Dashan Makes a Living 1984 - Chapter 237: 233: Divide children

After eating, Wang Tianxiao struggled for a long time, and asked Xiao Zhu to take the children to her sister-in-law to play.

Then, I tried to tell my mother the bad news.

When Zhang Yufeng heard the news, he seemed to be petrified.

She was sitting cross-legged on the kang, but after hearing the news, she slowly closed her eyes, and then remained motionless.

Wang Tianxiao sat with her.

He knew that his mother was extremely sad, and the whole person fell into a temporary sealed state.

He didn’t know what to comfort.

Perhaps, it is most appropriate not to say anything at this time.

Just like that, I sat from dawn until dark, and then until midnight.

Gradually, he became sleepy.

Unknowingly began to doze off.

Suddenly heard his mother calling him.

“Second child.”

“Ah… Mom, I’m here.” Wang Tianxiao was startled, opened his eyes, and saw that his mother had already opened her eyes.

“Where is the third child now?”

“Oh, I have already contacted the coffin and the shed I built, and I have also notified my elder brother and elder sister to ask Tianyi to contact the people and things related to the funeral, and Tianxin will follow along to help.”

“Oh, that’s good, thank you for your hard work.”

“What’s so hard about it… After all, it’s…”

He felt that the word brother was harsh, so he didn’t say it.

“Oh, the third child’s whole life has been ruined by that daughter-in-law. Before he got married, he was not like this… I was guessing when I would go to report to Lord Yan a few days ago. This one didn’t pay attention. Let me go first.”

“Mother…”

“Don’t worry about mother. Mother can hold on. Mother never told you that before your elder brother, mother actually had a son and a daughter. The older one was older than Fangwa, and the younger one also had Pengwa. so big.

However, my mother had no milk to feed them, and my mother had no food at that time. Where did the milk come from, so they were all starved to death. Mother also thought about saying, I never want to see my children die in front of me in this life, and I will not allow any of them. Unexpectedly, it was still not worthy of God.

Alas, it’s all fate.

Thinking about your father dying early, it’s a relief, leaving you all to mother. A widow, arresting and raising your eight children, mother has really tried her best. God, what do you want my mother to do, what can I do to stop disasters from falling on my children…”

Zhang Yufeng began to confide like a Xianglin wife.

Wang Tianxiao never knew that his mother had given birth to two children.

Maybe if it wasn’t for this reason, mother might never have told them.

It’s like reopening a wound that’s been healed.

Wang Tianxiao didn’t know what to say, so he could only accompany his mother and listen to her tell the old stories.

Before I knew it, it was another whole night.

When the birds in the mountains began to chirp and chirp through the valley, the two woke up from the chat.

Zhang Yufeng looked at the gradually brightening Dongfangyubai outside the window, and finally let out a long sigh: “Take a break, and send me down the mountain after getting up. I didn’t educate my son well before he was alive, and he will be a mother after death. I have to send him well.” One ride.”

Wang Tianxiao nodded.

He didn’t dare to go to sleep directly, but asked Li Yali to come and stay with his mother.

To be honest, I was still worried that my mother would do something stupid.

Maybe.

In everyone’s mind, the one who was most saddened by Wang Tianren’s death must be his mother.

The other brothers are sad, but they don’t have the almost collapsed pain of their mother.

The pain of bereavement, the white-haired person giving away the black-haired person, is a disaster that every mother will never be able to overcome, but the mother has encountered it several times.

.

Wang Tianren’s funeral was not grand.

It’s not that Wang Tianxiao and the others are unwilling to make a fuss, but that the village has lost so many people recently, and the whole village is immersed in great sadness.

Few people still have the energy to handle this kind of thing.

So, almost everyone is simplifying the complexity.

The coffin was left for two days, and the next night was a family sacrifice. After the end, the person was buried in the tomb in the early morning of the night.

All paper-made villains, houses, mounts, etc. will also be burned directly on the grave after burying the person.

After dawn, the guests only need to have a meal before they can leave.

From then on, the memory about a person will gradually fade from people’s consciousness, and only a little impression remains in the hearts of close relatives.

After a while, especially after three years, this person will be completely forgotten from people’s hearts.

After burying the people, the Wang family organized a family meeting in the temporary tent that was built.

Except for Wang Tiancheng and Wang Tianren who were buried in the soil, Wang Xiaomei and Wang Xiaolan also came back.

It was a very well-staffed one.

It’s just that this time everyone didn’t discuss things as lively as before, but everyone had a bit of sadness on their faces.

The children, led by Wang Xiaozhu, went out to play.

Leave all the sorrow to the adults in the tent.

for a long time.

Zhang Yufeng said lightly: “Today everyone arrived very neatly, there are a few things, let’s discuss together, and everyone can come up with an idea. I’m a little tired, and the next step is…”

Everyone looked at Wang Tianzhong.

In this case, since the mother didn’t want to say it, it must be the elder brother who said it.

“…Let Tianxiao talk.”

Everyone was stunned.

Wang Tianzhong was also stunned.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Wang Tianxiao again.

But seeing Wang Tianxiao was also a little surprised, and subconsciously looked at his mother, not knowing why he was suddenly asked to preside over this kind of family meeting.

Big brother is still there.

“As far as you are concerned, Tianxiao, your eldest brother works outside all year round, and he doesn’t care about all kinds of things at home. In the future, you should pay more attention to the things at home and take care of these things.”

“But…”

“Tianxiao, mother is right. I really don’t have much time to keep caring about family affairs. If it weren’t for you this time, I don’t know what happened. The accidents of so many people in the village are examples.”

“But this kind of thing…”

“Second brother, mother and eldest brother have already said it, you just follow up, it’s the same for everyone, anyway, we all listen to you, it’s not like we don’t listen.”

Wang Tianxin couldn’t stand it any longer, so he interrupted directly.

“Well, second brother, it’s up to you.” Wang Tianyi also echoed. Now he has a new understanding of the relationship between the brothers, and realizes that the real pillar of the family is not the eldest brother Wang Tianzhong, but the second brother Wang Tianxiao.

If there is no Wang Tianxiao, not to mention carrying the valuables from home, even if it is a human being, I don’t know if it will be dangerous.

“Yeah, Tianxiao, everyone trusts you, you just come and continue, I’ll do it with you.” Wang Xiaomei has always trusted Wang Tianxiao, and also voted for it.

“Second brother, I also support you.” Wang Xiaolan was no exception.

Wang Tianzhong saw that everyone chose to support Wang Tianxiao at the same time, he felt relieved, but also vaguely disappointed.

After all, he is the boss of the family, and he is the one who justifiably wants to take on this responsibility.

However, now he has virtually lost the trust of his family.

Everyone began to choose to believe in the second brother Wang Tianxiao.

Although his mother and he really believed that Wang Tianxiao could shoulder this responsibility, when everyone agreed to accept Wang Tianxiao very willingly, it was beyond his expectation.

Especially Wang Tianyi, who was already very close to him, didn’t insist on saying he came this time, but followed the words and turned around to support Wang Tianxiao.

Brothers support him because they believe in him.

And many recent events just show that this second brother is no longer the former Wuxia Amon, and he deserves this kind of trust and support.

Wang Tianxiao was a little tired.

He just wanted to listen in silence.

These things at home should be left to Wang Tianyi to handle, he also likes to do this kind of thing.

Wang Tianxiao felt that he didn’t like it.

Although he is talking about business, he will use various methods with others, and will run in with others for the benefit of each other.

But he is not interested in things like family.

He is willing to help everyone live a better life, but he is too lazy to get involved in the right and wrong of each family.

That’s his character.

But looking at today’s situation, if you don’t say anything, it will definitely make everyone unable to step down for a while.

It will also make Wang Tianzhong look more embarrassed.

He had no choice but to hold on and solve a few things temporarily.

These matters were discussed with my mother and elder brother, but there was no good result, and there was something involving everyone, so we had to sit down and talk about it.

“Then… Let me tell you, if there is anything incomplete, you and the eldest brother will just add it.”

Wang Tianxiao turned around and glanced at everyone.

“The matter of the third child has come to an end for the time being. Right and wrong, we will stop talking about it in the future. Death is the most important thing. Once brothers and sisters are together, it is a fate. No matter how far we go when we grow up, whether we are with each other or not I still remember the emotions when I was a child, but after all, our first-milk compatriots have had many happy days…”

Speaking of this, he thought of some things in his childhood again before his eyes, and felt a little melancholy in his heart. Looking at other brothers and sisters, everyone’s eyes were also gloomy.

Wang Xiaomei lowered her head slightly and sobbed, two lines of tears welled up in her eyes.

“…So, the old third person is gone, but we still have to help him figure out a way for him to stay. Now it seems that there are mainly two points… oh, in fact, it can be regarded as one point, that is, his two child, what should I do?”

Seeing that everyone was silent, he went on to say: “Let’s talk about the easy things first, Hongwei. Hongwei’s health is not very good. Although he had an operation last time, he recovered temporarily, but the doctor said that his illness is like a disease. An untimely bomb, buried in the brain, if one is not careful, the bomb may explode at any time…”

“Ah, isn’t Hongwei completely cured of his illness?”

Wei Shufen asked suddenly.

Wang Tianxiao glanced at his sister-in-law. He knew what she meant, but he didn’t reveal it.

“If there is no problem with this kind of disease, it may never recur in the rest of my life… In fact, the most dangerous thing is when I was a child. When I was a little older, it would be much safer. Now that Hongwei has no father, mother means that we Brothers find someone to adopt and let the children live with them, do you have any opinions?”

When Wang Tianxiao said this, everyone looked at Wang Tianzhong.

Because of the mention of adoption, it must depend on the possibility of Wang Tianzhong.

For the rest, Wang Tianyi is still young and already has a son Tian’er, Wang Tianxiao has a son and a daughter, Wang Xiaomei has three daughters, Wang Xiaolan and Wang Xiaozhu, and Wang Tianxin are single, so it is impossible to adopt such a big child .

“I…”

“We’re a little out of place…”

Wang Tianzhong was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wei Shufen.

“…Our family is not suitable. We have already adopted my natal brother’s son Yangyang. There is really no way to adopt another son. I’ll see and think of a way.”

Everyone was stunned.

In my memory, Wei Shufen had been talking about adopting a nephew, but she didn’t want to after thinking about it.

Oh, after thinking about it, I understand everything.

Isn’t the child sick? Thinking about a sick child will definitely be troublesome in the future. If something goes wrong, it will be a waste of support.

Wei Shufen has always been a shrewd and calculating person.

Her choice is in line with her usual style, and it is not a surprise.

“Yangyang is not surnamed Wang after all…”

“What’s the matter if your surname is not Wang? Your nephew is a human being, but my nephew is not a human being. Seeing what your old Wang said, I don’t think others are laughing at me.”

“you…”

Wang Tianzhong was robbed in front of his mother and brothers and sisters, and he was a little embarrassed.

“That’s it. It’s not convenient for our family to adopt. See if there is any other way.” Wei Shufen interrupted Wang Tianxiao’s words, and made a final conclusion firmly, “It’s a big deal, find someone to raise him, a big boy still worries about no one will take care of him.” .”

Wei Shufen’s direct words instantly tore through the original tranquility.

Everyone was immersed in the sadness of Wang Tianren’s death, but now they have to be brought into this new matter.

“Sister-in-law, didn’t you and my brother always want to have a child? Hongwei is still young and ignorant. If he raised him from childhood, he must have you in his heart. Yangyang can continue to be in your house. With your With family conditions, raising two children is nothing.”

Wang Xiaomei persuaded softly.

Her husband is temporarily visiting other places, so this time she came back with Wang Xiaolan, and the children did not bring them.

Wei Shufen should show some face to Wang Xiaomei.

She has always been a powerful person, watching people serve food, and knows that although Wang Xiaomei’s husband is not a big leader, but after all, he works in the Provincial Food Department and is also a deputy director-level cadre. Maybe there will be better housing development in the future.

This old Wang of their family happened to be a strong alliance.

“Xiaomei, since it’s time to talk about the matter, let me tell the truth in front of my mother. In fact… your eldest brother and I are still trying to find a way to have a child of our own.”

Speaking of which, she still looked a little shy.

After all, it is a rather embarrassing thing to say in person, so many people listen.

Everyone saw her expression and understood that she was sincere.

In this way, it is not unreasonable for her not to adopt. If she adopts, she already has two children, and if she has another son, it will be too many.

“More importantly… Now that the policy is so tight, we don’t have any quota, right?”

Wei Shufen’s addition made everyone completely unable to speak.

The past two years have been a time when the population policy has been tense, and the number of quotas is very tight, especially for public officials, who must not step on the line.

Wang Tianxiao has a deep understanding of this point.

In his previous life, he gave birth to Wang Peng, and was fined 300 yuan at one time, and the rest was fined 10% every month, which lasted for ten years.

At the beginning, his salary was already pitifully low, especially after his leg injury and sick leave, he only had a subsidy of 80 yuan per month, and he had to be fined another 10%, which shows the misery at that time.

For this reason, in his previous life, he once blamed his son Wang Peng for this difficulty, and his relationship with his son was not very good.

Later, the days got a little better, and then slowly improved.

People are poor and short-sighted, and many things are really caused by poverty.

Things that can be solved with a little money, in the eyes of the poor, are like a mountain that will never turn over.

Or the sky that cannot be supported by strenuous efforts.

Wang Tianxiao heard what his sister-in-law said, and looked at Wang Tianzhong again, and found that Wang Tianzhong kept his head down and remained silent, so he knew that this was also his idea.

Maybe not totally agree, but not disagree either.

Since this is the case, Hongwei will definitely not be well taken care of in their home.

With a mean temper like Wei Shufen, it’s okay to not have a biological child now, but once the biological child comes out, she will definitely not be nice to the adopted child again.

This has been verified in previous lives.

After her biological son was born, she has been thinking about sending the original child, her natal nephew, back.

After failing to send it successfully, I have been treating people badly.

As a result, that child Yangyang had a lot of opinions on Wei Shufen, and he even developed hatred in his heart.

Unexpectedly, his own child drowned and died later, and went back to find Yangyang, but at that time Yangyang had already turned into a white-eyed wolf…

Not only did he treat her badly, but he also invaded the house that Wang Tianzhong left her.

Really are…

Wang Tianxiao drew a conclusion from these people, people should still do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and don’t do those things that are unconscionable.

This is not a superstition, but somewhere in the dark, there is always a way of heaven looking down on the world.

If you violate the principles of being a human being too much, you will inevitably suffer backlash.

He retracted his gaze, looked at the other brothers again, and sighed faintly.

“So, everyone has no intention of adopting Hongwei?”

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, the young ones were very helpless, they were all children themselves, how could they adopt other people’s children?

Just as Wang Tianxiao was thinking that it would not work, he should put the child with him.

Anyway, now that I am strong, raising a child is not a burden, so let Fangwa and the others play together and be each other’s companions.

Wang Xiaolan suddenly said: “Second brother, if you can’t do it, Hongwei, follow me.”

“ah?!”

Everyone looked at Xiaolan together.

Zhang Yufeng shouted, “What are you talking about, you are still a big girl, how can you bring up a child, how will you marry when the time comes, what are you talking about, you child!”

Wang Tianxiao also shook his head: “Mother is right, Xiaolan, you will marry someone in the future, it is definitely not good to have a child, even if it is a nephew, but how many men are willing to accept such a woman, no, you can’t bring of.”

“What are you afraid of? At worst, I won’t get married,” Wang Xiaolan said disapprovingly. “Who said that people must get married? Could it be that we women can’t live without men? Besides, if we all look like the third brother and the third sister-in-law, we can’t get married.” It’s better not to end.”

“Xiao Lan, stop.”

Wang Tianxiao signaled his sister to stop talking. Saying such things on such an occasion would undoubtedly sprinkle salt on everyone’s hearts and stab a knife in their wounds.

“Second brother, but…”

“Son, just leave it with me, and you don’t need to adopt it. I will take care of it. The child is still the child of the third child, but I will be responsible for his daily life, including future expenses and so on. ”

Wang Tianxiao looked at his wife beside him when he said this.

Li Yali knew what her husband meant, and nodded lightly, “Mother, elder brother, elder sister, brothers and sisters, just follow Tianxiao’s words. Raising a child is not easy, and everyone is not living well now, so extra sheets are made out of thin air. The mouth that eats will add another burden. Our family’s life is better now, so let the children stay in our family.

Don’t worry, Tianxiao and I will take good care of Hongwei. If his illness needs treatment, we will find a way. He has to go to school, and we will continue to pay for it. The incense is passed on. ”

Li Yali’s tone was very gentle. After she finished speaking, she put her hand gently on the back of her husband’s hand and nodded to him.

means, no matter what you say, I will support you.

I know it’s not easy for you, who told us to be a family.

I don’t support you, who supports you.

In this life, destiny binds us together, that is our fate.

No matter what others are like, you will always be the best man in my heart, a good man I can trust for the rest of my life.

Although Li Yali’s voice is gentle, everyone’s ears are filled with thunder when she speaks.

Everyone looked at her in shock but understanding.

Both lamented how responsible she is for her nephew as an aunt, but also understandable. From the recent events, everyone gradually understands that Li Yali is not the one who sows right and wrong in the mouths of the third son and his wife.

On the contrary, she is really a kind-hearted, gentle, good woman.

and the second brother’s character are very similar.

It can be said that it is completely consistent.

The two of them, whether it is life, relationship, or responsibility, are very enviable.

“Let’s decide this matter like this.” Wang Tianxiao made a conclusion, and when he said these words, he was looking at his mother.

Since the eldest brother chooses to give up the chance of adopting this child, it has nothing to do with him.

Be it selfish or embarrassing.

Everyone has their own difficulties, and he cannot morally kidnap others and force others to be like him.

Wang Tianxiao has always felt that morality should be demanded of himself, not others. He can only be himself, and cannot demand others to be like him.

“well.”

Zhang Yufeng sighed faintly.

She originally thought that the best ending for this matter was to be adopted by the boss.

He happened to have no children from the Wang family.

The customs here also have the tradition of adopting nephews, everything is a matter of course.

Unexpectedly, the eldest couple refused.

Don’t listen to the hype they said, it’s not a reason, the kid Hongwei is sick.

They are unwilling to bear the danger that may occur in the future, so they don’t want to have children.

Who doesn’t understand.
