This was probably the least appetizing meal for everyone, and no one was in the mood to eat it. After cleaning up, the Su family didn't feel sleepy at all.
Everyone sat in the yard and looked up at the sky above. It had been raining the past few days and the sky was dark at night, but today, for the first time in a long time, there were stars all over the sky.
Li Xiulian looked at the stars in the sky and murmured: "Do you think he turned into stars in the sky when he left us?"
"It must be." Wu Guixiang nodded firmly.
With her eyes swollen into walnuts, she pointed to the brightest star in the sky and said, "Look, that's the one."
?After death, people will turn into stars in the sky and always look at you in the sky. This sentence is actually used by many adults to coax children, but at this moment, they sincerely hope that this sentence is true. He really turned into a star in the sky and would always look at them and this land.
Su Qingyun sat next to Wu Guixiang and gently wiped her tears, "Mom, don't be sad."
Wu Guixiang looked at the brightest star in the sky and said softly: "Yunyun, your father and I are old. Older people seem to like to reminisce about the past."
"In the past, when I think about it now, I feel scared. When I was a child, there were four sisters in my family. We were all very close in age. I was the second oldest child, and my mother gave birth to four of our daughters. The family can’t hold their heads up at all.”
"When I was finally pregnant with my fourth child, the doctor said her belly looked like a boy. My father was very happy. The doctor said my mother was weak, so my father went to the city to buy some things for my mother to replenish her health. As a result, he was captured as a young man. He left and never came back, and I don’t know which battlefield he died on.”
The whole family was a little stunned when they listened to Wu Guixiang's story, because she had never said this before.
Wu Guixiang didn't know what was wrong with her. She didn't want to mention those difficult days before, but today, she just wanted to talk about it.
"After my father left, my grandma thought that my mother had defeated him, and she became even more unkind to her. When she was more than seven months pregnant with my fourth sister, my grandma even asked her to wash clothes in a cold pond. This hurt the body even more. My fourth sister was born prematurely and my mother had a heavy hemorrhage. She only had time to take a look at my fourth sister, but she was gone. Before she died, she discovered that my fourth sister was not a woman with a handle, and her eyes were not closed."
"Both my parents are gone, and my grandma has to take care of our four sisters by herself. She is getting older, so she has no choice but to give my fourth sister to someone else to raise. She also arranged for my eldest sister to get married in a hurry. After getting the gift money back, only the third child and I grew up together."
"When we were about the same age, my grandma sent me and the third child to the landlord's house to work as maids. The landlord's house had a stupid son who drooled all day long. His brain was worse than that of a two or three-year-old child. He was stupid. Forget it, he’s still a pervert. He thinks the third child is pretty, so he touches her all day long.”
"The third child was afraid that she would be beaten to death if she lost her job and returned home, so she kept silent and said nothing, not even me. Until finally, the fool attacked her again. When the two of them were pushing Sangsang, The third child was directly pushed into the well by that fool and disappeared. The fool’s father was afraid that things would be exposed, so he stuffed some oceans into me and kicked me out.”
"I went to sue the official, but that official was also a dog official. He had been bribed by the landlord a long time ago. It was obviously the fool who killed the third child, but in the end it turned out that the third child wanted to fly up a branch and become a phoenix, and wanted to climb the tree. She went to their house, so she went to seduce that fool, but he refused, and in the end she slipped and fell into the well and died, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"I couldn't do anything but go home. My grandma has been mean all her life, but when she looked at me, she cried so hard that she couldn't breathe. I knew she was also suffering in her heart. She had lost her husband in middle age all her life. I lost my son in old age, my daughter-in-law soon followed, and I was the only one left with four grandchildren. She suffered more than anyone else."
"Later, she seemed to be a different person and was kind to me. I know that she was afraid that she would lose me in the end. We, grandparents and grandchildren, began to depend on each other, trying hard to survive in this chaotic world. But if you think about it, you know, how can an old man or a young girl live a good life in that kind of world? It would be nice if they don't get bullied."
At that time, I felt that the world was too dark, and God was too blind. People of our background were worse than the ants on the ground. They could be trampled to death if they wanted to. It wouldn’t happen. No one cares, just like the sky at night, there is no light in the day. "
"I often hear the schoolchildren in the village clamoring about how to protect their country when they grow up, and the young people who have been studying for several years also say every day that the country is sick and must change. ?Only, I laughed in my heart, who can change? Who can change this society? No one."
"Later, no one expected that the bright light would actually come. Soldiers carrying guns came to rescue us one by one, and rescued us who were living in dire straits. I still remember the first batch of There was a teacher among the people who came to liberate our place. He stood at the entrance of our village, holding a charcoal pen on a large stone slab, and told us what a new society is and what a new life is."
"? People who are scared, want to believe it but can't believe it. Then I watched, the landlords were knocked down, the old society became a thing of the past, everyone stood up, no longer need to bow to anyone, my The third sister who died unjustly finally found her innocence."
"Later, I finally heard his name, saw his appearance, and knew that it was him who led us to stand up and led us to live a new life. There would no longer be landlords, and no one would be arrested. , and you don’t have to worry all day long about the shells falling from the sky.”
"I see that the days are getting better day by day. There is not a day in my heart that I am not grateful for. Those thoughts have affected all of us, so I want you to read more. Reading is always useful. This society needs scholars."
"We have all gone through the most difficult days, so people who have not experienced it can't imagine our feelings for him. People are born, old, sick and die, but this day has really come and he is gone, my heart is broken , also empty?"
"In my mind today, I have been thinking about the past over and over again, as if I have returned to that day, the day when so many people set foot on our land, and that gentleman told us about the new That day of life.”
