Picking mulberries

With Qiu Yang's help, Cui Shicheng changed into a secondary outfit, and when he left the room, he amused Su's mother. Cui Dongxu couldn't help but stare at her for a long time.

"You can become a make-up artist." Cui Dongxu couldn't help but give Qiu Yang a hard grip, brat, look at my dad's disguise, he's an old man picking up rags from the countryside.

"Isn't this also a strategy?" Qiu Yang patted his arm painfully.

"In order to avoid future troubles, it doesn't matter even if you dress up as a beggar." Cui Shicheng was quite satisfied with Qiu Yang's "masterpiece".

"Really go alone?" Su's mother was a little worried.

"I'm not going to Longtan and Tiger's Cave. I'm just picking up my sister. There's nothing to worry about."

"Closed like this, it's impossible to drive by yourself?" Cui Dongxu asked.

"Of course you can't drive there," Qiu Yang said, "I'll drive Uncle Cui to Hebu County, and then take the bus to Xianliu from the county."

"Keep your phone unblocked." Cui Dongxu instructed.

"No problem, I will drive to Xianliu and wait there, and I will pick it up as soon as I am notified."

"Have you explained the exact address to my dad?" Cui Dongxu was still worried.

"Don't worry about it. The road is dead and the people are alive. I'm afraid I won't be able to ask the place. After all, I also grew up in the countryside, so I always have some memories." Cui Shicheng said to his son.

"Mr. Cui," Su's mother wiped her hands on the apron, "How about tidying up the room next to me on the first floor for the eldest sister's bedroom?"

"Okay, you can figure it out."

After Cui Shicheng and Qiu Yang left early in the morning, Cui Dongxu was worried all day, and couldn't feel at ease at school, so he had to go home again to wait for news.Unexpectedly, there was still no reply until the evening.Cui Dongxu couldn't sit still anymore, so he called Qiu Yang to ask how the situation was going.Qiu Yang said that he didn't know the specific situation, and Uncle Cui told him to wait, he would stay at his sister's place for one night today.

"Stay for one night?" Cui Dongxu asked anxiously, "Where do you live?"

"I don't know either. I asked Uncle Cui if I should go there, and he said no, everything is going well." Qiu Yang knew what Cui Dongxu meant, and comforted him, "Since you want to pretend that you are not living a very good life Then you have to pretend to be decent, I think, you probably won’t live at your aunt’s house, and the old lady can’t live there, maybe there will be a conscientious person among your cousins, and you have to entertain him for a while when your uncle comes. Night."

"I hope it's as good as you said." Cui Dongxu sighed.

"Maybe I'm too concerned," Qiu Yang began to reflect, "I'm afraid that any troubles between relatives will affect your mood in the future, so I came up with such a bad idea to test your cousins, after all, Uncle Cui Conditions are different now.”

"I don't want to have anything to do with my cousin who is so cruel to my own mother, as long as I can take my aunt over to live with them, it doesn't matter what good idea or bad idea you come up with," Cui Dongxu suddenly thought of something, "Where are you spending the night by yourself? Home?"

"If you don't go back, you won't be able to endure the nagging from your parents when you go home. You will definitely ask questions," Qiu Yang said with a smile, "I'm in Liukong Temple now, and I lived here before."

"Oh, I forgot, you are a VIP customer in that temple, so naturally you don't have to worry about accommodation."

"Xu Xu, I can't be with you tonight, you miss me." Qiu Yang said with a cheeky grin.

"Buddhism is pure, you boy, pay attention to me." Yo ho, the brat is becoming more and more unruly, is this the rhythm that I have spoiled.

"Uh, it's my Xu Xu Baoming's reasoning, Amitabha, it's a sin."

Cui Dongxu knew that this kid would play Baolai endlessly with him, so he hung up the phone cruelly.

"Master," seeing Cui Dongxu coming down the stairs, Mama Su, who was waiting anxiously, also called, "When will President Cui and the others come back?"

"I'm not coming back today, it's going to be tomorrow, we won't wait, and you don't have to prepare meals, I ordered takeaway from Jinshanfang, let's just make do to save trouble."

"Okay, I'm so flustered, I really don't have the heart to do it," Cui Dongxu's takeaways were never worse than his own, and Su's mother let him go, "Thinking about it, no matter how cruel you are. My own mother, it is impossible to bring someone back right away."

"There are many people in the family, Mama Su, you will have to work harder when you grow old."

"Isn't it just picking a dish and cooking a meal, and other jobs are done by hourly workers, so there's no such thing as hard work." Su Ma wiped the corners of her eyes, "The house is getting more and more lively. It would be great if my wife was still alive. A few days ago Today I went to chat with her and told her about the changes in the family. Since the family came to Ayang, you have changed, too, Mr. Cui, and you two have spent more time at home. The whole house It’s much brighter. I’m just thinking, if my wife is alive and has such a good family atmosphere, she will definitely recover from her illness in no time.”

"You went to the cemetery again?"

"Isn't it the eighth anniversary of my wife's death? Let's go there and chat with her. I'm getting old, and I can't forget the old things. I always think about my wife, and I always think that it's almost time for me to see her." Mama Su held her nose.

"I forgot about my mother's death day." Cui Dongxu said with a gloomy expression.

"You will go to worship during the three festivals of Qingming, Zhongyuan and New Year's Eve. You are filial enough." Su's mother regretted that she should not bring up this dull topic. From my previous life, if I didn’t have my wife, I wouldn’t know where I would have died in the wilderness. People like nostalgia when they are old, what a fool.”

"If it's not a while, the family will organize an outing to relax. I haven't gone out for a long time."

"I want to go with you. I don't like going out by car, so I'd better stay at home." Mama Su shook her head repeatedly.

"Let's just go shopping in the country. How about going to Hainan?"

"Let's talk, let's talk," Su's mother saw the expectation on Cui Dongxu's face, and felt sorry for him that he devoted himself to teaching and rarely had his own entertainment time, so it wouldn't dampen his interest. "Wait for Ah Yang to come back and discuss it." Bar."

"Uh, that's fine." Cui Dongxu didn't know why Mama Su put Qiu Yang's opinion first.

It wasn't until the next afternoon that Cui Shicheng and Qiu Yang came back from Xianliu, and Cui Shiying, Cui Dongxu's aunt, came back at the same time, but what surprised Mama Su was that the old man didn't have any luggage.

Qiu Yang, this handsome guy, Cui Shiying, had met before, and it was only in the car that he realized that he was not his brother's grandson, but his nephew's student.When he got home, he regarded Cui Dongxu as Cui Shicheng's grandson again. Cui Dongxu was amused, and thought to himself, it's been two days, why dad hasn't explained the situation of his family clearly.There was no other way, so Cui Dongxu had to tell the old lady about the family situation in detail, including Su Ma's life experience.

The old lady looked at her brother's magnificent home, and at her young and handsome nephew, and she had a sister who was not much younger than her age as company. Most of the food she ate at night was something she had never seen before. The aftertaste is endless, the mouth is grinning from ear to ear, and I just keep talking about being blessed and blessed.Under Su's mother's care, Cui Shiying, who got in a car for the first time and went out for the first time, soon went into the house to rest.Only then did Cui Dongxu seize the opportunity to ask his father to tell what happened.

Cui Shicheng didn't seem to be interested. Under his son's questioning, he didn't talk about the experience of the past two days. He just asked him to take a leave of absence tomorrow to go shopping with his aunt and visit some scenic spots in the city. Let the aunt who has never seen a big city open her eyes, and tidy up her clothes by the way.

"The teacher never likes this kind of shopping. There are still tasks waiting for him in the courtyard. Let me do the shopping." Qiu Yang opened his eyes and said nonsense. Nine of them were bought by Cui Dongxu, "It's fine for the teacher to have a meal with us at noon, or I and Su's mother will accompany the old lady for a stroll. After all, I didn't bring anything, and there are quite a lot of things to buy." Qiu Yang He just drove over after receiving a call from Cui Shicheng, and when he got there, Cui Shicheng got into the car with the old lady and came back. From the moment he got in the car, Cui Shicheng's face was as black as Bao Gong's. Qiu Yang wanted to know what was going on but didn't It’s easy to ask, and I’m also curious in my heart.

"Well, it's true, Dongxu is not as careful as you." Cui Shicheng nodded and smiled.

"Mr. Cui, do your nephews agree to the elder sister's coming to live?" Seeing that Cui Shicheng didn't respond to his son's inquiry, Su's mother asked.

"It's okay not to mention those beasts..." Cui Shicheng saw that everyone was curious, so he had to talk about the experience of the past two days.

According to Qiu Yang's detailed explanation and introduction, Cui Shicheng found Liutang Ye's house without much effort, and asked about his sister's house.

How could Cui Shiying think that half a century later she would see her younger brother again? People who haven’t seen each other in decades have changed a lot. The siblings checked for a long time. Weeping with joy, he held Cui Shicheng's hand and kept counting the past experiences of the past few decades. He was full of guilt towards Cui Shicheng, and only hated himself for being useless and not taking care of his younger brother.

Bringing up those old things brought up the root of the disaster—Cui Shicheng's brother-in-law Ye Yingxiang.Speaking of her husband who has passed away for many years, Cui Shiying still has a lot of resentment. Since she married him, she has been scolded and beaten countless times, but up to now the two are the most memorable ones.Once, my younger brother came to ask for a teacher's ceremony. Not only did he not give him any money, but he was dragged from the house by his hair to the yard by that inhumane person and beat him up severely.Another time, after his parents died, he secretly sold a pig without telling him, and simply set up a place for his parents to be buried. She is still thinking about the bad things about her mother's family.

The reunion of siblings who hadn't seen each other for decades created a sensation in the peaceful mountain village, and many people came to watch the excitement.The news quickly reached the ears of Cui Shiying's three sons, and all three sons and daughters-in-law came over to find out the truth, probably because they were looking at Cui Shicheng's bullshit, and they didn't show much enthusiasm after recognizing their uncle.

Cui Shicheng had been annoyed since he heard the situation from Qiu Yang, but when he came to see it on the ground, he was even more angry. This is not a place where people live, and the tenants in the old society were not so poor.Seeing that several nephews were present, Cui Shicheng criticized them unceremoniously, his anger was uncontrollable, and his words were a bit extreme.Cui Shicheng originally thought that his uncle came to the door in person, and that his nephews were the ones who were wronged, and they would admit to being wrong after accusing him, but who knew that the three nieces and daughters-in-law were not easy to mess with, not only did he not feel ashamed of Cui Shicheng's accusations On the contrary, one after another, they began to mock and sneer at Cui Shicheng.Cui Shiying couldn't protect her younger brother, and cried again in anxiety.Seeing this situation, Cui Shicheng knew that there was absolutely no hope for his sister to rely on her son and daughter-in-law in her later years, so he said that if you don't treat me as a human being, then I will take my sister away and raise her.I thought the family of the nephews would think about it anyway, but the three nephews and daughter-in-laws agreed in a hurry.

The words and attitudes of the nieces and daughters-in-law made Cui Shicheng furious, saying that it was not because of the elder sister's face that he had to sue them for abandonment.When one of the nephews heard what his uncle said, he said angrily, "We didn't starve my old lady to death. Didn't we give rations every month? We wouldn't be afraid even if we sued the central government."As his own son said such cold-blooded words, Cui Shicheng was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

The neighbor next to the old lady’s residence saw that Cui Shicheng was being forced to ride a tiger, and seeing the situation, he really wanted to take him back to take care of him, so he kindly asked what Cui Shicheng’s job was, and whether his family’s conditions allowed, should he discuss it with his family first.Cui Shicheng said that even if he is poor enough to pick up junk, he still needs to ensure that his sister is well fed and warmly dressed.One of Cui Shiying's daughter-in-law heard what Cui Shicheng said, and immediately sneered, seeing that you are dressed like a rag picker, there are so many people present to testify today, it's not that we rely on you to raise her, but you took the initiative to raise her. Come out, don’t regret it if you find it troublesome and can’t afford it, but it’s easier to ask God than to give it away, don’t blame us for not saying bad things up front.

When Cui Shiying met her younger brother, she always only talked about her misfortune and guilt towards her younger brother. She only heard from Cui Shicheng that he is living a good life now, but I don't know the specific family situation.Seeing her son and daughter-in-law acting as if they were going to leave her as a burden to her younger brother, she became anxious and said that she would sue the village cadres. There is no reason to push a 70-year-old mother to her natal family.

The three daughters-in-law are really not easy to use, just because Cui Shicheng took the initiative to say that they want to take away the support, they seem to be reasonable, in front of Cui Shicheng, facing the old lady with abusive words, twittering, I am arguing, not thinking Seeing the purpose of coming today, Cui Shicheng wished he could strangle them to death.

Cui Shiying's words to complain to the village cadres reminded Cui Shicheng, so he asked the kind middle-aged woman neighbor next to him if there were any village cadres present.The neighbor said that the village cadres had already been overwhelmed by this family, and they didn't take the initiative to find them. It was too late for them to hide, so they would come to watch the excitement.

Cui Shicheng said to the three nephews, a man has to be a little bit responsible, since I said I would take my sister away, I will definitely take her away, and I am definitely not speaking in anger, but there is one condition, that is, from now on, my sister will be taken away even if she is with her. You have severed the relationship between mother and child, and from now on, you will never communicate with each other until you die. You call the village cadres, and we will establish an argument on the spot.
