"Otherwise we will miss you." Old Mrs. Liu paused and hesitated.
Dawei and his younger brothers and sisters all looked at Meng Qiang, knowing that there must be something behind this.
But they didn't make a fuss.
Dawei and Xiaowei walked over, each pulling the other to greet the two old men.
Xiaowei was already 8 years old when he left home, and his impressions of the two of them are quite vague. The reason why he can cry like a filial son and great grandson now is because he often interacts with people, and talks about other people's things and ghosts.
Not shy at all.
Daqin and Xiaoqin were different. They were thin-skinned and didn't want to pretend, so they just stood behind Dawei and Xiaowei.
"It's hot outside, come inside quickly." Meng Qiang said suddenly.
"Yes, let's go into the house." Dawei said, and he pulled his grandma into the house.
Mrs. Liu, however, reflexively broke away from his hand and said, "Put down the rags before you go in, but you can't take them into the house."
Otherwise, you will be beaten.
Thinking of the hard days before, Mrs. Liu's eyes became red again and tears fell down.
I originally thought that Zhang Guilan was a loser who could not make much money and was always subsidizing the loser in front of her. She was so skinny that she looked like she was going to die.
Then change it to another one.
Widow Zhu's salary is high, and she has agreed in advance not to bring a few oil bottles with her.
After receiving the marriage certificate, things were different.
Widow Zhu took a few oil bottles and became the king of the house!
Liu Xiangqian and Liu Cong refused to fight and started to make trouble. As a result, they were beaten up by seven or eight of Widow Zhu's natal brothers.
If you hit them a few more times, they will become more honest.
Then the next unlucky ones are Mrs. Liu and Old Man Liu.
If the family does not support idlers, their retirement wages must be handed over to their "grandson" to find a wife, and they must earn their own food and drink.
How do they earn money at their age? They can only pick up rags.
Because they couldn't eat well or sleep well, the two were kicked out of their original room and lived in a warehouse that originally contained sundries.
Bitter.
While crying, Old Mrs. Liu and Old Man Liu put away the rags, then washed their hands and went to the dark warehouse to change into clean clothes before entering the main room.
Widow Zhu is quite fond of cleanliness. The windows in the house are very clean and bright.
The courtyard door rang again, and Liu Xiangqian came back with several people.
He just got off work.
Followed by a man and a woman, the man is in his 20s, about the same age as Xiaowei, and the woman is 18 or 19 years old, about the same age as Daqin.
The two of them look a bit like Widow Zhu, and they look like mother and son.
Behind him is a skinny little girl in her teens, carrying a schoolbag. This girl also looks like Widow Zhu.
But counting the time, this should be the one she and Liu Xiang had after their marriage.
Liu Qianqian raised his head and looked at the people in the yard, stunned: "Are there guests at home?"
He didn't recognize Dawei or the others.
When they left, Dawei was only 10 years old and Xiaoqin was only 4 years old.
Now Dawei is 22 and Xiaoqin is 16. These are the years when life changes the most.
Although Liu Xiangqian went to the capital once in the meantime, during those brief visits, his attention was not focused on the children.
Dawei opened his mouth and tried several times before shouting: "Dad."
He has feelings for his grandparents, but for his father, these feelings are at a discount, almost non-existent.
Liu Xiangqian went over and paid no attention to them. When he saw them, his eyes would skip over them.
When you are in charge, it is time to fight.
Xiaowei also opened his mouth but did not shout.
Da Qin and Xiao Qin didn't even shout, they just acted as the plenipotentiary representatives of the eldest brother.
Liu Xiangqian was stunned, Dad?
The next second, his eyes widened: "Are you Dawei or Xiaowei?"
"Yes." Dawei nodded.
"Oh! Why are you back?" Liu Xiangqian was so excited that he went up and took Dawei's hand and asked excitedly: "Where is your mother?"
"Huh?" Widow Zhu next to her suddenly snorted loudly and stared at him fiercely, knowing that he would not give up on Zhang Guilan!
Liu Xiangqian's expression suddenly stiffened.
"Um, when did you come back? Are you tired? Come in and do it! Have you eaten? I'll prepare delicious food for you!" Liu Xiangqian smiled and pulled people into the house.
Dawei asked strangely: "Dad, can you cook?"
Back then, he didn't even touch the pot, saying that was all women's work.
Liu Xiangqian froze again.
Widow Zhu suddenly smiled and said proudly: "Your father is a good cook and he cares about people. He has been cooking all these years, and the cooking is delicious."
The expressions of several children suddenly didn't look good.
They saw their mother every day and had memories of her life before.
There are both big and small ones!
Because they do a lot of housework together! The water in winter is so cold, and they have to help wash dishes and clothes!
Her dad?
They had to pour water for Liu Qianqian to wash his feet! When the water got cold, they had to replenish it!
Want to take a bite of her dad's cooking?
If you make dinner late, you will be beaten!
"What are you talking about?" Liu Xiangqian quickly interrupted with a guilty conscience: "How have you been doing these past years? Are you working? Where do you work? How much is your monthly salary?"
Dawei said: "I have just graduated from college and am working. The salary is not high, only more than 100. Xiaowei is still in college, Daqin will also go to college in September, and Xiaoqin is still in high school, and neither of them has a job."
Although only one of the four siblings made money from work, Liu Xiangqian and Widow Zhu were still wide-eyed.
"Are you all college students? Have all three of you been admitted to college?" Liu Xiangqian asked excitedly.
"Yeah." Dawei nodded reservedly.
It's not strange to be admitted to college. With my sister teaching me like that, it's strange that they can't be admitted.
But he also knew that, outside, a family of four brothers and sisters, three college students, or even four college students would be a big deal, almost impossible.
It's enough for the whole family to be proud of.
Sure enough, the faces of Liu Xiangqian and Mrs. Liu and Old Man Liu were all shining brightly.
Not only can you show off, but you can also get benefits.
Not only do college students have a good reputation, but they also receive assignments after graduation, making them directly cadres.
The key is, earn more.
Liu Dawei rubbed his hands.
He is so poor.
Now he has handed over all his salary and has nothing in his pocket. He only smokes and drinks.
If he can only get out but not get in, no one will bother him after a long time.
Fortunately, he still has children!
"Why are you back? Did you come back specially to see me?" Liu Xiangqian said movedly.
Dawei has a job and the other three are in school, but he doesn’t come back to live there permanently. Then it depends on what he does?
Widow Zhu's eyes changed when she looked at several people. It turned out that she was not here to beat the autumn wind, but there was an autumn wind for her to beat! This is good.
Meng Qiang's eyes were either on Daqin, or on Xiaoqin, and finally settled on Daqin.
Female college students......
Meng Qiang's younger brother Meng Xin is also watching Daqin.
Meng Jiao's eyes were fixed on Dawei, and the more he looked at him, the more handsome he looked, making her face turn red.
