The Happiness of Rebirth in the 80s

Chapter 90

Gao's father and Gao's mother are typical objects of envy in Gaojiatun. The children in the family are more promising than the other. The most important thing is to be filial and sensible. Among other things, two of the five children in the family must go home to grow old every week. Look, everyone has to pack a lot when they go home.This comparison instantly compared other people's children to white-eyed wolves.

Although Gaojiatun is a wealthy village with ten miles and eight towns, after all, the economic level of the whole society is there, and everyone can only eat enough. A few old men and old ladies brought their grandsons and granddaughters to rub their mouths to eat.It's fine for adults, but children are here, so they can't just watch.

Gao's father is old now, and his temper has changed a lot compared to when he was young. When he sees the children coming over, he will take the initiative to bring food. Although Gao's mother has always been stingy, it is good to be trained by her son and daughter's rich and powerful posture these years I eat a lot, so I don't care about eating so little.

In fact, it's not that Gao's mother has become generous, but that she cares about children.She has three sons and two daughters, and her grandchildren add up to more, but since Gao Aiguo also moved to the city last year, there is not a single grandson around her.Now even a little granddaughter is very sweet when she comes back.What the elderly want when they are old is nothing more than a house full of children and grandchildren, but with so many children not by their side, they can only look at other people's children with greed.Gao's mother felt a little wronged in her heart.

But it's useless to be wronged. No matter how filial they are, the three brothers of the Gao family will not send the child back to her to take care of. The reason for moving to the city after all the effort is to let the child receive the best education.Although Gaojiatun also has an elementary school, how can it be the same? The two children of Gao Aiguo both graduated from the village primary school. talent.

Gao Haohao is only in the first grade of elementary school and can write a decent calligraphy, but Gao Aiguo's two children can't do anything.There is a real gap, which is why Gao Aiguo would rather move to the city if he doesn't have enough money.The reason why people work so hard all their lives is for their children.So even though Gao's mother wanted to let her grandson come back to accompany her, Gao's father never agreed.

Now there are few children in the family, Gao Aijun and Gao Xiuer's family is even more serious, there is only one child, not even a girl doll.All the hope of a lifetime can be counted on this baby bump.

But just looking at other people's grandsons is not a solution, and being pushed by others, Gao's mother moved to live in the city, talking to Gao's father at home all day long, until Gao's father also talked about it Moved.In the past two years, other people have lived in the land of the family, so the old couple kept the private land in front of the house to grow some vegetables, and the family did not raise pigs, so they raised some chickens.Just tell others to feed it, and there is no drag.It is also good to live in the city.If you can't get used to it, you can come back.

Father Gao is the patriarch of the entire Gao family, so he nodded his head and it became a fact.But where to go is still a question.The old couple discussed it and decided to go to the second one.

The elders just moved to the city last year and lived in a high-rise building. Although the old couple are still very agile in their hands and feet, they are old after all, and climbing the fifth floor every day is unbearable.Gao's mother wanted to live with her youngest son, but Gao Aijun's family bought a small house at the beginning, and now that the children are grown up, it is impossible for the old couple to live there.After thinking about it, Gao Aimin's place is the most suitable place. The house is big and there is a small yard.The most important thing is that there is convenient transportation near Gao Aimin's house, and it is also convenient to go to other children's houses.

Gao Aimin was very happy when he heard that the two elders in his family were coming to live. Now that he is getting busier, he has less and less time to go back to the village. However, there is no one around the two elders in the village. Gao’s father fell ill in the middle of the night Although many years have passed, he still has lingering fears.It's not that he didn't think about letting the two elders live in the city, but he pushed it away after talking to his father a few times, so he can only spend so much time.

Liu Tao'er didn't have any objections either. Since Gao's father fell ill, her mother-in-law's attitude towards her has improved a lot. Although there have been occasional frictions these years, they get along pretty well.Moving the two elders to the city will save them a lot of trouble.But Liu Tao'er guessed that the two elders might not live for long.When I first moved here, even a child as young as Tongtong couldn't get used to it, let alone an old man who had lived in the countryside all his life.

Liu Tao'er's guess was right. A few days before she came to live in the city, Gao's mother was in high spirits and was new to everything.Even Gao's father, who has always been calm, went to the company stores of his sons and daughters with great interest.

But this interest lasted for a short time, not even a week.Whenever there is free time in the village, everyone will get together, even after eating, they can go to other people's houses with their rice bowls to talk about the mountains.But this is not the case in the city. Everyone has a strong sense of privacy and doesn't often visit.It's fine for Liu Taoer and the others to be like this, at least there is a yard, like the kind of building Gao Aiguo lives in, where he spends his time upstairs all day long, without even a place to walk around.But the two elders were suffocated.

The second thing I am not used to is that I have to buy even the root of onion and garlic in the city. Like before in the village, I can pull it from my own vegetable garden. Even if I don’t have it, I can pick some from other houses.After buying and eating every day, Gao's mother couldn't take it anymore in just a few days, and she just clamored to open a piece of land in the yard to grow vegetables.By the way, I caught two chickens and raised them.The Gao family's yard was not very big in the first place, except for the pomegranate tree that Liu Tao'er had put a lot of effort into over the past two years, and now it has just taken shape.Fiery red pomegranates, lush grape trellises, and several bright flowers blooming.It brings vitality to the small yard.But as long as she thinks that the yard that she has been taking care of for several years before it looks a little bit, and that Gao's mother has pulled out all the vegetables and poured some manure, Liu Taoer will feel a little embarrassing.

Liu Tao'er has relatively high requirements for the quality of life. She used to be fine in the village, but now that she has money, she must try her best to live a better life.So I can only persuade Mother Gao every day to let her give up the attention of hitting her own yard.He also worked with Gao's mother and poured manure in the yard, even the neighbors couldn't bear it.

The third point is on the issue of educating children.Gao Tongtong grew up playing guqin in elementary school, and Gao Haohao learned calligraphy in elementary school. The two children had to practice at least two hours a day.Liu Taoer has never been willing to relax when it comes to children's education.But when Gao's mother came here, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her grandson. Because of the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who had eased in the past few years, it was inevitable that there would be some friction on the issue of educating the grandson.Fortunately, Gao's father understands the truth and stops Gao's mother every time.

But after going back and forth like this, the two elders clamored to go home after living for a month.It’s good to be in the city. My son’s home has a color TV, refrigerator, washing machine, and telephone, and my daughter-in-law has three meals a day.But the old couple just felt suffocated, and their spirits, which were not bad, had dropped a lot.

Even Gao's father said that he misses the old man in the village. The always restrained Gao's father said such words, which shows that he was suffocated.Several children came over one after another to persuade them, but it was useless.In the end, Gao Xing'er and Gao Aiguo, the two big bosses, sent the two old people back to Gaojiatun.

As soon as they got home, the two of them were like fish that had struggled on land for a long time before returning to the water, even breathing a little easier.Take a look to the left and look at your own home, how spacious and bright the yard looks, and how convenient the chicken and vegetables are to eat.

After tidying up the house, Gao's mother and Gao's father went to find their old buddy.When other people see the old couple moved back from the city, they are inevitably a little curious, and they all ask, "Why did you two come back when you didn't enjoy life in the city?"

Finally found a bosom friend, and Gao's mother described the experience of herself and her wife in the village for more than a month in detail, "Oh, you don't know, life in this city is not as good as in our village. I’m holding back at home, and I don’t even go out. I want to eat garlic, so I have to go to the vegetable market to sell it. It’s not like we are in the village, and we can eat whatever we want. I originally planned to open the yard of the second family’s house The vegetable field came out, but my daughter-in-law said that it is not allowed to pour manure in the yard, or other people will have opinions. Tell me how can this kind of vegetables not be fertilized." Seeing the attention of others, Gao's mother became more and more talkative. Interested.

"You tell me that I am going to enjoy the blessings, or to suffer. So although the children have been staying with us, but think about it, they are still at home. I can't live a day like that." Mother Gao said, she I thought so too.

In the city, even if you say a few words out loud, others will watch you, but in the village, you can say whatever you want, and say it out loud
Gao's mother's place is lively, and Gao's father's is not too bad.He likes to play chess, so he played a few games with his old buddy when he came back to satisfy his hunger.These days he was suffocated, and he was always wandering around the yard of the second child's house all day long.Both the second child and the family of the second child have to go to work, the children have to go to school, even on Sundays, they have to learn some calligraphy and guqin, except for my wife, there is no one to talk to her every day, let alone play chess.His chess addiction is not small, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't play a few games every day.

The old chess friend next to him saw that Gao's father had played a few games and was still so interested, so he said: "It seems that living in the city is not so good, and no one even plays chess." The bong was also filled with a little tobacco leaf. "I know you have good ones, but this is the one that is enough to say."

Father Gao was also polite, took a deep breath on the tobacco leaves, and squinted his eyes in enjoyment.Still, this stuff suits my appetite, the so-called good cigarettes my son gave me are far worse
