"Mom, where should we go to celebrate the New Year tomorrow?" Xiao Hei burped and turned to ask Yang Huamei.
Yang Huamei said lukewarmly: "If you don't obey me, I won't take you with me no matter who I go to for New Year's greetings."
Xiao Hei became anxious when he heard this.
"I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to celebrate the New Year and eat delicious food at other people's houses!"
Although many adults also have this kind of thought, they are mostly hidden in their hearts.
He yells like this, and he sits on a stool and twists his butt while yelling. Is this a child or an adult?
It really doesn’t look like anything at all!
"Tomorrow your aunt will come to our house to pay New Year's greetings, and the day after tomorrow we will go to your aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings." Wang Hongquan reminded from the side.
Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, then yelled again, "If mother doesn't let me go to my aunt's house tomorrow, I will go with them after my aunt and her friends pay New Year's greetings tomorrow. Go ahead and wait!"
This logic... almost made Yang Huamei laugh angrily.
She poked Xiao Hei's big head with her finger, and said in an indifferent tone: "Eat, eat, eat. When you are older, you still want to eat. Why did I give birth to such a glutton like you!"
Wang Shuanzi also shook his head. He was indeed like the reincarnation of a glutton. He couldn't do anything and couldn't eat anything!
Xiao Hei tilted his head and asked with a confused look: "Mom, what is glutton? Can you eat it?"
Yang Huamei almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood. There was a voice in her left ear shouting: Beat him to death, beat him to death, this loser.
There is also a little person shouting in the right ear: Bear with it, after all, it is your own child, even if it is stupid enough, you still have to raise it, right?
Finally, Wang Shuanzi, the 'angel', stood up and said, "Okay, when you've almost eaten, go back to the house and rest. Get up early tomorrow morning and shovel the snow in the yard so that your aunt and the others can have some fun when they come over." road."
"Ah? You still need to shovel? I'm really unlucky today. I shoveled at my fifth uncle's house and I had to shovel when I came back. My hands are blistered."
Xiao Hei raised his fleshy hands and stretched them out to Wang Shuanzi to show him.
Where is the half bubble? It's all nonsense!
Wang Shuanzi pushed his hand away, lowered his face and said with a majestic look: "You can't learn anything in school, so you can only go home and learn from your father to take care of the farm work. Morning and night, you will be pinching the handle of the hoe. Starting from What does Xiaopao mean? "
Xiao Hei's face was full of grievances, and he wanted to refute with his mouth pursed, but he was afraid of Wang Shuanzi so he didn't dare to refute.
Wang Shuanzi waved his hand: "Okay, okay, go back to the house. I'll wake you up early tomorrow morning!"
Just like that, Xiao Hei was sent away, and Yang Huamei felt like she could breathe a little easier in the main room.
Suddenly, a head popped up outside the door, and it was Xiao Hei who shot back.
"Why are you back again? Go back to the house, go back to the house." Wang Shuanzi waved his hands like he was shooing away flies.
Xiao Hei opened the door and looked at Wang Hongquan with shining eyes, "I just want to ask my father, what will I eat tomorrow morning?"
Wang Hongquan asked him pleasantly: "Then what do you want to eat?"
Xiao Hei flexed his fingers and was about to report the long list of food that he had already thought about. Yang Huamei slammed the table and shouted at the door: "You pig, do you just pretend to eat in your head? If you keep talking nonsense, you won't get it tomorrow morning. Eat, I'll starve you to death!"
Wang Shuanzi also said with a solemn expression: "You can eat whatever we eat. When you have time, think more about the farming experience your father taught you. Don't look back and ask questions! Let's go quickly!"
"Oh!" Xiao Hei walked away angrily.
Yang Huamei was worried that he would leave again, so she got up and went back to the west room and closed the door.
At the table, Wang Hongquan lowered his face and said to Wang Shuanzi: "You go back to the house later and talk to Mei'er and tell her to properly control her temper. A mother who either beats or scolds her children will die. Oh, you can use swear words at your mouth. How unlucky is it to be in the first month of the year?"
Wang Shuanzi turned his head and glanced at the door of the west room behind him. He was afraid that Yang Huamei would hear it, so he lowered his voice and said to Wang Hongquan: "Dad, don't worry about such small words. Is Mei'er angry with Xiao Hei?" Huh? She is Xiao Hei’s mother, and her love for Xiao Hei is true. Just forget about it. I will take care of the dishes. You should go back to the house and rest early! "
"You are so henpecked that you don't even dare to say this."
Wang Hongquan continued to scold Wang Shuanzi with a fierce face.
"If you don't say anything, and she continues to scold Xiao Hei like this, I will mention it to her face later. Let me give you a warning first. I just feel sorry for you and it's hard to do it in the middle!"
"Okay, okay, I'll talk to Meier about this later. Please don't mention anything in front of her. I'm begging you."
After watching Wang Hongquan return to the west room, Wang Shuanzi sat at the table and exhaled in exhaustion.
Sometimes he really admired himself. He was born sick, but this crooked pole didn't break.
Look, no other strong man would be able to handle this complicated family relationship, right? But he still stubbornly stepped in to mediate. He was really worried about what would happen to this family one day when his crooked pole disappeared.
I hope God will bless him and let him live a few more years, otherwise I will really worry about this family!
When Wang Shuanzi finished clearing the dishes and returned to the west room, he found Yang Huamei sitting on the edge of the bed with a long face and sulking.
"What? Are you still angry about Xiao Hei? Hey, there's no need for that, that kid has that kind of virtue."
Because he had just washed the dishes and his hands were still stained with some water, Wang Shuanzi picked up a handkerchief and wiped it while looking at Yang Huamei's advice.
Yang Huamei raised her head and looked straight at him without saying a word.
Wang Shuanzi then continued to persuade: "There are some truths that I didn't understand before. Ever since I heard what the two gentlemen said in the school while doing their homework in their free time, it really made me think about it."
"The gentleman said that we have to go through three stages in our lives."
"First, accept that our parents are ordinary people."
"Two, accept that we are also ordinary people."
"Three, accept that our children are still ordinary people."
"Let's compare the two of us. The first half of our lives went by the wayside, and this life will be like that too."
"The two sons are just sitting there. No matter whether they are in the imperial examination or doing business, they can't do well. We can't put much hope in them."
"I won't say it, I know. I've neglected the teachings and gone astray."
"As for Xiao Hei, we don't expect what will happen to him in the future. We will try our best to teach him to be an honest, serious, and down-to-earth ordinary person. He has hands and feet, so he will not be sucked by the northwest wind in the future."
"If we lower our demands on him, we won't be so disappointed. In the words of my husband, at this age in life, you have to look away from everything, learn to reconcile with yourself, live your own life, and take care of yourself. Take good care of your body. If you are angry, your children and grandchildren will not feel sorry for you. You will have to bear the sin yourself."
While speaking, Wang Shuanzi had finished wiping his hands and came to Yang Huamei's side. He raised his hand and stroked her back, and said with a smile: "So, don't be angry!"
