Liu Dazhuang's family in the East Village is a famous single stick in the neighborhood, he is not tall, has a flat head, is a bit fat, and fell ill and disabled when he was a child. He also had an older brother in the family, and with his mother dying early, there were three single sticks in the house.
In the early years, his father supported the family by helping others to do short-term work, and later most of the crops were lost, and no one hired short-term workers.
However, many people in the village shook their heads when they talked about their family, and many people who had invited his family did not have a good impression.
It turned out that Liu Dazhuang and his father were a master who loved to play cards.
He is not tall, but he is strong, he does not pick food, he is working hard, as long as he eats rice, he is allowed to sneak to the village grocery store to watch people play cards, and many times, he also gets started.
One after another, no matter how reliable the old patron will not hire him for a long time, he simply gambles more, but the house is getting poorer and poorer, only Liu Dazhuang's eldest brother has read high school, and Liu Dazhuang has not even finished junior high school.
In the blink of an eye, Da Zhuang had also reached the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, but even the eldest brother's daughter-in-law had not yet shadowed.
"You have to earn your daughter-in-law back, I don't have any money..." His father took a sip of wine, and his face became rosy.
Da Zhuang pulled a bowl of rice, mixed the four seasons beans with rice, and swallowed it in a big mouthful, and the family had not seen meat for several meals.
The flower world outside quickly confused Dazhuang's eyes, although it was only a small county, but there were too many new things for Dazhuang. He also secretly had a crush on a girl, often describing their encounters to his brother. But he also knew that it was impossible.
"I'm getting married," the eldest brother said very plainly. Not long after, the eldest brother brought back a sister-in-law, and also decorated the home, and the lively wedding was done, but this marriage was strange, and it was a big strong brother who married him.
There were only two bare sticks left in the room, Da Zhuang and his father.
Although his father still went to gamble, he was old after all. Da Zhuang decided to stay by his side and take care of him.
A few years have passed, and although the days are getting better and better, the marriage of the big and strong has still not landed.
"Big, you have to marry a daughter-in-law..." His father smoked a cigarette, and his little eyes couldn't be opened.
Da Zhuang nodded.
The next day, before dawn, his father set off, and when he returned, he brought back a woman. This man has known each other for a long time and played together when he was a child. It's just that all these years of being out there, the two haven't seen each other much.
"But I don't have any money, so what should I do with the wedding?" Da Zhuang said with a sad face.
"Wrapped around me, this daughter-in-law is even if I bought it," his father said, smoking another cigarette.
It turned out that this woman was born with a disability, and his father had already paid attention to it when he was helping her family work, and he was afraid that his parents would not agree, so he never said it. Over the years, one has not yet married the other.
Until the wedding was over, Da Zhuang was still wondering, because the whole wedding, he did not pay a penny, about the money about the wine father did not talk about it, only let him rest assured to be the groom.
On the day of the wedding, Da Zhuang still couldn't help but ask: "Dad, where did you get all this money?" Haven't you all lost at the table after all these years? ”
"I'll keep the money for your daughter-in-law..." His father blushed and went to toast table to table.
"Your father, it's really not easy..." The bride sitting on the side said, "Back then, my father invited your father, and he was thinking about your marriage, but he was afraid that my father would not agree, but he just mentioned it, and the salary did not ask for ..."
"Really..." The big man's eyes gradually blurred.
He remembered his father's trembling body, carrying goods twice as tall as himself, and how many people who had refused to come to him as a matchmaker, and he watched his father shuttle between the dinner tables, as if he were back in his childhood.
He looked at the "bought" daughter-in-law, took her hand and said, "I must be good to you!" ”
