9. Chapter 9
Xiao Yin with the arrival of the child, so that the situation has quietly changed, Xiao Hai, who has been stubborn, saw the joy of the two lovely sons in front of the father and the father screaming, his expression eased a lot, coupled with the performance of his daughter-in-law Xiao Yin's generosity, he was quite surprised: he didn't expect his wife who has always been arrogant to have this attitude: for the sake of his son, he was willing to compromise and seek perfection, which he did not expect, coupled with the constant maneuvering of his parents and two sisters beside him, the situation began to take a sharp turn.
"Pan Xiaoyan, I'm not talking about you, you are really far worse than my family Xiaoyin, she is willing to do anything for the sake of the child and the family, what about you, for a wild man, the child and the family are all abandoned, a really vicious woman, Xiaohai really married you, but you have to fall into eight lifetimes of mold - I don't know how many green flashy hats you wear on him·····"
"That's it, if you want to marry Xiaohai, you also show some sincerity, my parents are here in person, what do you do, don't say a word like a donkey, it's too childish, you want to be me, plop down a head, and really show it, it's also your courage..."
The family took turns to fight, with guns and sticks, sneering and sneering, the woman sitting on the edge of the bed was ashamed, and her eyes were tearful for a while, and she couldn't wait to get into the cracks in the ground, Xiaohai saw it in her eyes and hurt in her heart, but she had no choice but to have the child in her arms, her wife by her side, and her parents and relatives were eyeing each other.
"Wang Xiaohai, you told Pan Xiaoyan, do you want us? Or do you want him? Xiao Yin forced the man to choose one of the two immediately,
"Xiao Yin, you are stupid, and asked, Xiao Hai really had an iron heart to leave with Pan Xiaoyan earlier, when he told us, he had already thought about it in his heart and made a choice, Pan Xiaoyan, are you right?"
The family is like a singing opera, the end of life is ugly, you say, I change the direction of what Wang Xiaohai said, he no longer insists in his mouth, but just looks at the woman in front of him with his eyes, with a reluctant expression.
Seeing that Xiaohai has changed dramatically, I was overjoyed and decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue it.
"Xiao Yin, you all go out with the children, I want to talk to Xiao Hai and them again," I commanded,
As soon as I saw that my wife and children were gone, Xiao Hai was busy and wanted to go to the woman, I grabbed his hand, "For you, I didn't even eat lunch, I was about to freeze to death, quickly cover my sister's hands•••••••••" pulled Xiao Hai to his side, Xiao Hai didn't refuse, a little twisted but still sat down next to me obediently.
"Pan Xiaoyan, do you know that Xiaohai is a hard-working child, and he was given to us by his biological parents 7 days after he was born..."
"Xiaohai, do you know that you were raised, do you know the truth of Lu Dao? Today in front of Pan Xiaoyan, I told you as it was, if you really choose to leave, I can't say anything·····"
My voice was slow, slowly revealing a past that had long been dusty.
One afternoon in the early spring of more than 30 years ago, in Datong County, Qinghai, our grandmother hurried home from work, and happened to meet her colleague Sister-in-law Xu, who was working together, and asked "Sister-in-law Xu, why didn't you go to work today?" Something at home? ”
"Don't mention it, it's a tricky matter, I don't know how to deal with it!"
"What's the matter, tell me about it?" Our grandmother looked curious,
"Alas, our neighbor just gave birth to a boy and asked me to help deal with it, you say, how can I deal with a good life" Sister-in-law Xu looked embarrassed.
It turned out that Xu's sister-in-law's neighbor was a coal miner, and he broke three ribs in an accident at work, and there was nothing wrong with the work-related injury, but the family had just given birth to a third child, and it was only five days——— in the early eighties, the plan was tight, and if there was no accident, he would be fined a few dollars at most, but now, the mine said "If you want to report a work injury, you have to deal with the child; If you want a child, you don't report a work-related injury, choose one of the two, and make your own decisions."
The man was injured and lying on the bed and couldn't move, a woman pulling three children, it really didn't matter, how could the old and young family live, after weighing it again and again, they finally made a difficult choice - talking about the newborn son, either give it away or dispose of it.
"Dispose of it, how to deal with it?" Sister-in-law Xu's words aroused her grandmother's curiosity,
"Alas! What do you say, no one wants it, I can only throw it up the mountain."
"It's a pity that the boy threw it away, why don't you give it to me?"
"Here you go, just kidding, you have five or six of your own" Sister-in-law Xu looked suspicious,
"No, my eldest son and daughter lack a boy, I want to hold him to raise" Grandma said honestly,
"Amitofu, thank God, this child can meet a good home" Sister-in-law Xu was overjoyed.
"That boy is you, just seven days after birth, I was picked up by my grandmother"
····· You are also a parent now, and you can understand the secret feelings of your biological parents at the beginning, not as a last resort, who is willing to give away your own flesh and blood····· If it weren't for us adopting you, according to the situation at the time, you should know your situation······"
"When you first got married, you didn't make it easy, you were looking for trouble all day long, and the whole family was uneasy, we thought you were doing it for your own life experience····· I have also secretly contacted your parents, your mother is alone at home with the children, and your sister-in-law, brother and father are all working outside the home····· I told them that you want to go back to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, but they didn't nod their heads - the situation in Sichuan is not very good, and it is not a small amount for you to go back, build a house, and marry a daughter-in-law····· In fact, at the beginning, the two families left each other's addresses, and in the blink of an eye for more than 30 years, they never thought of coming to you····· I once questioned your biological mother on the phone: After so many years, how can you give up your own flesh and blood····· She even told me: Since I gave up, I don't want to do it."
"Pan Xiaoyan, Xiaohai has been thrown away by his biological parents once when he was a child, can you bear to be abandoned again - I know my father's temper, if Xiaohai is really with you, he and this family will have to be broken off, and he will miss home and children in the future····· Do you think your life will be as peaceful as ever? It's not to scare you, you're all adults, where to go, think about it yourself, many times, there is no turning back when you start work·····"
Xiao Hai burst into tears when I said something from the bottom of my heart: For more than 30 years, this is the first time he has really heard about his life experience.
Sadness, Feelings, or ····· Perhaps only he knows best in his heart.
I held his warm palms tightly with a pair of cold hands - it was completely the strength of an adult man, generous and powerful, and it was the first time I touched a man other than my husband, which made me feel both familiar and strange: since I got married, I have been busy for my livelihood, and I have been gathering less and leaving more, and there seems to be an extra layer of separation between relatives, looking at the angular and slightly vicissitudes of life of the little brother in front of me, I have a lot of sourness in my heart: the happy times when I was a child together appeared in front of me, and in a blink of an eye, decades have passed, In the past, the younger brother who followed behind with a bare ass like a little tail has already become a husband and a father, and he has already had sideburns.
If it hadn't happened, perhaps I would have continued to hide it - knowing that the abandonment of Lu Dao by his own parents is a very cruel fact for anyone.
Now I say all this, not to save Xiaohai's heart and round a complete family for my young nephew, I don't want my nephew to live in a shadow since he was a child, like his father.
Time flies, time flies, many things have become unrecognizable, everything is indispensable, family, friendship and love, for what can not withstand the baptism of time.
My complaint touched them a lot: Xiaohai's eyes were red, big tears slipped down his cheeks silently, Pan Xiaoyan kept wiping it with her hands, I couldn't help it anymore, hugged my little brother and cried.
My crying seemed to evoke Xiaohai's long memory, and he couldn't help but whimper, and seemed to return to the past in a trance: the familiar courtyard, the younger brother was bullied by the neighbor's brother and ran home crying, eight or nine years old, I didn't even want to rush out of the door, hugged the eldest brother's arm and bit it hard, while biting, he said hatefully: It's okay to bully me, but you can't bully my younger brother.
Since I was a child, I have known that my younger brother was raised, a poor child who was not wanted by his parents, and I was his sister and I would definitely protect him.
In the blink of an eye, we have all grown up, and everything has changed, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the relationship between relatives, for Xiaohai, my parents and family and I are still as caring and loving as ever.
But how did Xiaohai become the virtuous character he is now.
I screamed silently from the bottom of my heart
