The road to get rich through salted fish

It was another New Year's Eve, and this was Liang Feng's fourth year here.

At this moment, he has a charming wife and young son, and a wealthy family. It seems that his life has completely reached its peak.

When he woke up in the morning, according to the usual practice in previous years, Liang Feng went to the Liang family's old house with the New Year's gift. As soon as he approached the door, he smelled a very disgusting smell coming from the yard.

He lowered his head, and saw a lot of chicken droppings on the two steps at the door, as well as dried up shit marks. He shook his head, without any extra emotion, stretched out his long legs, and stepped over.

The door was half-closed, he knocked several times, but he didn't hear a response, so he simply pushed it open, walked in, and shouted as he walked, "Father, are you home?"

As a result, as soon as he entered the yard, he stopped shouting. His father was sitting on a chair under the eaves, basking in the sun comfortably with his eyes closed?

Tsk, are you still putting on airs with him?

Liang Feng raised the corners of his lips and smiled. The past two years have been terrible. Old man Liang's hair has almost completely turned white, and his face is covered with senile plaques.

Seeing Liang Feng standing beside him without speaking for a long time, the old man Liang couldn't help himself, opened his eyes to look at him, and asked a little unhappy, "Hey, look who this is, Boss Liang, Member Liang, do you still remember that you have a father?"

"I don't want to remember, but I can't let my annual pension of 12 taels of silver be given away for nothing, right?" Liang Feng snorted lightly, speaking forcefully, without leaving any room for it.

"you you……"

Old man Liang suddenly trembled with anger, his mouth kept moving, ready to scold him, but he had some scruples and couldn't say it.

He was just angry that Liang Feng had been back for more than ten days, and had visited all the elders in the village, but he never thought of coming to see his father, which made him lose face and feel bad.Therefore, he couldn't help but say a few bitter words, but he never expected that Liang Feng would be so tough now, and he couldn't bear any grievances. Just because of such a sentence, he would directly use pension money to gag him , to threaten him.

Liang Feng picked up a chair and sat down.

Seeing that the old man still looked troubled, he laughed lazily, "You are not young, I advise you, don't get too angry, otherwise, if you don't pay attention, you will end up like your mother , that would be bad."

The tone of this sentence was not high, and it sounded soft and not convincing at all, but it succeeded in calming Old Man Liang almost instantly.

No one knows better than the old man what old lady Liang's current situation is.

Since he had a stroke that year, he could only rely on others for lying on the bed, eating, drinking, and sedating. The others can only be Liang Rong's wife, Xiao Li, and his two daughters-in-law. But if these three are reliable, Liang Rong They would not steal people to the point of being sent to prison. The two brothers Liang Yaowen and Liang Yaowu would not be nearly 30 years old, and they would hang out all day, even on New Year's Eve.

It was okay at the beginning, Xiao Li still felt a little guilty towards the old lady, and was afraid that if old man Liang thought she was not dedicated and filial, he would drive her back to her natal family, so it took a bit of effort, but she also tidied up the old lady. It is clean and the service is comprehensive.

But she is a lazy person, and she doesn't even want to do her own business. How can she have the patience to face such an old woman day after day.Besides, after a long time, she also realized that old man Liang didn't care about the old lady at all, otherwise, when he saw her having a stroke, he hurriedly moved to another house, and never set foot here again Once, never asked a good or bad.

That being the case, she indulged completely, except for watching the two meals a day deliver food to the old lady, stuffing it in her mouth, and occasionally thinking of it, taking her to relieve her hand, she never cared about anything else.

Liang Feng still remembers that during the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year, her big sister Shaking M came to her mother's house to give a gift, and he happened to be there, but he didn't have the heart to see the old lady, so only Liang Cao'er went in by herself, and when she saw the old lady The appearance of the wife, she just came out and cried, scolding Liang Feng and Xiao Li while crying.

Seeing her like that, Liang Feng knew that Mrs. Li hadn't taken good care of the old lady. He must have done something bad, so he went over and stretched his head to take a look. That scene was truly unforgettable.

At that time, the summer had just passed, and the weather was still a little hot. I couldn’t tell what the smell was in the whole room. Flies kept buzzing. I don't know how long it has been since it was changed, and the old lady hasn't been scrubbed for many days, so all kinds of pimples have appeared on her body, and it will probably rot if it takes more time.

Although the old man didn't care about the old lady at all, when he saw such a scene at first glance, and then thought of his current age, which could be regarded as his old age, he couldn't help feeling a bit sad, and his expression changed drastically, turning pale.

Tsk, even Liang Feng is still deeply impressed by that scene, let alone the old man Liang who is so close that he can almost see the future at a glance?

Also since then, old man Liang has aged day by day, and time seems to have accelerated on him.

A gust of wind passed by, and the clouds above his head moved a bit, the sun was firmly covered, the warmth was gone, and a bit of chill unconsciously spread over his body. Old man Liang pulled off the torn cotton coat that was hung on the back of the chair, and tightly Wrapped in the cover on the body, quietly, no longer speak.

Liang Feng's body was full of anger, and he didn't feel much. He continued, "Father, you know what's going on with us now. The clan elders and even the whole village know it, but no one came out to say anything more, so you don't have to Too much attention to those details, we live in the world, just live well, don't force too much, people must be content, otherwise the bamboo basket will be empty in the end, it will be bad."

After the voice fell, the yard was silent for a while, only a wisp of cooking smoke continued to rise from the kitchen chimney, regardless of the changes in people's hearts.

Old man Liang gave a vague "ah" and said softly, "You really have no patience at all now, you don't even want to perfunctory my old man."

Hearing old man Liang speak in such a tone, Liang Feng felt a little ridiculous for some reason, as if he was easy to bully and could be soft and crushed by him.

"I'm no longer the Liang Feng I used to be. You'd better not have any expectations that you shouldn't have," Liang Feng said, and then he really smiled softly, "Also, you, you should be polite to me. Point, don't repeat it again and again, like an ignorant child, making me unhappy with such trivial things, as you said, I really have no patience now, if it happens again, I will be afraid of you for the rest of your life It's hard to be safe!"

Old man Liang turned his face to stare at him, all kinds of emotions in his heart were constantly churning. He was taught by his parents when he was young, he was taught by the elders after his parents died, and now he has been reduced to being taught by his son.

At first he didn't have the confidence to refute his parents, then he didn't have the guts to refute the clan elders, and now he still doesn't have the ability to refute Liang Feng.

The wife who insisted on marrying at the beginning was paralyzed on the bed like a person, and a ghost like a ghost; the eldest son who gave the most high hopes was imprisoned, his legs were damaged, and now he can't walk easily, and his life can almost see the end; The two grandsons who love him the most are lazy by nature and have nothing to do all day long. They just want to cheat his pension money and go out and squander it.

In his whole life, looking at it from the beginning, he was really a complete failure. He almost achieved nothing, except...

"I can still give birth to your son, I really can't figure it out?"

Old man Liang looked at him, and suddenly burst out laughing. He couldn't stop his tears from streaming down his face while smiling. His whole facial expression was especially distorted.

However, looking at his crazy appearance, Liang Feng felt neither sad nor happy, nor did he feel sorry for him at all. The former Liang Feng was gone and disappeared forever in this world. Who is qualified to take pity on his behalf? Forgive instead of him?

Neither can he.

When Liang Feng got up to leave the Liang family's courtyard, he saw Liang Rong, who was just coming out of the room to pour water for a drink with a crippled leg. They are all extremely out of place.

Liang Feng didn't take another look at him, and he didn't pay attention to the hesitant expression on his face when he saw himself covered in fine clothes. He just glanced at him lightly, just another passer-by in his life.

After lunch, the sun was just right, so Meng Chun and the others moved a few tables and placed them in the yard. Ever since Xiao Shitou and the others went to the academy, the Liang family's Spring Festival couplets have been written by themselves. There are not many literate people in the village who can read them. Not many people understand the meaning of couplets, so the little guys are very active and enthusiastic, not afraid of embarrassment at all.

Of course, Yunchen is undoubtedly the one who writes the best every year. His current knowledge and ability are far ahead of his peers. He is a magical boy. Sometimes Liang Feng sees how talented he is. Extraordinary, intelligent and capable, he couldn't help but wonder what his son's biological parents were like, to give birth to such an excellent child.

Hahaha, no matter what, it's his son now, and it's really a big deal for nothing. If he was himself, he would definitely not be able to give birth to such an aura baby.

From the corner of his eyes, Yun Chen caught sight of his father smiling strangely, and felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart. He quickly stretched out his hand and patted him, "Father, what bad things are you thinking about?"

Liang Feng's expression drooped immediately, and the joyful mood just now was gone. He stared at him and said, "Can you talk, kid?"

"It's a normal question, Dad, you can also write it yourself. After all, you have been forced to practice calligraphy for several years, so you should come out and make a fool of yourself!"

"Show your ugliness!" Bao'er was smart about this matter, and also came up with a smile.

"Grandpa, I also want to see you write."

……

Seeing that the little guys were so enthusiastic, Yun Qing also booed and went forward to pull Liang Feng's sleeve, jokingly said, "Hurry up, don't let my master lose face!"

"Yes, I would like to obey the teacher's order."

Liang Feng shook his head helplessly, smiling dotingly.
