a while, his nephew's wife came and hurried upstairs and asked: "Uncle, how are you? Are you serious?" The uncle limped out of the back room and said, "It's okay, just a little skin injury." "Have you checked? "After the examination, the doctor said there is no big problem. Just go home and rest for two days. It's not entirely the boy's fault. This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been busy selling vegetables across the highway..." "Seeing that the uncle took the initiative to admit his fault, Liu Zi felt that he was still a sensible person, so he asked the uncle for his opinion whether he should agree to keep it private. The uncle discussed it with his nephew-in-law and agreed. In this way, the medical expenses for the examination and medical expenses for the day were removed. The uncle asked He was given an additional compensation of 300 yuan, and fortunately, the matter came to an end after a false alarm.

From then on, I felt that it was not safe to give this job to someone who was riding a motorcycle, so he changed his career to learn how to repair motorcycles.

After a while, we took our two children and transferred schools to the town, where we found a storefront to repair motorcycles. However, we were unfamiliar with the place and the business was sluggish. It was only enough to support our family. Although life was tight. , but as long as we can accompany our two children to school, it is a blessing for the family to live together safely and healthily. Although we usually have some minor frictions with our six children, we try to avoid the noise between the two children and try not to cloud their hearts. Bad shade.

On this day, I was busy in the store, and my younger brother hurried to my store and said to me: "Sister, can you call dad and ask me when my household registration will be available? I am about to take the high school entrance examination, and the teacher said I don't have a household registration by then. Even if you pass the exam, you still won't be able to register..." I squeezed the money in my pocket and comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I will ask dad to handle this for you. Just study with peace of mind and try to pass the high school exam. " Little brother nodded, looked back at me step by step, opened his mouth as if to say something but hesitated to speak.I looked at his leaving back, my nose felt sore, and I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. I thought, children of his age were originally the happiest years, but now that he is here, it is really hard for him. Alas, too Blame me, the eldest sister, for being incompetent. If he had extra money, he wouldn't have to bear the extra pressure to study.Sigh... Thinking about this, I feel angry and helpless. I feel that my younger brother is about to enter a higher education and the matter of registering for residence is imminent. I can't put it off again and again. This time, I must allow my younger brother to devote himself to his studies no matter what.Fortunately, I called my father's phone number, and he readily agreed and promptly sent back more than 1 yuan. After finding an acquaintance to help me, I finally got my brother's household registration, and he was admitted to high school as he had hoped. This disease in my heart is finally settled.At the same time, it also made me realize that there is no financial crisis. The happiness index of a family is not just a matter of registering the children. The key is to have a certain economic foundation and give them room to grow. Not only that, but more importantly, the couple can If we share weal and woe and trust each other, without either of them, this family will be on the verge of collapse and disappear. This is something I didn’t realize before. For example, what happened next broke almost all my cognition and almost broke me. A home built with years of hard work.
