The old man talked to the women about collecting river gourds, and made arrangements for tomorrow. Without saying a word, he rubbed his old waist and wanted to lie down on the kang to rest. He was so tired.
He is not worried about the family. There is no problem at all as the older child takes care of the younger one.
The others wanted to ask more questions, but the old man in charge was tired and wanted to sleep. I could only hold it in and go back to my house to ask what was going on at home.
Poor old woman, she had been worrying about something for the whole afternoon, and then she was hit by a bolt from the blue. After entering the house, I was about to take out the money and have a good chat, but the person next to me started snoring loudly.
………………
"Dad, I'm here to give you a holiday gift!" After Zhao Dashu put the basket on the table in the main hall, he casually pulled over a stool and sat down below the old man.
The old man glanced at the basket and felt very dissatisfied. What could he do with such a small amount of things? It’s not like the third brother is poor, why is he so stingy?
If you are not satisfied with something, you will naturally be in a bad mood. The old man ignored him and continued puffing on his pipe.
"Dad, if there's nothing else to say, I'll leave first." He stared at her, what were he doing?
"What? You can't sit still after coming home for a while? Yes, this small courtyard is not comparable to your new house, it's normal to dislike it."
Zhao Dashu is not the type to be bullied. He doesn't indulge his father. "Dad, what are you talking about? I've been sitting here for a long time, have you ever paid attention to me? I'm here to give you a holiday gift, not to be bullied. If you have something to say, just say it. If not, I'm going home."
"You bastard, now that you're gone, I can't control you anymore, right?"
"What do you want to say?"
Old man Zhao pointed at the basket and complained, "You have so much money in your hand, but you only give me this little. Third brother, you have no conscience!"
Zhao Dashu jumped up immediately, "Dad, are you still not satisfied with this? Ask around, is there anyone in the village who gave more than me? Besides, I, your son, just got married and built a house, and I'm in a tight spot right now. Why don't you think of helping me? Do you think my gift is too little?"
"Why are you so stingy? Why are you so stingy and pretending to be rich? You built such a nice house. There are only four of us, and we don't even have a baby. You built so many houses. Are you going to live in them?"
Zhao Dashu ignored him and had nothing to say.
But old man Zhao felt that he was in the right, and his third son had nothing to say since his wife could speak.
"Third brother, your house is too big, empty and there's no one around, it looks creepy. How about second brother and we move in to help you gain some popularity?
My eldest brother will be coming home to celebrate the holidays in a few days, and it would be perfect for him to live in your new house. What do you think? It’s so nice to have the whole family together! ”
The old woman looked at her third son, her eyes full of anticipation. She wanted to live in a new house, the one that she heard wouldn't be cold in winter.
The second son's family also took care of him and moved in, so that his son would have a new house when he got married in the future. Such a nice house, they dream of living in it!
Zhao Dashu didn't want to pay any attention to his father. "Not very good. My family likes quietness and doesn't like crowds. Big brother should be filial to you, anyway, he is not going to take the imperial examination now. The house in the county town is not bad, but you and mother haven't gone to enjoy it? It's really unfilial. I'll teach him a lesson for you when I see him in the county town some other day."
"I said it's you, why are you bringing this up with the boss? What does it have to do with him?"
If you want to grab him, dream on! All the money in his family belongs to his daughters!
"You think I don't have enough things, how much did my elder brother give you? Don't say he has no family, not having a family doesn't stop him from being filial. Don't say he has no money, Dad, don't you know? My elder brother has servants at home, without money, who can afford servants?
Look at me, everything about me is me now, right? ”
The old man roared, "You are different from the boss!"
Zhao Dashu slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, it's different. I love my wife, I'm loyal, and I care about my family. I'm not like some people who rely on their parents at home and rely on their in-laws when they go out. They don't even realize that they are being supported by others, and they secretly learn to cheat on others.
Not only does he cheat, but he is also so shameless that he takes any chicken from anywhere, in broad daylight, in public, without any respect at all. ”
