Chapter 27 Joy Words
Two days before Shao Ping's wedding, Ms. Jin brought several young teachers from the school, including Fang Ruohua, to visit her home.
In June, the summer heat is unbearable, even in the evening, because there is no wind, Mr. Jin's round and chubby face fell big beads of sweat, Fang Ruohua is okay, she was not afraid of heat before, her body is warm in winter and cool in summer, even her sister Xuanxuan, a big beauty with big breasts and a thin waist, envy her physique, often saying that she is loved by God and does not let her suffer, in fact, of course it is not so exaggerated, but it is more heat-resistant to true.
said it was Shao Ping's home, but it was actually 'in-law's house'.
Shao Ping's husband Li Zhi, who died of illness, also studied in middle school earlier, and can afford to read, of course the Li family is not very poor, there are more than 20 acres of land, and the rent earned by leasing it out is enough for the family to live.
Fang Ruohua arrived at the door of Li's house, the word "happy" was pasted on the door of Li's house, it was obviously cleaned inside and out, clean and clean, Shao Ping's mother-in-law was wearing an old-style cheongsam, her face was powdered, her eyebrows were very thin, and the corners of her mouth brought out a kind smile.
"Ouch, your guests are coming, you are coming to the door, I didn't expect the gentlemen of Yangcheng University to be able to step on the ground, come to me, please come in, Ping'er is in the house, thank you so much for your care."
was so polite, what Teacher Jin was going to say was held in her throat, and her face was flushed.
After a while, Shao Ping also walked out, her face was not happy, she didn't look worried, she was faintly a little worried, and it was okay to say that every bride was worried before she got married.
When she saw a few teachers, her eyes lit up, and she smiled so hard that she showed a few small broken teeth, and her whole body was full of joy.
Teacher Jin didn't know what to say for a while, but he gritted his teeth for a while, and said in a low voice: "Shao Ping, now you don't pay attention to arranged marriages, marriage is free, if you want, you can leave the teacher, and the teacher will arrange a job for you in the school." ”
Shao Ping was stunned for a moment, turned around to look at her mother-in-law, the mother-in-law of the Li family was also stunned, frowned, her expression was very ugly, and said angrily: "This gentleman, what are you talking about, what I found for Ping'er is a good family, Master Xu in the east of the city, that is a grain merchant, this world, how can you not make money in grain trading, Ping'er married into a serious second room, and she has a son to rely on for the rest of her life, don't give us Ping'er those bad ideas, after this village, where to find this temple in the future!" ”
Teacher Jin trembled with anger: "She is only fourteen, and the Master Xu you said is fifty years old this year." ”
"What's wrong with fifty, I don't know how much I love my daughter-in-law when I'm older."
The mother-in-law of the Li family lost her flattery at this time, her expression was very calm, and she reached out and stroked Shao Ping's hair, "A few gentlemen, I am good for Ping'er, she has been in my family for a year, virtuous and virtuous, and she is also very capable, I don't want to delay her, so I found someone for her, you can ask Ping'er, what is wrong with her?" I was reluctant to let her do the work in the field, so I cooked and cooked, washed and washed clothes, I was not hungry or thirsty for her, this time Master Xu gave her dowry, I took half of it to Ping'er as a dowry, and the remaining half was going to buy another wife for my son, so that he could have someone to take care of him in the underworld, and don't worry about Ping'er. ”
Mr. Jin and the other teachers looked at each other.
Shao Ping's eyes were a little red and her body was stiff, but she nodded: "My mother-in-law is very good to me." ”
Fang Ruohua didn't speak since he came into the house, the live broadcast room was originally very lively, and gradually no one spoke.
Teacher Jin wanted to say something, Shao Ping suddenly raised her head: "Teacher, I know you are good for me, but my mother-in-law is good to me, better than my father, I used to be at home, my father and mother did not allow me to read and write, and I went to the field every day to take care of my younger brother, my eldest sister suddenly disappeared the year before last, I know, it must be my father and mother who sold her, I, I am luckier than my eldest sister, my mother-in-law said, I look like this, small families can't support it, and if it's a little bigger, it will cause trouble, and only when I enter the door of a big family can I keep safe." ”
The teachers could no longer speak.
Fang Ruohua's chest was suffocated, in the novel, she only read about the wind and snow, but in reality, the so-called wind and snow are so small.
She reached out and grabbed Shao Ping's hand, chuckled, took out a particularly heavy gold bracelet from her sleeve, put it on her hand, leaned over and lowered her voice: "You said that you want to live and remember this sentence forever...... Also, one day when you suddenly feel that you have the courage to change your life, go to Fangjiazhuang to find me, don't dare to say anything else, I may not be able to help all the girls in the world, but I still have the strength to help you. ”
Shao Ping's eyes were rosy, and she bit her lip and smiled: "Mr. is a good person, and gentlemen are all good people." ”
Before Teacher Jin came to Li's house, she even thought about finding someone to snatch Shao Ping away, even if she was accused, she was not afraid, but when she really came to Li's house and saw Shao Ping, she dispersed in one breath.
What else could she do? People help self-helpers, that child accepts his fate, is willing to obey, and others can't do whatever they want!
When Fang Ruohua got home, she couldn't help but tell Xia Fen about it, Xia Fen was silent for a long time, and just sighed: "It will take many, many years before the girls' minds may change, don't think about it." ”
"Hmm."
Fang Ruohua went back to the study, spread out the pen and paper, and wanted to write something, write a story about the girls who strive for self-improvement.
As for Shao Ping, she thought, although she told the child that if she wanted to change, she would come to her, but she didn't know whether she wanted or didn't want the child to come to her, if she didn't find it, then she would probably only be the second wife of a rich and noble family for the rest of her life, and her only duty was to give birth to children for others, but that also meant that she had not despaired.
Fang Ruohua spread out his notebook and wrote on it seriously-"Do you let people sink in the dark, or do you want to be the one who awakens everyone?" ”
She suddenly thought of the preface of Lu Xun's "The Scream" - "If an iron house is windowless and difficult to break, and there are many sleeping people in it, they will soon suffocate to death, but from sleep to death, they do not feel the sorrow of death." Do you think you are worthy of the cry of the more sober men, and the irremediable suffering of this unfortunate few? ”?
"But since a few people have risen, you can't say that there is no hope of destroying this iron house."?
Fang Ruohua could not understand this paragraph better than now.
She may not be the one who wakes everyone up, but she may be able to wake up one or two and rescue one or two!
There are many people in this world who are in deep suffering, men, women, the elderly, children. As a woman, she naturally pities the girl more, and there is not much she can save, but what she can see and imagine in front of her, she stretches out her hand, just for her own peace of mind.
For several days, Fang Ruohua was in the house pondering words in addition to class, and his life was a bit dark.
Mr. Lu read a few short stories she wrote recently, all of which were short and concise, full of ironic stories, written about women at the moment, and did not say anything bad, but just sighed: "Okay, let's send it." ”
With Mr. Lu intervening, Fang Ruohua has a small column on Freedom Talk, sometimes posting some articles, sometimes some new style poems, and sometimes some comments, about current politics and folk customs.
Almost in a short time, Fang Sanmei couldn't finish reading the letter she received, and Mr. Lu suggested that she hire a few assistants.
