In This Life I Will Be Happy - Chapter 2
It’s raining again!
A five-year-old girl was sitting on the threshold of a small courtyard with her elbows on her chin. She closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the rustling rain outside. On the ground, there were already a series of water eddies on the ground, and the leakage from the eaves clattered.
The girl looks pretty, but her skin is a little bit yellow, and her hair is not very thick and dark. Only her lips are beautiful, and her sharp cherry mouth is a little lighter and less ruddy.
She is a little girl with malnutrition. If she is white and ruddy, she may look better.
All of a sudden, she reached for the rain.
“As you please!” A soft voice came, and in the misty rain curtain, a lady in coarse cloth came in a hurry. Although she was wearing coarse cloth and had a large basket on her back, she was very delicate and graceful. The closer she came, the more you could feel the soft light flowing from her eyes.
Suixi immediately took back his hand and stood up with the doorpost, “Aung, you are back.”
It turns out that this young woman is Guan Niang.
Guan Niang said hello to her neighbor, then she came to pick her up and said, “I told you many times. Don’t wait for me outside the door. Although it’s raining, you should be careful that it’s hot.”
Suixi cleverly put her arm around Guan Niang’s neck, smelling the familiar warm smell on her, she whispered, “grandma only wants to play with her younger brother, and my father is drinking again.”
Guan Erye got his fame four years ago. Now he works as a clerk in the Yamen’s book office. He is in charge of the examination of Cheng. He married the daughter of his master county magistrate two years ago. Last year, he gave birth to a boy named Tai Yu. He has never been loved by all the people in Suixi. He was not favored at home. In the past year, his father didn’t love him, but his grandmother didn’t love him. He only cared about her 。
“Aung bought pork. Would you like to have some fried pork tonight?” Guan Niang’s heart was sour when she heard the speech. She just hugged Suixi and said with a smile.
Suixi showed a charming smile. She had not eaten pork for half a month. Her grandmother said that the pork should be reserved for her father-in-law and uncle-in-law because they were the pillars of the family. However, she heard that her grandmother had secretly left pork for her aunt and asked her aunt to give birth to a son to the Guan family.
Why do you have pork when you have a son? This is something that Suixi has been unable to understand.
Guan Niang holds Suixi into the room. Uncle Guan just twists a peanut and throws it into his mouth. Seeing Suixi in her arms, his face sinks, “it’s not that she doesn’t have long feet. Do you still need to hold it when you are so big?”
Suixi timidly said in Guan Niang’s ear, “Aung, Suixi can walk by himself.”
With a sad look at Suixi, she put her on the low chair by the door and said to Mr. Guan, “Why are you drinking at home again? I don’t want to go to the Yamen to see if there is a job to make up for it. ”
“There are only some petty officials in the Yamen. Can’t I be a petty official?” Uncle Guan ate peanuts and took a sip of wine. His cheeks were full of wine.
“You can’t drink at home.” She untied the basket behind her back and twisted a silk towel to wipe her sweat. “Although there is a small piece of land at home, my mother can’t do it any more. I have to help others to pay for the family. If you are…”
“OK, OK. I don’t want the land in the end. I’m a great Jinshi. Do I have to go to the fields to farm?” Uncle Guan was impatient. If it hadn’t happened to be the beginning of the change of Dynasty, the imperial court was cutting down its leisure duties and had no time to take care of them, such as Jinshi. If it had not happened before How should he be at this time?
It’s just a bad time!
Guan Niang bit her lip and whispered, “I know I have wronged you, but I can’t help it? You’ve never made up for your job. ”
“If you can make up for it, it depends on how much money you have. If you don’t give people some benefits, will they arrange errands for you? It’s not that I don’t have the ability, it’s that I have no luck. If I have money, I still need to stay at home. ”
“How much money does that cost?” She wiped her hands and sat down opposite him.
Uncle Guan held out five fingers and said, “twenty taels, ten taels!”
“So much?” Guan Niang took a breath of air-conditioning, and the family could not come up with five Liang silver.
“Deng Xiaozi in the next street is just a scholar, because he went to use silver. Now he is the inspector of Yamen.” Mr. Guan said that patrol inspection is a fat job.
“Well, you can try. I’ll borrow money from my mother’s tomorrow. I have just got the salary here. I can make up 50 Liang, and then I can borrow 50 liang from my sister.” Guan Niang Zi gnaws her teeth.
“It’s only ten Liang. What’s the use of it?” Uncle Guan snorted, and suddenly his eyes flashed, staring straight at Guan Niang, “don’t you still have a box of dowry…”
“That’s not good. It’s for the joy.” Guan Niang Zi does not want to return.
“What matters now?” Uncle Guan glared and felt that his daughter was losing money.
“I can’t help thinking about my daughter. I’ll borrow money tomorrow.” Guan Niang’s face turned pale and her heart was shaken. But seeing Suixi sitting by the door, she shook her head resolutely.Uncle Guan sighed, “well, I shouldn’t have used your dowry. It’s always your mother’s wish for you. I just like her I don’t know if I can get married in the future
“She’s my daughter, whether she’s married or not.” Guan Niang’s eyes are slightly red. After leaving her words, she takes up Suixi and goes out.
Uncle Guan looked at the back of their wives, and their bearded faces showed helplessness.
“Sit here, Aung, go and fry the meat.” Guan Niang will be happy to place in the kitchen door on the small stool, their own quickly cooking.
Throw the branches into the stove, and when the fire starts, throw in the dry wood, wash the rice and cook the rice quickly, then slice the palm sized lean meat, beat two eggs to make the soup, stir fry a vegetable without oil, and cut a plate of dried pickled vegetables.
The rice fragrance came out in bursts and swallowed with pleasure.
Guan Niang put all the food on the tray. Just as she was about to take it out, Mrs. Guan came in with a smile and took over the tray in her hand. “I’ll take this out. You can take out some bowls of rice.”
“Yes, mother.” Guan Niang answered and sighed weakly.
Old Guan, who had passed away, used to be a gentleman of the Academy. Although his family was poor, he was also a scholarly family. He had set a lot of rules. When eating, the elder and his husband had to eat first, and then it was the woman’s turn to clean up the food and go to the kitchen to eat.
Guan Er Niang Zi gave birth to Tai Yu, so old lady Guan was more tolerant to her and allowed her to eat in her own room. Guan Niang Zi needed to cook for her.
Suixi in one side to swallow hard, rice and meat fragrance will be her stomach greedy insects are led out.
When the old lady Guan and the two gentlemen finished their dinner, there was no pork left, but some leftovers.
The second master of Guan helped the old lady back to the house. The lady looked at him heartily. Her daughter had not eaten meat for many days. Now she is growing up
“It’s still hot. Go and eat.” Uncle Guan put two pieces of pork secretly hidden in the bowl on the plate, and asked Guan Niang to go back to the kitchen.
Guan Niangzi gently smiles at him, picks up the dishes and chopsticks and goes to the kitchen with random pleasure.
“Your father left you a piece of meat. Eat it quickly.” Guan Niang Zi put the egg soup and meat slices in the random bowl, while she mixed the vegetable juice with rice and rice. Thinking of her husband’s considerate behavior, she was warm in her heart, even if there was no meat slices, she also ate well.
“Aung, there are two pieces of meat. We have one piece each.” Suixi childish voice said, with a small hand to pass the meat to Guan Niang Zi.
“Aung has already eaten it. This is for Suixi.” Guan Niang said with a smile.
After dinner, Guan Niangzi washes dishes by the well with pleasure.
Suixi sits not far behind her, listening to the delicate sound of porcelain dishes. Although she can’t see it, she can feel that she is very happy now.
Although my father didn’t like her, he was very kind to her. Every night after she finished her work, he would beat her back and tell jokes to her.
She was sleeping in the hut next door to them and could hear it clearly.
Every time I talk to her about the past things with my father, my voice always has a smile. The smile on my face should be very sweet, too.
Guan Niang Zi is not from Xili city. Her family name is Luo, and Luo family is also a scholarly family. Master Luo is the master of wulicheng Academy. I heard that when Guan met Guan Niang Zi in Wuli City, he was out of his mind and ran to Wuli city every day. Originally, Lord Luo refused to give his daughter to Guan. He only agreed when he saw that Guan was sincere to his daughter Come down.
This story, which is full of sweetness in the memory of Guan Niang, is just like this. She is younger, and does not know how much patience he spent at the beginning and how to make a life and death relationship with Guan Niang can make him stay together forever.
When Suixi was in a daze, guanniang Zi had washed all the dishes and put them back in the kitchen. She dried her hands and took Suixi back to the house. She said to her daughter with a smile, “tomorrow is a fine day. There are many stars in the sky.”
“Aung, what do stars look like?” He rubbed his eyes and asked in a childish voice.
Guan Niang looked at her daughter’s eyes, which had been closed for five years. She tried to make her voice sound the same. “The stars are like fireflies. They will shine brightly.”
With his head askew, but what does a firefly look like?
I really want to open my eyes and see what the sun looks like, what color the sky is, and how bright the stars are
But every time she opened her eyes, her head would hurt and her chest would hurt, as if something was blocked. After trying several times, she did not dare to try again.
“Well, it’s late. Go to bed early if you like. Maybe you can see the sun rise tomorrow.” Guan Niang picked up Suixi and went to the bed Kang and hummed the nursery rhyme gently.
Sleep, sleep, my baby.
The stars in the sky hang high, like countless gems that can blink.Every dream of the baby is buried in my mother’s heart.
You cry, you laugh, you are in my arms.
Quiet to sleep, with a smile on the corner of the mouth.
Niang accompany you to find that little dream
With the happy breath gradually extended and even up, Guan Niang Zi put down some yellowing linen curtains, showed a gentle and loving smile, blew out the candle, and quietly walked out of the hut.
Niang, Suixi’s dream can’t be true.
