New Year's Eve is a day when every family sits together and happily bid farewell to the old and welcomes the new. [ ] Wu Xiaojun's family does not have the joyful and lively atmosphere of previous years, and looks particularly deserted and desolate. During dinner, Wu Pingchun and Wu Xiaoliang came over to talk to Wu Pingshun.

After talking for a while, we went home.

Wu Pingshun was lying on the bed and said with a sad face, "Xiaojun, you have also seen that although there are many brothers and sisters, they are all very talented. I have been sick all day long, and my body has been exhausted. I don't know what happened.

It takes time to recover. I'm really worried that I won't be able to handle it. One day I won't be able to bear it anymore. Who will take care of you and what should you do?"

When Wu Xiaojun heard this, his heart was cut by a knife. He lowered his head helplessly and said, "The situation may not be as pessimistic as you think. It will get better soon. After all, I have grown up now. Even if you can't provide for me, I believe I will."

If we hold this family together, we will still be able to live a comfortable life."

Xiaojun's mother said, "Dad, don't think so much about the Chinese New Year. We haven't experienced anything in these years, haven't we all gotten through it? As long as we are safe, there is no obstacle that we can't overcome."

Wu Pingshun said weakly, "That being said, looking at the current situation, everyone is plotting against you, and no one will pity you. I'm really worried that you will be trapped by them and suffer a loss." As he said, secretly

I shed a few tears and lay quietly on the bed.

At this time, Wu Xiaofu and his son came over with a bowl of dumplings and placed them gently on the table. Shi Shi asked, "Master, grandma, uncle, have you eaten yet?"

Wu Xiaojun saw them coming, suppressed the anger and resentment in his heart, got up and went to the other room. Xiaojun's mother brought two small stools for them to sit down, "I just ate, your father felt uncomfortable and drank half a bowl of dumplings."

Tang is asleep."

Wu Xiaofu sighed and said, "My father's illness has been very hard on him. It almost made him unable to survive for several years. I didn't buy anything else this year. I just cut three or four kilograms of meat and bought a few kilograms of Chinese cabbage."

."

Xiaojun Niang felt something was wrong when she heard this, "You didn't buy anything. I have money, just like in previous years, I bought more or less everything. If I don't have money, I can't let my relatives come and have nothing to eat. It's up to me whether I buy it or not."

It's your own business. Anyway, your father didn't ask you to pay a penny for medical treatment, so it's useless to tell me this."

Just as Wu Xiaofu was about to open his mouth, Wu Xiaoqi came over with a plate of cooked meat, "Mom, it's just been cooked. Let me serve you a plate of meat."

Xiaojun's mother lowered her head and said without looking, "Your father is ill and has tormented you a lot. Your father and I can't afford your food, so take it all back."

Wu Xiaoqi saw that his mother's face was wrong, and there was something in her words, so he said with an ugly face, "Who said anything, and what trouble do you want to find? You know that I am stupid, easy to pinch, easy to bully, so you have the ability to deal with me, and you will not be able to live in peace for most of your life."

."

Wu Xiaofu stood up and said, "Second brother, you can't just say something to cover up a large area. How can you talk like this on New Year's Day? Who bullied you? When my father was sick and hospitalized, I stayed in the hospital every day without saying a word. You can go if you want."

Go, if you don’t want to go or not, no one will say anything to you. It’s all right, my mother just said this, you are so excited, what do you mean?”

Wu Xiao stood up and went to the courtyard and said angrily, "What do I mean? I have a family of more than ten people and you are filial to me. What have I got? I have ruined the homestead and the cultivated land.

Damn, you deliberately squeezed me to death. Who dares to say a word and fart."

Wu Xiaofu also got excited, "Second brother, you can't speak out of conscience. I have nothing to do with you. It's all our father who is in charge. He is the one who insists on dominating. Who can do anything? If you have the ability, you can

Just look for him."

Wu Xiao's voice became louder and louder, "Why do I need so much land? I can't finish planting, I can't finish eating, and I'm worried that I'll be tired and end up in the hospital, which will cause my children to suffer."

Wu Pingshun lay on the bed with his eyes narrowed. He didn't want to pay attention to these two people. Unexpectedly, the two of them sang a double act, deliberately making fun of himself. In a fit of anger, he got out of bed and said, "You bastards, you have no conscience at all. I'm feeding you like this for nothing."

Da, you don’t care what I’m like, and they all come over to make trouble for me. They won’t let anyone be quiet for a while. They are afraid that I will die slowly, so they all get out of here.”

Wu Xiaoqi said angrily, "You are my father. I can't fight back when I hit you, and I can't fight back when I scold you. When your fault is mentioned, you will act arrogantly and either curse or hit them. You are unreasonable."

Wu Pingshun angrily threw off the cotton-padded clothes on his body, picked up a wooden stick and whipped it at Wu Xiaoqi, "What's wrong? I committed a crime by giving birth to you and raising you, and I owe you. No one will let you talk back.

If you fight back, you beat me to death and I will be clean."

Shijie saw that Wu Pingshun was getting angry, so he hurried over and hugged Wu Pingshun's waist, "Master, calm down, don't let the anger break your body. It's cold outside, come in quickly, come in quickly." Wu Xiaoqi dodged to the side and dodged.

The wooden stick ran out in a hurry.

Wu Pingshun returned to the house and saw the dumplings and meat dishes on the table. He picked them up and threw them into the courtyard, "You are giving me food or you are disgusting. As long as I breathe, I will starve to death and I will not eat your food."

A meal for the bastard." Seeing that Wu Xiaofu was still sitting with his head down and smoking, he said viciously, "Xiaofu, although you are the boss, you don't know shit. You just do some unreasonable things and make small calculations all day long.

I am still thinking about my two acres of land before I die. Just give up. As long as I live for a day, don't try to succeed. Don't bother me here. Get out, get out, get out."

Wu Xiaofu saw that his goal had been achieved, and if he didn't leave, he would really piss me off. He couldn't handle it anymore. He stood up, shrugged his shoulders, glanced at Wu Pingshun, who was still angry, and retreated with his son in disgrace.

In order to avoid making the matter a big deal and hurting his father's body that had not yet recovered, Wu Xiaojun gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger without making a sound. After they left, he returned to his father's bedside. Before he could speak, Wu Pingshun shouted, "Xiaojun,

Bolt the door. No one can open the door until noon tomorrow. After the New Year, I will be full of anger. How can I think about celebrating the New Year? If the New Year passes, I will be ready to mourn."

Wu Xiaojun said tremblingly, "Dad, don't think about it. They haven't been like this for a day or two. You also know that if your illness relapses, you will have to bear the blame yourself."

Wu Pingshun was heartbroken, sighed, and said in a low voice, "Xiaojun, you have also seen that with a group of people like this, who will care about our life and death? When I see a doctor, they just run a few times, and they are like strangled to death. If

Asking them to pay a penny is like cutting off their flesh. It really disappoints me. This is fate, and this is my fate. Your wings haven't grown hard yet, but once they do, I'm afraid you will be like them." said

As if my heart was broken, I went to bed helplessly, covered my head and fell asleep without saying a word.

The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, always replacing old charms with new ones. On New Year's Eve, the sky is starry, and firecrackers are coming from all directions, resounding throughout the night sky. The haze of the past is submerged under the sound of New Year's firecrackers, and new hopes are slowly being replaced.

People lighting up with passion and good wishes.

The three members of Wu Xiaojun's family were not in the mood to bid farewell to the New Year's Eve, nor were they having the joy of eating dumplings to welcome the New Year, nor were they setting off festive firecrackers to ward off evil spirits. The whole night, as if someone had just passed away at home, they were unhappy, sad, and depressed.

ushers in the dawn of the new year.

Before dawn, some younger people in the village were already paying their respects to their elders. Seeing that Wu Xiaojun’s house was dark, no one answered the door, so he went to another house. Wu Xiaojun should have walked around each house and took the opportunity to visit.

Elders, the fuss last night has made me lose all my energy.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock that Wu Xiaosen and his wife came back with their children, and the three of them got up and made a fire to cook the New Year's dinner.

Early in the morning on the second day of the first lunar month, as in previous years, the four brothers went to their uncle's house to pay New Year greetings. During the meal, his aunt asked about the health of his parents. Wu Xiaofu looked hesitant and said, "My mother's health is not bad, but my father has not recovered from a serious illness."

Recovery, not good."

My aunt said, "Your father has a stubborn temper and can't tolerate anything in his heart. In fact, his illness is caused by tiredness from work and anger. He is a man in his sixties. It is time for him to lose his temper, let alone stop it.

Use your best efforts."

Wu Xiaofu said, "To be honest, my father really can't farm so much anymore. We feel very sorry to see him suffering and suffering."

Wu Xiaoqi said angrily, "I have blocked so many things and no one is tired unless I am tired. No matter how much grain he sees, others can't even see a grain of grain. Others can't spend a cent of the money from selling the grain."

My aunt said with a heavy heart, "Actually, it's not easy for your parents to raise the six of you all your life. Now that Xianjun has gone to college, the rest of the family can get by, so it's time to take a break and enjoy the blessings. I

Look, I should divide the land among you in advance and give it to whomever it belongs, so that you won’t have to work hard day and night.”

Wu Xiaofu, Wu Xiaoqi and Wu Xiaosen nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, it should have been like this a long time ago. I don't know what my father thinks or why he insists on stopping it."

Wu Xiaojun always maintained the attitude of saying less and saying nothing on such occasions, but seeing the smug looks on their faces, he couldn't help but get angry and said angrily, "You don't know why, I know, I'll do it

Let me tell you, dad. My dad and mom have gone through a lot of hard work to settle down a home for each of you and have done all the things before you can be considered independent and free from your own hands and feet. However, I have nothing to do with my affairs.

For one thing, I haven’t gotten married, I haven’t had children, and for one thing I have nothing to do. Even though going to college is just a status, I am still a student with no children. Moreover, the state subsidies are very small now, and the cost is more than before.

The two of them are too old to do business or go out to work. Aren't they just cultivating a few acres of land and harvesting grain and selling it for me to go to school? Other than that, who can I expect to give you all the land?

Come on, why don’t you drink the northwest wind? You have the intention to eliminate me from the family, but I am my parents’ pet peeve, and they can’t bear it.”

Wu Xiaosen interjected after a while, "According to foreign tradition, once a person reaches the age of eighteen, he must break away from his parents and live independently. You are now over eighteen and should no longer rely on your parents."

When Wu Xiaojun heard this, he flew into a rage, threw away the chopsticks in his hand, stood up, pointed at Wu Xiaosen's nose and said, "I see you are more than thirty years old, but you are still hanging around outside."

People, you don’t understand shit. You don’t know that your back hurts when you stand and talk. Let me tell you, this is in China, in Yuanzhen, not the United States. When you were eighteen, you were still in high school. You went to Pingxi because our father sold a cow.

What you confessed is that our parents invited you to the wedding and hosted the table for you. Even if you have been working for many years, your son’s birthday party was paid for by our parents for half of the expenses. At that time, why didn’t you say that you

When you are over 18 years old, you have grown up and no longer rely on your parents."

Wu Xiaojun kept talking like a barrage, which made Wu Xiaosen break out in cold sweat on his forehead, gape at his tongue, and say nothing. Wu Xiaojun walked to the courtyard and said to Wu Xiaosen, "The two of them want to divide the house, and they can't do it two times a day.

I don’t think it’s a good thing, why are you messing with it? Since you want to divide the land, you can do it. I won’t compare it with the people in the city. I will give it to me first according to the current local rules and situation.

The money for building a house, the money for wedding services, and the money for half-month drinking after giving birth will be used, and then according to the standard of ten yuan a day, the four brothers will share it equally with our parents to pay for living expenses. If you agree to this condition, you can go home and divide the land now.

."

Everyone at the table was dumbfounded when they heard this. My aunt pondered for a moment and said, "I only thought about worrying about your parents being affected, and I really didn't think about it so much. If you think about it carefully, your parents are the most difficult at the moment. You should really be more careful."

Think about them and consider their difficulties. Now is really not the time to divide the land." He looked up and saw that Wu Xiaojun was about to leave, so he hurriedly said, "Xiaojun, don't leave. I haven't eaten yet, how can I leave?"

Wu Xiaojun said without looking back as he walked, "Auntie, they are bent on killing me and my parents. I am not in the mood to eat at the same table as these beasts. If I can't eat, I won't eat.
