Compared with cities, the nights in rural areas seem to have been washed away, and even the moonlight becomes exceptionally bright.
On a night like this.
The outline of the battery car is clearly reflected on the cement road.
The two figures in the car were also stretched very long, as if they had crossed the constant flow of time, all the way to the end of the world.
Because.
It's late at night now.
Except for the occasional car passing by, there were no other pedestrians.
Therefore, Xu Mei did not deliberately keep a distance to make other people laugh like her wife did when riding a battery car during the day. She sat behind the battery car, wrapped her arms around Li Jianguo's waist, and pressed her cheek tightly against Li Jianguo's back.<
/p>
The sound of insects came from the grass beside the road.
A little further in the river, frogs could be heard chirping from time to time, adding a bit of excitement to this quiet night.
"What happened to your third sister?"
Li Jianguo, who was riding a battery scooter, asked with a smile.
"Haha"
Xu Mei couldn't help but chuckle twice.
Maybe she was in a good mood after giving Lao San a meal tonight. Without hesitation, Xu Mei explained, "It's nothing. It's just that Lao San did something ridiculous when he was young. Before he met Jia Zhengming, there was something wrong."
The matchmaker introduced her to a marriage, and she was quite happy with it. After meeting her twice, she ignored her father and mother's obstruction and went straight to live with her family."
Old events dating back more than 20 years were narrated by Xu Mei.
"That's nothing!"
Li Jianguo replied with a smile.
"Nothing!?"
Hearing Li Jianguo say it was nothing, Xu Mei laughed uncontrollably, and then said, "It's really nothing, but you may not have thought, haha, not only you didn't expect it, but no one thought back then that when the third child ran away to live with others, he actually saw
I fell in love with that man's brother, and the two of them secretly did that in the cornfield. Then they were caught and beaten by the man, and then they were driven back. My father and my mother were both embarrassed.
"Net"
"Ah!?"
Li Jianguo was shocked.
The front of the electric car suddenly stopped running in a straight line and instead moved irregularly. After finally calming down, Li Jianguo sighed, "I really didn't see it."
"Because it was a family scandal, the family didn't make it public, and my parents didn't let us talk nonsense. When we talked to outsiders, they always used the excuse of "incompatible personalities and frequent quarrels."
The three of them had a nickname, Chao Xiaoqin"
When talking about this nickname.
Xu Mei's face showed a silly smile that she had never shown in front of Li Mu and Li Hong.
Actually.
They were young once too.
It's just that after giving birth to children, as the children grow up, they also grow older.
As the next generation, Li Mu and Li Hong will only remember their mother's current appearance, but blur the appearance of her and Li Jianguo when they were young.
This is not a problem between Li Mu and Li Hong.
Instead, memory will choose to forget some less important things as time goes by.
Just like most children, without looking at photos, it is difficult to piece together what their parents looked like when they were young using only memory.
"To be honest, if Xiaoqin hadn't gone too far this time, I wouldn't have mentioned it."
Xu Mei thought for a moment and said, "She usually talks about my son behind my back. I know it. Even if she is very angry, I won't argue with her. But why does she talk about my daughter-in-law? Teacher Zhou married into our family and only talked with me."
Even if my son gets a marriage certificate, even if he gets married, the wedding won't even be held. Because of this, I always feel that our family has treated her badly, so no matter what, I can't let her suffer. As a junior, it's hard for my son to take action. As a mother, I
Yes, of course I will do my part to help her vent her anger."
"There's one thing I don't understand"
Li Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "Since the third child has done such a thing, why do your parents still like her so much!? They always turn to her!?"
"You don't understand this"
Xu Mei smiled and said, "Children who can scream will get milk, and children who can make mistakes are the only ones that are liked by their parents. The third child is such a dead girl."
"..."
Li Jianguo could not find a reason to refute.
"Especially her buckle! When I went out to play when I was a child, no matter whether it was corn on the cob or half a brick, she would always bring something back. If she couldn't find anything, she would also pick up a bundle of branches and come back. Anyway, she couldn't come back empty-handed."<
/p>
Xu Mei continued to talk about the third child in the Xu family, saying, "So since we were young, apart from my younger brother, my parents have liked her the most. My eldest sister and I were very good at studying when we were young, but my dad refused to let me study.
The third child was poor in studies, but she always looked forward to her daughter becoming a success, and refused to let her drop out of school. Later, the third child couldn't study anymore, so my father had to give up."
Li Jianguo did not comment.
Because in their time, this kind of thing was very common.
Every household has a bowl of water that is uneven, so it’s nothing surprising.
It’s similar to reading.
Some parents will decide whether to let their children continue studying based on their grades.
Some people decide based on which child they like. As for sending all the children in the family to school, it was a very rare thing in their time. After all, the living conditions of every family were not good, and there were so many children in the family. How could they provide for them?
Get up!?
Don't talk about their era.
Even now, if a family has five or six children, it is impossible to send each of them to college.
Talent is one thing.
The more important aspect is of course economic pressure.
Of course.
If all children have the talent to read, that would be a different story.
After all, times are progressing. Scholarships and subsidies for poor students that were not available before are now available, and you can also earn tuition by working during the summer. As long as your children are more ambitious and work harder, going to college is no longer a problem.<
/p>
What a pity.
Such a good era.
Young people of his son's generation actually refuse to be born again.
Thinking of this, Li Jianguo's heart moved.
The idea of "more children, more blessings", unique to their time, emerged irrepressibly.
His son is now married to Teacher Zhou.
His son gave him a grandson.
Teacher Zhou’s daughter naturally became his granddaughter.
Then.
The couple will definitely have another child. Doesn’t this mean that his old Li family has at least three children?
If you are a young couple, try harder.
That’s four.
Then his old Li’s house would be lively.
As for pressure.
That is his son Li Mu's business. As a grandfather, he only needs to take care of his grandchildren. Making money is his son's concern and is not within Li Jianguo's consideration.
One sentence.
If he dares to give birth to a son, he will take care of him.
Don’t ask him if you don’t have money. He is just Grandpa Li, not Grandpa Mao.
As for the big girl who called him grandpa when she came in a few days ago, Li Jianguo didn't recognize her.
So big.
It’s not flattering to look at.
"What are you thinking!?"
Xu Mei pushed Li Jianguo's lower back and asked, "I have said so much, please give me a response."
"Oh oh oh"
Li Jianguo suddenly woke up, hurriedly responded, and then said, "If you make such a fuss, aren't you afraid that your parents will be angry and not let you go home in the future!?"
"They dare"
Xu Mei said disdainfully, "Besides, I have relied on my parents since I was a child, and my husband when I grew up. Now that I am older, I rely on my son. My son is so promising and so filial. What should I be afraid of!? Who is not afraid of me? My son is my confidence.
, and my daughter is also very filial. She buys clothes and sends them back to us all year round. After giving birth to such a pair of children, others only envy me. I don’t need to envy others at all. If they don’t welcome me, I won’t welcome them.
, it’s not a big deal, whoever left whom can’t survive!? By the way, I have to send a message to my son and tell him that my mother avenged him and Teacher Zhou tonight.”
Speaking.
Xu Mei actually took out her senior phone, lowered her head and started typing seriously.
In order to allow his wife to type smoothly, Li Jianguo deliberately slowed down to make the battery car more stable.
There is some tacit understanding.
All come after decades of hard work.
The so-called mutual support is nothing more than following each other like a shadow in good times and never leaving in adversity.
Somewhat staying together.
It will take a lifetime to find the answer.
After finally sending the message, Xu Mei smiled and said, "Guess what I sent to my son!?"
"Aren't you going to slap the third child tonight!?"
Li Jianguo replied with a smile.
"Wrong"
Xu Mei patted Li Jianguo on the shoulder and said, "I let my son sleep well and try to give us a grandson or granddaughter next year. Mom helped him out when he was angry."
"Isn't this what I said?"
Li Jianguo smiled.
"I said you were wrong, you are wrong"
Xu Mei said unhappily.
"Okay! I was indeed wrong"
Li Jianguo did not make any excuses and directly compromised and admitted his mistake.
Starry.
The bright moon hanging in the sky is shining with gentle moonlight.
