You remember that in those days when there was no food to eat, Yu Chunhua and her father were dragged into the commune to criticize her. Her mother was abducted from her two brothers. Her mother was depleted and died early. The remaining very thin Yu Ziliang was struggling to support the huge family business, but this family business was not held at all and was defeated.

It was the best era, just because tenant slaves were all free, they could be the masters of their own homes.

It was also a period of misery and hardship, and many landlords with rich family business were beaten.

Yu Ziliang is one of them.

The three generations up from the Yu family were also poor peasants, struggling under the oppression of feudal society.

Yu Ziliang's great-grandfather was an orphan when he was in charge of the Lafayette. He could not get enough to eat or wear warmth. It can be said that he grew up eating Baijiafan in the original village.

At the age of thirteen, I followed a middle-aged man in the village to go north and south to find a way to survive.

Later, I worked as an apprentice in a carpenter's shop, because he was willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, and he was loyal and diligent. In addition, no matter how the master beat and scolded, he always gritted his teeth, just to learn more from the master. He quickly stood out among the masters, and was appreciated by the master, and also appreciated by the master’s daughters. After the old man became a master, his master gave the apprentice two choices. One is to marry the other’s daughter and stay with the carpenter. In the shop, the two people were provided for the elderly care nearby, and the other was that he went out to stand on his own.

Grandpa Yu combined the two conditions into one, married the master's daughter, and went out to stand on his own.

Not only did his master not think that this apprentice was a wolf, but on the day before the wedding night, the master and his wife said that this cheap son-in-law would definitely have a great future.

Sure enough, Mr. Yu was right by his master. In the days to come, although the conditions are not rich and honorable, at least the husband and wife are harmonious and affectionate, and the business is booming. It is only because Mrs. Yu is a sincere person. If the wife embroiders well, she will help her husband to make suggestions and engrave some unique patterns on the furniture, so that it is particularly popular, especially for people with a little wealthy family. If the daughter is married, it is necessary to create furniture for the dowry, and it will always come from the old man. The shop was well-known at that time.

Similarly, he didn't know who his parents were since he was a child. After marrying his wife, he naturally regarded his father-in-law as his biological parents and respected him, and he lived very comfortably in his later years.

It’s just that the two sons and two daughters of the old man did not inherit the family’s carpentry industry. After middle age, he accepted a few apprentices. He didn’t ask them to provide for the elderly. He just didn’t have any wages during the apprenticeship. He didn't stop, so a few apprentices treated him very well, after all, Grandpa Yu never hid himself.

After the two of them a hundred years later, the family’s inheritance will be divided among the four children. The eldest son inherits a little bit more, but he won’t be jealous of his younger brothers and sisters. After all, several children have a very good life after getting married. good.

Yu Ziliang is the eldest grandson of the youngest son of the grandfather Yu. The property of the Yu family was bought by the grandfather of Yu Ziliang. It is near Xiangshan Village. The lotus pond was planted after Yu family dug a pond. The former Yujia Dazhai was in an open space between the lotus pond and the small green hill. Now it is not a house, even the skeleton of the house is long gone.

A big fire that year burned down the house of the house. In Xiangshan Village and the surrounding villages, almost all of them were tenant tenants of Yu's family.

When Yu Ziliang was a landlord, he was definitely not a week of scalping. On the contrary, he got along well with the tenants in his family. In a good harvest year, he might collect rents according to the normal amount. However, in a famine year, the Yu family has never All of them are rent reductions, so even in the last years of feudalism, there were frequent wars in various places, and the Xiangshan Village had never starved to death.

Perhaps because of this, Yu Chunhua was able to stay here when he was fighting the landlord later.

At the same time, because of her background, Yu Chunhua was no longer the eldest lady of the landlord's house. The old lady Xu turned over and took the charge for a while, and she was only trying to grind this daughter-in-law in various ways.

However, Yu Chunhua’s origin is nothing in the eyes of Old Yaoshu. His family used to be a family of officials. Although the family no longer exists at that time, even if it exists, it will not end up in the family because of the generations of medical families. To the point, but at any rate, they are all from everyone, this "big" is a bit surprised.

When I first saw Yu Chunhua, she was standing in the middle of the crowd with a wooden sign hanging on her neck, but at the age of sixteen or seventeen, she was just like a jade flower. People imagine that she is a big lady.

At that time, the old uncle Yao had nothing but sighs, but in the next two years, the girl’s perseverance made him feel sorry for him. However, even though he was good at medicine, he was always an outsider. On that occasion, even old No matter how uncle Yao could, he didn't dare to speak for her, otherwise Old Uncle Yao couldn't please himself, and even Yu Chunhua would suffer more severe torture.

After that, he watched the girl he liked marrying Lao Xu, but it was a pity that he was greeted by another round of painful torture that he could not expect.

That kind of life has lasted for decades, and her husband’s life has become worse after her husband’s death. After the death of her mother-in-law, there is also a joking aunt, who seems to be a reincarnation. Overwhelmed.

When she married Yu Chunhua many years ago, she was no longer as young and tender as she used to be, but in the heart of Uncle Yao, the old woman next to her was always the little girl who gritted her teeth and endured the changes of the times. She was looking forward to being rescued. , But also knew that no one dared to speak for her, so she could only endure it silently.

Back then, Xu Jianjun wanted to enter the government agency, but because of Yu Chunhua’s composition, he was almost knocked off. But when the people above went to investigate, everyone in the village felt sorry for Chunhua, the widow with the last son, and spoke for her. After all, her first two sons died on the battlefield, and the people above did not embarrass Xu Jianjun and Yu Chunhua. They approved Xu Jianjun’s application to join the party, and entered the government agency after graduation.

It can be said that in Chunhua's teenage years, she was happy but plain. The first half of her life was soaked in bitter water. Only after her old age can she be completely happy.

Yu Chunhua has no love for the dead ghost husband, but she is very grateful.

It was he who gave Yu Chunhua a chance to escape from the sea of ​​bitterness. Although he dragged her into another sea of ​​bitterness, there was a fundamental difference in nature.

He gave Yu Chunhua three outstanding sons and two daughters. Even if the youngest daughter is disobedient and sensible, at least during the ten years when the eldest daughter was alive, Yu Chunhua was enthusiastic in her heart.

Of course, she cultivated such an excellent son for the dead ghost, and after marrying the old uncle Yao, she did not ask her son to change her surname. She believed that she was too worthy of the old Xu family. After marrying the old uncle Yao, she was regarded as real. He became a woman, a woman moisturized by love. Although this love came too late and too late, it was worth it anyway.

Ren Junran is 47 years old this year. He is the dean of the High Translation College of the Imperial Capital University of Foreign Studies. It is already very good at his age to sit in his current position. At the same time, he will also translate some foreign academic works. He has a high reputation in the translation industry. Visibility.

This summer, Ren Junran saved enough money to buy a house in Fanghuayuan, the imperial capital. He used to live in an old courtyard house. This courtyard house was named as the old courtyard house. Now it is simply a large courtyard house where he lives. There are five families, he and his wife also live here. There are a total of three rooms in the house. The kitchen is shared. If two people live together, it will be no problem. But later his wife gave him two children, and the place became crowded. .

Before, I was thinking about buying a new house, which is more spacious. However, the money on hand is not enough. And buying a house is different from buying vegetables. You can’t think about it today and get it tomorrow. It depends on various situations. Drag it to now.

The courtyard house in his family is the memory of Ren Junran. He has lived here since he was born. Before his wife could not stand the conditions here, she discussed with him to sell the courtyard house to fill the gap for the down payment for the new house. Duan Junran did not agree. The wife also stopped mentioning afterwards, the other party was a very gentle woman.

In the past few years, he used his spare time to translate some more books, and saved enough money for the down payment. Finally, he bought a three-bedroom and one-living house. The down payment cost 400,000 yuan. The decoration behind it was not extravagant. At one hundred thousand, this is considered to be a move.

When moving, the other four families in the compound came to help, and these three old houses were also rented to a family in the yard by the couple at a fair price.

Among them, while packing up Ren Junran’s mother’s relics, she found a rusty iron box. The box was about the size of an adult man’s palm. It might have been printed with vegetable patterns in the early years, and all eight corners of the box were touched. It is shiny and there is no rust. Obviously, my mother used to fiddle with it when she was alive.

The couple opened their eyes at the time, but found that in addition to some yellowed letter paper written in brush, there were photos of their parents.

Ren Junran’s parents were just ordinary people. His father died before he was born. Ren Junran was a posthumous child. It was his mother who brought her up and raised her. When she was a child, her mother was a female textile worker. Later, the textile factory closed down. He also did a lot of business, and finally supported him to grow up. When Ren Junran was married for less than half a year, he passed away due to overwork.

But this was the first time that Ren Junran saw this iron box, and the content on the few letter papers inside made Ren Junran very curious.

The above is the father's handwriting. The mother never knew a big handwriting for a lifetime, but the father seemed to be quite knowledgeable. The father who heard from his mother when he was a child is simply brilliant and majestic.

These letter papers were neatly folded and placed inside. The content on it was a letter from his father to his grandfather. There were about 30 letters, but they were never sent out.

From the letter paper, he learned that his grandfather was called Ren Yongjia, a local doctor who lived in Xiangshan Village, and the lines on the letter paper were all his father’s confession to his grandfather, saying that he was young and frivolous and did not understand his father’s difficulties, so that he left home on impulse. After running away, even though I missed my father a lot over the years, he still couldn't make the decision to go back. When I passed away, I was worried about it.

Ren Junran’s wife is Jiang Xiuqing, an associate professor at the University of Foreign Languages, and a bishop in Russian. Both of them stayed on to teach after graduation, and their relationship is very good.

She knew that her husband had no father since she was a child, and was pulled up by her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law gave everything to her husband.

In fact, when she was brought back by Ren Junran for the first time, her mother-in-law told her that her body was exhausted and she would not be an eyesore in front of their young couple in the future. I only hope that after she goes, let them both Able to discuss and discuss everything, kindness and love, plain and plain, and grow old together.

Jiang Xiuqing’s parents’ relationship is very good. Before, her mother didn’t agree with her and Ren Junran. She was worried that the widowed mother in Ren Junran’s family might have problems with her mentality. When Ren Junran broke up, the two had no choice but to let it go.

After they got married, the two elders of the Jiang family were still a little nervous when they saw the poor-looking mother-in-law. At the same time, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing her mother-in-law was like a dead lamp, even if her daughter was wronged, she would not It will be too long.

Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law went there half a year after the two of them were married.

Jiang Xiuqing knew what his parents thought, and was very upset. They had never stayed overnight at Jiang's house in the past ten years after their marriage. They just went back to eat a meal when something happened. After all, there was still an older brother and an older sister in the family.

Although he knew that his parents were thinking about her, Jiang Xiuqing still couldn't agree with this idea.

For the sake of his daughter not being wronged, he was relieved because his son-in-law's mother was dying?

She loves this man and also respects the mother who brought this man up. The thoughts of her parents make her feel cold.

When reading the content of the letter, Jiang Xiuqing and Ren Junran said to accompany her to visit Xiangshan Village. If the old man is still alive, he will take the old man over, and the two of them will be filial to each other. Know where his roots are.

Ren Junran thought about it all night before spending a few days alone with his wife to buy a plane ticket to Jiangcheng.

It was this Xiangshan Village and his party that let Ren Junran know that he and his own grandfather lived in the same city, the imperial capital.

And grandfather has been in the imperial capital for more than 20 years!

Hearing this news, Ren Junran was a little surprised.

He didn't know what he should think or how to think now, his whole mind seemed to be empty.

Perhaps it was because he was Ren Yongjia, the grandson of Old Uncle Yao. The whole Xiangshan Village was very enthusiastic about him. They asked about his father, Xiao Shitou by his nickname, and even told him that his father ran away from home. In those turbulent times, in order to find the only son, the grandfather rushed to the smoky battlefield, and returned to the village with a stubborn leg a few years later.

This made Ren Junran feel uncomfortable in every way.
