But I can understand what the fat man said about my second uncle's problem. Now anyone with a discerning eye can see my second uncle's problem, but what is my mother's problem? Because she has been pretending to be stupid for more than 20 years, and then all of a sudden today
epiphany
What happened to my mother? Tell me. I said to the fat man.
Fatty, I'm telling the truth, don't feel bad, no matter how I look at you, I still look at your mother, she doesn't look like a person. The fat man looked at me and said.
Not like anyone else, I wondered.
Who am I? I am not like a human being, said the fat man.
I immediately covered his mouth and said: That's the end of the matter. I don't want to hear it anymore because the more I listen, the more frightened I become. If my second uncle used to be the most mysterious person in my family, his mystery lies in his
From his background, his demeanor does not seem to belong to someone who can stay at Linjiazhuang with peace of mind. I have no way of knowing what the purpose of his coming to Linjiazhuang is, but I know sensitively that he must have come with a certain purpose.
But my mother made a reversal today that makes my head still dizzy just thinking about it.
Twenty-three years ago, my father bought my mother back for 300 yuan. At that time, 300 yuan was an astonishing amount, almost all the family's savings, but this was also a relative term.
I once said that my mother was demented when she bought it. But when my father bought her a new set of clothes and returned to the village, half the people in the village were drooling. This shows that my mother is
An extremely beautiful and dignified person, very much like the kind of lady on TV during the Republic of China period.
But when everyone coveted my mother’s beauty and envied my father, they would say sour grapes if they couldn’t eat them: He’s good-looking but he’s a fool. Even for a long time, I thought
The topic of going to college is quite inspiring in several surrounding villages. People will say, look at my mother, she is a fool, and her children can all go to college. I am not stupid or stupid, why are my children so unsatisfactory?
I have said so much, I can sum it up with a heart-wrenching sentence.
A beautiful but stupid woman, in the market price 23 years ago, three hundred yuan was a lot, really a lot. My father was quite handsome when he was young, and he was not the kind of man who couldn't get a wife.
At that time, looks and hard work were the only criteria for judging men. Girls were not that realistic yet. However, both looks and hard work were shared by their fathers. Therefore, many people at that time did not understand that my father, Lin Yutang, could not find any woman.
I arrived, but I found a fool and spent three hundred yuan.
My mother's beauty is not only worth three hundred, but because she is a fool, it can only be worth three hundred.
I have always thought this way. I have thought about this problem many times since I was a child. If my mother was not stupid, my father would never have been able to afford her because of her appearance and personality.
However, my vision became a reality at this time, and I found that I still couldn't answer this question.
Why was a beautiful and not stupid woman bought home by her father for 300 yuan?
Twenty-three years ago, the folk customs were relatively simple, but I also heard that there was a phenomenon of buying and selling people at that time. But now I see my mother, not only is she not stupid, but she is also quite smart.
If she was abducted by human traffickers at that time and was forced to come to our village, then why can she be so quiet for more than 20 years and let everyone, even her own son, think she is a fool without ever speaking out to defend herself?
I suddenly discovered that the biggest mystery in our family is not my second uncle, but my mother. I only know that she was bought for 300 yuan, but I don’t know her past. How can she pretend to be crazy and act like a fool in Linjiazhuang?
More than twenty years
When I think about this, I feel extremely cold. I can't see through my second uncle. I don't know if I dare to believe it. It doesn't matter. He is an outsider. No matter how he integrates into my life, it will take time. But what about my mother?
Someone I had known for more than 20 years suddenly overturned all my impressions of her.
At this moment, I, Lin Xiaofan, suddenly realized that I no longer recognized my own mother.
But this is my mother, and I am happy that she can suddenly become normal, so I don't want to hear the fat man talk about her problems. How can I put it, this is self-deception of my own choice.
Go and see my second uncle. I said to the fat man.
The fat man has a delicate heart. He knew the choice I made when I covered his mouth. He glanced at me and said nothing. The two of us walked out of the door together and went straight to the threshing floor.
, went to see my second uncle and see what he was going to do again.
Before we reached the threshing floor, we saw the staggering figure of our second uncle walking over. When he saw us, he said in a deep voice: Let's go back.
After saying this, his whole body collapsed.
At this moment, the fat man looked up and saw the two bright moons in the sky gradually merging into one, and he breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, I still don’t know what happened tonight, but seeing the fat man’s expression made me feel relaxed.
Come down.
Is it finally over?
We helped our second uncle back home. When we got home, we saw my grandma. She was being supported by Lin Xiaoyao. Her eyes were red and dull. Too many things had happened in such a period of time, which made this originally very special place.
The shrewd old man cried and dried up his tears. Grandma originally had no feelings for the second uncle. She usually just acquiesced to his existence in this house, but never talked to him. At this time, she saw the second uncle who was carried back by me and the fat man.
Uncle, grandma said: Xiaofan, your second uncle
I just fainted, nothing will happen. I said to grandma with red eyes.
Overnight, two men fell asleep in my house, which was a disaster for a family.
At this time, the people at home seem busy, but they have no idea what they are busy with. If it is an ordinary patient who faints, he must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible. But in this case, we don’t even know what they have gone through.
If you know, how can you prescribe the right medicine?
The father cannot be alarmed.
Second uncle fainted, when will he wake up?
It's getting late, so go to bed when it's time to go to bed. The sky is falling. We, the old Lin family, can't stand it. Grandma suddenly speaks at this time, and there is no room for anyone to question her.
I didn't want to go against the intention of this old man who was pretending to be strong now. Even though such a big thing happened now, we each went back to our rooms and looked at my second uncle who was lying next to me, furious, and my father who was hanging on by a thread next door.
, I, a college student in the eyes of the villagers, was completely panicked. Unknowingly, I fell asleep holding my head.
That night, I had another dream. I dreamed that my grandfather was kneeling at the door of my house. No matter how I talked to him, he would not raise his head. He was wearing a dark green and white shroud.
Kneeling at the door and sobbing softly.
When I woke up from my dream, I opened my eyes and saw my second uncle looking at me with his eyes open. I said: "Second uncle, when did you wake up?"
Just now, the second uncle straightened up.
There was silence all of a sudden. I had thousands of words to ask, but I couldn't open my mouth when my second uncle was at his weakest.
Xiaofan, I know that you must have a lot of doubts about me, and I do hide many things from you. It’s not time to talk about it yet, but there is one sentence, I have never thought about harming the Lin family, your grandfather’s
Death is related to me, but it is definitely not what I want. The second uncle said slowly.
It's okay, you need to take good care of yourself first. When I heard him say this, I felt deeply helpless.
In fact, last night, your dad was destined to die. Whether he could wake up or not was not certain. The second uncle said.
Second uncle, I don’t want to talk about this now. What I regret most now is why I didn’t listen to my grandfather’s advice and why I didn’t move out of Linjiazhuang. If I had left earlier, nothing would happen to you and my dad. I whispered
said.
You can't avoid it. This is a debt that must always be repaid. My second uncle said to me quietly.
This is debt, this is God's will, and this is fate. These three sentences are the most disappointing words I have ever heard in my life. After all, someone like Mao Taizu can express the soul-stirring joy of fighting against heaven, earth, earth and man.
