On the evening after the uncle's funeral, the two cousins decided to let the aunt return to their home.
After listening to my cousin's decision, our family was angry, I almost quarreled with my cousin, my aunt took care of my uncle for 20 years, and as soon as my uncle left, my aunt was kicked out of the house.
Seeing my aunt's back, I made two decisions in my heart.
Uncle is an unfortunate man.
When he was 45 years old, he drove a walk-behind tractor to pull bricks, and in an accident, the car overturned into a ditch, and his former wife went on the spot.
The uncle's leg was crushed under the bricks, and when the people were rescued and sent to the hospital, the calf nerve was necrotic.
At that time, medical conditions were not developed, and in order to save his life, he had to amputate his leg.
After the uncle came back from the hospital, there were two and a half sons in the family, and the father and son could only stare at each other with big eyes.
Uncle can only rely on crutches for daily walking, let alone cooking and housework. The two and a half children can't cook, and the uncle is on crutches around the stove, and he can only hang noodles.
At that time, when the village was only busy with farming, every family ate machine-pressed noodles, which was convenient, simple and time-saving.
But it is a daily routine for the uncle's family to eat somen noodles, and they cook noodles in clear water every day, and they have vegetable leaves in the upper two yards.
During the New Year's holidays, our family stewed meat or made a dumpling, and we would bring some to the uncle's family.
In the second year of my uncle's injury, my mother brought a woman who was very thin, with high cheekbones and a thin mouth, but her eyes were always smiling.
Later, I learned that this person was Aunt Hu, the object of introduction to the uncle.
Because of his disability, the uncle has two sons at home, so it is difficult to say who he is. I heard my mother say that Aunt Hu couldn't have children, and she was divorced after two marriages.
It didn't take long for the uncle to marry Aunt Hu, and after they got married, the people in the village said that it was because the uncle was injured that there was compensation, otherwise who would want to marry a disabled person, not to mention that Aunt Hu was several years younger than the uncle.
In the second year after Aunt Hu arrived at the uncle's house, the uncle suddenly stood up and walked like a normal person.
It turned out that the uncle was fitted with a prosthetic, and when Aunt Hu didn't come, the uncle thought about raising two sons, and was reluctant to spend money on prosthetics. After Aunt Hu came, Aunt Hu persuaded the uncle to put on a prosthetic leg and the two of them could make money together, which was a good thing, don't worry about money.
Uncle was entangled. Aunt Hu persuaded that she knew how to tailor, and after the uncle stood up, the two of them could open a tailor's shop, so that the problem of eating could be solved.
Uncle went to get a prosthetic, and that autumn, Aunt Hu opened a tailor shop in the town, but it was open-air, and she bought a sewing machine, and put up a sign next to it, which said Tailor.
At the beginning, they all sewed a trouser hem for others and changed a trouser, all of which were small jobs, regardless of Aunt Hu's good craftsmanship, the work was more meticulous than others, the stitches were smoother than others, and the work was sharper than others. After a long time, I had my own customer base, and gradually I began to receive the job of making ready-to-wear clothes.
The uncle followed Aunt Hu and also learned to remove stitches and measure sizes. After becoming famous, Aunt Hu rented a small shop of 10 square meters in the town, cooking inside and serving as a tailor shop outside.
That year I was in middle school, in town. My parents work in the factory 20 miles away, and every night after school, I remove the threshold by myself, climb in, and then take out the key to open the door.
One day, Aunt Hu came to my house to borrow something, and when she saw me at home alone, she knew that my parents had come home at ** o'clock.
She called me to her house for dinner, I was embarrassed, and Aunt Hu pulled me away. In the evening, when my parents came back, Aunt Hu sent me back.
As soon as I went back, I said to my parents: Brother and sister, you two get off work very late, and in the future, Xiaomei will let her go to my store for dinner after school, and come back with us when it is over.
My mother smiled and said, "That's not possible, she's so old, she can come back by herself, it's okay."
Aunt Hu took my mother's hand and said: We are two concubines and neighbors, you are still my matchmaker, let the child have a meal at my house, it is a convenient thing, how much can a baby eat, you are welcome.
My mother excused herself but agreed, but I couldn't eat for nothing, my mother gave Aunt Hu money at the beginning, but Aunt Hu didn't want it. Later, I sent some rice and noodles every month.
Sometimes the factory sent oil or sugar, and some labor insurance, and my mother sent it to Aunt Hu.
In this way, I ate in Uncle and Aunt Hu's shop for three years.
The second cousin of the uncle's family, one level higher than me, we came home from school together, and every time I ate, if Aunt Hu stewed meat, she would serve it to me first, saying that I was a girl and not hungry.
In those days, snacks were very scarce, and sometimes Aunt Hu bought chicken cakes or maltose, and she would keep a copy for me. Aunt Hu is really good to me, and I sometimes say to my parents that I feel like Aunt Hu is like my own aunt.
My mother smiled and said: People's hearts change people's hearts, your Aunt Hu has no children, and she is good to the children around her.
My mother is right, Aunt Hu is not only good to me, but also to my two cousins.
Brother Lobby didn't get admitted to high school after graduating from junior high school, and he had nothing to do at home all day.
She wants her cousin to learn technology, but she is afraid of being deceived. After discussing with my uncle, I brought a few cakes and a few eggs, and took the train for a day and a night to find the school.
After seeing the school, I took the lobby brother to report. On the day Aunt Hu sent her cousin back, she also brought some souvenirs to our family.
My mother said to me: Your Aunt Hu is so powerful, she has never been far away in her life, and in order to show your cousin school, she actually took a car to a strange city hundreds of kilometers away.
I heard that Aunt Hu got out of the car and reversed the bus four or five times before she arrived at school, I also thought she was amazing at that time, and I was not afraid, and I didn't know that Aunt Hu was really good to my cousin, because my mother said that she might not dare to go alone.
During the high school entrance examination, I was admitted to the provincial key high school in the county, but my cousin was not admitted to the high school. Aunt Hu was so angry that she scolded her cousin at home: You eat the same meal as your sister, why didn't you get into an ordinary high school.
My cousin didn't get into high school, and my uncle said that if I went to learn a skill, I would be able to get a job after graduation.
Aunt Hu refused, my cousin was 20 points behind, Aunt Hu heard that someone could find someone, and she came to my parents with gifts that day.
My second uncle is a high school teacher, Aunt Hu means, I want to find my uncle to see if I can let my cousin go to high school.
At that time, it was possible to spend money on high school, but for a rural family, the borrowing fee of a few thousand yuan may be more than the cost of three years of high school, and a farmer's income is more than a year.
My father went to call my second uncle, and my mother pulled Aunt Hu and whispered: It's good that the child doesn't study high school and learns a technique, you are a stepmother, as long as the eldest brother agrees. Why bother with so much money, how hard it is for both children to go to school.
Aunt Hu smiled and said: It's okay, I don't have children in my life, just treat them as my own children, I haven't read anything, I hope they can have a career, and I am willing to let them go to school no matter how hard it is.
Later, my cousin went to a remote high school, and it is said that he spent 5,000 yuan in borrowing fees. At that time, the tuition fee for high school was only 300 yuan per semester.
Once again, I felt that Aunt Hu was too good to the two cousins, because we have a pair of sisters and brothers on the street, and since my father married my stepmother, I have never seen those sisters and brothers again.
Later, after graduating from the Lobby Brother Technical School, he stayed in the field, worked for a few years, and returned to work on the construction site in the city.
The second cousin was not admitted to college, but was admitted to a junior college.
Both cousins graduated, and Aunt Hu's tailor shop was open in the town for more than ten years in a blink of an eye. Just when we thought Aunt Hu should be happy, Uncle suddenly fell ill.
Uncle had a cerebral hemorrhage, when Aunt Hu was making clothes, she called him to get the thread, Uncle went for a long time and didn't come back, Aunt Hu shouted several times and no one answered, and when she found someone lying on the ground.
Since then, the uncle has been half-paralyzed. Aunt Hu's shop can't be opened, because the uncle can't do without people.
Fortunately, the two cousins began to earn money, and the two discussed, one person gave 500 yuan a month, and gave Aunt Hu 1,000 yuan a month, so that Aunt Hu could take care of the uncle.
Every day, Aunt Hu pushed the uncle to the yard and sat in the yard to bask in the sun, and the neighbors soon gathered around Aunt Hu, and everyone seemed to be chatting, but in fact, they were gossiping and testing Aunt Hu.
Some people say: You are just too stupid, it is not enough to raise two children, you still have to serve this paralyzed man, you just leave, and no one will say to look for you.
Some people also said: You let your two sons hire nannies, if they are their own mothers, do you see that they are willing to work so hard.
Some people also said: You are just too kind, think of a way out for yourself, don't let the old man leave when the time comes, and the two sons will not recognize you.
Aunt Hu doesn't argue with anyone either, and says with a smile every time: People's hearts change people's hearts, and after living for more than ten years, I am reluctant to leave the person next to me.
Besides, I am worthy of this family and those two childrenThe lamb kneels to suckle, and the crow feeds back, I don't believe that people can have a conscience as animals.
The uncle's cerebral hemorrhage was committed again, and after the second time, he was completely lying on the bed, eating, drinking, and Lazar all had to be helped by Aunt Hu.
Every time I go back, I have to go to see my uncle and Aunt Hu, buy something and sit for a while. Although the uncle was paralyzed, his body was very clean, and there was only the smell of disinfectant water in the room, and there was no other strange smell.
I smiled and said to Aunt Hu: Auntie, you're about to catch up, it's too professional.
Aunt Hu said to me proudly: I went to learn massage and nursing knowledge, I can't get out, if I apply for a nursing home nurse, I will definitely be the first.
I looked at Aunt Hu's face, it was a smile, and there was no trace of complaint.
I feel that the uncle is really blessed to meet such a good wife as Aunt Hu.
The following year, there was a new policy in the village that allowed the village to make up the pension insurance. After discussing with my brother, neither of my parents had pension insurance, and one of us paid 30,000 yuan to buy pension insurance for my parents.
I thought of Aunt Hu, she has no children of her own, the uncle is paralyzed in bed, and the two cousins can buy pension insurance for Aunt Hu for 15,000 each, which is also a guarantee for Aunt Hu.
At that time, the uncle had been paralyzed for 5 years, and I sent a message to the lobby brother, and he said that he was financially tight. I sent a message to my second cousin, and he said that he had a second child.
The two cousins were silent, so I could only tell my mother, hoping that my mother would go to Aunt Hu and say that it was best for her to buy an endowment insurance for herself.
My mother went to Aunt Hu and euphemistically asked her to think about herself, don't just think about others, after all, the uncle is gone, and Aunt Hu will have no children in the future, and providing for the elderly is also a problem.
Aunt Hu seemed thoughtful, but she never said anything. The mother knocked on the side and said to Aunt Hu: Otherwise, you can ask the two nephews and ask them to give you even half of the fee.
We don't know if Aunt Hu asked my cousin, but in the last month of the deadline, I saw that there was no Aunt Hu on the list, and I was a little anxious.
I went to Aunt Hu's house and said to Aunt Hu: Auntie, my mother said that you don't have enough money to pay pension insurance, and you have a lot of money.
I said this on purpose, but I actually wanted Aunt Hu to hand it over to me. Aunt Hu asked: How much is it in total? I asked rhetorically: How rich are you?
Aunt Hu looked at me and said: There is only 20,000 yuan at home, and there is no more.
I had to say: 20,000 yuan is enough, if I still need to cushion it for you first, it won't be much.
Aunt Hu gave me 20,000 yuan, and I paid the remaining 10,000 yuan myself. Because I was in high school that year, the tuition fee for my tutoring year was 3,000 yuan, and my family had no money, so my parents went around in circles, and finally Aunt Hu lent us the money.
I just thought that this money was my return to Aunt Hu, and I had dinner at Aunt Hu's house and borrowed money from Aunt Hu, and Aunt Hu helped me a lot.
After the uncle was paralyzed, the two cousins rarely came back, and occasionally came back and just sat on the edge of the bed and talked to the uncle.
Taking care of the uncle all depends on Aunt Hu. But the pension insurance of 30,000 yuan, the two cousins actually refused, I felt very uncomfortable, and I felt very uncomfortable.
When the uncle was 62 years old, he finally passed away, and the two cousins came back, and everyone said that Aunt Hu was finally relaxed now. But everyone whispered that Aunt Hu had no children of her own in her life, and her uncle died, and she didn't know if she could stay.
That day, after the uncle's funeral, the two cousins called my father and two aunts together and asked Aunt Hu what they planned to do in the future in front of everyone.
Aunt Hu kept her tears and didn't say a word, and the lobby brother said that since the uncle had gone, Aunt Hu would go back to her house. The second cousin said: The village has to register the ownership of the house, and if Aunt Hu has no place to go, they can rent a yard for Aunt Hu.
After listening to the words of the two cousins, Hu sat on the side and wiped his tears silently, I stood up and shouted angrily to my cousin: Aunt has taken care of you for more than ten years, and now that the uncle is gone, aren't you unloading the mill and killing the donkey?
My cousin glared at me angrily and said, "You are a married daughter, what qualifications do you have to speak here?"
The father couldn't look past it, and said to his nephew: Your stepmother has taken care of your father for more than ten years, you should give her a pension and send her to the end of her life, and you must have a conscience.
The cousin didn't say a word, and Aunt Hu suddenly stood up and said: You all don't quarrel, I know what to do.
The next day, my mother went to my uncle's house and knocked on the door to find Aunt Hu, and my cousin opened the door, and as soon as the door opened, she said that Aunt Hu had left overnight.
When my mother heard this, she cried and told me to hurry to find Aunt Hu as soon as she got home.
I was also stunned, but let's go to ** to find Aunt Hu. I had to go to Aunt Hu's mother's house, it turned out that Aunt Hu didn't go back at all, and asked Aunt Hu's nephew to call Aunt Hu **, only to know that she was in the county hotel.
I drove my mother to the county seat, and as soon as my mother entered the door, she pulled Aunt Hu with tears in her eyes. I looked at the two of them and choked up, and suddenly remembered that my mother had just received her pension last month.
With a flicker in his mind, he changed his happy expression and said to Aunt Hu: Auntie, my mother has received a pension, didn't you also buy pension insurance back then, you are 3 months younger than my mother, and in another 3 months, you will also have a pension.
When the two of them heard this, they looked at me in unison, and my mother asked: Your aunt bought pension insurance back then?
I smiled and said, "I bought it, and I will be able to get it in 3 months."
My mother burst into tears and smiled, looked at Aunt Hu happily and said: Thanks to the insurance I bought back then, I will have a pension when I am old, and none of us will rely on it.
After Aunt Hu left her uncle's house, she went to the city to help others take care of the children, and she said that she had a salary of 4,000 yuan a month, and it was good to take care of food and housing.
I'm close to where she works, and I always find a day every month to see Aunt Hu.
On New Year's Day, my mother called Aunt Hu ** and asked me to pick up Aunt Hu to go home for the New Year.
At the dinner table, my mother took Aunt Hu's hand and said: You see that we have been concubines for more than ten years, you have helped me a lot, and when you are old, you will come back to live with me.
We both need pensions, and living together is also a companion, isn't it?
Aunt Hu happily agreed, and then suddenly took out an envelope, pushed it in front of me and said: This is what I saved in a year, and you advanced 10,000 yuan of pension insurance for me back then, and you still didn't tell me?
I looked embarrassed, Aunt Hu smiled and said: Then I will ask, the village accountant said that it would cost 30,000 yuan, and I knew that you must have lied to me, and the 10,000 yuan must have been paid by you.
I smiled and didn't speak, and Aunt Hu took my hand and stuffed the money over. smiled and said to my mother: I just said, people's hearts change people's hearts, you can't be wrong, I thank you for your help.
My mother smiled and said: That's right, people's hearts change people's hearts, or because you helped us, we also have to repay our kindness.
As he spoke, the two old ladies took their glasses, and one of them took a drink. I couldn't sit on the sidelines and couldn't.
Now Aunt Hu has rented a house 100 meters away from my house, every month when I go home to see my parents, I must go to her to sit there, they all say that people's hearts change people's hearts, and I really regard Aunt Hu as my own aunt in my life.
As for the two cousins, although we are related by blood, it is better not to leave such relatives.
