Zhao Xiaochuan looked up at the sky. "A gambling dad, a sick mom, a young brother, and someone who understands her. If I don't feel sorry for her, who will?"
The third brother...deserves it even more than him!
Shaking off the goose bumps on his body, he said, "How much do you want to borrow? Tell me now!"
"twenty!"
"Here you go! I advise you to think about it. Doesn't your family know about her family's situation?" The third brother gave the money to Zhao Xiaochuan.
"I don't know. My girlfriend is afraid that my family will look down on her, so she won't let me tell you! If I tell you, my mom and sister will definitely not like it!" Zhao Xiaochuan lowered his head, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious to make money.
The third brother opened his mouth to say something, but when he was pursuing He Meina, so many people told him that it was not possible. Did he listen? He still had to experience it himself. No matter what others said, it was useless! Brothers in trouble, fortunately he finally woke up. I don’t know if this brother is a bad fate or a good fate.
In the slum, the old lady was recovering from her injuries every day. Da Laba came over to chat whenever she had time. The two of them got along very well and it felt like they had met too late.
The loud speaker told the old lady everything she knew about this alley, and the old lady listened with great interest.
The old man and Li Mancang went around the city to buy some goods and look for suitable houses.
Li Xingguo didn't come over to bother me. The third brother wanted to know what happened in the family compound, but he had no place to ask.
In the blink of an eye, the old lady was muttering: On the 23rd, sticky sugar-coated melons are eaten; on the 24th, sweep the house; on the 25th, grind tofu; on the 26th, cut pork; on the 27th, kill the chicken; on the 28th, make the noodles rise; on the 29th, steam the buns; on the 30th, stay up all night; on the 1st and 2nd, walk the streets!
Dabao and Erbao looked at their grandmother and asked, "Grandma, what is sticky sugar melon?"
The old lady smiled as she looked at her little great-grandchildren. "Sugar melons are sticky. On the 23rd day of every year, the Kitchen God goes to heaven to report the good and evil deeds of our family. In order to get the Kitchen God to say good things, we offer him sugar melons as tribute, which will make his mouth sticky and let him say good things for us, blessing us with good weather and good harvests in the next year!"
"Grandma, have we put sugar melons in front of the Kitchen God?"
"It's set up. It was set up this morning. The sugar your grandma bought is sugar melon!"
Dabao immediately covered his mouth and said, "Grandma, if I eat the candy, will it not stick to the Kitchen God's mouth? Will he say bad things about us?"
The old lady smiled and said, "What your grandma gave you is superfluous. Don't worry, the Kitchen God won't say anything bad about us!"
Dabao patted his little chest, he was scared to death!
At this time, every family follows this process, doing what they want on that day. Every household is busy with one thing, and it is very lively. Neighbors are like old friends, with no sense of distance.
Every family will have a good meal on this day, which is the official start of the festival.
Dumplings are a must for a good meal in the north. The clanging sound of chopping meat can be heard in the courtyard. Sister Liu's son and his family have also returned.
Aunt Liu's son is a small leader in his unit, and his daughter-in-law is also doing well at work. There are two children in the family, a son and a daughter, the elder one is ten years old and the younger one is seven years old.
Zeng Dexian, the boss of Da La Ba, has not returned yet. His daughter-in-law has returned with two children, two sons, one eight years old and the other five years old.
The families were all very happy, and the children also wanted to play together. Wu Zhiqiu shared the extra candies he bought with the children.
The happiest time when I was a kid was when I could wear new clothes, eat candy from everyone’s house, and adults wouldn’t beat or scold children.
Sister Liu took out some big biscuits for the children to eat, and Daba bought soda for the children. The backyard was filled with laughter.
Compared to the front yard, it is quite deserted, only Uncle Zhang's family has a large population.
Uncle Ge never got married and had no children. He lived alone all these years. Whenever someone invited him to a meal, he would refuse to go. He would just cook two dishes and drink some wine at home.
The Ma family is in an even more miserable state. Widow Ma has no thoughts at all now. She has no interest in anything, whether it is life or death. Ma Qiang knows nothing at all. All these things are handled by Widow Ma, and he has never worried about anything!
Widow Ma felt like she was being stabbed with needles when she heard the children laughing in the backyard.
