84.The firecrackers cracked like thunders that those having unprotected sleep with their children and wives in the seismic- resistance tent were awakened surprisingly.Some of them crawled out the tent looking and then went back to sleep.Some others cursed the big noise on their beds，made a turn and fell asleep quickly.Dogs barked a lot.The point was the cracks did bring a bundle of nerves and fidgets to Huang who'd been waiting inanely on the earth table.Unable to keep calm any longer，Huang rose to his feet and approached instantly to the middle area of the courtyard，his ears kept opening to the outside.Bang！Bang！Bang！Surrounded by the cracks，Caixia cried out upstairs，"Dad，here comes the installment of the last door！You'd better off resting for a while and check the work later in good spirits." "Rest？Rest my ass！Can't you hear the celebration cracks fired by the geezer Cai for his moving to new house？I can but sit still as a dead man！That was the first time that Cai，with the contest and the cracks heavy in his mind，had uttered dirty words to his daughter-in-law.Caixia could hardly withstand it，tears trickling down her cheeks，since she had been hard at it all the night but got an unreasonable reprimand in return.So ungrateful and tactless was Cai in the eyes of old lady Huang，who could not help speaking up，"You old mean！How could you be so rude and unaffectionate to our child？Do you want to ruin the good days？We would have been arranged to move into the city for quiet comfort long before.But you refused，nagging that there would be no friends and no human relations in big city，and it would be like living in the prison，a confused chaos！We so stayed." Mrs.Cai continued，"Caixia but chose to stay with us caring for our livelihood in this developing countryside.Since then，especially the quake，she's been working around the clock for the family rebuilding.And again，she made a whole night of it without rest.But you！You fool just sat there like a clay figure doing nothing.And the instant you opened your eyes，you cursed.What's wrong？If you keep going that way，we are all moving to the town early this morning and in this new house you old fart will be living all by yourself，isn't it great？Still，you've been contending with Cai all the way throughout your life，and you lost to him the whole life.So do you mind at all falling another time？Compared with Cai，you always come short of reckoning." Haohao，then，was woken up by the shouts and screamed louder back，"Grandma，would you please save your squabbling and wrangling？I will be staying with grandpa and going nowhere." Cai jumped at the chance to gave himself an out，"It's no big deal.What's the worst would be treat all the villagers braised pork.Besides，I want to eat some.It's been a long time since I last ate it.Haohao，poached eggs are good for you.Take some more cooked especially by your mother.Then，I will accompany you to class."
