Changsheng really admires Grandma Fan. Being able to take this step at this age requires not only hard work, but also the courage to break through the world and be fearless.
Grandma Fan stared at Changsheng's eyes for a while to confirm that she was telling the truth, and couldn't help showing a proud expression.
"Hey, I know I'm very powerful. No old lady in our place dares to go out and play at this age. Either she takes care of her grandchildren at home, or she's waiting to die. Hey, I've brought up my own grandchildren, and...
Staying at home is really waiting to die. So before I die, I have to come out and see the outside world."
"By the way, speaking of this, I haven't told you how I came out."
Changsheng immediately acted like she was very interested, but in fact she was quite interested.
Seeing how curious she was, Grandma Fan showed a smiling expression and began to slowly recall the story of her coming out.
"The small village I live in is a small place that no one cares about. It's just that the population is more prosperous. When there are more people, there will be more miscellaneous things. My dad,
Although he is a scholar, if he has a gentler temperament, he will be bullied easily."
"Even if some people were originally afraid of him because of his reputation as a scholar, after discovering that he ignored his presumptions one or two times, they slowly started to blame him."
"It started with a few handfuls of vegetable seedlings and a few heads of garlic, and gradually turned into eggs, sesame oil, chickens, ducks, and land."
"I don't know if you have seen it, little girl. In our country families, those who are weak will always be bullied. My father is like that, because he has read a few books about sages and does not bother to argue with ordinary people. Maybe he feels that
As long as you tolerate a little or two, those people will stop. But, how could anyone be so self-conscious?"
"If I hadn't married my mother later, my father would have given up my family to others."
"But because they can no longer take advantage of my family, it gives them more reasons to talk for no reason. It's just that gods and ghosts are afraid of evil people, and my mother has a reputation for being evil, so those people gradually don't dare to do it. So, since childhood,
, I learned to appreciate the world in those story books like my father did, and I also learned my mother’s courage to fight against others.”
Thinking of that happy life as a woman, Grandma Fan smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face spread out. Thinking about it, it must have been a period of special nostalgia, enough to become the spiritual pillar of Grandma Fan's life for decades to come.
.
Patting Changsheng's hand, Granny Fan looked at a white cloud in the distance in the sky with a smile, as if she was looking at a life that she could never go back to.
"I have wanted to go outside since I was a child. I wanted to be the brave and fearless heroine in the story books. I would do justice and eliminate harm for the people. Whenever someone needed help, I would take action. At that time, my father gave me
I made a small wooden sword, it looks pretty. Just like, yes, just like you."
Chang Sheng originally wanted to deny it, but after seeing the fascinated look on Granny Fan's face, he still did not refute.
She didn't think she was the kind of person that Granny Fan yearned for, but at this time, Granny Fan thought she was, so she was.
"It was just a vow I made when I was young. How could adults take it seriously? So no one would help me. Later I discovered that I had made a mistake in placing my hope on others."
"Later, my parents grew old one by one, and I got married. I was busy being filial to my parents-in-law, taking care of my husband, and having children. It seemed like a lifetime, and it passed by like this."
"My parents are actually considered to have long lives. They both passed away a year before I left. It is said that they are one of the longest-lived people in our village in history."
"I don't know why, but when my parents were still alive, I always felt that it was still early and there were still days and it wasn't too late, so there was no need to worry. But when they passed away, I suddenly realized that this time was running out.
.When I feel anxious, when I hesitate, when I make excuses for myself, time just leaves little by little and never comes back."
"Look at my face and hands. They used to be smooth, but now they are full of wrinkles and spots."
Sighing with emotion, Granny Fan raised her hands in front of her eyes and looked at them carefully. They were a pair of weather-beaten hands. Although she had never done any farm work due to her family background, she had been doing housework for so many years, and there was no trace left anywhere.
Woolen cloth?
After so many years, even if you forget, time will remember it for you.
"When I was guarding the graves of my parents, I thought about it, and I couldn't remember anything in my previous life that I felt proud of. Looking at my life, it seemed boring."
"Tell me, I'm sixty-five this year, how many more years do I have left to live? If I don't come out and take a look while I can still move, I will probably regret it until I die!"
Granny Fan slapped her thigh, obviously remembering the unspeakable feeling of melancholy she felt when she recalled her short life.
Alas, am I going to live like this for the rest of my life? Her husband has died long ago, and her only son has already started a family and has even become a grandfather. At this time, in the eyes of most people, it seems that it is time for her to enjoy happiness, but she doesn't want to
ah.
That night, a slightly crazy plan emerged in her mind, and was perfected bit by bit. Granny Fan spent a whole year planning how to leave, which way to go to make it smoother, and which way to avoid it.
Dangerous areas and mountains.
On the day of her parents' anniversary ceremony, she finished paying homage to her parents, then carried a big package on her back and left under the cover of night.
The night was so quiet that she could only hear her rapid breathing and heartbeat. Grandma Fan did not dare to look back. She was obviously on a road she was very familiar with, but as soon as the sky darkened, it seemed as if many dangers were added out of thin air.
However, it was precisely because of such a silent night that she could continue to recall her previous life, and then become more determined in her direction!
The road after that was not smooth sailing. Granny Fan experienced natural and man-made disasters, encountered mudslides, encountered sudden swollen rivers, and encountered robbers. Perhaps because she was an old woman with little luck, after hearing about her goal,
The robbers not only let her go and showed her the way, but also gave her some dry food.
In short, it was only when she really walked on the road that Granny Fan realized what it means to read thousands of books rather than travel thousands of miles. Because only on the road can you truly appreciate the warmth and warmth of the real world.
Whenever she was extremely tired, Granny Fan would take a look at the direction of her home, and then she would suddenly feel courageous.
She was not walking alone, and her parents, who had always wanted to come out and take a look but had no time, were there, so she never thought of giving up.
