Dashan Makes a Living 1984

Wang Tianyi rolled his eyes and got off the bicycle with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'm looking for my second brother, have you seen it?"

"Second brother, what a coincidence that you came here. He was still at our house just now, but he just left now."

"Ah, he came to your house?"

"That's right, let's talk about your nephew's full moon."

"Full moon?!"

Wang Tianren was secretly surprised, he didn't even feel it, it turned out that the child was already full moon.

That's right, since the child was born, he has taken the child to the mountains. Don't say that his uncles haven't seen anyone yet, and even the mother, the child's grandma, has never seen her grandson. She only knows that it is a son baby.

"Aren't you talking about it? I heard from the second child that it's something that happens the day after tomorrow, isn't it?"

"Oh... umm, yes, it's the day after tomorrow. I just want to discuss this matter with him, and see how the baby's full moon will be spent."

"He wants the shopkeeper of our family to be the manager. Let me tell you, it's a waste if you don't use it. Don't you often serve as the manager of other people's homes?"

"Haha~" Wang Tianyi laughed dryly, "Isn't this because Brother Dabao is highly respected, and he will save face in arranging labor and procedures. I am not as popular as Brother Dabao."

"Don't say that, your big brother is going to be a production team leader if you die. You are not as smart as you are. You will definitely be the village chief in the future. If not, you will need the help of the boss."

Seeing that the topic was going in an unspeakable direction, Wang Tianren found a reason to end the topic in due course.

He hurriedly rode his bicycle all the way back to the pit yard, leaned the bicycle against the wall, and came to the cave dwelling of his mother Zhang Yufeng.

"Mom, I have something to tell you."

Zhang Yufeng was making shoes for Wang Xiaozhu, and looked up at Wang Tianyi, "Didn't you go to see Lao Wu, why did you come back so soon, but there is something wrong with his health?"

"No, no, it's not the fifth brother's business, it's my second brother. I saw my second brother at the door of my Dabao brother's house just now."

"Huh? What is he going to Dabao's house for?" Zhang Yufeng stopped what she was doing, also surprised.

"You should pay it back, you know. I just learned from Sister Saifen that my second brother is looking for my brother Dabao to be his manager. Wang Peng is going to be full moon."

"That's right," Zhang Yufeng thought for a while, then said calmly, "There are still three days left, so it should be time to prepare. Dabao is the team leader, and he often helps others as the manager. This is not unusual."

"Mom, don't you understand what I said?"

Wang Tianyi jumped on the edge of the kang and sat down, and said anxiously: "Mother, think about it, my second brother's son has a full moon, isn't this a big event in our family, but if I didn't happen to meet it today, then who would know? "

"what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, does my second brother not want us to know about the child's full moon at all? He doesn't count us in it at all, but is going to secretly pass it by himself."

Zhang Yufeng was taken aback.

Her son's words suddenly woke her up, causing her to have this kind of worry for a while.

At first, she didn't think about it at all. Anyway, every grandson's full moon is a big event in the family. She has prepared the longevity lock that she prayed for in the temple for her grandson. When the time comes, she will put it around his neck. Things to do at the ceremony.

She also made two pairs of small tiger-head shoes, a tiger-head hat, and sewed a small jacket for the child...

She never thought that she might miss her grandson's full moon ceremony.

But now that I think about it carefully, it's not impossible with my second child's stubborn temper.

Originally, he was prejudiced against her because of the matter of the third child's family, but last time because of the matter of the fifth child, he broke up again.

He moved to the mountains before, bought coal, and gave some to himself when he hunted wild animals, but since the incident with the fifth child, he has nothing, and he should still be angry.

"Tell me, is this possible?" Wang Tianyi interrupted Zhang Yufeng's memories from the side, and she remembered that she told Tianxin a few days ago that she would go to the mountains to see her child, but she didn't hear back from her second child. Does this matter?

Could it be that he really doesn't intend to recognize me as a mother?

Zhang Yufeng put the things in his hand aside, looked at Wang Tianyi, and murmured, "Fourth brother, do you think I am too strict with your second brother?"

"No." Wang Tianyi shook his head, "A mother has the right to discipline her children, no matter how old and promising a son is, he still has to listen to his mother?"

"Yes, but why did your second brother become like this?"

Wang Tianyi didn't want to continue the topic, so he changed the topic back, "Mother, what if the second brother really doesn't want to call us? At that time, many people in the team and the village will be there, but we have no one in our family. If others make a joke, they will definitely poke their spines and say about us."

Zhang Yufeng nodded, and repeated in his mouth: "Yes, that's what he said. How about it, if he doesn't come to us to discuss it tomorrow, then you can ask him to see how he will arrange it?"

"Shall I go?" Wang Tianyi was short of breath.

"Then who will go? If you can't discuss it well, then mother can talk to him again. It doesn't matter what you think of me as a mother, but don't ruin our Wang family's reputation to the outside world."

Wang Tianyi looked at the row of children's utensils on the opposite box, and sighed: "Mother, the second brother doesn't understand how well you treat him. He just has a stubborn temper and doesn't know how to deal with the world."

Zhang Yufeng shook his head, "Don't talk about this, you really can't do it, just tell Tiancheng, Tiancheng and the second child are related, if the words come out of his mouth, the second child will definitely listen."

"Oh well."

Wang Tianyi had no choice but to agree.

He walked out of his mother's cave, rolled his eyes, and immediately rode his bicycle to the town.

.

Zhang Yufeng has been worrying about this matter since Wang Tianyi left.

She suddenly discovered that there was already a huge gap between her and her second son.

She seemed to be watching her son go further and further away from her, and she didn't want to look back at her again.

From afternoon to night, she just sat against the wall like that, tossing and turning the needlework in her hand, and there was no progress. She sat from dawn to dusk.

It wasn't until Wang Xiaozhu came back from the outside and lit the lamp that she recovered from her ignorance.

"Mom, why are you in a daze, what's wrong?"

Something is wrong, it means sick.

"Oh, Xiao Zhu, you're back."

"It's been a while since I came back. I met my second brother on the road. He entered my sister-in-law Runlan's house. I don't know what to do. I haven't seen my second brother for many days. If it wasn't for the motorcycle, he would I must dare to admit it."

"Then did you talk?"

"I told you, my brother said he would come back later."

"Ah?" Zhang Yufeng was taken aback, and asked uncertainly, "What did you say, your second brother said he would come back later?"

"Well, yes, that's what my brother said."

Wang Xiaozhu put down her schoolbag and started to do her homework by the kerosene lamp, but Zhang Yufeng became a little nervous. Her mind was a little messed up, and several thoughts tossed her over and over again, making her completely lost her mind.

Every time the gate of the pit yard rang, her heart trembled.

I thought it was Wang Tianxiao who had already returned home.

But the middle times were other people, and there were more times, all of which were made by the wind.

Waiting until after nine o'clock in the evening, Wang Xiaozhu was already asleep, and when she was completely desperate, the door rang again. Following a few footsteps, Wang Tianxiao asked outside the door: "Mother, are you asleep?"

Zhang Yufeng forced herself to calm down, and said in a deep voice, "Not yet, is Tianxiao back?"

"Well, it's me, I have something to tell you."

"Come in, I didn't knock the door."

The door opened and Wang Tianxiao entered the room with a cold air.

The wind made the flame of the kerosene lamp flicker, and it almost went out several times, but in the end, I managed to persevere.

Zhang Yufeng stretched out her hand to block the wind, but barely let the fire go out.

She suddenly felt very emotional, feeling that the mother-child relationship between herself and the son in front of her had unknowingly reached a very dangerous situation, just like this flame, it was just lingering, and if a sudden strong wind came, it might be completely extinguished.

This made her couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

A little pain.

His wife died early, and she brought so many children by herself, so she really didn't take good care of everyone.

She is so tired.

So the feelings towards the children are also different.

It's not that she will be partial to which child is obedient, but the more obedient the child, the less she will pay attention to it.

It is also helpless to say.

Although they are all her own children, people have different personalities and abilities. The more sensible the child is, the less she has to worry about, and she can let him help take care of the family as much as possible.

On the contrary, those ignorant children are always concerned about her heart.

She knew it was unfair, but they were all her own children, and she also didn't want anyone to live alone.

In the early years, many families with conditions like hers gave away their children to others, and distributed them as son-in-law. Everyone persuaded her to do the same, but she looked at the children and was reluctant to give up any of them. .

After a lot of hard work, they finally pulled each one into adulthood.

During this period, the older the child, the more disadvantaged he will be.

The boss and the second child are the ones who suffer the most.

But in comparison, although the eldest is capable and has taken on a lot of responsibilities for the family, the eldest left early after all, and the second child is the one who really follows him to take care of his younger siblings.

Second child...

My own son has been stubborn since he was a child. He doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't know how to make trouble. He has the same virtue as his dead wife. It's hard for people to like him.

She thought to herself that it was only natural for the older one to take care of the younger one.

Because she is too old to take care of her, she thinks that the children should help the mother to share some burdens, which is a matter of course.

However……

A series of recent events made her suddenly wake up.

There is nothing wrong with children taking on heavy responsibilities, but they can't always be done alone.

This family has developed to the current state, and the relationship between the children is very stiff. It sounds like their problem, but in fact it has a lot to do with my failure to reconcile from the middle and not evenly distribute mother's love to each child.

Reminds me of what happened a month ago.

That day Tianxiao held the knife and looked at himself with anger, he must have accumulated countless resentments in his heart.

It's just that I didn't realize it at the beginning, and I still wanted to use my mother's identity to force him to obey.

So, he didn't let himself take care of the child, and the child will be full moon after birth, and he hasn't seen this grandson yet, so he doesn't know what he looks like.

Son, there must be resentment in my heart.
