Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 131 500 Yuan Family Home

"Listen to what I tell you..."

Li Muyang didn't expect to be away from his second sister's house for a long time. As soon as he arrived at the house, he caught up with a couple quarreling, and the quarrel was quite fierce, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Just as he was thinking about how to go in and persuade him, he saw the door being opened, and his second brother-in-law Zhao Tianxiang rushed out angrily. When he saw Li Muyang, he was stunned for a moment, said nothing, and ran away quickly.

He is a physical education teacher. Once he starts running, most people really can't catch up.

Li Muyang was not in a hurry to chase him.

He started the car, touched Fangfang's head, comforted the child, and entered the room.

There was a broken thermos bottle on the floor in the room, smashed to pieces.

There are also some fragments of porcelain, possibly teacups.

The second sister, Li Xiangxiang, was sitting on a shabby old-fashioned sofa, staring blankly at the door, her eyes dull. Tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes, but she did not wipe them away.

Seeing Li Muyang suddenly come in, Li Xiangxiang's eyes changed.

She stared at him blankly, probably thinking she was seeing a hallucination. It wasn't until Li Muyang sat next to her that she realized that her brother was real. She wiped the tears from her face and asked softly, "Muyang, why are you here?"

Li Muyang was a little embarrassed.

He and this sister are indeed not very close.

In my previous life, I lived in different counties and cities, and there were relatively few interactions unless there were major events.

Unlike his younger brothers and sisters, he raised them all, so their personalities are very familiar.

His sister is older than him. When she was at home, she didn't think much about getting to know her. When she left home, she became even more of a stranger.

This is completely different from the two or three brothers and sisters in later generations.

They know each other well.

"I'm going to the hospital to see my mother. I stopped by to see my second sister. My mother is going to have an operation. Do you know?"

"Ah, it's tomorrow. I thought it would be next month."

When Li Xiangxiang heard about her mother, her expression finally changed.

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the doctor needs some time to recuperate. The specific time depends on our mother's recovery. I was thinking that the second sister has been busy with work, but my mother is in the hospital. If she can find time to go and see her, she will definitely come. Happy."

"Recently, students have just passed the high school entrance examination. I thought that I would go to the hospital to stay with him after finishing my work. Alas, I didn't expect to encounter such an annoying thing."

Li Muyang hesitated for a moment, then asked softly: "Sister, you and your brother-in-law..."

"Well, after all, I don't blame your brother-in-law for being angry. It is indeed my problem."

"Oh?"

Li Xiangxiang glanced around the room and said bitterly: "You have also seen that your brother-in-law and I live in a dormitory like this. The family of three can't change anything, so we have been thinking about having a bigger house."

"Well, yes, this house is indeed a bit small."

"In our school, we have the idea of ​​building a family home for working parents. Each family only needs to contribute 500 yuan, and they can be allocated a two-bedroom apartment with a courtyard. Your brother-in-law and I work both, so there must be a quota for this...

Originally, we had saved some money, which was definitely enough to pay the 500 yuan, but recently, something happened to a classmate in the class. Her father lost money in gambling and actually accepted a 300 yuan gift from someone else. Marry your child directly to an old man in his 40s..."

Li Muyang frowned upon hearing this.

I also felt a little angry.

In fact, this kind of thing is really common in this era.

Many girls are married off by their unconscionable parents as soon as they graduate from junior high school, perhaps even before they are 16 years old at most.

But what is the difference between marrying and selling?

After charging so much money from others, the children had to go even if they didn't want to go. They didn't consider the children's life at all.

Just like what the second sister calls a parent.

He only saw the gambling money his children got from going out, and how could he imagine that a teenage boy would live with someone older than his father for the rest of his life.

It's totally disgusting.

He vaguely understood what the second sister wanted to say.

And what she did.

"That child is only 15 years old this year. His academic performance has always been very good. He will definitely be admitted to high school. He will definitely be successful in the future. He will have the opportunity to step out of our mountains and become a golden phoenix flying out of the chicken coop.

Unexpectedly, he encountered such a disaster. For the child, it was like a bolt from the blue.I am the child's class teacher. Seeing that she was not in class, I went to visit her home and learned the news.

What's deplorable is that the parent took the gift money from others and squandered it all, leaving him with nothing.Seeing that the child was about to be taken away... I, I had no choice but to temporarily help the child with the money so that she could return to school..."

Speaking of this, Li Muyang was also helpless.

How do you say this is right or wrong?

In future generations, some people may laugh at the second sister as a teacher because her family lived like this and instead gave the money to others.

Pure Holy Mother psychology.

But the actual situation is that these days, there are really many teachers like the second sister.

The same thing happened to Li Muyang.

It's just that he really couldn't afford the expenses for three children at the beginning. As a result, his son's class teacher paid his son's tuition for one semester and allowed his son to live with a relative of theirs without rent.

It can be said that he is very caring and a very good teacher.

But having said that, there is nothing morally wrong with the second sister’s behavior, but it does harm the family.

Especially the brother-in-law.

The salaries of teachers these days are very low, and the two of them together probably don’t earn much.

The teacher has no land, so he has to spend money to buy food and clothing.

It's really not easy to save some money.

Now that the second sister has taken it and given it to someone else, it is definitely normal for the brother-in-law to be angry.

Anyone else would be angry.

Moreover, he seemed to have heard his brother-in-law say outside just now that his sister didn't even discuss it with him when she advanced money to others, which was even more outrageous.

How can one person make the final decision on the money that the couple has saved?

Even if the flowers are sent to your own home, you still have to discuss them.

Not to mention spending it on others.

"Sister, the matter has already happened. You and your brother-in-law should talk it over. Why are you still quarreling? You are both teachers. If you quarrel like this, it will not be a joke if others see it.

You see, Fangfang is frightened. Parents quarreling will make children fear marriage.Since you are all educated people, slowly talk things over and find solutions..."

"I also know this truth, but your brother-in-law is so angry that he doesn't even listen to my explanation."

"Then you regret it now?"

Li Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment and shook her head. "There is nothing to regret about this. I will definitely still be like this if things happen again.

I am her teacher and head teacher. How can I stand by and watch when a child is being pushed into a pit of fire at the age of 15?If I really don't care, then what qualifications do I have to stand on this three-foot podium to educate others and let children know loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness?

Besides, if I didn't know, it would be fine, but now that I know, if I don't care about it, how can my conscience go through it? I'm afraid that this matter will become a huge stone that will always weigh on my heart, even if I will soon reach the age of octogenarians, and it will be difficult for me to escape. "

Li Muyang couldn't understand some of the second sister's words.

The Chinese teacher is amazing and always talks in the same way.

The reasoning was explained very clearly, leaving him completely speechless.

He had no choice but to change his angle.

"Second sister, there is definitely nothing wrong with what you did. What I mean is that you can do what you can and discuss it with your brother-in-law before it happens.

In fact, your brother-in-law may not completely oppose you, but men are all face-saving. If you just cut it off first and then show off, will your brother-in-law feel that you don't respect him at all?

The money at home was saved by the two of you together. Even if you want to help your students, you have to convince your brother-in-law first, otherwise this situation will happen. You have helped others and hurt yourself, but it is not the same as Nothing was done in the end. "

"Well, the matter was urgent at that time, and I...I couldn't help it...Besides, I don't know if your brother-in-law can agree to it?"

"Sister, this is your fault."

Li Muyang smiled bitterly.

"Think about it, why did you choose to do this behind your brother-in-law's back? Are you subconsciously worried that your brother-in-law will know about it and won't let you do it, right?"

Li Xiangxiang didn't admit it, but she didn't object either.

Silence is the clearest answer.

"Subconsciously, do you feel that you are more generous and willing to give up when it comes to taking care of students?
On the other hand, since you are on guard against your brother-in-law and hiding it from him, that means you think your brother-in-law is unwilling or reluctant to let go?
Well, your brother-in-law definitely can't bear this. He may also feel sorry for the money, but what makes you even more angry is that in your heart, he is such an unbearable person. This is the most intolerable thing for a man. "

Li Muyang's words stunned Li Xiangxiang.

It was difficult for her to deny her brother's words.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case.

If you present yourself as too great, it will reflect your husband's weakness, but in fact, your husband is not that kind of person.

No wonder the husband said he was not respected.

She definitely knows far more than her brother, but her mind is relatively simple. She focuses on the education and training of students, but does not pay enough attention to and understand her family.

This is why many teachers’ children are prone to problems.

There is a limit to a person's energy and love. If too much is put outside, less will be invested at home.

Therefore, the more those who work outside need to release love and care, they will become very tired and numb once they return home, and it is easy to ignore the feelings of their family members.

Li Muyang heard these things from his son-in-law.

"Sister, now that the matter has come out, the top priority is to ease the relationship with your brother-in-law. You must apologize to your brother-in-law properly and promise that if similar things happen in the future, you must wait for the two of you to discuss it before making a decision together.

Also, there is always a limit to things. Even if you want help, you don’t have to give it all. The money you gave is indeed a bit much.

After all, aren’t you very relaxed now? "

Li Xiangxiang felt guilty in her eyes when she heard her brother act like this.

"Oh, you're right. I did not think things through properly... Then sit down first while I go out to find your brother-in-law."

"I'll go and clean up the room."

"Okay, he must be sitting in the corner of the playground, drinking alone."

"Okay, I'll go take a look. By the way, I brought you some food and stuff. You can pack them away, sister."

"Ah."

After Li Muyang came out, he saw Fangfang still sitting pitifully on the steps, so he squatted down and gently touched the child's head, "Fangfang, it's normal for parents to be angry. In the kitchen, when we bump into each other, there is always a sound, right?

You are now a little adult. When your parents are angry in the future, you should comfort them. But even if you quarrel, they will love you. Don't be afraid. If you obey, you can go to your uncle's house to play when you have a holiday. We have many Fun stuff. "

"Really?"

The truth passed by automatically, and when she heard the play, Fangfang's big eyes finally lit up.

"Of course. There is a very well-behaved puppy at my uncle's house. Your seventh aunt's Nuan Nuan is also at my uncle's house. Moreover, there is a mountain of peach blossoms where you can play hide and seek and run around chasing birds. It’s fun.”

Zhao Fangfang's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if the beautiful place her uncle had described to her appeared in front of her eyes.

"Well, I'll go."

"Okay, now go in and help your mother clean up the room. I'll go find your father and come back."

Zhao Fangfang's parents are both teachers, so she speaks semi-Mandarin and calls her parents both mom and dad, unlike other people who call them mom and dad.

From her, we can see the change of times.

It has reached a point where it is very close to future generations.

Li Muyang comforted his niece and followed his second sister's instructions to the school playground.

Fortunately, the school has just finished the high school entrance examination and is still on vacation, so there are only a few people playing basketball on the playground.

Li Muyang walked more than half a circle along the edge of the playground, and found Zhao Tianxiang next to the bunker for the triple jump.

There was a bottle of beer beside him.

The bottles of beer these days are very large, with a full 750ml. If you drink one bottle, people who are not good at drinking will be confused.

Li Muyang walked over and sat next to Zhao Tianxiang.

He shouted: "You are drinking, brother-in-law."

"If you don't have a conversation with your sister, why are you here?" Zhao Tianxiang said angrily as he picked up the bottle and took a big sip.

"I said so."

Zhao Tianxiang looked at him again and said nothing more.

The two of them looked at the students shooting in the distance in silence, and didn't speak for a while.

"Brother-in-law..."

"If you act as a lobbyist for your sister, you have nothing to say. I'm fine."

"Ha~, what kind of lobbyists are you talking about? They are all family members. Aren't you and my sister the same?"

Li Muyang smiled.

When the two men were talking, he didn't have so much to hide.

Besides, Li Muyang actually understands his brother-in-law. He is not a difficult person, but he is a bit sensitive and easy to care about. Overall, he is not bad.

Hearing what Li Muyang said, Zhao Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, and his expression softened a lot.

He sighed faintly, "Mu Yang, tell me about your sister. She still sees me as a man. When she does things, where does she put me? Do I just treat me like air and ignore her?"
