Chapter 16: Rereading Despair, Komine Returns to the Field
Another month passed, and Sister Yun came to me again. I said, "What happened to Wang Xiaofeng's family again?" She blushed and said, "This time, it's a happy event!" "Yes! Thankfully, his family's bad luck was over. "I asked what the happy event was, and Sister Yun blushed and said that she and Wang Xiaofeng were getting married, and asked me to help her buy clothes to wear for the wedding. Sure enough, it's a happy event! However, even though it was a happy event, because it came so suddenly, I was still surprised and said, "You are married!" Wang Xiaofeng stopped studying? β
"How do you read it? His father lost one of his legs, became a cripple, and the contracted land was deserted, and if he continued to read, he was afraid that his family would not even have anything to eat! Sister Yun replied to me.
"However, Wang Xiaofeng is wholeheartedly thinking about going to university and doesn't let him study, how can he be willing?" I still find it incomprehensible.
He didn't want to, but who would take care of his parents? Who will cultivate the more than ten acres of land contracted by his family? Does his family still want to live? β
Sister Yun used a series of rhetorical questions to explain the sufficient reason why Wang Xiaofeng could not continue to study. However, I still can't believe that Wang Xiaofeng gave up on studying for the university entrance examination, because he wanted to get ahead by taking the university entrance examination. I say:
"You're here to help him! Didn't you say that as long as Xiaofeng is willing to study, you will always wait for him and support him? β
"I said that, and I haven't taken it back yet. However, you can hear clearly, I am helping his family, not to lead his family to liveβI have no name and no share, how can I come to his house to lead his family? What do the people in the village think of me and comment on me? How could my parents agree? Now I'm just here to help his family, my parents will scold me for being cheap, and the people in the village will chew their tongues. β
"I've heard some of these things too. It's not your problem now, the key is Wang Xiaofeng, will he really agree? I still think it's a little impossible. I shook my head.
"I really agree, that's fake, he was forced to drop out of school in desperation. That day, he went to the county to get his books and bedding back, and when he got home, he cried a lot, and then, piled all the books in the yard, and burned them all, and the pain of crying was almost indescribable-" Sister Yun said and couldn't help crying.
"All burned? He doesn't plan to review for university entrance exams in the future? β
"What are you going to do? What kind of university are you going to? He said that college students are all literary stars in the sky, and not anyone who wants to be admitted can be admitted. It's like people say that the leper frog wants to eat swan meat, no matter how much it thinks and jumps, it still can't eat it after all. He shouldn't be a college student, so no matter how much he hopes, pursues, works hard, and works hard, in the end it is useless, it is all in vain, and it will only bring poverty and disaster to his family. It's better to come down early, farm or do something else, maybe you can feed the family without starving to death or freezing to death. β
"That's what he said?" Sister Yun nodded, her eyes overflowing with tears. I had to comfort her:
I'm afraid that Xiaofeng is also insincere: he used to be so resolute and determined to take the university entrance examination, because he failed the college entrance examination, he didn't eat or drink for a day and a night, and he was determined to review and retake the exam and be admitted to a better university. Now that there is a sudden 180-degree turn, and the books are burning, how is it possible to say such a thing? How can it be trusted? Sister Yun said: "I don't believe it either, but he did say so, and if he did, he had to believe it if he didn't believe it." I also know that he said this and did it because he was forced to do so, but there was no way! In the past, it was his parents who trained him to study and go to university, but now, his father is disabled and can no longer work in the fields, and it is time for him to support his parents; You say, if he doesn't drop out of school and go home to work, what else can he do? "That's true. I had no choice but to acquiesce. I sighed and said, "Alas! He said this, although it was a feudal superstitious thought, but now that he thinks and says this, maybe he will reduce some of the sadness of dropping out of school and comfort himself. Sister Yun nodded and sighed: "Now, he has no choice but to do this, and I have to promise him that I will not mention the matter of reviewing for the university entrance examination in the future." β
After work, I accompanied Sister Yun to the store to buy clothes.
I said: "You get married and buy a wedding dress, this is a happy event, you should ask Wang Xiaofeng to accompany you to buy it, he is the groom's official, and he has his own aesthetics." Besides, your couple is about to enter the marriage hall, at this moment, it should be the sweetest time, come together to buy a wedding dress, intimate and intimate, while watching, then choose, while trying on, while discussing, what kind of clothes both parties like to buy, how good is this! He may not agree with me? Sister Yun said: "I said the same too, but Xiao Feng refused to come, saying that he believed that my vision was better than his, and said that the crops in the field were about to grow barren, and he was in a hurry to hoe the weeds, so he must hoe the crops in the field before getting married." I said, "What could be more important than your marriage?" It's like this once in a lifetime, no matter how busy he is, he will accompany you. Sister Yun bowed her head and was silent when she heard this, and did not answer. I understand Wang Xiaofeng and Sister Yun's mood at this time, and I can't say anything more.
After a long time, Sister Yun saw that I didn't speak, afraid that I would misunderstand, so she took the initiative to explain: "Actually, he is in a bad mood and afraid that I will be sad, so he is just making an excuse." β
"I'm about to get married, why are I still in a bad mood? Didn't he love you all the time? Now that I'm not studying, what do I want to do if I don't get married? β
"Love me, it's true, but he never thought of getting married so soon and at this time. He originally planned to get a good job after graduating from college, build a good house, buy furniture, and then get married. In that way, he will be glorious, and his parents and family will be glorified. Now that he is getting married in a hurry, and in this case, he is completely forced to helpless; He hadn't thought about it before, but now he had to do it. β
Sister Yun can best understand Wang Xiaofeng's mood at this time: for the sake of his family and parents, he had to give up his studies, give up his beautiful ideals, and go home to farm; However, what should it be like to give up the ideal he has dreamed of for many years, but ask him to get married at this time and in this situation? So I said, "Even now, you don't have to rush to get married; You can take it a little longer, and wait for the family situation to improve, and his own mood will be better, so that all aspects of marriage will be much better, and there will be some auspicious and festive atmosphere. Sister Yun shook her head: "This is Xiaofeng's opinion, it is his father's opinion." Xiao Feng thought that his father's fall was all for him, and he was ashamed of his father, so he listened to his father's advice everywhere. "What? His father forced him to marry? I'm afraid that when you see that his family is ruined, you will not agree to marry Xiaofeng in the future? "No, it's still for the sake of his family's life."
Sister Yun said that after Wang Xiaofeng's father came home, he cried and said to Xiaofeng that their ancestors had also been glorious, the family was solid, the children and grandchildren were prosperous, and they became talented in study; I don't want to be now, the family is ruined, the people are thin, and the generations are single, and they are often looked down upon by the villagers. He originally expected Xiaofeng to study hard, be admitted to university, and glorify his ancestors in the future; I don't want God to keep his eyes open, so that the family has suffered many disasters, so that he has fallen like this. Family fortune is like this, destiny is like this, I can't resist it anymore, so I have to accept my fate. He is now physically disabled, how to live and develop this family in the future, he is powerless, and he will rely on Xiaofeng. But Xiaofeng has been studying since he was a child and does not understand farming, so it is difficult to lead the family out of the predicament. So I thought of her. said that she has followed her parents to learn farming since she was a child, understands technology, is familiar with farming, and can bear hardships and stand hard work, and can live. Only when Xiao Feng marries her as soon as possible and lets her enter this family will she play a role and take on this responsibility, so that his family can live. - That's how Xiaofeng agreed to marry her now.
Sister Yun wiped a handful of tears after speaking, with indescribable bitterness and grievances in her heart; It can be seen that she doesn't want to get married in such a hurry at this time, and she has to do it as a last resort. However, she then laughed again, and said, "Anyway, he agreed to marry me, wiped off the previous conditions, and took the initiative to ask for my opinion." What can I say? After all, this is something I have been thinking about for a long, long time, and I didn't expect it to come true so soon, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune! Although his family is in a bad situation for the time being, and I will have a lot of hardships when I get married, I can finally live with my beloved, and my heart is finally steady, and I don't have to worry about it often. β
This is Sister Yun's sincere words, I believe and can understand it. In the past, although she always said that as long as Wang Xiaofeng reviewed for the university entrance examination and went to college, she would always wait for him and support him; In fact, she is not without worries in her heart: Wang Xiaofeng is a person with a changeable personality, if he is really admitted to university and assigned to work in a big city in the future, the ghost knows if he will empathize and say goodbye? Now that she is married, her heart disease has been eliminated, as she herself said, it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
