Chapter 18 Family
Chapter 18 Family
The current house of Liu Dongming’s family is not far from Qinglong Teahouse, and it is about two miles away. It is also located on the old street of Qingti Town.
It’s just that it’s the house, which is actually the ancestral hall of the Liu family. It used to live with its ancestors, but now it’s all living in it with its family.
Of course, compared with most truly poor people, at least there is a place to stay, so they will not be displaced.
Not only that, in addition to the ancestral hall, there are still more than ten acres of corn fields left in the remaining assets of the Liu family. Now, Liu Dongming's mother Li Yuzhen and her second uncle's cousin Liu Jing have all planted sweet potatoes.
In addition, some vegetables are also planted in the sweet potato ditch. These vegetables have grown two inches high for a while and can be picked and eaten after a while.
This woman, the big grandmother of the Liu family, who was pampered in the past, was like most Chinese women, facing the arrival of disaster, and using her slender waist guardian, a family that was swaying in the wind and rain.
As for the old man Liu Jichang and his second uncle Liu Jisheng, one was staring at the ancestral tablet all day long, while the other was lying in the small room and sleeping heartlessly. When Liu Dongming returned home, Liu Dongming, who was far away, asked about the smell of food.
Smelling the smell should be making porridge.
As soon as he entered the door, a pleasant voice came into Liu Dongming's ears.
"Brother, you are back!" Liu Jing was speaking, and he rushed towards Liu Dongming as he shouted.
Although the two are cousins, their relationship is really good. Even though Liu Jisheng dragged the Liu family to such a situation, both in Liu Dongming’s mind and his parents still did not want to see her. On the contrary, Liu Jing’s mother Zhang Chunxiang was even more pity after running away with someone, and completely regarded it as her daughter’s love.
"Well, I'm back!" Liu Dongming picked up Liu Jing. This little girl who was only less than thirteen years old, from the past, the rich lady had learned simple housework and could cook rice porridge and stir-fry. (Many brothers think that a twelve-year-old child can't do housework, so she gave an example. She could do it at the age of twelve and she had to chop pig grass to feed the pigs. Alas! The kids are so expensive now!)
"Brother, where did you last night? Auntie is waiting for you until midnight!" Liu Jing hugged his elder brother, turned his head and whispered to report the news, saying, "After eating, why don't you go to my room to sleep first, and you will come out after the aunt and I go up the mountain to water the ground."
"Haha, okay! It's really not in vain that I love you!" Liu Dongming laughed and took a five-dished piece of legal currency from his close-fitting pocket and handed it to Liu Jing and said, "Come on, this is what my brother rewards you, but if you have to collect it, spend whatever you want!"
Yesterday, when the negotiations were held at Yang Ting'an's house, Liu Dongming paid 500 yuan in advance to share the money as a settlement fee. After all, the situation of the Liu family is really not easy. With this money, he can leave some for his family as a household purchase. Although he will not return to his wealthy life as before, it will definitely improve his family's life a lot.
Even if you save some money, you can buy a house in the town again so that you won’t be crowded into the ancestral hall.
Another part he needs to take to Chongqing to buy some clothing and daily expenses.
There is an old saying that living in Beijing is not easy, but now Chongqing has become the capital of the Republic of China. Life is naturally expensive.
"Wow!" Liu Jing was shocked, and then suddenly realized something and hurriedly covered her mouth with her little hand. Then she said to Liu Dongming in shock: "Brother, where did you get so much money?"
Liu Jing was a little nervous for a moment, and then said, "How about you keep it yourself, brother, I don't spend money at home. You can only get the strength when you work and eat enough!"
Until now, she still thought that Liu Dongming was carrying a job on the dock.
Looking at the little person in front of him, who was obviously very young, but he tried hard to share the worries of adults, Liu Dongming felt more moved.
This kind of family affection that makes people feel warm from the bottom of his heart was something he had never felt in his previous life. At this moment, he couldn't help but clench his fist tightly and hugged Liu Jing.
In this life, he will definitely not let the people who care about him and those who care about him suffer a little grievance!
Even if it's a little bit, it won't work!
He was still standing there just now, but the next moment, Liu Dongming felt that his ear was being held in his hand. Then he realized that his mother Li Yuzhen had arrived at him at some point. The most important thing was that he had already controlled him firmly in his hand.
"Do you know you're back?" Li Yuzhen immediately began to scold and said, "I thought you were dead outside!" As she said that, she pointed to the ancestral hall again, and continued, "Or why don't you learn from your second uncle again and see if our ancestral hall can withstand your spendthrift. Give Xiaojing five yuan at will. Do you still think you are the eldest master of the Liu family? It's enough for your old man and your mother to save some food for three months!"
After saying that, he snatched the five dollar fiat currency that Liu Dongming had just prepared to make pocket money for Liu Jing, and quickly put it in his arms.
"Mom, what are you thinking? Xiaojing is still next to you!" Liu Dongming was afraid that Li Yuzhen would embarrass Liu Jing by using Liu Jisheng as an example. He immediately took his hand into his arms, took out a handful of five-dished legal currency, and smiled at Li Yuzhen, "Then your son will give you dozens of March, are you happy?"
"So much money? Where did it come from?" Li Yuzhen was shocked and didn't care about the money. She grabbed Liu Dongming and said, "Young son, don't do anything randomly. Although our Liu family is now in decline, it's a waste of money! Tell me quickly, where did your money come from? Let's pay it back to others and return it back!"
As she said that, she pulled Liu Dongming to walk out the door.
Liu Jisheng's Yinzi money incident really scared Li Yuzhen. Although life is hard now, it is not impossible to survive.
At least there is a ancestral hall that shelters from the wind and rain, and there are more than ten acres of mountain land. As long as you don’t have a luxury, you can still enjoy food and clothing.
Of course, the most important thing is to stick to the soil and produce first, and none of these are the problems.
But if Liu Dongming learned from Liu Jisheng to borrow money from outside, then this stormy home would be really over.
"This is not Yinzi money, it is my monthly money!" Liu Dongming quickly explained, then put Liu Jing on the ground, and then took the fiat currency in his hand and counted it with a smile on his face: "Mom, are you sure you really don't want it?"
