Chapter 6976: Really sensible
I don’t know how much time passed, but Dabai and Xiaohei entered the house together.
"Mother."
"Mother."
Hearing the shouts of the two sons, Yang Huamei wiped the corners of her eyes and turned around, seeing the two brothers side by side. Stand behind her.
He is fair and lean, with a ring of stubble on his face that he hasn't had time to shave off.
Xiao Hei is dark and strong. The height of the two people should be the same, but Dabai has a slight limp in one leg, so he looks half a head shorter than Xiao Hei.
"Mom is here, what's going on?"
Yang Huamei asked, it had been a long time since she had seen the two brothers standing in front of each other like this. If Shuanzi was still alive, look. How happy he must be to see this scene!
"Mom, are you hiding in the house and crying?"
The light in the room was dim, but Dabai could still see the moisture in the corners of Yang Huamei's eyes at a glance.
He came to Yang Huamei, raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of Yang Huamei's eyes, "Mom, don't cry, dad is gone, and there are still us. We stay with mom and be filial to her."
Yang Huamei’s tears welled up again, she was moved.
"Dabai, you have suffered a lot in prison, but you are really sensible..."
Yang Huamei touched Dabai's haggard face, feeling extremely distressed.
Dabai grabbed Yang Huamei's hand and smiled, "Well, during this time in prison, I gradually understood some principles of life. Before, I was really ignorant, and you were worried about me."
Yang Huamei's eyes became more and more pleased, and she nodded lovingly: "As long as you understand the truth, behave in a down-to-earth manner, and be humble and respectful to your elders, our worries will be worth it."
Dabai also nodded.
On the side, Xiao Hei opened his mouth several times and wanted to speak, but his mother and brother were talking so harmoniously that he seemed unable to get in.
Finally, my mother and brother stopped talking, and my mother looked at me kindly, and asked myself: "Xiao Hei, do you also want to say something?"
Xiao Hei nodded excitedly, took a big step forward and said, "Mom, do you know how much our family has earned after this wave of funerals when my brother and I were doing the accounting? Haha, this is a whole number! ”
Xia Hei raised five fingers and gestured He paused, his eyebrows beaming, and his facial features were squeezed and deformed with joy: "Five taels of silver, a whole five taels of silver!"
However, Yang Huamei's face suddenly sank, and the smile that had been finally exposed before was The little bit of smile disappeared in an instant.
"You bastard, what are you talking about? Do you still have any conscience? That is a funeral, your father's funeral, your father is gone! Gone!"
Yang Huamei was excited He stretched out his hand to hit Xiao Hei, but Xiao Hei was so frightened that he quickly hid behind him.
Dabai stood in the middle and tried to persuade him, "Mom, my brother actually doesn't mean what you think..."
"Did I think wrong? Or did I hear wrongly? Your father just buried you You are in a hurry to do the accounting, you are so happy after making money, you still have Conscience? Is five taels of silver more important or your father’s life?”
Yang Huamei was so angry that she brought Dabai together to scold him. At this point, Xiaohei also realized that he had said the wrong thing and thought of his father again. Come on, I stood there with my shoulders slumped and walked down.
Dabai quickly apologized to Yang Huamei, "Mom, you are overthinking. The reason why we are doing the accounting is to record all the help our relatives and friends have given to our family during this wave of funerals. Don't worry about it. How many of these are feelings, big and small, in our hearts There is a number in it, so we can follow this to return gifts for their families in the future."
"Is that really the case?" Yang Huamei looked at Dabai suspiciously. If that's the case, Dabai really is. If you have calculations and sense of proportion, you can be the master of your own business!
Dabai nodded solemnly, "Of course that's the case. As for the five taels of silver that we earned purely, we also brought it over. Please keep it safe."
Dabai seriously put a piece of silver into Yang Huamei's hand, and then pulled it Follow Xiao Hei out of the west room.
When they arrived at the door, they thoughtfully helped Yang Huamei close the west room door so that she could safely hide the money.
In Yang Huamei’s opinion, Dabai’s move was really heartwarming. She took out the pillow from the bed and dug out the pillow core. There was a handkerchief hidden inside.
There were four taels of silver wrapped in the veil.
It was supposed to be seven taels of silver. She and Shuanzi sorted it out during the last accounting a year ago.
Nearly three taels of silver were spent on the New Year. The remaining four taels of silver were originally planned to be used to buy piglets and live in the family after the New Year.
Now that Shuanzi is gone, the income from the school will definitely be cut off, and she has to plan her expenses carefully for the four taels of silver.
As for the five taels of silver sent by Dabai earlier, Yang Huamei planned to send it back to Yang Huazhong.
Because the money for the funeral was paid for by the third brother.
“Mom, it’s time to eat.”
After a while, Dabai called at the door.
"Here we come."
Yang Huamei came to the main room. Wang Hongquan, Dabai, and Xiao Hei took one side each, leaving the empty side for her.
If only Shuanzi was there, everyone would be ready, hey!
Yang Huamei suppressed the melancholy in her heart and sat down.
The food on the table is very rich, including fish and meat. These are the leftovers from the funeral banquet. It is enough to feed the family for three to five days.
Xiao Hei has a good appetite. He just picks up the bowl and eats it. All worries have to be put aside before eating.
Wang Hongquan avoided his eyes, seeming a little afraid of Yang Huamei.
But Yang Huamei knew that the old man had deliberately made this timid look, pretending to be pitiful in front of his two grandsons, but he didn't know how shrewd and calculating he was behind the scenes.
Yang Huamei didn't want to quarrel with Wang Shuanzi's father right after he was buried, so she simply chose to ignore Wang Hongquan.
"Dabai, you are the eldest son and you are sensible again. Mom has something to discuss with you."
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Xiao Hei who was choking on his meal. "As for Xiao Hei, you should also listen. After all, we are all part of the family."
Xiao Hei stared at the bowl, grabbed the chopsticks and was busy, and responded vaguely. Twice.
"Hei'er, eat slowly and don't choke." Wang Hongquan pretended to remind him, glancing secretly at Yang Huamei.
Yang Huamei pretended not to notice his little move and took out the five taels of silver that Dabai had sent over before and put it on the table.
"We can't accept these five taels of silver."
"Why, mother?"
Xiao Hei suddenly raised his head and asked, because he asked too urgently, The food in his mouth spurted out and splashed into the vegetable bowl in front of him.
Dabai frowned slightly, but reached out and handed over a handkerchief, "Here, wipe it."
"Brother, you are so kind." Xiaohei took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth again. Eating like crazy.
Yang Huamei saw the actions of the brothers and was secretly pleased.
So, his voice became a little softer: "That's what I thought. Something happened to your father a few days ago. I was so upset that I was completely confused. It was necessary to prepare for the funeral. The money was advanced by your third uncle..."
