all the way

The continuous low temperature after the heavy snow made Fengxi Mountain a world of ice and snow. Liujialing is now almost isolated from the outside world. However, the Liu family did not feel the slightest fear and loss because everyone knows that this isolation is short-lived. When the sun shines, the natural moat that separates them from the outside world becomes open. When one has a full understanding and control of the direction and result of an event, one can become calm and enjoy the present moment with peace of mind.

Liu Xia was lying on the window sill in a cotton-padded jacket and looked outside. The sky was still gloomy, and the bare trees were blown from the northwest to the southeast. The icicles hanging on the eaves of the west wing were nearly one meter long. It's cold, so he doesn't even want to get out of the hot bed, although now there are only three people left in the bed, Mao Er and Liu Rui, and the brothers and Xiaowei have already woken up at some point.

Feeling the quilt being pulled down a little bit, Liu Xia turned his head and saw Mao'er looking at him in a daze, seeing him turn around, Mao'er jumped up and put his face on his chest: "Uncle , but I was in a panic and didn’t want to get up to pee.”

Liu Xia rubbed his hair: "This uncle can't help you baby, I'll make you pee, right? Put the urinal outside the door."

Just as he was talking, the sound of opening the door came from the outside, and before Liu Xia could react, two chubby little people had already kicked off their shoes and climbed onto the kang, and then one jumped on Liu Xia's back, and the other "Huo" He quickly lifted the quilt and revealed the cat naked.

"Ah——uncle, my brother's red belly and penis are all exposed, so shameless!" Liu Yun finally caught the cat's shortcoming, and was happier than getting a big piece of meat.

"Ah, old beauty, spank my brother's ass." Liu Lei didn't let Liu Xia recite, and stretched out his hand to spank the cat's butt, afraid that he would miss this hard-won opportunity to repair the cat.

Liu Xia hurriedly tore off the quilt to wrap the cat. Liu Ling sat on the edge of the kang and patted the cat's buttocks and said, "Boy, this is a high school student, and he still sleeps with a red belly, isn't it ugly?"

The cat grabbed Liu Yun and pressed it under the bed: "It's not ugly, it's beautiful. Come in, little coward, Ye'erhei, my uncle and I have eaten a lot of sweet potatoes, I want you to smell the deliciousness in the bed Son."

Liu Yun screamed and grabbed Liu Ling's clothes: "I don't, I don't, old smelly."

Liu Ling hugged Liu Yun with a smile, and Liu Lei quickly returned to Liu Xia's back. Mao'er threw off the quilt, jumped off the kang and ran outside: "I'm not hit, and I'll wet the bed if I don't come out."

Xiao Rui, who seemed to be sleeping all the time, suddenly jumped off the kang and ran out: "Cat, I've been holding it in for a long time, and I can't hold back your pee."

Liu Wei called outside: "Uncle, baby, are you up yet? The buns and sweet potatoes are all baked."

Liu Yun and Liu Lei happily yelled "Ah, you can eat meat buns", and they went to the kang to bald. Liu Ling put on the shoes for them, and they ran away in a hurry. Liu Xia and the others Quickly put on clothes and come out.

During the Chinese New Year, the two families still work together and prepare at Liu Changqing's side, but Liu Changchun and the others will not come up until they have cleaned up after breakfast. Even so, the main room of the Liu family is still full.

Porridge, stewed vegetables, steamed buns, steamed buns, and sweet potatoes were just on the table, and Liu Chuan and Liu Hai also came back, and the two of them went to deliver things to the third grandfather early in the morning.

The old man got into the habit of doing business in Kaesong in the early years. He always got up before dawn, cleaned up the inside and outside, and then opened the door to welcome guests. After returning to Liujialing for decades, he still maintains this habit. .

Furthermore, because there is a local saying that old people and patients are generally weak and weak, if they want to visit, it is auspicious to visit them before noon when the yang energy rises, so Liu Chuan and Liu Hai ran over early.

The breakfast was vigorous and fast. This year there is no new year thirty, and after the 29th is the first day of junior high school. People who come to ask for Spring Festival couplets will be particularly concentrated today, and Liu Changqing will start to make arrangements early.

But after collecting the bowls and chopsticks, Liu Changqing didn't go out. He and Sun Chang'e sat down on the kang, let the children find a place to sit, and said that there were a few things to tell them.

Liu Xia hugged Mao'er, and together with Liu Ling and Liu Hai, they were still sitting in front of the window on the Kang, while Liu Kui, Liu Chuan, Liu Wei, Liu Rui, and Liu Xin were sitting at the stone table below. It's time to talk about business, so I stopped making a fuss, let my uncle and dad hug me, and played with toys obediently by myself; Xiumei and Xiaohui also pulled up a bench and sat in front of the stove.

Liu Changqing said: "It's not a big deal, it's just a little family matter, I want to tell you what you think.

The first thing is Nana, now called Mengmeng, Liu Ruomeng.

You already know what's going on with that child, I won't talk about the two children here, I will tell you today, yes, your uncle told your mother and me specifically, from now on, Mengmeng On weekdays, I just follow Yufang, without any other intentions, I just don't want to make our cat uncomfortable. "

Liu Changqing turned around: "Cat, grandpa said that, do you know what it means, kid?"

Mao'er nodded: "I know, grandpa, I'm actually fine at all, even if I ask her to leave our house, I'm fine. She met a poor grandma, poor old man, my uncle and I are so beautiful, I don't care." answer her."

Liu Changqing patted the cat's head in relief: "Well, middle boy, boys have to be like this. Knowing where to stand, you don't have to worry about other details."

Nana will live in this family in the future, and being so ignorant makes the child think too much. Liu Changqing can see that Liu Mao has almost no influence on Mao'er. Mao'er is a big-hearted child. As long as Liu Xia By his side, he didn't care about anything else. He felt that talking about Nana to the cat in this open way would make the cat feel more at ease.

He continued to say to everyone: "It's just what the cat said just now, the girl is so pitiful, no matter what the reason is, it must be fate that the girl is put in our house.

I know that you will feel a little uncomfortable in your heart. In fact, your mother, your uncle, and I are all the same. Thinking of who her mother is, I feel uncomfortable.

But, think about it, if we don't keep this child, where can she go?To her grandma's house?Follow her mother?Chuan'er, you know their affairs best, do you think it's right? "

Liu Chuan shook his head: "I can't tell the boys, but if it's the girls, they'll be ruined forever." Liu Chuan was very reluctant to say this, but he couldn't lie in front of his father, and he He goes home more often, and every time he comes back, he has to get along with Nana. He really feels sorry for that child.

Liu Changqing nodded: "Niujia has been our parent for more than a year, but you don't treat her as a relative. You have some feelings for her. Maybe you don't feel it now, but if one day in the future, you know This child is worse than dogs and cats on the street, or if something goes wrong, you will know if there is a long or short.

My son, I am your uncle, I know what kind of people you are, if that time comes, you will all feel guilty and regretful, regretting that you couldn't tolerate a child that no one wanted.

We can't do things we know we'll regret later, can we? "

Liu Xia hugged Mao'er tightly: "Boss, tell her to stay with us. We both have no objections." Although the reasons are completely different, Nana, like Mao'er, basically has no parents. Xia thought about what the cat would have been like if he hadn't been born in their family, and felt his heart throbbing with pain.

Liu Hai wrinkled his face and said: "I actually know she is pitiful, but I just think of her mother and I feel sick and can't bear it."

Liu Ling said: "At first I knew that Mengmeng was still at our house, and it was uncomfortable. Later, I found out that apart from having received a marriage certificate, my second brother has never had anything to do with Liu Dongju, and never put her at ease. On the contrary, I didn't feel it anymore.

Uncle, Mom, don't worry, I won't show her face on purpose. The main reason why I don't kiss her now is because of Liu Dongju. After a while, I will naturally have feelings for her. "

Liu Changqing nodded: "Well, I thought it would be like this.

Chuan'er, Xiao Hai, Yao'er, you've all heard it. A few days ago, your uncle, your eldest brother, and your second brother discussed with me and changed the name of the girl to Liu Ruomeng.

Moe, the initial sprouting of vegetation, used to refer to foreign people.

I hope that when this child comes to our house, it will be like a small grass or tree that has spent the winter, shedding its previous leaves, sprouting buds and growing new leaves again, starting from the beginning, and we will raise it from the beginning.

I told your second brother, when this child grows up and is sensible, if you ask about her mother, don’t hide it, she is not from our family at all, she is considered an outsider, we treat her as our own, child, and treat her wholeheartedly Well, as for what will happen when she grows up, it will be up to her to decide.

Chuan'er, do you think this is right? "

Liu Chuan said: "Uncle Zhong, I will find someone to change my household registration. You said that when she grows up, you should tell her her life experience. I also think this is the best way. This is not a matter of hiding, it is a matter of conscience. When the time comes I won’t leave, I have no conscience, you can find faults in whatever you do, so it’s fine if we don’t have a bad conscience.”

Regarding the matter of Liu Mao and Liu Dongju, Liu Chuan had the strongest reaction. Now that Liu Chuan can accept Nana calmly, Liu Changqing and Sun Chang'e exchanged a gratified look.

Liu Changqing went on to say: "The other one is about Xiao Yuli.

Xiaoyu has a family now, and she doesn’t want to run away to work any more. She wants to buy a few lathes and hope Ning can do it by herself. Your uncle is a little worried that you will lose money if you can’t find business. I discussed it with your elder brother. , I also thought about it for a long time, and I think this is good for Xiao Yu and his wife, and it is also good for the family. The most important thing is that I think Xiao Yu's idea is right.

Although Xiaoyu is not good at studying, she is diligent and steadfast, and her work is particularly good. For the same job, he does it a little better than others, and the child also winks when going out to deal with people. If you spend your whole life with others, you Big brother, I feel wronged, and I have to ask him to let go of his hand and try it out. If he loses money, now you and my family will all be able to make money, and your life will not be difficult.

Today I want to ask you a few miles. "

Liu Ling, Liu Hai, and Liu Xia raised their hands at the same time: "Yes, my fourth brother is sure."

Liu Chuan said: "Uncle, have Xiaoyu calculated for you how much it costs to set up a stall? I also think that Xiaoyu is good-looking and capable, and it would be good for the family when he comes back, but if there is too much money, we can't help him raise money." What are you doing?"

Liu Changqing nodded: "After the calculation, at least 2 yuan is required to move. Yuzhi and Yunzhi have already sent [-] yuan to your uncle. Hehe, Yunzhi's money was given to your uncle by Zhijie himself. , or your elder sister will divorce him.

Your second brother said that he gave Xiaoyu 3000 yuan, but I don't want your second brother to take so much. He must find someone to lend to Xiaoyu.

Adding up all of your uncle and the others, there is probably about 7000 yuan;

Liu Miao told Jianbin that if Xiaoyu did it by herself, they would all come back and do it together with Xiaoyu, each of them would give Xiaoyu five hundred;

You guys have given the family a lot of money in the past few years, and the family can't use it normally, so you have saved a lot, and your elder brother and sister-in-law have earned a lot from selling cloth this year, so I can give it to Xiaoyu..."

Liu Xia raised his hand: "Uncle, I'll wrap up the rest for my fourth brother. Don't worry about my elder brother. There are so many people in our family, we usually have to put some money in the house."

"The third uncle, Lifu..." Mao'er blurted out halfway, then stopped abruptly, glanced at Liu Chuan with a guilty conscience, and said to Liu Xia with a puffy face: "Then, then, you should go out to pick up private work again gone."

Liu Xia looked at the cat with a smile.

The cat kicked its legs twice angrily: "Why can't I grow up anymore?"

Liu Xia dragged the cat to his lap and hugged it: "Good boy, hurry up, ask your grandma to do the math for you, you should marry a wife soon, mom, how old is our cat?"

Sun Chang'e knew that Liu Xia was trying to piss people off, so she still smiled and said, "Fourteen years have passed in two days, so it's fifteen years old!"

Liu Xia raised his eyebrows and said to Mao'er: "Look, we are all fifteen this year, and eighteen next year. How fast."

Mao'er lay on Liu Xia's neck with a sullen face and didn't move. When he thought that the money he just saved would be gone soon, and his uncle might have to work overtime and do some personal work to earn money, he felt so aggrieved that he was going to die. .

The uncle who survived tens of thousands said that he was not allowed to move if he was beaten to death, and he saved it for his future wife. In fact, as long as the remaining amount is not less than [-], the uncle will feel at ease and will not rush to find another job Do it, but now... ah ah ah——

But, it's really not beautiful for the fourth uncle to run far away all day long, and Fat Xiaoxuan can't see her father all day, ah——, why are you so pitiful, why do you have to ask my uncle to spend money!He's only twelve, marrying a shitty wife...

Liu Changqing patted Liu Xia's head: "Boy, your fifth brother doesn't even have a girlfriend, and our family won't have much money to spend in a year or two, and your elder brother won't be able to use the money in my hand." , you are our family member, don't fuck..."

Liu Xia interrupted Liu Changqing with a look of arrogance: "Yes, I am the youngest in our family, the youngest, with the highest education, so I can earn the most money. Just do it, do the formulas, do the calculations, do the drawings. Dry it, brush it, count the money one by one!"

Sun Chang'e said, "Boy, who will believe what you say? How easy is it to make money?"

Liu Xia patted his chest: "Mom, who am I? My sixth brother has to hold back his drawing and hold back his inspiration. If he can't hold back, he will have nothing. For me, I put it in my stomach, ready-made Li, as long as we think about it, it’s all money, and it’s easier than for a girl to have a baby. It takes ten months for a girl to have a baby. When I’m happy, I can take on three private jobs a month.”

Liu Ling put his arms around Liu Xia's shoulders, and softly called out: "Yao'er!" From the letter Liu Chuan gave him, he could know how hard Liu Xia was doing private work to earn money. There are very few people who help Liu Yu, and the big head may really have to come out.

Liu Yu got married, and Liu Ling was still in the military academy, so he didn’t have much money, so he poured it all out; Liu Hai went abroad, he had just graduated and returned to the army for less than a year, and the money he had saved was not only for buying things for his family, but the remaining few hundred yuan for the Spring Festival When he left home, he was buried under his parents' pillows. He borrowed money from Chen Zhenbei, and Chen Zhenbei lent him a thousand dollars, and he buried it in Liu Hai's luggage.

The money has not yet been repaid, and Chen Zhenbei gave Liu Xia the camera money, Liu Xuan was born, Wen Yongfang got married...

What he could give Liu Yu this time was the 500 yuan that he planned to leave to his parents.

Liu Xia leaned into Liu Ling's arms: "Hey, Fifth Brother, although you don't earn much money, you have a lofty mission and everyone admires and loves you.

Although my job may seem inconspicuous, my life is solid, I get a lot of bonuses, and my private work is profitable, and everyone loves it. "

Mao'er raised his head: "Since when did you make a lot of money? You worked for more than two months, and you only earned some money when you were about to freeze to death."

Liu Xia tapped his chin on Mao'er's forehead: "If someone else worked for two years, he wouldn't be able to earn money. Besides, uncle didn't freeze to death. Don't you warm his hands and feet every day? Besides, you want to call our little brother Xuan can't see her father every day?"

The cat pouted so hard that it could tie a donkey: "No, I think I'm an idiot. I won't make money for you when I grow up."

Liu Kui said: "Xiao Xia, if you are generous, you can win three thousand for your fourth brother. Don't worry about the rest. Your fourth brother hasn't rented a house yet, and it's too early to buy machine molds. By then I just gave him the money and that's about it.

Don't do private work any more, baby, the big brother will take care of the family affairs in the future, your salary and bonus, take care of the two of you, and it's enough to fall in love, don't make yourself tired, . "

Liu Xia smiled: "Let's get it. Uncle, if there is anything else, just tell me!"

Liu Changqing said: "It's nothing, it's just that you will win the prize if you leave it alone and worry about yourself, and you don't have to worry about getting money for your family anymore.

Xiaohai is the farthest away from home, and there is a matter that no matter how long the family is, it will not be able to help you, so Xiaohai will save more money and keep it with him in the future, just in case.

It's time for Xiao Ling to find a girlfriend. Kyoto is expensive, and your salary is huge. If your family doesn't subsidize you, you'll be sorry for you. Boy, you should stop throwing away money at home. When you're in love, you have to give Let the girl buy a piece of clothing and treat her to a meal, right?Don't be stingy, scare away the good girl.

I won't talk about Xiaoxia, I will take care of the baby in the future, you two will win, if you have more money, save it, and use it when you get married in the future.

Chuan'er, come here, baby. "

Liu Chuan came over and sat beside Liu Changqing on the edge of the Kang.

Liu Changqing supported Liu Chuan's arm, took a deep breath and said, "Boy, you have been in the army since you were 17, and you have been in the army for more than ten years, and you have never borrowed or owed money again. That means two or three years?"

Liu Chuan smiled and called out, "Uncle."

Liu Changqing patted his hand: "Boy, from now on, you and Xiaohui will live your own life in a down-to-earth manner. You have also seen that they have grown up. Your elder brother has something to do now. Your mother Both are in good health.

You don’t have to think about anything in the future, do your job well, and buy yourself a few things when you see them. For so many years, you wear military uniforms and police uniforms all year round. A few fashionable clothes are all small. Ling and Yao'er bought it for you, but I've never seen you buy a piece of clothing for yourself.

In the future, apart from buying some delicious food for the baby when you come back, to make the baby happy, Xiaohui and you two don't need to buy anything at home. Our house is full of everything now, so don't waste your money.

Both of you have saved money. If any unit raises funds to build a building, you can find someone to report it, and work hard. At that time, you can’t be like Yao’er. without?If you are like Yaoer, I will feel ashamed of you for the rest of my life. "

Liu Chuan said with a smile, "No uncle."

The cat scratched Liu Xia's palm, and Liu Xia raised his eyebrows at him triumphantly, and whispered in his ear, "Persevere, you can't say it."

Cat nodded: "I know."

Liu Xuan and Mengmeng's voices came from the yard: "Yaya (Grandpa)."

"Grandma, mother, I have eaten, and my fourth aunt has brought you steamed jujube buns."

The commotion caused by the happy little fat man entering the house has not yet ended, and the courtyard is also bustling with people begging for Spring Festival couplets.

The author has something to say: Chima belly: Naked and naked.
