Chapter 119: Unspeakable Suffering
Wang Defa couldn't sleep at night, and his heart was still worried about Wang Nianzu in Tang Yongsheng's house. Ma Xiu'e was turned over and over by Wang Defa, and she couldn't sleep all night after being disturbed.
"Old man, if you want to sleep, go to sleep quickly, if you don't sleep, you go out and go around, I can't sleep even if I want to sleep." Ma Xiu'e said.
"I also want to sleep, I can't sleep, I don't know if Nianzu is at his uncle's house, whether he recognizes his life or not, whether he is crying."
"You're a grandfather, these hearts, it's time for Guisheng and Narcissus to, just keep your worries in your stomach. Hey, seeing that my brother is leaving, there are only two of us and Guisheng's family of three left in the family. ”
"I've been feeling uneasy these days, and I don't know what's wrong." Wang Defa said seemingly to himself.
"What's the matter, isn't it just that the children are leaving home one by one, going to school, breaking into the society, I also understand, in the future, we have to live the rest of the days alone."
Ma Xiu'e reached the end of the point in a word, and Wang Defa didn't say anything anymore and fell asleep.
When Wang Chenglong was at home, he went home. Originally, she had been looking for several students to take with her during the summer vacation, but she pushed back the time, and estimated that when Wang Laidi's notice was about to arrive, she went back.
In fact, Wang Chenglong insisted on going home, in addition to seeing off his brother, there was another important reason, her grandfather's tenth anniversary is approaching.
The next day, Guisheng called Wang Defa from his father-in-law's house, saying that Narcissus wanted to live in her house for a few more days, Wang Defa was reluctant in his heart, but he said: "If you want to live, just live, if you can go back early, go back early, take care of Nianzu, and now you can start to roll everywhere." ”
"Yes, yes."
During the day, Wang Laidi went to the restaurant to do chores, and there were only Wang Defa and Ma Xiu'e at home. Wang Defa couldn't stay still, Ma Xiu'e went to work in the field, and he followed, there were many people working in Manchuan, and they were all more lively than him staying at home alone.
His peers can see fewer figures in the Sichuan, and the young people who can endure hardships and work hard, Wang Defa basically can't name them anymore, just looking at whose fields he is working in, he can guess probably whose child it is.
The passage of time made Wang Defa suddenly a little unfamiliar with the land he grew up in, as if it was all yesterday, but he couldn't go back.
Ma Xiu'e is the same, in the past, she came out to work in the morning, and in the whole morning, she only rested to drink water and eat steamed buns once, but now she can't work for long, so she sits on the ridge and has to rest for a while. The legs and feet are not as sharp as they used to be. These changes, maybe she doesn't know about herself, Wang Defa is in her eyes.
"Xiu'e, Jackie Chan is coming back from vacation today, it is estimated that it will be afternoon, what to eat?" Wang Defa said to Ma Xiu'e.
"Let's make rice, and when we go back at noon, buy some vegetables and meat in town."
"Xiu'e, when Jackie Chan called and said that he was going back, he also said that there were also students who ate in the school cafeteria during the holidays, and they had work to do, and they couldn't come back, I don't know how to tell you." Wang Defa looked at Ma Xiu'e.
"Then what can't be said, Jackie Chan is a college student, and it is only natural that she will come back from vacation, she is a part-time worker, so she should do her job well." On the surface, Ma Xiu'e said it very simply.
"I don't agree with what you say, whether it's going to school or working, it's my own child, since Yuting is already working outside, it's okay if you're busy!"
Wang Chenglong bought a lot of things in the city before going home, all of which she earned from tutoring children around the school in her spare time, bought two sets of clothes for her nephew Wang Nianzu and Wang Laidi, bought Ma Xiu'e a good and inexpensive lollipop oil, and brought Wang Defa finished tobacco leaves in the city.
There wasn't much to look at, and her bag was just bulging and stuffed.
Before leaving, Hu Yuting stuffed 500 yuan to Wang Chenglong, and then handed the note she had written early to Wang Chenglong.
After getting into the car and packing up her things, Wang Chenglong opened the note handed to her by Hu Yuting.
"Sister, these 500 yuan, help me give it to my mother, let her buy something for my brother and sister and nephew Nianzu, tell him that the work in school is not hard, and she is not tired, let her rest assured, and when the winter vacation is over, she will go back for the New Year."
After reading it, Wang Chenglong had a sour nose, sucked it up, and stuffed the note into his bag.
Wang Chenglong was already familiar with this road that took her out of the mountains, and when the shuttle bus drove between the bare earth mountains, Wang Chenglong slept peacefully all the way.
Wang Defa estimated that when Wang Chenglong was about to arrive, he was already waiting at the intersection of the town, and all the shuttle buses passing through the town would get off there.
Wang Chenglong got out of the car door, and saw Wang Defa guarding the intersection early, carrying his schoolbag, and walked towards Wang Defa.
"All the way went well, right?"
"It's going well."
"Let's go, hurry home, wash up, get ready to eat, your mother has made you something delicious."
Wang Defa carried my schoolbag on Jackie Chan's shoulder, walked in front and led Wang Chenglong to his home.
On the way, I met an acquaintance I knew and delayed a little time, and when I walked to the door, my Jackie Chan had already smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen.
"Xiu'e, we're back!" Wang Defa shouted.
"Jackie Chan is back! Hurry into the house, wash and clean up, the meal is ready. ”
When Wang Chenglong entered the house, the water in the basin was ready, and after washing his face, the fatigue of the hard work seemed to disappear.
"Dad, why are you two at home? What about your family? What about my brother? Wang Chenglong asked.
"Oh, Guisheng and Narcissus, I took Nian Zu to Narcissus's house, and I guess I will come back the day after tomorrow. After the exam, she went to the restaurant in the town to do chores, and when she just walked back, she didn't pass by, but if she did, you could see it. ”
"Oh, that's good, it's good, and it's good to exercise. It's really different for Guisheng to be a father, and it's okay to run your own small family. ”
"Well, after Guisheng became a father, he did change a lot, and his posture of hurting his son was no less than the pain I did back then."
"Let's eat quickly, and we'll talk after eating!" After Ma Xiu'e brought the rice dish, she watched the two of them chatting without moving chopsticks, urging them.
"When will my brother come back, how will she eat when she comes back?"
"She eats after she finishes working at the restaurant, and she doesn't care."
The three of them ate and were silent for a while. Wang Chenglong can no longer find the atmosphere of eating around the table with his four younger siblings before, except for the movement of chewing rice in his mouth, there is no other sound.
After eating, the three of them didn't say anything, and sat down to stabilize the food in their stomachs.
Wang Chenglong got up and opened his schoolbag, and gave the lollipop oil and tobacco he bought to Ma Xiu'e and Wang Defa.
Then she took out the tightly packed 500 yuan from her pocket and said, "Mom, this 500 yuan was brought to you by Yuting." ”
Ma Xiu'e listened to Wang Chenglong's words, and didn't know what to say for a long time, if Wang Chenglong said one more word about Hu Yuting, the tears in Ma Xiu'e's eyes probably couldn't be choked.
"Xiu'e, what are you doing in a daze, the child brought you all the way back, take it."
"Oh, good, good, thank you, Jackie Chan."
"What's so thankful for this, Yuting is very good, the boss and aunt also feel sorry for Yuting, the school cafeteria is not like the outside, it is not too busy, and the money can be earned, but it is less than outside. Yuting asked me to tell you that you will come back with me for the New Year after the winter vacation. ”
"As long as she is well, it is not easy for her to find a job outside."
"Dad, this is a tobacco leaf in the city, you can roll one for yourself later, try it, what does it taste."
"Okay, I'm going to go to the smoking gun and try it with a can."
This meal is eaten for lunch, it's too late, it's breakfast, it's too early. After Wang Chenglong helped Ma Xiu'e clean up the pot, he went to the upper room by himself.
When her grandmother left, Wang Chenglong didn't know. She is the eldest in the family, at that time, in the years when she had the clearest memories of growing up, Wang Defa was in prison, Li Yueping was almost entangled in things in the field all day long, and she and her two younger siblings were basically brought by her grandparents.
In the upper room, Wang Defa cleaned up neatly, on the table of the Eight Immortals, two photo frames were covered, Wang Chenglong straightened his arm and uncovered the cloth, and the voices and smiles of his grandparents on the photo were vivid. Wang Chenglong knelt down and kowtowed to them three times. The memories of my grandparents rose from my heart.
Grandma's departure this year is considered a high life, ten years ago, grandpa's departure, Wang Chenglong has always blamed Wang Defa for the responsibility. If he hadn't been imprisoned, there wouldn't have been a grandfather who died unexpectedly.
Ten years, in a flash, it's really fast. The sour pear tree in the yard was still alive, struggling to bear a few fruits. The old clock on the table of the Eight Immortals, Wang Chenglong could still hear the sound of walking. What grandpa and grandma used, what can be kept, Wang Defa keeps.
Everything is still the same as before, and everything will never go back to the way it was before. Coming out of the upper room, Wang Chenglong walked under the pear tree in the courtyard, and his mind was full of pictures of her grandfather.
When she was a child, Wang Chenglong and Wang Laidi were arguing to eat the fruit on the tree, and her grandfather told them that the fruit was too sour, and it would be delicious when it was picked and put in winter. It was always Wang Lai's brother who did not give up, crying and making trouble to eat, and her grandfather could only step on a chair and use a long push rake under the tree to beat fruit under the tree. Wang Chenglong and Wang Laidi happily pointed at the tree under the tree, one to the left, and the other to the right. The placket of his clothes was covered with fruit that his grandfather had beaten down.
Thinking of this, Wang Chenglong regretted a little, regretting that he didn't expect his grandfather's safety at all.
With a snap of his fingers, Wang Chenglong sighed that his grandfather had been gone for ten years. Suddenly, she was a little afraid that she would remember these memories in the depths of her mind, the yard and the house were full of memories, but she couldn't see the real figure.
In addition to his parents, the grandparents of Wang Chenglong's sister and brother who love him the most have all left.
Reincarnation has come to his father Wang Defa, and in the clean and wide yard, it is difficult to have the happiness of the family huddled together before. She and Brother Wang will definitely not come back to live here in the future, if they don't jump out of this mountain, then what's the point of studying. Although Wang Guisheng can stay at home, after all, he has already married and has his own life.
In the world, how many children can accompany their parents to old age? Not to mention working hard outside. Wang Defa's hair is small, and Fang Wenhai next door to the backyard is a typical example, and only during the New Year's holidays can he come back from the city to see the old people at home.
In just one afternoon, Wang Chenglong can already feel the confusion and reluctance of Wang Defa and Ma Xiu'e when facing their children running around from his parents' emotions.
When my brother came back in the evening, he saw his sister jumping happily, and it seemed that there was something endless to say between the two sisters.
Wang Laidi told Wang Chenglong about his choice, and told her his thoughts, what the two sisters said between them was always something that they couldn't say to others in their hearts.
"Brother, we make our own choices, as long as we do it, don't regret it." Before the two of them went to bed, Wang Chenglong said meaningfully to Wang Laidi.
"I know, sister, in fact, I should be most grateful, that is, you, if you didn't jump out of the loess slope of our house in front of you, maybe I would have been a mother by now."
"Is there any news from the school, when will the notice come?"
"Come on, it's been a few days."
"Are you sure? How many times have you estimated the score? ”
"I'm sure, the teacher also helped me check it, and the gap in the evaluation should be about ten points." Wang Laidi said.
The two sisters fell asleep while chatting.
Wang Guisheng and his wife have been living at Tang Yongsheng's house for three days, and the next day, Wang Defa asked Ma Xiu'e to call Tang Yongsheng's house, the purpose is very clear, no matter what, I have to let the little couple bring it back today.
"If they don't come back, you say his sheep are dying of hunger!" Wang Defa added.
"If you give me all the things that offend people, why don't you call them yourself?" Ma Xiu'e was a little reluctant.
"You go and call first, make it clear that you want to come back, and I'll drive to pick them up."
Before lunch, Ma Xiu'e figured out that Tang Yongsheng's family should come back from work, and then made a phone call.
Guo Juan on the other end of the phone was still reluctant to be her girl, Ma Xiu'e could understand, and at the same time, she said very beautifully.
"Mother-in-law, mother, I can understand the mood of wanting Narcissus to live for a few more days, I won't hide it from you, this phone call, it was Guisheng and his father who asked me to call, you want to be a daughter, and the old man misses his grandson." You see how about eating at noon and letting the old man pick it up in the afternoon. ”
"Okay, okay, I just think that men are all virtuous, and Narcissus Dad is urging Narcissus to hurry back every day."
"Okay, that's settled, I'll pick them up in the afternoon."
"Okay."
After making the call, Ma Xiu'e asked Wang Defa to pack up and pick up people in the afternoon.
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"No need, I'll just go, we have to trouble the family to cook, I'll go and go back quickly."
"Dad, I'll go with you too, I haven't been to Narcissus's house yet, and I haven't seen my little nephew yet." Wang Chenglong volunteered to go with him.
"Okay, then let's go together and take you along the mountain road of the Narcissus's house."
After bringing Wang Guisheng's family back, there is no news about the most important thing this summer, Wang Laidi's admission letter.
