Chapter III
After resting at home for a few days, my father, grandfather and brother-in-law, plus the driver, a group of 4 people embarked on the road to do business again.
This time it was still going well, and the group took a short rest in a small county town in N province and planned to go back and do it again.
"Chengshu, we'll see you at the intersection on a cloudy night." The old brother-in-law said.
"Uncle, uncle, I said let's go back together, and we're not outsiders."
"That's going to be fine, next time I'll bring some souvenirs over and have a look." In one sentence, I decided to participate in the business next time.
Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy.
"Mom, Dad, I'm back." Dad's voice was filled with indescribable joy.
"The two eggs are back." Grandma replied in a loud voice. I saw that the door was opened by Kuang, and the face of the third father was revealed
"Second brother, you're back." Looking at my dad holding a big bag, I felt that the smile on the third father's face was even brighter.
Greeted each other and entered the door, looking at the aunts and fathers who were hushing around my father, and sighed: Money is really different whether there is or not.
In my memory, because of the failure of the family's business this time, my father had opinions about the people in my mother's village, and I didn't want to live in the village anymore, so I came back with my mother in disgrace.
Since then, my dad seems to be possessed by bad luck and does something wrong, and he is a little decadent. In addition, the eldest aunt died, the eldest aunt spoiled her brother as a loser, and the eldest father was such an unbearable person, and in the end, the second aunt in the family was doing well.
The third father and the second aunt are relatively close, and the father and him are two years apart, which is a little estranged, and later they got married.
In my memory, my father always lowered his head and didn't talk much, thinking about his second aunt borrowing money, and he was not convinced and wanted to do business again.
And the second aunt always pointed fingers at home with her teeth and claws, counting the family from head to toe.
Looking at the current situation, I have to express such feelings.
"Second brother, I also want to do business with you." The third father took the initiative to speak.
"Wow next time, this time Juan's uncle and uncle." Dad shirked. I'm still worried that my dad will agree, my third dad is a big grin.
In fact, this person really doesn't care much, the problem is that he is aimed at outsiders, or people who are not very close to him, he doesn't care at all, he is really dark about his relatives, taking advantage and saying bad things.
During the time when my father was sick, the family was basically hollowed out, but this one, the words are very good, but he doesn't pay for it.
This is voluntary, of course. The problem is: he went out to talk nonsense with people, cried poor, and said that as soon as he had money, he would help his second brother see a doctor.
At that time, my father was suddenly at a loss because of the incident, and his temper changed greatly. As a result, I occasionally went out for a walk and heard such rumors, but I couldn't rush forward to theorize.
In addition, after he got sick, the third father never went to see it once. Once, Jean was waiting at the entrance of the hospital to help deliver something, and he was reluctant to let him go in and have a look.
Since then, my father has not said a word about his brother even when he has died. Although these things that make my father sad haven't happened yet, it is obvious that my father thinks that the third father is still not very reliable, after all, this younger brother is indeed a bit lazy and cheating.
"Alright, then don't forget to call me next time." The third father emphasized unwillingly. After a day of rest at home, my father went to my aunt's house the next day.
I looked at my aunt who has lost her color and has not been tortured by life, my uncle who is full of spirits and my brother who is lively and sensible, and I really feel that creation makes people.
I want to change their fate, and I hope to see the condition of my eldest uncle's body. At this time, I seemed to be able to feel the condition of every part of my eldest uncle's body, and sure enough, I noticed that his blood was a little abnormal.
It's right to think about it, people in my father's generation have been miserable, and now that life is slowly getting better, I want to eat something that I couldn't eat before to compensate myself.
As a result, if you don't pay attention, it's easy to get three highs, and the fact is the same, except for dealing with aunts and fathers in your own home, there are three highs.
In the end, my father also died of bowel cancer, and this disease is inseparable from eating and drinking in peacetime. Since he wanted to change the fate of his aunt's family, he told his father at that time
"I don't think your brother-in-law's body is right, and it's easy to have accidents." I said this, but my dad was still skeptical, and just raised his guard.
reminded the aunt that they should pay attention to their bodies and not be afraid to spend money. When the aunt heard that her younger brother hadn't seen her for so long, she remembered to care about her body, and immediately replied happily
"Don't worry, we know it's heavy." Even though the eldest uncle didn't say anything, he had a smile on his face.
Dad didn't say anything, knowing that his brother-in-law was a person who was not good at words. After a good afternoon of rest at my aunt's house, my father set out on his way home again.
As soon as the car stopped at the entrance of the village, the people in the village said when they saw my father
"Chengshu is back, and Juan gave birth to a girl." After that, I saw my father coming home quickly, and I was also excited, I was finally born.
I don't know what I looked like when I was a kid. Looking at the monkey-like doll in front of me, I felt hallucinating, and I knew that a newborn child would not be very good-looking, but it should not be like this.
And even if he looks average, he has been working hard to manage it, so although he is not a big beauty, he is not the monkey in front of him.
"This baby is good-looking, and she can't be wrong in the future." I looked at the person who said this in amazement, this master who really opened his eyes and told nonsense.
But this sounds quite comforting, not my dad and mom have a smile on their faces, especially my dad, his mouth is almost to the sky.
For the first time, I intuitively felt my parents' anticipation for my arrival. Life passed slowly like this, changing my father's disaster, and the family lived peacefully and peacefully.
"Daddy Guoguo, why do I feel a little sick to my stomach." At the end of the day's work, my mother suddenly woke up during the lunch break.
"Let's go to the health center and have a look." Dad replied neatly, and got up. I also followed my mother in a hurry, I don't know what happened recently, and my memory of what happened in the past is gradually becoming clearer.
In other words, the memories of my family seem to gradually appear in my mind, as if I had experienced it myself.
Just now, my mother's sudden abdominal pain evoked
"My" memory, because my intervention caused the life of my mother and dad to change during this time, so I didn't react for a while.
During this time, it was the time of my mother's second pregnancy, because the difference between the two pregnancies was less than a year, and my mother's state was not as good as before, and because of the failure of my father's business, he worked too hard in the field to pay off his debts.
So my younger brother was gone when he was more than 5 months old, and my mother's health was even worse because of this, and she was always sick with minor illnesses.
"Juan, this is another baby." Sure enough, the doctor at the clinic said.
"Uncle, it's not a big deal, Juan." Dad asked anxiously.
"It's not a big deal, pay attention to rest". In this era, even if family planning has been implemented, in the eyes of most people, it is an unchanging truth that there are many children and more blessings, except for some people from public families who have to have a child because of work, and the rest of the people do all kinds of ridiculous things in order to have more boys.
Especially in this relatively backward place, they don't care about any national policies, and some government cadres feel that they are blessed with more children.
I looked at my mother's belly and thought that I must protect my poor brother for the rest of my life. The closer I got to my brother's 5 months, the more anxious I became, I was afraid that if I couldn't change the life and death events, then I wouldn't be able to change my father's fate after that.
In the midst of my daily worry, I was relieved when my brother was finally 6 months old.
I also ushered in a critical moment for my parents and grandfather as a family.
