cannon fodder life

"Baby, don't cry. There is nothing hard to overcome in this world. There is still your brother. When your brother comes back, if there is any problem, tell him." The old lady tried to persuade her youngest son by touching his head.

Only then did Zhao Jinbao gradually stop sobbing, but his voice was still a little choked when he spoke. The old lady brought Zhao Jinbao in, and the eldest daughter-in-law looked a little unnatural when she saw Zhao Jinbao.Turned directly into the room.

"Your sister-in-law has such a donkey temper, don't be as knowledgeable as her." The old lady comforted her youngest son and said, the eldest son of the family is promising, and the only thing that worries him is the youngest son: "Baby, tell me, after all What happened, how did you become like this?"

Zhao Jinbao subconsciously wanted to complain, but seeing the old mother's gray hair, he decided to wait for his brother to come back before saying: "Where is my brother?"

"He went to the factory to look at the goods, and he will be back later." As the old lady spoke, she touched Zhao Jinbao's face distressedly, and muttered to herself: "I'm thin, I'm hungry, daughter-in-law, hurry up!" Order for Bo'er to take out our leftover ribs from yesterday."

The eldest daughter-in-law's face was a little stiff: "Mom, I'm not feeling well now, you can go by yourself." After she finished speaking, she closed the door tightly. After closing the door, her face suddenly darkened. It was Zhao Jinbao who insisted on The one who snatched the child away, what are you doing here every now and then?Reminding her that this failed mother can't even protect her own children is still reminding them that the second wife is always superior to others, and she will always be stepped on.

The eldest daughter-in-law was sulking in the house, but it didn't affect the mother-child relationship in the kitchen at all. Zhao Jinbao entered the room and saw the ribs, and ate them happily until he ate a large pot of ribs and left a few small pieces , he realized that his eating was a bit bad.

At this time, Zhao Zhaocai also came back. He saw his younger brother coming from afar, and he didn't care about the ribs that were eaten on the table. As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Jinbao flew over: "Brother, I'm so useless."

The eldest daughter-in-law saw that her husband was back, so she also came back and sat aside to listen. Anyway, every time Zhao Jinbao came to the door, she would just watch a monkey show for free.

"Say something slowly." Zhao Zhaocai comforted him. He was used to taking care of his younger brother, and his younger brother was also used to taking care of him. He didn't let his younger brother suffer any grievances, so why did he suddenly cry now?

"It's still because of Ershan, Ershan said, he said he was not born by me, and he didn't recognize me." Zhao Jinbao felt aggrieved while talking. Although the child was not born by him, it was his wife who worked so hard to bring it. How can I just ignore them when I grow up?

"Why is this child like this now? Don't worry when he comes over, I'll send you back." Zhao Zhaocai said, in his eyes, Ershan definitely wanted to come back to him.

"He won't come back. He made some money during the summer vacation and went to live in school. I wanted him to go to school and he refused to listen to me." Zhao Ershan said aggrievedly, and he didn't want to do this either.

"Brother, I know, I'm not as promising or rich as you, Ershan should look down on me, but I've raised him for so many years, how could he say that I'm not his father in front of so many teachers? "After Zhao Jinbao said this, he looked at Zhao Zhaocai's face carefully: "Your children have been suffering with you, and my sister-in-law must regret it now, or you can take the children back, because twisted melons are not sweet."

After the eldest daughter-in-law heard this, her face was full of sarcasm. The family had been saying this for more than ten years from the time she had just given birth to the present. At first she still believed it, but now... huh.

Zhao Zhaocai immediately lowered his face: "There is no reason for the adopted child to go back. If you say yes, then it is for you. You are not allowed to say this in the future."

"But, Ershan, he doesn't recognize me!" After Zhao Jinbao said this, Zhao Zhaocai said directly: "I will let him come to my house this weekend, and I will tell him."

"Then thank you brother, I'm going back." Zhao Jinbao walked out the door and came back all of a sudden, his voice choked up: "You are really the best brother in the world."

Zhao Jinbao is nearly 60 years old, and because he does too much farm work, he looks much older. He looks like a [-]-year-old old man, but he looks like this little old man. In the eyes of his mother and brothers, he is still a baby who has not been weaned.

After getting the guarantee, Zhao Jinbao left in high spirits. He knew from a young age that there was nothing his brother couldn't do, and his brother was a man with brains and ability.

After Zhao Jinbao left, Zhao Zhaocai discussed Ershan's problem with his old mother: "Mom, what do you think Ershan should do here? If it doesn't work, I will pay Ershan's tuition and living expenses, let him go back!"

"No, this is Jinbao's child. What do you think is going on? If it's a gift from uncle to nephew and niece, why did he only give one." Jinbao has money, and if you give Ershan some sweets, he won't want to go back."

"Then what should we do? Ershan shouldn't have known it in the first place." Zhao Zhaocai's teeth were itching with hatred when he said this, and he wanted to hit someone, but he didn't know that it was the gossip woman who told the truth. In the past, he occasionally helped Ershan, Ershan will be very happy, unlike now, he insists on treating his children equally.Is the adoptive one comparable to the biological one? How can they be treated equally.

"When Yuanyuan comes home, I'll ask him to bring Ershan back. Even if he can really make money, he won't be able to make a lot of money. He will have to rely on adults to raise him soon. Just bring Ershan. I'll talk to Ershan about other things." The old lady made a strong promise, and Zhao Zhaocai agreed.

The Zhao family agreed unilaterally, so that when Zhao Ershan saw the person in front of him, he was shocked and bewildered. Seeing that Ershan did not speak, Zhao Yuan frowned impatiently: "Our family all hope that you can be the second son." Uncle's child, not to mention that you have been the second uncle's child for so many years, you can't just say it's inappropriate, you can't be heartless."

"I can't compare to you if you have no conscience." Zhao Ershan completely refused to go to see his biological parents: "I know that your family doesn't care about me, and I'm not someone who depends on your family. I hope you don't want to. Talk to me like a brother."

"How can you talk like that today?" Zhao Yuan looked at Ershan as if he was looking at a young man who had lost his footing. Zhao Ershan didn't bother to talk to him. His time is very precious, and he still has to give lectures to others. Hope for the stars Looking forward to the moon, looking forward to a big client, you can't be delayed because of a stranger.

Zhao Ershan was about to leave, Zhao Yuan definitely couldn't let him leave just like that, but Ershan didn't spoil him, he could follow along, if he wanted to take him away, unless he paid double the tuition fee, otherwise, there would be no gaps in the door.

Zhao Ershan didn't hide from Zhao Yuan, and part of it was to tell him that he could make money, and he didn't need to worry about their family's things anymore, so he wanted to give him reassurance. Looking at Zhao Yuan's shocked face, Ershan didn't say anything. I am also a little proud in my heart. He can earn 50 yuan per hour for supplementary lessons, and he is still a long-term customer.

In the future, this body will be used by the original owner. Now he can easily accumulate a good reputation for the original owner, and he can also impress the Zhao family who have always looked down on the original owner.Zhao Ershan waited for Zhao Yuan to react, or he would become angry with embarrassment, or leave with shame on his face.

Zhao Yuan was stunned for a few seconds, and when he came back to his senses, he disapproved and said, "Students help each other, how can you collect money?"

"Classmate, I'm your senior in the second year of junior high school. If you don't know anything, you can ask me. I'm free." Zhao Yuan gave Zhao Ershan a disapproving look, and Zhao Ershan became angry when he saw this scene: "You want to fight with me?" Grab business."

"Helping classmates is not a business." Zhao Yuan said disapprovingly.

"No need, I'm here to look for Ershan." The male classmate said, he was moved because Ershan took the first place in the two monthly exams. Familiarity, if because of Zhao Yuan the first age is kicked out, it's not good after all.

"I don't allow you to do this." Zhao Yuan came forward stupidly, and was instantly unstoppable. Zhao Ershan didn't save him any face this time: "Get out."

Zhao Yuan was scolded and rolled away suddenly, and his temper became even worse in an instant. Now that it was time to leave school, Ershan directly dumped him and went to make up lessons for new classmates.

In desperation, Zhao Yuan had no choice but to go home and tell the Zhao family about Ershan's recent condition. Mrs. Zhao became even more unhappy when she heard this: "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate. This used to be lived in a village. Ask him Just a question, he still has the nerve to take money, he has enjoyed it so much, where can I put my old face in the future?"

"Mom, don't worry. I'll ask Ershan right now. Even if he doesn't want to be part of the Zhao family, he has to make it clear." Zhao Zhaocai hated Ershan almost to death. He and his brother have been together for decades. The good friendship is about to be ruined by Ershan.

Zhao Ershan found a place to resume his old career, and everything is developing in a good direction. The only fly in the ointment is that Zhou Ershan saw Zhao Zhaocai at the school gate.

The person in front of him was the one who had been courted by the original owner, who had hugged his thigh, and was also the original owner's own father. Except for the few working memories, the original owner had the deepest impression on this person.

"You don't plan to go back now, do you?" Zhao Zhaocai asked.

"Yeah, I'm living a very good life now, and I don't need to go back and live under the fence." Ershan thought about the grievances of the original owner over the years, and also thought that Zhao Zhaocai had always been unclear about this matter, so he said, "It doesn't matter if you Believe it or not, since they had their own children, I have been doing all the work at home, big and small."

"As the eldest son, you should do more work." Zhao Zhaocai said.

"They don't give me good food. As long as there is meat at home, I will only give it to them."

"You're the big brother, what's wrong with your younger siblings? That's how I came here back then."

"I don't have many clothes, except for the school uniform, there is no set of clothes without patches." Ershan said again.

"If you don't have it, you don't have it. That's how I came here at the beginning. At least you have enough food and clothing at home. Besides helping with some housework, you have to suffer. It's hypocritical." The more Zhao Zhaocai listened, the more he felt that Ershan was very ignorant : "Hurry up and go home after school, your parents are anxiously waiting for you at home."

Zhao Ershan felt that he was playing the piano to the cow. The grievances suffered by the original owner were so lightly passed by Zhao Zhaocai?

"I've said it before, I won't go back to that house again, don't worry, I won't disturb your life either." Zhao Ershan stepped on the class bell and entered the classroom in a calm manner. Only then did Zhao Zhaocai realize that, This time, he seemed to be messing up what he had promised his younger brother.

Zhao Zhaocai was thin-skinned and wanted to show off his elder brother's prestige as a father. When he encountered a problem that he couldn't solve, he could only adopt the most commonly used method of procrastination. After a long time of procrastination, Zhao Jinbao knew what was going on.If it was something else, Zhao Jinbao would have cried, made trouble, hanged himself and begged his brother to agree, but regarding Ershan's question, Zhao Jinbao suddenly felt that persistence would not have any good influence on him.

Ershan has been studying at school for thousands of years, but Zhao Jinbao and his wife at home are feeling more and more uncomfortable every day. Although with Zhao Zhaocai's help, their family's harvest this year is still not very satisfactory. Production is only half of what it was last year.Some of the chickens, ducks and geese died for some reason.What made them feel distressed the most was that the two pigs were fat and strong in the past, but now they are skinny pigs.

The more Zhao Jinbao's daughter-in-law thinks about such things at home, the more uncomfortable she feels. In her opinion, the culprit is Ershan, but Ershan is no longer in front of them, and there is no trace of him.

"No, I'll go to school in person tomorrow." After thinking for a long time, Zhao Jinbao's wife decided to go to school and bring Ershan home.She didn't feel anything when Ershan was at home, but when Ershan left, she really felt annoyed.

"Can you do it?" Zhao Jinbao asked in disbelief. He and his brother both failed, and the daughter-in-law didn't look like a capable person no matter what!

"It looks like the Chinese New Year is coming, can he come back for the Chinese New Year?" Zhao Jinbao's wife said.

Hearing this, Zhao Jinbao felt that his mind was muddled. How could he have forgotten such an obvious thing?The dormitory in junior high school must be locked during the Chinese New Year, and then they will be able to bring Ershan home.

"My daughter-in-law is still smart." Zhao Jinbao said, putting his arms around his daughter-in-law, wishing he could kiss her on the face.

"Don't be so busy praising me." Zhao Jinbao's wife pushed Zhao Jinbao away in disgust: "I think I won't let Ershan go to school in the future, anyway, he graduated from junior high school, and now he is also a graduate, and he has a junior high school diploma. What can I do? I can’t earn 200 yuan more when I go out to work.”

"I don't think it's okay to let the current Ershan not go to school." Zhao Jinbao said, it's not that he deliberately favors Ershan, but if he doesn't go to school, he will really tear down the house, not to mention that Ershan is not good now. listen to him.

"You don't have to worry about it." Zhao Jinbao's daughter-in-law didn't say anything else, she just fell asleep and fell asleep. Zhao Jinbao stayed at home nervously all night. The next day, Zhao Jinbao's daughter-in-law went to school to pick up Ershan. Thinking about it, Ershan didn't go out, and Zhao Jinbao's wife couldn't just go in the boys' dormitory, because she was so angry for a while, she didn't have a smiling face for several days.

Ershan didn’t know it yet, but his unintentional behavior saved him from being entangled. After the final exam, Ershan went to make up lessons for others during the day, and sometimes stayed at the home of the make-up students at night. school dormitory.

Ershan saved his high school tuition for himself little by little, but in the Zhao family without Ershan, there was a silent gunpowder. Zhao Jinbao's wife yelled at the two children: "I told you not to let you run around Jumping around, look at your dirty clothes, did you run to roll in the snow? And look at your shoes, do you know how hard it is to clean them in winter? You don’t know how to save me Don't worry."

"Daughter-in-law, don't be angry, I'll clean the shoes." Zhao Jinbao rescued the two children, sent them away, and then said, "What's wrong with you this year, your temper is getting worse every day."

"It makes you happy to wash the clothes of four people and cook meals for four people every day. Where did Ershan go? Does he really dare not go back to this house?" The face is not obvious, there is something to ask about the expression.

"No." Zhao Jinbao's daughter-in-law said: "I helped my elder brother raise a child for 15 years. It doesn't make sense that he can leave us and fly alone when his wings become stiff. We will go to our elder brother to ask for the child support for these years after the Chinese New Year. To feed such a big child, food and clothing for a year, as well as labor expenses for the two of us, no matter what, it costs 1 yuan, 15 yuan in 15 years."

"My brother won't give it back, and he won't let us send the child back." Zhao Jinbao couldn't help but pause when he said this: "Didn't you worry about the bad reputation of returning the adopted child before, why don't you mention it now? .”

"I used to think that as long as I raise my children well, they will definitely treat us as their biological parents. Now it is obvious that we are wrong. Look at Ershan, the wings are hard, so we don't care about us two empty-nesters. You say something like this Son, what do we want him for?" Zhao Jinbao's daughter-in-law didn't feel that there was any shame in her statement.

Zhao Jinbao couldn't hold back his wife, so he could only accept it passively. Ershan was outside now, and the two people were not plotting against him, so he didn't need to respond.

During the Chinese New Year, when the whole family is happy and firecrackers are going off, Zhao Jinbao and his wife uttered this shameless algorithm. The old lady who reacted the most was so frightened that the chopsticks holding the dumplings fell to the ground.

"Baby, you can't do that. Your brother is so kind to you. How can you cheat him like this?" The old lady said tremblingly and emotionally, fearing that after a hundred years, the two brothers would become enemies, Zhao Jinbao The daughter-in-law rolled her eyes in a place where no one was around. The old woman is partial to the elders. Whoever has money is partial to the other, the old woman is dead.

When the old lady saw Zhao Jinbao's daughter-in-law's eyes, she became angry all of a sudden: "I'll beat you to death, you troublemaker, and tell me if you came up with this idea, our Jiabao doesn't have so many flirts."

Zhao Jinbao's daughter-in-law was also upset by the old lady's viciousness: "What's so vicious about me, you are the vicious one. You don't know that Ershan won't be in this family for a few months and won't recognize us anymore. The child who has worked so hard to raise for more than ten years suddenly doesn't recognize us, is it wrong for us to ask for financial compensation?"

"For 15 years, I took Ershan not for a day or two, but for 15 years. In the past 15 years, I changed diapers and fed goat milk. I have paid so much for the children who don't want us now. You should not take responsibility. Is it?" After Zhao Jinbao's daughter-in-law finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Jinbao who did not cooperate with her performance with a blank face, and she shouted: "Zhao Jinbao, do you think this is right or not?"

"Yeah, I ordered a portion of sauced elbow and ate only dead bugs, and the store still pays full compensation, brother, I don't want you to pay all of it, just give some hard money, our family is not like yours, our family has a big business. "After Zhao Jinbao finished speaking, he still hugged the old lady's thigh, and told him all his experiences these days. In short, he made a thousand mistakes and denied Ershan's fault.

"I'll give you 15 yuan. Just pretend that you have never supported Ershan." Zhao Zhaocai finally said something.

"Zhao Zhaocai." The eldest daughter-in-law looked at her husband in disbelief. What does this man think of her?The child born in October was given away as much as he wanted, and now he has to give money to his brother.

"This year is Chinese New Year, let our mother feel better." Zhao Zhaocai whispered, his father passed away when he was ten years old, and it was not easy for his mother to raise the two brothers with a woman. Mother is not happy.

The eldest daughter-in-law didn't talk much, so no one knows her emotions, right?The eldest daughter-in-law was unhappy because of the 10 yuan. Although the two of them worked hard to enliven the atmosphere, the atmosphere was still not as good as before.

Zhao's family was full of anger at the New Year's Eve dinner, and they were out of their minds when they watched the year. It was not until after midnight that the old lady went back to her room with a straight face and went to sleep: "It's all because Ershan, the bastard."

Zhao Zhaocai only felt that he had a bad luck in his life to give birth to a child like Ershan, so after a while, he finally paid 15 yuan and got it back.

Zhao Jinbao and his wife got the money, so naturally they didn't care about Ershan's problem. Zhao Yuan asked, "When will Ershan pick him up?"

"What are you doing picking him up? Let him be outside if he can." Zhao Zhaocai said angrily, provoking him outside would make him angry just the same when he came back. Ershan should be satisfied this time, and his calculations are finally settled. I got my wish.

When Zhao Zhaocai thought of this, he felt sorry for his old mother and his younger brother's family.At the same time, I regard everything that happened today as Ershan's scheme, and I don't like Ershan even more in my heart.

Ershan was busy studying and lecturing. He didn't know when he would have the ability to save his life from a distance. When Ershan knew that his ownership had returned, it was almost summer vacation.

Ershan felt that his reflex arc was too long this time. Looking at Zhao Yuan in front of him, Ershan thought for a while and said, "I know." There can be less family pits, at least in the future, the original owner will not need to pay too much money for retirement.And when it comes to the learning ability of their children, Zhao Yuan is obviously much smarter than the two of Zhao Jinbao's family.

Zhao Yuan imagined that there were tears in his eyes, and tears of joy, but not only that, but he acted very coldly: "You can go home to live during the summer vacation, just in time, we also want to connect with each other."

"Okay." Ershan thought for a while and said.

During the summer vacation, Ershan’s grades are still the first in the grade. Although Ershan goes to the Zhao family in name during the summer vacation, in fact, the Zhao family can’t even see Ershan’s face. Every opportunity to communicate.

After Zhao Zhaocai discovered this, he was so angry that he didn't want to leave Ershan anymore. Ershan continued to write and do calculations every day, and occasionally had a meal or two with the Zhao family. Although the old lady didn't like Ershan, she would not take the initiative to ask Ershan Working, Ershan's mother-in-law wished she could hide away from Ershan, and Ershan was happy to be alone.

The only thing that is not good is Zhao Jinbao's family. They built a new house, but they still have to do some work, but there are only two laborers.Zhao Jinbao was also embarrassed to bother Zhao Zhaocai about washing clothes, cooking and cleaning the pigsty, so he could only watch helplessly as the house became more and more chaotic.

"It's okay, daughter-in-law, if you don't mow the grass in the field, you will die in winter." Zhao Jinbao's comfort did not have much effect at all. She was happy when she first received the money, but she was upset when no one was working. Thinking about Ershan going to live in a big house to enjoy the blessings again, I feel blocked again and again.

Ershan has been busy all the time. During this period, the original owner has been very quiet, as if he did not exist. By the third year of junior high school, he has been busy with his studies. The main thing is to remember the key question types so that he can make up lessons for others. The day before, the head teacher was in front of the podium, cheering them on with high spirits.

"A life that has not taken the senior high school entrance examination is an incomplete life. I wish you all the best in your future study and life." No wonder.

However, Ershan thinks so, and the other soul in his body doesn't think so. When he hears that a life that has not taken the high school entrance examination is an incomplete life, his emotions start to get agitated, and there are anytime, anywhere. Feel.

Ershan felt a sudden shock, he would rather do one more task than go through another factory rebuilding, but the original owner in his body didn't care about anything else, he just wanted to come out quickly and have a complete life.

Ershan felt that his soul was a little floating, but the soul of the original owner popped out: "Thank you for helping me through the most difficult time. I really want to take the high school entrance examination. Compared with before, I am much better."

Immediately afterwards, Ershan lost consciousness. Ershan always felt that some of these original owners were not very reliable. The last time was considered normal, at least he could fly after receiving the university admission letter. If you haven't finished the exam, aren't you afraid of being cheated again?

Thinking about that bad return to the factory for renovation, Ershan's thoughts froze for a moment, the original owner is really not afraid of being tricked again.
