This year the north is particularly cold, my house is a high-rise, the heating is sufficient, the bedroom valves are closed, only the living room is left, the temperature is still in the degree.
When I go home, I will go home with half pants and half shirts, just like I spent summer. The children also always drink cold drinks to relieve their fevers.
Soon it will be Laba, my parents are either at my house at this time of year, or at my brother's house, because my father's old cold legs, my mother's lumbar spine, are afraid of cold, so every year Laba has become a customary day to take my parents into the city.
After breakfast, I asked my husband to drive back to the village. In the morning, my mother and I packed up all the things that should be packed at home, had lunch, and when my father woke up in the afternoon, we locked the door and prepared to go.
As soon as I went out, I saw the second aunt and the second uncle on the other side, and the second aunt asked with a complicated expression: Qingqing, is this to take your parents into the city to live in a high-rise building? Why doesn't your brother pick up?
Then I looked behind me and saw that my husband didn't come out, so I added to my mother's yin and yang weirdness: Sister-in-law, this daughter's house is not easy to live in! A son-in-law is no better than a son!
I looked at the emaciated second aunt and didn't speak. Open the car door, take out a large box of Chinese patent medicine and a shoebox from it, hand it to the second aunt and say: Second aunt, it's cold, you see you're still wearing summer slippers, be careful that the soles of your feet are cold. This is a medicine for the stomach, you take one in the morning and one in the evening after a meal, take care of your stomach, you can eat more, and you will not get thinner and thinner.
The second aunt was stunned for a moment, and the second aunt blinked his little eyes and hurriedly reminded the second aunt: Hey, Meimei, Qingqing gave you something, and you still don't catch it? The child's hands hurt from the cold.
Only then did the second aunt react and hurriedly took it. muttered in a low voice: I'm sick, I don't take it seriously myself, Qingqing remembered.
I smiled and said, of course, who made me your niece! Take the keys to our house and remember to feed my mom her two puppies. If you don't have enough food for the dog, you can feed it with your leftovers.
The second uncle took the key first. He nodded and said, "Qing, don't worry." This matter was handed over to the second uncle to ensure the completion of the task.
We drove away. In the rearview mirror, the second aunt and the second uncle were holding two boxes and a bunch of keys, looking at us blankly.
Along the way, the mother chattered endlessly about the grievances and grievances of the two families.
My grandfather was a veteran, after recovery, he worked in a county court in Shaanxi, and after 60 years of famine, he couldn't go hungry, so he went home to plant a small piece of land and became an authentic farmer. It seems that in 82 years, ** introduced relevant policies, and gave a monthly subsidy of 70 yuan to grandpa.
It was my grandfather's 70 yuan a month that became the fuse that caused the conflict between my mother and my second aunt.
My father and aunt are two years apart, and when they were young, they were strictly disciplined by their grandfather, who was a judge, and they were both cautious and measured people. Growing up in the unit dormitory with his grandfather since he was a child, he knows how to be polite and humble, and the brother and sister are behaving in front of their parents, especially in front of their grandfather, they are careful when they talk and walk.
The second aunt was born after her grandparents returned to the village, when her grandmother was 42 years old and her grandfather was 40 years old. The two are also middle-aged, and they can raise and hurt more than their father and aunt who were born in their 20s, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are pampered.
Grandma often said that the second aunt was very clingy when she was a child, and she was still sticky to her grandfather. No matter how tired and tired the grandfather came back from the field, he had to put the second aunt around his neck and circle the yard five or six times, or the second aunt would cry all the time.
After the second aunt went to elementary school, she basically didn't carry a schoolbag from the first to the third grade, and when it was her turn to be on duty, she asked her grandfather to hold a match at three or four o'clock in the morning, go to school to light a stove with her, and sweep the floor.
Grandma is even more spoiled by this little daughter, the eggs laid by eight chickens, unless they have to pay tuition for the second aunt and have no money to sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative, the others are fried and eaten by the second aunt with a spoon, in the words of the eldest aunt, she and her father can't even smell the smell of scrambled eggs.
My father married my 18-year-old mother at the age of 20, and my second aunt and my sister only wanted to be 3 years apart. Grandma had rare food, and our sisters saw that we had a little bit to satisfy our hunger, and we couldn't see that grandma never took the initiative to give a little to her two granddaughters. The mother also complained about her grandmother's approach, but the father was silent, and the mother could only whisper a few words.
After my aunt got married, my father's father was a barefoot doctor in the village, and his family was more financially prosperous than ours. When my aunt came back, she always had to bring some food to my second aunt and my sister, that was when my second aunt went out in elementary school, and when I saw my aunt going out with food, I knew that I would send it to my sister, and immediately blocked the door, crying and making trouble, until my aunt put the things in her hand back, and then refused to give up.
After the second aunt reached junior high school, she became more and more lazy day by day, and her grandmother also had heart problems and was often hospitalized. The second aunt said that she wanted to take care of her grandmother and dropped out of school. She was 15 and my sister was 12.
Grandma is not in good health, and three meals a day fall on grandpa's head. Grandpa not only has to go to the field, but also has to serve grandma, the second aunt followed grandpa to the ground, but she is not to work, but to supervise grandpa. In the summer, grandpa was sweating and weeding, and the second aunt either took a shade under the tree, or counted how many fields grandpa had left, so angry that grandpa simply didn't let her go to the ground.
When the second aunt was 21 years old, my grandfather's comrades-in-arms were doing wholesale in the city, and they couldn't be busy, so the second aunt said that she didn't want to stay at home, so she went to help. The Sun family in our village runs a commissary, and his son Sun Lei often goes to his grandfather's comrades-in-arms to get goods.
The second aunt got married at the age of 22. Grandpa lost a washing machine. I bought a spring bamboo shoot brand TV for our family, saying that it was for our family, but in fact, my grandfather likes to watch TV and the news, and my grandmother also likes to watch singing, but my grandmother has heart disease. I couldn't stay up late, the neighbors came to watch TV, and they didn't leave until the TV series ended, which affected my grandmother's sleep, and my grandfather had to move to our house as a last resort.
But the second aunt took care of this, crying and making trouble, and asked her grandfather to buy her a TV set too. Grandma takes medicine all day long, grandpa really has no money in his hand, and the second aunt who is watching the sprinkling and rolling is powerless.
But despite the opposition of her husband's family, the second aunt moved her family to our door, so that she could come back to watch TV every day. Once because of watching TV for a long time, my chest was tight, and I didn't think about tea and dinner. My mother also asked my grandfather several times to move the TV back to their house, so as to save myself from watching my second aunt's stinky face every day and listening to her mean words.
The four sons of the second aunt's family, although there is a commissary, but there are more wolves and less meat, and they still count on this commissary and the more than ten acres of thin land to marry the other three sons, so no matter how powerful the second aunt is, she can't pick out half a dime. If the second uncle has no money, he drinks when he has money, and the others stand aside. So for a long time, the second aunt's family couldn't afford to buy a TV. After dinner, he came to our house and turned on the TV by himself. Other neighbors watched TV and came to join in the fun. The small house was packed with neighbors and friends. My sister and I had to study and do our homework every day on the cold stone slabs in the large vat on the roof of the hall.
Sometimes my mother locked the door and went out to the field and came back late, and my second aunt said that my mother was afraid that she would go over, so she deliberately came back late; Sometimes she came over to us for dinner, and she was too late to eat, and she told my grandmother that my mother was a heart-picker.
In this way, I went back and forth for more than ten years, playing right and wrong, sowing discord, so that my mother and my grandmother did not get along, because of a little thing is noisy, grandma is sick, my mother dare not do anything, but grandma dares to beat my mother.
Who can not hate such a-stirring stick. The three of us brothers and sisters hated her so much that we didn't want to take a second look.
I got married at the age of 25. My mother also said something about things at home, after all, I am not there every day, and I can feel it so real. Later, my mother said that my second aunt was sick and often couldn't eat, so she always followed her appetite. I probably think it's stomach problems.
The conflict between the second aunt and our family escalated after the younger brother was married.
My grandfather only had one eldest grandson from my younger brother, and it was three generations of single generations. Grandpa naturally loves him more. When I was a child, I didn't feel much, but once my brother quarreled not to go to school, and my parents persuaded me to no avail, and after my grandfather found out, he took a whip to drive the cow, and my brother got up from the ground immediately after seeing it, and ran to school with a smoke.
Grandpa is getting older and older, after grandma died in 93, grandpa is not in good health, the second aunt lives door to door, only occasionally comes to see grandpa, my parents for grandpa to carry feces and urine, mother always make some grandpa's favorite food to grandpa. The grandfather, who has always had an opinion of his mother, probably woke up when he was sick, and gave 1,000 yuan to his mother when his younger brother was married, so that he could make up enough money for the woman's bride price.
Grandpa has a lot of money and the second aunt knows very well, one day when she saw that her grandfather's big deposit slip was gone, she asked her grandfather, and grandpa said that she would use it for her grandson to marry his daughter-in-law.
The second aunt ignored her grandfather, who was still sick, and cried loudly, saying that her grandfather was eccentric. His son can't get married at the age of 25, and his grandfather doesn't care at all, and so on. It is not the one who counts the mother, and he doesn't choose what he says, but he actually says that his mother cheated his grandfather's money with clever words, and his brother doesn't let his sister-in-law do ......evilA lot of unpleasant words, a lot of lies, the scolded mother wanted to rush out and fight with her several times, and the scolded father went around at home, but there was nothing to be done. Looking at the neighborhood, all around the neighborhood came to see the excitement. My father said angrily: How did I become a brother and sister with such a thing?
Seeing his wife go crazy, the second aunt retracted his head back into the door, watching the movement silently.
It wasn't until the mother found that the grandfather couldn't breathe and shouted for the father to come over and have a look, that the second aunt stopped crying and scolding, patted her buttocks, and got up to go home.
Soon after, my grandfather died of illness. I don't know if the second aunt is angry, anyway, since she finished making trouble, her grandfather's illness has become worse and worse day by day, and in the end, the infusion can't be infused, and he passed away.
My father, who has always been taciturn, said a cruel word to us: I will see your second aunt take a detour in the future. Mother hated it even more. Grandpa is here, there is an idea for everything, so the yard does not look empty, there is a voice in the house when the parents come back from the ground, and now looking at the two empty rooms of grandpa, my heart is very sour and uncomfortable.
At this point, my second aunt and my parents didn't talk when they met, and they hid if they could, but they couldn't hide, and no one paid attention to anyone. But the second aunt didn't forget to spit hard.
Mother said that when she went out, she didn't see her second aunt, it was an auspicious day of the zodiac, and it was better to go out without looking at the calendar.
This relationship lasted for two or three years, the cousin got married, and the second aunt sent the second aunt to deliver the message.
On my cousin's wedding day, our whole family arrived, including my eldest sister, me, my brother, and my parents. Originally, their parents didn't want to go for anything, but the second aunt broke their hearts. My brother and I talked about the truth that blood is thicker than water for two days, and my parents finally nodded in agreement.
At the banquet, the second aunt still ignored it, but obviously she didn't have the bright hatred in her eyes like before. She dodged the eyes of our family, consciously or unconsciously, pretending not to care, it didn't matter.
Later, I heard my mother say that on a snowy day, the corn in the yard needs to be covered with plastic sheeting, and the two of them can't pull the plastic sheet more than ten meters long, and the second uncle will come over to help when he sees it, and the second aunt will also pull a few times if she pretends to find the second uncle.
The car was moving slowly, and the thin ice on the windows was melting. The mother's tone of voice was obviously softening, not so indignant at first, and she vaguely felt that she was relieved. Therefore, when I persuaded her, my mother first let go of her prejudices, she said: When people are old, they should not care about what they shouldn't care about, and they should let go of what they shouldn't care about.
The father was silent and did not speak, probably agreeing with his mother's statement. After all, how much hatred can a mother and compatriots have, and they can be very blushing when they see each other!
Nowadays, although none of our three brothers and sisters are rich and noble, and none of them are promoted to become rich, they are very filial to our parents and our brothers and sisters, and our brothers and daughters-in-law are good to their in-laws, which is well-known in our village.
On the other hand, the second aunt gave birth to a cousin, although she is a talent, she can't be a person, and she yells at her parents and disrespects her. He has a kind nature, but he speaks harshly, has few friends, and sees a needle as long as he sees a little good, and after a long time, people will give birth to a hateful heart.
The second uncle, who has studied in high school, has a set of reasons when his father speaks of the truth. But there are many brothers in the family, the family background is not good, and sometimes they forget their righteousness, especially after opening a commissary, they become very snobbish. Therefore, the cousin was affected by the environment, did not study well, lacked correct cognition, and unconsciously imitated the actions of his parents.
Therefore, a person's family of origin has a great influence on him. The cousin was also a victim. I said to my parents.
We arrived home soon.
After dinner and watching TV, the second uncle called **, saying that the water pipe for pumping water at his parents' house forgot to put it away and froze, he had thawed it, and asked his father to put the water pipe in **?
* On the other side, there was the sound of the second aunt barking a dog, my mother and I looked at each other and smiled, and my father also smiled. Tell me, just tell your second uncle to put it in the south room.
We are not always around you, you are getting older, and you have a lot of things to depend on others. Instead of asking others for help, his sister-in-law and brother-in-law are at the opposite door, and they don't need their own people, and they go around to ask for others, and they will only go further and further away from their relatives.
If you can't eat the things that our brothers and sisters give you, why don't you give them to your second aunt instead of giving them to others?
Any relationship, hello, hello, hello, everyone, you are old, you should have a greater sense of tolerance.
I said emotionally, and my parents listened silently, and I knew that the ice in their hearts had begun to melt.
Relatives and Meimei, talking and laughing together, what a beautiful picture it is, and it is difficult to buy.
