If you don't like this chapter, please skip it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but I still advise you to take a look at this article, after all, it is an article that has swept the Internet in a certain year.
This chapter can also be regarded as the original text of the king's birth and my unborn life.
I am an orphan, perhaps the result of patriarchy, or perhaps the product of male love and female love and irresponsibility.
Tetsuno picked me up.
That year, when he returned to the city from the countryside to implement the policy, he saw me by the garbage heap at the station, a beautiful, quiet little baby girl, surrounded by many people, he stepped forward, and the baby girl smiled at him.
He gave me a home and gave me a beautiful name, Tao Yao. Later, he said that my smile at the beginning was worthy of the premature death of the peach, and it was scorching.
Tetsuno's life is extremely tragic, his parents are both scholars who have returned to China, but they have not escaped the cultural catastrophe, and they both abandoned the world in anger, and Tetsuno was naturally not spared, and he was sent to the countryside and separated from his girlfriend Lao Yan, who had been in love for many years. He remained alone until he found me when he returned to the city at the age of 35.
I call Tetsuno uncle.
Childhood doesn't have much unpleasantness in my memory. Get rid of only one thing.
When I was in school, a few naughty male classmates in the class called me a "wild seed", and I cried home and told Tetsuno. The next day, Tetsuno specially picked me up from school and asked the boys: Who said that she was a wild seed? When the little boy saw the tall and burly Tetsuno, he didn't dare to make a sound, and Tetsuno sneered: Whoever says that next time, if I hear it, I will beat him flat! Someone muttered, she was not born to you, but she was a wild seed. Tetsuno took my hand and smiled back: But I treasure her more than my own daughter. I don't believe who stands up to show me, whose clothes are as beautiful as hers? whose shoes and school bags are better than hers? She drinks milk and eats bread every morning, what do you eat? The children were immediately discouraged.
Since then, no one has ever called me a wild seed. When I grew up, I always laughed when I thought about it.
My life is much luckier than that of ordinary orphans.
My favorite place is the study. The room is full of books, and under the large bright window is Tetsuno's desk, and when there is sun, the silhouette of his concentrated work is like a backlit painting. I always look for books to read by myself, and when I find them, I nest up on the couch. Every once in a while, Tetsuno would look back at me, his smile warmer than the sunlight outside the window in winter. When I was tired of watching, I lay on his shoulder and quietly watched him draw pictures and write articles.
He laughed: Do my business when you grow up?
I pouted: No, it's so tanned, it's dirty.
Ah, I forgot to mention that Tetsuno is a construction engineer. But the wind and sun did not damage his appearance at all. He is always gentle and neat, and personable.
Intermittently, it's not that there are no women who want to enter Tetsuno's life.
When I was eight years old, there was a time when Tetsuno almost had to talk to a woman about marrying. The woman was a teacher, shrewd and beautiful. I don't know why I don't like her, I always feel that the smile on her face is pasted, Tetsuno is there, she smiles sweetly and gently at me, and when she is not there, the smile is like a trick and disappears. I'm afraid of her. One day I was reading a picture book on the balcony, and she asked me, "What about your parents?" I didn't come to see you once? I was stunned, looking at her and not knowing what to say. She snorted twice, and then said, this kid, stupid, no wonder they don't want you. I was stunned, and suddenly Tetsuno Tetsuno came over with a blue face, took my hand and went back to the room without saying anything.
At night, I cried alone in the quilt. Tetsuno walked in, hugged me and said, don't be afraid, don't cry when you die.
Then we saw the woman come up to our house again.
Later, I heard Zheye's good friend Qiu Fei ask him, why did he disperse again? Zheye said that this woman has a bad heart, and if she marries her, she will not have a good life in the future. Qiu Fei said, you still can't forget Ye Lan. At the age of eight, I remembered the name by heart. When I grew up, I knew that Ye Lan was Tetsuno's girlfriend back then.
We've always been close to each other. Tetsuno handled everything very well, including getting me through adolescence smoothly and healthily.
When I was admitted to university, I lived on campus because the school was far away from home, and I only went home on weekends.
Tetsuno sometimes asks me, "Do you have a boyfriend?" There are a few good boys in the school who always like to revolve around me, but I don't like any of them: A is tall and handsome, but his grades are third-rate; B is good at school, and his eloquence is very good, but his appearance is really ordinary; C is good in appearance, but his temperament is like a reckless man......
I rarely talk to male classmates. In my eyes, they are all naïve and superficial, and they don't have time to show their best side in front of others, they are too traceful and unstable.
On my twentieth birthday, Tetsuno gave me a ruby ring. This kind of sporadic jewelry, Tetsuno has been buying for me a long time ago, and his statement is: girls are older, and they need to have a few decent things to decorate. After eating, he accompanied me to the mall, and I bought what I liked immediately.
When I returned to school, I noticed that my classmates liked to talk about me behind my back. I don't take it to heart either. Because of his life experience, he is used to being discussed. Until one day a good female classmate privately grabbed me: They said that you have a boyfriend who is much older than you? I was puzzled: Who said that? She said: It is said that several people saw it, and you went to the mall with him, and made out very much! She said that it is no wonder that you don't look down on these poor boys, it turned out to be Brother Kong Fang! I thought for a while, my face slowly turned red, and after a while I laughed: They misunderstood.
I didn't explain. Sitting quietly reading a book, the heat on his face did not fade for a long time.
Go home on the weekend and clean up as usual. Tetsuno's room was clean, and a woolen sweater he wore was tied to the edge of the bed. It was a beige coffee-colored, bottle collar, and when I bought it, I originally liked a gray sweetheart collar, so I picked this one. At that time, Tetsuno smiled and said, Okay, it's up to you, it seems that Xiao Xiaoxiao thinks I'm old and wants me to dress younger.
I folded the dress slowly, smiling and thinking about some odd and easy things.
For the next period of time, I noticed that Tetsuno was in a very good mental state, walking with a light and agile gait, and occasionally I heard him humming some songs, which was a bit like when I was admitted to university. I wondered.
On Friday I got a call from Tetsuno asking me to come home early and go out for dinner with him.
He shaved and changed his clothes. I am suspicious: Someone will introduce you to your girlfriend? Zheye smiled: I'm an old man, what kind of girlfriend are you talking about, it's your Uncle Qiu, and there is an old friend who has also been for many years, you can call her Aunt Ye in a while.
I know, it must be Ye Lan.
On the way, Tetsuno told me that through Qiu Fei some time ago, he and Ye Lan got in touch, her husband died a few years ago, and this time they saw each other, and it felt okay, if there was no accident, they were ready to get married.
I responded casually, and gradually felt that my feet were cold, and slowly spread upward.
When I arrived at the hotel, I looked at Ye Lan objectively: slightly chubby, but not bloated, there was still a bit of youthful charm between her eyebrows, and compared with women of the same age, she undoubtedly still had an advantage. But standing with Tetsuno, who is young, she looks much older.
She was very nice to me, very kind, and looked like she loved the house and Wu.
When I got home, Tetsuno asked me: What do you think of Aunt Ye? I said: You are all planning to get married, of course I said yes.
I didn't fall asleep until the wee hours of the morning.
When I went back to school, I was sick. I had a fever and refused to pull the class, but I felt top-heavy, and finally fell into the classroom.
When I woke up, I was lying in the hospital, hanging a bottle, and Tetsuno was sitting next to me reading a book.
I smiled tiredly: Where am I? Tetsuno nervously came to touch my head: I finally woke up, the viral flu turned to pneumonia, you kid, you are always careless. I laughed: What can I do to be careful?
In addition to going to work, Tetsuno is in the hospital. Whenever he wakes up from a slumber, he immediately searches for him, and he must see it immediately so that he can be at ease. I heard him talking to Ye Lan on the phone: I'm sick, I haven't been available for the past few days, I'll contact you when she gets better. I smiled sadly, if I am sick, I can let him guard me every day, then why don't I afford to be sick for a long time.
I stayed in the hospital for a week before returning home. Tetsuno set up a sofa at the door of my room, and lay on it at night, and he got up to visit me at the slightest movement.
I remember when I was a little younger, my little bed was in Tetsuno's room, and I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, so I groped myself up, but Tetsuno always heard it quickly, helped me turn on the light, and said, "Be careful." It wasn't until I was in elementary school that I slept on my own.
Ye Lan bought a large bouquet of flowers and fruits to visit me. I politely thanked her. The food she cooked was delicious, but I couldn't eat it. I went back to my room early and lay down.
I dreamed. I dreamed that Tetsuno and Ye Lan finally got married, they were both very young, Ye Lan looked very beautiful in white veil, and I was so big that I was actually playing the role of a flower girl. Tetsuno smiled happily, but he didn't look back at me, and I could clearly smell the fragrance of lilies wafting from the bridal bouquet...... I sat up jerkily and woke up. After a while, he lay back and closed his eyes in despair.
In the darkness I heard Tetsuno walk in, and then the little lamp at the bedside turned on. He sighed: What are you dreaming about? Crying so much. I pretended to be asleep, but tears dripped down the corners of my eyes and ears like a leaky faucet. Tetsuno's warm fingers traced those tears again and again, but he couldn't stop.
This disease lingered for more than ten days. By the time he recovered, Tetsuno and I had lost a lot of weight. He said: It's better to go home and live, there are so many people in the school and one dormitory, and the air is not good.
He drove me to pick me up and drop me off every day.
His face was against his back, and his heart was always happy and sad.
Ye Lan never came to our house again. It took a long, long time before I was convinced that Ye Lan, like the female teacher, was in the past tense.
I graduated and got a job.
I lived happily and peacefully, with no distractions, just me and Tetsuno. Since I can't say anything, it's good to maintain the status quo like that.
But Heaven refuses to give me such a long period of happiness.
Tetsuno faints on the construction site. The doctor diagnosed advanced liver cancer. I was anxious, but I still knew how calmly I asked the doctor: How many days are left? The doctor said, "One year, maybe a little longer."
I took Tetsuno home. He was not bedridden, I went to work during the day, asked for an hourly caretaker, and at noon and night, I took care of him myself.
Tetsuno smiled and said, "Look, I'm being dragged down, I was supposed to go out on a date with my boyfriend."
I laughed too: boyfriend? That's not just waiting for thousands of rivers and mountains.
Every day after dinner, Tetsuno and I went out for a walk. I took his arm. Except for being thinner than in the past, he is still tall and handsome, in the eyes of outsiders, this is not a picture of family, only me, I can see the cruel truth under the beautiful appearance. I was sober and sad, and I could clearly see that the last days of Tetsuno and I were disappearing day by day.
Tetsuno lives as usual peacefully. Reading books, design drawings. The part-time worker said that he spent most of his time in the study every day.
I like the study more and more. After dinner, they always make a cup of tea, sit opposite Tetsuno, play a game of chess, and play a game of poker. Then help Tetsuno sort out his information. He made it a rule that I was not allowed to move a stack of things. I'm curious. Finally, one day he peeked while he was away.
It was a thick diary.
"I had two front teeth, and I went to pick her up after work, and I staggered and pounced on me to hug her. ”
"On his tenth birthday, he made a wish that Uncle Tetsuno would be young forever. I'm happy, little girl, she is really an interpretive flower in my lonely life. ”
"Today, I sent her to report to the university, and she took the lead in everything, and I was shocked to realize that she had grown into a beautiful girl, and I was dying. I hope her life will not be as lonely as mine. ”
"Qiu Fei told me about Ye Lan's recent situation, but the meeting was not as exciting as I imagined. She has aged a lot, although the elegance of her youth has not changed. She didn't hide what she still had a good impression of me. ”
"Pneumonia. I kept calling my name in my sleep, but when I woke up, I would only cry. I was shocked. I didn't expect that marrying Ye Lan would have such a big impact on her. ”
"When I came back from school, I felt cold on my back, so I took off my clothes and checked it, only to find that it was wet. Alas, this child. ”
"The doctor announced that I had one year left to live. I am not afraid, but she is a big thing for me. After I die, how to make her live a healthy and happy life is my primary consideration. ”
……
I held the diary in my hand, tears streaming down my face. It turns out that he knew, it turned out that he knew.
In a few days, the stack of books would be gone. I know Tetsuno has already dealt with it. He doesn't want me to know that he knows my mind, but he doesn't know that I already know.
Tetsuno walked in the spring of the following year. At the end of his life, he held my hand and said: I wanted to put you in the hands of a good boy, but it was too late to see him help you put on the ring.
I smile. He forgot, my ring, and he bought it for me when I was twenty years old.
There was a letter from him in the desk drawer, a few short sentences: I am gone, you can miss me, but don't think of me all the time, you can live a peaceful and peaceful life, which is the greatest comfort to me. Uncle.
I didn't cry all night.
When I woke up in the middle of the night, I could still hear him say, "Be careful."
When sorting out the sundries in the study, I found a dusty clay pot in the corner of the cabinet, which was very simple and interesting, I took it out, washed it, and stayed, there was no decoration on it, only four sentences of face: I was not born, I was old. Hate is not born at the same time, and every day is good with you.
At this time, my tears poured down unscrupulously.
