life struggle

Shao Yingniang approached with tears streaming down her face, her veins exposed and calloused hands tightly grasped Luo Xiao, and she said tearfully, "Girl, whether you recognize my fate today or not, My hated mother, I can see you once, and I am finally satisfied with a wish that I have been pressing in my heart for many years. [ ] Do you know that I often leave you alone because of the impulse when I was young? Feeling remorse and restlessness, I just heard about your news. I was so excited that I didn’t close my eyes for several days. I looked forward to this day like looking forward to the stars and the moon. Today you can come back with Yingzi and watch you come out like this Promising girl, I don’t know how happy I am.”

Shao Yingying watched as her mother became more and more excited as she spoke, tears poured down her face, and she burst into tears, spreading her wrinkled face. She took a towel from the side and wiped it carefully bit by bit.

Shao Yingniang went on to say, "I know you have suffered a lot and suffered a lot. You resent me, you are angry with me, you don't want to talk to me, you don't want to recognize me. I don't blame you, it's me. It’s all because of my mother, I’m sorry for you. My mother apologizes to you today, and asks you to forgive me, and chat with me about your past and your parents, okay!”.

Wu Xiaojun was touched by the scene, suddenly felt sad, looked at Luo Xiao sadly and said, "Luo Xiao, look at how sad Auntie is crying, people are not ruthless, you should be melted even if you have a hard heart, don't be stubborn anymore, Hurry up and admit it."

Qin Meixiang continued, "Luo Xiao, if you don't recognize your mother today, it's not your usual character and style, and it's not the kind, understanding, reasonable, optimistic and happy Luo Xiao who I know well. Just feel sorry for Auntie, and hurry up and call Sound mother."

Luo Xiao looked at Shao Yingying's mother who had just passed the age of 50, but her hair was already graying, and her skinny and sallow face was covered with wrinkles, which was extremely disproportionate to her actual age. She was almost like a 60-year-old, and the old man was crying like tears Like a human being, he was so sad, so guilty, so sad, and so full of sincere feelings that he couldn't help but burn inside, burst into tears, kneeled down on the ground with his legs limp, and yelled "Mom" in a sobbing voice.

Shao Yingniang choked with sobs and helped Luo Xiao, "Hey, hey, hey, Xiao, mother's heart, get up, get up, let's go back to the house and talk." Pulling Luo Xiao to the main room.

Seeing this scene, Wu Xiaojun, Qin Meixiang and Shao Yingying looked at each other and smiled slightly.

Qin Meixiang grabbed Shao Yingying's hand, giggled, "Meixiang, congratulations on your family reunion, you really have a real sister."

Wu Xiaojun said, "Yingying, Luo Xiao is in a very uncomfortable mood. It's really helpless and normal to be like this today. Fortunately, there has been a turning point. Let the two of them tell their hearts and calm down to talk about the past. The mission of me and Meixiang is also counted. After the glorious completion, we will not stay for long, Mei Xiang and I will return to Pingxi first, what do you think?"

Shao Yingying smiled sweetly and said, "That's not okay. It's definitely not okay to leave soon after arriving. It's not easy for you to come here once, and you don't know when you will come again. Let's not leave today. We will go to the back mountain later in the evening. There are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the scenery is beautiful, and many city people come here for leisure on Saturdays and Sundays, so don’t miss it when you come.”

Wu Xiaojun looked at Qin Meixiang, "Meixiang, what do you think?"

Qin Meixiang looked at the small courtyard, and said hesitantly, "It's rare for them to get together, the time is short, let the three of them have a good reunion today, let's go back."

Shao Yingying looked displeased and said embarrassingly, "Sister Meixiang, you can't leave today no matter what. If you insist on leaving, I will really be angry. Do you two have something private to say? It doesn't matter. This place is far away from the town. It’s very close, there’s a guest house there, you live there at night, you can say whatever you want, no one bothers you, okay?”

Qin Meixiang said shyly, "Yingying, let's see where you're going. In this case, Xiaojun, let's feel the atmosphere of a small farmhouse in a mountain village today, have fun with Yingying's family, and make auntie happy."

Wu Xiaojun said, "It's up to you."

Shao Yingniang pulled Luo Xiao into the house, sat down on the inner bed, collected herself, and wept to tell Luo Xiao what happened that year.

Shao Yingying's mother's name is Chen Jie, and her parents are skilled workers at the No. [-] Cotton Mill in Xiangzhou.

After graduating from high school, Chen Jie worked as a technician in Xiangzhou Machinery Factory. She was young and beautiful, and was called "the flower of the factory" by the young people in the factory. She was in the same workshop with Luo Xiao's father, Luo Wen.

The young man Luo Wen is not only handsome, but also very smart and capable, and has a good relationship with his colleagues in the workshop. Although Shao Jin, the son of the director of the factory office, made frequent love attacks on her, he was still unmoved by Chen Jie.

Chen Jie has a good impression of Luo Wen, and she admires him wholeheartedly, like crazy, and deliberately finds some reasons to approach him from time to time.The two who came and went once in a while got back together, and Chen Jie's parents also liked Luo Wen very much. Under the witness of colleagues in the factory, the two held a simple wedding ceremony, officially became husband and wife, and lived a sweet and happy life.

However, Shao Jin still didn't give up. In the factory, he tried every means to find trouble with Luo Wen, making Luo Wen look like a ghost.On the other hand, even if Chen Jie had a small flaw in her work, she would call Chen Jie to the office for a conversation, and the conversation lasted for an hour or two, but Chen Jie couldn't get away.This incident caused a lot of noise in the factory. Some said that Chen Jie was flirtatious, guarding her husband and stealing others, some said that Shao Jin relied on his father to play hooligans and bully others, and so on.Hearing this, Luo Wen couldn't hold his head up in the factory. He drank alcohol all day long, and became angry day by day.Over time, the number of people talking in the factory gradually decreased, and the relationship between the two slowly returned to normal.

Luo Xiao's wow landing undoubtedly added a lot of joy to the dreary little family, and the days naturally extended in the daily trivial things such as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.The good times didn't last long, at noon that day, after putting Luo Xiao to sleep, Chen Jie put her on the unsheltered bed, and then went to the street to buy vegetables.Looking back, Luo Xiao was lying on the ground and crying non-stop, the tip of the tongs inserted into the coal stove was pressing against Luo Xiao's back, the little padded jacket was scalded with a big hole, and the tongs were piercing the tender skin.She was so scared that she picked up Luo Xiao and forgot to run to the bathroom.

After Luo Wen got off work and learned about this, he was very annoyed, and beat Chen Jie up in the clinic. When Shao Jin, who was passing by, met him, he was very distressed, and secretly made up his mind to let Chen Jie leave Luo Wen.

Shao Bing's obsession with Chen Jie was almost crazy. When he learned that Luo Wen was on the night shift, he drank more alcohol and came to Luo Wen's house drunk. Unable to resist Shao Jin's beastly attack, he had no choice but to let Shao Jin succeed.After finishing the work, Shao Jin took out a sharp knife and threatened Chen Jie to leave Luo Wen, otherwise he would kill the child.In order to keep the child, Chen Jie had no choice but to give in. Under Luo Wen's coercion, she dropped the child and left home in the middle of the night, leaving Xiangzhou.

The two traveled all the way and first came to Pingshan. The money they brought had been spent, and they had no money to stay in the hotel, so they had to sleep in the cave and pick some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.Chen Jie missed her child very much, and asked many times to go back. Shao Jin knew that not only would he be fired from the factory, but he might be sentenced to prison if he went back. He never dared to let Chen Jie leave him.Chen Jie was beaten and kicked for the slightest disobedience, and Chen Jie had no choice but to resign herself to fate.

The two leaned on the mine as porters, doing some odd jobs, and picking up some rags to live. Later, Chen Jie became pregnant and gave birth to her son Shao Zili. It was inconvenient for her to go out to do heavy work. Shao Jin asked her to guard her home and go around the village alone to work These small businesses lasted for two years in a flash.Later, he couldn’t stay in Pingshan anymore, so Shao Jin had to take Chen Jie and the child to beg along the road. On a rainy night, they came to Xiahe Village, Sanshan Town, Xinning County.

The child's illness was just right, but Shao Jin suffered from acute enteritis, which later became chronic, unable to transfer to other places, so he had to ask the village cadres for help and let his family stay.The village cadres saw that his family of three had a pitiful background, so they agreed to let them stay and live in an abandoned cowshed at the foot of the mountain before they settled down. Work in the fields together to earn some work points and barely get by.In the third year in the village, Chen Jie gave birth to her third child, Shao Yingying.

In the early 80s, the situation changed drastically. Shao Jin’s family got the same land as other villagers, and the village approved a homestead. The family was overjoyed. They built a new house early in the morning and transported stones from the back mountain, moved into the new house, and it was over. Nine years of bullpen life.

Over the years, Chen Jie has always been obsessed with Luo Xiao and Luo Wen. She often has nightmares at night and cries secretly. Due to the social situation and Shao Jin's violent and weird temper, she dare not reveal anything.After a long time, the son and daughter gradually grew up before they dared to mention this matter to Shao Jin.Shao Jin also felt sorry for Luo Wen and his daughter, so he went to the original factory with Chen Jie and met several former colleagues and old people.

After the two of them disappeared suddenly, Luo Wen immediately reported the case to the factory and the police station. Shao Jin's father was fired from the factory because of his son, and he took his wife and daughter back to his hometown in Northeast China.Luo Wen handed Luo Xiao over to Chen Jie's parents to take care of him, and he searched everywhere by himself, and went to every corner of Xiangzhou and surrounding counties. After half a year of tossing around, without any news, he returned to Chen Jie's mother in a daze. .

At the beginning, when Chen Jie's father learned about this, he fell ill and died of depression within half a month. His mother had to take care of Luo Xiao and go to work as usual. She suffered a lot and suffered a lot.In the second month after Luo Wen gave up looking for Chen Jie and returned home, Chen Jie's mother encountered a workshop fire and was burned to death.After Luo Wen dealt with the funeral of the old man, he had no one to rely on in Xiangzhou. He took Luo Xiao out of the factory alone. He disappeared and never returned for many years.

From then on, Chen Jie and Luo Wen gradually forgot about this matter. They took care of their husbands and children, and lived an ordinary life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.After all, they are outsiders, and they are often made things difficult and bullied by the villagers. For the sake of their two lovely and sensible children, Shao Jin and Chen Jie had to swallow their anger. Take care of the whole family.

Shao Zili and Shao Yingying saw their parents working hard all day, and they were very sensible. They went to school very hard, their grades were always good, and their teachers liked them very much. They became the only thing they could be proud of and happy about in the village.Fast forward more than ten years, and the days are getting better day by day. Shao Zili is admitted to graduate from a technical secondary school, and Shao Yingying is also studying in a key high school in the county. During the slack time, Shao went to work in a nearby mine, doing some manual labor, and earning some money to support his family. , although not rich, but generous.Three nights ago, on the way home from work, she was involved in a car accident and died on the spot. Since then, Chen Jie has been alone in the courtyard, taking care of the family.

Chen Jie kept crying, and told the past from front to back.The more Luo Xiao listened, the sadder she became, and the more excited she became, with an indescribable sadness. She didn't expect that her biological mother, whom she always held a grudge against, would have so many painful experiences. After going through so many ups and downs, she was indeed misunderstood by her.

After listening to her mother's story, Luo Xiao also introduced the past, and the two couldn't help crying.

After a while, Chen Jie opened her eyes, wiped away the tears on her daughter's face, smiled through tears, "Xiao, God has eyes, and sent you, a long-lost girl, to me again, do you still hate your mother? Do you really recognize your mother?"

Luo Xiao smiled with tears in her eyes, "Mom, you are my mother, and I will definitely take good care of you in the future. For me, when I leave, I love my mother, and when I come back, I miss my mother." Mother, I really can't imagine it, it all happened so suddenly, it's like a dream."

Chen Jie said happily, "We can meet and recognize each other today, thanks to Wu Xiaojun and Qin Meixiang, these two children are really good, we can't forget about them in the future."

Luo Xiao said, "I know, we used to study in the same class and knew each other very well, so don't worry."
