Xia is thirty years old this year. Since she was a child, she has seen that her mother always looks at her father's life with a humble face. Her father has a bad temper and is a little boyish. Her mother's family is in a difficult situation. In order to treat her father's illness, she gave up the university she had already entered and had to marry a father with better living conditions. Xia's mother sold herself to her father. She did not keep a single bride price, and she treated her father's illness, but she still did not keep her father's life.
Xia's mother was criticized and complained by her mother-in-law because she did not take a penny back to her husband's house. At first, Xia's father was still okay to her mother-in-law, but she couldn't resist her mother-in-law always spoke in front of Xia's father.
After a long time, Xia's father was also unhappy and started drinking. Xia's mother advised her father to drink less and hurt her body, but she couldn't resist her mother-in-law and inspire her insults. When her father waved her fist to her for the first time, she was still cheering for her father.
Later, my mother became pregnant, and my mother-in-law was more restrained and hoped that her mother could give birth to a fat boy for their family.
Because it was difficult for childbirth, the mother suffered a lot and finally gave birth to Xia. However, due to serious damage to her body, she could not have children in the future. . If it weren't for the high cost of divorce and remarriage, the mother-in-law would have forced Xia's parents to divorce
Xia and her mother would have survived in the cold eyes and indifference of her mother-in-law. The mother worked hard day by day and had to take care of Xia in her cradle. It was in this environment that Xia grew up with difficulty. Because she was a girl, her father was not very concerned about Xia's study. With Xia's mother insisted on her until she graduated from junior high school, her mother-in-law refused to let Xia go to school again, saying, "What's the use of girls learning so much? Just be able to write their own names," but Xia's mother firmly disagreed. Even if her father fucked and beat her under the instigation of her mother-in-law, she did not give up. She would rather go out to work than to study for Xia.
After her mother's repeated insistence, her father finally agreed helplessly. Xia cherished it very much. The learning opportunities her mother had won for her were the first to go and the last to go in school. Her hard work pays off. Xia's excellent grades were admitted to the good university she had always dreamed of. But she knew her father would not agree to let her go to college.
She secretly hid the notice and was worried what to do? The notice was discovered by her mother. She hugged Xia excitedly, reassuring Xia that she would definitely provide Xia with her college entrance examination.
She took out the few private money she had saved secretly and then borrowed it from everywhere. Finally, she collected all the tuition fees. She secretly stuffed the money to Xia, saying that her grandmother and father had already found a partner for her and hoped that she would get married as soon as possible.
Xia panicked when she heard this, and cried and hugged her mother and said that she was still young and didn't want to get married. Her mother asked her to book a ticket as soon as possible to register for college.
But Xia was worried about her mother. If her father knew that it was her mother who let her go and borrowed so much money, Xia didn't dare to think about how her father would treat her mother.
But her mother said: "Don't worry about me, as long as you go to college, you will help your mother realize her dream of college and make up for her regrets. Mom is proud of you,"
Xia finally got on the train under the urging of her mother and yearning for university life. Dad got it, and she was furious. Under the instigation of her grandmother, she once again stretched out her clutches to her mother. If the neighbors hadn't heard it, they would have stopped her, the consequences would be unimaginable. But Xia’s mother does not regret it. She wants to fight for even a little opportunity for her daughter so that she can go out of the house and live the life she wants. This is the greatness of maternal love!
Xia saves money in college, and goes out to find a part-time job after class. She doesn't go home during the winter and summer vacations. She works to earn tuition and living expenses. Sometimes she will receive remittances from her mother. She knows that it is not easy for her mother to save some money, so she tells her mother that she can make money now and asks her not to worry about her, but her mother still sends money to her every now and then.
Xia is studying harder in college. She must study hard and find a good job after graduation so that she can bring her mother out to live with her.
Xia finally graduated and found a job she liked. She worked harder and wanted to stabilize as soon as possible.
Xia has not called her a phone call since the day she went to college. In her father's words, she just took a "white ungrateful wolf".
Xia worked for five years, and finally, relying on her own efforts and her mother's subsidies from time to time, she bought a small house with a loan. She has her own roots in a strange city.
She didn't want to wait any longer. She bought the train ticket and went home. She wanted to go home to pick up her suffering mother.
arrived at the door of her house and met her old neighbor who had been for many years.
From her mouth, she learned about the changes at home over the years. Because of drinking for many years, her father had cerebral hemorrhage last year. Although he was rescued, he got hemiplegia . Most of the work in the field was done by my mother. Sometimes when the neighbors saw the difficulties of her family, they would come to help, but my father still didn't quit drinking. If he didn't feel good, he would vent his anger on Xia's mother.
Xia realized that such a big thing happened at home, but her mother had never told her.
Xia walked into the door of the house that she had not entered in the past decade and saw her father sitting in the yard with a cane. The mother was busy in the kitchen, while the father was still scolding her mother.
They all saw Xia. The father was obviously stunned. He looked at her without saying a word for a long time, and the mother rushed out all of a sudden, hugging Xia tightly, and Xia also hugged her mother.
The father didn't say a word and entered the house with a cane. Xia's mother used her calloused hands to stroke Xia's face. This is the daughter she had been thinking about day and night.
Xia said: "Mom, I'm back, are you okay? How are you in good health? Such a big thing happened at home, why don't you tell me, Mom, I'm back this time to pick you up to the city, let's live together, let me take care of you," the mother said with tears in her eyes, crying and laughing, "As long as you have this heart, it's the same wherever you are,"
As he said that, he took Xia to her room and looked at everything familiar. The painful memories of her childhood were recorded here. Mom: "You have a rest first, mom will make you something delicious." When the family was sitting at the table to eat, his father drank for the first time, but he just ate. His mother kept holding the dishes she liked in Xia's bowl. Xia choked and ate.
Father also picked up a piece of meat and wanted to put it in the bowl, but he was afraid that Xia would dislike him. Xia's mother took it and put it directly into her bowl.
At this moment, Xia suddenly felt a throbbing in her heart. Is this my father expressing his love for her?
At night, Xia insisted on sleeping with her mother. Her father gave up her position very consciously. Xia asked her mother: "Did she regret marrying her father back then?
: "It's fake not to regret, but I've been used to it for so many years. Your father has such an irritable personality. Drinking like this over the years is also a longing for you. You can't eat anything if you don't eat anything! Your father actually loves you in his heart, but he is not good at expressing himself. In fact, the money I sent to you in the past few years was all my money my father asked me to give you. He didn't let me tell you that no matter how much money he made in so many years, he would keep it for me. He also said that if you can save some money for you, you are afraid that you will encounter difficulties in your life in the city, he is worried about your future life. Maybe he is not a good husband, but he is a good father. You should know more about him,"
: "Mom, don't say good things for him. I remember how he treated you when I was a child, and I will never forget it in my life." Xia said angrily and said
: "Those years have been Your grandma didn't play a good role. She looked down on me and said that I took his family's money and gave it to her parents' family. She didn't want to live with your father sincerely. In your grandma's eyes, I was a liar who cheated her family's money. Now, thinking about it, she also has her difficulties,"
: "But my father never smiled at me, and he always scolded me, "
: "Your father was also annoyed by your breasts. I didn't give birth to a boy for his family to continue the incense. He felt that he had no face. Let him go over the past. You come back for two more days this time, and mom will replenish your body. Look, you have lost weight. Are there any suitable partners in the city? Mom wants to hug her grandson,"
: "Mom, I don't want to get married, I just want to spend my whole life with you and be filial to you,"
. The mother and daughter smiled happily.
. In the next few days, my father worked hard for Xia, 's . I was afraid that she would think the water was cold, so I boiled water for her and washed her. He also asked someone to buy her hometown specialties she loved. Xia was touched.
Since Xia returned home, her father stopped drinking and looked at Xia's expression embarrassedly every day.
Because Xia had not been home for many years, she was a little unacceptable to the local conditions. She suddenly vomited, had diarrhea and had a high fever in the middle of the night.
Mother discovered it and woke her up quickly. The two of them looked at Xia's painful expression and were extremely anxious.
But the hospital was far away, and it was raining again. At this time, My father told my mother to take good care of Xia at home. He went to find a village doctor. As he said that, his father rushed out of the house in the rain, leaning on a crutch, regardless of the cold weather, and the road was slippery. After less than an hour, there was a knock on the door. The village doctor arrived. He asked about Xia's symptoms and checked Xia's body. He said that the problem was not big, so he prescribed medicine and drip for Xia, and told her to take the test for three days first to see the situation. If it did not improve, he had to go to a large hospital for a thorough examination.
and other village doctors were busy. It was over, and my mother and Xia remembered, why didn’t they see their father coming back?
village doctor said that his father had poor legs and feet and walked slowly. He was afraid that he would delay Xia’s illness, so he urged the village doctor to come first.
was talking when he saw his muddy father coming in, mixed with sweat, rain, and blood on his body, but he couldn’t hide his anxiety and care. He looked at Xia’s eyes and asked the village doctor as soon as he entered the door: “Doctor, is my daughter okay? "At that moment, the ice in Xia's heart finally began to melt. The look she looked at her father finally felt warm. Her father still loved her.
Mother quickly asked her father to change clothes. Xia quickly recovered her health under the careful care of her mother and father. Her relationship with her father also improved unprecedentedly. She made three rules with her father. First, she had to quit drinking. Because alcohol harmed her body, she had to keep her body well and take care of her grandson. Second, she could not beat her mother again. If there was another time, she would take her mother away from him so that he would never find her again.
father nodded and said, "Listen to the girl."
xia finally had the long-awaited family protection
