Chapter 1
"Mom! Mom... "Niu Er called repeatedly.
Sun Jiumei slightly opened her eyes. Her eyes had scattered. She looked at Niu Er and said laboriously, "child, you... You want to be a first-class man..."
"Mom, I remember. I must be a first-class man." Niu Er agreed with tears.
Sun Jiumei murmured, "superior... Superior man..."
"Mom, I remember it in my heart. I swear: I must be a first-class man!" Niu Er's tears gushed out like spring water.
Niu Er doesn't know what a "superior man" is, but he doesn't want to ask and has no time to ask, because he has a more important question: who is his father? Where's father?
Niu Er never saw his father or heard his mother mention his father.
As a child, he once asked his mother, "where has my father gone?"
As soon as the mother heard the word "father", she immediately pulled down her face and replied in a harsh voice, "your father is dead and has swine fever."
When Niu Er saw that his mother suddenly became so fierce, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to mention his father anymore.
Now, my mother is dying. If I don't ask again, my father will become an eternal mystery.
Niu Er dared to ask, "Mom, i... who is my father?"
Sun Jiumei stretched out a withered hand and pointed to mid air. She made the last effort and said, "you... Your father fried... Stocks on the five-star Avenue in city A. he... He lacks a front tooth, a head of 1.75 meters..."
Sun Jiumei's hand fell from the air.
"What's my father's name?" Niu Er shouted.
Sun Jiumei half opened her eyes and seemed to want to see Niu Er more.
Sun Jiumei opened her mouth as if to say his father's name.
"Mom! Mom... "Niu Er fell on his mother and howled bitterly.

Just after his mother was buried, the lame second cousin boarded the door with a stack of IOUS and asked, "nephew, your mother borrowed me more than 10000 yuan for this disease. This is not a small number. When are you going to pay it back?"
Neighbor pockmarked son also took several IOUS and shook in front of Niu Er. He asked, "I owe 3000 yuan for a year. Won't you default?"
Sister-in-law Huang saved a thick stack of IOU notes in her hand and said, "Niu Er, your mother and I are good sisters, but my brothers have to settle accounts. Tell me, what about the 80000 yuan owed to my family?"
The year before last, Niu Er's mother suffered from gastric cancer, underwent two operations and owed 120000 yuan. Among these creditors, quick talking Mrs. Huang is the largest.
Niu Er saw that his mother's bones were not cold, so the debt collector went to the door. He said angrily, "my mother died, I'm still alive, and the money won't be less than you."
The lame second cousin carefully put the IOU into his pocket and said, "Niuer, just have you." Then he limped away.
Neighbor pockmarked frowned and stressed, "Niu Er, I have to tell the ugly story in my head. You have to pay back the money you owe me first. My family is still waiting for money."
Pockmarked son finished, turned a white eye at Niu Er, pulled his face and left.
Sister-in-law Huang went to Niu Er, touched Niu Er's face painfully and said, "son, you're much thinner, you have to make up for it, otherwise you'll lose your body and get married in the future. I'm afraid you won't have children."
Niu Er hid next to him and said, "thank you, Huang Ma."
Mrs. Huang approached Niu Er and asked with concern, "Niu Er, you owe a lot of debt. What can you pay back?"
"I... I'll go to work in the city right away. I'll pay you back a lot of money." Niu Er said with his teeth clenched.
Mrs. Huang looked at Niu Er lovingly and persuaded him, "Niu Er, do you think it's easy to make money by working in the city? Don't think too beautiful. I tell you: money is not easy to earn. "
When sister-in-law Huang saw Niu Er, she bowed her head and said, "Niu Er, my family has only one daughter and is going to recruit a door-to-door son-in-law. Aunt has a crush on you. If you agree, you can go to my house tonight. As for the debts you owe, I can help you pay them off. "
Mrs. Huang has only one daughter, Heiniu. She is 18 years old. She is only half a day younger than Niu.
Niu Er has never considered marriage. Besides, Niu Er will never be a door-to-door son-in-law.
Niu Er politely refused: "Huang Ma, I've just turned 18. I'm not going to get married yet."
Sister-in-law Huang said angrily, "Niu Er, don't be shameless. I tell you: there is a long line of men who think of my family as the door-to-door son-in-law. I think you are poor, lonely and in debt. That's your priority."
Mrs. Huang has always wanted to make Niu Er's idea. It happened that Niu Er's mother was ill, which provided her with a good opportunity.
Niu Er was too lazy to talk to sister-in-law Huang. He covered his stomach, pretended to be in pain and said, "Huang Ma, i... I'm going to the thatched cottage."
Niu Er said that and rushed to the hut.
