Li Laohan sat on the tattered wooden threshold, smoking a smouldering cigarette, a person in his 60s looked like he was 80 years old, if it were not for the national policy, it is estimated that even eating now may become a problem. If you think about the scenery of those years, but now you have such a fate, you can only say that you can't live by your own sins.
Forty years ago, when family planning was strict and the first child gave birth to a son. Then the one who hid in tibet gave birth to a second child, and the second child was still a son. It's okay to make the whole family happy.
The neighbor's old Xie family was different, giving birth to two daughters, in that patriarchal era, only the daughter of the family could not lift her head, as if she had done something wrong.
The Li family, believing that they have two sons, has long bullied the Xie family. Every day to put the two sons on the mouth, the two sons of the Li family from a young age pampered, holding in the hands for fear of falling, contained in the mouth afraid of melting, no matter what the request is agreed, so from a young age to eat lazy. The villagers can't say it yet, and if they say it, they will be scolded by his family.
There is nothing wrong with the Li family always looking for trouble for the Xie family, scolding people at every turn, saying that no one will go to the grave to sweep the grave after saying that after he dies, the ancestral incense is broken in his generation, and the mouth is extremely vicious. The Xie family was scolded, and rarely quarreled, only to go home and the wife secretly cried, hating herself for not giving birth to a son to the Xie family, at this time the husband often enlightened: "The children are the same, our daughters are good at reading, as long as we cultivate our daughters well, there will be a chance in the future, don't be sad." "
The Xie family has attached great importance to their daughter's education since childhood, and the two children have grown up in the white eyes of others since they were young, knowing that some people are very snobbish, so they study very hard. Cattle herders will read in both Chinese and English. I also work hard in school, and my life is also very frugal, and I never want my parents to worry about it.
The Li family's children did not study after graduating from junior high school, and if it were not for compulsory education, junior high school might not have graduated. After graduation, I fooled around with some fox friends every day, I didn't have money to find my parents, I mixed for a while, my parents really couldn't get the money, and then I went to the county town public car during the day as a pickpocket, and I went to be a thief at night. Ten Mile Eight Townships hated his brothers to the bone.
After a few years, the family could not go on, saw many people working in the field to earn money, they also went to Guangdong with the people in the village to work, very tired on the construction site, could not stand the pain, did not work for less than a week, and then started the old business, went to a spinning mill to steal cotton yarn, a car worth more than 100,000 yuan, was arrested, the brothers sentenced to ten years.
Ten years later, the brothers were released from prison, the older brother was 30 years old, the younger brother was 28 years old, because of his notoriety, no one wanted to marry. Can't find a wife, every day to take the parents out of anger, a word of disagreement will beat the parents, parents were beaten, neighbors to persuade the fight is also beaten together, and later the neighbors do not dare to fight.
The Li brothers could not stay at home, and then tricked a few beautiful girls into going to Dongguan, those girls arrived at the destination only to know that they were doing yellow trade, dead or alive did not agree, and finally they were threatened and intimidated by his brothers, and could only be forced into prostitution, most of the money was blackened by the brothers, and they spent a lot of money. In this way, the brothers lived a few years of drunken dreams and died happily, and in the first month of 2014, a Dongguan sweeping yellow came, and they could not stay in Dongguan anymore, so they could only run back to their hometown to hide.
The cat's days in his hometown did not come to the road, the life was not good, always looking for money everywhere fast and easy way. Later, he worked as a thug for others, went to the market to collect protection fees, gave people to guard the bar, and lived a desolate and lawless life, which was superficially beautiful for several years. But no matter how proud the brothers were, the neighbors did not interact with their families from beginning to end.
In 2018, the national anti-black crackdown began, and the good days of the Li family brothers also came to an end, their gang was a nest end, the brothers were sentenced to twelve years, and when they came out, they were about fifty years old, and this life was basically over.
On the other hand, the neighbor Xie family has a good family style, originally the sister's grades were very good, but she was sick a month before the college entrance examination, and the college entrance examination failed, if you repeat the study, you should be able to enter a good university. But because the family conditions are not good, the sister is also a high school, has been in the provincial key high school fame and fortune, in order for the sister to complete the school, and then decided to go to the Guangdong factory to work, every month in addition to leaving a little pocket money, the rest are sent back to the parents. The younger sister knew the hardships of her parents and sister, studied harder, was admitted to the 985 University, continued her studies, graduated with a doctorate at the age of 26, and later stayed at the school as a teacher. Now he is a professor.
Because of her high Chinese, my sister worked hard in the company, was trained by the focus, sent her to study, and finally became a manager. In the factory, I saw a self-motivated colleague, and later got married, and the first child born was still surnamed Xie, but the parents were very happy.
Old Man Li's health has deteriorated in recent years, coupled with his son's failure to become a tool, he has long lost the prestige of that year, and the village looks at him pitifully and has made a low guarantee for his two old mouths. The Xie family because the two daughters have an interest, built a villa for their parents in their hometown, the two daughters bought enough social security for their parents at one time, the two people have a total of more than 2,000 pensions every month, the daughter also sends living expenses to her parents every month, and from time to time she comes back to bring her children back to accompany her parents. The old couple is also helpful, and always extends the hand of friendship to those villagers who have difficulties to help and get along with the neighbors in harmony. The villagers used the two daughters of the Xie family as an example to educate their children, and the son of Old Man Li was a negative teaching material.
Old Li Tou also sat on the threshold and looked back on his life: the son is not the fault of the father, in this society, having children and daughters are the same, the most important thing is to educate the child, otherwise the child will eventually become the scum of society, harming others and harming himself. Hey, it looks like my own incense was broken in my old Li Tou generation...
