162. Understanding
"It's not dazzling, is it?" The second aunt has a lively heart, how can she talk about things in front of other people's children, anyway, it is no harm to say that it is hidden.
"Unless you're blind." The eldest aunt said disdainfully, "How many years have you been a concubine?" ”
The heart said that even if she peeled off the skin and turned into ashes, she would know it.
"I haven't seen each other for years, but I'm getting younger and younger." The second aunt said with a smile.
"Where are you young, I'm afraid that your head is pierced in the noodle jar, the powder is thick, and you are all dressed up." The eldest aunt has had a gap with each other since she and her second aunt entered the door, but there is not much conflict with Tao Chengyun.
She can't say that she dislikes Tao Chengyun, nor does she like it, what Tao Chengyun and Ling Daikun have become like has nothing to do with her, there is no need to say these stumbling words, but she feels that if she doesn't say these words, it seems that it will not be like it.
Ling Anmin said, "We don't blame others, there's nothing to say, it's good to have their own way." ”
"It's good." The eldest sister's smile revealed helplessness.
From beginning to end, she didn't say a word, and the moment she saw her mother, she really had mixed feelings.
When the old lady left home, she was not young, doing housework, farming, inside and out, she was a good hand, she was confident to solve the problem of eating and drinking at home, that was just survival.
What's the use of just solving the stomach?
She can not study, and if her younger siblings don't study, they will not be able to do anything if they are killed.
Without her parents, she can't take care of so many children even if she grows two pairs of hands.
She was hesitant, confused, and overwhelmed!
How can there be no resentment!
The only thing to be thankful for is that Ling Er picked up the burden for her, and the third and fourth children were also very competitive.
And she herself seems to be useless, just do laundry and cook every day, and take care of the fifth child.
Now, they are doing well, and there is no need to dwell on the past.
However, she felt sorry for Ling Er, he matured prematurely and took on the pressure that he shouldn't bear, and the youngest fifth child had never enjoyed maternal love.
All the faults are blamed on the ruthless woman.
Ling Er smiled and said, "Why don't you all go back, it's useless to keep so many people here, the doctor said, after the drip, you can go home in the afternoon." ”
The eldest aunt said, "Then you go back, it's useless for the old man to stay here, go back to the toilet, I still have to hold on." ”
Ling Er smiled and said, "Someone has to drive, right?" ”
Ling Anmin waved his hand and looked at the fluttering snowflakes, "Put the car here, the snow is so thick, I can't drive, I'll use the board car later, I'll be here with the third child." ”
Ling Er didn't refute, drove the car to the hotel at the head of the bridge, and drove back when it was sunny.
The owner of the restaurant made him a cup of tea, and he accompanied him for a while, drank the tea, and came out.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
It was the first heavy snowfall since 1998.
Unzip your down jacket, stand in the goose-feather snow, take off your gloves, tuck them into your pockets, rub your hands, light a cigarette, and lean over the railing of the bridge.
The railings are cement, and some of the cement blocks have fallen off, revealing rusty rebars.
When this bridge was built, Ling Er did not know, for as long as he could remember, the bridge had existed.
The river mainly relies on the upstream reservoir to deliver water in the summer, so the winter is dry, and the snow is thick and spreads from the bottom of the river to the embankment, and it is white.
After smoking a cigarette, he grabbed the snow on the top of the railing and wiped his hands, and when he turned around, he was suddenly stunned.
His old lady unconsciously kept him behind.
"Little two." Tao Chengyun wrapped his head tightly around the hood of his down jacket and smiled at Ling Er.
Ling Er lit a cigarette again, raised his head, and looked at the sky with both eyes, still white.
"I heard grandpa say that you are out of breath now." Tao Chengyun pointed to the rape field not far away, "Shall we go over there for a walk?" ”
Although it was snowing, it was the Spring Festival, and there were still a lot of people passing back and forth, so she wanted to find a remote place and have a good chat with her son, so that he could understand his helplessness and hard work.
"Well, are you okay?" Ling Er raised his hand holding the cigarette, "I'll leave if it's okay." ”
"Little two." She shouted from behind, and after chasing a few steps, Ling Er's footsteps became bigger and bigger, and she stopped chasing.
Ling Er took a big stride, endured the heartache and did not look back, turned a corner into the gravel road leading to the village, the road was winding, and on both sides were tall plane trees.
After ten minutes or so, he couldn't see her, and she certainly couldn't see him either.
He thought that he would be stronger if he went through it again, but he stopped, and then tears burst out, and the snot ran down his dry face.
I just wanted to wipe it with my sleeve, but I stopped, picked up a handful of snow from the ground, and rubbed it on my face.
His face was clean, but he cried even louder.
He felt like he was going to go limp with weariness.
Rubbing his face with snow again, the more he rubbed it, the more he cried.
He has no regrets in this life, everything he does is smooth, he is wronged for half of his life, and he lives a nest.....
Even death is not so glorious.
Leaning against the plane tree for half an hour, he calmed down, thinking that his eyes were probably swollen from crying, and that going home would cause unnecessary doubts.
simply turned back and went back to the hotel in Qiaotou.
Without waiting for the owner of the restaurant to greet him, he said, "Just order food and move a box of beer." ”
"Shall I drink with you?" Ling Er and Tao Chengyun were talking at the bridge, and the hotel owner saw it with his own eyes, but he didn't come forward to talk to him just now, if he didn't have the strength to see and meddle in things, he would definitely complain.
"Okay." Ling Er smiled reluctantly.
The dish is very simple, a plate of pork head meat, a plate of scrambled eggs with chili, and a plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes.
After the food was served, neither of them moved much, but the beer was bottle after bottle.
Ling Er said that everything is different, after all, understanding is the understanding of different people, just drink it.
It was snowing, the restaurant had no business, and the hotel owner drank more happily with him.
By the time Ling Er had already drunk two boxes by himself, the restaurant owner didn't dare to give Ling Er any more drinks.
Ling Er wanted to go back, but he was even more worried, so he simply arranged for him to sleep in his own room first.
When Ling Er woke up, it was already dark.
I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I washed my face with hot water, threw a thousand yuan for the restaurant owner, and went home.
When he got home, the family was staggered, but no one asked him where he had been for so long, and he was happy to be quiet, so he let the fourth child cook some porridge, drink a bowl, and fall asleep in bed.
After the tenth day of the first month, the snow clears.
The eldest sister, who was anxious to return to Pujiang, was unwilling to stay in the Ling family anymore after her grandmother's body was already porcelain.
There are not only his family of three, but also Ling Daikun, Huang Liyu, the third and the fourth.
