Seventy Little Heads

In the past, Li Si would go to see his precious little ox every morning when he woke up, and go to the chicken, duck, goose circle and vegetable field.

Now Li Si got up and cleaned the surroundings of the new house first, and then took a shovel to pile up the excess sand, stones, etc., and shoveled them into order.

After the new house is built, there is a banquet when entering the new house.

Although I won't live in it immediately, after all, I have to dry it a little bit.But on the day of the banquet when you move into the new house, you must move some furniture and put it in, and you can't leave the new house empty.

Early in the morning, Wang Xuan pulled the sleeping dog up, "Hurry up, we have to go to the county town to thank Uncle Liu and buy things. Hurry up."

Goudan's dream was interrupted, and he wanted to get angry when he saw Wang Xuan, so he got up sullenly, and was prodded by Wang Xuan several times before he finished tidying up.

"Really."

It can be seen that his buttons are not buttoned properly, but it can be seen that Wang Xuan has adjusted him again.

Li Si squinted his eyes and laughed, Xiao Xuan was so kind to his son, look, his son's temper made Xiao Xuan not afraid of him.

Li Si is very relieved, his son will not be alone in the future, and it is a good thing to have brothers to help.

I went to Liu’s house to see Aunt Liu and Liu Yuan. When I came back, I went to a department store to buy some things, and went to a furniture factory to buy two sets of tables, chairs and benches.Tomorrow it will be moved to a new house, and Li Si and the others will have a set, which is considered new at any rate.

Half a fan of pork, as well as other chicken and duck meat, are more abundant than when they were capped.

This is not the same as eating and drinking for free when entering a new house and capping the roof, so people have to be notified seriously.New friends, you can’t come empty-handed, after all, to warm the house for the master, you should either bring two catties of flour or one catty of rice, or a red envelope of two cents, three cents and fifty cents.How much depends on personal preference and intimacy with the host family.

Since it's not free food and drink, of course the food must be available, and it's not a shameless family who only accepts gifts but skips guests' food.

A few sisters-in-law and aunts were invited to help wash and cut vegetables, and they also invited the famous local "cooking spoon".

In order to save trouble, Goudan leaves it all to others, regardless of how much they can earn from the middle, it is worth spending a few more money if you can save some trouble.He doesn't have that much thought to do everything himself, isn't that exhausting himself?

Li Si already knew that his son was spending money "lavishly", so he closed his eyes and pretended not to know, otherwise, what else could he do?

Pulling plastic sheets to build a shed, I borrowed tables, chairs and benches from every household. The neighbors and folks in the clan came to help. No matter what kind of unhappiness and dirty things usually happen, they will go out to help a group on days like this. People in the village are like this, good people and bad people Sometimes it is not so clear.

The crackling firecrackers were lit, and the children were ignorant and bold. They ran happily when the firecrackers were lit, and wanted to wait for the moment when the firecrackers were burned out and rush over to find the unburned "fish that slipped through the net".

The dishes were served one by one, and someone asked Qizhi to help register the dog eggs in red envelopes, and also wrote down those who gave rice noodles. For such a big event, in the future, anyone who wants to enter a new house and marry a wife will have to return it. .

As the master, Li Si Goudan and Wang Xuan are very busy even if they are not busy. With Ming Guang and a few helpers, they can handle small things, but they have to make up their minds about big things.Because Goudan and Wang Xuan are currently the only college students in ten miles and eight townships, many people are willing to visit this relative, and they basically come when they are notified, so there are a lot of people.

Most people still have to be polite, either the head of the family comes alone, or at most a couple.But there are those who understand the truth and those who love to take advantage of the shameless ones. The last red envelope of a few cents turned out to be a family of seven or eight people who took up all the seats. In the end, there were not enough seats to sit, so they could only be divided into batches. This undoubtedly doubled the cost of meals for Li Sijia.

One banquet turned into two in the end, and only then did the people be entertained.

You can't get angry and gossip about such things, because they are here to "add blessings" to you, and you can't be angry on this day, otherwise you will be angry every day when you live in the new house.

Everyone knows well that they despise such a family in their hearts, but they can't say it.

I thought today would end smoothly like this, but I don't know who said, "God is so promising, he goes to college and lives in a new house, but his mother lives in a shed."

Then they all fell silent.

"What nonsense?"

"I ran away, do you know that people live in a shed?"

"Shut up, you, you can't stop your mouth even if you eat."

"Oh, let me tell you the truth. Isn't my sister-in-law's natal family in the same village as that bitch's family? She told me a few days ago when she came home. When his mother returned to her natal home, her sister-in-law wouldn't let her in. She had no choice but to set up a short They live in a shed..."

Gossip, everyone likes it, and it didn't take long for everyone to inquire and discuss it.Then Goudan's dumb mother-in-law went back to her natal home with a pair of children for help because of the death of the man, but was rejected by her parents and brothers. She couldn't help the villagers stuttering, so she picked up broken wooden boards to build a shed in the village. Everyone knows the story of relying on people's work for a stutter.

"It's been ten days since you came back, don't you know?" She actually wanted to ask Li Sijia if they knew.

"How could it be possible to know that Goudan's grandmother's house is so far away from our place? Normally, no one would have thought that she would be dead. If you don't mention it today, no one will know."

"Oh, what should I do. You can't ignore his mother, right?" He said something bad, but his face looked like he was watching a show gloating.

The others frowned when they saw it, and the news soon spread to Goudan's ears.

Goudan didn't know what to express for a while, he was stunned, he turned and looked at Li Si behind him, the other party also opened his mouth wide, even more confused than him.

Wang Xuan could only inquire, and finally came back and told Goudan, "It was your aunt's cousin and niece who said it. Her sister-in-law is indeed from the same village as your grandmother's." I just don't know why she chose this time to talk about it. , the villages that were originally far away rarely move around when they have nothing to do. After all, no one’s family is well-off now.

Today is a good day for Li Si's family, she really wants to say that she should talk to them in private, what's the point of speaking so carelessly?So that people who are still sitting at the table are basically discussing this matter.It can be said that the events of many years ago were put in front of everyone again, and everyone talked about it more vigorously than at that time.

After all, the Li Si family is not the Li Si family at that time.

"Have the dishes been served? Let them eat. They are full. Who should go back and clean up. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow." Goudan said this with a dark face, and the others looked at Goudan His complexion is not good, so he should do what he should do.

Goudan saw that Li Si was being severely beaten, winked at Wang Xuan, and then pulled Li Si to the new house.

The father and son sat on the new stools they had just bought, facing each other.

"Father, what do you think?" Goudan asked his father.

"It's not that time in our family now. Anyone can do whatever they want. Nowadays, there are many jealous people, but they have nothing else to do except use this matter to crush you. No one dares to talk nonsense in front of us."

Goudan continued: "But let me tell you, it's not your fault. It's nothing to be ashamed of. There are a lot of divorced people in big cities who can't survive. What's the matter?"

Li Si rubbed the creases of his face, his voice hoarse. "Father is not afraid of being ashamed. If you want to talk about losing, you have lost enough more than ten years ago. Dad is afraid that it will hinder you." It is always unpleasant to have a mother who runs away with a man, and her son is still a college student...

"Hey, what's the problem? Your son is still afraid of this now? Besides, it's our family's business, so it has nothing to do with other people!" Of course it's related, it's normal for gossip to kill people these days.

Li Si bowed his head and thought for a while, "Your mother also had a hard life, and she did heavy work every day when she was in her mother's house. After marrying, your father is incompetent and has no status in the family. Your mother, you nurse your aunt to beat and scold her father." I couldn’t get in the conversation either. But no one thought she would run away with someone.”

"She is your mother after all, so don't blame her." Li Si added at last.

"Then what do you think?" Goudan had an idea in his heart, but he wanted to hear Li Si's thoughts. He would not ignore his mother, but he had to take care of his father's feelings.

"Father, I don't know. Father thinks, let her stay at your grandmother's house. Your aunt is similar to your grandmother, and she will definitely not be able to survive."

Li Si looked around, the new house had just been built and he didn't live in it yet.As a man, the mother-in-law ran away, even if I didn't complain in my heart, I couldn't accept her back to this house without any grudges.

Goudan looked at Li Si's face, and tried to say, "Father, you said that you are quite old, and I am not at home often, and no one takes care of you. Before, I asked you to find out if there is a widow who is right for you." Yes, if you have good character, you can live with a partner, now I hear that my mother seems to be back, what do you think?"

"You don't have a problem with how you want to be a father." Li Si finally said with difficulty. After all, it was his son's mother. If, if his son took the woman back, he would have no choice. Isn't it natural for a son to miss his mother?

That's who he is.

Goudan sighed, "Father, don't you have any objections?"

The son didn't let himself worry much since he was a child. The tuition fees for going to school are all earned by them. Now the money for building the house is also earned by the son himself.My current life is really the same as in a honeypot, what else do I think about in this life?The son misses his mother, so if he wants to take it back, he can pick it up, and he just lives in the old house.

"Nothing to think about."

Goudan said, "Father, this is our home." Goudan went out after saying this.

Wang Xuan pays attention to this side at all times, and asks "how is it?"

"I'll tell you in detail later. Have you asked, what did that woman say?"

"It's probably true."

"Go and have a look tomorrow. Let's go eat first, the guests have almost eaten."

"Well, the dishes have been served a long time ago. When they go up, those people eat as if they were in a war. The meals are well served, and every table is the same. There will be no second serving of dishes for each batch of guests."

"That's fine."

When the people were almost done eating, Goudan Wangxuan began to see off the guests, and Ming Guang also organized people to leave.The women who wanted to stay and watch the gossip were dragged away by their own family members or others.

In the end, Goudan sent his elementary school principal and sixth grade teacher to take care of them.The old headmaster hadn't retired yet, so he pulled the dog and said, "Good boy, I have long thought that you are capable, and you have given our school pride."

Goudan and Wang Xuan sent people to the road with a smile, and turned around after watching them leave.

Goudan saw that the people were gone in a blink of an eye, and the remaining women were cleaning up the dishes on the table, and put away the table and stool, which had to be delivered to every household later.Clean up the rubbish on the ground. The excitement just now was completely quiet now.

"Brother Mingguang, set up two tables. We haven't eaten yet. Everyone has worked hard today, and I will keep it in my heart. Sister-in-law, bring the dishes from the kitchen. Everyone, let's go to the table for dinner. We must not be busy for a while." All day long, watch people eat on an empty stomach."

All those who came to help sat down at three tables, even the chef who was in charge of the spoon sat down to eat with his two apprentices.

Meals are real meals. Originally, they bought wine in the plan. Goudan originally wanted to reward them for their hard work, but now everyone is not in the mood to drink, and only eats rice.However, the dishes are very rich. Because some people came from one to seven or eight people at the banquet, they were divided into two groups, so I went to order half a piece of pork, which is equivalent to the meat of a fat pig today, as well as other chickens and ducks. Wait for the meat dishes.

After paying the wages, Mingguang sent the person away.The rest began to help deliver tables, chairs and benches. The owners of each table and bench gave small bowls of meat and vegetables. It was like frying meat and vegetables together. It was considered as a generous loan of tables and chairs.

After finishing the work, ask the people who came to help to share the leftovers in the basin and bring them back to the children to eat. "You're welcome, as for our grandpa, we can't finish these dishes for dinner, so just leave us a few and put them on our plates. Let's share the rest, or it will be spoiled and wasted."

"Fourth, fourth, you can't be confused."

Goudan wanted to roll his eyes when he heard the sound from a distance, he really can manage things.

"Father, grandma is calling you." Goudan doesn't want to see his grandma now, and seeing her like that makes her very annoyed to death.I don't know how she can toss so much at such an old age.

"Why did you take away so many dishes? Li Si, you can't be heartless."

"Grandma, why are you here?"

The old lady just opened her mouth to scold someone, but when she saw Goudan's throat, it seemed as if someone had strangled her.

"That's right, why do you give those people so many dishes?"

"Our family can't finish eating."

"Your uncle and your uncle haven't eaten meat for many days, you..."

"Didn't I always buy a lot of meat and vegetables for you? It's okay, those cousins ​​and sisters-in-law are working so hard, what's the matter with eating? If they don't want money, I want to pay wages. If our family is small, if we have They helped, but things can’t be done today. Are my uncles and cousins ​​someone else? Why haven’t I reached out to help?”

Li Si went to inform his brother early, but no one came to help.When eating, it is very active, but the appearance of eating is ugly.

"I have the final say on my family's affairs. If you have something to say, you can talk about it. If you have nothing to do, you can go back. We are so busy that we don't have time to listen to your opera." I didn't want to come out to see her at first, but when I heard that she was going to scold someone, I had to come out.

"What did you say you came for?"

When Mrs. Li remembered it, she began to cry, "Son, I heard that the woman is back, you mustn't be confused, and you mustn't let that embarrassing bastard into your house."

Mingguang helped deliver the tables, chairs and benches, and the sisters-in-law and aunts blinked at the dog egg, knowing that the dog egg could hold the old lady, so they all went home with the meat and vegetables they had divided.Goudan smiled at them, expressing that it was all right, and when everyone left, Goudan left his father there and listened to his grandma cursing his mother, not to mention the harsh words.

For so many years, how can Goudan not understand his grandma, and ignore him, and drag Wang Xuan back to the room to explain his plan.Because they haven't really moved into the new house yet, the two went back to the old house to sleep.

Wang Xuan gave Goudan a pillow to lean on, it was a hard day today.The two of them didn't care how Mrs. Li pulled his son to cry, they talked about their own plans.

"My mother... I have to take care of it. To be honest, I didn't blame her at all when she left. She might have been tortured to death if she stayed in Li's house. You know my grandma, she is vicious, and I don't know why she has so many The mind is dedicated to punishing the daughter-in-law, looking for trouble every day like a pervert."

"What did you plan to do?"

He is not a Goudan, and he doesn't understand Goudan's complicated feelings for his mother.But he respects any decision of Brother Goudan.

"First of all, although my father doesn't hate my mother, they probably won't get along together. And according to the rumors, my mother gave birth to a child. It is impossible for my father to let someone else's son into the house. A son means In the future, I will marry a daughter-in-law and divide the family property. Hey, and it's not fair to my father to do that."

"If I bring my mother back home, it will be a kind of harm to my father. He is honest. In the past, others laughed at him for not being able to keep a wife. Now... it is like adding salt to his wounds. "

"Another one is that people in the village despise my mother for abandoning her husband and son. They scold her very badly. No matter whether she ran away because she couldn't live in her husband's house or not, they will only scold her. As for the villagers Gossiping women are enough for my mother, and she probably can’t get through it. She doesn’t want to, you see, it’s so difficult to go back to her mother’s house, and she went to my grandmother’s house for help. If she didn’t come to our house, she knew she wouldn’t be able to enter the house when she came back. As for my grandma, believe it or not, if my mother comes back to live, you can see that she must come to make trouble every day."

"So, whether I recognize her or not, someone has something to say."

"I just thought that it would be no good for anyone to bring her back. So I thought of a different way, and I said, do you think it will work?"

Wang Xuan himself leaned on a pillow and listened to him say, "Tell me, I'll give you the details."

Goudan leaned over directly, and Wang Xuan then let him lie on his lap, and continued to listen to him say, "I care about her, but I can't let her come home. Those people in my mother's family are very snobbish, it depends on how they treat her." My mother, how do you know about me, I have never come to see me in these years, and I don't care about how I am doing. "

Wang Xuan touched Goudan's dog's head distressedly, "Her account has been canceled by my grandma, and she has no land. I don't have much time at home, so I just want her to have the ability to survive. I have time to visit her occasionally. That's enough, I can raise her but I can't raise her children for nothing. I'll go see her tomorrow, get to know her, and then make plans, what do you think?"

"Okay, I'll accompany you tomorrow. Call a few more people. The people over there don't know what's going on. They are all on vacation. Qizhi will wait for a few young men to be free." There are many people with great strength, otherwise the dog Dan's aunt is so difficult to deal with, I don't know what kind of moth will come out then.

He probably thought that Goudan didn't recognize his mother, so he didn't allow people to enter the house. When he found out that Goudan recognized his mother, who knows if he would post it shamelessly.
