Every year when apricot blossoms bloom, I always sit under the apricot blossom tree , looking at the red and pink apricot blossoms, although I feel very melancholy, but I can also feel the true meaning of life, let the spring breeze blow through my face and feel the warmth that I have never had before. It is a very natural and very enjoyable time.
I like apricot blossoms very much, not only because my family is from Xinghua Village, but more because of the apricot blossoms that I feel warm and a kind of family affection I have never had before.
My name is Xingzi. In this village, my family's conditions are very difficult. Because my father married to Xinghua Village with his grandmother, so when his father came, he was not favored by his stepfather at all. His stepfather had two sons, and his grandmother and his father's stepfather gave birth to a daughter.
Although my grandmother was concerned, my father still assigned some land, but it was all barren land. Most of the good land was distributed to his biological son by his father's stepfather. This is the so-called close relationship. Later, my father did not get a house, but asked the villagers to help build a dirt wall house with clay.
At that time, my father had already started a family. My mother was from another province and I don’t know how she came to this village. I heard that she was abducted and trafficked, some people said she fled to the famine, and some people said that my mother had some disgraceful experiences before, but I had no impression of her.
Because when I was very young, my mother left the village because her father's family was very poor. After so many years, I have never seen my mother.
My father is the only daughter, and my grandmother also wants to find another one for my father, but the village says that it is not that easy to be a wife. People dislike his father, dislike him for being incompetent, and dislike him for being poor. After a long time, my father also feels it doesn’t matter, and it’s good to live with me alone.
It was probably a winter in the 1990s. Grandma closed her eyes forever and left the world. Her father buried her grandma under an apricot tree, hoping that her grandma would bloom like an apricot flower in the next life.
The apricot blossom tree is the hope of my father and I. We all hope that our future will be as fragrant and brilliant as the apricot blossom tree, and we also hope that it will be as sour and sweet as the apricot.
After grandma passed away, my father's stepfather also left a few years ago, but my father was not as sad as when grandma passed away. After all, my father's stepfather was not good to my father at all. After my father's stepfather left, our family had no contact with my father's stepfather, that is, my two uncles, after all, there was no blood relationship.
It was probably in the late 1990s that people in the village were building a large-scale construction, and every family was building a house, as if building a house had become a comparison. In that era, there was no frame house, and after the mountain was opened, they went to the foundation and lay bricks on the stones. In order to make money, my father went to move stones to the people who built the house in the village to make the foundation.
But on a way to the mountain, the explosives didn't sound. My father thought it wasn't lit, so he went to see it. After a while, the explosives rang, and my father left the world forever. I saw my father's bloody scene and felt very heartbroken. I cried heartbrokenly, and I felt at a loss.
The people in the village saw that I was pitiful and gave me advice to ask me to take out the money saved by my father and buy a coffin for my father. After all, I was young and didn’t know what to do, so I had to do as I did and gave all the money to the people in the village. As a result, after the people in the village buried my father, my stay or not became a problem.
I originally didn't like those two uncles, after all, they had no blood relationship with them, but I really couldn't find a place to go, so I went to the house of the two uncles, but both uncles didn't like me, saying that I was stingy and had no brains, so I gave my father's money to the villagers, and wanted to come to their house to survive, but there was no door.
Just like that, I was kicked out by those two uncles. Fortunately, there was still some food at home before, and I didn’t go to the place I had to go back home and live with my willpower. Without coal, I went to the mountains to pick up firewood. No matter what, I still supported myself.
I leaned on my hands and planted some land, but if you don’t have money, the villagers won’t help you at all. Rather than not helping, they are powerless. After all, in that era, everyone’s burden was heavy.
I don’t have cattle and can’t plow the land. I plant crops with a bamboo stick and then throw corn seeds into the land. Fortunately, God still favors me very much, and my grain still has a harvest.
There is a bachelor in the village who looks like he is in his forties, named Dazhu. Once, I remember it was October, and it was the season for corn harvesting. I carried a basket to the field, carried the corn, and then prepared to carry it home. Because I was young and had little strength, I fell and fought as soon as I carried it.
happened to meet Erzhu. Without saying a word, Erzhu immediately carried the corn home for me and came to my house. Erzhu also looked at what I usually eat. He saw the potatoes I cooked, and then the corn that was not ground, Erzhu's eyes became wet and said to me, "Apricot, you usually eat this!"
I remained silent, lowered my head, and nodded.
Erzhu touched my head and said, "Xingzi, would you like to live with me?"
When I heard this, I was stunned. I didn't say anything, but just kept pulling my ragged clothes!
Erzhu said, "I mean I have no children, I am single, why don't you be my goddaughter, I will be your godfather! Then you move to my place, and our two families are not far away anyway. When you want to go home, you come back, I will plant the crops!"
I thought I was very pitiful, so I recognized Erzhu as my godfather. Erzhu was very nice to me and sent me to study. Compared to my two uncles, Erzhu was a good person, but the two uncles were still talking behind their backs, saying that Erzhu was uneasy and said that I was a child bride.
Godfather Erzhu also heard these rumors, but he didn't care, but silently gave me, provided me with my studies, bought me new clothes, made delicious food, and sometimes I also helped grow crops.
Some people think that the godfather Erzhu's efforts are not worth it, but the godfather thinks everything is worth it. The godfather interprets what love is with his life. With the careful training of his godfather, I was admitted to a key high school in the city. In order to prevent me from worrying about tuition, my godfather went to work on a construction site in the city. After
, I realized that my godfather often worked over night for me and ate a few steamed buns every day. It was told by the worker of the village who followed him to tell me that after I knew it, I cried all night and swore that I must let my godfather live a good life in the future.
For me, my godfather was only in his fifties, but he looked like he was in his sixties. Later, I was admitted to university, bought a house in the city after graduation, and married a leader's son. It was also the kindness of heaven. Later, I took my godfather to live in the city.
also specially hired a nanny. At that time, my godfather asked me to leave, saying that I had hands and feet and could take good care of myself. However, under the persuasion of my husband and I, my godfather still asked the nanny to come. Maybe this is fate. The nanny is called Wu Ma. Her husband passed away and she is also single. The two may have some painful experiences. They both think that they are good to each other. In this way, Wu Ma and her godfather fell in love. They were at their age, and they didn't expect to be together.
or I saw the clues and promoted my marriage with them. My husband and I held a wedding for them. From then on, our family lived a happy life. Sometimes, I would come to the village to reminisce about the past, maybe to visit, and more to tell my deceased relatives, tell them that I am living a good life now, and tell them that it was my godfather who changed my life!
The novel ends here!
Finally, I would like to encourage you in one paragraph.
People do good, but even though blessings have not arrived, misfortune has been away; people do evil, but even if disasters have not arrived, blessings have been away.
As long as you are dedicated to goodness, you will always have blessings. As the saying goes, sow such causes and harvest such results.
