Text: Lazy girl

The lazy lady has been dead for twenty years!

Lazy Niang, an ordinary housewife in a neighboring village, is famous for being lazy in our area. Whenever the old people mention her, they always call her "lazy woman" with disdain, and when the younger ones mention her, they always grit their teeth and collapse into a "lazy woman", and the children always love to call her "lazy girl".

This time I returned to my hometown, just in time for the 20th anniversary of the lazy girl's festival, and people were saying to each other as if relieved and regretful: "She is dead after all!" It's been 20 years since she died, this frustrated daughter-in-law, why did she take away such a big man! ”

I came and sat in the old crowd and listened to their chatter. finally figured out the root of the old people's contempt for lazy girls.

The lazy lady contracted polio as a child, leaving a crippled leg and a short arm. When I was twenty years old, no one was willing to marry Ming Media (in that era, I was an old girl at the age of twenty, and I was quite criticized for not marrying), and my parents were worried every day.

One day, the magpie reported good news, and the matchmaker finally brought good news, saying that a twenty-nine-year-old young offspring was willing to marry a disabled lazy lady as his wife. In the later life, he was a widowed son, and his widowed mother depended on each other, and he was a well-known filial son in ten miles and eight towns. Although he had the strength to make a living, his father, who died early, was left with only a circle of medicine debts and an open-air adobe house, and the life of the mother and son was also quite difficult, so no girl from any family was willing to marry him. Under the matchmaker's best efforts, the next day, the lazy girl took a foreign car (bicycle) borrowed from the afterlife and came to her future home. The two kowtowed three times to the tearful widowed mother together, which can be regarded as officially married.

After getting married, Housheng moved out of the adobe house and lived with his daughter-in-law in a shack built with his buddies not far from his mother. Every day, I still go out early and return late, finish the work of the production team, do some odd jobs, and come back from work, although I am tired, but whenever I see my mother and daughter-in-law one by one, sweetly nibbling the white buns I brought back, my face is like a ripe flower bone, slowly blooming.

But luck didn't favor the young man for long. When I came back from work one day, I went to my mother's room, and I saw my mother, who was nearly fifty years old, sighing and sighing, and the clouds covered her face. When I asked, I found out that during the day, my mother visited the house, and the sisters were chatting about how their daughters-in-law washed and cooked, served the old and young, and exchanged housekeeping experiences with each other. Listening to it sourly: The son of a talented person who has worked so hard to pull up, he goes out early and returns late every day, and he should support himself, but what can he do with the cripple? I have to cook and serve her to eat and drink every day. Later, I don't know who talked a lot, and asked her to talk about how she was a mother-in-law. I don't know if I want to laugh at her!

The young man comforted his mother and returned to his shack, where his daughter-in-law was drinking water from a teapot. When he saw him return, he hurriedly stood up. Looking at the stretched leg and the shrunken arm, he felt so dazzling for the first time. "You're back!" Attentiveness didn't change his mood in the slightest. "Hmm", he fell asleep with his head down.

The next morning, he faintly heard a mournful cry. I hurriedly got dressed and went to my mother's room, where I saw the old mother lying on the bed, crying and whining. He was frightened, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong? But the old mother pointed at him and scolded: "What kind of life have I created!" I was widowed within a year of entering your house, serving my in-laws, pulling you up, and when you are old, you have to be an old mother...... Oh my God......"

It was the first time he saw his mother so sad, and he was at a loss, and his heart seemed to have revived from a sleeping volcano. Yes, that's it, that's it!

When I turned around and returned to the house, I saw her snoring in the bed, and I felt disgusted, so I slapped the lazy girl on the back, "Get up, you lazy seed!" The lazy lady was in pain for a while, and sat up suddenly, as if she didn't understand what was happening.

The mother's cry came loudly again: "How hard do I still live, this life is the life of a cow and a horse......"

The volcano's magma erupted!

He pulled up the lame mother-in-law with short arms and legs, and punched her head and face. until the neighbors, who had been attracted by the shrill cry of the lazy thing, pulled them away.

The neighbors came and comforted the bride who had been married for more than three months; The old mother also came, and grabbed him who was angry, "You fool, is it easy for me to marry you a daughter-in-law?" It doesn't matter if I'm tired or tired, you have to have a good time......"

"Ah, why is this daughter-in-law sobbing!" Immediately, there was a panic in the crowd. After a while, the patriarch came with the village doctor, the village doctor shook his head, and everyone found a board car and pulled the lazy girl to the township health center.

The lazy lady miscarried......

When the parents of the lazy mother heard the news, they asked the villagers to take their mother home quietly, knelt in front of the thunderous parents-in-law with a handful of snot and tears, opened the bow left and right, repented of their impulses and sins, and swore that they would never beat the lazy mother again. Under the assurance of the patriarch, the persuasion of everyone that "the leaves fall under the roots" and the sincere kneeling of the descendants, the parents-in-law finally agreed to let her go back to her mother-in-law's house when the lazy mother took care of her body.

The lazy lady is back! The old mother and the offspring, who had been nervous for a month, breathed a long sigh of relief.

After coming back, the lazy lady seems to have become much more diligent. Every day, in addition to three meals, it is also handy to sprinkle and sweep the court.

The future seems to feel more sorry for the lazy girl. In addition to returning from work to give the lazy lady an identical white bun with her mother, occasionally, she will also give her a head rope or a flower handkerchief ......, and the lazy lady's face gradually has a glow.

Another year passed, their son was born, and at night after dinner, there were always bursts of laughter in this humble courtyard, but the old mother, who had been upgraded to grandmother, did not seem to be very happy.

At noon that day, the old mother cooked a meal, glanced at the lazy girl, and said, "Give birth to a child, hold a child, meritorious, I have cooked a meal, eat ready-made!" The lazy lady was angry, and replied: "I watched the children feed the chickens and ducks, and they were not idle!" "What's the matter, the child you gave birth to is still wronged? You don't need to look at my child! The old mother said, stretched out her hand to grab the child, the lazy mother stumbled, fell to the mother-in-law, and the three generations of grandparents fell to the ground together. The child fell to the side and cried, and the mother-in-law was pressed by the lazy mother and pulled her arms and stomach, so the family cried. The neighbors rushed to pick up the lazy lady who climbed from her mother-in-law to her son's side, and while carrying her mother-in-law to the bed, she comforted the old man who was crying heartbroken.

The day finally got dark. The mother-in-law was still lying on the bed, and the lazy mother skillfully tied her son to the bed, prepared dinner, picked up her son and waited anxiously for her husband to come home.

"Knock-knock-knock......" There was a sound of heavy footsteps walking towards the adobe house. The tears of the old mother who were lying down suddenly flowed into a stream, and the lazy mother tied her son again, lifted the lid of the pot and prepared to serve the meal. When the door opened, the husband came to the bed with a gust of wind, glanced at the mother with tears rippling in his eyes, took three steps and made two steps, grabbed the lazy girl and fell to the ground heavily, flew up with a kick, and the lazy girl rolled out of the door, "Today I beat you to death a cheap thing!" I don't beat you, you dare to hit my mother! It's spread all over the village, you dare to beat her with my mother, I have to beat you to death today......" The angry Hou Sheng then jumped out of the door, like a bag, pouring out his anger with all his might! The kind and enthusiastic neighbors have finally pulled off their next life with great effort. Hou Sheng scolded with hatred, and then looked at the lazy girl, her head was covered with blood, and she was curled up and trembling. The pot also exploded in the house, and the howls of the old mother and the crying of the children came and went.

"The old patriarch is here!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and in an instant, in the noisy night, there was no sound, and the child seemed to feel something unusual, only a slight sob.

The old patriarch with an angry face took his wife to the lazy lady who was already sobbing, "Alas-" sighed, he ordered several women to carry the lazy girl into the shack, take turns to take care of it, turned around and snorted to the latter and snorted "go", so the latter went to the patriarch's house in the arms of a group of men. The patriarch's wife let the rest of the group disperse, shook her head, and walked into the adobe house.

The woman on the bed stood up on her side and said, "His aunt ......."

The patriarch's wife walked quickly to the bed, looked at the baby who was eating the woman's fingers with relish, and said, "Her aunt, is there nothing wrong with her body?" You see that the eldest nephew is in his thirties, and he married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a grandson for us, so why are we not satisfied! ”

"Alas, his aunt, you don't know that my family is difficult. Your nephew is not blessed, he looks good and capable, just his short-lived father left early, see now my son is tired and tired every day to support the family, don't talk about marrying a lame man, the lame man is still lazy and greedy and can't live, every day I want to buy this and buy that...... "The woman said aggrieved.

"His aunt, if your daughter-in-law is gone today, not to mention anything else, my eldest nephew won't even have a lame daughter-in-law. Why don't we look at it, just look at your little grandson, others have a mother, but he hasn't even had a mother since he was a child! ”

The woman looked down at her little grandson, who was sucking her finger.

"His aunt, if the mother's family knows that the girl is beaten like this in our family, our little grandson may not necessarily keep you at home, let alone a daughter-in-law......"

……

After the patriarch's wife left, the old woman's health was miraculously better. Filled a bowl of gruel, sent it to the shack, glanced at the daughter-in-law who had been scrubbed clean on the bed with the help of the junior daughters-in-law, and turned back to the billet room.

In the middle of the night, Hou Sheng returned home in a daze, picked up his sleeping son from his mother's room, and returned to the shack. sent his sister-in-law and daughter-in-law out of the door, knelt down in front of his daughter-in-law, and begged his daughter-in-law to forgive him for his son's sake......

A woman's heart is finally softened because of the child. The lazy lady lay down for half a month, and this matter was over.

The days are bumpy and bumpy, but they can go by day by day. In a blink of an eye, her son is five years old, and the lazy mother can skillfully carry water, feed pigs, raise horses, and do farm work to earn a share of the work...... It's just that the dissatisfaction is that in the past few years, the second son died at birth, and had two miscarriages in a row, his face was yellow and thin, and his expression was occasionally in a trance.

A full house of children and grandchildren is the expectation of every old man.

One autumn night, the old mother stopped the offspring who was going to rest: "Son, you see that there are almost three or four children in your life, and our family is greedy, lazy and gluttonous, and does not support people." In this way, in the future, I will take it alone, and it is serious for her to concentrate on giving birth to a few children for our family. ”

This autumn, a major incident occurred in the family, and one morning, the lazy mother couldn't find her son! She shouted from side to side in the doorway, "Stone--, stone-" until she saw her husband coming back from afar, and she said eagerly, "See the stone?" He's gone. The husband said with a relaxed face: "He went with his mother to relatives." I heard that the third aunt's village primary school is well taught, and the third aunt has no children and no daughters, so our mother has taken a stone to live in the third aunt's house, and the children will go to school there in the future, and they will have a chance! ”

The lazy lady cried, made trouble, and went to that aunt's house to find the child, but she never saw the child. Occasionally, her husband brings back a report card, which also makes her feel gratified.

The little piglets were sold stubble after stubble; Eggs, duck eggs, baskets and baskets for stones; The adobe houses were demolished and brick houses were built; The shacks were gone, and new wings were erected in the yards...... But the lazy girl's stomach never moved. Stone and grandma sometimes come back, every Spring Festival, stone and grandma will come home, but the stone has been hiding from the lazy mother. Occasionally met alone, and without waiting for the lazy girl to speak, the stone glared at her and ran away.

Whenever the lazy lady complained to her husband about the stone's alienation from her, the husband always said that it would be good if it was too big. complained in a hurry, so it caused her mother-in-law to cry: "My mother and son don't have a home all year round, and they are ......disliked by many people when they go home", and the stone also looks like a big child: "Don't be afraid, grandma, there is me!" Let's go, not at her house! Grandma cried with joy: "I knew that the child was not in vain!" Grandma is counting on you in the future! ”

The husband was annoyed and scolded the lazy mother: "You see you have a lot of things, the old man and the child have only been back for a few days, you can't stop?" It's not easy for the mother to take the child to school outside, the child is still young, what are you making a fuss about! ”

As soon as the Spring Festival passed, the stone and grandma left again. At this time, the lazy lady saw the children in the village playing in the alley, she would always take out a lot of candy snacks like a trick, because of the sweetness, the children always loved to call her lazy girl, she just smiled and scolded them: "Little cubs, carefully I beat your ass!" But the children still shouted, and no one really took her beating.

When Shi Shi was fifteen years old, the lazy mother and her husband were working in the responsible field contracted by their family, and the village loudspeaker sounded the radio: "Shi Dad, hurry home when you hear it, hurry home when you hear it!" When the two of them heard this, they put away their hoes, and the lazy girl was carried all the way by her husband on a bicycle and flew home.

It turned out that the grandmother had returned with a stone. Isn't it supposed to be studied in school? I found out the reason when I asked, and the stone had a quarrel with the same table, and they got into a fight, and both of them hung a lot of colors. Stone went home for dinner, grandma and aunt saw that the child was injured, this is okay, together to the school scolded for two days, the last total, this school has educated such a quality student, it is too bad, what to do if you bully the eldest grandson in the future, so I packed up my schoolbag, moved a stool, and dropped out of school.

If you don't go up, you won't be on it, the lazy lady likes this decision, it's been ten years, and I can finally see my son every day. The lazy lady and her husband work together more energetically. Although every day after going home to cook a meal, the son always holds up the food that is enough for the two of them without saying a word, closes the door of the house with a "bang", and eats with grandma with laughter.

After two years, it was time for the son to marry. The girl is Xiao Yuan, the distant granddaughter of her aunt's family, and the stone is also a childhood sweetheart.

Renovate the new house, make the most fashionable full set of furniture, and prepare the top bride price...... Xiao Yuan entered the door, the lazy lady and his wife took out their savings, borrowed relatives and friends, and the lazy lady in her forties lost a lot of weight, but she was excited in her heart - the daughter-in-law finally became a mother-in-law for many years, and the daughter-in-law entered the door and hugged her grandson as soon as she came, and she could also relieve her wish to raise children by herself.

But gradually, something went wrong with the taste. One day a month later, when she served the meal and went to call her son and daughter-in-law for dinner again, there was still no response. She muttered in a low voice: "It's almost noon this sun, and I don't get up to eat yet...... "What are you talking about!" I'm going to get in the way of your sleep? You don't raise what you should raise, and you don't like us to sleep......"

It didn't take much effort, Xiao Yuan's eyes were red, he opened the door and came out, and said to the lazy girl: "This is your own home, I can't afford to live in it, you can live well!" "I want to get on my bike and go back to my mother's house." Yuan'er, you stop! Grandma came out to suppress the formation, "Without you, I can't afford to live in someone's small home, and I have lived in your sixth grandmother's house for more than ten years." You're in the door, the old and the young, we shouldn't go! ”

Xiao Yuan heard his grandmother say this, crying and complaining about his grievances: "Marry your family, don't build a new house, don't want a bride price as much as others, let you buy a bicycle is not happy, but put the money and hold it well!" "It's still early and late to eat your meal, it's not pleasing to the eye, why are you marrying a daughter-in-law......"

After a while, the neighborhood was filled with yards again, and the lazy girl was confused! "Knock" The lazy girl's body was hit by a violent external force, and she hit the door frame all of a sudden. When the quarrel was raging, the husband came back, saw the old man crying and screaming, and kicked the lazy lady down: "You are a loser, you will make the whole family uneasy......

This time the lazy girl was completely confused! The place where he was kicked in the crotch was wooden, and his heart didn't know where to float.

How the farce ended, how the house was quiet, the lazy girl didn't know at all. I only knew that my husband ordered: "Cook your food on time, clean up the house, and then find trouble, and beat you to death!" ”

The lazy girl, who has been happy for more than a month, has finally regained her calm.

The lazy lady who has no look in her eyes, her cooking skills seem to be getting worse and worse, and the stone and Xiao Yuan are breaking chopsticks and knocking bowls more and more frequently, after Xiao Yuan angrily dropped the rice bowl, the lazy girl was beaten by her husband again, and the next day, she was dragged by her husband to the barren slope outside the village, and built a shack that was exactly the same as nineteen years ago, which is considered to be camped.

The lazy girl cried, in the wilderness, crying freely, crying so that her husband was anxious, so he was beaten a few times, and then cried......

The lazy lady fell ill -

The village doctor said that it was stomach bloating that caused it difficult to eat, and the village doctor said that he was sick from overwork, but he could take medicine for more than two months, and the lazy lady was also thin into a handful of firewood. Someone suggested going to the county hospital to have a look, but the mother-in-law frowned, and the daughter-in-law pouted, but she didn't go after all.

But lazy life is hard. After half a year in bed, he was able to eat half a bowl of porridge at every meal, but the half that was not disabled could not move neatly. This may not be a bad thing, and the lazy girl can live a life of stretching out her hands for clothes and opening her mouth for food. In addition to going home every day to greet his mother and work in the fields, the husband puts all his thoughts on taking care of the lazy mother. In order to increase the nutrition of the lazy girl, he always catches sparrows, digs wild vegetables, and changes his methods to make delicious food. The lazy girl gradually became fat, and there was warmth in her blurred eyes.

One day, the daughter-in-law, who had not been seen for many years, appeared with a white and nearly one-year-old little pink doll. When he arrived at the door, Xiao Yuan didn't seem to see his mother-in-law sitting on the left side of the door, so he walked straight into the shack, and came out after about ten minutes inside. Holding the child, he pointed to the lazy lady and said: "Longlong, this is your own grandmother, look at your grandmother is white and fat, and her life is good, I heard that she has made a fortune, don't let your grandma forget you!" He turned his head and said to the lazy girl: "Look, this is your own grandson Longlong." You are worth it in this life, you grew up without your hands when you were a child, and you left it alone when you had grandchildren. You don't have to do anything, you can eat when you open your mouth. Don't patronize your own days, it doesn't matter if your mother-in-law, son-in-law and daughter-in-law starve to death, if this grandson is also hungry, he won't even bury you in the future. After speaking, Xiao Yuan hugged the child and twisted his fat waist and left.

The cold gaze never left the ground under his feet. I don't know how long it took, and when I moved my cane to the hut, the neat bed was folded and half-rolled up, and the lids of the jars and jars were all on the ground......

The sound of staggering footsteps behind him is getting closer and closer, and the smell of alcohol is getting stronger and stronger. Turning around and looking at her husband's earthy gray face, the lazy lady felt a pang in her heart, did something happen?

"Damn, what sin have I done! Woo-woo-"

"The two of them said that they wanted to go to the city to buy a house, and they wanted 50,000 yuan! Fifty thousand! ”

"Damn, I sold me for 50,000 yuan, right? Woo-woo-"

"I relied on him for everything when I was a child, and I was reluctant to say a word about him, we still count on him to support the elderly! Look at what my son who was reluctant to touch his fingers from childhood to adulthood said! ”

"He even said that he didn't buy him a house when he married his daughter-in-law! It's okay if this dad loves to be a person or not, the house in the city is bought for the grandson below, if the master doesn't want to be it, even the incense won't be on when he dies."

"Woo-woo-"

"Tom", the lazy girl fell to the ground, the husband was startled, hurriedly hugged the lazy girl to the bed, tried to snort, and suddenly cried in despair: "Damn, you have been with me for a lifetime, you have suffered for a lifetime, I am sorry for you, he ......"

After crying for a while, the husband wiped his tears, dressed the lazy lady in her cleanest and least patched clothes, and washed his daughter-in-law's face and combed her hair for the first and last time. After that, he swept the inside and out, tied the deadbolt, changed into his cleanest clothes, solemnly washed his face, carefully shaved his beard with a half-drawn blade, and pulled out about twenty ten dollars rolled into a thin tube from the hole in the upper of the bed, and gently put them into the pocket of the lazy girl's jacket without hesitation. "Damn, I'm always afraid that I'll leave first, what should I do if I leave you. The money from my odd jobs, in addition to paying off debts every month, giving it to our mother and the stone family, also saved some for you. Now, you carry them all, I owe you too much in this life, don't leave first, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you. ”

The old man shivered and wiped a match, lit the straw mattress, and turned around to hug the lazy girl's body tightly.

The fire seemed to be holding some kind of ritual, first slowly ignited, and suddenly, the flames rose to the sky, and when people came to the barren slope with buckets and basins, the former shack courtyard had been razed to the ground. Except for the remnants of smoke and embers telling people that there was indeed a fire, there was no trace of anyone once living here.

Hearing the news, the stone and Xiao Yuan rushed to the ground and cried on the ashes, "Dad, mother, raise me so big, I haven't honored your second elder well, why are you ruthless, throw us away......"

Three days later, under the grand ceremony of the flags and paper money, a heavy coffin carrying a handful of scorched earth was buried in a beautiful manner. It is said that the filial son and daughter-in-law cried so much that she fainted several times, and won the admiration of everyone who watched the ceremony!

Oh, the lazy lady is finally gone! The lazy lady in her forties can be regarded as a beautiful departure!

Twenty years have passed, and I don't know if she is still willing to come here on the path of reincarnation, where "the woman has passed half the sky......
