Mu Chen

14. The Yu Family

Three days later, Lin Lan was discharged from the hospital. Yu Jianguo, who had been educated for a few days to restrain his violence, came to pick her up. The couple thanked Mu Wen again and again.

Mu Wen found that Yu Jianguo was honest and honest when he was awake, and he couldn't imagine him beating his wife and children violently.But the two don't have much friendship, and Mu Wen only reminded a few words implicitly that if there are conflicts between the couple, it is best to communicate well, otherwise it will have a bad influence on the child.

But looking at the two people's completely indifferent looks, and thinking about Yang Li's cold violence against Mu Chen, I can only sigh.

Yu Yong didn't see Mu Wen when he got out of school, but Yu Jianguo.

The gauze on Yu Yong's head has been removed, the wound on his forehead has scabbed over, his clothes are well washed, he hasn't seen him for a few days, and Yu Jianguo misses him a lot, so he picked up the child, "Little boy, want to Is there no father? Your mother will not come home for a few days and you will not come back, have you forgotten your father?"

Yu Yong didn't dare to resist, and didn't dare to ask why Mu Wen didn't come to pick him up, and let Yu Jianguo hug him, but his hands didn't wrap around the other's neck like he did to Mu Wen, but hung down by his side, The body twisted slightly.

Yu Jianguo didn't hear the answer, "What's the matter, don't want to go home after living in someone else's house for a few days? Little brat, don't forget who is your old man!"

Yu Jianguo often gets angry for no reason.For example, he has type O blood, and both Lin Lan and Yu Yong have type B blood. One of the stalks he often has at home is that in this family he works hard to earn money to support the family, but at home he is a gang, and the other two are A group of people are not close to him.

Yu Yong is still young and doesn't understand blood type inheritance, but he understands that he can't show closeness to others in front of his father, and this other person even includes his mother.

Just like now, Yu Yong, who has the intuition of a small animal, felt the surge of Yu Jianguo's anger, and immediately said, "Dad, I'm hungry."

Yu Jianguo, "...I bought pork head meat for you, I don't know if it's sold out now."

It's not that Yu Jianguo doesn't love his wife and children, but his background, growth process and experience destined him to only express in the roughest way.

His hometown is located in the northwest, which is a famously arid and barren land, and it is difficult to start a family.His parents were married by business, and the difference between the two was nearly 20 years old, and Yu's mother was also a deaf-mute.After Yu Jianguo was born, his parents were sick and his family was poor, and the pressure of survival was greater than everything else. People's life was simple and rough, and his spiritual world was barren.

Yu Jianguo grew up in such a harsh environment. As the only boy in his family, he dropped out of school early, first married off his older sisters, and then sent away his father who died of old illness. Only his silent old mother remained in the family. Fortunately, the old mother was still able to take care of herself, so he began to follow his fellow villagers to seek a living outside.

He has done a lot of work, he has strength and can bear hardships, his brain is not slow, he knows a lot of crafts, and finally got a chance to enter the xx factory.

Although he was just an older maintenance worker on an apprentice salary, he still had a job that was envied by everyone at the time.In the village, he can be regarded as a capable person.

In this way, when he completed his apprenticeship and became a regular, he rented a few earthen houses in the village next to the factory area, brought in his old mother, and married Lin Lan a year later.

At that time, Lin Lan's mother died not long ago, and her father was honest and dull. Her sister was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her father for them, so she took her to her aunt in Shicheng hundreds of kilometers away.

The relationship between my aunt and uncle is good, but I am just a housewife who does a small job at home, and I am not able to solve the work problems for my two nieces, but I also try my best to meet two men for my nieces.

The elder sister Lin Hong married the widower Zhang Bing.Zhang Bing's ex-wife died and left a son, but Zhang Bing has a formal job, drives a truck for a transportation company, and has a house on the street.In addition to salary, she can also earn some other income when she is out of the car. The financial situation is considered good, and now she urgently needs someone to take care of her youngest son. When she heard that Lin Hong was taking care of her younger siblings, she was moved.

Although Yu Jianguo's family is poor and his mother-in-law is still disabled, but after all, she has a formal job and is married for the first time, and her mother-in-law can take care of herself.So the two sisters happily married.

In 1986, the second year of their marriage, the two sisters became pregnant and each gave birth to a boy, Yu Yong and Zhang Qiang. Yu Yong was only 26 days younger than Zhang Qiang.This year, Yu Jianguo happened to be 30 years old, and his life seemed to be full of hardships.

There are four sisters in Lin Lan's family, she is the second, the upper one is Lin Hong, the lower two younger sisters are Lin Li and Lin Xia, the eldest is an elder brother, and her mother died when the younger sister Lin Xia was six years old.

I was working in the fields in midsummer, and fainted when I got up. Everyone thought it was heatstroke, but they didn't expect to wake up in the brigade health center, and passed away the next afternoon.

The person left so suddenly that the family hadn’t even discussed whether to send it to the county hospital—it was still in the production team era, and it didn’t cost much to see a doctor in the brigade, but it cost money to send every medicine in the county, and this family was almost Penniless.

And what makes people feel lucky is that Mother Lin usually has no other problems except dizziness and sometimes falls when walking. She is only about 40 years old, but she didn't expect her to die so soon, and she didn't even know the cause.

Lin Lan was no longer in school at that time. Although there were no tuition fees in elementary school, there were many younger siblings in the family, both parents had to work, and housework always had to be done by others. In addition, the idea that girls' studies were useless was deeply ingrained in this family.Therefore, Lin Hong only studied in primary school for two years, and Lin Lan managed to graduate from primary school.

Although her education level is not high, Lin Lan's personality is very delicate and sensitive.

The family is poor and has no mother, and her father is dull and taciturn. Although her elder sister can protect her, she is also very strong. This kind of family background amplifies Lin Lan's natural weakness due to inferiority complex, and it also makes her look forward to marriage very much, looking forward to marrying a good man to get rid of everything now.

Although her marriage with Yu Jianguo began with leaving her hometown and finding someone to live with, it was a major turning point in her life after all, especially because of all the unsatisfactory things since she was a child. Retreat to support her.

But now that I am really married, and I have realized that I have left home and also left my hometown, I find that my life is not as beautiful as I imagined, and there is no major improvement.So disappointment is inevitable, and the mood is often very low.

Yu Jianguo's inherent roughness made him very cold and hard in expressing his feelings. In addition, Lin Lan was young, only 20 years old when Yu Yong was born, and his appearance was handsome, which made him very worried when he was proud, so Yu Jianguo Instead, he often puts on the airs of the head of the family, aloof and unstoppable.

He would leave a few dollars from his salary to Lin Lan and give the rest to Lin Lan. This was his attitude as a man to support his family, and it was also his confidence in this family.

He would also beat and scold Lin Lan when the housework was not done well or did not meet his requirements, especially after drinking, as if he was a different person, finding fault in all kinds of ways.As long as Lin Lan retorts and resists a little, it will usually turn into a fight, and sometimes it will affect Yu Yong.

The sad thing is that this kind of disaster is two-sided. Yu Jianguo would impatiently twitch when Yu Yong was mischievous or crying. The child was not seriously injured.

But Lin Lan was more complicated, she would also hit Yu Yong hard when Yu Jianguo did it to her - saying that she would not live anyway, beat the child to death and the whole family died together - this way of breaking down and venting.In Yu Jianguo's normal state, when he was peaceful at home, he would feel sorry for his children and his own fate.

She has nothing good, and dare not leave Yu Jianguo. After all, this man has given her a stable life, and he is not bad to her when he is not drinking. She is in charge of all the wages.And Yu Yong is her own flesh and blood, she is reluctant, and it is also because this reluctance makes her even more inseparable from this violent man.

This dilemma of not daring to leave but unable to change will make her angry with her own child, so when Yu Yong is mischievous, she will beat him hard, and after beating the child, she will hold the child and cry bitterly.

In such an environment, Yu Yong learned to watch his face at a young age. As long as the two adults are in a bad mood and start to speak violently, he will stop making a sound and try to hide in the corner as much as possible to hide himself.

He will also complete 100% of the parents' demands for finding fault when venting their anger, such as eating dishes that they usually don't like, washing clothes by themselves, and so on.So seeing Yu Jianguo's loud voice today, he immediately said that he was hungry to divert his attention.

Yu Jianguo didn't realize that, in fact, he was very insensitive to the emotional changes of the other two members of his family.

From his point of view, sometimes Lin Lan is simply moaning for nothing and looking for trouble.

He paid all the wages, and she didn't have a job, and she didn't have to work in the fields like in their hometown. She just took a child to cook at home.When he said a few words, he would cry, and if he said a few more words, he would quarrel with him. He might not have had an episode at the time, but he would have an outburst when he was drunk.

Since he worked hard and devoted himself to his family and still couldn't satisfy her, then he should teach her a lesson. Besides, there are a few families in this era that don't quarrel.

Yu Jianguo took Yu Yong to the stewed meat stand in the market. The pork head meat was sold out, so he bought a pig heart and a pig liver, and finally went to the wine shop next to the market to drink two catties of loose baijiu.Because it was a familiar store, he directly borrowed a bottle from the store.

Yu Jianguo's salary is not high, but xx factory was a very profitable unit in the [-]s, especially since his old mother passed away last year, his salary is more than enough to support a family of three.But he didn't have enough working years, and he can't get a house in the factory for the time being. He still rents the house, so they have to save money.

The factory needs to pay a certain amount of money to allocate a house. If the house cannot be allocated, Yu Jianguo also plans to buy a homestead in the village and build a few houses by himself.

In fact, he had planned this for a long time, because the housing allocation in the factory can only be allocated to old houses and small houses for a post like him and the length of service. It is better to build a few large and bright rooms in the village.

But Lin Lan firmly disagreed with building a house in the village. She fled from the countryside and never wanted to go back to the countryside. Even if she changed provinces, she would still be in the countryside.So even if it is an old house, she has to wait. After all, it is a building, and the building is meant to be in the factory area.

Moreover, her elder sister had already married in a nearby town. Although she had a child in front of her brother-in-law, she now had a son. She was not as capable as Lin Hong since she was a child, but she didn't want to be too much worse than her elder sister.

In the end, at Lin Lan's request, Yu Jianguo rented two houses in the factory area.

These one-story houses were built here by the first batch of workers when the factory was built. At that time, they were used to accommodate the family members who came with them. Later, the factory planned this area and stopped building privately.But the rent of these two houses was more than that of the yard they lived in at that time in the village.

Because this batch of houses were built by the workers of the factory themselves, and it was also a deserted beach at that time, they only paid a symbolic amount of money to get the certificate of property right.Lin Lan felt that even if they couldn't share the buildings in the factory, it would be better to buy two of the bungalows they rented now.

Yu Jianguo thought that Yu Yong would live here in the children's kindergarten that had already been run in the factory, and that he would be able to attend elementary school and junior high school in the future, so he made up his mind to apply for housing allocation from the factory, and at the same time worked hard to save money to buy a bungalow here.

So I love to drink more than usual, but I am reluctant to buy a bottle of wine, and I always drink some loose wine.I also smoke very little, not for health, but just to save money, so I almost quit.Said almost except that whoever handed him one, he would take two puffs, and he would not buy it.

Yu Jianguo was very peaceful that night. Although Yu Jianguo still drank three or two drinks, his slightly drunken state only made him chatter and did not get angry.Lin Lan didn't refute anything during this nagging, the couple kept pouring the lo mei on the table into Yu Yong's bowl, and Yu Yong naturally ate too much.
