Chapter 259 Wrong
The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the Xu family brothers reunite.
Before nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Shi'an and his wife brought their son back first. After a while, Xu Shixian, Xu Shide, and Xu Shixiang's family came in together.
It turned out that Xu Shide brought his wife and children to the county last night and lived at Xu Shixian's house. They drove back from the county together this morning.
The bus they took happened to pass by the Xinglong Commune. When they arrived in Xinglong, Xu Shixiang and his wife got on the bus with their daughter in their arms. The three families took the bus to Songjianghe and then went to Donggang.
"Dad, Mom, we're back.
Oh, it was really busy years ago, the unit leaders held meetings all day long, and they had to find me for many manuscripts.
That day, I received a phone call from home, and I wanted to ask for leave to come back, but the leader just refused to give me the leave. There was really no way. "Xu Shi entered the door and explained quickly.
"Isn't it? The New Year is approaching, and the county has a joint security operation, and our commune is also extremely busy, with meetings every day."
Xu Shixiang was seconded as a public security assistant from the civil affairs assistant, and now he is wearing a uniform, which is quite energetic.
"Well, our commune is also busy with year-end summarization and accounting.
It's not false to say that serving people's bowls is under the control of others.
In the last shift, I was a dead body, and I had to work hard to do anything, and the leader might not approve or not to ask for leave. "
On the other side, Xu Shide also looked helpless. Now he has been seconded to Daying Commune as an accountant and no longer teaches.
As soon as the three brothers entered the door, they didn't say anything, but first explained why they didn't come back before.
When Xu Chenghou heard it, he just snorted and didn't answer.
Zhou Guilan saw it and knew that her husband was feeling uncomfortable, so she could only cough softly, and stretched out her hand to tug at Xu Chenghou's skirt.
No matter what, the children are all back on the second day of the new year. They just walked in, so don't be too stiff.
"I know that you are all busy. If you have a job, you are like this. You are not free. It's okay, come and sit down."
Xu Chenghou remained silent, Zhou Guilan had no choice but to smile and beckon his son and daughter-in-law to come in and sit down.
"Hey, where are the third couple and the sixth? What are you doing? They're not here?"
After everyone sat down, they realized that Xu Shiyan, his wife and Xu Shiqin were not there.
When they came back at this time in previous years, the third daughter-in-law was busy in the kitchen, why didn't they see anyone today?
"Oh, Lao Liu has gone to her master's place.
Didn't you go to Han's house to pay New Year's greetings yesterday, and stayed for dinner? There is no time to see her master.
I went to Master Qin's place to pay New Year's greetings early today, and I'll be back later. "
"The youngest couple will come later. They are busy taking care of the four children. They are probably cleaning up right now."
Seeing that her husband didn't speak, Zhou Guilan could only speak.
At this moment, the Xu Shixian brothers all sensed that something was wrong.
When they came back during the Chinese New Year, the father didn't even have a smiling face, the mother didn't arrange food in the kitchen, and the younger sister and the third family were not there.
Why does this look wrong?
"Father, mother, um, is there something wrong?"
Xu Shixian hesitated and asked tentatively.
Xu Chenghou raised his eyelids to look at his son, took out the cigarette bag and pot, and knocked on the edge of the kang twice.
"Well, I have something to tell you."
Nonsense, he deliberately sent the old girl away today, and asked Zhao Jianshe to go to the third son's house, blocking the third son and his wife from going out for a while, just to settle accounts with these bastards.
"Well, when the sixth child went to the provincial capital for medical treatment, including material costs, surgery fees, and medical expenses, the total cost was 3,500 to 600 yuan.
A few days ago, the unit gave some medical subsidies, which can be seven or eight hundred yuan.
Let's see how to calculate the rest of the money. "
Xu Chenghou didn't care about that anymore, he put a bag of cigarettes on and lit it, took two puffs, and looked up at his four sons.
Originally, the old couple had discussed that they would pay for the daughter's medical treatment, instead of the son.
The sons have their own families and businesses, and they have their own homes and lives to live, and it is not easy to give their parents money and food every month.
The old couple doesn't have much to spend now, Xu Chenghou can still earn money, and the old couple are both in good shape, so they don't want to cause too much trouble to their sons.
The old couple thought of their son wholeheartedly, so what happened?
Xu Shiqin came back from the provincial capital for more than 20 days, except for Xu Shian and his wife who were here on the day of returning home, the rest of them didn't face each other.
Their own sister went out to have an operation for treatment, and when she came back, she called them specifically to tell them, but no one came back to take a look.
Xu Chenghou had been angry a long time ago, but he kept holding back his anger.
Looking at the Chinese New Year, it's not good to make a fuss.
Especially in front of the young couple, Xu Chenghou couldn't get angry.
The youngest couple really have nothing to say to the family, no matter how stupid Xu Chenghou is, he can tell the difference between good and bad.
The New Year's Eve didn't want the third son to be too worried, so he kept holding back.
At this moment, the old man really couldn't hold back anymore.
None of these bastards are good, they are all white-eyed wolves.
"In the more than three thousand yuan, the sixth child saved one thousand, and my mother and I borrowed the rest from outside.
The money returned from the medical subsidy paid off part of the famine.
For the rest, you guys have a look, how to pay the money, I have to pay it back. "
Xu Chenghou is an old man, so he wouldn't say that he and Xu Shiyan paid the money.
If so, these sons would have an excuse.
He only said that it was borrowed from outside, and the famine was caused, so it depends on what his sons say.
"As for the third child, he accompanied the sixth child to the provincial capital and was busy taking care of her. If it was delayed, she would not earn any money for two or three months.
It's not easy for him, he doesn't have a job, and he works hard all day long to earn that little money, and he can bear it if he doesn't earn money for two or three months.
So, the money will not let him out.
I don’t want too much for the four of you, just scrape together 1,600 yuan for me, and I’ll pay back the famine outside. "
You can't let the son pay for it all, so the old couple have to get some.
Xu Chenghou spoke so impeccably that the four sons were dumbfounded.
Especially Xu Shixian, Xu Shide, and Xu Shixiang. The three of them discussed on the phone in advance.
Originally, I thought it was Chinese New Year and the house was so lively that my parents would definitely not be able to mention these things.
Unexpectedly, when I came back today, this was the scene.
"Father, my little sister is going out to get medical treatment. We, as brothers, should really do our part."
As soon as Xu Shixian opened his mouth, he felt pain in the side of his waist. Needless to say, his wife secretly pinched his lower back while no one was paying attention.
"Ahem, well, I was too busy at the time, so I didn't make time for it.
This matter must be the third child. He does not go to work and is freer than us.
No matter how you say it, I really want to thank the third child, he took it all by himself. "
Xu Shixian coughed twice, changed the subject directly, and didn't dare to talk about sharing.
"Fifth, say something." Xu Shixian really didn't know what to say, and turned to look at his younger brother.
"Father, Mom, that little sister's medical treatment is serious business.
But I just bought a house, and I don't have much money. "
When Xu Shixiang saw that his elder brother had kicked the ball to him, he had no choice but to express his opinion. After thinking about it, he could only say this.
