Fifty-six, eternal scars
The autumn sunset also shines on another compound in Pingjing at this time, the courtyard wall of this compound is lined with tall and hard poplar trees, the leaves are already yellow at this time, and a layer of yellow-brown leaves has fallen on the road, and several naughty children are picking up leaves, picking out the stalks from which they are more flexible, pulling each other, and betting on winning or losing.

A woman wearing a military uniform and short hair with a briefcase is walking to the compound, the yard is a simple Soviet-style two-story building, there is a yard in front, at this time it is the time when the smoke rises, many people who get off work rush to the house, the woman walks all the way, all the way to greet people politely. Finally, he stopped in front of a building, pushed open the iron door and walked in.
This small building is the same as the building in the courtyard, but the yard is not planted with flowers, the place at the root of the south wall is a nest of pumpkins, the melon seedlings have wilted, but three or four half-yellow pumpkins are lying on the grass, next to the pumpkin are two rows of sweet potatoes, the vines have been cut off a lot, but the sweet potatoes have not been raised from the soil, the sweet potatoes are the only bright color in the yard, and the two crows of peppers are hanging red lanterns.
The place near the boiler room was originally a large cluster of moon seasons, which opened brilliantly at this time in previous years, but there was no trace at this time, only the land was turned over, knocked thinly, and the woman was looking at the empty land in amazement, and shouted to the house: "Mom, where is my moon flower?" That's a foreign species I got from a friend! ā
Following her voice, an old lady came out of the house, wearing a gray dress, a woolen cardigan over the skirt, combing her short hair to her ears, her hair was grayish, and she was holding wool work in her hand, and said to the woman: "This is not bad for me, it was your father who did it, what kind of greenhouse he wants to build, and after looking for a long time, he aimed at your piece of land." ā
"Mom, why don't you stop him! Look at our yard, it's almost a rural area, pumpkin potatoes and sweet potatoes, only my flowers are still a little emotional, now it's okay, I can't even find the roots that have been cut down! The woman was so angry that she shouted to her mother, "What is this flower, it is to make people feel happy, it is spiritual food, what are vegetables, it is only for satiety, to meet the most basic needs of human beings, it is the bottom of Maslow's pyramid, and spiritual pleasure belongs to the high-level pursuit, Mom, you are also a new woman who has been in a high-level women's middle school, how can you be assimilated by my father's old man with peace of mind?" ā
"Yo, the big truth is a set, you don't want to eat tonight, I see how you can carry out the advanced pursuit of the spirit when you are hungry!" Before the old lady could say anything, a loud voice sounded behind the woman.
The woman was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw that her father, who was arranging, was looking at her with a tiger face, and her heart was quite empty, and she smiled at the old man: "Dad, you're back!" Why is it so early today? ā
"Didn't I hear my daughter say that I was an old farmer and stirred up the relationship between my parents?" The old man looked at his daughter angrily, turned around, and said to the two soldiers behind him, "Get the things in and help the handlers put up the big shed!" ā
The woman was blocked by her father, and she didn't know what to say, so she smiled, retreated to the door, and saw her father with two soldiers, working in full swing, knowing that there was nothing to do with herself, so she carried her bag and followed her mother into the house.
The ground is very small, so the time to build the shelf is not much, half an hour, the skeleton of the greenhouse has been built, as long as the plastic film is laid on the line, the old man patted the ash on his hands, nodded with satisfaction, at this time the old lady took the little aunt out with a basin of water, washed the hands of the two soldiers, and enthusiastically asked them to stay for dinner, which was politely declined.
After cleaning up the dirt on his body, the old man walked to the living room, ready to rest for a while, he was old, he couldn't help but be tired, he was only busy for half an hour, and his legs and feet were weak. At this time, the phone in the living room rang, the old lady picked up the phone, and the old man looked dry and sulked, and the calls at this time were basically from the little grandson.
"Hey, I haven't eaten yet!" The old lady talked on the phone with a smile, and glanced at her wife defiantly and enviously, "Your grandfather put up the shelves of the greenhouse today." ā
"Well, I know, I'll tell your grandfather to wait until you come back to lay seeds!" The old lady was in a very happy mood, and she babbled to her grandson about what had happened at home in the past few days.
"What?" When the old lady heard her grandson mention an unexpected name, her heart ached, and her voice couldn't help but be a little louder, "Your mother? She found it? ā
The old man took two steps in a row, walked to the phone, put his ear to the phone, the old lady's face was pale at this time, and her breathing became short, the old man quickly poured her a mouthful of water, pressed the speakerphone button of the phone, and Feng Qiang's clear voice rang in the living room along the telephone line.
"Today, my grandfather said that my mother was in the United States and had found them, and he sent a letter to ask them to send me over, saying that they missed me! But I don't think it's good, if she misses me, can she just come back and see me? And grandpa must also miss her, as long as she comes back, kill two birds with one stone, why should I go over? So far! I'm still in school! Do you say, grandma? Feng Qiang was talking to his grandmother on the phone, and he might be holding back a lot, so he couldn't tell his grandfather, so he had to talk to his grandmother about the questions in his heart.
"Yes, Dong Dong thinks it makes sense," the old lady took a deep breath, trying not to make her voice unusual, "If your grandfather makes such a request again, you will say what you think, you are a big child, you should express your opinions!" ā
"Well, okay, grandma!" Feng Qiang's voice was much lighter, "Anyway, I won't go now, I still have to take the college entrance examination!" Hey, by the way, it's cold, you and grandpa should pay attention to adding or subtracting clothes, don't catch a cold! I'll be home on Sunday! ā
"Hey, grandma knows, I'll tell your grandfather when I turn around, you also have to pay attention to your body!" The old lady instructed her grandson. Feng Qiang hung up the phone, and the old lady put the phone away and burst into tears. The old man, Feng Qiang's grandfather, Feng Guanshan, also moistened the corners of his eyes, his son's death is the most scarring scar in this family, even if it will fade with the passage of time, but it will never disappear, because the scar is deeply engraved on the hearts of the old couple.
Feng Guanshan has a son and a daughter in his life, his son Feng Jianxin has always been the pride of his parents, he writes a good hand, draws a good hand, and pulls a good erhu, he entered the barracks at the age of eighteen, and was promoted to the position of company commander in a few years, which was originally a good future, but when the turmoil came, his family was knocked down, and his son was also implicated and suspended from his job.
I still remember that when he was sent to Hui Province for labor reform, he came to see himself off, and said to himself with a smile, let yourself be strong, take care of your body, and soon hold your grandson! But I didn't expect this farewell to become a permanent secret, and I sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person!
Stretched out his hand to pat the crying trembling wife, and persuaded softly: "Okay, it's all over!" We've got knock knock! ā
"But she's going to rob me of Knock Knock!" The wife took Feng Guanshan's hand and grasped it tightly, as if grasping the last saving driftwood.
"Mom, don't cry, knock knock makes the children of our old Feng family, no one can snatch them, no one can come to snatch them!" Feng Liran walked down quickly from upstairs and hugged her mother.
"Mom, in fact, I often think that if I don't let my brother take me to the show that day, my brother won't meet Xu Xinyi, and maybe there won't be anything behind." Feng Liran said guiltily.
"Fate, it's all fate!" The old lady Qin Mingyue said weakly, "Who would have thought that everyone who is so knowledgeable and reasonable, and their hearts will be so cold!" ā
"Mom. Dad, I will never give Dongdong to her, Dongdong is what I have raised after a lot of hard work, why give it to her, if I really love the child, I shouldn't have left the child in the first place! If she hadn't wanted to be in the limelight and get into trouble, my brother wouldn't have been kicked through her internal organs in order to protect her, and she would have been hurt to death, and my brother's bones were not cold, she couldn't bear the poverty, threw Dong Dong to me, cheated me out of all the money and food stamps, and left, it wasn't that the neighbor's aunt happened to have a ewe who gave birth to a lamb, I secretly taught his children to read in exchange, so thin that he couldn't survive like a kitten, and now he said that he wanted to Dong Dong, and he wanted to go to see her, don't even think about it! The more Feng Liran spoke, the more angry she became, and finally she was about to grit her teeth.
"Erya, don't say it again!" Feng Guanshan stopped his daughter from recalling the past, and patted his wife's body trembling like leaves in the wind.
"My Jianxin, my poor Jianxin!" Qin Mingyue couldn't stop crying anymore.
Feng Liran hugged her mother tightly, tears poured down, Feng Guanshan also raised his head, and tried to swallow the tears back into his stomach, and for a while only sobbing was heard in the living room.
"Mom, Dad, I want to say something," Feng Liran wiped her tears and said to her parents seriously, "No matter what the Xu family says, you are not allowed to be soft-hearted, you must resolutely not agree to let Dongdong go to the United States before she grows up, Xu Xinyi I understand that person very well, what I am best at is to get an inch!" ā
"Got it! My old Feng is not a soft persimmon! Feng Guanshan nodded.
"Let's hold on to the soldiers first, and see when they come to talk to us, anyway, Dongdong's hukou is in our house, see if his family has that face to mention!" The old lady said fiercely in a hoarse voice.
The dinner was sumptuous, but all three of them were full of hearts, and the delicious food was also the same as chewing wax!
