Chapter 66 Home and Home
If it had been before, Niu Ben said that he would not argue with these rural women.
It's just that he not only doesn't even feel a little aggrieved about these women now, but he can even stand there and look at these people with a smile. The more they talk, the more excited they are. The more they talk, the more they seem to believe that Niu Ben can't afford to save money to buy a motorcycle, and his implication completely points to what Niu Ben should have done. It was not right that I got this big thousand yuan and came back to beat my swollen face and pretended to be fat.
Without doing serious things, such behavior is undoubtedly the object of ridicule in the eyes of rural people who have always sought stability.
It's just that Niu Ben knows his own affairs, so he doesn't bother to talk to these rural women. At this time, he can even think of why some people act in a light breeze. Because once people have confidence, they don't pay attention to other people's sarcasm at all. Just like the so-called poetry and calligraphy, if you have money in your hand, are you afraid that others will call you a poor man?!
Niu Ben is like this now. Although there are several mouths next to him, he just smiled and watched his father learn to drive and ignored these village women.
When it comes to saying that my father is old, he is very slow to learn things, but in this matter, my father is no worse than that of young people. It is probably the basis for cycling all year round. He will be able to walk slowly with a gear in a short time. I believe that after learning for a while, there will be no problem after getting familiar with it. Moreover, my father was happy to learn. After he came to Niu Ben, he said with a smile, "Ben, if you come back in the future, I will ride a bike to the town to pick you up. This thing is more powerful than the old one!"
"Ha ha, that's good. Let Dad be my driver in the future." Niu Ben answered with a smile.
It's just that his words fell to the ground, but Aunt Li next to him said again, "I said that the big brother of the Niu family, motorcycles must be better than bicycles. But if you come from the wrong way, I'm afraid it's not easy to ride on the road!"
"What do you mean?!" My father immediately stopped the car and asked with a hesitant face.
"It's meaningless. I just want to say that your boy is really filial. At your age, you have a son who sends motorcycles, which is really the first of hundreds of families in the village!" Aunt Li said strangely, and then said, "My boy also said that when he saved money for a year, he would buy one for my old man. But now the cost of living is getting bigger and bigger. He has saved more than half a year and has never saved 5,000 yuan.
"That's your boy who likes to spend money indiscriminately." My father snorted and said, "Didn't he have a salary of 24,000 or 25,000 yuan a month? He has had tens of thousands of yuan in the past six months, and he can't even save 5,000 yuan. I really don't know how he spends money in the city."
"Yes, my boy takes more than 10,000 yuan in half a year, but he can't stand it!" Aunt Li curled her lips and then twisted her waist to the long-tongued women around her and said, "Our men all work in the town. This town spends more than in the city!" By the way, do we also have to ask our men to go to the city to find something to do tomorrow? The money we have left this year is really impressive!"
"Aunuch Li, what do you mean!" My father finally couldn't stand the sarcasm of the other party and said anrily, "My little run is in the city, and I don't earn less than your men. When he went home, he bought a lot of things for everyone in the family. Although these things are not quite rare objects, they are always better than children's filial piety, which is much better than those who only know how to reach for money from home.
Naturally, what my father said is ironic to Aunt Li, because everyone in the village knows that Aunt Li's boy talked about a girlfriend in the town. If you want to say that this is expensive, it means that his own salary is almost enough. But after the boy's own salary is paid, he will save a little every month, and then reach out to the house when he doesn't have enough money. Even once, when the family didn't pay, the boy quarreled fiercely with the family, which was known to the whole village.
The so-called family has its own difficult scriptures. In this village and outside the village, who doesn't have anything else can say!
It's just that Aunt Li usually says that the Eastern family is quite short, but once she hears others talk about her own family, she will immediately say a few words to others fiercely and will never stop if she doesn't annoy them.
This time, when she heard her father say this, she immediately changed her face and jumped and said, "Niu, which time can you dictate my family? It's natural to give money to children. I haven't heard of any parents who don't raise their children. It's you. Look at other men who have gone to the town to work. At your age in the village, you are the only old man left at home. You are also embarrassed!"
"Shut up!" Niu Ben heard that the village woman became more and more outrageous. Suddenly, his face was covered with frost and said, "My father, I don't have to go to that job!"
"Oh, your family is like that, and you don't have to work!" Aunt Li looked up and down at Niu Ben several times and said with a disdainful face, "I don't know who has to scoop out water every time it rains. Humph, you don't have to work, so why are you going to the city to be a boss!"
She spoke more and more harshly, as if she wouldn't stop if she couldn't raise her head.
The father still seems to retort, but Niu Ben has no leisure to talk nonsense with her here. Seeing that his father could almost ride his own, he turned to his father and said, "Dad, let's go back. It's really noisy here."
"Well, let's go back." The father turned around and stepped into the car, and started to drive back with the cow. However, Niu Ben saw that he was not very proficient, so he waved his hand with a smile and refused, and walked slowly to the village alone. It's just that he wanted to leave, but Aunt Li had a lot of indomitable momentum, so she encouraged several long-tongued women to follow the cow and kept mocking him all the way.
For this, Niu Ben only listened to the wind and continued to walk towards the village as if he didn't hear it.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Aunt Li and others saw him like this and immediately muttered an anh: "This boy beats people's faces and pretends to be fat. It's really complete. I guess he saved some money without eating or drinking in the city, and then came back to show off deliberately. I don't even have the fare to go back to the city now!"
Hearing this sentence, Niu Ben still smiled and shook his head. In this way, it is naturally impossible for others to chase sarcasm all the time, so Aunt Li stopped and seemed to be ready to disperse. However, at this time, Wang Haiyan, who had never appeared, ran over breathlessly. After seeing Niu Ben, she hurriedly said, "Xiao Ben, go back and have a look. Aunt Niu and I have been looking at the washing machine you bought for a long time, and we don't know what to do.
"What's the use? That thing is not an animal." Niu Ben took a reply with a smile and then said, "Let's go back with me."
With that, the two ran to the house one after another.
They just moved their steps, but Aunt Li behind them were stunned. It was not until a while later that Aunt Li blinked doubtfully and asked the people around her, "What did Yanzi say just now, Niu family, buy a washing machine?"
Several people next to him hesitated and nodded.
"Well, let's go and have a look?" Aunt Li looked at several people around, and everyone immediately responded one after another: "Go and have a look, go and have a look."
So, several people followed Niu Ben and Wang Haiyan, who had gone away, and rushed to Niu Ben's home.
In a short time, everyone had come to the door of Niu Ben's house and saw the tap water in his house, and a washing machine was spinning with a buzzing sound. At this time, Niu Ben had just changed from squatting to standing up from the back of the washing machine and said to Wang Haiyan and her parents next to him, "There are four big screws behind this drum washing machine to fix the drum. If you don't remove these screws, how can the washing machine work!"
"Ah, there are four big screws!" Wang Haiyan shouted in surprise and said, "I thought I could wash clothes directly by plugging in the power and pressing a few keys. I didn't expect to remove the screws first!"
Niu Ben and his parents both smiled and did not answer.
Only Aunt Li recovered after being shaken by the washing machine and immediately took two steps and said, "Oh, what a washing machine. This thing has only been seen on TV and people in the city. This is really the first time I have seen it in our village. At this time, several other long-tongued women also gathered around and touched around the washing machine, constantly praising that this thing was really good, and their eyes were full of envy.
After all, Aunt Li is different from those people. After admiring a few times, she hummed and said oldly, "Really, there is a river next to us, and it is convenient to wash clothes. In my opinion, buying this thing is just a decoration, a waste of money. If I had said it, it would be far better than buying a refrigerator. At least you can put leftovers in the refrigerator, and you don't have to bother people all the time, right?
My mother didn't know what had happened before. She just thought that this person was talking pertinently. She immediately rubbed her apron and said with a smile, "His aunt bought a washing machine, a refrigerator, and my family bought it back."
With that, my mother also invited several people to sit at home and drink some cold water.
The mother's action made Aunt Li, who was old-fashioned and taught people a lesson, and froze there in an instant. Turning their heads and several women who followed looked at each other a few times, they all found a look of shock in each other's eyes, and also found an obvious eye message: they came to the car and bought a washing machine, plus a big refrigerator, this awesome boy, didn't he have made a fortune in the city!
Turning her mind, Aunt Li seemed to be a little disbelief. She took two steps to the main room. Only when she really saw a refrigerator lying on the wall. Originally, there was always a sarcastic face, and suddenly turned into depression.
