Chapter 66: Heaven and Man Forever Separated
When she was five years old, her mother had a serious illness, her father was busy with work, and her brother and sister had to go to school, so she was placed at her grandmother's house.
At a young age, she was very well-behaved, always following her grandmother like a little tail.
Talking with my grandmother every day, watching my grandmother water flowers and grow vegetables, there are endless words to say. When she grew up, she talked less and less, and her mother made fun of her for talking too much when she was a child, she bowed her head and was silent, in fact, she wanted to say it because she would only have strong speeches in front of her grandmother**.
Later, when her mother recovered from her illness, she refused to go home, and she relied on her for more than a year until she was about to go to school, and then she reluctantly returned home.
It's just that when I have a little free time, I can't help but run to my grandmother's side, she is the most diligent child in my grandmother's house, and her relationship with my grandmother is far more than that of my grandmother who lives in a yard.
Yafu loves to listen to her grandmother, a former lady, talk about her childhood and youth. It's like listening to a story, after a long time, I feel that in that era, the young, lovely and delicate daughter also spent the best years of her life.
What Jave remembers most is that when she was a child, her grandmother was also a naughty and pitiful little girl.
In the past, girls had to be forcibly bound by adults. In the morning, someone specially wrapped her feet, and at night, her feet were swollen and uncomfortable, so the nurse secretly opened them for her, slept with peace of mind, and helped her fool them early in the morning.
When she was checked back, she was inevitably scolded, saying that she didn't sleep honestly at the girl's house. Because of this, her little feet are half-finished, only the little finger and ring finger are squeezed out of shape, and she walks more easily than other old ladies.
Still, Jave was sad for a while every time he looked at his half-deformed foot.
But grandma always smiled and said: "It's okay to suffer a little hardship and a little sin, the most important thing is not to keep thinking about the injuries you have suffered." What has passed is in the past, you always stare at the wound, maybe, it is scarred and does not hurt, but there is a ghost in your heart, tormenting you all the time, how cost-effective! ”
What she said was very practical and the truth was not profound, but that open-mindedness was enough to make her happier than others.
Grandma's elegance is also Yafu's favorite, it seems to be innate, no matter how deliberately she studies, she can feel the helplessness of Dong Shi's imitation. However, this temperament and tranquil personality still played a great role in comforting Jave when he encountered difficulties when he grew up.
Yafu has always felt that the most disadvantaged thing for her grandmother should be that she married a poor husband, and her mother-in-law is still very powerful, and her grandmother, who does not like to argue, has been angry for many years. After her mother-in-law is gone, her children are also older, and she continues to worry about it. Speaking of which, her happy life actually only stays in her mother's home.
The poor life of the family improved a little when she first got married, because her mother's family had many valuable things to marry.
Later, after her younger brother got married, her brother-in-law watched closely and was not allowed to fill her grandmother's house, but her grandfather's family had a large population, but there were few people who worked to make money. It's just that she has a good temper and a soft temperament, and she has been bearing it.
Her kindness is not only reflected in her treatment of her family, but also to outsiders. When my uncle was young, his friend and neighbor had diarrhea once, and there was no medicine for the child at that time, so he was stiff.
Grandma saw that he was pitiful, so she boiled two eggs from her old hen and secretly stuffed them to him so that he could make up for his stomach. At that time, the chickens seemed to be poor, and they laid fewer eggs, and only the main people who worked at home could eat a few of them all year round, and the rest had to be saved and sold.
So when the child grew up, he came to visit his grandmother during the New Year, and he liked to talk about the past when he met people, and he said that his parents were not willing to give him eggs, which were the most nutritious life-saving food in his life.
Of course, her compassion is for anyone in need, she can eat less, drink less, but she must not treat those in need badly.
Because she was a child of a large family, she was used to being loose and willing to give away anything, because of this, she was scolded by her mother-in-law, but when she saw that others were in trouble, she would still do her best to help.
Such a person can live to the age of eighty-five without illness or disaster, but how can a loved one take too much time?
Yafu stayed in front of the spirit all night, burning paper, chattering with her grandmother, and not making a big fuss, so everyone left her alone.
It wasn't until the next day, when everyone was about to get up and carry the coffin away, that Jave began to cry as if she had just woken up from a dream, and pulled the coffin deadly, refusing to let go.
Later, my sister said that she had never seen Jave exert so much force, nor had she ever been so mad, as if the coffin had been carried away, and she would follow her.
There was no way, her father and brother insisted on holding her away from the coffin, and they didn't dare to let her go until everyone was far away, she was crying so much that she was almost out of breath, where could she be comforted.
It was almost noon when my sister remembered and asked for a leave of absence from the Education Committee for her.
