Chapter 76 seventy-five

One night, my younger sister went to the street with my aunt and cousin, while my younger brother was studying alone in the study; I mentioned this plan to my mother, and my mother nodded in agreement, saying that I had to wait for my father to come back before making further plans.However, she said frankly that as long as the children can start a family and start a career, the parents will be happier than the guards by their side. My mother talked to me about the difficult life of the past few years. The fields in my hometown are managed by others, and I can only receive half of the rent; selling and buying, it is only enough to cover half a year's expenses.My father's running and running business can only make a small profit. Fortunately, my mother lived frugally in previous years and saved a sum of money to subsidize my younger brother's tuition.

As long as the whole family is safe and sound, my mother always repeats this sentence after each episode: how many people are more unfortunate than us! Yes!There are countless people who are less fortunate than us, like Uncle Zhu, I have seen their plight with my own eyes.I told my mother about my return home. She sighed and said sadly: Your uncle's family is worse than theirs!The whole family died, and only Qiuming, a bitter child, was left! Uncle died too!I said in surprise: Mom!Why didn't you tell me sooner. I'm afraid you will be sad, child!With tears in her eyes, my mother said: No one would dare to talk about these things if you didn't mention them.

Just say it!I can think of everything now! I couldn't stand it, my mother rubbed her eyes: Isn't he very good at teaching in the north, and when the situation is not right, he asks for leave to go home, so we know that he not only failed to protect his family, but also failed to protect his own life. Why?I said in a daze. He died a miserable death. The traitors and lackeys forced him to become an official, but he refused. Those lackeys were polite at first, but then they became unreasonable. Instead, they said that he was the leader of the guerrillas and forced him to give a confession.You know the character of your uncle who would rather die than submit. After being tortured several times, until his last breath was left, the traitors notified the family to take him back.

Uncle made such a heroic sacrifice!I said with a sigh. It doesn't matter that he died, your aunt couldn't think about it, so she secretly hanged herself on the night of your uncle's funeral.The mother choked up and said: "It's really a family ruin. Half a year later, the cousin who adopted your uncle also fell ill, and it was too late to call a doctor." The mother couldn't continue in pain, and after a pause, she wiped away her tears: I will never forget what your uncle and aunt said before they died. They all told me to take care of Qiumen, as if they knew in advance that she would be alone.

I shed tears silently for a while, and said to my mother with a hard heart: Yes, Mom!Of course we have to take care of Tyumen, we must be worthy of our uncle and aunt, Tyumen is now Son, I want to tell you these words some time later. My mother stroked my hair and said: Before your uncle and aunt died, they also said that you would change your mind in the future, and they also knew that Qiumen would not marry someone else.What the hell are you talking about?The son's marriage is up to him to decide. I can't see a good daughter-in-law, so I have to force my son to be filial to me mom!I held her hand and didn't let her continue. In an instant, the emotional pain was like a sharp knife piercing the scar on my heart. I said painfully: "Where is Qiuming now?"

Would you like to marry her now?My mother looked at me in surprise: Tell Mom!Ma won't laugh at you; but Ma won't tell you about it again. Mom, I can't bear to let her down, but I can't think of better words. Um!Son, mom understands your thoughts, you are not young now, do you still need mom to worry about these things?The mother sighed and said, "Besides, Alan is dead, and Yanan is gone too. What worries do you have?" Don't say that, Mom!I shook my head lightly: love is not a commodity, the good ones cannot be bought, and the bad ones have to be put on the shelves.If I were like this, I would marry Qiumen, which would be tantamount to insulting her.Moreover, I have never put Qiumen at the end.

Then why did you agree to marry Alan?Mother said to me with a bit of reproach. No reason!I said: At that time, I felt that Alan's situation was more pitiful than theirs; marriage was just a means to comfort her, not an end.In conscience, I have not forgotten the love between Qiumen and Yanan. Is it the same with Anan? Yes!Isn't a disabled person more worthy of sympathy than a healthy person?Qiumen will understand this truth! What nonsense!My mother glared at me, then suddenly smiled gently: "Silly boy!"You are lost, who taught you, who is full of love and love, that woman and man only talk about love and don't want to get married; or only want to get married without love.Love and marriage are one thing, is it plausible to separate them?How come the more you read, the more confused you become.

mom!I'm not confused at all, I said helplessly: For example, I still care about Qiumen, it's the same if I don't get married Only you think so!Mother shook her head again and again: Do you think Qiuming is as confused as you? mom!Let's not talk about it, okay?I said: tell me, where is Qiumen now? Why do you ask her if you don't promise to marry her?The mother sighed again in disappointment: Son!You are such a hard-hearted person, Qiumen is so kind to you, you mom!I said impatiently, "I haven't forgotten her. Didn't I try my best to chase her when I was in Changsha? Who knew we had no fate, what can I do?"

She also said the same in her letter, and her mother pondered for a moment: I have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, but I can't find any news about you.It wasn't until Hong Kong that she died of this heart. So is she still in Hong Kong now? Um!Probably still there.Mother nodded: half a year ago, her aunt visited her once how is she?I stood up nervously, and suddenly the door opened, and Qiuming's aunt walked in holding my younger sister's hand, and I shouted urgently: "Biao aunt!"Have you met Qiuming? She glanced at a mother in surprise. You tell her!I don't think it matters.Mother said in a low voice.

Yes, I see her!My aunt brushed her hair and looked at me sadly: she is much thinner than before, and she rarely talks, let alone mentioning you. Didn't she inquire about me? I asked her about it first, and she just smiled wryly, but didn't express any opinion. What is she doing in Hong Kong? At first she learned music from foreigners, but after the foreigners left, she learned to compose by herself.After the fall of Hong Kong, she stayed at a friend's house and taught several children how to play the piano. What now!Is she still a governess? There has been no letter for almost half a year, and my cousin sighed: "Maybe it's still there!"However, I have sent many letters, but no reply came.

So she might have left Hong Kong again? Will not!My aunt wiped her tears and said: She told me that she hopes to live in Hong Kong for the rest of her life. She likes the sea and mountains there, and the children she gets along with. Why don't you bring her back? well!She broke her mouth, but she didn't agree.She said Hong Kong was her destination and she couldn't leave there, let alone come back to my house.The cousin shed tears of grief: I wanted to move my family to Hong Kong, but she refused, and told me not to write to her again, if I have the opportunity to see you, I will tell you; forget She, she also forgets you.Even me, she expressed her indifference, within half a month, she urged me to come back. Yes!I lingered in the room for a while: we were hurting her so much! You should take the responsibility, brother!My sister said to me coldly: Only you can make her change her mind. Go find her quickly and tell her that Alan is dead and Yanan is gone, and she will change her mind. I think so too!My aunt said to me pleadingly: I am a lonely person, only Qiuming is my only relative.You can bring her back, I will be grateful to you forever. When you were young, your uncle and aunt loved you so much, and your mother also sighed and said: Child, you are dead or alive, and a bunch of eyes are looking at you. But what can I do!I said painfully: She must hate me, and I feel sorry for her. No!My aunt shook her head: I think she still has your picture on her bookshelf!Don't worry go find her!child. OK!I pondered for a while, then nodded: I must go to her, even if I hate me, I still want to see her. This is a good boy!Both mother and aunt wiped away their tears and smiled: "Let's leave after a few days of rest?"We prepare you for marriage at home. marry!I walked to the window in a daze, and saw the Cowherd and Weaver Girl beside the Milky Way, which was even brighter among the stars. I lowered my head, feeling so confused that I couldn't even hear what my mother said.
