Father is busy with farm work, teaching Alian to dress herself, and helping him take care of his younger brother, eating, dressing and running before and after. Alian puts her mother's burden on herself, learning to cut vegetables, cook, wash clothes and feed pigs, so as to reduce her father's burden as much as possible.
My mother has been gone for a year, and my kind neighbor introduced me to my father. It is really not easy for a man and two children to live together. Young girls don't want to be other people's stepmother, and they broke up after several times of talking about marriage.
Lotus loves her father dearly and pulls her brother to live with her grandmother. In this way, father talked about his daughter-in-law. After I got married, I told Chin that Chin had no choice but to take her two children home. Lian is seven years old. She can cook and do housework. Joan has a little helper. It's just that Ah Xin is naughty and lawless. Chin picked up a stick and hit Ah Xin's ass, hurting Ah Lian's heart. Children without mothers are like grass! Alian secretly cares about Ah Xin and doesn't do "bad things".
Lian knows how to please A Cheng. She called her mother sweetly, served tea and water, and helped Qin diligently. Pour foot washing water, take slippers, rub your back and shoulders, and the mother and daughter are generally satisfied with Qin, and the family lives happily.
When Alian was ten years old, Chin became pregnant and gave birth to twin brothers. Financial constraints at home, two acres of land, feeding six people, heavy burden, Qin's temper is getting worse and worse. Alian is in the third grade of primary school and A Xin is in the first grade. Every time I go home, A Xin will go to herd cattle, and Alian will carry a big bamboo basket of clothes to wash, and the clothes of a large family will be in a basket for several days.
At home, Chin is busy with the children, and all the housework is given to Alian. Alian is bitter in heart and silently takes responsibility, which is not the responsibility of a ten-year-old child. Alian's father goes out to work during the slack season, and the whole family wants to eat with their mouths open! Father is not at home, maybe Qin is too tired, maybe life is too bitter. Qin vented all his disappointment and anger on Alian.
Alian was tortured physically and mentally, but she dared not talk back. She only slept, covered with a quilt, secretly crying, crying about her mother's early death, crying about her youth, unable to decompose the grievances of life. My only wish is to grow up and escape from the bondage of home quickly.
In this way, Alian persisted in graduating from junior high school and reached the age of eighteen. I want to go out to work, but Qin won't let me. On the one hand, I am used to Alian's efforts. On the other hand, Alian has reached the age of talking about marriage and is afraid of being trafficked.
Rural children have two ways out, either to study or to work in Tianjin and Shenzhen with their fellow villagers. This can at least get rid of the fate of facing the loess and facing the sky. Lian's family is very poor, so she can't afford to read. Going out to work has become a bubble, and parents don't allow it.
Alian stayed at home for another year to help her parents farm. Alian is slim and graceful, with oval face, double eyelids, talking eyes and long hair braids, which makes her more charming and affectionate. People near and far know that Alian is hardworking, kind and honest, and there are many matchmakers. Lotus's father smiled proudly and his daughter finally grew up. Gene is looking forward to it. When Alian gets married, she can earn a bride price so that her twin sons can go to college.
Alian knows Qin's mind too well. She insists on rejecting the young people her parents like, hoping that others will get a high bride price and directly say that she doesn't like them. Lian is too eager to know the outside world. She has been in the mountains enough, and the traffic is not convenient. She shoulders one shoulder and shoulders another, looking through her life at a glance, and she is down and out.
Grandma Lian is ill and goes to a big hospital for examination. Alian's father took Alian to accompany and take care of her. Lotus entered the city for the first time. There are many high-rise buildings, traffic and people coming and going. Alian is novel and excited. This is the life she yearns for.
The elder sister and grandmother in the same ward are very nice. Chatting with Grandma Alian, I had a clear understanding of Alian's life experience, expressed deep sympathy for Alian, secretly enlightened Alian and wanted to marry her to her brother-in-law. Lotus blushed, never talked about love, and didn't know Hua's appearance, personality and temper. She just refused to say that marriage was decided by her parents.
The elder sister took Hua to the hospital the next day and quietly met Allen. Hua is one head taller than Alian, with square face, big eyes, high nose and handsome and burly. The two young people were attracted by each other's beauty and couldn't help chatting for a long time.
Hua works in a factory and comes from a poor family. His parents farm in their hometown and have no money to buy a house. He is twenty-one years old and there are many girls in the factory. His eyes look up. He is looking for someone who has a house. Hua was in a hurry, and the elder sister sympathized with Alian's fate and kindly became a matchmaker.
Alian spent a week with her sister. They had the same heart, but kept it from their father and grandmother. Grandma's illness was found out and the doctor prescribed a bunch of medicine. Alian's father went through the discharge formalities and escorted his grandmother home with Alian.
While waiting for the bus at the railway station, Alian said that she had to go to the toilet, sneaked out and left with her sister.
Alian's father waited left and right, but he was too anxious. He asked the cleaner to help him find it, but he found nothing. The police at the railway station helped to adjust the video and saw Alian leave the railway station and get on the No.5 bus.
Allen's father was desperate, so he called the police and told his old mother to go home first, fearing that the old man could not bear the pain of "losing" his granddaughter.
Alian's father sent his mother home and immediately returned to the city. Look for Lian. I haven't heard from her for ten days. Lotus's father's hair is so white that he can't bear to feel sorry for his daughter! 19 years later, it disappeared under my nose.
After returning home, Grandma Alian couldn't stand the blow and died. Chin quarreled with Alian's father, saying that Alian's father deliberately let Alian go because he was afraid that Alian's family would benefit. Alian's father was very angry and took A Xin to work in Tianjin.
Alian's father never gave up looking for Alian, and Axin looked for her sister everywhere.
Three years! At first, Lian was worried that her family would not agree to marry Hua. Later, when I had a son, I was even more homesick. When my son was one year old, I took Hua home. Alian's father Qin and all his family forgave Alian's original choice. As long as Alian is happy, what is unacceptable to her family? Alian is the only one who is sorry for her grandmother and didn't let her witness her life. Alian cried at grandma's grave for a long time until Ah Xin took Alian home.
Since then, Alian has kept in touch with her parents and younger brother. Alian is very strong, selling vegetables in the city, accumulating funds, buying commercial houses and becoming a real city dweller. When the twin brothers went to college, he saved a lot of help.
When Alian became a mother, she thoroughly understood Qin's difficulties and repaired the relationship between mother and daughter. Grateful Qin married her father and gave her an imperfect maternal love.
Alian never regrets her choice. Her fate is firmly in her own hands and she lives a positive and sunny life. China knows how cold it is and how hot it is. They work hard and live a dream life. They are happy and sweet!
