Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
The countryside is a paradise in the eyes of the rich, a barrenness in the eyes of the poor, a distant place in the eyes of poets, and a place that wanderers dream of returning.
This place is the envy of many people, but it drives a person crazy.
It's still that old lady, let's call her Sister-in-law Li for the time being.
That was more than 30 years ago, and the youngest child in Sister-in-law Li's family was only seven or eight years old.
Because she and her husband lived in a thatched hut when they first got married, and now they have three children, a total of five people, and they can't live in one house.
Like all the people in the village, after harvesting the wheat with a sickle, they stored the straw and used it to burn bricks.
They got up early and worked hard at night, pouring the soil from the ground into mud bricks with molds they had made.
Sister-in-law Li and her husband have been busy since the early spring and have been busy until the autumn, and finally saved a batch of brick embryos.
On this day, sister-in-law Li said to her husband: "We have been busy for more than half a year, and we have finally saved up a batch of brick embryos, let's make so much first, because we only have so much wheat straw, let's continue to do it next spring." ”
Then, she took her three children to her parents' house, and Sister-in-law Li stayed at her parents' house for three days.
After returning on the third day, her husband said to Sister-in-law Li, "I lent our batch of bricks. ”
At that time, Sister-in-law Li was furious, and he said how can you borrow him?We've been busy for more than half a year and we've got so many things.
Her husband said: "The sixth child promised that they would return our bricks when the spring was opened." They are burning bricks now, they are in a hurry to build a house, because their houses are uninhabitable, and there is a shortage of our batch of bricks, and I grew up with him since childhood, and our relationship is good, and you can see it. We can't burn this batch of bricks because there is not enough brick kiln. ”
She listened to her husband say this, and then she was counted.
After the sixth child burned the kiln bricks, they demolished the broken house and built a new house before the cold winter came.
At the beginning of the spring of the second year, the sixth child was hospitalized, and I heard that the illness was quite serious, and he died within a few days of returning.
For the sophistication of people, many people will not choose to ask for debts at this time, and Sister-in-law Li and them are the same, choosing to be silent.
However, it was from this time that the real disaster began to befall Sister-in-law Li.
After the old **, the sixth wife's wife actually remarried with her children.
The sixth man's house belonged to his nephew, and at this time all the people did not admit it, and the sixth child also borrowed a batch of bricks from Sister-in-law Li's house.
When Sister-in-law Li heard this, she was stunned. The fruits of more than half a year's labor are given away, and their own home is not as good as a kennel. At that time, she was dead, and two days later, Sister-in-law Li went crazy.
Sister-in-law Li's husband went to the door to look for the sixth nephew several times, but his nephew did not admit it at all, and the three houses he inherited from the sixth child had a batch of bricks from Sister-in-law Li's house.
In fact, everyone with a discerning eye knows how many brick embryos there are in Lao Liu's family and how many brick embryos Sister-in-law Li's family makes, everyone in the village knows it, but no one comes out to say a word.
And Sister-in-law Li's husband didn't think of a better way, so he could only consider himself unlucky.
Sister-in-law Li went crazy, the children had no one to cook, and once she was so hungry that she was poisoned while eating wild fruits.
Later, Sister-in-law Li's spirit returned to normal after being persuaded by someone, but since then, she has become very different from before, extremely selfish and cowardly.
When something unpleasant happened, she didn't dare to come forward, but she was extremely resentful in her heart.
One of her favorite phrases is, "My greatest wish in life is to leave this place where I have lived for most of my life." ”
People will have relationships with many people in their lives, but the ones who really affect you are the few people around you. As long as you grasp these few things that happen around you, you may be able to control your own destiny.
Sister-in-law Li did not control her own destiny, and her life was a mess.
