After getting angry in front of her children, Wang Yunlin felt increasingly uncomfortable.
After entering the kitchen, her tears kept flowing down uncontrollably and she couldn't cook at all, so she claimed that she was blinded by the gray and took her daughter out.
To be honest, she couldn't help crying because she couldn't express the pain in her heart to anyone, not even her husband or her own daughter.
Wang Yunlin was actually born into a family of bannermen nobles. The elders in the family started their careers in martial arts, and their values are "bravery, diligence, and tireless ambition."
Naturally, the spirit of the ancestors hopes to be passed down from generation to generation without losing shape or degeneration, and it is best to carry it forward forever. Therefore, her family motto has always been to cultivate people with martial arts and establish others with the word "strictness".
Her father passed away early, and her mother had been solely responsible for the family since she was a child. Due to the turmoil in the late Qing Dynasty, the status of the bannermen plummeted. Her mother once focused on maintaining her livelihood, which also caused her brother Yuntai to lose control.
Became extremely naughty.
But her mother is also a rigid wife of the Banner clan. She believes in educating her children strictly and according to the rules, and is a firm executor of the family's discipline.
So when the time came, this Banner clan wife still used all kinds of means to force her son to wrestle, practice martial arts, and study like his ancestors. She even spent a lot of money to hire a famous teacher for him, and even sent him to prison in an enlightened way.
Foreign school.
These were not useless efforts. In the end, Yuntai was cultivated into a man who was versatile in civil and military affairs and capable of doing things. With the decline of the Qing Dynasty, he was not allowed to degenerate into a man who only knew how to carry a cage and support an eagle.
, Mr. Qi, who lives in a drunken life and dreams, and is obsessed with life and money.
Someone once said that the kind of education a person received when he was young will determine the method he will use to educate his children.
At the same time, logically speaking, parents' values and temperament will inevitably be passed on to their children in part, completely, or even intensified.
So after she became a mother, this educational concept that had been subtly integrated into her blood made her follow the same example when it came to treating her children.
She never coddled her children, "You must be strict with your children when they are young, and love them without mercy when you are strong." Even when the Hong family was prosperous, she paid great attention to cultivating her children's tenacious endurance and hard-working spirit, and did not focus on material life.
Provide children with a lot of enjoyment.
For example, her eldest son and her second son both wore children's clothes made from the old servants' clothes of the Hong family after they were born. Apart from the New Year's Day, there were few extra satisfactions in food. Once she had a headache or fever, she would
Taking medicine and seeing a doctor, the rest of the special care is just making a bowl of lotus root starch.
And after the children drank lotus root powder, they knew that their illness should be cured, and there was no need to lie down anymore. Otherwise, if they continued to act coquettishly, they would be severely blamed and punished.
In this way, she has been strictly adhering to the same strict discipline methods as her mother, believing that the less indulgent and less important she is to her children, the more likely they will be strong and live a long life with good character.
It's a pity that she couldn't stick to this plan and couldn't apply it to her third son Hong Yanwu.
Hong Yanwu loved to fool around outside since she was a child, and all kinds of anecdotes were constantly spread to her home. However, she was extremely partial to this trouble-loving third child, and she regarded him as her best friend.
Unlike her treatment of her first two sons, since she was a child, no matter how much trouble Hong Yanwu caused, she had never investigated him to the end. But in the end, she acted as a mediator like a protector, forcing her husband to tolerate and tolerate him.
And afterwards, she would often hold Hong Yanwu in her arms, pat, coax, and be affectionate with her. This kind of overly affectionate behavior made Hong Yanwu more stern with her than Hong Yanwen's two sons were.
It's a completely different side.
For this reason, not only did her two sons have some grudges in their hearts, but her husband also asked her doubtfully, "Why do you treat your third son so differently from the other two sons?"
She remembered her answer.
"How is the third child the same as the two of them? I was so desperate when I gave birth to him. The little man almost lost his life. What's more, as soon as he was born, it was the beginning of the year of great disaster. The child had little food and water.
Yes, as a mother, how can I not be a little more sympathetic?"
Yes, this is the main reason why she prefers Hong Yanwu.
In her opinion, compared with the eldest and second child, the third child was born at a really bad time and was really unlucky.
Before the full moon, her husband would often cry at night because of the child, complaining that the third child had a bad temper and was difficult to feed, but she knew in her heart that her son's crying was entirely because he didn't have enough to eat.
In fact, this was fully proven from any aspect later on. Her third child was a child with congenital deficiencies and acquired disorders.
He is almost one year old and can’t crawl yet. He has a thin neck, a big head, and two small bow legs. He grabs everything and stuffs it into his mouth, and even chews a cabbage leaf with relish. He is different from those two normal years.
Compared to my elder brother, he is at least one size smaller in stature. It is said to be due to calcium deficiency.
Therefore, she could only make up for her losses internally, and loved her thin little son very much.
In addition, there are actually more reasons, but they are not convenient for her to tell even in front of her family.
For example, most of the children in the Hong family have their own unique characteristics.
The eldest child loves learning and likes to delve into research. The second child is talented, intelligent and ambitious. The daughter is gentle, considerate and ingenious.
But Hong Yanwu was the only one who not only had no merit, but also had an appearance like an old Japanese melon. When he spoke, his facial features moved out of place, and he jumped up and down without a moment's peace.
Therefore, he became the child least favored by his father.
Seeing this as a mother, she could not help but feel sorry for her son for being born like this, and she would also want to make up for it emotionally.
In addition, even if Hong Yanwu acts unscrupulously, it is not that he does not care about his appearance and does not cherish his close relatives. When he was a child, in order to protect his sister, he had many fights with the wild boys in this street.
Even in a certain aspect, he is the one who understands people's hearts best and knows how to feel pain and warmth.
This was not just something she said in vain. One time, the three of them had dinner at noon. She made noodles and made poached eggs from all three eggs at home.
When the noodles came out of the pot, she specially put an egg in Hong Yanwu's bowl and two eggs in Hong Yanru's bowl. Since she had to do other things, she temporarily put a bowl of clear soup noodles on the table.
Hang to dry.
When she came back to eat noodles, she met Hong Yanwu who had finished the last few mouthfuls of noodles and went out to play. When she picked up the bowl again, she found a whole poached egg buried at the bottom of the bowl.
Just when she was surprised, her daughter actually told her that Hong Yanwu put his own into the poached egg in the bowl...
Another time, I caught up with a grocery store selling processed leeks, and my second son, Hong Yanwen, bought a huge bundle for the family. So most of the family suggested that we just make pies for dinner, otherwise the leeks would rot.
But just when she was about to bake the pie, Hong Yanwu was the only one who openly objected, saying that if he couldn't eat pie today, he would have to change the dough to braised noodles. He also stubbornly asked for 20 cents to go.
Buy yellow flowers and sea rice from the grocery store, and then marinate them later.
The whole family thought that the child was deliberately looking for trouble and was greedy, so they scolded him one by one without listening to the reason. However, they did not expect that the third child persisted until the end, but became anxious and finally started shouting that he had been wronged.
"You have all forgotten that today is my mother's birthday! Every year when my mother celebrates her birthday, she has to choose a birthday!"
To be honest, she really didn't expect that her son was the only one in the family who still remembered her birthday.
On that day, even she herself had forgotten...
In addition to the above, she also encountered a particularly strange thing the year she was pregnant with Hong Yanwu. This incident even made her feel that everything was destined, and that Hong Yanwu was the son deliberately given to her by God.
.
Speaking of which, it was just a few years after the Hong family moved from their old house to Fulu. As the entire Guanyin Temple had been gradually converted into residential buildings, some of the temple's old items were being cleared out, and some were temporarily piled in the courtyard.
in the open space.
For example, in the empty space of the east courtyard, there is a large incense burner for burning incense, and a pair of bronze statues of a boy and a girl that were originally placed next to the Guanyin statue in the main hall.
However, one night, when she got up in the middle of the night, she inadvertently noticed a red light flashing outside the window.
At that time, she raised the curtains and looked outside. Unexpectedly, she saw a little man in red clothes wandering around the bronze statue of the boy. He had two hairdos on his bald head. His cheerful and wealthy appearance was exactly the same as the bronze statue.
.
But when she rubbed her eyes again to see more clearly, she didn't expect that the little man just smiled at her and then disappeared underground.
As a result, within a month, she found out that she was pregnant.
But when she told her husband about this, Hong Lucheng thought it was even ridiculous. Not only did he say it was superstitious, but he also said that because he was born on the fifth day of the first lunar month, he had no idea how many people came to visit the Hong family.
Congratulations, it must be said that the Hong family has given birth to a "Five Manifestations of Wealth God".
Fortunately, his father was a wise man. Not only did he not believe the compliment, he also ordered his family not to talk about his birthday in the future. It was this wise and indifferent treatment that ensured that he could have a calm and ordinary childhood.
, and did not let him be ruined by this matter.
What her husband said was indeed reasonable, and she didn't understand it, so she never mentioned it again.
But on the other hand, women are born to love fantasy, and Guanyin Temple itself is a place where children are sought, so this does not prevent her from believing to a certain extent that this son is actually the boy serving beside Master Guanyin.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the above reasons that she got used to Hong Yanwu's wretched temper and became an outlier among the children of the Hong family.
From a certain perspective, perhaps it was her doting that ruined this extremely smart child.
She knew this very well in her heart. That's why she asked Master Yu to accept Hong Yanwu as her disciple. This was simply because she wanted to imitate what her mother did back then, and she wanted a good and stern master to correct her.
son.
But unexpectedly, he encountered such a chaotic world, and his son finally walked onto the door leading to the prison with a broken body, and his wrestling skills became his capital for fighting fiercely.
I think back then, her husband had already said, "Just get used to it. Sooner or later you will be the one who hurt him." Unexpectedly, this sentence turned out to be a prophecy, and it was fully verified in the end.
This naturally made her feel really guilty. She had reflected on herself and complained about herself countless times. She also made up her mind that she would never let Hong Yanwu go, and that she would give her son a good lesson when he came back.
Just like in the Peking Opera "Silang Visits His Mother", Yang Yanhui's marriage to a foreign country is tantamount to surrendering to the enemy and treason. Although he tried every possible means to come back to visit his mother, when the mother and son recognized each other, they still got a big slap in the face - they must not be made because of family affection.
All right and wrong become unclear, this truth should always be remembered!
Although the principle is clear, how difficult is it to do it yourself?
Just like today, when she saw her son, her heart softened unconsciously. She couldn't hate him for the trouble he had caused. Not only could she not slap him, but she could not even say harsh words.
In fact, she knew that in her own heart, she was still approving of this third child who was partial to sex but not pornographic.
No matter how unsatisfactory Hong Yanwu is, no matter how incompetent he is, he is still a part of the Hong family. His aura is connected with the whole family and can never be separated.
What's more, she never thought in her heart that the little man in red clothes beside Guanyin would come to punish their family in this life.
She firmly believes that if this son can understand her mother's heart, he will definitely learn from it...
Just when Wang Yunlin was randomly wiping tears from her face, the sound of two people's footsteps "Teng, Teng" came from the small courtyard.
She couldn't help but look up outside the kitchen and found that it was Lao Bian's wife leading a police comrade in blue clothes to her door.
This made her feel confused immediately. She thought the police station was coming to arrest her son, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
