"His uncle was already outside when he was his age. He never asked for a penny from his family, and would occasionally send money to his family. But he was even more awakened. He relied on him to build the house he built, and the house he built now.

He also put a lot of effort into the house." Su Liejun took down the empty ash bucket and replaced it with one filled with mud.

"I'm afraid you will enjoy the blessing of grandchildren in advance. From now on, you won't have to plant fields. You can just walk your dog at home every day, raise flowers, and learn from the old men and ladies in the city." The speaker laughed.

He got excited and asked, "Your boss is out of town, right? Will he come back for the Chinese New Year this year?"

"I can't say for sure. He got married outside, had a child, and had to work during the Chinese New Year. He might not have a holiday." Su Liejun took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave them to the workers one by one.

"That's because people who work outside don't have as much free time as we do. They only have less than ten days off during the Chinese New Year, and it takes two or three days to go back and forth. In addition, there are relatives over there who have to move around, so it's very difficult.

If we stay like this for three or four days, we won't be able to stay for more than a few days after we come back."

"If you ask me, I shouldn't have traveled so far when I was looking for a job. Now you have to travel far away and only come back every few years. How many years can a person live?"

"It can't be said that finding a job is not just to support the family. Who doesn't want to find a job nearby, but can a good job be found nearby? It's not like people don't care about their families outside, and they can also earn money back home."

Su Liejun took out some smaller cigarettes from his other pocket, shook one out, put it in his mouth, took two puffs, and sighed softly.

"Why don't you call the boss and ask him to take time to come back this year?" Luo Wenjuan, Xingxing's grandma, came over and listened to what she just said.

"Why are you calling? He is so busy at work, wouldn't calling him to come back delay his business?" Su Liejun shook his head.

"He hasn't come back for several years. He didn't have a house at home before, and he couldn't get used to it when he came back. Now he has a house at home and his life is much better. It will be more convenient for him to come back." Luo Wenjuan said, "As people get older,

It's getting worse and worse. If the boss doesn't come back, I'm afraid he will be able to see me when he comes back later, but I won't be able to see him."

"Even if you say some depressing words, it's not like you can't walk. Not long ago, you were so good at picking up cotton. Why can't you see him again?" Su Liejun said.

"As you get older, you can't tell for sure. It was fine today, but it might not be fine tomorrow." Luo Wenjuan said, "Shanzi was fine a few days ago, but suddenly it's gone?"

Su Liejun sighed again: "Okay, I won't be so busy in two days. I'll call the boss. He has helped the family a lot. Now the brothers in the family are living well and the nephew has become successful. It's time

Come back and take a look, we can't always let the other side think that we are a drag on the whole family."

"That's the reason. Let the boss, the eldest daughter-in-law, and the children come back." Luo Wenjuan nodded, "The boss always helps the family. I don't know if there are any gossips there, and we can't always make people think that the boss is dragging us down."

A bunch of poor relatives need to let people see how the family has changed, so that the boss will be tougher in what he says and does in the future."

The two were chatting. Luo Wenjuan was not in any mood at first. As they chatted, her eyes became red and she wiped away tears: "The boss has worked too hard these years. When he was a teenager, he would go out with dozens of dollars. He

We couldn't help him much with getting married, buying a house, and then having children. On the contrary, we dragged him down a lot. Now that the family's conditions are better, it's time for her to come back and take a look."

"Just talk it over. Why are you crying? You should be happy. Xingzi is promising and he is also a person who cares about love. My old Su family will definitely be able to get up again." The cigarette was about to burn out, and Su Liejun smoked again.

The two of them threw it to the ground and stomped on it, "It means I don't have any ability, and I haven't let a few children live a good life."

"Isn't it good to raise them well and not let any of them starve to death?" Luo Wenjuan said, "How did you get the rheumatism in your body? You just go fishing every day, and you have to go to the river even in cold weather.

It takes most of the day to do this, isn’t it just to get some food for a few children?”

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Su Liejun waved his hand, "You go wash the vegetables and put on the plastic gloves Xingzi bought. It's getting cold, so don't catch the cold. I'll carry the ash bucket again.

"

After waking up and leaving the village, we arrived at Maqiao Lake. The dead fish in the lake had been disposed of, but we could still see some scattered dead fish with long hairs attached to them floating in the lake.

No boat was seen on the lake, so Su Xing took a long detour to the other side of the lake.

There is a small house next to the lake. Ma Guoqiang is mending the net in front of the house. After not seeing him for just a few days, Ma Guoqiang makes people feel that he has become much older, his face is haggard, and his whole person has lost his energy.

Ma Guoqiang was sitting on a small bench with a net in front of him. He was holding a tool in one hand and looking for holes in the net with the other hand. He worked and stopped for a while, listlessly.

"Uncle Ma." Su Xing approached, but Ma Guoqiang hadn't noticed him coming, so he could only shout.

"Hey, you're here." Ma Guoqiang raised his head, "Wait a moment and I'll move a stool for you."

"No need." Su Xing shook his head, "Just stand."

Ma Guoqiang didn't listen. He ran into the room and took a small armchair and handed it to Su Xing: "Sit down and take a rest."

Su Xing sat opposite Ma Guoqiang. Ma Guoqiang did not continue to mend the net: "The person has been found."

"It's a good thing that I found him. Is he from my own village?" Su Xing didn't feel too surprised. Most of the crimes with high IQ are only in movies. There are clues in real life. It just depends on whether you are willing to look for the problem. As long as

If you are willing to spend some time and manpower looking for it, you can always find it.

"It's from the village." Ma Guoqiang smiled bitterly, "It's not necessarily a good thing to find it. There were originally four brothers in this family. The first three died in accidents. His parents also passed away early, and he was the only one left.

one person."

"I am in my 40s. Because my family is poor and I have not found a wife, I am still a bachelor. I am also lazy. Sometimes I don't eat for a whole day. When I am really hungry, I cook a big pot of porridge, which can last for two or three days.

.”

"Eating a pot of porridge for two or three days? It's okay in winter, but can it be done in summer?" Su Xing said.

"Is it possible? Anyway, he hasn't had any problems eating until now." Ma Guoqiang said, "I think he is pitiful, so I will occasionally send him one or two fish. If he goes early, I will bring him some meat buns."

.”

Speaking of this, Ma Guoqiang sighed deeply: "Human, I really can't explain. I'm not very nice to him, but at least I'm better than others, right? I give him some food occasionally, and I still feel good about him.
