I often miss my second uncle, but I can't be kind to him. Less than three years after my father's death in February 1997, my second uncle drove west. However, because my brother and I were worried about my mother's health at the time, we did not go back to our hometown to see my second uncle on his last journey. The main reason is that the relationship between the mother and the second uncle is too deep, and once the mother knows that the second uncle has died, she will cry bitterly and become seriously ill once. At that time, my brother and I not only lived in the same building, but also in the same unit. After my father died, my younger brother had to visit my mother first when he came back from work at noon or at night. Moreover, the mother is a very sensitive person. Therefore, we can't go back to our hometown to see my second uncle on his last journey.
I remember that the year after my second uncle died, my fourth aunt in Xituhe came to Xinxiang to visit my mother in the company of my eldest cousin. My aunt questioned my mother, why didn't you go back when his second uncle died?My mother said that I didn't know that my second brother had died. Now it was a fryer, and my mother cried to death at that time. After my brother and I got off work at noon, my mother asked the two of us, why didn't you tell me when your second uncle died?Why didn't you two go back?
I told my brother that I was afraid that my mother would find it difficult to accept the reality that I knew that my second uncle had died and was seriously ill. Therefore, not only did we not tell her about the old man, but we also did not dare to leave Xinxiang, we were afraid of accidents. My aunt stayed for a few days, and when she saw that my mother was not in good health, she went back to her hometown. After my aunt left, my mother became ill for more than 40 days before she improved slightly.
Later, when my fourth aunt in Xituhe was sick, I said to my mother, let's go back to our hometown and have a look, and I will accompany you back. Moreover, I didn't dare to tell her that my aunt was sick. After returning to my hometown, I let my mother know that she had come back to visit my aunt. This did not make my mother angry. Moreover, I asked my mother to stay at home for a while to compensate my aunt for talking. However, not long after my mother returned to Xinxiang, my aunt passed away. My brother and I didn't dare to tell my mother, nor did we dare to go back to our hometown to see my aunt on her last ride.
Due to the successive events, my brother and I can only transfer the feelings of missing my second uncle to my second aunt. Every time my two brothers and I went back to our hometown, we had to visit my second aunt and my brother-in-law.
I remember that before 1988, I was taking two major university courses on my own, and I always felt that I didn't have enough time Xi to study. The second uncle came to Xinxiang to visit his parents during the Spring Festival, and I just ate with them, but I did not take the time to talk with the second uncle and my brother-in-law, and always closed the door after dinner to read and Xi, and took notes. After my second uncle left Xinxiang, my parents asked me why I didn't take the time to talk to my second uncleI said that the Xi course was too tight, and I had to read the book and return it to others. If you don't read literary masterpieces, you can't answer the homework assigned by the teacher.
Later, when my second uncle came to Xinxiang, I apologized to my second uncle. The second uncle said that he couldn't figure it out at the time, why did my nephew ignore me?He went back and thought about it for a long time and figured it out. It shows that it is not easy for you young people to wander outside, and working in the city is no better than in the countryside, and you can do it with or without education. The second uncle specially instructed me to study hard, learn to be famous, and do a good job. The second uncle's words are not much, but they are reasonable. It means that I should be an upright person and do things seriously. Therefore, I repeatedly promised my second uncle that he would study hard and work hard.
It was precisely because of my second uncle's encouragement that I worked harder to study Xi and did not dare to relax in the slightest. After 1984, I published a number of articles in newspapers. When my second uncle came to Xinxiang, I went to work and left, and my father took out the article I published in the newspaper and read it to my second uncle. Moreover, my brother-in-law also took the newspaper and read two articles I wrote. The second uncle praised me for being successful and asked me to continue to work hard.
After the second uncle and the younger uncle left, my mother said that the second uncle praised me and asked me to continue to work hard. The second uncle was not educated, but he knew the importance of culture for young people. Moreover, my second uncle participated in the stretcher team for rescuing the wounded in the Linfen Liberation Campaign in Shanxi, and he was a Communist Party member who bravely shouldered heavy burdens. My second uncle, Du Xiangheng, was a veteran party member who joined the party during the Liberation War, and he was conscientious and responsible for the work of the production team and the song direction in the village, and played an exemplary and leading role as a Communist Party member. My second uncle is a model of maintaining family unity and valuing family affection.
It's been more than 20 years since my second uncle passed away, and I miss him as an old man. Moreover, he is often dreamed of in dreams. His amiable voice and smile will always be remembered by me. Especially when my mother was seriously ill in her hometown, it was my second uncle who helped his little sister to his own home, so that my second aunt could take care of her and restore her health.
