Good Dad System

The winter in Province C is always very cold, and the temperature drifts around zero. However, due to the geographical location and conditions, in the boundary of Heping Township, there has always been no heating or kang installed. Say no It sounds good. It all depends on wearing more clothes and covering more quilts for winter, and then huddled in bed for the winter, or simply relying on shaking and self-heating, in short, year after year.

But no matter how cold it is, when the Spring Festival arrives, the surrounding landscape is completely different.

In Heping Township, the Spring Festival has always been the No. 1 event. Whether it is a job outside the country, or a successful move away, almost everyone has to come back when this season comes. It has been prepared, and even the poorest people can smell the fire in the kitchen from far away.

Accompanied by the louder cry of the little boy whose head hurts, someone shouted, "Where is that **** girl Xiaoping?"

The kitchen is generally built near the yard, with a piece of iron on the top to keep out the rain and snow, and the bottom is black and flat. It is briquettes, and there is a black iron fork next to it. It is used to fork the briquettes into the road. The fire has been lit. There is full of oil, and there are all kinds of seasoned meat and vegetables. , tofu, ribs, dried fish, everything, put it down, the yellow oil is tumbling with foam, the aroma and heat are tingling with the nose, and the person who wants to cook is sweating.

At this moment, the one holding the long chopsticks in one hand and the mesh colander in the other is Wu Guizhi, the "leader" of Pei's family. She was wearing a padded jacket, her face was red with smoke, and her forehead was covered with layers of sweat. Face shouted impatiently into the room.

Near the house, there is another woman who looks younger, but doesn't like to laugh. When her face is sullen, she wants people to see a bit of bitterness. She is sitting on the small bench, bent over, leaning over to him. Down, facing a washbasin that is bigger than a child, there are various vegetables at the bottom, some radishes and cucumbers, they have been washed, just peeled, and they are taking silk. She is the daughter-in-law of Wu Guizhi in front. Tang Zhaodi became anxious when she heard her mother-in-law shout.

"I told her just now that I want her to watch her brother in the house!" Tang Zhaodi was wearing an apron. She hurriedly put down her things, smeared water on the apron, and hurried into the house, walking back He shouted, "Xiaoping, you bastard! You don't even know how to look at your brother!"

Wu Guizhi watched this scene, rolled her eyes, and spat fiercely in her heart. It was because this daughter-in-law was not good, and she gave birth to a granddaughter, which was useless! He didn't even know how to take care of his younger brother Gu, in case their family Zihao cried so badly, that she wouldn't rip off her skin! But since the daughter-in-law went in, she didn't get involved any more. For the new year, you have to prepare these offerings first, otherwise it would be bad to offend the Lord of Heaven.

"Mom, I'm here!" Pei Xiaoping is less than six years old this year. I don't know if she was missing something when she was born, or because she was malnourished in the later stage. When she looked at people, she was watery and pitiful. At this moment, she was standing by the table with her feet thinking, facing the water on the table. When she saw her mother entering the room, she shivered in horror.

"What's the use of being here? You don't even know what to do, right?" The first thing Tang Zhaodi did when she entered the room was to hug her son, who was lying on the bed, crying out of breath. In her arms, she gently shook the child as she walked, her movements were extraordinarily gentle, but when she faced her daughter, she immediately went over to give her a stern face.

During the Chinese New Year, she and her mother-in-law were so busy that they could barely touch the ground. They really had no time to take care of their son. She and Xiaoping ordered them over and over again, but the girl was still slipping away. With this little effort, Zihao cried. That's it!

Pei Xiaoping took the slap, she didn't dare to dodge, otherwise her mother would be angry and she would definitely continue to get angry, she forced a pleasing smile, and explained to her mother: "Mom, my brother is crying, I watched, The diaper wasn't wet, and I kept coaxing him. I wanted to say that he was hungry, so I went to the side to make him some milk powder..."

She pointed to the table, where there was a tin of milk powder, which was a fashion item. After having a younger brother, Dad spent a lot of money to buy it from a friend from other places. There is something that makes a child wiser after eating it.

"Damn, we Zihao don't cry or cry." How Tang Zhaodi coaxed her son to cry, only then did she accept her daughter's statement. She is an adult, so she doesn't have to take care of it like a daughter. She quickly soaked some milk powder, and she made milk powder. The method was taught by my husband's friend. When it was almost done, he sat on the edge of the bed and slowly fed it with a small spoon. Pei Zihao also stopped crying now. He put his fist on his chest and shrank tightly. There were still tears in the corners of his eyes, but the rain had passed.

Pei Xiaoping kept standing beside her, obediently not daring to make a sound, for fear of arguing with her younger brother, with her hands behind her back, her head lowered, and she didn't move.

Tang Zhaodi couldn't hold back, and continued: "Xiaoping, think about it, how busy your grandma and I are during the Chinese New Year, how can we stay in the house all the time, as your sister, you have to take responsibility, Zihao is ours. The only Miao Miao in the old Pei family, this must not happen!" She looked at her son, her eyes turned into a ball of autumn water, and she was extraordinarily gentle. In order to give birth to this child, she was considered a serious sin!

"I know." She replied, although she still had a childish face, she had some adult perseverance early on.

"Then I'll continue to work with your grandma." Tang Zhaodi saw her son sleeping, holding the back of her neck, placed Pei Zihao on the bed with extreme care, got up, and planned to leave. Before leaving, she nodded her daughter's head: "Xiaoping, your younger brother will be your support in the future, do you know that?"

"...I know." She nodded obediently without refuting. After her mother disappeared, she quietly lay on the bed and looked at her younger brother. It has only been seven months since he was born, and his hair Not much, it's very soft, when lying there, it's so cute that people can't take their eyes off, but when it gets noisy, people want to cover their ears.

Whenever she stays at home, she has to listen to the teaching that her brother is a treasure many times. After a long time, she will also engrave these words in her heart.

Unable to hold back, Pei Xiaoping stretched out her hand and shoved her little finger into Pei Zihao's fist. A child of this age likes to hold something. He immediately reacted, clenched his sister's finger, and continued to sleep soundly. , while breathing, also blowing bubbles.

The younger brother is special, and Pei Xiaoping recited it again in her heart. He is different from her. He is the one with the handle, the root of the old Pei family, and their family will rely on in the future.

The front house and the backyard are very close, and after a while, Tang Zhaodi returned to the kitchen, wearing an apron and apologizing to her mother-in-law: "Mom, Xiaoping didn't run away just now, it was Zihao who was hungry, and she wanted to make him some milk powder. I drank it, but I didn't care about it, now it's coaxed, don't worry, I'm not here just now, I want you to work hard alone!" She immediately sat down and continued to work, her face full of lazy blushes .

Wu Guizhi's ears are very sharp, and when she heard her daughter-in-law's words, she felt a little relieved, she had already blown up a whole drawer of things, and now a second layer has been stacked on top: "That's good, I'm afraid Zihao will cry. !" All she was worried about just now were her own precious grandsons.

"I want Mom to worry."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." This time, Wu Guizhi no longer looked anxious and angry, but became the most peaceful old lady in the world. She squinted and smiled, "Zhao Di, you have worked hard this year. , you can eat more chicken soup later, you are the number one hero of our old Pei family!"

Tang Zhaodi was flattered: "Mom, you drink more, you nourish your body, and Naochun and I are both happy." She quickly rejected.

Wu Guizhi is very tough: "If you tell me to drink, just drink it!"

"Hey, good." Her heart was as sweet as honey. After Pei Zihao was born, she was able to hold her head high and live like a person in the whole family. Although her mother-in-law didn't treat her too badly in the past, she always When she saw someone else's family had a son, her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not her nose. She was full of anger, and she came back many times to make a few sarcastic sentences. Although she had lived a hard life in the past year and a half, she finally got the best of it.

All of this is thanks to Zihao!

"By the way, when will Nao Chun come back?" Wu Guizhi frowned and asked again, now that she has Jin Sun, everything will be fine, but the only thing that upsets her is the son who quit his job, if not for the sake of Xiaoping, that dead girl, how could it be like this?

Speaking of this, Tang Zhaodi was also worried. She sighed in her heart and did not dare to show it on her face. She just smiled and said, "I'll be back in two days!" How dare she tell her mother-in-law that her husband has been in the past few months. , I didn't send money to my family. If I hadn't had some savings in the past, I'm afraid my family would have been scheming!

In this day of tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, I wonder if it will come to an end! In her heart, she was so worried!

...

"Naochun, are you back?" It was clear that the weather was too cold, but the chess-playing place at the entrance of the village was still "opening" as always. Many elders squatted and stood there, pointing out the country, like a One is like a chess god, and the one who really holds the chess piece is silent, and if he doesn't take a step, he has to meditate for a long time, just like a game of national players.

"I'm back, I'm back!" Pei Naochun held it in a big bag, wearing a thick padded jacket, at first glance, he felt warm.

The second uncle of the Pei family couldn't get in to play chess inside. He was smoking a cigarette outside. This cigarette was also homemade. He bought shredded tobacco that didn't cost much per pound, and then rolled it up and sealed it with paper, and it became a cigarette. , it is smoky when it burns, very imposing, in the winter, smoke lingers around the nose and mouth: "Nao Chun, you are very promising, look at your new clothes, you can see that it is good!"

His aesthetic taste is not high, but he can see the old and the new. This one worn by Pei Naochun is better than the one worn by his third kid!

"The defective products in the factory are bought at the internal price, and they are not expensive." Pei Naochun turned back and pulled the spot on the back of the pocket. There was a line that went crooked, and it could be seen that it had been re-sewn.

The second uncle's words attracted the attention of many people, and everyone wanted to bury their heads in and enjoy watching, and when they noticed the flaws that were nothing at all, they were all shocked: "The city people are so particular about this? Ding Dian, what's wrong?"

"These clothes are sold to foreigners. People are very particular about them. If they are not good, they will be returned, so they will be sold internally at a discount." Pei Naochun spoke slowly and slowly, with a warm smile.

The second uncle moved his ears and was very smart: "Can you still buy it? Our third boy is going to meet someone! If it's not expensive, I'll buy one for him, is it a hit?"

Pei Naochun was ready, he pointed to the package at the back: "I bought two! I'll find you later, I haven't been home for a long time, I have to go back and have a look!"

The second uncle's wishes come true, not to mention how beautiful, for fear that others will be strong against him, he immediately takes over the conversation: "You have to go back, hurry up, go home! Your daughter-in-law gave you a fat boy, this is the father Yes, it's time to see more!" He knew everything about what happened in the village, and the Pei family was so noisy, not just to get a kid, it's okay, it's absolutely right to support this.

"Okay, then I'll go first, you guys continue to play." Pei Naochun waved his hand, continued to carry his bag, and walked home step by step.

The few people left behind, many of them are no longer interested in chess, they look at each other, and the shrill voices are heard from time to time, and some voices are full of envy: "Look at what a good life in Nao Chun, son. There, it looks good to go to work."

"What the hell!" Someone snorted coldly, "If it wasn't for luck, how could I have a son? His wife, I don't know how much he drank! Besides, have you ever heard of slapping a swollen face and making a fat man? Okay, can you have the original factory?"

"That's right. No matter how good the outside world is, it can't compare to his machinery factory! But there's no way to do it. Who made them suffer? The husband has a daughter."

"Yeah, by the way, your daughter-in-law heard about it? I heard that there is a hospital in the city now, and you can pay for it." Someone whispered something else and lowered his voice, "Remember to see it then. one look."

"You give me an introduction, I can't find anyone I know, even with a red envelope."

Pei Naochun couldn't hear what you said on the other end. He was used to work, with a strong stature. He took so many things and didn't have to change his hands to pant. He turned a few corners and was very When he was about to get to the door of his house, he went in and shouted at the top of his voice: "Mom, Zhaodi, Xiaoping, I'm back!" After unloading his things, he soon ushered in his own army of Women's Army.

Wu Guizhi was in the lead. She ran very fast and came to her son with a big smile and the lines around her eyes were crowded together: "Son, you're finally back, I'm worried that you won't be back in time for the Chinese New Year!" She She stretched out her hand and helped to pat the ashes on her son's clothes. There is no paved road in the village. When the wind blows, it is called a rush of sand. Basically, after walking around, there will be more or less sand on her body. She usually wears old clothes. I don't care about the clothes, but the outfit my son is wearing today is brand new at first glance, so she can't help feeling distressed.

"Nao Chun, you're home." Tang Zhaodi was not shy when she saw her husband. She wanted to turn into the house and carry her son out. As soon as she turned around, she saw her daughter, Pei Xiaoping was using her twig like a twig. Holding her brother's hand, holding her breath step by step, she is very careful, anyone can see how careful she is, if she really falls, maybe she falls into an accident, and she won't let her brother fall.

Tang Zhaodi didn't take it seriously. She hurriedly took her son over and leaned in front of her husband with a smile: "Naochun, look at our Zihao, the longer these eyes and this mouth are, the more they resemble you!"

"That's right, I'm so confused, I forgot all about it, look at Zihao." Wu Guizhi quickly gave way, got close to his daughter-in-law, smiled, and stretched out his hand to tease Jin Sun who had just woken up, " Zihao, do you miss your father too? Look, he laughed, and he laughed when he heard his father!"

Pei Zihao is quite cooperative, showing a toothless smile, which is very cute. Of course, it is a matter of opinion whether he recognizes his father or not, but his smile makes both women excited.

Pei Naochun smiled and lowered her head, but out of the corner of the eye looked into the distance. Pei Xiaoping, who was left behind, was quietly looking at this side. She raised her head quite high, and her eyes were full of envy, but she didn't dare to take a single step. near.

This made Pei Naochun remember immediately, in his memory, the "duckweed".

...

The familiar dark space is still the familiar formula. As soon as Pei Naochun entered, what he saw was a middle-aged man squatting there. If he was middle-aged, he looked a little too old. He's an old man, but it's a little bit worse. He squatted there, his back was hunched, his hair was silver and black, his skin was yellow and black, and his face and hands were all wrinkled. Must be a hard worker.

When he saw Pei Naochun appearing, he seemed embarrassed, he smiled embarrassingly, and subconsciously took out his clothes, but when he couldn't find the cigarette and lighter, his eyes were a little dazed, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Excuse me, do you need any help?" Pei Naochun went straight in without any hesitation.

"Yes." He spoke first, and the other party could continue. He could faintly see his hands shaking, but he didn't look up, just said in a low voice, "Can you help my daughter?" The space was empty It was empty, only his voice was very clear. He used his simple and simple language to slowly tell the stories of his life.

The world that Pei Naochun will enter this time is based on a semi-autobiographical novel called "Duckweed", which tells the short and painful life of a country girl.

And this country girl is the original daughter, Pei Xiaoping.

Province C is a well-known province in China, with a large area and a large population, so there is also a relatively large gap between the rich and the poor. Heping Township is located in the northern part of Province C. The well-known professional households drag down the province's GDP. Heping Township and many mountain villages have the same conditions. There are contiguous mountainous areas, and there are many distances between villages. It is different from those urban villages, even if In the 1990s, they still lived their lives according to their own traditions. In a sense, this place maintained the clan, genealogy, and traditional culture inherited from domestic traditions, but in another sense, it was also feudal. , backwardness, superstition and other characteristics.

The Pei family is such an ordinary family rooted in Heping Township, and it is not much different from the surrounding families.

Yuan Shi's father owned land in the village and lived by farming. Due to his hard-working personality, healthy body, and married Wu Guizhi, who knew how to run the house, he quickly saved a family business and a house where his family lived. He saved every brick and tile. After having a son, he had a long-term vision and persuaded Yuan Shi, who was still talented in reading, to study in the county town. , After graduating from secondary school, relying on the relationship of the villagers, he successfully went to work in the largest machinery factory in the county.

Although they all talk about reform and opening up, in the eyes of the villagers, it is still such a stable job, and it is even more greedy. The machinery factory is like a small "society". Uniforms, festive gifts during New Year's and festivals, dormitories for staff, and some factories, kindergartens and elementary schools jointly built with the surrounding factories. Okay.

Therefore, he has the original body of the weaving in the machinery factory, and he immediately became the "sweet pastry" in other people's mouths. Every time he goes home, he can meet many matchmakers who come to the door and are eager to introduce him to the object. The original body is still a good one. Appearanceists, pick and choose, they choose Tang Zhaodi.

Tang Zhaodi and his family's only seedlings are not many. The family has a large population. There are four sisters in total. They are born to the fifth child before they have a younger brother. Because the whole family is close to the younger brother, the four daughters basically go to the fourth grade of primary school. In the fifth grade, he dropped out of school and went home, but the Tang family's genes are good, and the daughters in the family compete one by one. Although the dowry is very high, they still don't give a dowry, but they still get married one after another. It was Tang Zhaodi's turn. There were three good-quality brother-in-laws, which also became his plus points. The Pei family thought about it for a while, and still paid for the original body to marry her back home.

As soon as she got married, Tang Zhaodi went to the machinery factory with her husband, but she was not an employee of the factory, and could only do odd jobs in the canteen. Tang Zhaodi became pregnant and gave birth to her daughter Pei Xiaoping at full term.

When her daughter was born, her in-laws, who had been very good to her, turned ugly. The village has always had a "patriarchal over women" atmosphere. It is difficult to write a genealogy or not to write a female, and it is taboo for an ancestor's daughter to even walk in through the side gate. If there is no son, there will be no direct lineage who can engrave the name on the tombstone after death... Under various rules, the customs here have gradually developed. No matter how successful a person is, if there is no male in the family, he will also became a dead end.

This also made Tang Zhaodi anxious, but some things became more and more urgent. Seeing that Pei Xiaoping was getting older every day, she couldn't get pregnant. The house leaked every night when it rained, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the city. What country? They started to engage in family planning, and if they are like this, those whose household registration is already in the city can't enjoy the rules of having a second child in the countryside - there are even people in the next county town who say that even in the countryside, people who have a second child will be banned If they were caught, it would cost them their lives. Worryingly, the couple tossed and turned like frying fish. They couldn't sleep every night. The more troubled you are, what can you say? Just when the Family Planning Office is shouting about policies everywhere, Tang Zhaodi is pregnant!

The chairman of the women's federation in the machinery factory has made three orders and five applications. If anyone can't control their stomachs, they may lose their jobs. The two ends of the scale suddenly put their son and work. Wu Guizhi secretly asked Daxian, who immediately gave the result. , It must be a son, yes, this time the choice is even more difficult, son or job, which one do you want to choose?

The original body was so tangled that he got angry every day. It should be good news, but he was even more worried. As a result, two days later, his father fell ill. He worked too hard in his early years and did not know how to take care of his body. On the bed, he didn't say a word, but his family was very clear.

Yes, the choice has been made, the original body decided to resign, and put his wife back in Heping Township, and was taken by his mother to hide with relatives in Houshan, while he went out and started a part-time job trip. After giving birth to his son Pei Zihao, not long after the child was full moon, the original father died suddenly with a smile. This required Pei Zihao's status to rise to another level in this family, and the story is starting from here.

For Pei Xiaoping, childhood memories are gray and not painful, but in a long time, there seems to be no joy.

She lived with her grandparents at a very young age. In the first one or two years, her grandparents treated her very well, but when she started to have memories, everyone's attitude changed. Grandpa and grandma often touched her head and sighed. It's good that Ping is a boy, and she always treats her cold and hot. At a young age, she has already learned to look at people.

Then one day, my younger brother was born and my grandfather passed away, and everything changed completely.

She used to be in the city, and her mother, who only came back once a month or two, lived at home for a long time. She had a grandmother and a mother by her side, but it seemed that she could hardly get any love. They had to tell her over and over again every day— You have to treat your brother well. When he grows up, he will be your support and your god. Without your brother, the old Pei family will be wiped out! She didn't know much, and gradually took this into her heart. Since both mother and grandma said so, maybe all of this is right.

Yuanshen quit his job and went to work in the south, where the degree of openness is very open, and factories are everywhere, but there are also many people who take the name of fellow countrymen and make money. He used to work in a machinery factory, and all the skills he learned were It was those workshop jobs. To put it bluntly, he had no advantage at all compared to other workers except for literacy, so he went back and forth in several factories and couldn't save a lot of money. In the first year, he went back and forth. He borrowed all the money from his family, and he didn't dare to tell his family that starting from the second year, he went to a new job with the introduction of his fellow villagers, and learned some brick and tile kung fu.

First, you have to be an apprentice with a teacher, and then follow the master to work. The original body is very honest, and the speed of learning is not slow or fast. Soon after leaving the apprenticeship, we will go out to work together, but this work always has to be drawn from time to time. What kind of nitpicking customers, who do not give money, save a lot of money at the end of the year.

Wu Guizhi and Tang Zhaodi, who were far away from their hometowns, began to stay at home after learning about all this. They went back to ten years ago and lived a life of diligence and thrift. Both women were able to endure hardships, and their ideas were very simple. , What is poor can't be poor Pei Zihao.

So Pei Xiaoping began to live, always staying at home, taking care of her younger brother, giving priority to her younger brother for any delicious food. When everything was dominated by her younger brother, she also delayed school for a few years. The reason is very simple, her mother and grandma said. Now, she went to school too early, and no one at home took care of her younger brother. She didn't arrive at school until she was nine years old. Her grades were not good or bad, and she barely made it to the first year of junior high, so she was coaxed to go home and asked her to go out to work.

In fact, at that time, the original body was already able to stand on its own. More or less, he could remit a little money every month, but Wu Guizhi and Tang Zhaodi also had their own calculations. First, there was no guarantee that the original body was working outside. , If you are old, you have to go home, and then you can't do anything, and you will have a big problem before you have the money. Second, when the grandson is old, he will always have to marry a wife, betrothal gifts, and house building... If you only look at the present, the money is enough, but if you see it later, you have to keep saving.

Although Pei Xiaoping likes to read, her grades are not too good. After hearing what her grandmother and mother said, she obediently went back and was coaxed. At the age of junior high school, she followed the villagers and went outside. I started working part-time, except for my own living expenses every month, I sent back almost all of it. At the age of the flowering season, there is no entertainment at all, and there are only other workers in front of me, and the work is like a mountain on my shoulders.

The place where she works is a small shoe factory, and the work she does is also mechanical assembly line work - in fact, she can't do too many other things, she reads little, and she has a small frame since she was a child, and she has little strength. The only thing she can do is to make money to go home day in and day out, and every time she picks up the phone, her grandmother or mother is bragging about her younger brother.

"Xiaoping, it's great for your brother to study! Their teachers all said that he might be able to get into high school or university! Then you will have a college student brother!"

"Your brother has recently missed a subject, and their teacher recommended that he should go to tutoring, but the tutoring fee will cost a little bit, so I will use your salary this month. After all, my brother is very successful, so are you? Marry!"

"The family is about to build a house. I have calculated with your milk. The money is almost the same, and it is only 20,000 yuan. Do you still have it?"

He slammed it word by word, and Pei Xiaoping only knew how to respond in a daze. Well, um, she always felt that something was wrong, but she was very persuaded. She raised her chest and showed off to the surrounding workers—

"My brother is very good at reading, and their teacher said he can go to university!"

"Our family is going to build a house now. I heard that it can build three floors!"

She was with Yourongyan, but she felt more and more empty. On the assembly line, everything went by very quickly, like the blink of an eye, and the time passed. At the request of my grandmother and mother, as long as I go back, I will definitely bring shoes and clothes to my brother. What I miss every day is home. At the same time, the world outside is getting more and more exciting. She has read a lot of books in the bookstore outside the factory. Books, she likes literature and thinking, but she suffers from a low level of education. Every time she reads a book, she has to read a dictionary. What she understands is often wrong.

Then, Pei Zihao went to college. He got good grades. The village even pulled up a banner to celebrate. My mother and grandma didn't know where the money came from. They even gave my brother a flowing water banquet, and went to the county town to thank the teacher. After going to college. , his brother's expenses have also increased a lot. Pei Xiaoping often uses his mobile phone to communicate with him. Every now and then, he gives him some money, buys some clothes, and cares about all aspects of his life.

Then, Pei Xiaoping fell in love, and she fell in love with an accountant in the factory. The other party was a college student. He was gentle and refined. The calculation was fast and accurate. She didn't dare to chase people. When the other party found out, the two came together. She gathered up her courage and took her lover back to the village. She met her younger brother who came back from college vacation. The other party was also accompanied by a girl, tall and beautiful, frowning, pinching Nose, do not like the strange smell of the village.

Pei Xiaoping thought that both parents and grandma would agree, but she didn't expect that after discussing for a while, they made a request. They asked for a dowry of 100,000 - this is the amount requested by the sister-in-law's family. The lion opened his mouth and scared her directly. The lover, the other party's family is average, and he has spent a lot of money to support a college student. He persuaded her to persuade her parents, but heard Pei Xiaoping's firm voice:

"You also need to understand that our family's conditions are not good. Now that my younger brother has found a daughter-in-law, I, as a sister, must also support me. In this way, I still have some savings here. Let's work hard together and ask the workers to borrow some. okay?"

Then there were endless quarrels. The lover talked to her again and again, and finally left with a sleeve. When he was about to leave, he pointed at her and smiled: "Look at them, you only have your brother in your heart, if you think about you a little bit. , would you say that? I don't think you are worth 100,000 yuan in my heart, but what are you going to do with the 100,000 yuan? It's not to be filial to your parents, it's to be used for your brother's marriage, is it funny? ?"

Although she was sad, she answered blankly, "Isn't it the same for my brother?"

The other party laughed, turned to leave, and never came back. Pei Xiaoping came home, and was greeted by the disappointed sighs of her family. She felt ashamed, so she had to borrow some money from her co-workers and help the family first. In the end, her brother finally got married. , she continued to return to the factory to work. She heard that her lover had resigned, and she was going to marry a girl from her hometown and work in another factory, but she did not speak.

The world is very wide. Although she works in the factory, she can see a lot. The workers in the factory come and go, and the words she hears are becoming more and more different. There is a stubborn little girl who bears her. mouth, saying that my brother cares about me? They want to give preference to sons and daughters, then don't call me old age. There is also an older sister who frowns and says that her brother owes a debt, and she helps to pay it off and breaks up the house.

Her small world has been greatly impacted, and everything she has known since childhood is different from what she has seen.

It turns out that some girls have been doted on by their parents since they were born.

It turns out that some families have no males, and they are living well, and they don't feel that they can't lift their heads.

It turns out that not every girl has to dedicate everything in her life.

It turns out... it's just that she is not loved, it's just her relatives who love her brother even more.

At work, Pei Xiaoping suddenly felt very unwell, and poor people do not see a doctor—although her family is not too poor, she is poor, and she hardly left any savings for herself. She listened to the workers and went to the hospital. To see a doctor, it takes dozens to register an account, not to mention prescribing medicines and filming. She chose to go to the pharmacy in front of the factory. After talking about the symptoms, she prescribed medicines according to the requirements of the pharmacy and went home, but the uncomfortable symptoms became more and more serious. , She finally couldn't stand it anymore. When she arrived at the hospital, the hospital said that she had thyroid cancer. She didn't understand, but she knew that if she didn't get treatment, she would die and it would cost a lot of money.

Before she could answer the phone at home, she received a call from her mother. On the other end of the phone, her mother spoke in a cadence and beamed with joy: "Xiaoping, you have a sister-in-law! Your milk went to ask Daxian and said it was a man! If you have any money, come back and buy some nutrition for your sister-in-law!"

She opened her mouth in silence: "Mom, didn't I help borrow some money for my brother's marriage last time? You want the money I've paid back over the years, can you give it to me first, I'll be useful..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was greeted with a scolding. After the mother scolded her grandmother, they said she was ungrateful, didn't take her brother seriously, and had no feelings for being an older sister... In short, there is no money, but there is scolding.

Pei Xiaoping thought about it for a long time and didn't call back. She thought about telling her parents that she was sick, but she was more suspicious. She always felt that even if she said she was sick, she would not be able to get the money. It's not comparable to the nutrition expenses of my sister-in-law. What is her life?

But how did she know that when she got sick, it would be so painful. She had no money to go to the hospital, and she couldn't bear to grit her teeth. She, who was always timid and well-behaved, went to the rooftop and jumped down, leaving only a small book The book, with uneven handwriting, wrote her whole life.

"My whole life, like duckweed, falls down when the wind blows, without roots." - "Duckweed"
