Xiao Yezi is the only child in the 8 years that his parents have been married. Since childhood, he has been held in the palm of his parents. Xiao Yezi's mother was an educated youth in the countryside, who responded to the party's call to take root in the countryside and married a local father. At that time, everyone regarded the local farmers as (sitting on the ground), because of her mother's choice, her grandmother's family cut off the relationship with her, not only because her father was a sitting gun, but more importantly, my father's father at that time was Xiao Yezi's grandfather, and there was also a problem with the ingredients. And this choice also made Xiao Yezi's mother no longer have any hope of returning to the city.

It wasn't until it was very big that Xiao Yezi became white, it turned out that the mother at that time, on the one hand, was angry with the family, and on the other hand, it was also because of the good news that the former childhood sweetheart came from the city. Xiao Yezi's mother is the eldest of the girls in her grandmother's family, and she is the third among the children, but according to the rules of satisfaction, not to mention the preference for sons, the eldest daughter must also have the responsibility of the eldest daughter. The mother was born because the children faced the difficulty of not being able to support them, and it happened that her aunt's daughter joined the army and ran away from home without permission, so Xiao Yezi's mother passed on to her aunt from birth. This aunt is an old lady with a height of less than 1.5 meters and small feet, and her mental state is sometimes good and bad, and when she is good, she can cut her silk jacket to make clothes for her mother, and when it is bad, her mother is always chased and beaten all over the yard with braids. Although they all live in the same yard, grandma never pays attention to any actions of her aunt, and only when the uncle and aunt at home want something, she smiles perfunctorily to her mother. I really don't know if the so-called biological birth is true. In this way, my mother survived until she was 18 years old, thinking that she would be able to support herself after graduating from high school, but she didn't expect to replace her uncle under the arrangement of her grandfather and go to the countryside to the Great Northern Wilderness. And the school has always been among the best, the famous talented girl in the school, in addition to having a nickname called Fat Ya, and the other is a childhood sweetheart with the president of the student union at that time. This joke was mentioned until decades later, when my mother got together with her old classmates and comrades-in-arms. However, in the second year of her mother's trip to the countryside, the so-called childhood sweetheart became a passing thing. At that time, my mother was a pacesetter in the company, and she was working hard to prepare for the college entrance examination that had just resumed, thinking that she might be able to return to the city after passing the college entrance examination and continue her edge. The sudden blow made her lose confidence in love, and she had a negative attitude towards her family and life.

At that time, Xiao Yezi's father drove a tractor in the wing, and the young man had big eyes and thick eyebrows, in addition to his skin being a little dark, he was indeed a well-known business pacesetter. When the farm is not working, he also likes to play the flute and pull the huqin. This was also a kind of romance for rural children at that time. Everyone knows that this young man is very shy, except for work, he doesn't say much, and they also know that he has not yet married a daughter-in-law because of his father's composition. Every time someone talks about it, they sigh and feel sorry, but no one is willing to marry their daughter to the so-called capitalist roaders.

Dr. Hao is a warm person who is familiar with his mother. After knowing his mother's experience, he began to arrange for this fat girl from the city (who was already skinny at that time) to come into contact with this shy young man, intentionally or unintentionally. Later, it was also through her efforts that Xiao Yezi's mother married her father. Of course, there are also small leaves.

And the birth of Xiao Yezi was also saved by this Dr. Hao himself, when he saw this child, Dr. Hao's first words were: Teacher Zhang, you gave birth to a monkey!

It turned out that Xiaoye was born with more than three catties due to congenital nutritional deficiencies, and was covered with white fetal hair. Mother just smiled and didn't say anything. But then again, Xiao Yezi was saved under the system of habitual miscarriage before her mother, and she was saved after the hard work of the old Chinese medicine doctor, which can be regarded as fate. Of course, the vitality of the little leaf is very strong, from birth to grow up like a child, experienced several life and death moments, and successfully passed the test with the efforts of his parents, after the age of one, he has not been very healthy and happy.

Later, when Xiao Yezi was about 8 years old, her mother became pregnant again, and her mother was already an older mother at that time, but because it was possible that it was a boy, she insisted on staying. At that time, Xiaoye was not very white, why did my mother want a younger brother so much. Later, she turned white, what her mother hated most was to be a daughter in this life, her mother was a woman with dreams and talents, but her ideals were destroyed by the concept of patriarchy, so she especially wanted to have a boy. And the father, for any decision of the mother, will not refute, just smile. In Xiao Yezi's heart, her parents never quarrel, most of them are just some things that her mother counts with tears, and her father always hides with a smile, and when her mother is angry, she comes back, prepares meals every day as usual, and sends Xiao Yezi to school, which has never changed.

Since she had a younger brother, the family has been busy with moving, Xiao Yezi doesn't know what's going on, she only knows that it seems that she is not an only child, and she will be fined or something if she has a younger brother, and she is going to live in another place. Xiao Yezi doesn't know much about adult things, but Xiao Yezi is full of expectations for going to a new place. Or maybe that's her character. In the new environment, Xiao Yezi has grown from an ignorant teenager to a big girl, and her younger brother has also gone from babbling to toddler, starting to go to elementary school, junior high school, his father has done a little business, worried about his mother's health, his mother has not worked, and the family is working hard to live in a strange place. From strange to familiar,

Everyone in the town knows that there is an honest car repairman in the vicinity of the third middle school, although the father is middle-aged, but with a strong and reliable face, many people have become his old customers, and the mother, from the fat girl of the year, to the fat woman of today, sometimes complains, but life is still comfortable. It's not as rich and expensive as the rich, but it's still enough to feed and wear, and be content and happy. This is what his parents have warned Xiao Ye since he was a child, so Xiao Ye is also a big grin, wide-hearted and fat character.

From the birth of her younger brother, Xiao Yezi slowly felt the changes in the life of the family, but it did not affect her mood, until she received a college notice to leave home, Xiao Yezi, only to find out that there was a younger brother who was really good, seeing that he was going to leave this small town on the northeast border to study in a big city, but he couldn't rest assured that his parents, fortunately, there was a younger brother, although he was just ten years old, but he was also a little man. Moreover, just a minute before getting on the train, my younger brother confidently stated, "You can rest assured at home, there is still me!" At that moment, Xiao Yezi couldn't hold back anymore and cried. The first time I left home, the first time I went to a distant place.

And this has been going for many years, from study to work, when Xiao Yezi took the first salary and sent it to the family, his heart was full of excitement, and he could finally help his father. But I didn't expect the sudden change to change everything.

In May, a year after Xiao Yezi graduated, the news of his father's death came on a day of pouring rain (rare to see in Beijing), Xiao Yezi, who stood in the heavy rain for a long time before relieving himself, originally thought about going home to visit his parents during the Chinese New Year that year, and originally thought about taking them to the big city to see. But it was broken by this news. Xiao Yezi rushed back overnight. On the way, a phone call from her younger brother made her white-hearted family, "Sister, don't worry, I am at home, and my mother has me!" ”

When she saw her mother, Xiao Yezi learned that her father had been sick for some days, but she didn't tell him in order not to affect her work. And this farewell is 5 years, in 5 years, each phone call does not exceed 1 minute, and it will always be the sentence "Yezi, is the money enough?" It's cold, wear more! I'll give your mom the phone" was the minute of the phone call, and from that day on, it became a luxury. Xiao Yezi's father is a cerebral thrombosis, it has been more than half a year, half of the body is inflexible, the family shop has been crowned, the mother in order to support the family, set up a small dining table, the father because he can't make money for the family, but has to spend a lot of money to see a doctor and anxious, and finally took advantage of the family's inattention, he ended his life.

For many, this may seem like a dramatic ending. But for Xiao Yezi and his younger brother, for their family, the father is gone, and what he left behind is indeed such a heavy love. Everyone has the right to choose how to live, and the father chooses to use death to fulfill the life of his children, forgetting that this love is so unbearable. In the face of parting, Xiaoye grew up. It's just that my father forgot whether the leaves that had just grown could take on the responsibility of life. How the mother and daughter spend their lives in the future, maybe everything is fate, and those who should leave at that moment will leave.
