In the corner of the dark and cramped attic, my mother finally found my father, and like a mad lion, she rushed up angrily, grabbed my father's body and beat and cursed: "You old man, Damn it, the stinking bastard of hell, cooperating with the boss to hide from me.
Hiding, do you think I can't find you, a dead man who deserves to go to hell?
You haven't come home for three days, how long are you going to gamble hiding here? I don't care about the big and small things at home, and don't work hard (meaning not to do farm work). I know that you are gambling here I will kill you, a dead person who doesn't want a home, doesn't work, and only knows how to gamble"
Mom scolded and beat him, and beat Dad to death with all her strength.
At the beginning, my father did not fight back because of his wrongdoing and guilty conscience. But when he was beaten by his mother, he just punched him back, hitting his mother hard on the face.
Mom let out a wail, and fell backwards.
Wei Linjiao screamed when she saw it, and wanted to go to catch her mother, but missed her foot and woke up.
Wei Linjiao felt a cold sweat when she woke up, her hands and feet were cold. Thinking of the plot in the dream, I panicked, so I got out of bed in the dark, but alarmed my sister on the opposite bed.
"Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night?" Sister Wei Qiujiao's voice was hazy, full of sleepiness.
"I" Wei Linjiao wanted to speak, but felt uncomfortable with the interference of her throat, so she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, sat back on the bed, looked at the dark opposite side, but couldn't see anything.
At night in a small mountain village, if there is no moon, you can't see your fingers.
Wei Qiujiao felt Wei Linjiao's heart ups and downs, and knew that she had something on her mind, so she hugged the quilt and sat up, looked in Wei Linjiao's direction and asked, "What did you scream just now? The sound was so terrifying, did you have a nightmare?"
Wei Linjiao didn't answer, but thought for a while and asked: "Sister, when you were at home when you were young, did your parents often fight?"
""
Wei Qiujiao was silent for a while, then smiled: "It's not just our parents who often fight? Let me tell you, there are no husbands and wives in Dawei Village who don't fight.
Therefore, in order to leave this village, to live with dignity, and not to be beaten by my husband when I get married, I have to go to university no matter what, and I will not live in our Dawei Village. "
Wei Linjiao quickly said: "Sister, you will definitely be able to enter the university. In the future, I will also be admitted to the university like you, and leave here."
Wei Qiujiao smiled, then asked in silence for a while: "Did you just dream that your parents were fighting?"
"It's and it's not"
"What's the meaning?"
"Because my father and mother fought some time ago, my mother was not only knocked out by my father, but also had a nosebleed all over the place. At that moment, I thought my mother was going to die"
Speaking of this, Wei Linjiao still had lingering fears. If her mother was really beaten to death by her father like that, how would their family live in the future?
"I see." Wei Qiujiao nodded, knowing that Wei Linjiao was troubled by the frequent fights between her parents, she had a very real dream, and comforted her, "You don't have to worry, although Mom and Dad often fight, Dad won't really The one who beat my mother to death, because he knew that this family cannot live without a mother, and our brothers and sisters cannot live without a mother."
"But¡¡"
"It's nothing but, go to sleep. There are some things you don't understand when you are young, but you will know when you grow up."
She said and lay down, but heard Wei Linjiao muttering: "I will be twelve years old after the new year, and I will graduate from primary school in one semester, so I have grown up!"
Wei Qiujiao rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Of course Wei Linjiao didn't know that Wei Qiujiao had already laid back in bed and was about to sleep again. She had something on her mind, so she asked again: "Sister, mother said that there is something important to announce tomorrow, what do you think it is?"
Wei Qiujiao was a little annoyed: "What the hell? Let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. Now that you don't sleep in the middle of the night, I still have to sleep."
Wei Linjiao was reprimanded by her sister, and she didn't dare to say any more, so she went back to sleep in despair.
The next day, just before dawn, Wei Linjiao and Wei Qiujiao were woken up by their mother. After waking up, Wei Qiujiao hid in a place where no one was around to study because she had to do her best for the college entrance examination next July.
Wei Linjiao picked up two buckets of clothes from the family's bath last night and went to the small river behind the house to wash them.
Washing the whole family's clothes is one of the things she must do after getting up in the past few years.
It's winter vacation now, the water in the river is icy cold, even this can't stop Wei Linjiao from washing clothesDetermination. Because the family is poor and the population is large, including the grandmother, there are nine people in total. A set of clothes for each person costs a lot of money, and the family cannot afford it.
Therefore, each of the six brothers and sisters has only two sets of good clothes that have not been patched, and they are changed and washed every day.
If it is rainy and cloudy, they will have to mend and mend their clothes. I don't know how many pennies they have mended. It's just that I can't hold my head up when I wear such clothes.
After Wei Linjiao finished washing her clothes, when she returned home, the whole family had already finished eating, and it was only waiting for her to announce important things after eating.
She was in a nervous mood, faintly feeling that something bad was going on, so she was not in the mood, took a few mouthfuls and then stopped eating.
Put away the bowls and chopsticks and put them on the stove for a while without washing them. When I turned around, I saw grandma, parents, sisters, brothers and sisters sitting around the dining table.
She walked over and sat down beside her younger brother, while her younger sister was hugged by her mother.
As soon as I sat down, I heard my mother say earnestly: "After the Chinese New Year, in order to have one more labor force, and because the family has no money for all of you to go to school together, so you have to drop out of five of your brothers and sisters and one of them will come out to help me work. Some money or labor. Only in this way can we strive to marry your eldest brother a wife next year."
The five brothers and sisters are referring to the elder sister Wei Qiuqiao, the second elder brother Wei Xing, and Wei Linjiao, as well as the younger brother Wei Feng and younger sister Wei Fangjiao.
Eldest brother Wei Shan is no longer studying, and he will be twenty after the new year, which is already the age when he must get a wife.
Sister Wei Qiujiao is sixteen this year, a senior in high school, and will be taking the college entrance examination in July after the Chinese New Year.
The second elder brother Wei Xing is 13 years old and is in the second grade of junior high school; Wei Linjiao is eleven years old and is in the fifth grade of primary school; the younger brother is nine years old and is in the third grade of primary school; the younger sister is seven years old and has just entered primary school.
Five brothers and sisters go to school at the same time, and the tuition fee is not a small sum, which is a super burden for parents. What's more, my family is not rich at all. I was nominated as a low-income household in the village, but I didn't make it every year.
The reason is that there are poorer people in the village. Wei Linjiao often wonders who is poorer than her family, which prevents her family from entering the subsistence allowance households, and cannot get a few pieces of cloth, ten catties of grain, and two catties of meat subsidies a year. .
At this time, when I heard my mother say that one of my brothers and sisters would drop out of school, I couldn't help but feel a jump in my heart. I wanted to immediately show that I would not drop out of school, but my sister said faster than her: "Mom, if you want to drop out of school, one person will help you do the work." , I think Lin Lin is the most suitable."
Wei Linjiao exclaimed excitedly: "How can I be the most suitable?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
