19. The family road is difficult

Today's life is much better, it was when Shandan and Mao Daner were in elementary school, during a summer vacation, an egg collector came, and shouted from house to house: "Take out the eggs that have them, and come to Luo!"

Shandan's mother took out the eggs that had been stored for the summer and sold them. As a "literate person", Shandan helped his mother settle accounts, and his mother took out a basket of eggs and counted them 1510, about eight eggs weighed a pound, but my mother didn't know how many there were when she counted them?

Shandan looked at the egg collector on the side, the handle rope of the rod scale was very long and there was a loop, and when the egg was weighed, the ring was also put on the head of the scale rod. Shandan felt that something was wrong, so he said to his mother, "Mom, look at his scale!

Shandan Mom looked at it, and the one who collected the eggs was really cheating!

So he told Shandan to count the eggs that he had weighed, and Shandan wanted to count the eggs that had been weighed on the ground, but the man said that he had taken out some of the eggs in his basket and mixed them up, and he could not count them.

Fortunately, he only weighed one plate, and Shandan's mother didn't care about it anymore, and the self-aware deception of collecting eggs was exposed, and she also made up extra money for Shandan's mother.

Shandan was very angry! Mother was reluctant to give even an egg to the family in the summer, and the tuition fee for the start of school, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar also depended on these eggs.

Shandan's mother grabbed Shandan and told the egg collector to leave quickly.

The man left the village on his bicycle and never came again.

After that, Shandan's mother told Sù Shandan: "It's not easy to do business, it's also to make a few small bucks in the wind and sun, and you have to spare people and spare people, he already knows that he is wrong, and he is also panicked, let's not care." If you're in a hurry, he's still afraid that you're not going to be able to do it, and he's secretly coming to harm you once, where can you stand it?"

Shandan didn't understand his mother's intentions at that time, but felt that his mother was too tolerant of others and treated her children harshly.

Shandan has always been haunted by a hurt by his mother when he was a child, and he can't let go of it when he grows up.

It was still the day when the package had just arrived at the household, and the family was poor and white, without food or drink.

Tie Dan'er's parents have gone to work in the fields.

When leaving, he instructed Shandan to boil a pot of fried dough batter and add small potatoes.

Shandan was only eight years old and was born weak, and Erlian was only five years old. Shandan wanted to take a few potatoes out of the underground potato cellar, but unfortunately his arm was too short, so he had to take a big iron spoon to fish, each potato was not much bigger than a pigeon's egg, and finally fished out half a pot.

Put the potatoes in a vegetable basin and prepare to wash and boil the paste, but there are strips and plates on the water urn, and there are five bowls and a column of cooking utensils such as chopsticks, shovels, and spoons.

Shandan picked up the plate and tried to put it on the pot, but when she turned around, she found that the pot with potatoes had just been placed on the pot, so she had to put it on the kang a few steps away.

Erlian crawled on the edge of the kang and watched her sister holding a plate with a hard work, and her little face was blue.

Just when the strip plate was only a foot away from the edge of the kang, Shandan finally couldn't hold it anymore - the strip plate slipped out of his hand!

I only heard a ragged sound, and everything on the plate fell to the ground!

Erlian didn't know why, but she was still clapping along the kang.

Shandan was so frightened that his courage broke.

She crouched down tremblingly, looking at the five bowls stacked together, the first of which had become two halves! Then the second, two halves! The third, two halves! The fourth and fifth halves! Shandan looked at the pile of halves, covered his head and wept.

When Erlian saw that her sister was crying, she also knew that they had caused a big disaster, and both sisters cried.

After crying, Shandan and his sister prepared to go out to find their mother.

I cried and cried and searched for a long time but couldn't find it, and when I met my aunt who happened to come back from the field, my aunt asked, "What's wrong?

Shandan said, "I smashed all the bowls in the house. ”

My aunt was shocked: "How many bowls are there?"

"Well, five. ”

My aunt said, "What's the?"

"No, I want to scoop the potatoes and boil the paste, and I can't hold it and fall off and break it. Shandan cried aggrievedly.

My aunt said, "You're going to find your mother?"

"Well, I didn't find it. Erlian sucked two strands of snot and said.

The aunt looked at the two children who were pumping and scribbling and took them home.

Each person gave half a steamed bun to eat, and said, "Your mother is in the reservoir, you go home first, and she will talk about it when she comes back." My aunt will take two bowls for you to use first. ”

Shandan and his sister went home with two bowls given by their aunt.

Shandan waited in horror for his mother to come home.

Before my mother got home, she heard that Shandan had broken all the bowls in the house, so she put down her shovel and entered the door without saying a word.

Shandan looked at his mother timidly, and his mother completely ignored Shandan. I just took a mattress and fell asleep.

Shandan was crying, but his mother just buried her head and ignored her.

Erlian came to her mother's side, and her mother hugged Erlian and continued to sleep.

When the father returned, the family was relatively silent.

Shandan knew that he had destroyed the family's only possessions.

The father washed the potatoes, boiled a pot of paste, and gave Shandan a look to tell her mother to get up and eat. No matter how Shandan begged and pushed, his mother buried her head and ignored it.

Shandan was very frightened and aggrieved in his little heart.

His mother had been sleeping without eating for several days, and Shandan felt that he had poked a big hole in the sky, and that he was a sinful person. What if the mother has something to do with her strengths and weaknesses?

But when Shandan saw her mother take her sister to the granary many times, she was worried that her mother would not be able to think of going to the granary and hang herself, and her father would tell Shandan to keep an eye on her mother every day when she went out.

Finally, one day, Shandan discovered his mother's secret: it turned out that his mother went to the granary every day to eat a few sour fruits without eating.

Shandan breathed a sigh of relief, but his little heart was no longer close to his mother. How could she do this to a child who had been in trouble because of her negligence? Such a torture of the heart almost ruined her childhood.

This incident has always become a hurdle that Shandan can't let go.

Just when her mother was very sick, although Shandan was sad and distressed, she never shed a single tear in front of her mother, and she shed many tears behind her back, but she never let her mother know.

Therefore, my mother said that even if she died, she would not be sad.

In fact, Shandan hopes that his mother will be good and loves his mother. It's just that she doesn't want to show weakness and timidity in front of her mother.

She also deeply understands her mother's hardships.

When he was still in Shandan, he was just sensible, and Tie Dan'er was only seven or eight years old, so his mother put the few eggs in the family in a small bag that she sewed with broken steps, and sent Tie Dan'er to a southern beekeeper who lived in the grove in the east of the village to exchange some money to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

The mother hung the small bag around Tie Dan'er's neck and told Tie Dan'er to be careful not to break the eggs.

I never thought that the more careful Tie Dan'er was, the more something happened, and he just walked out of the gate and walked to the gate of Li Er's house next door, "snapping" a big horse! The egg was crushed by Tie Dan'er.

Tie Dan'er ran home crying, and her mother looked at the pile of broken eggs in the bag, and raised her hand to slap Tie Dan'er!

Countless little things have made Shandan feel the pressure of his mother's difficult family in his heart!
