One night passed and it was a new day when I woke up.

When Mu Yi came, he found that the adults had already gotten up early. The two younger brothers had not yet gotten up. He secretly observed Master Ha's face, but could not see any sadness or joy from their faces.

Mu Yi's mood became a little nervous inexplicably. He poured water to wash his face carefully, and even walked as slowly as possible. He was afraid that he might offend the adults accidentally.

The atmosphere at home did not become warm and warm because it was New Year's Eve. Instead, it was a bit cold and depressing. It was so stressful that it made people feel a little breathless.

Just when Mu Yi finished washing his face and was about to wring out the washcloth and hang it on the clothes drying wire on the courtyard outside the main room, Xiaojie and Brother Jun had already run downstairs with a "dong dong dong" sound.

Xiaojie: "Brother, wait a moment."

When Mu Yi heard Xiaojie shouting "wait a minute", he quickly put the washcloth back into the basin.

Brother Jun rubbed his sleepy eyes and ran past Mu Yi and ran into the kitchen. After he had finished his urination, he wiped his face with the handkerchief Xiaojie had washed his face with.

At this time, his face-washing action was seen by his mother. Mother said something to Brother Jun: "You, you, you are too lazy to burn snakes to eat. When you wash your face, you are too lazy to twist your handkerchief, so you will just do it."

Xiaojie washed his face with a wet handkerchief and wiped it casually and it was fine. I was afraid that he didn’t even wash away the shit in his eyes.”

Brother Jun giggled like "Hey hey hey" and took the water and poured it. Fortunately, Mother just spoke and didn't do anything. Otherwise, Brother Jun would probably have to suffer some physical pain.

.This may be due to the Chinese New Year.

Muyi and Xiaojie also left the main room and came to the courtyard. They saw their father holding a pair of iron scissors and pruning the peach and pear trees beside the courtyard wall.

The three brothers gathered around.

"After the second, third and fourth days of the lunar month, I went to trim the branches of the apple trees in the two fields under the big rocks." My father said as he was cutting.

Xiaojie: "Dad, the apples in those two fields are not growing well."

Father: "The main reason is that there is no one to manage them. During those years when I was at home, I had to pick hundreds of kilograms of apples that year!"

At this time, my mother also came around. "I'm telling you, you're not happy. People say, 'The first month protects the head, and the twelfth month protects the tail.' But you are good. You can't find anything to do when you wake up in the morning, and you even use scissors."

, I cut this and that, and I’m not afraid of getting into a quarrel.”

When my mother said this, my father did not refute. Instead, he said "I know, I know. I won't cut it if I don't cut it off." When my mother walked away to do things, my father said.

The adult said to the three brothers again: "I don't have time right now. Why don't I take advantage of this little time to cut it? Then, when will I take advantage of the time to cut it? I will go back to Chengdu on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and I will welcome you on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

God of Wealth, people will open the market."

Yes. My father is so hard. He only has such a few days of rest throughout the year. The machines in the factory have to be stopped for maintenance and repairs throughout the year. But my father works harder than the machines. He is such a person who just wants to support himself.

A person who keeps working hard to raise this small family.

This short sentence may seem bland and gentle, but how much bitterness and helplessness does it contain? How many people know it?

Brother Jun: "Dad, you left on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Will mom still follow you?"

Children's words are unbridled, right? Only Brother Jun, a "newborn calf", dared to ask such a sensitive question. Muyi and Xiaojie are older, and relatively speaking, they are more "sensible".

Don't dare to ask.

My father was stunned for a moment, stopped holding the scissors in his hand, looked at the three brothers, and then sighed helplessly. "Oh, she. Let her do whatever she wants. It's fine whether she goes or not."

It seems that my father and my mother did not reconcile last night. The calm situation that I saw today, but ignoring each other, can already explain some problems. However, what is the problem? The three brothers have no idea.

I don't know. After all, that is a matter for adults, and children have no right to interfere.

The four father and son were surrounding the peach tree. The father was pruning the peach branches, and the three brothers were collecting the peach branches that had been cut off by the father. At this time, the mother seemed even more lonely.

She felt very depressed and sad at this time. Other people's families should be harmonious and happy, right? But her own family was so awkward. Originally, the family was now divided into three places. Before,

The eldest son is studying outside, alone in one place, the old man is working in another place, and he and the two younger ones are at home, studying and working. Although the family is divided into three places, it is still "

"Heart to heart". But since the eldest brother returned from graduation and went to work with the old man, the company changed from "three places" to "two places". When the eldest brother got a job, it changed from "two places" to "three places"

". After a while, if the second child takes the exam and goes to study outside, the family will be divided into "four places" again. Everyone is busy with their own things, and they are so busy that they don't know how to get along with each other.

The second sister from Chengdu specifically mentioned that matter again before she came back. She also specifically said that when her eldest son gets married on the eighth day of the first lunar month, she will arrange for the eldest son and her niece to sit together to see if they can

Can't match my eyes.

This is obviously a good marriage? But when I mentioned it last night, the old man was "unsatisfied" and said, "The baby is older and has his own ideas, but he doesn't have the ability anyway."

How can I help him? The marriage is entirely up to him." Even to the death, Leng refused to persuade the boss to accept the marriage. As for himself, he had already promised the second sister. The second sister also said so.

The news passed. How could I face my second sister on the eighth day of the lunar month? Where would I put my face?

If the old man doesn't talk, if he talks himself, he will definitely be rejected by the boss in just two words. As mentioned before, he refused even though he didn't have a job at that time. Now that he has a job, he will definitely not agree.

.

He is obviously pretentious, has no social experience, and does not know what is good or bad. What is so good about Zhongguozhuang? It is poor and miserable, and all of them are old Yi compatriots. A salary of several hundred yuan a month is enough to make a

What? Two trips a month, the fare is all spent, half of the salary, no food to eat, no clothes to wear. How can you still have money to get married and repair a house? Yes, the house problem is still a big problem

. If there is no land, where can I find a homestead for you? If you don’t have a homestead, how can you build a house? Then you have to buy it. Any house in the city gate is worth tens of thousands of dollars. It depends on him.

With a small salary, except for basic living expenses, and if you don't smoke, drink, or gamble, it will probably take you ten or twenty years to afford a house. That girl will wait for you for ten or twenty years? I'm just eating

What a big loss, marrying this poor old man. A lifetime of hard work, a lifetime of hardship, no good food to eat, no decent clothes to wear...

"Why don't you just sit around that peach tree and stop cooking? Don't you want to win the whole match?"

Mother's words suddenly awakened today's theme. Yes! Today is already New Year's Eve. I need to quickly replace the door-god couplets I pasted last year and cook New Year's Eve dinner early. Just like Wang Anshi wrote in "Yuan Ri"
