The old man was the eldest son of the secretary's family.

He could not accept that his father, whom he had admired since childhood, was a beast worse than pigs and dogs.

He cut himself with a knife.

When Mrs. Xu heard the news, she sighed: "Such a good person, how could he be so depressed?"

Xu Jianguo did not go to work today: "Mom, I'll go and see."

Mrs. Xu sighed lightly: "Go, take a few more people with you to help with the funeral."

After such a big thing happened, I'm afraid the Hehua family would not be in the mood to handle his funeral.

When Xu Jianguo arrived at the secretary's house, the eldest son's wife and the secretary's wife had fainted, the children were crying, and the house was in a mess.

Xu Jianguo asked people to clean the house and asked Hehua to get a broken mat.

Hehua searched for a long time before she found a broken mat in the warehouse.

Xu Jianguo put the mat on the ground, and then he and others lifted the body on it and found a cloth to cover the body.

Hehua knew that it would cost money to handle the funeral, so she ran to the house and searched for a long time before she found 20 yuan and gave it to Xu Jianguo: "Uncle, that man didn't give my mother the money. My mother only has this much. You take it first. If it's less, I'll find a way."

Although Xu Jianguo had a job, he had only been working for a few days and didn't have much money, so he took it calmly: "Okay, I'll try to keep it within 20 yuan."

Hehua looked grateful: "Thank you, uncle."

Xu Jianguo waved his hand and said: "We are all from the same village, why say thank you!"

...

The result of the secretary's matter came out on the third day.

He was punished to go to a farm in the northeast.

The villagers applauded: "He deserves it, evil will be punished!"

"Why don't you shoot him? Such people shouldn't live in the world!"

"Oh, what a sin, I can't control that thing, and it hurts the whole family!"

"..."

The secretary left on the fourth day. When he came back to get his luggage, he saw the body on the ground, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

His wife rushed up to him and cried and scratched him: "Go away, go away, don't show up in front of me, go away, beast..."

The secretary didn't come back alone, there were staff members beside him, he stopped the woman who continued to scratch people: "Comrade, comrade, calm down!"

The woman cried heartbreakingly: "How can you let me calm down? He destroyed this family, how can I calm down?"

Hehua walked over to support the shaky woman: "Mom, don't cry, tears are the most worthless things. The more this happens, the more we have to live like a human being and make him angry to death."

These two days, Xu Jiajia came to accompany Hehua whenever she had time.

Xu Jiajia talked to her a lot and instilled a lot of modern ideas.

Lotus was somewhat affected.

The woman grabbed Lotus's hand: "My daughter, I am sorry for you. If I had discovered your abnormality earlier, you would not have been abused like this.

What a beast.

Why didn't the thunder god kill him!"

Lotus' eyes were red, tears rolled in them, but they did not flow out: "Mom, let him go, time will prove everything."

The woman looked at her strong appearance, and felt even more distressed. She wanted to rush up and fight with the beast.

The day the secretary left, the eldest brother was also buried.

The family seemed to have restored the tranquility of the past, but it was still different.

The villagers occasionally discussed the affairs of the former secretary's family, but once the team leader heard it, they would be punished.

He never did it in vain, and directly fined work points.

These days, work points are food, money, and everyone's lifeblood.

After two people were fined, everyone knew the seriousness of the matter, so how could they dare to discuss the affairs of the former secretary's family behind their backs.

Without everyone's gossip, the Hehua family felt better.

After the incident was exposed, Wang Xiulan became more introverted, her mouth was smelly, and she didn't speak.

Her husband didn't know how to face her, and they slept in separate beds.

In the middle of a thunderstorm.

Wang Xiulan hanged herself.

On the day of her suicide, her family came and had a dispute.

Everyone thought that she committed suicide because of what her family said.

Her husband hugged her body and cried bitterly: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have ignored you, it's my fault, it's my fault..."

Everyone was heartbroken when they heard this cry.

Alas.

A good family just broke up like this!

On the day Wang Xiulan was buried, her husband also ended his life with a bottle of pesticide, leaving only three young children.

In just a few days, three people died in the family.

Hehua's mother was heartbroken and wanted to follow her, but there were still young children at home, so she

The mission has not been completed yet, so he can only live in disgrace.

Xu family.

Xu Jianguo sat on the bench and sighed: "Do you think Huizi is stupid? It's so good to be alive, why can't he think of death?

Who will take care of the three children after he leaves?"

Mrs. Xu was also upset. The old beast made a mistake, but three young people had to pay for it!

He should be the one to die!

Xu Jiajia was eating melon seeds nearby: "If you can't get over it, and keep it in your heart for a long time, you will get depression even if you don't die."

It was the first time that Grandma Xu and Xu Jianguo heard the word depression. They looked at Xu Jiajia and asked in unison: "Granddaughter, what is depression?"

"My daughter, is depression scary?"

Xu Jiajia organized her words and said slowly: "Depression is a continuous low mood, and you have no energy to do anything.

To put it simply, it means that you have entered a dead end and can't get out, and sometimes you will doubt yourself.

In serious cases, you will commit suicide."

Grandma Xu took a breath: "Oh my god, there is such a disease, it's terrible!"

Xu Jiajia knew that the matter of the Lotus family also affected Xu Jianguo. She patted his shoulder and said: "Dad, Bad emotions must be thrown away far away, so that the body will be healthy and life will be sunny. "

Xu Jianguo was frightened by the depression mentioned by Xu Jiajia, so he dared not think nonsense: "I will only think positively in the future."

Xu Jiajia snapped her fingers: "That's how it should be."

The three chatted for a while, and then Hehua came. She looked very thin, but in good spirits: "Jiajia, are your high school textbooks still there?"

Xu Jiajia nodded: "Yes, you sit for a while, I'll go find them."

Hehua looked at her gratefully: "Thank you--"

Xu Jiajia waved her hand: "It's a piece of cake, why thank you? If you don't understand, you can ask me."

Hehua's eyes were red, and she choked up and replied: "Well--"

Old Mrs. Xu felt sad when she saw her like this. She went back to the house and cut half an apple for Hehua.

It was so expensive, how could He Hua accept it: "No, no."

Grandma Xu domineeringly stuffed the apple into her hand: "Eat——"

He Hua was shocked by Grandma Xu's momentum. She subconsciously took a bite. It was crisp and sweet. The bitterness in her heart also dissipated, leaving only sweetness.

Grandma Xu took her emotional changes to heart and felt very distressed: "He Hua, Grandma Xu has a message for you. Remember what you should remember, forget what you should forget, change what you can change, and accept what you cannot change.

We humans must look forward. Only with optimism can we have hope in life."

Speaking of this, Grandma Xu remembered the past that had been sealed for a long time: "In 1945, the Japanese invaders rushed into the village and killed many villagers, including your uncle Xu's brother and sister.

I came back from outside and fainted on the spot when I heard about this.

I was decadent all night. Knowing that it has already happened, it is useless to be in pain.

Later, I went to learn skills, learn to fight, and vowed to fight the devils to the end..."

Old lady Xu did not continue to talk about the glorious history of the year. She paused, looked at Hehua, and patted her shoulder: "There are some things that we cannot change, but we can change ourselves.

Try to make yourself strong, and the iron wall can't shake that hard heart. "

Hehua heard it all, and she said hoarsely: "I will. "

...

Time passed quickly.

Today is the day to collect wages.

Xu Jianguo came to the Finance Department with the salary slip.

He didn't even make a full month in the first month, only thirty.

Xu Jianguo's hands shook a little when he took the money. My God, this is the first time he has taken so much money since he grew up.

If this is lost, the old lady will beat him to death!

Xu Jianguo ran to the toilet, carefully put the money in the pocket of his pants, buttoned it up, and made sure it was safe before he walked out.

The first thing he did when he got home was to divide up the thirty yuan that was still warm.

Xu Jiajia got twenty yuan.

Old lady Xu got five yuan.

He got five yuan himself.

Xu Jiajia was stunned: "Dad, why are you giving me money?"

Xu Jianguo smiled and said: "You gave Dad a job, but Dad didn't allow you to give him money.

Forty yuan a month, you get twenty-five, grandma gets ten yuan, and I get five yuan. We'll follow this standard in the future."

Xu Jiajia's mouth twitched, and she calculated very clearly: "Your money will not be mine in the future, but it's okay to give it to me in advance."

Old lady Xu looked at the living expenses in her hand and was very satisfied, ten yuan a month, one hundred and twenty yuan a year.

Very good.

If she saves a few more years, she will definitely be the richest old lady in the whole village.

The sugar factory and the machinery factory pay wages on the same day.

Xu Jiajia had just received twenty yuan when Xu Xiaoyao sent money again. In addition to money, she also brought benefits.

She eats in the cafeteria.

No oil is needed,

I brought all of them to Xu Jiajia.

"Jiajia, these are cloth coupons, oil coupons, meat coupons, and coal coupons. As for grain, I will bring it back next time. I can't bring so much this time."

"You can exchange the coal coupons with your colleagues for the ones you need. You don't have to give them to me. You can keep them for yourself."

In the countryside, firewood is used for burning, so coal is not needed.

Xu Xiaoyao nodded: "Okay--"

Xu Jiajia looked at the money, another twenty yuan, she looked at Xu Xiaoyao in confusion: "We agreed on 50-50, why do you give me 5 more yuan?"

Working in the factory, Xu Xiaoyao doesn't need to be exposed to the sun, and she has become much whiter. When she smiles, she looks like a flower blooming in the sun: "50-50, you are at a disadvantage."

Xu Jiajia declined, but Xu Xiaoyao refused to accept: "No, 10 yuan a month, I am very satisfied.

Jiajia, do you know?

I have never been so happy."

Xu Xiaoyao sat in Xu's house for a while, and was about to go home when Wang Daniu, who came over, pulled her aside: "You silly girl, you don't come home when you return to the village. Last time I heard you say that you will get paid today, where is the money?"

Xu Xiaoyao was prepared, she took out a few bills from her pocket and handed them over.

Wang Danniu looked satisfied, but after counting, her face cracked instantly: "You stupid girl, you are playing tricks on me, believe it or not, I will beat you!"

Old Lady Xu appeared behind her silently: "Who do you want to beat?"

Wang Danniu was startled, she turned around and looked at Old Lady Xu aggrievedly: "Auntie, she said she would give me five yuan, but now she only gives me this little. If it were you, you would be angry too, right?"
