Chapter 5 Returning to Mother's Home
Today's father is particularly excited, especially when he is at work, he wears clothes faster than anyone in the family, maybe because he has thoughts in his heart.
"Dad, I'm going to work."
"Stupid brat, why are you so anxious?"
"Labor makes people happy."
Grandpa put on his coat and urged his grandmother to rush back to the dock to work. On the contrary, the grandmother on the side was less anxious as she urged her.
What is it like to live with a man who has no feelings for you?
The two of them rode their bicycles to the dock, and three cargo ships floated on the water, as if they had just woken up from the afterglow of the morning, waiting for their master to arrive.
"My little girl, hurry up and get on the ship to transport cargo. It's almost time to get to the dock of Linshi. I'll kick you into the river if you don't arrive at the dock of Linshi!"
Grandma picked up the shovel and transported the lime from the dock to the ship little by little. The process was very slow. In order to save money, the family did not hire workers. They felt that the workers in the factory had already spent enough money. What money would they make if they hired someone for such a simple job?
From the beginning of the first shovel to the end of the shipment, my grandfather sat on the bow of the boat and drank white wine to fish, leaving grandma alone to transport the goods sweating profusely.
When all the limes were transported to the ship, my grandfather began to complain again.
"You bitch, how can you transport goods so slowly? I really don't know why my father promised you to me back then, and he was so lazy to make things."
The skinny grandmother did not have the ability to resist it, and being beaten and scolded has become her habit for more than 20 years.
The ship started very slowly and needed preheating, but it started very quickly. It only took two hours to reach the unloading site. In the middle, grandpa sat in the cabin and played chess by himself, while grandma sat on the bow of the boat watching the water flow.
Within two hours, a couple who had been more than 20 years old had nothing to say.
It was no different when unloading the goods and when transporting the goods. Grandpa moved symbolically for a few times and then played cards with the workers on the dock, leaving grandma to unload the goods alone.
Just like this, you can unload the goods you have worked hard to transport them.
If a man could help her, I believe that my grandmother would be moved in her heart at this time, even if she had bullied her husband for decades. But from the beginning to the end, no one had helped her.
After a long period of physical labor and her already weak body, she soon lost her energy.
She put down the shovel and sat on the bow of the boat to rest for a while.
But at this moment, my grandfather was caught by him.
With a steadily step, he kicked his grandma off the bow of the boat and fell into the water. He stood on the bow of the boat with great might and cursed:
"You stinky girl, you want to be lazy before you finish your work and send you to the water to cool down."
Grandma didn't know how to water. Fortunately, the water was not deep. She slowly swam on the boat along the river bank. The workers on the dock only went thousands to help transport the goods when they saw this.
After the freight was over, the wet grandma walked to the cabin and wanted to change into a clean dress, but was stopped by her grandfather:
"What's wrong? If you don't work, you still want to change your clothes. Just give me this a look and go home!"
Grandma didn't say anything, and the tears at the corners of her eyes revealed her sadness.
I took the bench and sat at the stern of the boat, thinking that I would not be upset if I couldn't see it, and it would be smoother along the way.
The boat was very fast, and with the already large wind, grandma's forehead became hotter and hotter until she fell to the stern of the boat without any sense.
When I arrived at my own pier, my grandfather didn't go to see the grandmother at the stern of the boat, so he rode his bicycle alone and went back.
At this time, he happened to meet his father who was whistling home from get off work. He became closer and closer to the girl named Zhang Hua.
"Where is my mom?" My father was curious why grandpa came back, but grandma didn't follow him.
"Where is at the dock, I guess I want to spend the night at the stern again."
Grandma had a temper before, but she didn't want to go back to her parents' home, so she would run back to the dock alone and sleep on the boat.
My father turned around and rode towards the dock. As soon as he arrived at the harbor, he found his grandmother who was lying at the stern of the boat.
"mom!"
My father threw away his bicycle and rushed forward to test his grandmother's breath. When he found that his grandmother was still alive, he quickly ran to the barefoot doctor's house with her on his back. Fortunately, the barefoot doctor's house was not far from the dock, so he quickly got a drip.
Grandpa thought his yellow-faced woman was complaining to her son, so he didn't think about it anymore, so he asked a few friends to go to the casino together.
After grandma finished the drip, her first sentence when she woke up was:
"I want to go back to my parents' home!"
After learning about the situation, my father decided to send his mother home. After all, what should I do if my grandmother is tortured to death if she continues like this?
He rushed back to his parents' home, which was not far from home overnight.
Grandma is from a village not far from our village. Grandma's father passed away very early and lived a hard life since childhood. He has three younger brothers, the eldest brother is a pig farmer, the second brother is a runner, and the third brother is a raincoat.
Since childhood, the siblings were crowded on a small kang. The family had no money and four children. Their parents raised them with great difficulty. God knew whether they had given up, and no one knew how they came from it.
When my sister grew up, she was chosen by my grandfather to be a wife. She took a fancy to her grandfather’s property and agreed to marry her daughter. He knew that his daughter might be bullied, but he had to do this for his three children.
In fact, this is also considered an arranged marriage, but which one is more important than survival?
As soon as my grandmother returned to her hometown, she couldn't help crying. She told her younger brothers about the suffering she had experienced over the years.
His father also heard it, and he couldn't help but shed tears. It turned out that this is how his mother has been through the past twenty years.
After hearing this, my younger brothers were very angry and said they wanted to go to my house to ask for an explanation.
But this idea was stopped by grandma.
"You are going to make trouble now, and it will be the same in the future. Although you can breathe a sigh of relief, what will Mingfeng do if he is driven out of the house because he is driven out of the house by them."
Speaking of this, grandma looked at her father with tears in her eyes.
Sure enough, in front of his son, he could endure no matter how much suffering he suffered.
This is the nature of every mother.
My mother took a sip of hot tea, and in the clothes of her eldest brother's wife, she pulled her father's clothes, and asked her father to accompany her to go home quickly. If she got home late, both of them would be beaten.
When I got home, my grandfather was still in the casino and didn't come back.
Grandma spread a quilt in front of her father's window and planned to sleep in her father's room tonight. Her father also thought this should be done. Don't go down and meet her fierce father and got beaten for no reason.
