Chapter 49 Old Xu's Voice
"If it hadn't been for the second uncle's debt and repaying my father's name, my mother would not have been scared to fall ill. Now the second aunt still says such sarcastic words? Besides, my mother didn't spend much money on your family. Xu Xinger couldn't hear others say that Ye was not good. After listening to Li's words, she suddenly burst into hair.
Xu Laosan came forward and pressed his daughter's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I have already told my father to separate. No matter how much it costs for Xing'er's medical treatment and medicine, we can carry it ourselves and will not involve you."
Lao Xu frowned and said, "I have long said that now it is not allowed to raise the division. People eat grains and grains. How can they not get sick? It's okay to get sick. There's so much nonsense!"
"Dad, how can there be so much money at home to give her medicine..." Li was unwilling.
When Chen heard that there was ginseng in Ye's medicine, she suddenly hesitated. In fact, she didn't want to separate her family earlier, especially now that the second family owes money for gambling. No one knows if he will gamble in the future. Although the three are diligent, they have a medicine jar at home now, and they will say no in the future. Good thing.
Now my two daughters, one has been married and is just waiting to pass the door next year. The other is still young. Boss Xu is still diligent and has the craftsmanship of a door carpenter. If they divide the family, they will definitely live a better life.
Thinking of this, Chen couldn't help saying, "Dad, if the second and the old three families want to separate, there is no way to suppress them. You can't completely ignore their thoughts, right?"
Old Xu's head suddenly fell silent. His back was straight just now, and suddenly collapsed. His whole body seemed to be stiff and he sighed heavily, "If you really want to separate, if you all agree to split up when your mother comes back, then let's divide..." After he finished, he didn't look at everyone and turned back to his room by himself.
Xu Xinger looked at the back of the old man and was silent. She turned around and stared at Li, pulled Xu Laosan and said, "Dad, let's go home. Mom should worry about going back late."
As soon as the two returned home, Ye Shi said happily, "Come and see, the lock will laugh."
Xu Lingzi sat on the kang holding the lock and coaxed him, "Look at the lock. Sister Xing'er is back."
Xu Xinger quickly went to wash her hands and face, grabbed the face and teased the lock and said, "Locker, give me a smile."
Suoer was really very face-opened. She grinned, revealing her pink gums that had no teeth. She smiled and drooled on her bib and stretched out her arms to Xu Xinger and wanted her to hug her.
Xu Xinger stuffed the noodles into Taoer and said, "Here, Dad bought it for you." Then he took the lock and held it in his arms and said, "Does the lock miss my sister?"
Locker waved her little hand full of saliva, slapped Xu Xinger on the face, and giggled happily.
"You little bad guy." Xu Xinger rubbed his little face with her cheek. Seeing that he smiled happier, she gently nibbled on his face, "Are you deliberately right? Did you deliberately make me saliva?"
Suoer naturally couldn't understand her words, learned from her appearance, and took a sip on her face.
"Ouch!" Xu Xinger didn't care that her face was drooling. She pinched Locker's cheek and said, "You little man, you can learn so fast when you see what you see."
Ye looked at Suo'er with loving eyes and said, "Zuo'er must be a smart child in the future and should be promising."
Xu Xinger couldn't help but feel sad when she saw Ye's appearance. Originally, her body was already difficult to conceive, but now with this chest paralysis, she has more and more hope of getting pregnant again. Now she has put her expectations for her son and all her maternal love on Locker.
"Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you today. When we just came back, I was not in a good mood. Please go back early and have a look." Xu Xinger said to Lingzi.
"What's wrong with Dad?" Xu Lingzi asked, "I've been annoyed by them these two days, and your house is still quiet."
"The second aunt went to the master and said she wanted to split up, and my father and aunt also said she wanted to split up. I didn't seem to be in a good mood." Xu Xinger sighed, "When will the milk come back?"
"I'll pick her up with your fourth uncle tomorrow." Xu Lingzi rubbed her forehead, "When my mother comes back, the house will be more and more messy."
"You can't leave your mother at your aunt's house. What kind of temperament is your aunt? Don't you know how she will be angry there these two days!" Ye comforted, "Anyway, it's better to pick it up first. If there is anything, sit down and make it clear."
"It's hard for a clean official to break the housework. It's not so easy to explain." Xu Lingzi muttered that she went out and went back, and soon ran back and said, "Dad is not at home. It's about to have dinner. Where else can people go?"
When Xu Laosan heard this, he left the firewood in his hand and came forward and said, "Maybe I'm tired of going out for a walk? You go home to cook first, and I'll look for it in the village.
After a long circle in the village, I didn't see any figure. Although I knew that Lao Xu would not go to other people's homes when it was almost time for dinner, Xu Laosan still went to several families that usually had a good relationship with Lao Xu, but he didn't see anyone.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, Xu Laosan ran home and didn't see anyone, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
He suddenly remembered that Lao Xu used to sit in front of his old friend's grave and speed up his pace to run towards the mountain. Sure enough, not far from the cemetery, he saw a little light. He walked forward a few more steps and heard Lao Xu's head talking to himself. He couldn't help lighten his pace and push away the bushes in front of him.
Old Xu sat on the stone in front of the grave, with a wine pot and two wine cups in front of him. He was full of two glasses of wine, drank it first, then poured the other glass in front of the tombstone, and said with a smile, "You old man, I'll take a sip first. Are you worried? Every time I drink, I feel anxious. If you can drink less, maybe you can stay with me for a few more years..."
He took another sip of wine and sighed, "Ok, after talking to you so much, you must think I're annoying again. My children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let them go. I can still last a few years with my old bones, and it won't be long before I go down to you for a drink."
Xu Laosan was really uncomfortable when he heard this. He looked at Lao Xu's head through the light of the oil lamp, and then found that he was more old than in his memory. He usually had a straight back. At this time, he had been ricked up, and it seemed that something pressed on his shoulder, making him unable to straighten up. When he was angry, his round eyes also looked turbid and old, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deep and long, all of which were traces left by years... The father who patted the table and stared at the table as soon as he got angry. Now he is really old.
He watched Lao Xu get up, packed up his things and left, but he didn't show up. He didn't go far away until he changed his way down the mountain.
Xu Laosan's foot was faster. Although he took a detour, he still met Lao Xu at the foot of the mountain.
"Dad, what did you do? I've been looking for you for a long time. I've been looking for you all over the village, and I went around the mountain, but I didn't see anyone."
"What can I do? I'm just going up the mountain to disperse. I'm such a big person, and I'm not an ignorant doll. Can I lose it!" As soon as Lao Xu saw his son, he unconsciously straightened his back, walked home with his back, and asked, "How's your daughter-in-law these two days?"
"After taking the medicine for two days, I feel much better, but my spirit is still a little short. I have to rest for a while when I get up. I'm afraid I won't be able to do any heavy work in the future." Xu Laosan told the truth.
"If you let your daughter-in-law relax and raise her, you will be tired and do more. I think your Xing'er is a good girl. Although she is a little fierce, she is bold and can make a breakthrough. Now she has worshipped the third son of the old Wu family as a master. If she can really go to the mountains to collect medicine in the future, she can pay more subsidies to make up for the family."
Old Xu rubbed a ball of tobacco, stuffed it into the cigarette pot, and motioned Xu Laosan to set himself on fire. He continued with two mouthfuls of cigarettes and continued, "I have been thinking about it these two days. No matter how good Xing'er is, she will get married in the future. Even if she can marry a good family, there is no reason why she has always make up for her mother's family. Xing's mother is now Well, it must be difficult to regenerate. It's better for me to make a decision, inherit the lock to your subordinates, and be close to you since childhood. In the future, there will be people who will give you a retirement.
Xu Laosan didn't expect that old Xu's head would think so far for himself. He also felt that what he said was reasonable. He nodded and said, "Dad's words are reasonable. I'll go back to discuss with Xing'er's mother. If she agrees, I will find a good day and ask Li Zheng to bear witness with the old man in the village and do the matter."
He was afraid that Mr. Xu would feel that he could not make the decision on anything and had to go back to discuss with his daughter-in-law, so he said, "Xing'er's mother likes locks very much. I think she must be happy."
"Come on, I gave birth to you. I don't know what your virtue is." Old Xu saw his son's thoughts and took a cigarette bag and pot to point him. "I know that it's a good thing to discuss with my daughter-in-law, and the step-child is no better than anything else. You both have to be happy, otherwise it's not good for the child to have a pimple in your heart."
Xu Laosan laughed twice and grabbed the hair on the back of his head and said, "Dad, if you have anything to do in the future, discuss more with my mother. Don't always be anxious as soon as you say something and pat the table and stare..."
"You little son of a bitch." Old Xu kicked him with one foot, "Are you bold? I'm here to teach you a lesson!"
"Dad, how dare I? That's what you just said!" Xu Laosan was kicked in the buttocks, but he didn't feel much pain. He knew that Lao Xu was not really angry. He quickly hid away and continued, "In the future, we will discuss everything so that we won't quarrel every day and make my mother angry and go back to my mother's house."
"Get out of here! If your mother is half reasonable with your daughter-in-law, our family will not quarrel at any time!" Old Xu, with a calm face, knocked on the cigarette bag pot at the door and turned into the room.
