Duan's family is not having a very happy New Year.
When the guests came and went, I saw the second master standing there with the younger generation, but the elder master did not see anyone. Seeing Duan Haoshou standing there, he tugged at him and asked: "Dare to ask if your father has gone out to make a fortune again? "
Everyone knows that the great master once did business in the south. This is also the family history of the Duan family, and he will come out and talk about it from time to time. Some of the guests thought that the old man must have gone out to make a lot of money again, and some guests who knew him well complained to Duan Haoshou: "Your father has a way to make money and he won't tell me! I'm the one with him. Good friends!"
Duan Haoshou stiffened his face and said dryly that his father was caught in the wind and was in the process of self-cultivation and could not come out to meet guests. Forgive me.
When the guest heard, oh, it turned out to be sick, then I'm going to visit.
Where does Duan Haoshou dare to let people see the big master? Then can't he hide the fact that he is paralyzed? No need to connect, no need. When he said that, others naturally didn't believe that the old man was sick. Duan Haoshou listened to the gossip of the guests outside, his face was black with anger but there was nothing he could do. He also couldn't shut up the guests' mouths, nor could he lead the good old master out to be seen by others, he could only let others talk.
Although the old lady can come out to meet people, her face is still not very good. The female relatives who came to visit during the Chinese New Year saw her and persuaded her to rest more.
"Your grandson has married a daughter-in-law. It's time to take a break. If you have something to do, tell the juniors to do it. Just watch from above and don't let them make mistakes."
The second wife said yes, yes.
The eldest wife was so angry that she had to thank the guests for their kindness.
Some of the visiting female family members heard that the old man was away from home during the New Year and went outside to make a fortune. Most of these people have friendships with the Duan family, and most of them are in business. Some female relatives who usually know the eldest wife secretly asked her where the eldest master went to get rich? I also wanted to share a piece of the pie. I couldn't ask outside from Duan Haoshou, so I wanted to ask my wife.
The eldest wife could only smile and said with a stiff face: "He didn't go out. He caught a cold a few days ago, and he is still drinking medicine."
But outsiders say that the eldest master is going out to make money. She just said that a hundred times when people are at home, no one believes that they are sick. In the end, the year is not over, but some people say that the old man is not righteous, and the world's money can't be made by one person? Not at home during the New Year must be a big business. He didn't find his relatives and friends to make this money together. This person eats alone, which is too bad.
The Dafang family was in trouble, so they just managed to survive the year.
After the New Year, the old lady said that he asked the second master to quickly take care of the things in the shop. Duan Haoshou was still young. There was a big master in the past. It doesn't matter what he does, he can't talk, and he doesn't have relations with others. It's okay, but now the big master is down, he alone can't let him take care of the shop alone, and there is not enough money to ruin him. The second master is an elder, and he is more sleek than him. Although he likes to hug things at his own house, but the old master feels that he can watch by himself, he doesn't dare to go too far.
The old man’s illness cannot be spread, after all, all the businesses in the past these years only recognize the old man. No matter how old the old lady entrusts him, he also knows that he is old, and the family listens to him, but it does not mean that people outside also believe him. Before the second master took the shop, if the big master's affairs were to be known to outsiders, I'm afraid the reputation of Duan's shop would plummet.
This matter, Duan Haoshou, was useless when it came to the horizon. The old lady cried a few times at the old lady's side and was told to rush back. The second master happily gave Duan Haofeng to the shop immediately, what he said a few years ago, the master refused to let Haofeng go there, and would rather give him a share of money, which is very nice.
"They are all children of my own family. How can I, an uncle, not love him?"
It hurts him a lot, the money is given, and he doesn't have to go to work. Haofeng, a silly boy, is still happy, not doing work for nothing, how great!
This time he heard that he was going to go to the shop and he had a bitter face. The second master hit him a few times with hatred, and cursed: "You have to die in the shop if you die! You wait! If you dare not go again, I'll kill you!" He said while turning to find the stick. Seeing that the second wife didn't help him this time, Haofeng said with a grieved expression: "Okay! I'll go, can't I go? Dad, don't come over!"
Duan Haoshou saw that even Haofeng had been sent by the second room, and he looked down on Changxing, so he still went to find Duan Haofang and told the old man that he wanted him to go to the shop to help him.
He said: "The third brother is capable. You know this grandfather. I think he should still help me. I used to say that he was allowed to accompany the second sister at home. Changyuan ran all the way and he should also go to the shop. Go check it out."
He thought it would work if he talked to the old lady, but the old lady said: "I think there are enough people in the shop. Before your father watched you, Haofang was just a handyman and couldn't do much work. Now that your second uncle is here, your fourth brother is here, isn’t Changxing also here? Enough, no matter how much it is, it’s time to fight."
Duan Haoshou didn't expect it to be like this. He came back and sat in front of the old lady's hospital bed and complained, saying that it was because the old old master made Duan Haofang too useless, otherwise the old lady would not ignore him.
The eldest wife supported the sick body for a year, and went back to the house to lie down as soon as there were no guests. Even the daily meals were eaten by Dong Fangyun. After hearing Duan Haoshou's words, she coughed twice and said with difficulty: "Haoshou, your father was for you too! How could you say that?"
Duan Haoshou's complexion was not good. He stood up stiffly and sinned against the old lady. When he sat down again, the old lady said to him, "Now we rely on you in our house. Second, that family has taken this home! Your father and I are counting on you!"
The eldest wife and the second wife quarreled for a lifetime. After the eldest master came back a few years of comfort, he never knew that he was getting old but let the second room stand in front. The eldest man seemed to be not getting better, she could only rely on Duan Haoshou in the future. She looked at her son and hoped that he could give her a good word, so that she could rest assured.
Duan Haoshou said impatiently: "I see, mother, please rest." The voice fell, and the person had already gone out. He still has to think of a way to see if he can catch Duan Haofang privately. If he really refuses, he can only go to the old shopkeepers to find a way to see if they can support him in fighting the second master. .
There can only be one person talking in the shop.
Dafang and Erfang are fighting lively, but Duan Haofang is about to go out again. This time he will go a little longer when he goes out. Since the old lady has handed over all the details to him, he will show it to him anyway.
The second sister heard that he was leaving, so she was asked to pack his things.
Duan Haofang couldn't help asking her: "...you won't keep me?" In the past, he would only think that putting her at home is the most suitable. Children and parents can give it to her, and she won't complain. , And will take care of everything. Now I want to ask him if she has anything to say when going out like this.
The former second sister was like a suitable wife, just like the Duan's yard, a dead thing, a decoration. He doesn't need to worry about it anymore. But since last year, he discovered that she also had her own ideas, not as his wife, his son's mother, Duan's daughter-in-law, and Wu's girl.
She is alive.
He thought carefully, and couldn't remember if he felt like this a long time ago. More distantly, I can only recall the incident when he brought the pomegranate home, and she had a fight with him because of jealousy. Women are jealous. But he couldn't remember when she stopped being jealous, or even why she stopped being jealous. She didn't see Pomegranate in her eyes, and never asked him about anything like this again. Don’t most people tend to be more nervous and care more about this? Why didn't she? Compared with her later generosity, the woman who had made trouble with him for pomegranate did not seem to exist at all.
He used to think that it was because she had a child after concluding with him, and her heart stopped flustering after giving birth to Changwei. When a woman has a child, she won't be tossing about, and she will live in peace of mind. He thinks so, women do.
But now he is not sure.
The second sister in his eyes is a good wife, but what does he look like in the eyes of the second sister? What does she think of him? What's more important is that except for the'second sister' who is a good wife in his eyes, what is the real second sister like
It took almost half a lifetime to discover that the person next to his pillow didn't understand at all. He could see through everyone in the Duan family. He could say that he knew them, but he couldn't say that he knew the second sister.
She is not greedy for money, is not stingy, does not push the door, she does not quarrel with her mother-in-law, she does not quarrel with her concubine, she is filial to her parents, loves her younger siblings, and treats him as her husband and their children in every possible way.
He overturned the second sister's thoughts in his heart, and found that he could think of her good places. No one can be like this. Everyone has selfishness and selfishness.
Where is her selfishness
He walked over, she was picking out the clothes, pants and shoes for him to bring when he went out, folded them up and put them neatly in the box.
"Don't be busy." He held her hand and pulled her up, and the two sat on the kang.
He asked her with a smile and looked at her carefully: "I have been away for more than half a year, so don't you say anything?"
She curled her eyebrows and smiled without the slightest shadow: "Be careful on the way, don't be eager and greedy. You can't make money. I will wait for you at home with my children."
The words are right, the people are right, and she really cares about him.
Duan Haofang's heart jumped wildly.
She didn't even feel a bit reluctant to let him go out!
He hugged her stiffly, and when she told him to remember to add clothes on the road, don't drink raw water on the roadside, don't eat cold food, and remember to see the doctor when he is sick.
He didn't know how to think about it. He said in his heart that she was sensible, and only the ignorant woman would tie a man at home, and the second sister was not that kind of person.
But until they lay down to sleep, he didn't realize that she didn't want him to go out, as if it didn't matter to her whether he was at home or not.
What if there is no him? If he... he couldn't help thinking like this, what if he died outside? The second elder sister will be sad and sad, but she will also raise her children well, and maybe she will remarry
Do not. He shook his head in his heart. She will not remarry. With Changwei, Changfu and Changyuan, she will not remarry.
He suddenly didn't understand, how much does his husband mean to her? Doesn't she matter without him
