There is a father in our village, surnamed Chang, who is 75 years old and suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Last night, Chang Dad knocked my door, I opened the door, Chang Dad said a word, I listened to it and burst into tears.
When Chang Dad was young, he was tall and handsome, in charge of the village, and he went south to the north to break into the rivers and lakes. At that time, there were two enterprises in our village, one made brushes and one made strips of ink. In the 90s, the brush business was very hot, sold abroad, the brush led to the sale of ink, at that time was not the current bottled ink, is the kind of strip, inlaid with gold characters, in the Yan pool grinding ink. (People under the age of 30 should have never seen that kind of ink.)
At that time, Chang Dad was the main salesman of the brush factory, and he went to Beijing and Guangdong, like running a vegetable garden. Chang Dad is well-informed and is a relatively avant-garde figure in the village. Chang Dad's marriage was arranged by his parents, Chang Dad's wife was called Eun Jiao, who looked very average, short in stature, had no culture, and was two years older than Chang Dad. I don't know how they got married.
Chang Dad and E Jiao Yu have never quarreled in their lives, the reason is that Eun Jiao listened to Chang Dad's words, Chang Dad said east, she will never stand in the west. Chang Dad is also very good to Eun Seol, every time he goes out and comes back, he always has to bring gifts to Eun Seol, and the whole village envies Ejiao's life. But once, when Eun Seol said a word, I knew that, in fact, Eun Seol was so sad. Eun Seol said, "He's good to me, but he and I have long been related." ”
I didn't understand the "kinship" that Eun Seol said before, but later, I figured out that Chang Dad and Eun Seol had separated under one roof thirty years ago. Later, I heard that Chang Dad had a phase outside for decades. Eun Seol also knows this is good, but she has no way, the only thing she does is to cut Chang Daddy's money in her hands, and the rest, she can't control. Her biggest worry was that Chang Dad wanted to divorce her, but Chang Dad never mentioned the word divorce.
In terms of money, Chang Dad also met the requirements of Eun Seol, he did not carry money on him, and all the money in the family was handed over to Eun Seol. Because of this, Eun Seol has a good relationship with Chang Daddy outside, and can't catch any handle of responsibility. Of course, separation is also a handle, but men reach a certain age, like to be clean, and sleep at night without being disturbed, which is also understandable.
Once, Eun Seol tempted (with threats) Chang Dad: "If you want a divorce, I will die." ”
Chang Dad glanced at him: "Are you nervous?" Say that! ”
Eun Seol was relieved, knowing that Chang Dad would not divorce.
Not divorcing is not divorcing, but what is the difference between not divorcing and divorcing? It is difficult for two people to say two words a day at home. Eun Seol likes to talk about whose flower pig has fallen, whose daughter-in-law is pregnant; Chang Dad talks about South Korea's change of president, and Qi Zhi Bing also opens vibrato...
To use a popular saying, the two of them are never on the same channel.
When Eun Seol was 68 years old, she was paralyzed by a stroke, and Chang Dad took good care of her, and the meals and tea were delivered to her hands. After Eun Seol's stroke, her personality changed, and she was afraid that Chang Dad would go out to "steal fishy", and she was eager to be with Chang Dad every day. But there is no filial piety in front of the bed for a long time, how can Chang Daddy be so good? Chang Dad still went to square dancing every day, or went to play cards, and one play was an afternoon.
Eun Seol doesn't use her phone and just relies on a TV set to pass the time. Slowly, she was thinking wildly, as long as Chang Dad went out, she would cry and curse, which was not the eucalyptus of the past. (People's personalities really change because of changes in the environment.) ）
For eun Seol's cursing, Chang Dad didn't care. Chang Dad went home every day to cook, and delivered the meals to Eun Jiao's hands on time; bathed and washed clothes; no matter how Eun Jiao cried, he was silent, did not argue, did not refute, just like the shield installed in his ear, deaf.
Once, Eun Seol really couldn't stand Chang Daddy's cold violence, grabbed a teacup on the table, smashed it at Chang Daddy, hit Chang Daddy's brain shell, she was scared to death, thinking that Chang Daddy would kill her, or poison her, for a long time, she did not dare to eat the meals made by Chang Daddy.
The above is the marital status of Chang Dad. That's not the story I'm going to tell. I'm going to tell the story of Chang Dad's second marriage.
Let's talk about my neighborhood relationship with Chang Dad.
My impression of Chang Dad has always been fixed when I was a child, when my parents went out to do something and stored me in Chang Dad's house. That day at dinner, Eun Seol fried a plate of meat, put the meat bowl in front of her own son, and was scolded by Chang Dad, who changed the meat bowl to me.
Because of that incident, I have always regarded Chang Dad as my own relative.
Later, I joined the work, and every time I went back to my hometown, I would visit my father. Chang Dad likes to drink, and I will send him a pair of wines every year.
One year, There was a host named "Qiu Xiao" on Hunan Satellite TV who was on fire, and Chang Dad always said that I looked like Qiu Xiao, and every time I went home, he said "Our family Qiu Xiao is back";
Later, Li Xiang was angry, and Chang Dad said that I looked like Li Xiang.
Back to the point.
Shortly after Eun Seol's death, one day, when I returned to my hometown, Chang Dad came to me and asked, "Crane, I'm alone now, I want to find a wife, do you think you want to?" ”
I said of course I wanted it!
When Chang Dad heard this, he immediately became happy and said, "Then I want her to come over immediately!" ”
A few days later, there was really a foreign woman named "Fenfen" who came, and everyone knew that Fenfen had been waiting for Chang Daddy's friendship for decades.
Chang Dad wants to find a wife, why should he discuss with me? I thought, perhaps, that he had already made me his biological daughter.
Chang Dad and Fenfen Jiao were licensed to marry.
After Chang Dad got married, it was like a changed person, becoming Fenfen's heel, and he had endless words with Fenfen.
Fate always likes to tease people. A few years after Chang Dad and Fenfen Jiao, Fenfen Jiao suddenly died of cerebral hemorrhage. Fenfen was cremated, and the ashes were taken home by her own son. On the day Fenfen Jiao's ashes were transported away, Chang Dad suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
Last night, Chang Dad hammered the door of my house, I opened the door, Chang Dad asked: "Crane, is Fen jiao in your house?" ”
My tears spurted out.
