973, looking back thirty years
Tangtang'er was very sad because Xiaohong died after giving birth to a baby fish, and she couldn't stop crying.
After Tang Shuang explained and comforted her, she felt a little better, and Tang Zhen held her in her arms and comforted her softly.
After a while, I finally comforted her that she didn't shed any more tears, but her big, simple and clean eyes were still watery, and she looked like she was about to shed tears at any time.
But the little baby told himself to be strong. The fish mother Xiaohong is so strong, so she must be strong too!
She allowed Tang Zhen to help her wipe away the tears on her face, and suddenly asked: "Sister, why is it so hard to be a mother? Will you die after giving birth to a baby?"
Tang Zhen was stunned, thought for a while, and said: "Being a mother is certainly hard work. Not only is it very dangerous when giving birth to a baby, you may die, but after giving birth to the baby, you have to take care of them, raise them, and coax them to sleep.
Make delicious food for them, buy nice clothes for them to wear, teach them to talk and walk, worry about them being bullied when they play outside... there are many, many, many, many, many, many, many things. Being a mother is very hard, you see ours
Mom, is it hard to be busy all day long?"
Candy thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, mommy works so hard! Mommy is so pitiful!"
Then he asked innocently: "Will my sister also be a mother in the future?"
Tang Zhen nodded: "Of course I will be a mother."
But Tangtang'er shook his head: "I don't want my sister to be my mother. Being a mother is so dangerous, and Tangtang'er is so worried about my sister."
Tang Zhen touched her little head gently: "Silly sister, although being a mother is very dangerous and hard, it is also very happy."
"happiness?"
"Yes, happiness. Didn't you just say that Xiaohong is very happy to have given birth to a fish baby? The happiness of being a mother is as big as the sea, and the danger and hardship of being a mother is like the lake in front of the door. Do you think it is the big sea or the lake in front of the door?
Huda?”
No need to think about this, it must be as big as the ocean.
"The sea is big."
"Yes, compared with so much happiness, so much danger and hardship are nothing."
"Will Candy be a mother when she grows up?"
"Of course, every girl will be a good mother in the future."
"Our mother pinch?"
"A good mother too."
"Was mom also a little girl before?"
"Of course. Mom used to be very cute, as cute as candy."
The two chatted for a long time. Tang Zhen looked at Xiaohong in the fish tank, who had completely lost his voice, and suggested that Xiaohong should be buried.
You can't keep floating in the water like this.
Candy was extremely reluctant, but had no choice.
After taking N photos of Xiaohong, she carried it to the grove and buried it next to Xiaohei and Xiaohua.
This little goldfish used its own life to teach Candy a vivid lesson.
When she returned home, she cared about her mother.
It was the first time I knew how dangerous and hard it was to be a mother. Xiaohong sacrificed herself to give birth to fish babies, so it must have been very painful for her mother to give birth to her and her brother and sister’s three babies, and she might have almost died.
Tang Zhen took Candy and started looking through photos of Huang Xiangning when he was young.
Candy has actually seen these photos, but she was too young and forgot about them after seeing them.
"Do you know who this is?"
Tang Zhen took out a thick photo album and opened the front page. There was a picture of a baby. She couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl, and she couldn't identify who it was.
This little baby is sitting in a stroller, facing the camera, holding his mouth and crying.
There are a few words on the photo, which are "half-year-old me".
"It's candy."
"..., this is not candy, this is mom."
"Mom?! This is mom???"
Candy was shocked. Is this little one, who is younger than her, her mother?
In her eyes, her mother has always been extremely powerful, extremely capable, and not afraid of anything!
However, the little one in front of me is not big at all, can’t walk, and has to ride in a stroller, let alone be able to do it! And she is crying, so she must be very scared!
How could this be a mother?
"Yes, this was when mom was half a year old." Tang Zhen said with certainty.
The candy's eyes are burrowing into the photo, and it's hard to match the baby with the mother for a while.
Tang Zhen continued to flip through it, and the second photo was a photo of Huang Xiangning and Huang Xiang when he was 6 years old.
The two stood upright side by side, looking at the camera and smiling shyly.
At that time, Huang Xiangning was wearing braids and a small skirt. Because the photo was in black and white, the color of the skirt could not be seen.
There is a photo next to it, still showing Huang Xiangning when he was 6 years old.
This time there are three people in the photo. In addition to Huang Xiangning, the other two are Huang Xiang and grandma Wu Siyuan.
The two of them sat on a stone pier, with the grandmother holding a child in one hand, and the three of them smiled very sweetly. It seemed that with their mother here, Huang Xiangning and Huang Xiang finally became more courageous, and they no longer smiled shyly.
"This is grandma! Grandma is so beautiful!" Candy actually recognized her grandma.
At that time, my grandmother was young, beautiful, and had a distinguished temperament, which was really impressive.
Tang Zhen: "Yes, this is grandma. Grandma had just become a mother at that time, and now she is both grandma and grandma. This is the process of a girl's growth."
Candy asked curiously: "What is the process?"
Tang Zhen: "The process is to grow up from a young age and then grow old. For example, grandma was a little girl before, then she grew up into a big girl, married grandpa, became grandpa's wife, and later gave birth to an uncle and a mother.
They married their mother, and then my mother married my father and gave birth to me, and my grandmother became my grandmother. My uncle married my aunt and gave birth to Weiwei, and my grandmother became my grandmother. This is the process, a process that a girl has to go through throughout her life.
.”
Tangtang'er thought about it for a while, answered the question and said, "Cantangtang'er is still a little girl, she hasn't grown into a big girl yet."
"Yes, Tang Tang is still a child. Your process has just begun. It's still spring."
"Where's my sister? I'm a big girl now. Are you going to be a wife?"
"……Um."
"I don't want—I don't want my sister to get married! My sister will always be Tang Tang's sister, and she can't go anywhere!"
Tangtang'er suddenly turned around, hugged Tang Zhen's waist tightly, and buried her head in her arms. Suddenly she raised her head again, looked pitifully at Tang Shuang beside her, and said, "Xiao Shuang doesn't want to marry either! Tangtang'er doesn't want to marry either.
You go!"
Tang Shuang: "..."
Next, Huang Xiangning was 8 years old.
This time it's finally a color photo.
Huang Xiangning and two children of the same age were standing somewhere, with a side of lush green vegetation behind them and the sun shining brightly.
Huang Xiangning stood in the middle, wearing a red beret crookedly, making scissor gestures with both hands, and smiling brightly.
Just like Candy’s Scissorhands!
At this time, Huang Xiangning already had some of his current appearance, and he was like a beautiful woman.
"This is when mom was 18 years old. Wasn't she pretty?"
Everyone scrolled all the way to the point where Huang Xiangning was 18 years old.
18-year-old Huang Xiangning makes Tang Zhen amazed every time she sees it.
In the photo, Huang Xiangning has a short ear-length haircut, wearing a shirt and a white suit! He also wears a bowler hat.
She put her left hand in her pocket and held her top hat in her right hand. She was walking on the road with a smile on her face and full of confidence.
Really like a fashion star.
Although the style he wears is no longer popular, when he wears it on Huang Xiangning, he has a clean temperament and looks particularly heroic and dazzling!
Even if you wear it now and walk on the street, you will definitely be the focus of attention, no less than those fashion stars!
From this, we can imagine how elegant Huang Xiangning was at that time.
There are a lot of photos at this time, dozens of them, covering all aspects of Huang Xiangning’s life.
There is her walking on campus holding a book...
She stood on the podium and gave a speech...
There was her uncle Huang Xiang who ran away with her on his back...
There are those where she plays the piano at home, and there are those where she competes on stage...
There is her riding a bicycle, and there is also her sitting on the back seat of a bicycle wearing a long skirt, showing her head and laughing...
There was one of her and a group of girlfriends rowing in the park...
There was her playing billiards with men and women...
There was one where she carried a large tape recorder and danced disco with people...
There is one of her holding a puppy...
There was her standing in the yard with one arm around her grandmother and the other around her grandfather...
She fed the chicks under the purple wisteria...
There was her helping her grandpa pick loofahs in the vegetable garden...
…
Tang Zhen looked through these photos, as if going back thirty years in time, seeing what her mother looked like when she was young, seeing her youth, and experiencing her youth.
Turning over the photos one by one, everyone seemed to witness their mother's growth process with their own eyes.
Although they have never really seen their mother's growth process, through the photos, they can still see many changes during that time.
She grew up little by little from the "half-year-old me", went through Tangtang'er's age, Tang Shuang's age, Tang Zhen's age, and then reached her current age.
Every step my mother took could be traced on the three of them.
For a moment, Tang Zhen couldn't tell whether it was herself or her mother in the photo.
Until the person in the photo is still changing, after overlapping with her at a certain time, moving forward, the years begin to leave traces, and she begins to appear in the photo, Xiaoshuang, and finally Cantang...
Everything returns to reality.
You cannot go back in time, you cannot go back thirty years, you cannot even go back one minute or one second.
