Mercury and Zongzhi Since childhood, I lived in the same village. There is a bamboo forest in the middle of the village. The terrain north of the bamboo forest is higher and the terrain south of the bamboo forest is lower, so everyone is accustomed to calling Gaotou Village, the bamboo forest, The one south of the country is called Xiatou Village. Whether it is Gaotou Village or Xiatou Village, everyone works and earns work points together. Mercury and Zongzhi talked with each other and didn't often have time to play together. Mercury knew that Zongzhi's family was in trouble. Zongzhi, who was determined to continue to go to school, was forced to be pulled down by his father when he was in junior high school, and his mother was helpless, and she was thin and tall. He and his mother earned work points and had to take care of their young brothers and sisters. Mercury felt a little distressed when she felt that this man could endure hardship. Zongzhi said a few words when she saw Mercury talking, but never talked much. The two of them were in contact. At most, the girls in the Zongzhi Cultivation Production Team may be literate and illiterate. He taught very seriously and she studied very seriously.
One day, the production team worked together. An older relative of Zongzhi joked, " Lao Dou , give your mercury to my Zongzhi?" Lao Dou and his wife like Zongzhi very much. After taking a look, he agreed, Zong Zhi's mother was also happy! From then on, Mercury and Zong Zhi never talked again when they met, but they became a little shy when they met. They were both 17 years old that year.
24-year-old Mercury and Zongzhi got married. At this time, both of their houses moved to the center of the village. As soon as the back door of Zongzhi's family opened, you can see Lao Dou's house. As soon as the door of Mercury's mother's house was opened, she was her in-law's house. Mercury has three younger brothers. When she got married, her younger brother was quite young. The younger brother went to Zongzhi's house for a banquet and went home crying and making noise. Why did the eldest sister not come back from Zongzhi's house, which made people laugh and cry.
Mercury motion sickness. After they got married, Zong Zhi took Mercury to Nanjing on a business trip. At that time, Zong Zhi was an accountant in the oil mill on the street. Some of the purchasing work in the oil mill needed Zong Zhi to take care of. This honeymoon trip was not a happy one, because mercury was so sick, so I could only go and go back quickly. This trip, Zongzhi gave the only gift of mercury - a long red scarf. Mercury later wrapped the scarf in Keeping warm on his head, Zongzhi felt that this wife was boring but a little cute. Later, the scarf wrapped her children and clothes and finally used it to tie a quilt.
Mercury is 1.53 meters, Zongzhi is 1.72 meters, and the height difference between the two people is much, so everyone calls Mercury "Small Sister-in-law", and Mercury is not angry either. Mercury always felt that the man she married was reliable, honest and kind. Zongzhi went out early and came back late at work, and Mercury was in charge of the work at home. She recognized someone and could tolerate other things for her, for example. She didn't hesitate to hide from Zongzhi and gave the third daughter she gave to someone else. Until they gave birth to a son, they had four daughters, and they were fined a lot. Zong Zhi also lost the opportunity to eat "planned grain" and returned to the countryside to live a hard life with one acre of three-point land. During the rainy night at , Zong Zhi developed eye disease in his early thirties. He found a lot of doctors and took a lot of Chinese medicine and could not treat it. I heard that a doctor in Nanjing could be treated with surgery, but my mother was worried that she would be completely blind if she was touched. Then let it go. The family can be described as "family despair". If Mercury and Zongzhi did not give birth to a son for the sake of "human words are fearful" in this life, they should have been smooth.
Zongzhi likes to drink some wine. A bottle of Feitian Yanghe can drink for three days. He sucks the wine in small sips every night. Sometimes he turns on the radio and drinks while listening to Storytelling , others can't speak, the child consciously serves him rice, and the mercury will wait silently. Such peace is rare. As the children grow up one by one, Zongzhi feels more and more stressed. In his diary, he wrote: The eldest son wants to go to a medical school, the second son and the few below have to go to school, and the tuition fee is not settled, but the children's education cannot be settled, and they must be allowed to go to the school even if they sell their money... That's true. Except for the third daughter who was adopted, he did do his best to support the rest of the children.When the second daughter was taking the junior high school entrance exam, her eldest daughter was in the medical school, and her younger daughter and son were also in elementary school. The pressure of life was so stressful that Zong Zhi couldn't breathe. Later, he kept saying sorry for his second daughter. If there was a way, he would definitely be The second daughter will not let her drop out of school to help other children's studies. Life is like a ring, connected by one another, and even if one mistake is connected, there will be imperfect flaws.
Around 2010, the third daughter went home to recognize her relatives. At this time, the eldest daughter and the second daughter had already gotten married and had children. The youngest daughter had graduated from college. Only the son was still in college. Mercury and Zongzhi were finally ready to go. Head down. At this time, the mercury was thin and small, but she worked quickly and was impatient. She always trotted when walking. Especially when the children came home, she always got up before dawn and cooked water to cook chickens and chopped meat. Although she gave birth to a child, she always got up before dawn. Many children are mothers of many children, but she is not a "capable" mother. Other mothers always bring small flowers and buckles to their shoes. The cloth shoes she prepares for the children are always black cloth with a large mouth. Shoes; other mothers can make dumplings and wontons for their children, and she always makes gnocchi and put some lard chopped green onions; other mothers can make children with very good braids , and she always asks her sister to give her sister Zha... Because she has too many things, she has to do it in the fields and at home. Those meticulous tasks that require mothers to distract themselves can only be solved quickly. Children can eat and wear warmth. Just live healthy. The short mother suffered too much in her life with her father who had eyes sick.
Zongzhi's eyes were cured later. It was led by his youngest daughter who married to Suzhou . The two sisters raised money for him to undergo surgery together. After his surgery and removed the stitches, his little daughter took him to the park to play. He was so happy that he looked like a child. He saw a flower that bloomed from the bottom to the branches and said it was magical. He saw the goldfish eating with his mouth wide open in the pond. I clapped my hands and let me see it. When I saw the billboard on the roof, I immediately read out the words and confirmed with pride with me. I didn’t have to turn my head back and smiled and said: Look, I’m walking in a straight line! When he returned to the village, he proudly told others that I could see Dafangtian and that I could see the windmills on the mountain... One day, someone in the village saw Zongzhi washing the toilet and joking: Oh, Brother Zongzhi, you are now It's really a meticulous job! Zongzhi didn't think it was a joke to him. He was proud. After decades of blurring, it finally became clear. He said to Mercury: Thank you so hard. You used to do all the work at home alone. Mercury doesn’t feel hard: it’s all for the children and for the family. After your eyes are well, you can do it all. The two of them laughed silently, and the years were quiet.
Ordinary people have ordinary dreams, naturally grow old, have a lot of children and grandchildren, have smooth family affairs, and be safe and happy... In 2017, Zongzhi and Mercury moved to the newly built new countryside. In less than a year, Zongzhi's father died of illness. This has been a child. The father who did not give him much care called Zongzhi before he passed away: Son, let’s go home, we will no longer be cured. This "son" made Zong Zhi cry out sobbing with sorrow that he cried out for his father. It seems that the family affairs were not going well since his father's death. A year later, Mercury almost paralyzed. His children and Mercury's brother both complained about Zongzhi. He started more housework after Mercury was discharged from the hospital and returned home. Later, his son in Yunnan told him that he owed more than 200,000 yuan for online loans because his son set Zong Zhi as an emergency contact person, and the debt collection phone calls were called one by one to his mobile phone. These intimidating phone calls He didn't know how much he accepted, and it was not until his son showed up to his sisters that his daughters knew about it. Although the daughters paid back the money for his younger brother, they were very angry about Mercury and Zongzhi's education of his son, so for a while The daughter also complained about the phone number she called her father, and he and Mercury silently endured all the complaints and never scolded their son.
When he was 67 years old, Zong Zhi was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. In the first two years of the diagnosis, he was just forgetful, always looking for things, and had hallucinations. He came to Suzhou for a recheck in his eyes, but got off the car in , Wuxi . My daughter hurried to Wuxi to find him after work. He sat in a small cafe. When the little daughter entered the door, she saw him lowering her head and holding her cell phone, and a chicken stretched out in a snakeskin bag on the ground. He stood up and looked around, and his daughter called him and looked up like a child who had made a mistake: It's so ugly, don't tell your mother when you look back, and it's causing you trouble again. The youngest daughter held back her tears and thanked the clerk. Zongzhi held her daughter's hand, very tight, and he never shook off the hand holding his children again. He has been saying in the past two years that his stomach is not good and he has to get up and defecate three or four times every night. His daughter takes him to do colonoscopy and without any problem. He still has to come to Suzhou for examination, and his younger daughter takes him to do it in Suzhou. Gastroscopy, general anesthesia woke up and kept saying sorry for her daughter, there was no problem with gastroscopy. Later, the eldest daughter told her sister that she would take her dad to see her brain. She ran in Suzhou, Nanjing and Hefei for more than half a year that year and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
Less than a year after the diagnosis, Zongzhi stopped knowing the children, and later he did not know his mother and Mercury. Now he is lying on the bed in the sanatorium and cannot take care of himself. He has become aphasia , and his daily life is the most common Reasonable by mercury. Mercury has serious sequelae after cerebral infarction. Her right half of her hands and feet cannot do fine work and have no strength. She is no longer the mother who trots and works, but now Zong Zhi’s meal is made by Mercury, the inflexible right hand. Come and hello.
Mercury often puts her face on Zong Zhi's face and sheds tears while talking. She has children all over the house. The old couple should be facing each other and they should bear it together. Now Zong Zhi is making a sound, and his dissipated look can no longer be seen If you have any response to Mercury, Mercury will be left alone to face it. The daughters looked at Mercury: Mom, you are the best woman in the world, and you can never find a second one.
Mercury is my mother, Zongzhi is my father, and I am their youngest daughter.
