A peaceful, warm, and affectionate family dinner passed in this way, and Wen Biquan felt the wisdom, tolerance and deep love of his parents!

Wen Biquan actively cleaned up the mess after the meal. In this kind of light housework, I don't feel any tiredness, but there is a real, full sense of happiness and satisfaction.

Indeed, in life, what do you want? Isn't it just this little bit of happiness at your fingertips?

For Wen Biquan, family affection and love are the main goals she pursues in this life, and they are also the source of her happiness.

Fortunately, in this life, his father and mother love themselves very much, and they love themselves exclusively and unreservedly, so that they do not feel any shortcomings both physically and emotionally, Wen Biquan is very relieved and satisfied.

The pessimism and negative emotions that I had just learned about my previous life a while ago were quietly soothed, and the feeling of being abandoned was also cleansed, and some missing places in my heart were quietly made up and strengthened.

Wen Biquan felt that the sweet feeling in her heart was gradually expanding, and a trace of it filled her heart, making her intoxicated.

Wen Biquan hummed a little song and quickly finished the housework downstairs, and took Mi Xiuzhu's ghost to say goodbye to his parents and went upstairs and returned to his room.

After Mi Xiuzhu entered the room, he said with emotion: "I really envy your family!" There is a strong love and affection between each other, which is a very precious and luxurious relationship that we could not think of in our time, and I find that it seems that there is not only such a relationship in your family, as if the whole society is full of this fashion, it is really enviable, or this era is good! ”

Wen Biquan glanced back at Senior Sister Mi who was walking towards the desk, and said with a smug smile: "Of course! After all, the times are going to progress, and the back waves will be higher than the front waves, otherwise how can the front waves be slapped on the beach? No one can stop the wheel of history moving forward, and we are fortunate to stand on the shoulders of the giants of the times! ”

Mi Xiuzhu felt that Wen Biquan was showing off the era she was in, looking at her stinging appearance, she was as proud as a little peacock with the screen open, she was funny in her heart, she didn't say anything, she didn't want to worry about her, and she couldn't bear to hit her interest, so she just smiled helplessly.

However, Mi Xiuzhu pondered and unconsciously secretly thought, as the so-called world has yin and yang, and it is born together, there are good and bad, there must be gains, there is white and black, there is light and there is darkness, all appear in pairs, where there will be a blind good!

Mi Xiuzhu glanced at the complacent Wen Biquan lying on the bed again, shook his head with a smile, did not deny or agree, thought objectively for a while, and looked at the mobile phone on the desk, and found nothing abnormal, so he said to himself lightly: "Good is definitely good, the progress of the times has been confirmed in many aspects!" However, at the same time, I also saw that many of the things of my ancestors were ruthlessly thrown away! All in all, there may be pros and cons! Who knows if it's good in the end? Maybe it's too early to say anything! ”

Wen Biquan listened to Mi Xiuzhu's words, gradually restrained his smile, was silent for a while, turned sideways to Mi Xiuzhu, supported his head with his hands, nodded, and said very agreeably: "Yes, it's too early to make an assertion, let history comment and witness!" I believe that those we have lost should be reasonably eliminated, otherwise it will be too blind! The cultural heritage of ancient India, ancient Babylon and ancient Egypt has been broken, what will be the fate of ancient China? We can't turn the tide in it, maybe this is the inevitability of history! ”

As if thinking of something, Wen Biquan's heart moved, and then his eyes lit up, and his expression changed from the heaviness just now to the gossip girl in the market, and he smiled curiously, dragging a long voice and saying: "Mi... Division... Sister, I heard you say that you are from a big family in the old system of the past era, and your Mi family is also a big family! Can you tell me what your past days were like, are all men with three wives and four concubines? If a man has several wives, how is their relationship going? Is the relationship between the concubines good? Do you get into fights a lot? ”

Mi Xiuzhu raised his head violently when he heard this, his eyes looked at Wen Biquan, who was lying there with a relaxed expression, and instantly smiled and quipped: "Hehe, the focus of your attention is really a little peculiar, why did you think of asking this question?" I've watched too many costume palace fights, and my head is full of mutual calculations between women, right? ”

"Of course! I've always wondered, what did women in the past think? Is it the same as we are now? Wen Biquan nodded calmly and pursed his lips, "Those film and television works are too exaggerated and too mysterious, I don't believe it, just come and tell me about it!" ”

Mi Xiuzhu nodded, stood up, paced back and forth at the desk for a few steps, and said in a slow and clear voice: "It's okay to talk about it, it can be regarded as a record of history." ”

Mi Xiuzhu said eloquently: "Actually, it's not wrong, of course our men at that time could be three wives and four concubines, at that time, there were three unfilial pieties, and no queen was the greatest, reproduction and survival were the mainstream of that era!" How can I do my big property without anyone taking care of it? You have to give birth to yourself, give birth to your own sons, develop your own family, and strengthen your own lintel. ”

"At that time, it was difficult for husband and wife to have real feelings between them, except that the two were childhood sweethearts who were playmates and might have deep feelings, most of them couldn't get this kind of luxury, even my parents didn't."

What's more, the social hierarchy at that time was extremely strong, and the relationship between husband and wife was not the same. The status of the original wife is the highest, called the wife, is the beautiful Ming media is marrying, most of the elders need to use the means of marriage to expand their own power, consolidate their own family, the so-called family is right, strong alliance, wives are more concerned about the development of their own family, and the children born are all grandchildren, extremely noble. ”

"The other second and third rooms are all concubines, and the reasons for marrying in are different, and a wedding sedan chair carried the concubine in the side room wearing a wedding dress from the small door. The main task of being raised here is to reproduce offspring for the family, and the children born are all concubines and are not valued. Therefore, the concubines do not have the intention of glorifying the lintel, and they will only think of trying their best to seduce the lord to be as close to themselves as possible. ”

Therefore, when the lord who is the male head of the family likes concubines very much, he will be subjected to all kinds of difficulties and persecution by his original wife in the family. The concubines had a hard time, and of course they would rebel and struggle. ”

"The wife is also very aggrieved, not only do I have to join hands with the lord to tide over the difficulties, but also guard against the small actions of the concubines to prevent the outflow of family wealth, so mutual calculations and harms have become an inevitability, and even more so, the conscience and bottom line of human beings have been annihilated."

"Anyway, it's a miasma, and it's extremely depressing!" Mi Xiuzhu said a lot of words in a row, and he didn't care if Wen Biquan could understand it, he sighed to himself, waved his hand, and said with an extremely disgusted expression: "The society of three wives and four concubines is nothing good, it has invisibly created internal strife and internal friction, isn't it nothing to look for?" I just can't get used to these people walking out of the house without hesitation. ”

"Oh, that's right!" Wen Biquan nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder you walked out of the house so early, you are not satisfied with the atmosphere of family relations in your family!" ”

"yes!" Mi Xiuzhu paused for a while, and then said, "I can't stay for a quarter of an hour!" Fortunately, at that time, our country was going through major changes, and the times were progressing, and when girls went to school, I went to school with my distant brothers and sisters. After going to school, I realized that I didn't have much way out, so I embarked on this road even more desperately, trying to win more opportunities for myself to survive and develop, and not let myself drown in the old family! ”

"Uh-huh! It's time to get out! I can't live that kind of day, and I'm suffocating when I think about it! You're doing the right thing, you're wise! Wen Biquan nodded in agreement, "Then what was the scale of your Mi family at that time?" Is it big? ”

Mi Xiuzhu had a little smile on his face this time, with a little pride, and continued to say in contemplation: "Our Mi family is a big family in Wuxi, Jiangsu, and there are fields and shops there. My father had eight brothers and four sisters, and my father was the fifth oldest among the brothers. The eldest and sixth are born to grandmothers, and they are very promising, and the eldest is also an official outside. The rest of the brothers were all concubines, born to each concubine's grandmother. My father was born to the second grandmother, and of course he was also a concubine, and was arranged to be the shopkeeper in one of the shops. The youngest of the four aunts is a sister-in-law, like a little princess, who was favored by the whole family, and finally married an official and became an official's wife. The rest are also concubines, and they married small families in the nearby ten miles and eight villages as wives, and their lives are not bad! ”

"My father married a wife and two concubines, leaving a total of three boys and two daughters, I was the youngest, born to the second concubine, and originally had a biological brother, but when I was eight years old, I was left alone with my mother. My father was busy making ends meet outside and didn't come back often, and when he came back, he was busy getting close to my aunt. My mother saw through this, and she didn't fight, and worked hard to live indifferently. In fact, in our family, in addition to my mother's feelings for me, there is not much affection between my father and mother, and between me and my father, and the human touch is quite light! ”

"For as long as I can remember, society has been in turmoil, and all kinds of ideas have caused shocks in our family, and my uncles and uncles have different ideals, and they no longer just want to live in peace with their ancestors' property. At that time, our family's life began to be a little sad, and disputes were frequent, right and wrong, conservative and radical fought back and forth, and the family also fought red-faced. However, my mother still did her part lightly and hard-working, never participated in their disputes, did not say who was right and who was wrong, but just used her own hard work to try to earn me more dowry. But I didn't expect that in the end, I used my dowry as tuition, and I stayed outside for several years. I broke off with my father because of this, and my mother didn't blame me for it. Later, my mother died of depression when I was admitted to university, and I didn't get to see my mother's last side after all! …… Later, I had an accident, and no one came to collect my body and handle the funeral, so that my soul could not leave safely. You've got it all! ”

"Ahem, don't feel too guilty, your choice is still right! I'm sure your mother will be very pleased! It's that your efforts are really a lot, no hesitation, and your courage is commendable! Wen Biquan coughed awkwardly, turned his gaze back and looked away, very sure of Mi Xiuzhu's choice, and a little distressed about Mi Xiuzhu's lack of fatherly love, cheering for her, "Now it seems that countless women who have gone out of the house have been liberated and have won a free way to survive for themselves, and this road is right." ”

Mi Xiuzhu smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "The road is right, but it is more difficult." This kind of hardship is unimaginable to ordinary people. ”

Mi Xiuzhu continued with full sadness: "Our newly born female group is like a little sheep that has been driven into the gladiatorial arena, a fresh, fresh and weak life, in the eyes of those large animals, it can only be a delicious prey!" Those who were able to survive this revolution became heroic examples of the change, and were remembered by future generations, and how many of those who died on the road were interested? Just like me. ”

Wen Biquan smiled weirdly: "You're okay, you're just an accident!" It's good that you were somehow kept by me, so don't feel sorry for yourself! Every society has its own way of survival, and it is full of hardships, so how can there be such a smooth and smooth road? ”

Wen Biquan persuaded for a while, then deliberately diverted the topic and continued to ask: "Then what happened to your distant brothers and sisters?" Is there a future? ”

Mi Xiuzhu squinted his eyes, fell into deep memories, and only spoke after a while: "There is an uncle who participated in the revolution in the early days and followed Zheng Zhenduo to engage in printing in Shanghai, but was somehow killed by the Kuomintang reactionaries. But then there was an older brother who was even better, the same age as me, and now I heard that he has been promoted to lieutenant general, and it is also the pride of our Mi family! ”

"Really? Which lieutenant general? Can I find out? Wen Biquan was excited again, his eyes were round, and he was about to use his mobile phone to check the information on the Internet.

"It should be able to find out, Mi Zhenyu was promoted to major general in 88 years, and he was promoted to lieutenant general in 93 years, it has been more than 20 years! I haven't been following him lately, just know he's good! Mi Xiuzhu said lightly.

Wen Biquan immediately jumped out of bed, opened his laptop and began to look up information about Mi Zhenyu on the Internet.

Ten minutes later, "That's true, so you still have such a background!" Wen Biquan finally threw away the computer and threw himself back on the bed, "Do you still want to go see his old man?" While he's still alive? ”

Mi Xiuzhu nodded with red eyes, "I don't dare to think if you don't say it, as soon as you say that, I really want to take a look, but how do I have to look at it?" ”
