The life of a couple

When I was a child, a couple lived in the compound of the unit, with seven children.

Among them, the sixth and seventh sisters of his family are three years older than me, and one is one year younger than me, which is my childhood playmate.

The couple were a pair of rivals, quarreling and fighting at both ends for three days.

The female I call her Aunt Wu, and the male uncle Lu.

As long as the couple quarreled, everyone in the whole compound would hear it, because Aunt Wu's high-decibel voice and high-frequency shouting and scolding did not want to hear it.

And the fight, is even more earth-shattering, they are not fists and feet greeting, but with knives and sticks, the scene is really scary, we children are hiding in the corner secretly watching.

As long as there is a fight, it is the men in the courtyard who go to persuade them, and the women do not dare to come closer.

Aunt Wu and his wife are tall, especially Aunt Wu, who is tall and strong, and although Uncle Lu is similar in size to her, he looks weaker.

Every time there was a verbal fight, it was basically Aunt Wu who had the upper hand, and often saw Uncle Lu's face blue and purple to go to work.

Once, the husband and wife hit the courtyard from the house, and the loud noise alarmed the whole hospital.

My grandmother and I also put down the dishes and chopsticks and went out to see the situation.

Only to see Aunt Wu wielding a kitchen knife in her hand, Uncle Lu staggered and dodged, and the blood coming out of his forehead had already stained half of his face and half of his shoulders red...

Two or three uncles had rushed up to grab the kitchen knife in Aunt Wu's hand and shouted at her, "You want his life, don't put the knife down..."

Uncle Lu had been supported by the neighbors, and someone ran to the street to call a rickshaw and take Uncle Lu to the hospital.

Aunt Wu, who had been robbed of the knife, sat on the stone steps of the compound and shouted loudly to the neighbors who were watching, "What are you doing, I will kill him and I will die, it is not your business..."

Everyone looked at her and shook her head and sighed, and a big aunt said, "You are better off divorcing like this, why are you so bitter toss him, everyone is not happy"

Aunt Wu said, "Divorce? The beauty of thinking is not to leave, to leave the cheap fox essence..."

Afterwards, Uncle Lu went to his sister's house to nurse more than ten days of injuries, and when he returned, he still had gauze wrapped around his head.

Who knew that soon after entering the house, there was a noise from his house, only to hear Aunt Wu's loud voice, "You come back without making a sound, pulling your face to show to whom, since you ignore the old woman, don't want to eat the food made by the old woman..." Subsequently, the house was a sound of splitting pots and pans and chopsticks...

Grandma hurriedly closed the door and sighed at me, "Your Uncle Lu has suffered again, it is really a sin, married a humble woman..."

One day, my seventh sister and I were playing in the sand outside the compound, and I said, "Your mother is good or bad, why do you always beat your father?"

Seventh Sister put away her smile, bit her lip and said, "I hate my mother, I hate my mother."

I said, "When your mother beat your father, why didn't you protect your uncle?"

Seventh sister said, "We don't dare, as soon as my brother and sister made a sound, she even beat us together, you see the wound on my arm has not yet receded."

I looked up at the seventh sister's arm that had rolled up her sleeves, and I saw several bruises.

I asked, "Was this the one who was beaten up by my uncle?" ”

Seventh sister said, "Dad had a headache, I poured water for him to drink, and when my mother saw me, she scolded me and beat me, saying that my father was lying on the bed and standing up, pretending to be dead, and was not allowed to take care of him..."

A few years later, when I was in the first grade of junior high school, several of Aunt Wu's brothers and sisters also went to the factory to work and moved to the staff dormitory, and only the sixth and seventh were still in school.

One afternoon after school, just stepped into the compound, only to see many people shuttling back and forth, Aunt Wu's door and window are plastered with white paper.

"Uncle Lu has passed away," said the helper, "and Reuven is finally relieved..."

At that time, I didn't quite understand the words of the adults.

Since then, the compound has been much quieter, except for the occasional hearing of Aunt Wu's loud voice reprimanding the six sisters and seven sisters, there is no longer any noise and fighting.

Later, he gradually grew up and understood things, and gradually learned about the life of Aunt Wu and Uncle Lu from the small talk of the neighbors.

Uncle Lu is gentle and handsome, and has a good job, which is the favor of many girls, and Aunt Wu was once a primary school classmate.

Aunt Wu fell in love with Uncle Lu, but was rejected by Uncle Lu, and Aunt Wu played a trick to break up Uncle Lu and his fiancée, and married Uncle Lu.

But after marriage, she was suspicious of this hard-earned husband.

As long as Uncle Lu did not meet her enthusiasm or words, and did things in front of her slightly cold, she said that Uncle Lu was thinking of other women and did not love her...

Although Uncle Lu repeatedly explained and repeatedly emphasized, it would not help, so it would be noisy and noisy, Uncle Lu could not stand her kind of nonsense, unreasonable to find fault, want to divorce her, she refused to live or die.

Uncle Lu moved to the unit dormitory, and Aunt Wu went to Uncle Lu's unit to make a big fuss.

Uncle Lu was helpless and afraid of harming others, even if he was tormented by her, he had to return home.

The first few children graduated from junior high school one after another, and the children were not good at studying, and they also said that they did not want to go to school again, so they all went to the local textile factory and pastry factory to work.

That day, uncle Lu was on his way to work, the bicycle broke, went to the repair stall to change the chain, and returned half an hour later than usual.

Aunt Wu ignored Uncle Lu's explanation, insisting that he had been hooked by other women to fight wild, noisy and noisy.

Maybe these years have had enough, Uncle Lu took advantage of her kung fu to drink the enemy fear...

A few years ago, I went back to my hometown and met Aunt Wu, whose tall and strong body was already stooped, full of gray hair, on crutches, sitting alone on a stool in front of the door of the old house.

Neighbors around her said that she had been living here alone, her temper was still so violent and strange, her children did not dare to come close, and every time they came to see her, they hurriedly put down their things and left.

Once when she was sick, a kind neighbor called her eldest son to come, but she scolded the eldest son for looking like a dead ghost, did not want to see it, and waved his crutch to drive the eldest son out of the door.

The eldest son was helpless, and he could not ignore his sick old wife, so he had to pay a big aunt to help take care of him for a few days...
