15. Parents

In this way, a woman who knows is not only not afraid of her father, but also admires such a man!

Pomegranate thought about it and had another question, "Why does everyone say that my father is very fierce, and many people are afraid of him, what did he do to make people so afraid of him?" ”

"Your father is also a hard life, only twelve years old became an orphan, that year of the plague, your grandparents have died of illness, at that time your grandparents in the county has a real estate, left a big house and some shops, those surnamed Shi of the family bullied your father a child, want to occupy those property, but although your father is only a twelve-year-old child, but a little guts, he single-handedly fought with those men of the family, risking his life, one of the adult men of the family was abolished by him, He could only lie on the bed, and the other leg was crippled, and this person died not long after, and all the people who saw him fight at that time, that kind of cruelty, how many years later, they were still terrified to death.

"These people who were abolished by him have descendants, right? They shouldn't give up, right? Did they retaliate later? Pomegranate question after question.

"Of course there are descendants, of course they can't swallow this breath, but they don't dare to come clearly, only dare to retaliate secretly, once almost burned down your father's big house in the county, those shops are often harassed by them to be unable to do business, your father in order to deal with them, he sold the house, the shop was also transferred, and then ran back to his ancestral hometown of Taohua Village to live, after selling the house shop, your father was alone, barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, he changed from passive to active, and harassed those people every day, Those people dragged their families with old people, young and women, and they couldn't prevent it, and they couldn't live anymore, so they moved to other places later? ”

"Where did you move?"

"I don't know, it's far away from here anyway, let's go outside the province!"

Pomegranate was puzzled, "What about the household registration?" Is it possible to settle wherever you want? ”

"At that time, there was no liberation, there was no talk of household registration books, and in those years, it was common for many people to move from one place to another in order to flee for their lives."

Jiang Hongxiang said: "So, those enemies have moved away?"

"They should all be gone, otherwise they won't let Shi Kailiang clean up."

"A twelve-year-old child made dozens of members of his family unable to stay in the local area, no wonder in the following years, no one dared to provoke my father anymore, my father is too powerful." Pomegranate admired this daddy more and more.

"Yes! Your father's business, in this area, no one does not know. So who else who is not long-sighted dares to provoke him. ”

"My dad is not wrong in this matter, he is in self-defense, except for this incident, my dad has not done anything other horrific, right?"

"Why not, then she robbed your mother again, and shocked many people."

Pomegranate grinned, "We analyzed this just now, but this doesn't count." ”

But those who don't know are of course afraid when they hear it.

"Oh! By the way, after those enemies moved away, why didn't my father go back to the county town to buy a house again and live in the county town? Is he afraid that the enemy will come back to take revenge on him? ”

"I don't know about this, maybe! In a small village like yours, it is a very conspicuous thing to come to a stranger, but it is different in the county seat, there are so many outsiders who come and go every day, so it is better to prevent crimes in the village. But fortunately, your father didn't go back to buy a house and shop, otherwise he would have been classified as a landlord, and it would be troublesome. ”

That's right! He's a blessing in disguise, Pomegranate thought.

The woman looked at Jiang Hongxiang, "I heard that you are engaged in the village, so this is the offspring!" looks very energetic, and you are a good match, although your father is gone, but there is an in-law to take care of, your life is not too difficult, you are now fifteen, right? It won't be long before you reach the age and become a parent. ”

Jiang Hongxiang wanted to explain, but Pomegranate stopped him with his eyes. There is nothing to explain about these things, besides, Jiang Hongxiang's identity is special, and if he says it, he will also attract the attention of others.

As for the in-laws, they don't think about Pomegranate, and Pomegranate doesn't expect them to take care of her, as long as they don't come to add chaos to Amitabha.

The woman babbled a lot about the pomegranate mother's past, sighed for a while, and then carried the firewood on her back.

Pomegranate watched her back go away, and thought to herself, the life of the woman here is too hard, if her mother is still alive, will she become very old and haggard like her best friend? Pomegranate shook her head, her father loved her so much, and he was reluctant to let her do heavy work, she shouldn't have become so old and haggard.

Pomegranate and Jiang Hongxiang sat for a while, and then carried firewood and walked down the mountain.

Passing by the cemetery, Pomegranate said, "I want to go and see them."

Pomegranate didn't say who to see, but Jiang Hongxiang understood who she was talking about, and he nodded, "I'll go with you." ”

They put the firewood on this side and walked to the cemetery with two large bouquets of azaleas and camellias.

Daddy and Mom's graveyard was in front, and in the distance, Pomegranate saw them standing silently side by side, and there was a 10,000-year-old plant on Mom's grave, which may have been planted by Daddy, but Daddy's grave was just bare new soil. After a month of Qingming, I planted a 10,000-year-old tree on my father's grave.

Pomegranate put a large handful of azaleas in front of his father's grave, and put the handful of camellias in front of his mother's grave.

Although Shi Kailiang is a rough man, he may not like to spend this kind of little daughter's mood, but he is a man who knows how to love, and his mother has been with him for a short time, but what she gets is wholehearted love. Her life is also worth it.

"Your father loves to drink, next time we come, we'll bring him a little wine."

"Good! Next time, I will definitely bring wine. ”

The two of them walked back silently, and when they were about to reach the entrance of the village, Jiang Hongxiang found an open place, "Pomegranate, take a rest here!" His voice was solemn.

Originally, they were chopping dry firewood, and it was not too heavy to carry, and they would arrive home after walking for a while, so there was no need to rest, but Pomegranate saw that Jiang Hongxiang seemed to have something to say. So he listened to him, put down the wood, and sat down beside him to rest.

After being silent for a while, Jiang Hongxiang said solemnly: "Pomegranate, I want to tell you something, of course, this is just my guess, I hope you must be calm and don't be impulsive after listening to it, okay?"

"What's the matter? You say, I will definitely calm down and not do impulsive things. Pomegranate assured.

"Pomegranate, I've always suspected that your father's death was a conspiracy."
