Dalan: A big sister like a mountain will always carry a heavy load.

More than forty years later, Dalan still can't forget that bloody afternoon. Lan's mother died and Wu Lan was born. A room full of blood, accompanied by Ulan's crying, Lanniang swallowed her last breath.

Lan's mother gave birth during childbirth, and the hospital was only five miles away from home. Lan's father Liang is afraid of spending money to stop her from going. Lan's mother died of massive bleeding during childbirth. Leaving five daughters, Dalan is only eleven years old.

After Wu Lan was born, several sisters took turns to hold and grow up. Laner has a grandmother, but she doesn't like Liang, a coward. No one was born with a handle, not even five girls. They never hugged any granddaughters, nor did they cook a meal or a dress for their children. Even Lu Yu, watching her granddaughters twittering and calling grandma, rolled her eyes and ignored her.

Liang learned that his wife was anxious to give birth to another girl. He didn't look at it, so he let his wife bleed out and didn't mention going to the hospital. He wandered around and didn't know who to drink with. When he came back drunk, he realized that his wife was dead. Four daughters cried around her, and several helped his old woman wipe her tears. The key to the big cupboard at home has always been tied to Liang's waistband. Several aunts wanted to find a new dress for Lan's mother when she was still soft after her death, but the big cupboard was locked and could not be opened. When Liang came back, she opened the big cupboard, but all she found was rags. I can't help it. My aunt picked out a few pieces with few holes and put them on her mother casually. Poor Lan's mother lived a hard life with Liang, never saw his good face, and even didn't have a decent dress until her death.

Liang didn't shed a tear. Years of poverty have numbed his feelings. Nothing can cause his mood swings except his enthusiasm for his son for more than ten years. He even thought that if he didn't want a son and wife as barren as the saline-alkali land that he occasionally saw in Luxi Plain, he would never go to plow.

In fact, they are all lies to themselves. Liang has no skill at all, so he can only find a job in the production team and is often scolded by the team leader. Sometimes he moves slowly and gets kicked, but he doesn't care about any discount (dialect: meaning torture and bullying). He can even give the captain a smile and let him kick again, and then tell others that the captain treats him differently. Although he is a coward outside, God has given him an excessive lust. All day, he was thinking about the next three roads to go. If we don't let him out, he will definitely be distracted that day. No matter who he meets, he wants to try. Even the widow of the village west accounting team wants to try.

Liang is sometimes whimsical. If he can have the position of captain, the big girls and little wives in the village can sleep whoever they want without letting themselves choose.

If you really want to be a captain, you must sleep with Liangzi's new wife, and you won't marry her until October of the first year. The 20-year-old wife is as tender as an onion, and she looks greedy. When Liangzi got married, he went to that house. Everyone else is an unmarried boy, so he is a big man in his thirties. According to seniority, Liangzi had to call him uncle, so he was not afraid of jokes and went to the window.

Sleeping with Ying Ying Niang again, with a thick chest and a thick waist. At the time of the autumnal equinox, he crowded behind Ying Ying Niang's body while there were many people, and made a few malicious arches. His hands were dishonest and he touched her round ass. Because people jostle each other, Ying Ying thought everyone was jostling with brooms and didn't notice that she was groping.

Thinking of this layer, he gave birth to some contempt for the captain above. He has been a captain for so many years that no woman outside his house has slept. Although he has three sons, he must have failed in that respect!

After Lan's mother died, it became a problem to breastfeed Ulan, so Dalan looked around for women who breastfed their children with her sister and begged others to feed Ulan some milk. Although Liang doesn't care about anything, he is very concerned about it. As long as he doesn't go to work or drink, go with him. Watching Ulan eat the milk of those women, his eyes lit up, staring at his full breasts, full of nonsense: "Daming Zi's house, what's the smell of that milk?" "Good daughter-in-law, Chunxiang, you have such a big chest. Give more milk. Don't be hungry. " You can't lie in their arms for Wu Lan when you talk. Over and over again, women are unhappy. Tell Dalan that if your father follows, he will never feed Ulan again. No way, Dalan was afraid that Ulan would starve to death, so she had to sneak out with Ulan while her father was not at home.

The villagers are well aware of his cowardly and obscene behavior, but they are helpless. At that time, the villagers had no concept of sexual harassment. As soon as he didn't steal chickens and dogs, he didn't kill people and set fires, and his eyes, mouth and hands were not good. Who will take care of him? The provocative woman dared to say cruel words when she was teased by him: "I am Liang Zhuer of Niang, and then I cut XX and fed it to the dog!" "

After the full moon in Ulan, Dalan heard that she could give her children some rice noodle soup, which was reassuring. Ulan is hungry.

I only ate 100% milk for a month, and I was as thin as a bean sprout. When I was five years old, I was as tall as a three-year-old child. Because Liang earned less work points and gave birth to more children, several girls were malnourished. Fortunately, in the first four hours, it is best to have a mother to take care of them. Ulan survived by several sisters who were still children, naturally more yellow and thinner, with sparse hair and brown.

Dalan is sixteen years old. She told the villagers that her father was a rogue. The development of her body confused her. Her clothes are so small that she has no money to cut cloth for a new one. She can only make do with it. Her sleeves and trouser legs are short, and she always wants to get rid of the bondage, but her chest and hips are tight. To her horror, Liang's oblique eyes were staring at herself.

After the death of his withered daughter-in-law, Liang's exuberant lust had nowhere to vent, and he couldn't bear loneliness, so he hooked up with Feng Huan, who was in his fifties in the neighboring village. Feng Huan's husband is a temporary worker in the town's state-owned textile factory. He is a cook. Because he is far from home, he only comes back once a month by riding a broken bike. Feng Huan is not a leisure advocate. Because of the face problem, the lean man in the village is not easy to start. I heard that Liang has extraordinary talent, and his wife is gone, so I set my sights on him. At a market, Feng Huan saw Liang wandering around, just looking, but not buying. He walked by while smashing melon seeds, stopped Liang and threw the peeled melon seeds on his chest. When Liang saw it, it turned out to be Feng Huan, who still has charm. The two have known each other for a long time, and their names have long been known. People with thoughts don't have to say much. Soon, a man and a woman with a difference of ten years appeared on the kang of Fenghuan's house in a wonderful manner.

When Feng Huan's man is at home, Liang can't see her, and his heart is always stirring. He has long been notorious. Any woman in the village ran away when she saw him, and no one wanted to talk to him more.

One day after the fall, Liang and the accountant of the brigade quarreled because of the problem of calculating the work score. He thinks that the accountant deliberately failed to record the main points of his work for several days.

The accountant said, "Go to Feng Huan's house tomorrow. Have you worked hard? " ? It's really cheap to remember less for a few days! "

Liang was annoyed: "Go to the girl if you have the ability!"

The accountant laughed at him contemptuously: "I am not capable, but I am still capable." Find a teenager ten years older, because this is a calf biting grass and not biting its teeth! "

Liang was furious: "I am a girl!" Oh, my God! "

The accountant picked up the dirt and threw it at him. He ran away.

Liang and a dirty wine bottle under their arms went to the agency for two drinks as usual. The pancreatic head (note: soap) for washing clothes at home is too small to hold. Darren went to his father who wanted to drink and asked for money to buy pancreas. Liang is impatient: "If not, don't wash clothes!" " Dalan knew that his fucking dad would build it on wine even if he had twenty cents in his pocket. In addition to giving children some coarse grains to survive, the other is saving.

Darren picked up the bottle and went to the agency to return the wine for the pancreas. When Liang saw Dalan's sincerity, he grabbed the bottle and pushed Dalan to the ground. Dalan's tight old clothes can't stand this push, and they are torn from armpit to hem.

Liang hasn't seen Feng Huan for several days, and he quarreled with the accountant again. It was because she was unhappy that when she saw Dalan's tattered clothes were thin and tender, evil thoughts immediately turned to her head, and she dragged her from the ground into the back room.

Liang is a heartless and inhuman person, and his father ruined his daughter.

Afterwards, Liang somewhat regretted it. He slapped himself hard and felt that he was a pig, a dog, an animal and no longer a man. After a few drinks, I felt dizzy and comfortable, and my regret slowly went down.

Dark clouds were gathering in the darkness and the rain was pouring down. It was already late autumn at that time, and such a heavy rain was really rare. Darran picked up his tattered clothes and rushed into the heavy rain without looking back. Shame, indignation, pain and injustice suddenly welled up in my mind. Since the death of Lan's mother, for more than five years, Lan has been in charge of everything at home and abroad. She thought she would bring up her sister and marry herself, so that she could leave this home and find happiness. But today, the sky is falling. Even on the day of her mother's death, she has never been so sad as today.

Mom! If Niang is still alive, how can she be so insulted?

Da Lan's tears, like broken beads, fall with the rain. She walked to the river outside the village and tried to end her defiled life in this sacred river that nurtured villagers on both sides of the strait. Yes, when she felt that her father was like a mountain, it was not only her body but also her life that was defiled! If she does not die, how will she face her sister and villagers?

But if she really dies like this, can her four sisters escape from the clutches of that damn father? Erlan is fourteen years old, followed by Sanlan, Lance and Ulan. ...

Ulan! Thinking of the youngest sister, Dalan closed her eyes painfully. Five orchids grew up in her arms. She couldn't imagine what would happen to five-year-old skinny five-orchid if she jumped and died. How is Lan living without her sister?

"Niang! Where are you? A child without a mother is like a grass, and there is no one to protect Dalan anymore! I don't have a mother or a father! ! "Big blue roared.

The river is right in front of us. The originally clear river became turbid under the impact of heavy rain. Dalan let the rain beat her body and looked blankly at the river. Yes, death is the simplest thing. As long as one step forward, the humiliation of dignity and the hardships in life can disappear, but she can't. She must endure life. As long as she can protect her sisters until they grow up safely and get married, it's not too late to die again.

Thinking of this, Dalan made up her mind, wiped her tears, swallowed her pain, and walked step by step to her crumbling home.

It turned out that Liang lived in the main house in the back room and several daughters lived in the outhouse. Now she and her sister have moved from the main house to the side house. Although it was dark and wet, it would be safer for them to be separated from her father.

The farm is divided into several plots, one acre for each person and seven acres for the Liang family.

At this time, Dalan hadn't spoken to Liang for more than half a year, so she made corn-flour steamed bread, threw it directly on the broken table in the first room, made corn-flour porridge, filled it in a broken bowl, and left it on the table with or without spilling it. She took her four sisters in the kitchen (note: kitchen), set up a table with the picked-up broken bricks, and five people gathered around to eat. The stinking beam was ignored.

When dividing the field, Dalan took the initiative to talk to Liang for the first time.

"I have five sisters. Each sister's acre is divided into two parts, one acre is divided into six acres, and the five sisters farm their own land. Then farm their own land!"

Liang jumped up when he heard this, patted his thigh and shouted, "Do you want to break up with me?" ! A daughter's house, such a big idea? Want to starve your dad? ! "

Darran got angry at once and shouted at the top of his voice, "Are you a father, too? You deserve to be a father? ! It was never my mother. How many of my sons are alive today? You also did that shameless thing! Why don't you die? ! "

Liang was also annoyed and said, "I gave birth to five, so I can do whatever I want, not to mention four. I can pull whichever I say!" "

Someone passed by the wall and heard the quarrel between father and daughter, so he knew something about Liang's behavior. After going out to embellish it, it didn't take long for everyone in the village to know that Liang was not a human being and ruined his daughter.

Darran resolutely divided the field and led four sisters to work in their six acres of land. She feels sorry for her sister, and always does more by herself and asks her sister to do less. Less than twenty years old, she became dark and thin in the wind, sun and hard farming, and lost the watery strength of a little girl. But she is willing, the field is her own, and if she works harder, she can collect more food and let her sisters eat. She also plans to plant wheat after autumn, sorghum after wheat, and set aside eight points or an acre of land to plant some cotton for her sisters to wear in winter.

If you can see hope, that day will come.

Liang is used to working in a group and has been cheating and playing tricks. Now Tian's responsibility lies with people, and he doesn't adapt. He can't grow his own plants on that acre of land. All day long, I was either mixing drinks or fooling around with Feng Huan, and I didn't have enough to eat.

No matter how much I hate Liang, I won't let him starve to death. She bears the stigma of unfilial. She cooked food regularly and sent it to the main room, but she left on the broken table.

The villagers teased Liang: "You are in your twenties, why don't you find your in-laws?"

Liang said to him, "Who cares if you want to find your husband's family?"

The villagers said, "Why don't you find a wife?"

Liang said, "I have five daughters. Do I need to find a wife? "

Liang's original intention was to have a daughter to solve the problem of food and clothing, not to find a wife, but it became the gossip theme under the big tree at the head of the village. Those crooked people say that Liang doesn't need a wife. These five girls, one night, two days off on Saturday and Sunday, are still making food and clothing. Who let him enjoy life?

When Liang learned of the situation, he didn't care. Anyway, life is just like this. Do you still care what outsiders say?

The five sisters also guessed that there was no good word from the villagers' strange eyes and whispers.

Life has been bitter for a long time. Now Dalan is twenty-two and Ulan is eleven. It's impossible to say that you don't care about outsiders' opinions at all, but Da Lan can't help it. All she can do is plug her ears, bury her head in farming and pin her hopes on this land.

I have never been to school from Dalan to Reims. Wuxiang is not young. Dalan is discussing with Erlan, hoping Wuxiang can go to school. Put ten eggs in the small basket and go to the headmaster of the village primary school. The headmaster is a native of the village, also surnamed Liang.

Principal Liang said: "Wuxiang is bigger than other children, so it's too late to start studying in grade one."

Darran said, "I just don't want to see it. My sisters are all blind, and I don't want her to go to technical secondary school in the future. (Note: Distributing graduation packages in middle schools is the best way for rural children to learn. ) At least one literate person can take me to the city and show me whether it is a man or a woman written on the toilet! "

Principal Liang collected ten eggs and put five apples in Dalan's small basket. This was bought by President Liang's wife in her collection, and she gave it to Dalan before trying it on for her children. Five orchids officially entered the school.

Although Wu Lan is thin and looks not much taller than a seven-or eight-year-old child, she is smart (dialect: smart). She even consulted the teacher after class and learned all the courses of Grade One in more than half a semester. Principal Liang saw that she was a piece of reading material, so she taught her the content of the second grade of last semester on the rest day, and she soon mastered it. At the beginning of the new semester, she advanced placement into the second-grade classroom.

Although Liang is not satisfied with letting Wu Lan study, he has no right to speak at home at this time and plays around all day. Feng Huan is almost sixty, and her husband's temporary worker has resigned. He has lost contact with Liang. He hooked up with a widow in the village. The widow saw that her daughter was capable of managing the land without losing the knack of farm work all the year round, so she encouraged him to ask her for food and money for herself. Liang did listen to the widow. He asks Dalan for it from time to time. Dalan refused, so he sat on the ground and said, "Well, Dalanzi, if you don't give me food, I'll go out and talk. You can sleep with your dad! " He knew exactly where Darren's weakness was. A big girl who has never been married was scolded by her father, and it is necessary to make it public, which is to tear her face. Darran gave in and gave food and money.

If Liang doesn't take care of that acre of land, the grass will grow taller than the seedlings. Seeing that he really stopped farming, Dalan took over the land and promised to give him some food and a cotton coat after collecting cotton. From then on, Liang, like a vampire, firmly stung Dalan.

Later, Wu Lan jumped two levels in a row. At the age of fifteen, she entered the junior high school in the town. At this time, she is only two years older than her classmates, and there is not much difference.

Darran is very happy. As long as Ulan's academic performance in junior high school is good, Dalan is willing to take an examination of her secondary school and let her fly out with wings.

At this time, Dalan 26 was an old maid in the countryside. Because of her father's bad reputation, the villagers' gossiping and the drag of the four sisters, no one wants to introduce Dalan to anyone. After the age of twenty-five, Dalan wants to raise her sister and marry herself to get married, which is only the first one.

With Dalan as the backbone, life at home is getting better and better. Sisters have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, and they can also pull a piece of cloth to make new clothes when gathering. What Dalan is most worried about is the marriage of several sisters. Over the years, Big Sister Dalan has been protecting her four sisters like a mother and a hen. She should not only settle down in life, but also be wary of the father of the beast. Under the protection of Dalan, several sisters grew up safely. Because of her bad reputation, Dalan was worried that no one would introduce her sisters, and they all became spinsters.

The cotton harvest is good. Dalan took Sanlan to the cotton mill in town to sell cotton, and told Erlan and Lance to put away the sticks and hammers in the yard. When it was getting dark, Liang went home to ask for cotton at the instigation of the widow. Dalan hasn't come home yet, so he asks Erlan for it.

Erlan said, "Why should the cotton planted by my sisters be given to the widow? ! "

Liang threatened: "If you don't give it, right? If you don't show it, you won't be beaten! "

Erlan said, "If you hit me, I won't give it to you!"

In a few words, Liang was anxious. He pulled the soles of Erlan's shoes away, and Erlan cried "ouch, ouch". Lance is still very young, only 18 years old, and is still moving forward. He was slapped twice by Liang and kicked a few more feet. Under the violence of their father, the two girls were unable to resist, and Erlan was knocked to the ground.

After Dalan sold cotton, she took Sanlan home on the train. She has always been distressed by her sister, pulling the car herself and letting her take the car.

When she turned into Hu, she heard Erlan Lance crying, and her blood rushed to her head. She threw down the train and ran home despite Sanlan's fall.

She remembered the scene when she was dragged into the back room by Liang when she was sixteen, pressing on the kang and tearing clothes crazily! Liang is like a devil. He ruined his mother and himself. Now he wants to destroy Herun and Lance again? !

When she ran into the gate, she felt a brick on the ground. Liang He tore at Erlan and rolled in fear. Dalan didn't have time to judge. He knew that this bastard dad was going to harm Erlan, picked up the brick in his hand and threw it at the back of Liang's head.

Beam body a soft, stumble and fall. Blood trickled out from the back of the head and quickly wetted a piece of soil.

On the day of her mother's death, there was a room full of blood, and Wu Lan cried in that pool of blood for the first time. On the day of injury, my legs and clothes were covered with blood. From then on, I had to bear the humiliation and live with my sister without any hope for myself!

Heaven and earth seemed to be silent. Da Lan squatted down and looked at Liang's blood, twisted on the ground like a dragonfly, and suddenly wondered: Is this red blood like a villain like him?

The public security organ investigated the case that Da Lan killed Liang. After the truth came out, the villagers' contempt for Dalan turned into respect. Under the organization of the captain, the villagers wrote a joint letter, which clearly stated what Liang had done. In the end, the court ruled that the case was excessive defense, and Dalan was sentenced to two and a half years in prison.

Darran actively reformed in prison and got a reduced sentence. On the day of her release from prison, all her four sisters came to meet her. In the absence of Dalan, Erlan became the pillar of the family, doing a few small and hard jobs for Ulan to be admitted to the secondary school.

Wu Lan handed her the bright red secondary school admission notice, and Dalan cried.

On that rainy day in Liang, Dalan sat by the river and wept bitterly. It is the idea of raising her sister that keeps her alive. From then on, she gritted her teeth and dragged her sister to live without shedding a tear. Today's tears are tears of happiness, tears to celebrate the beginning of a new life for Liang's sisters.

Today, Dalan is almost sixty years old and has never been married. Because of the serious psychological shadow, she can't get close to any men, so no matter who introduces her, she refuses. Erlan married a man whose ex-wife died because she was too old. Sanlan and Lance married young people of the same age in the nearby village and lived a happy life. After graduating from Wulan technical secondary school, she became a township cadre and is now a section chief.

Darren still lives in the old house. Around 2000, several sisters paid for the demolition of the old house and built five big tile houses on the original basis. Darren is their home.

My sister is here and my home is here.
