Chapter 51: January 1996 Skylight
January 1996 Skylight
The last day at the end of this month is the Spring Festival, and the preparation of the New Year's goods is also lively.
Setting off firecrackers, watching the Spring Festival Gala, sneaking out at night to step on the street with Liang Jiangbo and Tian Xin, and sneaking back to their respective homes at two in the morning.
I woke up on the first day of the new year to greet my parents, took their red envelopes, and the family happily had breakfast.
My family is relatively relaxed, unlike Liang Jiangbo, who has many relatives, all of whom have to move around, and are rarely able to escape during the first month.
Several brothers and sisters in my father's family don't like to see my father. In previous years, he rushed to bring gifts to give people New Year's greetings. After they received the things, they said a few words and then saw them off. Last year, relatives even appeared in public at the family's banquet. Making things difficult for my dad, questioning the origin of the gold coins, and making my dad run away.
I really hope my dad can be tougher this year and simply don’t interact with those chops. Unfortunately, my dad still can’t stand it. "And so on, it seems that he still wants to curry favor with his brothers and sisters.
what can I do? I really want to ignore my dad and let him be insulted by his relatives, but I can't be ruthless. If I am here, I can at least protect my dad and not let others bully him too miserably.
When my dad heard that I was willing to go to a family banquet with him, he was so happy that he couldn't stop saying that I was grown up and sensible, and that my relatives would be startled when they saw what I looked like now.
That's right, we are all in a small county, but my family is like being isolated in outer space. I usually don't see those relatives at all, as if everyone is not in the same dimension.
In previous years, my aunts and uncles didn’t invite me at all. My dad rushed over to ask people the time and place and then rushed over. This year is a little better. My second aunt specially notified my dad to let my family go to my uncle’s house for dinner on the first day of the new year. Family reunion dinner.
My mother was reluctant to go, and my father persuaded me to persuade me to talk about it, and was reluctant to follow us out.
Before going out, I prepared hard banknotes and stuffed a small stack in each of my parents' arms, so that they could send them out when they saw the juniors, don't be reluctant.
The uncle’s house is not far away, and it only took us ten minutes to carry the gifts. After entering the gate, we greeted the uncle and the uncle’s wife. They didn’t recognize me at all. .
My uncle’s son and daughter are both older than me. They were greeting guests inside. After being called out by the uncle, they greeted my parents and my parents.
The cousin and cousin smiled sincerely when they received the money, but unfortunately, the money was taken away by the aunt within three minutes of being unhappy, and both of them suddenly became boring.
I followed them inside, my parents greeted relatives who were already in the house restrainedly, and I also paid New Year's greetings one by one, listening to them make a fuss about how I suddenly grew taller than my brother, and so beautiful, that I almost changed personal.
Relatives who are usually rare to see raised our family very rarely today. The topic not only revolves around me growing up and looking good, but also likes to ask how my commissary is doing.
Under this situation, my dad was very moved. After all, relatives asked him, and he wanted to answer the question seriously, but I remembered that my mother and I had repeatedly told him not to disclose any news about the canteen at home, so he could only embarrassed. Say "Ok", "Ok".
My parents seldom get together with relatives who used to ignore them. Although they usually complain about their relatives being ruthless, they are really hardworking when they are in the middle of the crowd. It's impossible to fake the appearance of wanting to blend in with everyone. I feel that my dad is very nervous to deal with everyone around him, for fear of making people unhappy, and even his tone of speech is different from usual.
My mother is rather boring. Even if my aunt talked to her about the shortness of the parents, she couldn't keep up with the rhythm. After a few words, she went to the corner of the room to find a seat and sat down to watch other people chat happily.
It's really lively, but it's boring. Uncle and Auntie are showing off their spacious house, which has been newly built for less than three years, and their promising son and daughter, but they are not the protagonists today. , they are accompanying guests, and the more wealthy third master family came, and immediately everyone gathered around them to chat, and those who couldn't get in on their mouths stood beside them and laughed, such as my dad.
It didn't take long for the relatives of the second uncle, the eldest aunt, and the second aunt's family to come one after another, and they also rushed to gather around the third master's family to say auspicious words. The ingratiating greetings and sweet compliments made the third master's family very enjoyable, and slowly disarmed the originally high-ranking arms.
My dad couldn't squeeze into the crowd, but he envied the people surrounded by the crowd. He patted me on the shoulder and said in a very admiring tone: "Look! That's your third master. He works in the city TV station and is the leader inside. , you hurry up and say New Year's greetings to your third master!"
"I can't squeeze in, they are talking." I told my dad.
"Squeeze in! Happy New Year to your third master!" My dad was very angry, he said I shouldn't lose face at this time.
Ugh... doesn't he know? No one cares about his existence at all, he has no face to lose.
I was very reluctant, but I still tried my best to squeeze in and shouted "Happy New Year, Third Master". The old man inside didn't understand where the voice was coming from, so he answered vaguely, and then he was attracted by other people's words. ignore me.
I looked back and saw my dad's satisfied smile.
Finally dinner, our family also sat at the table.
"Third, you have given birth to a good son! It's so good that it doesn't look like the kind of our old Wang family!" Er Bo on the wine table pulled my dad to persuade him to drink, and when he saw me, he saw him black, thin, and small. The son who is like a monkey, the words in his mouth are sour and he can't listen.
His son is thirteen years old this year, and he is not very tall.
I used to look even darker, thinner and poorer than his son. If I looked up the pictures of my junior high school, no one would doubt that I was the blood brother of several cousins, but now I don't talk to them anymore. The hair is like a foreigner, and he has never seen such a fast growth in the whole family, which is worth investigating.
The children sitting at the same table with me laughed involuntarily when they heard the adults say I was sick, my parents were flushed, but they couldn't defend me, I sat among them all, I was fair Their rough skin and light brown hair contrasted so sharply with their rough faces and unkempt, sparse hair that they seemed not of the same species.
Men, women and children at the dining table were talking to me happily, and they were not shy about complimenting and slandering. In my eyes, they were all like a group of monsters and monsters. They were no different from the mud-legged people in Luhe Village, and they didn’t deserve to make me angry or sad.
Interesting, right?
My dad has worked hard for so many years, and even if he dreams of getting such approval, I should fulfill his dream sooner or later, so that he will never have such inferior regrets.
The food on the dinner table is not bad. Some dishes are better than my craftsmanship, but I have no appetite. My dad is already drunk and can't find the North. How much, he directly told people that he could earn two or three thousand, and the eyes of the people around him who were listening with pricked ears were wide-eyed.
"This... so much?" The second uncle trembled and asked how my dad made so much money. My dad was dizzy and just drinking and eating food, but he didn't say anything, and no one could ask anything more.
Relatives despised my dad, and they all said that he told the truth after drinking. I didn't expect my dad's character to be so bad. He didn't forget to brag when he was drunk.
But some people believe that, hugging my dad is very cordial, as if wishing to wear the same pair of trousers, shouting that he will come to my house for New Year's greetings tomorrow, his eagerness is completely different from the initial love and ignorance.
I can almost think of these uncles who will bring something to say auspicious words tomorrow, and then ask my dad how he looks like borrowing money, and also hope that my dad won't be fooled by the praise, and the family's hard-earned money will be lost. The money is buried in the hands of others.
After I got home, my dad vomited darkly. After drinking the glucose water and the hangover medicine, he fell into a deep sleep, and my mother and I stared at me.
"Are you trying to say that we're a particular failure?" my mom asked me.
"I didn't want to say anything." I shrugged, I didn't have much to say, didn't I?
My mother sighed, shook her head, and stopped talking.
If it wasn't for everyone now that we all knew that my canteen was doing well, my parents would have been scolded and repaired by the aunt, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle this year. .
We are the bottom of the chain of contempt of all relatives, the weakest and the most vulnerable. Even if we are pointed at the nose and scolded, we have to bear it in a good voice. We dare not frown, because we are afraid that we will be directly kicked out.
I said that if I were my dad, I would be like you and keep away from those bastard relatives, but does my dad have that backbone?
"He didn't." My mother said with certainty that my dad was just like a lost dog. The family had long since abandoned him and kicked him far away, but he kept thinking about them and wanted to hear it in his dreams. Their praise, want to get their approval.
People are so sad sometimes, so sad that there is no cure.
"Tomorrow my dad's relatives will definitely come to tout my dad and ask him to borrow money," I said.
My mother was startled: "No way?"
"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can see tomorrow."
"What should I do?" My mother frowned in worry.
"You know my dad will give them money?" I asked my mom, looking up.
"Your dad is a waste in front of his relatives!" My mother gritted her teeth in hatred.
One day before my grandma died, she sneaked into my house to look through our boxes. She found the money my dad kept for the factory and wanted to leave. My mom found out and argued with her. My dad came home and my grandma I asked him to beat my mother, and my father beat my mother without saying a word. My mother told him that my grandmother took the money from the factory, and he didn't listen at all.
When the factory wanted to pay the money, my dad couldn’t pay it. He lost his job and was almost accused of going to jail. My grandmother spoke ill of my mother everywhere, slandering my mother and causing my dad to lose his job.
If it wasn't for me, my mom would have divorced my dad.
Grandpa and grandma are old and in bad health. Uncles and uncles are unwilling to take care of them. They don’t even look at them. Grandpa and grandma live in our house. Grandpa is a little better. Grandma has a bad personality. To sow discord, she always asked my dad to beat my mom and me to prove his filial piety.
My dad is very obedient, because my grandparents told him that when they died, the property and the money saved would be given to my dad alone, and the other two uncles and two aunts would not get a cent because they never took care of them. My grandparents, even for one day, always look forward to them dying soon.
As a result, after my grandparents passed away, the uncle and the second uncle took the aunt and the second aunt to hit our house, smashed the doors and windows of our house, and disregarded the will of the grandparents and forcibly divided up the inheritance, and even took away the things that originally belonged to our family. Now, our family is impoverished, but my father not only dare not resist, but also wants to please them.
If it wasn't for my dad being so useless, my mom wouldn't be so stiff with the family.
My mother has almost no contact with her own family, but my father still misses his brothers and sisters, hoping to be recognized by others. My mother said that my father became a waste when he met relatives. He really did not wrong him at all.
But it doesn't matter, today is the end of the month, even if someone comes to borrow money, it will be next month's thing for me, I'm not in a hurry.
Although my dad is useless, it does not mean that others can bully him casually. At least no one can bully our family when I am still here.
