Chapter 7125: Filial Son
When asked about this, Dabai smiled and rubbed his hands, looking honest and honest.
“Actually, it’s nothing, it’s just that some people are selling goods, but they’re not selling to the right place, so I’ll help sell them together and take a commission from them.”
Yang Huamei asked a few more questions , she was a layman on the business side, and Dabai was vague about it.
Anyway, Yang Huamei went back and forth and only wanted to make sure of one thing, that is, Dabai was serious about doing business.
"How long can you stay at home this time?" Yang Huamei asked again.
Dabai thought for a moment, "Originally I planned to stay for two or three days before leaving. Isn't this just in time for spring plowing? I thought about helping with farm work at home for a few days before leaving. That way, mother Take it easy with your brother. "
Yang Huamei's eyes turned red again because of Dabai's thoughtfulness.
“It’s okay, there isn’t much work at home, your brother and I can handle it.”
“Just focus on doing business outside, and don’t worry about the family.”< br>
Dabai said: "Okay."
"By the way, mother, where has my father been? I haven't seen him for a long time since I came back?"
When Wang Hongquan was mentioned, Yang Huamei's face The smile disappeared.
“I was about to tell you, we are splitting up.”
“What? Splitting up? How?”
"Your father lived alone in the old house at the back."
"What? The old house?"
"Well, they are the two houses where your father lived before he was alive. They are called Your young grandfather and several cousins helped clean it up, and your father moved in. "
Dabai looked shocked. He knew that the relationship between mother and father was not good, but he didn't expect to be away for more than ten days. We separated when we came back.
"Mom, isn't this good? My father is getting old and there is no one around to take care of him. It is inconvenient to cook and do laundry..."
Yang Huamei could tell that Dabai was sincere when he said this.
Although he and his father-in-law don't get along well, Dabai is his grandson after all, and the feelings between grandson and grandson are there.
"Dabai, mother can't help you, but mother is really helpless."
Yang Huamei raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes.
“It’s not easy for your father and I to live under the same roof. In the past, your father was sandwiched between us.”
"Your father is gone, and we, son-in-law and son-in-law, are still living together. We have to quarrel every day, which is not good for anyone."
"It is your father's own choice to live in the old house in the backyard. We There was no argument or quarrel, we just packed up and moved here. We have been here for three or four days. "
"His. I'll wash his clothes, and I'll be happy to give him his food. As long as he doesn't live under the same roof, and doesn't go in and out of the same yard, I'll accept it. You, don't blame mother, there's nothing you can do about it. "
Seeing Yang Huamei turn her head and cry, Dabai squatted aside and could do nothing but sigh.
After being silent for a long time, Dabai said to Yang Huamei: "The points have been divided, so I won't say anything. Let everyone live a good life in the future."
"I'm going to the old house in the backyard to see my father."
"Well, let's go."
In the old house in the backyard, there are two lonely adobe houses with thatched roofs.
There is a small yard surrounded by a fence in front of the house, and two or three chickens are clucking in the yard.
In front of the thin wooden door, there was a small bamboo chair with a backrest. Dabai recognized it at a glance as the one that his father used to have next to his bed, but the bamboo chair was empty and no one was there. .
Dabai entered the yard and called me twice.
A voice came from behind the house, "Which one is it?"
Wang Hongquan moved over, his sleeves rolled up to his arms, and he was holding a dung fork in his hand.
Seeing Dabai, Wang Hongquan became excited, and the muscles on his face twitched.
"Ah, my precious grandson, are you back?" He dropped his dung fork and stretched out his hands to welcome Dabai, who was trembling.
The moment Dabai saw Wang Hongquan, he wanted to go over and help him, but when he saw the dung fork that Wang Hongquan had thrown on the ground, as well as the black things and straw crumbs stuck to the dung fork, Dabai hesitated.
However, Wang Hongquan had already arrived in front of him, hugged him, and slapped Dabai's strong back hard.
“My eldest grandson is back. I miss you so much!”
Dabai stiffened for a moment, then smiled, and quietly walked away from Wang Hongquan’s warm arms. Withdrew.
"Master, what are you busy with?"
"Ha, I'm busy putting up firewood!"
Posting firewood? Dabai didn’t quite understand for a moment.
“Here, let me show you.”
Wang Hongquan took Dabai’s hand and walked towards the back of the house.
Dabai glanced at his hand, and suddenly he didn't want it anymore, from his fingers to his arms.
“Look, this is what I posted.”
Wang Hongquan pulled Dabai to the back of the house and pointed at the piles of feces and broken straw on the yellow mud wall. crumbs, as if showing off his military medals.
“Look, over there is pig dung cake, here is dog dung cake, and here are some cow dung cakes. In order to grab these cow dung cakes, your father and I almost got into a fight with a few old men in the village. "
Dabai felt uncomfortable all over, and his breathing almost stopped.
"Sir, why are you putting these things on the wall? They stink."
Wang Hongquan stared, "Why do they stink? These are all treasures!"
"I don't know how good it will be when it's dried and burned with firewood."
"Also, how many days will it take? Yue Hongmei has raised a baby. When the time comes to dry diapers and clothes for the baby, if it’s cloudy and rainy, why don’t you rely on the stove? "
"I saved all this firewood for you. When it’s dry and crispy, you can just break off a few pieces over a fire. “
Wang Hongquan spoke with saliva flying around and his expression was in high spirits, but Dabai felt the hair on his body stand on end and wished he could leave here as soon as possible.
"Master, you should be busy first, I'm going back to the front yard."
Originally, I thought that I would be lonely after the family was separated, but he felt a little compassion and came here. have a look.
Unexpectedly, the old man was very busy. It seemed that he was overthinking.
“Why are you in such a hurry to leave before you even enter the house? Why should you go in and sit with me for a while!”
"Master, I..."
"I won't get rid of the firewood for now. Come on, let me accompany you into the house to drink tea and talk."
Wang Hongquan couldn't help but pull his baby. The eldest grandson entered the house.
You can even imagine what the house of an old bachelor is like with your eyes covered.
Even though Yang Huamei would come here every day to pick up the dirty clothes for washing, and the meals would be delivered directly to her, as soon as she entered the room, she could smell the pungent smell of urine mixed with the smell of dry tobacco.
"Come, drink tea."
Wang Hongquan poured a bowl of tea for Dabai, then pulled up a stool and sat down. There was a sense of freedom in his demeanor that he was the master of the house again.
Dabai couldn’t drink this tea because his fingernails were full of black stuff and he poured the tea without washing his hands.
"Master, I'm not thirsty, I just came to see you." Dabai said.
Wang Hongquan nodded, "When did you get home?"
"I just got home." Dabai said, looking around, feeling a little ashamed: "Master, I didn't know that your families were separated..."
