Seventy Little Heads

Goudan and Wang Xuan woke up at noon and found that Mrs. Li hadn't returned yet, so Goudan was upset.

"Are you trying to force my father to death or something? Didn't you see that my father is tired? You can't finish talking. There are so many things you want to say, so go back to your home."

"Stop howling." Goudan's face darkened.

Directly holding back the crying and howling that just came out, this bastard can really do the thing of throwing himself out.She didn't dare to play tricks in front of this grandson.

For dinner, Wang Xuan reheated the meat dishes at noon, and made old cucumber cold salad, and the three of them ate dinner quietly.

The next day, Goudan found out that Li Si probably didn't sleep much all night. The yard had chopped a lot of firewood.Hey, it's not easy to be a father, so old.

After breakfast, I called a few friends who were trustworthy and strict with their mouths, and set off.

"Does any of you know how to get to Xiaopingyuan Village?" Goudan has never been to his grandmother's house since he was so old. Maybe he went there when he was a baby. Anyway, he doesn't have any impression.

"I know how to get there. We have to take a car first, get off halfway, and walk for about half an hour."

"That's fine, you lead the way."

First, I went to the town to buy something for them to eat on the way. Goudan was worried that the journey would be too far, and he would be hungry and have nothing to eat, so he had to prepare some water and food first.There must be some gifts, which will be useful at that time.

Goudan couldn't tell why, except that yesterday he suddenly heard something unbelievable, and today his mood is very calm, making Wang Xuan, who has been worried about him, confused.I don't know if he is sad or what, but after dealing with it carefully for a long time, I found that he should eat and drink, and he is not disturbed or happy.

The reason why Xiaopingyuan Village is called this name is related to its region.The place where Goudan's house is located has many ditches and ridges. It is a mountainous area with not many flat lands.But the town where Xiaopingyuan Village is located is the flattest among the nearby towns, with a lot of flat land. In the past, it was a relatively wealthy town.

Xiaopingyuan Village is also a little far away from Pingyuan Town, a town with wider plains. Xiaopingyuan Village is a small basin in the mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides, but the bottom in the middle is very flat.

Pingyuan Town is the next door to Xiangou Town, and there is a long town in the middle, so it's not too far by car.

"How do you know about this place?"

Goudan asked one of the little friends, and that person took it for granted, "Because my wife is from this village. When I got married, you went to Kyoto to go to college. Otherwise, you would have come to help me welcome the bride. To be honest, I wouldn't I know, your grandmother's house is actually in this village."

Yes, sometimes coincidences are unbelievable, and the world is so small that it is really speechless.

A few people changed the bus three times before getting on and off the bus halfway. Looking left and right, the land was very strange. "Xiaohu, what kind of place is this, don't you drag us all out and sell it?"

"I don't sell you to anyone. You eat more than you do. Who is willing to buy you?" Xiaohu, a tour guide, ignored the yelling people and said to Goudan, "We still have to walk for half an hour. Although the village has a lot of flat land, it is relatively closed with mountains on three sides, and there are not many married daughters. The road was rebuilt a few years ago, and their traffic is much better. It only takes half an hour to walk almost there."

The lads are all young, and walking for half an hour is nothing if they are used to working in the village, so it's not good to laugh and fight, after all, the next thing to do is a bit serious.

Goudan asked Xiaohu to talk about his impression of this place, and before he knew it, the village was in front of him.

It is indeed quite flat, unlike Xikan Village, where the fields are patched here and there, and there are many deep ditches and swamps.

At a glance, you can see the houses and trees surrounded by fields. At first glance, there are still a few families with tile-roofed houses.

Several people stopped together, watched from a distance, and then secretly looked at Goudan.Goudan was also at a loss for a while, since he heard about it yesterday and came today, he will know the truth immediately, but he can't move.

It was attractive to see a few young men standing in a row. It didn't take long for people working in the field to ask them what they did and where they came from.

Xiaohu had a sweet mouth, and went forward to say that he came to announce the good news to his Yue family, and that his little daughter-in-law was finally pregnant.When the man heard that it was the son-in-law with hairy feet, although he looked like a young man, he didn't ask any more questions because Xiaohu was there.

"Let's go."

Goudan didn't know where his grandmother's house was, so Xiaohu took the candy and other gifts prepared by Goudan to his in-law's house first, and asked by the way, because he didn't know Goudan's grandmother's family either.

A middle-aged woman came out with him. He took a look at Goudan. Xiaohu explained in embarrassment that she was his wife's sister-in-law. The man asked Goudan, "Are you really the son of a dumb aunt?"

Goudan nodded, and she asked again, "The one who went to college?"

Goudan nodded again.

Then the aunt slapped her thigh, "This old Zhu's family has committed crimes, such a big grandson has never been in contact with each other, what a good child. Hey, you are also a conscientious child, come with me, and take you to see your mother. "

Turning around, under a tree at the end of the village, a low and simple shed appeared in front of me.The materials are all picked up branches and broken boards tied with ropes to support them. If it rains and winds, it will not be able to withstand the wind, let alone withstand the cold winter.

Hey, even Goudan feels pitiful. To put it bluntly, the small nests where his little darlings live are much stronger and much better than this one.

Goudan has a very complicated mood. He used to think about where his mother went, how he was doing, and whether he would miss him.In Goudan's impression, she is quiet and silent, working every day without rest.

"No one, oh, my brain, I guess I've gone to work for someone else. You wait for me to ask, who's working for me today." Said hurriedly and left.

Others didn't dare to speak, Wang Xuan didn't know what to say, and his Goudan brother didn't need empty comfort.The waiting time was long, and when the person came back, Goudan stared at the shack until his eyes became sore, only to realize that he had been staring at it in a daze.

"Dumb aunt, your son is here to pick you up, look how energetic you look."

Then he said to Goudan, "Son, this is your mother."

Goudan pulled out his hand to prevent her from grabbing it, and then looked at the dark and thin woman. Goudan tried hard to find the familiar place in her impression back then.

The woman was very cautious, her rough hands kept wiping the hem of her clothes, she opened her mouth, and looked nervously at the person in front of her who was said to be her son.

Both mother and son tried hard to find the shadow of each other back then, but the other had changed, both had changed.

If it weren't for those eyes, and Shen Mo's ability to only open his mouth but not make a sound, Goudan wouldn't dare to recognize this as his own mother.The mother-in-law was born ordinary, with only beautiful eyes, her mouth can't speak, her eyes are especially flexible and able to speak, which has become her characteristic, a deep memory in Goudan's impression.

But this pair of eyes, Goudan did not inherit, Goudan picked up a little more of Li Si's appearance.

The woman gestured tremblingly: I have grown up, really grown up.

She wanted to touch his head just like she did when she was a child, but the son was too tall.

I remember when I was a child, my son was black and thin, with a big head like a hammer. At the beginning, I almost had a difficult delivery because of the big head.She is dumb, and Li Si doesn't talk much, but his son has a sharp mouth. When he was beaten, the son cried and called, and then scolded his grandma.

Today, her son is tall and strong, and she has been told by others that she is unlucky these days after she came back, and that the son she left behind is promising and has gone to college.But she was happy to hear that, and didn't want to go to him.Has he come to find himself now?Still recognize her as a mother who shamed him?

When the woman thought of this, tears shed from her dim and lusterless eyes, and she cried silently.

Why.Goudan suddenly felt uncomfortable.If they were not face to face, their mother and son would not recognize each other even if they met on the road without looking carefully. What could be more sad than this.

"mother."

Goudan yelled, the woman's body shook, and she looked at Goudan with incredible effort, as if confirming it, and then cried even more fiercely.

She shook her head and made gestures, probably saying that she was not a good mother and had no face to recognize him.Goudan also wondered why he could roughly understand it, probably because of his childhood memories.

Goudan doesn't know what to say. I haven't seen her in more than ten years. It's okay to say how deep my relationship is, but who hasn't missed his mother?

"Mom, why don't you come and find me?"

The woman shook her head and made comparisons: Mother is not from the Li family anymore, so she can't go back.

"But didn't grandma not let you in and deny you as a daughter?"

"Hey, son, your grandma passed away a few years ago, and now your aunt is in charge of the house." The aunt interrupted.

Is that so?

"Your aunt said that they all treated her as your mother and died outside." In fact, it was even worse to say, but it was not easy for her to imitate others' sons, so there was no way she could say that.

In fact, the dumb aunt went home many times and asked her natal family for help, saying that she was abused terribly at her mother-in-law's house, but all the brothers in the family kept silent, and the muffled ones did not give their heads.The sister-in-law at home said that if you get married, you have to endure it, don't go back to your mother's house all the time, it's not good for her.In the end, the dumb aunt didn't come back much, until she ran away with someone.

"I'm here to pick you up today."

The woman shook her head desperately and gestured: I can't go, I'll embarrass you.

"Then take a look at your house, can people live in it? It will be cold soon, without clothes and bedding, are you going to freeze to death?"

"You can't make money even if you help others. Don't worry, I won't go back to Li's house when I pick you up. Can I make arrangements? I can make money, and you won't spend much. You can't be left here anymore."

The mother and the child make gestures and answer each other, and others can't understand how they communicate.

In the end, the dumb aunt did not agree to go with Goudan.

Wang Xuan saw that the mother and child were stiff, but he didn't expect this to happen.He had already noticed the two children behind Goudan's mother, and he pointed to the frightened two children and said, "Auntie, winter is coming soon, if you don't do it for yourself, you also do it for those two, two... ….Brothers and sisters. You have to go to school in the future, and get married when you grow up, you can’t do it here.”

The topic was changed, and the attention of the two was also dispersed.Goudan finally remembered that he seemed to have two half-brothers?

Seeing Goudan staring at the two children, the dumb aunt was at a loss.

It would be a lie to say that Goudan is not sad, his own mother has become someone else's mother.I didn't see it, but I didn't think much of it. After meeting, I still feel a little repulsed by this half-brother and sister.
