A true story
(i)
Every autumn, the third generation can smell a sad smell, very strong, just like the autumn rain is even more sad, just like Lan Lan's tears, rolling down on his heart one by one...
It also rained today, just like the day Lan Lan left the year, and the rain kept falling, sometimes big, sometimes small. The third descendant muttered to the sky: Where are you raining?
What is love? The third generation does not understand. But even the three descendants who do not understand love have ushered in their own love.
In the golden autumn of 1988, Sanhou was 24 years old and Lan Lan was 18 years old. In that era of love, they all behaved very calmly, that is, they absolutely could not show a trace of liking each other in front of outsiders.
"Lan, tonight my family's wheat is confiscated, I have to be in the scene for the night, can you come out?"
"No, I'm afraid my dad knows about breaking his leg."
"Look at your little bit of outing, just come out for half an hour, can't you?" I found five quail eggs in the field and quietly roasted them for you to eat at night. "
"Don't talk, my sister is looking at us!" Lan Lan nervously pulled out his leg and ran. Sanhousheng chewed a wheat root in his mouth, chewing and looking at the place where Lan Lan had disappeared until he couldn't see it.
"Lan, today it's my turn to herd cattle, who will put your cattle?"
"My sister."
"You change shifts with your sister, and we'll let you go together."
"No, my sister can't talk. Don't talk, Simao is staring at us both! "
Lan Lan pretended to rub shoulders with the three descendants, picking up the flat burden, and the thin shoulders picked up two buckets of water. Sanhousheng stared at the pained: "Just one meter five-five, I know that blindness can be done, and it is strange that the flat burden can grow tall." After the third queen finished muttering, he smiled, thinking of his height of one meter seven eight, and then looking at Lan Lan's back, he directly laughed. Looking at Lan Lan's distant back, Sanhousheng's face was full of gentleness.
"Three descendants, I'm going to town today, are you going?"
"Why didn't you say it earlier, I got potatoes today."
"Then forget it, I'm gone."
"Alas, don't go first, I'll change classes with the fourth generation to see if it works." Wait for me for a while, don't move!" The third descendant finished talking and ran away with a cigarette. Lan Lan looked at the monkey anxious look of the three queens and not only smiled.
Half an hour later, on the flat white sand road, a two-eight bicycle, two people, one tall and one short, told happy words.
Love is coming, can't stop it!
In the summer of 1989, everyone in the village basically knew that Sanhousheng and Lan lan were in love, and the last thing they knew was Lan Lan's father. The Three Later Generations family discussed the matter, and after discussion, they directly went to the matchmaker to propose to lanlan's family, but the result was categorically rejected by Li Youcai (Lan Lan's father). The reason for the refusal was that the three post-birth families were piled up with bare sticks, and the family was too poor to pay the dowry money that Li Youcai wanted.
It is said that the three-born family, the third-born mother has been dead for several years, except for the eldest son who married his wife, the second three-four-year-old students are lined up shoulder to shoulder, and the whole family is so poor that there are only four bare sticks left (plus the third-born father). Would Li Youcai dare to marry his daughter? Besides, Li Youcai is a well-known master who recognizes money and does not recognize people. When Li Youcai married his eldest daughter, he was stunned that he had squeezed the last old hen of his family. In order to avoid Li Youcai's stalking, the eldest daughter's in-laws' family moved to Wuchuan. However, Li Youcai himself said that his fate was good, who told people that there were three golden flowers in their homes! Li Youcai married his daughter to ask for a bride price, there is no rich enough bride price, in recent years, what did he take against the wall to sit under the tree to cool off?
Just when Li Youcai was looking for someone to talk to Lan Lan everywhere, Sanhou was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Sanhousheng found his uncle Dazhu, who had a good relationship with him in the village, borrowed a hundred pieces, and agreed with LanLan to elope on the second day of July. As a result, after Lan Lan's sister learned about this matter and told her parents, Li Youcai took his four brothers and blocked the station in the town and arrested Lan Lan. At the same time, li youcai brothers several live legs of the three queens.
Sanhousheng was forced to recuperate at home, and Lan Lan was also grounded at home by her father.
On July 16, the four big mouths of the matchmaker went to Lan Lan's house with a mouth to propose to lan lan, and booked Lan Lan with a bride price of two thousand yuan plus a cow. Li Youcai is afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so that the man's family has recently consummated marriage. At the same time, Li Youcai took Lan Lan under complete supervision, and the last hut was followed by Lan Lan's mother all the way.
The wedding date is set for the 22nd day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar.
On the night of July 18, Lan Lan swallowed her grandmother's bottle of annugil, and it was July 20 when she was rescued from the town hospital. Unable to save his tragic life, Lan Lan chose to live lightly, but unfortunately it was not so easy to die. At the same time, the third generation did not know anything about these things. The third-born father was afraid that his son would make trouble so that everyone could not reveal anything about Lan Lan. While Lan Lan was desperate, the time soon came to the day of marriage.
I don't know if Tiangong sensed the sadness of this day, but at dawn, a downpour fell from the sky, and it was not until eight o'clock that it was slightly small. Lan Lan was tied up by five flowers and pressed against the ox cart, and she saw the three queens with broken legs sitting on the ground in front of the ox cart. Sanhousheng overheard the news that Lan Lan was going to get married from the conversation between his brother and his father, and he even climbed with a rolling belt and blocked in front of the ox cart early. The thought of not seeing for many days sharpened the jaws of the two people, the rain mixed with tears, Lan Lan cried heart-rending, looking at the three descendants of the stump legs and feeling painful
"Lanlan, Lanlan."
"Three future generations, save me." "
Lan Lan cried while shouting, his eyes were already swollen into walnuts, and the three queens were fiercely incompetent.
"Li Youcai, you let her go, I fought with you today."
San housheng dragged his broken leg and struggled in the mud, trying to go forward to rescue Lan Lan, but was pushed to the ground by Li Youcai. Li Youcai casually took off a pair of socks patched with a thousand layers of patches on his feet and stuffed them into Lan Lan's mouth, and shouted at the stunned man behind him and the four big mouths: "Why don't you go fast?" Let's go!"
"Li Youcai, you must not die." I'm going to fight with you. Lan Lan..." Sanhousheng shouted with tears in his heart and lungs, and the rain became heavier and heavier.
"Ah, ah, ah..." Lan Lan cried in a mess, and his gagged mouth kept shouting.
The bull's head was led, Lan Lan was pressed, the third generation was dragged by his family, and the women in the village who liked to watch the liveliness sobbed... It all comes together into a tragic song.
When everything was drowned in wave after wave of heavy rain, Sanhousheng was resisted by his brother and returned to his own kang.
Three later generations can not afford to be sick, originally a thin person with thick eyebrows and big eyes can call the owl brother and brother. The third post-birth father looked at the three children lying on the kang, and the breath of qi stuck in the throat and did not come and was sick.
"Fourth, go to your sister-in-law to borrow two hundred pieces, and find two carpenters to order two coffins." The third queen father weakly commanded.
"Dad, what are you talking about, I'm not going." The fourth generation of students answered firmly with tears in their eyes.
"Go, Daddy has also thought about it, our family is in this situation, and living is also troublesome." Your third brother has a good villain, and your father will follow. Starting today, your third brother will eat a few bites of rice. Just do what Daddy says, go! "
The third-born father squeezed his eyebrows and eyes toward the fourth child, and also squeezed out a few tear eggs. Illness is true, tears are also true, poor parents in the world, looking at the body has always been healthy three children can not afford to be sick, the three after the birth of the father is also helpless to make this decision. The fourth descendant instantly understood, and immediately ran so that even the shadow was gone. The fourth generation then invited two carpenters, and several people staged a bitter love drama together, and finally exchanged a sentence from the third generation: Daddy, I want to eat a bowl of hand-rolled noodles, plus two poached eggs.
The third generation came back to life, but he could no longer see the smile that a young man should have on his face. The days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was autumn again, and the light rain knocked on the glass, and the scene seemed to appear in front of the eyes of the three descendants.
The rain, just like this, seems to be particularly heavy this autumn. Sanhousheng spread his palms and received a drop of rain, crystal clear, just like Lan Lan's watery eyes.
Len, where did it rain?
(ii)
A few years later...
"Third son, tomorrow early, bring everything you should bring, don't let people pick out the reason again."
"Fuck, ugly like eighty thousand, there are a lot of problems." Annoyed that his grandfather did not want the eight lambs of the king even if he beat the bare stick. Sanhousheng scolded in chagrin.
"Don't say that later. Don't look at how old you are, it's good that someone marries you. This daughter-in-law is so easy, immediately through the door, and then the whole moth, I can't spare you! "It is the eldest brother of the three-year-old family who has the right to speak. If you have power, you have a pair of industrious hands, and your life is still quite generous. The wife of the third queen is all based on the right to marry, and the right to be a matchmaker for the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, so that the three queens of the family four walls have fished an old girl and will be married tomorrow.
It is said that the new daughter-in-law born after the third generation is notoriously powerful, and no one in the eight villages in ten miles is interested. Long ugly not to mention, there are more things. All the details of the marriage must be satisfactory to her, or everything is not to be discussed. After the third generation was angry several times to vomit blood, he said that he couldn't say that people really didn't want to marry. But he couldn't stand the family's impatience, if he hit the bare stick, his father didn't want to live.
The third queen saw the back of the eldest brother leaving, and then stepped out of the courtyard.
"Where are you going in the middle of the night on this dark day?"
"I breathe and my heart is suffocated."
"If there's anything to hold back, let me into the house." Don't think I don't know your little bit of careful thinking. The third queen's father said angrily, blocking in front of the third queen. The third queen did not say a word from his father's armpit and ran away with a cigarette.
"Don't make trouble for me, be careful I break your leg." The father of the third generation shouted at the place where the third generation left.
The moon was hanging dangling in the sky, the leaves rustled in the autumn wind, and the shadows of people on the scene were shaking, all busy collecting grain. Sanhousheng involuntarily walked in the direction of Li Youcai's family, because Lan Lan had returned.
It is said that after Lan Lan was married to the mouth by the evil Li Youcai, the night of the cave flower candle knew that the person he was married was already forty and five, named Liu Lame. Lan Lan looked at the black man in front of him terrified, and when he was discharged from the hospital to pee, Lan Lan aimed the blade he had prepared in advance at his wrist.
After the six cripples were tossed by Lan Lan several times, there was very little money left in the coal kiln. Although his legs are crippled, his heart and eyes are not bad, and he is good for Lan Lan. I was afraid to melt in my mouth, and I was afraid of falling in my hand. Lan Lan has been through the door for three months or a yellow flower girl. Lan Lan had been unable to let down his guard against the six cripples, so he waited for the opportunity to flee.
"Six lame, you have a little bit of strength, when can you be a father?"
"Oh, I can't see her down!"
The brothers in the same village worked hard to pour wine into the six lames, and the drunken six lame finally made up his mind.
In the autumn of the following year, Lan Lan gave birth to a son, and the six lame almost knelt down for Lan Lan, crawling under Lan Lan's feet and crying a handful of tears.
At the end of the third year, Lan Lan gave birth to another son. The days went on unhurriedly, and perhaps everyone bowed their heads to life, including Li Youcai.
Li Youcai really lowered his head this time, he couldn't even resist his own head, and he couldn't find any disease after seeking medical treatment. Since forcibly selling Lan Lan, Li Youcai's spirit has not been as good as before. Some people say that Li Youcai is much cooler under the big tree, and he has kept up with the tree spirit, and some people say that Li Youcai beat the Mandarin duck to invite heaven to punish him. When there were many opinions, Li Youcai also asked the Great Immortal to send the Great God to toss countless times and spend countless money, and finally his body and bones completely collapsed. Li Youcai had a premonition that he had little left in his days, and he no longer tossed and turned when he was as rich as his fate, and he slept peacefully with stinky socks that did not know how much money he had installed, but when he was awake, his mouth kept chanting: Lan, Daddy is sorry for you.
Lan Lan has never returned since he got married, Li Youcai has written countless letters, and Lan Lan has not returned once. No, this time it was Li Youcai who took out two hundred yuan from the stinky socks and stuffed it with the three women, so that the three women would bring Lan Lan back no matter what, or he would die blind.
Just in this autumn, Lan Lan returned, his thin body bulging belly, his face full of vicissitudes. I heard that Li Youcai grabbed Lan Lan's hand and cried vigorously, so that he did not want to die. Lan Lan returned for two days, and Li Youcai cried for two days. The whole village knows about this matter, including the three descendants.
The third queen looked at the courtyard of Lan Lan's family, and his eyes were full of longing and sadness...
Just as the Third Queen turned around in disappointment, he saw Lan Lan walk out.
Late autumn is so cold, the autumn wind is so willful, and two bitter people meet like this. Sanhousheng gently opened his arms and hugged the long-lost person.
"Lan, have you had a good life in the past few years?"
"It was ok."
"That's good!" The two were relatively speechless, Lan Lan didn't say much, looking at his bulging belly between the two, Lan Lan felt even more self-conscious. Sanhousheng hugged Lan Lan tightly, and then released his hands.
"Lan, I'll marry my daughter-in-law tomorrow."
"Well, I know."
"I'll dig a hole in my heart to hide you."
"……"
The three queens were gone, leaving only Lan Lan standing in the wind trembling...
The next day, the sky had just been dark, and the family of the three queens got up and got busy. With a dual-card tape recorder, Sailor sang throughout the village.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the third queen married his daughter-in-law back home. The nearly twenty-seven-year-old third-born student was out of order.
Li Youcai completed the last journey of his life on such a beautiful day, and he handed Lan Lan the smelly socks in his arms while he was breathing.
Lan Lan cried, and his eyes, which felt that there were no tears, finally shed tears. Li Youcai left, taking away Lan Lan's sorrow...
