When my grandmother got older, she always liked to talk about things when she was younger.
The most proud thing is to tell us about the past with my grandfather, who was bought by my grandfather for 20 yuan to be a maid, and then unexpectedly became a main room, and accompanied my grandfather for a lifetime.
That incident has to be talked about in the early forties of the last century, when the little devils caused trouble in China, there were wars everywhere, people lived quite hard, and it was not uncommon to sell children and daughters.
My grandmother was sold to Renyazi by her own father, when my grandmother's family was poor and there were many girls, my grandmother was not valued as the daughter of the family, and in order to reduce the pressure, she was sold to Renyazi by her father for five yuan.
Ren Yazi saw that his grandmother was young, and at the age of twelve or thirteen, there was no other place to go except to sell it to the Qinglou, but the kiln couldn't give a few dollars, and the people with yellow faces and thin muscles probably didn't want it, so they could only admit their losses and stay in their own hands first, and just give some food every day to starve and not die, but I didn't expect such a move to save my grandmother and let her meet my grandfather.
When she was in the hands of Ren Yazi, her grandmother rushed to do everything in order not to be beaten, so that Ren Yazi was embarrassed to hurt her, but the rice was still not enough, and the most important thing was that she didn't know when it would be sold and where it would be sold.
Every time someone came to pick someone, Grandma would hide from the sidelines, hoping to find a kind buyer who could support her.
But the truth is a bit cruel, many people are bought to be daughters-in-law, and grandmothers are excluded from the selection sequence when they are young.
She breathes a sigh of relief every time she is not chosen, but then there is the anger of the human teeth, who will starve her for a few meals and refuse to eat.
In the end, even grandma didn't think about it, and just hoped that there would be a place where she could have a full meal to take her in.
At this time, my grandfather found a human tooth and planned to buy a little maid for the family to serve.
Grandpa was indeed a well-known big family in the county at that time, with thousands of acres of fertile land and shops all over three or four county seats.
Although the little devil was tossing and happy at that time, there was still a network of his sixth master in the following places, and the business was not too affected, and even the little devil was unwilling to provoke casually, so as not to be stumped by these gentry in some places.
At that time, my grandfather had just got married, and there was a new child in the family, so he wanted to buy a maid to go back to serve, and my grandmother saw that my grandfather was dressed like a rich man and looked handsome, and if he bought it, he would definitely be able to eat enough, so he immediately stood in front.
Grandpa actually didn't choose grandma, what he wanted to find was an experienced maid who could take care of people, grandma was young, yellow and thin, like an eight or nine-year-old child, he didn't think grandma was suitable after choosing a circle.
Seeing that there was no chance again, my grandmother was a little anxious, and immediately said Mr. You bought me, I have taken care of my younger brothers and sisters since I was a child, I can do any work at home, and I eat less, which is definitely the most suitable.
When Renyazi heard this, he immediately became angry, and he was about to beat her with a whip.
But was stopped by grandpa, looked at grandma carefully for a while, and asked her why she wanted to be bought?
Grandma bit her lip and was silent for a while, saying that I want to eat a full meal, and I can't stand being hungry for six meals in three days here.
After listening to it, grandpa didn't know how to feel compassion, and told people that it was just her, how much was it?
Of course, Renyazi is very happy, and grandma, the most difficult to sell, can also get rid of a burden.
Immediately gestured his finger and said that as long as it was twenty yuan, he would definitely not be able to buy it at a loss, and he would not be fooled.
Grandpa didn't even pay the price directly, so he brought grandma to the house, and after grooming, he looked at grandma again, and was surprised to find that in addition to being a little thinner, he also looked good, and then handed it over to someone to take to learn things.
In those years, my grandmother worked very seriously and hard, and she was quite liked by my grandfather and my original wife.
Especially the uncle, who is very attached to his grandmother, always likes to pester his grandmother to play together, and treats her as a sister.
It's just that a few years after the good days, the world has undergone great changes, the little devil is gone, but the battle is still fighting, and the fight is becoming more and more intense, one place after another has been liberated, and many businesses in the grandfather's family have been confiscated.
Of course, there are also people who come to do grandpa's work, hoping that he can abandon the dark and turn to the light, grandpa was very hesitant at the time, I don't know how to choose, once grandma went to the study to send him food, grandpa asked grandma what to do, grandma thought for a while and said, can't keep it simply, as long as people have everything, people are gone, there is nothing.
It was also this sentence that made the grandfather make up his mind, and directly handed over the shop, goods and marriage to those who came to the door, and took the whole family back to the old house in the countryside, and grandma followed him to the old house, which was also the grandfather's ancestral home.
It's just that they didn't expect that soon after, grandpa's house suffered a catastrophe, those robbers and bandits who were made a wish by the official hit the idea of the old mansion, and one night rushed into the house to burn and loot, and in a hurry there were heavy casualties, and grandpa was also injured a lot.
It was the grandmother who ran out on her grandfather's back and hid in the firewood to be found, and when no one was around, she escaped with her grandfather on her back, and took her grandfather to find an acquaintance to treat her injuries, so that her grandfather's life was saved.
But grandpa's family of more than 30 people was killed completely, from the old man to women and children, and after grandpa recovered from his injury, he was like a fool, he couldn't even eat by himself, and he didn't know how to untie his pants when he went to the toilet, let alone solve the dilemma at that time.
There was no way, grandma had to hold up, look for food everywhere to support him, find someone to treat him, hoping that he could recover.
In order to support him, his grandmother went to help, wash clothes, and do embroidery work, but the world was chaotic, and the money she earned was only enough to barely survive from starvation, and she even had to hide everywhere, fearing being targeted by bad people.
insisted on it for more than half a year, during which grandma lost confidence, looking at the stupid grandfather and thinking about whether to throw him away? But she couldn't be ruthless, so she could only serve her grandfather, hoping that one day her grandfather would wake up.
Sure enough, the emperor lived up to his wishes, grandpa finally regained consciousness, and grandma cried happily.
Grandpa woke up and said let's get out of here, and then he took Grandma to Luxi, and found a former boy in a village to settle down, intending to live incognito for the rest of his life.
Ask grandma where she wants to go? He would find a way to send his grandmother back, and she said there was nowhere to go.
Grandpa wanted her to go, and grandma said I will be where you are, and I will accompany you for the rest of your life.
Grandpa should be very pleased, and soon the two quietly got married.
The whole country was liberated, the identity of the grandfather was exposed, and he was arrested and interrogated by the peasant association.
Grandma went with him and told those people that he had nothing now, that everything that should be donated and robbed was robbed, that even his relatives were dead, and that it was pointless for you to hold on to him, and that we wanted to live honestly now.
The peasant association contacted the local work team where the grandfather was at the beginning, and proved that the grandfather really had nothing, but recovered some real estate and fields, and the grandmother immediately told the people that the fields and houses were all gone, and all of them were donated.
Grandpa was a little unhappy at the time, but grandma said why do you keep those things? I don't think I'm dying fast enough!
It is true that grandma is quite clever in this hand, and grandpa was not classified as a landlord when assessing the composition, and he had nothing at that time, and even the division was a little headache, and finally thought about it and divided the land for him.
It's just that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, although there is no problem with the ingredients being drawn, but many historical issues still have to be explained, grandpa was always taken away for review in those years, and those so-called relatives had to be explained, and even a few escaped at the beginning, so that grandpa was very passive and always watched, so as not to be used by bad guys as spies.
Grandma worked hard to protect grandpa, drew a line between all the previous relationships with grandpa, took the children to accompany grandpa through the most difficult days, and taught grandpa to do farm work hand-in-hand, so that grandpa could transform into an authentic farmer.
After a long time, no one gradually grabbed the grandfather, the two of them worked hard to adapt to the life of the peasants, and gradually stopped caring about the outside world.
In the 60s, my father and they all grew up, and in the most serious years, my grandfather was also affected again, and some people even rushed to the house to take him to criticize, but my grandmother stopped him and put on a series of things, saying that grandpa had nothing to do with it before, why did he pull us to criticize? Have you ever seen him hurt or have you seen him bully?
Those are all native to the hometown, grandma has known these people here for more than ten years, and the bullying will definitely be bullied, but under the protection of grandma, it has not been too hard, and at most it will be punished to sweep the street for a few years.
Later, when the reform and opening up came, grandma said that she could finally rest assured, and she no longer had to be held on to those things in ancient times, and encouraged her grandfather to think about how to make money, but grandpa was a little afraid to move, and the things of those years scared him a little.
But grandma said what to be afraid of? No matter what, it's better than starvation, at that time, before you bought me back, what I wanted most was to be able to eat a full meal, and then what I wanted most was how to survive with you, and now that we have all broken through, what else is there to worry about?
Grandpa thought it was right, but he still didn't dare to make it too big, so he only occasionally went out to find someone he knew, continued the original relationship, and sold some goods from various channels to a suitable place, although he didn't make a lot of money, but he also really improved his life.
After that, my grandfather used the funds to set up a small processing factory, and started it little by little, not seeking to create much wealth but to accumulate some experience for future generations, so the situation in our family gradually became better, and in the nineties became a wealthy household, and no one dared to bully our family anymore, saying that our family was a foreigner.
Grandpa died relatively early, left in the late nineties, and grandma only left a few years ago.
When I was older, my favorite thing was to talk to us about the past, saying that my grandfather bought her for 20 yuan, but I guess I didn't expect that she would accompany my grandfather to the end, the world is unpredictable, maybe this is the so-called fate!
