Chapter 4 of the Year of Tranquility
The daughter cried very sadly, and her voice was loud. Ya suddenly had a feeling of collapse: shouldn't she be here for the New Year? Children are playful by nature, and there is nothing fun in this small room. I forget it here, and my daughter is not happy here.
Ya now regrets why she brought her daughter with her. She said that she was here for the New Year, but her husband said that her cousin's car was not enough to sit and asked her daughter to stay with her.
Ya thinks about Nuo's big backyard and she is alone, and she is also very scared. What are you afraid of? Fear of a sudden loud noise on the roof, fear of the door being pushed, fear of a sudden noise in the house. I am also afraid of nightmares, and I scream in fear in my dreams but I can't move......
Ya felt that her daughter seemed to be more daring than her. The daughter and son sometimes hold their mobile phones to watch ghost movies at night, the son is full of fear and doesn't even dare to enter the toilet, but the daughter doesn't care, Ya said: "Watching less ghost movies at night will scare my younger brother." The daughter said disapprenously: "Our teacher said that there are no ghosts in the world at all, and ghost movies are all pretended to be people." ”
When he was a student, Yaya, like his daughter, was sure of what the teacher said: There are no ghosts in this world. Why are you inexplicably afraid of these invisible and untouchable ghosts after school?
I once saw the text that ghosts may exist, but they exist in the form of electromagnetic waves, and when they encounter similar magnetic waves, they will possess them.
Ya's personal experience is that the more you watch a story or film about ghosts, the more you believe it.
For a while, Ya held her mobile phone every day to read the text about raising a little ghost, and she was a little confused when she looked at it.
One day in the middle of the night, Ya went to bed after reading the story of raising a little ghost. It was summer, and Ya slept on her stomach with her feet on the edge of the bed, a common posture for leaning over to look at her phone.
In order to be afraid of mosquito bites, Ya's feet kept shaking. Suddenly, one of Ya's insteps jerked into her heart, similar to the feeling of being hung by a sharp object or being grasped by a cat's paw.
Ya was shocked and hurriedly retracted her feet back into the bed. The next day, Ya checked the edge of the bed for nails, but found nothing. It hurts so much, there should be a scar, but the white instep is as usual, there is no scratch.
Ya later stopped watching the story of raising a ghost, and slowly she also felt that raising a ghost was nonsense.
When Ya worked at a pharmacy in Beijing, it was open 24 hours. Each employee takes turns on the night shift twice a month, and after eleven or twelve o'clock, the pharmacy locks the door from the inside, leaving only a small window to sell medicines. Most of the pills sold at night are condoms and birth control pills.
Once, it was Ya's turn to work the night shift with a female colleague in Beijing, and they spread out two folding beds and placed them vertically next to glass cabinets. The two slept foot to foot, and the beds were not placed next to each other.
In the quiet of the night, I don't know what the sound was in the pharmacy, and after a while, Ya felt her scalp tingle.
The female colleague quickly fell asleep and snored, and in a daze, she slept sideways next to the glass cabinet. Ya was frightened in her heart, and she slept very unsteadily.
In a daze, Ya felt a dark shadow on her bed, and the black shadow desperately pushed Ya up the glass case, and Ya felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe well. She was frightened and frightened, and she couldn't help screaming, she screamed for a long time, but the black shadow still pushed her fiercely.
Ya felt that she couldn't live happily, when she heard a female colleague call her name. Frightened, Ya let out a long breath and rolled over. The female colleague said that Ya had been screaming for a long time, and she was about to scare her to death.
Ya quickly resigned, firstly because of her low salary, and secondly, because she was afraid of working the night shift. That suffocating sense of fear was too real for Ya to experience again. There are many pharmacies in Beijing, and the employees in them often change jobs, but they still jump around in the pharmacies.
Ya's pharmacy in Beijing has almost completed the positions inside: shopping guide, cashier, logistics, management.
Ya went to Guangzhou to work in a factory, and at first she also found a pharmacy near her home, but her salary was only half of the factory.
My husband always said how much money the two of them earned a month, which made Ya very mentally stressed, and she had some confidence to speak in front of her husband with a high salary.
Ya's husband always hopes that his wife will bring out the best in the world: she must be beautiful and outstanding, but also capable and able to earn money, and she must be able to speak, handle housework, and cook good meals. Obviously, Ya made him very dissatisfied, in his eyes, other people's wives were more beautiful and capable than Ya.
Ya was quite confident before she got married, and she always heard people praise her for being beautiful and capable. When she got married, Ya earned enough face for her husband. People there said that the husband's family "ran off the fire".
In order to marry a daughter-in-law, other people's families worked hard to build a new house early. My husband's classmates are all parents who have built the house well and whitewashed it inside and out.
My husband's house is still a mud tile house, which is the house built by his parents when they got married. My husband's parents always lost their temper and said that my husband had gone out to work for a few years and couldn't even get up a house.
My husband's parents even said to Ya: "We are different from you here, we all work here to earn money to build a house." ”
Ya thought it was true at first, but later found out that this place was similar to her mother's house, and most of them were built by parents for their sons to marry daughters-in-law.
Ya's father-in-law and mother-in-law can speak well, not that Ya and her husband can compare. Ya's father-in-law loved to drink, and when he drank too much, he knocked on the table and broke the bowl, saying that he built the earthen house and the furniture was purchased by him......
One of the walls of the house had cracked a gap, and the furniture had not been painted, and it was shiny black.
My husband's grandfather was still there at that time, and it is said that he was also a talented person when he was young. Playing mahjong and playing cards is very powerful, and he has lost all his family and won it all back, which is what my husband and grandmother told Ya.
Why did Ya fall in love with her husband in the first place? Even today, my husband thinks Ya is stupid, more stupid than ordinary women.
Also, my husband's house is one of the few earthen houses in the village, and there are no two families left, and a city girl is still willing to marry her.
Ya's father often said: "People are not afraid of poverty, as long as they are willing to work and endure hardships." Ya's parents were destitute when they got married, and they all relied on a pair of hard-working hands to have a home that was more than enough than the top.
Ya has loved to watch the storybooks of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, the Woodcutter Fox Fairy, and the Snail Girl since she was a child, and subconsciously regarded herself as the Weaver Girl, the Fox Fairy, and the Snail Girl, just waiting for a hard-working and kind Cowherd and Woodcutter to appear.
Ya's sisters' husbands are all found by themselves, and Ya's parents have said that as long as the children are willing, they will not interfere, for fear that they will blame them if they have a bad time.
When the handsome husband appears, Ya involuntarily falls in love. The husband is the kind of masculine beauty, and Ya thinks that one of the signs of a beautiful man is to have high eyebrow bones, thick black eyebrows, and a straight nose bridge, Ya's husband has them.
At that time, many people I knew asked Ya: "That handsome guy is your boyfriend?" Ya nodded happily.
Beautiful women and beautiful men will make people have beautiful fantasies, even if they don't have those virtues, but people with admiration are willing to fantasize about the goddess and male god in their hearts.
Ya is no exception, not to mention that she is a romantic girl who loves literature and fantasizes.
At that time, the wind was full of affection and water with a smile, and the white clouds also danced beautifully. Ya is like Cinderella finding Prince Charming, but the reality is that Gray Boy has found Princess Charming.
At that time, her husband's big eyes often looked at her affectionately. A pair of thin, angular lips that were tightly pursed often fell into Ya's ear and said, "It was God who sent you to me." ”
At that time, Ya's heart was full of romantic feelings, and the two joined hands in the moon, the riverside jungle, the park and the shopping mall, and they were inseparable wherever they went, and the two hands were always holding each other.
In the past ten years, my husband's warm and affectionate face has already shown a fierce and vicious appearance from time to time, and those big eyes are always squinting at Ya, disgusted with vicious words, and they will hit Ya like hail at any time.
Ya sometimes admires herself: if someone among her colleagues says that she is unpleasant, she will resign in anger and leave. But to her husband, she endured it again and again, and now she seems to be numb.
Ya also thought about leaving, but the two lovely children softened her heart again and again.
Romantic Ya eventually became a victim of most improvising families in China. Maybe it was she who threw herself into this relationship back then, and her destitute husband was just complacent and didn't spend money to pick up a daughter-in-law for nothing.
Waiting for raw rice to be cooked into mature rice, waiting to take root and sprout, waiting for children to be obsessed, Ya has become a chess piece in her husband's hand.
When my husband's mother got married, she was more beautiful than other concubines. My husband's grandfather has a husband in his 40s, and he has been very delicate since he was a child.
When they got married, they had a new house and new furniture, and when the husband grew up, the husband's house became the most dilapidated house in the village, and the other families built buildings or brick houses.
My husband's mother always told people that her life was hard (everyone envied her back then), and the husband she was looking for didn't know what to do. She always argued that she was the one who cooked the vegetable patch, that she fed the chickens and pigs, and that she cooked the rice......
She works in the same field with her son, and she complains that she does more for less than her son, but in fact it is the complete opposite. And Ya had never heard her parents complain about them.
The women in the village are building houses and furniture. Ya's in-laws have a mouth that the family doesn't know how to work, and she does the work alone.
Other people's families feed chickens and pigs, and engage in mushrooms, and their lives are as strong as a year.
When Yacai got married, her husband's family fed a few chickens, two pigs, and mushrooms. Ya borrowed money from her mother's family, and they reluctantly got it up.
Ya's in-laws always tell people that his family is already poor, and if he finds a city daughter-in-law, she can't do farm work, can't cook, and can only eat for nothing. Ya was very angry about this and often went back to her parents' house to live.
Later, Ya borrowed money from her mother's family to build a new house in the front yard. In order to repay the house money, Ya and her husband went out to work, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law have lived in a new house since then.
Not long after Ya returned, her father-in-law knocked on the table and smashed the bowl again, saying that he had built the house. Ya reasoned with him, and he yelled: "What do you rely on to build a house?" What will you do? ”
Ya was so angry that she couldn't speak, she didn't know what to do in the countryside, but this house was built by borrowing her mother's money.
Because every time Ya comes back, the father-in-law talks nonsense like this by being drunk. Ya felt that this house could only be built for her parents-in-law to live in, and she could not live here.
So after learning the hard way, Ya borrowed her mother's money and bought a small property near her mother's house, when her son was just born.
When his son was two years old, her husband asked Ya to come to Guangzhou to work. Half of the money has been repaid, and there is still half of it. My husband hopes that Ya will pay it back with him, he is a fun person, and he feels too much pressure to earn money alone.
Ya has been in Guangzhou for almost two years, and the house money has not been repaid. My husband and sister came to borrow money, saying that they couldn't do business, and their parents-in-law asked for money for various reasons, and the two children went to a private school in Guangzhou......
Ya felt that she had made great contributions to her husband's family, and her husband's family should treat her like a guest.
But my parents-in-law told people that the house in the family was built by them, yes, it is really hard to believe that I can't afford a house in my life. My husband said that he bought the house at Ya Niang's house. The two houses have nothing to do with Ya.
Her husband also dislikes Ya in various ways, disgusted that she earns less money, disgusted that she is not young, disgusted that she does not like to deal with people, and disgusted that she cooks is not delicious......
Under the blow of her husband's words day after day, Ya lost a little capital to show off in front of her husband, and she also lamented her incompetence......
In addition to becoming thicker, the husband is still young and handsome, and Ya, who was once 25 years old and was considered 15 years old, has become old and wooden......
