Chapter 14: Memories 2
Lan Yingying, who returned home, looked at the gray and white walls around her, threw the bag in her hand, and lay straight on the bed. recalled what his father said at noon: "Stinky boy, let me tell you, stay away from this white-eyed wolf!" She killed her mother, her grandmother, and her grandfather. If it weren't for my fate, I guess I would have finished playing! I couldn't help but sneer, remembering, going back to when she was a child.
At that time, my mother was still in this world. When grandma or grandpa or dad beat Lan Yingying, her mother would run over to protect her as soon as possible, so that the sticks would fall on herself. At that time, Lan Yingying felt that her mother was strong and her umbrella, and secretly decided: When I grow up a little more, I will be replaced to protect my mother.
After her mother committed suicide, Lan Yingying hated her for her cowardice, but in fact, she missed her more.
And without an umbrella, grandma beat Lan Yingying even harder, and there are more reasons.
"Eating so slowly?" A slap in the face.
"What's the use of doing so well in the exam, it's not a loss of money!" pushed Lan Yingying, who was holding the report card, away.
"I said that I had to enter the gate with my left foot first, but I don't have a long memory, right?"
......
It's funny to think of the reasons for the beatings back then, in the end, grandma just wanted to be angry with herself. She never understood why other families could be harmonious and happy, while my family could only dislike each other.
Later, the grandmother thought that her son couldn't find a wife because of the existence of Lan Yingying's oil bottle, and she was even harsher on her.
No matter how she was treated, Lan Yingying endured it until one day.....
is about to go to junior high school, Lan Yingying studies harder, in addition to doing housework, is to lock herself in a small room to review and consolidate the knowledge she has learned or preview the books from the neighbor's junior high school.
On this day, grandma seemed to be out talking to the neighbors and was in a bad mood.
kicked open the door of Lan Yingying's room angrily, looked at Lan Yingying who was studying, and was even more angry: "You waste, you know what's the use of nesting here to read!" I see you still watch! With that, he strode over, picked up the book and tore it.
"Grandma, don't tear it, this is a borrowed book." Lan Yingying hurriedly stopped.
Grandma pushed Lan Yingying away, tearing up and throwing books.
Lan Yingying could only clench her fists and watch weakly.
The things on the table were almost destroyed, and the grandmother seemed to be in a better mood, and when she glanced at the table again, she saw the picture of her mother pressed under the glass, and suddenly became angry again. Lift the glass and take out the photo.
Lan Yingying saw it and immediately ran over to grab the photo.
Grandma kicked Lan Yingying, but she didn't expect her to take it and not regress, and she wanted to grab this photo.
"Money-losing girls, giving birth to a money-losing goods." Grandma split the photo in two at once, "My son has a bad reputation, so you committed suicide by that waste mother!" After speaking, he kicked Lan Yingying away and tore the photo apart.
Lan Yingying sat on the ground and looked at the torn photos, stunned.
But grandma slammed the door with a victorious attitude.
A tear crossed her cheek, which also relieved the stunned Lan Yingying: I often blame my mother for being cowardly, but now I am not cowardly.
Pack up the shredded photos on the ground and pack them in a small box. Standing in front of the table, looking out the window, there was a coldness in his eyes that should not be there at this age.
When I went downstairs to get duct tape, I heard someone talking in the living room.
"Did you hear that? Wang San fell yesterday, and today the hospital came out with news, saying that he was dying! ”
"Ouch, isn't it, now that we're older, we're the most afraid of wrestling!"
"That's it, our old bones don't have to be broken! In the future, you should be a little more careful when walking. ”
In the living room, a few people talked about Wang San's wrestling.
And Lan Yingying listened to their conversation behind the wall, repeating the word they said: "Wrestling? ”
On this day, Lan Yingying had a bold idea, she needed to wait for a rain.
The Lan family is a 3-story building, which was built when Lan Jiawei was preparing to get married. Because there is not much money, the materials are the cheapest, and even the tiles in the stairwell are only inlaid on the second floor.
When Lan Yingying's mother got married, there were no handrails on the stairs. Or she pressed the handrail after her part-time job.
The house began to leak rain in less than 5 years.
Lan Yingying lives in the room with the worst rain leakage - the cubicle on the third floor, while Lan Jiawei and his grandparents live on the second floor.
A week before the start of school, a heavy rainstorm finally arrived.
The sky turned dark gray with lightning and thunder, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. Lan Yingying's family rested in their own rooms.
"Drip, drip, drip" The rain dripped into the red basin, Lan Yingying sat on the bed with her hands and knees, staring at the basin in front of the bed with her round eyes a little fascinated.
Watch the rain in the red basin drip little by little. Lan Yingying got out of bed and put on her sandals, picked up the basin and prepared to go downstairs.
There were also several large buckets on the stairs, each of which contained more than half a bucket of rainwater.
Walking to the stairs on the second floor, Lan Yingying kicked down one of the buckets and threw the basin in her hand aside. All the water in the bucket and basin was sprinkled on the stairs.
Lan Jiawei opened the door when he heard the sound, saw Lan Yingying sitting on the ground and the basins and buckets around him, and scolded: "Useless things!" ”
Lan Yingying lowered her head and whispered, "I'll clean it up immediately." ”
Grandma also poked her head out when she heard the sound, she was already in a bad mood because of the rainy day, and she was even more angry when she saw her. Hurriedly came out and went to the staircase: "Brute! ”
Lan Yingying lowered her head and didn't reply, grandma hated her the way she looked the most. Walk over quickly, trying to get rid of the person who upset her. As soon as I walked up a staircase, I felt my feet slip and grabbed the handrail.
When she stood on a staircase above Lan Yingying, her grandmother was condescending, and she didn't know why she was angry when she saw her, and now she couldn't even do this little thing, so she kicked her head directly.
Lan Yingying fell directly backwards, and when she fell, her leg swept to the other leg where her grandmother was standing.
Grandma flew straight down.
Lan Jiawei crossed Lan Yingying and went directly to check on his grandmother.
As they talked about that day, people really don't fall when they get old, let alone she falls on her head.
Grandma was hospitalized for a week, and her condition did not improve, lying in bed sometimes moaning in pain, sometimes in a daze.
And Lan Jiawei really didn't have the money to pay, and he was persuaded to quit by the hospital after delaying the hospitalization fee for a few days.
Back at home, Lan Jiawei couldn't take care of people, grandpa didn't take care of her at all, and grandma left a few days after being discharged from the hospital.
A few days after her grandmother left, Lan Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, and no one cared about her at all.
For a long time, the state of this family was: Lan Jiawei did not return home, Lan Yingying studied hard and occasionally went out to pick some wild vegetables to sell, and grandpa occasionally went out to play small cards, and the three of them were temporarily irrelevant.
