(forty-six)
At the end of 88, Xiaoxian went to work and didn't return home until a month before she went into labor, because she said that this hand-to-face work had no effect on the child in her womb. As a result, it was only about 20 days after I went back, that is, I gave birth to a child on the sixteenth day of the lunar month. She gave birth to a daughter, named Gu Yuyun.
After she gave birth to a child, Gu Xiaocheng took good care of her. Maybe he also did it when he saw that his mother was sick, because if he didn't do many things, only his mother would do it, because Xiaoxian couldn't do things during confinement. After all, as a son, he will still be considerate of his mother.
Xiaoxian has been taking her child to kindergarten at the age of three at home, so she found another factory to work, because there was no shortage of people in that factory. Her home was normal in those years. Although he was poor, nothing big happened.
It's just that a few months after she gave birth to a child, Gu Xiaocheng saw that there were not so many things at home, and he could afford to throw it away, and he returned to his previous normal state of ignoring the family. He is still like that, except for work, at night and Sunday, he is free, playing cards and drinking to play with him.
Since Sheffield opened the store, Xiaoxian is a little closer to her than before, and it is more convenient to come to her store than before. Therefore, in the three years she has been raising children, she often comes to sit here at Sheffield.
Xiaoxian's child is ten months older than Xie Fei's child, although this ancient rhyme is only ten months older, but her personality is like her mother Xiaoxian, she is smart and can speak. Xie Fei's child Liu Xunfei's personality is like his father Liu Jiesheng, he is honest and kind, and he doesn't talk much. But the two of them have been relatively good since they were young.
It's just that when this rhyme was small, she was always unconvinced that this Xunfei was younger than her, how could she be her little uncle again, she often said: "You are younger than me, you should be my little brother, why does my mother always teach me to call you little uncle." What did Xun Fei say, he said: "If you want to call me little brother, just call me little brother, this name is weird for their adults, we can just ignore her." So Yuyun often calls him little brother when she sees him, and she is often talked about by Xiaoxian.
When they grow up year by year, they feel funny when they are young, but their feelings are still like that of sisters and brothers.
When Yuyun was just in elementary school, her mother-in-law died. When her mother-in-law knew that she was no longer good, she called Xiaoxian to her side and said intermittently: "My good daughter-in-law, I can't do it now, and this family depends on you now." It's all my fault, I didn't discipline my son well, after I'm gone, you still have to talk to him properly, and he will listen slowly. What I can't worry about the most is that I'm afraid that he will make mistakes outside, and I'm also worried that he will bully you. For the sake of the obedient granddaughter, you can also rest a little, the family is still ....... Then she couldn't speak.
For most of the half a year before her mother-in-law died, although Xiaocheng still had to take care of his mother, he just served tea and water to make food. Like the meticulous work, Xiaoxian does, such as making, diapers, changing clothes, and washing and bathing. Since the death of her mother-in-law, this Xiaoxian not only has to go to work, but also has to go home at noon to cook and do housework. Only this old fritter Gu Xiaocheng has nothing to do except go to work, and his money is basically spent by each of him.
In fact, after being married for so many years, although Xiaoxian's mouth is sharp, she still wants to live as a family and affectionately. It's this Xiaocheng who is sullen and dull, without much to say, and his temper is weird, he gets angry at every turn, and many times when he starts his temper, there is no room for relaxation.
Sometimes, she also tries to create some joyful atmosphere, trying to make him happy. For example, when the two of them are in a good mood, she will talk about some interesting things, or tell some jokes, and tell some interesting stories. Even when he sleeps at night, he teases him to his heart's content, stimulates his interest, and allows him to indulge in obsession.
In the bottom of her heart, she hopes that there will be such love, such lingering, and such inseparability in love movies, which can happen to her.
But all of this, Xiaocheng is cold relative. He thinks that no matter how funny and funny you are, when you come to me, it is the same thing after all. I don't have anything funny, and I can't laugh.
You're just so beautiful that you can't be more pretentious, but that's what it's all about. The salt is only so salty, and the vinegar is only so sour, and there is nothing remarkable about it.
Gu Xiaocheng is such a weird, old fritter that can't be fried, Xiaoxian really has no way to take him. She is envious of her aunt Xie Fei and Liu Jiesheng, who have been married for many years and are so affectionate and loving as in the movie.
One night in the summer of '99, Xiao Cheng went out again after dinner as usual. At twelve o'clock in the evening, he also returned. Xiaoxian opened the door for him, and saw that his face was covered in blood, and his walking footbar was a little lame. She didn't ask him either, because they didn't speak many languages. When he came back and washed, he also slept. This Gu Xiaocheng slept at home for two days, and on the third day, he still went to work.
Later, Xiaoxian heard from people outside that Xiaocheng fought with someone else because he lost his eyes when he played cards. The reason for the fight was that he went out that night and played cards where he often played, but not only did only one person come with him, but this person was playing with someone else. So he had to play with other people who didn't play cards often. In the process of playing cards, the first time was still very good, and there were not many wins and losses. But the back is different, and the back is Xiaocheng alone, who only loses and can't win every game. His strange thing is that no matter how good his cards are, he can't accept the cards, and finally he loses all the money on his body, or he doesn't accept the cards, and then he borrows, but the borrowed ones are still not convinced. When he wanted to borrow again, people were reluctant to borrow, which meant that they would not fight. At this time, Xiao Cheng really lost his eyes, he regretted that he shouldn't fight with unfamiliar people, and he suspected that these three people were uniting to play his old man. He thought: he has been playing cards for so many years, and he has never encountered such a way of losing. So when he was angry, he said: If I don't beat me, I won't pay back the money, and if I want to beat you, I can't play tricks. When he said this, the other party's anger stopped fighting.
Let's be honest: even if people can play tricks, and if they do, they won't admit it.
They spoke ill of each other like this, and as soon as you said a word to me, the last few people grabbed and fought hard. It looks like a one-on-three, but the other party is always fighting with him, and the person who is fighting with him is fighting him, in this case, even if you win, you can't win. The reason is that these two people who don't beat you will also pretend to change their wrestling (persuasion) to tie your hands and feet.
That night, this Xiaocheng really showed the fierceness of his student days, he was one against three, and after all, the injuries were not worse than the other party, but the money he borrowed still had to be repaid.
On the third day, when Xiaocheng came back from work for dinner, he said, "Xiaoxian, give me 200 yuan." Xiaoxian said, "What do you want money for, what about your money?" He said, "You don't ask so much, I have money, how can I ask you for money." Although Xiaoxian knew that he was asking for money to pay off the gambling bills, she was very unconvinced, she said: "You have more money to work than me, and I haven't asked you to take money at home, so I don't dare to call you to take money." Usually I use money at home, and I am alone with my daughter's money, so you are embarrassed to ask me for money. Xiao Cheng's face darkened, and he said, "Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it so much, forget it." And after the meal he went to sleep.
That night, Xiaoxian couldn't sleep after thinking about it, she thought: I met this uncompetitive guy, I have been wronged in my life, he is good, he supports himself so freely, he is beaten and owed, and he wants to come to rip my money. People who only want to get themselves and don't think about other people at all are really becoming evil. In the past, when his mother was there, sometimes he said that he was a little better, but now it is becoming more and more unpleasant, and he is still fighting outside, I see what he will do in the future.
Later, she thought again: Oh, seeing him so evil, my heart was tight, and when his mother died, she called me to let him order. You want to ignore him, after so many years of marriage, and he sleeps in the same bed. Isn't there any emotion, but there's still a little bit of sympathy. Whatever, there is such a person in the family, not to mention anything else, this has to be a name, it's better than those who don't have a husband.
Thinking like this, Xiaoxian's heart softened again. The next morning, she put two hundred dollars under his cigarette pack on the bedside table.
In this way, Xiaocheng hasn't gone out to play cards for more than half a month since the fight. Xiaoxian thought in her heart: I hope this guy will change his ways from now on.
But on the fourth day after the salary was closed that month, Xiaocheng finally couldn't control it, and he still wanted to get a handful of it when he fell.
Xiaoxian went to tell her aunt Xie Fei about these things, but Xie Fei still persuaded her: "Whatever he does, he has encountered it in his life, and he only has such a plain life, you are right, with this husband's name here, so as not to gossip." Don't say that Xiaocheng is not good at all, I don't think he will quarrel with you much now, and there is that when you have something to do at home in the future and need to use a large amount of money, such as Yuyun and then go to junior high school, high school and college, I will call him to take the money out. I think he's going to have to get some money out. Xiaoxian had to listen helplessly, of course, she also hoped that he could change for the better.
In those years, Xiaoxian came step by step in hardships and hardships. Later, her daughter Yuyun had excellent reading results, and she devoted all her energy to her daughter, even if she was frugal and debt-saving, she let her daughter study seriously.
But in the end, the two of them became more and more divided. That is, when Xiaoyu met in the spring of 2008, the two of them had already reached the point of incompatibility.
