Son
When I passed by the street in my spare time, I saw a middle-aged man living in the utility room on the side of the street that was ready to be demolished, and that man seemed to have lived in the utility room for many years, and it seemed that he had lived in the utility room for many years since I moved here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe utility room where the man lives is the same as the utility room where everyone parks bicycles and electric vehicles, it is very small, not ventilated and not transparent, and the door cannot be closed when sleeping at night, otherwise it will be stuffy. But they all live in the utility room, and they are not afraid of thieves taking care of it, and it is nothing important, but the man does not think so, he installed a chain on the utility room door, and after the chain is hung, the door leaves a small opening for ventilation, and outsiders can't enter. On the innermost shelf in the utility room, there are all his belongings, a set of imported tools. It's the kind of power tool imported from abroad, or charging, what hand grinding wheel, every time I take it out and read it, the man will wipe it with a clean cloth, wrap it in a plastic bag, and put it back in the box, the utility room is full of ash, but there is no ash on the tool. Men live alone in the utility room, without family or friends, watching a small black and white TV the size of a palm, and sometimes they can find some wooden squares or glass, and make some gadgets, such as tool shelves, small stools, small tables, etc.
Later, when I was eating at a small restaurant, I heard someone talking about a man, and everyone laughed and called him a filial son.
Yes, this man is an out-and-out filial son. When the man was young, he originally lived in Shanghai, and his father was a native of Shanghai, because he was addicted to gambling, so he was pressed on the gambling table in a gambling game. His mother, who was a native of the Northeast, heard that the man was taken to the casino by his father, so she hurried to find that her child was pressed on the gambling table by her husband as a gambling book, and in a fit of anger, she divorced her husband with her child and returned to her parents' home.
After returning to his parents' home, the man's mother sold milk, sold clothes, and opened a snack bar in order to raise her children, and finally relied on her father, who was the chief engineer, to find a job and enter a public institution. The man's mother lost her husband and her youth, found a one-eyed dragon and got married, and since then the focus has been on the man, guarding the only son every step of the way. Every time a man goes out, his mother will always find a way to call him back, the excuse is probably that his heart is uncomfortable, blood pressure rises, etc., and he has made trouble many times, and the man knows that although his mother is indeed congenital heart disease, but every time he lies that he is uncomfortable and wants to tie him up, so the man does not take care of it, and still plays by himself and goes home on time. But the man's mother was not reconciled, she was unwilling to let her son be snatched away by others, so she began to intentionally remember the phone number of the man's friend. Every time a man goes out, his mother calls his friends one by one, gently warning him that he is not in good health and that he should not always ask her son to go out to play. Once or twice, three or four times, where would anyone want to find a man to go out? Several times of love, but also in this phone call, it collapsed.
It wasn't until the man was twenty-seven or eighteen years old that the man's mother realized that the man was old enough to get married, so she asked someone to introduce a woman from Hebei. This woman is twenty-four or five years old, has a good family background, is unmarried, looks at the man who is down-to-earth and hardworking, usually repairs household appliances or something, and doesn't care whether the man has money or not, and she gets married.
On the day of the wedding, the atmosphere was still very good, the man was very handsome when he was young, the bridge of his nose was high, his skin was very white, he was tall and thin, and there was a clear contrast between him wearing a suit and usually wearing engine oil and mud, and all his colleagues and relatives were dazzled. The wedding went smoothly, and on the wedding night, his mother, who had been living in another house, suddenly visited, and without saying a word, he slept on the sofa in the man's wedding room. Normal people would not have thought that their wedding night would become like this, sure enough, the next morning, as soon as the mother left, the newlywed woman quarreled with the man, and the man knew that he was to blame, and what his mother did was really inappropriate, so he apologized repeatedly, and the woman finally forgave him.
Men's work is earlier than women's, every time they go out early, women get up in the morning only they don't want to cook, so they often go downstairs to buy breakfast, but after a month of marriage, the man's mother will take advantage of the man's time to go to work every day, blatantly open the door and come in, if you see the man resting at home, she pretends to care about her son and says that she comes to deliver buns; Most of the time, the man is naturally absent, and when the mother comes to the door and sees the woman going downstairs to buy breakfast, she will say in a weird way, why are you so greedy, eat steamed buns every day, and you are poor. The woman was stunned for a moment and said, I bought it with my own salary, and I am happy. Then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled in the stairwell, and then the woman went to work angrily, and when she saw the woman walking away, the man's mother would pick up her phone, dial the man, and complain with a handful of snot and tears, saying how her new daughter-in-law scolded her.
The man's first marriage lasted for less than a year in this provocation and quarrel after quarrel. The man's mother seems to think that she is a victorious general, and while comforting her son and scolding the woman and the woman's family that they are not things, she pretends to be very enthusiastic about finding a new partner for the man. How could a man not know that? refused, although his mother did not do it right, but at least his mother gave birth to him and raised him very hard, and he couldn't do this, so he didn't say anything.
Until the man was thirty-one years old, the Internet was developed, and the man met her in the game, that she was young and beautiful, gentle and lovely, and the man felt that love really favored him for the first time, but the failure of the first marriage made him more careful, and he took a preventive shot with her in advance, and lived directly in her home after marriage. The woman's parents originally disliked this man's second marriage and no money, but their own girl likes it, so what can be done? The two got married.
Because they usually live in the woman's home, and the woman's home is in the provincial capital, and the man's home is in another city, although the transportation is convenient at that time, but because of the distance, the man's mother did not come to the door, probably because he felt that he was away from home, and the chance of winning was not big. It wasn't until later that the man's mother lied about a heart attack and asked the man to go home, which successfully tied the man to her side, and this time the man's mother knew that her child would not give up on this woman so easily. But things are not always as expected, and the man's mother feels that she can no longer control her son, so she tries to lock the man and her in the house. So the man's mother worked hard and hard, knocking on the side, and all kinds of activities similar to spies, and finally lived up to expectations and got all the contact information of her friends. History is always strikingly similar, every time they go out, before they get to the agreed place, they will receive a call from a friend, saying that the man's mother has a heart attack and wants to go home, the man naturally knows the situation, but her friend does not know, just when this is a man who has a daughter-in-law and forgets his mother, he will have less contact with them, and no longer ask them to go out. And those who knew the truth of the matter were not willing to take this risk, so they were not told to go out.
The man's mother's trick made this originally active couple stay at home obediently except for work, and couldn't go anywhere. And the man's mother felt that this was not enough, her own excellent child was fascinated by this prodigal woman, this kind of woman, she must be far away, not close to her precious son. So the man's mother felt that it was time for the ultimate killing.
Her work is very easy, because it is also a public institution, with generous benefits, short and idle working hours, so she has a lot of time at home, and she can't go out, so she can only play games and watch movies at home. At the beginning, life was still very easy, the man loved her, and he was reluctant to let her do the housework, and her meal at home, the man would make it before going to work, and put it in the pot and eat it as soon as it was hot. And this kind of intimate behavior, in the eyes of the man's mother, is that this prodigal woman is so confused that her son can't do it, otherwise how can she do what this kind of woman should do, her son should work hard and make money to honor himself, how can he honor other women? So every time she is at home, the man's mother will always come to the door, all kinds of faults, all kinds of quarrels, and then she has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, how can she suffer this kind of grievance, after crying, the man will go home, he will see his daughter-in-law sitting in front of the computer coldly, looking at him without saying a word. The man who was already very impatient to be sued by his mother, saw this, and the fire came up, and then it was another big quarrel, noisy and noisy, all the things that happened The man understood, began to apologize, and began to coax, but he had no other way, who called it his mother? It's not easy to work hard to give birth to yourself and raise yourself.
Later, she changed the door lock and did not let the man's mother enter the door, until she came back to live for almost a year, one day she was sleeping in bed, and she heard her door being pried into by someone, and she was just about to get up, and she saw the man's mother rushing in angrily, pulling her up who was lying on the bed and preparing to get up, and dragged her to the floor, which was a pinch, and after even pinching and kicking, she rushed to her body to warm up, and a stream of blood came out from under her, her face was white, and the man's mother saw this, and ran downstairs in fright. She endured the severe pain, crawled to the side of the bed, and got through 120. Sure enough, she miscarried.
When she came out after all the surgeries, she woke up and saw the man, tears came down after a brush, her whole body injuries, her own children, and her lifelong infertility, all the grievances gathered, crying darkly. The man felt that he was really sorry for her, and while comforting, he thought of a way. But what can be done? That's my mother, it's not easy to give birth to myself and raise myself.
She seemed to understand something, and resolutely asked for a divorce, maybe she knew that no matter what she did, she could not surpass his mother's status, although she could accompany him for a lifetime, but she could only compromise, never have friends, and never have children, guarding a husband, playing games at home for a lifetime.
After the divorce, the man lived alone in the house where he got married, the original marriage room was rented to someone else, he moved to the original study, built a bed with two or three bed boards, there was nothing in the house except a palm-sized TV, and he didn't go out to work, he sat in the room every day and drank, and watched the black-and-white TV the size of two palms for a whole year. Looking at the man's state, the man's stepfather couldn't bear it and talked to the man's mother. The man's mother felt that she was doing the right thing, and it was all the fault of the prodigal woman that the man would become like this, it was all her, who charmed her son, and she just did what her mother should do, but the man she looked down on said this about herself. The two had a big fight, and the man's mother had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital.
In order to save his mother, the man sold the house where his mother and stepfather lived, operated on his mother, and then took his mother and stepfather to live in his marital house. When a man's mother sees what her child has done, she is like a rooster who has won a fight, and feels that her years of hard work have not been in vain, and her child finally knows his good intentions and is willing to take care of himself.
How did the man know that his mother thought so, just silently took care of the second elder, and then in his spare time, in his room, watching a small black and white TV, drinking wine, 24 bottles of beer in glass bottles a day, and then drinking liquor, drinking until he fell asleep in a daze, then stopped, and got up the next day to continue drinking. The man's mother thinks that there is nothing wrong with having a little hobby, just drink it, and don't care, as long as he can be good to himself, isn't it enough?
The man watched black-and-white TV and news broadcasts all year round, and gradually became obsessed with broadcasting, bought a computer, and began to learn from the computer. The man's mother felt that something had entangled her precious son, and her son had ignored her because of this thing. Therefore, every time a man is reading a manuscript, the man's mother always finds various reasons to interrupt. Because after the last illness, the man's mother was a little semi-paralyzed, her legs and feet were weak, and she had no strength in one hand. For his mother's interruption, although the man feels annoyed, he will still go over to take care of him immediately, and he will come and go, although the man has talent in broadcasting, he has always been in a state of imitation without a breakthrough. But men are already content, at least they have other things to do, so that they don't stay idle every day.
All the relatives only regarded the man as a dutiful son, the mother was paralyzed in bed, and she quit her job to take care of her mother at home. And what about the men themselves? He once said to a friend of his own, I don't think about work, I don't think about the future, I don't want to get married, even if they are a hundred years later, I am living on the street begging, I am willing. His friend hesitated and asked him, what do you think, what about your two wives? They all paid for your youth, and even one of them paid a huge price, don't you have any reaction to this? The man was silent.
Although the man's mother was not in worse health under the man's care, she did not get better, and finally passed away after five years of struggle. The man began to take care of the cyclops stepfather again. He knows that although his stepfather has no ability, he is really good to himself, his stepfather has a son, and he has never been as good as his brother, and many of them even surpass his brother, maybe this is because his stepfather likes his mother, but the grace of parenting cannot be forgotten, so he also tried his best to help his stepfather to retire and die.
The stepfather was more than ten years older than the man's mother, in the original era, the second marriage was a shameful thing, and it was not easy to find a second marriage who was willing to take the child by himself, the man's mother only felt that she was losing money, and found such a one-eyed dragon who was more than a decade older than herself, and tried all kinds of ways to treat him harshly, all kinds of faults, but this man has not left her for so many years, and he is very good to his children. But the man's mother is still not satisfied, all kinds of faults in life, all kinds of tosses, and later, when he is old and semi-paralyzed, he can't sleep, and he doesn't let his wife sleep, he gets up to go to the toilet for a while, he wants to eat snacks and drink water, and he tosses more than a dozen times a night, and his stepfather is miserable but he doesn't say anything, and he is not impatient at all. Every time someone comes to the house, the man's mother seems to have found a tree hole to talk to, snorting at the people and tearing up, saying how much she suffered a loss to find this useless man, how much trouble she had to help his son find a job, and how hard she had lived for so many years. How could the relatives and friends of the man's mother not know this, they didn't want to come in the first place, they were harassed by the man's mother one by one phone call, and when they heard this, they were full of embarrassment, and they made an excuse and left. Later, fewer and fewer people came to see the old lady. Who wants to see an old lady who is in the midst of happiness and does not know the blessings, disturbs the marriage of her children, ties her children and her wife, and does not contact the outside world? The man's mother still feels that she is right, but she never thinks that she has not helped others, nor has she had a good relationship with others, and the once weak colleague relationship has slowly faded away after so many years of stalking and letting others see her, and the rest is only impatience. If these former colleagues felt that this old lady was of any use, it was to remind themselves to be content.
The man's stepfather quickly collapsed in the year after the death of the man's mother, perhaps after so many years of tossing by the man's mother, and his heart was hollowed out. In the Spring Festival of the second year, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I was finally liberated. When the man was about to turn fifty, he finally unloaded the two burdens on his body and was ready to live his own small life. But he never thought that for so many years, he didn't take care of his stepfather's brother, and in the name of his stepfather's legal heir, he transferred the only house to his name and sold it, and then forced the man to relocate. The man who had nothing did not argue anything, and his four uncles, who had never shown up, did not stand up, and the man was finally kicked out of his former home at the age of fifty, penniless.
Later, the man lived in this utility room, and the man still didn't understand what he did wrong, did his filial piety also become wrong? For the sake of his mother, he lost his job, lost his friends, lost his marriage, lost his children, and now, lost the only home that could shelter him from the wind and rain. The man has never resented anything, but when everyone asks, the man will say, that's my mother, it's not easy to work hard to give birth to yourself and support yourself. Sometimes I say that I never resent or regret it, but the most sorry thing in this life is my two wives. What's more, he doesn't understand, the unfilial brother in the eyes of outsiders, in the end, he has both children and daughters, a happy husband and wife, a car, a house and a deposit, he, a filial son in the eyes of outsiders, has nothing, and now he is over half a hundred, and he can only live in this dim utility room, uncirculated air, inconvenient water sources, always prompting himself, telling himself that he has nothing left, only himself.
I don't know, in the middle of the night, when I dreamed back, whether the man regretted his decision, whether he regretted that he took his life to be a filial son in the eyes of outsiders. Perhaps, the man himself is not wrong, the fault is that he has a mother, but isn't this the fault of the man? Maybe the old lady was an only daughter when she was young, and she was deeply pampered and willful, but if it weren't for the connivance and forbearance of the man and her stepfather for so many years, how could the old lady become even worse? The grace of nurturing is unforgettable, should a man's two wives marry alone into this strange family, and they should be hurt by this? I think that what the two wives hate is not the man's mother, but the man, the man's attitude, the man's connivance, and the man's compromise, which makes the two women who are uprooted and alone feel that their future is hopeless, and they are willing to fight for their own happiness and future to end this relationship. I don't know what a man's biological father would think if he was alive and saw his child so depressed now, would he regret what he had done, or would he think that a man deserved it? If history repeats itself, will the man's biological father still put his children on the table because of gambling? I don't know, I just know that history can't repeat itself, there are so many filial sons in the world, who can guarantee that they won't lose anything while being filial?
Since ancient times, everyone will only say that loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve. So if on the opposite side of filial piety, add your own love, your own friendship, your own future, and your own life, how will you choose? The man once said that if there was an eighth pawnshop in the world, he would be willing to pawn his life for the rest of his life to ensure his mother's health. I think that if there is really No. 8 pawnshop, and the man really pawns it, it will really be a relief for him. It should be said that it is a relief for all. A person's life is always constantly losing and constantly gaining and losing, fluttering and drifting away, without taking away a piece of dust. Perhaps you just want to say one thing about Shakespeare: I can read between the lines, but I don't understand what you're saying. Well, who cares?
