Aunt Zhang's daughter and I are two years apart, and only one year apart in junior high school. We often go to school together, play together and play well with her other daughter. For a time, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhang often came to my house to play cards, and our children always had a good time together.
My mother is full of regrets when she talks about Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang used to be my mother's best friend, and my father often talked to Aunt Zhang when he quarreled. Mother said a meaningful sentence, "Aunt Zhang, you are simply angry".
Aunt Zhang was beautiful and capable when she was young. She is good at singing, but she has been isolated from singing since she got engaged. The reason is that her lover Zhou Bobo doesn't like his wife to be called a "player". In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the conservative ideas in Henan rural areas made people misunderstand the opera industry at that time. Uncle Zhou, like ordinary men, hopes that Aunt Zhang, who is lively and active, will have children at home and take care of them after marriage.
After marriage, Aunt Zhang has four children, two men and two women, which are considered as two children. Uncle Zhou later became a private teacher and later became a formal teacher of the school. Slowly, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhang have a gap not only in knowledge, but also in all aspects of life. Uncle Zhou is surrounded by female teachers, so it is inevitable to compare his aunt with the female teachers at school. Uncle Zhou likes studying, and he is a geography teacher in the school. He has a wide range of knowledge and is humorous. But when I got home, the gap between me and Aunt Zhang grew bigger and bigger, and I couldn't help feeling disgusted with her. Although there is no formal job, this aunt can cook, wash clothes, take care of children and do everything, but she still doesn't enter her father's eyes.
? It is normal for two people to quarrel for half a year in their married life. On a winter night of the Cold War, Aunt Zhang got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and accidentally fell to the floor. Uncle Zhou turned a blind eye. Once in a quarrel, my uncle spilled a bowl of hot soup on my aunt's face. Aunt Zhang often comes to my house, and she is willing to talk to my mother about anything that goes wrong. These secrets between husband and wife are also told to her mother by Aunt Zhang in tears.
? After decades of compromise, Aunt Zhang is trying to smile every day. Aunt has been suffering from minor illness since she was 30 years old. In fact, she got lung cancer in her fifties and had chemotherapy for a period of time. Her mother went to visit her at home. She had a strong personality and said that she would get well soon. Her mother was heartbroken.
Because I was so sad, my mother couldn't bear to attend Aunt Zhang's funeral. However, the mother sighed, "Now she can rest in peace, and her inner bitterness has finally been exhausted."
Aunt Zhang's daughter, my childhood friend, once said to Aunt Zhang, "I can't live a day like you." Aunt Zhang gradually lost her former glory in such a day-to-day life. Marriage, like wine, can be reflected in the body and face. A beautiful marriage is like red wine, which makes people feel like spring breeze and full of vitality. A cold marriage is like poisoned wine, which is not only sad but also harmful.
