Xiao Mancang never knew what the old boss had done.
When he heard the third brother talking about digging a hole, he immediately asked, "What do you mean? What does digging a hole mean?"
Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Tieniu, "Brother, how about you tell me?"
Xiao Tieniu's face turned from pale to red again, and he said in a muffled voice: "Third brother, you don't have to be so sarcastic. My husband and I stuffed soybeans into three steamed buns and asked you to break them first, so that we didn't have to break them, and you became the one who joined the army... But so what? You still have to thank us. Without us, you can't be where you are today?"
"I'm going to beat you to death!"
Xiao Mancang roared and tried to pounce on Xiao Tieniu, but he fell to the ground as soon as he moved.
Xiao Fangfang was the first to help Xiao Mancang.
"You, you..." Xiao Mancang pointed at Xiao Tieniu with his crutch, closed his eyes, and trembled so much that he couldn't speak.
Seeing that Xiao Mancang was angry, Xiao Tieniu finally gave in and hurriedly pulled his wife away.
Cui Er walked up to Xiao Zheng and asked, "Uncle San, when are you coming back to the city? I'll go back and pack my luggage and go with you then."
......Why doesn't this girl have any eyebrows or eyes?
Xiao Mancang was so angry that he pounded his cane on the ground. "You are a good girl, but you have learned the same thing from your father. You are stupid and mean! Get out! Your uncle will not take you to the city. Even if he wants to, I won't allow you!"
Cui Er immediately transferred her dissatisfaction to Xiao Mancang, "Grandpa, why don't you let Third Uncle take me into the city?" Her eyes fell on Xiao Fangfang who was supporting Xiao Mancang, "Oh, I understand, you want Third Uncle to take the mute into the city, why are you so biased?!"
Xiao Mancang: "Mute? This is your aunt, you are such a disrespectful person!"
In short, Xiao Mancang would never agree to let Cui'er go with Xiao Zheng, and directly let the first wife vent all her resentment on him.
Finally, Cui Er could only stamp her feet, turn around and leave, and before leaving she threatened: "Humph, my father and I will never be filial to you in the future!"
Xiao Mancang looked at the direction where the eldest family left, and he seemed to have suddenly aged several years.
He turned his head to look at Xiao Zheng, wanting to say something, opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start.
He always felt guilty towards the third child. Such a young child was forced to roll around in a pile of dead bodies. He didn’t know if he could survive… In the first few years after the third child left, he often had dreams. In his dreams, a young man in military uniform stood in front of him, not speaking or moving. He tried hard to open his eyes to see the young man’s appearance, but found that the young man had no head…
Xiao Mancang's guilt towards Xiao Zheng came from the guilt of being a father who could not support his son. If it was the eldest brother or the eldest son who went to the battlefield, he would have felt guilty as well.
But now that he knew the evil intentions of the eldest and second brother, he felt even more guilty towards the third brother, so much so that he couldn't even raise his head.
Ultimately, it was his fault as a father.
Xiao Zheng seemed to know what Xiao Mancang was thinking, and only said, "It's all over."
Yes, Xiao Zheng had gotten over it, but in Xiao Mancang’s heart, he was afraid he would never get over it.
Xiao Mancang waved his hands helplessly, "Tiezhu, from now on, just live your own life. You don't have to worry about your eldest brother and your second brother... If I am gone one day, you can recognize my two brothers if you want to. If not, Dad won't blame you."
After saying that, Xiao Mancang signaled Xiao Fangfang to help him back to the house.
Xiao Zheng stood there, not knowing what his father was thinking.
An Hua walked over and held his hand.
Xiao Zheng came back to his senses, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Xiao Fangfang came out, gestured a few times at Xiao Zheng, and left again.
An Hua asked him, "What did Fang Fang say?"
Xiao Zhengyu: "She said that my brother came here just now, and when he saw that something was wrong, he left quietly."
An Hua: "...I feel like your brother is more thoughtful."
Xiao Zheng: "It's not a big deal to have too many tricks, what's a big deal is to have too many tricks but still not be able to understand the situation clearly."
An Hua: "Since you came back this time, your brother has never come to you to do anything."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "He doesn't need to ask me for help. He can live a good life by using my name."
An Hua: "What do you mean? Is your brother using your name to make money?"
Xiao Zheng: "Since I first went home, he has become a formal employee of the grain station. Now, he is the director of the grain station. My eldest son has also entered the animal husbandry station to learn technology. There are now two people in the family earning a salary."
No wonder the family can afford the Big Golden Deer.
An Hua glanced at Xiao Zheng, "Don't you dislike your brother doing things under your name?"
Xiao Zhengyi: "My younger brother is more cunning than my eldest brother, but he has one advantage, that is, he can recognize the situation clearly and know how to maximize his own interests... I don't care if he uses my name to make money in his hometown, because he hasn't caused me any trouble yet, and I can't take care of my father anyway, so I need to rely on my two brothers. My eldest brother can't figure it out, so I can only rely on my younger brother."
Xiao Mancang sent a false telegram saying he was critically ill, but in fact he was anxious to entrust Xiao Fangfang to Xiao Zheng.
Now that the problem has been solved, Xiao Zheng and An Hua are ready to go back.
But before leaving, Xiao Zheng still had something to do.
He took An Hua on a donkey cart and went to the next brigade.
On the way, Xiao Zheng held An Hua's hand and said, "Thank you, my wife, for always supporting me in helping my comrades."
Although Xiao Zheng's salary is high, the fixed expenses of thirty yuan per month is not a small amount.
An Hua guessed, "You want to take me to see the home of the comrade you sponsored?"
Xiao Zheng nodded. "I have sponsored three companies in total, two in the city and one in the countryside. The one I want to take you to see now is the one in the countryside."
After getting off the donkey cart, they climbed up the hill for a long time before reaching the next brigade. At first glance, most of the houses in the brigade were earthen houses, and the better ones were stone houses. The conditions were obviously worse than those of Xiao Zheng's production team.
Xiao Zheng led An Hua through many twists and turns until they arrived at a house with yellow mud walls and a thatched roof.
“This is it.”
"Why are there so many people?" An Hua was puzzled.
The thatched earth house had no walls, only a tattered fence.
Through the tattered fence, you can see a lot of people standing inside.
"Liu Yue'e, you slutty fox! It hasn't even been a year since my son left, and you're already flirting with the bachelor on the team and doing some dirty tricks!"
