In the Years When I Was a Father

The original owner Qi Sheng ranked third at home, and there were two older brothers on it. At that time in the 1960s, every family was clanking poorly. There were three kids in their family. After the daughter-in-law, the whole family is together, it is inevitable that there are not many things left.

In the countryside, there is always the custom of elder sons supporting the elderly, so the older couple are more partial to the boss, but they are kind to the other two sons. After marrying the second son to his wife, they start to save money for the younger son.

The plan was good, but before Qi Sheng married his daughter-in-law, the two Qi family members died one after another.

Qi Sheng’s eldest brother and sister-in-law pulled the things left by the second elder, and together with the second elder Qi, no one asked Qi Sheng to marry his wife.

Qi Sheng is also not a good passer. The cents and food earned in these years have been handed over to the middle school. Now I do n’t want to give him a point. There is no door.

In short, at the end, Qi Sheng and the two brothers had a very bad time, and they barely divided the room and the two bags of food. After the things were divided, the sentiment between the brothers was gone.

Qi Sheng didn’t care if his brother was in such a situation. He was a lonely man, and he was a strong young man with strong vigor. He was still afraid that he could not support himself. So, in addition to earning cents on time, he also ran very discerningly to lay free for the chefs of a state-run restaurant. He doesn’t want to do anything else. He can learn more skills with the cook, he can also take many paths, so he worked hard for two years, and saved a little food, then the chef sees him as a real person, and slowly starts to teach He has some craftsmanship.

Qi Sheng’s days are getting better every day, and some who are willing to find him as his son-in-law have also gradually got some, but at that time Qi Sheng was not in charge of the elders, and was fascinated by an educated youth in the village who was really beautiful. Although the work was not very good, Qi Sheng still wanted to marry her.

The female educated youth had a hard time, her father did not support her death while fighting, and her mother was sent to another village to go to the countryside for reform. Logically, they came together.

At that time, the villagers joke that Qi Sheng’s color was fascinating and superficial. He had fallen out with his family’s brothers, and he married an out-of-town daughter-in-law who had no foundation.

At that time, Qi Sheng was young and vigorous, thinking that he could make a good life for himself.

In the first two years, Qi Sheng ’s life was really good. His wife looked good and she loved cleanliness. Although she could n’t earn a few centimeters in the field, her family was always clean and tidy. Big fat boy, the family is happy and happy, and the career outside is not bad. The work in the field is not to mention, and you can go to the restaurant to help you work.

In short, because Qi Sheng’s hard work, the family of three is not only not hungry in this generally unsatisfied year, but also occasionally eats meat.

It is a pity that there are not two years in good life. When his wife gave birth to a second son, she unfortunately died of childbirth. He hadn’t waited until he was relieved from his sadness. The prison, although he did not participate and did not know, but because of his close relationship with the cook, he was completely blacklisted by that restaurant.

The family was not smooth one after another, and Qi Sheng looked at the little son still in the baby’s infant and was not happy.

At that time, he went to work on the ground during the day, and the two children asked the sister-in-law next door to help take it, but each time they returned home without a hot meal, they had to take care of the two sons to eat and drink.

Fortunately, he still has a lot of strength and earns a lot of work in the field, but he is a good hand. The young girl can’t look down on him, but there are also widows who have had a hard time or a girl who is a little wrong.

Qi Sheng couldn’t stand the busy days outside the house. After being introduced, he married Zhang Fen, a young widow in the next village.

Zhang Fen is also a life-stricken. Her first husband was lazy and did not like to beat people. She was aborted twice at a young age and had no ability to have children. Qi Sheng already had two sons. Don’t care about this, Zhang Fen is really not good to find better conditions than Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng is quite satisfied with Zhang Fen, although not as pretty as his first daughter-in-law, but at least looks pretty, and can work hard at home, as well as being diligent at home, because knowing that she will not have children in the future will also affect his two sons. well.

The husband and wife live together, and life is getting better.

Until the youngest son was eight years old, Qi Xiangnan and Zhang Fen and his mother went to the town to catch up with the market. Unfortunately, Zhang Fen was killed by a passing tractor.

When Qi Sheng learned of the news, in addition to the little son who was sitting beside Zhang Fen’s body, there were only some onlookers watching.

The tractor was gone for a long time, and Qi Sheng could not find the culprit and had to bury the second daughter-in-law.

Originally, he just felt that his life was unlucky, but I do n’t know when the village began to spread rumors about his younger son ’s life. They said there were noses and eyes. Whatever they were walking in a row, Zhang Fen was directly killed. The son didn’t have anything at all, and he said that when his daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, it was obviously that the second child should be more relaxed, but died directly from dystocia …

Qi Sheng had felt that his life was awkward, and now listening to these gossips, it seems that he has found the truth, and he has become more eccentric to his elder son and less concerned about this younger son.

Because of the rumors of the youngest son, no one was willing to marry him anymore, Qi Sheng was also a little bit stubborn, and the father and son thrashed their lives.

However, because of Qi Sheng’s eccentricity, Qi Xiangnan did almost all the housework at home. The child was small at the time, because those rumors became sensitive and inferior. He was obedient to Qi Sheng’s arrangement department, and his elder brother had called him by all means, and he was not annoyed.

Fortunately, Qi Sheng also knew that the child was his own son. Apart from partiality, he did not let him lack food and clothing. He was willing to go to school and Qi Sheng did not intentionally leave him home.

Qi Xiangdong’s second year of high school dropped out of school and went home, followed Qi Sheng to learn some cooking skills, and occasionally went out to work for others, but did not last long. Compared with the hard-working younger brother, he was much lazy.

Qi Xiangdong lived a half-nibbly life, but one day he suddenly heard that his brother was admitted to college and was a golden phoenix flying out of a chicken nest.

Qi Xiangdong walking on the road has some murmurs from the unhappy villagers, what is the golden phoenix flying out of the chicken nest! His brother is Golden Phoenix, what is he? Native chicken in the henhouse?

Qi Xiangdong, unhappy with his face, walked home unpleasantly. He heard that his brother, who had always been honest and obedient, did not even shout, and asked him directly, “How about Dad?”

Qi Xiangnan, who had just received the admission notice, was upset and wanted to tell his dad the news as soon as possible. He thought that his dad was a competitive character. Now that he has given him a face, will his dad know if he will Like him.

The brothers had a bad relationship, and Qi Xiangdong often bullied him. Qi Xiangnan hadn’t called his brother for a long time, so this time it was customary to ignore the title.

Both of them didn’t care before, but this time Qi Xiangdong felt uncomfortable when he thought his brother was called Golden Phoenix. He was careful and jealous at the moment. He felt that his brother didn’t put him in his eyes. foot.

Qi Xiangnan, who was holding an admission letter in his hand, was a little bit angry. Although he didn’t fight back, he couldn’t help but ask: “During the day, what are you crazy about!”

It’s a pity that “Crazy” Qi Xiangdong not only did not see his brother admit that he didn’t say anything wrong, but also found that Little Bunny actually dared to hit him today!

Looking at the admission notice held by Qi Xiangnan, Qi Xiangdong disdainfully said, “Why, dare you take me to the university if you think you can go to college?”

After talking about grabbing the thin piece of paper in Qi Xiangnan’s hand, he didn’t say to tear it in half.

Qi Xiangnan didn’t expect Qi Xiangdong to be so excessive. He carefully picked up the notice that was thrown on the ground and put it away. Qi Xiangdong gave him a punch while he rushed inadvertently.

The two brothers twinkled together, not looking at Qi Xiangdong looking at the strong, and Qi Xiangnan did n’t ask for anything. Both of them were more than 1.8 meters tall. Although Qi Xiangnan looked thin, his strength was not small. .

This time Qi Xiangnan was cruel again. Qi Xiangdong’s face was blue and purple.

When Qi Sheng came back, the two hadn’t finished playing, but looking at the eldest son pressed on the ground, Qi Sheng subjectively began to bias Qi Xiangdong subjectively.

Qi Xiangdong is also a good hand to complain, adding a little bit of oil and vinegar, Ren Qi Xiangnan how to explain, Qi Sheng feels that the younger son is proud to start crazy.

Looking at his younger son who didn’t know “repent”, Qi Sheng said directly: “I don’t need to read this school anymore. I dare to be lawless before the wings are stiff!”

In recent years, Qi Xiangnan has suffered no more grievances and has not shown it. Now he looks at his dad indiscriminately. He obviously took out the torn notice. His dad still faces Qi Xiangdong.

Some unbearable people did not apologize as usual, put the notice in their arms, ran out with their heads blank, thinking about the wrongs and injustices they had suffered over the years, and they were hit by the passing truck without paying attention Right now.

When Qi Xiangnan woke up again, his lower body was unconscious …

From heaven to **** but nothing more than that, Qi Xiangnan, who was paralyzed in bed, became a waste person. At first, Qi Sheng had some regrets, but he gradually lost patience to take care of a paralyzed person. .

It happened that the driver paid a lot of money to their family. Qi Sheng did not want to stay at home and watch a half-dead man. With the money and early savings, he planned to go out to do some business and leave the elder son at home to look after the younger son.

Qi Sheng is free and easy, regardless of whether the two sons are in a harmonious relationship, and does not want to paralyze the little son in bed. If there is no caring person to take care of it, what should be done in the future life.

About half a year before Qi Sheng left home, Qi Sheng received news of his elder son, but it was news of his younger son’s death.

Qi Sheng was silent for a long time when he saw the news. Without saying much, he went home and buried his young son in a low-key manner, and left the village with his elder son …

****

Qi Sheng recalled the plot received and looked at the giggling child in front of him. The only comfort was that the child would be protected by him in the future, and he would never be wronged again.
