Night 757 Nursery rhymes in memory
Nursery rhymes are always remembered in my heart, and the familiar people have left.
"Happy New Year, wear floral clothes for the New Year, eat well for the New Year, have dumplings for the New Year, but you can't eat enough, today is not the New Year, today there is meat to eat, but grandma is gone......".
Zhang Xiaokai was born in the old society and grew up under the red flag, witnessed the rapid development of this society, the rapid improvement of people's living standards, now he is a retired worker, when he is fine, he is in the park to find the old guy to play chess, drink tea, chat, life is very comfortable and comfortable, but when the old man is small, the days are really bitter scum, not good to eat and not warm clothes, hungry is a frequent thing, parents worry about three meals a day all day long, and the young Zhang Xiaokai is to eat this meal, looking forward to being able to eat the next meal soonใ
Don't say that Xiaokai is a foodie, because at that time, every family had a hard time, and there was no money-making occupation, everyone farmed collectively, and at the time of harvest, a little bit of food was not enough for the family to eat, so almost every meal was gruel that could be used as a mirror.
At that time, people were looking forward to the New Year, because they could eat a delicious meal during the New Year, there were dumplings and meat to eat, and Xiao Kai's family had five people at that time, father, mother, two Xiao Kai sisters and brothers, and an elderly grandmother.
Grandma is older, and her health is not very good, so she can't do heavy work, and she can't do anything except coax the young Xiaokai at home all day long, and do some housework within her ability, and is regarded as a burden by the family, even if she eats dumplings and meat during the New Year, she doesn't let her go to the table to eat with everyone.
Grandma knew that she was getting old and dragging everyone down, but she was a little sad in the face of such unfair treatment, so when she was coaxing Xiaokai, she made this matter into a nursery rhyme and kept humming, although she didn't know what it meant at the time, and the content of this nursery rhyme was all deeply engraved in Xiao Kai's young heart.
My mother, who was out of the field that day, suddenly came home, saying that she was not feeling well and asked for leave and came back early, just when she heard her grandmother humming the nursery rhyme, her face instantly became more ugly, but she didn't say anything, and went back to her house to rest.
Sunset, Xiaokai's father also went home from work, as soon as he entered the door, he was pulled into the house by Xiaokai's mother and didn't know what to say, that night Xiaokai's mother asked her sister to look at Xiaokai, no matter what happened, don't Xiaokai sister and brother go out, and said that as long as you are obedient, there will be meat to eat tomorrow morning.
In recent years, Xiaokai's hometown has been in drought, the harvest of crops is not very good, and the food we get is not very much, and there is no extra grain to exchange for pork, so Xiaokai has not known what meat tastes like for two years.
Xiao Kai's parents had been busy in the kitchen that night
At night, the smell of meat made it difficult for Xiao Kai to sleep, and finally it was dawn, Xiao Kai's father opened the locked door to let Xiao Kai's sister and brother come out, and brought each of them a big bowl of broth, which contained at least a dozen pieces of meat.
Xiao Kai was already hungry, he didn't care if it was hot or not, he took out a piece with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, to be honest, the taste of this meat is not very good, it is old and astringent, and it is a little bitter, but no matter how unpalatable it is, after all, it is meat Xiao Kai still eats very happily, but Xiao Kai's sister doesn't seem to like it very much, and she didn't eat a piece.
Seeing that my sister didn't eat meat, my parents seemed to be very angry, and reprimanded my sister a few words, and made my sister cry.
Since then, the matter of taking care of Xiao Kai and doing housework has fallen on my sister, grandma seems to have suddenly disappeared from this world, Xiao Kai has never seen it again, Xiao Kai has also asked his parents, but he was scolded, and he also asked his sister, and my sister said that grandma went to a far away place.
That day, Xiao Kai was playing in the yard with mud, and his sister was watching over Xiao Kai while washing clothes, and the old yellow dog who was sleeping on the ground at home suddenly stood up from the ground and kept barking at a small whirlwind blowing outside.
"Xiao Huang don't call me off!" said to the old yellow dog, who was doing the laundry, in a familiar tone, but definitely different from the tone in which the sister usually spoke.
My sister came to Xiao Kai's side and said to Xiao Kai: "Xiao Kai, can I sing a song for you?" Xiao Kai didn't know why his sister wanted to sing to herself, but she still nodded, and put on a look of listening carefully, seeing Xiao Kai's expression, my sister seemed to be very happy, and then hummed in a somewhat low and old voice: "Good New Year, wear floral clothes for the New Year, eat well in the New Year, have dumplings in the New Year, but you can't eat enough, today is not the New Year, there is meat to eat today, but grandma is gone......."
"Grandma......!" Hearing this familiar ballad, Xiao Kaiwa cried out, no matter how much my sister coaxed her, she couldn't coax it.
At this time, Mom and Dad came back from work, and the patriarchy in the old society was very serious, seeing Xiao Kai crying, regardless of the indiscriminate, he stepped forward and slapped his sister twice, and then he coaxed Xiao Kai softly to let Xiao Kai stop crying, Xiao Kai gradually stopped crying, and when my mother turned around, she saw her sister who was covering her red cheeks and crying silently, and yelled angrily: "Why don't you go cook quickly, why are you standing here stupidly?"
My sister didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly ran into the kitchen to make dinner.
The drought in my hometown has been alleviated, this year's harvest is even more bleak, the family used to be able to make do with a meal can mix a full water, now I have to be hungry twice a day, adults can bear it, but Xiao Kai can't bear it, when the stomach is too hungry, he began to cry, clamoring for meat to eat, although my sister did not speak, but I was hungry and fainted several times, and my body was already thin and skinny.
My sister is not a few years older than Xiao Kai, by
So a girl, the current food in the family is first eaten by Xiaokai and her father, and then her mother, and finally when it is her sister's turn, there is basically soup and water left, and after a long time, my sister fell ill and had no money to see a doctor, so she could only lie on the cold kang at home every day and endure hunger and abuse from her parents.
Xiao Kai saw that his sister was pitiful, so he saved what he ate for his sister to eat, but his sister only ate a little bit every time, and told Xiao Kai that he must eat more when he was growing his body, and not to save food for himself, but Xiao Kai still insisted on sharing what he ate with his sister, of course, this matter could not be known to his parents.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, once when Xiao Kai fed his sister, he was still seen by his mother, and his mother angrily snatched the rice bowl in Xiao Kai's hand, and scolded Xiao Kai for the first time in his life, unexpectedly this time he did not scold his sister, but looked at his sister with vicious eyes, and his eyes were as cold and sharp as a knife, which scared my sister's body and couldn't help shaking.
That night, Xiao Kai smelled the long-lost meat fragrance again in his sleep, and thought he was dreaming, but who knew that he really ate the broth when he woke up, and this time the broth tasted very tender and delicious, much better than the broth last time, and Xiao Kai's little belly was about to burst.
In the end, there was still some left, Xiao Kai secretly hid, thinking that such a good thing must be left for his sister, but when he secretly came to his sister's room, he found that in addition to a pool of bright red blood on the pillow, his sister was gone, just like the last time grandma disappeared, and suddenly disappeared!
It wasn't until later that Xiao Kai grew up that his parents told him that the meat he ate was the meat of his grandmother and sister, it may be that this kind of fratricidal thing angered God, Xiao Kai's parents did not live past the age of fifty before they both died, Xiao Kai has been frail and sickly, and he has seen many doctors but still can't find any symptoms, why he has such a strange disease In fact, Xiao Kai knows it very well in his heart, but he doesn't want to say it, and he doesn't want to recall.
