Opening his mouth, Xu Jiale wanted to say something else.
It can be seen that his aunt, uncle, and his mother were all looking at him, and he had no choice but to hold back everything he wanted to say.
Return to my hometown.
You basically don’t need Li Mu’s help.
When the weather was nice two days ago, Xu Mei had already taken down the quilt upstairs and dried it in the sun.
Li Mu's father has prepared everything for the new year, so there is no need for Li Mu to worry about it. Even for the mutton soup that Ran Ran clamored for every year, Li Jianguo also bought a sheep and asked someone to slaughter it.
Half past eleven.
The family sat around a small round table and started having lunch.
No matter how many dishes he cooked at noon, Grandpa Li Mu, Li Taihang, would still grab a handful of peanuts and peel them while drinking. He also drank very slowly, taking a sip every time, as if he could feel the taste of the wine with this small sip.
Long.
This kind of eating habit probably means there was nothing to eat at home.
So I deliberately eat slowly so that my child can eat more.
Generally, elderly people behave like this when eating, and even Grandpa Li Mu is no exception.
Compared with previous years.
After entering the new year this year, the smiles on the faces of the old couple have never stopped, because the life event of the eldest grandson of Lao Li's family has finally been completed.
In fact, as an old man in his eighties.
Naturally, they understand that their children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and they can't control so much. It's not easy for them to not get sick or cause trouble to their children, but even so, they should worry a lot.
"Grandpa, eat less peanuts and more vegetables"
Li Mu picked up a piece of braised pork for his grandfather.
His grandfather is still in good health. For such an old age, he doesn’t have any high standards, and he doesn’t have any food taboos.
"Eat more and you will lose weight while working outside"
Li Taixing looked at his grandson with a kind face.
Where did Li Mu lose weight!?
Since Teacher Zhou became pregnant, the chicken soup that she drank endlessly went into Li Mu's stomach.
After a few months, Li Mu, who never drank beer, actually had a slight belly. In the words of Teacher Zhou, "It's not five months, but at least three and a half months."
But Li Mu didn't care about these things.
After all, becoming fat after marriage is a process that most men need to go through.
If you get thinner and thinner after getting married, others will think that Teacher Zhou... will attract people.
After picking up a piece of braised pork for his grandfather, Li Mu placed some tofu in the middle of the table in front of his grandma. His grandma didn't like greasy food, but she liked tofu. Occasionally, his mother would buy a piece at home and cut some coriander.
Pour some more soy sauce and you can serve it as a dish.
For children and grandchildren.
It is a kind of happiness to have your elders in good health.
"Brother, how much is the dividend this year!?"
Chinese people seem to like to ask this question, and so does Li Mu’s sister Li Hong.
"More than six hundred thousand"
Li Mu simply replied.
"So many!?"
Li Hong looked shocked and said, "How much are the year-end bonuses for ordinary employees in your company!?"
"Forty to fifty thousand!"
Li Mu thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "What, are you going to work in our company!?"
"Where to go"
Before Li Hong could say anything, Xu Mei became unhappy and said, "As long as you cause trouble to your brother, you can just stay and work in the weaving factory."
It can be seen from these words.
Xu Mei loves her son more than her daughter.
No way.
This is a common problem among most rural people and is also a tradition.
Of course.
If it weren't for the fact that many old people now have pensions and the cost of raising a son for young people is too high, this tradition will continue and will not be suddenly reversed in recent years.
In rural areas, there is a saying that sons can enhance your appearance.
The more sons you have, the stronger your reputation will be.
In fact, this was all caused by the fact that families without sons were often bullied by others. Similar to conflicts between two families, the family with more sons had an advantage. The key factor was that at that time, all the children had to do was raise them.
In today's society, one son gets married.
It's like peeling off a layer of skin from the old couple. The house, car, and betrothal gifts, some of which have already been negotiated, were temporarily increased during the wedding process.
And these things seem to be on the table now.
Without the two rigid standards of a house and a car, even matchmakers would not come to propose marriage.
"Mom"
Li Hong smiled and said, "I didn't say anything, why are you so anxious?"
"You're not allowed to go anyway"
Xu Mei replied decisively, then changed her tone and explained, "It doesn't matter if you have a degree, but you don't know anything when you go there, so why should your brother drop what he is doing and teach you exclusively!?
”
"No, no, no"
Li Hong said helplessly.
"It's really not easy to do"
Li Mu smiled and replied, "But the front desk is fine, but the salary is less, more than 6,000 a month."
As a biological brother.
Naturally, Li Mu doesn't want his sister to work two shifts, and she doesn't have a job during holidays.
But this matter is really beyond the scope of Li Mu's ability. It doesn't matter if he briefly introduces the job. The key point is that his sister's current salary is more than 10,000 yuan a month. Although it is harder, let her change to a job of 5,000 to 6,000 yuan.
, she really doesn’t necessarily do it.
It's not necessarily that he would do it. If he only had one son, or if the younger son was a girl, Li Mu estimated that his sister would have changed jobs long ago, and there would be no need to work so hard. But after giving birth to two sons, making money would naturally be the first priority. After all, Xu Jiale
I am thirteen years old this year, and in a few years I will be old enough to spend a lot of money. Four years of college will cost at least hundreds of thousands. After graduating from college, I will be of age to talk about marriage, and it will be a big expense.<
/p>
In total, it’s not even one million, but hundreds of thousands more.
After worrying about my eldest son, my younger son has grown up again. It’s almost endless.
Sure enough.
When Li Mu said it was only more than 6,000, Li Hong immediately shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll wait until your nephews get married, and then I'll work as a receptionist in your company!"
"Haha"
Li Mu smiled.
She didn't say that when her nephews got married, she was already in her 50s and 60s, so she still had to be a receptionist and take care of her grandson at home!
Modern society.
If an ordinary person wants to live a more comfortable life, not getting married is indeed a good choice. If he has the money to buy a house and a car, a beautiful female technician can exchange it for hundreds or even thousands. At worst, when he gets older, he can find someone taller.
Place...it only takes a moment, so if a person doesn't want to change his destiny through his own efforts, and wants to be comfortable, this method may not be an option. The premise is that he can bear the loneliness and watch other people's family's hands.
I can hold hands without feeling envious.
You have to walk your own road.
As long as you don’t regret it.
But one thing is certain, any life that you have not experienced, you will start to regret it one day in the future, without exception.
This evening.
The three brothers insist on sleeping together.
Li Mu saw that the three people had such a good relationship, so he just let them squeeze into the same bed.
Unexpectedly.
Early the next morning, all three of them caught colds. After getting up, their noses were filled with runny noses. Each of the three brothers held a pack of tissue paper and wiped their noses back and forth.
