pumice

When Chang Xia was born, she was loved.

This was the only precious time in his life when he was loved by his parents.It's a pity that the good time passed before the ignorant baby Chang Xia had time to remember anything.

Chang Xia's father, Chang Weiguo, is a well-known man in Nanping District, City A.Whether this reputation is good or bad, young girls can always chatter about him for a long time when they mention him, but older people can't stop shaking their heads when they mention him.

Chang Weiguo's hometown was originally on the outskirts of City A. His family had three tile-roofed houses and dozens of acres of land, so life was pretty good.However, his mother was weak and sick. When Chang Weiguo was 6 years old, she couldn't make it through and left her husband and children behind.

After taking care of his wife's funeral, Chang Han ruthlessly took Chang Weiguo and left the suburbs to make a living in City A.Asking people around for connections, Chang Han finally entered a state-owned factory in Nanping District, and Chang Weiguo also successfully went to school in the city.

After losing his wife, Chang Han never remarried.He is both a father and a mother, working hard during the day and taking care of his son at night.He was afraid that he would not let his son live well, and would be sorry for his dead wife, so he tried his best to save money, but he always fed and used well for his son Chang Weiguo, and never asked his son to do any work at home.This unprincipled doting has turned into a bitter fruit in the fermentation of the years, and Chang Weiguo has become a domineering, arrogant, useless, and ignorant person.

Chang Weiguo, who inherited his parents' good looks, has been a beautiful child who has been famous far and wide since he was a child. When he entered junior high school, the young girls who had just begun to love each other surrounded Chang Weiguo one after another, and he never refused to come.After Chang Weiguo graduated from junior high school, Chang Han chose to trade the old for the young, and gave Chang Weiguo a stable job in the factory where he worked, while he returned to his home in the suburbs to continue farming.I thought that my son's life and work would be guaranteed now, but unfortunately, Chang Weiguo is not a law-abiding person.In just a few years, Chang Weiguo had sex with more than half of the girls in the factory, and one of the girls he dumped drank pesticides for a moment.In Nanping District, for every family with a daughter, the parents have told their daughter: Be sure to stay away from this prodigal son.For Chang Han's face, the factory leaders tried to persuade Chang Weiguo several times, but to no avail.Finally, the factory gave Chang Weiguo an ultimatum: If he messes up with men and women again, the factory will fire him.

Chang Weiguo was somewhat scared. After all, he was a young boy in his early twenties. After a few months of restraint, at this delicate period when the girls around him were not available, Chang Weiguo and Xia Liyun met, and the two instantly hooked up. Earthquake.

The young and beautiful Xia Liyun is a flower in the mining factory and has many suitors.Her family is well off. Her father, Xia Jiucheng, was a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War. After liberation, he worked in a mining factory and had always been very prestigious. Although her mother, Ye Shuzhen, was not in good health, she was retired and had income and medical insurance. Most importantly, her family had nothing but Apart from her, there was only one older brother, which was relatively rare in the situation when every family had a group of children.

Xia Jiucheng and his daughter-in-law Ye Shuzhen have known each other since they were young. He was away in the army for many years, and Ye Shuzhen withstood the pressure at home and waited for him to come back.When they got married, they were not too young. After giving birth to their eldest son Xia Liwei, the doctor said that Ye Shuzhen might not be able to conceive again. Xia Jiucheng didn't say a word except to take extra care of his wife.But Ye Shuzhen was not feeling well in her heart. She wanted to spread the branches and leaves for her husband. Finally, after five or six years, Ye Shuzhen became pregnant again and gave birth to her youngest daughter Xia Liyun. She obtained a son and daughter.

For this hard-won little daughter, the two loved each other very much, but they never thought that this kind of practice not only made Xia Liyun grow into a willful, selfish person who is used to shirking responsibility, but also made the eldest son Xia Liwei grow up. , I always feel that my parents prefer my younger sister, which is psychologically unbalanced.

Xia Liyun has been praised and loved by everyone since she was a child. After working, she naturally became the most beautiful and fashionable woman in the mine. The pursuit and flattery of men made her even more arrogant. Her parents occasionally criticized her. When you act like a baby or cry bitterly, things often end up gone.For her future partner, Xia Liyun imagined a lot until she met Chang Weiguo. His tall and handsome appearance, humorous and generous speech and behavior seemed to be modeled after her dream lover.The two fell in love instantly, and within half a year of their acquaintance, they made a private decision for life. What shocked everyone was that Xia Liyun, who had just turned 20, was pregnant.

Although Xia Jiucheng and Ye Shuzhen had a lot of dissatisfaction with Chang Weiguo, Chang Weiguo and Xia Liyun got married quickly after the matter was over.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter and heavy snowfall, the young couple in the honeymoon period welcomed their little life happily.In order to show his love and respect for his wife, and to please his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Chang Weiguo named the child Chang Xia after the husband and wife's surnames.

When Xiao Changxia was in Baitian, he had already seen the outline of the future for the first time. His beautiful big eyes rolled around, and when he saw someone looking at him, his small mouth opened and gave him a big smile. Almost everyone who saw him Everyone in Chang Xia wished they could take him away.

Chang Han also moved back from the suburbs to help take care of his grandson.However, this is where the contradiction begins.When he was dating, Chang Weiguo didn't care about Xia Liyun's petty behavior every now and then. After they got married, the two people's longing for a new life and expectation for a small life also made those hidden contradictions temporarily impossible. outcrop.From the time the child was born, in the first few months, with Ye Shuzhen's help and care, everything went well.Chang Weiguo also tried his best to meet the mother's requirements, and was very tolerant of Xia Liyun.In a blink of an eye, the child was four months old, and Ye Shuzhen gradually changed from coming to take care of her every day to every other day.Xia Liyun looked down on Chang Weiguo's "rural man" father, and was picky about his unclean clothes and unpalatable food.At the beginning, Chang Weiguo patiently tried to persuade his wife, but after a long time, Chang Weiguo's temper also came up, and he began to deal coldly with his daughter-in-law's ignorance.Xia Liyun had never been so angry. She held back for a few days and found an excuse to belittle her father-in-law in front of Chang Weiguo. Chang Weiguo felt that a man's dignity had been damaged and had a big fight with Xia Liyun. .

Xia Liyun went back to her mother's house crying.A few days later, Chang Weiguo came to the door disheartened and ran away for three days before taking his wife home again.However, this is just the beginning.

As Chang Xia grows up, the conflict between Chang Weiguo and Xia Liyun gradually escalates. Both of them are unyielding characters, selfish, domineering, and don't know how to give in.The two had a small quarrel for three days, and a big quarrel for five days. Every once in a while, Xia Liyun would run back to her mother's house with the child.

Chang Weiguo, who used to be suave and suave, gradually got tired of this kind of married life, and he went home later and later, until one day, Xia Liyun discovered that Chang Weiguo had someone outside, and the other party was a young widow from Chang Weiguo's factory. , the appearance is barely considered handsome, this is tantamount to being slapped in the face for Xia Liyun who is proud and arrogant.

Xia Liyun made a big fuss in Chang Weiguo's factory. She took Chang Xia, who was about to turn four, and cried at the factory gate.A hundred or so people from the factory crowded the factory gate to watch the fun. A face-saving person like Chang Weiguo was so angry that he was going crazy, dragging Xia Liyun and the child home.

Last month, Chang Han was instructed by Xia Liyun to dig wild vegetables up the mountain, and accidentally broke his legs. If the kind people passing by hadn't sent him to the hospital in time, Chang Han's life would have been on the mountain.Because of this matter, Chang Weiguo and his wife had another big quarrel, and Chang Han, who had to lie in the house every day to recuperate from his injuries, was anxious and saddened to hear his daughter-in-law's insults.The day before, he heard the couple quarreling again, and wanted to try to persuade them, but he couldn't move, and he couldn't close his eyes all night.

This time, when he heard the door opening in broad daylight, Chang Han raised his upper body, and just yelled "Weiguo?", crying and cursing, he came roaring in.

At first, Xia Liyun was still sane, cursing only at Chang Weiguo for cheating and disregarding his family.Gradually, she began to cry and shout: "I haven't had a good day since I married you!", "Your dead father also bullies me all day long!", "Your family is not human, and Chang Xia, a little bastard, also eats inside and outside, My heart is with you!"

Chang Han on the hospital bed listened to his daughter-in-law's words, his blood surged up, and his heart was pierced like a knife.

Chang Weiguo also began to scold Xia Liyun: "You have the face to say it? My father is benevolent to you. You have been picky from the very beginning, and I will pretend to be a grandson to bear you. My father's legs, you want to It’s not you, can you break it? You still have the nerve to mention your son. Besides feeding him after birth, have you ever cared about him? My father and your mother are taking care of the child! You fucking told me on the surface that you were shopping with friends Go, actually why did you go, you know it yourself! Damn, my wife goes out to dance with other men every day, do you think I'm dead?!"

Neighbors in the neighborhood quickly gathered at the door of Chang Xia's house.Chang Han called Chang Weiguo loudly in the room, but there was no response.On the contrary, it was Chang Xia who sneaked into grandpa's house, his little face was full of tears, and threw himself into grandpa's arms in horror.

The scolding battle between Chang Weiguo and Xia Liyun lasted for more than half an hour. They poured out the most vicious words in the world to each other, and they had long forgotten the love words and promises they had said to each other.

The scolding war ended with the arrival of Xia Jiucheng and Ye Shuzhen.

The former family sat together again, but they seemed to be enemies for several generations.Xia Liyun is determined and wants a divorce.She also doesn't want Tuyouping's son at all, but Xia Jiucheng and Ye Shuzhen disagree.Chang Weiguo has been smoking a cigarette without saying a word, but he couldn't reach an agreement, and broke up unhappy.

Before Xia Jiucheng and Ye Shuzhen left, they went to Chang Han's room, picked up Chang Xia who was already asleep, and looked at the in-laws lying on the hospital bed. Xia Jiucheng and Ye Shuzhen just exchanged a complicated look with each other, without saying much, Turned around and left.Unexpectedly, this was the last time Chang Xia saw grandpa.

While Chang Han was recuperating from his injuries, his son didn't care much about the family, and his wife ignored him. He kept eating without a meal, and his health gradually became worse and worse.The first day he was worried that his son and daughter-in-law who had quarreled didn't sleep all night, and the next day he was hungry all day, coupled with shortness of breath, the old man went away that night.

Chang Weiguo went to the factory the next day and got the news that both he and the widow were fired.When he returned home in a state of confusion, he remembered his father. However, when he opened the door and went in, Chang Han's body was already cold.

Suddenly, Chang Weiguo hated Xia Liyun, and at the same time hated himself.He hugged his father's body and wept bitterly, but he could never call him back, and he spoiled his father all his life.
