Fan5: A fork in the road in life

After the breakup, the boar left the mine owned by Uncle Shan's friend and went to another mine. After I went, I learned that the reason why the wages of this mine are so high is only because it is a black mine, and the miners are all deceived coolies.

They coaxed the boar to go, obviously to let him manage the procurement of materials, but in fact, they fancied his network resources, so that he could have a good relationship with local black and white people.

The more they learned about the black mines, the more frightened they became, because the boss behind the scenes not only had black mines, but also did pornography, gambling, and drug business. It's one thing to like watching gangster movies, it's another thing to really mess with them.

It doesn't work to report directly, the boar knows that there is a cadre of a certain director's wife in this mine, and the director himself knows about these things.

His mother's illness and emotional discomfort made it impossible for the boar to calm down in the face of these things, and the mine boss saw that he wanted to poke the matter out of the place, so he threatened him.

Boar knew that the threats weren't just verbal threats, because many of the thugs in the mine were really responsible for the murders.

In order to get out of here, the boar calmed down and observed that the director's wife would occasionally come to "share dividends", and this lady loved money and believed in Buddhism.

The boar took the opportunity to discuss Buddhism with her, and also participated in Buddhist activities with her, and the mine boss didn't pay so much attention to the boar when he went out.

One day, the boar found an opportunity, got on the train, and returned to Rongcheng. Because he didn't have a seat, he could only stand with his legs bent over when he stood on the bus, and when he arrived at his grandparents' house, his legs were swollen.

He explained the matter of the black mine to Uncle Shan, and Uncle Shan had a son who graduated from a military academy in Jinxi and stayed in a military service in Jinxi after being discharged from the army.

Uncle Shan told Shanhu about the matter, and Shanhu found a way to deal with these things through relationships, so that the black mine boss could no longer threaten the mountain boar.

Two years later, the black mine was completely wiped out, and when I checked how many victims there were, I found that Uncle Rabbit was also one of the victims.

At that time, many victims couldn't tell who was not, and the name of the address was engraved on the back of the silver Buddha card of the second uncle of the rabbit, and the mountain tiger who participated in the case knew about the second uncle of the rabbit, so that the second uncle of the rabbit could return to his roots.

Speaking of which, it is the second uncle of the rabbit who can let the bones return home. Later, Grandpa Rabbit learned of this and felt that he owed the Shan family a favor, but the Wild Boar blamed himself for not handling the matter well, if he had handled it better and ended the black mine as soon as possible, maybe the second uncle of Rabbit would not have been tortured to death.

In fact, the boar was not able to do anything back then, and because his mother had no hope of healing, it would be good if he was in such a bad mood that he could get out by himself.

Boar's mother wanted to see her son get married before he died, and Boar's younger brother, Bobcat, was two years younger than him, and of course the main thing was to want Boar to get married.

said that he wanted to get married, and he really found a bride quickly. The bride's name is Ah Ling, she lives in a small town not far from his family, and is a simple peasant girl.

It only took seven days for them to meet and hold the wedding banquet, because Ah Ling was not yet twenty years old, so she only held a banquet and had not yet received a certificate.

The reason why it is so hasty is that the mother of the boar is seriously ill and can not last for a few days; Second, because Ah Ling's father is a drunkard and a gambler, he needs the gift money from the wedding banquet to pay off the debt.

Hearing this, the little rabbit felt uncomfortable like a big stone, she didn't know whether to love or not, she just felt that the boar and Ah Ling were people, how could people sell them like dealing with the goods?

At the age of thirteen and the fourteenth year, during the Spring Festival, the boar and the rabbit met again. This year is the year of entering the 00s, and the millennial concept from 99 to 00 is on fire.

It is ridiculous that remote villages that don't understand what "millennium" is have created rumors of "millennium bugs", and even Grandpa and Grandma Rabbit regard millennium bugs as demonic insect-shaped monsters. It is said that the millennium worm will devour everything on New Year's Eve, which makes people panic.

Rabbit explained that the Millennium Bug was not a monster, but a problem caused by a computer system upgrade, and they asked her to explain it specifically. The little rabbit couldn't tell what it was, but he knew it wasn't a monster anyway. When they saw that Little Rabbit couldn't speak clearly, they didn't believe her and continued to panic.

Panic is contagious, and even if the little rabbit knows that there are no monsters to bring about the end, he is still very uneasy. It was very cold that winter, and it rarely snowed in the western Sichuan Plain of Shuchuan, and it was all light snow, but the snow that winter was very large, as if the end of the world would really come, but it was not swallowed by the thousand-year-old worm, but the whole world was frozen.

In the fluttering snow, the boar came to her with a smile, and did not hear what he said when he greeted her, only to see that his beard had become longer, his hair had become shorter, and his eyes had carved vicissitudes.

The little rabbit reached out to brush the snow off his shoulder, and smiled softly, and he smiled. He no longer continued to grow taller, and the little rabbit was still growing, and he used to be unable to reach his shoulder even if he tried to reach out, but now he put his hand on his shoulder with a slight lift.

Greeting each other and saying goodbye soon, the boar has to go to work, and the little rabbit has to help the three uncles cook.

Times are changing, and living in such a compound is no longer a status symbol. Many people have moved out of the old courtyard, and only the third uncle's family still lives here. At this time, people are proud to live in villas, and if they can't afford to live in villas, high-rise elevator apartments can also be. Most of the people living in the compound are retired government cadres and workers of state-owned enterprises, and although they do not have the same sense of glory as before, most of them still consider themselves superior.

Because the children are busy and rarely come to see Grandpa Shan, they are very happy when the little rabbit goes to visit them.

In the midst of the small talk, they talked about the boar again. The mountain mother died two months after his marriage, and after the funeral he wanted to separate from Ah Ling, but Ah Ling became pregnant. Abortion is tantamount to a crime for the traditional boar in his bones, and the mountain father also wants to hold his grandson, so he no longer mentions separation.

In order to welcome the child who will be born, and in order to repay the debt owed for the treatment of his mother, the boar does not dare to spend money indiscriminately, works hard every day, and looks forward to working overtime.

During the Spring Festival this year, Little Rabbit didn't go to play with the boar, so she went to the bookstore to read free books when she was free. Stand by the bookshelf, read for ten minutes at a time, and read another ten minutes in another bookstore, so that she can read books again, and she is not afraid of the clerk coming to ask her if she buys it.

Books open a window for the little rabbit, allowing her to breathe fresh air in her trivial and depressing life, the air that belongs to another better world, although illusory, but desirable.

When the fourteen-year-old came to Rongcheng during the summer vacation, Xiaotu didn't see the boar, and heard that he went to work in another province. It's the end of the year in a blink of an eye, and I saw him once during the Spring Festival.

At that time, the boar's children were half a year old, but the little rabbit didn't see Ah Ling and their baby, and only saw a photo in the photo album of his grandparents' house.

In the photo, Ah Ling has a sad face, simple clothes, and a delicate appearance, and is a jasper-type woman from a small family. The little baby's name is called the big boy, and the big boy is white and fat, and he smiles brightly.

I heard from my grandparents that the boar and Ah Ling had not yet applied for a marriage certificate, and in order to register the child, Ah Ling begged him to apply for a certificate, but he wanted to push it again and again.

The boar only sent money to Ah Ling and refused to take her with him. From the time she went out after her mother's funeral, she only returned home when the child was born, and left again after the child was full moon. Ah Ling came to Rongcheng to look for him, and he hid in other provinces.

Although Grandpa Shan was dissatisfied with this marriage and did not go to the wedding, he still hoped that the boar would live a peaceful and stable life, after all, he had a child, and Ah Ling was also an honest woman and would not cause trouble for the boar.

After seeing the boar, the little rabbit remembered what his grandparents said, and muttered in a low voice that Ah Ling and the child were too pitiful. She didn't dare to persuade directly, so she could only say it to herself.

The boar said that Ah Ling has nothing to be pitied, she is much luckier than most rural women, and she doesn't have to work hard to do farm work, and she doesn't have to be afraid to work around, where is the pity?

I didn't expect him to look at the matter of snubbing Ah Ling like this, the little rabbit lowered his voice again, and said in a whisper, even if Ah Ling is not pitiful, the eldest boy is pitiful if he can't see his father.

The boar pouted and smiled, saying that he was taking a university self-examination course, and he didn't want to listen to Ah Ling's nagging about those household chores so he avoided her, and he would go back to see their mother and son when he was free in the future.

He made an excuse, and the little rabbit stopped talking and went back to the third uncle's house first. Little Rabbit knew that the boar was indeed self-taught, but Little Rabbit knew that that was not the real reason for snubbing Ah Ling, she had seen Tian Tian come to find the boar.

Tian Tian also came to play with the rabbit, gave her bubble gum, and then blew a big bubble to show the rabbit. The little rabbit only chews on the sweetness and is reluctant to blow bubbles, and spit bubbles in her mouth will make her worry that she will become foamy and disappear like the Little Mermaid.
