After pulling his mother back into the yard.
Li Weidong looked at his mother, who had a full head of black hair, all four limbs intact, and was able to take care of herself, and a feeling he couldn't quite describe welled up inside him.
In my past life, my mother was disabled.
It was a knot in his heart that he could never untie in his entire life.
Fortunately, I came back and changed everything.
Li Weidong looked at his young mother, tears welling up in his eyes.
At this moment, Zhao Xiulian was also looking at Li Weidong, her face full of worry.
She pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something.
In the end, he only sighed and said nothing.
Li Weidong took all of this into account.
He knew that his mother must be feeling terrible right now.
But because of his personality... he was used to being submissive, so he didn't say anything.
Li Weidong wasn't disregarding his mother's feelings; rather, he had reasons for doing so.
Tiger and his aunt had such a fierce fight, how could his uncle not know?
Of course I know!
My uncle's family is all bad!
Can you really keep relatives like that around for the New Year?
Moreover, the mother's relationship with her maternal family has never been very harmonious.
My mother has five brothers and sisters.
Three older brothers and two older sisters.
She is the youngest.
Everyone in the family calls her Third Sister.
Because her maternal grandmother died during childbirth, and a fortune teller said she was a cursed lone star.
Therefore, her siblings all rejected her.
If it weren't for my maternal grandfather's constant protection, my mother probably wouldn't be alive today.
Because of guilt, the mother is the one who has sacrificed the most in this family.
Every Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year, when families reunite, my mother is busy from beginning to end, while my aunts and uncles sit in the main room, drinking tea and crossing their legs...
He treated his mother like a maid, ordering her around and behaving as if she were his servant.
Out of consideration for family ties, the mother has silently endured it all these years.
But Li Weidong couldn't tolerate these ungrateful relatives.
When their own family was struggling, they ridiculed and mocked them in every way.
Now that they've made a fortune growing mushrooms, they're all shamelessly trying to curry favor with them.
Because of past affections, my mother endured them all along...
But Li Weidong didn't want to indulge these ungrateful wretches.
These trashy relatives are best sent as far away as possible!
...
evening.
The villagers who had gone to the fields returned one after another, carrying their farm tools.
Smoke began to rise from the chimneys of every household.
After washing the mushrooms, Mom started cooking the vegetables.
From the kitchen, the sound of a spatula stirring could be heard from time to time.
Li Weidong moved a small stool and sat on the roof of the flat-roofed house, watching the clouds drift overhead and flocks of weary birds return to the forest, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.
It feels so good to be back!
I'm young and strong, only 23 years old!
My mother is still alive and in good health.
My younger sister is 15 years old and is in her third year of junior high school. She has not yet dropped out of school.
...
At six o'clock, my younger sister, Li Xiaoli, carrying her schoolbag, skipped and hopped home from school.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard my mother complaining from the kitchen.
"You're such a grown woman, why don't you wash your hands before eating? Go away, don't cause trouble here. Go to the roof and call your brother down, it's time to eat."
"good."
Li Xiaoli responded, pouting her cute little lips and shouting loudly, "Brother~ Brother~ Brother~ Dinner's ready!!!"
For dinner, we ate rice with stir-fried mushrooms and meat.
In 1992, pork was quite expensive, costing more than three yuan per jin (500 grams).
For ordinary families, they could only afford to cut five yuan worth of fruit during holidays and festivals to satisfy their cravings.
But because Li Weidong was skilled at growing mushrooms, he escaped poverty and became wealthy early on, and his family could enjoy a good meal every few days.
"Mom, there's not enough pork. Next time, could you put more pork and less mushrooms?"
Li Xiaoli, the younger sister, reluctantly picked up a piece of meat from her own bowl and handed it to Li Weidong: "Brother, here, you work so hard, eat more meat to nourish yourself."
"You little girl, you should be grateful that you have meat to eat."
Despite her apparent disdain, the mother picked a piece of meat from the plate and put it into her daughter's bowl.
Then, he picked out a large piece of fatty meat from another plate and handed it to Li Weidong.
Seeing this, Li Weidong affectionately patted his sister's head and, without refusing her offer, said with a smile, "Mom, don't just put food on our plates, eat some yourself too."
"You can eat it, it's too fatty, Mom doesn't like it."
In the evening, after dinner, Li Weidong stood in the yard, rubbing his round belly, to digest his food.
At this moment, the mother, having finished washing the dishes, came out into the yard.
"Dongzi, come here, Mom has something to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
"After thinking about it for a while, I feel that what you did this afternoon was a bit inappropriate."
"What's wrong?"
"Mom can go back to her parents' home less often, but what about the mushrooms? Didn't you sign a supply agreement with a big restaurant in the city? Without your uncle's mushrooms, can you supply them?"
“This…” Li Weidong then remembered that he had supply agreements with several large hotels in the city.
Every now and then, we need to supply them with a batch of fresh mushrooms.
Now that the mushrooms from my aunt's three sheds are gone, our own production alone certainly won't be enough to supply the market.
"Dongzi, how about I go and talk to your aunt? We're family, there's no such thing as holding a grudge overnight."
"Mom, let's just forget about it!"
Without even thinking, Li Weidong shook his head and refused.
He didn't want his mother to suffer any more abuse there.
