Every February and March is the most beautiful time in Xinghua Village. The ten-mile apricot blossom forest is full of pink and white apricot blossoms, making people feel like they are living in a painting.
It is in this season. In addition to seeing the beauty of apricot blossoms, there are also the curling smoke in the fields. It is the withered grass in the fields when people plant crops. In that era, they like to burn some grass in the fields and then mix it with the soil in the fields. It is said that this can make the crops grow lush, which is also passed down by the farmers in the village from generation to generation.
My father has three brothers, and my father is the second, and there is an older brother above, a younger brother below, and three sisters. My eldest aunt married in Xinghua Village. My second aunt and my third aunt used to work with others, but never came back again.
My father had a very bad temper and was very angry. When he was young, we were beaten a lot by his father. My mother was a girl from the next village. My father was twelve years older than my mother. In that era, my grandparents’ family conditions were not good, and it was all due to fate that my mother could fall in love with her father.
Because my father is handsome and my mother is fat, maybe it is because of this reason that my mother fell in love with her father. Love in that era was very simple. My parents' orders and matchmakers' words. As long as they think everyone is suitable, they will be together.
At that time, my grandparents' house was still the same kind of adobe house, with very small space. After my mother married my father, she still squeezed into the adobe house with her grandparents. Fortunately, my uncle got married in front of my father. After the marriage, my grandparents distributed part of the land to my uncle. Through my uncle's hard work, my uncle's house built the house by himself.
If the uncle's family had not moved out of his grandparents' house in advance, the father would not even have a wedding room when he went to his mother. After the father married his mother, he would ask his grandparents to separate the family. For fairness, the grandparents would also like to divide the land for the uncle. Anyway, give some fertile land and some barren land.
After the land, my father and mother began to take care of their own lives. Because they had just split up, they had no money. In order not to squeeze with their grandparents, my father asked the villagers to build four adobe houses with clay on the divided private land.
I was born in an adobe house. At home, my father has the final say in everything. Because my father is stronger, my mother basically has no say at home.
Once, the Zhao family in the village occupied a little land boundary of my family. My mother is a relatively easy-to-talk person. Originally, my mother planned to just forget it. After all, they are all acquaintances and neighbors.
But my father didn't think so. My father felt that the more neighbors he was, the more he could not do so. Brothers, settle the accounts clearly and must ask for an explanation.
So my father with a bad temper went to find Dayong. Dayong was also an unreasonable person and said to his father, "You said it is your land, do you have a basis?"
In those days, he did not rely on self-consciousness, but at most he used a few stones to make the boundary. There was no clear place. If others moved it casually, they would not know where the boundary was. It was just that the land that they often planted must have a clear mind.
When my father heard this, he didn't say anything at that time. Not long after, my father moved the boundary of my home one meter to the Dayong's house. This was too obvious.
Dayong was very angry and came to trouble his father and said, "Erzhu, you did too much. Is there anyone like you? Look, how much territory have you occupied for my family!"
father ignored him and just said, "Do you have evidence? How can it prove that it is your family's territory?"
dayong was furious after hearing this sentence and directly fought with his father. Seeing this, his mother hurried over to dissuade him, but in the end she couldn't hold her father back.
My father beat Dayong hard. Dayong, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, was no match for his father. Dayong refused to give up because he was beaten so much that he called the young people in the family. His father was not easy to mess with, and he also called our young families.
Because there are many people with each other, no one dares to act rashly, but they just fight each other. In this way, this matter was left unresolved. From then on, Dayong no longer dares to occupy my land easily.
The father finally restored the territory himself and did not occupy the Dayong family's, but his own ones were definitely not allowed to be occupied by others. Although his father had a bad temper, he was still a reasonable person.
I remember when I was about ten years old, my third uncle came back from a coastal city and brought a black and white camera. At that time, this thing was a very strange thing.
Our family asked Uncle San to take a lot of photos. Later, the grandparents were worried that Uncle San would not say that he would not be able to say that his wife, so they would not let Uncle San go out to work.
The grandparents behind him asked a matchmaker to tell the third uncle a marriage. The girl is from the town and is named Meizi. Meizi is very beautiful and tall, and her family conditions are better than ours. Is it just like a sky and a ground?
In those days, our family ate corn, others ate rice, and others ate bacon during the Chinese New Year, so we can only watch it.
But Meizi likes her third uncle, who falls in love at first sight. After dating her third uncle, she gets married. However, there is one bad thing about her third aunt Meizi, that is, she is very good to her mother's family, but she doesn't care about her grandparents at all.
After Uncle San and Aunt San got married, Uncle San went out to work and handed over all the money earned from working to Aunt San. Except for his sisters to repair the house, Aunt San used the rest of the money he had done for him. Originally, this was also a family matter. To put it bluntly, it is not surprising how to use the money.
But one year, when my grandfather got sick, my father consulted with my uncle and third uncle. Everyone paid for my grandfather to see my grandfather, but my aunt was not happy. The reason was very simple. I did not get the benefits of my grandfather and grandma.
This is the case. After Aunt San married Uncle San, she went back to her parents' home. Aunt San's mother gave Aunt San a piece of land and asked Aunt San to repair the house in the town, but the house only has the right to use. If it is demolished in the future, it will have to share the money for Aunt San's brothers.
Uncle San is an honest person. Without saying anything, he gave all the money he earned to Aunt San and built a house in the town. So over the years, Aunt San has lived in her parents' home. Later, Aunt San gave birth to a son and a daughter, and basically her parents took care of her.
is actually not because my grandparents don’t take care of them, but because they are too far away in the town, they are powerless. Because of this reason, Aunt San is unwilling to pay.
My father is a bad temper. Seeing that Aunt San didn't take the money, he said, "If you don't take the money, are you not a member of our family? Can I understand this way? Then please give up the land given to you by your parents so that you can stop paying the money."
Aunt San immediately said, "Why, why should I let the land come out? You three brothers, it's not only you and your elder brother."
Aunt San immediately said, "Since you all admit that we are the third brothers, then my father is sick, shouldn't you give it?"
Although my father was right, but Aunt San was unreasonable. His father slapped Aunt San several times in the face. It was these slaps that made my family and Aunt San's family very stiff.
My father and uncle almost fought for the third aunt's affairs. Fortunately, everyone calmed down later and there was no conflict.
In the end, my father was angry and did not ask my uncle and third uncle to pay the money. Instead, he paid the money to send his grandfather to the hospital in the county town. In the end, after his grandfather's illness was cured, his grandfather was also very nice to his father, after all, he felt that his father was very filial. My father, who was born in
, worked as a contractor in the city and made a lot of money, and our family's life has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
But Aunt San and Uncle San divorced. The reasons are complicated. However, one thing is certain that Uncle San can't stand Aunt San and everything is only considered for his family.
Afterwards, the third aunt remarried several times, but they all divorced in the end and did not end up well!
The novel ends here.
Finally, I would like to encourage you with one sentence.
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.
