Chapter 339: The Past of Uncle Gao's Family
Walking to a place where no one was around, Han Mingxiu quickly took out a back basket from the space, and filled the back basket with about twenty catties of flour, as well as a wild boar meat weighing more than a catty.
The flour was purchased by her when she was in the Su country, and there were so many of them, she couldn't finish it in her life, so it was just right to take it out and share it among them.
There are also wild boar, which she had hunted from the time she was advancing into the mountains, and she wanted to give them more, but it was almost May, and the weather was getting hotter, and the meat could not be stored for long, so it was better not to give too much, lest it be a pity to eat it badly.
In addition, she also prepared four or five catties of pine nuts, four or five catties of wild vegetables, ten catties of sweet potatoes, and ten catties of potatoes.
With these things, their lives will be much easier.
When I came to Uncle Gao's house, Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao had just finished dinner, and the old couple was sitting in the yard doing laundry, and the other was bending over to open a vegetable garden in the yard, preparing to plant vegetables......
Seeing Han Mingxiu coming, Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao were very happy. is happy from the heart, like relatives who have been reunited after a long absence, and Aunt Gao is even more happy to sigh 'Xiu, you are back'.
I haven't seen him for a few months, and Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao seem to be a lot older. Especially Uncle Gao, when she left, a third of his hair was black, but after only a few months of hard work, it turned all white, and the wrinkles on his face were deeper, as if carved by a knife, which shows that they have not had a good time in the past few months.
Aunt Gao is too, Huang has lost a lot of weight, she was already thin, and now she looks like a paper person, and Han Mingxiu is a little distressed.
"Uncle Gao, Aunt Gao, are you okay?"
Although he had already seen that they were not doing well, Han Mingxiu still pretended not to see it.
Mrs. Gao sighed 'hi' and said with a wry smile: "That's it!" ”
Uncle Gao hurriedly pulled the corner of her clothes and said, "The child just came back, don't talk about ruining the fun." ”
After speaking, he smiled at Han Mingxiu and said: "Don't listen to your aunt, she is a pessimist, the two of us, we can eat and sleep, okay!" ”
Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "It's good, I'm relieved to see that you guys are doing well." ”
Then she put down the basket and brought them out the good things she had brought them.
Aunt Gao asked Han Mingxiu some things about going to Hei Province again, such as whether Xi is used to living there? How many catties of food does the army give her a month? Is there enough food to eat? Questions such as whether it was cold or something over there, Han Mingxiu answered them one by one.
After chatting for more than an hour, Han Mingxiu was still worried about going to those houses to have a look, so he got up and said goodbye.
Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao sent her to the door, and when she was about to leave, Aunt Gao suddenly burst into tears and said, "Xiu'er, if you have kung fu, you often come back to see Auntie, and Auntie doesn't want to take anything for Auntie?" My aunt has no children in her life, so she treats you as if you were her daughter......"
Han Mingxiu saw that Aunt Gao was suddenly sad, turned around and hugged her, and said gently: "Auntie, as long as I am free, I will definitely come back to see you, you should also relax, I estimate that such days are coming to an end soon, you have to hold on!" ”
"Well, I'll hold on, if there really is a day when I come out......" Speaking of this, the tall lady suddenly choked.
She wanted to say: If there is really a day when you come out, I will take you as a goddaughter.
However, when these words came to her mouth, she swallowed them again.
Who knows when they will come out on top?
If she tells Xiu'er now that she wants to recognize others as her goddaughter, it seems that she wants to take advantage of others.
Xiu is the wife of a soldier, she can't get too close to a sinner like them, if she mentions someone else as a goddaughter, how embarrassed will they be?
So...... Let's not talk about it......
"If only there was a day when I could come out...... That's great! She said improvised.
Han Mingxiu saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that she had something in her heart, but since she didn't say it, it was inconvenient for her to ask.
I had to hold her hand, quietly stuffed her with ten yuan, and said, "Auntie, take good care of your body, didn't the chairman say it?" The body is the capital of the revolution, as long as the body is well, no matter what good things happen in the future, it will not be left behind us. ”
"Well, auntie listens to you." Mrs. Gao wiped her tears with her sleeve, waved her hand and said, "Go back quickly, it's not safe when it's dark." ”
Han Mingxiu nodded, turned around and left.
I don't know why, she always feels that Aunt Gao is a little wrong, and she can't say what's wrong, anyway, she feels that she looks very sad when she meets this time, and it's not the same as before.
I don't know what's going on.
This question was completely solved when he arrived at Uncle Zhou's house.
When Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou saw Han Mingxiu, they were as happy as Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao when they saw Han Mingxiu.
While chatting, Han Mingxiu talked about the abnormality of the tall lady. Aunt Zhou sighed and said, "Evil! ”
Then, he told her the reason for the tall lady's abnormality.
It turned out that the marriage between Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao was not as smooth as that of other old husbands and wives.
Back then, Uncle Gao was the only son of a wealthy family in Beijing, and Aunt Gao was a highly educated scholarly daughter, the two of them were right, talented and beautiful, and they made a marriage contract since they were young, and they got married as promised when they became adults.
They have similar temperaments and like-minded interests, they were originally a loving couple, but after getting married, they did not get pregnant for five or six years. At that time, the new country had been established, and the law clearly stipulated that men could not take concubines. If Gao Da Niang can't give birth to a child, their family's incense will be cut off in this generation.
In order not to let the incense at home be broken, Mr. Gao and Mrs. Gao began to force Uncle Gao and Mrs. Gao to divorce, and wanted Uncle Gao to marry a woman who could have children.
And Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao have a very close relationship, how can they divorce for the sake of inheritance?
Uncle Gao did not agree to the divorce and resolutely resisted his parents to the end.
After another three years of fighting like this, Aunt Gao still didn't give birth to a child.
Later, Mrs. Gao was so anxious that she simply lay on the bed and went on a hunger strike, if Uncle Gao did not divorce, she would rather starve to death.
Aunt Gao saw that she really couldn't have children, and she didn't want Uncle Gao to embarrass her and her parents, so she took the initiative to leave the divorce agreement and ran away from home.
Uncle Gao looked for him for three or four years, and later heard that she went to Suguo and didn't plan to come back, so he had to accept his parents' arrangement and marry another wife.
Although this wife is from a small family, she has a strong belly, and just a year after the door, she gave birth to a son to the Gao family, and a daughter a year later.
Their lives also settled down, and Old Man Gao and Mrs. Gao were content when they saw that they had grandchildren and daughters.
Within a few days of peace, the storm blew up, and Gao Jiashu was reported to be a big man, so the Gao family, who was famous in the past, became a sinner who was spurned overnight.
Uncle Gao's son, that is, Mrs. Gao's precious grandson, is a selfish, cold-blooded and ruthless person. In order to protect himself, he immediately expressed his determination to the organization and disconnected from his family.
For so many years, his grandparents have always regarded him as a treasure, holding him in his hand for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting. The result? He who is coming, but he is treated so mercilessly.
That's not all, the good daughter-in-law who the old couple was forced to marry each other also fell into the well at this time, jumped out and broke off from them, not only jumped out of the divorce, but also pointed out their various "crimes." ”
The old man and the old lady couldn't bear this huge blow, nor could they bear the ruthless betrayal of the three closest relatives (Uncle Gao's children and his second wife), let alone this sudden change, and soon died one after another, ending with hatred.
Overnight, Uncle Gao lost everything!
Originally, he was already disheartened, all his thoughts were burned, and he had nothing to love. Unexpectedly, at this time, his ex-wife, who had already gone to the Soviet Union, suddenly came back, knew his current situation, and desperately proposed to remarry him.
At the beginning, Uncle Gao was still unwilling, for fear that it would affect her. As a result, not long after, she was also listed as an enemy agent because she had gone to study in the Soviet Union, and was sent here with him.
Both of them have become sinners, so it doesn't matter who is involved with whom and who is not.
Uncle Gao saw that she was living a hard life in a woman's family, and he was afraid that people would bully her, so he took the initiative to find her and remarry her, and the two lived together again.
They are a loving couple, if it weren't for Old Man Gao and Old Lady Gao to stir it up, they would not have divorced. Now, the two are together again, and they both cherish each other very much. said that they would support each other and live this life.
But a few years ago, his divorced second wife came to her with her daughter. said that his daughter was going to be sent to the Black Province, and the conditions in the Black Province were difficult, and he wanted to ask him for money to go on the road.
When the second wife broke off the relationship with him, she took a lot of money with him. But she is lazy and lazy, and she has squandered almost all that money. Now I really have no choice, so I came to find it, and I want to cheat Uncle Gao again.
Uncle Gao decisively refused their request, and told them very coldly that he had nothing to do with them, and told them not to look for him in the future!
At that time, Uncle Gao's attitude was very resolute, and his second wife and daughter left angrily. When he left, he threatened that he would never come to see him again in his life, and even if he died, they would not come to see him.
As a result, it was only more than two months before his daughter wrote to him again, crying and crying to tell him how hard she was in the black province, and begged him to send her some money, otherwise she would die of misery......
Uncle Gao burned the letter directly after reading it, and didn't pay attention to her, but last month, a person who went to Hei Province with her daughter to be an educated youth wrote a letter to Uncle Gao, saying that her daughter was sick in Hei Province, and if she didn't have money for injections and medicine, I was afraid she wouldn't survive.
Uncle Gao's son died of a sudden illness shortly after defeating the Gao family, and now, Uncle Gao has that daughter left, although he felt cold about that daughter and didn't want to take care of her anymore, but, I heard that her life was on the verge of death, and in the end I couldn't bear it, so I carried Aunt Gao behind her back and secretly mailed her ten yuan.
The ten yuan was still stuffed for them to cross the river when Han Mingxiu came for the last time, because Han Mingxiu was about to join the army, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come back for a while, in case they had a disaster and had no money for treatment, so they left ten yuan for several of their families, and the ten yuan for Uncle Gao's family was sent to his daughter as it was.
After his daughter received the money, she thought that her father still had oil and water to squeeze here, so she sent letters one after another, the front of the letter was to reflect on her own mistakes, asking for Uncle Gao's forgiveness, and the back was the subject of the letter, the theme was very simple, asking for money.
Aunt Gao saw that his daughter mailed him so frequently, so she peeked at one curiously, and then realized that Uncle Gao had mailed his daughter all the money for crossing the river.
Aunt Gao was very sad, and suddenly felt that Uncle Gao was not sincere with her, no matter how much she poured out her heart and lungs to him, she was not as deep as his feelings for his children.
Therefore, when she saw Han Mingxiu, Mrs. Gao would be so sad and abnormal.
