Chapter 3 The family is doomed, and the peach is jealous
Young people are like seedlings, flowers, and the rising sun, full of vigor and hope. What young person doesn't want to live happily ever after and have lofty ideals? What young person does not yearn for beautiful love and pursue true love? What young person has not had the experience of fighting hard to realize his ideals and love? However, in real life, not every beautiful ideal and love designed by young people can be realized as desired. In addition to subjective reasons, objective causes alone are also diverse and varied, and these objective causes are not something that everyone can predict, prevent, and overcome. This is just like a saying that people often say: "There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck." This is not superstitious thinking, but the development and change of objective things do not depend on people's subjective will and wishes. This is the dialectical materialism of Marxism, which says that objective things have their own laws of development.
In the third year of high school, Tao's father pulled a cart to the county seat to buy fertilizer, and it rained on the road, in order to protect the fertilizer, he took off his shirt to cover the fertilizer, but he caught a cold, and when he returned home, he caught a cold, fever and cough. Peach's mother cooked a few bowls of ginger soup for him to drink, and covered two quilts with sweat; The fever subsided, and I always felt sick to my stomach, and I was lazy and tired, and I didn't want to eat. His health was always not good, which affected his work, so he had to go to the village hospital to see a doctor, and he saw him twice. I first took cold medicine, but it didn't work, and then I took medicine that warms the stomach and nourishes the stomach, but it also doesn't work. I had no choice but to take a ride to the county hospital for treatment. But when I checked it, I was scared to death, and I was suffering from stomach cancer! He was stunned, and the whole family was stunned.
After Momo's father was shocked, he was silent for a while, and finally shook his head and said to his wife: "Forget it, no one can do anything about this disease, maybe I should be like this!" Since God has come to ask for his life, I will go with him, so as not to spend money on medical treatment at home. As soon as the words came out, he felt unbearable again, and sighed: "Alas! It's just that Peaches is so smart and strong, and she will definitely have a big future in the future, I didn't see her go to college with my own eyes, I'm really unwilling! After saying that, he shook his head again and again and sighed, reluctant and infinitely sad.
Momo's mother listened to the rain of tears, and she said with tears in her eyes, "Don't say this! Even if I sell out my house, I will cure your illness and keep you. Our whole family needs you! Peaches is about to take the university entrance examination, and her son is still young and needs to be taken care of, how can she leave you! She wiped away her tears and persuaded her husband: "I think that since God was kind enough to give us such a smart and beautiful pair of children, he would not be so ruthless to us." Your illness will be cured! ”
Tao also insisted on operating on his father, saying that now that medical skills are developed, medical conditions are good, and cancer is cured, at least he can accompany us for a few more years, watching me go to college and my younger brother grow up. The father was moved, and finally mustered up the hope of survival, and agreed with tears in his eyes, saying, "This is just a pain for you!" So Momo's mother did everything she had for the family and borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends to perform surgery on her husband.
The family kowtowed to the mountain god every day and prayed, hoping that Peach's father would get better from now on, and watched Peach be admitted to university, and the golden phoenix flew out of the spring breeze in the small mountain village; The son grew up, took over from his father, and supported the family. But God was not as merciful as they thought, and Momo's father finally did not escape this fate, and he struggled to survive for another half a year, but he still died.
Momo's mother was also completely disappointed, and she cried out and grief-stricken. The family lost its main labor force, and because Tao's father owed a lot of debts to relatives and neighbors for medical treatment, a well-off family became a poor household in the blink of an eye. Peach's mother was grief-stricken, and after thinking about it for a while, she said to Tao with tears in her eyes: "Child, your father is gone, the family has lost male labor, and he has left a butt account, so he relies on his mother to work in a woman's house, and he can't take care of the mountains in the fields, and he can't take care of the fields in the mountains, so it's good to earn food for the family, and there is no way for you to go to college." Child, accept your fate, destiny cannot be violated, God doesn't want to ask you to go to college, no matter how strong you are, it's useless. Seeing that I am about to graduate, I will finish high school, and I will be considered a cultural person in our spring breeze, so let's come back to help my mother work. In the future, our mother and son will work hard and train your younger brother to study, and maybe there will be people in our family who will go to college in the future. ”
Tao was very sad to listen to her mother's words, she really didn't want to drop out of school, she didn't want to leave Li, because her lofty ideals and beautiful love had just begun to take shape, and it had not yet become a reality, she was unwilling and unwilling to give up. However, looking at the mother who lost her husband and burst into tears, and the poor younger brother who lost his father at a young age, thinking about the actual situation of the family, the situation forced her to be helpless, she had to endure the heartache and tearfully agreed. Mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly, and comforted each other. Although Momo agreed, he still couldn't calm down in his heart. She thought of her oath and years of hard work, Li Hexing, and so many vigorous and motivated classmates in the class, they all have a bright future and sweet life in the future, but she has to stay in the mountains for the rest of her life to work hard, and her heart is very painful, but she doesn't dare to say it, for fear of hurting her mother's heart, so that she can't sleep all night. When I can't sleep, I think crankily. She was even more jealous of Xing, and thought indignantly: I was born in the spring breeze on the same day, why is my fate so bitter and so bad? The fate of apricots is so beautiful and so good? Could it be that God deliberately wants to break up me and Lee, leave the opportunity to Xing, and let Xing and Li be together forever? If this is really the case, God is too unfair and deceitful! I won't be reconciled to death, I can't agree, and I will fight to the end.
Tao can't do without Lee, because Li is her closest, trusted, and relied on companion since she was a child, and the closest and most beloved person. She has thought more than once that she will always be with Li in this life, accompany her for life, and grow old together. However, the reality in front of us is about to shatter the beautiful ideal and turn it into nothing. She further thought: I went home to farm, dealing with the mountains and forests every day, Li and Xing continued to study together, enterprising, falling in love, and after a long time, Li would forget me, forget the past, and only love Xing. What will I do in the future if I lose Lee? Who do you rely on in this life and this life? How to survive? Does it make me watch them fly together, with lofty goals, bright futures, and live happily together, but I am disheartened, lonely, and die alone in the barren mountains and mountains? Thinking of the future, she shed tears of pain and despair again and again, jealous of Xing's good fate, complaining about God's injustice, resenting her bad fate, bad family luck, and disaster. However, she is a girl who has been trained and raised in the mountains since she was a child, and has a stubborn personality, the power of love, her stubborn character, and her uneven mentality make her easily unwilling to admit defeat, unwilling to admit fate, unwilling to give up her ideals, unwilling to leave Li, at a critical moment, she is determined to challenge fate, fight to the death for love, and fight to the end.
It was Lee's birthday, and Xing bought a big greeting card for him, which read: "Lee, I wish you a happy birthday, be aggressive, make progress every day, maintain vitality forever, and stay young forever!" May Li Xing be fragrant and bathe in the spring breeze! Xing wrote the greeting card and personally handed it to Li's hand, looking at Li affectionately, the autumn waves flowing, his face was full of happiness and charm, and his affection was infinite. Li naturally understood what Xing meant, he took the greeting card, read it carefully, tasted it carefully, his heart was as sweet as eating honey, he held her hand tightly and said, "Xing, thank you!" I will always remember your blessing and strive to make it a reality and share happiness with you. When it comes to your birthday, I will also buy a big greeting card for you with my wishes and blessings. ”
Li didn't forget to show off the greeting card to Peach, and the sweetness was overflowing. Momo looked at the greeting card that Xing gave to Lee, and although she said words of congratulations and blessings, she felt very sad. She pondered the inscription of the apricot repeatedly: "Li apricot is fragrant and bathes in the spring breeze." "The peach, plum, apricot and spring breeze family, the trinity, is inseparable. You are "fragrant and bathed in the spring breeze", what should you do if you leave me? Do you want me to watch you live happily together, and let me cry alone "until dawn"? It's so cruel, it's so unfair! I don't agree, I don't reconcile, I must not let you succeed! Thinking further, she felt that Xingju had a bad heart, not only did she not sympathize with her father's death and the family's suffering, but she was also gloating, taking advantage of the fire to rob, taking the opportunity to defeat her, and trying to possess Li alone. She hated Xing's ruthless and sinister intentions so much that she couldn't swallow this breath, and she didn't feel jealousy burning and rising. She could no longer bear this humiliation, and was determined to retaliate against her by taking revenge on her by fighting for a tooth for a tooth. After some thinking and deliberation, a complete revenge plan was formulated.
Apricot left, and Tao said to Lee, "I want to congratulate you on your birthday too, I have an even bigger gift for you." I hope that the peach and plum spring breeze will be a family, for a lifetime, with the spring breeze, and share happiness! Lee was equally pleased, saying, "Of course." Taoli Xingchun family, the three of us were born in the same village in the same year, went to school together and grew up, and we have never been separated. You and Xing are my best classmates and friends, I have a birthday, how can I miss your blessings? What gift? Take it out and give it to me! Tao looked left and right, and whispered: "My gift is big, and there are many people in the school, so I'm embarrassed to take it." I left the gift outside the school, and you can pick it up yourself after school. When the time comes, I will definitely give you an even bigger surprise. Li couldn't understand and asked, "Where to get it?" Momo didn't answer immediately, she smiled and wrote the address to him.
Li took a look and saw that it was "Warm Hostel No. 11". He gripped the note, pondering and wondering. He stared straight at the peach with both eyes, still a pink peach blossom, fresh and charming. He couldn't believe it, and he couldn't help it, because Peach had never deceived him. I thought to myself: what kind of gift should I put in the hostel? I also thought, there must be a reason for her to put it in the hostel, didn't she say, the gift is big, and I am afraid that other students will be embarrassed to see it when I bring it to the school? She has a lot of ghosts, ingenuity, and so many tricks to give a birthday gift.
Seeing Li hesitate, Tao thought that Li had already seen her thoughts and was reluctant to go, but her face was full of crimson, and she said angrily: "Don't believe it? Then don't go, lest you be deceived. But I want to remind you: if you lose this opportunity today, don't regret it in the future, don't say that I didn't give you a birthday gift for your birthday. After saying that, he turned around and left, without looking back, looking very angry.
Lee was stunned. I thought: My birthday, only peach and apricot know, remember it, and give me gifts on time every year. How can you doubt the good intentions of others? I accepted the gift of apricots, how can I not accept the gift of peaches? Momo says her gift is big, and it must be a birthday cake. It's really inconvenient to bring that thing to school, and the classmates don't talk about eating the cake, but they will joke with him with peaches and spread it, how embarrassing! In addition, Apricot knows that it will also be jealous. It's that Momo is thoughtful. Thinking about it like this, he felt that he had misunderstood Peach's kindness, and hurriedly chased after him and explained:
"Peach, don't be angry! Who said they didn't believe you anymore? What words of yours have I not believed all these years? You wait for me, I'll go with you to get it as soon as school is over, and feel the surprise you give me. ”
"Love doesn't go. People are well-intentioned, but you are treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, how can you make people not angry? Momo still looked angry, but her language had softened a lot.
"How so? I'm not stupid, I'm not stupid, for so many years, you have been good to me, I still don't know? Don't worry, didn't I say that I'll go as soon as school is over. Go by all means! ”
After listening to Li's confession, Tao was satisfied and relieved. She smiled and nodded, looked at him affectionately, and advised: "Don't forget, hurry up, don't delay, delay the afternoon class!" ”
"Okay." Li hurriedly agreed. Just about to leave, he thought of the apricot, and called the peach and said:
"I'll invite Xing to go together, the three of them will play together, and it will be more lively."
Tao immediately changed her face when she heard this, and said coldly: "I'm celebrating your birthday alone, and I don't want to invite others." If you want to invite her, I won't participate. ”
"Don't! You're gone, who's going to celebrate my birthday? Today you host, who you invite, you are in charge. I'm just suggesting, and if you don't agree, I didn't say it. ”
Li Jiantao was unhappy, so he had to give up. He knew in his heart that in recent years, Peach and Apricot have grown up, and they both love him in their hearts, so true, so pure, that they can't mix it with any sand, so sometimes they can't help but be jealous for him. He also loved them deeply, and they all loved them so deeply, that if he wanted to divide them, who he loved the most, and who he loved second, it was like dividing his heart, his flesh, it was too painful, too difficult, too unbearable. There was no way, he had to take the method of dividing and loving, that is, when he was good to the peach, he didn't let the apricot know, and when he was good to the apricot, he didn't let the peach know. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and sometimes they still can't help but know it, so they resent each other for ulterior motives, and say that he is partial. In order to love, he had to reconcile in every possible way, appeased both sides, saying that they were all classmates, walking out of a mountain valley, playing together from childhood to adulthood, thinking about each other more when talking and doing things, don't just think about yourself, respect each other, forgive each other, don't suspect each other, and complain about each other. But where do they listen? They all fired at him, saying that he had two boats on his feet and had bad intentions, and that he often had to endure some grievances.
Li came from school to invite Peach to go to the Warm Hotel to get a gift, but he couldn't find Peach, and it was inconvenient to make a noise, so he was anxious, so he looked around to find it. Xing saw Li's eager look, thinking that he had something urgent to do, so she hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's the matter with you?" Do you want me to help? Li knew that Tao was going to celebrate his birthday alone, and Xing was not welcome to go, so he hurriedly said, "I'm waiting for the male classmate in the dormitory." Nothing else. Go and rest. Xing looked at Li for a while in confusion, and saw that he didn't have anything important, so she had to go back to the dormitory for a lunch break. Li couldn't find Peach anywhere, so he thought that Peach had gone to the hotel first. Thinking of Tao's misunderstanding and advice to her in the morning, he was afraid that she would be angry again when he was late, and complained about him, so he was even more anxious, and when Xing walked away and couldn't see it, he quietly left the school alone, quickly rushed to the warm hostel, found room 11, and hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
