Just a quick calculation, you are a fugitive!

Su Mao looked down, took out one cigarette and handed it to Su De, and then opened another cigarette: "Didn't you say before that your master's 70th birthday was coming? You were worried that you didn't have money to buy a gift, so I happened to bring this one with me. Turn around. Just buy some fruit.”

As he said that, he handed over another half of the cigarette: "You keep this half for smoking. Don't be so frugal during the New Year and the holidays."

Su De waved his hand: "No, no, I don't smoke now."

"Are you not smoking? You don't have money to smoke."

The fourth brother's family has six children. Because the first four are girls, they finally gave birth to twins, so his wife went to have a sterilization. Even if you make good money as a carpenter, you still have a hard time living.

Unlike him, although he was the eldest brother, the family planning control in the village was strict in the early years. He was taking advantage of the situation and did not dare to commit crimes. When the limelight passed, there was no news about the couple's pregnancy. Therefore, they could only Three children, two boys and one girl.

Su Mao couldn't help but think of Ah Hua again.

In fact, Ah Chen’s second child was a boy, and there was no need to have another child in the first place, but Ah Hua just listened to his parents and wanted to tie Ah Chen up with more children...

When Su Mao sighed, his wife Lin Chunjiao came out.

"What are you talking about? Food is ready, hurry up and eat."

"Oh, okay."

Lin Chunjiao saw half a cigarette in his hand and one and a half in Su De's hand. Her face darkened, but she turned around and entered the house without saying anything.

When Su Mao entered the room, she pinched Su Mao's ears.

"You are very generous. That pack of cigarettes costs at least two or three yuan, and this half pack costs ten or twenty. You just threw it out without saying a word."

Su Mao snatched his ears back and laughed dryly: "Gillian, Ade is my brother, not an outsider."

Lin Chunjiao was angry: "I'm not an outsider... I asked him to take A Liang to be an apprentice even if he didn't want to, and he said he's not an outsider."

"Didn't Ade say that? He has to ask his master for permission to accept a disciple. His master is superstitious and used A Liang's horoscope to calculate, which is inappropriate."

"Do you believe this nonsense? If you ask me, that's the excuse he made."

"No, don't you know what kind of person A De is? Don't be angry. I heard that there are many people recruiting workers in the city. I will take A Liang to look for them after the year. People who work in the city work in offices. It’s better than a carpenter standing around doing hard work all day, don’t you think?”

Hearing this, Lin Chunjiao sighed: "Okay, let's eat quickly. We'll talk about Ah Liang later. After all, he has to have a good job, otherwise it won't be possible to get married."

A Liang will be 20 after the Chinese New Year. People in Niuwei Village get married early. A Ming, the child of the old Zhang family, got married at 17. His wife is already pregnant. She sees that she will be able to have a grandson next year. This is what Lin Chunjiao is worried about. reason.

Su Mao sighed.

Where is the reason for work? The main reason is that I have no money.

The old Zhang family spent three thousand to marry their daughter-in-law. He and Gillian had worked hard over the years and only saved more than four hundred. It was too difficult to find a daughter-in-law.

Not to mention, if A Liang really wants to get married, he won't be able to get married in this shabby house.

Thinking that Su Mao didn't feel good about eating anymore, he grimaced.

On the other side, Su Chen returned home, and Liu Chunhua had returned happily. She took off her coat and was cooking. Honghong obediently helped light the fire, and old man Su was washing A Peng's dirty coat.

"Dad, I'll come, I'll come. It's very cold and the water is very icy."

Liu Chunhua tasted: "Ah Chen, mom did the laundry first and you didn't mention water ice."

Su Chen was startled, then nodded with a smile: "Mom, it's my fault. When I make money later, I will buy you a washing machine so you don't have to wash it by hand."

In the memory of the original owner, the eldest daughter of the village head of Niuwei Village bought a washing machine at the beginning of the year. It was green and had two tubs. The left side was for washing clothes and the right side was for spinning clothes. It was very useful.

Liu Chunhua immediately waved her hands after hearing this: "No, no, that thing costs more than a thousand. Mom has been washing clothes all her life, why would you spend that wasted money? If you really have this money, you might as well buy yourself a coat every day. Just wear a sweater, it looks cold.”

Su Chen looked down and smiled.

"Mom, I'm not cold."

You have already started to practice, why are you afraid of the cold?

Besides, the original owner actually owned a leather coat, but the leather coat got dirty after falling down before and was washed by Liu Chunhua. It has not been completely dried yet.

"It's neither cold nor cold. If you feel cold and uncomfortable later, you'll know it's serious." Liu Chunhua went over and dragged him to the stove to make him blush. "Help Mom make a fire and keep warm."

Honghong was very happy: "Dad, I'm looking for my little brother to play with."

"Ayun is awake?"

"Uh-huh."

In the evening, Liu Chunhua stewed two eggs for a rare occasion, and the children were very happy with their mouths full of soup.

However, Old Man Su frowned the whole time. Su Chen asked when he saw this, and Liu Chunhua waved her hands quickly: "Don't worry about your dad, he was born like this."

Old man Su glared at her and smiled at Su Chen: "Dad, it's okay, just eat."

At this look, it doesn't look like everything is okay.

But it seems that dad doesn’t want to say it.

Su Chen didn't intend to force him, so he simply buried himself in his porridge.

After finishing the meal and washing the dishes, Liu Chunhua had neatly wiped the child's face, hands and feet clean. She also picked up charcoal from the stove and put it into a bamboo hand-warming basket. She threw one to Old Man Su, carried the other by herself, and Going to a neighbor's house.

When Old Man Su saw this, he stopped her: "Why are you coming over so late? There's no charge for lighting a lamp?"

"You care about me?!"

Liu Chunhua turned around and went out, turning back to glare at Old Man Su.

Old Man Su felt helpless for a while, so he simply turned off the lights at home and went back to the house.

Su Chen watched all this silently, and went back to the house, took out the hatchet and started carving a little man.

Honghong and the others were playing with Ayun, and they came over curiously.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"Making wood carving."

"Wood carving, what are you carving?"

"Carving a little man."

"Wow, is Ayun so small?"

"Yeah, but not as fragrant and soft as Ayun."

"Yeah, my brother smells so good~"

...

The child went to bed early, and soon fell asleep on the bed without energy.

Su Chen put down the hatchet, carried Honghong to the next room, and then opened the door, and saw old man Su hurriedly wiping tears. Su Chen was startled and asked in a low voice: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, the child is asleep?"

"Yeah."

"Then I'll go over and carry him together."

Su Chen tucked the child in, and secretly glanced at old man Su. Seeing that he had recovered, he went back.

After he finished carving the figurine and was ready to go to bed, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

This brain!

Hey, the original owner's father is celebrating his 60th birthday this year.

According to custom, on the birthday, all children and grandchildren will come back to celebrate with him, but now the eldest brother and the fourth brother have a bad relationship with their parents...

It seems that I still have to go to the eldest brother and the fourth brother before the New Year.

The next day, Su Chen got up early as usual to go to town, but he didn't take the bus, but went to the market to find Su Xiaoyan.

"What do you want?"

Su Xiaoyan was busy and asked subconsciously when she saw the figure. After a long time without hearing the voice, she looked up and was surprised: "Little brother?"
