NO.26: Memories buried by time
Shanghai South Railway Station, Shen Yang saw off here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After eating, Shen Yang called a few cars, and a group of more than ten people rushed to the nearest Shanghai South Railway Station. The ordinary express train from Shanghai south to Xi'an departs from 2 o'clock in the afternoon and arrives at 11 o'clock the next day, and it takes 20 hours in between.
Twenty hours is nothing, the sleeper sleeps a little bit, they bought a hard seat, and they don't know if they don't have tickets or want to save money. Shen Yang wanted to change all to sleepers, but not only did they not allow it, but there were no tickets at the station, so they had to give up.
When the station bell sounds, the time has come for everyone to know that they are separated.
Shen Yang bought a platform ticket and kept sending them on the train, standing on the platform outside the train, watching them get on the train with big bags and small bags.
Shen Yang had regained his composure now, and he didn't have a very strong feeling of reluctance.
"You must come every day."
In the end, the eldest aunt held Shen Yang's hand and held it tightly, as if she had grabbed her second sister.
The eldest aunt is the eldest of the siblings, she is already in her fifties at this time, her head is green and white hair mixed with white hair, and her face is full of wrinkles, it seems that in the past few days, her gray hair and wrinkles have increased.
As soon as she came to the old house, when she saw the body of Shen Yang's mother, she had already collapsed, crying and fainting. For a few days, my eyes were red and swollen, I didn't eat much, and I cried so much that my voice was hoarse and crying, only silent sobbing.
Men are a little better, basically calm and emotionally stable, but women are different.
In those seven days, Shen Yang watched and looked at the sincere feelings of his mother's family, compared to the thin affection of his husband's family, it was really a world of difference, which made people feel chilling.
"Auntie, I will definitely come." Shen Yang nodded solemnly, he saw that when he was leaving, the eldest aunt's eyes were red again.
"My poor boy." The train attendant was already urging, and the eldest aunt touched Shen Yang's head affectionately, and then she left.
"When you have time, come and have a look at the house." Uncle's words are much simpler, men can't say sensational words, and the way they can express their feelings is to slap their shoulders.
"Hmm!" Shen Yang nodded.
Seeing that everyone regretted parting, even those little girls were a little reluctant.
"My cousin must come."
Shen Yang's eldest cousin's child, the most lively and cheerful one, she spoke straightforwardly, without the twist of adults at all. Looking at the expectant expression on her face, Shen Yang smiled, and the atmosphere of parting seemed to be dispelled.
"Okay, I'll definitely come, how about you take me to the mountains to play then?"
"Yes, yes." Hearing Shen Yang's promise, her small eyes turned into crescent moons.
"Goodbye!"
The little girls were all waving at Shen Yang, and their little hands were shaking like glow sticks.
Shen Yang watched them get on the train, and finally before the train could move, he was driven away by the railway police, without seeing many scenes in film and television dramas, without seeing the train drifting away, and without running and shouting on the platform, he left like this.
Shen Yang walked aimlessly, in the past few days, he had heard many stories, all of which were about Shen Yang's mother's past, so he had a certain understanding of Shen Yang's mother's character and image.
She is a person who is not satisfied with the status quo, so after graduating from junior high school, she did not stay at home to farm, but came to Shenzhen alone.
Shenzhen is known as the Special Economic Zone, is China's window to the world, at that time the reform and opening up has just begun, the people who went to the sea did not come back like the tide, Shen Yang's mother is one of the pioneers.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl came to Shenzhen alone, worked as a waitress and a sewing worker, and if it weren't for the fact that she didn't want women on the construction site, she would even do construction work.
Brave, stubborn, strong, smart, flexible, bold, she has many shining points, of course, her friends' shortcomings, such as pungent and hot-tempered.
A few years have passed, with a small amount of savings, she made bold plans, and finally opened a small restaurant in Shenzhen, focusing on northern noodles and southern rice food, and then because of a small restaurant, she met Shen Yang's father unexpectedly.
Shen Yang's father was a construction engineer, a rare college student in that era, who worked at the Railway Construction Engineering Bureau, and the project was in Shenzhen. As for Shen Yang's mother, her small restaurant is near the construction site, and Shen Yang's father often comes over.
At that time, Shen Yang's father was much younger, like a shy little boy, and Shen Yang's mother had been in the society for a few years, and she had become an old fritter vegetarian.
Shen Yang's father often comes to eat, he went to college in Beijing, he likes northern noodles, Shen Yang's mother makes noodles well, he often comes over, and he gets acquainted with each other.
In fact, when it comes to age, Shen Yang's mother is one year older than Shen Yang's father, but at this age, Shen Yang's mother seems more mature.
The proprietress of a small restaurant, one is a construction engineer, one has a junior high school education, and the other has a university degree, and it is impossible for the two to intersect.
However, in the end, the two fell in love.
At the beginning, Shen Yang's father didn't have the idea of finding a partner, but Shen Yang's mother did, she liked college students too much, because she didn't go to college, she was very longing, she always admired college students, he was the first college student in her life.
Shen Yang's father is an emotionally passive person, he has a good heart, and he can't bear to refuse. But a good man is afraid of entanglement with women, no matter how strong he is, under her invincible entanglement, he is not afraid not to become a finger wrapper.
The final result was naturally that Shen Yang's father gradually fell, and on a dark and windy night in the first month, both of them got drunk, and then achieved something good.
Shen Yang's father didn't have the idea of eating and wiping, as a man with a strong sense of responsibility, he took Shen Yang's mother home during the Spring Festival that year, and then as you can imagine, it was a world upside down.
Grandma Shen Yang, not only Grandma Shen Yang, none of Shen Yang's father's brothers and sisters like Shen Yang's mother. In their imagination, Shen Yang's father should have a wife with the same education, even if it is not good, he must be a salaryman.
However, Shen Yang's mother is not, whether it is personality or image, age, education, work, none of them are eligible. But not long after, Shen Yang's mother became pregnant, and under all kinds of persecution, in the end, others agreed, but Shen Yang's grandmother did not agree.
Even if the two received a marriage certificate, even if they lived together, even if they gave birth to Shen Yang, Shen Yang's grandmother never recognized Shen Yang's mother as a daughter-in-law.
Until she died, Shen Yang's grandmother didn't like Shen Yang's mother. It is said that Shen Yang's grandmother was angry with Shen Yang's mother, so you can count on how much those brothers and sisters like this brother and sister-in-law.
It wasn't until after getting married that Shen Yang's mother told the news to the family, and then the family was shaken. She is this kind of character, she was able to boldly go to Shenzhen alone, and now she can get married in a flash and get pregnant before marriage.
She has always been at the forefront of the times and has always been an independent woman in the new era.
She likes children, whether they are boys or girls, just like those little nieces said, aunts are the best for them, buy them toys and snacks, and their favorite is aunts.
Back then, a few years after giving birth to Shen Yang, she was pregnant with another child, this time she wanted to give birth to a girl, but because of Shen Yang's grandmother's carelessness, she had a miscarriage.
Because of this, the contradiction between the two people broke out completely, and it didn't take long for Shen Yang's grandmother to die of depression, and as for Shen Yang's mother, it was like a different person.
Shen Yang's mother has always been loyal to her marriage, and during the more than ten years after Shen Yang's father left, many people persuaded her to remarry, but she never agreed, and she has been pulling Shen Yang to grow up alone, and Shen Yang is all her hope.
She wanted Shen Yang to go to college, to go to college like Shen Yang's father, to complete her unfulfilled dream, and to study abroad to complete Shen Yang's unfulfilled dream, but she couldn't see that day.
This is where the story ends.
