Chapter 10: The Foolish Girl in the Early Nineties (10)
But Aunt Su didn't care, she entered the kitchen and asked, "I'm talking to you, did you hear it?" ”
"Knock Knock"
is still the sound of chopping ribs, Su Jin just doesn't speak.
"I said that the child didn't say anything about you, why are you angry?"
"When I was a child, my grandmother scolded me for losing money and wasting the family's rations and selling me for dried sweet potatoes, and she didn't scold you, why are you so angry that you want to jump into the river."
"Don't say it, just say last month, the second uncle said that Jin Bao was lazy and didn't say anything about you, you are not angry and went all the way to the second uncle's house to find him to theorize, you said that I can't be angry with my child, so what is your child angry when he is told." Su Jin's expression was indifferent, and in the narrow kitchen, he seemed to have changed a person.
This kind of Su Jin made Aunt Su a little unfamiliar, she couldn't help but take a few steps back, and after reflecting what she had done, she was a little dazed, how could she think that Su Jin was terrible just now.
Su Jin didn't care about Aunt Su's reaction, she killed the fish neatly, and Aunt Su, who was about to say something, suddenly met the strange white eyes of the fish, and suddenly became excited, her mind was blank, and she suddenly forgot what she wanted to say.
Su Jin, who had blood on her hands, looked back at Aunt Su, "Mom, didn't I learn from you the act of protecting cubs?" It's my first time as a mother, and I want to be a mother who loves her children like you do. ”
"You said you want to remember the bittersweet memories, I think it's enough now, I heard that children have good memory, for example, I can still remember when I was two years old, you saved your own rations in order to eat enough, and almost starved to death."
"Zhenzhen and Qizheng will always remember the suffering now, and they will become upright, kind and excellent people in the future."
Su Jin's words brought Aunt Su's memory back to the distant past, when their family was really poor, a family of more than ten people from four generations was crammed into a small courtyard, and the mother-in-law of the eccentric uncle was in charge of the family's rations and wages.
Because she hurt her body when she gave birth to the eldest girl, she knew that the eldest girl was her only hope in the future, so she was willing to be hungry and let the eldest girl be full.
At that time, although she had a formal job as a fitter in a steel factory, because of her low rank, short working hours, low salary, and her husband was only an apprentice in a state-run hotel, the salary was also low, and she was the eldest son, so she really couldn't break up.
The second uncle and his wife are also dual-income workers, giving birth to a son and a daughter, the uncle is the mother-in-law's treasure, the father-in-law has a job, and the mother-in-law concentrates on taking care of the children, so she has to cook a big family's meals after returning from work, and she has to wash the family's clothes on weekends.
She also asked why, and her mother-in-law said that she gave birth to a daughter and will not have another child in the future, and she and Daqiang will have to rely on two brothers in the future, so she has to pay.
At that time, she had a hard time, obviously she and her husband had jobs, but they were like soaking in Coptis chinensis, so bitter that she wondered if she had given birth to a daughter, which caused her suffering.
Later, there was really no way, and the family only gave the eldest girl a clear porridge with less than a few grains of rice, which was as clear as boiled water, and even coarse grains were reluctant to give her to eat.
She was afraid that the eldest girl would starve to death, fight with her mother-in-law, fight with her sister-in-law, and go to grab the white eggs that her mother-in-law boiled for her uncle, who opened a small stove for her studying.
Later, with Jinbao, she straightened her waist and split up her family, and her life really got better, and she became the kind Aunt Su in other people's mouths and the Aunt Su who loved her children.
Maybe it was because of some bad memories, Aunt Su didn't say anything more, and she didn't even take the fish and pork from Su Jin's house, nor did she ask Su Jin to go to her mother-in-law's house to get vegetables, so she left dejectedly.
Zhenzhen and Qizheng heard that it was quiet outside, so they came out of the room, Zhenzhen had tears in her eyes, it turned out that her mother was almost sold when she was a child, and her mother was too pitiful and bitter.
She took her brother's hand emotionally, "Brother, my mother is also a mother for the first time, and we are also a baby for the first time, we have to help each other."
Don't talk back to your mom anymore. ”
"How can I talk back to my mother." was said by his sister, Li Qizheng was a little awkward.
For my mother, who couldn't eat enough when I was a child and was almost sold because of dried sweet potatoes, giving them food and clothes is very good for them.
Facing his sister's distrustful eyes, Li Qizheng blushed shamefully, "As long as my mother doesn't let me remember the bittersweet memories, I won't talk back, I'm already bitter enough." ”
After speaking, he had to go downstairs to play with his friends, compared to his grandmother's side, he still liked the little friends here, at least he didn't let him play a ghost.
"The meal will be ready soon, you will come back when your father comes back, we won't wait for you to eat." Su Jin heard the sound of the door opening, knew that Li Qi was about to go downstairs to play, and shouted in the kitchen.
"Got it!" Li Qizheng replied, took his sister's hand and ran away.
Grandma Zhao was telling the old sisters what she had just seen upstairs, and in a blink of an eye, she saw two children coming downstairs.
Seeing Zhenzhen's eyes red, he patted his grandson on the shoulder and asked her to play with the two children.
A few children ran away, and she continued: "This Su Jinniang really makes me can't see clearly, the girl is also the meat that fell from her body, how can she be willing to be an old scalper." ”
"It's not, but anyway, Su Jin is a kind person who understands her mother's hard work for her to go to college."
"What's the hard work for college students, there are subsidies for going to college, and it doesn't cost anything."
"You don't understand, Aunt Su let her daughter study all the time, and it is already very good to not let her drop out of school and work."
"But no matter how you say it, you can't exploit your daughter-in-law like this, it's also Li Struggle's mother who hasn't come for a long time, I don't know about it, if I know, I can't fight."
"That's what you said."
"Zhenzhen's eyes were red just now, it must have been said by her grandmother, I think it must be for the two thousand yuan."
"Speaking of which, Su Jin is too filial and too obedient to her father and mother......"
The retired old ladies have nothing to do, they can only talk every day, what happened in Su Jin's house has become a hot topic for them, and they have been nagged for a week for a long time.
So when Li Struggle came back, he was still under the sight of the old ladies, and quickened his pace to return home with the two children, he couldn't understand why those aunts and aunts paid so much attention to him these days, and he didn't really think that he would beat his wife.
Bitterly, even if there was this conjecture, he couldn't explain it, and people didn't say anything about him to his face.
But as soon as he entered the house and smelled the smell of meat, he put all those problems behind him and went to the kitchen to help his wife serve food.
While eating, he suddenly thought that he met his eldest brother when he went to work in Tushui Village today, so he said to Su Jin: "I met my eldest brother in Tushui Village today, he seems to have gone there to buy chili peppers, and the eldest brother said that our mother came to see the children this weekend and may have to stay for a while." ”
Su Jin thought about it, and in her memory, she didn't seem to get along with this mother-in-law often, because Dahe Village was far away from the provincial capital, and she had to take a car for nearly four hours every time she came, and her mother-in-law was motion sick, so she didn't like to come.
Every time I came, I also sent meat and vegetables, and then hurried back, and now I propose to stay for a long time, probably because I heard about the things of the original owner's mother's house.
