Text: Qinghe Picture: From the Internet
Yesterday my sister-in-law called from her hometown and said that a stupid person came to my house yesterday. fool? I was also confused for a moment.
My sister-in-law told me that the man was called Erhua (my husband)'s name and muttered about the rubber factory.
Oh, I remembered it, Zhao Shuanzhu! It's Zhao Shuanzhu! I complained to my sister-in-law why she didn't call us and told us. My sister-in-law said she thought we were busy, so she didn't call, but she let him eat it after cooking. I asked the man if he left without saying a word after dinner, and his sister-in-law said yes. Based on this, I am more sure it is Shuanzhu.
Speaking of Zhao Shuanzhu, he is really a pitiful person. He has an elder brother and two sisters in the middle. He is a posthumous son and has no father as soon as he is born. It can be imagined how difficult it would be for a rural woman to raise four older children in the 1970s.
The children are grown up, and they are worried as mothers. The poor family and the courtyard are broken. The daughter is fine, but the son's marriage is difficult. He is helpless. Through the exchange of relatives, his mother used Zhao Shuanzhu's elder sister to exchange his brother for a daughter-in-law. For this reason, the conflict between mother and daughter has never been resolved. Later, although Zhao Shuanzhu was already past the age of marriage, his mother never dared to have such an idea again.
Zhao Shuanzhu is also a person with great destiny. Seeing my mother making trouble for her livelihood, Zhao Shuanzhu, who had not graduated from junior high school, went out to work and earn money. Shuanzhu, who was out for the first time, did not know that the world was dangerous. When he was young, he believed in the lie that "kind people" could make a lot of money. He was deceived into a black mine, and he worked hardest, ate the worst food, and was under inhuman control. The huge mining area was surrounded by high walls.
After Shuanzhu arrived, he witnessed the tragic consequences of those who failed to succeed. Someone told him that no one could escape alive before.
In despair, he thought many times that he was less than 20 years old and had my mother at home. Could it be that I was as tired as they did here? No, I have to try my best to escape, even if I am caught and beaten to death, I have to give it a try!
In the long torture, in that dark and inhuman land, Shuanzhu has survived for three years. In the past three years, he seemed to hear his mother calling in the distant home. This imagination also made his determination to escape more and more firmly. He did not miss any chance to run away. He tried many times but failed, and was almost discovered.
Once, the opportunity finally came. One late in the summer, it was raining heavily. A large truck was loading things and parked in the site at night. The truck was very close to the high wall, but the wall was too high, and even if it stood on the truck, it was still several meters apart. But this is definitely a good opportunity to escape. If you don’t run away, you will really die here.
Shuanzhu was thinking in his mind that he would fight for success or failure. Taking advantage of the inattention and taking the opportunity, he used a wooden stick as support and climbed up the wall with all his might. He didn't know what was outside the wall. He just slid down the wall based on his feelings. He fell into a puddle in a fright. Shuanzhu often played in the river since he was a child, and the water quality was not bad.
really had his own arrangements, which made him escape by chance. Shuanzhu crawled out of the water and ran away in the rain regardless of everything. I don’t know where my home is, so I had to run out aimlessly in one direction.
After a three and a half months of trek, he finally returned home. Shuanzhu, who was so hungry that he hugged his mother and cried. He told people that in order to go home alive, he did a lot of things that went against his wishes, such as stealing raw corn and beans from the farmland, and eating whatever he encountered. I also stole clothes that others had exposed in the yard.
Shuanzhu, who escaped from the tiger's mouth by chance, was no longer willing to go out. By chance, I entered the rubber products factory in our county and worked as a worker, where I became a colleague with my husband.
Shuanzhu is an honest person, working hard and has been praised by factory leaders many times.However, due to family conditions, personal problems have not been resolved. It was not until when he was 32 years old that someone introduced him to a woman from another place with a two-year-old girl, and Shuanzhu got married and got married. What is unexpected is that more than a month after he got married, his mother who had not had a good life passed away due to a recurrence of a heart attack.
Shuanzhu is close to my husband. His home is far away from the factory, so his husband often invites him to visit my house because my surname is Zhao. When it comes to generations, I still call him uncle. Shuanzhu joked that my husband is still his guest.
Although we are of the same age and have not changed our name because of this, we asked my son to call him grandpa. Because of this relationship, his relationship with his husband is even more strong.
I thought that the foreign woman who married Zhao Shuanzhu could give birth to another child for Shuanzhu, but they have been married for a few years and her belly still didn't move. Once when Shuanzhu followed her husband to our house again, I advised him to take his wife to the hospital for a look.
Shuanzhu said that his wife was with her ex-husband before and could not get pregnant again due to multiple miscarriages. He only found out later.
Shuanzhu chuckled helplessly and said, "Just have Xiao Ni, we love her. Can she be unfilial to us when she grows up?" This was really impressive in the remote and backward area of ours.
said this to Shuan Zhu about half a year later. One night in Qiu, my husband, who was always on time after get off work, did not come home at night at 10 o'clock. When he came back, he sighed with a bitter face. I asked what was wrong? My husband said that Shuanzhu was hit by a four-wheeler on the way off work!
My heart suddenly raised my throat and asked impatiently, what's going on? My husband said that he was still in in intensive care unit, and his head hit the ground at the time, which was probably difficult to deal with. I asked the driver again if he ran away? My husband said it would be useless if he didn't run away. People said that he didn't have money and he didn't want the car. He sold it and went to the hospital.
Two more days later, my husband told me that the factory donated money to Shuanzhu. He donated half of his monthly salary (one hundred yuan), saying that the debt we had lost when building a bungalow would be paid back until next month. He also said that the people in Shuanzhu Village and those near the village raised money for him.
My husband and I sighed, who would like to have such a thing? Later, I heard from my husband that Shuan Zhu's brain was gone, and one side of his head was a plastic shell installed. Shuanzhu also became a little stupid. The factory did not dare to let him go to work anymore (at that time, most factories had not paid accident insurance yet), and his wife also took Xiaoni away.
A car accident made his life see his head at a glance. A year after he got into my house, he first came to my house. At that time, my husband had left the rubber factory and went home to raise greenhouse meat duck . Shuanzhu's expression was really different from his before.
When eating, for the sake of affection, my husband washed the wine glass and called me to bring the wine. I gave my husband a wink. He suddenly realized and wanted to take the wine glass, but Shuanzhu grabbed the wine glass and shouted at me, "Get the wine!" Look, he is no longer the humble and polite Shuanzhu used to be. If he goes back drunk, how can we feel at ease?
Although Shuanzhu only let him drink less that time, my husband drove him back. Because we lost a lot of money to raise ducks, my husband went out to work. Shuanzhu still kept coming to my house, and every time I prepared a meal to entertain him. It can be seen that his intelligence is not as good as once. Once, we were having dinner at the table. My son got up and got a bun. Shuanzhu suddenly kicked the bench where my son was sitting to one side. When my son sat down, he fell down and turned his back. Fortunately, the bench was short. Otherwise, how serious the consequences would be like this fall.
Since then, my son hid from my mother-in-law’s place for dinner when he saw him coming. I know that Shuanzhu is not in charge of his family. Although he feels sorry for his son, he still has a good meal and travels through the county town and rides for 60 or 70 miles to see our Shuanzhu.
I don’t know if Shuanzhu usually eats enough food. Anyway, when he sees him eating, he eats it, pushes a bowl, says he leaves, rides his bike and rides fast.Looking at his departure back, I felt mixed feelings. In a flash, I have been working outside for more than ten years. During this period, I also heard from my neighbors that Shuanzhu had been to my house. The neighbor told him that we were working, so he did not go again.
Today, when I heard Shuanzhu go to our house again, I actually burst into tears and felt sour. By the way, since Shuanzhu was in a car accident, he got the nickname "Daigua". But we still insisted on calling him Shuanzhu.
