Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

The Xu family was just like in previous years. Xu's mother bought a lot of food, and Xu Damao and Xu Youcai just had to wait to eat and drink. Anyway, they have always been like this. You serve the food and then eat it, and they will not lend a hand to help with the work. The three of them have long been accustomed to this way of getting along. Xu Youcai wants to have a tryst when he has nothing to do.

Xu Damao was worried every day, thinking about what he should do. He wanted to tell his parents directly several times, but he was too embarrassed to speak. If this hadn't happened, he should have been taken to see Lou Xiao'e during the Chinese New Year. Now that this happened, how could he care about Lou Xiao'e? The most urgent thing was what to do with the child. Xu Youcai and his mother naturally had no idea why their son was worried. They were busy preparing for the Chinese New Year day by day. How could they have time to worry about what Xu Damao was feeling?

Liu Haizhong's family was in a bad situation. Ever since he reported Yi Zhonghai and was accused of slandering his co-workers, he couldn't eat or drink and couldn't sleep at night. The consequence of his inability to eat was that his children wouldn't eat more than a few bites. He ate three bites of food, and the children didn't eat more than three bites. Of course, this was all except for the eldest son.

If he couldn't sleep at night, he would make up for it during the day. If he was woken up by someone during the day, he would immediately beat him up. Of course, that was the same thing, except for his eldest son. After all, he loved his eldest son the most. Even if he was not satisfied with his current job, he could not vent his anger on him because of his own reasons.

This idea of his was limited to his eldest son, the other two sons were not so lucky. When eating, they had to carefully observe how many bites their father took. If he took two bites, they would not dare to take the third bite, for fear of being scolded and beaten if they ate too much.

The result is that I don't eat much during the day, and I feel hungry at night. The next day, it repeats itself. If I make too much noise in the morning and Liu Haizhong hears it, he might get up and beat me. If they didn't know that Tiantian would go to the kitchen to steal some food at night, I would have starved to death. How could I have survived the New Year?

Su Xingchen felt the most sympathy for the two brothers in this courtyard. It was no wonder that when they grew up, they hated their parents the most and wanted to move out of this house as soon as possible. There was no other way. They grew up being beaten every day and being scolded for eating. Who would want to stay in this house?

You favor your eldest son every day, but when he graduated and got a job, he was unwilling to stay at home. All those years of love were in vain. As for the other two sons, it goes without saying that they were beaten since childhood. How could they be willing to stay at home and be filial to the two old people? Besides, the eldest son has already left, and you still don’t treat the other two sons well. Liu Haizhong can only vent all his anger towards the eldest son on the other two sons. This also caused the two children to drift further and further away from Liu Haizhong and his wife. When they were able to support themselves, they did not think about coming back to be filial to their parents.

This is understandable. This is what we call the misfortune of the original family.

On the night of the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, every household was filled with a happy atmosphere, welcoming the coming day. Su Xingchen followed Su Weiguo and walked towards the central courtyard carrying a bowl of dumplings and a plate of pork head. Needless to say, this was of course a gift for Xiang Xiaobei.

During this period, Xiang Xiaobei was as obedient as possible, but they didn't know what happened to him. Although Su Xingchen helped the deaf old lady to be reborn, he didn't know that Xiang Xiaobei could actually meet his mother. It was rare for a human and a ghost to meet.

Su Xingchen thought it would be better for Xiang Xiaobei to be honest. Being honest means he won't do anything. On the one hand, this can reduce the pressure of Su Weiguo's surveillance, and on the other hand, it means that the courtyard is very safe at least during this period. But Su Weiguo didn't think so. He thought that the more honest Xiang Xiaobei was, the more it showed that he had a big move. Now nothing happened, but once it broke out, most people would not be able to bear it.

He was not worried about what Xiang Xiaobei was planning, but he was worried that Xiang Xiaobei would hurt the people in the courtyard, especially his family. So today he planned to take advantage of this time, ostensibly to send food to Xiang Xiaobei, but actually to observe what this kid was doing.

"Knock knock knock, it's me, brother. Open the door?" Su Weiguo said after knocking on the door.

"Brother, I'm coming." Xiang Xiaobei was leaning against the stove reading a book. When he heard that Su Weiguo was coming, he couldn't help but feel confused. It was New Year's Eve, why did Su Weiguo come to see him when he was not at home for the New Year?

Fortunately, when they first met, Su Weiguo made Xiang Xiaobei feel that this person was quite enthusiastic. Therefore, Su Weiguo's frequent concern for him did not arouse Xiang Xiaobei's suspicion. Instead, he felt that this was a very normal thing.

So even on New Year's Eve, when Su Weiguo came knocking on the door, Xiang Xiaobei was just a little confused and didn't have any excessive suspicion. He just walked over and opened the door for Su Weiguo.

"Brother, it's New Year's Eve, why are you coming to my place instead of staying at home?" Xiang Xiaobei said as he opened the door and saw Su Weiguo and Su Xingchen standing at the door.

"Hey, I just thought that you'd be alone tonight, so I brought you some dumplings and pork head meat. You can eat them if you want. The dumplings are made of pork and green onions, and they taste good. If you want to eat them, just cook them in a pot. If you don't want to eat them, just freeze them outside tonight and eat them later." As he said that, Su Weiguo handed the dumplings in his hand to Xiang Xiaobei, and Su Xingchen also handed him the plate of pork head meat.

"Oh, brother, I'm really sorry to bother you. I think it's already troublesome enough that I come to live in your house. I didn't expect you to bring me food. I'm really sorry." Xiang Xiaobei took the things and said with a smile.

"Hey, brother, don't say that. What's the big deal? If you hadn't helped me in time on the train, my documents would have been lost, and that would have been a real trouble. I'm helping you as you should. It's just a small favor." Su Weiguo quickly waved his hand and said.

"Brother, don't say that. Let's put things one way and one way. So many things happened after I arrived in Sijiu City thanks to your care, otherwise I don't know how I would have lived." Xiang Xiaobei shook his head and said.
