Chapter 99: The Past (Part 2)
As the night deepened, Wu Tianlin's grandfather and uncles left Wu Tianlin's house at half past nine in the evening, but Wu Tianlin's grandmother really stayed, Wu Tianlin personally sent his grandmother upstairs to the room where he used to live, and said to his grandmother with a smile: "Grandma! This room is the room where I sleep when I work, just now Yuxuan has changed everything on the bed to a new one, and the things in the bathroom are ready, you are tired of the day, hurry up and go wash and rest early! ”
The old lady looked at Wu Tianlin with a kind face, and said to him in a kind tone: "Tianlin! Grandma still has something to talk to you about, I wonder if you have time now? ”
Wu Tianlin knew that his grandmother was obviously going to talk to him about his mother, as soon as he closed his eyes last night, his mother's desperate expression immediately appeared in front of his eyes, which made him doubt the process he knew, so although he had learned something from Liu Susu yesterday, but what he knew was not very clear, so he also very much wanted to know what happened twenty-three years ago, seeing his grandmother's expectant eyes, Wu Tianlin nodded and replied: "Grandma!" I'm used to going to bed late, but I'm afraid it will affect your rest, so of course I'll accompany you if you're really interested in chatting again. ”
When the old lady heard Wu Tianlin's words, she smiled and turned her head and said, "Then let's go to the room and talk to Grandma Gen!" Grandma believes that you must also want to know why your father and your mother left you in Fujian Province back then! ”
The old lady sat down on the edge of the bed in the room with Wu Tianlin, she looked at her grandson who had been missing in front of her for more than 20 years, and then slowly spoke: "This is said to recall more than 30 years ago, when your grandfather and your grandfather were brothers in life and death who had a lifelong friendship, your grandfather was the commander of the military region, and your grandfather was the political commissar of the military region. Inseparable, after a long time, there was a relationship between the two, and later because of *, your grandfather and your grandfather were beaten as rightists, and your father was sent to Fujian Province at that time, and your mother also followed your father to Fujian Province, the two of them were married privately when they were in line, and at that time there was you, but in the year you were born, educated youth began to return to their hometowns, and your father and your mother because of the elders, if you want to go back to Beiping, you must leave you, and hide the fact of marriage, So after the two discussed at that time, they fostered you in a local farmer's home, and planned to find a way to bring you back after returning to Beiping. ”
When the old lady said this, she seemed to be very concerned about looking back on the past, her face was full of pain and helplessness, she sighed lightly, and then said: "In that era, the affairs of men and women have always been very strict, and your grandfather and your grandfather were still imprisoned when you were born, so your mother and your father did not complete the marriage relationship between the two as smoothly as expected after returning to Beiping, and as a result, this matter dragged on for half a year, and it was precisely this half a year. Let your mother and your father lose you for twenty-three years. ”
"That era was a dark red age for us in China, the whole country set off a frenzy of criticism of the "bourgeois reactionary line", the spearhead was directed at the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries, the Red Guards protruded, and carried out a "big series" throughout the country, they brought the will of the central government to all places, led to the ** everywhere, paralyzed the local party organizations, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, but also caused the largest famine in the history of our country, and the peasant who fostered you also had a meal at home, In order not to starve you, they sent you to the orphanage in the county, hoping that you would have a chance to survive, but in that era, where was there still life, even in the orphanage, there were many children who died of disease or starvation because of lack of food, so the orphanage gave some children to some people who had no children but had the ability to raise children, and you were also one of those children, just a month after you were adopted, your mother and your father finally completed the relevant procedures, At that time, your mother immediately rushed to Fujian Province as soon as possible, she first found the farmer's home to foster you, but who knew that you had been sent to the orphanage at that time, so your mother rushed to the county orphanage non-stop, but she got a thunderbolt news, that is, from which time, she completely lost you, over the years she almost turned over Fujian Province in order to find you, but never found you, also because of your disappearance, after coming back she had a big fight with your father, As a result, that quarrel not only separated her from your father, but also made your grandfather and your grandfather enemies, and your mother left Beiping to return to her hometown in Huhai because of my scolding with your grandfather. ”
Wu Tianlin listened carefully to the past told by his grandmother, and only then did he really understand his past, understand why he became an orphan in the first place, everything is because of history in the end, to be precise, he is the victim of that history.
Wu Tianlin finally understood why his mother had depression, at this time he no longer had the same hatred for his parents as before, and even he wanted to rush to the hospital immediately to see his mother who was lying on the hospital bed, and tell her that he already knew everything in the past, and he had understood that they did not deliberately abandon him at the beginning, he looked at his grandmother sitting next to him with a face full of regret, and said with mixed feelings: "Grandma! Thank you for telling me this, since I was sensible, I was very eager to find my parents, at that time I was studying in the school under the mountain, and I saw that my classmates had parents, but I only had a master, I was really very envious of them, and at the same time secretly told myself in my heart that I must find my parents no matter what, even if I went to a foreign country, this idea has never been interrupted, I came back from Sweden a few months ago, and when I returned to Fujian Province, the master was no longer there, and I was left with only a letter about my life experience, Maybe it was because the farmer was afraid that the orphanage would not accept me when he sent me to the orphanage, and the master also thought that my parents deliberately abandoned me because they were afraid of losing their place to return, and if you hadn't told me these past events, I believe I would never have forgiven them in my life, but now that I think about it, I find that my hatred is so ridiculous. ”
The old lady looked at her grandson kindly, the wrinkles on her forehead gradually relaxed, and said to Wu Tianlin with a smile: "Tianlin! There are not many parents in this world who are willing to give up their sons, even those parents who abandon their children, because of those reasons that others can't understand, the moment they are forced to let go of their sons, I believe their hearts are not good, when your mother returned to Beiping, because she was afraid that I would know that they would foster you in a peasant home, so she has been hiding from us to death, and at that time I couldn't be distracted at all for your grandfather's affairs, Although I often see your mother hiding aside and crying for no reason, I mistakenly thought that she was worried about your grandfather, but I didn't expect that by the time I knew the real reason, the bitter fruit had already been caused, and your mother had been guilty for her actions for more than 20 years over the years, and if she was really guilty, the psychological torture she had endured in the past 20 years was enough to offset everything. ”
