老大的俩双胞胎儿子考上了大学,光学费就一万多。老大东跑西颠,跑细了腿儿,也没把钱凑够。
The twin sons of the eldest have been admitted to university, and the cost of optics is just over ten thousand yuan. The boss ran around and lost his legs, but he couldn't gather enough money.
为这事,老大吃不香,睡不安,愁起满嘴的燎泡。
For this matter, the boss couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep well, and worried about his mouth full of blisters.
媳妇说,该借的都借了。实在不行,你跟老二张个口吧。
My wife said she borrowed everything that needed to be borrowed. It's really not possible, you can talk to the second person.
老大一听,咧了嘴。老大说,前年,老二盖鸡场鸭场,跟咱借两千块,可咱连百十块都没借给他。这个时候找他,我咋张得开口?
The boss grinned when he heard this. The boss said that two years ago, the second son built a chicken and duck farm and borrowed two thousand yuan from us, but we didn't even lend him a hundred or ten yuan. How can I open my mouth to find him at this moment?
那……咱儿子的大学就不上啦?
So... won't our son go to college?
老大点支烟,狠狠地抽几口,烟雾缭绕,罩着老大那张愁苦的脸。
The boss lit a cigarette, took a few deep puffs, and the smoke enveloped his sorrowful face.
这时,有人敲门。老大开门一看,竟是老二。
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. The boss opened the door and saw that it was actually the second one.
老二左手一只鸡,右手一只鸭,风尘仆仆地站在门口。
The second son stood at the door with a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right hand, covered in dust and wind.
把老二让进屋,老大说,老二,你咋来啦?
Let the second person in the house, "said the first person." Second person, why are you here?
老二放下鸡,放下鸭,抹一把头上的汗说,听说俩侄子考上了大学,担心哥凑不够学费,就给哥送来三千块……说着,老二从口袋里掏出厚厚一沓钱,放在面前的桌子上。
The second son put down the chicken, put down the duck, wiped away the sweat on his head, and said, 'I heard that my two nephews have been admitted to college, and I'm worried that my brother won't be able to raise enough tuition fees, so I sent him 3000 yuan...' With that, the second son took out a thick stack of money from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of him.
老大羞愧难当,一张脸涨成红高粱。老大说,老二,哥对不起你……前年你盖鸡场鸭场,跟哥借两千块钱,可我……
The boss felt ashamed and his face turned red. The boss said, 'Second brother, I'm sorry about you... Two years ago, you built a chicken and duck farm and borrowed two thousand yuan from me, but I...'
老二摆摆手说,哥的家境我知道,嫂子有病,俩侄儿要上学,你打工也挣不了几个钱……再说,你前年不是还借给我五百块吗?
The second son waved his hand and said, 'I know about my brother's family background. My sister-in-law is sick, my two nephews have to go to school, and you can't earn much money from working... Besides, didn't you lend me 500 yuan two years ago?'?
五百块?老大一头雾水。
Five hundred yuan? The boss is completely confused.
对呀。老二说,哥,你忘了吗?那五百块,是你托咱娘捎给我的啊……
right. The second one said, brother, have you forgotten? That five hundred yuan was entrusted to my mother by you to bring it to me
