Chapter 17 Nothing to do
Speaking of which, your father is a very wise man, and his attitude is always quite clear, and he does not interfere with the interaction between the two of us. The ideal pursuit of young people is also very realistic. Amitabha, he didn't stand on the same line of war money as your mother, he really created you and me.
Your father comforted your mother with kind words: "Isn't there such an old saying? The girl can't stay when she is older, and she stays and stays to become an enemy. Even Gege, the princess of the emperor's family, will have to marry sooner or later, not to mention the daughter of our common people! "Your mother doesn't listen to that, saying that if you marry a good family, she will send you away with gongs and drums. But you're going to Beidagang! She had already inquired, and when she went to Beidagang to go to the countryside, she was dealing with Tu Kela. Thou shalt not carry a burden on thy shoulders, nor thy hands shall carry a basket. Where can the thin skin and tender meat withstand the wind and sun!
Your dad didn't take the problem that seriously, and said: It doesn't hurt to let your child go through the storm. If you can't do it then, call her back! When your mother heard this, she became angry: "You are talking and blowing bubbles, and as soon as your household registration is moved, can you still be left to you?" Dad's expression became serious, and he told your mother: "Socialist education is going on at the moment, and if you stop you in vain and let the unit know, it will be a crime." ”
Your mother was so anxious that she cried and shouted to your father, "Then what do you call me?" Dad said with relief: "Let's recognize the situation!" Take the realization of communism as their ultimate goal. In order to realize communism, it is necessary to eliminate three major differences, namely, the difference between urban and rural areas, the difference between workers and peasants, and the difference between mental and physical labor. Let's not use our mantis arm as a car! My mother wiped her tears, sighed and said, "Alas, I even have the heart to die!" ”
It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world! Mom is understandably afraid that you will suffer outside. But after all, you have grown up and want to pursue your own life, which is understandable!
The next morning, your dad was alone in the small dining room, eating bread and drinking milk, watching the Tianjin Daily. You walk into the dining room and sit down next to your father, pick up the bread and just bite into it, but put it down again. You feel like your heart is clogged and you don't have a bit of an appetite. It's been two days, and my mother refuses to eat breakfast, which is a bet on you! Dad is also at a loss, and there is no way to take Mom.
You sighed and said, "Dad, I'm not too young, I really don't want to eat at home!" Dad nodded and said, "Xiaoya, Dad is from here, and I fully understand your feelings." Young people, full of vitality and unwilling to be lonely. If you don't release it, you will be restless. If you ask to go to the Beidagang Socialist Construction Corps, in principle, I have no objection. Mom can't figure it out for a while, so let's do the work slowly! You're in a hurry: "Dad, I really can't wait!" After the physical examination, you will have to move your household registration, where can you do your work slowly? Dad said a little gloomily: "But your mother doesn't agree, how can you go?" Xiaoya, you are the lifeblood of your mother, and you are also all the sustenance and hope of her life. She is bent on training you to become a piano artist, and she doesn't know how much effort it takes. Parents in China are very different from parents in Western countries. Thousands of years of tradition cannot be broken all at once. Therefore, when going to Beidagang, you still have to ask for your mother's consent and support. ”
Dad's attitude is very disappointing to you. Think about the time before liberation, as long as the aspiring young people were full of enthusiasm, they could go to Baota Mountain together and devote themselves to the vigorous revolutionary struggle. Now, it's so difficult to go to Beidagang by yourself. If you don't have a hukou, you won't accept it at all. Seeing that the day of formalities is getting closer and closer, your heart is so anxious.
You are anxious, I am more anxious than you, but what's the use of being anxious? I've got my family's household registration book in my arms, and I'm waiting for you! However, I have secretly made up my mind, you can't move your hukou, and I will never move. Seeing that the days passed, your mother did not have the slightest intention of relenting, I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I coaxed you to go to the People's Park to relax.
The predecessor of the People's Park was the private villa of Li Chuncheng, a wealthy salt merchant in Tianjin, named "Rongyuan", and the people of Tianjin used to call it "Li Shanren Garden". Rongyuan was founded in the second year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, that is, in 1863. After liberation, the descendants of the Li family dedicated Rongyuan to the country. The people's government carried out a comprehensive planning and transformation of the park, and it was officially opened on July 1, 1951 and renamed People's Park. There are many animals in the park, and it is actually the earliest zoo in Tianjin.
Beauty Bodhisattva, do you remember? When we were in elementary school, the class organized a garden tour, and the head teacher, Mr. Zhang, led everyone to the People's Park. At that time, you were taller than me, like a big sister, and I followed you wherever you went, so angry that you dragged me aside and threatened that if you followed me again, I would push you into the lake! It seems that this is ruthless enough, but in fact, you can't be blamed for this, because Wu Jingyuan has been staring at the two of us all the time, and he is still wantonly spreading the friendship between the two of us among his classmates. That's why you're scaring me so much to avoid suspicion. I had no choice but to leave you and climb to the dirt hill to fight with my male classmates. Playing and playing, you play out of the circle. As soon as two of my classmates and I ran to the lake, we saw a small boat on the shore, and a man got off the boat and said to us, "You guys have fun!" As soon as we heard this, we happily embraced the boat. I thought I had rowed with my father, and I swaggered my oars. Who knew that the oars of the boat turned out to be one wide and the other narrow, and depending on how you rowed, the boat was always spinning in the water. That's when I heard you shouting from the shore: "Come back!" Come back! If you don't come back, I'll call the teacher! "When I came, Mr. Zhang made three chapters of the law, the first of which was that rowing was not allowed. When we heard your shout, we hurried the boat ashore. Honestly, that little wrecked ship was really hanging. If you hadn't called us back with a loud voice, it would have been difficult for Gu to come back if he had smashed into the middle of the lake. However, although the boat was not rowed, I was quite happy in my heart, because you had been secretly watching me all along.
There is another thing that is quite humiliating, and it happened in People's Park, but I am not embarrassed to tell you. It was an autumn day, and I went to People's Park with Chubby and Piggy in the alley. At that time, we couldn't even afford the five-cent steel crash ticket money, so we secretly climbed over the wall to get in. We were happily playing on the dirt mountain, and suddenly found that there were a lot of half-red and half-green jujubes on the trees halfway up the mountainside. So, I took the lead and climbed the tree. I caught the dates that didn't need money, picked and picked, and picked two full trouser pockets. Then I saw an adult standing under the tree, looking up at me and saying, "Come down!" Come down! "I had dates in my hand, and I couldn't slip them down. The adult told me to give him the dates and slowly descend the tree. I also said stupidly, "You have to give me back the dates when I got off the tree." The adult agreed. Who knew that as soon as I came, he grabbed me with a change of face and wanted to twist me to the management office. That's when I realized that he had the "Administrator" red hoop on his arm. It's funny to say now, but it scared the hell out of me at the time. I didn't eat any of the stolen dates in my mouth, and I cheapened the administrator.
Time flies so fast, nearly ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The lake in People's Park is rippling with blue waves, and the weeping willows on the shore are swaying in the wind. It seems that in order to vent the resentment in your heart, you are desperately rowing a small boat to break the waves on the lake. There was a sudden thud, and the boat collided with another pleasure boat. Sweating profusely, you stopped the oars. I hurriedly took the oars and quickly parted ways with the boat. I pulled out a large, crumpled handkerchief from my trouser pocket and handed it to you, flattering you to wipe your sweat. You didn't even look at the handkerchief, and threw it into the lake at once, and asked me how many days I haven't washed the handkerchief? At the time, I was embarrassed. My sister washed the handkerchief a few days ago, and I didn't use it for a long time, so I crumpled it in my pocket. I really haven't blown my nose!
You didn't have the heart to listen to me explain this, so you told me with a bluff that your mother pinned the household registration book to the waistband of her pants and asked me what to do? Oh my God, what can I do? I said: "It would be good if we had the kung fu of Jiang Ping, the river rat, and the magic of flying eaves and walls, are you afraid that you won't be able to steal a household registration book?" You were so angry that you teased me with the lake water: "When is it, still playing poor!" ”
I wiped a handful of water droplets from my face and said on a whim, "Xiaoya, how about calling your dad to be a river rat?" Your eyes widen: "You're still playing poor with me, aren't you?" I hurriedly explained to you, "I'm really not kidding you!" It's much more convenient for your father to find a way to help get the household registration book out! You say, "My dad is very old-fashioned, so he won't do the thing of a rooster and a dog thief!" I said worriedly: "But you don't have a She Taijun in your family, and no one can stop your mother!" "You grabbed the paddle and slapped it on the water, and I almost choked on the splash. You say angrily, "Have you had a serious word these days?" Okay, you can go by yourself, I won't go to Beidagang! ”
Actually, I know you're talking about anger. You know that if you can't go to Beidagang, I won't go either. At this time, neither of us had the heart to row, and let the boat ripple on the water.
After a while, you came to your senses and said listlessly: "Otherwise, don't go to Beidagang, go to your Nankai University!" After four years, no matter how you mix, I will marry you. I said a little reluctantly, "That's it?" You sigh and say, "Actually, my heart is like a mess." You see my mother is sad like that, if I go hard, it will be too ruthless, right? ”
What you said is not unreasonable, leaving your mother alone is indeed too unfilial.
You suddenly asked me, "The two of us are good, are we childhood sweethearts?" Was it love at first sight? Or is it a friend in trouble? I thought for a moment and said, "It's best to be friends in trouble!" You nodded and said, "You're right, the wind knows the grass, and the road knows the horsepower." Only friends in distress can be heart-to-heart. I suddenly became emotional and said, "Xiaoya, I also figured it out, your mother is making trouble for your own good, what are you doing with her?" Your mother is not our class enemy, so why insist on breaking the net with her. Let's go to Beidagang is just a means, but the purpose is to get rid of Yijingli. To tell you a heart-wrenching word, I don't care if I go to Beidagang or not. As long as I can be with you, I can go anywhere! ”
You laughed at me and said, "You men, you really have no chance to get home, where are your ideals?" Bao Zi, I told you a long time ago, I promised to be good with you, that is, I fancy you have ideals and ambitions. I don't expect you to move here, but I hope you can become a writer. If you know all day about walking around a pomegranate skirt, I might as well go into a nunnery! I hurriedly said, "Look at you! Look at you! Did I say I gave up my dream of being a writer? Dong Qichang, a great calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, said well, read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles, get rid of dust in the chest, camp in the natural hills and ravines, and set up a Hu. To be a writer, you have to go south and north, go through vicissitudes, and only then will you have a god. For writers, no matter where they go, as long as they have a stack of paper and a pen, they can still write in the ravines. It's not like you who play the piano, if you don't carry that big guy, it's not much different from the one who plays cotton! ”
You reach out and screw my mouth: "You laugh at me again, don't you!" I laughed and said, "Miss!" Miss! It's all tongue to fault! Xiaoya, it hurts too much to twist your mouth, you can beat it twice! You relentlessly say, "Tell me to bite my tongue, and I won't be angry." "I had to obediently stick out my tongue and tell you to bite. You really bared your little white teeth and bit my tongue. I wrinkled my nose and endured the pain, but there was a hint of sweetness in my heart.
You ask, "Does it hurt?" ”
I said, "It doesn't hurt!" ”
You say, "Hmph, the tears are coming out, and they say they don't hurt!" Let's row and go home! ”
I paddled hard with my sculls, and the boat sailed like an arrow to the marina. Although we didn't come up with a good solution, we agreed that we wouldn't fight your mother anymore.
