Ask for peace of mind

When Xu Limin came back, his face was sinking like water, his eyes were fixed on Xu Wei'an as if he wanted to peel off the skin from him.

"What do you want?" He lowered his voice and yelled at Wen Di angrily, fearful and frightened, even his hands and feet trembled involuntarily, it seemed that he was extremely angry and frightened.For the first time in his life, this gloomy man who is used to being the master of the house panicked, at least in Xu Wei'an's eyes. He had never seen Xu Limin like this. In his impression, Xu Limin had always been domineering, vicious, and violent. , gloomy synonymous, firmly grasp the right to speak at home, no one dared to challenge his majesty, otherwise it would be a severe beating, even Sun Yulan could not avoid it.Didn't expect him to have this side.

Xu Wei'an has been shadowed for many years, and subconsciously walked behind Wen Di, avoiding Xu Limin's gaze.

Wen Di noticed his movements, reached out to wrap his arms around him, and patted his head.

"You sign the agreement, I can try my best to meet your conditions, but..." Wen Di's calm tone changed, and he said coldly and cruelly: "Don't push too hard, or you will see their fate, and it will be your tomorrow."

Xu Limin gave Xu Wei'an a hard look, and his face finally looked better.He stopped looking at Xu Wei'an, went directly into the room and took out the agreement Wen Di gave, holding it in his hand.

"I want 5000 yuan. Our family, young and old, can't get enough to eat. We have raised him for more than ten years for him to study, but we have not been able to sell the iron. 5000 yuan is considered to be a repayment of our kindness. It's not much. You give the money Give it to me, and I'll sign it."

"Wait!" Wen Di stopped, and didn't agree or disagree, but said, "After your wife comes back, the two of you sign together. If she doesn't agree, I won't give you the money."

Xu Limin said disapprovingly: "She listens to me, and she won't disagree." But he didn't know what to do. No one could afford so much money. The family's half-life savings could be 2000 yuan, and they were all wealthy families. .He opened his mouth loudly, but Wen Di didn't agree. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He was afraid that things might change, and he hated it. He only blamed Sun Yulan for not coming back, "4000 yuan, it can't be less. He gritted his teeth and reduced 1000 yuan.

Wen Di patted Xu Wei'an, who was hesitant to speak but stopped, and smiled without saying a word. Xu Limin became more and more restless, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to surrender.The undercurrent is surging over there, and Xu Wei'an is really impatient here. With 4000 yuan, some people can't earn that much money in their lifetime. Besides, since he was able to make money in elementary school, the tuition fees are basically paid by himself.Xu Limin's heart is too dark for asking for so much money.

Before the third grade of elementary school, the tuition fee was low, and a few yuan was enough for the tuition fee. The old lady of the Xu family held the money like an iron rooster, and didn't pay a penny. Pay tuition, buy stationery.This incident was later found out by the uncle's family. The two uncles were filial, and they didn't tell their grandmother. They went to him and Sun Yulan to have a fight at Xu's house. The family still does not pay tuition fees.He didn't want his grandma to know, so his grandma stuffed him with money, and he turned around and gave it to Sun Lin for Sun Linhua to use.Later, the tuition fee increased every year, and the money his grandmother gave him was not enough for the tuition fee, so he lied that the Xu family had prepared tuition fees for him, and he didn't need his grandmother to give any more money.Every summer, the money earned by throwing cicada shells is handed over to the Xu family. He can only secretly pick up waste and weave braids to make money. Grandma knows his difficulties and never mentions them to his in-laws.Grandma felt that the Xu family paid the tuition fees, so she provided some food and stationery money for the students.Xu's family thought that his grandmother's family provided him with tuition and food, so they let him study until he graduated from junior high school. The two families were a little sensitive and frictional about his going to school, and they would not mention it face to face. So over the years, they both thought it was the other party. out of money.

After all, Xu Wei'an was thrown into a cicada shell by Sun Yan since he was able to walk steadily. After being adopted by the Xu family, the Xu family didn't give Xu Wei'an a dime, and asked him to hand over the money for selling the cicada shell.Xu Wei'an lived at his grandmother's house during the holidays, so he didn't eat much food from Xu's family.The Xu family was also poor at that time, and the whole family could not have enough to eat. Sun Yulan had not been pregnant for many years, and her status in the family was extremely low. Not to mention that she had no money in her hand. Xu Wei'an ate the rest.

Sun Yulan hadn't been pregnant for many years, and she was abused by Xu's family, and she lost her health.The grandmother always thought that Xu Wei'an was a lucky star. Seeing that her daughter had been childless for many years and had a difficult life, the old lady was very distressed and anxious, so she let Xu Wei'an into Xu's house, hoping that he would bring some blessings to her daughter.The Xu family was unwilling to pay for Xu Wei'an's food, so the old lady saved food from her mouth and sent it to the Xu family as Xu Wei'an's rations, but most of these rations went into the mouths of the Xu family's mother and son.Xu Wei'an remembers early. Although Sun Yulan was indifferent to him, she was the daughter of his grandmother. Xu Wei'an wanted a mother too much, and he yearned for Sun Yulan very much.It's just that Xu Wei'an lived in Xu's family for less than a year, and Sun Yulan became pregnant and gave birth to the eldest daughter. She loved Xu Wei'an like a treasure, but she became more and more indifferent to Xu Wei'an, an outsider.As Xu Wei'an grew older, Sun Yulan's countless times of ignoring made him lose his longing, and he no longer had any hope for the word "mother".

Wen Di didn't know these things, so Xu Weian secretly scratched Wen Di's waist anxiously, afraid that Wen Di would really take out the money and give it to the Xu family.He couldn't say it in front of Xu Limin, because Xu Limin knew that he could make money since he was a child, and he was even more unwilling to let him go, or let him go only after raising the price.

Wen Di looked helpless when he made trouble, fortunately he was not ticklish, otherwise he would not be able to hold back, and jumped up in front of Xu Limin, that would really lose all momentum.He could only hold Xu Wei'an's hand to keep him from moving, stood up and said to Xu Limin, "You can think about what to do again. Specifically, wait for your wife to come back and talk about it in detail. Excuse me." He nodded as he said, He pulled Xu Wei'an out of the yard.

"What's wrong?" Wen Di asked as he walked in Xuzhuang's fields.

Xu Wei'an, who had already prepared a lot of things to say, talked about the situation in these years without end, and finally concluded: "I can't give that much, and they didn't support me much."

Wen Di looked at his spiritual youthful appearance, and compared his dark, skinny and cowardly childhood appearance when he first saw him, and felt a pang of pain in his heart. The life of being dependent on others did not make him a slave of life, but instead became a tenacious, tenacious An optimistic young man.

In winter, the field is empty and there is no one around, but there are people coming and going in the village. You can see people in the field just by looking around. He dare not be careless, resisting the desire to hug Xu Wei'an, and gently pinched him neck, looked into his eyes, and said, "I see."

Being watched tenderly by him, Xu Wei'an couldn't help blushing, and walked a few steps forward uncomfortably, trying to avoid his gaze, but it was inevitable, so he had to tiptoe and cover Wen Di's eyes, muttering: "stop looking."

Wen Di couldn't help laughing, and was afraid that his young man would have no scruples, so he was so ashamed and annoyed that he dared to rush over and gag him. He was too familiar with this guy's routine, so he lowered his head and held back his laughter, and pulled him slowly. Take a slow walk.

Although winter is lonely, everything is silent, and there is no scenery to see, but under the warm sunshine, time seems to have stood still. The green wheat seedlings are swaying with the wind vigorously against the cold of deep winter. The air is fresh and natural. This peaceful farmhouse scenery is not interesting.

The two walked around the field before returning to Xu's house. Sun Yulan had already returned, and the two children were not there. Only the couple sat silently in the yard peeling peanuts. The atmosphere was not good, but they didn't start a fight. It seemed It has been discussed.

"What's the result of the discussion?" Wen Di took a step forward and sat on the chair brought out by Xu Weian.

Xu Limin's face was not good, and he kept silent.Sun Yulan said calmly: "3000 yuan, if you want, you can sign it now."

"You two agree?" Wen Di asked leisurely.

Xu Limin poked his neck and nodded with a dark face.Seeing him nodding, Sun Yulan smiled and said, "The head of the household agrees, and I will follow his orders." As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Limin's expression improved a lot.

Wen Di thought to himself, Sun Yulan is not a simple person. On the surface, she seems to be controlled by Xu Limin, but in fact she eats Xu Limin to death. It seems that Xu Wei'an still doesn't understand this adoptive mother.

He didn't know that when Sun Yulan was young, she took Xu Limin too seriously and regarded her husband as her god, but she suffered a big loss and was abused for seven or eight years.After giving birth, she also figured it out. She focused all her attention on the child and didn't care about Xu Limin at all. For the benefit of herself and the child, she flattered Xu Limin and used him coldly. From the perspective of a bystander, Instead, he slowly settled on Xu Limin.Wen Di didn't know this, otherwise he would definitely lament Xu Limin's patheticness and pity.But these are other people's affairs, and he is not interested in knowing about other people's lives.

"An'an, go and take out the paper from the interlayer of my briefcase." Wen Di didn't hesitate, and said directly: "How much have you paid to An'an over the years, how much have you taken from An'an, and what have you done to him? , I know it clearly, and I think you know it too." After saying this, the couple's face changed, Wen Di was not interested in whetting their appetites, "I don't want to care about the odds and ends, 3000 yuan It's not impossible, but you have to promise me one condition, and sign this agreement, and I'll take it to notarization." Then, he handed Xu Limin the guarantee agreement that Xu Wei'an handed over to him.

Sun Yulan hurried to Xu Limin's side, tilted her head to look at it, and saw that it read: "... Adopted Xu Weian for ten years... We now charge 3000 yuan from the Wen family as Xu Weian's maintenance for us. From then on, Xu Weian and the Xu family It doesn't matter at all... I promise not to harass him, ask for money in the name of adoptive parents... If you violate this promise, you will pay the Wen family a hundred times."

Xu Limin's gloomy face immediately turned cloudy again, and he looked at Xu Wei'an fiercely, "You debt collector..."

Wen Di couldn't see the little guy being scolded, so he interrupted Xu Limin impatiently, "Don't talk about those who have nothing, and then scold my baby, and I won't give you a penny. You forgot what your husband and wife did before, right?" ?”

Sun Yulan's face changed, and she took Xu Limin's arm to tell him not to be impulsive.She said tentatively: "It's not impossible for us to sign this letter, but you have to promise me one thing." Seeing that Wen Di's face didn't change, she became bolder and continued: "My mother-in-law is getting old, It's not appropriate to worry about labor, these matters of money exchange... we juniors can just settle it, what do you think?"

Wen Di glanced at Xu Limin, that man was really subdued by Sun Yulan, and he didn't even refute.He nodded amusedly in agreement.

After Sun Yulan finished speaking, she turned to Xu Wei'an again, "An'an, where is your grandma..."

Xu Wei'an didn't let her continue, lowered his eyes, and said flatly: "Grandma is getting old, I never let her be sad."

Sun Yulan knew that Xu Wei'an was filial, so she wasn't afraid of him talking nonsense at her natal family, as long as she asked for a verbal guarantee, she didn't ask Wen Di and Xu Wei'an to write a written guarantee.

She knew Xu Wei'an's filial piety to her mother best.The old lady Xu has a bad temper, and cares about every penny. Once she knows that she has no share in the 6000 yuan that Xu Weian brought, she will definitely make a fuss and hit her natal family.When Mrs. Xu made a fuss, everyone knew about it.Xu Wei'an is filial to his grandma, and will definitely not let these things that disturb the old man happen.

As for the death of his mother, Xu Wei'an has no scruples to reveal the matter?At that time, it was unclear whether the mother-in-law was alive. Besides, she had two children, and she coaxed Xu Limin into obedience. She was not afraid of her mother-in-law at all. , who knows?The only thing she worries about is that her mother knows that. No matter how cold-hearted she is, in the past 50 or [-] years of her life, the only one who does not ask for anything in return is her mother. No matter how unfilial she is, she has to be cautious looking at her.The patriarchal father who sent her into the fire pit regardless of her wishes was fine.It's not that she doesn't cherish her nephew, those two brothers who married with high price gifts from Xu's family didn't remember her kindness all these years, they went to Xu's family to make a fuss for Xu Wei'an's tuition fee, which caused her She will never forget being beaten by Xu Limin and Mrs. Xu, being cornered, and almost seeking death.Fortunately, after all these years, she has persisted and her life will get better and better!

Thinking of this, Sun Yulan took the pen, signed it, and handed the two agreements and the pen to Xu Limin.Xu Limin held a pen and asked, "Where's the money?"

Wen Di didn't say anything, and motioned Xu Wei'an to bring his briefcase.Xu Wei'an didn't pay attention when he got the agreement before. He didn't expect him to be so bold. He actually put 3000 yuan in the briefcase and put it in the Xu family's house. He was shocked and ran to the side room where they slept.

Xu Limin obviously understood, his face changed, and he was a little annoyed, obviously regretting not going through Wen Di's bag.

Wen Di sneered in his heart, he specially found the RMB with serial numbers when he came here, he was not afraid that the Xu family would steal it, but he was afraid that they would not steal it.It's just that the Xu family was lucky and didn't jump into this pit.

Xu Wei'an was holding a briefcase, which contained a stack of hundred-yuan banknotes tied with rubber bands. Wen Di motioned for Sun Yulan to take them over for inspection.Only then did Xu Limin sign his name.Wen Di brought the agreement over, checked it, and then put it in the briefcase again.

After Sun Yulan checked the money, she whispered to Xu Limin that it was enough, and then handed the money to Xu Limin in front of everyone, signaling him to accept it.Xu Limin's expression was excited. This was the first time he took over so much money. The last time, the money was taken away by Sun Lin before it was warmed up. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, but when he saw Xu Wei'an and Wen Di next to him The two of them suddenly felt that it was an eyesore, so they put on a wooden face and said coldly: "Since the matter is over..."

Wen Di didn't let him finish talking at all, and directly carried the bag, pulled Xu Wei'an, and walked towards the door, "Let's go, I have to go back to Yanzhou a year ago, don't waste time here."

Seeing Xu Limin's choked expression, Xu Wei'an couldn't help laughing, "Yeah." The luggage of the two of them was kept at Xu Wei'an's grandmother's house, and the bachelors couldn't do it, so they directly pushed the car that was ridden yesterday and left it at the door , left the Xu family.

Back in the old house, Xu Weian didn't tell the old lady about the termination of the adoption relationship with the Xu family. The old lady couldn't help but sigh when she saw that he came back after staying at home for one night.The relationship between her children and grandchildren is not happy, how could she not know?It's just pretending to be confused, and she will lend a hand to anyone who is in trouble, but she has nothing else to do.A 80-[-]-year-old old lady can't walk easily, her children and grandchildren are filial, many things are hidden from her, and she is not allowed to know. She can only spend the last few years in a daze, waiting for her eldest grandson Lin Zi got married and had children, and she got her wish, so she stopped dragging the children and dragged the old man to go directly.

They booked the air tickets back to Yanzhou before they came, and they had to leave this small village two days later and transfer to the city to take a plane.The reason why the schedule was rushed was because Wen Di's parents applied for annual leave at the end of the year. When Wen Di received the news, he was working overtime in the dark, just to accompany Xu Wei'an home before the year.Wen Di worked overtime to finish the work, and gave the employees annual leave. It was already a young age, and Wen Di had no time to clean up his parents' house, so he accompanied Xu Wei'an back to Baisha County.

Wen's parents only have seven days of annual leave, and when they arrive home on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, they have to leave on the second day of junior high.I haven't seen my parents for several years, and Wen Di also wants to see them.Although he only lived with his father for three years when the old man was knocked down during the turmoil, he was raised by his side for the rest of the time, just like Wen Nan is now.In fact, he is luckier than Wen Nan. When Wen Nan was born, the turmoil had ended. His parents loved the country deeply, and he was also a scientific research talent that the country needed. Fifteen or sixteen years old, and spent no more than three months with their parents in total.

Among all the brothers, Wen Nan is the youngest, and he basically never stayed with his parents. The old man dotes on him very much, and all the brothers also feel sorry for him without his parents. Bigger than Wen Nan, half of his paternal love was given to Wen Nan.Fortunately, Wen Nan's child has a good nature, such a good background, and so many people's doting, he didn't spoil him into a playboy, but grew into a self-improving young man.It's not that Wen Di and Wen Nan didn't complain about their parents when they were young, but the old man doted on them very much and wanted to make up for it. It's not that their parents didn't love them, and they gradually felt relieved when they grew up.As the old man said, living in such a family enjoys the power that most people will never get in their lifetime. If you enjoy the power bestowed by the state, you have to pay.These high-ranking helmsmen who hold most of the power only think about themselves. When will the big ship of the country be indestructible and sail towards a prosperous and powerful future?What the Wen family lacked most was a sense of responsibility, a sense of responsibility to the country.As a son of man, Wen Di also wanted to see if his parents were healthy after not seeing him for many years, and wanted to spend more time with them.

Air tickets and train tickets for Chinese New Year were particularly difficult to buy, so I finally hit the nail on the head and bought a return ticket for the night of December 27. I arrived in Yanzhou on December 28, and I still had half a day to pack up.

Parents are away all year round. Wen Di and Wen Nan lived with the old man when they were young. Wen Di earned money and bought the house he lives in at the age of eighteen or nineteen, and moved out from the old man. Wen Nan was young, and Wen Di worked hard a few years ago. He was also busy with his career, and basically settled in the office. The old man didn't let Wen Nan live with him, but continued to take Wen Nan with him.My parents' house has always been vacant. Although someone has been hired to clean it regularly, no one lives there all year round, and it is very empty and deserted.Originally, if Wen Nan was still in Yanzhou, he could arrange cleaning, buy new accommodation, buy new year's goods, and organize things.It's just that this guy was dragged to the barracks for drills just after the holiday, and he can't be contacted now, and he probably won't be back until around New Year's Eve.Wen Di could only ask someone to clean it first, and then wait for him to return to Yanzhou to arrange it himself.

Xu Wei'an hadn't seen his grandmother for two years, and he was very reluctant to leave two days after meeting, and the old lady didn't want him to go.He talked about it, saying that the parents of the Wen family who were studying for him came back, and they were leaving in the second year of junior high school. He had to meet his benefactor, so the old lady let go.

Before leaving, the old lady took him by the hand and gave him the 500 yuan he sent earlier and some odds and ends that he had saved by hand, saying that it was not easy for him to go to school outside. It's hard to open your mouth when you have money, and you can't eat enough or wear warm clothes.If you have money in your hands, you will always feel at ease.Xu Wei'an couldn't push it, so he could only continue, planning to buy it for the elderly in the future and mail it to her.The old lady nagged that she was getting old and didn't have many years to live, so she couldn't worry about him anymore. He had to take care of his own affairs. In the future, if she married an honest girl and had a child, she would have a family No more wandering outside.

Xu Wei'an almost burst into tears when he said that.Grandma is getting old, her eyesight is dim, and she has to stay far away to look at the flower cards, and she doesn't know how much time she spent on the little money she earned from doing those small handicrafts.Xu Wei'an thought that even though he was not as good as Sun Lin in grandma's heart, she really cared about him, on top of her heart. In this life, there will never be such an elder who treats him so well.

He almost blurted out to tell his grandma to follow him, and he would take good care of her.But reason saved him. He knew that the old lady valued a group of children and grandchildren more than anything else, and it was impossible for her to go with him. Mentioning those was just to expose the conflicts and frictions between him and them, and to embarrass the old man. Let him humiliate himself.

After breaking the relationship with the Xu family, the uncle's family almost rejected him on the face of it. It is not suitable for him to stay here alone for the New Year.Besides, Sun Lin is coming back soon. This blood-sucking worm-like cousin has a lot of tricks to persuade Sun Yulan and Xu Limin to keep him. At that time, he couldn't run even if he wanted to. A team of several people could tie him up directly. Selling to the south, under the wave of reform, the south is in chaos, and it will not be easy for Wen Di to find him.He never believed that Sun Lin would generously let his immature cash cow go. When he got into trouble, he couldn't hide the matter from his grandma. If he didn't make trouble, he couldn't leave.Is it time to let Wendi come to rescue?Nobody likes a would-be boyfriend who keeps getting in trouble.

In the end, he left the small village under the reluctance of his grandmother.

"Every year from now on, I will come back with you to have a look until grandma gets old, okay?" Two people sat on the bus going to the city. There were so many people that the bus was packed full. Everyone is staggering.Wen Di saw that the sockets of his eyes were red, and his bright black eyes were no longer shining brightly, but were full of reluctance and sadness of parting, so he couldn't help but sighed.

"Hmm." Xu Wei'an replied softly with a nasal tone.He leaned on his shoulders, hugged his neck tightly, and secretly wiped away the tears that flowed out.

There are eight sufferings in life, birth, old age, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, resentment and resentment, not getting what one wants, and being unable to let go.When he was young, he had no roots to rely on, was lonely, and had nothing to ask for. Fortunately, God was merciful. When he was a teenager, he met the right person, and since then, he has nothing to ask for.

If you live seriously, you will always be blessed by God, right?

The author has something to say:

It's finally over~Give yourself a little red flower~

I didn’t write an outline for the first article, so I was busy and dragged it down, and fewer and fewer people read it, and the more I wrote the article, the less passionate I was.Later, when I boarded the Jinjiang, I found that I forgot to update it. I went back and read the article again. I was shocked, what the hell is this?Originally, I wanted to leave it like this. The first time I wrote the essay, the style of writing was really bad. There was no story structure, it was completely straightforward, and there was no great idea.But seeing @熊猫竹 has been supporting me, I feel quite guilty. It’s too bad for readers to dig a hole and not fill it. Although I don’t necessarily still read this article now, I still decided to finish the article.As long as one person is still collecting, the hole has to be filled.When I was free some time ago, I roughly changed it and posted it again, giving readers and myself an ending, and then a new journey.

The ending is a bit rushed, but everything that needs to be explained has been explained. No matter what wind, frost, rain and snow, Wen Di and Xu Wei'an will always walk through together~ There is nothing to say, see you in the next article!This time, I will sum up the experience, make a good outline, and send out the manuscript after 20 manuscripts are saved.Anyway, thank you all~
