Chapter 2: She
Her name is Mu Xi, born in 96, she said, her mother can't remember when she was born, it may be morning, it may be afternoon, only remember, when she was born, it rained a lot that day, and because of this, her mother gave the name Xi, but because of the illiterate grandfather, he made a mistake and wrote her name Xi!
Before her, she also had a brother who was four years older than her, and I heard her mother say that when she was born, her brother was full of anticipation by the bedside until she was born intact, I heard that the first person to hold her was not her grandparents, nor her father, but her brother, so she said that she was lucky to meet such a brother in her life!
When she was still breastfeeding, her mother did not have much water due to physical reasons, so she had to rely on milk powder to feed, but because the family was not very wealthy, milk powder was a luxury for the family! In desperation, the family can only cook the rice to a thin piece, and then feed her to eat, fortunately, nothing happened during the period, she spent the lactation period safely and soundly, after which she learned to walk, and I don't know who the personality is like, extremely lively, love to make noise, can not stop for a moment, my mother often said, "This child, when he grows up, he will definitely get into a lot of trouble!" But Dad said, "It's so lively, you see, how lively the house is!" And the brother on the side always cleaned up everything she messed up after she made a fuss, and now that I think about it, she said that she does have a good brother! After she was two years old, she learned to speak, although she couldn't say it completely, but she also began to call her father, mother, but only she couldn't call her brother, and she heard her mother say that her brother secretly cried for a long time because of this incident, and then she finally called her brother, but the pronunciation was not accurate, and finally called "Duoduo" but he would finally call his brother, and his brother was happy for a long time, and then, when she was three years old, her mother and father decided to go out to work because of the family's livelihood problems, and she hugged her mother's thighs, Don't let go, don't let my mother go, although my mother has been saying that she will come back soon, but she seems to feel that what her mother said will come back soon, it is a lie, so she didn't let her mother go, just when her mother was at a loss, at this time my brother came over, gently touched her head, and then said to her
"Little Xi'er! Mom just went out for a while and came back soon! ”
She turned her head to look at her brother, seemed to believe her brother's words, let go of the hand holding her mother's leg, then bit her lip, looked at her mother and father, and said with a crying voice
"Mom, are you really coming back soon?"
Mom's body trembled slightly, and then she quickly squatted down with a smile, hugged her, and then said
"Xi'er, Mom and Dad will be back soon!"
After saying that, Mom and Dad left, and watching Mom and Dad leave, she couldn't help it anymore, she cried, she wanted to catch up, but her brother grabbed her, she desperately wanted to break free of his hand, but her brother pulled tightly and didn't let go, and finally she sat on the ground and cried, and her brother squatted down, hugged her and said
"Good boy! Mom and Dad will be back soon! ”
But she didn't seem to listen at all, no way, my brother had to carry her, slowly walking towards the house, I don't know how much time it took to get home with her, she only knew that it seemed that she fell asleep on her brother's back, and when she woke up, it was already dark, looking at the dark surroundings, she was a little scared, and quickly screamed, kept calling for her parents, but at the same time as shouting, she remembered that her parents had left, so she continued to cry, and when she heard the crying, her brother immediately came in, Seeing her crying, he hurriedly hugged her and said
"Oh, Xi'er doesn't cry, she doesn't cry! It's okay, it's okay! ”
But she still kept crying, the crying woke up the sleeping grandparents, the grandfather walked into the room with anger, saw her brother was holding her, and she was letting go of her voice and kept crying, pulled away her brother, and then slapped her in the face, and then pointed to her face and said
"What time is it, you're crying here! Let no one sleep! ”
She was a little stunned by her grandfather's slap, only to feel that her face was spicy and painful, and after being stunned for a while, she cried more fiercely, crying and shouting "Dad, Mom....."
Seeing this, my brother wanted to run over, but my grandfather glared at my brother, and my brother didn't dare to walk towards her for a moment, only to see my grandfather pinching her chin, and then raising her face, so that she couldn't cry, and said
"You've got to get an inch? I don't know how your mother gave birth to this waste, she gave birth to a daughter, if they hadn't stopped her, Lao Tzu would have strangled you to death! I still dare to cry now, if I can't do it, I'll strangle you now! ”
Grandpa's words instantly frightened her so much that she didn't dare to make a sound, and her whole body was trembling, although she knew a long time ago that grandpa didn't seem to like her, but this was the first time she had heard grandpa say this to herself, although she didn't understand what grandpa meant at the time, but she could feel that what grandpa said didn't seem to be a joke!
Seeing that she was honest, grandpa let go of his hand, and then threw her on the bed, and then when he turned around and was about to leave, he glanced at the brother next to him, and pulled his brother out of the room where she slept, and after grandpa and brother left, she covered herself with a quilt alone, and then covered her mouth tightly, and kept crying in the quilt, and I don't know how long I cried, maybe because I was tired of crying, and I fell asleep, until the next day, when the sky was slightly bright, my grandmother came to her room and called her to get up, she promised to get up, As a result, she fell asleep again after a while, and when her grandmother saw that she hadn't gotten up for a long time, she took off a slender branch from the book in front of the door, and then walked into her room, lifted her quilt, and then waved the stick in her hand, and threw her forehead on her body, and the pain in her body immediately woke her up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that her grandmother was beating herself with a stick, and she cried again, and when she woke up, her grandmother hurriedly said to her
"Wake up now? Why didn't you move when you were called? Is it so hard to get out of bed? Do you want to wake you up like this in the future? ”
She cried and shouted
"Don't dare, don't dare! Don't dare."
When Grandma heard her say this, she stopped and said to her
"Give you three minutes, get me up quickly, wash my face and brush my teeth!"
After speaking, grandma glared at her, and then walked out, and she hurriedly got up and dressed while crying, and after getting dressed, she hurriedly went to wash her face and brush her teeth, for fear that it would not be completed in three minutes, and grandma would beat her again, and after she was done, she came to grandma, and grandma saw her and said
"Have you washed your face and brushed your teeth?"
She nodded, only to see her grandmother continue
"Where's the quilt? Stacked or not? ”
Hearing grandma say this, she didn't dare to answer, because just now she was in a hurry to wash her face and brush her teeth, and she didn't fold the quilt
"You didn't fold the quilt, did you?"
She still didn't speak, grandma saw this, so she pulled her towards her room, she struggled desperately, but couldn't resist grandma's strength, and was finally dragged to her room, she was scared and cried again, and grandma came to beat her room, found that the quilt had been folded neatly, looked at her strangely and said
"Didn't you fold the quilt!"
Then he turned around and walked out, and said to her
"I'm going to go to the fields later, you can take care of your home!"
After speaking, grandma left, and she looked at her room folded quilt, a little strange, she clearly remembered that she was in a hurry just now, and did not fold the quilt, how could it be now, the quilt is folded? Before she could figure it out, her brother suddenly came out from behind the door, looked at her and said
"Whew, it's so dangerous, I was almost discovered!"
She looked at her brother and understood what was going on, but he should be on his way to school now, but now that he was at home, she couldn't help asking
"Brother, shouldn't you go to school?"
Hearing her words, my brother pretended to remember this time, and hurriedly said
"Oops! I lost track of time! Then she hurriedly ran in the direction of the school, and later she learned that it was her brother who heard what her grandmother said to her that day, and then delayed school time in order to help her fold the quilt!
After that, for two whole years, Mom and Dad never came back and she was old enough to go to school! When my brother was eating that day, he mentioned it to his grandparents and said
"Grandpa, Xi'er is also 5 years old, shouldn't she be allowed to go to school too?"
Before my brother finished speaking, grandpa put the bowl in his hand on the table, looked at his brother with a serious face, and said
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Seeing her grandfather's appearance at this time, she knew that her grandfather was already angry, she pulled her brother's clothes and motioned for her brother to stop talking, but her brother still spoke
"Grandpa! Xi'er is 5 years old and can go to school......."
"Smack!" Before my brother finished speaking, his grandfather slapped him and then scolded him
"Do you know how much it costs to go to school, and you dare to ask her to go to school? I think you think you're great when you read a book and know a few words, don't you? ”
My brother hurriedly said
"No, I'm just ......"
Before my brother finished speaking, grandpa waved his hand and slapped his brother a few times, and said
"You're just? What are you just? School? Don't you need money to go to school? It's not easy for you to go to school alone, not to mention that she is a girl, and it's a waste of money for a girl to go to school! ”
She watched the corners of her brother's mouth slowly flow blood because of her grandfather's slaps, and she felt for the first time that the two people she called her grandparents were what kind of existence, everything was money?
That was the first time she realized how money existed, she said!
