PDLP Chapter 313 Reconciling with the Past
Chapter 313 Reconciling with the Past
Whether in the countryside or in the city, the standard requirements for marriage are: a house in the city and a car for transportation.
Lele’s third uncle bought a house for his son when he got married. It was originally a two-bedroom apartment.
But when my brother renovated the house, he only installed one bedroom and turned the other into a large study.
I don’t know what young people think.
But outsiders said that there was no plan to let parents live there.
Originally, after paying the down payment, the monthly installments were also paid by my uncle.
After the renovation was completed, things became a bit tense and he threatened not to return it.
Lele didn’t ask about what happened in the end for a long time.
Lele's uncle, his son took the civil service exam after graduating from university.
After three years of taking the exam, I finally passed.
The same goes for buying a house or a car and paying the monthly mortgage payments.
My uncle has to pay off all the debts.
I borrowed 50,000 yuan from Lele, and it’s been two or three years, but Lele never asked for it back.
My uncle is in his fifties and is as black as charcoal.
Farming in the summer and driving a truck to transport goods in the winter.
Now I'm busy arranging blind dates to find a wife...
Raising children is a way to provide for your old age, but you have to pay first.
In order to avoid giving their sons an excuse to be looked down upon, the parents put all their efforts into the competition.
Some families work hard, some worry, and some families really get the filial piety of their sons.
......
Auntie seemed to be just talking, but Lele didn't respond.
Auntie also silently looked at the eaves, the leaves, and the clear blue sky after the rainstorm...
Until Lele's hair was dry, Lele stretched his arms.
I stood up and said to my aunt:
“Giving money as charity brings wealth;
Giving Dharma will gain wisdom and intelligence;
Give fearlessly and you will be healthy and live longer.
The results of these three types of giving will all be rewarded.
Auntie, you will be rewarded for doing good deeds.
As for the children, they will have their own blessings, so you don't need to worry too much."
The aunt smiled, revealing her full set of teeth.
He shook his head and said, "Well, I've come to terms with it. They're all that old now, and I can't control them anymore."
Lele and her aunt returned to the room.
Lele sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about her son.
Now that I am away from home, the person I worry about most is my son.
The soft little thing is so cute.
Especially as children grow up, every day feels different and there are little surprises every day.
But, as my aunt said, raising a child is not an easy thing.
Giving too much love can easily turn into spoiling;
If children are not given enough love, they will easily lack love and fail to learn how to love.
Anyone who can grasp the unbiased, neither too much nor too little love is a first-time parent.
There is no reference book in the world that teaches people how to be a parent.
She still remembers that when she was a child, her parents had no time to take care of her, and she was locked in the yard at the age of three.
A three-year-old shouldn't have many memories, but she remembers them very clearly.
She remembered what she had done.
Every morning when I open my eyes, the courtyard of more than 400 square meters is quiet.
When she climbed up from the kang on the large bunk bed, she was only slightly taller than the kang.
Slide off the kang and go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
There are usually dry steamed buns, which you can eat with water.
Then he moved a small stool and sat at the door.
The main door is a double door, locked with a hasp, and there is a gap between the two doors.
She lay at the mouth of the gap and looked outside with one eye.
She is so small that all she can see is her feet.
Occasionally, a pair of feet would hurriedly pass by the door.
After waiting for a long, long time, grandma will come, and she knows grandma's feet.
Because my grandmother's feet were bound, they were a little deformed.
Wear cloth shoes with protruding toes.
Grandma squatted down and she could see her grandmother's face.
Grandma would bring her some delicious food.
That is the most beautiful expectation of the day.
It could be an apple, a piece of steamed cake, or a small plate of raisins...
Put it in through the gap between the threshold and the door. Lele's little arms can reach it...
I started school at the age of six, and the school was two kilometers away from my home.
The mornings in the northwest in winter are very dark because daybreak does not occur until after eight o'clock.
She has to leave at around six o'clock with her sister who is in the fourth grade.
Two little girls, holding hands, walked to school along the gravel road and along a long canal.
In sparsely populated areas, you rarely meet classmates on the road.
Once, as the two were walking, a dark shadow swayed towards them.
The two people were so scared that they hugged each other and dared not breathe.
When the shadow came closer and made a "hum hum hum" sound, the two people's hearts began to beat.
It's a pig...
In her memory, her sister took care of her much more than her parents.
But they—all the other parents in the village—are like that.
Because we are poor, survival is the first priority.
Parents work hard from morning till night, and they attribute all their hard work to their children.
"It's all for you!"
"You must be filial in the future!"
......
If children have a little self-awareness and are a little rebellious, they are labeled as unfilial.
For the generation of the 1980s, the gap between parents and children was an insurmountable chasm.
Because of the times.
Parents who have experienced enough hardship cannot imagine the sweetness of today's society.
Children who generally received compulsory education received higher education after the expansion of college enrollment.
They began a real rebellion.
Lele is also one of them.
Reconciling with the past was her original intention in studying psychology.
Now, Lele often feels emotional when he sees Moyuan's life.
From living by luck to now having four people surrounding a baby, it’s only been thirty years!
......
Lele took out her laptop and wrote down what she had seen, heard and felt in the past few days.
In addition to reading, she also likes writing.
When it was time for evening classes, Lele went to the main hall to meditate as usual.
She began to enjoy the atmosphere a little.
Li Qingyu is here too.
He didn't see Lele all afternoon.
After evening class, I followed Lele and walked towards the dormitory.
Asked: "Is it okay at night? Otherwise, you can sleep in my room and I'll watch over you!"
Lele looked up at Li Qingyu. What happened?
Xiaoxiao replied, "No need! I've become familiar with the lay Buddhists. My faith in the Tao is also stable, so I'm not afraid anymore."
Li Qingyu said "oh" and stopped talking.
The two of them went back to their rooms.
Before going to bed at night, Lele tied the door after getting the consent of the aunts.
Sleeping soundly like this...
The floodwaters receded on Saturday.
A group of volunteers are cleaning the road surface, and professional technicians are confirming the safety of the bridge deck.
It was not until noon that we were finally allowed to pass.
The three of them packed up their things silently. Lele said goodbye to the aunts and drove away from Longquan Temple.
After getting down the mountain, the cell phone signal was restored.
As soon as I recovered, the phone rang. It was Wei Wuya.
A hoarse and tired voice: "Wife..."
Feeling wronged and caring.
Lele sat in the back, covering her mouth and nose, feeling like crying.
With tears in her eyes, she whispered, "Husband."
Wei Wuya sighed softly: "Let's have barbecue tonight!"
Lele laughed and said, "You understand me very well."
After hanging up the phone, I looked through the overflowing WeChat messages.
Start with the important people.
Jiani left a message on Thursday afternoon: "Madam, the social responsibility category is worth 5 points based on the proportion. Do you have any idea how to get it?"
