C7 Mom and Dad

"Why are you back so late? The food is cold. I'll go heat it up. " Mother Yuan Li saw Xiao Sa came back, she picked up the cold dishes on the table and put them back in the pot.

His father, the Xiao family, was sitting at the dining table smoking a pipe. Hearing Xiao Sa call for him, he coughed and said, "Today is your monthly school exam, right?"

Xiao Sa nodded in agreement.

The Xiao family looked serious. "How did you do?"

Xiao Sa knew that his dad was worried, last semester's exam results made the Xiao family sad and angry. He ruthlessly beat Xiao Sa up, and Xiao Sa never saw his smile again.

The Xiao family and the family were both craftsmen, and they were both craftsmen of the mud brick house. Their craftsmanship was very good and they had brought along many disciples, but now that every household had built red brick houses and no longer had red brick houses, their craftsmanship was very difficult to put to use. The Xiao family and Xiao Sa's mother, Yuan Li, had been in the commune's literary and arts promotion team when they were young. She was an expert at pulling Erhu and was famous throughout the entire village. Xiao Sa's mother, Yuan Li, was enchanted by his zither music before marrying him. Yuan Li was a well-known beauty at that time, and a lady from a wealthy family. She was the one who broke the threshold of marriage in eight miles of the village, but who knew that she would end up marrying the poor, unassuming Xiao family kid from three brick houses.

"Not bad." Xiao Sa did not dare to be modest, he was really afraid that his dad would be hurt.

"What do you mean okay?" Who knew that the Xiao family would misunderstand his intentions? They thought that Xiao Sa was trying to make things difficult for them, so his tone became even more severe. The creed of his life was that everything was inferior, only having the ability to read books, being loyal to his family for a long time, and being a successor to his poems and books. Xiao Sa had always had the best academic performance from the elementary school to the first year of high school. That was his Xiao family's greatest pride and pride. No matter where he went, he would always keep his head up, his waist straight, and his words rough. However, after Xiao Sa entered the second year of high school, his grades suddenly plummeted, especially for the second year of high school exam. Especially for the second year of high school exam, it turned out to be the last place in the year.

Seeing that, Xiao Sa quickly said, "I think he'll be able to get in the top few of the year."

The Xiao family's elder choked on his cigarette and coughed a few times. Then, he looked at Xiao Sa with his round eyes, "Really?"

Xiao Sa's nose twitched and he said very seriously: "The Monthly Test's results notice and the Monthly Test's results must be signed by the parents. You'll see it when the results are out."

The Xiao family finally believed him. They slapped their thighs and said, "Alright, let's start the meal." His complexion looked good.

At this moment, Yuan Li had already heated up the dishes and brought them to the stove room for dinner. She had heard the father and son conversation and was very happy. She scooped a cup of wine from the jar behind the door and gave her man a glass, saying, "If you're happy, then drink a cup. You've been bored for a long time!"

These words were considerate! The Xiao family's old patriarch chuckled as he glanced at his woman, feeling very proud of himself. He even gave birth to a son and a daughter. With both of their children, he was really satisfied with the Xiao family, so he listened to his wife and pampered her from time to time. From the moment they got married until now, he had never dared to speak rudely to his wife.

The Xiao family took a sip of wine from their wine cup and asked Xiao Sa, "Have a drink?"

"Alright." Xiao Sa stood up and took a sip from his dad's glass. The Valley Wine was burning his throat, so Xiao Sa choked and his face turned red.

Yuan Li's heart ached. She hurriedly stood up to massage her son's back, staring at the Xiao family and scolding, "What nonsense again!"

However, Xiao family's He said, "Who's messing around? Men always have to learn to drink. If you don't drink, can you call a man? "

Yuan Li scoffed, "What kind of man is an alcoholic? He knew how to read, he knew how to earn money, and he knew how to support his family. That was why he was called a man. If I can save him from danger and help him, he would be a man who can support both heaven and earth! "

His mother's words were so impassioned that Xiao Sa couldn't help but cheer in his heart.

"Hehe, your mom is right. Listen to her." Xiao family and Xiao Hei took back the wine cup from Xiao Sa's hand and drank a mouthful. Then, they took a deep breath and exhaled, feeling extremely intoxicated.

The whole family laughed happily. Yuan Li protested coquettishly, "Moral!"

After dinner, Xiao Sa got up and poured a cup of tea for his parents to serve. Xiao Ling helped Yuan Li clean up the dishes, wiped the table, and prepared to wash the dishes, but was pushed away by Yuan Li.

Xiao Ling was in her third year of high school. She had done well in her studies, and her looks were inherited from Yuan Li. She was extremely pretty and had a small age, but wherever she went, she always had a 100% chance of turning back.

At this moment, Wu Heping came in. He greeted the Xiao Family, Yuan Li, and Xiao Sa then poured a cup of tea for Wu Heping before leading him into his room.

There were three brick houses, one for his parents, one for Xiao Sa and his sister Xiao Ling, and one for the stove. After the four brothers split up, the Xiao family built three low thatched brick houses behind their three rooms, one for firewood, one for pigs, and one for toilets.

There were two beds in Xiao Sa's room. The one in the room belonged to his sister, Xiao Ling. It was separated by a cloth curtain. Xiao Sa slept in the bed outside. At this moment, he was sitting at the head of his bed with Wu Heping, talking about something.

The two of them chatted for almost an hour. Xiao Ling was very obedient and did not come in to disturb them. Instead, she continued to diligently do her homework at the dining table.

When Wu Heping came out, he found a stool and sat at the opposite side of the Xiao family. He said, "Uncle He and I want to discuss something with you."

The Xiao family's old patriarch leisurely drank his tea as he watched his daughter finish her homework. He casually replied, "There's no need to be polite. Go ahead."

Wu Heping said, "I want to buy the bamboo in your family's mountain. I only cut bamboo for three years or more."

Wu Heping drove a tractor and used to drag sand and bamboo to sell. The Xiao family didn't find it strange and only asked about the price.

Wu Heping said, "Twenty dollars for a tractor."

The Xiao family immediately agreed, because the village engineering team only received fifteen dollars for the Nan Bamboo. Nowadays, twenty dollars was not a small amount. A teacher who had just joined the job could only earn twenty-three and a half dollars a month.

Xiao family and Yuan Li asked, "Do you want it?"

Yuan Li said, "This is a matter between men. You can make the decision, but I have no objections."

The Xiao family was at peace with themselves. "Alright then, I'll chop it tomorrow. You can drag it out."

Wu Heping: "Can we just wait for the bamboo to finish and give it a try?"

Xiao family said, "What's wrong with that? "Nonsense!"

"Then, thank you, my family's uncle!" You should rest early. I'll be going, I'll come over tomorrow to drag the Nan Bamboo. " Wu Heping stood up and said goodbye.

After Wu Heping left the room, Yuan Li asked Xiao Sa, "How many days leave?"

Xiao Sa answered, "I have to go back to school tomorrow morning. I'm in my third year and I need supplementary lessons."

Yuan Li went into her room without saying a word. After some rustling, she came out with a stack of money in her hand and handed it to Xiao Sa. "Collect it well, these are your meals, lodging fees and pocket money for next month. Remember to pay the meal and lodging fees as soon as you arrive at school, lest you lose them."

Xiao Sa didn't look at the money, but at his mom's hands. He almost burst into tears. This hand was now full of calluses and chapped skin. It was extremely rough, but it had once been so tender and smooth!
