Chapter 002: My sister is sent away
Sister-in-law Wang does have too many children, and usually adults have to go to the brigade to work to earn work, and they don't have time to bathe and wash their children's clothes. The child runs and plays every day, smells sweaty, and his whole body is dirty like a flower child, and after a long time, it will be full of lice. The main reason is that there is no change of clothes, it is okay in winter, but it can't stand it in summer, and sister-in-law Wang can only sleep with her husband Zheng Dongye on the mat where the grain is dried.
"Big brother, I'm sorry, I know you're also for the good of this family. You see this kid has clear eyebrows, a small face and a round face, and he must be very smart when he grows up. We only have three children in two households combined, so we must be able to afford it! Father Zheng hoped to get their understanding, but these words inadvertently stimulated the uncle, the children born of the deaf are all smart, how can his genetics be so poor.
"The work we have earned over the years has been subsidized by the family, after the separation, what do you eat, I only have a younger brother like you, will I harm you?" The uncle thought that he was so honest, he shouldn't have intentionally stimulated him, so he continued to analyze.
"Big deal, I eat a few bites less at every meal, the child is born, we can't ignore it, big brother, please!" Zheng's father really likes children, and the girl is also very good, and the family has a daughter who asks for it.
"I don't say either!" The sister-in-law walked into the house, crossed her hands on her waist, and said loudly. She heard the conversation just now clearly, and she couldn't wait to throw the child into the toilet immediately, what is the use of a girl no matter how smart she is, "If it's a boy, I'll consider staying, but it's a girl, and I can't stay." You know how hard and dangerous it is to build roads. From morning to night, I don't eat well, I don't sleep well, and the water I drink is yellow mud soup. If it weren't for earning a job, who would want to do such hard work. In the brigade, you can occasionally be lazy, and in the third line, militarized management is comparable to building the Great Wall in ancient times, and you are so thin that you don't dare to get sick with your chest and back. ”
What she said was the truth, although the third line could earn work points, but the days were hard, they did not have any conflicts with the captain, and each person could still count ten points of work every day. Her two younger brothers, one nineteen and the other sixteen, were at odds with the captain, and each was only given five cents a day. Even so, for the sake of the family's rations, he gritted his teeth and insisted on working until now. When they were young, they did the heavy work of carrying stones, and they were so tired that their bodies fell apart every day, their shoulders were full of scars, and their feet were full of pustules. In the place of Xiangyin, the sky deceives, people deceive, and they are all angry when they think about it.
"Sister-in-law, then, let's split up." Zheng's father said weakly that he was a little afraid of them, but for the sake of the child, he still had to fight for it.
"Now we are building roads on the third line and dividing the family, who will take care of Shengnan, and who will provide you with your food stamps and money. Why don't you understand our suffering, you should think about it carefully. "It's not impossible to split up, it's just that the uncle can't bear to let them live a more miserable life.
"I'm happy to split up, and when the time comes, the child will starve to death, don't blame us for being ruthless. The third line will be completed in another year, and Katsuo will just put it back at my mother's house. The sister-in-law pointed at Zheng's father and said, and he immediately softened. Thinking about it, it is true that the eldest brother and sister-in-law have paid more over the years, and they are a family of four, and it is impossible to support him by relying on him alone to earn work in the brigade.
In the next few days, a dark cloud hung over the house, and seeing that the holiday was coming to an end, the uncle and sister-in-law were particularly anxious. At the dinner table, there were only some clear soup and little water meals, and the sister-in-law looked at Qin's mother holding the child who had finally fallen asleep and smiled happily. How much can she feel in this world, saying that she has no love and hatred, but she cares for her children incomparably.
"Da Kuan, you have seen it yourself these days, if you go up to work in the mountains and leave your brother and daughter-in-law at home to take care of the baby, can you rest assured, when we left, Shengyang could already talk and walk. Before this, I helped take care of the child, and she couldn't hear it, so how could she know the baby's needs. "Sister-in-law persuaded. Zheng's father was sad and panicked, and he really couldn't bear to give his child away.
"Brother and sister-in-law, it's okay not to separate the family, I'll take care of them, Shengnan will be sent to study when school starts, and there are only two children left in the family, so it should be no problem." Zheng's father was reluctant to give up this daughter.
"Shengnan can't even speak clearly, how to study, wait for Shengyang to reach the age of studying, and then go to study together, and greet home together after school, otherwise I won't worry." When the uncle said this, Zheng's father was even more of a mess in his head, and he couldn't do it left or right, so there was only one way to throw the child.
"Okay, if you want to stay, keep it." The sister-in-law pretended not to be reluctant, and the uncle immediately retorted, she gave him a look, and then she didn't say anything. Father Zheng was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly thanked her for being reasonable.
After the meal, the uncle pulled the eldest lady into the house and asked her what she meant, and she whispered a few words in her ear. Uncle thought about it, and he could only do this, all for the good of the whole family. Zheng's father was very happy in his heart, and compared with Qin's mother, meaning that he agreed to raise this child. Qin Mule's tears fell, she knew that her sister-in-law didn't like girls, but she liked it, it was her flesh and blood.
At night, the sister-in-law told Zheng's father that they were going back to the third line and wanted to take their niece to sleep for one night, but Zheng's father didn't expect them to change so much. But Qin's mother resolutely disagreed, and Zheng's father gestured and said, just one night, it's okay, let her rest assured. Qin's mother reluctantly handed over the child to her sister-in-law.
When he got up the next day, Zheng's father found that his eldest brother, sister-in-law and children were gone, so he chased after him until he met an acquaintance on the road waiting to talk to him. said that they took the child out to give it away, and the man saw that the situation of his family was really bad, so he persuaded him not to be too sad by the way. The family background is not good, and there are many people who don't want girls, so they want to open.
Aunt Sun and Uncle Zheng first walked to Tangba, then took a car to Tianshan Station, and quietly put the child at the door of a household that looked like a good family. The couple couldn't write, so they couldn't tell the child about his birthday, thinking that if the child could eat enough, he would be lucky to survive. Then after running for a while, Aunt Sun was relieved to see someone coming out to pick up the child, and then walked to the next place, waiting for another car to go to the third line.
Father Zheng returned home in despair, told Qin's mother what happened, and hated his powerlessness. She let out a long scream, burst into tears, grabbed her hair, and slammed her head. Father Zheng asked Shengyang to hold her legs, and looking at Shengyang, she cried and hugged him, wondering why.
From then on, Qin's mother often chattered her daughter's name, she gave her daughter the name of "Hua'er", and her temper became more and more irritable. He also often has nightmares at night and wakes up looking for his children everywhere.
Zheng's father felt that life was already hard, working during the day and not sleeping well at night, so he slept in separate beds to avoid conceiving a child again. Shengyang and Shengnan slept in the same bed, and the brothers often wet the bed, so they arranged for Qin's mother to wash diapers, beat pigweed, push mills, carry water, and get firewood every day.
Qin's mother was doing heavy housework, and she was so tired that her back and legs hurt, but the two children were always in front of her, and she was comforted a lot. Katsuo led Shengyang wherever he went, for fear that he would fall or bump into him. There is only one younger brother in the family who plays with him, and the other children in the courtyard always dislike him as a fool. It's hard to have a little sister.,It turned out to disappear for no reason.,Supposedly,The little sister is gone, he should be happy.,So as not to let him carry it again.。 But there was no crying or laughter at home, and I didn't like the atmosphere.
