Chapter 3 Chapter 01 Thanks to Grandma

Wang Gui was supposed to match his distant cousin Li Xiangxiang.I don’t want the Communist Party to give Wang Gui, a poor farmer, the opportunity to study further. Although Wang Gui suffered from mathematics during the college entrance examination, with his impressive English and Chinese scores, he entered the foreign language department of the provincial capital university majestically, majoring in English literature. At that time, Anna was a down-and-out phoenix.Just came back from the devolution, insisted on not marrying the son of the village chief, and not getting along with the masses.When she was transferred back to the city, she was already an older young woman in her twenties, and she was assigned to work as a cobbler in a leather factory in the provincial capital.

Anna didn't believe in fate at first, but after several years of baptism in the mountains and the countryside, she has completely become a fatalist.Back then, she was the class monitor of the preparatory class of the University of Science and Technology in the provincial capital, and her mind was full of dreams of becoming a scientist and studying abroad.Unexpectedly, Mr. Mao's one sentence ruined her life's ideal.She felt that her life was like a glider, going downhill since birth.She had a nanny when she was a child, and she was pulled by a rickshaw in Shanghai to watch dramas in private boxes.Hua Dan, who is well-known in the Shanghai opera circle, is her little grandmother, who acts as a child for her grandfather.Her family used to have a large bungalow in Shanghai. She and her sister lived on the top floor in a European-style attic with a pointed roof and a semicircular balcony, and lived with her grandma with the children of her uncles and aunts.My mother recruits three aunts and six wives to play mahjong every day.These are all told by her mother and my grandmother. She has no memory of it, but only remembers that she once had a white gauze satin dress.

But happy memories don't last long, the aftertaste is like a bubble gum, and it passes away before the sweetness is tasted.Not long after, Anna followed her parents to that poor place in Anhui to support the construction.She often said, this is life!Back then, when many people fled to Hong Kong and Taiwan, her father had already got an official job in Hong Kong, but because he couldn't bear to part with Shanghai's beautiful wife and a few smart children, he insisted on going back to Shanghai.So it also saves a period of separation between the two places. If you want to suffer, everyone will suffer together. You don’t have to wait until the 1990s to go to CCTV’s "The End of the World at This Time" to find relatives.Every time Anna sees "Mr. Liu is looking for his long-lost daughter. He went to Taiwan in 1949, and his daughter was only two years old..." on TV, she sighs that her father might as well have taken her to Hong Kong back then. Going back to look for her sister, there won't be us two debt collectors.

Anna was only eleven years old when she arrived in Anhui.Back then, it was a poor village, not even a decent brick and tile house, and there were few people on the streets.She misses Shanghai Xiaolongbao and eel paste very much.Now that I can't eat milk, I have to grow my own vegetables instead.When Anna carried a toilet bowl of feces to the vegetable field every day, she began to feel sick, and her young heart naturally complained about the new society.Anna's resistance is from the heart, it is unforgettable, and it will not be forgiven until death.Her catchphrase is, if there is no new society, how can I come to Anhui?If there is no new society, how can I be devolved?If there was no new society, how could I follow that country bumpkin Wang Gui?Anna's mother is very easy-going, she has a home wherever she goes - she used to be the wife of a rich family, and she was taken care of by servants, but when she became poor, she was very comfortable going out to the kitchen.The old man was demoted to Anhui. She could have stayed in Shanghai with a group of children, but she followed without hesitation. She even brought the red-painted wooden hoop toilet of Shanghai, as if she wanted to take root. look.In fact, Anna's mother has indeed taken root. She raised nine children in a bungalow in Shanghai before, and made persistent efforts to give birth to ten children in a straw shed in Anhui.Anna is the sixth child, the eldest brought by her mother at that time.Miss Jiao went from the sky to the ground, and began to take on the responsibility of nanny - taking care of the children for the mother.

Anna is full of bourgeoisie in her bones.Even if she wears clothes that are two inches shorter, even if she eats stir-fried vegetables with pickled mustard, she will arrange her life properly.She braided her sister's sky-high braids, and put on her mother's only remaining aqua-red high-end cheongsam, twisting and turning in front of the mirror.The books she read were out of date and criticized by the times.What, ah, "Hamlet", and "Anna Karenina".The lament she often sends out is the sympathy with Anna, and what she laments is the heroism of Anna resolutely running to the train at the end.The most touching way to die is to crash into the train and fall apart without compromise.

In high school, Anna met her first love: a tall and handsome turbo driver, her classmate, and a bourgeoisie who could play the violin.The turbo driver seemed even more unlucky.My father used to be Bald Jiang's personal doctor, and he came back from Germany.Just because Chen Guofu fell in love with his beautiful wife, he viciously threw him and his children on the mainland, sweeping his wife away.The two people with the same fate wiped out a brilliant spark together.The turbine driver even taught Anna German, and made an appointment to go to the University of Göttingen in Germany to study for a doctorate after graduation.It's a pity that the ten-year catastrophe took the two of them's original Ph.D. time to plant land and herd cattle.While Anna was frowning, she was rolling up cow dung with her hands and drying firewood for the winter, while the turbine driver was crackling and snapping leeches out of her calves in the paddy fields in the mountains.

When Anna returned to the city, it was the first time that the provincial capital she hated before was so cute; compared with the kerosene lamps in the countryside, the electric lights here are like a little sun.She has long forgotten the neon lights of Shanghai. Two days after Anna joined the factory as an apprentice, the head of the personnel department of the factory introduced his cousin and nephew to her selfishly.The reason was that Anna stood out among a group of old girls who had just come out of the countryside. She had white skin, spoke softly, and looked like Zhou Xuan.Anna still tells me now: "I'm afraid that Zhou will take revenge on me. If I don't talk to his nephew, he won't make me a regular." Wang Gui's cousin's surname is Zhou.

Anna backed off at the first sight of Wang Gui.Anna has always ridiculed Wang Gui as "the majestic canopy marshal".Because Wang Gui is my father, I never thought he was ugly, he is tall and solid, very handsome! Anna saw Wang Gui studying English literature, so she chatted with him about sonnets.Unexpectedly, Wang Gui didn't like this very much. Wang Gui's favorite was Henan Bangzi, and he could sing a whole set by himself, both as a man and as a woman.Anna's heart felt cold at the moment.Wang Gui's aesthetic point of view has remained unchanged for 30 years. Up to now, he still likes to listen to Bangzi and Henan Opera. Later, when he became more foreign, he liked Teresa Teng's melodious voice. He could sing the whole song "Wine and Coffee" without even passing through down.Whenever Anna listened to Strauss at home, Wang Gui would say that the cotton player is here again.

Anna decided to break off the relationship after meeting Wang Gui twice.The reason is that Wang Gui invited Anna to watch a movie, and they had foolishly eaten a bowl of noodles together before.Wang Gui is a master who will not die when he sees food. He used to be hungry in his hometown, and only started to eat when he was in college. If he can have a bowl of Yangchun noodles, there must be no oil residue left.Seeing that Wang Gui didn't push back, Anna picked up a large strand of noodles with her chopsticks, pulled them straight up into the air, and happily shook the chopsticks a few times, sucking them into her belly with a loud noise like feeding a pig. Immediately Fengyan changed drastically.She kicked Wang Gui with her feet and said in a low voice, eat slowly.Wang Gui actually replied that it will get colder later, and it will lose its fragrance when it is colder. He ignored Anna's advice and wiped out the noodles like a storm, until his nose was sweating.Anna was disappointed.According to her petty bourgeois theory, food is education. She really can't live with such an uneducated person, especially she can't imagine what the child will look like in the future. Three words come to mind: bad breeding.From now on, whenever Anna finds me disliked, Wang Gui will be involved, and her final concluding remarks will definitely be: Oh, I don't blame you, it's really because I didn't choose the right one.

Anna cried and told her mother that she would make a clean break with the country bumpkin.Mom was very scheming, and said calmly, you bring him to meet me. Wang Gui's tact and cleverness were fully demonstrated when he met his old mother-in-law.Although he only saw Anna three times, he called his mother-in-law mother as soon as he entered the door. His intimacy made the mother-in-law smile, and there was no reason to suspect that he was not from the bottom of his heart.After experiencing the noodle turmoil last time and watching Anna leave without mercy, Wang Gui behaved this time.The mother-in-law made a meal of braised pork, and he only picked up a piece politely, and nodded repeatedly to praise his mother's skill.Later I asked Wang Gui, just one piece, did you taste the taste?Wang Gui said that it melted as soon as he imported it, and he felt itchy in his heart. After three days after returning home, he was still relishing the taste of the braised pork.I'm dizzy!Do you believe?In this day and age, just a piece of braised pork can overwhelm the charm of Xiao Zhouxuan!What he was thinking about was not the jade girl, but the braised pork!

With a wave of her mother-in-law's hand, Anna's life was fixed.The mother-in-law said: "He is a poor farmer of three generations, how good is his background? How strong is his foundation when he joined the party in high school? He studied foreign language, so you can eat spicy food in the future. Look farther away. What's the use of looking good? You can't eat it. Think about your age, look at your background, you are just a cobbler, if someone does not dislike you and wants you, you are lucky!" Anna was full of grief and indignation, and married with grievances.In the face of reality, the fantasy of love has become a cobblestone cherished in childhood, which makes people like it but is worthless. Not long after Anna married, Wang Gui came to help foreign countries.I was born in the envy of everyone. At that time, Wang Gui was working as an interpreter in Tanzania, Africa, helping to build the Tanzania-Zambia Railway. He often sent milk powder, clothes and money back.I have been handsome since I was a child, and everyone praised me as "it's a good thing I don't look like my father".Anna has also been proud of this for a long time, thinking that the gene allocation was very successful, and omitted the harmful part.It wasn't until I grew up that Anna realized the seriousness of the problem. Every time she scolded me, she said, "I have a pig's brain, just like your father!" God's distribution of DNA is indeed fair. He gave me the appearance of my little Zhou Xuan, and also gave me the brains of Marshal Canopy.But if I am asked to choose, I still don't want to have the appearance of Marshal Canopy.At least, it is easier for me to marry now, all I need is to find a brain.
