Sun Yuhou's family is now in a mess. Orchid is crying her nose a tear, telling her mother how the gunman pulled her man away from home. This kind, illiterate woman can't judge the depth of such a thing at all.
At first, she thought they were going to drag the man out and shoot him. Only later did the village tell her that Wang Manyin had been dragged to her mother's village for reeducation through labour. She then blocked Lanxiang from returning home from school by the road, let her sister watch her door, dragged her two children to her mother's door and asked the public how to deal with her man. She's not thinking about anything else now. She's only concerned about her man's fate. Listen to Shuangshui village people say, now four people loaded earth, let her man push the car to run, and the gunman followed behind his buttocks. Her heart is breaking! Doll's old man has not suffered, this will be his life in a few days? It was also said that her father was forced to fill up with silver; he was a face-loving man and might have found shortsightedness.
Orchid is most anxious now that her eldest brother Shao An is not at home. There's such a big thing happening at home. If you don't settle down, people still have a support in their hearts. But Shao An went to Mijia Town to work.
By the way, although Mijia Town belongs to other counties, the old society was a big town. People around Shuangshui Village wanted to buy something important. If Shiwei Festival did not exist, they would not go to their original Western County Town. They would all go to Mijia Town in other counties to buy something important. Mijia Town is not only close to here, but also has a better supply of goods than their county towns - not only in our province, but also in Beijing and Tianjin.
But Sun Shaoan did not go to Mijia Town to buy things, but went to see the animals in the team. Sick is the best cow in the team. There was no veterinary station on Shiwei Festival. This morning, the captain went to Mijia Town with his cattle. Orchid knows that Mijia Town is more than 30 miles away from Shuangshui Village. The cattle are walking slowly. Shao An may not be able to return to Shuangshui Village tonight.
Now, the frightened woman was just pulling at her mother's sleeve and crying. Her thin and thin mother had to cry with her. The two adults wept too much for the dolls. The cat and dog eggs did not know what was wrong with the two adults. They also grabbed their mother and grandmother's legs and let their voices go. People who don't know the inside story will think that the family is really dead when they hear this earth-shaking cry.
This situation can frighten Yuhou on the back of the kang. The Qing Dynasty Guangxu was born in 23 years, and now he is almost 80 years old. He was half paralyzed in Kang several years ago. Now she blinked in horror with old red eyes, and saw the family howling and crying, wondering what great disaster had happened. Her ears don't hold much. She can't understand what her granddaughter is saying to her daughter-in-law. She knew only from the crying and the expression on their faces that there had been a disaster at home. With a faint voice, she kept questioning the two men in the front Kang on the back Kang head, one after another. But the two younger generations in the former Kang only care about themselves crying, and do not care to say to her. She was so anxious that she cursed the two men. Later, it seemed that she saw her daughter-in-law turn her head and say something to her, but she did not hear. When she was ready to listen to her daughter-in-law again, her daughter-in-law turned to talk to her granddaughter. For a long time, she just vaguely heard the word "gun". Guns? Is the world the opposite? Since the Republic of China, she has experienced countless rebellions. She could not remember how many of her mother's and husband's families had lost their lives in these rebellions. Would she have to look at the intestines of her deceased loved ones before she slept in the loess?
Who's wrong now? Where did the team go? If it's not far from Shuangshui Village, why don't the family run fast and sit here crying? Where are the men now? Run as fast as you can! She can't run. She's alive enough. She's not going to suffer from this life crime when she's shot. Ah ah! Maybe someone in the family has killed the White Army. They are not running now. Who is it? In her mind, she began to order family members; although she had forgotten many of her former acquaintances, she would not forget one. She could count the people outside the house. Yuhou? Didn't he eat at home in the morning? Jade Pavilion? He is over the age of serving in the army. So, it seems that who happened to be the grandson? Yuting's three girls will not; Yuhou's two girls are still young at school, so they are not expected to go to war, and they are not old enough for conscription. So it must be Shao'an. By the way! The doll hasn't seen each other for a day. Oh, my God. Yesterday was still in front of us. Did we just go out today and get on the fire line? No sooner had it been on the line of fire than..."
When the old lady thought that her grandson had been shot dead, she burst into tears in the back kang: "My hard-working Ann!" I did not eat or drink Ann ah! I haven't had the peace of life yet! Sigh - Yo Yo Yo Yo..."
She saw that the mother and son of the orchid in the former Kang turned their heads and talked to her. Although she could not hear what they said, she could see that it was to stop her crying. Ghosts and grandchildren! Ann is dead. You cry. Why don't you let me cry? You kiss him, don't I kiss him! No matter what they say, she just cries for her dead Ann!
At this time, Shaoping and Lanxiang entered the house. When he saw the two returning, the orchid mother and daughter stopped crying one after another, except the old grandmother continued to cry. Shaoping took out some fruit candies he bought in the city and stuffed them in the hands of two nephews. The cat's eggs and the dog's eggs were so happy that they rushed to their mouths.
Shaoping looked at his mother and sister with tears on their faces and said, "What are you crying about?" When things go wrong, they press out!" Lanxiang said nothing, quietly lifted a pig bucket and went out to feed the pigs. The sensible child knows that she can't help with such a big thing at home. It's better to do something practical so as to save troubled adults some trouble. She saw her mother and sister sitting on the Kang crying, knowing that the pig had not yet been fed - the pig was the lifeblood of their family. Every spring my elder brother borrows money to buy a pig doll. The size of the family helps to feed him till the end of the year. He is too fat to walk. In the new year, the family never killed a pig; in order to change the whole money, it was sold alive. The pig money is the second year family's "bank", which includes paying tuition fees to her and her second brother, buying books and some necessary learning utensils.
After Lanxiang left, Shaoping found that her grandmother was still crying, and saw her gesture to greet him to come to her.
He hurried up to Kang and squatted in front of his sitting grandmother, ready to lift her from the pile of ragged bedding. Shaoping thought Grandma wanted to go to the toilet, and promptly motioned his sister to bring in the bedpan outside the door. Then the orchid and her mother turned their attention to the old man and rushed to find the bedpan for fear that the old man would leave his excrement and urine on the kang.
The old lady is still crying for the dead Shao'an. While crying, she angrily uses gestures to stop them from finding her bedpan. She also expresses strong indignation on her face because she misunderstood the meaning of the orchid mother and daughter who had not explained the disaster to her before. She cried hoarsely, "My Ann..." Then he grabbed Shao Ping's collar with one hand and let him get as close as possible to her.
The old lady cried and asked Shaoping, "Take Ann... The gun hit... Where is it?"
"What?" Shaoping asked aloud, not listening to what Qing Nan said.
"Ann's... The corpse... Did you pull it back?
"Ah ah! My brother is fine! Who told you..." Shao Ping smiled sadly.
"They say... Gun shot... So who is it ____________? Killed?" "Nobody died! All alive!" Shaoping said aloud.
"Then your sister... Your sister... Who's crying?" "It's my brother-in-law! He..." Shaoping did not know how to explain this to the anxious old ancestors.
"Your brother-in-law... What's wrong? The old lady stopped crying. Oh! To her relief, nothing happened to her closest relatives. For her, Orchid's son-in-law, though important, is not as important as the rest of the family.
Shaoping still did not know how to tell his grandmother about his brother-in-law, so he said casually, "He made some mistakes, and they let him reeducate through labor!"
"Cat... Call? The old lady didn't understand what it meant.
Shao Ping couldn't help laughing.
Shaoping's mother had already given up the Kang and said to her son, "You have nothing to say to Grandma."
"You and my sister cry, she saw, can you coax?"
At this time, the old lady was even more anxious, pointing to the cat's eggs which ate sugar on the ground of her feet and saying, "Yes... Cat eggs? Isn't she good?"
"No, it's my brother-in-law!" Shaoping is also in a hurry.
The old man seemed to have to break the casserole and ask if it was okay. She clutched Shao Ping's collar tightly with her thin hand and asked, "Your brother-in-law... What happened? The cat barks... What's the matter?
Shaoping exclaimed, "It's not cat barking, it's reeducation through labor! It's like being naughty and having your husband give you a lecture! " He was in a hurry, and improvised an explanation that Grandma could understand.
"Oh..." Only then did the old man breathe, and his thin hands opened his collar and closed his eyes wearily. She understood. Well, that's a shit! Is it worth crying? In the old society, Sir often swollen the hands of the study doll with a tie ruler, which was as swollen as a steamed haircut. What is a lecture? An imaginary horror disappeared in her mind and, as usual, she immediately entered a state of unconsciousness.
Shaoping now remembers that he also bought two bottles of eyedrops and a painkiller for his grandmother with the money that Runye gave him. Grandma is sick all over her body, especially her eyes. She has been sick for many years. The family can not afford to buy medicine, Grandma also refused to buy, and finally dragged into a chronic disease. I remember when I was a child, every summer morning, he and Lanxiang went to the field to pull out some dew-laden grass leaves, carefully carried them home, and poured them into Grandma's eyes.
Grandma said it was more comfortable than some eye drops. Once, when dew was not much in the morning, he and his sister managed to pick some grass leaves. Lanxiang was still young at that time. She accidentally tripped at the door of her house and scattered the dew on the grass leaves. She cried all morning in a hurry. Since my dear grandmother could not move, the whole family was very sad. The first bowl of every meal at home is always given to her first. Several of their grandchildren have an infinite attachment to their grandmother - who is not grandmother in bed?
Shaoping wrapped the quilt around Grandma and jumped down from the kang. He said to his mother and sister, who were already in a mess on the foot, what to do: "Sister, you should cook for us first." Mom, you pack some of our sorghum and black beans and make a bed for me. I'll send my brother-in-law to the farmer's cooking stove. You and your sister live in this kiln at night. If my brother doesn't come back, ask my father to live in his kiln. Lanxiang and I went to live at Jinbo's house. In case my brother comes back, ask him to spend the night in the team's feeding room..."
Shaoping calmly arranged some of the most urgent things for her mother and sister who had no idea. When he returned to the village, he heard that his brother had gone to Mijia Town to treat the cows in the team. Father hasn't come back yet - and he must be in a bad mood. It was getting dark and the house was still in chaos. The harsh reality required him to be the temporary head of the family at once. He has grown up and should take responsibility for his family. Think about it, at his age, whether at home or outside the door, my brother has already been burdened with big and small things.
Mother and sister immediately followed his instructions and went their own way. They badly need a leader now.
At the moment, Shaoping's mood is even in a state of high spirits. In the past, whenever the storm of life came, his young heart always trembled for it, and then forced himself to be beaten hard on the scalp. Time after time, his heart gradually became stronger and stronger, and he also tasted another taste of life in repeated hardships. He felt that he was stepping into the ranks of adults. He slowly learned that when a man is alive, he must be ready to suffer. He has read some books and knows that ordinary people and great people have to endure many hardships in their lives... Shaoping now took out the medicine he bought for Grandma from his broken yellow schoolbag on the lid of the box. He took the bottle and went to the Kang again. He woke up his old grandmother, who was unconscious. He lifted the bottle in front of her and said, "Grandma, look at the medicine I bought for you. It's for the eyes; it's a pain killer. When you feel pain everywhere, you take one.
The old man's red eyes suddenly lit up, his collapsed mouth squirmed, lifted a thin hand laboriously, stroked half of Shaoping's head, and only choked and said, "I'm flat... Growing up..."
Shaoping said, "If you raise your head, I'll give you a drop of eyedrops right now."
When Shaoping finished ordering the eyedrops for Grandma, he saw two teardrops slipping out of her eyes. He slipped silently down to the kang, and a warm and sour feeling came into his heart, which made him unable to resist tears. He said in his heart: Grandma, if I grow up and have a way, you are still alive, I will tell you to enjoy a few days of good fortune...
Suddenly, my father came in through the door. The whole family stopped working at once, looked at his face and wondered what was going on outside. Sun Yu, who had a thick face and didn't say a word, put the iron behind the door.
No one in the family dared to tell him what he looked like. Lanxiang went out to pick up a basket of firewood sometime, then quietly came in through the door, and quietly went to the fire pool to pour firewood.
Sun Yuhou stood on the foot, the pot was digging in the tobacco bag, without looking at others, and said, "Prepare some food at home, and make a bed to cover..."
"I've got all this ready for my mother. I'll send it to my brother-in-law in a minute." Shaoping said softly.
Sun Yuhou turned his head and looked at his son. His face relaxed. He was not distressed by his second-rate son-in-law - but he had to take care of such matters. No, he thanked his son from the bottom of his heart for seeing him alive and dead, and for taking care of things he didn't want to do. At that time, he seemed to find that his second son had grown up. Yeah, look at his stature. He's as tall as his brother. Well, it's just that the school is not good at eating and drinking, and it's hungry and thin. To tell the truth, Yuhou old man is always proud of his children in his heart. All the children are sensible and thriving.
This is the whole meaning of his life. That's all he's worth living for.
Now, the sky is numb. Shaoping fucking panicked at the pot counter and cried, "Oh, my God! Why did the dead man forget to feed the pigs! "
As soon as Sun Yuhou heard the fire, he was about to talk about his wife. He heard his daughter, Lan Xiang, say in the kitchen fire, "Mom, I have fed the pig..."
Everyone in the kiln looked at the thirteen-year-old child whom none of them had noticed. She was pouring firewood out of the basket. She did not know when she had picked up several baskets of firewood, enough to burn for a day or two. Lovely Lan Shang did everything she could do in silence.
Sun Yuhou and his wife looked at their youngest child with great emotion and could not say a word. Ordinarily, she is the smallest doll in the family and should be spoiled. But the child is so old that he has not pulled a decent dress for her. Now she is in junior high school on Shiwei Festival, and she is still wearing old clothes for two years.
Sun Yuhou came out of the kiln and stood in his yard, digging his dry cigarette bag. He stood tall and looked absently at the dark Miaoping Mountain across the Dongla River. The mountain is still as high as he was when he was young, neither one foot high nor one foot low. But he's old and incompetent...
