Chapter 40: Mother's Teachings
Although I am "well-informed", I have long been accustomed to domestic wars and domestic violence, but it is the first time that such a "thriller and horror" live broadcast with a strong realistic theme is real.
The scene in front of me had already frightened my legs, my heart beat faster, and my whole body trembled, especially when I saw the swarthy kitchen knife flying back and forth in the hands of the hero, as if the predictable bloody horror picture had been presented in front of me.
Here I have to boast about my quick wit and courage and decisiveness.
I don't know where I got the courage, but as if I had suddenly thought of something, I immediately picked up the key, and ran to the gate crying.
Know that things backfire from time to time.
A pair of small hands trembled, and countless attempts were made to insert the key into the lock. The more anxious you are, the more you can't plug it in, and the more you plug it in, the more you can't find the lock hole.
At this critical moment, the key actually fell to the ground!
"Ahhh......h
I yelled a few times in anger, for fear that I would come back late and see a scene that no one wanted to see, and face the result that no one wanted to face!
The Book of Changes records: The Great Dao is fifty, the Tianyan is forty-nine, and the human shield is one.
It makes sense.
In this matter, I am one of those who was "shielded" by the Heavenly Dao.
Heaven still has some favor for me, and finally—
I don't know how many times I failed, "with great difficulty", and with all the "strength", I finally succeeded in opening the lock under the response of "Ka" in my life, and rushed to the neighbor's house after opening the door......
ran to the door of the leader's house, banged on the door with all his strength, and yelled:
"Kill, come and help, kill......"
The follow-up development of things, I believe everyone guessed that eight or nine are not far from ten.
My father was dragged by a neighbor and spent a Spring Festival at the neighbor's house, which ended with my sister and mother covered in bruises.
Fortunately, during the time period when I ran out to "move the rescuers", the daunting kitchen knife in the hero's hand did not hurt my mother and sister, which was indeed a blessing in misfortune.
At around 3:00 in the morning, my sister choked up with tears and packed her luggage resolutely, and resolutely decided to leave this "pseudo-harbor" that made her sad, sad, sad, and sad.
The mother was afraid that after suffering the "ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulty" overnight, the elder sister, who was covered in bruises, was alone and "couldn't think about it" and had unexpected dangers, so she also resolutely stopped her sister's action.
In this way, in the weather of more than ten degrees below zero, on the special day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, which is celebrated by the whole country, my mother sat on the ground outside the gate of my sister's thigh and cried all night.
I stood there dumbfounded, listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter.
"Mom, please, just let me go!" my sister pulled the suitcase, crying and begging.
"No, Mom can't let you go, it's so late, it has to be dawn to leave. Mother pretended to be strong and said unceremoniously.
"Mom, just let me go, I don't want to stay here for a minute, I'm uncomfortable, I'm going to die, you know?"
"Mom knows, Mom knows, Mom knows that you have a stomach full of grievances, and your dad shouldn't beat you......"
"He's not my dad!" the sister interrupted her mother, "I don't have a dad like that either!".
"Listen to Mom, go home with Mom, if you want to leave, you must wait until dawn, Mom will never stop you at that time. But not now!"
"Go home, hehe! For me it's just two small broken houses, I don't have a home, and I won't go in!"
"Okay, then mom will always be with you. The mother clenched her sister's arms on her left leg, still resolute.
"Mom, it's too cold on the ground, you get up first, otherwise it's not good for your legs!" Seeing her mother sitting on the cold ground, still holding herself tightly, my sister couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and helped her mother hard.
However, the mother remained unmoved.
"You go home with your mother, and your mother will get up!" the mother and daughter froze together.
Seeing such a scene, my sister, who was in mixed moods, suddenly burst into tears.
"Uh......h Mom, just let me go!...... Please, please, look at me, do I still look like a human being? Woo...... Have pity on me!......"
may have been affected by her sister's mood, and her mother also cried bitterly:
"Uh......h Xiaowei, Mom is sorry for you! Let you come back for the New Year and suffer so much grievances and pain! Woo......"
"Yes, you're right......! It's all your fault! It's not that I'm beaten to defend you? Look at what you're married!"
"Uh......h I'll never come back...... Never!"
......
One of the mother and daughter sat on the ground, hugging the other's "thigh", and the other pulled a suitcase and stood against the wall.
You complained, complained, moaned, crossbowed, and cried together all night until dawn.
Against the backdrop of firecrackers and fireworks, the whole family spent the Chinese New Year's Eve in such a strange way, which can be regarded as following the custom of "staying up for the year".
It was as if the familiar scene had happened somewhere deep in my mother's memory.
When did it happen?
Oh yes!
It was when Grandma was waiting for her mother's "confinement" to leave, and the scene of that night was so similar, but Grandma finally left at night.
Maybe it's because the departure of my loved ones has stung my mother's hidden sore spot in my heart, right? So, this is one of the reasons why I would rather keep my sister despite the recurrence of the leg that I had surgery!
After such an all-night "celebration", our Chinese New Year's Eve "New Year's Eve Celebration" is also over.
Of course, the smell of the Spring Festival is also lost in such an environment, except for the strong smell of gunpowder, nothing else.
Sleepless nights.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the sun slightly revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, the sky was overcast, and a vague figure could be faintly seen in the line of sight, and when she could barely see, my sister broke free from her mother's arms when her mother relaxed her guard, and couldn't wait to leave this place that made her desperate countless times.
Before leaving, he left a message to his mother: no matter where she goes, no matter what, no matter good or bad, no matter life or death, she never wants to go back to this place where her life is worse than death, forever and ever......
Then, without looking back, he disappeared from his mother's sight.
Could it be that everything is arranged by God?
My sister's parting words are so similar to what my grandmother said when she left after serving her mother's "confinement" 19 years ago......
Since then, I have been mired in the contradiction of knowing that I cannot change the status quo, but I am desperate to change the status quo, and I am deeply trapped in the contradiction of "having the intention to change, but not being able to return to heaven".
I also deeply understand the true meaning of "manpower is sometimes poor" often mentioned in the novel.
Although he can't be as generous and righteous as the "Six Gentlemen of Wuxu", he will not blindly commit suicide under his experience of "defying the law".
gradually began to rebel against youth, rebellious years, rebellious parents, rebellious himself, and began a life of "mixed life". Under the "coincidence", he became addicted to video games and arcades. Because I've found that it's only in the moment you play a video game that you can forget everything.
In the world of the game, you can forget your troubles, forget your sorrows, and forget all the people and things in reality, as if you have been poisoned.
No matter how noisy, beating, or even killing people in my family was, it had nothing to do with me, and that was what I thought at the time.
Even if you don't play, watching others play, you can forget and forget everything in real life.
That's my spiritual sustenance.
Just like some ignorant Chinese in recent history, they are contaminated with tobacco and other drugs, and they can't stop.
At this time, like them back then, I was just a stupid person who relied on momentary pleasure and excitement to escape the status quo and dare not face reality.
Heaven seems to have sensed this, in the same year, my father's unit, the hardware machinery factory, has never been able to set foot in the tide of reform and opening up to continue to sail, but was smashed by the "stormy waves".
In this way, my father can finally recuperate at home in a completely justifiable way, and spend his days idle, running around, chatting, and playing life.
Although my father's factory was in a recession before, it was fortunate that it also had a single-digit salary, right?
What now?
The world is so big, he just wants to be chic at home.
The photo studio where my mother worked was also in a recession. I went to work in a private shoe factory, and became the real "pillar" of the family, supporting me and my father.
I finally realized that my sister was eager to leave home, but I never had that courage, because I was not her, my personality was different, my experience was different, and my path was fundamentally different.
My mother was not a good talker.
But he will always tell me from time to time, remind me, let me study hard, work hard, and only by making myself better and more outstanding can I be able to control my own life.
My mother told me that in terms of the current family situation, I had to rely on myself to live comfortably and securely, and all she could do was to do her best to provide me with learning conditions so that I could change my life through learning.
My mother told me that in the future, I should be kind to my family, especially my lover, and I must be wholehearted!
Mother said, never underestimate a woman's determination to share weal and sorrow with you, but more importantly, to cherish, love, and be considerate of your lover, only she will live with you for a lifetime, and your parents can't always be by your side, care for you, take care of you, and your children and grandchildren can't do it.
My mother told me to be good to my father in the future, because he was my father no matter what, the one who gave birth to me and raised me, and the one who gave me life.
Of course, these words were difficult for me to understand at the time, but they did not prevent me from taking them to heart.
Therefore, under the double pressure of my mother's teaching and adolescent rebellion, I fell into the contradiction of studying hard and "messing around" for a period of time.
It is only after going through a lot that I understand my mother's mentality and circumstances at that time, and I have slightly understood how difficult life is and how difficult it is to live a life.
Everyone will encounter difficulties and setbacks on the road of growth, and only through experience will they grow, gain and understand.
The rebirth of memories can only be seen in novels and movies, and subconsciously everyone wants to live again, but it is unrealistic after all.
Therefore, only oneself can know the warmth and coldness of life and life.
There is a particularly popular saying on the Internet: only experience will have, the self-confidence on the face, the kindness in the heart, the backbone that melts into the blood and the strength engraved into life, strive to live outside the story of the world, live the perfection in your heart, and cherish the best time in your life.
When I was young, I was confused, I was frivolous, I was unruly, I was a lost lamb.
Then, know how to return.
