Chapter Twenty-Three: Joy Descends from Heaven
This morning's class was in vain, and the teacher didn't listen to what he said on the podium, and his little head had been thinking about this matter, thinking of how to help my uncle make this good thing? Obviously, the little head was not enough.
When I arrived home for lunch at noon, I saw that everyone in the family was the same as usual, and there was no sign of speech and behavior, and I knew that the parents of the bastard did not come.
After school in the afternoon, I discussed with the bastard that I wouldn't go anywhere this afternoon, just wait for his parents at my house.
We played in the yard all afternoon and didn't see anyone coming, and the bastard winked at me when he left, meaning that he would tell me tomorrow if there was something wrong in the evening.
Just after dinner, I lazily brought my schoolbag and prepared to complete the homework assigned by the teacher today. As soon as I sat down, I heard the voice of my father's voice in the courtyard.
When I heard my grandparents welcome them into the East House, I put my ears up to hear what they had to say, but unfortunately I couldn't hear them as long as rabbit ears.
I wanted to go to the East House right away to listen, but I was afraid that my grandmother would be kicked out to do my homework, so I made up my mind to go back later, so that my grandmother thought that I had finished my homework, and there was no reason to kick me out.
I pretended to be doing my homework there, but I didn't write a word, and I waited anxiously.
I felt that it was almost over, so I pretended to be going to watch TV just after finishing my homework, looked at the uncle sitting by the kang and didn't care, and sighed in my heart: Alas, why aren't you in a hurry about your own big things?
By the time I walked into the East Room as if nothing had happened, the conversation was almost over.
I don't know what to say before, anyway, I heard every word of grandma's words in the back, and grandma said: "Yan mother, my eldest sister, don't mention this matter again, you say a thousand things and ten thousand, don't care what the reason, we can't agree." What are the four of us? What are you Yan'er? One in the sky and one on the ground, don't count those great credits on our family, if the eggs are good, it is because the children themselves are in good health, and it cannot be said that they are good in my family. Si'er's situation, even one eye is disgusted, we don't have much hope for Si'er, just find a similar one. You Yan'er, we will never be able to climb high. ”
After listening to my grandmother's words, I was like a deflated ball, lying on my grandmother's kang, and my heart was cold.
The next day, for the first time, I was punished by the teacher for not completing my homework.
The bastard also knew that his parents had gone to my house, and as soon as they met in the morning, they asked me how I was, and seeing that I was listless, he didn't ask a second sentence, and the two of them went to the school with their heads bored.
I was standing at the door of the classroom, feeling sick and dying. I can't watch my uncle's daughter-in-law run away again. I know that my mother is resting at home today, so I want to go home and tell my mother first, if it doesn't work, I will reveal the secret of my uncle's treatment of the eggs to my mother, no matter what, I have to try, I can't let my uncle love in vain.
Thinking about it, I made up my mind and sneaked away while the teacher wasn't paying attention.
I ran all the way back to the house, and when I entered the door, I saw my mother washing clothes in the yard, my grandmother carefully feeding her hens, and my little sister playing around my uncle.
When my grandmother saw me coming back, she asked me, "Why did you come back without class?"
I said, "I forgot my homework." As he spoke, he walked up to his mother, and without speaking, he pulled her up, and my mother asked me, "What's wrong?"
I said, "Mom." You come, something. The mother shook her hand gently and stood up. I took my mother's hand, grabbed my grandmother and walked into the house.
Grandma said, "I haven't finished feeding the chickens yet, what are you doing pulling me into the house, you can't talk about anything here." ”
Before I could speak, Aunt Yan's voice came into my ears: "Auntie, sister-in-law is at home, why didn't you go to school on the first day of junior high school?" and then shouted to the uncle: "Fourth brother." ”
It's exactly the same greeting, that's how she used to be, and she had to say hello to everyone who was at home.
When Grandma looked at Aunt Yan, she probably guessed the purpose of her coming, took my hand away, and talked to her: "Yan'er, why is it empty today? ”
Yan Gu smiled at the little sister and came to the house. When they were inside, I took my mother in with me.
Aunt Yan didn't sit down when she entered the house, and when she saw me and my mother coming in, she said straight to the point: "Auntie, sister-in-law, my father and my mother came yesterday, right? They told me when they went back, I think they must not have made it clear yesterday, I will come to tell you again today, and tell everything in my heart, which can be regarded as my own proposal." ”
Grandma said: "Yan'er, don't say stupid things, my aunt knows that you are a good child, but you can't use your life's events as child's play, don't say it, we must not do this, we can't harm you for a lifetime." ”
Yan Gu said: "Auntie, I'll leave after listening to me, if you don't want me, I won't come anymore, and I won't mention it again." Grandma didn't say anything more.
Aunt Yan stabilized her emotions and said, "Auntie, you also watched me grow up since I was a child, I'm not a reckless and ignorant girl, right?" I saw my grandmother nodding.
"Since I led my younger brother to pick sour dates and fell waist, I have only realized what it is like a year, I continue to blame myself and regret, the bastard is the only boy in our family, and the whole family is a baby.
Thinking that his only brother was destroyed in his own hands, when he remembered and when he was uncomfortable, he really dried up his tears, and he couldn't sleep all night long, the taste was too uncomfortable and painful.
I don't blame my mother for treating me as a punching bag all day long, knowing that my mother is also anxious for my younger brother, and she will be angry and noisy when she is in a hurry. I know it's all my fault, and I don't blame anyone for not taking a good look at my brother.
In those days, there was no sunshine and no hope in my life, and when I opened my eyes, I was thinking about how to get through this difficult day, and my home was so dull that I couldn't breathe, and I felt like the whole sky was going to fall and crush our family.
I've thought about it for a long time, and I've thought about it more than once, and the idea will pop into my head in almost a few days. When I die, I don't know anything, and it's not so painful, but when I think that after I die, not only will my family be sad, but someone will have to serve my younger brother, and I will have to burden my sister and mother, so I force myself to endure it.
It was a time when there was not a glimmer of light in sight. That afternoon, after massaging the eggs, I suddenly saw the pesticide behind the door, and I forgot all my previous thoughts, took the bottle of pesticide and ran to the stove to drink, and after a few sips, I didn't know anything.
Fortunately, Chu Yi saw the first day of the year and called my father to pull me back from the ghost gate, so that I was brought back to life. ”
Yan Gu had a bitter expression on her face, and after a slight pause, she said: "I am alive, but my heart is still dead, I think that since Lord Yama will not accept me, then I will still make cattle and horses for this family, and I will continue to live a hard life." Although my mother doesn't nag me anymore, I'm more introverted, I don't want to say a word all day long, I don't want to do anything, I just want to take good care of my brother and work, keep myself busy all the time, and don't think about anything else. My nerves are tense every day, and I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to bear it anymore. ”
Yan Gu glanced at me: "It's the first day of junior high school and your family has given me hope, after the bastard arrived at your house, I came more, and I saw that your family treated the bastard like their own children every day, and they lived together warmly and amiably every day, which slowly infected me little by little, and slowly gave me the confidence to work hard to live."
It's like when I get lost in the dark night and see the lights, I have hope and a head. Auntie, I can really feel the sincerity and magnanimity of your family, I really feel that everyone in your family is so amiable, I want to marry the fourth brother is definitely not impulsive, before my brother did not get better, I slowly had this idea little by little, not to repay the favor, or to become a member of your family, take care of my younger brother and take care of the fourth brother.
The fourth brother has suffered such a great sin since he was a child, do you really need to take care of him for a lifetime, and don't need a person who can really take care of and love him for a lifetime? During the period after my brother got better, I have asked myself many times, can I accept the fourth brother? I am a person who has died once, and my heart is only slowly coming back to life now, what kind of suffering can stump me? I can tell my aunt with great certainty that I have thought about it and am ready, and I will stay with my fourth brother for the rest of my life!"
When Aunt Yan said this, she glanced at her grandmother: "I have said everything I should say, you can watch it." I can't marry the fourth brother, so I'll marry myself far away, anyway, the younger brother has recovered his health, and he doesn't need me anymore, then I will never come back, never come back!"
After saying that, he turned his head and walked outside. Grandma shouted twice but didn't come back.
Grandma and Mother were stunned and had nothing to say. I also looked at my grandmother and mother stupidly, and said coldly: "I and the bastard are both willing." ”
After saying that, he ran to school.
