life struggle

After New Year's Eve, it's the third day of the first lunar month. 【】When it was getting late, Xiao Yun and Xiao Mei had just left with their children when Wu Xiaosen walked into the house nervously.

Wu Pingshun felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Why is it a holiday or not? Why are you back so late? You haven't eaten yet, right?"

"I didn't have time to eat, so I came back after work."

"We just had dinner, so hurry up and sit down in the house and ask your mother to serve you a bowl of dumplings."

Wu Xiaosen was on day shift and didn't come back at noon, because he had something on his mind, so he hurried back after work.Sitting down in the house and drinking some water, he said suspiciously, "Father, the world sent me steamed buns at [-] o'clock, crying and telling me that I'm going to get married soon, and I want to build a house on that homestead in Kengbei. I was transferred to the entrance of the village, and it was very embarrassing to see his crying nose and tears, and I didn't understand this, so I didn't directly agree to him, so I came back to ask you what to do?"

Wu Pingshun took a puff of cigarette lightly, and said disapprovingly, "He's playing tricks again. Didn't Xiaofu and his wife always say that they want to build a house in the south! Let the wind go around, tie flower guns randomly, and if one trick fails, it will be another trick. Isn't it true?" It’s so big, what do you want the world to do with you?”

"I think his father and father are really in a hurry now, and they are pitiful enough. Do you think we should let him build a house in Kengbei?"

"I can't control these things, Xiao Qi is also talking around, he also insists on that piece of land, you guys can figure it out."

"I really don't know what to do about this matter. Should I call them both over and talk about it together?"

"If you want to talk, talk on the sidelines. I can see enough of them both. You know my temper. I get angry when I don't listen to marginal or reasonable words."

"There's really no room for not talking here, you just listen in the room and see what they think, okay?"

Wu Pingshun was silent for a long time without saying a word. At this time, Wu Xiaojun's wife had already cooked the dumplings and brought them over, "Xiaosen, eat it while it's hot. What's the matter with your father? His face is so ugly." Xiaosen took the dumplings , "Mom, I want to call my two elder brothers over tonight to talk about the house site in Kengbei. It seems that my father is very embarrassed."

"Father, if they want to talk about it, you can tell them to talk about it. Why bother so much?"

Wu Xiaojun came back from the outside, seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little tense, he didn't dare to ask more questions.

"In this way, if you say something, the four of you must be present, and you must sign the result. If anyone talks nonsense here, get out immediately, and there is no room for negotiation."

Wu Pingshun nodded, and Wu Xiaosen called Wu Xiaofu and Wu Xiaoqi over for a meeting after dinner. There was only one central topic, which was to discuss the issue of the Kengbei homestead.Wu Xiaojun has his own views on this matter. Xiaosen's land has actually become the object of competition and division between the two. I feel sad for him, but I can't say anything, so I have to wait and see what happens and see what their thoughts and intentions are.

The few words Wu Xiaoqi said really seemed to be disrupting the situation, "No one let me go to school, no one else has more thoughts, I have been bullied by others since I was a child, and I haven't figured out my house until now, other people's house sites are all intact Yes, only my family was pushed into the pit. As for the homestead in the north of the pit, when Xiaosen will build a house, I will find someone to take it off without saying a word, and no one else can build a house on it. "

"Second brother, the homestead has nothing to do with whether you go to school or not. You can't put everything into school. Today we're going to talk about the land in Kengbei. Last time you said that Uncle Pingming often looked for you, and you didn't want to be here. As for building the house, I transferred it to a bigger place across the street for you, and it is said that Kengbei has nothing to do with you, so the old house should be removed, right?"

"It's nothing to do with me. Our father took the responsibility of getting rid of Qiangqiang's homestead. He has to take the responsibility, and Qiangqiang wants to be whole. He wants to be pitted."

Wu Xiaojun became excited when he heard this, and said angrily, "Our father and mother are the parents of four people, and I am not alone. I am going to get married soon, and my father and mother can no longer live in this place." It’s okay to ask our father to ask for a small hole, that’s it, the three of you fill up the small hole and our parents live in it. If you don’t fill the hole, the two of them can go there if they want to, I don’t care. "

"Xiaojun, what do you mean?" Wu Xiaosen asked puzzled.

"What I said is not only the fact, but also the matter in front of me. I will do what I say. You can figure it out."

"Xiaojun, it's none of your business, you just need to study well, the rest has nothing to do with you."

"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk. Who confessed you when you went to school, and how did I go to school? Do you know that you have done nothing good except dragging my hind legs? Mom and Dad made it for me. Going to school, digging soil in the field day and night, do you share a little worry for your parents, do you feel at ease when I go to school outside? In order to reduce the burden on my parents and earn some living expenses, I set up a street stall thousands of miles away and was bullied and beaten. Broken blood, if it wasn’t for the more than 1000 yuan for subduing the thief, and if it wasn’t for the well-meaning classmates who saw me as pitiful and gave me sponsorship, I would have long since dropped out of school and returned with my bedroll. After taking the big head, have you considered his difficulties? Whoever I tell these things to will pay attention to me. Now none of you are better than our parents and me, but what have you all done? To make them angry is to focus on your own little calculations and touch the few acres of land in front of your parents."

Wu Xiaojun's speeches made Wu Xiaosen speechless, and he didn't know how to answer.

Wu Xiaofu knew that Wu Xiaojun was talking about him, so he wanted to interrupt him as soon as possible, and let him talk for a while. Let’s talk about the land in Kengbei. I think so. The second child has always been worried about that land. He used to try to get out of that land and not want it. My father and third child also agreed to your request. Yu exchange, it is obviously inappropriate for you to say it now, you are slapping yourself in the face. Can you see if this works? My two cents six cents and eight cents from the entrance of the village are still one point away. I am making up for my second child from the north of the entrance of the village. All of our homesteads are divided, so it’s considered finished. I’m building a house on the land in the north of the pit, and all the people at the entrance of the village except the second child belong to Xiaosen.”

Wu Xiaosen hurriedly said, "I think this is very good, anyway, I don't need it, as long as I have a piece of land, it doesn't matter where it is."

"According to what you said, the small pit is still mine."

"It must be yours. Xiaojun said just now that if it was our father's, the three of us would have to fill in the hole now. What do you think?"

"Just fill it in. I don't agree with three people filling it in. Four people have to fill it in."

"What do you say, let me fill it in. The house built by my parents six years ago is not too old. I will admit it, but the three of you must first pay for my school money, my marriage and wife's money, and the money for having children. Give me the money for the full moon for the two of them. Their affairs have been done for me, and I can be regarded as separating from them and setting up a new family. As long as you finish these things, all matters involving the two of them will Personal responsibility, if I say no, I will be hit and killed by a car immediately when I go out. If you think this is feasible, you can settle the score now."

Wu Xiaojun knew which of the three people in front of him was willing to pay, and trying to get a penny from them was more painful than cutting their flesh. "Xiaojun is messing around, this is definitely not acceptable, I firmly disagree." Wu Xiao said angrily.

"Xiaojun said these are just angry words, something that can't be done." Wu Xiaofu said.

"I don't think what Xiaojun said is unreasonable, and what you two said is also reasonable. This matter is really difficult. But there must be a conclusion

Fruit it. "Wu Xiaosen said with a sad face.

"They're all a bunch of cowards, and there isn't a single good one, so you have to piss me off." Wu Pingshun, who had been lying silent on the bed in the middle, finally couldn't bear to speak, wearing the clothes he gave to his mother ten years ago. The wool padded jacket he bought came out tremblingly, pointed at Wu Xiaofu's nose, and cursed viciously, "You bastard, as the boss of the family, you don't show a little face, there is no you two in the west of the county who don't talk about the old and the young, bully your father and teach you!" Mother, beating your sister and scolding your brother, disturbing the whole family, you idiots who are disturbed by gods and ghosts, look at what you have done one by one that can be put on the table for everyone to look up to. It sounds good, only fools will listen If you don’t come out, before I die, you have already planned how to divide me up.”

Turning around, pointing at Wu Xiaoqi's head, "And you, I don't have the same knowledge as you. I keep my mouth shut and I don't go to school. I don't know who will let you go to school. You haven't been to school for a month. , The teacher called the parents four times, saying that he didn't want to live or die, and kicked you back. You don't even see if you are suitable for school, and you have the face to say it."

"You didn't let me go to school. If you let me go to school at that time, I would be the county magistrate now."

"Just like you, you are still a county magistrate. I don't think you can even be a pig-headed team leader. Your child is already in his teens. Aren't you capable? Why don't you send him to school. "

"That's because he doesn't want to go to school, and the school doesn't let him go. What can I do? I want to go to you but don't let me go. It's because you delayed me."

"I still have the nerve to say it hard, I have nothing to say to a crooked person like you. Today I will patiently talk to you a few words. If you agree with Xiaojun's statement, I am willing Go live in the small pit." Gritting his teeth angrily, he squatted down on the ground, bowed his head and smoked non-stop.

Xiaojun's mother said, "Xiaofu, Xiaoqi, don't you know that your father's illness is the most afraid of getting angry, so don't make your father angry anymore. In my opinion, just do what Xiaofu said."

"If Kengbei asks the world to build a house, I have spent so much effort hiring people before, and Ping Ming poured shit into our mouths and Qiuping, and they will pay me compensation. If Xiaosen builds a house, I don't want a penny. "

"How much compensation do you want to pay?"

"At least 380 yuan, I have to give it to me now. This is my hard-earned hard-earned money, but when I go out, no one can say that I ask for money unreasonably, so I have to make a statement."

"Brother, what do you think?"

"As much as you want, I'll go home and get it."
