Chapter 214 Xu Sanguan’s Fatherly Love!
"The Great Famine..."
“This era is studied in history textbooks.
"I heard my great-grandfather say a few years ago that many people died during the Great Famine, and there was almost no food to eat at that time."
…
Entering the second half of the novel, readers are increasingly able to understand the emotions described in the book.
Compared with "Alive", "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" has more warmth and the depiction is also more realistic.
Entering the year of the Great Famine, Xu Sanguan's family also lived a life of poverty.
According to Xu Sanguan's calculations, for fifty-seven consecutive days, the family only drank corn porridge, without even any meat.
So Xu Sanguan once again had an idea:
"I'm going to sell blood. I want my family to have a good meal."
…
"What the fuck! I originally thought that Xu Sanguan's selling blood was out of greed, but these times he sold blood, it's not the case!"
“The first time was just out of curiosity, the second time was to pay back the money for my son, and now it’s so that my family can have a good meal!”
"Xu Sanguan is not perfect, but he was able to do this. In that era, he was definitely a man."
“There’s not even rice wine or pork liver this time, and we can’t even eat meat in the restaurant!”
"It's hard to imagine life without meat..."
Young readers were shocked by the famine scenes in the article.
Although these younger readers have heard about this era of great famine, they have never understood it in detail in literary works.
If it weren't for the works of old thieves, they would hardly pay much attention to this kind of serious realist literature.
Just this alone makes the meaning different.
bitter!
In that era of backward production technology, there was really no good way to deal with a famine.
But no matter how kind-hearted Xu Sanguan is, he will still have grudges when facing a "someone else's kid" like Xu Yile.
This is also what normal men would think.
But Xu Yile is innocent!
Readers have another bout of angina.
Xu Yile's origin was not determined by himself. He once hoped that as Xu Sanguan's son, he would receive the same fatherly love as usual.
But now that his identity was here, Xu Sanguan's partiality and disregard made Xu Yile have other thoughts in his heart.
Not only did Xu Sanguan dislike him, but his own father He Xiaoyong kicked him out!
Even so, in the end, it was Xu Sanguan who still opened his arms to Xu Yile, a son who was not his own son.
He still has the same cursing mouth.
But in this world, there are too many people who can say good things. Never look at what a man says, but rather what he does.
Faced with the gossip and verbal bullying around him, Xu Sanguan directly pulled Xu Yile away:
"Whoever among you dares to say that Yile is not my biological son, I will fight with him!"
…
"Madeh! Xu Sanguan has done a great job!"
"Don't place your hopes on the old thief. This book is so wonderful. From my personal point of view, I think it is more wonderful than "Alive"."
"It's hard to say which one is higher and which one is lower. It may be because "Alive" has too few words and too many plot twists, so the impression given to readers is often a bit abrupt. I am just an ordinary reader, speaking from one family."
What ordinary readers can see is somewhat superficial to a certain extent.
As a master-level author in the literary world, Zhu Xiahua can see many ideas in this book.
This book does not have the critical tradition promoted by the enlightenment stance of intellectuals, nor does it have the aloof pity spread by aristocratic narratives. It only has the humanitarian feelings and understanding of life and reality derived from the folk.
In the entire novel up to now, there are no sharp conflicts or plot clues. It just uses the daily life of the people as the theme of the novel's plot, and then uses "selling blood" to connect it. The idea is very subtle.
The most fearful thing about a novel with this kind of realistic theme is that there is no single line that runs through the entire novel.
Without the line of selling blood, this novel would have turned into a narrative of "Xu Sanguan's life", and it would have changed from a big tree to falling leaves in an instant, without forming a whole.
…
As Zhu Xiahua expected, the structure of the novel is extremely clear. After many years, Yile returned to the city from the countryside, skinny as a stick and with a sallow complexion, obviously suffering from some disease.
Xu Sanguan is now old, but in order to treat Yile, Xu Sanguan decided to sell blood again!
When they saw this plot, thousands of fans of the old thief clenched their fists for Xu Sanguan!
They were almost certain that Xu Sanguan might be stabbed directly by an old thief during one of his blood sales. However, Xu Sanguan's blood sales made readers unable to stop sighing.
You know, if the old body wants to sell blood again, selling blood will cause huge harm to the body.
And they no longer have the resilience of young people.
But for the sake of happiness, Xu Sanguan still resolutely chose to sell blood!
"Selling blood has almost become Xu Sanguan's only choice when facing difficulties."
Zhu Xiahua murmured.
Whenever Xu Sanguan is desperate, he will choose to sell blood to solve the problem, even if this method is more and more harmful!
【"You come here to sell blood once a month. Don't you want to live? If you don't want to live, just find a place where no one is around and hang yourself from a tree."]
【"Please."】
In the story, Yi Le got hepatitis and was sent to Shanghai. Er Le was also sick and lay at home, asking for money inside and outside. Xu Sanguan really had no choice but to embark on the journey of selling blood again. the way!
…
Paragraphs of text, scenes of plot.
The real picture made thousands of readers in Xiazhou feel bitter when they experienced the story of Xu Sanguan's family.
"Just the money from selling blood..."
"I'm afraid it's not enough."
You know, Yile is going to Shanghai to see a doctor. This is not something that can be done with thirty-five yuan.
But Xu Sanguan, who was desperate, couldn't control that much.
["He was very ill and only the big hospitals in Shanghai could treat him. My family had no money, so I came out to sell blood. I sold it all the way to Shanghai, and when I sold it to Shanghai, I would have enough money for Yile's treatment."]
…
Seeing Xu Sanguan's words, all the readers just whispered "fuck" and sighed one after another.
And one thing everyone can notice is that from Xu Sanguan's youth to his current old age, a long, long time has passed in between, and times are changing.
Xu Sanguan sold blood until he collapsed on the street, shaking into a ball in the middle of the street.
But even after waking up, Xu Sanguan was still concerned about his sons.
According to Xu Sanguan's own words, he has been a man for almost fifty years and has done enough.
But his sons are only in their twenties and still have a great life.
Not to mention Xu Sanguan's tragic experience, the parental love alone makes readers feel a little overwhelmed and completely moved by the father's love in the story.
Xu Sanguan's fatherly love was implicit, forbearing, profound, and great, and he never asked for anything in return.
You can make a comeback when your career fails, you can make new friends when you break up, you can find someone new after your lover breaks up...
Only the love of parents is irreplaceable.
"Old thief, old thief!"
"These two novels of yours are serious, right?"
Many readers of Lao Zei had a wry smile on their faces, not knowing how to describe their current emotions.
Whether it was "Alive" or "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood", they couldn't laugh at all while reading the book!
If "Harry Potter" is just an A-level sword, then "Alive" and "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" are S-level abuse!
If it were just the pure abuse of "Lotus Lamp", readers might still be able to accept it.
However, it is sad in the midst of abuse, and yet it is filled with the reality of the times, making it impossible for readers to tell themselves that it is false.
Xu Sanguan used his story of selling blood to compose a chapter of Xiazhou's historical progress.
The story comes to an end.
"Xu Sanguan must die."
"I said!"
