27 The days to be born
Mom was very angry at the time, but soon she returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, and started talking and laughing again, and my little nephew was beaten up, and he also quieted down and stayed honestly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The next day, my husband went to work at the butcher shop, and I chatted with my mother at home. I don't know how to mention the eldest sister, the eldest sister has two daughters, and the younger daughter is less than a year old. The mother said: "Your eldest sister gave birth to a boy on this child, it has been past the due date for several days, she still plays mahjong all day long, and when she goes to the hospital, the child is still angry when she is born, I put the child in my arms and covered it for a while, she doesn't understand, the child must have frozen to death." ”
The mother just imagined out of thin air, how could the child freeze to death in the hospital? After all, the child eventually left. Mom then said: "Your eldest sister borrowed a thousand yuan from me, but she didn't pay me back at all, so she had to say that she paid me back." Rely on me for a thousand yuan, otherwise this boy can't die, she should be ruined, this is a loss! ”
Hearing these words, I only felt goosebumps all over my body, and my heart was indescribably cold, and even a kind of fear and despair, is this a mother saying something about her child? Isn't the affection between mother and daughter worth a thousand yuan? I really can't figure out what else is in my mother's eyes and heart besides money? Is family affection worthless?
Thinking of my mother's words and deeds, whether it is treating me or my sisters, or even treating my father or my own biological parents, I really can't see the slightest bit of warmth, my heart really feels lonely and helpless, and I can't even figure out: what is a person living for? For a long time, many times, I was always very hesitant, and sometimes I kept asking myself: Why do you live? What do you live for?
My heart also began to get farther and farther away from my mother, my mood was indescribably low, and I didn't even bother to say a word, and my mother probably felt bored, so she took her little nephew to live in my house for two days and left.
At that time, most families were cooking with liquefied gas, and there seemed to be a limit to that thing at that time. Later, the third brother-in-law found a related household and got us a liquefied gas tank with a "hukou", which was not only a free tank, but also very cheap and safe. With it, cooking is really much more convenient!
When there was still more than half a month before the expected delivery date, my husband had been working in a butcher shop for more than two years, and he decided to do it himself, so he took the opportunity to give birth to a child, resigned from the boss in advance, and then returned home to take his mother-in-law from home to Shenyang. Now I feel that the two are still too immature and too dependent, and if there is no old man, don't they want children? Two adults don't dare to face a child?
The husband and mother-in-law came back with a big bag and a small package, and the child's various bedding, cotton, single, thick, thin, big, small, everything, looking at such a small thing, I was really strange, I don't know what the child will look like when he is born?
As soon as I got home, my mother-in-law took out a few hundred yuan from the pocket of her underwear (my mother-in-law sewed a pocket for money in front of her pants, and she still uses this safe and reliable method to bring money), and said to me with a solemn expression: "You also know the situation of our family, this is the 300 yuan that your second sister has given Zhang Luo now." This is 200 yuan given by your eldest sister, and your eldest sister is really difficult, your eldest brother-in-law works alone, and the family of four relies on him to earn money alone! I had to have two children at the beginning, today I was sick, tomorrow I was uncomfortable, I didn't have to use money, it was really sad! ”
When I heard my mother-in-law say this, where could I stand it? hurriedly said: "We have enough money to have a child, you can give her the eldest sister's money back!" Our family is so difficult, let's take this money back and use it! ”
The mother-in-law was so moved that she almost burst into tears, and she put the money back in her underwear pocket, and then began to organize the children's things.
On the fourth day, when the three of them were immersed in the anticipation of the child who was about to be born, Xue Yan's scolding and scolding came from next door: "You old immortal ......" The mother-in-law didn't know what was going on, and looked at us blankly. It must be Ma Baole who went out to drink again and didn't care about his mother, Xue Yan was taking care of the old man for him.
The husband explained: "There is an old lady next door who is paralyzed in bed, unable to take care of herself, her daughter-in-law serves her, and sometimes scolds her when she is angry. ”
The mother-in-law was puzzled and shocked: "How can this daughter-in-law treat the old man like this?" Isn't this iniquity? This is to break life, and you can't do it as a human being! The grace of birth and nurturing is greater than the sky, doesn't the old lady's son care? How can there be such an unfilial son and daughter-in-law? ”
The husband frowned: "Her son drinks all day long, and there are too many reasons for it, and he can't tell it for a while, but then again, the old lady didn't scold her daughter-in-law before she got sick, it's better to treat pigs and dogs, and the daughter-in-law is not less aggrieved, otherwise the daughter-in-law can't scold her all day long, this is called a report and a report, right?" But this daughter-in-law scolded and scolded, and she really didn't let the old lady freeze hungry. ”
The mother-in-law was obviously very uncomfortable: "As an old man, there are many people, after all, she is an elder, how can she repay it?" No matter how good the service is, if you don't have a good face, you can't live that day? You can't behave like this and do such unconscionable things. ”
My mother-in-law should have said this to me, and of course she knew that her son would not be able to disobey her elders at any time and under any circumstances. Of course, she doesn't know much about me, or my nature is good, who can guarantee that there is such a neighbor, who will not be affected by her after being with Xue Yan for a long time? I don't know if I've learned it.
I have indeed become accustomed to the scolding next door, and even numbly thought that all this was as it should be, normal, and taken for granted.
We began to wait for the birth of the child, and when the family of three had nothing to do, the mother-in-law began to reminisce about the bittersweet memories and tell us about her and her father-in-law.
My mother-in-law's name is Sun Yujiao, and my father was also the eldest son of a big family at that time: "My mother gave birth to many children, and in the end, only my eldest sister was left, and none of them were occupied. At that time, no son was a desperate family, unfilial piety had three, no queen was the greatest, my father in order to continue the incense, to the family to pass on the lineage, and married a fifteen-year-old yellow flower girl (before liberation, marrying a multi-room wife is a legal thing), I was expecting her to be able to spread the branches, who knows how many years of marriage, the stomach did not react. ”
"At this time, my own mother was pregnant again, and when she gave birth to me, because she was a girl, the family discriminated against her. At that time, my aunt was even more bad in her stomach, and her mother was bad in all her ways, my mother was honest and cowardly, and she didn't even dare to squeak when she was bullied, and she would swallow her anger, just like that, when I was three years old, my own mother died and said goodbye to the world, and I didn't even know what my mother looked like. ”
My mother-in-law often recalled with emotion: "I was brought up by my father's little wife, and my adoptive mother took me very expensive because she had no children. I'm eighteen years old, and I'm still in the same bed with my adoptive mother! I don't want to do anything, I'm always afraid that I'll be tired. There was one thing - I learned to do needlework, and that was because my adoptive mother didn't know how to do needlework, and my father's socks were broken, and there were no socks like the ones we wear now, and those socks were a little more complicated than cloth, and they were wrapped around their feet. My adoptive mother was stunned to sew out a blame, can she not wear it? Dad scolded her! I was thirteen or fourteen years old, and I took the socks and sewed them again, and my dad was really good at wearing them, and then, I did all the needlework in the family. I didn't have anything to do, just tracing the patterns on the New Year's pictures or some embroidery, and I embroidered them myself, just like I used to embroider all the things I used to use at home. ”
Mother-in-law's embroidery skills are really a must, now few people will do this kind of hand embroidery, she can vividly embroider a variety of flowers, birds, fish and insects, it is really breathtaking. Now in her eighties, she still embroiders baby products for her grandchildren. She wore reading glasses: "Leave a memory for the children!" ”
Later, the Japanese devils invaded, and my mother-in-law's father participated in the anti-Japanese team, and he was still a small leader in the team.
In the year of liberation, my mother-in-law, who originally planned to follow the female eighth road to become a soldier, was stopped by my grandmother: "I filled out the registration form, and said that I would secretly leave the next day with a female eighth road, and my grandmother knew about it somehow." ”
My mother-in-law recalled the scene at that time, and still said unwillingly: "My grandmother won't let me go, saying that girls can only be at home, and they can't enter the door without going out, and they must abide by the ancient precepts and be a good woman with three obedience and four virtues. If it weren't for my grandmother not letting me join the Eighth Route Army, why would I be a national cadre now, and I don't even have an old insurance like I am now? ”
"That's how I rot at home, I was not in good health when I was a child, people of my age generally got married and had children at the age of sixteen or seventeen, when I was a child, my father asked a fortune teller to tell my fortune, saying that I didn't live to be twenty-two years old, I haven't been looking for my in-laws, you think, so old, I died not long after marrying someone, isn't that a pit person? It wasn't until I was over twenty-two years old and alive that my dad started looking for my in-laws. ”
"My father was the village head at the time, and I was the secretary of the Youth League branch in the village. I didn't see much at that time, there was a college student, big and tall, and he was quite satisfied with me, but my father was afraid that the composition of the family was not good, and his family was a rich peasant, so he talked about this for a while. I see a lot, either pick this or that! Later, someone introduced your father, and to be honest, I didn't like your father at all. Your dad is alone without a home and mouth, and he is honest and honest, my dad fell in love all of a sudden, and my dad meant: no son recruits a son-in-law. ”
My mother-in-law said helplessly: "Although I am liberated, my parents are still in charge of the marriage, and I can only listen to my father's arrangement." At that time, your father had no relatives and no reason, but when it was time to get married, all the relatives in his family came out. ”
