1992 Lunar Gregorian Calendar

1

Just after the Lunar New Year in 2000, Min Min’s grandfather passed away in his sleep.

That was the first time Minmin saw her aunt Zhou Ping suffering from madness.

She knelt in the mourning hall, complaining about her father who had passed away, and crying for her son who had died young, as if she was possessed by an evil spirit.

Outsiders watched the excitement when they saw it, but my family members turned a blind eye tacitly, as if nothing had happened.

It has been almost 10 years since Zhou Ping’s son Baobao passed away. In these 10 years, Minmin’s impression of her aunt is:

She ate instant noodles for three meals a day. and poached eggs.

She originally thought that her aunt also liked this "human delicacy", but she didn't know that things were far from that simple.

After my grandfather was buried, my aunt stopped crying and everything returned to the way it was before. The crazy woman at the funeral seemed to be everyone’s hallucination...

Only occasionally, Minmin can still hear her aunt’s murmuring thoughts:

“If Baobao didn’t eat that dumpling, why would I have eaten instant noodles for so many years... ...

Minmin has not seen her cousin Baobao since she was born. She later heard about the Zhou family and her cousin from her mother.

The old Zhou family has four children, and aunt Zhou Ping is the third. Perhaps because she is the first girl in the family, Minmin's grandfather loves her very much.

< p>My grandfather was the director of a repair shop, and his family conditions were much better than those of ordinary people. At that time, everyone in the factory knew that Director Zhou’s family had a baby bump, and his braided hair was different every day.

But in 1965, my aunt’s beautiful childhood came to an abrupt end.

During a reconciliation, the leader of the repair shop inexplicably discovered that there was a lack of 25 cents in the account. As the director of the factory, my grandfather is naturally a thorn in his side.

"Director Zhou, no matter who did this, the higher-ups want you to take responsibility first, so that you can keep your job." < /p>

Grandpa was notoriously stubborn and would never admit anything he had never done. Due to pressure from public opinion, the superiors had no choice but to fire him.

That winter, grandpa was driving a carriage. , and left with the whole family.

They came to a small village below the town. The family consciousness in the village was very strong, so they had to live in a small mud house nearby. It was a mass grave.

My aunt was 6 years old at the time and was about to go to elementary school. However, due to such troubles at home, her schooling was ruined.

In order to maintain the family. In order to make a living, both grandma and grandpa worked in the fields, and all the laundry and cooking at home fell on the aunt.

In 1969, Minmin’s mother Zhou Ya was born, and raising children became a problem again. The aunt returned of course. She didn't want to, but there was nothing she could do.

But what was most difficult for the aunt to accept was that seeing Zhou Ya grow up day by day, her two brothers who were studying abroad suddenly said that they wanted to go home. When Zhou Ya was sent to school, her aunt felt unbalanced.

Since my grandfather left the repair shop, he rarely paid attention to the lives of his children. He also had a tacit attitude towards Zhou Ya going to school. .

The aunt could not resist her brother and did not dare to go against her father's wishes, so she had to swallow her grievance.

In 1980, the deficiencies in the factory's accounts were finally found out, and they felt sorry. The Zhou family let Minmin's grandfather continue to be the director of the factory and gave him three earthen houses.

From then on, several strange men came to visit the old Zhou family every now and then, and the aunt took a seat. She stood aside without saying a word.

At this time, the aunt was already 20 years old. She had grown into a tall and tall girl, with two black and thick braids hanging on her shoulders. Very energetic.

But there are many people who gossip about her behind her back, because she has never gone to school and cannot read a single Chinese character.

Later, a dark-skinned man came to the house. He was wearing a blue coarse cloth coat and his teeth protruded when he smiled.

"Zhou Ping, this is Yu Baisheng, the son of Master Yu in our factory. He is very powerful and has won the 'Advanced Individual' award twice in a row"!

My grandfather was very satisfied with Yu Baisheng and felt that he had a bright future. Every time Yu Baisheng came to Zhou's house, he would bring a few bottles of wine with him. As time went by, he became a frequent visitor to the house.

My aunt got married after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the other party was Yu Baisheng. She didn’t say anything. Anyway, she never made the decision in life, and there was no other choice.

From then on, the life of the family changed...

After the aunt got married, she moved with her uncle. I moved into the staff dormitory of the repair factory and lived a relatively happy life.

But within half a year, the repair shop initiated layoffs due to poor performance, and the staff dormitories also had to pay monthly rent.

Since my uncle had just won the "Advanced Individual" award, the factory had no choice but to let him set an example and put his name directly on the layoff list.

It happened that my aunt was pregnant at this time. In order to stabilize her income, my uncle set up a car repair stall at the south gate of the repair shop. He worked early in the morning and stayed late every day to make ends meet.

In June 1981, my aunt was pushed into the delivery room. She suffered from labor pain for 18 hours before giving birth to her son. When the uncle saw this, he named the child "Baobao".

Baobao's arrival has added a lot of joy to the family, but no one thought that he would become a "scar" for his aunt and even the entire Zhou family in the days to come.

After two years like this, the repair shop became "obsolete" and many workers began to set up stalls to repair cars.

Seeing that her husband's business was not as good as before, the aunt worked as a "bottle washer" in a winery near her home, earning one and a half yuan a day.

Although the family’s life is quite difficult, Bao Bao has grown up to be healthy and healthy until he is 8 years old.

He has been more sensible than other children of the same age since he was a child. Sometimes his aunt will go back once a day when she is busy, not to mention his uncle, so Baobao often has a good meal.

Sometimes when I’m really hungry, I go to my dad’s car repair stall and ask for some money to buy a pack of vegetable instant noodles.

The yellow-green bag with "Beef Noodles" written on it is Baobao's favorite food. His biggest wish is to enjoy a bowl of instant noodles.

However, due to the situation at home, he usually only eats half and leaves the rest for his parents after get off work.

In 1991, Zhou Ya fell seriously ill, and it took a lot of effort to save her life.

Later, with the help of her parents, she settled in the town and wanted to invite her family to eat dumplings together.

At that time, every household was living very hard, and dumplings could only be eaten during the Spring Festival.

Zhou Ya went from door to door and started calling people. When she arrived at her aunt's house, she saw instant noodle dregs all over the floor. Baobao beside her sat on the ground crying heartbrokenly.

"Second aunt, I wanted to eat some instant noodles after dinner, but my mother beat me." When Baobao saw Zhou Ya, he nestled into her arms and looked at his mother timidly.

“You’ve already eaten and you still eat that bag of instant noodles. If you’re hungry tomorrow, you still want to buy them. Do you still have to spend money?” The aunt held Bao Bao and wanted to continue the beating.

"Sister, isn't it just a bag of instant noodles? My family is making dumplings today, and I'm taking the kids to eat." Zhou Ya hurriedly put Bao behind her.

"I won't bother you. His father won't be back until soon. I still have work to finish today."

After hearing what his mother said, Bao Bao’s smile disappeared and he pulled on his second aunt’s sleeve pitifully, refusing to let go even after saying anything.

"No trouble, I'll take him there, and you'll bring your share when I deliver the bail." After hearing this, the aunt had no choice but to agree and repeatedly told Baobao: "Your second aunt is in good health. Don't cause trouble when you go."

As soon as her mother finished speaking, Baobao took her second aunt and ran home. As soon as they walked in, the uncle's son Liangliang was about to take Baobao out to play. Zhou Ya told them to pay attention to safety and go home early for dinner.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Liangliang ran back crying: "Go quickly! Baobao was buried in the back mountain, I'm afraid...

Before Liangliang finished speaking, Zhou Ya and her brothers ran as fast as they could to the back hill. They climbed onto the suddenly extra mound of soil and dug down hard.

The light yellow sweater gradually leaked out, and the next thing they saw was Bao Bao's purple face.

Everyone knew that in this environment, Bao Bao would basically not survive, but no. A person is willing to accept the reality.

That day they sent the baby to the best hospital in the county. My uncle sat at the door of the emergency room and rubbed his face vigorously. My aunt ran over after washing half of the wine bottles. , crying and shouting:

"Why are you disobedient, why do you have to eat that dumpling?"

Zhou Ya sat on the ground and cried silently, not raising her head for a long time! ...

Later, the uncle buried Bao Bao on the mountain east of the repair shop. That was the starting point of their family's life, but now it has become Bao Bao's "ending point"

This incident was very irritating to my aunt. She has gone crazy since Baobao left. She often talks nonsense for no reason and even does "crazy" things.

One day, The aunt suddenly ran to the east gate, and when she passed a bridge, she sat on the fence with her feet dangling in the air.

My uncle followed her, not daring to approach her rashly, so he left her alone. Ya and her husband shouted out. This was the first time the two sisters met after Jibaobao's accident.

As soon as the aunt saw her sister, she yelled:

"If not. You asked Baobao to eat dumplings, and he is still alive and well! I will never make it easy for you in this life, and my father and brothers are all partial to you. I really don’t know what’s so good about you. I would have strangled you to death when I was a child!

The winter in the north is very harsh. Cold, cold wind whizzed by, Zhou Ya wrapped up her clothes and listened to her aunt's curses.

After a long time, her aunt got tired of scolding and jumped down from the fence safely. Her uncle saw her. Zhuang helped her leave, but instead of going home, they went to a mental hospital

The aunt stayed there for half a month to treat her crazy illness. She didn't do it again, but she was as dull as a walking zombie all day long, as if nothing had happened.

In the winter of 1992, my aunt became pregnant again, and my uncle felt a sense of long-lost joy.

After the prenatal examination, the doctor worriedly told the aunt: "You are now an advanced maternal age, and you have been mentally stimulated before. You must be careful if you want to keep this child."

The strange thing is that since the aunt became pregnant with this child, she has become more energetic than before in everything she does. Bedsheets and clothes have to be washed every two days, and when it snows in winter, we have to fetch water from the yard.

My uncle couldn't persuade me, and my aunt didn't listen either. Her body seemed to have endless energy.

Until one day, there was thick ice outside, and my aunt secretly carried a load to carry water in the yard, but accidentally fell. Blood flowed all over the floor, and the child was gone.

My uncle asked anxiously: "You have been working hard since you were pregnant. Have you ever thought about the child?"

The aunt said coldly: "I don't want this child, and he is not Baobao. I want Zhou Ya to live in guilt for the rest of her life, so that no one will forget Baobao."

For a moment, my uncle's hair stood on end, and all his forbearance and grievance burst out at this moment:

"Zhou Ping, you are so terrible, I almost don't recognize you anymore, let's Get a divorce."

In the evening, my uncle packed his luggage and left the house. The honest and kind man never appeared again.

The aunt was still washing bottles in the winery as before. Although she resented Zhou Ya in her heart, the two sisters did not stop communicating.

In 1994, Zhou Ya gave birth to Min Min. Her aunt would run to Min Min every three days, but she would mention this from time to time when talking to Zhou Ya:

< p>"If Bao Bao were still alive", "If he hadn't gone to eat that dumpling"...

Zhou Ya didn't say anything, and listened patiently to her aunt every time: " Zhou Ya, actually I know that I can’t blame you for this, if you want to blame me, I blame you for saving your life, but I just let it go.”

In Minmin’s memory, her aunt has been very kind to her since she was a child, because she could eat her favorite instant noodles and poached eggs three meals a day with her.

She thought that her aunt had the same "taste buds" as herself, and it wasn't until she grew up that she understood her sadness. Maybe it was just "coarse rice" that her aunt needed to digest by herself.

Just after the Lunar New Year in 2000, my grandfather passed away in his sleep. That was the first time Minmin saw her aunt suffer from madness.

A month later, the aunt left her hometown. Before leaving, she gave her grandma 50 yuan and said, "I'm going to Beijing with that person, don't look for me."

Later, after asking around, my uncle found out that the man's name was Dong Mingshan, a mechanic in a winery, and he had been divorced a long time ago. Dong Mingshan loves to drink and hangs around drunkenly with a bottle of wine all day long.

The family members became even more worried after hearing this. Fortunately, not long after, the aunt called the small shop in front of her house. They heard that everything was fine, and everyone felt relieved.

In 2004, as China's economy gradually developed, a telephone was installed in Minmin's home. Her mother tried to contact her aunt several times, but she hung up as soon as she finished dialing the number.

Minmin knew that she did not have the courage to face her aunt, but she was always worried about her.

My aunt once told Minmin that the sports games will be held in Beijing soon. I heard that it is very big and beautiful there. It sounds like my aunt is really doing well.

It wasn’t until 2016 that Minmin and her classmates were selected by the department to go to Beijing to participate in an exchange meeting, and they realized that life was not like what her aunt said.

When she went to Beijing, her mother gave Minmin a letter and told her to sneak it under her aunt's bed.

On the way to Beijing, Minmin called her aunt. The aunt was not as happy as she imagined and said hesitantly:

"I'll tell you how to get there. Come on your own, my aunt can't pick you up."

Minmin followed the instructions and transferred to the subway twice, and then took the bus for two hours before arriving at her aunt's house.

It was a ten-square-meter tile-roofed house that seemed to collapse at any time. It was so hot in Beijing in July that people couldn’t breathe. There was only one fan in my aunt’s house and a big bowl full of instant noodles. .

"Minmin, my aunt's house has nothing, so you have to make ends meet for a day."

Later, after being informed by her aunt, Minmin found out that her aunt had contracted rheumatism a few years ago, and it was her uncle who sold blood to cure the disease.

However, her uncle was a "drunkard" who beat her at every turn, so her aunt felt soft-hearted and felt that she had failed him by leaving him.

My aunt held Minmin and cried for a long time that night, as if she had finally found an outlet for her years of grievances.

"Auntie, nǐ, go home. At least you will be in an environment you are familiar with."

On the next day, Minmin secretly put the letter under her aunt's mattress and said such "nonsensical" words to her aunt.

Because she didn’t know where her aunt was familiar with and where she felt at ease.

Unexpectedly, in 2018, my aunt and new uncle really returned to their hometown. They rented a small mud house in an area of ??the town that was about to be demolished.

My uncle and my aunt got the minimum living allowance, which allows them to receive 500 yuan a month. The new uncle also worked as a security guard in a supermarket.

Since my aunt's illness requires long-term treatment, the family's financial situation is really difficult to support. My uncle asked people to ask around and learned that families who lost their only child can receive a subsidy of 40,000 yuan.

However, it requires the signatures of the couple who lost their only child to apply for the application.

Later, my uncle and mother found Yu Baisheng in Shanxi. He had remarried. They met again after many years, but it was for the subsidy.

Afterwards, Yu Baisheng invited his aunt and Dong Mingshan to have dinner together, but the aunt decisively refused. Perhaps in her heart, she still had not let go of the resentment and pain of the past years.

In the Lunar New Year of 2019, my aunt’s subsidy came down. She booked a three-star hotel in the town and said she would treat everyone to a good meal.

At the dinner table, my aunt was so drunk that her uncles carried her home after a lot of effort.

I don’t know whether the aunt was dreaming or something, but she suddenly said jù:

"Zhou Ya, I want to go home. Baobao has been away for 27 years, and I have decided to let you go." I also let myself go.”

Everyone was silent except for the aunt who grabbed Minmin’s hand and continued to murmur:

“Minmin, give me a bowl of instant noodles and post the couplet on the door for me. It doesn’t even feel like the New Year when I go home.”

There is indeed a couplet on the table, which reads: "The door welcomes a hundred blessings, the people are prosperous, the door welcomes thousands of auspiciousness, and the whole family is happy."

In addition, the aunt also said: She had prepared the words "Fu" and "Dou Fang", everything was ready. It seemed that she had already prepared to go home for the New Year.

Later, my mother said that during the 27 years since my cousin left, my aunt had eaten instant noodles for 27 years, and she stopped eating them only after she felt relieved.

After Minmin heard the whole story, she realized what convenience meant to her aunt.

But that letter from her mother to her aunt, she still doesn’t know what was written in it...
