The two slowly walked to the barbecue stall and sat down. Fang Zhiqiang took the order and ordered a lot of food, and then asked the boss to serve a few bottles of beer. The two sat at the table and waited.

Fang Zhiqiang took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette himself, then took out a cigarette and handed it to Huang Wanting.

Huang Wanting shook her head and said: No, I only smoke for fun, and it will be bad if I smoke often.

Fang Zhiqiang did not force himself and put the cigarette back into the cigarette case.

It goes by so fast, tomorrow is New Year's Day, and in one month it will be Chinese New Year, and this year is just over. Fang Zhiqiang couldn't help but sigh while smoking.

It's okay, I'm numb. I've been here for many years. Whether it's New Year or festival, it seems to be the same to me, there is no difference. Huang Wanting said calmly.

You haven't been back for so many years? Fang Zhiqiang is a little surprised.

I went back once, and it was a year since I went back, and I haven’t been back since. It’s not easy to go back to celebrate the New Year. You have to start grabbing a ticket long in advance, and it’s not easy to get it. Even if you get it, it’s always crowded along the way. Our house

It’s far away. From here to my home, we have to change trains constantly. It takes two days to get home. It’s too tiring and expensive. The most important thing is that it’s not comfortable to go home. Huang Wanting shook her head.

Hearing Huang Wanting say this, Fang Zhiqiang was also a little surprised.

Do you think it's strange? If you think it's strange, it just means that your place is more civilized than ours. It may also be because you are a man. You don't think so. In our place, the patriarchal mentality is very serious.

For people like us, a daughter will sooner or later become someone else's family, a tool for carrying on the family lineage, a loser, and a loser.

If you are raising someone else's child, you are doing a loss-making business. The son is the member of your own family and is the one who carries on the family line, so the son is the most important. Our family is very poor, even in our place, our family is relatively poor.

Because my father is in poor health and has been sick, he has to take medicine all the time, and he can't do heavy work. My parents gave birth to me for the first time, and they wanted to have a son, so they gave birth to me again.

I gave birth to one child, but it turned out to be a daughter. I knew that the family’s conditions were poor and I couldn’t support him, so I didn’t want it. And because it was a daughter, I threw it away. Then I gave birth to another child. The third one finally gave birth to a son, and that was the end.

.Since I was a child, my brother has been given the food, clothing and clothing at home first. What my brother doesn’t want and can’t eat, it’s my turn. Of course, I don’t

You mean my parents are wrong, right? In short, in our village, this is basically the case. Everyone is like this, and it becomes a habit. No one will think there is anything wrong. Huang Wanting said with a smile, even if she said

She was smiling when doing these things, and there was not much sadness or resentment in her tone.

Are you going to do this now when you go back?

It's much better now, because I have made money, and the family is now supported by me alone. Of course, they have to treat me well. My brother went to high school specially, and I sent back the money for high school. I went to work.

After that, I also sent the money for my dad’s medicine. Then, my brother came home before he finished high school. He didn’t do anything and just hung around the house all day.

I had a lot of free time, and then my mother forced me to give me money to buy a tractor for my brother. I could make some money by pulling things for others in the village. Although a tractor is not expensive, it is not cheap either. My own salary is also low.

Not too high. I saved up money for two years for a second-hand tractor. After that, I started singing at nightclubs and my income was slightly higher.

Some, but my family had to build a new house because she was preparing to marry my brother, and my mother asked me for money again. In the past three years, I made a lot of money in the past three years, so I sent all of it back to build a new house.

At the beginning of this year, my family's house was built. When the house was moved, my mother called me and asked me to go back and take a look, but I didn't go back. In the middle of the year,

My mother called me again and went on a blind date with my brother. She fell in love with a girl and was planning to get married. She wanted gift money and was preparing for the wedding. After hearing this, I almost despaired. Finally, I told my mother, you too

Don't always ask me for money for this reason or that. From now on, the money I earn, in addition to my own basic living expenses, I will call you every month.

Hearing this, Fang Zhiqiang was a little speechless, and even more stunned. He felt that Huang Wanting's parents had gone too far, but they were their parents after all, and he was not very good at commenting. He just asked: What did your mother say?

My mother said yes, she was very happy, that's it. Huang Wanting spread her hands and said it, very free and easy, and she smiled when she said this, as if she was telling a joke.

Hearing this, Fang Zhiqiang also fell silent. He had always known that Huang Wanting was burdened with the burden of the family, but he did not expect that the burden was so heavy and like this.

At this time, the boss set up the barbecue with several large pots.

Fang Zhiqiang opened the beer and poured wine for himself and Huang Wanting.

However, I may have to go back before the Chinese New Year this year. Huang Wanting said.

Before the Chinese New Year? Fang Zhiqiang was a little strange. If he wanted to celebrate the New Year, he would go back to celebrate the New Year. How could he go back before the Chinese New Year?

Yes, before the Chinese New Year, my brother got married before the Chinese New Year, and I was considering whether to go back.

You should go back. My brother's marriage is such a big deal. Fang Zhiqiang advised.

I know that I should go back, but I have to wait until I get this month's salary before I can ask for leave. Otherwise, wouldn't it be meaningless for them if I go back? Huang Wanting said lightly.

Huang Wanting was talking calmly while drinking wine and eating barbecue. There was so much sadness in this simple sentence that Fang Zhiqiang could hear it.

Why don't you borrow some money from me first? Anyway, they didn't force me to pay back my money immediately. Anyway, your brother's marriage is a big event. Fang Zhiqiang thought for a while and said.

No, I have already given enough money for the wedding. This time I went back to give red envelopes. I am not stupid. After so many years, I, a daughter and a sister, have done everything I should and should not do.

I have done everything, whether it is filial piety or full righteousness, I think I have done everything in place. Now my house has been built, his car has been bought for him, and his wife has been married. From now on... from now on I will
