In my childhood, that's all I can remember. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The life after info was unusually peaceful, as if God was deliberately sheltering him.

Time flies, and it's six years later.

In 1991, my cousin and I entered the same high school, Luoyang No. 3 Middle School at the foot of the mountain, and we were in the same grade and different classes.

I had nothing to do at home on the weekend, so I pulled a book from my mother's bookshelf and flipped through it, and when I was about to fall asleep, my cousin suddenly ran over.

"Gee, when did you become so interested in learning?" As soon as he entered the door, his cousin became sarcastic.

"You think I'm just like you!" I smashed the book down.

"Oh, you still watch "Women's Life"!"

"I'm looking at the brain teaser above, what do you think......" I'm a little embarrassed, my mother often asks me to guess the brain teaser above, I want to see it first and then show off.

"What's so nice about brain teasers, guess what I'm taking?"

I saw my cousin holding a box in his arms, so I snatched it up.

"Guess what, what's mysterious?" I opened it up as I spoke.

It was a Nintendo's red and white machine, and I had only heard it from my classmates at the time, and it was the first time I saw it.

"Where did you get this game console, how do you play it?"

"The blind man's father brought it back from work in the field yesterday, and he made a bet with me in the morning that he lost to me!" The cousin looked proud, "But I'll play with it and give it back to him." ”

"What are you two betting?"

"He said I didn't dare to jump from the balcony on the second floor of his house!"

I looked down to see a big cut on the leg of my cousin's new school uniform, and I stretched out my thumb at him and said, "You're such a!" ”

I remember when I was a child, we slept on the roof, my cousin deliberately stepped on the edge of the water pipe to show me, but I didn't expect the water pipe to rust and loose, and fell down, and when I ran down, he had already walked to the door, with blood on his head, and went to the hospital to check a few stitches, but there was nothing wrong with him. The blind man dares to bet on the newly bought game console, he really doesn't know his cousin.

The blind man was a classmate of his cousin in high school, his home was in our neighboring village, and his family drove a crane, which was considered a rich second-generation class at that time.

The blind man is not really blind, I remember that when the new students were enrolled, my cousin and I had just walked into the school gate, and a boy with a comb in the middle of the hair rushed in on a brand-new flying pigeon bicycle, whistling and ringing the bell, and hit his head on the pine tree at the gate.

At that time, the school gate was full of students, and this person was very embarrassed to pick up the bicycle and ride into the campus crookedly, it seemed that the handlebar was at least 30 degrees crooked, and many female students present couldn't hold back their laughter.

Two days later, the man stumbled into the pine tree in almost the same way, knocking off a large chunk of its bark. The principal came to the class and scolded: "Are you blind this classmate, my tree recruited you to provoke you?" You're going to have to lose money to me tomorrow! ”

The class burst into laughter, and from then on everyone called him blind.

My cousin and I spent two hours fiddling with the game that day, and the two of us scrambled to play the game on my black and white TV.

When I was having fun, my father suddenly pushed open the door in a hurry, walked into the back room and said a few words to my mother, who was writing a lesson plan, and the two walked out together, and heard my mother whisper, "Will it be the same as last time?" ”

My cousin and I stood up, and I asked curiously, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

My father looked at the game console and said, "Stop playing, your aunt is gone." ”

My cousin and I looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly remembered the shadow in my heart when I was a child. At this time, my husband and sister-in-law also came in from outside, and we walked together to my uncle's house.

On the way I asked, "When did this happen?" ”

The father said, "Three days ago. ”

I patted my cousin, who seemed to be still immersed in the game, thinking about how to get through the level. This is also normal, after all, distant relatives really have little affection for our generation.

When I arrived at my uncle's house, the three uncles were there, and there was a strange man, dressed a little sloppily, with a very serious hunchback, with a smoky face, as if he hadn't woken up, and there was a little girl standing beside him, about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in stark contrast to the man.

"Sister, here!" The man said to his mother.

"Hmm...... Why did it take three days for you to talk about this aunt? ”

The man lowered his head, his lips moved and stopped, and his face was dull and yellow, as if he had been covered with a layer of wax.

The uncle came over and greeted, "Let's go into the house first!" ”

As when I was a child, my cousin and I were separated again, and the man pulled the little girl over and said, "You and your two brothers will play in the yard first, right?" ”

"Okay!"

The girl wore two pigtails and wore a pink sweatshirt that was fashionable at the time, looking innocent.

The man nodded at us, and my cousin and I nodded as well.

When the man entered the house, the cousin grabbed the girl's braid and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The girl looked at her cousin with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "My name is Li Lili!" ”

"What?"

"Li Lili!"

The girl speaks standard Mandarin, and her words and deeds reveal cuteness, which is really rare for my cousin and me, who grew up in the mountains.

"Mile mile? Haha, are you a bell? My cousin almost burst out laughing, and the bell on the sophomore bike was the sound of miles.

I couldn't help but say, "Then call you Little Bell!" ”

"Okay!" The girl looked at us and blinked.

In the face of such a lovely little girl, my cousin and I scrambled to ask for a word.

"How old is Little Bell?"

"Twelve."

"Was that your dad just now?"

"It's my uncle!"

"Why didn't your mom and dad come?"

"Dead!" The little bell looked as if nothing had happened, and waved the tie on his collar with his head down.

I looked at my cousin, and my cousin looked at me, and I didn't know what to say for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

At this time, the little bell suddenly raised his head, looked at us with a smile and said, "You two are Chen Tu and Zhu Hong's elder brothers!" ”

We were surprised at the same time, "How do you know?" ”

The little bell smiled and shook her head at us, pretending to be very mysterious. At this moment, my father suddenly called us into the house, and the little bell followed suit.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard my mother say, "Ten years ago, my aunt was about to seal the coffin, and she can still come back to life." ”

The man sat on the side and kept coughing, as if his lungs were about to cough out, and said intermittently: "That's why I came to inform you three days later." ”

We went straight to my father, who looked at the bell and said, "Oh, who's such a beautiful girl!" What's your name? ”

"Her name is Little Bell!" My cousin said with a grin.

"Who asked you kid? Go aside! The father glared at his cousin, who couldn't hold back his laughter.

"My name is Li Lili!" The little bell replied cutely.

"Yo! You're such a little bell! My father pursed his lips as he spoke, and he wanted to laugh too.

The little bell stood there giggling.

At this time, the man got up and walked over, and said to us in front of everyone: "In the future, I will entrust you to take care of Li'er, I am not in good health, let her live here......"

In a blink of an eye, he said to the little bell: "These two are your own cousins, you must be obedient in the future!" ”

"Hmmm! I know, this is Brother Zhu Hong, this is Brother Chen Tu! The little bell pointed to us one by one.

The man coughed and said, "Oh, so you already know each other, so that's good." ”

My cousin and I stood there in confusion, nodding our heads and unable to utter a word.

When we went out, the little bell stood on tiptoe and whispered in our ear: "Grandma said before leaving, let me come to Bishan to find Chen Tu and Brother Zhu Hong." ”

My cousin and I were stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand a little bit.

It was boring to stay in the yard, the adults seemed to talk endlessly, my cousin was anxious to play games, we said hello to my father and went home, and the little bell followed.

In the evening, when my father and mother came home, my cousin and I gave the little bell the gamepad and watched her have a great time, so we went into my parents' room. There are too many questions in her heart, but no one wants to ask the little bell about it, and she doesn't want to disturb her innocent heart.

Now that we are all grown up, my mother has no shy time to say:

"The man who came today is Lily's father and your aunt's only son. For as long as I can remember, everyone has lived in your grandmother's old compound. After the end of the Cultural Revolution, Lily's father and I were the only two people in the village who were admitted to university, he had better grades than me, and after graduation he was assigned to work in the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, so he moved into the city with your aunt. You've been there once when you were a year old, and you don't remember it anymore.

At that time, he was a well-known educated youth in the township, strong and handsome, and people kept coming to his house to talk about matchmaking. A year after he got married, he was transferred to the archaeological brigade of Xigong District, and he contracted a strange illness during an exploration activity in Shijiagou Village, Bishan Town......"

My cousin looked at me and said, "Shi Jiagou, I went to that village to play with the blind man in the morning!" ”

I made a shut-up gesture to my cousin.

The mother was immersed in her own thoughts and continued without pause: "On the third day after he came back from Shijiagou, he woke up in the morning, and suddenly his whole body was like cotton and he couldn't sit up, and after he was sent to the hospital, he never found out the cause of the disease, no matter what the doctor or anyone asked him about what happened that day, he said that he didn't know.

At that time, Lily's mother was in labor, and he was forcibly discharged from the hospital a few days later, and since then his waist can no longer straighten, and he often can't sleep at night with pain. Your aunt really couldn't help it, so she found someone to get some marijuana to relieve his pain, and the effect was very good, and he was much more energetic during that time.

Unexpectedly, over time, he actually contracted to hide, and secretly planted marijuana in the yard, and he had to put some in it before he was willing to eat, and he never smoked, and he smoked directly......"

Mother sighed deeply at this.

"In 1983, when they cracked down, Lao Song of their unit reported him for a bag of millet, and they all said that it was a personal vendetta in the communiqué. When he was taken away, Lily was not yet three years old, and your grandmother was able to save his life by relying on her connections, and the sentence was indefinite.

Lily's mother cried and wanted to take Lily out of the house, and your aunt forcibly left the child, which was exactly what she wanted, and then Lily's mother remarried someone else and has not been heard from since.

At that time, the folk customs were simple, and anyone who had something happened would affect the whole family, and your aunt felt that she couldn't stay here anymore, so she took Lily to your uncle's hometown Yanshi overnight, and left a letter for your grandmother when she left, saying that there were relatives over there to take care of her, and she just wanted to take Lilian for the rest of her life, and hoped that she would have less contact in the future. ”

"I remember ten years ago when you said my aunt and her......," I interrupted my mother eagerly, a question that had been buried in my mind for six years.

"You have a really good memory! At that time, you were all young, and all these adults deliberately hid it from you. ”

After smiling, my mother's expression became solemn again, and she said, "A month after your aunt left, a person from Yanshi's side came to your grandmother's old courtyard and said that your aunt was seriously ill, and I am afraid that she was dying, and she was shouting all night to see your grandmother, and the situation was urgent.

When we arrived with your grandmother, your aunt was already out of gas, your grandmother presided over the overall situation, chose to bury on the same day, and after the funeral, everyone folded ingots in the yard, and suddenly heard a long cough in the lobby, everyone hurriedly walked over to see, only to see your aunt's eyes wide open and trying to sit up, at that time I and your aunt were scared to tremble. ”

At this, my mother shuddered.

"Your father was so bold that he lifted the lid of the coffin, and there was black and red blood on it, and your aunt said that she was hungry and wanted to eat mutton dumplings.

Afterwards, everyone said that your aunt missed her son and couldn't take her last breath. This life is ten years, but I didn't expect Lily and his father to really ...... not long after she came back Alas! ”

"Did Lily's dad just come out? Why did you want Lily to follow us? The cousin asked, puzzled.

"Now that the policy standards are relaxed, he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer a few days ago and has just been released. Alas...... What's the use of saying this, this life is the end. The mother sighed repeatedly.

The mother touched her eyes and got up and went to the kitchen. My cousin and I stood for a long time, and I couldn't tell what I felt in my heart. Since childhood, he has lived happily under the protection of his parents, and he has no idea what is happening around him.

Years later, I realized that my mother didn't know the whole thing.
