On the day of the wedding, my mother asked me: Who are the people sitting in the corner who look like two beggars?
When I looked over, an old man was staring at me, and there was an old lady next to me, and he hurriedly lowered his head when I noticed that I was looking at them. I don't know them but they don't look like beggars. The clothes are new and you can even see the folds. Mom said that the beggar was because they crouched and the old lady was leaning on a cane.
Mom said that Tianchi is an orphan, and there are no relatives over there. If you don't know him, just blast them and leave. The beggars are bad now. They like to wait at the door of the hotel and pretend to be relatives to eat black wine when they see a wedding event.
I said no, call Tianchi to ask, right? In a panic, Tianchi dropped my bouquet of flowers to the ground, and finally squeaked to say that it was their uncle and aunt. I glared at my mother: I almost drove my relatives away.
Mom said you are not an orphan in Tianchi? Where are the relatives? Tianchi was afraid of his mother, so he lowered his head and said that he was a relative in his distant house, and hadn't talked with each other for a long time. But getting married is a major event, and it is a pity that a relative in the family did not come, so...
I leaned on Tianchi's shoulder and complained that he had relatives who came and said that they should be transferred to the same table. Since they are relatives, I can't sit at the spare table. Tianchi stopped and said, let them sit there, they were uncomfortable eating at other tables.
Until the opening of the table, the cousin and cousin sat on the table. Thanks to the wine after passing by the table, Tianchi hesitated and pulled me down and wiped it past them. Looking back and seeing their heads buried very low, I thought for a while and dragged Tianchi back: Uncle and aunt, we have toasted you two!
The two raised their heads and stared at me in disbelief. The second elder's hair is gray, and he looks very old and should be in his seventies or eighties. The aunt's eyes are very hollow. Although his face is facing me, his eyes flicker. I shook my hand in front of her indefinitely, without responding. It turned out that my cousin was blind. Tang, cousin, cousin, this is my daughter-in-law Xiaojie, we are toasting you now! Tianchi is reminding them with a local accent.
Oh oh. Uncle Tang stood up slantingly, his left hand supported the aunt's shoulder and his right hand tremblingly held up the wine glass. The backs of the fingers were full of yellow and yellow cocoons, and the thick fingers were filled with black mud. The days of facing the loess and back to the sky made them bend over prematurely. I was surprised to find that my cousin's right leg was empty. The cousin is blind and the cousin is the lame, what kind of couple? Stop standing, sit down. I walked over to support them. The uncle swayed and sat down again, and the unreasonable aunt suddenly burst into tears in her eyes, and saw the uncle patted her on the back speechlessly. I wanted to persuade them to say something, but Tianchi dragged me away.
I told Tianchi, give them some money when they get home, it's so pitiful. Both of them are disabled, and I can't figure out how to live these days. Tianchi nodded and didn't speak, and hugged me tightly.
On New Year's Eve of the first year, Tianchi said he had a stomachache and went back to the room to sleep without having dinner. I asked my mother to make some rice porridge and followed into the room. Tianchi was lying on the bed with tears still in his eyes.
I said that Tianchi doesn't bring this kind of food. On New Year's Eve of the first year, I won't have dinner with us, and even run into the room like this. It seems that our family treats you badly, and your stomach hurts during the holidays. How can there be such a thing? Actually, I know you don’t have a stomachache, what's the matter?
Tianchi was bored for a long time and said sorry. He just thought of his uncle and aunt and his dead parents. He was afraid that he couldn't help himself at the table and made his parents upset before saying that his stomach hurts.
I put my arms around him and said: What a silly boy, I think they will be done by watching them after the Chinese New Year. Besides, I also want to know how they live their lives.
Forget it in Tianchi, that mountain road is particularly difficult to walk. You will be tired, so let's take you there to see them after the road passes and we have a baby.
I wanted to say in my heart: They might not be there when we give birth! But I didn't dare to speak out. I said I would send them more money and things!
I happened to be on a business trip during the Mid-Autumn Festival of the second year, and I couldn't return home on the Mid-Autumn Festival. I especially miss Tianchi and my parents, so I talked to Tianchi on the phone.
I asked Tianchi what should I do if I can't sleep because I want to? Tianchi said that he would go online or watch TV, and if he couldn't sleep, he thought fiercely with his eyes open. That night, we waited until the phone was hot and out of power. Lying on the hotel bed and looking at the round moon outside the window, I couldn't sleep. With open eyes and tears, I miss Tianchi, my father, and my mother. I thought that Tianchi didn't fall asleep either, maybe he was wandering online. I turned on the computer and re-applied for a QQ account called "Read You" to make fun of Tianchi. After checking it, Tianchi was indeed there, I took the initiative to add him, and he accepted. I asked him: Why are you still hanging out online on such a good day of family reunion? He said: Because my wife was on a business trip, I thought she couldn't sleep, so I went online to check it out. I was quite satisfied with this sentence, and then typed out: If my wife is not at home, I can find a lover instead, for example, on the Internet, chat with me. After a long time he knocked out a line: If you want to find a lover, I'm sorry, I am not the one you are looking for, goodbye. Sorry, I didn't mean that, don't be angry. Baba Baba, I quickly send it over. After a while he asked me: Why are you also hanging out online? I said: I work outside, and now I miss my father and mother. I couldn't fall asleep after talking on the phone with my boyfriend, so I went online.
I also miss my father and mother, but when they are out of love, the son wants to support them but can't. If you are away from home, the son wants to support but can't. how to say? I repeated this sentence again. I'm a little bit baffled, what did Tianchi say like this? You are called "read you", I will let you read it once today. Some things will get sick if you keep them in your heart for a long time, and you will feel better if you take them out to expose them to the sun. Anyway, you and I don’t know you, just listen to a story! As a result, I accidentally learned what Tianchi had been hiding in my heart.
Thirty years ago, my father was almost fifty and still hadn't married because he was lame and his family was poor and no girl would marry him. Later, an old beggar came up to the village with a blind woman. The old man was very ill, so Dad let them rest at home when he saw them pitifully. Unexpectedly, the old man never got up once he stayed, and later the old man's daughter was the blind woman who married my father. Gave birth to me the following year. My family's life is very difficult, but I have never been hungry. Dad and Niang could not grow the fields, so they helped other people's homes to peel corn kernels if they had no income. They peeled off all the blood blisters on their fingers one day, and then wrapped them in cloth strips the next day. In order for me to go to school, the family raises three chickens, two chickens lay eggs and sell them for money, leaving one uncooked egg for me to eat. My mother said that when she was begging for food in the city, she heard that the children in the city ate eggs when they went to school, and our children also ate them. In the future, they will be smarter than the children in the city. But they never eat it. Once I saw my mother lick the egg whites left in the eggshell after breaking the egg into the pot. He refused to eat eggs anymore, and Dad was so angry that he would beat his mother with a stick when he knew the whole story. In the end, I compromised on the premise that the three of us eat together. Although they agreed, they symbolically touched each time with their teeth.
The people in the village never call me by name, they all call me from the lame and blind family. As soon as my parents heard someone call me like this, I would definitely fight that person. If my mother couldn't see it, she would take the bricks and smash it, and she would curse: You who kill a thousand knives, we are lame, my baby is fine, so you are not allowed to call like that. In the future, none of you will be as good as my baby. That year the high school entrance examination, the good news that the lame and blind family got the first place in the county gave parents a real success. The town paid all the tuition and fees for our family, and my father went out of the mountain for the first time on the day I sent me to school. When I got in the car, my tears fell straight down, and my father wiped my tears with a crutches in one hand: you must study hard when you enter the city, and then you will find a job in the city to marry a wife. When others ask about your parents, you will say that you are an orphan, without parents, otherwise others will look down on you. Especially if you don't marry a wife, people will despise you. If you marry a wife by mistake, I have no face to see the ancestor.
father! I told my father to stop talking, what is this, why don't you recognize my father and mother if it doesn't work? Mother also said that this is the truth, listen. Don't you remember being in school? Just say that you are from a lame and blind person, and others will squeeze you against you. At first, even the teacher didn't like you. Later, when you bring your daughter-in-law home from the city, you will say that we are your cousins and cousins. The mother was in tears after she said it. Dad said, don't take your wife home, your mother can't help but reveal her stuff as soon as you bring it back. Then he took ten cooked eggs in my arms and dragged my mother away.
My tears are also pouring down, disability is not their fault, it is God's injustice to them. But they gave me a perfect Tianchi. This silly Tianchi, such a mother and father, couldn't be more perfect. I am very angry, why does he underestimate me so much?
Later, you told your daughter-in-law that they were your cousin and cousin? I knocked past this sentence.
I didn't believe it at first. The daughter-in-law is looking for me and not my parents. Why can't my parents recognize me? But I have been away for ten years, and my parents have never been to my school once. In the first year of work, I wanted to take them to the city for fun, but they refused, saying that people know that my parents are disabled will smear my face and affect my marriage to a daughter-in-law. I've been in the mountains all my life and don't want to go out anymore. The mother also said that she was from the city, which didn't mean anything. Later, I talked to my first girlfriend, and when I thought the time was about the same, I took her home. Unexpectedly, when she got home, she left without leaving for dinner. I chased her out and said that she couldn't live with such a person for a whole day. He also said that there is a genetic problem in our family, and future children will definitely not be healthy. I was so angry that she rolled how far. When I got home, my mother was crying there, and my father scolded me too. If I don't listen to them, I have to cut off our family's incense.
Later, I met my second girlfriend, who is now my wife. I love her very much, and I am afraid of losing her in my dreams. Their family is very rich, and their relatives are all first-class people. With the lessons learned from the past, I am very afraid that I can only be unfilial. But as soon as the holidays come, I miss them, and my heart is panicked and uncomfortable.
Then you never told your wife? Maybe she doesn't care about these?
I haven't said it, nor dare to say it. If she agrees, I don't think my mother-in-law will agree. I live with them, and my father-in-law is a face outsider. If parents come, don't they smear their faces? I can only secretly go back and look at it when I am on a business trip to study. Thank you for listening to me so much, and now I feel more comfortable.
After getting off the net, I still didn't notice it. It is said that children are not too ugly, dogs are not too poor, let’s see what we have done? I understand the helplessness of Tianchi, and also the difficulties of his parents. But they didn't know but plunged the innocent me into a ruthless adversity.
When the day was about to dawn, I knocked on the door of the department manager and told him that the following matters should be handled by him. I have to do something very important as soon as possible, and I will rely on him for everything. Then I packed my luggage and went straight to the train station. Fortunately, I can catch the first train.
That mountain road is really difficult to walk. At first, there was a bit of strength in my legs, but after the blisters formed on my feet, I couldn't walk anymore. It was noon, and the sun was so scorching again, I could only catch my breath. The water I brought back is almost finished, and I don’t know how much distance I have to go down there. I took off my shoes and squeezed the blisters. The pain made me cry for a while. I really wanted to make a call to ask Tianchi to pick me up, but I finally held back. Pulling a handful of reed flowers from the side of the road on the soles of your feet, you feel much more comfortable on your feet. Thinking that Tianchi's parents were still working at home at this time, there was a sudden burst of energy on their legs, and they stood up and continued to walk forward.
When the old village chief led me to the door of Tianchi's house, the red-burning sunset glow was shining on the old jujube tree in front of their house. Sitting under the jujube tree was his cousin, oh no, it was Tianchi's father. Father was much older than he saw when he was married. He was peeling corn in his hand and his crutches leaned quietly on his mutilated leg. The mother knelt on the ground and was about to harvest the dried corn, pushing her hands in handfuls. This is like a painting, and in the painting is the most perfect father and mother in the world.
I walked in front of them step by step, Dad saw me, the corn in his hand fell to the ground, his mouth was wide open, and he asked in surprise: You, why are you here?
The mother groped around and asked: his father, who is coming? Tian, Tianchi family. what! Where is it? Mother panicked and looked for my direction. I bent down and put down my luggage, then grabbed her hand and knelt down in front of them with deep pain: Dad! mother! I'm here to take you home! Dad coughed twice, and tears flowed silently from his wrinkled face. I said, my baby was not raised in vain! Mother rubbed her hands back and forth on her body, and then hugged me, as the tears flowed hot from her hollow eyes into my neck.
Firecrackers were set off in the village when I took my parents away. I once again enjoyed my parents. Tianchi opened the door and was surprised to see my father and mother standing next to me. They were stunned, without saying a word.
I said: Tianchi, I am the one who reads you. I brought my parents back. Such perfect parents, why are you willing to leave them in the mountains?
Thanks!
Tianchi couldn't cry, hugged me tightly, and streamed a line of tears into my neck like his mother.
I am moved, all parents who love their own, all filial children, must reprint this article (Let all of you come together to love your parents and treat your parents kindly)
