"Little brother, do you remember what our mother looks like?"

"I don't remember. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Actually, I don't remember a little, the conditions were not good, the situation was chaotic, she didn't even leave a photo when she left, I only remember that our mother was very good at needlework, and she always smiled and was very gentle when she did things. After Du Chunhua was silent for a while, he changed his mood and said: "When you were born, our mother was not in good health and had no milk, so I carried you around my back to find someone to feed...... After our mother left, I will boil rice cereal every day to feed you......"

Du Qiu's grandmother died in the spring of 1975, when Du Qiushi was less than 2 years old, his grandfather was criticized again, often not at home, all relied on the care of 10-year-old Du Chunhua to not die, she said the true feelings, Du Qiu also listened to the true feelings, because these experiences are not mutual care between sisters and brothers, but more like selfless love between mother and son, he can empathize.

"Little brother, don't have nothing to do here, go buy a box of matches and come back, light the lamp when you send a lamp to our mother at night, don't borrow someone else's, and don't lend it to others. ”

"Good. ”

Grandma was buried on a hillside not far from the ancestral house, when Du Qiu lit the lamp at night, Du Cunzhi kept muttering to himself, saying a lot of words that could not be heard clearly, and after all the lights were lit, he asked Du Qiu to kneel down and kowtow, and he squatted in front of the tombstone to burn yellow paper, and at the same time said like a family routine: "Xiaoyun, my son is back, I am very happy, you should also be happy, he is now grown up, his wings are also hard, I can't look at him every day, you have to bless him well in the future, let him be safe and stable, and live a long life." ”

The voice was a little low, full of vicissitudes and gratification, Du Qiu was gloomy, but also moved, respectfully knelt down and kowtowed a few heads, praying that grandma Quanxia would know and forgive himself for his audacity, and at the same time, he also hoped that grandma could bless his grandfather from all illnesses and enjoy his old age in peace.

Lin Dawei and Du Chunhua also kowtowed with Lin Jinyan, and after the yellow paper was burned, the whole family walked back in silence, and when they walked to the gate of the courtyard, Du Cunzhi suddenly stopped and ordered: "Chunhua, Jinyan and the boy of the Dashan family have been playing very well these days, you send him over there to play for a while, and then come back quickly, I have something to ask you." ”

Du Qiu was a little surprised, exchanged glances with his father and mother, and then said stubbornly: "I'll send Jinyan over to play." ”

"Let your sister send it. ”

Looking at it like this, my grandfather seems to have heard some rumors and plans to divide and conquer and engage in quarantine and censorship......

The winter in the Northeast is very cold, and usually the conversation and chat are carried out on the kang in the wing room, but Du Cunzhi walked into the air-conditioned hall, turned on the fluorescent lamp, and sat on the wooden chair next to the Eight Immortals Table with his sleeves crossed.

"Dawei, is Chunhua going to divorce you?"

Lin Dawei's courage for more than half a month disappeared in an instant, and he laughed very undisciplinedly: "Dad, who do you listen to chew the root of the tongue, there is no such thing, Chunhua and I are ...... well"

"Don't be perfunctory with me, tell me the truth. ”

Du Qiu peeked and saw that Du Cunzhi had a straight face as always, but he didn't seem to be angry or angry, and his tone of voice was also very peaceful, so he said helpfully: "This matter ......"

"I'm asking Dawei, don't talk too much. ”

Du Qiu had no choice but to keep silent, silently using the wild power in his heart to provide spiritual support for his father, Lin Dawei's face turned pale, and after hesitating for a moment, he regained his courage, lowered his head like a student who made a mistake and was caught by the teacher, and whispered: "Dad, Chunhua and I have the idea of divorcing." ”

"Is Chunhua leaving, or are you leaving?"

"We both want to leave. ”

Du Cunzhi snorted, neither angry nor reprimanded, sitting on the chair in silence, like a marble statue, hard and cold, I don't know what I was thinking, the hall was quiet, except for the sporadic sound of firecrackers in the distance, there was no aftersound, Du Qiu was a little afraid to breathe, for fear that the sound of anger would be too loud and provoke the thunder anger of his grandfather.

After about two or three minutes, Du Chunhua came back, and he was also frightened when he saw this, and stepped over the threshold lightly, standing beside Lin Dawei, who also didn't dare to come out.

"Chunhua, is Dawei going to divorce you?"

After all, it is a biological father and daughter, Du Chunhua is much more courageous than Lin Dawei, he didn't hesitate much, and he didn't hesitate much, and said directly: "Both of us want to divorce." ”

"You're divorced, what should I do?"

"I took it, Dawei gave alimony every month, and I came to accompany him when I was free. ”

Du Cunzhi hummed again, and then fell silent again, but fortunately, after only being silent for a while, he turned his eyes to Du Qiu and asked, "What do you see?"

How can I speak?

Du Qiu was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to slack off, and said carefully: "The divorce of my sister and brother-in-law is good for both parties." ”

"How?"

"Personalities don't get along. After Du Qiu finished speaking, he felt that this reason was too wide, so he added: "Now I am young and only know how to play, my sister and brother-in-law can make do with it, and when I go to school in the future, there are too many differences on education issues, and there will definitely be conflicts." ”

This is a fact that Du Qiu has personally experienced, in the time and space before the crossing, even if he was divorced and formed a new family, his father and mother often quarreled because of his education, and sometimes even disregarded his feelings, and quarreled in public, if he didn't get divorced, he would definitely quarrel more fiercely, and the ending of the quarrel, nine times out of ten, Du Qiu was unlucky, he had to learn a lot more things than his peers, and he was not interested in most of these things, he didn't care when he learned, and he forgot all about it after learning, which wasted his parents' money and wasted his own time。

"Dad, Dawei and I are good at getting together and dispersing, it's not the kind of relationship that completely tears his face, in the future, he will come to see his son if he wants to, and he will come to accompany his son if he wants to, and now he is still young, and the divorce has almost no effect on him. Du Chunhua knew his father better than the other two, and saw that although he still had a straight face, his eyes did not go cold, so he said while the iron was hot: "Dad, I really can't get along with Dawei, even if you don't divorce now, you will leave after a hundred years, and Dawei and I will be old at that time, and I will be adults, not only the two of us are sad, but he is even more sad." ”

My mother is very good at using words, the word "sad" is a pun, which not only refers to emotional injury, but also refers to the difficulty of life, Du Cunzhi's expression was obviously loosened, and he was silent again, this time the silence was very long, and Du Qiu thought that time had stopped, until a ball of fireworks suddenly rose in the night sky outside, he seemed to be suddenly awakened, and said: "After Xiaoqiu disappeared, I often couldn't sleep, and I thought about where he went, what difficulties he encountered, what hardships he suffered, and what crimes he suffered......"

He didn't want to say anything halfway through his speech, sighed for a long time, got up from the wooden chair, walked to the large frame with many photos on the wall, looked at a black and white photo of Du Qiushi inside, and said: "After Xiaoqiu came back that day, I saw that he was tall and big, white and clean, he had not suffered at all, and he had learned a lot of skills, better than staying at home since he was a child. ”

Du Chunhua understood, although there was no joy on his face, his body was obviously relaxed, and the whole person was alive, but Lin Dawei didn't understand, and persuaded him in a daze: "Dad, Ah Qiu is back now, don't think about the past." ”

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, I am old, you have all grown up, and you will handle your own affairs, I will not ask too much, as long as you live well. Du Cunzhi raised his right hand, wiped the glass on the frame with his sleeve, then turned around, his tone became stern again, and said: "It's okay for the two of you to divorce, but you must cultivate Jingyan well, he is very smart and a good seedling for reading." ”

"Dad, don't worry, Dawei and I will teach Jinyan wholeheartedly. ”

"So be it. Du Cunzhi sat down on the chair again and ordered: "Xiaoqiu, you go to Dashan's house to watch, their mother-in-law loves the short, and the son has great strength, don't let Jinyan be bullied." ”

Grandpa looks terrible, but it's not old-fashioned at all......

I am the trigger for the divorce, and I am also the fuse for unraveling, is it possible that my mission is to let my father and mother divorce smoothly?

Du Qiu left the house with a false alarm and crying and laughing, went to the neighbor's house to find Lin Jinyan, accompanied him to set off a few fireworks, and played games for a while, and waited until about 9 o'clock, feeling that the private conversation between his grandfather and his father and mother was almost over, and then he took his childhood self home.

It felt very accurate, there was a distance of about 100 meters from the neighbor's house to the small yard, and Du Qiu took Lin Jinyan's hand and walked more than 40 meters, when he met Lin Dawei who came to pick them up with a flashlight.

"Brother-in-law, what did my dad say about my idea in the afternoon?"

"Our dad won't let him change his surname, saying that his feelings are not in his heart and his surname is not in his deeds, and I will call him dad in the future, he should call him uncle, and he should too. Lin Dawei's voice was even lower and hoarse than in the afternoon, obviously he had cried just now, he handed the flashlight to Du Qiu, picked up Lin Jinyan, hugged him tightly in his arms, and asked loudly: "Son, who are you sleeping with tonight?"

"I'm going to sleep with my grandfather, who will tell the story of the battle of the ancient generals, and it's good. ”

"Okay! Sleep with my grandfather tonight. ”

On February 15th, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Dawei drove Santana, carrying a full of souvenirs and a relaxed family to leave Heping Village, returned the car in Spring City, boarded the train, and after more than 30 hours of torment again, he arrived in Yuncheng at 5 o'clock in the morning on February 17.

His identity is settled, his parents' marriage is over, and the vague past and tangled feelings have disappeared......

Renewal, new year, new beginning!
