vines and melons

Chapter 4

Everyone who has been wronged has an idea, and Erni's idea is: stay away from this home.

This time, after Erni was beaten, she brought up this idea again for a "retrial".In the dead of night, Erni looked at the roof of the kiln, with mixed feelings in her heart. When her mother beat her, she hated her mother, but when she hated her, she couldn't resist. Sometimes, she wanted to yell a few times. Maybe that way, my mother would restrain herself. Son, whenever she wanted to yell, she remembered how hard it was for her mother, and her yelling came to a halt. She knew she couldn't hate her mother, because she had grievances, mother suffered, and mother was also forced by life!Erni will always remember that her father gave her three smiling faces: the first time when her mother gave birth to the younger brother who died young, and the second time after her mother gave birth to the steel egg, father saw Erni smiling and gently stroked her head ; The third time was the first time she wiped the excrement and urine for grandma.Grandma didn't lie in the hospital bed before she was alive, she didn't like her, but she changed her mind later, the reason is: Erni wiped the excrement and urine for grandma without complaint or regret, maybe grandma's conscience found out, or grandma was repenting.That day, the dying grandma struggled to take off the gold ring from her hand and slipped it to Erni when Erni's mother was not prepared.Later, Erni still gave the ring to her mother.After much deliberation, what she couldn't let go of was her younger brother, especially Gangdan, who was the closest to the second sister. He would hurt the second sister as soon as he could talk, and he would kiss the second sister on the face when he saw the second sister was unhappy. Dear, he was still whining.It's a pity that the second sister can't understand, no, the second sister can understand, he said: Second sister, you have been wronged!She changed her mind again, her younger brother was her parents' baby bump, she left and grew up as usual.

In the morning of the next day, Erni slipped out of the gate while no one was prepared, and walked back and forth. She was going to the train station, she was going to a distant place.

This cowardly child is actually not "cowardly" at all, she is very bold, she never knew what it means to be afraid, except for being afraid of her parents, since she was a child, she loved to be alone, sometimes, her father would not come back because of farm work No matter it's noon or it's dark, she delivers meals to dad alone, she's not afraid of any ghosts or gods.At that time, my grandma was lying on the straw bunk (the bed of the dead), and none of the sisters dared to go there. She dared to stay alone.

Goodbye my home!Farewell, indifferent father!Goodbye poor and cruel mother!Take care brothers and sisters!

"Being a thief" felt guilty, Erni hid in a corner of the train station, she was afraid that her father would chase her and drag her back.

Seeing a train coming, stopping, and leaving again, Erni was worried, where should I get off the train? !With an idea, she remembered that there was a distant aunt from Lanzhou, yes, she was going to Lanzhou, but she didn't know where her aunt was from, she regretted it so much, and blamed herself for being careless and not remembering her aunt's address.It doesn't matter how much it is, let's get on the train to Lanzhou first. She spared the path, climbed over the low wall, came to the platform, crossed the rails, and was just about to pick up the train. Suddenly, a boy was running, crying, and shouting: "Sister, sister, you can't go, who will take me when you go!" Erni seemed to see the steel egg, and her eyes were wet with tears.yes!Dear brother, who will take you after my sister is gone, mother is too busy to take care of you!She turned around and ran home.As soon as Erni entered the house, both Tie Dan and Tie Dan ran over to ask the second sister where she was going.The mother murmured and stuffed Xiao Mo to her, and Xiao Mo, who was more than 1 year old, kissed and kissed the second sister again. Er Ni felt warm in her heart.

Er Ni, who has not been treated kindly by her family for a long time, has developed the habit of being silent and silent. When her mother put down the thread and tassels and left without spinning flowers, she sat down and learned to spin. Gradually, she became proficient , the movements are light and skillful than the mother.The mother got off the loom, she went up, she couldn't reach the shuttle while sitting, she just stood up to weave, and after dinner she competed with the eldest sister to wash the dishes.Dani said: "Erni sees the most work." Erni smiled and did not answer.Erni was 12 at that time.
