Volume 1 Omei Oblique Rain Branches Chapter 11
The child may feel that his parents are born together, even if Rong often expresses his helplessness to get married, Ye Yin never asks anything. Ye Yin only knew that his father met his mother when he went to the city with a fellow villager to work and rented a side building from his grandmother's house.
However, my uncle drank too much a few times and said to Ye Yin in front of Yan, your father doesn't know how to confuse your mother, so you have to marry him. How many people with very good conditions liked your mother back then, and the son of their factory director liked her very much.
Uncle seems to think that his mother is not well married, and Ye Yin is very unhappy even though he is young when he hears this. What Ye Yin couldn't understand was that his mother didn't stop his uncle, but smiled. Uncle also said that if it weren't for your mother's ability to do things and your father step by step to the city, there might be no you. Grandma also said that before getting married, your father ate up all the hundreds of catties of food stamps that the family had saved. Rong didn't like to hear it, and said that it was also saved by me.
When he returned to Iehiko, he didn't say anything, and Rong knew that he wasn't very happy, so he said it was just a joke. Hikoko still didn't say anything. Rong is very uninteresting. Ye Yin looked at his parents suspiciously, and didn't know what to say. Uncle and grandmother's words, Ye Yin didn't understand.
Yan understands that although Rong marries him voluntarily, he still hopes that he knows that he is Gao Pan, so not only Rong himself says it, but if others think so, it proves that Rong is right.
Hiko also cooperated with Rong's vanity because he wanted his wife to be happy. But the favor that is fulfilled by degrading self-esteem must not last long.
It is not easy to choose what you love, and it is even more difficult to love what you choose. It's the same for everyone.
Hiko graduated from high school, and high school graduation in those days was considered somewhat literate. The factory originally wanted to transfer Yan to the sales department, but he was reluctant to go, and then wanted him to manage logistics, but he was still unwilling. Rong quarreled many times, and he couldn't agree with the reason Yan said, saying that no matter how good a carpenter is, he is also a carpenter, and it is better to manage people than to be managed, not to mention that people are moving forward, why can't they let go of the past.
But Hiko only wants to be a carpenter. Rong also had to admit that when he carved intently, his brow would stretch, calm and pleasant. But she was not reconciled. But there is nothing to be done, and the good-tempered Yan has a very stubborn bottom line.
Rong said helplessly, maybe it was wrong in the first place, I thought I could change you.
Many times, Ye Yin could feel it, and Hiko preferred to be in the company of his tools.
Hiko spends more time with them than he communicates with everyone.
A knife, Hiko tells Ha-yin that it is older than Ha-yin's age. The handle of the knife has long changed from a light wood color to a dark brown, and there are still some small scars and glue residues on it, which are traces of time and a record of companionship.
Ye Yin likes to touch the cocoon on Yan's hand. Hiko often smiled with satisfaction, and spread out his hands to let Ye Yin's small fingers run lightly.
Rong Chang said with a half-joking, half-sarcastic expression, if Ye Yin is not a carpenter's child, no one will believe it.
Hiko's hands are extremely skillful, no matter how ordinary a piece of wood is carved by the knife in his hand, it can always be transformed into a different look, as if it still has the vitality of the leafy branches.
Ye Yin seems to have inherited Hiko's love for trees, and her little hands always like to gently caress Hiko's works, carefully looking at those patterns that she understands or don't understand, with innate piety.
When Yan saw it, he touched Ye Yin's head, or hugged Ye Yin to look at it together, and Ye Yin lay on Yan 's chest and asked why his heart was pounding? Hiko said, because it is working with the hands.
When he grew up, Ye Yin thought that his father's knife must be his father's horse, which gave him the feeling of galloping. Ask Yan, Yan smiles, or my daughter understands me. Stop and say that when people reach a certain age, galloping is no longer important, it needs too many conditions. Of course, you're right, imagination can run wild. This is the most poetic thing Dad ever said.
Ye Yin remembered this scene many years later.
Every time Hiko carves, he forgets everything around him, even the shade of the leaves.
Ye Yin watched from the side, and always felt that his father at this time was very far away from him. But she liked it.
Hiko occasionally pulls the erhu when he is resting. I want to teach Ye Yin, but Ye Yin doesn't like to learn very much, so she doesn't pull very well, and Yan doesn't force her.
Sometimes Rong is on a business trip, and Hikoki forgets the time. When Hiko stopped, he suddenly realized that Ye Yin had not eaten after staying on the side for a long time, so he smiled at her apologetically and got up to cook for her. At this time, the father and daughter did not communicate verbally, but they were harmonious and warm.
The bracelet that Ye Yin was wearing was carved out for her by her father after such a meal.
The raw material of the bracelet is some leftovers. Hiko tells Ha-yin that all the wood is a gift from the forest and should not be wasted. Ye Yin quietly watched as the small pieces of wood turned into various shapes in Hiko's hands. The process is long and fun.
Rong's business trip allowed the father and daughter to spend a quiet time that they both enjoyed.
On the day Rong said that he would come back, Ye Yin sat down early in the afternoon at the mouth of the alley because there were always people sitting on the shiny big stone and waiting for Rong to come back. Sen led the boys to run around several alleys for many laps and came back, Ye Yin was still looking at the direction of the bus and was distracted, and was finally pulled home by Sen Gang.
In the evening, Yan came back from work and said that Rong called and said that she was going to come back two days late, Ye Yin secretly cried, but Yan still saw it and didn't say anything, just sighed.
