Story ‖ rotten lamp (I)

Catalogue of Novels (Mo Ruo Fu Hua Forgets Sichuan Leng)

Aunt Li Yue is very famous in our family's circle of relatives. I remember the name Li Yue first because of a sentence: "Pick and choose, pick a rotten lamp."

On that day in 28, my mother told me, "Your eldest son is married."

I replied, "Hey, are you finally willing to get married? Cousin Asheng has three children. "

Fang Gu is my little cousin. She has two sons. A Sheng, a child, got married early and had three children, but cousin A Cheng kept dating. After seven or eight years, the marriage still didn't come to an end. I was so worried that Fang Gu's hair turned white.

Mom sighed softly, "Pick and choose, and pick a rotten lamp."

I didn't catch it clearly at the moment, but my mother repeated it again, and then explained, "Your cousin, who has been dating for eight years, has taken a fancy to many girls, but in the end she chose this one, divorced and infertile."

I said, "How do you know that people are infertile?"

"Fang Gu said she was a girl from the same town, or a former junior high school classmate in A Cheng. It was because she had been married for seven or eight years and had not given birth that she was sent back to her family. One of Fang Gu's close colleagues told her quietly that the colleague was related to her aunt. "

I listen, thinking of the farce news about begging for children and grandchildren on the Internet, I can't help feeling sorry for this girl: "Are you still divorced after 78 years of marriage?"

Mom sighed: "Yes, there are no children. Don't wait for the childlessness without divorce?"

I was silent for a while before I asked, "Adoption or adoption is enough. Is it necessary to divorce?"

My mother stared at me for a long time, which made my heart tremble: "It's not like somebody else's son has no life, why should he help others raise children?" Besides, whose children are not precious now and are willing to give them to others? I think you are stupid to study? "

Mom is telling the truth, too. I have nothing to say. In the countryside, if you go to promote the two-person world and love dink, people will think you are crazy and scare my mother.

I said, "That girl is poor enough. Stop talking about bad lamps. I can't conceive, and people don't want to. "

Mom sighed and said, "I don't have time to talk about this. It was your aunt Fang who came back and said it. It had already spread. Your aunt Fang is angry, calling your cousin A Cheng stupid and picking out other people's rotten shoes to wear. "

I can predict what kind of hot water that girl is facing. Rural aunts have nothing to do, and they like gossiping and killing time after meals. I also like to help poor people enthusiastically. This month, Li Yue was divorced because she failed to have children. Besides gossiping, all rural aunts will also shed tears of sympathy for her, and even worry about her lonely years in the future. Even if she stays at home, many people will take the initiative to find a suitable partner for the rest of her life.

Two months later, it was reported that A Cheng's cousin stole the household registration book and pulled the card with the girl privately. Fang Gu was angry and went to the hospital, and she was dying. A number of relatives were also anxious, and they were busy preparing to take time to persuade them. But before they took action, they received a phone call from Fang Gu: A Cheng, the eldest son, is going to have a banquet when the time comes. If he doesn't come, he won't be a relative. If you don't come to my place, I won't go to yours.

Cousin A Cheng's marriage was very lively. Unfortunately, I had to take an exam at that time and didn't make it. Mom said it was 33 measurements, and this table was one of the best in the countryside.

I'm curious: "Didn't Fang Gu disagree? I went to the hospital because of the two of them. How did you agree? Still putting such a big mat? "

My mother hesitated for a moment and asked me, "Zhiru, do you have a physiology class in your school?"

I was a little puzzled by my mother's clumsiness, but I nodded my head.

"Did the book say anything about a dead sperm?" My mother looked at me. "Can dead sperm be cured?"

I'm shocked. I'm not a medical student. How should I know? Moreover, this dead sperm belongs to the category of medical class, right? Where can it be said in ordinary physiology class?

looking at my mother's eager eyes, I said, "wait, I'll find my mother."

I downloaded Baidu and read it to her according to the explanation given by the online doctor above. Those data terms made my mother look confused. I summed it up for her: "Check, actively cooperate with treatment, there is a cure, but I can't guarantee it."

mom is busy with her work again with a sigh. I also guessed the whole story and confirmed to my mother: "Become a cousin?"

mom gave a sigh.

bad karma Yuanyang. Four words popped up in my mind. The atmosphere was a little gloomy, so I changed the subject: "Does the woman set the wine?"

mom didn't good the spirit way: "the woman is married for the second time, is it glorious?" Also put wine. "

I'm a little angry: "Mom, you are a woman, too. How can you say that? Aren't those men still serving wine after their second marriage and third marriage? "

My mother thought I was childish and smiled: "It's just as disgraceful for a man to remarry. People will say it on the surface, but in secret. No one wants to eat a remarried banquet. Isn't your aunt's second son divorced and remarried? I will secretly pull a card. "

"secretly pull a card?" It's fair to get a marriage certificate, okay?

"If you didn't put wine on the table, you got a certificate, but you pulled a certificate secretly. Like before, when you didn't serve wine, people said that you were eloping and having sexual intercourse without any media, so it was just a secret. Second marriage, even if wine is served, people don't want to go. Second marriage will invite people to drink, and people will scold them. Originally, you became a cousin and married a woman who could not have children. It was not suitable for big things. People didn't say it on the surface, but they would say it in private. This room has no future, and it is unfilial and still looking for those superficial scenery. "

I was dumbfounded, and there was such a custom. I was curious and asked, "Why is Fang Gu still posing?"

"your aunt doesn't want to put it on, but if you become a cousin, you will put it on. If you become a cousin with money, let him do it if you want. In fact, I don't talk so much now. I used to talk about a lot of things, but now I am happy, and new things are done. "

"Cousin Cheng seems to love this sister-in-law very much. Will Fang Gu have a problem with that? "

"What's Fang Gu's opinion?" Mom raised her head doubtfully and looked at me.

"Won't Fang Gu be jealous when she becomes such a nervous cousin? My son, who has worked so hard to raise, is so heartfelt to other women and has repeatedly rebelled against his parents' wishes. I must be a little tasty in my heart. " Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are ancient but eternal topics.

Mom gave me a dirty look angrily: "What nonsense are you? A son and his wife have a good relationship. What can a mother do except be happy? Did the teacher teach you this? Did you learn this at school? "

ok, I won't talk about it. it's time for me to review my books and do my homework. Mom never likes to say these gossips, let alone children say these things.

The days are quietly walking forward. When you blink, another semester is over, winter vacation, Spring Festival and New Year are over. On the fourth day of Lunar New Year's Eve, our village opened its doors, killing chickens and worshipping ancestors, burning incense and setting off firecrackers. After the opening of the new year, there were not so many taboos, and everything went smoothly in all is forgiven. This day is more lively than New Year's Eve, and relatives will come to eat noodles to help celebrate, which is very popular and prosperous.

I saw Li Yue at a glance in the crowded seats.

She sat beside Cheng Cousin, who talked a lot, with her head slightly lowered and a decent smile, but her eyebrows were lightly locked. Compared with the lively crowd, she is too quiet with fine eyes. Moreover, I also noticed that Fang Gu has been talking and laughing with her pregnant daughter-in-law. From time to time, she shouted at her three grandchildren running around on the ground. From the moment she entered the door, she never had an exchange with her as a cousin, even her eyes.

Looking at that quiet and emaciated figure, I remembered that sentence which was spread to friends and relatives by her mother-in-law: Pick and choose, and pick a rotten lamp. Inexplicably, I feel a little unbearable.

I went over to say hello to her and sat opposite her. When I sat down, the people in the room stopped for a moment and lost their voices, glancing in our direction as if nothing had happened. Fang Gu glanced at both of us on the side of her face before continuing to talk to her daughter-in-law.

Li Yue was surprised by my arrival. When I saw you later, I always talked to her, but her eyes were a little red and she gave me a big grateful smile. This sister-in-law is also a sensitive and transparent person, knowing that I am trying to prevent her from being embarrassed and lonely among relatives. When I left that day, Cousin Cheng gave me a big red envelope.

that day, I was a little dazed with a rich red envelope. Mom saw it nearby and asked, "Pack your things, why are you staying?"

I asked, "Mom, does Fanggu dislike Sister-in-law Li Yue?"

Mom's eyes flashed and said, "Nonsense! You're the only one who has much to do. Work. "

In fact, even if I don't say it, I can see clearly from Li Yue's lonely situation today. Li month today is with her mother-in-law back to her mother-in-law's family, and Fang Gu's family naturally has to stand on Fang Gu's side. At the beginning, Fang Gu went to the hospital for this daughter-in-law, but she had to go through the door in a big way, so how could her face come down so easily?

While cleaning up, my mother suddenly sighed: "If it weren't for A Cheng, the story of A Cheng wouldn't have spread. After a man is unable to stay, who will respect you? "

I'm a little stunned: "It's only a matter of time before it gets out, right? How can I blame Sister-in-law Yue? "

Mom glared at me: "Who knows if you have money or not? If you don't say it yourself, who will find out about you? "

"So this isn't about Sister-in-law Li Yue?"

"girl, what do you care? Pack up and read your books and do your homework. " Mother threw a sentence and bowed her head to clean up the dishes.

I had to pack a red envelope and get busy. For a long time, I heard my mother sigh in a low voice: "Every family has a difficult experience. It is really not easy to be a woman."

My mother's voice was a little low, and my heart sank with it. Think of li month lonely and quiet figure, inexplicable depression.

The second time I met Li Yue was half a month later. My friend Li Yuan and I went back to school by train. At the station, I met Li Yue, who went out to work with her cousin Cheng.

I was sitting in a chair in the waiting room, sliding my mobile phone, when Li Yuan next to me called out, "Sister Yue, do you and your brother-in-law take a ride?"

A familiar voice said, "Yes. Are you going back to school with your classmates? "

I looked up and saw smiling Li Yue, followed by Cheng Cousin carrying a bag and a suitcase. I quickly stood up and cried with a smile, "Cousin, cousin."

they were all a little surprised to see me. Cousin Cheng smiled and said, "It's a girl who knows Confucianism. I just looked at the black hair on my forehead, but I didn't recognize it."

Li Yue glared at Cheng Cousin angrily and asked me, "Are you in the same school as A Yuan?"

"Yes, we are in the same school, in different classes, and in the adjacent dormitory."

"What a coincidence?" Li Yue smiled, her eyes were clear and colorful, her face was relaxed and cheerful, and her brow was not like the dark condensation on the opening day. I think now that both husband and wife are going out to live, they must be much more free and easy than at home, so they look different from before.

"Gee, I didn't know Zhiru and I were actually related." Li Yuan laughed.

"The Kxx train for F is coming to the station, please take the Mxx train."

"Our bus has arrived, and it's time to check the tickets. Take out the tickets." Cousin Cheng said, adjusted her backpack, took the suitcase in one hand, and took Li Yue's hand in the other, and said to us, "Let's go first. If you have time, contact us on WeChat."

Li Yue takes out two tickets from his cousin's coat pocket with his other empty hand. He also said to us, "You two take care of each other by car and take care of your things."

we all answered the call and watched the two of us walk away together. In the rush of people, Cheng Cousin changed to hold Li Yue in his chest, and the free hand kept raising horizontally, making an arc to guard her and isolate her from the collision of others. When I looked at Cheng Cousin's skillful appearance, my mind suddenly flashed the poem: I wish I could have one heart and one mind, and the white head will not be separated. At that time, my heart was envious of sister-in-law Li Yue.

Li Yuan is staring at the stars beside him: "Wow, my cousin's brother-in-law is such a gentleman." I nodded in agreement with the smell speech. Alas, this gentleman basked in a handful of dog food.

it will be our stop soon. We entered the station with the crowd, waited for a few seven or eight minutes, and then the bus came. We checked the ticket and got on the carriage. The passengers in our car are sparse. Several seats near our seats are empty. Just sit down before long, Li Yuan pour out to me about some old things of her cousin.

For the sake of their son, parents kept having children and gave birth to five daughters before giving birth to a son. There are too many children to afford, so send two to others to raise. Although Li Yue achieved excellent results, due to her poor family, she went out to work to subsidize her family just after finishing junior high school. To this end, the teacher also went to the door to persuade several times. However, the family is too poor, and parents think that no matter how many books a girl can read, it will be someone else's, so it is not worthwhile.

I met my ex-husband in the process of working, fell in love and got married. After two or three years of marriage, I was not pregnant. My mother-in-law often found fault with me and abused her. Fortunately, the husband is kind and considerate of his wife. In addition, the couple often work outside, and they don't go home until Chinese New Year or big holidays. It is only those days that they are nagged, and the days are still passable. Because I couldn't get pregnant, I went to have a check-up. It's Li Yue's reason. The uterus is stunted and it's not easy to get pregnant. Later, I took medicine to recuperate, but after two or three years of conditioning, I still couldn't get pregnant. My former in-laws asked for a divorce, but my ex-husband refused. Later, my former mother-in-law took pesticides and forced her son to divorce.

"Alas, Sister Yue has a bit of a hard time." Li Yuan hands holding gills lightly sighed.

"bitter is sweet. I think my cousin loves Sister-in-law Yue very much. Just look at the details of the wife care just now. "

"that's right." Li Yuandao, "fortunately met brother-in-law. When I first got divorced, those three aunts and six wives hated it, and that mouth kept hitting the bar all day. It's nothing to do with people's divorce, but it's nothing to do with children. My cousin's temper is the same, and she doesn't care about anything. If I were you, I would choke back one by one. You make me feel bad, and I will bite you. "

I echoed a few times, thinking of my cousin's various things before she got married and Fang Gu's attitude during the New Year, and I always felt a little guilty facing Sister-in-law Yue's family.

Li Yuan was silent for a while, but her eyes were red. She continued: "When my cousin divorced and went home, she had nowhere to go. My mean and unruly cousin, her sister-in-law actually blocked the door and wouldn't let her in."

"what?" I was surprised. At that time, I lost my temper and my voice was too loud, which attracted all the passengers around me to look over. I am busy and sorry. I smiled and said sorry. Everyone smiled back and then focused on their own business.

"how can this be?" I really can't imagine. Like ordinary people who go out to work in our rural areas, most of them save money to buy a house for their families, and few people buy a house outside, unless they have a successful career and make a fortune.

In rural areas, houses are reserved for sons, and neither daughters at home nor married daughters can come back to occupy houses. Even in my husband's family, the house is full of people.
