Chapter 6: Mao's Story
.
Aquarius asked what he was going to do, and after discussing it with his father, he came over to help, indicating that he did not want to continue living at home. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Yingzi discussed with Shui Qing, and let her go home to live for the time being, and then help her arrange it when she gets busy with work.
Give her eight yuan a month, and as for how she discusses with the old man in the end, it depends on her own ability.
Sending away the water bottle, Mao also sighed that it was not easy for this child, born in such a family, it is very good to have such a heart now. Like the eldest sister and the second sister, they have gone to extremes, and they still rely on themselves in their last days.
Yingzi said that Shui Ran's child was also quite disappointing, I thought it was just a soft temperament, and everyone still had love for so many years, but the last time the family split was really chilling, and this time I went back like a stranger.
"Everyone has a personal life, and there is no way, ask for more blessings, Niu Er can be good to her, this is also the marriage she asked for." Mao said.
After talking to the family for a while, I urged the children to go to bed quickly, and tomorrow is another busy day, and there are many things to be done.
Later, Die'er and Xiaolu quarreled to sleep with their grandmother, but Yingzi couldn't do it, so she had to rely on them.
As soon as they got into bed, Die'er and Xiaolu opened their eyes wide and stared at Mao, making her feel furious.
"What are you two little girls looking at? Do I have flowers on my face? Mao gave a slap on the ass and said.
"Grandma, you told us about grandma." Xiao Lu said directly.
Mao was stunned for a moment, and laughed at their memories. Thought they had forgotten about it. Changed to a comfortable sitting position, let Die'er and Xiaolu lie on her lap, and touched the smooth foreheads of the two girls.
Let my grandmother tell you a story. Just listen to it. I was born in the Republic of China, even though there were fireworks and wars outside, my family was still harmonious and my parents were loving.
I also have an older brother who is five years older than me and enjoys everyone's favor as the only girl in the family. When I was five years old. The family invited my husband to enlighten me, that is, at that time, the family found that my intelligence was not only manifested in ordinary times, but also in learning.
I can quickly recite all the books I have read, and my husband was shocked and asked his family to resign, saying that he was afraid of delaying me. Recommend me another more prestigious old gentleman.
The old gentleman was very stern. I had to practice 100 big characters every day to read a book, and I had to complete the homework he assigned before I had time to go out and play. After the Xinhai Revolution, women were allowed to go out to work, and my father and mother spared no effort to nurture me so that I could live a better life in the future. Mao's eyes were filled with tears, and this should be the best time of her life. Wiping the corners of her eyes, Mao continued her story.
"A girl will eventually get married, at the age of eighteen. My parents found a family for me, and my husband's family was a businessman's family. Fortunately, my future husband is a scholar. My mother thinks that such a family is the most suitable for me, although I am usually quite assertive, but I completely obey my parents in marriage, because I believe that what my mother is looking for me must be the best.
When the man came to our house for the dowry, I sneaked a glance behind the window, and I was indeed a talent, but the only thing I was not satisfied with was that he still had long braids. Although I am a woman, my husband has a thunderous political class before class every day, and he says that this is the foundation of his future life, and he has to learn it.
When I asked this question, my family comforted me by saying that cutting braids was just a formality, but he was a real revolutionary. I don't believe it, but I can't stop it, I accept new ideas, but I'm still bound up. Many times, I ask myself whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that I know more than anyone else.
In such a situation, in fact, I knew very well in my heart that the war would spread here sooner or later, and how to keep my family was an urgent issue for me to consider at that time, and my husband's family could be my help, so I agreed to this marriage.
I guessed the ending, but I didn't guess the process, the war did start to engulf my hometown as I expected, but I didn't expect it to be so quick and tragic. My parents, my brother, and my teachers were all killed in the war, and I hated it very much, hated my own short-sightedness, and if I had paid more attention to political affairs, I could have avoided the war.
But I was already blinded by jealousy, and my husband brought back a woman from outside, and even led a child about the same age as my daughter. How can I bear pride like me, at that time, I thought every day about how to leave this negative man.
When I remembered the gunshot, my daughter was far away in a suburban courtyard because I didn't want her to see her parents separated. Finally, when I arrived, it was already a sea of fire, and I searched every inch of the courtyard without finding my precious daughter, who was two years older than you, and as intelligent and lovely as us Butterfly and Little Green. This farewell is more than 50 years, and I don't know if she is okay or if she will have a chance to see her again in her lifetime. Speaking of this, Mao's tears could no longer be controlled, Die'er and Xiaolu stepped forward and hugged the thin old man in front of them tightly, how strong she was to come here to settle down, and wait patiently, this is more than 50 years.
"Grandma, don't cry, it's us. Since no one has been found, it means that she may still be alive, and we will do our best to find her, so as long as you do one thing, that is, live in good health, you will definitely be able to see her. Die'er hugged Mao and promised.
"Silly girl, this is more than 50 years ago, in the war era, how many wives were separated, and in the end, a few people were able to find their relatives, I am very content with you, and there are people who send me old." Mao smiled and nodded Butterfly's nose.
"Yes, my sister said that if she can find it, she will definitely find it." In Xiao Lu's eyes, Butterfly is simply an all-powerful existence, so she is very confident in her words.
"Okay, grandma is waiting for this day." Mao wiped his tears.
"Do you still have any impressions of your hometown? It is also okay if your daughter has a birthmark or a recognizable feature. Die'er thought for a moment and asked.
"My daughter has an exact bracelet like yours, and these bracelets are my mother's dowry. Find the other one, and you're not far from finding her. Mao thought for a moment and pointed to the bracelet on Die'er's arm.
Die'er and Little Green were stunned, could it be that there is another person in this world who is also experiencing the same life as themselves?
"Grandma, is there anything peculiar about this bracelet? As a dowry, there must be something extraordinary about it, right? Die'er put it another way.
"I didn't see anything extraordinary, my mother just told me that this pair of bracelets was handed down by the elders all the way, and there was once a holy monk who said that people who are destined to meet it will enjoy glory and wealth. So, I brought one for my daughter when she was full moon, and the other for you when she was full moon. Mao looked at the bracelet and fell into memory again.
"Don't worry, grandmother, the ancestors will keep your daughter safe." Die'er comforted.
"Thank you, this thing has been pressing on my heart for so many years, and I don't know how to say it today. I hope that with your good words, I will be able to see my daughter again. Mao flattened his body and lay down to make himself more comfortable.
This story drained all Mao's energy, and he fell asleep after a while.
Die'er helped Mao cover the quilt, and crept back to her room with Little Green, and soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Yingzi was making breakfast, and heard someone talking at the door, and when she came out, she saw that it was a water bottle, and Shui Qingzheng asked her how she was going back.
Aquarius said that her father agreed, but that she would have to pay him all of her monthly wages, and she agreed. Die'er heard her sister-in-law's words in the house, and admired her, it was rare to have such a sober girl.
"Have you had breakfast? I'm doing it, let's come in and eat. Yingzi greeted, and the water bottle was not polite, and asked Yingzi what she could help with today as she walked.
Butterfly didn't expect the water bottle to move so fast, and before she even thought about letting her participate in that part, she had already leveled the old man. After all, this is the foundation of his own family, and it is all over, and one day when people start another stove, they can only drink the northwest wind.
Die'er got up quickly, drafted an employment contract, checked it, there was no problem, went out and took the opportunity to pull Shui Qing in and hand it to him.
"Dad, this is a contract, everything is done according to the contract, avoid trouble." After throwing it to him, he went to wash.
After reading it, Shui Qing stayed for a long time, and the baby became a sperm. Thinking about it, I still folded it up and put it in my pocket, thinking about finding a time to sum it up with Yingzi later, why tell my little sister.
Aquarius watched the eldest brother's family talking and laughing and eating breakfast, and suddenly burst into tears, which scared everyone.
"Aquarius, what's wrong? Unhappy eating? Mao asked.
"Grandma, no. I knew that it was because my father was too much, so I also supported the eldest brother to split up at that time, but I couldn't help but feel a little resentful in my heart, and the life at home would be even more difficult after the eldest brother left. But today, when I saw my eldest brother and his family happily eating breakfast, I realized how selfish my thoughts were. Growing up, this meal was the happiest I've ever had. "Aquarius was crying and laughing, and everyone was stupid.
"Silly boy, happiness is all earned by yourself, you are already great, and you will definitely be as happy as your eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future." Mao helped her spoon a bowl of white fungus soup and persuaded her.
"Well, I also believe that I can do it. From today on, I listen to my eldest brother and sister-in-law for everything, work hard, and live my life well. Aquarius straightened her back and said firmly.
"yes, congratulations on starting a new life, cheers, no, cheers." Xiao Lu held a bowl of porridge and said happily. This toast was newly learned at my grandmother's house, so it's appropriate to put it here.
Let's all raise the bowl and work hard for a new life!
