Bare baby
Liu Xiufan is my current neighbor, one year younger than me, and almost eighty. She is a native of Suihua, originally lived in the Lin family, and had a daughter who was very capable and bought her a house in the city.
Pulling up the common words, Xiufan told me that in the past, her mother was angry with her mother-in-law, and her grandmother and five aunts bullied her.
When her mother finished cooking, someone supported her to work. When I came back from work, the food was cold, and the dishes and chopsticks were piled on the table. Sometimes, when the rice is all eaten, there is only rice soup left. When I cooked too much, my grandmother was unwilling, saying that she didn't like to eat leftovers; There is less cooking, and my mother can't even eat leftovers.
Mom is good-looking, honest and capable. When she first got married, her grandmother and dad were kind to her. After she became pregnant, she had a minor illness, she couldn't eat it, she couldn't smell it, and several aunts picked her nose and eyes. If I had a son, it would have been better. Mom gave birth to a girl, and the family was annoyed with her.
Dad left after eating, I didn't know how to hurt Mom. The work of washing and washing at home is all mother's, the eldest sister is still breastfeeding, and every day someone says that my mother is not doing well, and that is not doing right.
After more than a year like this, my mother thought: These people are bullying me, when will I be able to get out?
Seeing my mother crying, the neighbors knew what was going on, and they all said: "Such a good person, he is blind in vain." ”
Mom really couldn't survive anymore, so she first threw the eldest sister to death in the pigsty and jumped into the well by herself.
When the man who drew water saw someone in the well, he cried out: "Help!" Save people! ”
A lot of people came, rescued my mother, and saved her. The eldest sister woke up, a big bag fell out of her head, and she was crying in the pigsty, and someone hugged her mother. My mother took the eldest sister, cried, and said, "You shouldn't save me, die early and enjoy happiness sooner." ”
After that, my mother was sick and had sores all over her body, and she had no money to treat them, so she could only hold on. Grandma died early, and my mother's family did not have any close relatives.
Seeing that my mother couldn't work anymore, my grandmother separated them. Mom was sick like that, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, the daughter is Xiufan, and the son is Xiufan's younger brother.
I don't know when my dad jumped up and was not at home every day. My mother was full of sores on her body and hands, and my eldest sister learned to cook at the age of six.
In the past, there were many people who had foreign diseases, and they all came to ask their father to dance the gods and treat foreign diseases. People dance gods and earn a lot of money, but Dad doesn't want money, he says that his god doesn't tell him to collect money, and if he collects money, it won't work. He earns food and drink outside, and he doesn't care about his wife and children.
Xiufan is six years old, his younger brother is four years old, and the sisters don't even have a cloth on them. When I slept in the dark, my mother, my sister and brother covered a straw curtain alone. She covered a puppy skin, and slept with her legs curled up all night and night, not daring to stretch her legs, and woke up with her legs straightened. Cover the dog skin in the dark, and tie it around the waist during the day.
The brazier in the northeast is made of mud, resting on the kang in winter, Xiufan stays in front of the brazier all day long, and when it is cold, he lies on the brazier to roast, and the chest in front of him is smoked yellow. When they go out to during the day, they have no shoes, they run out barefoot and come back barefoot, not daring to stay outside longer. Her brother saw the pig and dog pooping in the yard, so he quickly ran over and stepped on it with his little feet to warm up for a while.
My younger brother is young, he can't stand the cold, and his large intestine falls off as soon as he poops, and he has no money for treatment, and he has never taken medicine, and his large intestine is getting longer and longer. Later, it was bloody and fell more than two inches long, and he couldn't go up, and his six-year-old brother died.
I heard that my brother died, and my dad came home. It was dark, so my father wrapped my brother in straw and put it in the yard. Afraid that the dog in the family would harm his younger brother, Dad corraled the dog. Unexpectedly, the pig gnawed his brother's face.
When Xiufan was seven years old, his grandfather, grandmother, and mother all died. Dad is like a psychopath, or a big dancer, no matter at home, fortunately, there is an uncle to take care of the two sisters.
At the time of the land reform, the family was given a horse, a quilt, and an adult's old clothes. Xiufan stretched his two legs into the sleeves of his clothes, covered his right placket to the left, pulled his left placket to the right, and tied a rope around his waist. Xiufan said that this was the first time she had put on pants, and at the age of eight, she had cloth on her body for the first time.
The horse was sold, and the money from the sale of the horse was used by the uncle to pay the bride price to the aunt's family.
Criticizing the landlords in the tunzi, there will be meetings every day. Everyone went to see the excitement, and Xiufan also wanted to go, but he didn't dare to think about it. Wearing torn clothes as pants, bare-chested on the top and barefoot below, she is afraid of people's jokes.
After her aunt got married, Xiufan had her own clothes. In the summer, my uncle chose the cheapest white Huaqibu, bought it and boiled it with sorghum trees, and when it was finished, the white cloth turned into a sorghum rice soup color. My aunt used this cloth to make her pants and gowns. Although no one's clothes are good-looking, they are much better than the sacks she wears in the summer. In the past, she wore a sack around her waist in the summer, which could not be circled, covering the front and not the back. It was such a sack piece that she had tied around her waist for three summers.
It was getting cold, and my aunt bought it back to the Guanli people's home to weave a coarse white cloth, and dyed it with ash at the bottom of the pot. My aunt used this cloth to make her cotton jackets and pants, and also made her a pair of cotton shoes. That year, Xiufan was nine years old, and he wore cotton clothes for the first time, and it was also the first time he wore cotton shoes.
Later, my sister knew how to make shoes, so she learned to make shoes, and if she didn't do it well, it was better than being barefoot.
Xiufan doesn't hate his father at all. The family was poor, and one family sold their daughters to be child daughters-in-law, and when the daughters grew up, they married the stupid son of that family. There is also a big smoker who wants to sell a few more money and sell his girlfriend to a brothel. Dad didn't.
Xiufan is in good health now, but sometimes his legs hurt. One day when she went back to Lin's house, someone said: "That old lady seems to be a bare-chested baby." ”
