military marriage

Chapter 32 The Beginning and Ending Point (2)
"The economic star of City A, the big brother of a retired veteran, it is understandable for anyone not to know him, but anyone who has never heard of his name is not right." Sparrow continued to play with his guitar disdainfully, "Just I enjoy my food as a performer. I can't ask for anything from him in my life, but when he comes here to experience life in the market, he wants to see my performance. This is my pursuit, not Chief Hu's! Hu If the chief uses his brain, he can enter and exit the tall gate of the Song family."

A group of men and women who ran out saw the noise fading away, and they patted Yuanyuan's head one by one. Knowing everything and knowing everything, they suggested to Yusuo to spend a few thousand yuan to find a first-class pianist for Yuanyuan to teach. Students can get an extra 20 points when they take the college entrance examination. The one suggested spending thousands of yuan to find a first-level English teacher for Yuanyuan. Now English is very important. Knowing English is equal to illiteracy. There is also a suggestion that you should spend tens of thousands of yuan. Money to find a first-class school for Yuanyuan. After this age, it will be too late to study and fail to learn... It seems that the slums here are also worth the money in the Northwest. Thousands of dollars are in their eyes. It's just an insignificant little number, after it pops out of their mouths, it doesn't affect them to apply foundation on their face, use a brush to apply eye shadow, and draw red thrush.

Listening to their suggestions, the pressure in Yu Suo's heart increased virtually.The room was suddenly immersed in a strong fragrance of cosmetic powder. The fragrance of sandalwood seemed to have a magical effect of calming people. Everyone silently completed the work at hand.

Yu Suo dumped the garbage into the trash can outside, and when he returned to the pigeon cage, he was surprised to find six handsome men and pretty women floating under the lamp, especially the three women with their pale yellow eyes and swollen eyes. After a while, the colorful colors turned into white, tender, rosy and bright. The purple eye shadow and the purple bowknot tied with the gauze hanging around their necks added elegance, mystery and wealth to them.

As soon as the sparrow waved, they formed a semicircle under the lamp. When each of them embraced a musical instrument, they changed their lazy and hippie image. There is a place in the city.Sure enough, the Huangmei Opera "Husband and Wife Returning Home" performed by them with multiple instruments such as flute, Xiao, and guitar was seamless!

Yu Suo wiped the tears streaming down his face, walked into the small kitchen at the back, saw Chuanlong sitting lonely on a small stool choosing vegetables, so he rolled up his sleeves, picked up the vegetables on the ground and started to choose.

"This is a paradise for sparrows, but not for you!" Yu Suo whispered.

"I don't have heaven, I..." Chuanlong hangs down his arms like broken wings.

"No, you have it, everyone has it!" Yu Suo said, "Why didn't you look for Political Commissar Song? I thought he was the first person you would look for when you came back!"

"It's so easy to meet him now?" Chuanlong sighed, "He flies here today and flies there tomorrow. His world is very wide, and he is no longer limited to the palm-sized world of the army!"

"Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart!" Yu Suo took out a card, "I have saved some money on weekdays, all here! It's a good day at home, and everything is difficult when you go out. You are a big man going out into the world, and there is no one around you." What about the money?"

"What about you? What about you and Yuanyuan?"

"I'll bring Yuanyuan back to Huaowan tomorrow! Going out here is money, so save what you can save! You know that this little money is hard-won. It can't be called hard-earned money, but I saved it through my teeth. You have to spend carefully, and spend every penny wisely."

"Then...then...I know that, you..."

"My mother and I will go to the long-distance bus station early tomorrow morning. No one will starve to death in the adobe pile in Huaowan! After you have finished your work with all your heart, our mother and I will rent a house again. I think it will be fine." Yes, I have been a housewife for so many years. I can find a job of sweeping the floor and washing dishes, but you can’t be careless. If you can’t get into the public security, traffic police and other systems, you will not be happy in this life! You are in the army You can't lose the good skills and specialties you have trained!"

After the sparrows finished playing the music together, Yu Suo brought a table of delicious meals to the table in good time.Everyone had a great time eating, and they all praised Yusuo for his good cooking skills. At 07:30, they carried their musical instruments and left the door on time.

Yu Suo packed everything in the house, and leaned on the chair with Yuan Yuan in her arms all night.At dawn, she got up to wash and pack her luggage. She brought jujubes and tobacco leaves from the Northwest to her aunt and uncle, but now that she was so down and out, how could she have the heart to face them?
Yu Suo's gaze shifted from the luggage to the door. Sparrow and his gang hadn't returned yet, only Chuanlong was lying on the ground like a tired sleeping insect. She walked over, covered him with a blanket, and caressed him. His straw-like messy hair, accidentally found a few white hairs shining brightly under the lamp, she was startled, is he really old?Or a fleeting melancholy that makes her hero prematurely fade?Yu Suo wrapped the white hair on Chuanlong's head around his little finger, pulled it out with a little force, one, two...a total of ten.

Time waits for no one, time is not forgiving!Yu Suo stood up abruptly, carried the luggage in one hand, and pulled Yuanyuan out the door with the other.Walking out of the narrow alley, the bustling night sky is oncoming.

Table after table of banquets on Jiqing Street were dispersed, and guests and friends from table to table gathered together from all directions. This place is always the beginning of the gongs and drums, and the sky that never sleeps.This is a place where human fireworks are condensed, and it is the epitome of civilian life, so the beautiful and the ugly can be compatible, or is it a show of life?Everyone here can get income and some honors through their own performances, show their strengths, and gain their own value. Behind everyone here is an inevitable wonderful story, sad or happy, but they don't have to face it to tell, but to use flute, xiao, erhu, guitar, cucurbit, and even musical instruments that ordinary people have never seen before. It said it, but it didn't seem to say it; she heard it, but it didn't seem to hear it. That's all!Only temporarily, this atmosphere does not belong to Yusuo, let alone Hu Chuanlong!

Hu Chuanlong longed to hear the bugle in his heart.Bugle!Bugle!Where is the bugle that can accompany Chuanlong's search in the city?Where is the bugle that can blow away the mist and sorrow that hang over the corners of Yu Suo's eyes and brows?

But Yusuo's heart was full of timidity and melancholy, "Who can give me strength, give me the strength to face the folks in Hu Aowan!".

Hu Shenggen's dilapidated house that was almost collapsed, among the brand new buildings rising up one after another in Huaowan, was like rubbish piled up by dead flies, which made Yu Suo feel pain all over his body and tears in his eyes.Her limp and empty body almost collapsed on the hillside.

The closer you get to the dilapidated house, the stronger the pedantic sour smell, and the heavier Yusuo's footsteps.Pushing open the rotten wooden door, the father-in-law Sheng Gen reclined on a recliner in the corner of the door, covered with a military overcoat, his withered face was bloodless.

Chicken excrement, pig excrement, dark green sputum, cigarette butts, rags, broken copper and iron, firewood, straw, etc. are everywhere like landmines, and there is no place for anyone to stand.

The first thing Yusuo did when he came home was to pick up the broom and do a big cleaning. With the sound of ping-pong-pong, the father-in-law opened his eyes, pursed his mouth and said, "Look at the mess in this room, it is someone else's. The latrine at home is not as good as, alas, it’s all your mother-in-law’s fault, she doesn’t understand anything, she’s so stubborn, she doesn’t love anyone…”

The dirt on the ground bounced into Yusuo's hole, and Yusuo wanted to cry.

Ba Po Qiu ran back from the neighbor's house in a panic, snatched the rags and rags from Yusuo's broom, and put them back under the table and on the chairs.

"How much money do you have in your hand? You don't know how to live like this!" Ba Po Qiu looked at Yusuo with a straight face, "You don't want this or that, like a lady from a rich family! Do you know how hard life is in my family? Your uncle is sick, and there is no time to plant the vegetable garden, and there is no food at home..."

There is an instinctive resistance in Yusuo's heart. Who doesn't know that when the father-in-law is not sick, the vegetable garden is deserted. Unless they don't come back, once they come back, they are as small as onions and garlic, as big as rice cookers and electric fans. Why don't they move home?

Ba Po Qiu's second sentence was "Hu Dingni is not sensible, she is over 30, and her personal marriage has not yet been settled..."

Yu Suo was speechless.After tidying up the house, the second thing she was eager to do was to find a school for Yuanyuan. It was already October, and the children in other families had started school for a month. The quality of teaching and textbooks in Northwest China were different from those in her hometown. delayed.She had to invite the teacher to have a meal, and she had to buy school uniforms, books, paper and pens for Yuanyuan's tuition, and the weather in the mountain village was three to five degrees lower than that in City A. When they came back, they only brought autumn clothes, so they had to buy more. Make some winter clothes.

"I...it will be your uncle's [-]th birthday in a few days. It seems that he won't be able to pass this test. You can call Chuanlong and come back! And...tomorrow, tomorrow we will go to the temple to beg Bodhisattva, bless you to survive this test..."

On Hu Shenggen's birthday, Chuanlong rushed back. Many relatives and friends came to his home, including Chuanlong's classmates and comrades-in-arms.

Yusuo was choosing and washing vegetables in the kitchen, and suddenly realized that today was her father-in-law's 60th birthday. When she entered Hu's house, she kept hearing them calling themselves "old guys, old guys". Yusuo believed in their old-fashioned appearance. They are old elders, but if you think about it carefully, your father-in-law was only 50 years old at the time!That year!What is causing him to age prematurely?When Yu Suo occasionally went out of the kitchen to take out the trash, he looked at his father-in-law who was curled up on the recliner, except for moving when he spit out thick green phlegm, and telling his mother-in-law about everything else, most of the time, he cowered in the recliner like mud Inside.Yu Suo looked at him, feeling melancholy in his heart.

Some young daughters-in-law in the village also came to help, washing rice, cutting meat, cooking, boiling, and frying.

A young daughter-in-law said, "I see you are doing very well. Why do Jin Juniang, Ba Poniang, and Ding Ni always say that you can't do things and can't do anything?".

Yu Suo smiled and continued to work.For a full ten years, all the days she and Hu Chuanlong spent together were less than one year, and almost the entire nine years, she survived alone in loneliness.Can't do anything, can it last until today?

Uncle Degen walked in, looked at Yusuo, then looked at Chuanlong: "What are you doing in the kitchen, a big man? This is a place where women stay, not you. You have nothing to do when you come back? Go into the kitchen! Women are spoiled by a boneless man like you, and she has been enjoying the blessings outside for more than ten years, are you afraid that she can't cook a meal?"

"This is a matter between our young husband and wife!" Yu Suo was cutting vegetables, "Have you and Bo Da ever been young?"

Degen was so angry that his veins were exposed, and he shook his head violently: "Listen, what kind of wife did you marry? She wears clothes that can't be sprinkled every day, and she is open-chested and backless in winter, and you don't talk about discipline and discipline, just talk about it. Shuai, who is a person who lives? Who is a person who does things?"

Yu Suo looked at Hu Chuanlong begging for help, thinking that Chuanlong would help her.How she has come step by step over the years, how she has paid and struggled, others don't know, Chuanlong should know!
Hu Chuanlong nodded and handed Degen a cigarette: "She can't speak, uncle, don't let her see you! Come on, let's go to the main room to drink tea and chat!" He turned his head and stared at Yusuo fiercely. "Shut up if you can't speak, and watch how I deal with you later!"

Yu Suo was stunned. Didn't Sheng Gen treat her mother-in-law like this ten years ago?Why is her hero more and more like her father-in-law?Inherited, is it really inherited from his blood, inherited their stupidity?

Sheng Gen, who was paralyzed in the recliner, suddenly raised a rough voice, and said, "Chuanlong, I chopped up the pile of firewood at the door." The two-eyed mother-in-law said: "Oh, if she is as capable as your uncle, then I will be fine."

At the birthday banquet, two tables were surrounded by old men and old ladies.They yelled, "It's right to give your parents more money to use." "A man can't be soft-hearted. He should listen to his wife in everything, and he should be more filial to his parents." "Your old man was decent and smart when he was young. I have already become a general by chance, and I have married the chief's daughter... ".

Hu Chuanlong surrounded the two tables of banquets, frequently poured wine and nodded in agreement.

Degen raised his neck and poured a glass of wine into his mouth, and then shouted: "The wine is not the food, fill it up, fill it up! Drink, drink!"

Degen brought a glass of wine just filled to Hu Chuanlong's face: "If you think highly of me, your uncle, and all the folks, then drink this glass of wine! I told you, my relatives." Yes, if I call you to ask you to do something or something, you have to honor it with me. You can't put on airs with me and hurt my face."

Hu Chuanlong took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp: "Definitely, definitely."

Then everyone followed suit, drank the wine in the glass, filled it up, and handed it to Hu Chuanlong: "If you respect us and promise to do things for us in the future, you will drink this glass of wine. Don't be afraid of your wife, a man is big." Heroes need talents, money and money, and are you afraid of an ignorant little woman?"

Hu Chuanlong swallowed all the wine while agreeing.A stream of flames began to burn in the body, and it was urgent to find a channel to vent.

"Your parents are pitiful..."

"A man who is a great hero needs to be talented and rich, so he is afraid of an ignorant little woman?"

……

It is said that anyone who comes to the dragon will not refuse, one cup at a time.Gradually, Yusuo turned into a hideous witch and monster in front of his eyes amidst the discussions of different opinions.

"Yusuo! How did you become a daughter-in-law! Come here!" Chuanlong yelled drunkenly.
