Comfort Women's Japanese Aberdeen (novella) Zhang Baotong 2017.12.22

For many years, the Luo family's life has been living tightly. With an average of only three or four meters a day, they can only cook some porridge for their children to eat, and they eat some miscellaneous grains for the old couple. However, the birth of her daughter gave Luo Xianxian her own biological children, and people are definitely different emotionally between biological and non-biological children. Usually, parents buy clothes and things for their children only for their own children, and Luo Shanxue, who is known as Japanese Aberdeen, will naturally be ignored.

In the mid-fifties, the biggest problem in the countryside was that there was not enough food to eat, so the village often gave members coarse grains such as sweet potatoes and taro instead of rice. Therefore, farmers will put some sweet potatoes or taro in their rice when cooking. At that time, people had a principle when eating, and this principle was stipulated, that is, "eat thin when you are free, and eat dry when you are busy." Usually half thin and half dry, mixed with sweet potatoes, green vegetables and the like. Some people call this principle "melon and vegetable generation".

This phenomenon is more common in rural areas in the mountains, but the village of Kogugu, located on the edge of the river road, is still a more affluent village. Therefore, this phenomenon of melon and vegetable generation is not that serious. However, the Luo family has many people and little land, and the rice harvest is still not enough for the family to eat, so they have to rely on the dry land on the hillside to grow some sweet potatoes and low-lying and humid land to grow some taro. Although Lipu taro is very famous, it is still a coarse grain compared to rice.

The Luo family's meals are all cooked by her mother-in-law and Wei Shaolan. They usually cook gruel, but they put some sweet potatoes or taro in the gruel. When the meal is ready, stir-fry water spinach or goose feather cabbage for a meal. When eating, Wei Shaolan would give gruel to her baby daughter, and the others would either be half gruel and half grains, or they would eat cereals. And those sweet potatoes or taro have to be served to themselves and their mother-in-law, as well as the son Luo Shanxue who doesn't let everyone see them.

As the mother of the child, Wei Shaolan would like to treat her son and daughter equally, but this can easily cause unnecessary quarrels and vomiting. Husband Luo Xianxian only recognizes his daughter as his biological child, and still treats Luo Shanxue as a Japanese boy. Therefore, if she also served fine grain rice to her son, then her husband's face would immediately change color, and he would say something weird about yin and yang, and finally everyone would be angry, and no one would want to eat a good meal. Therefore, Wei Shaolan had no choice but to serve coarse grain rice to his son. She thinks that her son can grow up even if he eats coarse grain rice. It's just that doing so makes her feel very unhappy.

And Luo Shanxue is already sensible, he knows that he is his father's biological child, so he doesn't feel that there should be anything wrong with seeing his sister being pampered and loved by adults at home.

When the eldest daughter was three years old, Wei Shaolan gave birth to another girl. After that, she gave birth to another boy. The birth of the boy is a major event for the Luo family. That night, when the midwife held the child up for everyone to see, the mother-in-law immediately shouted, "Chanxian, your daughter-in-law has given birth to a son." Hearing this, Luo Xianxian actually ran to the back room in shorts, looked at the baby with the handle raised high in his mother's hand, and cheered excitedly, "Our Luo family has roots, and our Luo family has a son." ”

Luo Xianxian was really looking forward to his son, so when he saw that his wife gave birth to a son, he was so happy that he didn't sleep for several nights. Even when I went out to work in the fields, I felt full of energy. As soon as he got home, he went to the back room first, held his son in his hand, and looked and smiled, as if his dream for many years had finally come true.

Luo Xianxian has never had a smiling face since Wei Shaolan was captured by the devil soldiers. However, how can he laugh when such an unfortunate thing happens in the family? His wife has let the devil collapse, his own daughter has died of illness, and his wife has given birth to a Japanese seed for him, and his wife has been sick for many years, and she has been suffering from nightmares and cannot conceive, which does not make him upset and discouraged? How can he still be happy about this sad and troublesome thing one after another? Even though Wei Shaolan gave birth to two daughters in a row, it still didn't make him feel happy and happy, because his daughter was going to marry for a long time, and there was still no one to continue the incense of his Luo family, and there was still no successor to his Luo family!

Now he has a son. They have a successor from here. What else does he have to worry about in this life? His son is so white and fat that people like it very much at first sight. Luo Xianxian has no hobbies except smoking in his life, and smoking has not brought him any happiness, but the son in front of him makes him very happy. He took him in his arms, held him in his hands, and then let his son ride on his back and neck, and he liked his son so much that he was happy to be a cow and a horse.

Luo Xianxian's family has always been poor, and because of poverty, he married Wei Shaolan, a 16-year-old girl of the Yao tribe in the mountains, when he was in his thirties. In fact, the Luo family doesn't have much money, and life has been tight. Therefore, this kind of life has long developed the habit of Luo Xianxian not spending much money. He never even bought himself anything to eat or wear. However, since having a son, he has become fond of spending money on shopping and has also become interested in catching up with the market.

Every time he went to the market, he would buy a few pieces of candy. He buys candy because he thinks it's a very tasty thing. However, he was reluctant to eat these candies, and he did not give them to others, but hid them and secretly gave them to his son one or two every day. The son's name is Luo Shanping, who was pampered and pampered by his parents, and he is the baby pimple in the family. There are good food and new clothes at home, and it is always eaten and worn by him first, and then the other children are considered.

Once, when Luo Xianxian came back from the market town, he bought a corner of candy for his youngest son. This candy is a penny a penny and is only available in the shops in the market town. Luo Xianxian put his 5-year-old son around his neck as usual and carried him to a no-man's place next to the house, so he took out a candy from his pocket and gave it to his son. The son put the candy in his mouth and asked his father to carry him to the threshing floor in front of the village to run and play. Of course, Luo Xianxian wanted to make his son happy, so he ran to the threshing floor with his son.

However, I didn't expect the eldest daughter Luo Shanying and her younger sister to also play on the threshing floor. As soon as they saw their younger brother eating candy in their mouths, Luo Shanying and her sister also pulled up their father's clothes and said, "Dad, I want to eat candy too." Luo Xianxian said, "No, this is a candy that someone else gave your brother." However, the two sisters did not believe it, because they often saw their brother eating candy, and the younger brother told them that his father had bought it for him. When the sisters saw that their father would not give them candy, they ran home and pestered their mother to ask for candy. The mother said to them, "Eat candy with your father, where did I get the sugar?" Dad had no choice but to take out two candies from his pocket and give one to each of his sisters.

Since then, as long as Luo Xianxian comes back from the market every time, the sisters have to pester their father to ask for something to eat, so every time Luo Xianxian comes back from the market, he has to divide the things among these children, otherwise, the other children will find him to make trouble. Luo Shanxue also wanted to get a share from his father, but he knew that he didn't have his own share of the things he bought, and he didn't have the right to ask his father to give him a share. Therefore, I can only watch my younger siblings eat what their father gave them, hiding aside and lamenting their life experience.
