52 Under the third daughter, the two elders complained about the sad middle-aged, and the two elders hurt their flesh and blood alone
(Due to the excessive number of words in this chapter, it has been updated twice, and the following is the first half of "52 Below".) )
This Ma Xingbang, although he has fallen into the quagmire, has washed away the heavy weight and is refreshed, in order to have a happy Mid-Autumn Festival with his family. Who would have thought that the more desperately he threw off something, the easier it would be for someone to carry it and put it in front of his eyes. How do mediocre people know: those who are poor and weak should be the original intention; Those who have achieved success must look at their ends.
Ma Guiying of this turned around in housework and was exhausted. In the confrontation between her father and her eldest brother, she always stood on the side of her eldest brother, and she always stood on the grievances of the past, and she was blinded by the past, so that she was blinded by the present. No fault is merit, and no complaint is also virtue. As the saying goes: the evil of attacking people is not too strict, and it is acceptable to think about it. As for the old family grievances, Hong Yingming, a native of the Ming Dynasty, gave a reference in his "Caigen Tan": family members have had it, it is not appropriate to be angry, and it is not appropriate to abandon it. This matter is difficult to say, and it is ironic to use other things; If you don't understand it today, you will be warned again in the future. If the spring breeze thaws, if the air is peaceful and the ice is removed, it is the model of the family.
This old horse is worried, he was manipulated by his past self and his demons, and he lost both sides again in the absolutely dominant father-son relationship. The old horse in the middle of the night fell into self-denial, and self-denial is undoubtedly cruel to an old man. If you are cautious, you will have no success, and regret will be reduced.
Crying and laughing, noisy and noisy, there are co-ordinating, resentment and gratitude, sweet and sour, sour and salty, stewed together is the taste of life. Ordinary people should not be stubborn, and stubborn people are destined to be extraordinary. Perfect. Humility, forbearance, integrity, courage, kindness, forgiveness...... Virtue is a virtue because it is beautiful and extremely rare.
There is no such thing as a perfect life. Most of Rao's lives have the same or similar experiences—more or less confusion, big or small disputes, long or short wounds, passions with or without passions, thick or thin dreams, deep or shallow frustrations, high or low debts, fast or slow happiness, sinking or floating in the first half of life, sad or happy in the second half...... Who created the life of joy and sorrow? Who set the rules for birth, old age, sickness and death? And who breaks the stereotypes and lives out of the thick world?
"Am I your best friend?"
"Huh?"
"Am I your best friend? If not, then I don't consider you my best, first, or best friend! So, am I your best friend? At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhou Zhou sat on the ground and asked Yangyang.
"Yes! But...... Miao Miao is also my best ...... That friend! Yang Yang scratched her head and remembered her best friend in the kindergarten - Miao Miao.
"No! My mom has only one of the best! Me and ...... Miaomiao, who is good? Zhou Zhou sat up straight and asked angrily.
"I don't know......" Confused, Xian'er was confused.
"How could you not know! How good I am to you! I'll give you my best toys to play with! If...... I'm not your best friend, so I'm not going to let you play! Zhou Zhou held the new toy condescendingly, coercing and seducing.
"Alright then, you're my best friend." Yang Yang's round eyes finished softly, and he raised his chin a few times in a daze, and then interlocked his fingers.
"Hmmm! Here you go! Zhou Zhou then triumphantly handed the new toy to Yangyang.
"Hee-hee-hee-......" Yangyang took the toy with both hands, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and played happily in the living room.
At the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival, He Zhiyuan did not go to work and rested at home. After breakfast, Ma Guiying, who was still in a bad mood, packed up and went out, first buying a birthday gift for Hyosung, and then finding a party with the two sisters. Lao Ma sat on the balcony in a daze, Zai Zai was rushing to do his homework, and Zhiyuan sat on the sofa and watched the two children play.
"Hey Ying'er! Here. "At one o'clock in the afternoon, the three sisters met in a restaurant.
Gui Ying came in with a large bag and bypassed the guests.
"Why do you carry so much!" Xiaotang stepped forward to pick up something.
"Come to Xing'er, my birthday present for you - it's very mysterious!" Gye-young handed a bag to Hyosung.
"What? It's also mysterious! Xiaotang stepped forward to take a look, and let out a long exhalation.
"What a good thing I am! It turned out to be panties! Bao Xiaotang rolled his eyes.
"Dear, I've been picking for a long time, but I really don't know what to buy, anyway, I'm short of underwear, so I bought a box for those few in my family one by one, and I bought it for your sister by the way!" Gui Ying smirked while wiping her sweat and panting.
"Oops! Ying'er, you're so funny! Bao Xiaoxing couldn't cry or laugh.
"Take your time! The quality of this brand is very good and comfortable, and this thing can't be broken anyway! I bought fifty pairs of underwear in one go—cow or not? After Gui Ying, the three of them pitched and laughed.
"Actually, if Mei Mei and Tang'er hadn't remembered, I really forgot my birthday! Meimei bought me lipstick and slippers, Tang'er bought clothes and cosmetics, and you bought underwear...... I don't have to buy anything with you here! Bao Xiaoxing was moved and emotional.
"I often forget my birthdays now! The main thing is that our birthday is the lunar calendar, and the life is the solar calendar - who converts this! I remember the other birthdays at home - how dare I forget! This is not a National Day and a 70th birthday, and it has to be done! Gui Ying shook her head helplessly.
"I'm in for a treat today, you two can order food and eat as much as you want!" Xiaotang handed over the broadcast, and after Gui Ying and Hyosung finished ordering, they chatted and waited.
"How's Mei Mei - college life?" Gui Young asked Hyosung.
"She just finished military training, and now she starts classes, and it's not too much!" Bao Xiaotang, who has been keeping in touch with his niece, interjected.
"To be honest, I've been busy lately, and I haven't talked to her much." Hyosung held his chin and smiled with a sense of loss.
"How's your two jobs?" Gui Ying cares
"Busy! Tired! That's fine, pay off the account quickly, and feel relaxed! Hyosung looked down at the cup of tea.
"What have you been up to lately?" Gui Ying led the topic to Xiaotang.
"Self-exam! Exams in October, it's almost coming. Recently, I watched the course review. ”
"That's great! You can also have the motivation to learn! That's nice! Gui Ying praised and was full of envy.
"I can't help it! Now that I am thirty-two years old, I will never have this opportunity again if I don't seize this opportunity this year! So, I applied for four doors this time, hoping to pass. Get your certificate early after the exam early. ”
"It's good to be alone, like the two of us, how can we be in the mood to turn the book again!" Bao Xiaoxing stared at Gui Ying and smiled slowly.
Gui Ying obediently asked, "What's the matter?" What's going on lately? Isn't it the two of you - it's open, Zhong Li is making trouble again? ”
"No, no! Don't mention it, don't mention it! Bao Xiaoxing's eyelids were slightly closed, and he refused to talk.
"My brother-in-law went to work before the Mid-Autumn Festival? Really? Xiaotang asked Gui Ying curiously.
"Hey! Do the logistics in the big supermarket across the street from us! Hehe......" Gui Ying laughed in one breath, and then refused to talk.
After the dishes are served, the three of them open their chopsticks to eat.
"How's your relationship? Did you mention getting married? Let me see when you bring it! Gui Ying asked Xiaotang with a smile.
"Oh, it's only a few days before we get married! Wait! Don't rush, my sister urges you too! Xiaotang was excited and disgusted, and when he mentioned marriage, he refused to talk about it.
"Look at our three sons' marriage! One can't get the knot, one is too tired, and the other can't get out! Haha......" Bao Xiaoxing finished, swept Guiying and the girl, and smiled sourly.
"When I first came to Shenzhen, I was squeezing and squeezing to find a man, but now I have found it and ......," Gui Ying chuckled as she chewed slowly.
After a while, Gui Ying complained: "Doing housework has driven me crazy lately - not an exaggeration!" I feel more tired doing housework than doing farm work in the village! You've finished cooking a meal and you've had countless meals, you've washed a bowl and you've had countless dishes, you've dragged it out and you've been dragging it out for a while...... There really is no end! No matter how delicious you cook tonight, people will forget about it immediately after the meal, even forgetting yourself! What's the point? How clean and satisfied you cleaned the room this time, and it was back to the same state the next morning! Why bother? I can't figure out how those full-time housewives could accept this with a smile! Gui Ying squirted out spit excitedly.
After Bao Xiaoxing drank the soup and listened, he smiled and said slowly: "This is life!" Life doesn't need or care how you express it subjectively, you have to accept it objectively! Oh, didn't you buy a dishwasher? ”
"Can a dishwasher wash a pot? Can I wash the board? Can you wash rags? Can you wash the vegetable basket? It can't help me wipe the table, clean the tea trays, fruit bowls, and kettles! Reverse housework, miserable me! After Gui Ying, the three of them chuckled for a long time.
After a while, Gui Ying complained again: "There is still an old man in your family who is willing to help you, what about my family?" There are many chores in a large number of people, just washing clothes, five people wash twice, and the washing machine is full back! Unfortunately, I am now facing a big hurdle in my work, my lord - internal and external troubles! You two can't even imagine what kind of life I've been having! ”
"Who isn't? I went from the clothing store to Malatang in the afternoon, and it seemed that I had time, but I went to pick up the children from school, sent them back to the farm, and went back and forth...... I haven't had time for dinner several times! I've recently lost eight pounds of meat, and you two think I'm only weighing in total. Hyosung looked gloomy.
"I've only been studying online for two months, and I obviously don't think my eyes are enough! Dry, itchy, unable to see clearly, and afraid of light at night, I think I need glasses! A woman is in her thirties, is her body really so bad? Xiaotang stared and squeezed.
"Isn't that right? Twenty-eight nine has already begun to go downhill! Many working women or women with high pressure start ovarian degeneration at the age of 30! Gui Ying responded.
"I'm thirty-two! Hum! Marriage has become a delusion, and you are afraid of ovarian degeneration! Bao Xiaotang lowered his head and teased himself.
"Don't worry, what's the hurry? Are you in a hurry to get married and live a life like this? Look at your sister's extreme thinness, and then look at my obesity, your sister doesn't have time to eat lunch, and I can't control my coffee in the office! What else does the Internet talk about husband and wife life a few times a month - what a fart! Being able to fall asleep at night without losing sleep is already the highest requirement for my life as a couple! Gui Ying grabbed Xiaotang's wrist tightly and comforted her.
"Every stage has its own good and bad, and you should fully enjoy your stage of goodness! Have a good relationship and enjoy the life of one or two Rao! Hyosung raised his eyes and comforted the girl.
After a few minutes of silence, Xiaotang asked Gui Ying, "Sister Yingying, what's wrong with your eyes?" At first sight, I see that your eyes are a little red and swollen! ”
"Hey, that's a thing at home!" Gui Ying sighed and shook her head and took a sip of tea.
"Your eldest brother is gone, right? When I see your brother this time, I think he's a little old! After a pause, Hyosung ate while eating.
"Yes, I left last night. Yesterday the two of them quarreled, and I quarreled with the old man again - annoying! ”
"Are you crying for this?" Xiaotang asked.
"Hey! I had insomnia until two or three o'clock last night, and I thought about a lot of things in the past, and I couldn't figure it out. Gui Ying stirred the rice in the bowl, and suddenly her eyes were full of tears.
Hyosung Xiaotang saw her like this, and had no words.
"There was one thing that was very memorable. Thirty years ago, my mother steamed a big pot of steamed buns, but my eldest (father, referring to the old horse) was not satisfied, so he poured a large basket of five grates of steamed buns on the ground and stepped on them with his feet! Step on them one by one! I was frightened, my mother-in-law was crying and squatting on the ground to pick up buns, my mother didn't cry, she wasn't angry or frightened, the expression on her face was very complicated, I couldn't read it, and I still don't know what it was......"
Gui Ying swallowed her breath, and continued: "Tang'er, you may not know when you are old, steamed steamed buns in the village are very complicated!" At eleven or twelve o'clock in the morning, the amount of food for the three men and three women in our family was one top and one land, one and dozens of catties of noodles, and my mother and noodles had to be at least one and a half hours, and half of the body was sweating after the noodles were finished in the winter - that was a very heavy work. At about twelve o'clock, she began to knead dough and knead steamed buns with my mother-in-law, which took more than a while. Then the raw buns are dried and fermented in the sun, which also takes more than a time. Then start steaming, bring a big firewood, burn the bellows hard, and when the fire burns one by one, the five grate buns are cooked! After steaming, you still have to cook, which is a busy job...... At that time, steaming steamed buns in the village was a big job for women. ”
Gui Ying looked at Xiaotang, paused, and then lowered her head and stared at the teacup: "After I trampled on the hot buns of the five grates, my mother continued to work!" Go for something else! There was no expression on his face, as if the whole incident had not happened. This incident, my mother's expression and reaction, has been hidden in my heart for decades. I've thought of her expression almost once or twice a year for decades. Gye-young finished herself, and when she looked up again, her face was full of tears, and Hyosung pulled out a piece of paper to wipe her tears.
"Uncle Ma...... Why did he step on it? "Xiaotang doesn't understand.
"Humph! He thinks my mother's steamed buns are no better! Too hard, bad taste, bad shape...... That's it! ”
After a pause, Gui Ying added: "I'm actually very worried about my eldest brother, his personality is a bit similar to my mother in some places." ”
Bao Xiaoxing took out another piece of paper and handed it to Gui Ying, comforting: "Think about the child!" Our efforts are not in vain, the good food you cook is forgotten by the child, but it grows in the body. The money we earn now can allow children to live a worry-free life and get into a good school for education. Ying'er, don't be so pessimistic and heavy. ”
Bao Xiaoxing comforted Gui Ying with a way of comforting himself.
"Yes, your child is big, and I hope to come early! My family is only four years old, and sometimes I forget to flush the toilet when I! Almost every three meals there is a meal dripping from the clothes! Recently, I had dinner with his father, and I ate oil and noodles, and the four-year-old baby smelled of garlic in his mouth! The amount of food is also bigger, and the belly is bigger! I'm afraid she'll be like me right now! My baby used to be a beautiful Western girl who only ate toast, egg tarts and cakes! Gui Ying finished, and the three women laughed heartily.
"Tsai Tsai is going to take the college entrance examination next year, I don't know what school I can get into, maybe I can be in the same place with Meimei!" Bao Xiaoxing looks forward to the future of the next generation.
"Not necessarily, people still want to go to Beijing! Ambitious, haha...... His dad seems to be eyeing several 985 colleges and universities in Beijing! Gui Yingwan, his eyes releasing a shining light.
"Hey! You all have kids! Hehe......" Bao Xiaotang drank passion fruit juice, smiling sweetly, but crying.
"Alright, alright! Do the three of us have to cry every once in a while? Am I better than you? Could it be that I also cried and cried and talked about being beaten after studying, Zhong Li drinking, and I was embarrassed in the Malatang shop? After Bao Xiaoxing finished this, his bright and smiling eyes also welled up with tears.
"Marriage, family, children, work...... When I was as old as Tsai and Mei Mei, my heart was down-down! It's so hard to just support a family now! Is it the heart or the incompetence of the person? Is it because you have grown up and become cautious, or is reality forcing people to be cowardly and weak? Gui Ying finished, hugging his chest and smiling bitterly.
"Working family, family work, we can't plant these two plots of land in a lifetime! He also came out to hoe and water the ground with a big sun! Why can't you jump out? Are those who are successful, happy, rich, and transcendent have the courage to jump out? Hyosung asked the two sisters.
Silent. The three middle-aged women were silent.
"It seems that if I don't invite you to drink today, I'm sorry for myself! Head to the Fox House Bar right after dinner – don't wait! Gui Ying slapped the table and broke the silence.
When Hyosung heard this, he also slapped the table and shouted, "Let's go!" If you don't get drunk today, you won't come back! ”
"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home—you're not dirty!" Xiaotang lifted her sister's shoulder, and then fell her head on her sister's shoulder.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yangyang was asleep when her grandmother's video call came. He Zhiyuan chatted with his mother for a while, and then woke up Yangyang, and the three of them chatted happily for a while. The old man lying on the rocking chair on this side has been sullen since he left.
Gui Ying is right, he always likes to manipulate. After coming to Shenzhen, when Lao Ma found out that this grandson was also a useful material for his children to teach, he had planned for them many times in his heart. He thinks that Tsai Tsai can become a doctor or an engineer in technology in the future; Yangyang is so cute, she studied history or literature, then went from undergraduate to doctorate, and finally entered school as a teacher. Teachers are respected, and doctors or engineers are respected. It's a pity that they are still young, and it is not yet time for him to speak and guide.
Lao Ma can't help but have a plan for the person he loves, a perfect plan, a strong plan - once a child, now a grandchild. He wants his children to live and work hard according to the trajectory he sets or his wishes, and he thinks that his settings or wishes are superior, superior, and elite, but unfortunately, everyone has their own aspirations. The more he pulled Xingbang down his way, the farther Xingbang bounced, the faster and more violently.
At that time, Ma Xingbang was a first-class good child among his peers. Thick eyebrows and big eyes, like an old student on the stage, look at the crowd and never forget. When he was four or five years old, he could speak, and his mouth was sweet and skillful; When I was seven or eight years old, I had a pattern of talking and doing things, and I knew how to be humble and take care of my younger siblings at home, and I was safe and sharp to do something for adults and help them; When he was a teenager in school, his academic performance was always at the top of his class, and his teachers praised him as a good student and a good seedling...... Along the way, at home, in the village, and at school, it is rare to find a better child than him.
Compared with the eldest horse, the second horse is prosperous, and it is a world of difference. Extremely bold and wooden, Lao Ma gave up on him as early as when he was four or five years old, thinking that he could plant the land well and it was already a creation. The third Ma Guiying is a wild man, she has been used to being spoiled by a lot of people, she is bold, crazy, reckless, and has no words and deeds.
That's right, the old horse likes to manipulate and control, especially for the boss, the second is hopeless, and the third is purely accidental - his perfect plan missed. From beginning to end, among the three children, he was the most important and favorite of the eldest. Xingbang is kind-hearted, filial piety and loyalty, intelligent, well-spoken, steady, and a good material for becoming an official, and Lao Ma has high hopes for him. But over the years, he has disappointed himself again and again, and he has disappointed him again and again.
Xingbang has changed over the years, inside and out. He is old and decrepit, he is no longer good, not so smart, and not able to speak. He used to make jokes, and easily amused the neighbors, but now he was always silent, silent without saying a word.
It turns out that people still have this kind of change that they once could understand and then become dull and silent - the change of Xingbang jumped out of the grid of the old horse.
