During the National Day Golden Week holiday, the weather was fine. Everyone temporarily put aside the worries of work, or invited friends to have a drink, or took their families back to the countryside to visit relatives and friends, or went on a trip to let themselves go... They all had a relaxing time

Happy Holidays.

Muyi's family also returned to the countryside of Datang to visit their parents.

I walked around Xinshi Street and looked at the businesses of my father and Brother Jun. They were both doing well. Brother Jun also said confidently that when he earned some more money, he would buy a van for transportation. In this case

, no matter it’s sunny or rainy, you can deliver feed to customers without having to worry about being exposed to the wind, rain or sun. In addition, when the truck is empty, you can also earn some “gas money” by carrying passengers.

Of course, Brother Jun still did not forget to borrow money from his eldest brother and sister-in-law. Naturally, his parents had the same idea as Brother Jun, and helped Brother Jun borrow money from Muyi's family. They seemed to have forgotten what Muyi's family owed.

Huge debt.

"Brother and sister-in-law, I heard that your wages have been raised. Your combined salary income is four to five thousand yuan a month! Just lend me twenty or thirty thousand yuan. If you can't, you can also borrow ten thousand yuan.

"

"Brother Jun, we have increased our wages. But you also know that we bought a house and renovated it with borrowed money, and now we still owe a lot of debt. In addition to the most basic expenses every month

I have saved money for living expenses and paid off my debts. I really don’t have any money to lend you.”

Hearing that his eldest brother and sister-in-law would not lend him money, Brother Jun expressed his understanding, but because objectively he did not help him, he still felt a little unhappy. He said sourly: "Then you guys take it easy.

I'm going to do some work." After saying that, he got on his motorcycle and went to do his work in a hurry.

Mu Yi, Jin Lily and Xiao Lele were left standing awkwardly by their store.

"Being a big brother should be like a big brother. As the saying goes, if the wind blows the big tree, you should go to the big brother if you have something to do. You have joined the work, have a stable income, and are conservative in droughts and floods. Sitting in the office all day, the wind does not blow, and the wind does not blow.

It's raining. It's so hard for my handsome brother to earn some money. Come in the wind and go out in the rain. You don't even have time to be friends. Although you have brought some bills, after all, there are only a few who have to pay interest.

Thousands of yuan. If you delay the repayment for a year or two, nothing will come of it. The worst thing you can do is pay off the interest at the end of the year and continue to borrow money. This handsome guy has this idea. We should all find ways to support him. Don’t you think so?

"

What their father said made Muyi and Jin Lily feel very uncomfortable. It seemed that if they didn't help Brother Jun, they wouldn't be able to act like big brothers.

"As elder brothers and sisters-in-law, you should not just live a good life for yourself. You should also consider helping your brothers and sisters." It turned out that it was my mother who brought lunch to my father.

Mother handed the lunch box to father and came to hold little Lele.

"Hey, little Lele, I haven't seen you for a while, and you've grown taller again. Come, grandma, give me a hug."

Xiao Lele looked at her grandma in horror. She shrank into Jin Lily's arms.

Jin Lily was about to hand Little Lele to her grandma for a hug. Little Lele suddenly cried "Wow". Jin Lily quickly coaxed Little Lele to stop her from crying.

When Hai Wanqiu saw that Xiao Lele wouldn't let her hug her, she was a little embarrassed in front of people on the street and felt that she couldn't save her face, so she wanted to hug Xiao Lele again.

"Be good. Little Lele, come and grandma will take you to buy candies."

Xiao Lele's newly stabilized mood collapsed again, and she cried even more sadly than before.

"Humph. Forget it. I don't want grandma to hug you. I don't want to hug you yet." I don't know if Hai Wanqiu said it out of anger or psychological talk. These words made Mu Yi and Jin Lily sound particularly harsh. Especially Jin.

Lily. She suddenly remembered all the past events again, and her psychology suddenly changed.

"Dad, Mom, you two old people are here. It's not that we don't help, we also want to help. However, we really don't have the ability at the moment. We did get some salary increases, but the family still has

We have to live, we have to pay for favors, and we live frugally. We just want to save a little, just a little. I hope to pay off the debt as soon as possible." Muyi wanted to give it to his parents.

Explain that it's not that you don't want to help, but that you are really in trouble and can't help.

The parents didn't say a word. Jin Baihe held little Lele and played aside. The little guy started laughing again. She is already ten months old, very strong, very active, and seems to want to learn to walk.

. Jin Lily put her on the ground, and she was able to stand for a while.

"Right now our home is like a growing sapling. It looks like it has a few twigs and leaves. If you are forcing us to help now, you are undoubtedly breaking our twigs and saplings.

Leaves may not seem to be of much help to you, but they have a great influence on us, even fatal. If we wait until we grow into a big tree, at that time, just break off a small branch.

, that’s more than if the whole tree was broken off now!”

Mu Yi was using an inappropriate metaphor to express his thoughts. His father picked up the meal sent by his mother and prepared to eat it. However, even though the sun was out, the food was already cold because the temperature had actually dropped.

.He took it to cousin Jin's house across the street to heat it up.

"Are you hungry? If you are, you can go back and heat it up to eat. I also want to go to the fields to take a look."

Mother's idea was that if Muyi and the others were hungry, they could go back to the house to heat up food. She wanted to go to the field to see how the winter rapeseed they planted was growing. The family had taken back the rented field for planting.

"Grandma, go and do your work. Leave us alone. We will go to her mother-in-law's house to eat later."

Jin Lily quickly told Hai Wanqiu that they would not eat here.

In fact, I don’t know when Mu Yi and his family came back to Datang, they rarely ate in Wattang. They almost always ate on Jinjia Road. Even if they went down to Wattang to play, it was just a joke, I guess.

When it was time to eat, they went back to Jinjia Avenue. Then, if they didn’t go back to the county town that day, they would stay overnight on Jinjia Avenue. The most fundamental reason for this was that only Jinjia Avenue had the bed where they lived. Watang

No.

Muyi sometimes thought about this problem. Why did it become such a state? He felt that deep down, the most basic reason may be that every time he came to Wattang, his parents and brothers complained about the difficulties of life, and then they all complained about the difficulties of life.

Are you complaining that they haven't contributed to the family? I don't know if the Wattang family selectively ignores the difficult situation faced by Mu Yi and his family, or if there is some change in their mentality. Anyway, when they arrive here, they are usually full of enthusiasm.

Come expectantly and leave unhappy.

Coupled with all the trivial matters in life, Mu Yi's family has developed a concept that does not occupy them. From Mu Yi's perspective, he also feels that there is no place to eat on Jinjia Road.

There was no shortage of food for their family of three. But after one bite in Watang, they lost one bite.

Just when a knowledge becomes a concept, this concept will become a behavior, and this behavior will become a habit over time. And once this habit is formed, it is difficult to change.

Although Mu Yi has realized that this habit will only widen the gap between his family and his parents' family, he has also tried to repair and narrow this gap, but all his efforts are fragile in reality.

It was unbearable and ineffective. In the end, he gave up this effort.

After their father had heated up the rice, Mu Yi and Jin Lily said goodbye to their father, carried little Lele on their backs, and headed back to Jin's main road.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Father asked.

"No. His mother-in-law and others are still waiting for us." Jin Lily replied.

"Dad, Mom, let's go up then." Mu Yi said.

"Oh. Then go slowly."

"Xiao Lele will come to grandma's house to play again next time."

Walking all the way to Jinjia Road, Mu Yi and Jin Lily discovered that they had not been to Datang for a while and that many houses had been built on both sides of the road.

"Dad, when did so many houses get built on both sides of the road?"

"It was repaired during this period of time."

"There shouldn't be any procedures, right? Logically speaking, it's impossible to approve so many housing construction applications at the same time."

"What kind of procedures are there? There are no procedures. Wait until the county comes to find out one day. Then pay some fines and complete the procedures."

"Aren't you afraid that the county will ask you to demolish it?"

"What are you afraid of? There are so many houses, and the law does not punish everyone. How can a well-repaired house be demolished? Have you not seen that this is also done in the county?"

"No. The county has strict management."

"What is strict? I heard that the area around the county committee, the dam under the May Day Bridge, and the area around Dahugou are all covered with houses. Even the roofs of the buildings in your commercial street are covered with

'hat'."

"Oh, yes. Even my third uncle, who is so timid, added half a floor to the roof and built two rooms."

"I don't know this yet."

"There are still many things you don't know. If you don't believe me, you can go to the roof of my third uncle's house and take a look when you get back."

After playing on Jinjia Road for a few days, it was really not that easy. Muyi and his family went back to the county seat. Before leaving, the mother-in-law brought them some meat and vegetables as usual.

Returning to the county town, as soon as I got downstairs, I met my third aunt returning.

"Hey, Xiao Lele, I went to my mother-in-law's house to play and came back."

Xiao Lele was very happy when she saw her third aunt, making babbling noises, and stretched out her little hand to let her hold her.

"Come on, come on, little Lele recognizes third aunt." After saying that, third aunt took little Lele over and everyone walked upstairs.

Arrive at the door of Mu's family.

"Xiao Lele, go to the third aunt's house and play. Third aunt will treat you to some candies."

"Ah, ah, ah ah" Xiao Lele seemed to understand.

"Brother, let's go up first. You put the things away and pick up some vegetables."

"OK."

"Pick up whatever you want. Mu Yi, don't take it. There is everything in the house. Her mother-in-law's house gave it to you, so you can keep it for yourselves."

As soon as Mu opened the door, he entered the house and put away his things. He picked up some fresh vegetables and took them up to the fifth floor. Seeing that the door of his third aunt's house was open but no one was there, he put the vegetables in the kitchen and left because he had already heard the news.

Xiao Lele's laughter came down from the top of the building.

Hurry up to the roof.

Wow! I couldn't help but let out a sigh. The roof of the building no longer looked like a roof, but more like a garden.
