Chapter 2 The knife sharpens the edge, and the man sharpens the tool
I woke up again in a commotion, this time with a completely unfamiliar sound. For the last week, the end of summer has been in such a noisy daily day, and the house has never been more lively than ever, and the people who come and go are both excited and indignant, and there are also those who shout loudly and then persuade the big ones to let go and leave.
The man's family is more likely to scold and scold, and then persuade the woman to leave; The woman's friend is more to ask her for more money, and the child can be dispensed with, after all, she is still young.
At the end of summer, looking at the girl who had gradually fallen silent in the past few days, she had always known that she was very smart and precocious, but she didn't know that she was so able to judge the situation so early. The little girl usually doesn't cry, and only when outsiders appear at home will she repeatedly say in a glutinous voice: Be good, don't cry.
Don't think that children don't understand, in fact, children are the most able to read the face of the type of person, the expression of adults and the changes in the environment, the child's consciousness is the most accurate. She may know that this time there is really no way to be the same as before, or maybe she will be discarded.
Xia Wei: "Sister, we will grow up together and will not be separated, right?" Suddenly the little girl asked, just with a crying voice.
Last night her grandmother came to the house and took a sum of money, not much but not a lot. At the end of the summer, she didn't participate in the process, but she knew the results, so she stayed quietly under her bed.
Xia Mo smiled faintly, and there was a faint whirlpool at the corner of his mouth: "It shouldn't be, you have your life, and I have mine." ”
Xia Wei touched her forehead, it was still very hot: "What my sister said, I don't understand." Oh, don't think about it, sleep well, my sister is with you. ”
Looking at the girl who coaxed herself, her little hand patted her quilt and sniffed at the end of summer. It turned out that she had also been treated carefully, but it had been too long, and she had long since dried into ashes and dissipated in her memory.
These days, she has thought a lot, whether people can't fight for their lives, some things are doomed, and once it changes, it will affect a piece of people. The Buddha often said that cause and effect, and that layers of things arise and die together, and that may really exist.
Last night she had a dream: the old man looked at her very kindly, and said slowly to take good care of herself and live well; Don't be greedy, don't be demanding, don't be sad, the end will always come.
She woke up suddenly, thinking slowly. She has always believed that loneliness is the best way for people to think, and many epiphanies are born in loneliness. Human beings are inherently individual individuals and do not need to be grouped together.
Don't be sad about the past, don't be greedy for the future, care about the present, and thus be peaceful. Let what should come come, let what should go go, don't envy others, don't pity yourself; Don't be nostalgic for the past, don't fantasize about the future, grasp the present, sow good seeds, only ask about hard work, not about the results.
This may be the reason why she came, live your own life, don't be demanding that it doesn't belong to you. It's admonition, it's advice, and she'll follow it well.
At the end of the summer, at dinner, I saw my grandfather, whom I had never seen in two lifetimes, a tall, dark-skinned and somewhat rickety man, who spoke in dialects he did not understand, and watched the young children turn their heads and speak. My grandmother was a very petite woman, she could speak the dialect here, but she had a strong accent.
This is the woman's mother's family, although I have always known, but I have never seen it. The woman had four younger brothers and two younger sisters, and this time they all came. The younger brothers were very angry, and the eldest sister scolded loudly.
Although the aunt has a quick temper, she is very gentle to serve food at the end of summer. At the end of the summer, she returned a faint smile, because she cared about herself very much in her previous life, and looked for her after dropping out of high school, hoping that she could go to school well and she would pay the tuition.
But she refused, and indifferently asked her to leave. Because there was resentment and hatred in her heart at that time, the young man always cared about his ridiculous self-esteem and left himself with infinite remorse.
Even if you know you're going to lose, face it with a smile.
The next day, the man's relatives also arrived, but the protagonist didn't arrive. Sitting at the top of the stairs and watching the crowd and listening to the quarrel was more satisfying than ever. It seems like it's been a long time since it's been so lively, but in fact, it's pretty good to look like this, and the days go by day by day.
The two parties are stuck in the child's aspect, and the man's child can be or not, if he has to stay, he wants to be big. The woman's family wanted no children, and they also wanted a compensation. After a few days of noisy and noisy noise, there was no result, and in the end, Lin Feng agreed to take one away and the compensation was halved.
At the end of summer, the corners of the mouth are hooked, and the result is the same as before, there is no deviation, so it's good. The man may not have thought that Lin Feng would secretly hold the child and walk away in the middle of the night, and no one would think about this.
At the end of the summer, after Lin Feng went downstairs, she carefully followed, watching her walk into the dark night with the girl in her arms, without looking back. That's good, at least knowing what you're going to do in the future.
At the end of summer, close the door, go upstairs, turn on the light and look at the small room, look at the unpopular and deserted bedding, not happy or sad; She searches for her vague memories to find the money that the woman left for herself, a newly bought dress, and the money is sewn into the mezzanine. A thousand yuan is a lot in this era, and in her previous life, she found out and flattered the man, and then used it in the production of another woman.
Only after experiencing it can I know what can be given and what must be grasped; Not for anything else, I just want my life to be better. At the end of the summer, he put on his clothes, hugged his little pillow, took one last look at the empty room, turned off the lights and left.
The people in the memories are better than not seen; There are some things that can only be kept in the heart. The wounds were bloody and painful, and after repeating the experience, I realized that all the qiē was nothing, all in one thought.
There are too many emotions and memories that need time to dilute and time to let go. As long as you get through those sufferings, you will find that the vulnerabilities and pains that you have tried so hard to hide are not so unbearable.
When Grandma Xia opened the door, she saw a little girl, standing quietly at the door with a small pillow. Aunt Xia, who came out later, was also startled, and immediately hugged her, touching her somewhat cold face and hands: "Momo, why are you standing at the door so early?" Are you hungry? What about your mother? ”
I heard that the end of the summer followed Aunt Xia from the beginning of weaning to the age of three, but later returned to the Xia family because of the opposition of her mother-in-law's family. Therefore, it also leads to the quiet and loneliness of the end of summer, and it is also because of this that I am not close to my parents.
Late summer: "Mom and sister didn't go to bed when they woke up, they were gone." Can I follow grandma in the future? This sentence had a great impact on this family, Aunt Xia seemed to be irresponsible, and the money to be returned in Grandma Xia's eyes was gone.
When Xia Guoan got the news and hurriedly rushed home with Huang Zhen, he only saw a little girl sitting quietly in the corner, silent, and even stingy with a look. He roared angrily: "Lin Feng is too much, how can he take Weiwei away?" Words don't count, no, I can't just leave it at that. ”
Grandma Xia was pointed at and held her breath as soon as she went out these days: "You can't forget it, what do you want to do?" Do you dare to run to their house to ask for someone? Although Lin Feng is from the mountains, don't forget that this is a good thing you have done. ”
Aunt Xia walked over from next door: "Speaking of which, it's your own sin, otherwise sister-in-law can do this." Besides, you dare to go to so many of their relatives? Otherwise, you won't be hiding for the next few days, and you won't even show your face. There was no trace of politeness in his speech, and there was no respect that my sister had for her brother.
Xia Guoan was said to be faceless, and he was annoyed and angry: "You see her so stupid and stupid, what are we going to do with her?" It's not that you don't know how smart Weiwei is, this Lin Feng is smart. ”
Aunt Xia was not happy when she heard this: "What's the matter, I haven't felt stupid for three or four years, and your brother-in-law also praised her for being smart, why did you two husbands and wives become this character after two years." If you don't raise it, I'll take it home. ”
Aunt Xia also has two sons and has always wanted a daughter, so she said casually: "Yes, you don't want us to take it back." I haven't seen anyone like you, and I don't want my own daughter. After speaking, he glanced at the woman sitting on the side: "Mom, I think that in the future, my eldest sister and I will deposit the pension money directly in the bank for you, and there will be no one to save the pension in the end." This made a mess in the house before entering the door, and people were pointing fingers everywhere I went. ”
Aunt Xia has a son and a daughter, the age difference is relatively large, and she is already working. The family situation is relatively good, the husband is in a public institution, but he has a more troublesome mother-in-law; Xia Xiaogu's family is relatively poor, and her husband is also wandering around, but fortunately, the relationship is good, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law also help, so she speaks louder.
Grandma Xia patted the table: "You two just stop a little, boss, you don't know what your mother-in-law's temper is, is it possible for you to take it again?" And you, two sons can't be raised, do you still want to raise one? ”
Grandma Xia sighed: "Guoan, since everything is like this, I won't say anything." Take good care of Huang Zhen, don't go to Lin Feng's side, it's your fault. As for the end, if you two want to raise it, you can take it away, and if you don't raise it, I will take it, and just give some money every month. Momo is still young, but he doesn't like to talk and is very obedient. ”
Xia Guoan wanted to say something, but Huang Zhen grabbed him: "Mom, it's better for you to raise it, we will give fifteen yuan a month, and we will pay for everything." It's not that I don't want to take Momo, you also know that I can't take care of it now, and my house is relatively small, and half of it is for my former parents, and the national security has to be busy with the clothes shop, for fear that Momo will be wronged. ”
Xia Xiaogu smiled, she knew about this woman's situation, although she was not from the same town. This woman is also powerful, she has a small shop by herself, and the conditions are good, and she has not been married for a long time; In the end, when I was old, I found one casually, but my ex-husband died in a mining accident; Then because of the quarrel with the in-laws, they divided the house, and divided half of the money and the house.
But if you really compare this Huang Zhen or lose to Lin Feng, whether it is appearance or character. This Huang Zhen likes to gamble and is lavish. This is also the reason why the aunt of the Xia family doesn't look down on her, if it weren't for the piece of meat in her stomach, the old lady would still not agree.
The old lady touched the end of the summer's head: "That's it, at the end of the month, I will take you to give me some money every month." Your dad will be back next month and you yourself will talk to him about it. You will go to the opposite room and collect your things, take them with you if you want, and move back with your sisters and sisters if you don't want them. And the rent was just paid, so I went to the second wife to retreat. ”
The perfect solution of this matter satisfies the minds of two people, one is Huang Zhen and the other is late summer.
Huang Zhen knew last night that he was going to take his eldest daughter with him, and his heart ached. Not to mention the money needed to raise a child, even the child's attitude towards himself also knows that the future will not be easy. Although, the doctors said that the son was in the belly, but who knew if it was not born, and the man knew how spoiled he was when he talked about the happy appearance of his eldest daughter.
Now, it's easy to be this quiet little girl; And in the future, I don't have to live together to save a lot of money, and in a few years I will have to go to elementary school, and the town tuition fee is a lot of money. Raised in the village, and later went to school in the village.
And the happy thing about the end of summer is that she doesn't need to live with strangers, she doesn't have to look at other people's eyes anymore, and more importantly, some things have quietly changed.
In her previous life, she went to live in the town for two years, and the woman was busy entrusting herself to her former mother-in-law. For a child who robs his son's wife, the old man is hostile. Although he won't scold, he will go hungry and be locked in the house. gradually developed a withdrawn and unsociable temperament, and at the same time, it also made her eat Haisai like a fight every time she ate.
This kind of day lasted for two years, and if it weren't for Aunt Xia's distress for the child, she wouldn't know the situation when she went to see it temporarily. At that time, at the end of summer, he was skinny and skinny, his face was sallow, and only a pair of eyes appeared to be bright. Then, Grandma Xia brought it herself, but at that time, there was no food fee of fifteen yuan a month. Because the woman gave birth to a son and spoke loudly, and they lost a lot during that time.
Such a result is good, at least she will not starve, and she will not suffer inexplicable white eyes.
The hardest thing in life is the double torture of the mind and body, what kind of endless spiritual longing and hunger bring great mental torture, making the end of summer numb and sluggish. This may have been the beginning of the tragedy of her life.
Now at the end of the summer, she is full of gratitude, grateful to those who tortured her. The knife is not sharpened, and the person is not sharpened. You should be grateful to those who torture you, whether they are good or bad, because at the same time they are torturing you, they are also perfecting you. They are the ones who make you grow, mature, and succeed!
