far and near

Yu Wenzhao, the old party secretary of Yuzhuang, threw a cigarette to his son-in-law Ren Songhong. The two faced each other in silence for a moment in front of the wooden hydrangea in the corner of the yard. Behind them, Yu Wenzhao's wife Hu Zefen faintly cried from the three-story small western-style building.

"Is it really necessary to leave?" Yu Wenzhao's brows were covered with majestic wrinkles. His daughter and son-in-law were brought back by him this time, and Yu Wenzhao couldn't hold back his face when he heard about this trouble from the villagers. .

"She's determined, I can't do anything about it." Ren Songhong, speaking with a cigarette in his mouth, is arrogant in front of others, but in front of his father-in-law, he deliberately restrains his complacency—he can't help but be complacent, and he has already become a neighbor at the age of 36. the county magistrate.

At that time, Yu Wenzhao didn't like him when he looked left and right, and his family was a well-known poor household in the village. Even if he was admitted to university and became a member of the township government after graduation, Yu Wenzhao always felt that he had graduated from medical school. An only child deserves better.After three years of hard work, he reluctantly agreed until his daughter Yu Xiaomin's stomach showed shape, and it happened that Ren Songhong was promoted to a regular department at that time.But the condition is that the children follow their family names.

It's only been ten years of marriage, and the size of the child is on the chest of an adult, but Yu Xiaomin and Ren Songhong have a divorce.The first of them was the deputy chief physician of the Central Hospital, and the other was the dignified county magistrate.But when I got home, I tore my face, scratched my hair, threw bowls and bottles, and after nearly half a year of quarreling, divorce was finally put on the agenda.

"She's determined? If you were more Gujia, how could she think of this step? Caicai is only under ten years old!" Yu Wenzhao didn't care which county magistrate was in front of him, and first scolded Ren Songhong, "You tell me the truth, Is it outside?" Now that the reform and opening up has been going on for nearly 20 years, Hong Kong's return is just around the corner, let alone in the county town or in the city, there are a lot of men who have become rich outside of Yuzhuang, he doesn't believe it As the county magistrate, Ren Songhong didn't have that kind of trouble.

Ren Songhong seemed to have been stepped on by the tail, dropped the cigarette butt on the ground, and raised her eyebrows seriously, "Dad, you can't talk nonsense. Do you think I want to divorce? When I am going to be promoted, you think I have a good face? "

"Dad, can you leave with peace of mind if you don't catch up with the promotion?" An immature voice sounded from behind, and Weng and his son-in-law turned their heads together. holding book.

Not only did Yu Ren's surname not follow Ren Songhong's, but his appearance and temperament did not follow him at all, especially that mouth that had already been passed down to [-] to [-] percent by Yu Xiaomin.When she was young, Yu Xiaomin had a delicate face, although her teeth were sharp and sharp, Ren Songhong just felt that she was a girl with a straight temper, full of innocence and cuteness.In the middle age, Yu Xiaomin's mouth became more ruthless, and her face became more and more fleshy. Ren Songhong felt that it was bitter and mean.

Yu Ren is wearing a ponytail. Grandpa likes his fair face and delicate facial features, but the old man can't stand it when he opens his mouth, "Grandpa, don't persuade them, let them leave. It's okay if my dad doesn't come home." When I got home, they would fight and fight, which hindered my study." Yu Ren followed Yu Wenzhao's surname and was used to calling "Grandpa" since she was a child, but she called "Grandpa Ren" for her father's father.

Ren Songhong looked away uncomfortably, "Kids don't interfere with adults' affairs."

"Don't let the adult's affairs fall into the eyes of children." Yu Ren put away the encyclopedia reader in his hand, and walked in front of his father Ren Songhong, "Dad, do you think so?"

Ren Songhong's county magistrate's face suddenly collapsed, and the next second he held on, his eyes widened, but when he met his daughter's clear eyes, he couldn't speak - the matter between him and Liao Hua was hit by Yu Ren, although That was two years ago, but Yu Ren, who was eight years old at that time, was already sensible.

"What's the matter? Caicai, tell grandpa." The old party secretary Yu Wenzhao also found out something sensitively and asked the child to explain.

"It's okay, it's just my parents and my mother who always quarrel." Yu Ren walked into the room, as if thinking of something, he turned his head and continued to stare at Ren Songhong, "Dad, don't think about me, I agree."

If it is said that her daughter, whose surname, appearance and personality do not follow her, has had a relationship with her since she was born, then this time persuading her to leave is the first big relationship between her and Ren Songhong.

Ren Songhong took out a cigarette from his pocket, shivered and poured one out, but it scattered all over the floor. His eyes were slightly red, and he looked at the father-in-law, "Dad—" He choked up, swallowed and sighed again , "This child, hey." When he and his wife had a falling out at home, Yu Ren would persuade the fight from the beginning to then indifferently close the door and ignore it.He also tentatively asked his daughter, "Who do you want to be with, Mom and Dad?"

"I don't follow anyone, I live with my grandparents." Yu Ren's answer made Ren Songhong helpless, she really didn't know who followed this cold-hearted thing.But today, in front of her father-in-law, she declared her support for the divorce, and even said something about "adult affairs". Ren Songhong, who was horrified by the poke, felt that the child's talent for speaking yin and yang seemed to follow her.

The adults hadn't cleaned up the chicken feathers all over the place, so Yu Ren made up his mind—she didn't want to continue studying in the municipal elementary school. She was brought up by her grandparents at the age of eight. When her parents took her to the city, Yu Ren felt that she I can't integrate into the new group.

So when she came back from the summer vacation this time, Yu Yiren made a fuss and cried and cheated. In addition, Yu Wenzhao made up his mind and said, "If my family can produce the first college student, it can also produce the second", and she finally stayed in Yuzhuang.This also caused Yu Ren and his own mother to form a knot.

The child who was pregnant for ten months and vomited for half a year did not want to spend time with her. Yu Xiaomin was puzzled, "Am I a loser? You eat or wear? I don't beat or scold you. Why are you so ignorant?" conscience?"

How does the ten-year-old Yu Ren know what is "conscience"?She was just afraid of the crackling and hysteria outside the house.Mother Yu Xiaomin used to lie in bed for a whole day after quarreling. Dad would probably go to that woman's house—two years ago when she came home from school early, the weird voice in the parents' bedroom stopped abruptly. That female voice must not be my mother.

She brought up this matter after her mother returned from studying abroad. Ren Songhong firmly swore that the child was lying nonsense, but she was repeatedly pressed by her mother in private, "Think about it again, what does that girl look like?"

Yu Renzhen hoped that he hadn't run into that incident, and regretted that he had told his mother that it seemed that it was his fault that the family became eerie.So she never mentioned anything about her father and that woman.

When the persimmons were red, Yu Ren had already transferred to Yuzhuang Primary School for three months.At first, the old branch secretary was worried that his granddaughter would not adapt after returning to the countryside, so he had to do the pick-up and drop-off several times a day by himself.Later, I found that Yu Ren was like a fish in water, and he quickly got along with the children in the village, and he was very cheerful at school every day, so he gradually relaxed.But the complaints of school teachers are increasing.

Yu Ren corrected the English teacher's pronunciation in class, saying that the teacher made a mistake in pronouncing "W" instead of "big no stay", and the pronunciation of "V" felt a vibration on the lower lip instead of "hello".The English teacher with a junior high school diploma and a reformed private teacher immediately sank his face and said, "You can learn as the teacher teaches you!" Yu Rengan argued repeatedly, "The teacher just pronounced it wrong!" He also stood up and shouted at the class, "You guys Come on, follow me to the right ones—'w', 'v'."

Yu Ren had a high prestige in the class, and he said what he said. A group of children opened their ignorant eyes and were led by the little teacher to read, "'w'—'v'——"

And the bad-tempered English teacher cares whether your old man is the village party secretary or the old man is the county magistrate, how can he tolerate being spoiled by a child for half an acre of land, she slapped Yu Ren twice, and Yu Ren cried and packed his schoolbag. He ran home and collapsed under the pomegranate tree in the yard because he didn't want to go back to school.

The old-fashioned village party secretary believes in one truth: You must listen to what the teacher says, which is the same absolute principle as you must listen to what the party says.The English teacher, who was scared after beating the child, also went home to apologize to the old party secretary, and before leaving, he gently persuaded him, "This child has such a temper... I am really afraid that I will suffer in the future."

This sentence can be said to speak to Yu Wenzhao's heart: daughter Yu Xiaomin is a character who refuses to suffer, which has led to people making fun of her divorce now.Grandchildren are not a bad thing, but if you can't control your mouth, it will cause big things in the future. "Young girl, you can't raise your temper too much, and you can't be strict with your mouth, or it will be difficult to deal with." He asked himself that he had spoiled Yu Ren too much in the past, and finally spoiled her bad temper.

Just as the old man reprimanded Yu Ren with a straight face, "How can the teacher be wrong? You have only studied in the city for two years, how many years has the teacher taught", when a baby's cry came from the yard across the road from Yu's house, Yu Wenzhao's face instantly changed To put it bluntly, he slapped his legs and turned around, cursing in his mouth, "Yu Kaiming, the bastard, said he had a miscarriage or gave birth!"

Yu Ren didn't have to go back to school for a while, and his ears became much cleaner.She climbed up to the second floor and looked at the small courtyard of Yu Kaiming's house—living in the village for a long time, she knew what the crying meant.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, under Yu Wenzhao's call, the village director, women's federation, and militia captain all arrived with people. Cursing, "Yu Kaiming from Dog-Day, this year's indicators are stuck so well, and Dog-Day has to have a super birth at the end of the year. This year's awards and prizes will be ruined."

Yu Ren held the pear he touched in his left hand, and leaned on the railing to watch the excitement while eating.Generally, this kind of over-birth must be fined, but I heard from my grandfather that many people will go to other places to avoid the fine of over-birth, or clean up the house, and wait for someone to come to the door and fine them like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water—" You punish me, you pay for everything valuable in this house, if you have the ability to pay for the lives of my whole family."

Yu Kaiming's family could not have such clamor, because he was born deaf and dumb, and his wife, Hu Muzhi, was mildly disabled due to polio sequelae.

But honest people just don’t do honest things, not to mention the eldest and second child, Yu Kaiming, a deaf-mute man with a heart, still has to pursue a son. The third child was born by Hu Muzhi at her mother’s house a month ago, and she secretly brought it back this morning. , and another daughter.But Yu Kaiming has made an agreement with his distant relatives that if the child is still a daughter, he will be given to them for adoption.

As a result, when picking up the child, the timid and honest Hu Muzhi couldn't bear it. She tightly protected the child in her arms and refused to let go. When Yu Kaiming fought with her, the child was awakened and burst into tears, and then the old secretary and the others were called.

Yu Tianqi, the village director, handed cigarettes to the old party secretary and put his hips on his hips to preach the policy, "It's so lenient that you have two children, what's the matter? Do you think the party discipline and state laws are a joke?" Yu Kaiming couldn't understand, and Hu Muzhi bowed his head and wept while holding the child.

A group of village leaders and cadres in the village got together to check the situation again, and discussed with the person who came to pick up the child.And more and more spectators gathered around Yu Kaiming's house.

"Go, go, go back, go back—" Yu Tianqi is two generations younger than the old branch secretary, and he is of the same generation as Yu Ren, but four times his age, and he is quite prestigious when speaking in the village. The people outside whispered to the old party secretary again, but the township cadre saw this and slipped away under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Yu Ren, who was lying on the railing, gnawed down a big mouthful of pears. Grandma Hu Zefen happened to go upstairs to put away the quilt. Seeing the child watching the fun seriously, she nodded her head lovingly, "Caicai, what are you looking at?"

"Grandma, they are discussing to take the baby away, so that they won't take up the extra birth quota in Grandpa's village." Yu Ren was about to run downstairs, but grandma slapped the back of his head even harder, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense if the child doesn't understand!"

"I'm not talking nonsense," Yu Ren shook the pear juice in his hands, "The two people who took the children are not from our village, they are human trafficking!" Yu Ren wanted to rush downstairs to save people, but he was covered by his grandmother She dragged her mouth away from the railing, "What is human trafficking! It's a foster care, and if you don't do that, your grandpa won't be able to get a job from above!" She stamped her feet and put more force on her hands, "Your grandpa is right, your mouth, you have to Take care of it."
