Chapter 26: The First
In the days when my mother was hospitalized, my sister temporarily stayed at my aunt's house, because the two families were close to each other, and my aunt took good care of her, and my mother was also very relieved.
My sister has gone to elementary school, and when you walk out of the alley, you can see the gate of the primary school, and you don't need to pick up and drop off your parents.
In today's current situation of shortage of educational resources, the value of school district housing is especially reflected.
My mother was discharged from the hospital and went home, and my sister was naturally picked up.
There is no TV at home.
Every day after school and homework, my sister would go to the next neighbor's house to watch TV, and sometimes she would take me with her.
The 86 version of "Journey to the West" was a popular TV series across the country at that time, and there was no one.
I believe that the memory of the post-80s and post-90s generations will definitely be more profound, and it has become a classic that we are familiar with.
Breaking stone is called "Huaguo Mountain", and "Samsung Cave" has been studied for several years;
The shallow sea even gets the "golden hoop stick", and the underworld erases the "book of life and death";
beat the plaque "Lingxiao Palace" and kicked Laojun's "gossip furnace";
The Queen Mother made a big fuss about the "Pan Tao Meeting", and the Buddha blessed the "Scripture Road".
......
In my childhood impressions, the Monkey King of the Monkey King who flew away from the sky and had great magical powers became the yearning of all boys; the scene where Tang Seng, who "does not distinguish between right and wrong", drove Sun Wukong out of the division in the three dozen white bone spirits, once caused his character to collapse and was hated by the audience; Zhu Bajie, who is naïve and cute, lazy and lazy, and wants to divide his luggage and go to his own place at every turn; Sha Monk, who has an upright personality and is stereotypical and simple; plus the fairies and monsters in strange costumes and different appearances, have become memories that will never be erased in the hearts of the audience.
Once upon a time, "Journey to the West" and "Huanzhu Gege" tied for one of the highest-rated programs that were broadcast on various David TV channels in the summer.
Never get tired of watching.
Every night, when the whole family goes to bed, my sister is definitely not at home. Needless to say, it must have been watching TV at the next door neighbor's house.
Normally, it is the mother who goes to find her sister to come home. Many times, the neighbors have already turned off the lights and gone to bed, but my sister is the only one sitting on the small bench watching TV.
At that time, the concept of "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors" was vividly reflected in real life, and the relationship between neighbors was very harmonious, no different from a family.
There is no need to consider the relationship between face or favors, no one will let the situation of "neighbors don't know each other, old and dead don't get along" in high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete, let alone take the initiative to take a little girl home.
Moreover, as long as my sister is there, the neighbor never locks the door when she sleeps at night, allowing my sister to enjoy the good time on TV, on the one hand, she will get up and lock the door after her sister is gone, and on the other hand, it is convenient for parents to come and take their children home.
Of course, my mother would help lock the door of the neighbor's house when she picked up my sister home.
Let's take a typical example of a neighborhood relationship.
At that time, many families kept dogs in order to take care of their homes, and once a stranger visited, the dog would bark very fiercely, which played a role in reminding the owner. When neighbors who are familiar with each other visit each other, dogs will not take the initiative to bark or bite, because they are so familiar that dogs do not think that the other party is an outsider or stranger.
What's more, such as the familiarity between my family and Fa Xiaoleizi's family.
Whenever I go to his house to play, his dog will take the initiative to come up and wag his tail with me, and I can also tease him intimately. Occasionally, he can help keep an eye on the dog and keep it from yelling at other strangers.
The most worrying thing is that my father goes to find my sister home in the evening.
As long as my father went to look for it, my sister would definitely be beaten up. In today's popular phrase, it is really "disagreeable" to do it, to be precise, "whenever there is disobedience", it is to do it.
Domestic violence has become a "routine" for my sister in daily life.
My sister's personality follows her father, stubborn and stubborn.
The more her father beat her, the more she resisted, and the more fierce she became, the more fierce the resistance, and eventually led to the more severe the beating she received, which seemed to be an infinite loop.
"A small beating in two days, a big beating in three days" is a very common thing, and when there is nothing to do on the weekend, it will also be beaten two or three times, so that the bored father can pass the leisure time and enrich his spare time.
It goes without saying that the sister's natural "glory" inherited the role of her mother who was subjected to domestic violence, and became a substitute for her mother to the letter.
Some people will question, it is natural for a father to beat his child, and the child is not sensible, so shouldn't he just go along with it? Isn't it an exaggeration to say that he will be beaten so much? Tiger poison does not eat children!
In fact, it's not an exaggeration at all, my father is a person with violent tendencies, and the patriarchal thinking is extremely deep-rooted, and my mother's experience is a living example, my sister is not only naughty, but also one of the important reasons why she is often beaten after she is sensible.
Sometimes I also wonder if Mei Xiangnan, the heroine of "Don't Talk to Strangers", had not escaped from An Jiahe's clutches, and after having children with him, would she be the prototype of her parents and sister?
My mother has been married to my father for more than ten years, and she has long been accustomed to forbearance, fear, fear, everything about her father, and even more so everything in this family.
But my sister is different, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. As long as he finds that his father shows signs of beating and scolding his mother or bullying his mother, he will always "desperately" stand in front and ask his father unceremoniously:
"It's your fault, why are you scolding my mother? Who do you think you are? Why is a big man so unreasonable?"
"Drink! Little rabbit cub! Dare to challenge Lao Tzu's authority before the hair grows, it's strange if you can't beat you to death!" Then he greeted him habitually, and then punched and kicked his sister, slapped and slapped him, and when his hand hurt, he either found a broom pimple, or picked up a feather duster, and continued to "enjoy" the pleasure of his "conquest".
My sister is like a tenacious "Xiaoqiang", with a posture of "grinding thousands of blows and being strong, and letting the southeast and northwest wind", and her mouth keeps counterattacking "bombing":
"Hit it, hit hard!"
"Kill me!"
"Hard, harder, I don't hurt at all!"
"Kill me, you have to pay for my life!"
"Even if I die, I'll have to pull a cushion!"
In this way, the more my sister yelled, the more angry my father became, and the more he added fuel to the fire, the more ruthless he became.
This is often broadcast live in my home.
Every time I encounter such a situation, I am very scared, either standing next to me crying helplessly, or hiding in the corner and curling up and crying, or holding my father's thigh, desperately pulling him, crying and yelling: "Dad, don't fight, don't fight......"
At this moment, only crying can ease the fear in my heart.
Mother is desperately protecting her sister. Try to let those punches and kicks fall on you.
Many years later, I learned that not only me, but also my mother and sister, like me, could not help but tremble all over my body when I heard my father's voice, and even my heart trembled. Perhaps this is the mental illness produced under the long-term deterrence of his father, and the symptoms of fear, rumors, and all the grass and trees.
As the sister of the party, the seeds of leaving home have already been planted in my heart. Just as more than ten years later, I happened to see her description in her diary when she was twelve or thirteen years old:
"Today my mother was beaten by the devil again to protect me, for the third time this week! one, two, three...... I've already got seventeen deep whip marks from that damn feather duster, and my mother should have more of them, right? I'm sorry, Mom, I've wronged you! At this time, I have only one thought, that is, to grow up quickly, and when I grow up, I can escape from this family with no warmth, no family affection, full of fear, full of violence, and terrifying. Wherever you go, wherever you go, just leave. To leave is to be born again. It is said that home is a haven from the wind, where is my harbor? Where is the dependence? He is not my father, he is the devil, and he only brings me hatred that goes deep into my bones. ”
With my sister growing up, in my sister's 16 years of family life, domestic violence has been more than 10 years, or even more. After going out to work at the age of 16, returning home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival inevitably broke out a shocking family war.
Until my sister gave birth to a child, during the confinement period, because she stood up for her mother, she experienced her father's last domestic violence.
After seeing the marriage room smashed by her father, my sister was very sad, so sad that she cried loudly all day. Even so, he couldn't melt his father's "hard-hearted" heart even a bit.
At the time of parting, in order to vent his unquenched anger, his father smashed the security door of his sister's house, and parts fell all over the ground......
In desperation, and in order to better protect herself, protect her family, and maintain her marriage, my sister finally made up her mind and completely cut off contact with him. Then he moved away from the place where he had lived, not wanting to see him, not wanting to see him, not wanting to see this father, whom he hated so much.
However, the sequelae such as angina pectoris and migraine that fell during the "confinement", as well as the smashed home, have become painful memories that cannot be erased for the rest of his life.
As the old saying goes, "filial piety comes out of the stick", is this really the case?
Not necessarily.
In my sister's words: "The best destination is not to meet." ”
For his father, among the four members of the family, his sister was the first family to be broken up by himself.
By no means the last, though.
