Chapter 9 Lemon candy and salted pineapple

Children from poor families may still be poor when they grow up, and they may be burdened with the burden of "You are already an adult, and you can't blame your parents." Such a statement.

If you want to change your fate, it is easier said than done, you can only rely on yourself.

The wooden bed gave himself a chance to go back in time, like giving Xiaoqing a bottle of ink, a blank piece of paper, and a pen.

And to write life, you still have to rely on your own efforts.

Bring a long rope, tie one end to each end of two telephone poles, put the washed sheets in the wooden basin, grab both ends and shake it, the smell of laundry detergent wafts in the wind, and my mother is drying clothes.

After the factory closed down, my mother and her co-workers went to the relevant departments to obtain living subsidies and at the same time had to rely on odd jobs to make ends meet.

Picking up other people's children from school, helping others cook, in such an unstable and unstable situation, Xiaoqing was dragged big.

Xiaoqing's family is relatively poor, but the living conditions of the family opposite are much richer.

It's just across the middle road, there is a lot of difference, many people's houses are handed down by the elderly, and Xiaoqing's house was bought by his father with his deposit.

The house opposite is much more spacious, Xiaoqing can only watch two episodes of cartoons in the evening, and their house has installed cable TV, so they can also watch cartoons in the afternoon.

Xiaoqing remembered this incident when she was a child, she didn't understand it at that time, so she stood at the door of their house, there was a little grandson in that family, let Xiaoqing go away, and that day her mother told Xiaoqing to go home and eat pineapples soaked in salt water, and then she didn't like to eat pineapples.

Since then, she has understood what dignity is, and she has also learned that poverty will be looked down upon and bullied, and these looks down and bullied, these discrimination permeate all aspects of life, it may be that you can't afford a small snack, or maybe a toy or a dress.

Today, the grandson of this family is at home, looking a few years older than Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing, who "holds grudges", can just take this opportunity to "take revenge". It can be said that it is a gentleman's revenge, and twenty years is not too late.

There are not many types of snacks in this era, and when you eat a lemon candy, you may store the wrapping paper in an iron box and take it out occasionally.

Xiaoqing opened the wrapper of a lemon candy and stuffed the lemon candy in his mouth.

"Xiaoqing, where are you going?" Mom was still drying her clothes.

For the sake of the face of the adults, Xiaoqing will not "bully" his children too much, even if he "avenges" himself when he was a child. The adults of his family treat Xiaoqing well, and occasionally give her toffee to eat, and her mother taught Xiaoqing that the family is poor and poor, but don't eat other people's things indiscriminately, even if you eat it, you have to remember.

"I'll be right here. Xiaoqing walked to the door of the family's house and leaned against the gate like this.

As usual, the little boy unceremoniously told her to go away, just like driving away a big mouse crossing the street, this feeling of being driven away, let her understand what it is like to be scalded by boiling water, the big mouse crossing the street everyone shouted and beaten, and she, because the family did not buy a cable TV station was driven away, it was really not much better.

For the lack of children's education, no matter how much material is used, it cannot be compensated. Xiaoqing thought about how to teach this rude, disrespectful, and disrespectful broken child who looked down on her a lesson.

"Let the little girl look at it for a while. "The adults in his family don't mean to drive Xiaoqing away, she is usually very well-behaved, and she doesn't eat other people's things, and most adults like her.

"Hmph. "I don't know when Xiaoqing brought an Ultraman compilation, which was bought by Xiaoqing when my father went to the newsstand to change the battery of his watch.

Mom often said that her father still loved her very much, and in the nineties, a twenty-eight and eighty-eight Ultraman compilation was quite expensive, but she didn't understand it at that time, children don't have any concept of money, and if you remember correctly, a month's salary is only two or three hundred.

In the 21st century, with a salary of 5,000 a month, it is not cheap to spend 500 yuan to buy a booklet, and in the past 90 years, nearly 30 yuan can buy a lot of things.

Not only is this compilation expensive, but it's also a limited edition.

After more than twenty years, the cover has been dropped, and it is still brand new.

Of course, the little grandson wanted to take it over and take a look, "Don't give it, goodbye." Xiaoqing hugged the compilation tightly.

"Come and eat pineapple, and strawberries. Mom shouted that Xiaoqing was going home.

Xiaoqing grimaced at the rude little grandson.

This time, I finally saw it, and I won't hate eating pineapple anymore.

Looking at this compilation album, Xiaoqing will also think of the picture of quarreling with his father in the future, every time his mother will say forget it, but there is a problem with his father's expression.

I didn't expect that after so many years, what can make people feel comfortable is the hurdle that I felt scared and thought I couldn't get over in those years.

I used to be afraid of a leaky house, but now I miss a leaky house.

Xiaoqing sat at a small square table eating pineapples, and said that the children of the poor were in charge of the house.

Xiaoqing, who is in his twenties, is often left behind and has nothing to do in college, can't write anything good at home, eats his parents' meals all day long, and lives with his parents.

I don't want to disappoint my mother, and I don't want her to worry, the mother in front of me is still young and can withstand the toss, the older mother always says that she can walk, carry it, and carry food and drink to the house, Xiaoqing has not gone to work.

When I go to work, I get up every morning to squeeze the subway, and when I go home at night, my mother has rested and has no more time to spend with her family, as some people say, sometimes it is really involuntarily, even so, she still wants to write something, in vain to try to change her destiny with these.

Cherish what you have more, look less at what you can't ask for, you will have a lot less pain, want to escape in the future, return to the family who is worried about the future, live upstairs and miss the tiled house, live in the tiled house and are afraid of leakage, the mentality is the most important.

Xiaoqing wrote down his recent experiences on a piece of paper and saved them on his phone.

Mom gave up a lot for herself, she didn't have time to dress herself, she didn't even want to buy water when she went out, she didn't want to buy expensive clothes, she rarely even sang, her mother said before that her voice when she was young was recognized as good.

A wooden bed that has been with the family for more than 20 years has so much magic, it has not exerted its power in these 20 years, can it now help my mother achieve her dreams?

In the era of cassette tapes, basically every household had a two-tone recorder.

Xiaoqing also had a voice recorder on her body, and recorded her mother's singing voice for her to listen to.

Mom sang to this. "Oldies were playing on the tape recorder. Mom sang a couple of words.

Running around for life all year round, when doing housework, my mother can also sing a few words, but she has never thought about being a singer or anything like that, she has never thought about this possibility.

Xiaoqing has complained about her parents, because other people's children can learn musical instruments from an early age, but she doesn't, in fact, her parents don't have time to care about themselves.

Xiaoqing handed the headphones to her mother again, and her mother Xi'er was like a child who got her favorite toy.

It's good to be able to record my mother's singing when she was young, my mother often said that if I had studied hard, I wouldn't have married my father, and I wouldn't have Xiaoqing, some things may be predestined, there are not so many ifs.
