Tie Jun and Chu Yao came to the big market not far from home. There were quite a few people there. Tie Jun took Chu Yao to his aunt's stall first.
My aunt has a disabled leg and was divorced once. She was introduced to her ex-husband by Lao Tie, Lao Wang, who burned the boiler. He was a very nice and honest man.
After the marriage, the two fell in love with each other and lived a prosperous and happy life.
My aunt is very capable and raises more than a dozen pigs. She kills the pigs at Tie's house every Chinese New Year, which is also the happiest time for the children.
On that day, there were enough pork tubes, big fat meat, and pig intestines, which were so delicious that Tie Jun and the others were all filled with oil from their little mouths.
But this kind of good life suddenly disappeared five years later as my aunt's belly continued to shrink.
After taking large packets of traditional Chinese medicine, my aunt's stomach was not bulging, but her face was getting red and swollen day by day, and the old bachelor began to move his hands.
As soon as my aunt was beaten, she would go to Tie's house to cry to her sister, and Lao Tie would put on his clothes and go and kill the drunk Lao Wang.
People at that time were also stubborn and refused to give in. Instead, they beat her more and more fiercely. In the end, it was my aunt who was unlucky.
My aunt thought about getting a divorce, but her elder sister persuaded her not to do so. The most embarrassing things at that time were breaking her shoes outside and being unable to have children.
Therefore, my aunt endured it for more than five years and never mentioned divorce.
The current uncle lives in the backyard of my aunt's house. Because of Luoguo, he has never been able to get a wife, and he is two years older than my aunt.
Before that, he didn't even drive a car, so he took over the old man's shift, worked as a postman at the post office, and rode around on the street as a sophomore.
When my aunt was being beaten, I watched Luo Guo lying down behind the window many times. In those days, beating wives was very common, so Luo Guo just watched the show.
Several times, my aunt jumped out of the window and ran away, but Luo Guo helped to cover her up and hid in her vegetable cellar.
People are like this. Once they know where to take refuge, they will run there next time. After going back and forth, Luo Guo began to feel sympathy for his aunt.
One side is asking for help, the other side is punching and punching. As time goes by, my aunt is willing to run to Luo Guo without being beaten.
Finally, one summer night, my aunt's clothes were torn to pieces by Lao Wang, and she fled to Luo Guo's house again.
As usual, Lao Wang cursed for a while, then lay down on the kang and fell asleep.
The aunt's exposed body made Luo Guo, who had never touched a woman, finally break his guard, and the two cried and hugged each other.
After three months, my aunt's belly bulged. Now Lao Wang was confused, and my aunt was even more confused.
Lao Wang has become a bit demented after drinking. More than five years have passed and there has been no movement. He seems to have stopped sowing. What's going on?
My aunt had never been pregnant, and she didn't take it seriously when she didn't have her period. She thought it was fine. Who knew that her own iron tree could bloom?
It's good to be uneducated. No one is thinking about anything else. I only have one idea: to take good care of the child in my belly.
Lao Wang gave up drinking and was as good to his aunt as when he was newly married. He washed her feet every day, served her with water, and provided her with delicious food and drinks.
My aunt also broke off all contact with Luo Guo. Luo Guo looked at her sweetly and asked someone to transfer her to the Acheng Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
Although there are some old ladies who gossip behind their backs, Lao Wang and his wife don't care. As time goes by, the news becomes stale.
The next year, my aunt gave birth to a fat boy, weighing over 9 pounds. It was difficult to deliver. It took more than seven hours to give birth, and my aunt was in great pain.
When the child was one month old, the Tie family organized a full-moon banquet, and almost all the employees from the heavy machinery factory came.
There is a hot pot, washbasin, blanket, eggs... set up on a kang.
In those days, if you could only spend a few dollars, you would feel that you had a lot of money. Most of the time, you would bring a blanket or something, and the whole family would come to have a meal, and not only would you eat, but you would also take it back home.
That day, Luo Guo also came, followed Zhang Dajie, and even bought a toy chicken for the child. When he pressed it, he chirped, making the child giggle.
Luo Guo felt that the child looked like him, so he felt inexplicable pain in his heart. As a result, he got drunk.
The aunt did not dare to get close to the hunchback. She felt uncomfortable and pretended not to see it. However, the child in her arms held the chicken and kept stroking her little hands towards the hunchback.
For a moment, the aunt looked at the child and thought about Luo Guo, and immediately felt that she was ridiculous. How could it be possible just like that!
As the child grew up, he became more and more like a hunchback. Lao Wang didn't feel much about it, but his aunt became more and more uneasy.
Luo Guo also came back frequently and bought things for the child every time. When Lao Wang was so happy, he even asked the child to recognize Luo Guo as his godfather.
It would be fine if we could just live like this, but God is always so naughty. When the child was two years old, God caused trouble again.
The boiler room exploded, sending Lao Wang to the hospital. He was fine, but a test result from the hospital was more serious than the boiler explosion.
Lao Wang was born with an abnormal position of his vagina and had no spermatogenic function at all. The conclusion is that Lao Wang's son is not Lao Wang's.
It was chaos now. The old man in the hospital and the ultimate boss in the game copy almost demolished the inpatient department.
Finally, Luo Guo knelt down in front of Lao Wang, and of course, his aunt. Both of them had broken shoes hanging around their necks, and the room smelled of stinky feet.
It was really funny back then. Luo Guoleng was convicted of hooliganism and sentenced to seven years. The culprit was Lao Tie.
Luo Guo went to prison miserably, his aunt got divorced and was kicked out of the Wang family. He took his children and opened a piece of land in the suburbs.
Lao Tie sternly warned that the Tie family were not allowed to interact with their aunt, not even Tie Jun's wife.
After Lao Wang was discharged from the hospital, he went to work again, and there were people pointing fingers behind him every day. The feeling of being fucked made Lao Wang more and more excited.
After all, Lao Wang couldn't bear it anymore. The next summer, he hanged himself in the boiler room. He was found in the early morning of the next day with two empty wine bottles thrown at his feet.
According to the old custom, people who died unexpectedly were buried on the same day, and they were also buried secretly in a black coffin. It was said that this could calm the innocent souls.
When Lao Wang was buried, there were not many people. Lao Tie and his disciples carried the coffin. There were no suonas, firecrackers, or paper money. It looked very scary.
My aunt also went and followed secretly. The chubby Dabao also looked like a matchstick, gritting his molars and staring at the black coffin.
After the coffin was buried, it suddenly began to rain, and the rain became heavier and heavier. Lao Wang was buried in a hurry, and everyone ran away.
My aunt hid in the woods with Dabao, and when everyone else ran away, she walked to the grave and knelt down without saying anything, her face expressionless, and so did Dabao.
They just stood still in the heavy rain, one kneeling and the other standing, with the mother on one side.
My aunt herself doesn’t know whether her feelings for Lao Wang are more hatred or love.
This man gave her hope and then crushed it.
I don’t know when there was an umbrella on my head, and my aunt finally cried, her whole body twitched from crying, and Da Ya also cried while holding the umbrella.
Da Ya has been close to her aunt since she was a child, and her aunt sings beautifully. Da Ya’s songs were all taught by her aunt.
Da Ya was in class when she saw the weather change and knew that Lao Wang was being buried today. She guessed that her aunt would go and she also guessed that her aunt would not be able to bring an umbrella.
Thinking about the skinny physiques of her aunt and Dabao, Daya couldn't sit still, so she borrowed an umbrella and ran towards the back hill.
After helping my aunt up, a bottle of dichlorvos slipped out of her trouser pocket. Daya was frightened and cried: "Auntie, you must not do anything stupid! You don't care about Dabao anymore?"
The aunt touched Da Ya's hair and cried, "Dabao is hungry, and I really can't afford to feed him, oh oh oh oh!"
After some persuasion, I sent my aunt back. Looking at the small mud house that was leaking everywhere, Daya turned around and rushed out.
The first time she stole something, Daya stole all the food in the warehouse, which was actually half a bag of cornmeal and half a bag of black flour.
From then on, Da Ya began to skip school and worked as a temporary worker in a carton factory, helping her aunt survive the most difficult days.
Lao Tie was called several times to call his parents, but to no avail. Da Ya simply refused to accept the fight and refused to run away. She held her neck and beat him to death.
Having no other choice, Lao Tie put Da Ya into heavy industry, first as a temporary worker, and later as a member of the art team.
Luo Guo behaved very well in prison, and his sentence was commuted several times. After more than four years, he was released early.
The leader of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau was really humane. After holding a meeting, he finally arranged a job for Luo Guo and became a postman.
Luo Guo came to see his aunt and the child every day. The aunt chased Luo Guo away with a cold face, Dabao cried and called Dabao, and Luo Guo cried and called Dabao.
This lasted for more than half a year. With Da Ya's help, the two finally got married and moved back to Luo Guo's house.
