mtl008 Chapter 234 Fatherhood
Chapter 234 Fatherhood
The wheel of time slowly rolls over everyone's life path, leaving behind a series of fragmented marks.
In a blink of an eye, it was July 2001, 7.
Ding An is ten years old this year, and it is time for him to be troubled.
She is unhappy and worried every day.
She was very smart since she was young, and had a photographic memory. Her academic performance was always top-notch, and her neighbors always said, "Look at Ding An, he got first place in the exam this time, and look at how many points you got..."
The good kid who is envied by other families is disliked by everyone in the Ding family.
Ever since he could remember, Ding An always felt that he was the source of all evil in his family.
After my father came back from prison after serving several years, he would quarrel with my mother every few days. Sometimes he would even beat her, always saying that it was my mother who had cut off the Ding family's bloodline.
Her mother would always complain in front of her, saying that life was unbearable and inciting her to slander her father.
As a result, every time she blamed her father, her mother would inexplicably jump out to defend her father, stand on his side, accuse her of being unfilial, and stab her in the back.
When she asked her mother why she did this, her mother would always say, "I didn't divorce your father because of you. I endured all this because of you."
"for you..."
"It's all for you!"
She felt that all the suffering her mother endured was caused by her.
But in fact, all the suffering is over after leaving my father.
She had advised her mother to divorce and live alone.
But my mother would say, "Your father is very nice sometimes, and he would apologize to me if he hit me."
"I have nowhere to go after getting divorced."
"Divorce will lead to a lot of gossip."
"For you, I can't divorce..."
Anyway, there are countless reasons why I can't get divorced.
She wanted to rescue her mother, but her mother insisted on staying stuck in the mud pit and she couldn't pull her out.
She felt very upset and often went to her secret base to cry.
This secret base is actually an abandoned factory. Many residents in the surrounding area throw their unwanted furniture or garbage into it.
She often finds some books or newspapers in the trash to read.
A lot of knowledge and principles were learned here.
It’s like there is an invisible teacher right beside her, teaching her to grow step by step.
Today's newspaper is particularly relevant.
There was a short story on it, exactly the same thing that happened to her.
The latter part of the article spends a lot of space analyzing why such a family would have such problems.
“Never sympathize with mothers in patriarchal families. Although they may flatter their husbands and devote themselves to their sons, they are always gifted in how to hurt their daughters.
While they complained to their daughters, they were willing to sacrifice for their sons, and at the same time they incited their daughters to slander their fathers.
When the daughter had a conflict with her father, she jumped out to defend her father.
When she complains to you, she wants to arouse your desire to save her, make you sympathize with her, pity her, and suffer for her. She wants to assimilate you into being the same person as her.
If you empathize with her, she will immediately blame you in return to show her tolerance and kindness.
She complains only to manipulate you and gain your unconditional obedience.
She has never been a victim, but an advocate and practitioner of patriarchy, the highest defender of patriarchy.
She asks you to charge into battle and block bullets for her, while she herself remains perfectly invisible, gaining both benefits and reputation.
Please remember, you will bear the fate of whoever you care about.
Don't feel sorry for your mother. In the end you will find that you are the most pitiful person. Her suffering is her own choice.
When you are the only one in the family who empathizes with her, her suffering will naturally be passed on to you.
Only by studying hard, making yourself independent, and changing the mindset of your patriarchal mother, can you have the strength to resist patriarchy. "
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, a lot of fireworks exploded in the sky.
Very gorgeous and eye-catching.
Many people were shouting, "Did you really get it?!"
"We got the right to host the Olympics!"
The light of the fireworks was reflected in Ding An's eyes, and he was already in tears.
The mind is extremely clear.
She suddenly understood what her future path should be.
.......
The International Olympic Committee announced today that China has won the right to host the 2008 Summer Olympics.
The news quickly spread throughout China through television, radio and the Internet, sparking enthusiastic celebrations across the country.
That night, people spontaneously took to the streets, waving national flags and cheering.
Cars honked, fireworks exploded, and the whole city was immersed in a sea of celebration.
People hugged each other and shed tears of excitement. This was the first time in the history of China that it hosted the Olympic Games. It not only meant the international community's recognition of China's achievements in reform and opening up, but was also an important milestone for China to move toward the world.
Old Master An is 89 years old this year.
He looked at the fireworks blooming outside the window and the dazzling bustling city night scene, and shed two lines of tears.
"Dad, did you see this? This prosperous age...is just as you wish."
Some people live with their breath held tight.
Once this breath is gone, the person's energy and spirit will also be gone.
Old Master An fell ill and could not get up.
This disease is so severe that you won't survive for more than a few days.
The An family kept him alive at all costs, waiting for An Feng to come back to see him for the last time.
But Old Master An said, "Go and invite Wen Jing over. I want to see her."
The An family had no choice but to do as they were told.
When Wen Jing received the news, she immediately requested a helicopter to rush to An's house.
She is 31 years old this year and is now an outstanding air force officer with the rank of colonel. She is also a doctoral graduate from Tsinghua University.
When the two of them arrived at the An family, An Feng also happened to come back.
An Feng is now forty years old. Although he looks young, his temples are gray and there are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
This is the result of working hard for the people.
He has already reached the level of national leadership, and has a group of people following him to protect his safety.
Seeing Wen Jing wearing sunglasses and dressed neatly, looking like a martial artist, everyone became nervous.
Wen Jing nodded at him and said, "Long time no see."
The two hadn't seen each other for many years. When An Feng saw her again, it was as if she had never changed. She was still as energetic as he remembered. His heartbeat echoed in his ears.
"Well, long time no see."
The two went to see Old Master An together.
Old Master An was half leaning on the hospital bed. He didn't have many tubes inserted into his body. His face was ruddy and he looked in good spirits. He didn't look like an old man who was about to die at all.
An Feng knew very well that this was a last gasp.
His eyes were red, "Grandpa..."
Old Master An waved his hand and said, "Don't make this a death. I've lived for nearly fifty extra years. I've lived enough."
"Don't make my funeral too grand, just keep it simple, and bury my ashes next to my father."
With every word he spoke, the atmosphere in the room became more depressing, with occasional sobbing sounds.
Old Master An immediately drove them away, "If you want to cry, go out and cry. Don't cry here. I'm tired of hearing you cry. Everyone, go out. Wen Jing, stay here. I want to talk to you alone."
