In our village, we often see an old woman who picks up rags, unkempt, pushing a worn-out tricycle with great effort, and her husband is called Zhang Ermao, so everyone calls her Grandma Ermao.
Grandma Ermao is more than seventy years old this year, two sons, the eldest son is called Youcai, the second son is called Youfu, two daughters, the eldest daughter is called Rice, and the younger daughter is called Xiaomi.
Listen to the people in the village, when Grandma Ermao was young, her appearance was particularly beautiful, she should be regarded as the "village flower" in the village, she was also in good shape, walking on the road, the return rate was particularly high, and she often encountered some small hooligans flirting.
For this reason, Grandma Ermao often scolds men for not being a good thing, but the clear-eyed people in the village know at a glance that there is more than one woman with a good figure and good appearance, why do others specifically pick her to flirt, that is a fly that does not sting seamless eggs!
Ermao Grandpa is tall and handsome, but people are more honest, not good at words, and have no economic acumen, every day to guard their own acres and three points to live, Ermao grandma often scolded him is elm knots, three feet can not stomp a fart!
Sometimes, Grandma Ermao often goes out, ten days and a half months do not come home, others ask her what to do, she said to go out to run errands, others asked her what to do, she can't say it.
One summer, I was in the second year of junior high school, not far from our school, a village, every time the assembly sang a big drama, a classmate in our class is from that village, she invited a few of our good sisters to their village to catch the conference, we each brought two dollars, to the conference, first bought two cents of melon seeds in the pocket, eating and strolling.
When I was wandering around, I suddenly saw a familiar person, the second grandmother of our village, how could she be here, there was a bald man with a fat head and big ears next to her, the two of them talked and laughed, our village was more than a dozen miles away from here, in the era of going out by bicycle, the people on our side basically did not come to this side.
Xiaoying who came with me also saw, according to the generation, Grandma Ermao is Xiaoying's aunt, Xiaoying is her niece, Xiaoying saw this scene, her face immediately pulled down, took my hand and quickly ran away.
When I got home, I told the adults what I saw at the conference, and the adults said that I had heard that Grandma Ermao had a home in other places, but no one had ever seen it, and Grandpa Ermao had also asked Grandma Ermao, but Grandma Ermao didn't admit it.
But early the next morning, Ermao Ye shouted a few strong laborers in the village, as well as a few of his brothers, driving a tractor under the leadership of Xiao Ying, went to find Grandma Ermao, and when Grandma Ermao was found, she was eating eggs and fritters, and everyone in the village said that Grandma Ermao was a delicious and lazy woman who did not keep the way of women, and whoever gave her a piece of sugar could cheat away.
I heard that at that time, Grandma Ermao was still reluctant to come back, she felt that this family was richer than Ermao's family, had food and drink, and did not have to work, but the people still tied her back, and the man who took her in did not dare to stop it, because Ermao and Ermao's grandmother were people with marriage certificates.
After returning, Grandma Ermao also did not live a good life, idle all day, buy some melon seeds today, buy a fritter tomorrow, the family field is not cleaned up, several children are not well educated, the eldest son graduated from primary school, the second son did not graduate from junior high school and went out to work, rice millet is also a junior high school before graduation to go out to work.
Several children have grown up, and Grandma Ermao is also fifty or sixty, and she has no capital to be a demon, but several of her children have all inherited her, one more than one will be a demon, and the eldest son has worked outside for a few years, and he has enlarged a woman's belly, to be precise, an underage girl, and the girl has come back with him to give birth to a child without her family.
After the child was born, the girl's family came to look for you, and at that time, they also reported to the police, just like that, the girl and the child were taken away by her family, and the girl's family said, My girlfriend will definitely not follow you, if you want a child, come with twenty thousand yuan to change!
Ermao's grandmother's family is afraid that there is not even two hundred yuan, let alone twenty thousand, there is a talent to want to take back his wife and children, but there is no money, he is even more complaining that Ermao and Ermao's grandmother have no ability, in a fit of anger, run away from home, until now, there is no information about him in the village.
The second son is called Youfu, the men in the village all scold him for having Yanfu, don't look at the tall, poor jingle, but people's mouths will say, can spray will flicker, often lead women to live in his home, but no woman can stay in his home, all the women who are fooled by him, most of them are good at eating and lazy, coveting vanity, just by virtue of their family's three earthen houses who can not keep.
Her eldest daughter, Rice, had children out of wedlock when she was sixteen years old, married to a neighboring village, and the conditions of her in-laws were not good, so the husband and wife put their children in their hometown, worked outside all year round, and rarely came back.
Her little daughter, and Ermao Grandma when she was young, Ermao Grandma has been counting on her little daughter to marry a good family, but one year during the Spring Festival, Xiaomi came back with a Sichuan man, Ermao Grandma did not let the Sichuan man enter the house, Xiaomi and Ermao Grandma cried, and even wanted to jump into the well to live, and the Ermao Grandma who was tossed enough had to compromise.
Xiaomi married to Sichuan, I heard that it is still a mountain nest, life is much more difficult than our plains, when we just got married, we can come back once a year, and then have children, coupled with the hardships of life, a trip back and forth will be thousands of pieces, slowly, three years and five years will not see her figure.
Later, when Ermao ye was working in the field, he died of a sudden cerebral infarction, and some people said that if he was found at that time, he might be sent to the hospital in time to save it, but several of his children were not around, there was no one who had an idea, and Ermao's grandmother let everyone pull him home, found a barefoot doctor to show him, and it didn't take long to get home, and people couldn't do it.
Now, the once beautiful second grandmother has become a dirty old woman, picking up some rags in the village all day, her children are not happy, every holiday, no one visits her, such a life and life, for an old man, it is miserable!
