Chapter 473: The Past Is Like Smoke
For many years, since Guan Yun can remember, he has never heard his mother mention the matter of his mother's family, and to this day, he doesn't know how many uncles and aunts he has, and whether his grandfather and grandmother are still alive.
And the father is a single biography, and the grandfather and grandmother died early, so in the childhood of Guan Yun and Xiaomei, I often heard others go to the uncle, aunt and uncle, aunt's house to visit relatives, he and Xiaomei walked home alone hand in hand, and their hearts were full of loss, as if they were much more lonely than others in the world.
Later, when he grew up, he slowly realized the difficulties of his parents, especially his mother's unknown life experience, he no longer had any complaints, thinking about whether there are so many relatives or not, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that as long as the family is considerate and tolerant and loves each other. It may not be that there are relatives Chapter 473 that there are more things in the past, and it is not necessarily a good thing if there are fewer relatives, so it is good to look at everything.
Although Guan Yun is also close to knowing the truth about his mother's life experience, he is only close, and he doesn't fully know why his mother and the family have been estranged for so long, and now when he heard that his mother was going back to his parents' house, the shock in his heart was difficult to calm down for a long time.
What kind of hatred or misunderstanding can make my mother never go home once in more than 20 years? Between relatives, how deep can the enmity be that cannot be resolved? It's hard to imagine that my mother has lived alone in Kong County for more than 20 years, but fortunately, my father took good care of her.
Thinking about it like this, Guan Yun suddenly felt that he owed a lot to his mother, who left his hometown and worked hard to pull him and his little sister to grow up, during which he didn't know how many times he dreamed back at midnight, and he burst into tears when he remembered his life experience. And now that he and his little sister have grown up, they haven't said a word to their mother, "Mom has worked hard", when my mother misses her relatives, how bitter and tired she should be......
But fortunately, there was a little sister who stayed with his mother on the day he went to college in the capital, so that his mother would not be lonely. It's just that the little sister is going to leave home and go to the capital in a blink of an eye, and only her mother and father will be left at home in the future. Mom misses home Chapter 473 The past is like smoke, and it is also human nature for relatives in the township.
Guan Yun leaned over and said a few words to the little sister, the little sister nodded again and again, and then Guan Yun and the little sister stood up together. Holding hands, he bowed to his parents and parents: "Dad, Mom, thank you for your nurturing grace." You've worked hard. In the past, we were disobedient and ignorant, which broke your heart, but in the future we will be obedient and sensible, and be a good child. ”
The words of the two in unison and their sudden actions stunned their parents at the same time.
After a long time, my father coughed: "The children have grown up and become sensible, but they are leaving one by one......"
Mom's eyes were warm, she wiped her eyes, and said with relief, "Good boy." Sit down and listen to what your mother says......"
Guan Yun and Xiaomei sat down again, their hearts were full of affection and touch, Guan Yun quietly took Xiaomei's hand, and Xiaomei responded to him with a shallow smile. As if the past reappeared in an instant, he and his little sister returned to their childhood, back to the carefree time.
"Guan Yun, your grandfather is sick, I want to go back to see him, and I'll leave in two days. may coincide with the time when my little sister went to college, and your father and I won't be able to send my little sister to the capital, so I'll leave the matter of sending my little sister to you. ”
Guan Yun nodded: "Mom, don't worry, I already said that I would send my little sister to the capital." ”
"Your father and I went to see your grandfather, and for more than 20 years, his son-in-law always had to come to the door once." Mom smiled, there were indescribable vicissitudes and helplessness in her smile, "When we come back, I'll tell you about your mother's life experience......"
In the past, Guan Yun really wanted to know everything about his mother, but now he has seen a lot, if Lao Rongtou left the capital involuntarily in the turbulent years, and never set foot in the capital again, personal fate and joys and sorrows are indeed insignificant in the torrent of history, then my mother left her hometown back then, and was not allowed by the family in order to pursue the so-called love, everything she pursued, after decades of precipitation, look back and think about it, is it worth it?
As if she had guessed what Guan Yun was thinking, her mother answered his question.
"To tell the truth, Guan Yun and Xiaomei, my mother has you two adult children, even if you die, it's worth it. In this life, people will always be self-righteous at a stage, always believe in all good events, love, ideals, careers, and the future, in fact, no matter how many beautiful fantasies there are, if they are not rooted in the soil of reality, it will be a dream after all. Mom ran away from home for a single person, and finally let herself betray her relatives, now that I think about it, I was too stupid at that time. ”
Dad bowed his head and didn't speak, just fiddling with a few peanuts casually.
When I was young, I thought that love was everything, and in middle age, I realized that family is everything, and in old age, health and contentment are everything. Guan Yun admires his father a little, a person is not smart in everything, sometimes he is too smart, but he is smart and mistaken by smart, a truly wise person is smart when he should be smart, and when he should be confused, he will never be smart.
It's okay to have a little wisdom in life, but you have to remember that a little wisdom can't become a big wisdom after all. Wisdom is the ultimate in life.
In this way, my mother regrets her impulsiveness back then? Maybe my mother is still influenced by the so-called May Fourth ideology in her bones, and the May Fourth Movement of that year wanted to overthrow thousands of years of cultural traditions, what was the result? As a result, after the May Fourth Cultural Movement, a group of outstanding literati did come out, but later history only recorded their articles, but selectively ignored their character. How many people are hugging left and right outside, while his wife is at home to do her filial piety for him and serve his parents for the rest of his life!
What a great family, what a great thinker, is just a historical word game, many of this family and that family seem to be glamorous and great, but only from the simplest point of life, as a man is far less great than a woman who endures humiliation and burden!
How many women who only have a name but have nothing, abide by the feminine virtue of women, from the beginning to the end, would rather die than marry a second husband, even though she knows that her great and glamorous husband is surrounded by flowers and applause outside, money and beautiful women are abundant, but she never goes home, and does not honor her in-laws, she still has no regrets, dedication to filial piety, and spends a lonely and bleak life in the cold eyes of silence and worldliness.
The so-called emancipation of the mind is actually just a reason to indulge. Love is not everything, desperate for love, and in the end it hurts you the most. Freedom is not everything, any freedom will be limited to rules, freedom without rules is murder and arson.
Guan Yun felt deeply for a while, the trend of thought at that time is still deeply affecting the country's code of conduct, no organization and no discipline, no rules and free and loose, it is precisely because of this, it is the loss of inner moral beliefs, all to personal freedom and like as the highest principle, in the end can only be the society more and more indifferent, the distance between people is getting farther and farther, faith is slipping, money is supreme, if China's crisis of faith continues, he is convinced that in the near future, there will be waves of immigration.
"With your dad all these years, although he has no lofty ambitions, and he won't talk about it, but he is down-to-earth, lives a real life, lives calmly, I have also learned a lot from him, let go of the previous unrealistic illusions, and understand the truth that one step at a time can live with peace of mind, your father is a history teacher, but also a teacher of my life."
As soon as my mother said this, my father suddenly coughed, his face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was choking on peanuts or excited, he hurriedly took a sip of tea and smiled embarrassedly: "It's been more than 20 years with you, and it's the first time you've praised me, rare, really rare." ”
The old mother gave her a blank look: "What is rare?" The two of them are still boasting every day, aren't you ashamed? I'm talking here in front of my children. ”
Guan Yun and Xiaomei glanced at each other and laughed silently.
"Guan Yun, little sister, don't laugh, it's time to talk about you now." The old mother put away her smile and said seriously, "Guan Yun, you are seven years older than my little sister, if the age gap between you is smaller, such as three or four years old, according to my original intention, I want the two of you to start a family......"
Guan Yun was nothing, smiled calmly, and the little sister suddenly blushed, lowered her head, twisted her hands together, and was shy.
"Even I thought, even if you are seven years older, it's nothing, you have always taken good care of your little sister since you were a child, and if you marry her in the future, it will only be a natural continuation to take care of her for the rest of your life. However, things in the world are always difficult to have both, I want to think about it, now it seems that you and Xiaomei can only be brother and sister, not husband and wife. Mom's eyes fell lovingly on Xiaomei, "In the future, Xiaomei's lifelong affairs will be up to you, as long as you agree, your father and I will not have any opinions." ”
The more Guan Yun listened, the more unpleasant she became, how could her mother's words be like she was explaining the future, could it be that she was going to visit her grandfather or a dangerous trip?
"Mom, aren't your words a little too much today?" Guan Yun smiled hesitantly, "I'm hungry, and you won't let me eat?" ”
"Eat, eat, don't talk about it." Mom smiled and waved her hand, "I think I'm nagging, okay, it's okay if I don't say it?" ”
The little sister grinned and began to serve soup for everyone, and the family of four ate happily.
After dinner, Guan Yun walked in the courtyard for a while, and when he was about to take a nap, his father suddenly took out a letter: "I almost forgot, I have a letter from you." ”
Guan Yun wondered in his heart, who would send him a letter to his home? He rarely left his home address outside, he used to receive letters from the county party committee, then the Huangliang municipal party committee, and maybe the provincial party committee in the future......
He took the envelope and only glanced at it, and the familiar handwriting on it suddenly made him hold his breath! rq!!!
