Chapter XIV
When I was a child, my cousins were often organized by the school to go to the city to play flower drums, wear white school uniforms and white sneakers, and go round and round in the city, and were arranged for various activities in the city, wearing pigtails and blushing on their faces.
That's too old. And now the cousins are already married and have children. When Ah Fei was a child, when others got married, he was arranged to bring face wash or hand towels, and he usually received a big red envelope.
Ah Fei is the youngest of his parents' families, and they are the eldest. He was also the youngest, he had no brother or sister, and was the only child in the family.
From then on, the children called him Uncle Cousin or Uncle. It is also because of this, in both families, his peers enjoy the best treatment, when his mother returned from Guangzhou in the two years when he was a child, because of picky eating went to the hospital for examination, the doctor said that malnutrition, there are signs of anemia.
My mother then panicked, my father had been in Guangzhou at that time, and there was no one in the family. He and Ah Fei's eldest sister-in-law carried the wife and children from the county seat to the urban area, and to various villages in the countryside to find a solution to the problem of anorexia.
Now it seems that there is no problem with the development of medicine and the perfection of medical care. Since he was a child, he was frail and sickly, which made both families take more care of him.
In the eighties and nineties, there seemed to be a custom in the countryside, that is, patriarchy, often after the first girl was born, in the next two or three years, women would give birth to a second child, otherwise their status in the family would be looked down upon by others.
The nature of the boy is the continuation of the family incense when he grows up in the future. If the second child is still a girl, then you can only recruit a son-in-law who comes to the door, and the child born follows her surname.
In the eyes of the family, my mother was extremely intelligent. She is the youngest sister and has inherited all the virtues.
Ah Fei has been exposed to it since he was a child, and it can be said that his mother's words and deeds are very important to his education, and among children of the same age, he has not cared about some things since he was a child.
When I was a child, Ah Fei often ran out, never left home all day long, and after being found by my mother, I pulled him home, and I inevitably beat him, and I learned to run after beating Ah Fei, and often ran back to my grandmother's house from the street, and I didn't dare to go back for a day, and my grandmother held his hand late at night, and would send Ah Fei home, and Ah Fei was hiding aside and didn't dare to look at his mother's eyes.
Ah Fei's mother often said to his grandmother, you should get used to him. Grandma disagreed, and said in a strong tone, what is the child beating at such a young age, did I beat you when you were a child.
In an instant, Ah Fei's mother was speechless, so she had to use her eyes to white. Before his mother came back from Guangzhou, Ah Fei lived with his grandmother for many years, and his grandmother had a very big hunchback, and the cataracts became more and more serious the older she aged, so that she suffered all kinds of pain in the time before her grandmother's death, from the beginning of being able to move on the ground, to the later muscle atrophy, and she never got out of bed for the next two years.
The economic conditions of the younger generations are getting better and better, most of them have gone out to work, and they ask people to send some money to the elderly during the New Year's holidays, buy some food and clothing, but at that time, the old people have long been unconscious of these things, and what she needs more is companionship and time.
Ah Fei said that what he regretted the most was that he went in the first place and did not visit her once in those years.
The old man's sustenance became more and more longing. There is nothing more comfortable than being able to be free alone, and this is what Ah Fei's mother often admonishes him.
If the son wants filial piety, he will not be treated. The meaning needs us to think deeply, how many years later, I will be the one who will grow old after all, there are too many impossible things in the world, Ah Fei looked at everything after many years, he saw himself more clearly, this hypocritical and hated person, has no responsibility to abandon his wife and children.
It's the same as those teenagers listening to the rain song upstairs. A few days later, the school's sports meeting began on Monday, the school did not purchase any school uniforms and other things at that time, for the students do not like to wear, the price of school uniforms for each family is more expensive, and then the school requires students to unify black pants, white short sleeves or T-shirts, Bo Ge voted for Ah Fei as the representative of the class among many boys, walking in front of the sports meeting holding the sign of his class, Ah Fei specially went to his aunt to borrow a set of blue and black suits, and including shirts and leather shoes.
When Ah Fei walked around the campus in a suit, his whiter skin looked more straight against the backdrop of the tight top, which made this boy particularly attractive.
Soon, the sound of the school came from the loudspeaker, and the sports meeting kicked off, in the past few days, their second class won a lot of first places in the same grade, and those who didn't seem to like sports in Ah Fei's usual time seemed more urgent at this time, probably for the honor of the class and Bogo.
Brother Bo seems to be very literate in Ah Fei's opinion, although he usually has a smoking addiction, but he never smokes in front of students, and rarely swears.
Brother Bo is very concerned about the students who live in the dormitory, almost every day will take his four or five-year-old daughter to the dormitory, in the two dormitories of his class, Brother Bo will also play cards with them in the lower bunk, these people are usually taken care of by Brother Bo, of course, when they come to school on Sunday afternoon, they will also bring him things from their own land, tomatoes, eggplants, oranges, sugar cane, etc., Brother Bo's wife is doing sales in the city, can say that it will come, and will come back on weekends and holidays, every time I see students holding things, they will take local materials, and make a few good dishes to entertain them at night。
At noon on the third day of the sports meeting, it was an 800-meter relay and a 3,000-meter run, Ah Fei squatted and pulled his tendons behind the playground class.
Tian Hao is one of them, tall and thin like Ah Fei, his face is more handsome than Ah Fei, and he is about to run away.
After that, Ah Fei arrived, and soon when the physical education teacher's whistle sounded, the people on the starting line rushed forward, and Ah Fei began to run with all his might, lap after lap, and every time he ran to his class, Ah Fei would shout that there were still a few laps, as if for him, this was the final countdown.
After four or five laps, Ah Fei didn't have the momentum to start, his physical strength was obviously insufficient, and he didn't know who was shouting his name from behind, Ah Fei looked back and looked, it didn't matter, but he tripped under his feet, and the whole person pounced out by inertia and fell to the ground hard.
Ate a mouthful of ash. Ah Fei got up from the ground and cursed. The referee's whistle also blew, and the first place had been produced, dusty-faced, patted the dust on his body, and walked back to his class, the classmates were sighing and joking at the same time, did you see a girl calling you, absent-minded, Li Hao said excitedly on the side, get out, Ah Fei said.
I didn't see it all down, and I'm still laughing here. Waited for a while, the school began to announce the results of this afternoon's competition on the rostrum, and Ah Fei's class did not win the rankings in the two events, shouldn't it be Tian Hao, the last baton of the relay is Tian Hao, what's the matter with you, Ah Fei thought in his heart and turned his head to him and said, You can usually run so much or the sports committee, you are not ashamed, and you lost the last baton.
Li Hao smiled and said, don't talk about others, look at yourself. Ah Fei glared at him at this time and said I just saw a few good-looking girls together, looking at his eyes, Li Hao closed his mouth with interest.
Tian Hao didn't speak, he usually talks less, and after a while, he said that the last stick just now was originally the top three, and one of the fourth class ran the wrong way, blocking in front of me, and the referee didn't blow the whistle, so I could only run behind.
