Volume 1: The Temptation of Gray Chapter 4: Helpless Choice
After Huang Chunlan's husband died, she paid great attention to her behavior, for fear of being gossiped and smeared on the faces of her children.
A helpless reality lies in front of her.
Her two sons were in the countryside and were not transferred back to the city. She looked for the station leader for this matter, hoping that the station would come forward to coordinate, take special care of these two sons, even if only one of them, and transfer them back to the city as soon as possible.
The station also sent someone to coordinate, and the other party agreed very happily, but when it came to the specific implementation, the situation was full of problems.
People can come up with all kinds of reasons to explain that her two sons do not meet the conditions for being transferred back to the city, so that the station leaders are powerless.
Everyone is a neighbor, and they usually get together to chat when they have nothing to do, Tian Laofu can let Tian Xiu return to his hometown, giving Huang Chunlan an important revelation.
Don't look at Tian Laofu's usual silence, when it comes to the critical moment, people really have a way. Tian Xiu's return to his hometown is equivalent to finding a regular job in advance.
Tian Li will graduate from junior high school next year.
Huang Chunlan specially asked Tian Laofu what arrangements he had for Tian Li.
"If she wants, I'll send her back to her hometown." Most of Tian Laofu's remarks have elements of bragging.
Huang Chunlan believed it.
Tian Laofu's eldest brother has strength in his hometown, he can arrange for Tian Xiu to return to his hometown to join the queue, and he will definitely be able to arrange Tian Li in.
Huang Chunlan came up with an idea, if her daughter Xu Ying took Tian Li's hitchhike and also went back to Tian Laofu's hometown to cut the queue, it would be equivalent to finding a regular job in advance.
Tian Laofu had a little bit of thought about Huang Chunlan, she had long known it.
Thinking that after the children got married and started a business, leaving her alone at home and living a lonely life, it was really better to take a step forward and find a good person who knew the roots and lived together.
Tian Laofu is really not easy, his wife died early, he is both a father and a mother, and he can raise three children, which shows that he is a down-to-earth person.
Huang Chunlan loves cleanliness, and when she thinks of Tian Laofu dressed up like a flower all day long, she has an indescribable disgust in her heart.
When she was chatting, she deliberately reminded Tian Laofu to pay attention to her image. Unexpectedly, Tian Laofu took her words as a holy decree, and began to brush his teeth and shave his beard the next day, and deliberately changed into a set of railway uniforms.
People are clothes, horses are saddles, one looks at the other to see through.
Tian Laofu didn't deliberately dress up. He just began to pay attention to personal hygiene according to the normal lifestyle, which gave Huang Chunlan a new understanding of him.
If you use Xi Shi in the eyes of a lover to describe Huang Chunlan's feelings for Tian Laofu, it is a bit exaggerated.
Huang Chunlan was only forced by life, for the sake of her daughter's future, and because of her love for Tian Laofu, she decided to accept this marriage.
The farce of Xiaolin completely subverted Huang Chunlan's three views, and she didn't know what to do next.
The best way is to marry Tian Laofu immediately, and use practical actions to block people's gossip before the rumors spread.
It's easy to think about, but it's so hard to do, that they have to give an account to their children first.
She didn't know if the three children of the Tian family could accept this reality.
Just because she went to Tian's house and Tian Xiu looked at her cold eyes, it was enough to conclude that the two girls must be opposed.
Huang Chunlan thought of her four children again.
Even if her daughter Xu Ying is opposed, she may be able to remain silent because of her insistence. If you don't get it right, you can still come up with a sentence: Who are you looking for, why do you want to find Tian Laofu.
Huang Chunlan didn't need to ask her three sons to know the answer, and they would definitely be resolutely opposed.
This was due to the social climate of the time.
One is that the ideology is conservative, and the other is that people are terrible.
The father died, the mother was going to remarry, and the son was faceless.
It is said that raising children to prevent old age.
The mother was forced to choose to remarry because her sons were unfilial or incapable of ensuring a happy life in her old age.
Huang Chunlan's biggest worry is the turmoil in Xiaolin, once her three sons hear it, she can't hold her head up in front of her children in her life, let alone face her neighbors.
It's a harsh reality.
The town's railroad housing is not large, and most families live below the poverty line.
People with better conditions can have a sewing machine or radio, and most families really regard flashlights as the only household appliances.
After dinner, people have nothing to do, so they go to the west to find some boring and trivial topics to pass the leisure time. The scandal between Zhang's parents and Li Jiaxiao has naturally become a topic of conversation.
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
Huang Chunlan and Tian Laofu ran into the grove in broad daylight, people don't need to guess, just say that they must not have done a good job, otherwise, why were they arrested by the stick team.
Most people with conservative ideologies are short-sighted. A housewife like Huang Chunlan has no other pursuits than to take face very seriously.
When Huang Chunlan cried for a long time, she was also fascinated for a while. She gritted her teeth and made a cross-hearted decision, it was better to die than let people gossip.
At that time, almost every home had dichlorvos.
In the summer, it is mixed with water and sprinkled in the house to kill insects and mosquitoes, and some people also sprinkle this medicine on their own gardens.
Huang Chunlan drank a whole bottle of dichlorvos, found out the clothes she was willing to wear during the New Year's holidays, and lay on the kang and waited for death.
Her third son, Xu Jian, happened to be off duty, and when he came back from outside, he smelled a smell of dichlorvos as soon as he entered the house.
At first, Xu Jian thought that his mother had used dichlorvos to kill insects and mosquitoes. Seeing that my mother was neatly dressed, lying on the kang with her eyes closed, I felt a little strange.
He approached his mother, and before he could speak, he found that white foam was flowing from the corner of his mother's mouth, and then he vomited. He knew that something was wrong, so he ran to the railway health center with his mother on his back.
At that time, many people couldn't think about it for a while, and they all chose to drink dichlorvos and commit suicide.
According to legend, dichlorvos manufacturers deliberately mixed dichlorvos with vomiting medicine, once people drink dichlorvos, they will vomit, so as to minimize the harm to the body.
The doctors at the railway clinic are also used to this kind of thing. They used soapy water to wash Huang Chunlan's stomach, and then transferred her to the steel mill for further treatment.
In a word, Huang Chunlan turned the corner and picked up a life.
The news spread.
Huang Chunlan and Tian Laofu went to the grove and were caught by the stick team and cleaned up. Huang Chunlan felt embarrassed, her face was dull, and she wanted to drink dichlorvos to commit suicide.
I don't know what Tian Laofu thinks, Huang Chunlan can't wait to hide her face in her crotch.
The Tian family was the first to hear the news.
Bad Gaga's younger brother gave birth to a child, and when he heard the news, he seemed to have found a treasure. He deliberately found a broken shoe, tied it with hemp rope, and waited for Xiao Hei to appear at the school gate, pounced on it and hung the broken shoe around Xiao Hei's neck.
His two subordinates twisted Xiao Hei's two arms and lifted them up, and Xiao Hei bent down.
"Come and see, Xiao Hei's dad broke his shoes and was caught by the stick team." Shengzi shouted at the top of his voice, attracting a large group of classmates to watch.
Coincidentally, Tian Li and Xu Ying came to school together, and saw Xiao Hei being bullied again from a distance. Without saying a word, they rushed up to separate the crowd and beat these bad boys with their heads and faces.
Shengzi was slapped a few times, and felt that he had no face, so he shouted: "Your mother and your father broke their shoes, and you still licked your face and beat me." ”
Tian Li and Xu Ying were stunned for a moment, the two glanced at each other, and grabbed Shengzi to go to the teaching office.
Shengzi felt that he was on the side of justice, and he told the teacher of the teaching office about the hearsay rumors.
Tian Li and Xu Ying were so surprised that their eyes straightened.
The two of them left the teaching office together, and after walking not far away, Tian Li whispered, "It's your mother's fault." ”
"You fart!" Xu Ying didn't think twice and immediately shot back.
Tian Li was angry and annoyed, her anger had already reached her head, and she waved her hand and slapped Xu Ying.
The anger in Xu Ying's heart was even stronger than Tian Li.
Mom committed suicide by poisoning inexplicably, she and her third brother Xu Jian were frightened, but they couldn't ask the reason, and the son gave her an accurate answer.
People have a habit of thinking that once the affairs of men and women are exposed, the main responsibility must be put on the man first.
Your dad bullied my mom, and you dared to beat me, I fought with you.
Xu Ying rushed over with a "whoop" and fought desperately with Tian Li.
Xiao Hei was greatly wronged, he was ashamed and ashamed, took off the broken shoes hanging around his neck, slammed them on the ground, turned around and ran.
Tian Laofu worked the night shift tonight, he was lying on the kang, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't feel sleepy.
Yesterday's incident made him make up his mind, this matter is not too late, he must have a showdown with Huang Chunlan as soon as possible, and seize the time to register his marriage.
Early in the morning, he stood at the gate of the courtyard, wanting to meet Huang Chunlan to talk about marriage.
He couldn't wait for the left and the right to see Huang Chunlan, he had the heart to go to Xu's house to find Huang Chunlan, and suddenly saw Huang Chunlan's two eldest sons, and hurriedly walked into the alley.
"Why are you two back?" Tian Laofu took the initiative to say hello.
When the two brothers saw Tian Laofu, their faces immediately turned red. The boss Xu Tian walked up to Tian Laofu and whispered, "My mother has three long and two short, I will kill you." ”
Tian Laofu gasped, not knowing the origin of Xu Tian's words. He had the heart to ask a few words, but was pushed away by the second Xu Bing.
Seeing this, the neighbors on the side were worried that Tian Laofeng would fight with the two brothers, so they hurriedly came over to appease Tian Laofu and told Tian Laofu that Huang Chunlan committed suicide by taking poison last night, but fortunately she was rescued.
Tian Laofu's head "sighed", and he almost fell to the ground one by one.
He returned home, lay on the kang, and wanted to find an excuse to beat Tian Xiu.
Tian Xiu is his biological daughter, and she has never left home since she was a child, and Tian Laofu is very familiar with Tian Xiu's voice.
Yesterday outside the grove, the person who shouted was Tian Xiu.
If he had done something else, Tian Laofu would have been able to fight Tian Xiuda last night. Only this kind of thing, he really can't say it as a father.
Yesterday, the old Gu of the trade union sent him and Huang Chunlan to the mouth of the alley by car, and wanted to say a few words to him before parting.
Lao Gu was depressed for a while, and he didn't find the right words, so he just smiled, waved his hand and said, "Let's go." ”
Tian Laofu's face hurt as if he was being pumped by Lao Gu with the sole of his shoe.
He watched Lao Gu and the director of the neighborhood committee muttering for a while, and guessed that Lao Gu must know the reason, but the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and he was embarrassed to ask anything more.
If you want to say that Tian Xiu is really a big fool, whether you oppose it or monitor it, you shouldn't have done it, you shouldn't have gone to the neighborhood committee to report it, causing such a big mess.
Fortunately, Huang Chunlan had a big life and was rescued, otherwise, Tian Laofu would not forgive Tian Xiu in his life.
It's over, this twilight love between him and Huang Chunlan is completely over.
Thinking of this, Tian Laofu couldn't stop sighing.
With a "bang", the door was kicked open, Xiao Hei ran into the house, opened his mouth and shouted: "Who told you to break your shoes with the Yellow Widow." ”
Tian Laofu seemed to have been shocked, he sat up all of a sudden, and saw Xiao Hei's face full of tears, panting incessantly, and his eyes were already red with anger that he had never had.
Tian Xiu was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen. She heard Xiao Hei's roar, rushed into the house, dragged Xiao Hei and walked out, and said as she walked: "Dad is on the night shift tonight, don't disturb him sleeping." ”
"It's all your doing!" Tian Laofu couldn't hold back any longer, he slapped the kang mat with his hand, and trembled with anger.
Xiao Hei didn't go to school anymore, he sat on the sidelines all day, ignoring his father.
Tian Laofu is ashamed of his son.
If he heard that the bad boy named Shengzi hung a broken shoe around his son's neck, and Tian Li and Xu Ying turned against each other because of this, he would definitely be able to scold Tian Xiu.
Tian Xiu completed his mission and decided that Huang Chunlan would never have any thoughts about his father again.
She also had a hunch that sooner or later her father would find an excuse to attack her. He began to pack his things and prepare to fly away and return to his hometown tomorrow.
Tian Laofu finally stayed up until the evening, he took Xiao Hei's hand and said, "Go to Duanli with Dad to take a bath." ”
This is one of the few benefits for the families of railway employees.
The unit has a bathhouse, and the family can borrow it with it. From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Hei went to the depot with his father to take a bath.
Other people's children go to their parents' units to take a bath and go home directly. Xiao Hei is different, every time he comes to Duan Li to take a bath, he has to go to the cafeteria with his father and have a beautiful meal.
The so-called food is nothing more than meat dishes, with mixed noodles and steamed buns, what you eat is fresh.
Today is no exception, Tian Laofu took his son's hand and went to the canteen to eat first.
Tonight's cafeteria has a rare good dish of rice, mushu meat, rice.
"Boy, you're a good mouthful." Tian Laofu bought a plate of mushu meat and a portion of rice, and looked at the little black wind with a smile on his face.
Then, he took Xiao Hei to take a bath.
When it was getting dark, he sent Xiao Hei outside the Duan Gate, and did not forget to advise: "Go home directly, don't run around." ”
The wretchedness that Xiao Hei suffered at school in the morning disappeared because of this meal.
He went home happy.
