"Isn't that Erbai from the cauliflower family? Why did you come back with your suitcase this year?"
In Tuanjie Village, some villagers watched the gentle young son of the host family dragging a large suitcase of more than 30 inches, with large and small bags hanging on his back, hands, and luggage handles, just like moving. coming from afar.
"Aunt Ma, Uncle National Army, Uncle Ah San..."
Su Aobai greeted the people who were walking towards him.
Hey, it's really that kid from the Su family!
Everyone nodded in response, and one of them, a middle-aged woman with a long face and a somewhat mean look, stared at his luggage with a gossip, and asked curiously: "Erbai, you have big bags, what should you do?" Aren't they all gifts for your mother and Susu?"
This woman is the Aunt Ma whom Su Aobai just called.
In Tuanjie Village, there are two shrews who should not be messed with. One is Yuanshen's own mother, Deng Caihua, and the other is the woman in front of her, Ma Aifang.
These two have been facing each other since they were young, I will have what you don't have, and I will be better and stronger than you if you have it.
First they compared their parents, then they compared their married men, and then they compared their respective sons. In the past few decades, Deng Caihua had been holding steady against Ma Aifang. Cauliflower's man had better skills, and later he was promoted to the team captain, and Ma Aifang's man was still working under the hands of Deng Caihua's man.
But the law and order in those years was far worse than it is now. Once two men got out of the car together, but they encountered a road blocker.
Life as a widow is not easy. Although there is a pension from the team, young widows and young children will always be harassed by some bastards. The two women are forced to use aggressive, tricky, and unreasonable Arming herself, she forcibly tossed herself into a well-known shrew that no one dared to provoke.
In this village, the only people who can make them angry are each other.
Without a man, two women began to compare children.
Deng Caihua has two sons, the eldest son Su Yiqing, and the second son is Su Aobai.
Originally, the man who died early in the Su family thought of names for the first two children when Deng Caihua first married and was not pregnant, so he chose them according to Yiqing and Erbai. It was like a curse, so the couple thought of a homonym.
However, the homonym of Er is hard to find, and it always sounds like the meaning is not good. The man Deng Caihua found a teacher who taught him how to drive, and asked him for a word, which is the similar pronunciation of Er, Ao.
Deng Caihua raised two sons as a woman without the support of her parents-in-law. It was far more difficult than Ma Aifang, who had only one son to support and her parents-in-law were still alive.
But Deng Caihua not only brought up the two children, but also both of them were competitive. Since elementary school, their grades have been among the best, and they have been admitted to good universities.
In stark contrast is Ma Aifang's son Lin Zhiyong, who didn't like to study when he was a child. He barely got a vocational high school during the high school entrance examination, and went out to work after graduation.
Those years were also the years when Ma Aifang could not hold her head up the most.
Who knows that Feng Shui turns around, Lin Zhiyong can't study well, but he has other luck, the owner's daughter of the car repair shop he worked part-time took a fancy to him at a glance. After getting the car, even the car repair shop was gradually handed over to Lin Zhiyong.
Not to mention, Lin Zhiyong is flexible enough. In his hands, the scale of the car repair shop has expanded several times. The money he earned was used to repair a three-story bungalow for his mother. Every time he came back, he always gave her a lot of pocket money .
In the middle, Lin Zhiyong also proposed to take her to live in the city, but Ma Aifang always said that he was not used to the lifestyle of city people and declined. Lin Zhiyong wanted to hire her a nanny, but Ma Aifang said that he was not used to being served by others because he had hands and feet. And refuse.
For this reason, Lin Zhiyong can only use more money to make up for his regret that he cannot be filial to the elderly.
In this way, Ma Aifang, who lives in a small western-style building and wears gold and silver, has transformed into the most proud woman in the village.
As for Deng Caihua, it doesn't mean that she is not doing well, it's just that she is not doing so well compared to Ma Aifang who wanders around the village in gold and silver every day.
Deng Caihua's eldest son, Su Yiqing, took the public examination in his senior year, and successfully landed in that year, becoming a civil servant with a stable job and great prestige and weight in the hearts of the elders.
In the second year after entering the unit, he met his current wife, Kong Yao, under the introduction of the unit leader. The other party was an elementary school teacher who was editing.
Kong Yao’s family is in another village in the same county. Her parents are also farming in the countryside. She is the only child in the family. Too many children to support.
After the young couple got married, they saved money together to make up the down payment for the house, and then they had a son with a long-cherished wish. They wanted to raise a child, and they also had to pay off the mortgage and car loan. These two relatively decent but definitely not high-paying jobs made them want to give back to their parents Also powerless.
Of course, Deng Caihua will never ask for money from the children, at most she will accept the big red envelopes from her son and daughter-in-law on her birthday and during the Chinese New Year.
Su Yiqing and his daughter-in-law Kong Yao are also very filial. They always take their son back to the countryside several times a month to buy some food that is not easy to buy in the countryside for her to freeze in the refrigerator. , and at the same time talk to her, let the child meet grandma.
Similarly, the younger couple will also visit Kong Yao's home to visit the elders, and treat both parents equally.
Therefore, Su Yiqing, who has a decent job and has a family, is definitely considered good among children of the same age.
It was Deng Caihua's second son, Su Aobai, who made the villagers sigh.
This child's father died before he was one year old, unlike his elder brother Su Yiqing, at least I was already seven years old when I died, and I can remember things. I have enjoyed the love of my father and the rich and prosperous life when I was alive.
Su Yiqing was sensible early, so like his mother, he felt very sorry for this younger brother/son who had no father since he was a child, so he lived in the protective circle of his mother and brother since he was a child, but because Su Yiqing had to go to school Because of studying, the original body was most affected by his mother, Deng Caihua. He is a baby boy, and he doesn't know how to deal with anything without his mother's decision.
Because of this lack of assertiveness, although he was always the first and second in the written test in the public examination, he was always overtaken by the candidates who ranked behind him in the interview.
Later, the original body worked in an ordinary company and lived a 996-style life squeezed by capitalists.
The original body's grades were good, and the university and major he was admitted to were also very popular in the recruitment market. Therefore, although his temper was not lively enough, but after participating in the work, relying on a solid enough knowledge reserve to cover his head and work, slowly He was also recognized by the leaders, and his salary was increased several times. Before he knew it, although his job was not as decent as that of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, his salary was more than the sum of the two.
Because of the good income, Yuanzheng also quickly found a partner, and after getting along for a while, they entered the palace of marriage.
In the second year of marriage, she gave birth to her daughter, Su Su. In the same year, Yuanzhen's wife got an opportunity to work abroad. She is an ambitious woman who has plans for her career. She married and had children early in order to complete her career as soon as possible. These two are the most important life events in the eyes of the elders, and then put all the focus of future life on career.
She chose Yuanshen because she felt that Yuanshen was a man who was easy to control. In the future, she could give up her career for her career, return to her family, and take care of her children, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. This opportunity to work abroad made her plan All came to nothing.
If she is still living together in the same place, when one person must sacrifice her job to take care of the family, she can still confidently ask the original person to sacrifice herself. On the premise that she can have a better future and want to stay in that developed country forever, even if she is such an egoist, she is too embarrassed to let this man delay her life for herself.
So after deciding to go abroad, she directly filed for divorce from the original body. The house is the down payment paid by the original body, and the part of the loan after marriage is supposed to belong to the common property. She does not want this part of the share. .
In this way, after more than two years of marriage, Yuanshen got divorced again, and had an extra daughter who needed someone to take care of her.
Obviously, he couldn't take care of his daughter while working and earning money, so Yuanshen immediately thought of his mother. After discussing, Deng Caihua took his little granddaughter back to the countryside to take care of her, and Yuanshen paid for living expenses every month to go back.
Originally, he was an uninitiated person, and people around him often said whatever they said. Love and marriage were first proposed by the woman, and the woman asked for a divorce. He just called his wife at a loss and asked his wife to talk to her. He didn't know the flicks and jumps in the process of the two finally reaching a consensus. He only knew that in the end, his wife told him that he couldn't keep this daughter-in-law, so he might as well let her go. He obediently followed that woman to get a divorce certificate.
Now that the old lady arranges his daughter in this way, he has no objection, and is still his 996 social animal, and only occasionally has a day or two to go home to visit the old lady and the daughter.
Deng Caihua has never shown off her youngest son's salary to the outside world, so in the eyes of the outside world, it is undoubtedly a failure to work in a private company, his wife ran away, left a small oil bottle and troubled his old mother to take care of him.
In the competition between Deng Caihua and Ma Aifang's son, the original body undoubtedly dragged the boss's hind legs, allowing Ma Aifang to overtake in a curve, and finally left Deng Caihua's old enemy behind.
"I resigned."
Su Aobai said frankly to Aunt Shangma's gossiping eyes.
The Su Su mentioned by Aunt Ma just now is the nickname of her daughter Su Su. Su Su is three and a half years old this year, and she is a very cute little girl.
Aunt Ma let out a bluff, "Why did you resign when you were so good?"
Is he planning to go back to the countryside with his big bags and small bags? Good guy, it's not enough for Deng Caihua to help him raise his children, now even he has come home to torment his old mother.
"Is your boss mad at you? It's okay. You don't know. Brother Zhiyong opened another branch some time ago, and there is a shortage of manpower. You are also a high-achieving student from a prestigious university. Let your brother Zhiyong do whatever you want." It's not easy to assign you a management job."
Ma Aifang emphasized the word "famous university". She remembered that when Deng Caihua's two sons were admitted to a good university, their tails were so high that she avoided it, and the woman caught her and stuffed her two. Bring the wedding candy, but it **** her off.
Now it seems that studying well does not necessarily lead to success. If Deng Caihua is willing to say something nice to her, she will definitely let her son arrange a good job for Su Laoer.
The people on the side showed a clear expression.
As expected, Ma Aifang is still different from Deng Caihua. This is to show off her son's ability. If Deng Caihua's son really works under her son's hands in the future, Deng Caihua will have to be a head shorter than her in the future.
But if you want to think that way, who is not envious at the scene?
Before, many people in the village wanted to ask Lin Zhiyong to arrange work for their children through Ma Aifang, but Ma Aifang always thought that it was his in-law's company, and she was not good at being a mother-in-law to arrange for her own people, lest Li Xia, Gua Tian, would refuse as an excuse.
This is the first time she has promised that her son will arrange work for her. Even if it is to compete with Deng Caihua, this benefit is true.
The people next to him wished they could agree on behalf of Su Laoer. He was not very capable, so he went to work for Lin Zhiyong, who grew up with him, so he was still worried about being bullied by Lin Zhiyong?
The children of these two families are not the same as their cockfighting old mothers, and it is good to have a small relationship.
"I have been busy with work these years, and now I want to take a break and spend time with my mother and Susu."
Su Aobai politely declined Aunt Ma's offer.
This made Ma Aifang very anxious. Is this kid really not going out to make money? Do you still expect Deng Caihua to raise him?
Come on, that woman has a sharp mouth, a body as thin as the door of her house, and she doesn't enjoy the blessings of her children even at her age. She really can.
If she is exhausted, who will argue with her in the future?
Aunt Ma's long face is getting longer and longer, no, she has to call her son and ask him to talk to the boss of the host family, but she can't let the boss of their family mess around like that. Thinking of this, Ma Aifang hurried over go home.
＊＊＊＊＊
When Su Aobai returned home with big bags and small bags, Deng Caihua was watering the vegetable field in the front yard, covering her head with a wet towel under the sun, rubbing her chest from time to time, her complexion looked a little pale.
"mom!"
Hearing the voice of her beloved youngest son, Deng Caihua turned her head in surprise.
"Erbai!"
Although when choosing the name, I felt that the combination of the two characters "erbai" and "erbai" sounded like a curse, which was not pleasant, but in the end, this name became the nickname of the original body. They all shouted that.
The old lady put the ladle into the bucket beside her and greeted her happily.
The little girl, who was sweating profusely and blushing, was looking for watermelon worms in the vegetable field, also raised her head, but because she lifted her head too hard, her chubby body leaned back and sat down on the ground.
She blinked her eyes twice, and was just about to howl when she saw her grandma rushing to her father's side eagerly. The little girl tilted her head and thought about the effort it would take to cry. Standing up on the ground, he patted the dirt on his buttocks, and with his short legs, he also rushed towards the man who appeared without saying hello.
"dad!"
The baby called Dad in a childish voice, and the short and fat three-headed body circled Su Aobai and grandma like a fat butterfly.
It was those big eyes that kept falling on the luggage that Su Aobai was carrying.
Dad = snacks = toys!
The little girl sucked her saliva, and hugged the suitcase bigger than the three of her with her chubby little hands, wishing she could just get into it.
"Why didn't you say hello when you came back?"
After Deng Caihua finished speaking, she noticed the big and small bags her son was carrying.
This is…
Before he could open his mouth to ask, because he was too excited just now, and because he was walking too fast, he felt dizzy for a moment.
If it wasn't for Su Aobai's quick eyes and quick hands to support her, the old lady would have fallen headfirst to the ground.
"It's all right, it's too hot, mom just sit down and take it easy."
Deng Caihua waved her hand. She felt a little uncomfortable when she got up today, and now there is a buzzing in her ears.
But the older generation loves to endure any discomfort, and Deng Caihua didn't take this discomfort seriously.
"No, Mom, your face is too ugly. I'll take you to the hospital."
Su Aobai put down the big and small bags on his body and didn't bother to tidy them up. He was about to go out with the woman's hand, and of course he didn't forget to tell his daughter to let her follow.
The little girl drooled and looked at those who were left in place, and then looked at her father and grandma eagerly.
What about going to the hospital?
Is grandma getting poked too?
The little girl thought that grandma would definitely cry, and she had to stay by her side to comfort grandma.
So she no longer struggled, and trotted after him.
In the memory of the original body, his mother died of a sudden myocardial infarction the day after tomorrow, and then the world changed drastically. In that shocking change that affected people's lifestyles for decades, Deng Caihua disappeared. This backbone, Yuanchen not only made his life a mess, but also dragged down his only daughter, Su Su.
After Su Aobai came to this world, he resolutely chose to resign and return to his hometown.
In addition to preventing the death of his mother, it was also to deal with the great changes that followed.
