Hao Tongsuo tore open the letter slipperily, pulled out the letter inside, shook it open and read it in ten lines.

"Dad, Mom, my brother is not coming back."

As soon as Hao Tongsuo's words fell, Hao's mother patted her thigh and said, "He has no conscience!" After marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting his mother, what can the old man do? ”

"Mom, what did you say?" Hao Tongsuo hurriedly said, "Brother let our whole family go to the city for the New Year." ”

"Gah!" Hao's mother still had tears on her face, which was very funny.

"My brother wrote that it was inconvenient for him to come back, so he asked us to go into the city." Hao Tongsuo explained again.

"What's inconvenient?" Hao's mother didn't understand.

"My brother said in the letter: I am afraid that the people in the village will be jealous of him and say that he is Chen Shimei, if it reaches the ears of the new daughter-in-law, how can I explain it." Hao Tongsuo looked at them worriedly after speaking.

"Old man, you're really clever." Hao Mu said with a wrinkled smile on her face.

Father Hao was silent, but his face, which had been gloomy for a few days, finally showed a smile.

Hao's mother looked at the old man and said, "What should the old man do now?" ”

"My brother also mailed us back the fare for the ride." Hao Tongsuo said positively, obviously preferring to go to the city for the New Year.

"Let's go to the city for the New Year!" Father Hao hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, he has to go to the city to see what is going on with the long lock?

"I'm not going!" Hao Yinsuo, who came in with firewood, put the firewood at the door and shouted at the inside.

"If you don't pull it down, the old lady is still begging you! And save money! Hao's mother immediately said, "You kid who can't get on the feast." ”

"Silverlock, you come in." Hao's father shouted.

Hao Yinsuo opened the curtain and stood at the door and said, "Dad, what did you tell me to do?" ”

"If you don't enter the city, you won't be a soldier!" Father Hao looked at him and said.

"Dad, you're still daydreaming! The winter conscription has long passed, what kind of soldier should you be? Hao Yinsuo looked at him with a bitter smile and said.

"You kid, can we compare ourselves to those recruits? Your brother is a man of great ability. Hao Mu is a fan of confidence said.

Hao Yinsuo looked at the two elders and said, "I'll say it one last time, even if there is a quota, I won't go." ”

"Then you'll be here in Xinghuapo, and you'll die poor." Hao's mother was angry when she heard this.

"Since you are at home, then the matter of worshipping your ancestors during the New Year will be handed over to you." Father Hao looked at him and said seriously.

"Dad, you don't need to tell me, I'll do everything at home alone." Hao Yinsuo said with a straight face.

"It's good that you are alone at home for the New Year, you have meat, white noodles to eat, and you can make dumplings." Hao's mother suddenly said jealously, "Leave ours for us." ”

Father Hao said angrily, "Can we still eat it until we come back?" It's broken early. ”

"That flour won't go bad." Hao Mu pouted and muttered.

"Mom, I can't finish that flour alone." Hao Yinsuo shook his head slightly and said, he was also helpless about his mother who was so calculating.

"Shall we go into town?" Father Hao looked at Hao Tong and said, "Go and take some of the mountain goods you picked up for your brother." ”

"Hey! I'll go. Hao Tongsuo immediately responded.

"Bring some to your brother." Hao's mother smiled and said, "Your brother was cute and ate at that time." ”

"Iron lock, go to the drying shed and lift ten catties of corn down, grind it into flour and take it away to the long lock." Father Hao commanded again.

"What do you want to do, old man?" Hao's mother immediately lowered her eyelids and said.

"There are so many of us, we can't go empty-handed!" Father Hao looked at her stingy, and said angrily, "Why don't you even understand this little bit of human sophistication, this is the first time you have seen your daughter-in-law." ”

"Why don't I understand, I'll go to our son's house, where I need to bring gifts!" Hao's mother said confidently, "Besides, the reasoning should also be that the daughter-in-law gives a gift to her in-laws." ”

"Ten catties of cornmeal is worth it, and my daughter-in-law gave me a piece of material!" Father Hao looked at her and said.

"That's what she's supposed to honor us." Hao's mother said confidently, "Why is it not worth it, I don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and I forgot about digging wild vegetables and gnawing bark in the first two years, and I haven't eaten this full meal!" He raised his voice and said, "Let's go to my son's house to eat and drink from him, that's all right." ”

"You can't make sense! Let's make a face for our son! Hao's father looked at the overwhelmed subway and locked, "Don't listen to your mother, go up and carry ten catties of corn down." ”

"You just carry things over, and the daughters of other officials' officials don't look down on you." Hao Mu said angrily.

"Courtesy is light and affection is heavy." Hao's father pointed at her with his index finger and said, "You still can't see what I mean?" Is it really in vain that many years? Why didn't Changsuo mention conscription in the letter, it must be yellow. ”

"Can't you do this? What reason is there to eat what we brought with us? Hao Mu said with a sneering face.

"Changsuo knows the situation at home, let's go to see him with things, make a face for him, don't let him be inferior in front of his daughter-in-law, and when the time comes, we will make a request, no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it." Father Hao made up his mind and said, "This time, no matter what, I have to leave one in the city and let Changsuo find a way to recruit workers." ”

"Oops! Old man, your brain is still spinning fast. Hao Mu clapped her hands and said happily.

"It's not that you are making a lot of nonsense, but now you can't hold it back, and it has become a joke for the villagers." Father Hao glared at this mouthy mother-in-law and said, "Didn't I say that I was a man with my tail between my legs?" Don't go out and talk nonsense when things aren't final. ”

Hao's mother shrunk her neck and said, "That's not for the Lao Ding family to be stimulated, then who knew that the long lock was so unreliable." He flattened his mouth and said, "Let us make a fool of ourselves." ”

"Look at how heavy the old Ding family is." Hao's father said against his will, "The recruitment procedures have been completed, and the transfer procedures have been completed." ”

"I ......," Hao Mu said playfully, "Okay, don't talk about it, I'm going to see if they get their things back?" Why don't you come one by one? ”

Hao's father arranged everything, but in fact, there was nothing to arrange, so he brought a thin gift and a few changes of clothes, left Hao Yinsuo to watch the house, and Hao's family went to the city again.

This time, the Hao family entered the city with great fanfare, and everyone in the world who couldn't wait to publicize it knew that they went to the city for the New Year.

If something good happens, he asks, "Where are you?" This big bag and small bag, the whole family goes out, stringing relatives? ”

"Yes! My son sent a letter asking us to go to the city for the New Year and meet the world. Hao Mu said with a smile on her face.

"What a good son! Take your family into the city. ”

Hao's mother smiled like a chrysanthemum blooming when she heard the words, beautiful!

"If you enter the city, you won't come back!"

"Uh......" Hao's mother's face stiffened slightly, and she didn't know what to say for a while?

Hao's father replied, "This is the root, how can you lose it!" ”

"Why don't you give up, don't you have to go to your son. Didn't your son catch the phoenix, don't you follow it! ”
