It would be great if the children of future generations were as active as this little guy.

In his previous life, Li Wen was a casual person who was born both male and female, and was not as conservative as his elders. Until one day, something happened around him that completely changed his concept.

In the previous life, when Li Wen was a child, he liked to go to his aunt's house the most because his aunt's house opened a toy wholesale shop.

My aunt loved Li Wen very much. Every time Li Wen went to her aunt's house, her aunt would take him to eat a bowl of mutton steamed buns that cost ten yuan each, and give him toys that cost dozens of yuan.

You know, this was the 1990s, and money was very valuable.

But what makes Li Wen regretful is that his aunt only has two daughters and no sons. This regret only occurred to Li Wen after his aunt passed away.

When I was in junior high school, my aunt's shop closed down due to poor management. Although their family was in the county town, their life was average.

My uncle did not have a job, so the burden of the entire family fell on my aunt, who supported the family by doing odd jobs.

'My aunt worked hard to finally raise her two daughters to adulthood, and both of them became state cadres, but what awaited them was desolation.

My aunt's family still has a small store in the county town, so I plan to find a son-in-law for my daughter. This will reduce the pressure on life and solve their pension problem.

But the two daughters happened to be married out of town and did not even stay in the local area.

My aunt has become sick from overwork because she has provided for her two daughters to go to college and arranged work.

I was often tortured by illness on weekdays, and my daughter's heart disease kept me awake all night long. I was depressed and committed suicide by myself.

That's all. After all, young people have individual personalities and don't want to be restrained by their parents. Li Wen can understand that.

However, after the death of their aunt, the two daughters did not return to their mother's heart during the most important three years, let alone visit the grave during the holidays during these three years.

Every time Li Wen and his father went to visit his aunt's grave, he could always hear his father's complaints and abuse, saying that his two cousins ​​were unfilial and did not even visit his mother's grave.

This incident was just one of them, until another incident happened, Li Wen completely changed the idea that boys and girls are the same.

Once, a relative in the village passed away, and Li Wen's mother and other relatives in the village went to help.

After returning home, Li Wen had questions about his mother's sighing.

It turned out that after this family member passed away, everyone helped hold a memorial ceremony.

The mother said that the memorial service was held at that time and everyone was feeling sorry for her. The two daughters of the family did not look very sad. Only the son cried a few times and looked sad.

This relative is an uncle of Li Wen. Although he is a farmer, he gave four college students.

The three biological children were all college students in their early teens. Money was very expensive at that time, but the old father still managed to provide for it.

The son is married, the daughter is married, but the old father lives in a dilapidated mud house.

Ten years later, when other houses in the village were all two-story houses, his house was still a mud house.

This uncle often jokes with the folks in the village that if he can live in a house with tile floors in his life, then his life will not be in vain.

Everyone thought this sentence was a joke at the time. After all, I heard that with a son or daughter earning tens of thousands a month, building a house was not a piece of cake.

But everyone really looked up to the uncle's children. Until the uncle died in 2002, he did not live in a house with tile floors.

In fact, this uncle was very hard-working, and he was also better at growing fruit trees. In those years when the price of fruit was high, he sold a lot of money.

If the uncle built it himself, there would still be no problem in building a one-story tiled house, not to mention building the entire courtyard.

But this kind-hearted old man did not build a building for himself to enjoy. Instead, he spent all the money earned from his sweat beads on the ground to give to his children.

Li Wen heard from his mother that the old man regretted not living in a porcelain house before he died.

In fact, this uncle was not old at all in this era. He was only seventy years old, the age at which he could have grandchildren. But the old man was not, so he ended his life with regret.

The old man worked hard all his life in exchange for his expressionless daughter in front of his soul. Of course his son also had problems, but at least he was sad.

After his old father died, Li Wen met the old man's son several times. He occasionally went home to see his old mother, but only his son visited the grave.

Every time Li Wen saw his aunt, he would think that maybe the next time his daughter would visit her old father’s grave would be when her old mother passed away!

The houses of several families in the village that only have daughters have collapsed.

Li Wen estimated that they would only come to make trouble when the village took back the homestead! At that time, they might remember that their parents still had their graves untouched.

After sitting in the yard and meditating for a while, Li Wen came back to his senses amidst his mother's shouts.

"Awen, where are you making porcelain? How do you get the ingredients package you brought home? I'm going to cook the meat you brought back last night at noon.

Tomorrow is the first day of junior high school, and since I have to visit relatives, I won’t have time to cook meat." Wang Chunmei said with a smile.

"Mom, let me cook! You sit on the stove and light the fire for us to keep warm." Li Wen stood up with a smile.

"That won't work. I think your new clothes will be stained." Wang Chunmei quickly waved her hand and refused.

"It's okay. I came back with sleeve protectors and an apron. You can use them for cooking in the future." Li Wen smiled and walked into the room and took out the sleeve protectors and apron made of navy blue cloth.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

"You kid, why are you wasting such a good cloth? Why are you making an apron?" Wang Chunmei looked at the apron made of good cloth in Li Wen's hand and said with regret.

"Mom, just use it with peace of mind! It's a pity, your son has cloth tickets, so we won't be short of tickets." Li Wen put his arm around his old mother's shoulders and smiled.

"Hmph! Why did I give birth to such a prodigal son like you?" Wang Chunmei gave Li Wen a fierce look.

The meat Li Wen brought back yesterday was not much, just two kilograms of beef and three kilograms of mutton.

The main thing I brought to my family was cured goods. In addition to one ham, I also had ten kilograms of cured beef, ten kilograms of cured mutton, and two cured chickens.

This was all calculated by Li Wen. He was afraid of showing off too much. So what Li Wen's family will cook today is these five kilograms of fresh meat!

There are more than a dozen households with workers in the village, and each unit has given out one or two kilograms of meat to some extent. In addition, during the Chinese New Year this year, the brigade distributed three kilograms of pork to each household, so the five kilograms of meat in Li Wen's family are not so ostentatious.

.

But even so, when Li Wen's family cooked meat, the smell attracted several neighbors to come to the house and ask for broth.

These are all within the budget of Li Wen's family. They make a lot of broth to begin with, so they just give it to them. We are all neighbors of the clan, and the families who want broth are from average backgrounds.

At noon, Li Wen and his uncle's family had a reunion dinner. There were nearly 20 people in the family. They ate steamed buns with beef and mutton, and they only ate one-third of the cooked meat.

In these days, the meat is definitely not enough for people to eat openly. Make steamed buns, steamed buns. If the meat is not enough, steamed buns must be made up.
