Chapter 33 The Story of the Past

Zhao Long, Tingting and Zhao Long's mother were sitting together watching TV and chatting. The TV showed how much money and how many cars people in the city spent for their marriage.What a pompous scene.

Zhao Long looked at the TV and said: "Nowadays, you have to pay attention to ostentation in everything you do. The car doesn't have to be your own, but you can't lose it. I really don't know what the benefits are?"

"Brother, do you want to be like this when you get married?" Tingting said from the side.

"Me, it depends on the situation. I don't like this very much. To be honest, how is the pomp and circumstance? It's meaningless not to have my own car. I will definitely have my own car when those people get married. There are so many cars, and they are not my own. The current society is realistic. If I have my own car to pick up people, and there are two or three other cars to follow, or it is my own car, I think it is fine. I don’t think so. I like this kind of marriage." Zhao Long said from the side.

"You're not young anymore, isn't there any suitable one outside? If there is any, bring it back to show mom. As long as the son likes it, mom will like it." Zhao Long's mother said.

"Mom, I... I've been waiting for two years. I can't do anything now. I have to be responsible for other girls. Think about it, a girl followed me when we had nothing. Do I want her to suffer with me? I I really can't do it, I hope I can tell the other party with responsibility that I can give him the life he wants instead of making him suffer. Love a need and responsibility instead of coveting momentary happiness." Zhao Long said.

"Son, you have grown up, and what you said is not wrong, so work hard." The mother said.

"Mom, how old were you when you got married? How did Dad bring you back?" Zhao Long asked curiously.

Zhao Long's mother said thoughtfully: "We got married early at that time, I was just 20 years old at that time, I was in free love with your father, don't look at your mother living in this country, when she was with friends Let's go out and play, let's meet you." Mother said.

"At that time, your grandmother disagreed with life and death, saying that your father is not a person who can live, and you must suffer if you follow him. I am the only one of the eight children in the family who has studied for a period of time. Your grandmother did not agree at all. I Just quarreling with your grandma, I said that even if my life is not good, the path I choose at this time is because I love your father very much." Zhao Long's mother said.

"Then what happened later?" Zhao Long continued to ask.

"Later, your grandma couldn't hold me back, so she agreed. That is, your dad still went out to work, and when he came back he wore a suit, like a big boss, so there are others who like him." Zhao Long's mother said.

After a pause, Zhao Long's mother continued: "One week before I married your father, your grandmother said that she would take 1 yuan as a simple meaning of marriage. That's [-] yuan, which is really a lot. You Dad couldn’t get it out, so he bought a new dress for me. He bought me a dress that cost only [-] yuan, and got some fabric for your grandma and grandpa to find someone to make two clothes. It’s a form of meeting for my parents.” Zhao Long's mother said.

"On the wedding day, your grandma wants your dad to buy more meat, chicken or fish, but there are very few of them. She drives a tractor and only has one pig's foot. Usually, people get two when they get married. I took a sheep, and I heard that when I walked halfway, the pig’s foot still fell on the ground, and when I arrived at your grandmother’s house, there was still dirt.” The mother said.

"Your grandma only sees this, she doesn't want me to marry, and I am also angry, but at this point, I have no choice, so I reluctantly followed. After I got home, I quarreled with me within a few days. I was angry at that time When you want to leave, when you want to leave home to work, your father disagrees, and then secretly asks someone to guard at the gate of the bus station and train station, lest I run away." Zhao Long's mother said.

"Mom, did you regret marrying my dad at that time?" Zhao Long asked.

"What's the use of regretting, I was also angry. Later, I was pregnant with you, and I couldn't go anywhere. When I was pregnant, I didn't have any meat to eat, and I didn't want to eat. I can’t eat anything, and I don’t have any eggs. Every day I have porridge and pickles? I regret it to death.” Zhao Long’s mother said.

"You were born prematurely. You couldn't be happy at that time. When you were in the hospital, the doctors would give up on you. You were small and ugly, like a little old man. Your father said he didn't want you. That's the doctor. You don't cry when you spank your ass, it's hopeless, or your grandma insisted that she is not dead yet, so she can't let you go, so she just feeds you, and slowly feeds you. When you were a child, there was a bad Trouble, you cry as soon as I sit down, you are very sensitive, that is because your father thinks you are annoying and tells me to throw you out, and I will quarrel with your father." Zhao Long's mother said.

Hearing what his mother said, Zhao Long said with tears in his eyes: "Mom, I know you have suffered a lot for me. In the future, as long as my ability becomes stronger and stronger, I will not let you suffer any more. Actually , I feel uncomfortable in my heart. I am incapable and powerless. I know my mother’s suffering. I will definitely make you proud of having my son. I have been working hard. In the past few years, I have been working outside. You are too much, the son is unfilial. Mom"

"Son, mother knows that it's not easy for you. In fact, mothers don't have too many demands on their children. As long as you live well and understand mother's suffering, mother will be satisfied. You will also get married and have children in the future. You Now that I have grown up, you understand many things. My mother is getting older, she is no longer young, and I don’t want to do anything. As long as you can give my mother a bite of food when I am too old to move, Mom is satisfied." Zhao Long's mother said.

Tingting said from the side: "Auntie, if I don't take care of you, I will take care of you. I won't let Auntie have nothing to eat."

Zhao Long and his mother laughed when they heard Tingting say this, and then Zhao Longyou asked: "Mom, I have a question for you. Do you regret marrying my dad? You have been with my dad for so many years. suffering."

"It's impossible for you to say that you don't hate. Your dad doesn't know where he is now, and I've given up on it. I'm used to living alone. In fact, no matter what, your dad and I have loved each other before. It is undeniable that when your father was a little unwell at that time, I would be anxious and anxious, I hated him for abandoning this family and everything, but I am also relieved to have you by my side all the time. " Zhao Long's mother said.

"Mom, no matter how you say it, after all, it's not easy to be in love. In fact, I'm also quite angry. Now things are like this. Maybe, after a few years or when, Dad will come back again. After all, here It was his former home, so patriotism will not regret it, this is life experience, in the future, my son will be filial to you, and someday, we will show my father our glory." Zhao Long said.

"So, son, work hard, no matter what, as long as you don't violate the law, your mother will support you no matter what you do." Zhao Long's mother said.

"Mom, your experience is really not easy, so I think a man really needs to be responsible for the person he loves. Even if he doesn't love him anymore, at least he once loved him. This is something that will never be erased until death." In fact, a man needs to be responsible, and I will definitely not be like my dad in the future, because I am willing to work hard, and I believe that if I am self-motivated, I will definitely be able to drive the whole village to become rich." Zhao Long said while holding his mother's hand.

"Mom, tomorrow I will call someone to buy the pearls. While the village needs to develop, the family also needs to develop. The days will get better and better. If I have a bowl of rice, I will have half of you. Because I am your son !” said Zhao Long.

Afterwards, Zhao Long talked with his mother about his living environment and experiences abroad in recent years.Before I knew it, I fell asleep beside my mother.
