Maupassant said that life can't be as good as you think, but it won't be as bad as you think, people are fragile and strong beyond their imagination, sometimes, so fragile that a word will bring tears to their faces, and sometimes, they will find themselves gritting their teeth and walking a long way.
Romain Rolland said that there is only one kind of heroism in the world, and that is to love life after seeing the truth of life.
The author will start with these two paragraphs.
Family Environment.
Mingyue was born in an extremely ordinary typical rural family, even said poor. His parents were authentic farmers, and his father was very studious and had good grades, but because of the times, he did not have the opportunity to continue his studies and barely finished elementary school. My mother did not go to school, partly because the family was poor and had no money to study, but more importantly because her parents favored sons over daughters.
Mingyue's grandmother was sick all year round and died when Mingyue was just able to remember. Grandpa is physically strong and helps to do some farm work within his ability. Unfortunately, after a fall, his leg was broken. The old age and slow bone growth, coupled with the grandfather's unstable temper, often secretly untied the bandages, and finally couldn't stand, or sit or lie down for more than ten years, taking care of the grandfather's daily life fell on Mingyue's mother. In addition to working in the fields, my mother took good care of my grandfather, and there was no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, this sentence does not exist in this family.
Mingyue has a younger brother who is two years younger than her, and when her parents are busy with farm work, Mingyue will take care of her younger brother, although her life is not rich, but the family is very happy. At that time, there were still some patriarchal people in the countryside, and they always felt that girls were going to marry and were from other people's families. For example, there are good food for boys, many girls go out to work after junior high school, some junior high school has not finished, at that time it was more popular to go to Dongguan electronics factory, most of the peers in the village went out to work. Compared with them, Mingyue is lucky, although because her parents are busy with farm work, Mingyue needs to take care of her younger brother, so she postponed going to school for two years and studied in the Yuhong class (preschool) with her younger brother.
Mingyue's luck lies in the fact that her parents not only do not have the idea of preferring sons over daughters, but also especially support their children's reading. Parents said that they had suffered from being uneducated, and that they could no longer let their children suffer such hardships. My father likes to read, and his grades are good, but because of the times, he has no chance to study, and he is miserable, because his father is a person with ideals and pursuits. Her mother suffered a lot because she didn't read and couldn't read, and she said that she had to observe the toilet for a while when she went to the market, and when a woman entered, she followed in, because she didn't even know the words male and female. Later, I saw that there were more of these two words, and she also knew it, although she couldn't write it yet. Later, after Mingyue and her younger brother went to school, she carefully pasted the award certificate on the wall every time, and after looking at it for a long time, she also knew the names of Mingyue and her younger brother, although she couldn't write it, but she knew that it was the name of Mingyue and her younger brother. Later, she also described a few words, crooked, but like a knife engraved in Mingyue's heart, she will never forget it for the rest of her life, and this will be explained in detail later.
Parents support Mingyue and her younger brother to study, not only for the above reasons, but also because they want their children to have a good life, get out of this yellow earth, no longer work as hard as they do, face the loess with their backs to the sky, and dig in the soil all their lives. The parents' desire is simple, but they pay too much for it. In such a poor family, parents have such thoughts, which is not only selfless, but also courage and tenacity.
Before officially going to school, my parents had to take Mingyue and her younger brother with them every time they went to work in the fields. At first, her parents worked in the fields, Mingyue and her younger brother played in the fields, and then when they were a little older, they began to work in the fields. Yes, you heard it right, it was working in the fields, two very young children. The other children were playing, Mingyue and her younger brother were working with their parents, and there were two things that I remembered the most and the most painful. One is to cut wheat, the sun is scorching, the sun is scorching, the sun hurts, and the parents are waving the sickle to race against time to harvest, Mingyue and her younger brother don't have to work so hard. Because they were too small, they couldn't use the sickle well, and there were many scars on their hands, which can still be seen today. Whether it's a scythe cutting your hand, or a blistering sun, you can't go home. Although Mingyue and her younger brother couldn't cut a few handfuls of wheat in a day, they had to wait for their parents to finish their work and go home with them. Another thing is to fertilize the corn, it is also a hot summer, the corn is as high as the bright moon, burrow into the corn field, dig a pit near the roots of the corn, throw the fertilizer into it, and then cover it with soil, doesn't it sound simple?But the taste was too unpleasant, not to mention that the corn field was hot and impermeable, and the most painful thing was that the corn leaves cut a series of cuts on the body, and the sweat seeped into the wounds, and the pain was piercing. Look at other children, some play at home or in the shade of trees, some go to the river to catch fish and shrimp, and if there are good conditions, they can even eat old popsicles. And Mingyue and her younger brother work like little adults, Mingyue is very angry, and her younger brother is also crying, they don't understand why their parents don't love them. Other people in the village also said that parents, how can you give up your child when it is so young.
No matter how Mingyue and her younger brother cried and resented, no matter how the people in the village said that their parents were ruthless, they did not change their parents' decision, and Mingyue and her younger brother still had to face such painful labor.
This painful experience lasted until Mingyue and her younger brother went to school, and their parents told them why they were so ruthless.
This is Mingyue's family environment when she was a child, and I will tell you about the road to study. Please pay attention, encouragement, and guidance.
