"Look at it, this is the biological son. If you have a wife, don't want a mother. You live in the building and drive me to the garage." Hu Cuilan sat on the ground, crying and making a fuss.
is working hours, and many people come in and out of the community. Seeing the noise here, many people stopped and looked from afar, pointing fingers, and some people even took out their mobile phones to take photos and videos.
Zhang Xiaofeng stood aside, holding a thick quilt, and half of the dark and honest face covered by the big N95 mask turned red.
"Isn't this the one who lives in Building 3 who is doing decoration? Yes, his wife just gets a haircut, she looks pretty good."
"Know people, but not your heart, who knows that she is actually an unfilial person!"
"Now, there are too many unfilial people. If I have such a son, I will strangle him to death..."
"That's right, I heard that her wife just gave birth to a son. I don’t know if I will be punished for my own mother...
...
The discussion around me became increasingly unpleasant. Hu Cuilan became more and more proud of her son as she heard so many people accusing her son of being unfilial, and she also began to criticize her daughter-in-law:
"I didn’t like that wife from the beginning. Look at her who looks like that, she is black, short and stupid..."
"You have enough! "Zhang Xiaofeng threw the quilt in his hand to the ground, blushing as if he was about to burn the mask:
"You have to settle the accounts, right? Then let's calculate the accounts carefully and let the neighbors evaluate them! "
" You live in your second child's house and take care of their daily life. You came into contact with Yangren and were afraid of infecting the second child's family, so you ran to my house. Do you know that my wife is in confinement, the eldest daughter is only five years old, the younger son is less than a month old, my mother-in-law is old and the family is old and young..."
The word "Yangren" is like the explosion of the nuclear bomb . It coaxed Hu Cuilan and the other two as the center, and ran out to go home, wanting to go home, but the burning gossip still made them stop and wait and see.
Zhang Xiaofeng continued: "You said this, will I dare to let you enter the house? This is my bet on my wife and children's lives. I don't care about you. I run out every day, for fear of infecting my family, so I live in the garage where my wife cuts her hair. There is electricity, water and heating. Isn't it okay to let you and I stay there for a while? "
Someone around him agreed: "That's right, this is too dangerous. Although many people are arrogant, the elderly and children should still protect them..."
"This son is pretty good. If you don't care about me, you can be considered a filial son. "
Some people also object: " Raise children to prevent old age. When people get old, can they just have food and accommodation? Isn’t it necessary for family members to accompany me, putting my mother in the garage and giving me some food and drink, even if it’s filial? "
Zhang Xiaofeng is still accusing Hu Cuilan: "You said my wife is unfilial. Have you ever done something to make her filial? When she gave birth to a boss, you said you were unwilling to leave your hometown and didn’t come to help take care of the confinement period. But in less than a year, the second family gave birth to a child, and you could leave your hometown to take care of the confinement period for the second family.
When we gave birth to a second child, we thought that the second child’s child was three years old. The second wife was taking online classes at home and could take care of the children. We asked you to help us take care of the confinement period. We also said that we would give you money, but you wouldn’t come. Now, if you have something wrong, you will run to our house..."
"Oh, why are you a damn like this? Isn't this a special trick to the boss? "
" If my mother is my mother, I don't care about her..."
"It's enough to have someone to live in, but I'm not satisfied..."
's son's accusation, and the people around him pointed at him, which made Hu Cuilan no longer able to make trouble. She stood up honestly and followed her son to the garage.

This is the first time that Hu Cuilan went to her daughter-in-law to get a haircut. A garage of more than 30 square meters has been transformed into a simple barber shop, with a large mirror, several chairs, a row of sofas and two folding clothes hangers. The folded towels are neatly arranged.
There is a cloth curtain in the corner of the house, and the toilet is behind it.
Zhang Xiaofeng works outside all day, worried about spreading it to his family, so he has lived in the garage for more than half a month, eating and living inside, and is short of rice, flour, vegetables, pots and pans.
Zhang Xiaofeng opened the folding bed and said while laying the bedding: You can stay here with me for a few days first, I will buy a folding bed later, and then buy some grain, vegetables and fruits.
Hu Cuilan looked at the simple garage and curled her lips. She didn't even look down on her residence like this, but her eldest son and daughter-in-law lived there for two years.
Zhang Cuilan has two sons. The eldest son Zhang Xiaofeng has been honest and dull since childhood. He has not studied well and can only work honestly. The younger son Zhang Xiaolong is smart and flexible, has a sweet and pleasing mouth, and has a good brain. He has been good at studying since childhood.
Zhang Cuilan has always liked her sweet-mouthed youngest son, and she doesn’t like her honest eldest son. When her wife is alive, she can still take care of her, so that she can handle her with a bowl of water. She must have a certain degree of bias.
But when the eldest son graduated from junior high school, his wife passed away, and there was no one who could control her anymore, and her heart was tilted.
My wife passed away and her family's income dropped sharply. She asked her boss to go out to work without hesitation to support her younger son's school.
A child who just graduated from junior high school is still a minor and has no skills. The only thing he can do is to sell cool labor.
Zhang Xiaofeng went to the construction site to carry bricks and work as a small worker. He could push hundreds of carts a day. He could wear a pair of Jiefang shoes in less than a few months. He would get up to work before dawn in summer. He would not finish work even when it was dark. He would be exposed to wind and sun all day long and bitten by mosquitoes.
But he never said he was bitter or tired. He worked hard to make some money and sent it home to his mother and younger brother. But he couldn't bear to have a good meal or wear good clothes.
Even so, every time I call my home, my mother doesn’t ask him if he is hard or tired outside. She just tells him that someone has made a lot of money outside, built two-story houses for his hometown, and who has provided for his younger brother to go to college, and tried every means to urge him to make money for his family.
People often say that the less valued children are, the more they want their parents’ attention.
Zhang Xiaofeng is like this. He worked hard to send more money home, hoping to get more attention from his mother.
But the mother did not pity the sensible and obedient children, but instead became more and more serious.

0 When my younger brother was admitted to a prestigious university, his mother smiled and held a school entrance banquet for Zhang Xiaolong, and invited the villagers from the village to have a wedding banquet.
Zhang Xiaolong was also happy for his younger brother. He asked for leave from his boss early, went to get a haircut, and spent more than 200 yuan to buy a new set of clothes for himself from the inside out.
But my mother was not happy about his arrival, but instead refused to let him go to the table: Your younger brother is a famous college student, you are an mud legs , and it will embarrass your younger brother.
That's it. Zhang Xiaolong was wearing a new dress and hid in the room. Through the window, he watched his mother bring her younger brother to toast the elders in the village in the yard. Everyone smiled happily, praising Zhang Xiaolong and praising him, but he forgot that Zhang Xiaofeng, who had been working hard to support his second child to go to school.
The excitement belongs to others and has nothing to do with me - Zhang Xiaolong realized the sorrow in this sentence early on.
People's hearts are full of flesh, but the biased heart is harder than a stone, and it is not warm at all.
Amidst the laughter, Zhang Xiaolong carried a simple baggage and embarked on the road to work again. Behind him was laughing and cheering, with big fish and meat on the table, and he was alone, holding only two cold steamed buns in his arms.
At this moment, his new clothes looked so ridiculous.

0 The honesty and honesty in his bones did not make Zhang Xiaofeng feel resentful because of his mother's neglect and his brother's ignorance. He still worked hard outside and still supported his brother in school.
But now, he will not send all his money home, he will leave most of himself and plan for his future.
Faced with the sudden reduction in money, my mother called to urge me and scold me, but Zhang Xiaofeng was unmoved.
Over the years, my mother is still young and diligent. She has never lost her work in the field. Every summer and autumn, she will pick up her vegetables from home to the market and make some extra money by selling them.
Although Zhang Xiaofeng is doing hard work, he is young and strong, and he doesn’t make a lot of money. He pays his younger brother one, and there is no financial problem. I believe his mother should have saved a lot of money on hand.
She is not short of money, but she is just used to squeezing her eldest son.
But now Zhang Xiaofeng knows that his younger brother will have a good future, and he also has to plan for his future.
Zhang Xiaofeng is diligent and capable, and is willing to learn skills from others. He started as a young worker, a plasterer, a putty worker... He has worked in many jobs, and he is down-to-earth. Although he is not eloquent, his honest and honest personality is loved by everyone.
Later, a master took him to decorate when he saw that he had good character. Zhang Xiaofeng knew how to be grateful and often bought something for the master. He was at home and he was at any time when he had something to do. Soon, he became boyfriend and girlfriend with the master's daughter Miao Fangfang.
The master believes in his character and is happy to see it happen.
Soon, the two reached the point of getting married. Zhang Xiaofeng took his girlfriend home and discussed the marriage with his mother.
Hu Cuilan has not been able to get all the money in her eldest son's hands in recent years. She is already angry, and she is also displeased when she sees Miao Fangfang's appearance is ordinary, not tall, and is not a sweet-mouthed person who can please others.
Plus during the summer vacation, Zhang Xiaolong also took his girlfriend back to his hometown. Compared with his tall, beautiful appearance, high education and coaxing second daughter-in-law, Miao Fangfang's honest and sincere heart was said to be clumsy and dull.
Hu Cuilan was lukewarm and perfunctory about Miao Fangfang who came to her for the first time. Later, when she was talking about marriage, she couldn't even bring out Liu Wanba's bride price and said bluntly that she had no money.
But in a blink of an eye, she bought a gold bracelet worth nearly 10,000 yuan for Zhang Xiaolong's girlfriend.
Zhang Xiaofeng was completely disappointed. After
, he was the marriage with Miao Fangfang himself. He spent all kinds of money and saved over the years.
Fortunately, Miao Fangfang is sensible and considerate. Miao Fangfang's parents understand Zhang Xiaofeng's situation. they recognize Zhang Xiaofeng as a person, and they value him as being kind to his daughter. They did not make things difficult for Zhang Xiaofeng, but instead gave all the bride money to his daughter.

They wanted to settle down in the provincial capital, and the first thing they thought of was to buy a house. They liked a house near the suburbs, but the down payment was more than 400,000 yuan. The two of them didn’t have enough money. After hearing this, Miao Fangfang’s parents also lent them more than 100,000 yuan, but in the end they were still missing 70,000 yuan.
html In a desperate situation, Zhang Xiaofeng returned home and borrowed money from his mother, hoping that she could borrow some money first, pay the down payment, and pay it back slowly in the future.But Hu Cuilan completely blocked all his path after saying that he had no money.
Is Hu Cuilan really not rich?
Of course not. In the second year after Zhang Xiaofeng borrowed money, his younger brother Zhang Xiaolong got married. In addition to the 98,000 yuan bride price, his younger brother bought a house in the provincial capital, and his mother also paid more than 100,000 yuan.
But she doesn't want to give it to her even though most of the money is earned by her eldest son.
Zhang Xiaofeng and Miao Fangfang had a very difficult life after marriage. They rented a garage, one for decoration for others, and the other for hairdressing in the store. They went out early and came back late, and often came back tired and fell asleep.
The rental garage is cold in winter and hot in summer. It is stuffy in summer, not breathable at all, and there is no heating in winter, and it is as cold as an ice cellar. Two people hug each other to keep warm.
But the two did not complain or criticize each other, but thought together and worked together, thrifty and down-to-earth.
Not long after, Zhang Xiaofeng bought a van and brought a construction team from his hometown to decorate people everywhere. With reasonable charges, superb craftsmanship and serious attitude, his income is getting higher and higher.
Two years after marriage, the two finally got enough of the down payment, bought a house in the provincial capital, and moved it from the garage to a bright building.
Only after life has stabilized, the two dare to have children.
When Miao Fangfang was just pregnant, Zhang Xiaofeng told her mother the news, hoping to share the joy of being a father and ease the relationship with her mother. Of course, he also hopes that his mother can come and help take care of the child at that time to relieve the pressure on the two of them.
Unexpectedly, my mother refused: I am used to living in my hometown and don’t want to leave my hometown. I can’t take care of your children.
: The expected delivery date is coming soon, Miao Fangfang's mother is a salesperson and she will have to retire for more than a year, so she can't help. There is no way, so the two had to grit their teeth and spend a high price to hire an confinement nanny , which is the money for the confinement nanny.
Miao Fangfang didn't let Zhang Xiaofeng spend that money in vain, but Zhang Xiaofeng said: money is okay, you can still make money after spending it. Your body is the most important thing. I work so hard to make money, isn't it just for you to spend it?
At this time, Miao Fangfang finally realized that she had not married the wrong person.

After the child is half a year old, Miao Fangfang doesn't want to live such a life without income, but she has low education and has no other skills except haircuts. However, regular barber shops have fixed working hours, so she can't take care of the children.
Zhang Xiaofeng converted the garage of his house into a small barber shop, allowing Miao Fangfang to become the boss's wife.
Although her barber shop is just a small garage, she has the skills of a big barber shop and charges the fees of a small barber shop. People in the community like to come to her shop to get their hair. Later, even people in the nearby community knew that there was a barber shop with very good craftsmanship here, and they ran several streets to find her to get her hair.
The business is good, but Miao Fangfang doesn’t know whether she should be happy or sad. She often opens the door before 8 o’clock every day, and there are still people waiting in line at 8 o’clock in the evening.
What you can guarantee to eat every day is breakfast, lunch is not guaranteed to be eaten, and you are not sure to eat it on time at night.
The child is obedient, so she put her on the baby's car and gave her a toy to play with. When she is disobedient or wants to sleep, she carries her on her back and tries her hair while coaxing the child.
At that time, people who came to get haircuts often saw Miao Fangfang carrying her daughter on her back and holding scissors in her hand to cut hair for customers one by one.
The child is too young and before she has been weaned, she hangs a curtain in the corner. When the child is hungry, she takes a stool, holds the child to the corner, pulls the curtain, and continues to get a haircut after feeding the child.
That's it, Miao Fangfang was in this small garage, using a pair of scissors to take on the firewood, rice, oil and salt at home.
It was not until the child was two years old and the mother retired and came to help her take care of the child that she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She could do business with peace of mind and have a meal every day.

The eldest son is in dire straits, but the younger son is in full swing.
After graduating, my youngest son entered a state-owned enterprise in the provincial capital, and his wife became a junior high school teacher. Shortly after Miao Fangfang gave birth, Zhang Xiaolong's wife also became pregnant.
Hu Cuilan was very happy. She packed up her bags and entered the city. She left her hometown and came to the provincial capital. She moved into her youngest son's house and took care of her son's daily life.
After the young daughter-in-law gave birth, she personally took her grandson to let her son and daughter-in-law work with her.
The two sons are in the same city, but in Hu Cuilan, they have completely different treatments. She rarely even goes to her eldest son's house for throughout the year.
Life is like flowing water. In a blink of an eye, Miao Fangfang is pregnant with her second child. This time with her mother's help, she has a very stable confinement period.
However, with the changes in national policies, many people around me are already optimistic. Miao Fangfang and her mother are devoted to taking care of their two children at home and dare not go out. They are all done by Zhang Xiaofeng to buy groceries and get express delivery.
In order not to spread the risks to family members, Zhang Xiaofeng did not go home to live, so he put a bed in his wife's haircut garage and went inside to rest every day.
Hu Cuilan takes care of her youngest son's family, and the school has also been closed. The youngest daughter-in-law takes online classes at home every day. Her son works at two o'clock in the home every day, and she dares not run around. Only Hu Cuilan goes out to buy vegetables every day.
Yesterday, the owner of the vegetable stall where she often buys vegetables was in a bad mood. Seeing that her health code had become a yellow code, the whole family was panicked.
The youngest son and his family are worried about being infected. Although many people will be positive, their wife is weak and their children are young, so they are worried that infection will affect their health.
Now my mother suddenly has the risk of being "yang". The whole family is anxious and don't let her go home. She has nowhere to go and let her go home, but she does not have the conditions for separate isolation.
At this time, Hu Cuilan suddenly remembered her eldest son. She couldn't live in her youngest son's house, so she could still go to her eldest son's house.
She ignored whether it would be transmitted to her eldest son's family. People who are not valued can be harmed without any concerns.
So, she called and before her son and daughter-in-law could report it, she arrived at the door.
The eldest son didn't want her to go home, so he arranged her to the garage. She didn't want to, so the beginning scene came into being.

Hu Cuilan was in a mess and finally moved into the garage.
Unexpectedly, she got fever that night.
There seemed to be fire burning all over her body, and her whole body was like a cooked shrimp, curled up on the bed, and her painful moans overflowed from her mouth. At that moment, she suddenly felt extremely sad.
Raising a child to prevent old age. She gave birth to two sons, but at the critical moment of life and death, she had no son by her side.
At this moment, a pair of rough hands touched her forehead, then her body was helped up, and the bitter potion entered her mouth, and then there was warm water. She drank water in big mouthfuls like a traveler trapped in the desert for a week.
After drinking the water, she was gently put down again, covered with a thick quilt, and the pillow was also adjusted to a comfortable height.
In a daze, she fell asleep again.
The next day, it was dawn. She opened her eyes and saw her eldest son who was sleeping on the edge of the bed.
The bright lights are bright, and the white hair on her son's head pierces into her eyes one by one.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that her eldest son, who had been ignored by her, had already given birth to white hair.
She didn't expect that when she was seriously ill, she kept by the bed and never left her, her eldest son who was never seen by her.
Her eyes were so dry that she felt uncomfortable, and her throat was like a piece of glass. I don’t know if it was because of the illness or her guilt and regret.
Hu Cuilan's symptoms were relatively mild. She only had a fever of 39 degrees on the first day. With the careful care of her eldest son, she had improved on the third day. Her high fever had subsided and her spirits were much better.
But unexpectedly, my son was infected.
My son was much worse than her. He suddenly became hot to 40 degrees. He was 1.8 meters tall, burning and curled up on the folding bed, as fragile and helpless as a newborn baby.
Looking at his red face and listening to his painful moans, Hu Cuilan suddenly remembered when her eldest son was just born.
This son absorbed it in her belly. When he was pregnant, Hu Cuilan's family had a difficult time. She had no meal after eating, but her son absorbed everything. She was so thin that she was only a big belly, but her son was born with a 70% pounds. It took him one or two nights just to give birth to him, which made her suffer all the hardships and almost lost her life. After she was born, she couldn't have confinement at all, and the next day she was chased by her mother-in-law to work. She ate less and dried more, and had no milk. Her son bit her breasts and sucked them all night long, and she felt that she was going to be sucked dry.
So, she always thought that this son was here to collect debts and has not liked him since she was a child.
But, now thinking about it, can you blame a newborn child for these things? Over the years, I have been blaming my son for all the suffering I suffered during those days. How innocent is my son?
Perhaps, over the years, I have really become obsessed with it!
Hu Cuilan supported her weak body and moved to the bed to take care of her son.
She boiled hot water and prepared to feed her son medicine. She was sick and was taken care of by her eldest son. Now, it was her turn to take care of her son.
It was my mistake in the past. From now on, it should be not too late to treat my eldest son well and make up for the shortcomings in the past.
