Chapter 26
Du Family
At the same time, Du Weihai sneezed violently several times, but he didn’t take it seriously. He probably never dreamed that his proud daughter would throw a big pot at him from a distance.
He is now in shock and joy brought to him by his daughter, because his daughter said that the factory has allocated her a house with a yard.
My goodness, he worked hard for half his life and only got three rooms, while his daughter got a yard after just one month of work.
You have to know that when the housing was distributed, he was just a second-level worker, and he was able to get three rooms only after racking his brains and trying every possible means.
As a result, he was turned into ashes in seconds by his daughter. However, he was not ashamed of it, but proud of it.
Moreover, all the leaders of the factory live in that area of the yard. Does that mean his daughter will also become a leader in the future?
“Let’s move there with our whole family!” Du Yi dreamed that the whole family was looking at her with bright eyes, and she said with a smile.
She had never thought of moving there alone and letting her family squeeze in here. She couldn’t be so selfish.
“That’s great…” The fifth brother just shouted out three words in his loud voice, but was covered by the fourth brother’s hand.
In fact, the fourth child was also very excited, but he always remembered what his father said, that he should keep the benefits hidden to avoid being snatched away by others out of jealousy.
Even the shy third child couldn’t help but smile. He lived in the same room with Du Yidong, and he had long been fed up with Du Yidong’s stinky feet.
The key point is that he didn’t dare to say it. After all, he was his brother and there was no need for a reason to beat him.
Du’s mother was in a dilemma. She dreamed of moving to a bigger house. After all, it was too crowded for a family of seven to live here. But the house was allocated to Dameng by the factory.
What if, while living there, those brats take it for granted that the house is theirs? That would be unfair to Da Meng.
“Mom, we are moving to a bigger house. Aren’t you happy?” Du Yi dreamed that her mother was not happy but looked worried. She asked in confusion.
Her mother was not a person who would spoil the fun. For example, she had just brought back two cans of beef. Although her mother put them away, she was still happy for a long time.
“Da Meng, what if your brothers live there for too long and the house is taken away by them?” Du’s mother asked worriedly.
The Third Brother: …
Old Four: …
Old Five: …
Even the second son Du Yidonggang, who just returned, was shot. As their mother, she never hesitates when complaining about her own son.
“Mom, don’t worry. The four of them together are no match for me. Let’s make a deal first. Whoever gets married will have to move out of my house. Whoever dares to take my house, I will break his legs.” As Du Yimeng spoke, his eyes swept over the Du brothers, including Du Yidong who was standing at the door with a confused look on his face.
She still had a faint smile on her face, but several people still shook subconsciously.
Du Weihai on the side nodded with satisfaction. Dameng was like him in every way, even the little look that looked like a sinister person was very much like him.
“Did you guys hear what your sister said?” Mother Du swept a fierce look over the four brothers of the Du family.
Every little chicken was pecking at rice, and even Du Yidong, who had a confused look on his face, was forced to nod his head, just because his fucking expression was too scary.
Du Yidong was full of questions now, he had no idea what was going on. When he first entered the house, he heard his mother talking about where to live, what to rob, and whose leg his sister was going to break?
When he learned the truth, his face was full of conflict. On the way back just now, he was still fantasizing that his life after marriage would be wonderful.
But he suddenly felt that he had just come of age and should not rush into marriage. He was still an apprentice, earning 15 yuan a month, which was good enough for him to support himself, so how could he support his family?
As for the big house, he didn’t care, he just wanted to feel what it was like to live in a big house.
“Who told you to buy these things? I was wondering why Da Meng bought a basket of wild grapes last time. It turns out it was you, a bad boy, who instigated it.” When Du’s mother turned around, she saw a basket of wild grapes at Du Yidonggang’s feet. Her blood pressure soared.
“You prodigal son…” Du’s mother looked around for her weapon, the feather duster, and at this moment Du Yimeng spoke.
“Mom, I asked Xiaodong to buy it.” While speaking, Du Yimeng cast an apologetic look at Du Yidonggang.
Why did her mother react so strongly this time?
She remembered that the last time she came back from buying wild grapes, Du’s mother’s face was just a little unhappy, and she was not so angry.
Mother Du: She wanted to take advantage of the situation but couldn’t, so she was so angry…
She knew that Dameng didn’t buy these wild grapes to eat, but that was why she felt sad.
The last time, Daming moved those wild grapes into the house, I never saw him take them out again.
For this reason, she would occasionally lie down at the door of Dameng to smell whether there was any smell of rotten grapes.
As for why she didn’t go in to see, her daughter had grown up and needed her own private space. Even if she was her own daughter, she couldn’t lose her sense of propriety.
Besides, her son Daming is a technician in the machinery factory after all. If a drawing is lost or something, and the superiors blame him, Daming will be the one to suffer.
Not only would she not enter Dameng’s room at will, she would not let anyone else in. Even if she went out, she would lock Dameng’s room with a lock.
“What are you all standing here for? The food is getting cold. Don’t you want to eat?” Du’s mother was reluctant to get angry with Du Yimeng, so she could only direct her anger at the father and his five sons.
Du Weihai: …
The four brothers of the Du family: …
The Du family’s dinner consisted of steamed buns made from two grams of flour, corn porridge, a large bowl of cabbage and a plate of braised beef in soy sauce. Du Weihai bought the braised beef himself at the delicatessen after get off work.
For the Du family in the past, this plate of braised beef could only be eaten by each person on the salary-paying day every month. Today, it is still a rare treat, but the greed for it is no longer there as before.
After dinner, the four brothers of the Du family were busy by the sink. Tonight they not only had to wash the pots and dishes, but also helped Du Yimeng wash the grapes.
Du Yimeng handed over all his salary and tickets, but his mother only took 20 yuan and half of the tickets.
“Da Meng, you are a grown-up girl now. Think more about yourself. It will be difficult for you to save some money for yourself after you get married.” Du’s mother advised earnestly. The dozen or so dollars that Daming had saved before should have been almost spent!
Fortunately, she had kept the fact that Dameng was a spendthrift a secret, otherwise, she wouldn’t know how outsiders would frame Dameng.
Even about the wild grapes she bought before Dameng, she said it was because she liked to eat sour grapes. But someone actually asked her if she was pregnant with her sixth child, and was very sure that it was a son.
She felt that these words were the most vicious curse in the world. Others might not know, but how could she not know that her husband had been sterilized a long time ago, so there was no way she could get pregnant.
well……
Tomorrow she will have to explain her love of sour grapes to others again…
“It’s quite difficult…” Du Weihai nodded in agreement. After being married for more than 20 years, he still couldn’t save even two dollars of pocket money. How pitiful.
Du’s mother turned her head and looked at Du Weihai with a gloomy gaze. She felt that he was making innuendos and she had evidence.
Du Weihai: He was confused. He agreed with what she said, so why did she still look at him like that?
