Three.
Aunt Rufen became a child of the Xin family as soon as she was born, is her adoptive father and adoptive mother good to her?Or at least before the birth of your own biological daughter, you should be nice to her. Her adoptive father was an intellectual, and the influence of that family on her could be seen in Aunt Rufen's speech and demeanor. She said that she liked to draw since she was a child, but she had no formal training, did her adoptive father train her? The paintings on the walls of her blue house, the birds flying in the blue sky, like children's paintings, are all full of joy. Her adoptive father is from Wuxi, and it is possible that when she was very young, her adoptive father was transferred to Shanghai, and the family moved to Shanghai.
If Aunt Rufen's childhood was good, she would have had to go when she became an educated youth later. At the age of 17, she was on the train from Shanghai to Yunnan on the train from Shanghai to Yunnan, and like most educated youth, she was excited and excited at first. When she arrived at Baiyaba, a remote village with no roads and no electricity, heavy manual labor, gray blue sky repeating day by day, and no future in sight, she missed the city and homesick, perhaps she didn't know that she was adopted at that time. She used it as a painting to relieve her boredom, and those simple compositions were beautiful colors, but where did she get the paint, and what did she use to paint?
There was a male intellectual, who liked her silently, and quietly bought her paint from the city and secretly gave it to her. A woman like Aunt Rufen will be noticeable wherever she goes, and she is arrogant and stubborn, and she will not be easily approached. However, this male intellectuals captured her heart in this way. They secretly dated in the moonlight, saying things that only they could understand, and they fell in love, got married, and had children. They thought they would never return to the city, and they thought they would live in Baiyaba for the rest of their lives. The simple house is full of her paintings, and they live a simple but happy life. thought that life would go on day by day, but they saw that some unmarried educated youths had returned to the city one after another, and the male intellectuals were moved. Discussed with Aunt Rufen about a fake divorce, he went back to the city first, and then found a way to take her and the child back.
Aunt Rufen agreed. After all, who is willing to stay in the middle of nowhere for the rest of her life, she believes in her lover, and believes that he will come to pick her and the child up when he settles down. However, the male intellectuals betrayed her after returning to the city, and the fake divorce became a real divorce. The arrogant Aunt Rufen knew that crying couldn't solve the problem, but how could she watch the home she had built fall apart like this, and there were still children!She's going to ask for clarification!
Aunt Rufen went to Shanghai to look for him, and of course her husband could be in another city, but I think it's more likely to be in Shanghai. She entrusted her children to her fellow countrymen. Aunt Rufen dressed in her best clothes and took her simple luggage on her way. She hitchhiked, section after road, there were well-wishers who picked her up, of course, there were also people who wanted to take advantage of her, stumbled all the way, and finally rushed to Kunming Railway Station, bought a station ticket, three days and two nights, occasionally cheeky and others crowded to sit, more often it was a station, and finally arrived in Shanghai. Walking on the street, the vehicles coming and going, and the pedestrians coming and going, made her feel that this place where she once lived was so strange. Aunt Rufen saw her exhausted self in front of the shop window, two long braids hanging on a dark green cotton jacket with white polka dots, black trousers, black cloth shoes, and a military satchel. She brushed her somewhat messy hair, feeling that her 22-year-old self was already old, and no matter how she looked at it, she was out of tune with the city.
She did not dare to go back to her adoptive parents' house, and they strongly objected to her marriage in Baiyaba, and her adoptive mother said that if she got married in the countryside, she would not return to their home in the future. At that time, she knew that she was not their biological child, and secretly vowed not to set foot in that house again.
She shuttled around the city and almost hit a car;She was so tired that she didn't let herself shed a single tear, and finally found her husband who lived in the old alley, and when she saw him with another woman, she felt like a third person. The husband was surprised and annoyed when he saw her, and the first thing he asked her was, "Why are you here?"”
She blushed, walked over and slapped her husband, turned and walked out the door, paused for a moment, then turned back, slapped her frightened husband twice, and walked out of the alley without looking back. She didn't shed tears in front of him, and after getting on the train back to Yunnan, her tears never dried again. She clearly felt that the city had abandoned her and that she would never return.
The educated youths returned to the city one by one, and Aunt Rufen stayed hopelessly in Baiyaba with her children. She became an authentic peasant, but her face was still white. She uses paintbrushes and paints to vent her sorrow, but it presents bright colors. She painted her house blue, painted trains on both sides of the windows, and painted on the walls of the house. Those ** patterns, bright colors, or let her go back to her childhood, let her go into a place where no one intersects, only her own happy time.
As the days passed, Aunt Rufen was old, and she could no longer do the work in the fields, so she opened a small shop to make ends meet. She never stepped out of the Baiya Dam again, except for the train she painted on the wall that took her to a distant land.
What about Aunt Rufen's child?How could she live alone?Something happened to her child?Or did he go to Shanghai to find his father and leave her behind?
We visited the Dai village and heard the voice of "senior brother" again, "The locals love and hate the educated youth. Love them for bringing prosperity and civilization to Xishuangbanna, and hate them for not being responsible and leaving the children with heavy debts. He said that he went to the wedding of the last educated youth child in Xishuangbanna, and the girl told her life story, and all the guests shed tears. She went to Shanghai to look for relatives, and her parents had a younger brother, so she had to return to Xishuangbanna.
I dare not think about it any longer, in either case, Aunt Rufen's story is a tragedy.
The sun finally came out, and the coconut trees in the sun glowed with green and faint light, and the rain on the leaves had not yet dried, like tears, as if to remind us not to forget, but it would soon dry up. Aunt Rufen's figure is getting smaller and smaller, and it will soon disappear from my vision.
