old lily no spring

Ge Tianfeng, secretary of Gecun Village Party Committee, was an old man, and when he entered the yard, he told Wu Fang to close the door, "What's the fuss? It's Chinese New Year." His house happened to be the day when all the daughters and sons-in-law came to pay New Year's greetings. Called to the distant cousin Ge Tianbao's house, "At first it was the third child and the fourth child in his family who fought, but later the second child fought with her father. The house was smashed badly, and the couple were howling there."

After smoking half a pack of cigarettes at the house of Ge Tianbao, a villager who was in a mess, Ge Tianfeng finally understood the whole story, "It's just playing with a mobile phone, making such a big fuss, you don't think it's embarrassing, but I do." He glanced at the red-eyed Ge The Tianbao couple said to their siblings, "You go out first, and we adults will discuss it first."

Ge Hua raised his eyes and looked directly at Ge Erkang. The fourth child was so frightened today that he almost slipped back to his room against the corner of the wall.Ziwei tugged at Ge Hua, "Second Sister, let's go out first." Ge Hua's face was bruised and purple, as if smeared, her left eye was still swollen, the corner of her mouth was completely broken, and her gums were bleeding.She went to the yard to wash the face of this man who was neither human nor ghost, and the air-conditioning on her body frightened Ziwei.She found a potion, "Sister, apply some."

Ge Hua sat silently in the yard, looking up at the warm sun today, feeling that the top of her head was getting hot gradually.

"Sister, your head is broken." Ziwei looked at the blood oozing from the second sister's scalp, but Ge Hua covered the wound, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Although it hurts to hold the corner of her mouth when speaking.She seemed to be going crazy today, but she knew very well that it was her biological parents who scolded her and the one who beat her was her biological father.This is to let the people of Gecun know that if the family spits out the "rebellious" saliva, they will drown her.

"Sister, I'm afraid." Ziwei squatted next to Ge Hua, she had already cried several times.

Ge Hua was also afraid.When she was young, except for being stubborn, or daring to grab her mother's hand that was about to be slapped, she never had conflicts with her parents.The words she swears today are not without viciousness, and the fists like her father's are not without force.At that moment, what she hit seemed to be a shadowy monster blocking her head. The 18 years of indifferent parental love failed to stop the monster. motor nerves.Ge Hua couldn't recognize himself at that moment.

"I've been beaten." Ge Hua stroked Ziwei's head, "I'll admit it even if I'm sent to the bureau."

The children were gone, so Ge ​​Tianfeng was finally able to let go and talk about Ge Tianbao in the room, "Look at you, a man in his forties, why was he beaten up by his own girl? You're still crying when it's over, how dare you cry?" He In his fifties, he joined the army as a scout when he was young, and later went back to his hometown to run an agricultural product processing industry. He had seen some of them, but it was the first time his biological daughter beat up his crying father. Ge Tianfeng's first reaction was shame.First of all, Ge Tianbao lost face as a man.Secondly, he lost face as a father.In the end, Ge Hua lost the face of countless good wives, mothers and daughters of Gecun's ancestors.

"That girl has been used to wildness for the past few years. You have seen that head and strength, brother. I can't control her anymore." Ge Tianbao was surprised ever since he saw that Ge Hua could lift the basket of corn and potatoes above his shoulders. His waist strength is comparable to when he was young.Looking at the appearance of the thin monkey of the sick man's family, the fourth child, he sometimes feels angry and anxious.

"You didn't bother with her." Ge Tianfeng glared at him, "That is to say, this child was lucky enough to catch up with someone's sponsorship to study in the third year of high school. The whole village knows about his good grades, and he does a lot of homework. Are you stupid? "

Ge Tianfeng and the couple settled the matter, "She is eighteen this year, and after the college entrance examination, she will go to university for four years. Isn't it very easy to find a good job outside? What are you doing with this kid right now?"

"I didn't want to scold her, I was teaching the third child a lesson." Ge Tianbao refused to accept it.

"Third child? Just now your third child said that he wanted to retake the third year of junior high school, but he was scolded and beaten by the fourth child. You don't care if your brother beats your sister. As a father, you don't say that a bowl of water is not fair, and you teach your children a lesson. Partial? On the surface, each has a stick, but secretly you can feel sorry for whoever you should feel sorry for. You don’t know this? Decades of salt have been eaten for nothing?” Ge Tianfeng has two daughters and one son, and the twin daughters are lucky not to occupy the son He has a household registration quota, and when he grows up and gets married, he is especially filial to his parents to help his younger brother. He has a set of children's scriptures in his heart that he can tell Ge Tianbao and his wife.

"I know that you didn't compete with other families for the homestead back then, and you were so angry that you didn't even go home. The whole family went to Beijing to work. It was not easy to raise a few children. It was not easy to fight for a son, and then came back proudly." Secretary Ge said. When the words reached Wu Fang's heart, her eyes were red again. Giving birth to Ge Erkang was the greatest contribution she made to this family.

"We have more than 300 households in Ge Village, and there are nearly [-] households with the surname Ge. Do you know which family rushed to marry their daughter before they were old?" He had long been unhappy with Ge Tianbao. I feel that Ge Yanzi's surname Ge has lost face by marrying off at the [-]th or [-]th——Ge family, who expects to sell their daughter for money? "The matter of the boss is over. Fortunately, your second child is still able to hold his breath. If the third child wants to study, you can let her study. If she fails to pass the test, it is her own business. When the time comes, she should work honestly and go to work. If she should marry People naturally go to marry. Why do you insist on keeping your child at home after reaching the Pugao line? Are you afraid that she will run away? Do you think that if she does not run away, your face will be bright?"

"You know how much it takes to spend three years in high school." Ge Tianbao was still arguing about not giving Ziwei a high school education.

"I know, it costs 7000 yuan to die. Your fourth child lost 6000 yuan in one night at Pai Gow in the village next door last month. Who is going to pay for the ransom?" He took out another cigarette, and Ge Tianbao hurriedly lit it for him. Get angry.

"Son and daughter, keep a bowl of water as small as possible. The daughter can eat as much as you can and use you as much as you can? They are happy to be grateful to their parents, and they will be able to honor you less in the future? Are you stupid? You know how to stare at the little money in front of you." Today, he took advantage of the troubles of the Ge family to speak out what he was holding back, "If you believe me about this, then do it like this..."

When Ge Hua was called into the house, her parents didn't even look at her.As soon as cousin Ge Tianfeng opened his mouth, her heart skipped a beat, "You're here too, I need to take care of this matter, so go directly to the police station."

Keeping a criminal record will definitely have an impact on the college entrance examination.Ge Hua lowered her head and clenched her fists without speaking. After all, she was still a child, and she didn't understand the deep-seated interests here.

"Your father cried just now. After all, he is his own flesh and blood. He can't send you to the police station. You will be punished at home for this matter, and it's over. Second child, can you admit it?" Ge Tianfeng made Ge Tianbao and Wu Fang raised her head, "First of all, I have to apologize to your father. If you try to reason again, you will be wrong by ten percent."

Ge Hua was very puzzled by this. Could it be that with the relationship between father and daughter, the father can beat people wantonly, while the daughter can only suffer?

Her long eyebrows frowned, her left eye was half swollen, showing that she was thinking, and she didn't agree with Ge Tianfeng's words.

"As a daughter, I will fly out of this family sooner or later. Your parents are strict on the surface, but I don't know how much they love you in their hearts? They even discussed with me, saying that if you are admitted to a good university, they will support you."

The face of the second daughter of the Ge family showed a puzzled look, the sun came out from the west?

"But when people ask you when you go out, you just say that you talked back to your father and were beaten by your father. You must never say that you beat your father. If this continues, how will your father behave in the village? How will your family behave?" Ge Tianfeng said The words made Ge Tianbao blush, his nose was still hurting, and his lower cheek was swollen from his daughter's tender fist.

Ge Hua thought for a while, then suddenly looked up at the branch secretary, "Uncle Tang, what about the youngest's reading?"

"Why are you still bargaining, child?" Ge Tianfeng suddenly wanted to laugh, and found that his cousin and his cousin's wife had given birth to a child with a brain.

"I can get a loan when I go to college, but my parents have to pay for Ziwei's re-education and high school." Ge Hua raised her chin, the corners of her bruised mouth were bloody, "It costs less than paying for my college education. "

She still has a few months to live at home, and Ziwei still has several years to go. If they don't go downhill, the two sisters will have a hard time in the future.After all, the father's so-called "face" is more important than the daughter's future.Koukou Suosuo is unwilling to pay for his high school education, but now he wants to get his "face" back, even willing to pay for college tuition.

Ge Tianfeng glanced at Ge Tianbao and Wu Fang, both of them hesitated for a while, and finally Ge Tianbao said, "Okay. Then she has to fight for herself."

"Dad, that's not what you said when Ge Erkang's prodigal family was ruined forever." Ge Hua unceremoniously exposed the shortcoming, "Uncle, I understand what you said, and no one will ask me about today's I know it's wrong to hit someone, so I apologize to my dad."

"Okay - okay." Ge Tianfeng was glad that the second child was a sensible person.

"But——" Ge Hua wiped the corner of her mouth, "My dad also wants to apologize to me, and Ge Erkang wants to apologize to my third son." Her stubborn temper was still deep in her bones, "My dad made the move first, and he smashed it." I didn’t stop punching until I hit back. According to the law, this is called self-defense.”

"Why are you so ignorant, kid?" Wu Fang was anxious, she stood up and scolded Ge Hua, but was stopped by her second daughter, "Mom, it's not that I'm ignorant, I just want justice. My father won't give me this justice today , you don’t want to get cheap from me in the future.” It’s all calculations, so put out the account book and calculate it clearly, Ge Hua pointed to his face, “If it’s the fourth child, my dad will never be willing to bear such a heavy burden.” Hand. Uncle, don’t talk about being kind and filial. I will give my father this face in front of outsiders, but he, including my mother, and Erkang, will not be able to bully me and Ziwei in the future. What do you have to say? Let's talk about it. You just want your daughter to be successful in the future, so that she can support her parents. The money that should be paid by me, I will not lose a penny in the future. But the premise is that today's beating is settled."

Ge Hua walked directly in front of Ge Tianbao. This was the first time she had looked at her father's face so seriously since she grew up: he already had gray hair at the temples, and the hanging needle lines between his eyebrows had been deeply sunken in the past two years. He inherited his high nose bridge to Ge Hua, as well as his tall stature.Such a father who was looked up to by Ge Hua when he was a child cried like a bullied child after fighting with his daughter today.Ge Hua looked into Ge Tianbao's eyes, "Dad, I did something wrong today. I apologize to you." After speaking, he bowed.

Ge Tianbao's eyes fell on Ge Hua's face for two seconds and he quickly turned away. He said, "Forget it, I have too much temper as a father." This is a forced apology.

Ge Hua turned around and looked at the village party secretary, "Uncle Tang, look, this matter is over today? I'm sorry to trouble you."

Ge Tianfeng looked at Ge Hua, took several puffs of cigarettes in a row, his eyes were full of shock, and finally, he pressed down the cigarette butt, "It's okay, I'll be back."
