Chapter 7: Heading South
Time passed quietly in Yang Dongsheng's thoughts.
"Dongsheng, it's time to eat, hurry up, Dongsheng." Yang Dongsheng's mother shouted into Yang Dongsheng's room.
Yang Dongsheng slept in his bed, he didn't fall asleep at all, he was thinking about how he could tell his parents what he thought. Just as he was in a trance, his musings were interrupted by the sound of his mother calling him to eat.
"Dongsheng, hurry up, if you don't eat again, the rice will be cold." At this time, my father's old voice came from outside.
Yang Dongsheng got up from the bed under the urging of the two old men, and the things that should be faced always have to be faced, Yang Dongsheng felt that he had to find a suitable time to confess everything to his parents, and ask for his parents' forgiveness and support.
Yang Dongsheng came out of his room and saw his old father squatting in the shade of the courtyard.
"Dad, when will you come back, how is the wheat in the field, can you harvest it?" Yang Dongsheng asked his father.
"Come on, Dongsheng, you don't have to worry about this, you just take care of your own affairs, the things in the field are with me and your mother, the two of us are not old enough to do it, you don't have to worry about the things in the field." The old father said to Yang Dongsheng affectionately.
"I know Dad, you don't have to worry about my affairs, I'm such a big person, I know how to do things." Yang Dongsheng said to his father.
"You two don't talk in the yard, hurry back to eat, talk while eating." Yang Dongsheng's mother shouted at Yang Dongsheng's father and Yang Dongsheng.
"Dongsheng, let's go, let's go back to dinner, your mother made you something delicious today."
"Okay, Dad, let's go."
Yang Dongsheng returned to the kitchen with his father and saw that a table full of dishes was his favorite food.
Yang Dongsheng saw this table of dishes, his heart was really not a taste, he knew that his parents expected too much from him, he had already done something sorry for his parents today, he wanted to know that in this way, he would take the exam for recruiting teachers to the end. Being a teacher has also fulfilled a dream of my parents, and I can repay my parents a little bit for their nurturing grace, but now it's too late, it's too late.
"Dad, you sit inside, I'll serve you food."
"You haven't told me how you did on the exam."
Yang Dongsheng saw his father's love for him, he knew that he could no longer deceive his father, even if his father knew the result and killed him, he could no longer deceive the old man, that would be too cruel to the old man.
Dad, I don't want to be a teacher, I didn't finish today's exam, I want to go to the south to work hard, so as to change the poor and backward appearance of our family. ”
Yang Dongsheng found that his father was stunned, his father slowly stood up, pointed at Yang Dongsheng with trembling hands and asked, "What you said is true, you say it again, you tell me again, it's not true?" Yang Dongsheng's father shouted hoarsely at Yang Dongsheng.
"Yes Dad, what I said is true, I don't want to live like this, I want to create a world for myself, a world that belongs to me." Yang Dongsheng continued to explain to his father.
"You tell me what you just said, tell me again, you tell me again! How did I raise such a brute as you, and your mother and I were frugal, do you know why, you know? If I knew you were such an indisputable thing, what did I want you to do in the first place? I'm tired of what I'm doing for you. Yang Dongsheng's father said, old tears.
Yang Dongsheng's mother was also shocked by the sudden lightning strike in front of her, and she didn't know the southeast and northwest, this poor old man learned that the seedlings he had worked so hard to cultivate, and saw that he had been hit by hail without a harvest, she was also in pain and despair, she hated the two poles she gave birth to, why did he hurt the hearts of his parents so much.
Yang Dongsheng didn't say anything, quietly waiting for his parents' criticism, what could he say, his parents wouldn't understand his grand blueprint, but his parents' grand blueprint let him destroy it.
"Dad, mom I'm sorry, I'll work hard when I go to the south, and I will repay you when I earn money in the future." Yang Dongsheng said to his parents.
"Don't lose your ancestors, we don't have a son like you, you go quickly, you leave this house quickly, I don't have a son like you." The old father shouted to Yang Dongsheng again angrily.
Yang Dongsheng turned his head in pain and walked out of the room. He walked along the country road alone, thinking, his heart was so troubled, he didn't know how it could be, all this development was not what he could have predicted. He didn't want to do this, but what to do, no matter how he thought about it, he broke his parents' hearts. Yang Dongsheng walked like this, thinking.
Summer is beautiful, summer is the most lush time for all things to grow, the air in the countryside is much fresher than the air in the city, there is no impurity, put it as if washed with water, unconsciously it has reached dusk, Yang Dongsheng has been standing on the ridge for several hours. The sky was full of colorful clouds, and Yang Dongsheng saw an orange-red sun jumping into the mountains, and only at this time could he clearly see the beautiful outline of the distant mountains.
When the night gets dark, people go home. At this time, the vast field has already entered the dream fragrance, the yellow wheat field, the rugged ridge, the small flowers that exude a pleasant fragrance, in this warm summer night also closed the hazy sleepy eyes, under the gentle blowing of the wind, in the happy accompaniment of frogs to make sweet dreams. But what happened today made Yang Dongsheng no longer in the mood to appreciate these beautiful scenery, he felt inexplicably lonely at this time, he didn't know what happened to his parents, he didn't know how to explain to his parents next, what he had to do to make his parents not sad and painful, he didn't ask for his parents' forgiveness, but he was also for this family, for his parents to no longer suffer and suffer. It's hard! It's hard! Why is it so difficult for people to live in this world?
I want to go back, I want to explain to my parents that this matter has been like this, and now there is no way to undo it, I can only go on strongly, appease my parents' feelings, and I can rest assured that I can go to the south to start a career that I don't know how to win or lose. When Yang Dongsheng thought of this, his mood was basically calm, and he walked quickly towards home.
Yang Dongsheng walked to the door of the house and saw the light in his parents' room on, he walked over gently, pushed open the door, and saw his father lying on the bed, his mother sitting at his father's feet with his back against the wall, his father's face was dark gray, lying motionless, and the corners of his mother's eyes were red, as if he had just cried.
Yang Dongsheng stood on the ground like this, his parents saw him come back, and the old couple didn't speak, Yang Dongsheng knew that he had hurt the hearts of the old couple, and a temporary cold war was inevitable, as long as the parents could feel better, they would just get up and beat themselves, but the parents didn't say a word.
"Dad, Mom, I was wrong, you forgive me, you know what kind of person your son has been since he was a child. Your own son, you should know, I know, you are very sad that I gave up the profession of teacher, but, do you know why I gave up this profession, is it just that I don't like to teach, no, the main reason is that our family is too poor, I know that I am admitted to the teacher, how much salary I have every month, we have spent these salaries, how much is left, and then there is, I am admitted to the teacher, and I will face marriage immediately, if we get married, we will build a new house, Which girl in our house is willing to come, and the bride price, you know that the bride price in our place is frighteningly high. Yang Dongsheng cried hoarsely and said to his parents, his father's face was still so dark, and his mother's face slowly softened. But the old couple still didn't say a word.
Yang Dongsheng continued to say to his parents: "Dad, Mom, you should be able to calculate an account, what a lot of money is the bride price for marrying a daughter-in-law, the money for marrying a daughter-in-law to build a house, relying on my meager teacher's salary, when can I live a good life, when will I be able to honor you, not to mention, the girls on our side don't like to teach at all, they all like to marry rich businessmen and powerful civil servants." Dad, Mom, I thought about everything, that's why I made this decision. I'm sorry, I know this decision has hurt you too much, but I can't help it, I have to go out and get our family out of the current poverty. Dad, Mom, now the south is very good, many people have made a fortune everywhere, the government calls for some people to get rich first, and then drive the latter, I will be the first batch of people in China to get rich first, so that you can live a happy old age from now on. Dad and Mom, this is what I thought about not taking the teacher exam this time, and the life path I planned for myself in the future. ”
Yang Dongsheng cried, his tears flowed to his chin, he was so wronged, the poor family made him have to choose this way, but the parents' incomprehension made Yang Dongsheng even more aggrieved.
At this time, Yang Dongsheng could only secretly swear that I must succeed and be a person. He muttered silently in his heart. Yang Dongsheng's tears and cries resolved the resentment in the hearts of his parents, the child is the heart of the parents, the pearl of the parents, not bad, in front of the parents, the child will always be the child, they will always be the object of protection, no matter how big the mistake they make, the parents will forgive, this is the great father's love, mother's love.
The father sat up slowly, his face was still so gloomy: "When to go, if you want to go, hurry up, don't let the people in the village know, save me from being embarrassed." "My father is an old stubborn, and the most important thing is face.
"I'll prepare tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow." Yang Dongsheng said to his father.
"You're going alone, or?" Father asked
"I'm going alone." Yang Dongsheng replied to his father.
Yang Dongsheng's father was stunned for a moment.
"kid, go back and warm up his meal." After the father finished speaking, he lay down again.
"Hmm," replied the mother, tearfully believing that her dear son would never leave them again when he returned from college this time. However, she was about to go to a farther place, and she didn't know when she would be able to meet when she went out this time, and Yang Dongsheng's mother was very sad.
