"Second brother~"

The second child was staring at the crowd in a daze, not knowing where his mind was wandering, until his mother called him back to his senses.

I quickly walked over to the old lady, "Hey, mom, what's the matter?"

The old lady didn't want to say it directly, because it must be very uncomfortable to see the second son with a crooked neck. If she let him go directly, she didn't know how he would scold her behind her back.

To say that we are inconsiderate to him is an understatement. He is so petty that his mind is not even as big as the eye of a needle. If you ask him to do any work at this time, he will not only be nagged for several days, but also be rolled eyes at from time to time.

"I see so many people here, when will it be our turn?"

The second brother didn't think so much just now, he was just looking at the people and the water. The yamen runner was quite impressive. If he could wear that kind of clothes, he would outshine them all.

"Yes, I watched for a long time and nothing happened. There are too few boats and too many people. Even now, we may not be able to get down the mountain at night."

The old lady looked at the wooden head and wished she could open it to see what was inside. Why did he have to make things so clear?

I can't scold him directly, so I have to talk about it in a roundabout way. If it really doesn't work, let the eldest brother go.

"It would be great if I could get down there earlier. Maybe I could eat something different. Eating those wild vegetables every day has turned my face green."

"It's definitely better to live at the foot of the mountain than on top. There's not such strong winds, and it's not so cold."

The second son felt that what his mother said made sense. It was much more comfortable at the foot of the mountain than on the mountain. Not to mention whether there was food or not, just the fact that they could cover themselves with a blanket at night without feeling cold was much better than here.

But everyone in the village wants to go down early, otherwise there wouldn’t be such a long queue.

As he looked at the villagers, he sighed and his stomach growled.

Although I had just had breakfast, I didn’t feel hungry at all. I rubbed my stomach and didn’t want it to growl again.

"Mom, do you have any good ideas? We can go down earlier."

The old lady happily showed her two rows of gums. He really hit the nail on the head. She couldn't let him see her smug look, so she quickly covered her teeth with her upper and lower lips while he wasn't noticing. After several attempts, she finally stopped smiling.

Others thought that the old lady was not in a good mental state, so she sneaked away from them and walked away.

He pretended to think and was silent for a while. He asked the question himself, so he shouldn't be angry. He pointed at the person at the front of the line.

"Why don't we go ask them if they can let us get on the boat first."

The second brother felt that this was inappropriate. People had been waiting in line for so long, so how could they let others cut in?

"Mom, I won't agree."

The old lady was a little angry, but she didn't show it all. She was still hoping that he would ask about it. If he scolded her directly, she could ask, but there would be no good result if she was unwilling to do so. So she had to patiently persuade her.

"How do you know if you don't ask? There are elderly people at home who can't walk well. There is also a stretcher. You can't fake it. Just ask them if it's okay. What if they agree? Besides, asking can save you a lot of money."

The second child thinks this is a waste of time and energy, while the mother thinks everyone else is a fool and only she is smart.

He stretched out a finger and pointed at himself, somewhat unhappy.

"Mom, please let me go."

The old lady rolled her eyes at him. She was lying on a stretcher and he had carried her several times. She didn't know if her legs were still usable, yet she actually asked such a question.

"Is it possible for me to go?"

The second son then understood that his mother either simply wanted to chat or was indirectly asking him to ask others if he could cut in line. He didn't want to do such an embarrassing thing.

Besides, it had only been a few hours since Fugui's incident, and those people didn't have a good impression of my mother to begin with, so it would be extremely difficult for her to cut in line.

What a silly thing the mother is. She always thinks of something and this time she doesn't even say it directly. She is playing tricks on her son.

The old lady was a little impatient. She had said so much until she was dry-mouthed, but the second child didn't move. Why didn't they listen to her?

I didn't bother to talk to him nicely, so I just yelled, "Are you going or not?"

Everyone's eyes were on the old lady, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

She felt that this was all the second son's fault and glared at him angrily. If he had just gone away, none of this would have happened. It was embarrassing for her as a mother. Why did she give birth to such a child? He always pushed her around to do things but he just wouldn't move.

The second brother looked a little embarrassed.

"Mom, it's not that I don't want to go..."

The old lady didn't say a word, just stared at him.

The second brother really had no choice. After all, she was his mother, and he had to listen to her. He just had to ask.

"Okay, I'll go."

The old lady smiled happily, the wrinkles on her face became deeper, and she nodded with satisfaction.

The second brother was about to get up and walk away with an expressionless face, but he turned around again. Because his neck was sprained, he couldn't just turn his neck, so he had to take some effort to turn his whole body around.

"Don't blame me if no one agrees."

The old lady thought that those people were quite afraid of her, and if they didn't want to be scolded, they should just get out of the way. The power of scolding was something that everyone in the village, young or old, had seen, and they probably didn't want to experience it.

It also gives them an opportunity to show sympathy to the elderly, and no one would refuse to do so.

He was standing there proudly, with his neck raised up to bask in the sun. In such cold weather, he needed to bask in the sun to feel comfortable.

The second brother accidentally bumped into him while walking through a crowd of people. He nodded and bowed, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

I finally walked to the front of the line.

"Brother, can you do us a favor?"

The man looked up and saw that it was the second brother. This guy didn't have a good reputation. He was lazy and gluttonous, and he even flirted with the widow and asked him for help. He was too lazy to deal with him. He was sure that something bad was going to happen.

Let's just listen to what he says.

"What's going on?"

The second son forced a smile and glanced at his mother.

The old lady nodded cheerfully in response.

The second brother rolled his eyes in his heart and said with a stiff face, "My mother is old and her legs and feet are not flexible. I am afraid that if she waits too long, she will catch a cold and get sick. You also know that there is an epidemic here. I wonder if we can discuss it and let us go on the boat first."

Before the man could answer, the people behind him became unhappy. If it was a respected person in the village who came to cut in line, they would agree. But who is that old lady? She is a fly that eats shit and is annoying to everyone. Letting her cut in line is just wishful thinking. Dream on.

"Hey, second brother, he agrees, but none of us can agree to it, so don't ask."

"That's right. Just because of your words, your whole family has lined up ahead of us. We have been waiting here for a long time."

"If you are lucky enough, then everyone should move to the back and be careful not to get into trouble."
