Chapter 1: Grandma Duck
My tenth guest brought the first story of Fengyi Pavilion whose name is unknown.
No one knows what her name is, and she never tells anyone, because she is very fat, with white fat all over her body, and even her neck is piled up with fat, and she walks and sways. Others nicknamed her "Old Duck".
Grandma Duck only has one friend of her grandmother, and when she was a child, she often came to Dong'er's house to play with her grandmother, and her memory of her was caused by one of her words, which was "Young people have love and old companions." "Because this sentence was very fresh when I was a child, I remembered it.
Grandma Duck is a bad person in the eyes of the villagers. She didn't care for her husband, she ate all the good things by herself, and she ate all the fat all over her body, but her husband was thin and lean, and there were not a few taels of meat on his body. There are many rumors about him stealing food, some say that she cooks dumplings in a kettle, cooks noodles in a ravid, and others say that she burns her own pigs and chickens and eats them...... Piglets and chickens were also heard screaming as they were burned. Her husband often beat her for this, but she never changed, and then her husband stopped raising chickens and pigs, and no longer stored flour at home. She also exchanged soybeans and wheat grown in her own fields and the vendors in the village for noodles and tofu. Once, when she was hit by her husband, he locked her in the house, and she used a chair as a ladder and climbed up the wall to get back what she wanted to eat. His husband really had no choice, so he stopped caring about him and left her to create her own business. Every time she went to the street, the children surrounded her like a diorama, sometimes she disdained this group of children, and walked staggeringly by herself, sometimes annoying her, she would shout, quarrel, and scold at the children, and the children scattered, and then not far from her, clapping their hands and jumping feet and shouting, "Old duck, old duck!" She ignored it and continued to walk staggeringly, and the children followed her from time to time, shouting, "Old duck." There was an even more mischievous one, picking up a small clod of dirt from the ground and throwing it at her fat body, and she pretended not to know about it when it was light, and when it was heavy, she turned around awkwardly, glared at the children fiercely, and the children scattered, until they watched her staggering into her own house or someone else's house from a distance.
Once grandma took Dong'er to see Grandma Duck, and when she entered the door of her house, she found that there was smoke in the kitchen and some black things on the ground. Grandma was very angry and angry at Grandma Duck as if teaching a child, "You are stuck at home again!" Why bother? Doing this to myself".
At first, Grandma Duck looked like a child was doing something bad and was caught by her parents, and she panicked to eliminate the evidence of the crime. Grandma stood in the yard watching her, and Dong'er broke away from her grandmother's hand and ran to the plane tree to pick up leaves and play. Grandma Duck picked up the black stuff on the floor, put it in a bowl, and brought it back to the house. Grandma sat in a chair and looked at her without speaking. Grandma Duck burst into tears. Dong'er was attracted by her crying, because in Dong'er's impression, adults, especially the elderly, never cried, but Grandma Duck cried like a child, and only children who were beaten by adults would cry like that. Dong'er crept into the house along the door, snuggled up to her grandmother, and looked at Grandma Duck's big snow-white face full of fat with frightened eyes, and her open red mouth, and her eyes flowed down her tears one by one. It was Dong'er who realized that the old man also had a lot of tears.
Grandma hurriedly persuaded her, "Okay, don't cry, I think of your old man again, what's the use of thinking about him again?" I still have to live this day, look at you, don't scare my children. ”
Grandma Duck seemed to realize Dong'er's existence at once, and immediately stopped crying, hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve, twisted her fat body piled on the chair to this side, stretched her head over and said to Dong'er in a very gentle voice, "Child! This crazy grandma didn't scare you, did she? It's all because Dong'er is not good, and I forgot that you are also there. ”
Although her eyes were red, Dong'er could see that her gaze was extremely kind, just like her grandmother's.
Seeing Dong'er looking away, she smiled with relief. wiped away her tears again and began to talk to her grandmother, "Why can't Dong'er die, they all say that the more karma you make, the closer the death period is, but why doesn't Dong'er die!" Grandma Duck took out a handkerchief from under her armpit and continued to wipe her tears, "It is said that young couples are old companions, although you and his Uncle Chun are halfway and have been for decades, why can't you forget it......" Grandma sighed heavily.
"It's all my fault that I wasn't blessed to enjoy" Grandma Duck was immersed in the past again, "He is a few years older than me, don't mention the one that hurts, I know that you love red and don't buy you green, I know that you love sour and never buy sweet for you, teach me to read and write every day, teach me hand-in-hand," Grandma Duck looked at Grandma, "You know, I have also read books for a few years in my mother's house, and I can recognize a few words."
Grandma nodded, Grandma Duck's eyes were full of beautiful love, as if she had returned to decades ago, she was young and beautiful, with a graceful figure, laughing happily around her old man, playing to her heart's content, her old man was more like a mountain and a sea open to her with a broad mind, the world seemed to be only the two of them, and there was her peerless peach orchard. "But my handwriting is always bad, his handwriting is always so good, no matter how I practice, I can't compare to him, I just throw away the pen and don't write when I get angry, he always picks up the pen, coaxes me like a child, coaxes me to write again......"
Grandma Duck smiled bitterly, "But why can't she bear to leave me alone!" After all these years, why don't you call me? Every year on his sacrifice day, Dong'er burns paper for him, tells him that I am here, and let him come and go, but why doesn't it work! He suddenly looked at his grandmother as if he understood something, "Do you think he thinks he thinks I'm remarried and doesn't want me anymore?" ”
Grandma looked at her with pity, "It's not your will, which woman is willing to take this step, his Uncle Chun bought you and saved you, you should be kind to him." ”
"Good! How is it good? He didn't give it to me what I liked, and scolded me and beat me, and he was worthy of him if he gave birth to a daughter. I only pity my old man, why didn't I leave him a root! The young man has a loving old companion, and the one who has love with me has not reached old age, and the old man has no love. Seeing that it was almost noon, Grandma persuaded Grandma Duck a few words and took Dong'er home.
Later, after learning from her grandmother that the old man of Grandma Duck had died, she was sold, and at first she wanted to sell her to a brothel, but the old bustard did not dare to ask for it, saying that no one wanted to buy a corpse. After several twists and turns, Grandpa Chun bought her back, and when she brought her back, she only had one breath left. She wanted to die several times, but she didn't die several times, in her words, she was hanged with a broken rope, jumped into a well and was seen by someone, and was fished up again after throwing herself into the river, and every time she got it back, she was beaten badly. She clings to her innocence, just as her bed is always clean, maybe this is the soul in her heart. She hadn't looked in the mirror since her old man died. Grandpa Chun took possession of her in some way, and she gave birth to a daughter. Her body may no longer belong to her, she has stuffed everything that can be eaten and cannot be eaten into her mouth, and her whole person is completely deformed, like a balloon that has been blown up, and she has become an old duck that everyone despises.
One afternoon before the wheat harvest, the duck grandmother came to play with the grandmother, the grandmother was feeding the pigs in the front yard, and the old sow had just laid a litter of piglets and needed special care. Dong'er was kicking sandbags in the yard, and when she saw Grandma Duck swaying in, she shouted at the front yard, "Grandma, Grandma Duck is here!" Grandma hurriedly ran out of the front yard with her little feet and glared at Dong'er, "Look at you, how do you talk!" ”
Hurriedly rushed to the duck grandmother with a smiling face, "Don't mind, the child can't speak, I'll train her later!" ”
Grandma Duck smiled and said, "What do you teach her to do, the child screams well, I like it."
I went into the house with my grandmother. Suddenly, I saw the leftover watermelon rinds that Dong'er had eaten at noon, and I grabbed them and ate them. Because it was not rich, the grandmother saw that the children could not eat the watermelon cleanly, so she cut off the white soft skin with a knife and put it in a bowl and kept it for the children to eat. She looks like she's very greedy. Dong'er was stunned by this scene, grandma had never eaten like this.
Grandma hurriedly stopped her when she saw it, "Don't eat this, I'm so embarrassed, there's a good one here." He hurriedly opened the cook, took out a large piece of watermelon, cut off two large pieces with a knife, and handed it to Grandma Duck.
The duck grandmother grabbed a piece and ate it, and said in her mouth, "I'm so sorry, I'm just greedy, this is reserved for the child."
"Eat, the child has eaten at noon, isn't there anything else." Grandma Duck ate a piece, picked up the second one and couldn't eat anything, and tears fell down.
"Eat, why don't you eat it?" Grandma urged.
Grandma Duck put the watermelon on the table, her chubby body piled up all over the chair, and sighed, "Alas! I haven't smelled watermelon for many years, and I'm really greedy, and I can eat it from the wheat to August 15 at that time! Before leaving, Grandma Duck asked Grandma for the watermelon and brought it back, maybe she brought it back to pay tribute to her old man.
After Grandma Duck left, Grandma still taught Dong'er a lesson, telling Dong'er to call Grandma Chun in the future, and when Grandma Duck came again, Dong'er shouted at Grandma, "Grandma, Grandma Chun is here."
But Grandma Duck was not happy, she asked Dong'er, "Why don't you call Grandma Duck?" ”
Dong'er said, "Grandma won't let me call." ”
But she said, "Grandma loves to listen, come, scream again," and bent her chubby body and stretched her face over.
Dong'er whispered into her ear, "Grandma Duck······"
She laughed, "Be louder, I can't hear clearly." ”
Dong'er's voice was a little louder, "Grandma Duck!" She smiled happily, and at that time Dong'er felt that her fat face was not ugly at all.
Later, when Grandma was seriously ill, Grandma Duck came to see it with her swaying body, and they talked for a long time. When grandma died, Grandma Duck cried a lot, just like when Dong'er saw her cry when she was a child, but this time Grandma couldn't get up to persuade her, so she could only lie quietly and listen to her cry, "You are all gone, what are you doing here while leaving Dong'er, why am I not dead, God, why don't you let me go for her."
After Grandma died, Grandma Duck never went out again, and later I heard that she died peacefully, maybe she really said before her death, "I can't die and go to her old man". Maybe at the moment before she died, she finally met her old man.
