Chapter 9 Mother Follow Me

"Lao Liu, what do you mean by saying this?" The eldest brother said from the side when he heard Lao Liu's words.

It’s a very fair and reasonable plan for each family for a month, but Lao Liu disagreed. Now everyone is looking at Lao Liu.

"Mom and I have become accustomed to it under the same roof. When she goes to your house again, she is afraid that she will not be able to live in it. Mom usually eats vegetarian food and hates the fishy smell of pork." Of course, Lao Liu could not say that he was afraid of the eldest and second brother's wife, so he could only give this reason.

That’s right, the eldest brother and the second brother got married very early, and they separated after they got married. In the past few years, my mother, father, and Fang have been living under the same house with Lao Liu, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

Now my father is gone, and only my mother is left. I am not used to it when I am not used to it when I am eating. My sixth is worried.

Not to mention anything else, my mother has been vegetarian for years. She doesn’t eat pork, and she doesn’t even want to smell the fishy smell of pork. Lao Liu’s family is poor and she can only eat meat during the Chinese New Year. She usually eats vegetarian food, so I will not have any problems with eating it with me.

But other people's families are not good. For example, the boss used to be a soldier, but now he has entered the factory and cooks for others. He can take anything home. Therefore, the boss's family has never lacked meat. Even if it is pig skin, it is still meat. How can I have a good meal if I go to their house?

The eldest and the second looked at each other, and their worries were the same. After pausing for a moment, the eldest spoke first.

"So what if there is something wrong with me in the future, what should we do? For example, what should I do if I keep my warmth in winter, eating, etc."

It is cold and cold here. Although every household burns the kang, there is still a coal stove in the room. In winter, the stove has to be lit to make a fire to keep warm. The stove needs to burn coal.

Lao Liu is quick-witted and almost doesn’t have to buy coal. He just needs to pick up coal on the side of the railway. From Datong, Shanxi to Qinhuangdao, a special railway line for transportation of coal is passed by near the village.

Many people in the village come here like this. They used to have a father here, so they didn’t care about how to keep warm in winter. But now the only one left is all the problems that need to be considered. What should I do if I get sick, what should I do if I get medical expenses?

"Brother, you can do these things in the second brother!" Lao Liu said: "Anyway, if I eat it in one bite, my mother will eat it in one bite. I will never let my mother suffer a grievance."

"Lao Liu, I don't like to listen to you. Can you let my mother suffer if you go to our house?" The second brother said from the side: "We are in front of my second sister and my second brother-in-law in front of me. We have to make this clear. My mother doesn't eat meat. We know that after going to our house, we will do it for me."

"I didn't mean that." Lao Liu knew what he said just now, so he grabbed the handle. He was not careful in his words, but he was a stubborn temper. No one could change as long as it was something he believed.

Now that Lao Liu has already decided, he has to let his mother follow him and his two brothers. He is really worried.

My second brother-in-law didn't say anything, but just shook his head. It was difficult for a clean official to make up for family matters. My married daughter splashed water. It was hard to say such a thing.

"Lao Liu, don't worry, my mother will be fine when she arrives at our house. They are all our mothers. Let's be together for a month!" The boss said from the side.

"No, Mom has to follow me." Lao Liu's stubborn temper came up. Follow you, if you don't say anything else, your mother will not be used to eating. You will definitely not take care of your mother's diet. If Mom follows you, she will definitely not be able to eat well.

My mother doesn’t eat pork, and during festivals, she will make some chicken for her. You occasionally have kindness and send chicken legs to her, but the chicken legs are stewed with pork, and my mother doesn’t eat them at all.

In addition to eating, I may not be angry with my eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. It won’t take long, and my mother might go with my father.

My father is gone, and my mother needs to take good care of her!

"Brother, don't argue. Let's listen to my mother's opinions, okay?" Fang said.

My mother also came with me. Now, seeing the three sons having a dispute, my mother didn't say anything, but her eyes were red.

Now that Fang said this, the boss could only turn his head and look at me, saying, "Mom, we all listen to you, just do whatever you say."

My mother glanced at her two sons who were pretending to be filial, looked at Lao Liu again, and said, "I am used to living now, and I really don't want to move in. It's also the place where your father has been sleeping for many years. At night, can you talk to your father? Your father will definitely have a dream for me. If you change the place, you are afraid that your father will not be able to find it."

I don’t want to go to the home of the eldest and second brothers, and it’s very comfortable to stay at home now.

"Okay, since I'm going to say that, let's respect my decision."

In front of his second sister and second brother-in-law, the boss had already made it clear just now, and everything was followed by his mother. Now he couldn't change it anymore.

The boss looked at the second brother and said, "That's it. Our brothers give their mother five yuan a year, buying coal, eating, getting sick, etc., all of this money is included."

When the boss said that all five dollars were included, the second brother-in-law on the side finally spoke: "Five dollars are a little less. You two are workers, and you don't have that money. Is this good? If your mother is sick, the three of you brothers will spread the money equally. The five dollars will be used as the mother's meal and coal money."

For Lao Liu, five yuan is definitely not a big deal. He is now in the loading and unloading team and earns the 50 cents a month. However, the eldest and second brother are both workers, and their monthly salary in the factory is dozens of yuan.

The two of them wanted to send me a chance to five dollars. They were so smart.

Everything else is easy to say, but if you get sick, it's a bottomless pit, and your second brother-in-law is still sensible.

"Okay, then let's listen to my second brother-in-law." The boss said, "Let's just write a note here."

The boss was afraid that others would regret it. If he could settle down by giving me five dollars a year, it would be a good idea. Leave the rest to Lao Liu. Anyway, this was also proposed by him.

The letter was written quickly. The three brothers signed the names and pressed their handprints on it, which was another major event.

What Lao Liu didn’t know was that in the next few decades, until the end of my mother’s life, the price would never be long. Every year, the eldest and second brother would respectfully give me five dollars, and would never owe me.

But later on, what can I buy for five dollars? Three hundred dollars per ton of coal has to be burned at least two tons in a winter, but neither of them mentioned the increase in money.

Now as long as I let my mother follow me, Lao Liu is willing to agree to anything.

"Lao Liu, you have to talk to Yu Lian when you go back." When the word was written, my second brother-in-law said to Lao Liu.
