I went home on May Day and walked around my relatives again. Last year, during the Chinese New Year, my parents went to my sister's house in other places for the New Year, and our family did not return to our hometown. This May Day just happened to go to a relative's house for a walk.
After walking around, I finally went to my aunt's house. It's my father's brother's house. The yard right in front of my father's house. Uncle died of illness at an early age. Now my aunt lives with my cousin. My cousin has a formal job, but he is a mother's boy, he listens to his aunt in everything, he is divorced, and now he is single. Because of this, the eldest aunt often talked about orphans and widows to win sympathy.
If you want to say that I don't want to go to this aunt's house, I don't want to go to a hundred. However, her parents always take care of her deceased uncle, so she should always be watched. My husband and I bought a case of beer and a case of drinks, but my husband didn't go, I went by myself. Sure enough, the eldest aunt's eyes are not eyes, her nose is not nose, she speaks yin and yang, and scolds!
He has 6 siblings. The uncle is the eldest, then the eldest aunt, and then the second aunt. Then there is the father, the third aunt and the old aunt.
The uncle and the father are not quite like the two brothers. Uncle is tall, white and handsome! My father was short and reddish-faced. The uncle has a good mouth, but the father has a stupid mouth. Therefore, grandparents also prefer Uncle more.
Uncle is a good learner and writes beautifully. At that time, the uncle followed many people in the same village to become soldiers. After demobilization, he got a good job. Grandparents don't mention how happy they are, thinking that they can have a good life with their uncle.
But how can the uncle marry his daughter-in-law and forget his mother, and listen to the aunt for everything. The eldest aunt is also a bitter, unreasonable and unfilial master. How can you want grandparents? Since the uncle and the aunt got married, they have built their own houses and lived separately.
If you want to say that this person has to have a good mouth, and the eldest aunt is poor, that is a beautiful thing to say. The people in the village still think that the eldest aunt is very filial.
His father studied until he graduated from high school, and then married his mother. Mother is kind-hearted and gentle-natured. Grandparents have always lived with their parents.
At that time, the family was having a hard time, and they lacked clothes and food, and it happened that my grandmother was sick again. My father's salary was not enough to buy medicine for my grandmother. There are frequent interruptions in the house. Even then, the eldest aunt didn't say anything about bringing a bite to eat. They eat well, often eat rice and white noodles, and they all eat them secretly at home. On two occasions, when I went to her house, my aunt saw me and hid my food in the cupboard.
The aunt has a good life because the uncle has a good job. I look down on others. There is a saying: the eyes grow to the brain, and the eldest aunt is that kind of person. Special arrogance, power.
Later, my father and mother made their own business, and our family moved to town. The family's land is planted every spring, and my father hires someone to plant it, and then I have to take care of it with my mother on a motorcycle. At the time of the autumn harvest, they will hire someone to harvest.
Later, the uncle got into an accident on a motorcycle after drinking and fell into a hemiplegia. Paralysed to the kang. Life at home has plummeted.
This time, my aunt's eyes returned to their places from the brain, and she saw my house. When I went to the town, I found my house and told my father and mother: Let her plant the land of the six members of the family. When we get food, we will definitely have enough food to eat.
Parents look at the uncle like that, they are a family. I just agreed. In this way, the land was planted in the hands of the eldest aunt for more than ten years.
Since the land was in the hands of the great aunt. Every year after the autumn harvest, her father and mother never asked her for food, and she always said that the price of fertilizer and seeds had risen, and she had not sold them for a few dollars in a year. Mother knows the temperament of the eldest aunt, so she smiles and doesn't speak.
Within a few years, the uncle passed away. At that time, the eldest aunt found her father and said: There is no money in the family, and my father has made money in business, so I asked my father to help pay for the funeral. Anyway, it's all a family, so take pity on her.
In the end, the uncle's funeral was organized by his parents, and after that, the aunt's house was built, and the cousin married the second and third wives, built the courtyard wall, and changed the gate. They all came to their parents to ask for money. If you don't give it, you will sprinkle and roll. While crying, he said: Uncle is gone, and my brother doesn't help if he has money. Bully them, a bunch of scolding for this and that. Parents don't want others to see jokes, so they keep helping.
No, my brother-in-law gave birth to a second child, my mother had to take care of the confinement child, I wanted to bring some millet, the land was in the hands of my aunt, and I didn't give a grain for so many years, so my mother had to go to the market to buy some.
My mother wanted to find someone in the village to buy it, and the millet she grew at home was delicious. I just happened to run into my aunt. The eldest aunt was quite enthusiastic when she saw her mother.
After knowing that his mother wanted to buy millet, he hurriedly said that he would eat what she sold. I don't count more than my mother, and I count 6 yuan per catty. Give her 60 yuan for 10 pounds. The mother didn't want to deal with her, so she gave her the money and left. Actually, we have 5 yuan a pound of millet on our side. She asked for more than she wanted. When I got home, my father was also angry enough, and the land had been planted in vain for so many years......
Last year, people from other places wanted to contract the land in our village to grow rice. In this way, the eldest aunt naturally couldn't stop and refuse to give it. If people want to land the land, it is better for each family to give money.
The two pieces of land in my father's house are adjacent to my aunt's house, and my aunt went to move Guan Shishi early, because her family has more land and more money.
My father felt that it was wrong based on his impression, so he found the village chief and re-measured it before finding it back. The eldest aunt still pays the bill. and spoke of her orphans and widows. This time her parents didn't get used to her. After this incident, the relationship was a bit stiff. But the mother is soft-hearted, that's it, and the mother should be the same.
For so many years, my mother told us three sisters and brothers that the affairs between adults have nothing to do with us. You should take a look at it during the holidays. It's not going back. We gave four gifts to several aunts, aunts, and uncles, plus a bag of rice.
My aunt didn't want to go, I had two cousins and a cousin. They also never buy gifts for their parents. So, I told my husband that I would buy two things for my aunt this year. I'm going to deliver it alone.
No, I'll leave when the thing arrives. My aunt chased after me and cursed. Say I'm embarrassed to take that little stuff? Who's stumbling? Are you short of those two hundred dollars?
I was angry, and I went back to get the two boxes back, and she scolded me: I have no respect for the elders! Unfilial! I didn't hear it, I decided not to go to her house again. She just saw my mother as a bully, and she was used to bullying.
