Chapter 3: The Father's Request

Since that time, when my parents decided to invite Widow Zhou to come and see her, the place where my dad often went was Widow Zhou's house, and for fear of any gossip, my dad always chose to go after 9 o'clock in the evening. (The fastest update speed, remember this site to find this site)

There is no entertainment in the countryside, and it gets dark early in winter, Widow Zhou's home is in the west of the village, and my home is in the east of the village, and the road to go has to walk through a few small roads, the road is narrow and potholes, because I am too careful, my father doesn't even dare to hit the flashlight, I don't know how many times I fell back and forth in this back and forth, but it is still useless to ask Widow Zhou back.

Is it because the heart is not sincere enough? No! Every time my dad went, he always carried gifts, such as rare milk powder, hard sugar, and old bacon that the family was reluctant to eat, and even promised to give half of the food to the family.

But every time Widow Zhou's answer was almost the same: "If the villagers in the township can help. Eh, how dare I accept that many things from you, what kind of world is it now, you know better than me, E, I'm going to have an accident, not only my old man (father) E, the baby made sin (pitiful), E, I also have to affect my husband's family, don't embarrass me, Eh. ”

Widow Zhou's answer was the same as her hiccup sound, which made people uncomfortable to hear, but what can my dad do? You can only go one at a time.

Later, my dad went frequently, and finally aroused the suspicion of the Zhou family, called the widow Zhou to ask, and knew the reason for the matter, first the old man Zhou spoke: "Lao Chen, you are not kind, aren't you harming our family?" Let's not talk about the question of whether my daughter-in-law can give your baby a good look, just say that she can be optimistic, but do we dare? Your baby is fate, isn't our family fate? Let's go, let's go."

My dad didn't give up and went back, and that Tuesday he couldn't help but pick up a hoe to beat someone, and things seemed to be at an impasse.

My body is still weak, especially when I cry, the intermittent cry as if I was being pinched is more like a lament song in my home, reflecting my home even more sad and miserable.

It was still winter, and there was a burning stove in the house, and my family still didn't feel a trace of warmth in their hearts, including my two young sisters, who were very worried, and when I cried, they would look at their parents in fear, and they were afraid to hear my father's heavy sigh and see my mother's sad eyes.

There was another sobbing sound, and I started crying again, and this time it seemed to be particularly serious, and my mother, as usual, hugged me and patted and hugged me, but the situation did not get better in the slightest.

"Could it be that the baby is hungry? Can you feed your baby some milk? I went to get it today, and I still haven't finished eating, so I'm going to heat it. "When children cry badly, they are generally hungry, which is common knowledge among rural people. My dad was so uncomfortable when he heard my cry that I was being choked by the neck, he got up and took the milk and put it on the stove for me to heat up.

The atmosphere in the house was even heavier, and no one spoke, except for my uncomfortable sobbing sound, which was my mother's whispering 'groan' to me

Finally, the milk was boiling hot, and finally broke the dull atmosphere of my house, and my father took the bowl and took the milk, blew it cold, and got it into the bottle, and handed it to my mother, and then the whole family looked at the bottle in my mother's hand with a look of expectation, hoping that I would be better after drinking this milk, because my cry was so worrying.

A minute later, my mother's panicked and shrill voice broke the temporary calm in the house: "Lao Chen, Lao Chen, what do you think is wrong with us?" ”

My mother's lips were trembling, and my dad ran over in a few big steps, and his whole face turned blue in an instant.

The milk I fed just now couldn't get into my stomach at all, and as soon as it reached my mouth, I choked on my cough, which was not an ordinary child's choking, and I couldn't drink it at all.

My whole face was suffocated, and the sound of 'smack, smack' turned out to be like an old man, this was the most serious situation since I was born, looking at the bulging green tendons on my little neck, my dad also panicked for the first time.

My mom kept patting me, trying to make me feel better, my two sisters even burst into tears because of this situation, I was afraid that my parents were upset, and they didn't dare to cry at all, my dad began to gasp heavily, and his eyes were red, and those who knew my dad well knew that it was my dad who was angry.

In this way, after a few seconds of silence, my dad suddenly rushed out of the house, rushed into the kitchen and got a kitchen knife, rushed back again, and waved it around the house like crazy.

"X your mother, I, Chen Junhong, have never done anything in my life to cheat and cheat my asshole, what are you going to do with my son? What do you want to do at me, come at me, don't mess with my baby! x Your mother, you can do it, a little baby, you can do it! Come out, *** turtle son to Lao Tzu come out, Lao Tzu and you fight! ”

My dad looked like he had been hit by some kind of magic barrier, but it was no wonder that my dad didn't check anything when he went to the township clinic that time, my dad didn't give up, and took me to several hospitals, not only the hospital in the town, but also the hospital in the city, and the doctors said that I was not sick, but malnutrition.

Since I am not sick, especially in the respiratory tract, how can I explain this? And not only my parents, but also my two older sisters, they all said that the way I looked was no different from being choked by the neck!

Originally, because of Liu Wenpo's statement, my dad had a little belief in the statement that something was eyeing me, and with this situation, my dad had already decided that something was messing with his son, which was the general reason why he went crazy that night.

My dad's fuss finally scared my two sisters into tears, and the situation in the house was even worse, at this time my mother showed a woman's peculiar, flexible and strong, she was the calmest one.

She patted me lightly and grabbed my father's hand that was still wielding a kitchen knife: "Lao Chen, there is not only one child in the family, if you are like this, where will we go to the mother (mother and son)?" Look at the eldest sister, the second sister is afraid of what it will become, you should be sober. ”

My mother's words finally made my dad sober up, but the strange thing is that my situation has improved a little bit with his fierce trouble.

I no longer had trouble breathing, the uncomfortable crying gradually stopped, and my little face returned from iron blue to the usual pale appearance, and my dad saw that I was better, and finally calmed down completely.

My mom put me in bed, soothed my sisters, and coaxed them to their rooms to sleep.

Back in the house, my mother looked at my dad and said very calmly, "Lao Chen, I'm going to find Widow Zhou, and I'll go tonight." ”

"It is said that ghosts are afraid of wicked people, Xiuyun, I have completely cleared my son's situation, I also have this idea, let's go tonight, and if it drags on, I'm afraid that our son won't be able to save it." My dad agreed with my mom.

Since it was decided, my parents no longer hesitated, this time they made up their minds, and they set off with me at the moment, it is estimated that my situation just now stimulated them, my father turned on the flashlight for the first time, his son's life is important, where can he be careful at this moment? I just want to hurry up to Widow Zhou's house.

Braving the cold wind, there was no word all the way, and I had to walk for more than 20 minutes on weekdays, but my parents arrived in a hurry of about ten minutes, and I often thought when I grew up that if they hadn't been holding me at that time, they might have been faster.

People, the potential is unlimited, the metaphysical 'mountain' is the main self-cultivation, to say that it is simple is to stimulate the potential.

When I arrived at Zhou's house, it was only eight or nine o'clock, but there was no entertainment in the countryside, and at this time in winter, the doors of every household were closed.

The door of the Zhou family was also closed, and my father didn't speak, but rushed forward and knocked on the door very loudly, and in this quiet night, this rapid knock was particularly harsh.

Xu knocked too quickly, too loudly, and soon there was a human voice in the courtyard of the Zhou family, which was Tuesday's voice: "Which one is it?" ”

My dad didn't speak, he didn't let my mom speak, he just knocked on the door more urgently. Because he was afraid that he would hear that it was my house on Tuesday, he wouldn't open the door, and my father's persistence during this time really annoyed and annoyed the Zhou family.

"Which turtle son is it! Open the sentence (say a word). Tuesday's voice was louder, clearly angry at the behavior.

My dad still knocked on the door persistently, and yelled on Tuesday: "Don't open the door, I won't open the door." ”

My mother was a little anxious next to her, and whispered, "Lao Chen, just say something." ”

"Tell the, Tuesday's personality is notoriously tendonal, and if he really knows it's us, then he really won't open it. I'll knock like this, knock until he's annoyed, he can't make up his mind, he will definitely open, you know, he's bold (not bold, how dare he explore the West Wing at night?) )。 "My dad's personality is also a bit of a scoundrel, but he doesn't show it on weekdays.

Sure enough, as my dad expected, after knocking persistently for ten minutes, Tuesday angrily opened the door, still holding a firewood knife in his hand, daring to treat our family as a troublemaker.

Seeing Tuesday look at the door, my dad stuffed his head and rushed in, this action scared Tuesday, who is this? It's like a dumbfounder!

"Standing (stop), what are you doing, what are you doing in other homes (other people's homes)?" Seeing that my dad squeezed Tuesday out of the way and into the yard, Tuesday was busy shouting.

My dad reacted very quickly, pulled my mother in, and then reflexively closed the door, and then said, "Tuesday, it's me, Lao Chen." ”

"I said you're Lao Chen, you're here" Tuesday breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he is not looking for trouble, these days, who is not afraid that a group of people will suddenly come in and smash the house?

But for my dad's behavior, Tuesday was obviously still angry and funny. So, the tone isn't so good either.

"On Tuesday, folks, let's go in and talk, do you want to? Do you know that my Lao Chen can't force your family to do anything, you let me finish my words tonight, you personally (yourself) said, is my Lao Chen a kind person in the village, to you Tuesday, to your Zhou family, have you ever been neglected before? "My father's words are both soft and hard, and it is difficult for him, a rural man, to raise the art of speaking to this level, which can be regarded as forced.

The villagers, the father who is good and kind in the village, used to walk around with the Zhou family, which obviously made Tuesday's heart soft, the people's feelings at that time were simple, and the sentence can't force your family to do anything, Tuesday's face finally relaxed, and he said in a muffled voice: "Then come in and say, I can't do anything about you on Tuesday." ”

My dad breathed a sigh of relief, the most difficult person in the Zhou family to deal with was Tuesday, and after his pass tonight, it seems that there is still a play.

Entering the house, the Zhou family is roasting in the hall, and there are a few sweet potatoes piled up next to the wangwang stove

Old lady Zhou looked up, looked up at my father, his expression was blank, and he snorted lightly in his nose, but then he saw my mother holding the child, her face softened slightly, but she still couldn't help but sigh.

Widow Zhou wanted to say something, but she only burped twice and shut up.

Biting the cigarette holder and taking a puff of dry tobacco, Mrs. Zhou said: "Yueshuang, take Zhou Qiang, Zhou Hongjun went to sleep." ”

Yueshuang is Tuesday's daughter-in-law, and when she heard the old man's order, she hurriedly sighed, pulled Zhou Qiang, Zhou Jun was about to go out, Zhou Qiang was Zhou Da's widow, and Zhou Jun was Tuesday's son, and both children were in elementary school.

"No, grandpa, I'm going to eat roasted red weed and then go to sleep." Zhou Qiang did not follow.

"I'm going to eat and sleep too." Seeing that his brother said that, Zhou Jun also coaxed.

Tuesday's eyes widened, and he roared: "Roasted red lotus and can't grow feet and fly away, let Lao Tzu go to sleep, otherwise I will give Lao Tzu 'bamboo shoots and fried meat' (beaten)!" ”

It seems that Tuesday is still full of prestige, and under a roar, the two dolls are silent, and they are obediently led out by Tuesday's daughter-in-law.

"Jun Hong, I know what you're here for this time, I've made it clear, folks, you can't force our family." Master Zhou knocked the smoke pot and said calmly, his tone did not relax at all.

It's not that they're ruthless, let's not talk about whether this matter is sure or not, let's just talk about this situation, in case someone says that one day they leak their mouths, it's a typical example! Besides, Widow Zhou was originally on the cusp.

My dad stared at Mrs. Zhou with pleading, his teeth clenched tightly, as if he was making a decision, and finally after a few seconds of silence like this, my dad's tears flowed out, and then he knelt down for Mr. Zhou, followed by my dad, and my mother knelt down with me in his arms.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.

My dad has never cried a few times in his life, and this time he cried, it seems that he is really sad, sad that he is an only son, why did it become like this, sad that one day he, a man who stands on top of the sky, will have to kneel down for others.

This is such a heavy kindness, it is really the most difficult cause and effect in every life, so filial piety comes first, and it is a great evil to lose your parents.

"Jun Hong, you are, you baby, hey, why are you kneeling" Mrs. Zhou obviously didn't expect my dad to be like this, so she stood up all of a sudden, and her tone was a little flustered.

The older generation in the countryside pays the most attention to this, and if they are kneeled by others for no reason, they will be blessed.
