The combination of father and mother can be regarded as two degenerate people warming each other. When they get the license, they are married. They have no money or energy to entertain guests, only the desire to live a good life.

After getting married, they moved from the smoke-filled vicinity of the chemical plant to the relatively neat Jixiang Road. As the eldest sister in the family, her mother's housework ability is first-class, and she keeps this small family in good order. My brother was raised by her to be white and fat, my sister's braids were no longer high and low, my father's face was bloody, and the whole person was much more energetic.

With a few lessons from the past, Dad was quite cautious about this happiness. He didn't dare to be too happy, he spent most of his time working in the factory, setting up a stall after work to make a little money, and carefully caring for this hard-won happiness.

When my mother got married, my brother couldn't speak, so he called "Mom and Dad" directly. Even Aunt Chen Yun wondered if this was the son that her mother gave birth to during her hesitation? In the face of her colleagues' doubts, her mother chose to be vague, and everyone thought that her brother was her mother's unmarried and pregnant son. In that era of conservative folk customs, she received a lot of criticism. But my mother didn't defend herself, which confirmed other people's speculations.

And my sister is different, when she moved to Jixiang Road, she was already three years old, and she called "second uncle, second aunt" immaturely. She is young, but she is extremely sensitive, and she rushes to do everything. It wasn't until one day, when she was holding a mop much taller than her and imitating her mother to mop the floor, that her mother realized that something was wrong.

After repeated questioning, my sister cried and said, "Many people say that if I don't behave well, my uncle and aunt will only hurt my brother and don't want me." ”

The character of her sister Tiansha Lone Star is innate, and it is also one of the reasons why her engagement failed. But she was young at the time, what did she know? My mother was so distressed that she burst into tears, and she knew that the people in her sister's mouth were those long-tongued women who squatted at the base of the wall and chewed their tongues all day long. Mom immediately decided: "Minmin, don't call uncle and aunt in the future, just call Mom and Dad, do you hear?"

By the way, my sister's name at the beginning was "Yan Yan", strictly speaking, it was not a name, it was the affectionate name of our generation for little girls, and after being adopted by my parents, my grandfather, who was quite inky, gave her a name, "Jing Min". As explained earlier, it means peace and tranquility, sensitivity and studiousness. But my mother felt that my sister was sensitive enough, so she changed her name. Before my sister went to kindergarten, the daimyo became "Qiao Lu".

Since then, my sister has become a child of our family. As she walked past the group of long-tongued women, her mother deliberately made her sister shout "Mommy", which shocked the jaws of those people. Mom also let out the words, if anyone dares to say that Qiao Lu is someone else's child in the future, then tear her mouth apart!

Therefore, my sister's life experience has become a taboo on Jixianglu, half out of the conscience of the neighbors, and half out of the deterrence of my mother. At that time, as long as she heard someone talking about her sister, her mother could really rush up and fight with someone. Her shelter is like an iron wall, allowing her brothers and sisters to grow up safely and worry-free within the city walls.

Therefore, even if the mother has a bad temper, the people on the grandmother's side are especially grateful to her. In the current popular phrase, "I'm irritable, I'm stubborn, I'm working until I break my head, but I'm a good mother." ”

Before he went to high school, his brother had no doubt that he was his mother's biological son. However, his first physical examination after entering high school filled his world with gray. My dictation is not strong enough, so I'll post one of my brother's essays here!

In the winter of 2000, the Gangcheng Evening News launched an essay call for high school students, asking them to write an 800-word essay on the theme of "growth". The winner of the grand prize was "Anonymous", but our family knew that the article must have been written by my brother.

"I Grew Up in Lies" - Anonymous

"We have been asked to be honest since kindergarten, and since the third grade we have written countless essays about honesty. Parents often say that honesty is the foundation of a person, and if I tell a small lie, it will make them angry. I have the impression that parents are the epitome of honesty. But I never imagined that I was living in a huge lie.

The physical examination when I entered high school was the first time I knew my blood type. I ran home in high spirits and boasted to my dad that I was blood type O, commonly known as universal blood. Dad said he was blood type A and was careful in everything he did, and Mom said she was blood type AB and she was the most unique in the crowd.

Mom's words made us laugh, but after a while I couldn't laugh anymore. We memorized it like crazy in biology class, and the results of A+AB could not have been O...... So, where did my blood type O come from?

I thought about having a chill down my spine and skipping class and going home. There was a small cabinet in my parents' room, and all the important documents of our family were hidden in it. There's also a locked wooden chest inside, and the tighter it is locked, the deeper the secrets inside.

I tried my best to smash the box open, but the secret inside completely crushed me. There, there is a photo of my father with another woman, a marriage certificate for the two of them, a thick stack of correspondence, and ...... My birth certificate.

I guess I heard that I skipped class, and my father ran home to catch me. But when he opened the door, he was stunned by what he saw. I had never cried so much, and I wanted to ask him why he had concealed my origins, why had he married another woman less than a year after my own mother left?

I used to think that I was living under the brightest sky, but I didn't expect that behind the sunshine was a haze. I shouted frantically at the sea, and for a moment, I really wanted to jump, maybe to another world, where I could meet my real mother.

But I didn't jump, and as the dark tide surrounded me, I saw my father running desperately towards me. His foot had been injured in the war, and once he walked fast, he was a little lame. He ran into the water, and his posture was very strange. But I didn't laugh, I wanted to cry more than ever.

Since when has he changed from a majestic combat hero to the most ordinary alley people? and when has everything he had been labeled as 'embarrassed'?

He often said that if a person tells one lie, he must tell more lies. He was a rather simple-minded man, and it was impossible for him to think about two things at the same time. Yet, in the last dozen years, in the most difficult years of his life, how did he make ends meet while racking his brains to weave lies? My simple-minded father must have had a more meticulous logic than a first-class detective.

He went against the tide of me, and every step was extremely difficult, and the roads he walked must have been even more difficult.

I suddenly remembered my grandmother, and every time I saw her, she would put her on my forehead and call me 'grandma's eldest grandson' very affectionately. It turned out that this honest old man had been honest all his life

, weaving the most benevolent lies for me;

And my uncle, whenever he saw me, he would say, 'Nan Nan was just born,...... so that he made it up, he didn't see me when I was born, and my aunt would also say, 'Your mother suffered a lot when she gave birth to you, and you must honor her well in the future.'"

My mother's good friend, Aunt C, buys me new clothes and a new schoolbag every year. After the birth of her son, this habit did not change. She said that because I am the son of her dearest friend, she will love me for the rest of her life like a son.

In this case, these are all lies.

Mom said that she doesn't like eggs, she has a nausea after drinking milk, she is allergic to the taste of pork ribs, and she has diarrhea after eating bananas and oranges...... So, I helped my mother solve the problem for fifteen years and eliminated most of what she couldn't eat. When you think about it, this is probably a lie.

Dad had already walked waist-deep into the water, and another wave might sweep him away. For the first time, I was afraid of those black waters, and I didn't want to die, and I didn't want it to take away any loved ones. So I jumped down and swam towards my dad with all my might. The waves were so fierce that they were just enough to hide my tears. Dad never allowed me to cry.

In the few minutes I had to figure it out—to put it mildly, the web of countless lies might have been woven into an overwhelming word of 'love'!

I didn't fully understand them, but from that moment on, I decided to hide my findings and pretend I didn't know anything. Yes, I decided, also to be a liar. Let my family live in my lies. ”

The above is the essay that my brother won the award, and the teacher's comment was also published in the Hong Kong City Evening News, "This is the only article that made all the judges and teachers cry." Mom kept it and secretly showed it to her relatives. Everyone unanimously expressed their willingness to continue lying and pass on this love.

In this essay, my sister and I are not named, he must want to protect us! My brother and sister have a magical superpower, that is, no matter how big they are, they will swallow it as if nothing happened. Unlike me, crying under the covers, smashing the table and crying, yelling at my parents. Because of this, I didn't press anything unpleasant in my heart, and I was happy like a little mouse every day. There are still many things in life, but I have never doubted that I am the happiest of all my classmates.

As I left Port City, I decided to write this story. I have a lot of reluctance to leave the place where I grew up, but there is a big question that makes me linger.

My sister is the child of my uncle and aunt, who is smart and dexterous; my brother is the child of my father and Aunt Tao, with an IQ of more than 130, which belongs to the genius level; I am the child of my parents, and my mother often says that I am the stupidest one in the family, so who does my "stupid" gene come from?

Well, the moment I asked the question, my mom decided that the first month's living expenses would not be given to me.

Hee-hee, just kidding. Swallows have to leave their nests when they grow up, and children have to leave home when they grow up. Wait for me to return from winter vacation! At the festive moment of family reunion, I will tell my new story to my dear family.

On the first day of the new year, I will give you a New Year's greeting~~
