Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapter 76 Assignment of Work

Xiao Ruoyan's uncle came over with a smile on his face and said, "Now that you have a son-in-law in the city, you must have a good life with the help of your son-in-law.

So if you take out some food and money to honor your father and mother, there should be no pressure on you. "

Xiao Ruoyan heard this and said, "Although my husband is my father's son-in-law, it is impossible to help my father all the time.

I only help him when he is in trouble, so his life is not as good as you imagined. "

Seeing Xiao Ruoyan like this, Xiao Ruoyan's uncle said, "Although you are married now, you are no longer our Xiao family.

But it is also thanks to our Xiao family that you can grow up well. You are married to someone else, why don't you remember the kindness of the Xiao family? "

When Father Xiao heard this, he also said, "Whether my daughter and son-in-law are willing to help me is also my business. It is not your turn to dictate this matter.

Anyway, it is impossible to give you food and money, so you should go. "

When Xiao Ruoyan's uncle heard this, he said anxiously, "The current harvest is not good, and I am the only one working in our family, and there is little food.

This way can't support a family at all, you are also a child born to your father and mother, do you just watch the two of them suffer from starvation? "

Xiao Ruoyan's uncle was the most loved by his father and mother.

His father and mother not only gave many good things in the house to Xiao Ruoyan's uncle, but also lived with them just to help Xiao Ruoyan's uncle.

But no one thought that Xiao Ruoyan's grandfather would not be able to work in the fields after being ill, which made their family become so difficult now.

In addition, his son had to ask them for money and food, which further exacerbated the difficult situation of their family.

Father Xiao felt a little relieved when he heard this. After all, his parents gave birth to him and raised him.

He said that he had only been kind to his younger brother since he was a child, but he didn't miss anything. It was just that he went too far when the family was separated.

Xiao Ruoyan saw that her father was about to be moved by her uncle, so she said, "Father, don't forget how grandparents treated our family since my cousin was born.

Especially when the cousin got good grades in school, how did the grandparents treat the two brothers.

If the two brothers hadn't been hit by their grandparents, they would have continued to read.

It is especially a pity for the second brother. After all, when he was in junior high school, he had the best chance of being admitted to a technical secondary school.

They were beaten by their grandparents, saying that they would never be able to surpass their cousin in this life, and they were also told that studying would be a drag on the family, so the second brother did not study and stayed in the village all his life. "

When Xiao Ruoyan's uncle heard this, he couldn't continue to speak, after all, he knew about it at the beginning.

But he chose to acquiesce, because he knew that only after his two brothers' children stopped studying, his brother would choose to subsidize his children's education.

Later, after the children of his two elder brothers stopped studying, with the help of his parents, his elder brother chose to subsidize his children's education. Otherwise, how could his family afford to send his children to high school? ?

When Father Xiao heard this, he frowned slightly and said to his second son and eldest son, "Is it like this?"

Xiao's father didn't understand this matter, he only knew that his eldest son and second son suddenly didn't want to study, and no matter how much they asked them, they were unwilling to say it.

Especially when the second son was unwilling to study, it broke his heart. After all, at that time, he really tightened his belt and borrowed a lot of money from the village to send the two brothers to study.

Xiao Zhengdong heard this and said, "Yes, our grandparents told us these things at the beginning, and told us that if the two of us study, our family's situation will always be like this."

When Xiao Zhengdong said this, he could feel the unwillingness and a trace of hatred in his words.

At that time, he only thought that he could reduce the burden on his family by not studying, and then he would go to the team early to earn work points to help his family.

It’s not that he doesn’t know the importance of studying, but he just feels so sorry for his parents. When he borrows money from other people, he is very tired every day.

If he was asked to choose again, he would definitely not make the original choice again.

Because only by studying can you completely live a really good life in your family, but it is too late now.

When Xiao's father heard this, he immediately understood why his children never liked their grandparents. It turned out to be because of this reason.

I always persuaded myself not to give food to my grandparents, and I even scolded their own father and mother for being their own grandparents, how could they not care about it?
When Xiao heard his daughter tell the story, how could he not understand what his parents really thought.

He never thought that his parents would be so biased that they would ruin the future of their two children just so that he could support his nephew.

They are obviously their grandsons, why are they so partial?
At this moment, father Xiao's dissatisfaction with his parents reached its peak.

Father Xiao said angrily, "It would be better for our two families to move less frequently in the future, otherwise when I see you, I will think of the futures of my two sons that were ruined by you."

Xiao Ruoyan's uncle already wanted to leave after hearing this. After all, Xiao's father was already angry and might even beat him up.

But Xiao Ruoyan's aunt didn't think like this, "Father and mother are right, your two children's grades are not as good as my son's. Isn't your two children's studies a drag on the family?
It's better for our two families to work together to surrender my son. By then, both our families' faces will be bright.
Moreover, my son's moral character is very good. He will definitely remember his uncle's kindness to him in the future. You will definitely be blessed with my son taking care of you in your later years. "

The two brothers Xiao Zhengdong and Xiao Zhengbei were the most dissatisfied when these words came out.

They have always held grudges against their grandparents for persuading the two of them not to study.

Now my aunt said this again, it was like adding fuel to the fire.

And the core point expressed by Xiao Ruoyan's aunt was nothing more than saying that the two of them would not be as promising as their son in the future, and that his father could not count on the two of them.

But the most excited person was Xiao's mother. After all, he was the mother of her two children. She actually never knew the reason why her two children did not study.

At this moment, she suddenly felt how ridiculous her previous filial piety was. She thought that the reason why the two children's grandparents were nice to her nephew was just because the nephew was indeed promising.

But now she understands that this good thing has been good since she was born, and this good thing also comes from the different attitudes towards the two families.

Mother Xiao couldn't help but said angrily when she heard this, "Get out of here, you two, from today onwards, you two are no longer welcome in our family."

Xiao Ruoyan's uncle panicked when he heard this. He also wanted to rely on his brother and sister-in-law to help his family until his children could read.

My child is still a year away from being able to read. At this time, he must not be in such trouble with his brother and aunt's family.

And wouldn't it be good to put this matter of Xiao Ruoyan in the future?Why do you want to talk about it now?

Xiao Ruoyan's uncle wanted to say something more when he heard this, but he was beaten by his sister-in-law with a broom and was speechless.

"Go away, you are not welcome in our family."

Xiao Ruoyan's uncle still wants to struggle again

"If we have something to say, we should talk about it carefully, but we must not hurt the harmony."

When Father Xiao heard his brother say such shameless words, he said to his two sons, "Why are you still standing there! Why don't you quickly help your mother drive these two people out."

When Xiao Zhengdong and Xiao Zhengbei heard this without any ambiguity, they immediately got started, and they moved a lot of hands and feet when they pushed their two uncles out.

Xiao's father looked at his sister-in-law who was still in a daze and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Do you want us to invite you out?"

When Xiao Ruoyan's aunt heard this, she quickly walked out of the Xiao family's yard in fear.

She didn't want to be tricked like her husband. She was the one who could clearly see the heavy tricks.

Xiao Ruoyan's uncle touched his waist and said, "These two bastards are really tough! They don't respect their elders at all."

Xiao Ruoyan's aunt doesn't care about her husband's appearance
Instead, he was concerned about his son’s lack of money and tickets in school, and how he could live on. “What should I do now? Our son will come back soon and ask us for money and food. We can’t give him. He's going to make trouble again."

Xiao Ruoyan's uncle heard this and said, "Mom and dad still have some old guys, let's give that to our son first.

I believe that father and mother will not refuse, after all, they dote on our son so much. "

Xiao Ruoyan's aunt heard this and said, "It can only be like this."

Seeing his second son come back, Xiao Ruoyan's grandfather asked, "Have you got food and money yet?"

Xiao Ruoyan's uncle said, "No, on the contrary, the eldest brother also knows about the fact that you destroyed his sons' confidence and made them unwilling to study.

It was also because of this incident that they completely wanted no more contact with our family. "

Xiao Ruoyan's grandfather was a little panicked when he heard this, he never thought that it was his second son who would take care of him in the end.

Moreover, his grandson would be successful in the future, and the panic in his heart completely calmed down.

But Xiao Ruoyan's grandma didn't think so. Although he was partial to his second son's family and his second son's son.

But in her heart, she still felt sorry for the eldest son's family. After all, they forced the eldest son's family to move to the next village, and the sons of the eldest son's family had no future because of them.

Xiao Ruoyan's grandmother said, "Now that the eldest son knows about this, he will definitely hate us, and we don't have the face to see our eldest son."

Xiao Ruoyan's grandfather heard this and said, "So what if he knows, I am his father after all, he must listen to me.

And what we told their son back then is also true, their child is indeed not as promising as our good grandson. "

Xiao Ruoyan's uncle said, "But now the eldest brother refuses to support us, and we can't give food or money to your good grandson.

By that time, your good grandson will no longer be able to study in school with peace of mind.

Once you can't study in school with peace of mind, you won't be able to live in the city and have a job in the future. "

Xiao Ruoyan's grandfather said worriedly when he heard this, "Then what should we do? Our family has no food or money now!"

Xiao Ruoyan's aunt heard this and said, "Didn't you still have a sum of money?

Use this money for your good grandson first. "

Xiao Ruoyan's grandmother heard this and said, "How can this be possible? This is the coffin book of your father and I. Once it is given, what will your father and I do after we die?"

Xiao Ruoyan's aunt said, "Aren't there still two of us after you die?"
And when your grandson becomes successful in the future, you don’t need to worry about these things at all.

I heard that an engineer's salary can be hundreds of yuan a month. Are you still afraid that your grandson won't be able to save a coffin book for you? "

Xiao Ruoyan's grandfather and grandmother were completely overwhelmed when they heard that the engineer could earn hundreds of yuan a month. You must know that they don't have so much money saved.

At this moment, a young man wearing a windbreaker walked in, and the young man's shoes were also valuable.

Seeing the young man walking in, Xiao Ruoyan's aunt said happily, "Why are you back now? Don't you usually come back in a few days?"

This person is Xiao Ruoyan's cousin Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi dodged his eyes when he heard his mother asking about this, and then poured a bowl of water and said, "This is not asking for leave from school, just to stay at home for a few more days.

By the way, I still have money for the food my mother gave me. Are you ready? "

When Xiao Yi's mother heard this, she glanced at her father and mother and said, "It has been prepared for a long time, right?"

Xiao Yi's grandfather and grandmother looked at each other when they heard this, and in the end it was Xiao Yi's grandfather who said, "It's all ready, and I'm just waiting for my good grandson to come home and get it.

By the way, dear grandson, where did the windbreaker and shoes you are wearing come from? "

Xiao Yi heard this and said, "My windbreaker instructor gave it to me, he said I have a very high talent in this area, and he is very optimistic about me.

As for my pair of shoes, they were given to me by my classmates in order to beg me to guide them. "

When Xiao Yi's mother heard this, she said happily, "I knew my son was the most promising. It's not like what Xiao Ruoyan said."

When Xiao Yi heard this, he suddenly remembered his very beautiful cousin and said, "My cousin, what did she say?"

Xiao Yi's mother said, "He said that your grades plummeted after you went to college, and he also told us that there is a subsidy for going to college, and there is no need for food and money at home."

Xiao Yi looked a little abnormal when he heard this and said, "Really?"

Xiao Yi's mother said, "He is a person who didn't even pass the college entrance examination, and he didn't even go to high school. How could he know what's going on in the university?"

When Xiao Yi heard this, he said, "Yeah, how could she know what's going on in the university?"

……

Xiao Ruoyan's father said to Li Lin, "I made you laugh."

Li Lin heard this and said, "Every household has its own endless sutras."

Father Xiao sighed when he heard this. What he hated the most was why he didn't understand why his son didn't want to study.

If anyone knew anything about it, his son would never be able to make a living on this day like he is now.

At this time, Xiao Ruoyan and Xiao Ruoyan's sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were comforting their mother in the room.

Mother Xiao picked up her mood and said to Xiao Ruoyan, "Ruoyan, let's not discuss about your uncle's family anymore, and our family will never have any contact with them in the future.

By the way, do you and Li Lin have anything to do when you come to our house?Or if there is anything you need us to help with. "

After hearing this, Xiao Ruoyan remembered the purpose of her trip and said, "Li Lin and I came this time to choose one of my two brothers to become the apprentice of the projectionist in the factory."

When Xiao's mother heard this, it was too late to be sad. "Really?"

At this time, Xiao Ruoyan's sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were also paying close attention to this issue.

Xiao Ruoyan heard this and said, "It's true, but the projectionist is younger than my two brothers. I wonder if the two brothers will feel unwilling because of this matter."

When Mother Xiao heard this, she quickly said, "I'm sure you are willing. If you don't want to, I'll break both of their legs and make them both willing!"

Xiao Ruoyan's sister-in-law was the first to speak and said, "Your elder brother must be very willing to do this."

Xiao Ruoyan's second sister-in-law said, not to be outdone, "Your second brother is definitely willing, and more willing than your elder brother."

Seeing her two daughter-in-laws quarreling over this matter, Mother Xiao said, "This matter is not decided by the two of you, but by Ruoyan and Li Lin. They decide who will go, then it's up to you." Who will go?"

When Xiao Ruoyan's elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law heard this, they immediately did not dare to speak.

At home, Mother Xiao's majesty is still very heavy, and the two of them basically dare not contradict Mother Xiao, after all, their husbands listen to Mother Xiao very much.

At this time, Father Xiao asked Li Lindao, "What are you doing at our house this time?

Does your family need some help in the city? "

Hearing this, Li Lin said, "Nothing happened to our family. We came this time to choose one of my two uncles to be the apprentice of the projectionist in our factory, but I was a little scared. The two uncles couldn't accept it."

Hearing Li Lin's words, Li Lin's two uncles immediately became excited, but when they thought that there was only one position.

The excitement in the two people's hearts has been reduced a bit, because it means that the two of them will compete for this position.

When Father Xiao heard this, he said excitedly, "What's not to accept? Even if I break their legs, they have to accept it."

Li Lin's two cousins ​​immediately turned dark when they heard this, and they didn't know what to say.

But what Father Xiao said is indeed true. No matter what difficulties there are in this position, the two of them must get there.

Because this is not only about themselves, but also about their children.

Li Lin saw Father Xiao saying this, so he said, "The projectionist is younger than the first and second uncles. I don't know if the two uncles are willing to accept this?"

Before waiting for the two uncles to express their opinions, Father Xiao said, "What's the big deal? As long as I can learn a good craft, even if the object of study is a seven or eight-year-old child, I am willing to let my two The child goes to school.

Not to mention that this means going to the city to get a job from the public, so the two of them will definitely accept it. "

Xiao Ruoyan's two brothers heard this and nodded in agreement.

Although they were a little reluctant in their hearts, they knew that once they could learn the craft from the projectionist.

Then they must be able to eat the job of the public, which is very tempting for the two of them.

But now Father Xiao is in a difficult situation. The reason why Li Lin said he should choose one of the two individuals was because he wanted to give him the right to choose?

At this time, Father Xiao's two sons were also staring at him, hoping that Father Xiao would give them this opportunity.

At this time, Mother Xiao came out with Xiao Ruoyan and the others and said, "Did Li Lin tell you what he and Ruoyan are going to do when they come back?"

Father Xiao heard this and said, "That's true, but now I'm confused about who should learn which projection technology."

At this point, Father Xiao glanced at his two sons and could see the longing in their eyes.

Father Xiao finally chose the method of drawing lots, and the result of the draw was that Father Xiao's second son, Xiao Zhengdong, went to the city to learn projection technology.

When the results of the lottery came out, everyone in Li Lin's uncle could feel the unwillingness in his heart.

Li Lin's sister-in-law couldn't believe the result of the lottery, but it was done under everyone's watch, so no one said it was unfair.

And Xiao Ruoyan's second sister-in-law fell into great joy at this time, she never thought that she could live a good life in the city after only two months of marrying Xiao Zhengdong.

Both Father Xiao and Mother Xiao looked at their eldest son, and they could feel the pain in their eldest son's heart.

However, the two of them had nothing to comfort about this. After all, this matter was chosen fairly and impartially.

Li Lin's uncle saw the lottery results in his hand and said, "Congratulations, second brother, you must learn the skills well so that you can take care of me next time you come to our village to watch a movie. "

When Xiao Zhengdong heard his elder brother say this, he said, "Definitely."

After saying this, Xiao Zhengdong held the result of the lottery tightly in his hand. What he was holding was not just a small piece of paper, but his future life.

Seeing this scene, Li Lin said, "Second Uncle, you come to my house on Monday. I will ask the projectionist for leave that day, invite him to have a meal, and then introduce you to him."

Xiao Zhengdong nodded heavily when he heard this.

Father Xiao heard that Li Lin wanted to treat others to dinner, so he said, "How can you treat others to dinner for free? My mother, why don't you hurry up and get food stamps and money to give to Li Lin."

When Mother Xiao heard this, she hurried back to the house and took out the money and food coupons and handed them to Li Lin.

Li Lin quickly refused and said, "No need, isn't it just a matter of treating me to a meal?"

When Mother Xiao heard this, she hurriedly said, "You have introduced a job to my family, how can you still use yours for a dinner?"

Li Lin's second uncle also advised, "Nowadays, every household is not rich in food. How can you be asked to give food to others?"

Xiao Ruoyan also said, "Li Lin, please accept it."

Xiao Ruoyan knew that his family didn't want to take advantage of Li Lin. After all, just finding a job was enough.

If Li Linlai provided even the food for the guests, then they really didn't take other people's kindness seriously.

When Li Lin heard what Xiao Ruoyan said, he took the money and food stamps.

Afterwards, at the strong request of Xiao's father, Li Lin and Xiao Ruoyan had a meal at Xiao's house, and this meal was the best meal Xiao's family had eaten during this period of time.

Xiao's mother put away everything on the dinner table, looked at Xiao's father who was silent and said, "Why have you been like this since Li Lin and Ruoyan left."

Xiao's father heard this and said, "It's not because I owe Li Lin too much.

If Li Lin treats Ruoyan badly in the future, we really can't stand on Ruoyan's side. "

Mother Xiao made you laugh when she heard this, "I think you are just worrying about it. I think the relationship between these two children is very good. It is absolutely impossible for the situation you mentioned to happen.

Didn't you see how Li Lin protected Ruoyan when your sister-in-law wanted to beat Ruoyan just now? "

When Xiao's father heard this, he also felt that he was worrying blindly, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart about letting his son-in-law help him.

Although I did have such an idea at first, when I actually came, I found that I was not as excited as I thought.

After all, people in the village will say that the reason why the Xiao family is in its current situation is because of the help of his son-in-law.

But that's fine, since his son-in-law is not enviable by others.

Father Xiao said, "If I could understand the two of them well, why didn't I study.

Our family wouldn't have had the choice just now. The palms and backs of our hands were full of flesh. It felt bad to see whoever failed to make the choice. "

The thing Xiao's father regrets the most now is why he didn't understand the fact that his two children didn't go to school.

If you understand well, then the second child will definitely be able to enter the technical secondary school, so that the two sons in the family will have jobs.

There will not be such a choice like now, but fortunately the relationship between the eldest son and the second son is very good, and there is no gap due to the lottery.

Father Xiao's eldest son looked at his wife's dejected look in the room and said, "Isn't it just a job? As for this?"

Xiao Ruoyan's sister-in-law heard this and said, "Isn't it just a job, what you said is easy.

Isn’t the reason why we haven’t had children these years because we are afraid that we won’t be able to feed our children?
Now we finally have a job in front of us, but we are not sure about it. "

Speaking of this, Xiao Ruoyan's sister-in-law suddenly felt wronged.

It turns out that her sister-in-law was at home, which put a lot of pressure on the family, otherwise she wouldn't have thought about having a baby until now.

Now my sister-in-law is gone, but now is this time again, so I dare not have children again.

People of her age have basically had children, and the conditions in some families are even worse than hers, but they all have children.

However, most of the reason for all this was because food had to be given to Xiao Ruoyan's grandparents before, which prevented her from having children.

When Xiao Zhengbei heard this, he immediately felt sorry for his wife, but the reality is like this, it's not that he can change, he finally encountered the opportunity to change, but he didn't grasp it.

Although he was a little jealous in his heart that his second brother had won the lottery, he did not hold a grudge.

Because he knew that all of these were selected in a fair and just manner, and if he wanted to blame it, he could only blame his bad luck.

Compared with Xiao Zhengbei's discomfort and silence, Xiao Zhengdong's room is full of joy.

Wang Jiying was packing clothes and said to Xiao Zhengdong, "You are going to the city. You must work harder and faster. You must also respect your master. You must not neglect him, otherwise he will not show his true craftsmanship." When I pass it on to you.”

Xiao Zhengdong looked at Wang Jiying who was even more anxious than himself and said, "I understand everything you said.

But isn’t there still time tomorrow?As for cleaning up tonight? "

Hearing this, Wang Jiying said, "This matter must be well prepared, because this matter is a big matter for you, and I don't want any mistakes in this matter."

Wang Jiying is now very eager to bring this news to her natal family. At that time, her natal family and good friends in her village will definitely envy her.

Xiao Zhengdong looked at Wang Jiying like this and didn't continue to persuade him. Now his mind is full of life in the city.
