Chapter 16: Resistance to Breaking Out of the Cage

When you return home and see that your mother is in a good mood, you have a tactful showdown with her, and the result is like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the two of you almost start a big debate in life.

Your mother resolutely said, "No! Don't even dream about it! I have long known about the establishment of the 'Beidagang Socialist Construction Group' in the 641 factory in Beidagang, and I have also heard about it. When you go there, what's the difference between going up and down to the countryside? You say, "Mom, do you want me to be an old girl at home?" Mom said, "You're a flower in a greenhouse!" You ask your mother, "You've seen "How Steel is Made", you must remember Tonya, you wish I was Tonya, right?" Mom said, "You are not Tonya, and Bao Jianming is not Paul!" You rightly say, "But you wish I was Tonya, didn't you?" Tell me to find a rich husband to marry, and live in a comfortable nest, but I don't care whether I like that man or not. When you were young, why didn't you go out into the world with my dad instead of the flowers in the greenhouse? In that kind of society, you know that you have to break free from the shackles and pursue your own happiness. I live in a new society, why don't I have this power? ”

Mom sat down on the sofa in a daze, looked at you in surprise and said, "Xiaoya, how can you question Mom like this?" You slow down and say, "Mom, I'm upsetting you, right?" But I don't want to live in a gold cage. There is no freedom, and there is no heaven and earth of one's own, so you can't suffocate me alive! My mother said sadly: "Over the years, although my mother has lived a pampered life, her life has not been easy. Xiaoya, you still don't know what life is, and you don't understand what it means to be struggling. Chinese are born with a calf protection complex. Everything I'm doing right now isn't all for your good. At my age, you will truly understand what it means to pity the hearts of parents in the world. Say, "But you have made my life too heavy." My mother's heart sank, and she deliberately avoided saying, "I'm tired and don't want to debate with you anymore." But you remember, I will never give up the power of a mother. "Your desire to go to Beidagang was resolutely rejected by your mother. In the face of your mother's stubbornness, you don't know how to deal with it?

Do you remember? It was a clear day, with a clear blue sky and snow-white clouds. The two of us came to the dirt hill garden in front of the gymnasium and sat back to back on the dirt slope of the rockery. I ask you, "Did your parents agree?" But you ask, "Did your father and mother agree?" So I proudly said, "I am in charge of my affairs, and they can't control me." ”

You couldn't help but cry out: "Look at it, look at it, how democratic and free your family is, I envy such a family." Alas, my mom is so stubborn! When you said that, I was so angry that I said almost in a flattering tone: "Xiaoya, you shouldn't use the word 'stubborn' to talk about your mother." You glared at me, "What's the matter?" She's not your mother-in-law! Anyway, I've already thought about it, if she doesn't agree, I'll sign up secretly! I was so overwhelmed by your words that I couldn't help but ask, "Can that work?" ”

You tapped my arm and said, "Why can't that?" In the past, how many enthusiastic young people resolutely broke with the feudal family and embarked on the revolutionary road in pursuit of freedom. Shouldn't I go to Beidagang to participate in socialist construction and dedicate oil to the motherland? I said, "Well, I'll listen to you!" When the time comes, don't say that your mother is the one who abducted you. You blink your eyes and say, "Why does this sound so awkward, what if you run away?" This is to join the revolution, not to elope with you! I smiled and said, "With you, I feel like I have a backbone." You say, "I want to beat you again!" What's it all about? In fact, you have more ghost eyes than me, and now you are pretending to be a bird. ”

In this way, the two of us walked out of Tushan Park and went straight to the street office. That mood is like when the revolutionary youth went to Yan'an. We came to the registration desk and filled out the form without hesitation. When the two of us walked out of the building of the street office, we met Guo Jiahang and Pang Shude who also came to the compound. They were joined by a beautiful girl.

As soon as Pang Shude saw you, he ran over happily and asked quite affectionately: "Sister, have you finished registering?" You smile and say, "It's over!" Guo Jiahang slapped Pang Shude's head and said: "Why don't you have a taboo, you always pick up other people's girlfriends, aren't you afraid that Bao Ye will be jealous?" Bao Ye, Pang Shude, this kid is too sexy, you have to be careful with him! Pang Shude said with a smile: "My sister is so beautiful, it's an irresistible temptation!" As soon as I saw my sister, these two feet were like encountering magnets, and somehow they were sucked in front of my sister. Hehe, as long as my sister doesn't dislike it, I don't care if Brother Bao is jealous! ”

The girl standing next to her was smiling, her watery eyes looking at us both. Especially when I look at you, the eyes are a little weird. In those strange eyes, there seemed to be a lot of curiosity, a lot of admiration, and a lot of jealousy. At this time, you can't help but look at her coldly. When the girl saw what Guo Jiahang was going to say, she coughed deliberately. Guo Jiahang was reminded, and hurriedly pulled her forward and said, "Come, let me introduce you to you, this is the Ga girl in our alley, and there is nothing she is afraid of in heaven and earth." Grandpa carried the wharf at Gate No. 6 in Tianjin, and the sacks of one hundred and eighty pounds were stacked in two, and he carried them and left. Dad is an old blacksmith with three stones, and the big bellows pulled by four people can be dragged by one person. ”

I exclaimed in amazement: "Isn't this Lu Zhishen uprooting the weeping willows?" The girl said, "Listen to his nonsense!" Guo Jiahang said: "Nonsense? Which one of your family is not a Hercules! Let's just say that we are all big and small guys in the alley, and who can break your wrists can beat you? You couldn't help but look at the girl curiously, and said, "Are you really strong?" Guo Jiahang said: "She is not only powerful, but also has outstanding martial arts, and has won the second prize of sanda." Amazing! The girl said generously, "You, you have said a lot of nonsense, and you have not reported my name." Two, my name is Ye Baixiang! ”

Ye Baixiang stretched out her hand to me, I had to shake it, but it didn't matter, that hand was clenched by her and hurt, so I couldn't help but say: "Hey, I really have strength!" Xiaoya, don't shake it, her hand is too strong. You put your hands behind your back, looked at Ye Baixiang with a smile and said, "With such a friend with you, you dare to go anywhere." Ye Baixiang said: "You are right! I'll dare to accompany you anywhere but hell. Guo Zi, let's sign up quickly! ”

Pang Shude hurriedly leaned over to you: "Sister, can I go to your house to play?" Guo Jiahang pulled Pang Shude over: "What do you kid want to do?" I patted Pang Shude on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Fatty, it's not that I'm jealous." Sister Ou's house is heavily fenced, and I can't easily get in, let alone you! Pang Shude shouted: "I'm different from you! Guo Jiahang slapped Pang Shude: "I know it's different, and your mother is so poor!" This is when I met Bao Ye's good temper, if it were me, your mother would have measured it with a big mouth. Let's go, sign up! Pang Shude still shouted loudly: "I'm just different from him!" I like Sister Ou because I see her as a painting! ”

I sound weird fresh, and there are people who like women so much, it's so holy! Seeing Guo Jiahang, Ye Baixiang and Pang Shude walking towards the building, I took you out of the door of the street office.

Walking on the side of the road, you deliberately asked me: "Hey, how do you feel when you hold Ye Baixiang's hand?" I didn't even notice that your tone was full of sarcasm, and I said stupidly, "She's quite energetic." You smiled wickedly and said, "In addition to being energetic, that hand is quite gentle, isn't it?" Then I suddenly became alert, and pretended to say, "Gentle fart! The palms of the hands are full of calluses, about the same as the heels of an old woman. You laughed and said sarcastically, "Baozi, you just talk nonsense!" Since it's the same as the old woman's heels, why do you grab someone's hand and shake it around and refuse to let go? I suddenly cried out, "Is that me holding her hand?" That's her holding my hand, and she won't let go for a long time! You pouted and said, "Brother Abalone, you are about to become a coriander glutton, everyone loves you!" I sneered at each other and said, "That's you who everyone loves!" Walking on the road, who doesn't want to take a few more glances at you? Even a fool like Pang Shude wants to hang you at home as a painting! You smile and say, "Then go find a Muslim girl, go out with a veil and wrap your face tightly, and then there will be no turning back." ”

I was just about to reply, but I didn't know where this kid came from. He ran over with a hippie smile and shouted vigorously: "Fate, I've met you two again!" I said disdainfully, "What are you doing here?" Wu Jingyuan said: "Domineering is not domineering!" The office is not opened by your family, so if you are allowed to come, I will not be allowed to come? ”

This nasty guy has monkey-sharp eyes, and he saw at a glance that the two of us were holding the registration form to go to Beidagang in their hands, so he called out, saying that the two of us are too uninteresting, such a big good thing, why don't you drag him! It's really disappointing to kill such a narrow ghost halfway. You didn't bother to talk to him, and without saying a word, you pulled me across the street. Wu Jingyuan may have been calmed by your attitude and didn't dare to chase us anymore.

On the way home, we hummed Johann Strauss's "The Blue Danube". Shunshun passed the first hurdle on the spot, and the two of us were so happy. As I walked, I suddenly stopped: "Xiaoya, it's easy to sign up, but it's hard to move your household registration!" You say, nonchalantly, "It's okay! Since you can sign up secretly, you can secretly move your household registration. "I saw that you were so confident, and you also threw all your worries to Java. Unexpectedly, I stepped on the watermelon rind and squatted on my ass with a bang. You stood aside and saw me grinning in pain, and you couldn't stop laughing. However, it was too bad for me to fall on my head.

You go home and rummage through boxes and cabinets to find a household register, only to find nothing. Looks like the trouble is coming, maybe it really has something to do with my ass squat. Your mother walks into the room and asks, "What are you churning about?" You say, "Mom, have you hidden your household register?" A triumphant smile appeared on the corner of my mother's mouth: "Hmph, I knew you secretly signed up, so what?" Without a household registration book, you still can't go! You are anxious and say, "Are you going to stop me from revolutionizing?" My mother shouted: "You get rid of your mother's life first, and then go to Beidagang for revolution!" ”

You deliberately scare your mother and say, "Mom, don't force me!" Mom was angry: "Did I force you?" You're pushing mom! Seeing that you are going to endure hardship, my heart is going to break when I am a mother. Xiaoya, I worked so hard to support you so much, and my mother trembled with distress when you broke a little bit of skin on your body. Now that you're going to leave your mother and run to a place where even birds don't to suffer, aren't you going to kill your mother? You say, "Then I'll stay at home forever?" ”

My mother almost pleaded, "Xiaoya, do you think this is good?" Aren't you in love with Bao Jianming? Well, Mom respects your choice. When he graduates from college, let him join our Ou family and be a son-in-law who is inverted. This...... You should be satisfied, right? You say, "It can't be!" Mom was anxious: "Impossible? Xiaoya, didn't you go to Beidagang just for him? Say, "No, I am for my own sake." The environment here suffocates me, and if I continue to live like this, I will go crazy! Mom looked at you in surprise and said, "What?" What did you say? Is that how depressing your home is? Xiaoya, are you really going to tear my heart apart, will you give up? ”

Mom suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed on the sofa. You were immediately frightened, and hurriedly rushed to your mother, gently rubbing her chest, and almost crying out, "Mom! Can't you read your daughter's heart? Mom didn't speak, tears rolling down her cheeks. You are also very sad to see your mother so sad. It seems that this matter is really not easy to do. If you can't get the household registration book, going to Beidagang can only be an empty dream.

It's dark, and you lock yourself in your room and play Debussy's piano piece "Moonlight" quietly. The beautiful melody vividly depicts a poetic picture, the tranquil moon, through the gently floating evening clouds, sprinkling the bright moonlight on the calm water. The silver glow of ice makes the dreamlike moonlit night even more charming.

In all fairness, your mother's love for you is selfless. Your piano talent has brought her so much joy and hope. Now you are going to abandon the piano and follow me to Beidagang for field labor. Once the knuckles of the fingers are deformed, the dream of a pianist is completely shattered. Seeing her daughter ruining her bright future, how could she not be worried? However, she didn't want to think about the real situation, obviously the dream of a pianist couldn't come true, why did she hold on to that dream?
