Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 23 The Little Brother Is Much Better Than The Big Brother
When my mother was still in embarrassment, Niu Xiaogang reached out and opened the zipper of the bag, and took out a temporary new Sanyo, "Mom, this is a reward specially given to me by the factory leader in recognition of my hard work and dedication. I'm worried that someone will steal it if I put it in the dormitory, so you keep it safe for me, and I'm going to keep it for when I get married."

Mother Sun Mei was very happy when she heard the first half, and she thought that the eldest son would keep this tape recorder for family use, so that Lao Niu's family would have face in the village.Later, when she heard her eldest son say that she would keep the tape recorder for her wedding, Sun Mei's smile froze instantly.

Niu Xiaogang reminded without realizing it: "Find a nylon bag to wrap it up and hang it on the beam of the house, so that the tape recorder will neither get wet nor be damaged by others."

"Oh... oh... I'm going to find a nylon bag right now, Gangzi, take a break first, your father—your father is raking the fields in the back mountain, and I guess he should be back, let's have dinner together later .”

Niu Xiaogang held the bag in his hand, waved his hand and said: "No need, the food in the canteen in the factory is pretty good, I'd better go eat in the factory, Mom, I'm leaving."

Niu Xiaogang didn't seem to want to stay in the home where he had lived for more than ten years, so he turned around and left after speaking.When he reached the door, he once again ignored his younger brother who was picking vegetables at the door, as if this younger brother was air.

Sun Mei chased him all the way to the door. She opened her mouth to say something, but her lips twitched several times, but she still didn't say a word.

Niu Xiaoqiang almost died of anger. He originally wanted to fight the injustice for his mother and sister, but when he thought about his status in the family, he had no choice but to give up this idea.

There are eight members in the family, the highest status is father Niu Dazhuang, followed by elder brother Niu Xiaogang, and then mother Sun Mei.

And his father, Niu Dazhuang, is very doting on his elder brother Niu Xiaogang. He basically supports all of Niu Xiaogang's opinions, even Sun Mei.

What is Niu Xiaoqiang?He is just a fool, he has no status in the family at all, so he can only play tricks with Da Huang.

Niu Xiaogang is different. He is the proud son of heaven that Lao Niu's family managed to cultivate, and he is the biggest reliance of Lao Niu's family to change the status of three generations of poor peasants.He was already a technical expert in the factory at a young age, and even Director Chen valued him very much and wanted to betroth his daughter to him.Such a capable son, that father doesn't like it?
The main reason why Niu Xiaogang is so defiant and cold-tempered is because of Niu Dazhuang.

Niu Dazhuang waited for such a son after giving birth to four daughters. He was a bit patriarchal, so he naturally doted on his eldest son.Generally, children from rural families are good at farm work, but Niu Xiaogang is an exception. The heaviest farm work he has ever done is herding cattle. The hoes and other agricultural tools at home are insulated from him, and he has never touched them. .

When he was very young, Niu Xiaogang realized his privileged position in the family, and he was always calling around to his older sisters.Later, even my own mother began to dislike her, and her words always showed her dissatisfaction with her, thinking that her mother was a rustic mountain person, which was too embarrassing for him.

When he grew up, his excellent academic performance made his character more proud.When he was hired by the factory in advance with excellent grades, his tail went straight up to the sky, and even his father, who had always been doting on him, didn't look up to him that much anymore.As for the rest of the family, let alone.

For example, the third sister, Niu Qiuxiang, works in the canteen of the factory, but Niu Xiaogang never talks to Niu Qiuxiang, and never mentions his relationship with Niu Qiuxiang to others, as if doing so will make him lose face.

For his elder brother, Niu Xiaoqiang is very contemptuous, but he can only contempt for a while now, there is no way, who told him that he has no status in the family?

"Mom, the dishes are ready. Is there any other work to be done? If so, you can directly order, and I promise that there will be no second words."

In order to relieve his mother's mood, Niu Xiaoqiang picked up the dishes as quickly as possible, and asked with a smile.

Seeing her youngest son behave like this, Sun Mei felt a lot less uncomfortable, and she showed a smile: "Mom—Mom has nothing for you to do, you can go study."

"Mom, you don't need to listen to elder brother. I think the title of mother is very good. There is no need to change it to mother."

Sun Mei didn't speak, she shook her head and sighed, and walked into the kitchen with a vegetable basket.

Eldest sister Niu Chunxiang patted Niu Xiaoqiang on the head: "Brother, you are still welcome."

Niu Xiaoqiang grinned: "Sister, it's still early, the more you go, you will find that I will get better and better."

"Praise you a few words, you are still floating, silly boy, hurry up and learn."

"Good."

After Niu Xiaoqiang entered the room, Niu Chunxiang said to himself: "This silly brother seems to have really changed, he has become smarter. Even if he hasn't become smarter, he is still much better than the elder brother."

At 07:30 in the evening, the family set up tables and chairs under the big tree in front of their house, and gathered together to eat and drink.

Niu Xiaxiang and Niu Dongxiang had already gone back to the city, and the third sister Niu Qiuxiang went to work in the canteen of the arsenal and would only go home on weekends, so there were only Niu Dazhuang and his wife, Niu Chunxiang and Niu Xiaoqiang sitting at the dining table.

Niu Dazhuang had already heard about the return of the eldest son. While drinking, he complained to his wife: "You really can't do anything well, even your own son can't be kept."

Sun Mei drank the porridge silently without saying a word.

Seeing that his wife was too lazy to take care of him, Niu Dazhuang became more and more depressed, and kept drinking.

Niu Xiaoqiang saw that the atmosphere was not right, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.Worried about harming the fish in the pond, he was beaten by his father for no reason. He finished his meal as quickly as possible, then said hello, got up and walked into the house.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't stay in the house, he just slipped out from the back door, and trotted to the door of the firewood house of Niu Huahua's house.

Seeing that there was no one around, Niu Xiaoqiang bent down and entered the woodshed of someone else's house.Without much effort, he came out with a bridle in his hand.

The cow bit is a tool specially set on the mouth of the cow to prevent the cow from eating the crops.

After the rural people harvest the rice, they will spread the ears of rice on the rice field, then put stone rollers on the cattle, and drive the cattle to crush the ears of rice back and forth on the rice field.After repeated many times, the grains on the ears of rice will be crushed and fall down.

There are relatively few fields in the mountains, and the output of grain is very limited. In order to prevent the cattle from stealing grain while grinding the ears of rice, some villagers will put a bit on the mouth of the cattle.

　Ask for favorites, ask for recommendation tickets, Weiyu smiles and implore everyone to support, thank you.
