I went downstairs, I knocked on my parents' door, and my mom was the only one in the room, tinkering with needlework or something.

I asked my mom, "Where is my dad?"

"Your father, don't worry about him. My mom turned to look at me, "What's wrong?" Tetsuko, what's the matter?"

I remembered that my cousin and Ryoko were both getting married tomorrow, so what should I do if I gave a gift or something, so I asked my mother.

My mother sighed and said, "Your cousin Yanzi is married to Ryoko." ”

"What? Isn't it? My cousin is so good? Will she take a fancy to Ryoko?

My cousin is twenty-two years old this year, and my aunt's family is rich in the countryside, and she is very beautiful, cute and sweet, so it stands to reason that she should be able to find someone with good conditions.

Ryoko is as old as me, but although Ryoko's family is rich in our village, Ryoko is short and ugly, and he is very dark, and he has pockmarks on his face, and his conduct is really not good.

I really can't think of how my aunt could have agreed to marry her daughter to such a person.

"That's what your aunt promised. My mom couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

"Why?" I wondered.

"Because, Yanzi is pregnant with a child, the man ran away again, and the whole town knows about it, who dare to marry Yanzi Yanzi is not small, and finally someone is willing to marry her, and it is too late for your aunt to be happy." My mom said.

Although my mother said it lightly, I know that this country values this reputation and face more than anything else, like Yanzi, who was pregnant before marriage, and was dumped by a man, in this country where feudal ideas are deeply rooted, no one dares to marry her, even so, in this life, Yanzi will not escape the fate of being scolded for a lifetime.

Fortunately, in this countryside, there are still people who are willing to marry Yanzi, and they can be regarded as having a home.

"What about the kid?" I asked, confused.

"Of course I did, this child just had been beaten for a few days, and he was in a hurry to get married. My mom waved her hand.

"Then there's no need to worry, I'll talk about it when I'm well. "As an educated person, I at least know that after a woman has a baby, her body is very weak, and it will take a long time to recover, which is similar to confinement. Now the technology is very advanced, but in this small city, there is no such technology.

"I can't afford to wait, if people regret it, Yanzi will really no one dare to marry again. My mom said with a glare.

"Oh, Yanzi is quite pitiful. "I also regretted it.

I heard that the man didn't like Yanzi at all, he just played, and he patted his ass and left, leaving poor Yanzi, hey! My mother was disgusted by this kind of thing, and her voice was a little high, and she said angrily.

"Yes, Yanzi is so stupid! Whose fault is it?" I thought again, how many people go to the hospitals in the big cities every day to have abortions? How many are minors? How many couples are really in love? And how many people have lost their precious first time before getting married?

How many of them can be happily together in the end?

They may not be blamed for this, this society is so open, maybe they once liked it. They're just going with the flow.

It's strange that Yanzi was born in this place, if Yanzi was born in a big city, maybe no one cares about Yanzi's past at all, right?

"When I see your aunt, say a few more kind words. My mom said.

"Oh, I know the measure. "I thought my mom was telling me not to talk nonsense.

"Your aunt has no son, Yanzi is married, and her family is so rich, as long as you say a few more good words, when you get married, your aunt will definitely lend us money. My mom said.

"Mom, why are you like this?" I shouted.

"You know that our family is poor, your father can't wipe his face, and wants to hold a beautiful wedding for you, how can you do it without asking others?" My mother took my hand and said, "Tetsuko, don't blame your parents for not being capable, and your father is not easy for him." ”

"Mom, how could it be?" I choked up a little and wanted to say something, but I couldn't.

I know my parents' love for me.

I wanted to do something, but I knew I couldn't do anything.

My mom pushed me twice and asked, "Did Xuanxuan sleep?"

I let out an "oh" and said I was asleep.

"You have to treat Xuanxuan well, it's not easy to be a woman, you must not bully Xuanxuan, otherwise you will have retribution sooner or later. My mom stared at me.

"Mom, I know, don't you know who your son is?" I said angrily.

"Don't you have something to say, what?" my mom asked me.

"Oh" I just remembered, I forgot to say something, I hurriedly looked at my mother: "Mom, then Ning Meixuan and I will leave tomorrow afternoon..."

"Leave so early? Xuanxuan finally came once, let her stay here for a few more days, so that she could talk to her mother. My mom took me by the arm and said.

"Mom, it's not easy for her to ask for leave, she has to deduct money if she goes back late, and she has a lot of things to do when she goes back. "I was impatient enough to make up an excuse.

"As soon as Xuanxuan left, you also left, and this home was deserted again. My mother's eyes suddenly dimmed: "Yes, you and Xuanxuan have something to do." ”

My mother suddenly took my hand and said, "If you have time, you will often take Xuanxuan home to see!"

"Well, got it. "Hearing my mother say that the house was deserted, I suddenly chuckled in my heart, my nose was sore, and I choked up.

Suddenly, my mom jumped up and started rummaging through the house looking for something, and I asked her, but she didn't say anything, she just buried her head in the search.

Suddenly, my mom was holding a bag of things wrapped in cloth with excitement on her face, and kept stroking like she was touching a baby.

"Mom, what's that?" I asked my mom in confusion.

"It's an heirloom in our family. My mom said as she wiped the dust off her bag with her sleeve.

"Heirloom, Mom, don't be funny, our family is so poor, where did the heirloom come from?" I couldn't help but feel funny.

"You forgot what your great-grandmother left behind?" said my mother, opening the cloth.

I saw something black, and I suddenly remembered what it was.

I saw this thing when I was a child, it was a 20-centimeter-tall three-legged tripod, but the body was all black color, and I didn't care if there were words on it.

Anyway, I don't think it's real, but my mom treats it as a treasure, saying that something that has been handed down from her ancestors must be a good thing.

I walked over and saw that there were dozens of copper coins inside, and the texture looked very similar to ancient copper coins, but I didn't care, this thing was not worth much.

When I was a child, I often heard my mother say that my wife and grandfather were practicing medicine in the Qing Dynasty, and their family was rich. My wife and grandfather have the ability, and they have entered the palace to treat the emperor's illness, so it is not beautiful. No one dared to mess with it within a hundred miles of radius, everyone admired it, and even the county magistrate at that time nodded when he saw it.

This treasure was there before your wife, and your wife regarded him as a treasure! Your wife and grandmother have seen countless treasures, and if he says something good, it is definitely a treasure! My mother told me.

I didn't think so at the time and asked my mom why we were so poor now.

My mother said that generation after generation is lonely, people, too rich is easy to have inertia, to your wife's generation, all day long gambling, drinking, eating and fun, all day long ruining the family property, how much money is not enough to lose so much, within a few years, the family property has been ruined, fortunately, at that time, your wife is a doctor, life is quite generous.

In your grandfather's generation, he lost even this job, and in your father's generation, he became a carpenter.

I said, why didn't my father learn medicine from my wife?

My mother said that your father's elm head was not inherited from your grandfather, and he couldn't learn anything, so he became a carpenter in the middle of nowhere.

My mom said, a little resentful. This head is as confused as soy sauce, and the cure is not a joke, in case someone is cured to death!

When I was a child, I often heard my mother say that I was stunned.

My mother hugged the tripod and said, "I have left this thing now, and I think it is an ancestral heirloom." ”

I asked my mother, what is the origin of this ding?

My mom didn't say it, and I guess my mom didn't know either.

Just when I was stunned, my mother ran out with Ding in her arms.

When I came back to my senses, my mom was gone.

I slowly calmed down, and I heard a "bumper" sound next to me.

The sound came from here, and I wondered what it was, so I went out and took a look.

Standing in the door of my parents' bedroom, I looked in, and there were several small rooms inside, and the sound was coming from one of them.

I walked over slowly.
