life is sweet

Chapter 33 [033]

After Papa Su issued the final warning, there was the sound of ping-pong-pong objects being smashed in the room, and the sound became louder and louder, and these sounds had already overwhelmed their quarrel.

Occasionally, I could still hear Su's mother crying. Su Qingchun knocked on the locked door and was powerless outside.

About 10 minutes later, Mother Su came out covering her eyes.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"fine."

Mother Su covered up the scars on her face, and explained: "You stay at home first, and mother will go to grandma's house, and I will definitely find a way for you."

"Mom, let's just forget about it." Su Qingchun said helplessly.

"It's okay, mom will find a way to solve it."

Su's father also came out at this time, and he stretched out his hand to Su's mother and slapped: "What's the matter, are you going to borrow money from your natal family again?"

"You are stubborn, see if I don't beat you to death."

By the way, Papa Su stretched out that fierce fist again.

"Father, don't hit mom." Su Qingchun grabbed Papa Su's hand and said in a soft and begging tone.

Although Su Qingchun was thin and frightened of his father, but he had an advantage in height and protected his mother's eagerness, so he strongly restrained Su's father's behavior.

"You little bastard, you dare to backhand, look at me, you are looking for teeth all over the place."

Su's father tried to break free and hit Su Qingchun back, but it was obviously useless, his hand didn't even move inside Su Qingchun.

He really couldn't think of where Su Qingchun, who was usually weak, obedient and frail, could find so much strength at this moment.

"Father, don't beat your mother. Is it alright if I don't study?"

Su Qingchun said helplessly.

Father Su seized the opportunity to take the opportunity to get off the donkey, and quickly said: "It's not bad if you don't study."

His hand was already in pain from Su Qingchun's grasp, seeing that he still hadn't let go, he said loudly: "You son of a bitch, if you still don't let go of my hand, I'll beat your mother up if you don't study anymore. "

Su Qingchun slowly let go of his father's hand, but this release was equivalent to giving up his own life.

"If I said I didn't study, it wouldn't be a problem." Papa Su said while touching his red hand.Su Qingchun ignored him, but ran out.

"Where are you going to die?" Dad yelled.

Su Qingchun ignored it.

In the summer evenings in the countryside, the room is extremely stuffy because most people are reluctant to turn on the electric fan in order to save electricity. Basically, people in the village will move out of bamboo mats and sleep outside the door.

There is a river in front of Su Qingchun's hometown. Although it is windy outside, there are a lot of mosquitoes. After Su Qingchun left home, he walked along the river. From time to time, he could hear the sound of villagers living outside the room using cattail fans to drive away mosquitoes. .

After a long time, he was tired from walking, and he lay on the river bank with his feet up in the air, looking at the bright moonlight, and only then could he feel a little bit of beauty.

As everyone slowly fell asleep, the village became quieter, it seemed very quiet and serene, but Su Qingchun could only experience this tranquility and serenity in the middle of the night, dreams and ideals are so close yet so far away .

Su Qingchun looked back at the pitch-black village. He didn't want to live in such a life where he had to endure the ravages of mosquitoes and even sleep together regardless of gender or age for electricity bills.

That night, he lay on the bank of the river without sleep, thinking about his future life without interest.

……

The days passed slowly like this, and Su Qingchun no longer mentioned the matter of studying. It was as if nothing had happened in his house about the admission letter or the university.

But all this changed when Su Qingchun's homeroom teacher arrived. About half a month later, the teacher in charge of Su Qingchun High School came to the village to invite Su Qingchun to return to school to give a graduation speech. Only then did he know that he had scored No. 2 in science in the county.

At the same time, the homeroom teacher also found out that Su Qingchun was unable to go to university. He was the one who tried his best to keep Su Qingchun at the beginning. So ruined.

So he tried his best to persuade Su Qingchun's parents, mobilized the village cadres, and finally went to the school to apply for a 2000 student award for Su Qingchun.

Under various offensives, after learning that college students can get student loans, Su's mother made up her mind that no matter how much Su's father objected, she must study for her son.

On the night of August 2000, 8, while Su’s father was asleep, Su’s mother left the house late at night. On August 28, before dawn, Su’s mother handed over the borrowed 8 yuan to Su Qingchun and asked him to take it with him. With the 31 yuan given by the school, he simply packed his things and left home.

"Qingchun, mother is incompetent, there is only so much she can do. From now on, you will have to rely on yourself for everything outside."

"You must remember that you must study hard when you are abroad. If you can study well in the future, you can stay in Shanghai and don't go back to this sad place."

What He Meizhen left to Su Qingchun was not only money, but also a copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber" that she had always treasured.

Afterwards, Su Qingchun, Ben Shuo did not come back for eight years. Firstly, in order to earn living expenses, he needed to make money whenever he was free. Secondly, he really did not want to return to this sad place.

Later, my younger brother got a phone at home at work, and Su Qingchun only occasionally called his mother during the Spring Festival to report her safety.

In 2008, that is, the year he graduated from graduate school, he found a job in the affiliated hospital. At the same time that Qingfu's son was born, Su Qingchun took Huang Xiaopei home with him.

But the mother in front of him is much older, and her walking legs are also a little lame. Only then did he know that the 3000 that his mother gave him back then was borrowed from many relatives of his natal family. After learning about this, His father literally broke his mother's leg in a rage.

In the second half of 2000, his mother stayed at home for half a year without any treatment. That's why it's obvious that one side of her leg is weak when she walks now.

Seeing that Su Qingchun came back from school, Father Su flattered Su Qingchun in various ways as if he had amnesia, and kept hinting that Su Qingchun should repay his parents if he made money.

When Su Qingchun left, he silently gave his mother 2000 yuan and left, and then promised his mother to give 1000 yuan a month to the two elders as alimony.

In this way, even when Su Qingchun was in trouble, the money was never lost. To Su Qingchun, the money was not a simple alimony, but a restoration of his dignity.

And Su Qingchun didn't tell his wife what he experienced when he was a teenager. He just told her that his family was very poor, so he didn't go home very often.

He didn't want his wife to know about the painful past, and he didn't want to bring such a complicated family relationship to Huang Xiaopei. life.

Over the years, Su Qingchun seldom went home. Of course, it was because of work. It was more because Su Qingchun was avoiding the family that broke his heart. From Huang Xiaopei's point of view, he only felt that Su Qingchun's family concept was indifferent, and he didn't find anything else. abnormal.

Huang Xiaopei, who can count the number of days he sees each other on one hand in a year, only thinks of Su's father as an ordinary father-in-law who doesn't care about his business.

But it was a nightmare for Su Qingchun. Whether his father is getting old and changed, or pretending to be Su Qingchun doesn't know, but once they really want to come to Shanghai, what will happen to Su's father?Su Qingchun really doesn't know if he will still be drunk and violent like when he was young, and Su Qingchun is indifferent to juniors. .

Regarding his mother, Su Qingchun was full of debts. Su Qingchun once talked with his mother alone and took her to Shanghai alone, but his mother insisted on living with his father, which made Su Qingchun very helpless.

As for his father, Su Qingchun was able to accept supporting him, but he couldn't accept living with him.

Su Qingchun is also a father now, knowing that no matter how wrong his father is, it is still his father, and he even wonders if it is wrong for him to do so, but the shadow of his youth makes him unable to get over this hurdle.
