Early the next morning, the people from Yun Shan’s family walked into the house at mealtime.
“The dumplings are really good today. Each one of them is white and fat. Our house is really too far from here. It’s really not easy to rush here early in the morning. It’s really hard for everyone to make dumplings.”
Liu Fang entered the house and said some nice words to let others think that she did not help to make dumplings because her house was too far away and she could not make it in time. If she really had the heart, she could have arrived earlier. However, she just wanted to have some leisure and eat dumplings!
“Wee! The plane is here!”
When Yun Lang entered the house, he was still playing with a model plane. The business of the firewood shop of Yun Gang’s family was doing well. As the new year approached, the Yun family’s eldest couple also had some spare money. Previously, they had heard that their son liked the model plane from Yun Shan’s family and had always wanted to have one. At that time, their conditions were not good, but now that they were better, they naturally had to give it to their son.
The old lady also heard her favorite eldest grandson’s voice. She quickly took the small bag of snacks that she had distributed earlier and came in front of Yun Lang.
“My grandson is very handsome. He seems to have grown taller during the New Year. This is a snack for my grandson. Play while you eat!”
The old lady lovingly touched Yun Lang’s head, her eyes overflowing with love.
“Thank you, grandma!” Yun Lang happily ran around the courtyard with a bag of snacks in his arms.
When Yun Yang saw Yun Lang playing with the model airplane, he immediately got into a playful mood. He ran into his room and fumbled around in the drawer for a long time before taking out his model airplane.
Yun Zhu looked at the two of them and was extremely envious.
“Mom, I want that toy too. I want to play with the model plane too. It’s the new year today, so I don’t want the New Year’s money. You can buy me one too,” Yun Zhu said coquettishly.
Yun Yang and Yun Lang looked at the model plane in their hands and held it tightly in their arms. They were afraid that Yun Zhu would not get one and snatch their toy.
“Sister-in-law, this toy isn’t cheap. This toy costs 7.50 yuan. If they bought a larger model, it might be twice as expensive. It’s the New Year now. Perhaps the prices will rise again. This detachable model plane toy probably costs 10 yuan, right?”
Liu Fang’s voice rang out. It was obvious that she looked down on the poor family. If she used other words to scold them, they would not even be able to afford a model plane.
Ma Yan was a little uncomfortable when she heard Liu Fang’s words. However, this 10 yuan was just to buy a toy. It was indeed a little expensive. To Yun Lin’s family, it could already be considered a luxury item. Moreover, it was to buy a toy for the child, after a period of time, they might not like it anymore, so Ma Yan did not really plan to buy a toy for the child.
“It’s the New Year, where would a shop still open? Look at your cousins, you can play with them.”
Ma Yan said lightly, but in her heart, she thought, ‘If only I had money, I wouldn’t have to work so hard to earn money here. At this time, I can make the children of these two families envy my son, but reality does not allow it!’
Yun Zhu frowned. He did not dare to make any more requests to his mother. He was afraid that he would be beaten up again during the New Year. This would make it even more difficult for him to raise his head among his cousins.
Yun Yang was smart. He had put away his airplane model early on. He knew what Yun Zhu was going to do next.
“You should let me play with it too! Don’t be so stingy!”
Yun Zhu saw that Yun Yang no longer had the airplane model in his hands, so he could only rush to Yun Lang’s side like a madman and start snatching the airplane model in his hands.
How could Yun Lang let him get what he wanted? He directly hid the toy behind his back and kept dodging, not letting Yun Zhu get close.
Yun Zhu was angry. He was angry that Yun Lang was not willing to lend him the toy to play with. He was also angry that his mother was not willing to buy him an airplane model, so he could only covet the other children. Yun Zhu used all his strength to push Yun Lang to the ground.
Yun Lang was not prepared. With both his hands behind his back, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The model plane behind him was crushed by his own weight. Even his back was scratched by the plane’s broken pieces. Fortunately, he wore thick clothes in winter and did not hurt his bones. There were only some scratches on his skin and flesh. However, even these scratches were painful enough to make Yun Lang grimace.
“Sob, sob, sob.”
Yun Lang first cried because of the pain on his body. Then, he looked at the model plane behind him, which was crushed beyond recognition. He was even sadder.
