??Chapter 260 Crying Poor
??Xu Shixiang can also see that today, if the old man puts on this posture, if the brothers don't pull out a penny, it will definitely not work.
?? Four families pooled 1,600 yuan, and one family had to get 400 yuan.
??Four hundred yuan is not a small amount to them, and everyone feels distressed when they take it out all at once.
??So Xu Shixiang thought, cry poorly first, and see what the old man means, and if it doesn't work, just spend less.
?? "Yes, yes, Dad, you see we didn't bring so much money with us when we came back.
??Well, this is half a year’s pension money, you should collect it first. "
?? On the other side of Xu Shide, he quickly took out the fifty yuan that he had prepared in advance, and put it in front of Xu Chenghou.
??The old-age pension is eight yuan a month, and forty-eight yuan for six months, so let’s just pay fifty yuan.
??The fourth child gave pension money, and the others hurriedly paid for it.
??Xu Chenghou collected the money without further ado, "This is money for the elderly.
?? Don’t even try to fool me, tell me, can you help pay the sixth child’s medical treatment? "
?? "Father, we want to help, but you also have to understand our difficulties.
??The few wages I earn at work are not enough to do anything. Qiuyan is giving the child to my mother-in-law to watch, and she will work in the fields to earn work points.
??We don’t have much money for a month, and we have to give the family eight yuan plus food. We don’t have much money, so we can’t afford it. "
??Xu Shide looked at it, and among the brothers, he and the second brother had a worse life.
??Elder brother and sister-in-law both have jobs, and they have dual careers. Their lives are definitely not bad.
??The fifth daughter-in-law also joined the Xinglong Commune as a broadcaster a while ago, and the couple both earn wages.
??Ever since the brothers entered the door, the second child didn't say a word or anything, Xu Shide had no choice but to speak first.
?? "Father, it's not that we don't want to give this matter, it's true that we don't have it."
??Xu Shide spoke, and Xu Shixian continued.
?? "Yes, Dad, don't look at Linzi and I both work in the county, in fact Linzi's salary is not as good as in Songjianghe, and there is no forest subsidy.
??My three children are all studying, and they really can't open a little bit. "
??Who is easy in this year? Don't we all live a tight life?
??Double employment sounds good, but living in the city costs money everywhere, and you have to buy everything.
?? This is relying on the few articles he can write every month, a little manuscript fee or something, and life is better.
??But he also felt distressed if he was asked to take out several hundred at once.
??Four brothers, except for the second who didn't say a word, those few were crying poor.
??Hearing what the brothers said, Wei Mingrong couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to cry poorly.
??No one else wants to pay, so why should she take it out?
??Before Wei Mingrong could speak, Xu Shian quickly tugged on Wei Mingrong's sleeve, and shook his head towards Wei Mingrong.
?? Wei Mingrong didn't understand what her husband meant, so he glared at him, while Xu Shian kept winking at Wei Mingrong.
??The couple didn't speak, and their eyes have already fought several lawsuits.
??Xu Chenghou sat on the kang, and he could clearly see the small movements of his sons and daughters-in-law.
??The old man snorted in his heart, look, everyone, as long as money is mentioned, they all change their appearance, right?
?? "Then what do you mean, that you don't want to pay?"
??The old man smoked a bag of cigarettes, knocked the pot of the cigarette bag on the edge of the kang, and knocked out the soot inside.
?? Then he threw the cigarette bag into the basket on the kang, and looked up at his sons.
?? "Father, it's not that we don't want to come out, it's because we really don't have money in our hands, and we don't have the strength to do it." The three brothers said in unison.
??Xu Chenghou nodded, "Okay, if you can't take it out, I can't force you to take it out.
??Come on, let’s do it like this, don’t blame you, blame your father for not being able to save gold or silver or something. "
??The old man's words sounded unpleasant, and his heart was sad, and only he knew it.
?? "Old woman, have you prepared all the meals? No matter what happens when the children come back, we have to take care of the reunion dinner."
??Xu Chenghou didn't lose his temper, so he turned to ask Zhou Guilan.
?? "The meat and vegetables are prepared, but I haven't cooked them yet. Look, I haven't been idle all morning."
?? Zhou Guilan replied.
?? "Such a large family is counting on me as an old woman for dinner? I am old with old arms and legs, but I don't have that ability."
??Zhou Guilan was also angry, and what she said was tingly.
??Xu Shixian listened to it a few times, but still don’t understand? Quickly stabbed his wife.
?? "Come on, let's cook."
??The daughters-in-law also understood now that this is the old couple deliberately cleaning them up today.
?? Okay, so what else, let’s cook.
?? When these people come back, they can’t just talk about it. Just do the work when it’s time to work, and don’t make your parents-in-law unhappy.
?? Just like that, the daughters-in-law quickly changed their clothes, washed their hands and went to the kitchen to cook.
?? Fortunately, Zhou Guilan prepared quite a lot of food, including everything. Several people discussed the menu and got busy.
?? On the other side, Xu Shiyan was in a hurry.
?? Today is a big day for the Xu family to reunite. It's almost twelve o'clock, and they haven't passed yet.
?? At this moment, it is estimated that those few houses should arrive, but Zhao Jianshe and the others on his side are chatting around.
??Xu Shiyan couldn't open his mouth to drive people away, so he could only chat patiently with Zhao Jianshe and the others.
??Zhao Jianshe and Huang Shengli got Xu Chenghou's instruction, and they sat at Xu Shiyan's place until after twelve o'clock, and then they said that they had something to do, and they left.
??Xu Shiyan sent his brothers away, hurried back to the house, picked up Xu Haiqing and Xu Jinhui with his wife, led the two older ones out, locked the door and went straight to his parents.
??As soon as the family of six entered the yard, they saw Xu Haibo and Xu Jinfeng playing in the yard.
??When the children saw Xu Shiyan and his wife, they hurried over to pay New Year's greetings, "Happy New Year, Third Uncle, and Happy New Year, Third Aunt." The children
?? "Hey, good, good, all good."
??Xu Shiyan nodded, as a greeting to his nephews, and then carried the child into the house.
??As soon as I entered the east room, I saw the brothers sitting in the room, not knowing what to talk about, it was very lively.
?? Xu Shiyan and his wife greeted the brothers one by one, put the child on the kang, and unwrapped the quilt.
?? "Father, we came late, they went to play in Jianshe and Shengli just now, and they chatted a little longer."
??Xu Shiyan was worried that his father would be unhappy, so he had to explain a few sentences.
?? "Well, it's okay, the two of you have four children, and you are busy enough. It doesn't matter, your eldest brother and the others just arrived not long ago."
??The old man is clear in his heart, so naturally he won't blame his son.
??Su Anying put the child on the kang, took off the hat for the child, and took off the big cotton jacket outside.
?? "Shi Yan, you look at the child, I'm going to the kitchen."
??Su Anying felt that she came late, and the sisters-in-law were all busy in the kitchen, so she felt a little sorry.
?? "Yingzi, you sit here. Where are the two children? Who can coax the two children when they start arguing? The clumsy third child can coax the children?
??You just leave it here, why, without you, this meal can’t be finished? "
?? Just as Su Anying turned to go out, Xu Chenghou spoke.
