一多年前,哥哥结婚时新房布置在父母家里。当时县里的习俗,是夜里零点举行婚礼。新婚之夜,送走客人已是子夜。妈妈在楼上叫我哥上去,和她把账算一下。新上任的嫂子没听明白她的婆婆在说什么,哥哥也很不情愿在这个特别的夜晚配合妈做这事。但是妈还是在楼上一声声地叫他。妈是要和哥哥分礼金。哥哥嫂子这边的朋友同学送的礼份子,她划出来给他们;别的亲戚们给的呢,则归妈妈所有。她性子急,急于把这个账算清楚,数钱于她又是平生最快慰的事,所以她等不得第二天。 A year ago, my brother was placed in her parents’ home when she married. At that time, the custom in the county was to hold a wedding at zero at night. Wedding night, away guests is already midnight. Mom called me upstairs upstairs, and her accountability. The newly appointed sister-in-law did not understand what her mother-in-law was saying and her brother was reluctant to cooperate with her on this special night. But Mom still called him upstairs. Mom is going to share money with my brother. Brother sister-in-law friend’s classmates here gift, she set out to them; other relatives to give it, then owned by the mother. Her temper, eager to account this clear, a few dollars in her life is the happiest thing, so she can not wait for the next day.
