For two days in a row, they were cleaning up the freshly baked road that was still in rough shape. Time was running out. Song Zidong, the baby of the Song family who had always been indifferent to family affairs, was also caught. He reluctantly picked up the shovel.
To be honest, he would rather lie in bed and be in a daze.
We are working all year round, and it’s hard to celebrate the New Year, so why don’t we allow people to take a break?
He thought well.
But Song Shi was not easy to talk to either.
You don’t want to do it, do you?
also.
Let’s put down our picks together. The car is yours anyway, and it’s your fault to find a place to park it.
Song Zidong, who has encountered parking difficulties on a daily basis recently:...
He was really pinched seven inches.
Not to mention how far it was, just now, someone came and asked him to move the car.
I lazily picked up the shovel, intending to do the job half-heartedly.
There is such a lazy guy who claims to be a strong laborer but is actually a soy sauce, seriously delaying the progress of the plan.
He still looked angry.
But Song Shi didn't just tell his cheap son to get out because he couldn't stand it anymore. Even if you are playing with a shovel, you will be nailed to death here.
If you want to run away, there is no way!
Song Zidong wanted to hide, but his father's attitude was unusually tough. Besides, he didn't have any money, so he had to give up the idea.
After another two days of sorting it out, accompanied by Old Man Song's cursing and disdain, it was finally done.
The family rested for a long time.
The next day, Song Shi and Xu Cuifang went to the market early, and did not let their lazy son drive them. They said they were tired and asked him to sleep more.
There are so many people on the street.
During the Chinese New Year, all those who went out to work have returned. Usually ghost towns are generally empty. During this time, every market is crowded with people. In Xu Cuifang’s words, even your ears will almost be squeezed out.
The two quickly bought their things and walked back with their backpacks on their backs.
Xu Cuifang glanced at him several times along the way, but in the end said nothing.
say what?
Why didn't you go to the teahouse to play mahjong today?
She's crazy to even mention this.
He didn't think of it at all originally, but when she reminded him, it tickled his heart.
Ah.
Wouldn't it be nice to stay at home and work?
"By the way, Cuilan called me yesterday and said she wanted to borrow 100,000 yuan, and the interest would be calculated based on the bank's deposit interest." Xu Cuifang was holding a plastic bag of biscuits and bread in her hand, "I didn't agree and said I would ask. you."
"Borrowing so much?" Song Shi grabbed the strap of the backpack with both hands, lifted it up, and frowned, "What does she need so much money for?"
"She said she was interested in a house. An acquaintance recommended it. It's cheap. I want to buy it." After saying this, he rolled his eyes. "It's not like you don't know. Her two children always dislike the house they live in now and the decoration is not good." , I feel embarrassed even if I bring my friends back, and I have long been clamoring to change it.”
"Didn't you hear her say that she wanted to change cars before?"
"It's not the children who are making trouble. They think the car is bad and the house is old. They all want to change it. Who doesn't want to change it? The key is to have the tickets in hand. I said she is the same. She depends on the child for everything. A child Whatever you know and what you want to do, it’s up to the adults to decide. They buy everything they want, and they think they have gold and silver at home." After saying this, he snorted disdainfully.
Just like my own home, no news leaked out when I bought the house.
I told my two daughters after I bought it.
No, that's fine.
Good?
Song Shi curled his lips. It's okay for the second daughter to be naive. The eldest son is sensitive and was not close to his parents. Later, he became estranged from his family because of their relationship. Maybe it's just a trivial matter in your opinion. But it can thin the bond between mother and daughter like a razor blade.
Of course you don't care, the son is the most important, the daughter is alive, has no missing arms or legs, and is not sick, that's all.
As for my daughter’s emotional needs, I’m sorry, but there are none.
Oh, and there is no need for money either.
The original slag naturally thinks the same way.
Not to mention that the couple is really like sugar cane. They speak very nice and sweet words to outsiders. They will try their best to support their children in whatever they want to do. The money they earn is not left to future generations. In fact, the supply targets are only children.
As for my daughter, she was a left-behind child thrown away at home when she was a child, and the two basins of water she threw out after graduation.
When you want to control them, then they are your own. Once financial interests are involved, you will automatically treat them differently in your heart.
My sister-in-law's house is the opposite.
He claimed to dislike his daughter and said he would not care about her, but in fact, Chen Qiao had more than Chen Fei, and the two children were also thinking about their parents.
The whole family is happy and happy.
Unlike Yuan Zha's embroidered pillow, the surface is covered with flowers, but the inside is a mess of straw and wheat straw. If it is not properly repaired and maintained, the pillow surface will be punctured in a few years.
"You can't say that." Song Shi looked forward, "When the children grow up, they can participate in some things at home. We are old and have spent most of our lives on the construction site lifting bricks. Apart from building houses, we have nothing to do. I don’t know.” Seeing disapproval on his wife’s face, he said, “It’s like the house we bought two years ago. What we thought about at the time was that it was spacious enough to live in, and nothing else was considered. But if the family sat down to discuss it, You yourself later heard what the three children said. There are no schools nearby, no shopping malls, few buses, not elevator entrances, not cast-in-place rooms, poor sound insulation, and noisy. We were satisfied with everything we saw before, but now we dislike everything we see. , the key is, the price of the house has dropped now.”
It just sucks.
Xu Cuifang moved her lips but did not refute, but she did not agree with his words about letting her children participate in family decision-making.
Again, what do children know?
If you have the ability to make money to buy it yourself, she promises that she won’t have any objections.
The two of them went to their mother-in-law's house.
Just passing by.
As usual, I have to sit there every time I go to the market. However, since it’s the Chinese New Year, for the sake of convenience, I have my son drive me to pick me up and take another route.
A big yellow dog was barking at the door. Song Shi stamped his foot. The dog was startled. Feng Xiuzhen hurried over to greet him. The dog whined twice and whirled around in its den, curling up in its den.
"Oh, I bought so many things." She said with a smile on her face.
"Isn't it the Chinese New Year? The family hasn't started preparing anything yet." Xu Cuifang said as she walked inside.
Song Shi had already put away his backpack and was standing in the yard smoking with Xu Zhiyong.
He looked at the messy main room, with hammers and drills scattered everywhere, and said, "This room should have been resurfaced long ago. It will be easier for Xu Yuan to get married when the time comes." It would be best to paint the walls again. , the house becomes brighter.
But Xu Zhiyong smiled and said, "Marriage? I don't know when we will wait."
"..." Song Shi blinked, "No, why didn't I understand what you said? They have both given birth to children. If I remember correctly, your grandson should be one month old. Why, you still have Don’t you have any plans to take care of things for them?”
Tsk-tsk and shake head.
You look like a father who is too irresponsible.
"It's because I didn't have a plan. It's because they went too far. They didn't know what was going on with their daughter, and they actually asked for a bride price." When he mentioned this, he became very angry. He had never heard of a bride price being required for a second marriage. , Xu Yuan was the first to marry in his family.
Boys who have never been married must find girls who have never been married.
This is the only loss for his family.
But that stupid guy was out of his mind and wouldn't listen to anything he said. He wasn't kidding, he really didn't want to care.
"You want a bride price? It's normal. How much does it cost?" He had the same idea as Xu Zhiyong. From the bottom of his heart, he felt that the woman was not worthy. Song Shi wanted to laugh at this. To put it bluntly, If you are still dissatisfied, it's a done deal and it's a matter of course to deal with the matter quickly.
"Sixty thousand."
Feng Xiuzhen's voice was high-pitched and thin, as if she had deliberately raised her voice to be heard by the people upstairs.
"She won't let go. She won't give up even if she loses a penny. If she doesn't agree, she will take her away. I don't understand. Is it better to marry her daughter? Her girl is so valuable. How can she pay a penny with a man? Do you want a share of the money? It’s not like this if you want to make a fortune. Anyway, I’ll put my words here. It’s impossible to get money from me. If they have the ability to give the bride price themselves, I have no objection at all.”
Behind the curtains on the second floor, a man holding a baby in his arms pursed his lips tightly and his eyes flashed with water. He wiped it casually and looked back at the room behind him. The door was half open and there was no light in the room. , the curtains were tightened, it was dark, no light could be seen.
