I rewrote family history

Chapter 36 Engraved Silver Bracelet
"Free love."

The gray-white fox and Lengzi Xu hid in a small pavilion in a corner of the garden, dipped its front paws in the clear water of the Fangtang, and wrote these four characters on the ground.It's not old fashioned.Although it was born in the old era, it has also seen everything in the new era.These four words are not unfamiliar.

It and its other half are estimated to be part feudal arranged marriage and part free love.That year, the army was rampant, and the soldiers passed like a grate. Her family suffered a disaster, and she came here to beg.He is a well-known hardworking and honest guy in the village, and he can read some words. He was introduced by a matchmaker, and he saw it right. He used the five buckets of grain he had collected as a betrothal gift and married his wife.

The fleeing victims will be selected by pulling fiber (say matchmaker pulling fiber).Women of the right age, brides, and concubines.Those with a bit of craftsmanship will work as servants in rich families.If you are not in your prime, you might be able to be a tenant farmer.Young women are the most sought-after. If she can choose it, she probably likes it...

"free?"

Xu Er was stupefied at this unfamiliar yet familiar vocabulary.The word freedom, when he passed by the middle school, he could hear students reading the newspaper talking about this word loudly from time to time.These two words were rubbed in various newspapers such as "Wanguo Gongpao", "Current Affairs News", "Beijing News".

They say that in the country of foreigners, this is the most important thing.

Freedom is a fashion pursued by the students of Hongwen Hall, just like Mr. Dongyang Xiaopingtou.The students are all envious of Mr. Dongyang's flat head, because it represents freedom.And they still have long braids.

However, he has almost never heard of the connection between the two words freedom and love.

"Is there freedom in marriage?"

Xu Er raised his head in a daze, then lowered his head again.

He felt that even if there was the word "freedom", the girl on Wednesday from the county government would not like him.He is not Zhang Sheng in "The West Chamber".The girl on Wednesday is not Cui Yingying.

The gray-white fox nodded, affirming the question.

When his life was changed, Xu Er Lengzi embarked on another path.So what about the other half of it.One side is a clear past, the other side is a confused future.Will the two lines cross again?It's not sure.But it hopes that Xu Erlianzi can be free and like a partner freely.

It reminded him of the English poem that the young master taught him, the poem written by the female poet Emily Dickinson in 1872 in the Western calendar.

When a person sees the dawn of freedom, he will hate the constraints of rules.

The teacher's wife is fair and beautiful, just like the girl Xu Erlian had seen on Wednesday, stunning and fascinated.However, Mr. is a sad state.It restrains Xu Er's fool, and what is the difference between Mr. and Mr.'s parents.

Ah!Or an arranged marriage.

Looking at Xu Er's stunned expression, the gray fox approached, and it barked a few times.It means, don’t care about these things, reading is the most important thing right now.

Only by studying can her life be changed. She, who has not suffered, may be able to take a fancy to Xu Er's fool in the future.

"Yes, Master Hu, you are right."

Xu Er let out a long sigh of relief, and his depression gradually subsided, "Only by reading, reading can change life and everything. If I have the knowledge of my husband, this will not be a hindrance."

The husband wanted to pursue free love, but he didn't think so much.If he has the same knowledge and status as his husband, then it's not bad to marry someone like his wife in an arranged marriage.

……

"My husband's marriage is not very happy. Although my wife is a gentle person, she is very kind. Every time I visit my apartment, my wife will give me some snacks, sometimes candy, sometimes some snacks. My wife always likes it too. Lightly scold Mr., let him shave his beard clean."

Xu Cong turned his head and glanced at the window sill of the ward.

Ever since his mistress came, every time he went to the lecturer's apartment, the lattice fan in the room hadn't been opened, and even the fork had disappeared without a trace.It smells musty.The husband also lost the leisurely comfort of the past.Although the husband and wife respect each other as guests, but based on his life experience of a hundred years, they only maintain the superficial honor.

Like... a pool of stagnant water.

"Sir, he had a great influence on me at that time..."

Xu Cong paused.Of course, the teacher has never enlightened Xu Er on this matter.But it is also Mr. Xu Erlianzi.Some hard-to-disguise deeds had to be entrusted to the husband.

"Seeing the misfortune of my husband's marriage. I stopped and turned to study. Because I know that it is difficult for a person like my husband to be calm in marriage, let alone me."

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

"What about mom?"

"Dad, how did you know Mom?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Rong asked about it.

Parents' marriages are generally rarely mentioned to their children.On the one hand, it is because of shame, on the other hand, it is also to maintain the dignity of the elders.In addition, children are not very interested in this kind of thing.If Xu Cong hadn't been drawn here by telling about his past when he was young, Xu Rong would not have asked rashly.

"she?"

Xu Cong was taken aback for a moment, and he picked up some wicker beside the bed.Following my father's example, weaving willow baskets.He is old, and the weaving of willow baskets is very irregular.

After weaving a willow basket, he said: "I met your mother when I went to Los Angeles to visit my husband after finishing middle school. Your mother is a lady from a rich family, and she fell in love with me, a poor boy."

He told lies, fairy tales.

This time, it was not seen as a gray and white fox.That's right, how many years will it be after he graduates from the higher elementary school and the middle school.How can it predict what will happen in the future.

"I remember, when she got married, the dowry was eighteen liters. She wore a golden hairpin with a crested hair in her hair, which was very beautiful, and she wore a carved silver bracelet on her wrist, saying that she would be the dowry of her future daughter... ..."

"Unfortunately, your mother passed away five months after you were born."

He briefly described "her" life, just like a passing guest.

Xu Rong wiped off her sleeve, revealing a section of her wrist.She is not young anymore, and her skin is not as tight as it used to be, but it is yellow and loose.And on the wrist, there is a carved silver bracelet.

"Dad, is this the bracelet that Mom wears?"

Xu Rong asked.

The engraved silver bracelet has been blackened for a long time.However, under the sunlight, it still has a silvery metallic luster, shining brightly and dazzingly.

"Yes, this is the bracelet."

Xu Cong's eyeballs were filled with this carved bracelet.But he just couldn't remember where and when the carved bracelet was placed, the time and space it existed in, and he couldn't find it in his past memory.

"I'm old and confused. When people are old, they tend to forget things."

He shook his head.

He has a vigorous body on the other side, but on this side he is still a dying old man.Over there, its mind turns the same as when it was young.But here, he is as old as a dead wood.Memories are like stalactites in the cave, flowing down from the exhausted mind drop by drop.
