About This Novel

Title of work: Keeping one's family is to keep one's filial piety Author: (straight writing) Protagonist: Wu Laosi, Zhang Yaping Introduction to the work: In the old city in the 1980s and 1990s, the fourth child of the Wu family was never a "hard problem" in the eyes of others. When my father was seriously ill, The eldest brother passed away suddenly, and the eldest sister-in-law and her nephew were in trouble. The second brother was still fanning the flames and taking advantage of the situation. The second brother's daughter-in-law, Li Chunyuan, was even more gossipy and ridiculed that the fourth brother had ulterior motives for arranging a good position for the eldest sister-in-law. The gossip of others and the trivial matters at home did not overwhelm the fourth child. Instead, he said loudly: "When you marry into the Wu family, you are one of your own, and your difficulties are the difficulties of the old Wu family!" He took the initiative to take care of his sister-in-law's nephew and sent him to the Beijing Institute of Technology. Zhang Yaping also silently supported him, using his tailoring skills to help the family and helping his sister-in-law with housework. The nephew lived up to the high expectations, working hard during the winter and summer vacations, helping his fourth uncle sell rice from his hometown to Beijing, and breaking into a new world in the rice industry; his sister-in-law was gradually impressed, and took the initiative to prepare meals and entertain guests during the holidays, and reorganized the scattered house into a sparkling atmosphere. Only the second child and his wife were still chattering, but in the context of family reunion, those calculations finally became an insignificant episode. On New Year's Eve, the whole family sat around the table, clinking wine glasses and laughing. The fourth child looked at the room full of people and finally understood - the so-called guarding the family means keeping filial piety. It is not guarding the cold house, but guarding the father's last wish and guarding the fireworks of the family. Happy reunion: happy in my heart! The joy of a smile on your face! The Wu family is all in a state of happiness and joy.'
