Chapter 361: [All kinds of tastes in my heart]
I especially remember that in an era when he was still a waste of food, Yu Chunhua and her father were dragged into the commune to criticize and fight. Her mother was abducted by her two brothers and was unable to recover early and passed away. Only Yu Ziliang, who was extremely thin, struggled to support the huge family business, but this family business was not kept and was beaten down.
It was the best era, just because all the tenants and slaves were free, they could take charge of their own family.
It was also a tragic era, and many landlords with rich family businesses were beaten.
Yu Ziliang is one of them.
The Yu family was also poor peasants for three generations, struggling under the oppression of feudal society.
Yu Ziliang's great-grandfather was an orphan when Lord Lafayette was in power. He could not eat enough or wear warmth. It can be said that he grew up eating a hundred families in the original village.
When he was thirteen years old, he followed a middle-aged man in the village to travel around the country and go out to find a way to survive.
Later, he worked as an apprentice in a carpenter shop. Because he was willing to work hard and hardworking, he was loyal and diligent. No matter how the master beat and scolded him, he gritted his teeth and suffered, just to be able to learn more from his master. Therefore, Mr. Yu, who had such character, quickly stood out among the brothers and brothers, was appreciated by his master, and also appreciated by his master's daughter. After the old master got to learn, his master gave this apprentice two choices, one was to marry the other daughter, stay in the carpenter shop, and support the two people nearby, and the other was to go out and set up his own business.
Old Master Yu combined the two conditions into one, married the master's daughter, and went out to set up his own business.
Instead of his master, his apprentice did not think that his apprentice was ungrateful, but on the day before his wedding night, the master and his wife said that this cheap son-in-law would definitely have a great future in the future.
As expected, Mr. Yu was praised by his master. Although his future life was not as wealthy, at least the couple was harmonious and loving, and the business was booming, just because Mr. Yu was a honest person and the furniture he created was durable. At the same time, because his wife was very embroidered, he would help her husband with advice and carve some unique patterns on the furniture, which was particularly popular. Especially for families with slightly wealthy families, when their daughters got married, they needed to create dowry furniture. They always came to Mr. Yu's shop, which was famous at that time.
Similarly, he didn't know who his parents were since childhood. After marrying his wife, he naturally treated his father-in-law and mother-in-law as his biological parents, and lived a comfortable life until his old age.
However, neither of the old master's two sons nor two daughters inherited the carpenter industry at home. After middle age, he accepted several apprentices. He did not ask his apprentices to support him. He just had no wages during the apprenticeship. After he finished his studies, he didn't stop his apprenticeship and wanted to stay. Therefore, the apprentices treated him well. After all, Old Master Yu never hid his own personal information.
After the two of them a hundred years, the family's property will be divided into four children. The eldest son inherits a little more, but he will not be envied by his younger siblings. After all, the children live a good life after getting married.
Yu Ziliang is the eldest grandson of the youngest son of Mr. Yu. Yu Ziliang's grandfather bought the property of the Yu family. It was near Xiangshan Village. The lotus pond was planted after the Yu family dug the pond. The former Yu Family Village was on an open space between the lotus pond and the small green mountain. Now, not to mention a house, even the skeleton of the house has long disappeared.
A big fire burned the Yu family's house to pieces. In the past, the villages around Xiangshan Village were almost all tenants of the Yu family.
When Yu Ziliang was a landlord, he was definitely not a Zhou Bapi. On the contrary, he got along well with the tenants at home. In the year of harvest, he might collect rent according to the normal quantity. However, in the year of desertion, the Yu family always reduced rent. Therefore, even in the late feudal period, there were frequent wars everywhere, and the Xiangshan Village never starved to death.
Perhaps because of this, Yu Chunhua was able to stay here when he was fighting Landlord later.
At the same time, because of his background, Yu Chunhua is no longer the eldest lady of the landlord family. Old Mrs. Xu turned over and took charge of this daughter-in-law in a while, so she tried to get along with her daughter-in-law.
However, Yu Chunhua's origin was nothing in the eyes of Lao Yao. His family was at least an official family. Although the family had long disappeared at that time, even if it existed, it would not have ended up in the Yu family because of the generations of medical families. However, they were all born into the world, and this "big" was a little surprised.
When I saw Yu Chunhua, there was a wooden sign hanging around her neck, standing among the crowd. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, just like a flower and a jade-like flower. But when I first saw her, she was withered and thin, and it was hard to imagine that she was a young lady.
Uncle Lao Yao could only sigh at that time, but in the next two years, the girl's perseverance made Uncle Lao Yao feel pity. Although he knew medical skills, he was always an outsider. In that occasion, even if Uncle Lao Yao could, he would not dare to speak for her, otherwise Uncle Lao Yao would not be able to get it himself, and Yu Chunhua would also suffer more severe torture.
Afterwards, he watched the girl he liked married Lao Xu, but unfortunately he was greeted with another round of painful torture that could not be expected.
That kind of life lasted for decades, and it became even worse after her husband's death. After her mother-in-law died, she also had a jokey aunt, who seemed to be reincarnation, crushing the girl who had once looked confused or determined.
When she married Yu Chunhua many years ago, she was no longer as young as she was back then, but in Uncle Lao Yao's heart, the old woman around her was always the little girl who gritted her teeth and endured the changes of the times. She hoped to be rescued, but she knew that no one dared to speak for her, so she could only bear it silently.
When Xu Jianjun wanted to enter the government office, he was almost beaten because of Yu Chunhua's composition. However, when the people above went down to investigate, the whole village felt sorry for Yu Chunhua, the widow with her last son, and spoke to her. After all, her first two sons died on the battlefield, and the people above did not make things difficult for Xu Jianjun and Yu Chunhua. They approved Xu Jianjun's application for joining the party, and after graduation, they entered the government office.
It can be said that Yu Chunhua's girlhood was happy but dull, and she was soaked in bitter water in the first half of her life. Only in her later years can she be considered completely happy.
Yu Chunhua has no love for that deceased husband, but she is very grateful.
It was him who gave Yu Chunhua a chance to escape from the sea of suffering. Although she pulled her into another sea of suffering, her nature was essentially different.
He gave Yu Chunhua three outstanding sons and two daughters. Even if the youngest daughter was disobedient and ignorant, at least in the past ten years of his eldest daughter's life, Yu Chunhua felt very warm.
Of course, she trained such an excellent son for the dead ghost, and after marrying Lao Yao, she did not ask her son to change his surname. She thought she was too worthy of the Old Xu family. Only after marrying Lao Yao, she became a woman, a woman nourished by love. Although this love came too late, it was worth it at least.
Ren Junran is 47 years old and is the dean of the High Translation College of the Imperial Capital Foreign Studies University. It is already very good to be able to sit at this position at this age. At the same time, he can also translate some foreign academic works and has a high reputation in the translation industry.
This summer, Ren Junran saved enough money and bought a house in the imperial capital Fanghua Garden. He used to live in an old courtyard. This courtyard was called the past, but now it is just a slum. There are five families living in it. He and his wife also live here. There are three rooms in the house and the kitchen is public. If two people live there, it will be no problem. But later his wife gave birth to two children, and the place seemed congested.
I used to think about buying a new house, which was more spacious, but I didn’t have enough money. Moreover, buying a house is different from buying groceries. You can’t think about it today and get it tomorrow. It depends on various situations, so I drag it on again and again until now.
The home's courtyard house is Ren Junran's memory. He has been living here since he was born. His wife could not stand the conditions here before, so she discussed with him that she would sell the courtyard house to fill the gap for the down payment of the new house. Duan Junran did not agree, and his wife did not mention it later. The other party was a very gentle woman.
In recent years, he used his spare time to translate more books and saved enough money for the down payment. Finally, he bought a three-bedroom and one-living house. The down payment was 400,000 yuan. The decoration was not extravagant, and it was only less than 100,000 yuan. This was the case when he moved.
When moving, the other four families in the yard came to help, and the three old houses were rented to a family in the yard at a fair price.
When she was cleaning up the relics of Ren Junran's mother, she found a rusty iron box. The box was about the size of an adult man's palm. It may have been printed with vegetable patterns in the early years. It was also shiny on the eight corners of the box, and there was no rust. It was obvious that my mother often fiddled with it when she was alive.
The couple opened their eyes and found that in addition to some yellowed letter paper written in brush, there were also photos of their parents.
Ren Junran's parents were just ordinary people. His father died before he was born. Ren Junran was considered a posthumous son. His mother worked hard to raise her. When she was young, her mother was a textile worker. Later, the textile factory went bankrupt and her mother also did a lot of business. She finally raised him. After less than half a year of marriage, Ren Junran died of illness due to overwork.
However, this was the first time Ren Junran saw this iron box, and the contents on several letter papers inside made Ren Junran very curious.
The above is the handwriting of my father. My mother never reads a big word in her life, but her father seems to be quite knowledgeable. The father who heard from his mother when he was young is simply a brilliant and majestic.
These letter papers are folded neatly placed inside. The contents are written by my father to his grandfather. There are about thirty pieces, but they have never been sent out.
From the letter paper, he learned that his grandfather was named Ren Yongjia, a local doctor living in Xiangshan Village. The lines of the letter paper were filled with his father's confession to his grandfather, saying that he was young and frivolous and did not understand his father's difficulties, so he ran away from home impulsively. Although he missed his father very much over the years, he still couldn't make a decision to go back. He was worried until his death.
Ren Junran's wife is Jiang Xiuqing, an associate professor at the University of Foreign Studies and a bishop in Russian. Both of them stayed at school to teach after graduation, and the couple had a good relationship.
She knew that her husband had no father since childhood and was pulled by her mother-in-law. She gave all her efforts to her husband.
In fact, when she was brought back by Ren Junran for the first time, her mother-in-law told her that her body had been exhausted and she would not be annoyed in front of their young couple in the future. She just hopes that after she goes, they can make everything more polite, loving, plain and old together.
Jiang Xiuqing's parents had a good relationship. Before, her mother didn't agree with her to get along with Ren Junran, because she was worried that the widow in Ren Junran's family had a problem with her mentality and was afraid of slandering their daughter. But when her daughter was disobedient and said she would not agree to break up with Ren Junran, the two had no choice but to let it go.
Later, they got married. When they saw the mother-in-law who looked very poor, the two elders of the Jiang family felt a little nervous, and at the same time they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing that the mother-in-law was like a dry and dry, even if the daughter was wronged, it would probably not be too long.
However, my mother-in-law went there after half a year of marriage.
Jiang Xiuqing knew what her parents were thinking and felt very angry. In the past ten years after their marriage, they had never spent the night at the Jiang family. If they had something to do, they just went back to have a meal and were just filial. After all, there was an elder brother and an older sister at home.
Although he knew that his parents were considering her, Jiang Xiuqing still couldn't agree with this idea.
In order for his daughter to avoid being wronged, he breathed a sigh of relief because his son-in-law's mother was about to die?
She loves this man and also respects the mother who trains this man to become an adult. Her parents' thoughts make her feel cold.
When Jiang Xiuqing saw the content in the letter, she told Ren Junran to accompany her to Xiangshan Village. If the old man is still alive, he will take the old man over and be filial to them. If they are gone, let her husband know where his roots are.
Ren Junran thought about it all night before taking a few days alone with his wife to buy a flight to Jiangcheng.
It was this Xiangshan Village that made Ren Junran know that he and his own grandfather lived in the same city, the imperial capital.
And my grandfather has been to the imperial capital for more than 20 years!
When Ren Junran heard this news, he felt a little sad.
He didn't know what he should think now or how he thought, and his whole mind seemed to be empty.
Perhaps because he was Ren Yongjia, the grandson of Lao Yao Uncle, the people in the entire Xiangshan Village were very enthusiastic about him and asked about his father's nickname Xiao Shitou, and even told him that his father ran away from home. In that turbulent era, in order to find this only son, his grandfather rushed to the battlefield where the smoke was everywhere. A few years later, he dragged his leg back to the village.
This made Ren Junran feel uncomfortable.

Don’t worry about the old uncle who smashed it, the person is gone, and the grandson is there.
