In the summer of 1992, Zhang Erhe came back, and he came back to apply for an ID card and change his hukou. In the early years, he didn't manage it strictly. It doesn't matter. came back.

In Zhang Erhe's thoughts, with the fifth child at home, no matter what the fuck, it won't be too hard. But when came back, saw that all the houses in the village had built brick and tile houses, but their house was still the old house from before, which was even more dilapidated because of its disrepair.

Chen Jinhua was sitting in the yard picking green vegetables, and suddenly he heard someone shout: "Aunt Jinhua, your Erhe is back!"

Chen Jinhua raised her head suddenly, stared at the shocked Zhang Erhe for three seconds, and threw away Xiaoqingcai: "You unconscionable, you still know how to come back, why don't you wait for me to die before coming back. Look at you. This useless look, is it impossible to hang out outside? I know that your sister has been admitted to the university and found a good partner, so I want to come back. If you want to be beautiful, you go away, you want to be in your sister's light, and you want to be beautiful! "

Zhang Erhe, who was scolded, couldn't come back to his senses, how could he be so old, his hair was white, his waist was bent, and his cheekbones were protruding with folds on his thin face, and his whole body seemed to shrink in a circle.

Chen Jinhua picked up the reed pole next to her and rushed up, "Get out, get out, don't come back if you can go if you can!"

"Mom!" Zhang Erhe choked in his voice, standing there without dodging and being beaten, no matter what, it would be a loss if he didn't look back. Back then, I really couldn't stay in my hometown anymore. I was pointed at me everywhere I went, and my heart was so cold that I felt uncomfortable when I saw it, so I wanted to go out and make a name for myself. As a result, he almost starved to death outside. He was able to support himself with great difficulty and had a little spare money. He wanted to send it back, but Xiao Cai did not agree.

Xiao Cai was the wife he found outside, who cooked on the construction site. The previous husband fell off the shelf and died. The compensation was swallowed by her mother-in-law and her brother-in-law. Her mother-in-law also drove her and three young children away. Come out, it's pathetic. don't know, maybe there is a woman taking care of Tu, and the two of them came together. After being together, life is indeed better. When we have a home, we will have a hot meal to eat, clean clothes to wear, and the liveliness of our children. Life will be warm. It's just that Xiao Cai takes money too seriously. Every time he says he wants to send some money back, she will make a hysterical commotion, making him a big fuss, and gradually he doesn't dare to mention it.

"Mom, don't fight." Zhang Sitian rushed out of the kitchen and grabbed Chen Jinhua who was furious.

Chen Jinhua's backhand was a slap: "It's the other way around, is it up to you to teach my son a lesson? What kind of thing are you, you are a disaster star, it's all your fault for killing my fourth child, my fourth child is the most filial If my fourth child is here, how can I work so hard, you useless waste, you can't do any work well."

Zhang Sitian's identity in Chen Jinhua is changeable. When she is sober, she is the Zhang Sitian who can't get into college. When she is confused, she may be Jiang Hui, Xue Fangcao, or Du Aihua. Anyway, it is not herself. In Chen Jinhua's confused cognition, she went to university in Beijing by herself.

Zhang Sitian, who was accustomed to it, did not refute, but said to Zhang Erhe: "Second brother, you hide for a while, it's impossible to beat someone when Mom gets angry."

"Tiantian, are you Tiantian?" Zhang Sitian couldn't believe his eyes, and was stunned.

Zhang Sitian smiled bitterly: "It's me." She knew what the second brother was shocked by, and was shocked that she had become like this, like a down-to-earth village girl. Looking at herself in the mirror, she would also doubt, is this herself? She should be... what she should be. She couldn't remember it anymore, and she began to wonder if Zhang Sitian, who was so petite and ignorant of the sufferings of the world, was imagining it. Because life was too hard, she had a Cinderella dream.

"Didn't you go to college?" Zhang Erhe still remembered what Chen Jinhua said.

"Second child, you are stupid, she is the fourth child, how could it be Tiantian, Tiantian is going to college in Beijing." Chen Jinhua interrupted angrily, "I tell you, don't try to pick on Tiantian. Our mothers are the best. When you were suffering, you ran out and had a good time, but now that we are in the early stages, you will pick it up and think that you are beautiful, how can there be such a good thing in the world."

"Mom, what's wrong with her?" Zhang Erhe finally realized that something was wrong with Chen Jinhua.

Zhang Sitian smiled more bitterly: "Mom is a little confused."

Zhang Erhetu was struck by lightning.

"You're just confused," Chen Jinhua spat, "the old lady is awake, hurry up and cook your meals, don't think about being lazy." She turned her head and rushed Zhang Erhe with a reed pole, "Get out, get out of here for me, Even if you die outside, don’t even think about coming back. I don’t have a son like you, a conscienceless thing. Why didn’t God strike you as a beast with a thunderbolt. I tell you, even if you beg for food, I will not pity you I'll give you a bite to eat, a conscience like you deserves to starve to death."

"Mom!" Zhang Erhe's eyes were red.

"Don't call me mom, I don't have a conscientious son like you." Chen Jinhua sneered.

In the end, Zhang Erhe, who was desperate to live, left home and went to Zhang Erbo's house, and also knew everything that happened at home after he left.

The old fifth retired from the army, resigned and went to sea to do business. After failing, he went out to venture outside. Like him, he was gone forever.

Tiantian didn't want to repeat the study, so she ran away from home, leaving her mother alive and confused.

After his mother was confused, Tiantian grew up and provoked the courage of the family. After repeating for another year, still didn't pass the exam. Finally, he finally stopped forcing Biantian to repeat, but he was even more confused.

When I was awake, I cried all day long and said that I had no hope of life and then cursed people. Confused, but happy, thinking that Tiantian will go to college, and she will be able to enjoy happiness immediately.

It's pitiful Tiantian, a girl who supports her family. Back then, the mother was so painful to Tiantian, and she was reluctant to go on the road, but now it is better, Tiantian can go to the ground to farm.

Zhang Erhe covered his eyes, but couldn't hold back his tears.

"Erhe, where have you been all these years? Why don't you come back to see your mother. Your mother has been really bitter these past few years."

Zhang Erhe was speechless.

Also asked if you have another family outside.

Seeing that Zhang Erhe was embarrassed, Zhang Erbo sent the villagers who were watching the fun and asked Zhang Erhe to follow him into the house. He came to ask.

Facing Zhang Erbo, whom he has always respected, Zhang Erhe did not hide his faltering words about his situation.

After listening to this, Zhang Erbo felt extremely ironic, "You were ruled by your mother and treated your daughter-in-law badly in the early years, and now you are ruled by your daughter-in-law and treated your mother badly, you have no attention on your own, and only listen to two girls. if."

Zhang Erhe's face was red and his ears were red.

Zhang Erbo looked at Zhang Erhe lightly, and said that his daughter-in-law would not let him, but it was not because he refused. If he wanted to be filial, his daughter-in-law could stop him. Back then, Jiang Hui told him not to be so filial. He didn't just fight, forcing Jiang Hui to be filial with him. Jiang Hui left, he couldn't hold on for two years and ran away, looking for a powerful new wife, but he didn't care about his mother's life or death.

Zhang Erhe lowered his head and said nothing.

"Is there something wrong with you coming back?" Zhang Erbo looked clear.

Zhang Erhe said that he wanted to apply for an ID card and change his household registration.

Zhang Erbo asked: "After you get your ID card, you don't care about your mother and throw it to Tiantian?"

"I, I will send the money back." Zhang Erhe panicked, "I didn't know it before, I thought Wuyang was there, and I will send the money back in the future."

"What if your wife refuses?"

"I can call the shots for the salary I earn." Zhang Erhe's voice was hollow. The false Zhang Erbo knows that this is not accurate. The second child was eaten by his daughter-in-law. It was obviously a savage and a calculated, "Why don't you give birth to a child for so many years? What does it mean for someone else to raise a child. To put it in a bad way, when you raise her three children, you won't be needed anymore, be careful she kicks you. "

"No," Zhang Erhe said hurriedly, "We want to have children, but we haven't gotten pregnant since we're too old. This is also a time when we can't do anything about it. Those three children are very filial, and they treat me as a biological father."

Zhang Erbo sneered: "If you can make money, of course I will treat you as a biological father. When you can't make money, let's see how they treat you. Erhe, Erhe, it's not that Erbo wants to talk about you on purpose, you really are. , I didn't raise my own children before, but now I'm rushing to raise other people's children. Don't raise the children for others, and then find a few dog eggs to support you in old age. "

Zhang Erhe lowered his head again, his blushing face turned pale a little, "No, I'm not so shameless, I haven't raised them, and I won't look for them to support them. Well. It should be fine, their mother is a college student, so she must be doing well."

Zhang Erbo snorted coldly: "Okay, Goudaner graduated from university and went to study abroad. Niudaner graduated from the military academy this year, and he is an officer after graduation. There are two of his uncles in the army. Lu Shun is the way, the youngest Yaya is this year. In the college entrance examination, like her mother, she was admitted to the provincial university."

Zhang Erhe couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and after a while, he said with a trembling voice: "It's great that they have all been admitted to university. They are really promising. Let their mothers. Okay, let their mothers be good." Tears welled up in his eyes without realizing it. Erhe wiped it with his hand, and the worse he got, the worse he was, he used his arm to wipe the tears, until the whole arm was wet.

Seeing that Zhang Erbo felt uncomfortable, if it wasn't for his lack of clarity, three such good children would be such a blessing.

After finally stopping the tears, Zhang Erhe stopped talking for a moment, but he still asked, "Jiang Hui is okay too, has she found a father for the children?"

"Why, if you didn't find it, you still want to go back." Zhang Erhe narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhang Erhe smiled bitterly: "I don't have such a face. Even if I wanted to, Jiang Hui would not agree. She is a college student, so how could she like me? I'm not so shameless."

Zhang Erbo looked at Zhang Erhe, thinking that if he didn't say anything, there would always be something good to tell him, so he said: "It's good, I read it all the way, and it's all experts and professors. I haven't heard of marriage, but other people's conditions, No guarantee is that there is no announcement."

Zhang Erhe was stunned, as if he had knocked over a seasoning bottle, there are all kinds of tastes, and he can't tell what tastes, but his heart is very empty.

Because Chen Jinhua was so confused and Zhang Sitian was in charge of the house, she did not embarrass Zhang Erhe, and cooperated with Zhang Erhe to go through various procedures.

Zhang Erhe felt even more uncomfortable when she was like this. Looking at Zhang Sitian, who was yellow-faced and skinny, he took out the money: "Tiantian, take this money and buy something delicious for yourself and mom."

Xiao Cai said that he would definitely have to pay for the request, so he gave him 300 yuan, his salary for two months.

Zhang Sitian did not refuse, the family was indeed short of money.

"Mom has worked hard for you. I will come back to see Mom when I have time. If you have anything, please call me." Zhang Erhe assured.

Zhang Sitian smiled and said yes.

But in fact, Zhang Erhe never came back, not even a greeting call.

In winter, when Chen Jinhua fell, Zhang Sitian called Zhang Erhe.It was not Zhang Erhe who came to answer the phone, but Xiao Cai, who scolded Zhang Sitian and warned him not to call again in the future.

Zhang Sitian called again the next day, but neither Zhang Erhe nor Xiao Cai came to answer the phone.Zhang Sitian didn't fight anymore. Sure enough, those nice words can only be listened to. If you ask others, they will naturally pick up nice words.If he can ignore him for thirteen years, the second brother's conscience will be like that.

Blame brother?The second brother used to be really filial. He would rather be hungry for his second sister-in-law, nephew, and niece, and let mother and her eat well. She didn't let her do any work at all. She had a headache and was more nervous than her mother.

The filial piety back then was true, and the heartlessness now is true. The second brother should have used up all his filial piety a few years ago.
