Chapter 8319 Choose One
Perhaps the reason for grinding the roots at the beginning was entirely to please Lao Suntou and bring the two families closer together in order to achieve the purpose of sending his son to seek development outside the mountains.
But after a few bowls of wine, the valve of memory was opened, and those old things came to mind under the stimulation of alcohol, and even people's true feelings were also involved.
Mo Gen held Lao Suntou in his arms with tears in his eyes, "It's all my fault for not having the ability. If I had money, I could have sent my father to a medical clinic in the town outside the mountain for treatment, and he wouldn't be at home. After lying there for two days, he was dead..."
Mogen's father had eaten a poisonous mushroom in the mountains and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. He followed the village method to cure the moldy bones. The soup was given to the old man to fight poison with poison.
As a result, the poison failed to attack, but the people were sent away.
Later Mo Gen summed up the lessons learned from the death of many fathers, including poverty, backwardness, and the stubbornness and ignorance of people's minds that these brought about.
If I had been more resolute and decisive, instead of listening to this and that, and just taking my father out of the mountain, maybe the situation would have been different.
I was hesitant at first. On the one hand, I was young and had not seen the world, and the most important thing was that I had no money in my pocket.
Money is the courage of man!
Without money, you dare not think or do anything, and you will shrink wherever you go, being led by others and fate.
So, he worked hard to get closer to the Sun family, and with the help of the Sun family, he got into the right position in the Sun family ditch.
Although this is just a small village with only twenty or thirty households, he is still upright.
After working in this position for several years, Mo Gen found that it was not enough. He had to find a way to send his son out.
I can profit from the last bit of my old relationship with Uncle Sun. In the future, when Uncle Sun passes away, my son will be completely cut off from the Sun family. Then his son will be gone again. Have you fallen back to the original starting point?
No, it can't be like that. If you are poor, you will want to change.
That’s why Mo Gen tried his best and waited for the Sun family to return to the village to visit the grave.
I finally waited for this opportunity today, and immediately asked my family to kill chickens and ducks, and take out all the hard goods at home for the New Year to entertain the distinguished guests from outside the mountain...
Now that I have drunk wine, these The accumulated feelings were released, Mo Gen hugged the old man Sun Tou's arms were crying like a child, saying that he was unfilial and not a good son...
Hearing this, Old Sun Tou was also very moved and kept patting Mo Gen's back to comfort him. The relationship between him, uncle and nephew has become a lot closer invisibly.
After eating and drinking at Mogen's house, the group left in a mule cart.
Yang Ruoqing, Xiaojie, and the eldest Sun family were in the same carriage. In the carriage behind them were Huang Mao, Xiao Hua, He Lian'er and the others with several other children.
Xiao Jie opened a corner of the car curtain and looked behind.
I saw Lao Suntou saying goodbye to Mo Genna. Mo Gen helped Lao Suntou get into the mule cart at the back. The two held their hands tightly, reluctant to part.
“Stop looking, we’re leaving.”
Mrs. Sun held Xiao Jie's sleeping daughter in her arms and reminded Xiao Jie in a low voice.
Seeing that Xiaojie ignored her, Mrs. Sun extended her legs and kicked Xiaojie gently, "Sit tight."
Xiaojie then put down the curtain, turned around and followed Other people in the carriage said in puzzlement: "I was watching my grandfather say goodbye to Uncle Mo Gen. Tsk tsk. It seems that my grandfather was really emotionally moved. He seemed to regard Uncle Mo Gen as his nephew. Such a scene , when the great grandfather When we were still alive, we came back to visit relatives and visit their graves, and I saw the two brothers doing the same thing."
"But Uncle Mogen, we have no friendship with him, how come my grandfather seems to have eaten it in one meal. Did you really get a nephew?"
Da Sun glared at Xiaojie and said, "You kids don't understand, so don't talk nonsense."
< br>
Children's house?
Xiao Jie is not convinced by this title. "Mom, my daughter can make soy sauce, why am I still a kid?" she asked dissatisfied.
Da Sun said: "You can't see things clearly. This has nothing to do with your age."
Xiaojie twitched the corner of her mouth hard and turned around to ask Yang Ruoqing, who had closed her eyes and meditated since getting into the car, said: "Sister Qing'er, my mother said that I don't see clearly, but what about you? What do you think of this matter?"
Yang Ruoqing closed her eyes and curled her lips into a smile.
"Sister, why are you pretending to be serious? My mother is running against me, so you should help me talk!" Xiaojie gave Yang Ruoqing a gentle push.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but open her eyes and looked at Xiaojie's pouting look, "Let me ask you, if you were asked to choose a place between Sunjiagou and Changping Village to be your natal family, which one would you choose? If you win one, you have to give up the other. Son, which one will you choose?"
Xiaojie looked confused, "Do you have to choose one of the two?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "The one you didn't choose will not be allowed to do it again. Back.”
Xiaojie lowered her eyes, fidgeting with the handkerchief with her fingers, and was in a dilemma.
Da Sun and Sun quietly looked at each other, their eyes a little complicated.
Xiaojie took a deep breath, "If that's the case... I'd still choose Changping Village."
"Why?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.
Xiaojie frowned, looked at the eldest Sun and Sun, and said, "Because I have relatives in Changping Village."
"But you were born in Sunjiagou and grew up there for four or five years before moving to the mountains with your family." Yang Ruoqing reminded.
Xiaojie said: "Although that is the case, my relatives are all in Changping Village, so for me, wherever there are relatives, that is my natal family."
Yang Ruoqing Smile, "The reason why your natal family gives you a sense of belonging and intimacy is because you have relatives."
"For the same reason, for my father, your father, his feelings for Sunjiagou are also so complicated."
"But he is different from you. He is in the Sun family. After Gou spent the first half of his life, even if there were no relatives there, the old house was still there and he couldn't let it go. ”
"But when he went back, he felt that things were different and people were different. Finally, Uncle Mo Gen could help him feel a little closer to his relatives back home. His old man would definitely cherish that feeling. Plus, he had just drank again. , so it’s understandable to be reluctant to leave.”
Yang Ruoqing almost broke down the details and told Xiaojie in detail.
Now, even if Xiaojie is a fool, she can understand it.
She lowered her eyes, her expression a bit lonely.
I feel very happy and complete because I have everything. But as a father, he was not born to be her father.
He is also someone else's son, grandson, husband...
Not only does he need care from the younger generations, he also needs to go up and trace the old things that belong to his past, and the old friends who bear the shadow of the old things. , or the son of an old friend, this will make him feel warm towards Sunjiagou and about returning to Sunjiagou...
