Chapter 248

Liu Sisi's family lives on the top floor of the Imperial Blue Garden.

It is adjacent to the suburbs of the city. On the map of Shanghai, it was once the peak of the southernmost tip of the city. With the development of Pudong, the city has expanded without control. The newly published map has been wrapped up, and it gradually feels like it has fallen into the inland.

When I got home, my mother was at home as usual.

Sisi first told her mother about her studies in the training class. Although her mother complained, she did not have any strong objections.

My father is in Suzhou and usually only comes back a few days a week, and only Sisi lives with her mother at home.

My mother was in her forties. She used to be in a factory on the street. Later, she moved out of Huanghe Road and stayed at home.

My father was hired in a Suzhou company and had a good income, so the whole family didn't have to worry about making a living.

The relationship between my father and mother has improved slightly in the past two years. Sisi remembered that one year, when the relationship between my father and mother was the most rigid, my father never came back for the Spring Festival.

Since Shaby discovered that affair between her father and another woman, the family has lost peace for a while.

There is a special situation here. Sisi's father's hometown is Chongming. He was one of the first students to go to college after the Cultural Revolution. At that time, his life in his hometown in the countryside was very difficult. Sisi's father finished his studies in Shanghai with the support of Sisi's father (mother's father).

It should be said that Sisi's mother and family have given a lot of financial help to Sisi's father and family.

Sisi's mother and father are sisters of aunts, that is, Sisi's grandmother and Sisi's grandmother are sisters of relatives. Chinese people have always had a habit of believing that aunts and cousins ​​are kinship from generation to generation, and two aunts are relatives by the wayside. Therefore, there is no taboo in getting married to the children of two aunts.

Such intimate marriage was very common in the old days. Sometimes, this intimate marriage method has always affected the first generation of children, which is indeed an incredible feeling.

The journey of modern Chinese civilization dragged a long tail, just like a comet flashing through the sky, the front is close to the sun, and the back is still soaked in the cold mysterious sky.

Sisi didn't know much about the previous generation, but she roughly understood some of her parents' situations.

During the Cultural Revolution, my mother wanted to be sent to other places. At that time, the places where Shanghai people were delegated were mainly Heilongjiang, Anhui, Yunnan and Chongming Island near Shanghai.

The father-in-law with four children racked his brains to the whereabouts of their children.

The eldest daughter has become a teacher and must stay in Shanghai. The two disabled daughters are arranged to be in the street factory, and there are also suitable reasons. The youngest son who cares most goes to Anhui Tea Forest Farm to be an educated youth. Sisi's mother thinks about it again and again, and her father-in-law brings him to Chongming Island.

Because Sisi's father-in-law's generation comes from Chongming.

There are many relatives there, which can be convenient for taking care of Sisi's mother.

At that time, Sisi's mother lived in Sisi's father's house. After all, the mothers of the two were legitimate sisters, so this should be said to be the arrangement of the father-in-law's good intentions.

At that time, my father worked as a teacher in Chongming, while my mother worked on the farm.

My father-in-law's intention at that time was that he expected his daughter to marry Sisi's father.

In fact, Sisi can feel that the father and mother have never developed feelings for each other.

Perhaps the blood relationship that is too close in nature has caused a kind of rejection between father and mother. The life of educated youth is dull and painful, and there is no possibility of romance at all.

Two young people ate and lived together, but their relationship was very cold.

The Cultural Revolution ended and the national unified examination was held in the first year. After all, my father had been a teacher and had a certain degree of math, physics and chemistry. His father-in-law sent a self-study series from Shanghai that was hard to find at that time and was admitted to a university in Shanghai. This was a typical example of jumping into Longmen from the farm gate.

However, Sisi's father's family was too poor, and the funds for the university were paid by Sisi's father-in-law.After graduating from university, my father-in-law recruited Chongming's relatives to Shanghai without saying a word and announced the marriage publicly.

The two men and women who did not love each other got together under the arrangement of their father-in-law.

This is what Sisi learned about her parents’ general situation.

Later, my father and mother had a divorce and kept making trouble with my father-in-law.

At that time, my father-in-law was very prestigious at home and said the same thing. This prestige came from his father-in-law who had always supported the whole family with his generous income and raised the children to adulthood. No one in the family dared to repent.

The father-in-law called his mother and father together, asked him to kneel down on the ground, apologize to his mother, and issued a strict order, not allowing anyone to file for divorce.

The family was temporarily protected.

For Sisi, this is what she hopes most.

She felt glad that she had not suffered the delay of this split family. The child would never understand that the two people were together and had feelings for each other. She only felt that her father and mother were the two closest people. With her as the core, she would never hope that this community with the same bed and different dreams would disintegrate.

In Sisi's vague impression, one of them hated Shabi very much. The reason was that Shabi uncovered the manhole cover of the father and mother's disagreement, causing the conflict to break out. Although she had some communication with Shabi during the training class, Sisi knew more that Shabi should not bear so much responsibility, the shadow in her heart would not be eliminated in a short time.

Especially last time Shabby took the initiative to introduce her to her partner, which made Sisi's anger cute again.

Another thing is that I admire my father-in-law very much.

My father-in-law is the sky at home. At that time, when my father and mother divorced, she had been living in her father-in-law's house. She was also very scared, afraid that she would be abandoned by her father and mother. However, she only used his compulsory means to clear the indescribable entanglement between her father and mother. Sisi was particularly happy about this. She felt that with her father-in-law, she would not be afraid of anything happening here.

Later, when my father-in-law went out, he fell silently.

After retirement, my father-in-law was hired as an engineer at the Huludao Shipyard in Liaoning. The purpose is to make more money. After all, there are many children in the family, and most of their living conditions are laid off and have no career. Life forces him to continue working hard.

My father-in-law fell in the alley at the door, and once he fell down, he never opened his eyes again.

After my father-in-law passed away, I couldn't stay there on Huanghe Road. Due to the construction of Shanghai Zhongnanhai, a large number of old residents were demolished and relocated.

It was not until the largest senior official in Shanghai was dismissed in 2006 that the potential impact of this Shanghai Zhongnanhai on the old structure was vaguely seen.

This is a later story, it’s better not to mention it.
