The uncle went from his parents to the marriage cheating, from a state cadre to a farmer, and the eldest brother I
Our village is a small village in Juxian County, but in the last century there were many big cadres and some senior officers of the army. In the early days of liberation, my uncle once entered Shandong Normal School with the first grade in the county, and after graduation, he was assigned to be a teacher in a middle school in Juxian County.
Before my uncle went to work, my uncle betrothed him in the East Village, and after marriage, my uncle went to the county town to teach. Soon, the eldest aunt gave birth to a son, named Dunzi.
Because of his good teaching, the uncle was willing to go forward, joined the party, and entered the county education bureau and became a state cadre. At that time, there were many families in our village, one worker and one farmer, and the county town was more than 30 miles away from the hometown, and most of them went home once a week or half a month and then went to work. He brought enough pancakes from home for a week or half a month, but the uncle hardly came home, and sometimes he didn't see anyone for half a year.
Listening to my parents, my aunt went to the county town one day and saw something she shouldn't have seen. There was a woman living in the uncle's dormitory, who was cooking on fire, and the aunt immediately understood, and in a fit of anger, she sued the superior leader, in that era, the relationship between men and women was fatal, and the uncle was dismissed from public office and went to the countryside to work as a farmer.
After the uncle returned home, his temperament changed greatly, after drinking wine and pouring sorrow every day, he fought with his aunt, and every time he beat his aunt to death, and the eldest son Dunzi was also beaten every day, anyway, it was not pleasing to the eye.
All of the above is what I heard the adults say after our family moved back to their hometowns in that era.
After the uncle returned home, there were two women and three men, plus a total of 6 children, in my memory, the uncle was a very conceited person, tall, very Sven look. He would often tell us some Tang poems, tell us some small stories, like to drink, get drunk every time, and then scold the street, sometimes lying on the street, pants pulling pants to pee. More is to fight with the aunt, the scolding is particularly ugly, and the hands are more commonplace, for which the aunt has drunk medicine, hanged herself, and jumped over the reservoir. But I still think that the aunt is scaring people, or in order to win the pity of relatives and friends, drink medicine and hang herself, I don't know, but I often follow the aunt to watch her jump into the reservoir, each time crying, while dragging the long cavity like singing: "I ~ want ~ jump ~ water ~ reservoir ~ ah ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~", crying if singing like a depression. Later, I learned that all the women in the old family cry for a long time, including crying spirits, that is, crying while singing, and when everyone cries together, they can hear the effect of harmony.
The aunt walked around the street like this, and every street went around. But the reservoir is actually very close in a straight line, so the people in the village come out to persuade and drag them home. Every month, it will be repeated to stage the drinking of medicine to hang and jump the reservoir.
Uncle hit the pier big brother, that is to beat to death, hanging on the beam with a whip, or with a stick, the eldest brother went down to Kanto at the age of 15, until he got married outside and had a child, only to go home once, the big brother and the uncle are very similar, including like to drink, drunk, drunk on the street, the big brother beat the son left for the uncle, and then took the northeast wife back to Shenyang.
Now I think that the family's genes are very strong, the children of the uncle's family have achieved nothing, but in the grandchildren, there are two doctors and a graduate student, and two 985, one in a hospital in Shanghai, one in a research institute in Nanjing, and the daughter of the eldest sister's family, a government office in Shanghai.
Ten years ago, I often went back to my hometown, and my uncle always called me my old nephew, and now my uncle pulls a row of cars, collects a rag, and makes a small amount of money for wine. Every time I will take a few bottles of wine, when my mother is alive, she will bring some money to the uncle's family, see the wine, the uncle is open on the spot, if it is a tin bottle cap, the uncle will also be eager to bite open directly with his teeth, liquor directly to drink half a bottle, and then the words began to be more, all kinds of cynicism, all kinds of look down, but although there are many words, do not start to beat people.
Three days before the uncle died, I heard the second brother say that the uncle in the county ICU has been more than ten days, the specific cause of the disease I do not know, did not go to inquire carefully, the money for hospitalization, most of them are given by the grandchildren, of which the second son said, how much money he took, several grandchildren are still filial piety, but the aunt still feels that the uncle should die at home, so, on the second day I went, I took the uncle home from the ICU. I saw the uncle lying naked on a door panel of the door, the door panel was cushioned with bricks underneath, the uncle's eyes were always closed, his body was bronze, and every few minutes he was twitching, and the door panels under the shock were clicking.
The uncle is dead after all, except for the eldest brother of dunzi, the children and grandchildren have returned, giving the uncle a big funeral.
More than a year after my uncle passed away, I went back to my hometown again to visit my father's grave, and I saw the eldest brother Mound, who was limping on one leg, and no matter where he went, he always carried a bottle of wine in his hand or pocket, and when he could go, he was slightly drunk and said something inconspicuous. A sentence that my mother said was exactly what came true: The Kong family has produced a loser in a lifetime! When my mother said this, she was always indignant, because she said one in her life, including my father.
The eldest brother of the pier dragged the somewhat disabled leg, limped to me, deliberately blocked my gaze with his body, afraid that other brothers would see it, and his face was full of shame and caution: Brother, you are coming, you see your eldest brother is now mixed like this, can you give your eldest brother a pound of wine?
In Qingdao, I use WeChat and Alipay, but I still bring some cash back to my hometown. I took a 50 out of my pocket because I knew that the drinker would throw it in the vat as much as he gave him. The eldest brother quietly grabbed the money by hand and pretended to inadvertently insert his hand into his pocket.
That time I came home vaguely knew that I had heard something about the uncle and the pier. Before the uncle died, Dunzi returned to his hometown several times, here to mention dunzi's son, my uncle raised, because the uncle's family is poor, this eldest grandson had to go to a secondary school, after graduation in a coastal city in Shandong to find a local wife, now the small life is very good. Dunzi's eldest brother's hukou is still in his hometown, his legs have been disabled for life because of a car accident, and it is said that he has compensated a part of the money, most of which has been squandered by the eldest brother. The wife is also divorced, and the children find a street cleaning job for the father in the city where they live. The eldest brother was dismissed because of his frequent alcoholism. I ran back and forth to my hometown in several cities, and once I went back to my hometown to get drunk, and I had a stick in my hand (stick: the old family's name, that is, a wooden stick), and went straight to the uncle's house, and when I was the door in the uncle's house, I took a long stick, knocked the uncle to the ground, knocked the uncle's ankle hard with the stick, and asked while hitting: What did you have to lose your temper earlier? Get up and hit me.
The uncle's mouth kept saying forgiveness.
Let me write this little article, because the second brother came to the phone, told me that the eldest brother died, more than a year after the uncle died, the eldest brother returned to his hometown, lived in the uncle's house, just waited for the aunt, the eldest brother was good, is drinking and scolding the street to play drunk madness, has not changed, than the uncle has more than that, last month's evening, someone saw the big brother sitting on a roof hill, the wine bottle was placed next to him, the big brother's back was against the wall, the head was pulled on the chest, people found that the body was stiff.
