In this regard, the other aunts did not follow my grandmother, only my mother followed.
I was 5 years old at the time, and I already had 2 older sisters, 2 younger sisters, and my mother had a child in her belly.
On the day she learned that my mother was pregnant, my grandmother excitedly took the money to the fortune telling, and when she came back, she was very happy and came to our house to help take care of the children, cook, wash clothes, sweep the floor, feed the pigs, and so on.
Moreover, my grandmother has more than a dozen hens at home and lays eggs every day.
When the eggs first came down, they were still hot, so she used them to boil poached eggs for her mother's body.
However, when the people in the village looked at the shape of her mother's belly, they all thought that she should still be a girl.
Grandma was hesitant, but when she heard someone say this, her face immediately darkened, and she didn't say a word of explanation at all, and immediately went back to her house.
Dad came back from working in the fields, washed his hands, sat down to eat, and at first he picked up the rice bowl, looked at it, and then asked Mom, "Where is my mother?" Mom lowered her head and replied, "Some people said that I should be pregnant with a girl this time, but your mother was angry, so she left."
Let's eat, the food is going to be cold. ”
Dad was stunned, didn't say anything, and ate quietly.
Grandma didn't look at it at all, turned around and left.
Someone else stood at the gate of the courtyard and greeted her, saying, "Oh, did you have another granddaughter?" See you're upset? Grandma was already angry, and when she heard someone else ask like this, she immediately pulled the other party's hair, slapped the person's mouth, and scolded while fanning: "I'll let you say it again, you say it again!" The people next to him came to fight, and the person who was beaten covered the bloody corners of his mouth, gritted his teeth and said: "I'll just say, I'll just say, who doesn't know that your daughter-in-law has a belly of daughters, and she can't give birth to a son at all." ”
There was a lot of noise outside, and the mother in the house was silently crying with her newborn sister in her arms.
Grandma angrily let go of her mother's confinement.
On the third day, my grandmother and aunt came in with baskets to see my mother and sister.
The other aunts didn't come because they thought our family was poor and never came to the door.
Grandma saw her mother lying on the bed with a pale face, lifeless, and did not say anything.
She sighed, took out a dozen eggs from the basket and boiled them into soup, and served a large bowl for Mom, and we small ones only drank a few sips.
After they came for a long time, my aunt and grandmother said, "Mom, you can stay and take care of Sister 4, and when she is out of confinement, you can go home."
Don't worry, I'm in charge of my family. ”
Grandma looked at it, nodded and said, "Okay, then you go back first, and I'll stay and take care of your sister."
You're sensible, so I won't say that much. ”
My mother said to my aunt with red eyes, "Brother and sister, I thank you."
Actually, I wanted to ask my mother to stay for a few days at the beginning, but I was afraid that you would think too much. ”
Speaking of excitement, my mother cried sadly.
My aunt hurriedly said to her: "Sister, don't cry, it's not good to hurt your health."
I know you're having a hard time right now, but it's only temporary.
What happened to the girl? Raise them well**, have a chance, and still live a good life.
Then you and your brother-in-law will be happy. ”
As a mother, you have to be tough, and a few children still have to rely on you. ”
In order to let my mother get a better rest, when my aunt left, she took me with her and left 50 yuan for my grandmother to cut meat for my mother to eat and replenish her body.
My uncle is a primary school teacher, and my uncle was correcting my homework, and my aunt asked me to sit on her lap and said to me kindly: "Lotus, you must study hard in school in the future, grow up to be a useful person like your uncle, and be filial to your parents, okay?" I was young at the time, and I didn't understand many things, so I looked at my aunt's gentle smile and said ignorantly, "Okay." ”
She kissed me and said happily, "Awesome." ”
Then help me with my feet, change my clothes, and take me and my cousin to rest.
One shop sells wonton, and the other sells grain and oil.
On the market day, my aunt went to her mother's house to help and brought my cousin and me with her.
Feed me a bowl of wonton first, then let her niece take us to play.
Once, my aunt gave me and my cousin peanut candy to eat.
My cousin finished eating and grabbed what I was doing, but I didn't give it to me, and I was slapped by him.
My cousin didn't like me and he said that since I came to their house, I had robbed him of his snacks.
He was only a year older than me, and because he was a picky eater, he was skinny, and I was different, he was chubby.
I was slapped by my cousin, it hurt so much that I couldn't get angry, so I pushed him to the ground.
My cousin fell and cried loudly: "Mom, my cousin beat me, she beat me, you drive her away, don't let me live in our house." ”
My aunt came out of the kitchen, wiped her apron with both hands, and said to my cousin: "Okay, I heard it just now, who told you to rob your cousin of peanut candy and beat her, you did it first, you deserve it."
Get up quickly, don't cry, shame on you. ”
Actually, before my aunt came out, I was a little nervous.
Although she is usually very good to me, my cousin is her child, and I am not.
In terms of intimacy, she will definitely stand on her cousin's side.
As a result, I didn't expect my aunt not only not to scold me, but also to educate my cousin.
I lived at my aunt's house for 3 years, and it wasn't until she was pregnant with her second child, the pregnancy was not good, and her mobility was difficult, and my mother took me home.
In the past 3 years, my mother's whole person has changed a lot, and she is no longer the same as before.
Back at the entrance of the village, someone saw us and said, "Isn't this a lotus?" I haven't seen you for a few years, and I'm almost unrecognizable.
Your uncle's family lives a rich life, and he looks at the fat people who raised you for nothing. ”
She asked my mom why suddenly I came back.
My mother said that my aunt was pregnant and it was inconvenient to take care of me.
The man looked at my mother's belly and said, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and this is a great joy."
What about you, it's been 3 years since you gave birth to a little daughter, why is there no news in your belly? You're not too young, so hurry up and have a son. ”
Mom said, "No, I won't give birth." ”
The other party was surprised and said, "Not born? Why didn't you give birth? Aren't you going to have a son? If you don't give birth to a son, who will provide for you in the future? How to pass on the lineage. ”
In the past, my mother would be very uncomfortable when she heard others ask such questions, she would think a lot, feel that she was inferior to others, dare not speak, and be flustered.
But now she said: "If you don't give birth, the more you give birth, the poorer you become."
I raised 6 children in my family well, better than anything else.
What's there without a son? With 6 daughters, are you still afraid that there will be no one to support you? I don't care about anything else. ”
Mom has really changed, even grandma scolding her can't affect her, if she is not convinced, immediately push back, so that grandma is so angry that she can't speak, and she is no longer a pitiful image that is easy to be swayed.
Because of her transformation, our situation has improved a lot and our lives have changed for the better.
My aunt gave birth to a boy in her second child, and when we went to see her, she smiled and said, "I only have the life of being a mother-in-law, forget it, I won't give birth, two children are enough." ”
My aunt didn't have a daughter and was very nice to us.
During the winter and summer vacations, she picked me up, my sister and my sister to her house to play, and we all liked to go there because there was good food and fun.
Among the sisters, my aunt treated me the best, maybe because I had lived in her house for three years, maybe because of the special fate, in short, I had a deep affection for her.
When I was in high school, I lived on campus and could only go home once a month.
I know that my aunt likes to eat glutinous rice cakes, and every time I have a holiday, I will use the money I have saved to buy a few glutinous rice cakes to see her.
She was very happy to see me coming, and she insisted that she would keep me down for dinner, and she would buy meat and fish.
When I was leaving, my aunt gave me 100 yuan and told me not to tell my mother.
She told me to buy snacks when I was hungry during my evening self-study.
At that time, I felt a little embarrassed, I spent a few yuan to buy glutinous rice cakes, but I enjoyed a hearty meal, and I also got 100 yuan, and I felt that I was taking advantage.
But my aunt said, "You kid has too many thoughts, I'm your aunt, and I'm already very happy if you come to see me." ”
I was admitted to a key university, and my aunt and uncle came to congratulate me for the first time, and they brought a lot of dishes.
My aunt took my hand and said, "I knew you were a good person, and I was so happy for you." ”
Before school started, my aunt took me to buy two sets of beautiful clothes, a pair of shoes, and a haircut.
She said: "People rely on clothes to pretend to be Buddha and rely on gold", dress up better, don't look flat.
She also told me to be more confident when entering university, to walk with my head held high, not to be afraid of problems, and to learn to get along with my teachers and classmates.
After graduating from university, I was able to stabilize my job.
Every time I go home during the Spring Festival, I go to visit my aunt and uncle.
I buy clothes and shoes for my parents, and I buy them for them.
Later, I got married, had two children, and didn't have as much time as I could.
My aunt is also very busy, and my cousin also has two children after getting married, so she goes to help take care of the children.
After his cousin got married, he had three children, and his aunt also went to help him take care of the children.
This has been going on for more than a decade.
Due to the long distance and inconvenient travel, everyone has their own lives, so I don't have time to visit my aunt and uncle as often as I used to.
But I still often send them ** greetings, care about their health and living conditions, and send them red envelopes during the New Year and festivals.
This morning, for some reason, I always felt that something had happened, and the whole person felt very uncomfortable and seemed very uneasy.
In the afternoon, I suddenly received a ** from my cousin, telling me that my aunt was sick and hospitalized, and that she had heart problems and needed surgery.
When I heard the news that my aunt was hospitalized, I was very worried and understood why I felt unwell in the morning.
I hurriedly asked the leader for leave, and then went home to pack briefly, explain things to my husband, and drove home alone.
My aunt was lying weakly on the hospital bed, and although she was very happy to see me come back, she said, "It's just a minor operation, it's not a big problem, why are you coming back, delaying things." ”
I held her hand tightly and said, "I came back to see you because I was worried about you and couldn't feel at ease."
Ignore me, I've already arranged things and won't delay anything. ”
That day, I talked to my aunt in the hospital for a while.
Before leaving, I told my aunt to have a good rest, come to see her again, and then quietly give my cousin 10,000 yuan.
Because if you give money to your aunt in person, she won't accept it.
She always said that I had my own little family and that I couldn't spend money arbitrarily.
It's not a lot of money, but it's a part of my heart.
My aunt made my mother strong, and she also made me understand the importance of knowledge and work hard to succeed.
In my heart, my aunt is like my other mother, and I will always remember her kindness to us.
Therefore, I think that making money is important, but my aunt is even more important.
