More than twenty years ago, Heng Zi dad sick away, Heng Zi mom took the brain is not very bright Heng Zi came to the Li family home, remarried to a poor carpenter on the farm, a few years to give birth to a baby girl, but unfortunately the month of the stroke became stupid. Carpenter looked at their own home can not master of the madwoman, life is even more difficult, thought of letting the teenage Hengzi began in the village to pull out manure to make a living, so as to reduce the burden on the family.
From the beginning of my impression, Heng Zi often pushed his dung truck appeared in the village on the road, said dung truck, in fact, is a wood spaced wedged on the thick solid point of the wood, with the old tin bucket loaded with dung hanging in the knocking mouth, the wood support and then put on the two wheels just. Pushing seven or eight buckets at a time, whoever wanted to fertilize, greeted, Hengzi will be poured in the east end of the village in their land. All the children in the village would cover their noses from afar when they saw him, "Go away, go away, it stinks", and he would always lower his head honestly, slightly embarrassed, and step up his pace to leave. Adults also used him to educate their children, "See, if you don't study hard, you'll have to be like Hengzi to dig dung for the rest of your life." I heard this and believed it. Later, when I was growing up, there were always people saying the same thing again, educating different children, realizing that it was as if Hengzi had done something dishonorable, but when the cesspit was full, they thought of Hengzi, because Hengzi asked for a cheaper price and worked honestly.
At the end of 2010, I went back to my grandma's house to help sweep the house, and I heard my grandma chatting with my grandma next door, saying that Hengzi had brought back a woman, who went to the east end of the field to dump manure at the beginning of the day, and then came back to see her next to the garbage heap, and the woman was unkempt and dirty, and Hengzi was pitiful to her, and he went up to her and asked her questions, and then he said that he didn't say anything, and that he followed Hengzi all the way to his house. The village brigade contacted the local police station, but things have been nothing, the woman has been in the constant son of the family to stay, other people flirted with the constant son of the "boy you really good life, live to half of the still white to find a daughter-in-law.
In the old country, New Year's Eve is to eat jujube buns, before Hengzi family New Year's Eve to eat jujube buns are he gave others to pull out manure, people pity to him. But since the woman came, the New Year's Day buns are her own do, the neighbors also said that the buns do the right thing.
Hengzi's half-sister called Yuehua, polio since childhood, the brain is not very bright, did not go to school, she married early to the field, married a few years, gave birth to a male child, the child I have seen once, look especially smart, and then heard that Yuehua suffered from a serious illness, the in-laws feel cumbersome, the son of the insistence on divorce, Yuehua did not rebel, perhaps she did not even feel their own life! Yuehua didn't resist, perhaps she didn't even feel the sadness of her life, she was just obedient from the beginning, obedient to get married and obedient to leave. But she insisted on taking her child back to her mother's home, even if she is a fool in the eyes of others, but in her eyes, she has not been able to tolerate anything under the world, and the child is the only thing she has left in her limited consciousness.
? His mother's family naturally will not say anything, living at the bottom of society, accustomed to the cold-eyed ridicule, the so-called abandoned nothing to take or not to accept, don't want is really don't want. Not many days after his return, Yuehua became seriously ill and died. According to village custom, young people should be buried as soon as possible after death. Sending away Yuehua, no one in the family cried, only when the child asked Hengzi, why put his mother into the big wooden box to carry away, Hengzi tears. The poor child does not yet know the concept of life and death, much less what it means to separate mother and child.
Yuehua is gone, leaving the child all day to follow Hengzi, Hengzi went out to work, the woman also followed, the child in the arms or let the child ride on the shoulder, like a family together, but also a kind of happiness. Every summer vacation back to grandma's house, evening out to wander, can always see this woman in the square, with a group of women behind the square dance, style, the village people also as a fun after dinner, a lively, and Heng Zi, looking at the hands of other children to take some snacks, they will also go to buy for nephews to eat. The village restaurant sells egg fried noodles, the child yelled to eat, but people do not let Hengzi and the woman into, so every time the child is sitting inside to eat, they lie outside the window to see. To the woman, Hengzi is not bad, the woman followed Hengzi to go to which family work, always ask for cigarettes to eat. And although Hengzi earns not much, but will always buy the cheapest cigarettes in the kiosk to her to eat, the woman heartache very much.
? At the beginning of this year, there are local police, village officials, with a few mouths from out of town came to Hengzi's home, said the woman's family, came to be to take the woman home. They explained that the woman initially left because of mental stimulation, and her a man in the village to our village brick kiln pulling bricks recognized at once, went back to tell this to people's families. When his family came over and wanted to hug her, she hid behind Hengzi, clutching Hengzi's clothes. Hengzi's father said: "Girl, your family has come to pick you up, quickly go home to live a good life", after discussion, the family decided to give Hengzi tens of thousands of dollars as a thank you. "Do not give a million do not let go" Hengzi yelled, afraid that he is simple-minded think that the money wants more, people naturally can not go. Finally, the stalemate, Hengzi father went to the brigade with people, signed, also took the money. The woman in the evening by the family mandatory take away, the child cried, Hengzi also cried, honest half of the life of Hengzi and father angry, asked him why to take the money, why to let people go.
The summer vacation back to the grandmother's home, in the village again see Hengzi, "Hengzi ah, your little daughter-in-law miles? I'm afraid that your father got the money to let people abducted miles." The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey.
Every time I went to my grandmother's house after that, I took the small road because I was afraid of running into Hengzi on the main road, afraid of his timid and kind eyes to test the world. I was afraid to see the numbness of his eyes, which did not know how to resist or struggle against the bullying, and did not even try to escape from it. He could only look at him with a dull gaze that told him he was used to everything that happened in the past. What I am even more afraid of is running into those people who have gathered in piles, like a bunch of ants, ready to rancid people's hearts.
These are the first time I've ever heard a person talk about Hengzi, and I've always avoided them.
I have never felt that I counted what good people, may not want to rush to accept the flaws of human nature, so only to choose to avoid suffering, turn a blind eye, always feel that this way, all the end will be the best.
