Spike Story 严歌苓 9311Words 2018-03-20
I don't know what kind of fertilizer she put on to make her grow up like this. Grandma discussed it with herself afterward, and she also discussed it with Suizi.Grandma meant that a girl at the age of fifteen had her breasts raised, her waist dropped, and her hips rounded, which is not a good thing.Grandma knows many signs of "not a good thing", and nine times out of ten it turns out that it is not a good thing.For the fifteen-year-old girl who was sent by a distant nephew in the country to honor her, my grandmother didn't even ask her to put down the blue cloth bag she was carrying, and started site inspections one by one.How many years have you studied?Can't read a word?Did your mother give you to the Shang family as a bride after the Great Leap Forward?Starving your brother to death?Grandma asks questions in a soft voice, and if she is not satisfied with the answer, she will turn around and go back after asking her in a soft voice.

Suizi can't do it.The fifteen-year-old girl named Sister La has some intentions to charm her.In Suizi's eyes, she is a person on the stage: Xi'er, Liu Qiaoer, and Sifeng.There is only such a braid on the stage, with an inch and a half of red-headed rope wrapped around the root and tip.It is only on the stage that there are such thick black eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the eye hairs brush back and forth.The clothes are also from the stage: dark blue trousers and coats with wide breasts, with peach red piping on the neckline, cuffs, and trouser legs.Only on the stage are there such decent clothes. They have grown on her body since the beginning and have grown in size according to her body. One of the prettiest women she had ever seen in her seven-year-old life.Seven-year-old Suizi certainly doesn't know what kind of social status a daughter-in-law is.She only thinks that Sister La is basically a character in a play who descends from the world.

When Sister La came, it was the days when the streets were full of poplar flowers.After the harvest last year, I covered it for a whole winter, and my face turned pale, and it was as wet as if I had just washed it, and there were two patches of natural rouge.It's not a good thing to say to my grandmother.It's from tuberculosis.Sister La's future father-in-law is grandma's distant nephew, and he dare not hide it from grandma.He told his grandmother that Sister La had coughed for more than half a year last year. According to the film, Sister La had three small holes in her tuberculosis.The distant nephew has repeatedly stated that the holes are all aligned.Of course, grandma immediately understood that Sister La was not sent here to honor her, but to eat the good food in the city and nourish those holes in her lungs.Grandma asked Sister La to carry the honeycomb coal. If Sister La put five layers on the washboard, Grandma would raise her eyes from the cards in her hand and say, "You are moving a wall? It's you who will be tired later." Serve me, or should I serve you?" Sister La smiled, with a dimple under the corner of her mouth.She said to move more and run less.Grandma lowered her eyes and continued to play cards with herself, and said slowly: "Save a few trips to go to the hospital, right?" Sister La's mind didn't know how to follow her grandmother's words, and she laughed again. Suizi knew she didn't understand; That kind of stupid student in the classroom happened to meet a teacher who was upset with her again, so he screamed and could only laugh all over his head.

Suizi is far away from all kinds of diseases, but she seems to be related to all kinds of diseases. She is seven years old, and she is still five years old.Especially if it doesn't make sense, those blue tendons on the temples will flash out of the thin skin like a thunderbolt.At this time, Sister La felt that Suizi's life was in danger, as if the whole little person was stuck in the lampshade of wax paper or fine silk on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.Sister La would never dare to provoke Suizi at this time, because if she was not careful, the delicate paper lamp would be pierced by the lead-like light blue blood vessels below.When Suizi is unreasonable, no one will take care of her. Grandma touches her cards, grandpa smokes his cigarettes, fumbles his keys, writes down his daily bills, or goes to patrol the yard to ambush those fences and steal. He is a wild child of mulberry leaves on two mulberry trees.Therefore, when Suizi is unreasonable, it is boring, and often he can't get off the stage by himself.This situation didn't change until Sister La came.She doesn't want Sister La to see or hear her temper like grandma and grandpa. She wants Sister La to accompany her to be unreasonable and wait for her to end a bad episode from beginning to end.Since Sister La came, Suizi will no longer be unable to step down. Sister La will say: "Okay, okay, I provoked it, I hate it, I sing Huangmei Opera with my left voice." If the effect is not good, she will catch her Picking up the tassel, she slapped her face with a dry, thin, pale hand with light blue veins, as if Suizi had been wronged and owed her debt. She slapped the enemy for Suizi. Of course, all the strength of Suizi was in her hands. She is not willing to give herself a real slap, and she knows that Suizi is not willing to slap her face with a real ear slap.Generally speaking, Suizi, who was abandoned by her parents to her grandparents, would have no companions without Sister La: her parents bought her half a house of dolls, lest Suizi see through that they were actually afraid of her pestering them.Suizi has a very meticulous mind, full of the kind of ghosts that children who are neglected often have, so Sister La soon discovered that Suizi's unreasonableness was not completely unreasonable.Suizi said to Sister La: "You are my servant girl." Sister La happily said: "Okay, I am your maidservant." In this way, the life will be a drama, but the good thing is that both of them are fascinated by the drama. , I don’t want to be myself, I want to be the people in the play.The father didn't come, but he often came to do some homework for Suizi, reciting four sentences here, four sentences there, Suizi didn't know what he was memorizing.But she knew there was no way out if she didn't memorize it, and she couldn't get her father's attention; she would lose her even more in his father's eyes.Suizi has a supercilious look when reciting poems and memorizing: she is awe-inspiring when she does old-fashioned things at a young age.Now she has one or two steps on her back and calls to Sister La: pour tea; or: I got a mosquito bite here, scratch it for me; or: why don't you fan me?Sister La laughed and cooperated with Suizi to enjoy the stage.

Sister La taught Suizi how to play countryman's cards.Grandma changed a deck of cards from square to round, and the deck was eliminated and belonged to Sister La.Suizi soon played evenly with the maid, Sister La, and the game was lively. Whoever lost would put a wooden clip for drying clothes on his nose.Suizi resigned herself to life and death, and within a minute something happened, either urinating or defecating.The commotion made grandma distracted from her Zen-like poker game, and said, "Xiao Suizi, if you play with her like this, your lungs will get holes sooner or later." .First you have to dip your thumb on your tongue, and then you go to play cards. Whether they are healthy or sick, they are immediately intertwined and indistinguishable from each other.After hearing this, Sister La's face darkened, and her smile became very embarrassing.Once or twice, she acted adventurously and said to her grandma: "Where is there a hole in the house! I didn't see that I didn't want anyone to help me when I carried a bag of fifty catties of rice." Grandma said: "Three bowls of rice for a meal. Don't be urged." Suizi saw that Sister La's smile changed from embarrassment to a thick-skinned smile.She could tell that grandma was going too far.But she knew that Sister La, the maidservant, could bear this "excess".

Ever since a servant girl, Sister La, came, Suizi's mother had the intention of formally making her a maid.Suizi's mother began to bring big net bags and small net bags to grandma.When did grandma learn to go to her mother's house to carry big and small bags?Of course, grandma knew that the big and small bags were dirty clothes and sheets, and she gave them to Sister La for washing.Sister La no longer has the time to play cards with Suizi, but often sits on the edge of the oval wooden basin, with a washboard pressed against her lower abdomen, and rubs her soaked red hands all day long.She is very interested in Suizi's mother's clothes.Take it out of the water and adjust it back and forth to watch.Especially those small objects that are tied up, she knows that they are used by women in the city to cover their breasts or wrap their stomachs and buttocks.Soon she learned the names for these items: bras, bellybands.Sister La dried them in the yard, and was fascinated by the two small bowls formed by brass jigsaw puzzles.The breasts of women in the city are not free, they must squat within the specified range and curl up into a specified shape.Sister La knew that it would not be comfortable, but being uncomfortable was a step toward becoming a city woman.

Suizi’s mother’s whole body seems to be a little bit sinful in Sister La’s eyes: the leather shoes are hard, and the toes and heels allow you to walk too recklessly; the hair is slightly burnt, and every curl should not be messed up Running, the order is wrong; the most important thing is that the chest, belly and buttocks are all in a discipline, and the convex should be convex, and the concave should be concave.Sister La took these bits and pieces of Suizi's mother's clothes to her bed, spread them on a piece of waste newspaper, and traced the different shapes of the bras one by one with a pencil.Then go to the bamboo box where grandma holds old sheets and rotten curtains to pick them up.The only material that won't fall apart when you pull it is the bag for flour.She used this pocket to cut out piece by piece according to the blueprint drawn in the newspaper.Then I stayed up for two nights and finished the first finished product.Suizi saw that she took a long breath and tied the thing called a bra on her body, as if she had put shackles on the two breasts who had been free for fifteen years.The black "COFCO" lettering on the noodle pocket is stamped on the chest.Suizi felt that Sister La was already so shameless after only two months.So he said to her: "You are so shameless." Sister La said: "What about your mother?" Suizi said: "You want to learn from my mother? My mother works in the office. Where do you work?" La My sister also realized that her attempt to learn from the women in the city was too fast and too explicit, so she said with a cheeky smile, "It's much warmer!" The left side of the chest was lumpy and the right side was lumpy, and he giggled.Suizi was itchy by her smile, and wanted to give her a good torture, so she went up and pulled her braid, and then grabbed one of the two lumps on her chest.Sister La was quite comfortable being abused, and her whole body was shaking with laughter.Suizi gripped tighter and tighter, saying in his mouth, how shameless, how shameless.Gradually, Sister La stopped twisting and grasping, pulling, and kneading Suizi with both hands.The natural rouge on Sister La's face became thicker.Suizi's strength was almost exhausted, but she still muttered incomprehensibly: "It's shameless." She muttered until she had tears in her own eyes; Sister La blatantly imitated her mother and blatantly worked on her two breasts, she was really a maid. To rebel, I really don't take the seven-year-old lady Suizi seriously.Suizi didn't know why she felt that she was being bullied, and it was a kind of obscene bullying for the maid La to show her aggressive body boldly and shamelessly.Suizi is very disgusting but very moved. For the first time, she realizes how good-looking things are not contradictory to being shameless.

Suozi's grandfather likes everything related to machinery and electricity.He sometimes puts six or seven radios on his desk, including semi-conductor and ore radios, all of which are old, so you always ring them but not them.Sister La asked her grandfather to invite her to listen to the Huangmei Opera, which was sung by Zhu Yijin.Grandpa was so proud of presenting treasures that he turned on six or seven radios to the Huangmei Opera. Sister La was peeling edamame while listening to six or seven Zhu Yijin singing without a word, and sometimes they sang together at once. Grandma said that you have a temple fair. ah?Sister La learned four arias by Zhu Yijin during the third month at Suizi's house.Sometimes I would light up the stove with a broken plantain fan in the courtyard, and dance the rustling rotten fan lightly, singing to myself.Suozi discovers that she learns tunes as quickly as she steals them.Sister La learns everything quickly, like stealing, a thief is quick.She imitated how female middle school students combed two braids, and folded the two braids into two circles.I also learned Suizi's mother's dressing style, dyed black with face pockets, and sewed a narrow skirt with a pleat on the front and back.She was paid five yuan a month (the average nanny paid around ten yuan), and she used one yuan to tear a piece of light floral fabric. Although the patterns on it were all printed wrongly, you couldn't see any serious problems if you didn't get close.Suizi sees Sister La wearing a black skirt and flowered blouse, which looks good, but this beauty was stolen from the city people (including Suizi's mother).So Suizi was a little upset that the maid, Sister La, changed her image by herself.Suizi thinks that changing her image means changing her role, and Sister La's role will always be a maid.

Even Suizi's father began to notice Sister La.He is a playwright, so it's not his fault that he pays attention to beautiful women, it's his professional instinct.Suozi found that her father always came back for lunch or dinner every other day or two.Sometimes mother came together, sometimes he came by himself.He joked and struck up a conversation with Sister La, saying that everyone in the Writers Association compound was asking who had a beautiful girl.Sometimes he ran to the kitchen, taking care of Sister La like the elders, don't be brave if you can't carry two full buckets of water, you will be tired when you are growing up.Sister La called Suizi's father "brother-in-law", and grandma said, "What? Your father-in-law is my nephew, how did he become your brother-in-law?!" Sister La smiled at Suizi's father and said, "Uncle." Grandma said, "Uncle Biao Sister La laughed again and said, "Uncle Cousin, I starched your shirt." When Suizi saw Sister La holding the squarely folded shirt to her father, her father and her rubbed their hands under the shirt for a while. meeting.Looks like of course just handing over a shirt.

Soon Sister La sewed two dresses for herself, and the fabric was definitely not a defective product with wrong printing.It will take some days before Suizi can confirm her guess: the two pieces of foreign-style and elegant fabrics were bought by Dad for Sister La.As for what Sister La gave her father so that he could save money to pull fabrics for her after smoking bad cigarettes for two months, Suizi will always remain in the speculation stage. When Suizi's father comes home, Sister La always has a tune in her mouth.One day, Suizi heard her sing a song from her school choir.Suizi thought, she steals so fast, I have only been singing for a few days.She went up and pinched Sister La's cheeks from behind, and Sister La was rubbing clothes on the clothes board to the rhythm of the children's march.The tune that was so accurate in her mouth was pulled far away by the tassel.Suizi said: "You dare to sing nonsense again?" She said: "Oh, what you pinched is meat!" Suizi said: "What you pinched is meat! Who made you so thick-skinned?" Sister La said: "It hurts so much. Hey!" Suizi said, "You read the lyrics to me once, and I'll let you go!" Sister La said, "I don't know words! I can't read!"

Suizi's sudden hatred made her convulse all over.She also didn't know how she could be so cruel to this servant girl, Sister La.She said: "You don't know the words, why are you singing nonsense?!" Sister La said: "I followed you to learn-oh, you pinched my flesh off!" Suizi said: "What words did I sing?" Sister La said: "Salt is broken in the wind, and salt is asked in the rain..." Suizi really drove her crazy, how dare she use such ignorant and unreasonable words to tamper with her song.Suizi didn't understand that her sudden viciousness was not entirely caused by Sister La; she had been gesticulating all kinds of words and phrases she didn't understand since she was four years old, but she couldn't help it, and Sister La was very happy. Such nonsense.She really wanted to tear out the gaps in Sister La's cheeks.She said: "I hate you the most and hate that you dare to make up things when you don't understand anything! It's 'exercise in the wind, test in the rain, we are petrels in the storm!' Do you understand? You are illiterate!" Sister La said : "Okay, I am illiterate!" Suizi loosened her exhausted fingers and jaw.Sister La touched the two pieces of meat pulled by Suizi with her soapy hands, tears were about to come out.Suizi said: "In the future, I will make up lyrics, and I will stick your mouth with plaster for hurting tendons!" Sister La said, "Then teach me, so I won't make up any more." Suizi said: "You are so beautiful! ’ Her anger was still unquenchable.Suizi didn't know that the punishment given to the servant girl, Sister La, was actually due to jealousy; she couldn't figure out how an illiterate Sister La could learn to sing so quickly, and directly snatched it from her mouth. When the summer vacation was about to end, one night Suizi got into Sister La’s tent as usual, and Suizi liked Sister La’s cool arms around her.If Suizi was bitten by a mosquito, she would stay until this time to let Sister La scratch her.This day Sister La said: "I was bitten by a mosquito here too, please catch it for me." Suizi saw her pointing at her chest.At the same time, she felt that there was something wrong with Sister La's eyes, she was acting silly.She went to scratch the mosquito bag for her, but she couldn't find its location, so she could only move her fingers perfunctorily.Sister La asked: "Do your father and your mother often quarrel?" Suizi said: "Not often, maybe once every two weeks." Sister La asked again: "Is your mother treating your father better, or your father treating you better?" Mom is better?" Suizi thought for a while and said, "My mother chased my dad. My dad used to have many girlfriends." Sister La said, "How do you know this?" Suizi said, "Hmph, what am I Don't know?" The moon was very bright outside, shining into the tent, Suizi saw that Sister La's face was a little delicate and shiny, her lips were partly parted, and she didn't say anything.Sister La said, "Why do you scratch more and more itchy?" At the same time, she took Suizi's hand and looked for the "itch".Suizi's fingertips suddenly touched a bump with a strange texture, and she was startled.This is the first time for Suizi to touch a round nipple like a mulberry. In the past, sucking on the nurse's nipple was not counted when she didn't remember.Sister La left Suizi's hand there and said, "It's itchy here." Suizi felt that the whole situation was a little weird, but she couldn't resist her strong curiosity about this mulberry.She twists it, exploring its relationship to the surrounding skin.She saw that Sister La's eyes were half dead, she didn't know what she was staring at, and her mouth was still open.Sister La also grabbed the tassel with the other hand and pressed it on her other mulberry.Suizi's grandma's "not a good thing" flashed intermittently in her mind, but her hand was reluctant to give up such a comfortable and pleasant touch.She had unconsciously put half of her body on Sister La's body, her hands were too small to grasp it, so she was in a mess.Sister La couldn't breathe properly, and the tip of her tongue came out from time to time to lick her lips.Suizi felt that the two mounds under her palms were swollen like fermentation, getting bigger, so big that her hands couldn't handle it even more.Sister La asked her if it was fun, and Suizi hummed dizzily.Isn't it fun?Or "not a good thing"? Before the mosquito net was removed, Suizi and Sister La switched positions, from being scratched to being scratched.They turned on a flashlight after grandpa fell asleep, and Sister La asked Suizi to look at and touch her casually.She pointed out at what age the tassels would start to bulge, at what age would the hair grow, at what year would the tassel bleed, and in the end, a small hair would come out.Suizi really thinks that Sister La is amazing, everything is ready-made, everything is in place, so perfect and beautiful. Grandma asked Suizi: "What are you crazy about in bed at night?" Suizi and Sister La quickly exchanged glances.Suizi said: "It's nothing crazy." Grandma went to ask Sister La again: "What are you two doing?" The expression "it's not a good thing" on Grandma's face was very clear.Sister La smiled and said, "Suizi wants me to scratch her." She didn't look like she was lying at all, and Suizi felt resentful because of her natural and smooth lies.It's obviously you who are "itching", and it's you who are making me so busy that I'm dying.Suizi felt inexplicably useless in her heart, as if she had been cheated and exploited.What's more, she somewhat understood that in this secret game, Sister La benefited far more than her.It turned out that she had a lot of comfort serving the maid, Sister La.Now that she has finished tassels, she understands so much.She hated herself for receiving such a nonsensical education from Sister La. Suizi noticed that Sister La was wearing a red and black checked duffel coat.She asked where it came from, and Sister La smiled and wanted to get away.But Suizi persisted, grabbed her earrings, and said, "If you want to lie, I'll go and paste your mouth with tendon-injured plaster." Suizi had already guessed right.Sure enough, Sister La said: "Uncle Biao bought it for me. I didn't bring any winter clothes." Suizi thought, she wanted the doll that could do Yangko, but her father kept pushing her, and this coat was probably equivalent to four baby.On the way home from school, she said to Sister La who came to pick her up at the school gate, "You accompany me to the department store."Suizi went directly to the toy counter and found that the Yangko doll was still there.Suizi has been begging her father for half a year, during which time she came to see if the doll was bought from time to time.As long as it was there, Suoko felt lighthearted, thinking that one day it would be hers.One day my father will soften his heart and surrender to her.The hope of "one day" didn't die until Sister La's red and black plaid coat appeared, because the father no longer made excuses, but said to Suizi without hesitation: "Don't buy it, you are almost eight years old. An eight-year-old still wants a doll? It’s embarrassing.” Then there was Sister La in a red and black plaid coat, which made her so beautiful.Suizi said to the saleswoman, "I'll buy that doll." She slammed a five-yuan bill on the glass counter, arrogantly.There are deep creases on the banknotes, diagonal, straight and horizontal.Sister La stared at the banknotes and said, "Where did you get so much money, Suizi?" Suizi seemed not to hear her, hugged the paper box containing the doll, took the four quarters and five cents change, and walked out of the store with great vigor. .Sister La followed her, and went to turn over the mattress on her bed as soon as she got home.Then he shouted sharply: "Suizi!" Suizi was fascinated by the dancing doll, and ignored her.Sister La ran over, grabbed her thin arm and pulled it outside the door. Suizi felt that the situation formed by the two of them was very similar to a scene that usually appeared in this city: someone dragged someone to the police station, and the person who was dragged was either a thief or a hooligan, who picked up a woman's skirt or a little girl. A villain smashed a glass window of a certain house for no reason.Of course Sister La would not take tassels to the police station, so she pulled her outside the door, out of grandma's sight, and said, "Suizi, you took five yuan from me." Suizi said, "Who took your money? My father There is plenty of money!" Sister La said: "My money is saved for my younger brother to study, no one in my family has ever studied, I think my younger brother will go to school in the future." Suizi said: "Who took your money! Who cares about you What a waste of money!" Suizi was very righteous when he was unreasonable.Sister La suddenly shed two tears and said, "Give me back the money." Suizi said, "How dare you falsely accuse a good man!" Sister La shed two more tears and said, "Please, Suizi, give me the money." Give it back to me." Suizi said, "Do you have any evidence?" Sister La said, "All my money was folded into ingots, and the five yuan you paid for the doll was dismantled by ingots!" Suizi said, "Anyway, I didn't take you. The money—if you don’t let me go, I’m going to bite!” Sister La burst into tears again: “I went to the vegetable market at four o’clock in the morning to buy vegetables, and for four cents a bowl of spicy soup, I couldn’t bear to drink it…” Suizi thought contemptuously that the spicy soup would make her cry.This was the first time she saw Sister La cry, so pitifully Suizi almost cried with her.But this moment of pity made Suizi think that she was useless, and she almost confessed with tears.So she bit the back of the hand that was holding her.Sister La said nothing.When Suizi ran away and looked back at her, she squatted against the wall, crying so hard that she couldn't even squat. Tickets for the Spring Festival Gala are hard to come by.Dad handed the two tickets to Sister La and said, "Take the tassels, don't you like to listen to Zhu Yijin's plays?"Suizi stared at her face and said, "Okay. You put on rouge!" Sister La said, "No!" Suizi said, "It must have been dipped in red paper with saliva and wiped on the face." Suizi herself That's it.Grandma looked at the pretty girl and said, "It's a trick." Grandma thought that girls with long eyelashes like Sister La's were all tricks.Grandma looked down on beautiful women, saying that they were full of embroidered pillows.Zhu Yijin is a mess in the eyes of her grandmother, let alone Sister La.She looked contemptuously at this "embroidered pillow" from behind her glasses and eagerly rushed to worship the famous "embroidered pillow". Zhu Yijin wore a pink velvet cheongsam and sang two short passages from "The Female Consort" and "The Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers".Then she carried a crystal pipe pot between Lao Chang and rode the clouds and mist to greet people everywhere, and greeted everyone all the way to Suizi.She said, "Hey, Xiao Suizi, where's your father?" Suizi told her father to give her and Sister La the tickets.Zhu Yijin said: "Tell your dad, I scolded him—I don't sing once a year now, and he doesn't even give me this face!" Aunt Zhu is too miniature.At this moment, Zhu Yijin glanced at Sister La, sparks sparkled in her eyes.She said: "When did Suizi come out as such a beautiful 'big sister'?" She heard Sister La as "big sister".Just as Suizi was about to explain, she suddenly caught sight of an almost terrified expression on Sister La's face.She squeezed Suozi's hand, and there was a deep pleading on her fingers.Sister La smiled respectfully at Zhu Yijin, and said, "It's not my kiss." The pleading in her hand was already ruthless.Suizi thought: Well, you liar.Zhu Yijin said: "Xiao Suizi, your sister has a good voice too!" She turned to Sister La and asked her if she liked to sing, and Sister La nodded. From Suizi's point of view, it was not a nod but a kowtow.Zhu Yijin said: "I'll listen to sing a few lines someday." Sister La immediately said: "What day?" Zhu Yijin said to Suizi: "Ask your father to bring your cousin to my house after the festival, huh?" Suizi said to herself Very surprised, why did she defend Sister La's lies and vanity, why did she not reveal to Aunt Zhu that Sister La's identity as a maid and child bride? Suizi's father really took Sister La to visit Zhu Yijin.Suizi's father said straightly: "Good things, good things, you really became Zhu Yijin's closed apprentice, and you, a child bride, will turn over." Grandma stared coldly at Suizi's father, then at Sister La, and said, "Being an actor is better than being a serious person." Where is your daughter-in-law?" Suizi's father ignored grandma.It is said that Zhu Yijin was hired by the theater school to be a special lecturer, and when the theater school recruits students in spring, she will recommend Sister La.Sister La, who could not read a word, began to write her name on the corner of the newspaper, "Sister Liu La, Sister Liu La, Sister Liu La". In any case, Suizi was a little happy for Sister La.Suizi is a well-educated and reasonable person, knowing that "raised daughter-in-law" is a remnant of feudalism and should be eliminated.Besides, if Sister La really becomes a little Zhu Yijin in the future, Suizi's face will also be bright.As soon as the winter vacation is over, Sister La will go to drama school.Grandma said: "Hmph, nothing good will happen." Suizi gave the old lady a look: "Old feudalism!" Suizi's mother found a pile of her old clothes and gave them to Sister La to wear when she went to the opera school.I also gave a pair of high-heeled leather shoes that were likely to be new. The high heels were cut short by sawing, so the toes of the shoes were lifted like a warship riding the wind and waves.As for Suizi's father's normal and supernormal care for Sister La, Suizi's mother is of course kept in the dark. On the first day after the winter vacation, Sister La was picking up tassels at the school gate.She looked a little sad, and said to Suizi: "I'm here." That is to say, Sister La's father-in-law is here, and he is here to pick Sister La back.Grandma said to Suizi, who was yelling about "feudalism", "It's a good thing for Sister La to go home and consummate the house. What are you doing?" Talent, Zhu Yijin, do you know?" Sister La shook her head and smiled humbly like she was to her aunt.Suizi said: "You don't understand anything, you're just a feudal mind!" Grandpa said: "Suizi is rude." Suizi screamed: "I am rude!" Grandma said: "Where are you going to memorize so many ancient Chinese? Learn to be so barbaric." Suizi screamed again: "I am barbaric! Anyway, Sister La is not your child bride! Sister La is my maid! I want her to learn to sing!" When Suizi was showing her teeth and claws, Sister La cleaned up without saying a word. Stuff, looks very good.Sister La packed the clothes she brought into a bundle that was exactly the same as when she came.She put all the skirts, coats, bras, and girdles that she bought in the city on her bed.The red and black checked coat was also thrown away, and she said to Suizi: "Suizi, this coat will look good when you grow up." Suizi gradually calmed down, knowing that the general trend had been settled.She sighed like an old man.She didn't expect Sister La's sudden departure to make her feel such an uncomfortable feeling.Suizi, who had never been saddened by anything or anyone at that time, thought that this kind of discomfort should be called "sadness". Sister La has returned to her original appearance, she is dressed in the four-phoenix dress again, with a braid doing her job.She was not as sad as Suizi.She picked up her bag and followed her bag to the door.At the door she heard Suizi call her, she turned and stopped.It was as if nothing had happened between the two of them, as if nothing had happened in these ten months.Suizi suddenly thought, Sister La hates her, everyone in the family. By the time I became an adult, people had forgotten my baby name, Suizi. I still believed that Sister La hated me and my family, probably because she hated the elder who escorted her back to her duty as a woman.I believe she even hated my dad.My dad came back the day after Sister La's sudden departure, and found that Sister La's bed was empty, with the red and black plaid coat glaringly placed on it.My dad was absent-minded for a while, but soon he couldn't take care of it. The "Cultural Revolution" broke out across the country. He and Zhu Yijin were the first batch of them to be taken out to parade in the streets by the Red Guards from the drama school. After grandma passed away, a person from my hometown came to attend the funeral, saying that Sister La ran away shortly after consummating the house.Someone saw her in the town, with her hair cut short, wearing a yellow military uniform and Red Guard armbands, shouting and singing and dancing on the stage set up at the intersection of the highway.I imagined that Sister La who rebelled must be even more handsome.The grandmother's relatives said: "I don't know why she repays her kindness like this. Her in-law's family treats her well. She didn't take over as a bride-in-law early. Maybe she would have been a starving ghost in a poor place like her family." The relatives said again: "She ran to the stage and said how her mother-in-law and father-in-law abused her. Her father-in-law is a commune secretary, and he is also a small parent official. She scolded her so badly! Oh, it is true rebellion when the adopted daughter-in-law rebelled. The daughter-in-law is going to be a Red Guard, is that okay?!..." I asked the relatives in my hometown, where did Sister La go?Relatives said: "Is she always somewhere in the county? No one has seen her again." The whole world is full of Red Guards, who don't know what to hate, beat this and smash that.I was less than nine years old at the time, and I really didn't understand where the Red Guards' hatred came from.But hatred is always justified, at least Sister La’s hatred is justified, but as a writer today, I am still not sure about the truth of that hatred.Surely not because I stole five dollars from her.Definitely.
