Late at night on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, my father finally came back. As usual, everyone stayed up and watched TV and warmed up by the fire, waiting for him.

When the father, carrying his bulging canvas bag and half a bag of oranges in a snakeskin bag, pushed open the courtyard door. At the same time as they heard the sound, the three brothers rushed to open the door of the main room and ran to

Go to the courtyard gate to meet your father.

The three brothers surrounded their father and affectionately called "Dad..."

Mu Yi took the canvas bag on his father's shoulder and put it on his shoulder. Xiaojie took most of the bag of oranges from his father's hand and held it in his arms.

The father, who had both hands free, held Brother Jun with one hand and lovingly stroked Brother Jun's head with the other. As he walked into the main room, he asked: "How did you do in the exam?"

Xiaojie said: "I did okay in the exam." Brother Jun didn't say anything.

Father said: "If you do well in the exam, there will be a reward." The three brothers all thought that he would follow up with the second half of the sentence: "If you do poorly in the exam, there will be a punishment." They all muttered this sentence silently in their hearts. However,

, what’s strange is that my father didn’t say this part for a long time.

The four father and son soon walked into the main room. At this time, the mother had already simmered the ear pot on the stove, and the food left for the father was being heated in the pot.

Entering the main room, Father let go of Brother Jun's hand, walked quickly to the kitchen, and closed the door of the kitchen. Immediately afterwards, a loud sound of urination came from the kitchen.

When my father came out, the first thing he said was: "Oh, I'm finally free. I felt like peeing on the train."

Mother took over what father said: "You didn't know you solved it on the train?"

My father smiled and said: "Oh, you don't know, it's so crowded today. Let me tell you, it's really too crowded on the train. People are so crowded that it's like a valley. Even your feet can't stand it."

I couldn’t find a place to get off. What’s more, everyone was carrying large and small bags of things into the house.”

Mother: "Brother Jun, quickly bring the chopsticks and bowls to your father. Eat your food first."

Father took the bowl filled with steaming food with a smile, held it in his hand, sat on a long bench, put his feet on the stove to make a fire, and poured a large bowl of food, soup and water into the wind.

Eating everything.

After my father had finished eating, my mother picked up the dishes and washed them.

Father, he took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette, lit it up and took a puff. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. He quickly took out another cigarette and handed it to Mu Yi.

Mu Yi did not take the cigarette his father handed him. He looked at his father in surprise. Then he said, "Dad, I don't smoke."

Father: "Oh, let's go on. Now that you are working, you have grown up and can smoke." After saying that, he turned to look at Xiaojie and Brother Jun, and said to them: "You are still young.

But you are not allowed to smoke like adults."

I saw Xiaojie and Brother Jun nodding their heads like chickens pecking at rice. Both of them said: "We promise not to imitate adults in smoking." Only then did the father nod with satisfaction, and then took out his hand and prepared it.

The cigarette given to Mu Yi was put back into the cigarette case.

At this time, the mother took over the words. "Let me tell you, what's the point of that cigarette? You spit it out after taking one sip, and the butt of the cigarette was lost. There were ash everywhere, and your teeth were blackened.

.People still cough a lot. It’s a waste of money and bad for the health.”

Regarding this "smoking" issue, my mother kept talking about my father. In her opinion, smoking has no benefits at all, but has a lot of disadvantages. The biggest disadvantages should be "wasting money" first, and secondly.

It means "bad for your health."

Hearing his mother scolding him, his father also began to "defend himself." From the communicative function of "cigarettes are bridges, wine is roads", to the fact that smokers are less likely to be bitten by mosquitoes, and to the fact that cigarettes are bitter,

When a man smokes, he feels lonely. He works outside and has nowhere to talk to when he is tired and miserable. Smoking a cigarette relieves fatigue. It not only eliminates fatigue, but also boosts the spirit... Anyway, it has a lot of "benefits".

In the end, the core meaning is "I only smoked two cigarettes with the money I earned. Why do you talk so much when you are living with a mother-in-law?"

Okay. It was just such a "cigarette" problem. Unexpectedly, it became the "fuse" that triggered the "conflict" between father and mother. From everyone waiting for father to come home with great expectations, to father really

is back. From the time we stepped through the threshold of the main room to the time we started arguing, it was less than an hour.

Now it's better. The atmosphere of the New Year has been diluted by the increasingly fierce "quarrels" between my father and my mother.

Mu Yi and his three brothers were all stunned. They were frightened by the sudden "sunny turning to cloudy", no, it should be "sunny turning to stormy" scene. They neither dared to persuade their father, nor did they dare to go

Please advise Mother. Because their "experience" from childhood tells them that whoever "persuades" at this time will definitely become the "victim" of their quarrels, from being scolded for reading and writing homework in exams to watching TV and talking about pigweeds.

Taking a bath and catching fish... In the end, there was no doubt that they must have been severely beaten. But the three brothers still didn't understand how it was originally the adults quarreling with each other, but in the end they ended up being beaten.

In fact, the three brothers have long been accustomed to being used as a "poop" by adults. After being beaten, they got used to it. After being beaten, they grew up.

However, with the awakening of Mu Yi's self-awareness, he felt that he had suffered such noisy days. He was a little angry. He knew that although on the surface it was a war caused by "a cigarette", in reality it was because of

One word is "poor". Because of poverty, the Chinese New Year is originally a day for family reunions, but it is also a "grand event" for rural people to "compete for clothing and money".

The mother was already crying with snot and tears. "She has had enough of this kind of life for a long time. When we first got married, I was looking forward to the land being distributed to each household. When the land was distributed to each household, I was looking forward to it."

I was looking forward to having a child. I waited until the child was born. I was looking forward to raising the child quickly. But I didn’t expect that the child was here and the land was not allocated. The land was not allocated. This family has big and small mouths.

I have to eat when I open my eyes, even if I don't eat even one meal. I haven't solved the problem of eating yet, I have started studying again, and I have to worry about tuition fees. Alas, I see that my children have not grown up yet, but I am getting old.

.When the children grow up, they will have to worry about marrying a wife and building a house... But when will this life of poverty come to an end? Why did I marry you blindly in the first place?

Mu Deqian? If you haven’t eaten well, and you haven’t worn good clothes, your whole life will either revolve around the stove or the pig pen; if you don’t revolve around the corner of the field, it will revolve around your father-in-law.

.In the end nothing transferred to one..."

The three brothers, who were frightened into silence by their mother's cries and their father's silence, were already at a loss. The two brothers sneaked off to sleep cautiously and somewhat secretly.

Mu Yi's anger had silently turned into sadness. He hated himself for not being able to do anything anymore. He just stood there in embarrassment, not wanting to go or not.

At this time, my father spoke: "You should go to sleep too."

Mu Yi was a little relieved, but also a little worried and said: "Then you should go to bed early."
