far and near

The bell for the final exam rang, and Huai Fengnian breathed a sigh of relief. She stepped out of the crowd rushing out of the examination room with an air of strutting, and it wasn't her mother Song Huixiang or her father Huaixiang who came to the gate to greet her Long, but the senior and head teacher of the cram school.

"Xiao Huai, how do you feel about the last subject?" The head teacher looked at Feng Nian expectantly.

Huai Fengnian rubbed the curly hair on her head, "It's not a big problem." She always speaks cautiously when facing donors.But this statement made the teachers high-five each other, "That's good, that's good, go back and have a good rest, and remember to come to school on the day of the score check."

"Teacher, I won't go to school on the day of the score check. Today I will pack up my things and go to work in other places." Huai Fengnian said that a relative at home introduced a job in a foreign electronics factory, and she planned to work for two months. It is the work of ordinary workers, such as screwing and sticking tape for packaging, which can be done by anyone.

The teacher both admires and loves this low-key student who hides his personality.Although it is said that Huai Fengnian has a bad habit of hiding in bed and reading "idle books", but in the classroom examination room, no one is more focused and assiduous than her.Some classmates advised Huai Fengnian, "With your foundation, you can easily keep up."

Huai Fengnian said that I have a contract with the school, and I can't be lazy with my studies.Also, I want to try as hard as I can.The child who tried her best only went out of school a few times during the holidays, and spent most of the year at school. Sometimes I saw her holding a stainless steel rice bowl, which was full of vegetables and meat, stirring it and then eating it whole ,The big glasses slipped down, and Huai Fengnian raised his head to put them back in place, looking funny and cute.The teacher said that in the year of Huaifeng, you should not eat like this, but eat slowly.The little curly hair said that she enjoyed eating like this.In fact, because it tastes like this every time I eat it, I can't swallow it without disturbing Huai Fengnian.

If the taste of life is too monotonous, Huai Fengnian also uses this mixing method, bitter, salty, sweet, spicy, sour, fermented in Huai Fengnian's heart, she just opened her mouth and swallowed it.

After she came out, she called Yu Ren first, and it happened that Yu Ren received it, and even said that you come to Shanghai quickly, and I will take you to play.So the two agreed to meet in Shanghai before Huai Fengnian went to work.

After buying two more large watermelons and two boxes of ice cream, she carried her things to the village in the city, calling Su Hai to the right and Yuan Liu to the left. One of the two children who had just finished school put down their pens, and the other held up a hand full of foam. The guest who put down the shampoo jumped in.Huai Fengnian put the things on the ground and ate the popsicles angrily, "Sister, I finished the exam! I brought you delicious food, go put it in the refrigerator!"

Yuan Liu and Su Hai put all their food into the refrigerators, Mao Xinxia leaned out holding scissors, "Xiao Huai, you are too polite. Come in and turn on the air conditioner."

Yuan Huifang also greeted from the Unicom store, "Xiao Huai, come and drink mung bean soup."

Huai Fengnian, who was smoking ice cream and holding mung bean soup in one hand, was cooling off in Mao Xinxia's barber shop. Yuan Liu sat beside her and swung his legs, "Sister Fengnian, are you going to go to the same university as sister Yu Ren?"

Mao Xinxia brushed the scissors lightly on the guest's head, and she smiled when she heard this, "Xiao Liu, Xiaohuai didn't study at Renmin University, and I'm afraid she won't go to Fudan either, right?"

Huai Fengnian smiled shyly, "Study wherever you are taking the test." She turned her head to look for Su Hai, and the girl who had grown to over 1.6 meters returned to the barber shop and rubbed customers' scalps. She washed her hair like Feng Nian was doing a test carefulness.Mao Xinxia shook her head, "Look at us Xiaohai, we never liked reading when we were young, we only love working with hair."

Su Hai has already shown a trend of comprehensive horizontal and vertical development in adolescence. She has long been tired of corn braids. Ever since seeing the Wenqu star Qi Yiguo who came to Yuan Huifang's house last time, Su Hai after the Spring Festival wants to be ironed into waves like Xiao Qi. With long hair parted in the middle, she went to school in a Chinese-style double-breasted big purple padded jacket.Mao Xinxia was dissatisfied with her attire, saying that the padded jacket was a little dirty for a child.And this body really wasn't bought by her, but a gift from Su Hai's father who broke the chick to please his daughter.

Su Hai tidied up the waves, raised his sleeves to convince his mother, "The cuffs are fur collars, they look good!"

Whatever Su Hai believes, it is difficult for others to take away her aesthetics.Su Hai was told by the teacher at school that you can't perm your hair and dress like this, it's an adult's dress.Su Hai, who was already about the same height as the little teacher, said, I am almost an adult.

When the weather got hot, the small fur collar with double breasts couldn’t be worn. Su Hai fell in love with the aunt’s floral cheongsam. The water orchid blue and white is not the one for self-cultivation. She got it from Mao Xinxia, ​​who was fat after giving birth to her second child. Yes, it's wearing on her now.Hanging Suhai's body collapsed greatly, like a Taoist nun's robe.

Huai Fengnian took off his glasses and wiped them, took a sip of mung bean soup and glanced at Xiao Yuan Liu in a small white T-shirt and school uniform culottes. This is a typical elementary school student.Looking at Suhai again, she was picking up the punch, skillfully covering the guests' ears with one hand and aiming at the foam, then she also looked up at Huai Fengnian, "Bad Fengnian, your hair is like a chicken coop, I will help you in a while." You wash it." Su Hai's face was only ten years old, but he acted like he was seventeen or eighteen.

"Xiao Hai, do you ever talk like that?" Mao Xinxia glanced at Huai Fengnian's hair, "Xiao Huai, but your hair needs to be cut."

Su Hai stuck out his tongue at Huai Fengnian, and the innocence returned to his face.

When Huai Fengnian was lying on a chair to wash her hair, Su Hai tried the water temperature, "Hey, can you see if it works?" Huai Fengnian said that it should not be too hot. She was used to washing with cold water at school.

Yuan Liu sat on another empty chair and continued to shake her legs, "Sister Fengnian, do you want to get into Peking University?" Huai Fengnian said that Peking University is not easy to get into, and besides, her score hasn't come out yet, so she doesn't know if she can get in.

"Bad Fengnian, if you go to university and Yu Ren's sister is not here, who will play with me and Xiaoliu?" Su Hai is concerned about this issue.

"Winter and summer vacation, my sister will come to see you when she comes back." Huai Fengnian closed her eyes, enjoying Su Hai's massage of her hair.The movement of the head stopped, Huai Fengnian opened his eyes, saw Su Hai staring at him, and then curled his lips—what if Xiao Liu went out to study someday?Su Hai thought, she didn't want to play with the younger brother at home who was crawling all over the floor with tears and snot in his mouth.

"Mao Xinxia! Do you still care about this child? Open a store! You know how to open a store all day long. This child has to drink milk if he can't do anything else. You don't care about your own son?" The store door was suddenly pulled open, and the curse made people look sideways.

Mao Xinxia's mother-in-law scolded her daughter-in-law with a child in her arms. Regardless of whether there were customers in the store, she pulled Mao Xinxia who was still holding scissors aside, "Feed me!"

"I said weaning is weaning. Shouldn't he be eating complementary food when he's almost one year old? Xiao Hai stopped at ten months old." Mao Xinxia still put down the scissors, hugged her crying son, and coaxed her, "Baby is hungry? Mom will give you Is it okay to eat rice noodles?"

"I told her she can't eat rice noodles!" Mao Xinxia's second mother-in-law was also not easy on her feet. First, she disliked the oily daughter-in-law anyway, and after she gave birth to a grandson, she criticized Mao Xinxia's way of raising her children.Mao Xinxia gave birth to a second child in her thirties, and she didn't have enough milk.The mother-in-law thought it was caused by her uneasy confinement, plus she still kept busy in the store all day long, the less she took care of her body, the less milk she had.

Disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law about raising children appear to be due to differences in ideas and habits, but in essence they are intertwined with discipline and rebellion.

The two things Granny Mao Xinxia is most proud of in her life are that she has raised her son Shao Shengwei, who is a single heir for three generations. The second thing is that she forced her husband to build the first four-story building in the village in the city when the family was still in trouble. After her husband died of illness, she "Tighten your belt", and after two years of not knowing the taste of meat, you insisted on adding another three layers, so as to maintain the dignity of the big families in the villages in the city.

There are also several heart problems. One is that in the early years, a blind fortune-teller in the countryside touched his son's bones, saying that you will have nothing to say about filial piety in the future, and you can't cure his woman.The old lady asked if there was any remedy?The fortune teller said to change the name!I pinched my fingers and said it was Shao Shengjie, right?Not good, not good.Then stop talking.

The old lady gritted her teeth and put ten yuan in his hand.As soon as the blind man touched the RMB, he immediately pinched his fingers, "Jie is driftwood on the water and has no roots. Doesn't that mean he has no offspring? Even if he finds a wife, he may not be able to have a son." Then he touched the teacup and drank tea in silence.

With blood dripping from her heart, the old lady took out another ten yuan bill.The fortune teller said, change the word "Jie" into "Wei", and the next woman will rule the woman with an axe.From now on, your son will be able to cure his wife.

In 20, she spent a huge sum of 31 yuan to change this good name for her son.Then he burned incense and worshiped Buddha until his son was [-] years old and still not married.Every time I think of that blind man in the country, I scold him, "You bastard lied to me for decades."

The 31-year-old Shao Shengwei looked down upon no one but Mao Xinxia.He had been secretly in love with this female classmate since junior high school. When Mao Xinxia got married, he regretted it a lot when he found out. He blamed himself for being too timid to chase after her, so he just lay in bed for three days without eating or drinking.When Mao Xinxia got divorced, Shao Shengwei said that he would marry Mao Xinxia, ​​or he would be single.

Sure enough, it was going to fall on a woman.The old lady scolded the blind man who cheated her of 20 yuan.He scolded Mao Xinxia even more.This second-marriage daughter-in-law who brought Su Hai here seems to be soft-tempered, but she is actually stubborn.She was disobedient to the old lady, and managed Shao Shengwei submissively, so her daughter-in-law became her second worry.

The third heart disease is to solve the problem of her family's four generations of single inheritance.In the past few years when Mao Xinxia was married, the old lady talked about burning incense every night, and she dragged Shao Shengwei to cry, "Seven floors, who do you want to change to a dozen houses? The girl surnamed Su?" You If you can't give birth, let alone the issue of family property, the people in the village in the city will think that you are a pickpocket for picking up broken shoes.Taking care of wives and children for others and spending money.You feel honored, don't you?

Shao Shengwei said, what are you in a hurry for?Even if I marry her, can I keep her belly flat?

Hearing what her son said, the old lady wiped away her tears, saying that the 20 yuan spent by the blind man was worth it.Sure enough, four generations of single-pass seedlings were born.It seems that the quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will end, but unexpectedly, conflicts will increase instead.

The old lady said that she had raised a son. Didn't Mao Xinxia give birth to a daughter?Can adopting a child be the same as adopting a daughter?Her fallacy is that her son can breastfeed until he is five years old, and his daughter can be weaned at half a year old. "Long-term breastfeeding" is not a disease in the eyes of the old lady, but it is still the honor of the family.But Mao Xinxia couldn't squeeze out a drop.

The daughter-in-law has the barber shop in her heart, picked up the scissors as soon as she was confinement, and put her son in the barber shop to take care of her.The old lady said you want people to see our jokes?Can't afford to keep your mouths open?

What nutrition does rice flour control?Babies need milk to grow strong.Looking at the son Mao Xinxia was holding, he was small and thin, and he glanced at Su Hai, who was only ten years old and half a head taller than her. Like a pig."

This remark shocked the urban village guest who had only half cut her hair and knew her family well, and immediately said to Mao Xinxia, ​​Xiaomao, I will cut this hair tomorrow.After the battle of Yuan Huifang's family in Chengzhong Village subsided, the independence war of Su Hai's family took shape.

Mao Xinxia said I'm sorry, you tie it first, and I will give you a free nursing tomorrow.

Even Huai Fengnian, who was lying there washing her hair, noticed that the situation was not good and the atmosphere was tense. Her curly hair was just washed, and water droplets were still dripping on her hair. A dry towel was thrown on her head. Su Hai said, " You wipe the bad harvest yourself."

Huai Fengnian was looking for glasses everywhere, and Yuan Liu handed them to her, and the blushing child of Little Apple huddled beside Huai Fengnian, Yuan Liu said, "This is incredible."

It's terrible, Mao Xinxia handed the child to her daughter to hold, and started cursing with the old lady on her hips in the barber shop, "Please tell me clearly, what do you mean should not be fat like a pig?" Mao Xinxia, ​​who seemed gentle and beautiful, There is one principle to be followed in quarrels, you can scold anyone, but you can't scold her Su Hai.

"It's your oil bottle. She eats three bowls at a meal, and half of a watermelon at a time. If she is not fat, who will be fat? She will give half of what she eats to my grandson, and this child will not be so thin." The old lady said The grandson's thinness was attributed to Su Hai's fatness.When people hear it, they think that Mao Xinxia favors one and treats the other more unfairly.

Mao Xinxia was angry from the bottom of her heart, and the voice of Dantian Juqi expanded, "That's because you, an old bastard, don't give children food supplements! Eat milk and milk, I'm milk-the head is flattened, but it doesn't have it! Shouldn't it be supplemented with rice flour and milk powder? ? As long as you know how to raise a child, you don’t allow egg yolks or mashed potatoes, so why don’t you feed him Shiquan Dabu pills? You have the fucking ability to express the milk!”

From not letting Mao Xinxia out of bed one month before giving birth, to confinement forced her to drink sour water because of crucian carp soup five times a day, the baby's eating and drinking has become a big issue in this family. I have some opinions. Disagreement means slamming doors and bowls and cursing others.Now, the accumulated anger between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has turned into a fight after the quarrel. The old lady is not old, Mao Xinxia is a woman, the chair of the barber shop was kicked to the door, and the glass door was blown to a crack. The old lady cut the hair dryer inside. Tooth scissors and scissors all smashed out of the store together, "Cut your hair, don't feel ashamed." Hair dye and styling agent gel water were also swayed on the wall mirror, and the Boston Tea Party event became an urban village.

The guy who smashed Mao Xinxia's food was his life, and she and her mother-in-law scuffled into a ball.The little baby was quarreled and cried loudly... In the chaotic barber shop, the scolding of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was amplified into a quarrel effect of more than a dozen people.Seeing that Mao Xinxia was at a disadvantage now, when the old lady grabbed her hair and pulled it aside, Su Hai stuffed her younger brother into Huai Fengnian's arms, "Hold!"

She stepped forward to throw the old lady down, crying and biting the old lady's fingers, "Don't hit my mother!" Su Hai, who is tall, forcefully broke off the old lady's hand, and took another bite hard on her wrist, stunned. It is to fast forward the scene to the Lexington gunshots.

The old lady suddenly looked at the two-on-one situation in front of her. After being bitten, she burst into tears and pointed to the bleeding hand, "I hit someone! Mother and daughter hit me! I hit someone..."

The curly hair of Huai Fengnian was still dripping water, one drop, two drops, landed on the baby's mouth, the child stuck out his tongue and smacked it, and stopped crying.

Frightened, Yuan Liu was still holding mung bean soup. She took a sip in shock, looked at Huai Fengnian, and then stared at Brother Su Hai, who was drinking shampoo water happily. She asked the tall young man Sister, "He seems to be hungry, Sister Fengnian, do you have milk?"

Huai Fengnian, who was being foolishly cried by the old lady and Mao Xinxia, ​​let out an "Ah", blushed and held the baby away a little, "My sister hasn't given birth yet, so there is no way she can have milk."

Suddenly feeling that the trousers were wet and hot, Huai Fengnian lowered her head and found that the baby in the crotch pants had moistened her first with a bubble of hot urine mixed with yellow poop.The stinky smell came to the nostrils, and Huai Fengnian was about to cry, "Ah... ah, Su Hai! Stop hitting me, your brother pulled me!"
