Dashan Makes a Living 1984

"It's okay, I told my mother that she wants to watch her grandson at home and has no time to go to the hospital to accompany her."

"That's it," Qin Xiaoling nodded, "That's fine, let's go back now, I'll explain to Guanping and Guanhong."

"Okay."

Wang Tianxiao straddled the motorcycle, keeping a very slow distance and keeping pace with his mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law was also very curious about this motorcycle. Wang Tianxiao said it belonged to a friend. The mother-in-law had no concept of the price of this kind of thing, so she didn't care.

After bypassing two fields, I returned to the gate of the yard of my mother-in-law's house.

The mother-in-law's family also lived in the pit yard in the early years, but because a flood flooded the yard, even the only donkey in the family drowned in the pit yard, and the family moved to the original place to live.

The rammed earth walls of the newly built house, and the courtyard door made of wooden boards, through which a few chickens can be seen running around.

There are six children in the mother-in-law's family, three sons and three daughters.

The eldest, Li Guanlin, is married and separated, but he still lives in the courtyard and has not opened another courtyard.

Li Yali is the second child and is married.

The third child is Li Yaqin, who is also married.

The fourth child is Li Guanping, who is the same age as Wang Tiancheng this year, both eighteen years old.

The fifth child is Li Yamei, a fifteen-year-old half-grown girl who is still in junior high school.

The youngest son is Li Guanhong, ten years old and still in elementary school.

The Li family was also very surprised to see Wang Tianxiao, especially the few children. It felt like they hadn't seen Wang Tianxiao a few times.

They saw that Wang Tianxiao was still a little shy, Li Guanhong and Li Yamei hid in the room and did not dare to come out, while Li Guanping just stood beside his father, and smiled innocently after calling out brother-in-law.

The Li family's children were very good, especially Li Guanping and Li Guanhong, both of them were very honest and hardworking men. Later, they were well-known bricklayers.

Li Yamei's fate was ill-fated.

This child's academic performance is quite good, but he dropped out of school because he had no money, and later married someone hastily, but he did not expect to be a domestic violence man, divorced and married another person, and was also a gambler.

After finally raising the two children, the man basically stopped gambling, but the man died of lung cancer in his fifties.

"Tianxiao hasn't returned to work yet?" Li Wanfu is repairing a wooden bench. He is a carpenter and is very good at tidying up these things.

Because the last time I went to see Li Yali, Wang Tianxiao was at home.

Therefore, Wang Tianxiao told his father-in-law that he had been transferred back and that Li Yali was going to give birth in the hospital. Li Wanfu nodded while listening, and when he heard that Li Yali was going to give birth soon, a kind and joyful smile appeared on his face.

"...So, I discussed it with my aunt and asked my aunt to take care of it for a few days."

"Then go, there is nothing wrong at home, I will come to see you after the baby is born."

Li Guanhong and Li Yamei also ran out and stood beside Mother, "Mother, eldest sister is going to have a baby, I want to see it too."

"I also need to go."

"What are you doing, you haven't given birth yet." Qin Xiaoling said with a smile.

"I'm going, I haven't seen my eldest sister for a long time." Li Guanhong said coquettishly.

"obedient."

"I don't."

"Okay, okay, let's not go today, how about brother-in-law pick up Yamei and Guanhong to see my sister and nephew after the baby is born?"

Li Wanfu also made the two children obedient, and they reluctantly agreed.

After settling down here, Wang Tianxiao tied the clothes his mother-in-law brought to the back seat of the motorcycle, and then quietly slipped two hundred yuan into his father-in-law while the children were not paying attention.

This is the zero line he prepared in advance, and it is available in denominations of ten and five yuan, which is convenient for him to use.

The father-in-law originally thought it was difficult for Wang Tianxiao to ride a motorcycle, but now that he gave back so much money, he was so startled that his hands trembled, and he kept saying that he couldn't take it.

But Wang Tianxiao still made him accept it with difficulty.

Now that his life is getting better, it is natural to make those who treat him well also feel better.

Now I just give some money, and later he will slowly help a few sisters-in-law and brother-in-law to pave the way, so that they can study, start a business, and live a happy life slowly.

Of course, he also told his father-in-law not to tell the children about the money.

Just quietly subsidize the family.

The eldest uncle Li Guanlin is like a vampire. He is an iron cock, but he has been attached to his parents to suck blood. Obviously they have separated, and they have not gone out yet, and hang out at home.

He is cold-tempered and shrewd. If he knew that his old father had two hundred yuan, he would do everything possible to get it away or get some of it into his own hands.

Wang Tianxiao also has a lot of opinions on Li Guanlin's family.

Don't wait to see them.

In the previous life, my father-in-law passed away early, and my mother-in-law accidentally fell when she was in her sixties, and her rib pierced her lung, resulting in long-term paralysis on the kang and unable to move.

It stands to reason that if the mother is like this, the three daughters will take turns to take care of daily life, and the sons will be responsible for some expenses.

But Li Guanlin didn't give any money at all. The reason was that his child Li Mingqiang wanted to study and the family had no income.

What's more, even though his mother-in-law died in the end, when it came to funeral expenses, Li Guanlin still had the attitude of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, because he had no money anyway.

In the end, the remaining five were shared equally.

But according to the customs of Qingcheng, when a daughter gets married, she is actually a different family, and she and her natal family have to settle accounts.

This is the reason for the so-called water splashed by a married daughter.

Because when you get married, the bride price is very high, and the dowry is very small, which is equivalent to packing your daughter out at once.

It's a bad habit, but it's also a custom.

Sometimes the son-in-law almost goes bankrupt in order to marry his wife, and it is really embarrassing for them to treat the father-in-law and mother-in-law as relatives.

And the daughter also had a difficult life because her parents extorted all the money from the new family, so she inevitably had some opinions on her parents.

This custom gradually improved.

The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Li Guanlin is like this, and so are his two children.

The two children grew up with their grandma, but after the granddaughter got married, she never saw her once every time she went back to her natal home, and the grandson was even more outrageous. When her grandma passed away, she didn't go home because she wanted to spend her honeymoon.

It can only be said that the family's temperament is extremely cold.

A warm-hearted person like Wang Tianxiao couldn't urinate in the same pot at all.

Li Wanfu naturally knew what his son-in-law meant. Seeing that he couldn't push it, he had to carefully wrap the money in his "ancestral" black handkerchief, put it in the pocket of his underwear, and pressed it lightly with his hands.

As long as people travel outside in this era, the clothes inside will definitely make a pocket for money.

Because there are too many thieves.

Often when you go to the market and walk from south to north, a five-pointed star can be drawn for you in the pocket of your clothes.
