Doomsdays - "Mutilated" childhood chronicles

"Got it" Youlan quietly replied to the other party in the chat box, and a trace of unhappiness flashed by

Urged to marry again, Youlan has not remembered how many times this is the first time to be notified of the blind date, fortunately this time the father is after greeting his own number to the other party, this should be regarded as a concession, but Youlan does not know in his heart that such a compromise is only in exchange for the relaxation of the relationship with the family when it is worth it...

Youlan looked out the window, the lights were on, the bustling crowd, actually looked at the origin, trance back to childhood...

30 years ago, a wealthy family in a small county town fell to the ground as white as a lotus root, with big eyes that were particularly conspicuous on the pink face, and looked at the people around her without crying or making trouble

The old Li family at the west end of the village had a girl, and for a time the people in the village knew, and the relatives and the ones who did not kiss came, like watching something rare, but it was indeed rare. Old Li Tou is a typical son preference, old Li Tou daughter-in-law because the first two are girls, not less angry and beaten, good in contention, the third child finally gave birth to a son, originally wanted to have a son again, who knows is another girl, old Li Tou does not want to see, it will be sent directly, if it is not the old Li Tou daughter-in-law begging for less to eat and work more, this is barely left, but these sisters have to let Xiao Li, who let him be the "only son"

Xiao Li is handsome, ten miles and eight townships know, in the old Li couple for more than two years of struggle, but also earned a family business, the village head family lived in a small building, but also bought a piece of land waiting for Xiao Li to get married to build a new house, in the prime of the county to buy a curtain to do business, in that era is a well-known rich man, the matchmaker will be the Li family threshold broken, crazy to Xiao Li Zhang Luo daughter-in-law, after all, the rich family to give hard money will not be less.

I don't know how many, Xiao Li is finally engaged, Wang Meijuan in the next county, although not a stunning beauty, but tall figure, big eyes, or a high school education, can also be regarded as worthy.

In the noisy gong and drum, the old Li family married their daughter-in-law in a pompous manner, basically the whole village came, in that era, the villagers were able to catch up with the New Year's food, the elbows like flowing water, chickens, and fish, which can be regarded as a good satisfaction.

Because the little two have just married, they directly moved out to live without anyone to take care of them, and the old Li couple was not at ease, so they arranged for the two small families to live on the second floor, and the old Li couple to live on the first floor. Although the old Li daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law, she still pointed to her daughter-in-law to renew the incense for the Li family, so she did a good job of asking the little two to eat three times a day, and the housework was not done at all.

In the blink of an eye, three years after marriage, Wang Meijuan's stomach did not move at all, the mother-in-law did not say anything, but Wang Meijuan was not a fool, the mother-in-law said that the next door Wang Aunt was a grandmother, yesterday the village east head Liu Uncle called to drink the grandson's full moon wine, for a time the old Li family became the talking point of the villagers after tea and dinner, most of them are jokes The old Li family has no grandchildren in Dalian, and no matter how much they earn, they must not be left to their grandsons.

Old Li's daughter-in-law did not know when, the same nerves begged god to worship The Buddha, hoping that the bodhisattva could give the Li family a spirit, perhaps The heavens were touched, in the sixth year of Xiao Li's marriage, Wang Meijuan finally became pregnant!

The family ancestors of the same offering, and even in that era of inconvenient transportation, but also went to the county several times to do inspections, Wang Meijuan's limelight, at that time in the village can be said to be the same for a while, there is a thrilling October pregnancy, but after all, traffic restrictions, at noon in a summer, Wang Meijuan gave birth to the Li family's first child at home - a girl

It may be that the progress of the times makes people unable to enter, or perhaps it is the release of the depression brought about by the marriage of a few years without a queen, and the old Li actually celebrated the birth of his granddaughter with firecrackers and personally named it - Youlan, the grandfather's love is deep and strong, as if he wants to make up for the love he owed to his daughter before

From the age of one and a half weaning, Youlan was forced to become Grandpa's "fart worm", Grandpa handed over the family business to Xiao Li and his wife, enjoyed the joy of heaven, every day is to take Youlan in and out of the streets and alleys of the county, delicious and fun, new clothes and new shoes, as long as Grandpa feels that Youlan likes, and Youlan wants, Grandpa will buy it all for her

When Youlan was two years old, Grandpa specially made a day's car to go to the provincial capital to buy a doll for her, big eyes and Youlan are as good-looking as Youlan; when he was three years old, the whole family did not know the case, Old Li himself made a day and a night train to a municipality directly under the central government, just to give Youlan a children's bicycle, that is when the two grandchildren watched TV, Youlan said a really good look. Grandpa carried the bicycle to the home, placed in the open space in front of his shop, can't wait to let Youlan try, this gift is really wonderful, not only let Youlan's friends are pestering her to ride, the adults around are also envious, this was a big price item at the time, the key small county people in addition to on tv, basically have not seen the physical object, you can see how rare it is

Youlan's childhood was soaked in love and money, when she was too young, almost no impression when she grew up, and what can evoke memories is the photos in those records and the stories of the elders

Youlan silently returned to the chair, picked up the coffee around him, and took a shallow sip, "How good it has been at that time" Silently crossed a trace of sadness in her heart
