Her mother came up and said to her again: "Xiaochun, sit tight and be careful on the road. [26nbsp;]"

But his daughter still didn't call her. He knew that his daughter was influenced by her mother, and he also misunderstood her mother-in-law. This shows how much the environment affects a child.

After the daughter left, the couple went back to the third brother's house to talk. When he remembered what his daughter had just said about not being used to living with her stepfather, he couldn't help but burst into tears and burst into tears: "My Xiaochun is so miserable.

Ah, let me think about it, how sad it is."

While his mother was crying, she came to wipe his tears and advised him: "Don't cry. I told you not to leave at that time, but you insisted on leaving. It's been so many years now, why are you still crying?"

After the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Jinxuan's injuries were much better, and the scars on the wounds were gradually closing.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, several sisters and brothers-in-law came to have lunch at the second brother's house. The second sister-in-law quickly cleared away the dishes. Strangely, the whole family did not leave, even everyone in the eldest brother and the third brother's family also

He walked in cheerfully, picked up a stool and sat down.

As soon as I sat down, the whole room was filled with more than twenty people, sitting there waiting as if there was a meeting.

Li Jinxuan sat at the table with his head bowed, his heart clenched tightly and his face flushed. He knew that his family's "criticism meeting" was about to start again. This kind of battle was not the first time. He was so ashamed that he really wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.

.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent, and the room suddenly became silent. The juniors all looked at their elders with curious and nervous expressions.

"Ahem." The eldest brother spoke first, his voice neither high nor low, but full of worry, "Li Jinxuan, what are you doing now? We are all worried about you. It turns out that among us, there are so many brothers and sisters, and you are the most promising.

.You are the only one who has passed the university entrance examination, became a national employee, and had a labor-saving meal. We are all proud of you."

The eldest brother is a demobilized soldier with high abilities, but because of his upright character and bad temper, he has never been reused after he retired. Without a father, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, so he has the right and the responsibility to care about his younger brother's fate.

"But what about you now? You are even worse than us." The eldest brother said with great emotion, "We have no salary, but we have land; we have no future, but we have a family and a small business; what happened to us, and

The village and the countryside care about us; when we are sick, someone takes care of us; when we have no food to eat, we go to the private plot to pull out a handful and burn it to eat. And you

What? Now you have no employer, no salary, no family, and you are wandering alone. You can’t do business or open a company, and you don’t have a penny of income. If you get sick, who will take care of you? Who will reimburse you for medical expenses?

?Ah? You can't live anymore, who will care about you? Can Shanghai take care of you? You are really in danger now, do you know?"

Li Jinxuan's head dropped lower and lower.

"You losers who go to sea are the people who have been forgotten by society, and you are the poorest people in today's society." The elder brother said eloquently as if he was speaking at a meeting, "You are not as good as laid-off workers, they have the minimum living security; you are not as good as farmers.

, farmers have land to cultivate. Li Jinxuan, you have no roots now, just like a kite floating in the sky. If

Once the thread is broken, you still don’t know where it will drift to? Well, so I advise you, don’t insist on going your own way and resist to the end. It’s better to turn around and rein in the cliff. You’d better return to your hometown as soon as possible and go to the city to find your old man.

My classmates and old colleagues, let them help me establish a unit, find a job in a down-to-earth manner, and settle down and start a family."

Li Jinxuan really looked like a criminal who had been criticized, sitting there with his head lowered, feeling extremely embarrassed.

The second sister eagerly interjected: "How old are you this year? You are almost forty. If you keep delaying like this, you will become a monk. I will secretly tell your fortune for you, but the blind fortune teller said that if you don't change the money

If you eliminate disasters, you will have bad luck. Either your wife and children will be separated, or you will be jailed for ten years. I have already spent two hundred yuan on your behalf and asked him to make you a spell to eliminate disasters."

"Tsk, this is really nonsense, I don't believe it." Li Jinxuan smacked his lips and muttered. But when they said this, he became more and more anxious.

"Brothers, brothers and sisters, this is all for your own good." The second brother has been the village party secretary, has seen the world, and speaks clearly and eloquently, "I think it's better for you to come back and do your job. Others don't know you, and we

Don’t you know about you? What kind of person you are, what kind of food you eat, you are not a business person, you can only eat books.”

Li Jinxuan raised his head and glanced at his second brother.

"In the past, our family members all benefited from you to some extent, but what about now? My nephew, please don't take advantage of you, and you will bring trouble to the family." The second brother presented the facts and persuaded him rationally, "You can take advantage of this.

What was the use of the twenty-thousand-yuan usurious loan? Huh? It was said well at first, but then there was no news? How anxious it made us? Do you know? We couldn’t eat during the day and couldn’t sleep at night. We kept typing.

We are embarrassed to call you to urge you to return it."

"Alas -" Li Jinxuan felt ashamed, guilty, and his heart was tightly clenched.

The second brother added: "I have no choice but to piece together all the money Xiao Yong, Lihua and the others have. If it's not enough, I'll be shameless and ask Laixiang and the others to borrow money. I'll pay back this terrible loan shark for you first. The principal and interest will be added."

Together, the total is 25,685 yuan. If I don’t pay it back, who can bear the interest if it keeps rolling?”

With that said, he handed him a loan repayment voucher.

Li Jinxuan took the voucher, his hands shaking with embarrassment.

The energetic and capable second sister-in-law said quickly: "Only brothers, brothers and sisters can be so good. If it were anyone else, huh, don't eat it. Why did you, Li Jinxuan, end up like this? Because you are too honest and have a bad heart.

Too soft.”

Li Jinxuan's head lowered again.

The second sister-in-law summed it up by saying: "What kind of world is it now? A world where people eat other people! Do you know? If you don't eat him, he will eat you. Look at the people who are getting rich in today's society.

? People with copper heads and iron eyes, coal hearts, eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, and everything. What about you? Can a good gentleman, a man who eats broad beans and is afraid of noise, be able to deal with them? "

Li Jinxuan's face became redder and redder.

The eldest sister-in-law said in a sharp voice: "You Li Jinxuan are not like the youngest, dead boy. You are the little Fangqing who is in trouble and a poor scholar who was bullied, so we still think highly of you and hope you get better soon. I say openly, if that

When the dead boy came back, we ignored him. Even if he died outside, we didn't even look at him. My brother also lied to him, is he still a human being?"

The third brother is an honest man and usually doesn't say much, but now he couldn't hold back and said: "Li Jinxuan, you really need to think about it. We, brother and sister-in-law, all hope that you will not go the same way again."

It's getting dark. When the time comes, you really can't even eat anymore, who will save you? We are all farmers, and we have difficulty taking care of ourselves, how can we save you?"

When my mother heard this, she said: "Jinxuan, just listen to what my brother and sister-in-law say, ah? Don't go to Shanghai anymore, hurry up and find Dong Huibing, ask Yi to help, find a job in Shanghai.

Not everyone can survive in this place. As the satellite said, if Li Jinxuan works here, he is still a herring in the river, but if he lives in Shanghai, he is not as good as a tadpole in the sea."

"Uncle Wu, didn't you learn to be ruthless yesterday?" Xiao Yong said, "Now, everyone is grabbing money. You have to be ruthless and know how to scheme with people and engage in deceit and abduction, so that you can win over others.

"

Li Jinxuan knew that they were all well-intentioned and was very grateful, but he did not dare to agree with some of their words, but he was not qualified to refute them now, so he always kept his mouth shut and said nothing. With his stubborn personality, he still did not believe that he

It really can't succeed.

In this way, they had no choice but to leave after talking, and the "struggle and criticism meeting" once again ended without results.

Then, relatives are relatives after all. He is so stubborn, but there are still people working hard for him secretly.

On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Jinxuan was preparing to pack up and go to Shanghai, when suddenly a Santana sedan drove onto the tractor road and turned into the yard of his second brother's house.

A person came out of it. Li Jinxuan, who was standing at the door, couldn't help being surprised when he saw it: "Ah, it's Xu Huijie? Why are you here?"

"You little crab, you didn't even give me a call when you came back." Xu Huijie, who was tall and fat, was warmly welcomed into the living room by his second brother and second sister-in-law. After sitting down, he complained, "Li Jinxuan, this is wrong with you.

Yes, for so many years, you haven’t even given us a single message. Have you made a fortune in Shanghai and don’t like us anymore?”

Li Jinxuan said sheepishly: "Just kidding. How did you know I was back?"

"You didn't contact me, but someone contacted me." Xu Huijie said, "You came back during the Spring Festival and you didn't come to see me. I'm really unhappy."

Xu Huijie was his best middle school classmate. In high school, one of them was the squad leader and the other was the Youth League secretary. When the college entrance examination was resumed, the two farmers' sons, whose families were equally poor but had equally good grades, ate, lived and reviewed together. Later, they

He passed the normal school examination and was assigned to be a teacher. Later, he took two different paths. Xu Huijie started as an ordinary teacher, first as the head of the teaching and research group, then as the vice principal, and then as the principal's deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Step by step

Come up.

According to the second brother and the others, Xu Huijie’s family is very nice. There are two houses in the city and a villa built in the countryside. The family gives them so many things that they can’t eat them all. If they don’t use them all, they often take them to his sister-in-law’s shopping mall.

I went to sell it. I never used my salary and bonuses, and my family had a lot of savings. I also had a brilliant career, and there was hope of promotion.

And what about him? From a teacher to a reporter, from a reporter to going out to study, from going out to study to going to the sea, from going to the sea to falling into despair, becoming poorer and poorer, and gradually becoming the ghost he is today.

So after he went to sea, he cut off all contact with his old classmates, friends and colleagues.
