Seventy Little Heads

Goudan returned home in a hurry, and Wang Xuan had already taken care of everything.As soon as Goudan threw the backpack, he stepped forward and hugged the person, "I miss you to death."

Ask again, "Miss me?"

"Think about it."

Goudan pouted and prepared to kiss Fangze, but he hadn't kissed yet.

"Dog? Are you back?" Li Si looked at his son in surprise while holding the dog bowl.

The two froze at the same time, Goudan retracted his jaw, and then separated at the same time.Goudan turned around and answered Li Si nonchalantly, "Father, I'm back."

Wang Xuan had already quietly entered the bedroom with the backpack that was left on the ground by the dog egg, and put it on the desk.Then he patted his cheek in the room, it was so hot that he was almost caught.Hey, it's all because I haven't seen you for a long time, I can't help it.

When Wang Xuan came out, he saw Goudan playing with the puppy.He coughed twice and cleared his throat and walked over, "This is born to Daguai's daughter, who gave birth to three puppies, half a month ago, Daguai has become a grandmother."

Just now, Li Sina's dog bowl was filled with big bone broth and leftovers specially cooked by Wang Xuan, and it was given to the new-born Kuaiguai. Guaiguai was the little bitch that Daguai gave birth to for the first time and was left behind because of eating Well done, my baby has plenty of milk, and the puppy has grown up in half a month, fat and cute.

"Isn't it? Xiaoxuan cares about these puppies, and he has a meal of meat or broth every day." Li Si answered the conversation, mainly because he felt that Goudan and Wang Xuan were really good at pampering dogs. .

Goudan said, "A dog is a good friend of human beings. If you treat it well, it will be more loyal and loyal to the house. Anyway, we don't stay at home all year round. You are alone at home. How nice it is to have these dogs with you. Thieves are afraid." Don't dare to think about it."

"That's true. Our big boy and boy are ferocious enough. All the dogs in the neighborhood will take a detour when they see them. Except for the old wolf dog, but that wolf dog has a good relationship with the big boy." , Sometimes the darling has to bark his teeth at others." Li Si agrees with being capable, and the two dogs are very spiritual, and won't eat food thrown by strangers, except for those fed by family members.

"That must be able to do it. As for the old wolf dog, isn't it the first good friend of Daguai? It is also the dog father of the first batch of children. The daughter of the two dogs is still in front of my eyes. Don't look at the monk. Look at the face of the Buddha.

"Hey, what are you talking about, baby, hahaha, dogs are not like people."

Goudan grinned and went to the water to wash up. Wang Xuan had already pressed the water out to dry in the sun. The water was warm for most of the day and could be used directly for bathing.

"Hey, every time I'm on the train for two days, people become dry pickles. Look at these clothes." Goudan took off his clothes, leaving only his underwear, and took a bath by the well surrounded by cement boards.

Use cement to make a circle, put the water well in the middle, and make a fence around it. When brushing clothes and quilts, spread it directly on the concrete floor, and then use a brush to clean it.Anyway, the concrete floor is very clean after being washed with water, and a small outlet is left in the low-lying place, and the sewage will flow out directly.

It was summer, and it was very sunny on the bare concrete floor. The small saplings Li Si transplanted from the mountains were only waist high, and I didn't know when they would be able to shade them.

Anyway, the yard is surrounded by a big wall, and once the gate is closed, the family is full of men, and it doesn't matter if the dog eggs are washed directly by the well in the yard.

When I was young, everyone went to the ditch to take a bath, and there were many men who came home in shorts.

"Father, don't be busy, soak the dirty clothes with washing powder first, and I will wash them later."

Li Si came to see that his son was tired from the journey and wanted to wash the dirty clothes, but the son said that he should soak for a while.

"Everything is convenient now. Once this washing powder comes out, it's so easy to use. You can't buy a piece of smelly soap in a year, and the clothes you wash are not as good as the current washing powder. The washing is very clean. Many people in the village buy a piece of soap. The bag is big, it can be used for washing clothes, bathing, and hair washing. The hair is also clean. Doesn’t the girl have long hair? She is cute and has lice. It is said that the lice are gone after washing too much with washing powder .”

This bitch knows that there are still quite a few lice in the village nowadays, and they usually don't pay attention to hygiene or infect each other.This has a strong alkaline detergent, which not only cleans the greasy head and face, but also is not conducive to the growth of lice.

"But Xiaoxuan is particular. I have to buy soap for bathing. It smells really good. I don't know how much it costs. I don't want to use washing powder to wash my hair. I even bought a special shampoo." Li Si pointed at Goudan. The soap box and shampoo bottle placed under the feet said. "Forget it. People in big cities are very particular, and you are used to it, but you also bought special insect repellent and some bath liquid for the big and small dogs. I heard it is very expensive."

"Isn't it normal for that dog to have layers of thick fur and worms? Daddy scratches it, and he uses potions, really."

"Father, it's hard to say anything, you earned it yourself. But you son of a bitch, you can find some time to talk to him quietly, you will marry a wife in the future, it will cost a lot to raise children and start a family. Now and It was different in our meeting. I didn’t have any family background, and the girl didn’t like it. The third dog of your fifth uncle’s family wants to marry a wife, and the girl asks for a bicycle and a sewing machine. Oh, your fifth uncle is going to cry. Sad."

"Then don't marry, you can't make the whole family hungry just because you marry a daughter-in-law."

"Hey, you are still young and ignorant. Parents have to think about their son no matter how difficult it is. No, your fifth aunt, your sister Honghong, and your second cousin cried. Let the two married daughters help. Mother's house."

"Hmph, if the family has money, that's nothing to say, but marrying a daughter-in-law like this? When they come back and see life is sad, they will get divorced. San Gouzi has no brains, the daughter of such a talkative family Dare to marry, think the mother-in-law is crazy? Or get the handle for what you did to the girl, otherwise why would it be like this."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Si said to his son again: "Marrying a wife and having children is a big deal. Your grandparents married my brothers when it was so difficult. Now your uncles and I have become fathers. I also want to marry my son a daughter-in-law."

The dog's egg head is getting bigger, and he nodded repeatedly and said "yes, yes, yes"

Goudan felt that this had nothing to do with him, so he just followed his father.

I didn't expect to see the crying Xiangxiang coming in the afternoon, hugging someone and crying as soon as she saw Goudan.Goudan really disliked him so much, he was clean and refreshed just now, and then a dirty girl hugged and cried, really, Goudan's face turned dark.

Wang Xuan hurriedly pulled him up, if Brother Goudan got angry, he could really throw him out.

"Xiangxiang, why are you crying? If people think something is wrong after hearing this, don't cry."

It was only through Xiangxiang's intermittent narration that in order to marry San Gouzi, even if the woman didn't insist on buying a big item like a bicycle, the family still suffered a serious bleeding.As the second-to-last daughter, Xiangxiang can no longer study.

Girl, what are you doing reading so many books?Letting go to school for a few years has been good, but her eldest sister and second sister haven't finished school for a day. Does it affect anything?No, it doesn't matter at all to marry and have children.

Although at the beginning everyone was envious of Chen Qingjuan's salary, but after a long time, the pride disappeared, and the child's grades in school were not good, so I just went home to help with work, collect firewood and cut pigweed.Over the past few years, the girls who were sent to school by their parents due to headaches basically dropped out of school for various reasons.

Now those who go to junior high school basically have nothing to do with girls.For an open-minded family like the old aunt, in fact, the girls don't read much. If you are a fool in elementary school, it is not bad to know a few words.

Xiangxiang is also in the fifth grade this year, but now the six-year elementary school system has been implemented, and she will be in the sixth grade in September.The decision is very casual, and the child has no room to refute. If there is no money, it will not be read. It is useless for you to cry.

In the past, Goudan and Wang Xuan teased her casually: I will study hard in the future, and I will also go to Kyoto to study, and see the big city. The big city is very beautiful and has a lot of candies.

Xiangxiang is supported by this, and her grades are quite good. She is in the top three of the class every time she takes the exam. You must know that a class has 50 students, which is not bad.

The little girl was out of breath from crying, and was in a terrible embarrassment.

Goudan said angrily, "You're worthless too. If you know you're here to cry, why don't you cry with your parents? They can't see you crying here, and it's useless to cry blind."

Xiangxiang was still crying and hiccupping, "You think I'm not crying, it's useless for me to quarrel, my mother still wants to beat me up, saying that I will work at home for two years, take care of my nephews for my sisters-in-law, and when I get older, I will be with you." You work part-time. I don’t want to bring nephews to my sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law took away the money before she got married, and didn’t let me go to school, hiccup, I don’t want to bring her children.”

Xiangxiang raised her arm to wipe her tears, the sleeves were all dirty, she probably would have killed her nephew at home.

Goudan's fifth uncle had quite a few children, and the eldest daughter Hong Hong and the second daughter Er Yatou had already married.Honghong is bigger than Goudan, she gave birth to two Gouzi and San Gouzi in the middle, and Xiangxiang is the next one. She is 13 years old this year, and she has a little girl named Osmanthus Osmanthus who is three years younger than Xiangxiang.

Now that the family even has a grandson, Xiangxiang and Osmanthus are basically responsible for the housework. Even if they don’t work in the fields, they are responsible for the chickens, ducks, two pigs, and the whole family’s dirty clothes. , Cooking, cooking and cleaning are all their jobs.In addition, you have to take your little nephew with you. If a trouble is not good and the nephew bumps into each other, not only the sister-in-law will blame, but also the parents at home will be unhappy, that is a baby lump.

Osmanthus Goudan is not common, she is a timid and cowardly little girl, her character is not at all the same as Xiang Xiang, who has been troubled since she was a child, and Xiang Xiang, a ground monkey.But Xiangxiang is clever, since she was very young, she knew that Goudan was her elder brother, so she posted two candies.She is closer to Goudan than to her brother.Probably because Goudan and Wang Xuan like to tease her, buying candy, hair flowers, homework pencils and so on.

And the two elder brothers in the family either ordered her to do this or that, and they never treated her as the younger sister of the family to love her.

Anyway, during winter and summer vacations, as long as Goudan and Wang Xuan are at home, she will definitely come to play often, and when they are away, she will occasionally come to help Li Si wash clothes and sweep the floor.Anyway, in the village, nieces are almost like biological daughters, just like people say that nephews are like sons.It is very common for nieces to help uncles with laundry and cooking. It usually happens when uncles are unmarried and lonely, and nieces at home look pitiful and help out.

Although Li Si is not lonely, but he is a single old man, his son is not often at home, and his life is not particular about where to go.The clothes are not changed frequently, they are sour, or the holes are not sewn well. It is also a kindness for my niece to come over and ask for the clothes to be washed, washed and sewn.

If you want to talk about the cousins ​​in those rooms, the only one who can catch Goudan's eyes is the crying little girl in front of her. It is inevitable that we will pay more attention to it.

The other cousins ​​have never seen anyone who can get a candy from Goudan, but Xiangxiang, the girl, Goudan will buy one or two new clothes or give one or two yuan when she is happy. money spent.

"Then what do you want to do when you come to my house and cry?"

"I want to go to school." Poor.

Goudan just laughed, "Then you have to tell your parents, even though I am an older brother, I have another room, your family obviously wants you to help with the work at home, and you don't need to pay for your schooling. What can I do? ?”

"Brother Goudan, you can lend me the money, I'll write it for you, next time, write the IOU, and I will return it to you when I grow up."

Goudan rubbed her head, "Little girl, you are still a little monkey pinched by your parents, and you can't escape. Even if I lend you money, they are determined not to let you go to school, and you go to school." No, you should understand."

"Didn't they tell you to follow me to the capital to work when you were older? You must think that I treat you well. When you go back, tell them that only those who graduated from junior high school will want it. Look at Yintou and Dafu brother, right? Both of those two graduated from junior high school. If you tell them again, the monthly salary for a good job is ten times higher than that of the cadres in the town."

"Now they pay you to go to school until you graduate from junior high school, and the money you give back to them after work is much more than now. If they still don't believe it, you can say that Brother Goudan is now living in a new house because he studied a lot. .Your brother can’t even marry a daughter-in-law. It’s because he doesn’t study enough and his brain is dull, so he’s not promising. If he sees a woman who can’t walk, no matter how expensive he is, he will desperately want to marry her.”

"Don't talk nonsense." Wang Xuan hurriedly interrupted Goudan, and then said to Xiangxiang, "Just talk about the front, and don't tell your parents about your own brother later. Do you understand?"

Xiangxiang nodded with sparkling eyes.

"But I think Brother Goudan is right. My brother is just not good for anything. He must have not worked hard in school before, but now his brain is not enough. My mother said that my elder brother was crushed to death by his sister-in-law, and a man is too useless .My sister-in-law does whatever she says, and she doesn’t dare to care about her mother-in-law. She’s really worthless.”

"Xiangxiang, we can't talk nonsense about this, and it will reach your mother and sister-in-law's ears later, are you going to die?" Brother Goudan's fifth aunt is very powerful, and has a bad temper.

But if Wang Xuan had to say it, it's just that it's not the place to be great.

The two of you said something to each other, making Xiangxiang dizzy, and Wang Xuan brought her delicious food.Xiangxiang just forgot about her own business, sniffed, and began to gossip to the two of them in the village, such as so-and-so who likes to beat his wife, and was punished by his brother-in-law in public, and now he dare not fart.

For Xiangxiang, even if Goudan has some affection, he can't take it all in.After all, he is the cousin in the next room, if he intervenes rashly, it will be driving a wedge between the father and daughter.Being scolded for doing good deeds, he is not free, so why not let her go to her parents and cry, now only her and Osmanthus two sisters go to school at home, don't believe him, fifth uncle can't afford it.

Apart from the fact that the two little girls and the grandson are the main labor force, and the policies in the mainland are gradually being liberalized, so many adults can't support three little ones?Hard work always pays off.

Goudan and Wang Xuan ran to the county seat the next day. The house had already been built, and a wall was built outside.

"The inside and outside are completely cleaned up, just wait for someone to deliver the shelves."

"It's very good. Two bedrooms, one shop, and a smaller kitchen are no problem. Because there are no other shops here, most of the backyard is left. If it becomes lively in the future, the front All three of them can be used as facades, and it is also possible to build a row of narrower houses in the backyard."

"Considering safety and convenience, these two bedrooms are all enclosed by walls, and the remaining one is open and blocked with an iron door. Business can be done by opening the iron door during the day, and the iron door is closed at night. Close it."

"Oh, by the way, I didn't have time to dig the well, so I got the water pipe directly from the school. Let's use tap water. The water bill will be calculated every month, and the principal agrees."

Wang Xuan introduced to Goudan that after he came back, he asked people to work overtime to do it. Since the ninety steps were gone, it was better to do things more thoughtfully.

When the two went to the house not far from the outskirts of the county, they saw that the mother and son had already packed their luggage. After a year, the three of them had a much better mental outlook, and they didn't want to be so skinny in the beginning.

"Did Wang Xuan tell you before? You have also visited and everything has been arranged. In September, both of you will enroll in the primary school over there. Wang Xuan also greeted the other school, and you will pay for the first year. The transfer fee will be the same as other people in the future." After a few years of junior high school, the second middle school over there may start to recruit students, and it's not too far away from home.After all, everything is starting to break ground now.

"There is no rush to move. My house is not used for the time being. Come and have a look at it when you have time. Later, you will follow me to meet the owner of the wholesaler, and tell him about the purchases in the store. How about you, Xiaohong?" Remember, you will come when you need to communicate at home in the future, okay?"

Xiaohong is 14 years old. She is strong and strong. She probably looks like her own father. She looks ordinary, but like Baogen, she has a pair of beautiful eyes.

This girl has good eyesight. Seeing Goudan talk to her, she simply agreed. In the future, she will definitely need to run errands to communicate with her, after all, the mother can't talk.

Several people went to Liu Shunjie's place, Liu Shunjie was very enthusiastic, and Goudan introduced them to both of them. "Uncle Liu, I'll leave Ping An Store to you in the future, please call us if you have anything to do, okay?" It means that if the two sides have any disagreements in the future, we can't embarrass the orphans and widows.Give him a call and he'll fix it.

It also expresses a meaning, let Liu Shunjie help to watch the point, and don't let people who don't wink look for trouble.

They didn't help in vain. Goudan introduced Liu Shunjie to an uncle who was a former high school classmate. It was not a crime, but a convenience for each other.

Liu Shunjie's matter is not a big deal, but if there is no one, it will be difficult.This is how the government and the government do things these days. They take it slow, or they will delay it for you. There is enough waiting.

Liu Shunjie didn't dare to be perfunctory with Goudan anymore, and sincerely expressed that he would pay attention to it, and would not let the mother and son be troubled by those who are not good-looking.

After two days, Goudan and Wang Xuan took Yagu and Xiaohong through the process in person, and packed the goods they wanted from Liu Shunjie's wholesale store into small tricycles.Pulled to the new house next to the second primary school, settled in a different category, and set a price.

The price on the purchase list and the price to be sold in the future have been clearly stated, and they will not end until they feel that there is no problem.

"I can't give credit, but most of the consumers here are primary school students and they probably don't know how to pay on credit, but the opposite road, a distance of more than ten meters is the residential area, and you can also sell some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which are also daily necessities." Because of the inertial concept Well, there is no non-staple food store in this city border area, and this is the only one at present.

Back home, Li Sizhen babbled a few words, mainly because his son finally came back, and he didn't stay at home for a few days, and he didn't see his son much.Li Si just babbled a few words, he always knew that this son didn't know what he was doing since he was in junior high school, and he often didn't know what to do.

Goudan listened to the nagging, so he agreed, and he was still busy when he should be busy.

On this day, Wang Xuan pulled Goudan and said, "Let's go see Da Zhuang tomorrow. I heard from other people that Da Zhuang's place is not very good recently."

Seeing Goudan looking at him waiting for him to continue, he simply said, "Well, I heard from a few friends that Da Zhuang can't get off the ground now, and the family's compensation money has been spent for medical treatment, and now the child needs money for school. He asks for money for taking medicine and injections on time. The daughter-in-law at home beats and complains every day, and Da Zhuang feels uncomfortable in his heart, as if his body collapsed all of a sudden."

As a son, I let the elderly parents worry about it. As a husband, the burden now falls on the wife's shoulders. As a father, I can't create good conditions for my children, and I have become a burden myself.

It would be uncomfortable to switch to any man. He is not yet 30 years old, so it's no wonder he isn't depressed.

"it is good."

They were also busy during this time, and they hadn't visited him for a long time.

"But..." Goudan suddenly thought of an idea, "The best way to do this is to solve Da Zhuang's income problem. Think about it, how many couples are quarreling because they have no money? If he can make money himself, no If you feel that you are a burden, then you will have nothing to worry about.”

"Do you have an idea?"

"Let's talk about it after I see him."
