However, every time my grandfather talked about this fact, he would say something about my aunt. According to my grandfather, my aunt was the poorest in the family at that time. In the earthen house that I got up from, the wind and rain were hard to sleep, and life was hard and tight, but my aunt was born very sensible. I don’t know if my grandfather’s memories have been polished by time. Aunt’s description in his description is simply a conceivable one. Exemplary model.
My aunt started helping the family with farm work when she was very young. She was also very smart. When she was 6 years old, she stood on a square table and recited the entire Mao Zedong quote at a town meeting. Whenever grandpa finished talking about aunt, he would ask grandma. Isn't that the case? Grandma is a person who doesn't speak much. At this time, she will mumble for a while, 'That child is a good girl, a good girl'.
Later, my aunt died of encephalitis, and she seemed to be 6 or 7 years old when she walked. According to my grandfather's description, on the way to take my aunt to the hospital on a bicycle that night, she gently patted my grandfather and said that her new shoes had fallen off. , Grandpa got out of the car and picked up her shoes and put them in his arms. They were specially bought for her to reward aunt for her studies when grandpa went to pour tea a few days ago.
Due to the poor medical conditions at that time, my aunt left that night. Grandpa did not dare to tell grandma when he came back. Fearing that she would not be able to bear it, he quietly buried the aunt and lied to grandma that she was cured and left her aunt in Jinan. They played at home for a few days, but that day grandma saw the new shoes in grandpa's arms and knew what was going on. They didn't describe how sad they were about it, or howling or anything, they just said that For a while, I forgot how I lived. Although the child is gone, I can't forget it. I miss her everything. Later, this state lasted for a long time, and it was too exhausting. Speaking of my aunt, they burned everything that connected with my aunt. In the old photos at home, there are only photos of my father and his three brothers, and there are no other photos.
A few years ago, during the New Year's family gathering, my grandfather suddenly mentioned my aunt, and then my grandma and I both shed tears. My uncle probably didn't have an impression of this sister, so he directly advised grandpa and grandma to have more fun during the Chinese New Year. Now the conditions are good. Now, I'm so old, don't talk about that time again. I don’t know if my grandfather was really persuaded, or if he is old, he really never mentioned this aunt to me again, and when he helped grandpa organize his memoirs last year, there was indeed a story about his aunt in it. I think maybe grandpa really When you are old, you can forget things you want to forget, which is not bad.
Through the descriptions of grandpa and grandma, when restoring the image of my aunt, she only had an extremely trance-like figure there, neither speaking nor moving. When watching the movie "Face Change" tonight, the protagonist in the movie The little girl suddenly jumped into the body of my aunt in my impression, just like this, a movie, inexplicably opened up a time and memory that was far away from me, and somehow, I miss mine very much. Aunt, I think if she was still alive, she would be a model wife and mother, and she lived a very happy life, right?
