Chapter 6 Childlike Love

At this time, the young Wu Wei likes to brave the drizzle to climb to the top of the bunker in the autumn rain, a lush scene, the scenery presented in the eyes is so beautiful and picturesque, neatly arranged, verdant farmland, in the autumn rain looks so poetic; The trees and flowers swaying in the wind and rain seem to have gained vitality; The canal is lined with lush forests, and it comes from a farming family, so you still feel very close to the rain in autumn. The rain was pouring down, and when I heard the loud noise, I was very happy in my heart, excited by the coolness and suitability brought by the rain, and even more happy that the crops and flowers and trees were moistened by the rain.

In his childhood, Wu Wei began to fall in love with Mei Yuan, who was the same age as Tuweizi, childlike love was innocent and vague, and he couldn't even tell when it happened, but it was just looming in his heart, and he kept it lightly, and he felt very happy. innocent without the slightest impurity; Good-looking but vague image, I feel like an oriental beauty, I can be called a beauty, I haven't had any personal contact, let alone emotional communication, but I have become a person I want to see day and night. Wu Wei is emotionally autistic, ashamed to express, hidden deep in his heart, the sustenance of his emotional life.

Mei Yuan's father was the secretary of the commune, but unfortunately he died prematurely when he was suffering from cancer in his early forties, leaving behind his orphan daughter and widowed mother. Wu Wei occasionally walked into her house to borrow something, only to see that it was cleaned up, and there was that faint fragrance when he entered the house. Her mother later had a relationship with the administrator of the water diversion project, and the family was constantly white, and the cook turned a blind eye when he got the benefits. Mei Yuan is not only good at studying, but also the head of the class when she goes to school, but unfortunately her stepfather treats her like her own flesh and blood after all, and she gives up studying to work as a farmer after graduating from primary school. The teacher and principal came to her home to do mobilization work, saying that she was a good seedling, and if she continued to study, she would definitely be admitted to a good university in the future, have a great career, and win glory for her family. Stepfather Lao Zhao didn't want to listen to such words, after all, he was not his own flesh and blood, and the girl brought by his wife felt like a burden. Lao Zhao said to the teacher and principal, a girl, reading too many books is not of much use, just be able to write and write to deal with the things in front of you, you see so many women in the tunzi, they can't even write, they don't know their names, I think it's very good. Mei Yuan's mother sat aside, although she felt sorry for her girl, but she couldn't squeak when she came to understand Lao Zhao's mind over the years. Mei Yuan knew what her stepfather was thinking, and she didn't want to make her mother sad, so she said happily, thank you to the teacher and principal for their concern for me, and I really want to continue to study, but the situation of my family, the teachers have also seen it, my uncle's hardships in raising us over the years, I see it in my eyes, and I am also very anxious in my heart, and I want to reduce some burden for him. Now that I'm older, even though I'm a girl, I can do some farm work, help my mother with some housework, and let my younger sister and brother go to school in the future. When the teacher heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad, and said helplessly, you have to miss the opportunity in front of you, and that's it for the rest of your life. Mei Yuan said, at my age, I can't just think about my future, I should worry about my family. The teacher and principal had no choice but to shake their heads regretfully and take their leave. How many outstanding rural children are not smart, not talented, but unfortunately because they are too poor, they have lost the conditions for studying and have been buried. Mei Yuan is not only knowledgeable, but also does a good needlework, the soles of the shoes, generally are the work of middle-aged women, her delicate hands are also holding the awl needlework, the soles of the needlework are fine and symmetrical, as if the mechanism is general, made into shoes and wear strong and Xuan. Established early, sensible, but his personality is more depressed. Later, he married a demobilized soldier Hongzhi and lived an ordinary farm life.

Wu Wei's childlike love is naïve and has no communication, just because he has left a very good-looking and beautiful image in his heart for a long time, which can be retained in his soul for a long time, and has developed the character of cherishing and caring for the beautiful man, and established a high starting point for Wu Wei's aesthetics. This prevented him from starting his love life prematurely like the young people around him. Childlike love is pure and fluttering, lacking unforgettable, lacking deep and clear memories, but it appears in dreams from time to time. This time there was a response in a dream, and the response was so complete, she said to Wu Wei, I also know your mood very well, and I sympathize with you very much, but it's a pity that there is no fate between us. If we really have a fate and get married in the countryside, what will happen to the end?

One day, Wu Wei came home from school and said to his mother that he would go to his eldest brother's house at noon today to see the eldest brother

My brother is very sick. In the evening, Gui Fang and Wu Liang hurried to see that Wu Quan was already sick in bed. At this time, Wu Quan looked seriously malnourished, suffering from the reincarnation of wind and frost swords, and his blood and qi were just in his early thirties, and his eyes were sunken, his eyes were black, his face was scorched, and his face was full of sadness, as if he had been tortured by a serious illness, and his eyes gradually sank a little. Gui Fang saw that her eyes hurt her heart, and even she herself was hit by the changes in her life, and before she was fifty years old, her face was full of wrinkles, her waist was hunched, and she looked like she was not old and decrepit, but she was still struggling to support herself. Gui Fang cried and complained that Wu Quan's daughter-in-law was so sick, why didn't she tell her family earlier. Wu Quan said weakly, Mom, don't be in a hurry, this family is enough for Mom and Dad to worry about, and I'm blocking Mom like this. Wu Quan also instructed Wu Liang and said, in a family like ours, don't complain that those relatives don't help, and people don't dare to reach out to help. Wu Liang was already in tears, and said to the eldest brother in a stalk, it was the eldest brother who became like this for us younger brothers and sisters, and now that I have it, it will be good for my younger brothers and sisters to grow up. Gui Fang said to Wu Liang, three, you will lead your eldest brother to the commune tomorrow to find your father to get some money, go to the county to find your second brother again, and go to the hospital to treat your eldest brother quickly. Wu Quan firmly disagreed with this. Gui Fang said angrily, this time you will listen to your mother. As a result, he went to the county to go through the hospitalization procedures the next day, and on the third day, Wu Quan took his younger brother to take the train home inattention, and died of illness at home. At the funeral, after discussing with his parents, Wu Gui led several younger brothers and sisters to kneel down for the eldest brother, crying that the eldest brother was worried about this family and became ill, and the younger brothers and sisters cried together, touching the villagers and shedding tears of sympathy. After the funeral and settled the sister-in-law, the brothers and sisters followed their parents on the way back to Tun, although they looked ahead, their minds were full of the figure of the eldest brother, and they were thinking of the eldest brother, and the kind of responsibility and sacrifice of the eldest brother has been deeply engraved in their memories and cast in the footsteps of their lives.

At that time, a family like this required someone within the family to make self-sacrifice, combined with later assistance and assistance. This is a human ladder composed of a combination of self-sacrifice and return assistance formed within the family in a society in transition. Such a human ladder is too important to a family like Wu Laomo, and the failure of the human ladder means that the whole is broken and sinking. After all, this is a ladder built by human flesh and blood for people to climb to the top. How many families have achieved generation after generation of glory because of the successful construction of such a ladder, and how many families have caused misfortune because of the fragility of one of the ladders. Such a human ladder has accumulated deep emotions and kinetic energy, and morality is also easy to be imprisoned in a narrow trapezoidal structure, which has become an obstacle for people to further cross to the peak, which has also caused a tragedy in the world. Because of such a ladder, it often becomes a topic that people in that era have been talking about for a long time when they gather narratives year after year. This kind of help is also easy to produce dependence and hurt the heart of help. Fortunately, in Wu Laomo's family, a strange landscape has been formed, in which the old and the big ones work hard, and the small ones study hard.

It was one day after dinner, Wu Liang took off the cotton clothes that didn't even have buttons on his clothes, and usually casually rooted in straw ropes or rags, and threw them on the kang casually, seven-year-old Wu Shuang tossed the third brother's cotton clothes and saw that they were sewn with patches, so he counted them curiously, and when he counted to a dozen, he saw that there were many, and then looked at the clothes he was wearing that were old but also neat, and suddenly realized something, put down the cotton clothes, and his eyelashes were hung with crystal tears. I think that my brothers who usually don't have enough food can always eat by themselves, and when they are good and bad, they can eat with their parents and her, and I understand that my brothers are worried about themselves. The emergence of this consciousness implanted a belief in Wu Shuang's young heart, understood the thoughts of his brothers, and produced valuable understanding. The vicissitudes of life inadvertently imprinted in the depths of Xiao Wushuang's soul, and added a touch of sorrow to the smiling face full of innocence, liveliness and immaturity, adding a point of solemnity that should not be due to that age. Wu Shuang's demeanor attracted Wu Wei's attention, he had been carefully caring for his little sister, and he asked what was wrong with his little sister. Wu Shuang was unwilling to let the little brother discover the changes in his mind, and he couldn't imagine that the more restrained he was, the more he couldn't help but burst into tears. Wu Wei took his little sister's hand distressedly and shook it, secretly wanting to protect his little sister well. Wu Shuang seemed to understand a lot at once, and a solemn look appeared on her little face that she shouldn't have at a young age. Experiencing the poverty of one's family at an early age means the loss of childlike fun. Wu Shuang has felt the care and preference of her family since she was a child, Gui Fang protects her, and every time Lao Wu comes back from the commune, she has to buy her alabaster and candy she likes to eat, and her brothers also love her very much, understanding her and afraid that she will be lonely. Wu Wei also paid attention to collecting some small stories to tell to his little sister, so as to cultivate and enrich his little sister's emotional world, and gradually attracted the children around him to listen to the stories.
