My mother and I walked into the kitchen and saw that my father had finished eating and was discussing the production team with my brother. When he saw me walking in, my father said to me: "Xiao Liang, you came just in time. I am working overtime in the production team this afternoon to draft drafts." When I was there, I heard from the team leader that the big scalpers of the production team were going to give birth to calves in the next two days. The breeder, Lao Wang, couldn't handle it alone, so the production team wanted to find someone to help take care of the calves. Just now I and I When your brother talked about this matter, your brother said he was going to help in the bullpen. I understand your brother's feelings, but his waist is not good. He can't even sit up now. How can he go to work in the production team like this? But you My brother didn't listen. He said that as long as he was sent to the cowshed every day, he would find a way to help there. Just now your mother persuaded him here for a while, but your brother just didn't listen and still insisted on going. Now that you are here, you are considered a member of our family. You can persuade your brother." After that, my father stopped talking. He was waiting for me to express my position.
I looked at my father and then at my brother who was lying on the earthen bed. "Brother, your back injury has not healed yet. Are you still unable to work? You can rest for another month. During this month, I will give you the herbs prepared by Taoist Master Wu Xin. After one month, you can walk on the ground. By then, it won’t be too late for you to work in the production team!”
My brother struggled to sit up and leaned against the wall and said to me: "Xiao Liang, you see I can sit up now. I have been resting for a few months and my back injury has improved a lot. Besides, I can go to the bullpen to help take care of the little cowboy." Son, that job is quite easy and it’s not a physical job, so I can still do it. Our family owes the production team so many work points this year, and I can’t bear to watch my father work so hard all by himself, and he’s also in trouble. You can't go to school well. My mother cooks and does laundry at home alone, and she has to feed pigs and chickens. I can't do anything to help. I'm so worried!"
Then my brother looked at his father and mother and continued: "Don't worry, I eat the herbs Xiaoliang brewed for me every day. Xiaoliang can just use the flatbed truck at home to take me to the cowshed and take care of the calf." The calf's work is very light. Every day he just feeds the calf some bean cakes and grass, and then feeds it some clean water. As for the cow dung that the calf pulls in the pen, There is a breeder, Lao Wang. I live in the cowshed at noon. Lao Wang can go home to eat. In the afternoon, Xiaoliang can use a flatbed truck to pull me back after school. This way, although the workload is lower, it can also help the family to make breakfast early. I'll pay off the owed work points! You don't have to worry, I'll definitely do it."
As my brother talked, his eyes were red with excitement. It was obvious that he really wanted to contribute to the family.
Seeing my brother's anxious look, I couldn't bear to refuse him anymore. Then he turned to his father and said, "If dad doesn't work, let me try. If it doesn't work, I'll just come back again!"
My father saw that I was also interceding for my brother and stopped insisting. Then he sighed and said to his brother. "Well, Da Liang, you can go to the bullpen of the production team and try it. If it doesn't work, we will come back. Don't insist on it. You should focus on recuperating."
When the elder brother saw that his father agreed that he should go to work in the bullpen, he relaxed his brows and became happy, "I know, dad, don't worry, I won't let my waist get hurt. I will pick it up when Xiaoliang sends me there tomorrow." Put the cotton-padded clothes you wear in winter around your waist to prevent your waist from getting cold." My brother agreed happily. The father warned his brother a few more words, asking him to take it easy and not to exert too much force when working, and then put on his shoes and got off the kang. He explained to us: "Then let's leave it to Daliang to work in the cowshed. I will go to the breeder Wang's house again to say hello and ask him to take care of Daliang." After saying that, his father walked out. Home door.
At this time, the mother who was sitting next to the stove seemed to remember something and said to her brother: "Daliang, you just said that you would go to the cowshed tomorrow, and you would be on duty there at noon, and you would come back in the evening, but how are you going to get your lunch?" ?" When my mother said this, I also thought of this question. I said to my brother: "Brother, just wait until I get out of school at noon to deliver food to you!" My brother thought for a while and said to me, "Xiao Liang, that won't work. The production team's bullpen is a bit far away from our home. You can do it after school." It takes a lot of time to go back and forth like this every day, and it will delay your schooling."
The mother on the side said again: "Daliang, your brother is afraid of delaying school when he brings you food, so I will go and deliver it to you every day at noon, so that your brother will not be delayed in going to school!" After listening, the brother pondered for a while. , shook his head and said: "That won't work, Mom. You have so many housework tasks at home every day. You have to make lunch for Xiaoliang and my dad at noon. You have to clean up after they finish eating. You also need to feed the pigs and chickens. Everything takes time. My original intention was to lighten the burden on you and my dad, but instead it increased the burden on you. I felt really uncomfortable." Then my brother seemed to have made a plan, "Ma Xiaoliang, you guys No one should deliver food to me. When Xiaoliang delivers it to me every morning, I just bring some leftover food from home." When my brother said this, he also thought that there would never be any leftover food at home, and continued. : "Mom, if you cook a little more every night, I can take it to the cowshed to eat the next day. That's how the meal is settled."
My mother felt a little distressed after hearing this.
"Daliang, is it okay for you to eat leftovers at noon every day? The rice you brought is cold. If you keep eating cold rice, your stomach won't be able to bear it! Otherwise, let's tell the captain not to go. "
After hearing what my mother said, I also advised my brother, "Brother, if you eat cold rice at noon every day, your stomach will really not be able to bear it. Over time, you will get stomach problems. Otherwise, you should not go there and eat it." One month’s worth of medicine, you can go when you can go to the ground.”
My father had finally agreed to let him go, but now because of the meal, my mother and I persuaded him not to go. My brother heard my mother and I persuade him not to go, and he immediately became anxious, "Mom, Xiaoliang, you are confused. I will be able to go to the fields in a month, and my calves will no longer need anyone to take care of them. What else am I going to do? Eat?" I can solve the problem. It's summer now. It's no problem if the food is a little cold. Otherwise, the cowshed has a stove for heating in winter. I can also heat it up. I have to go, so don't try to persuade me anymore."
When my mother heard what her brother said, she sighed helplessly and said, "Oh, Daliang, that's up to you. I can't persuade you to wait until your father comes back later and see what he says. I'll pack your things for you first." .”
