This is the story of a girl named Dandan.

The first time I met her was during the May Day holiday in 214. She came to Shanghai to visit her aunt's house with her husband and her daughter who just turned three months old. At noon that day, the sun was shining gently on the earth. I stood lazily on the balcony on the second floor, watching more than twenty people in the small yard. These men and women, like me, are migrants, all from afar, fleeing their hometown to come to this bustling big Shanghai for a living. The house we rented was an old house located in a suburb of Shanghai, outside a town industrial park, surrounded by farmland, communities, schools and streets. The house was very big. It's probably a two-story and two-story conjoined house in the 198s and 199s. There are more than 1 wing rooms around it, which are full of people from all corners of the country. There are nearly 2 large and small rooms, leaving two landlords to live by themselves, and all the others are rented out. The houses are simple and the furniture is simple, and the rental price ranges from 18 to 3 yuan. Because they are cheap, they are very popular with people with poor economic conditions.
After the holiday, there were many people in the yard, which was very lively. They left in front of their rented houses, and some fellow villagers or relatives dropped in. There were quarrels about cooking and laundry, and children shouted. It was noisy, but it felt a little warm.
"Aunt, are you at home?" A female voice came from downstairs. I looked for the sound and saw a young girl dressed in fashion with a baby in her arms. There was a tall young man standing beside her. When they saw me, they smiled. It was a kind smile, the kind that I felt very warm after seeing it. Few people laughed like this when I was wandering outside.
"Ah, it's Miss Sister!" I heard the little girl standing next to me make a noise. She waved to the two people downstairs and called to her room, "Mom, I'll bring my little sister up!" "
"smiles send us light, we have another guest in your house!" I looked at the little girl and asked.
"Well, my little sister is in Kunshan now. She came to play today, and my dad picked her up. Oh, I haven't seen my dad! Dad, where are you? " The little girl put her head out of the balcony again to find her father, but she didn't find it, so she ran downstairs.
My little girl's family of four lives next to me. Her parents and younger brother are from Hubei. I call her mother Xu Jie and her father Dong Ge. My little girl is 14 years old and goes to junior high school here. My younger brother was born last year. After Xu Jie gave birth, she looks after her son at home and does Taobao. Dong Ge is a sports car driver. They have been here for more than 2 years. We are fellow villagers and have lived together for two years. We are very familiar with each other.
Sister Xu also came out with her son in her arms and said with a smile, "Lulu's sister, little sister of smiles send us light, is free to come and play this holiday. "
Lulu, I remember, that is, the girl who came here to work after planting seedlings in my hometown not long after I lived here. She is only 24 years old and has a son over 3 years old, but she doesn't look like a married person at all. She is very young and energetic. After she came, she squeezed into the one-meter-wide bed of Xiaoya, helping her aunt and looking for work everywhere.
Half a month later, Lulu entered the factory where she used to work. She is the eldest daughter of Dong Ge's elder sister. At the age of 12, she came to Shanghai with Dong Ge to help her uncle take care of her children. After taking her to Xiao Ya to go to school, she stayed to work in a small factory. After a few years, she went back to blind date and married her husband in a neighboring village. Although she was born in the countryside, her husband's family was considered a first-class wealthy family, with very powerful parents. Her father-in-law was flexible in taking on construction work in other places and organized a certain number of people.
A younger sister got married early, and this is Dandan, saying that she married love.
Lulu's husband is tall, handsome and uneducated, but he is very hard-working, as long as he does all the hard work to make money.
Lulu left her son at home to take care of her mother-in-law, and went out to work by herself. They wanted to buy a big house with shops in the town, which is expected to be more than 6, yuan. Therefore, the whole family struggled for this goal, found a good job, and lived in an apartment arranged by the company. Later, there was nothing to do on the construction site, and her husband also came to work as a short-term worker, working in a factory with high salary and fatigue, or doing temporary work. When there was work on the construction site or harvesting at home, he rushed to it. However, she cooks by herself or with her husband, does not eat at her uncle's house, and buys many dishes to take to her uncle for dinner every weekend or holiday. She is a very independent and confident woman.
"Aunt, my brother is half a year old!" Dandan wants to hug Xu Jie's son. I see that they are all happy smiling faces, and they look so beautiful in the sunshine in May.
Dandan is taller, thinner and whiter than Lulu, with long hair waist-length, light makeup on her face, thrush, lipstick and nail polish, and high heels on her feet. The whole dress is very fashionable, youthful and beautiful, but it makes people feel that she is a little sad, unhappy and unable to see happiness. Although Lulu often wears a ponytail without makeup, she keeps herself clean.
"Xiaofeng, why did you bring so many things when you came to play? My aunt has everything. Don't spend money next time." Xu Jie said to the man next to Danny, I looked at this tall and burly man, holding the child in one hand and carrying several packages in the other. Although he was smiling, the fatigue between his eyes could not be hidden. He looked at the child in his arms and was full of love. Like Lulu's husband, he was tall and handsome, with the smell of farmers, his hands were ground very rough and yellow, and he spoke boldly and loudly. "Xu Jie smiled at me, I'm a little embarrassed. Then they talked about Mandarin with a strong local color. Compared with Lulu's husband, they are all from Xiangfan, and they all say their local accent.
"Let's all go into the room. Lulu and Cao Xing have gone shopping. They will come later." Xu Jie called them into the house, and Xu Jie came out and asked me to play, too. I didn't go, so I didn't want to disturb their gathering. There were laughter and laughter from time to time in the room, and occasionally two dolls cried.
Not long after, Dong Ge came back with a case of beer, and Lulu and her husband came back with food.
"Show menstruation, little doll! "Lulu left a pile of vegetables at my feet and ran to see which child. Her husband looked at me apologetically. I quickly said," Nothing, things are handled here. Your aunt usually washes vegetables and clothes in this balcony corridor. "He put down his things, and quickly packed them up, washed the fish in the pool and put the salt away, then washed the shrimp, chicken and other dishes, and skillfully handled them. I watched and imagined how happy Lulu was.
When he was all done, he went to ask Lulu to come out and cook. Lulu fried a few dishes and ran into the house to play. He was cooking the rest. Several bowls of dishes were listed on Sister Xu's small table, which was full, and my stool was borrowed. Finally, I saw a group of them happily eating vegetables around the table, and heard several female voices and several male voices. Lulu's husband rarely made any noise when he entered, most of them were Dandan's husband.
After dinner, Cao Xing was busy packing up the dishes and chopsticks and went back to their rented house to rest. I heard that he arrived this morning after catching a slow train for nearly twenty hours. As soon as he arrived, he went shopping with Lulu. Lulu stayed to play, and Xiaofeng came out and stood on the other side of the balcony, watching the crowd downstairs.
"which one is also from Shaanxi, your hometown. "I pointed to a downstairs. In front of that house, a woman in red shoes and green clothes looked down at her daughter's homework. Through the open door, a man was lying on the bed, his feet on the table and watching TV.
"Shaanxi people, everywhere! "He didn't want to talk to me. I felt that he hated me. I didn't say anything. I left and went back to my room. I went back to my room and smelled a smoke. I saw him smoking through the window, which seemed very comfortable.

The next afternoon, the man named Xiaofeng went to Kunshan and said that he would go to work. Dandan stayed and said that he would stay for a few days. Lulu went downtown and came back with an iphone in her hand, which was a supplementary birthday present from her husband.
In the following days, in my spare time, everyone gathered on the balcony to enjoy the sun, dolls and small talk. A conversation between the two sisters attracted me.
"Is Dawa okay at home? "Lulu asked.
"I stopped answering the phone after the Chinese New Year. I don't know what her grandmother taught me. Last year, she said I wasn't her mother. Hey! It's been three years, and the baby has been lost for too long, and she has lost her feelings. This time, she gave birth to a baby girl. My mother-in-law was not happy when she heard that it was a baby girl. When the first child saw that it was a baby girl, she wore a bitter gourd face as a whole. I didn't care when I was confined, and I suffered a lot. This time, I was born outside, and I didn't see any complaints and worries. Hey! "Danny holding the second daughter, full of sorrow, feel so bitter!
"It's all because you want to live and die. It's hard for us to marry in such a remote place. No matter how many people try to persuade us!" Lulu doesn't seem to have the heart to say it again.
"It's all my fault, ok!" Whoops, Danny seems to have been poked at a sad place and began to cry.
"What's there to cry about? I told you not to go. You have to go, so regret it!" Brother Dong is angry, too.
"well, stop talking, you will get better gradually in the future, just have a son!" " Xu Jie is somewhat helpless.
Slowly, I also started chatting with Dandan and started hugging her little daughter, who is very cute, just like her, and a little beauty.

It turns out that Dandan also dropped out of school very early and went out to work with his relatives. When he was working in Suzhou, he met his current husband. At that time, a teenage girl had a princess complex and romantic feelings, and liked to watch beautiful love novels and TV. In that monotonous and boring assembly line life, this simple and simple Dandan was attracted by a young man with a little romantic worries, the tall and handsome northwest. The man named Feng, who knows how to please girls so well, lost his heart. Every morning, Feng sends a message to Dandan to prepare for love. Every morning, after work, he will accompany Dandan to go shopping, go to the movies, be generous, send roses, send exquisite gifts, and say a lot of sentimental words, all of which show the charm of men. Dandan feels the beauty of love, is confused and indulged in the love network of Feng, and cannot extricate himself.
They talked for a year, and the simple Dandan thought that she had found her own Prince Charming, the one who was destined to be. When Feng proposed, Dandan felt that happiness had fallen on her, and she agreed without hesitation, feeling that she was lucky and happy, because she didn't think she was married like her sister. She was free to fall in love, they loved each other, and she was a lucky girl. She was lucky to marry the love she wanted.
After Dandan promised Feng, they lived together. They felt very happy and lived a sweet life like husband and wife. After learning that Dandan was pregnant, Feng proposed to take Dandan back to Shaanxi to get married. Dandan had to tell his family that her parents and relatives were very angry and tried their best to oppose it because they didn't want their daughter to get married far away. It is still in the remote north, which is still very poor. It is said that many people can't get married and spend money to buy women from other places. People there are backward in thinking and extremely patriarchal. As in feudal times, mother-in-law is in charge of the family's power. It is natural for parents to ask about it in many ways. I don't want my daughter to really go to that place to suffer. I advised Dandan to abort the child. She is still young, 18 years old, and still has a good life. But Dandan will defend her little life to the death. As a result of her love, she was locked up, so she went on a hunger strike or self-mutilation, and took many extreme threats to marry. Dandan and her parents, who gave birth to her and raised her, turned their backs on each other, turned against all the people who came to persuade her, and all the people regretted the stubbornness of the girl who was confused by love. The parents touched tears and only blamed themselves for not having a good discipline. There was no way, so they had to agree to Dandan's marriage and silently wished their daughter happiness.
Dandan took her parents' dowry of 5, yuan to a small village in a ravine in remote Shaanxi. Her mother's family was full of pain and didn't receive any gift money or other things from her relatives in Shaanxi like the local custom, so her daughter was given away for nothing, and the Feng family was of course extremely happy. Her son found a beautiful girl without spending a penny, even the doll was pregnant, and she also brought dowry money. How worthy of her mother-in-law's shining face. Her mother-in-law smiled noncommittally at the banquet, which made her relatives envious. Many people rushed to learn from this family who got a wife without spending money.
Dan Dan thought that after she married, her husband's family would love herself as much as her husband, and she would be loved by her in-laws as her sister did after she got married, and let herself go everywhere, but everything was not the case. When her mother-in-law saw her husband's obedience, she scolded her son for forgetting his daughter-in-law, which was well known to passers-by. She also made a secret discovery and taught her husband how to govern and discipline her. At first, her husband didn't listen very much, but her mother-in-law's abusive words were endless every day. Mother-in-law often asks her for money, which costs money. Mother-in-law's money is reserved for her eldest son and her second son to get married, but it costs a lot of money. The eldest son is Danny's husband's eldest brother. When they were in love, Danny never asked and didn't know. It was not until he came to Shaanxi that he was a little blindsided. The three sons, the eldest brother is 28 years old, the second brother is 24 years old, and the wind is 22 years old, and his family is penniless. During the Chinese New Year, each of the three sons took out 2, yuan to build a new house, and his in-laws were worried about the marriage of the three sons. So Danny got rid of one as soon as he came, and he was so happy that he even laughed in his dreams. The three sons have been working outside the home for many years, and they haven't sent any money to their families or modified their houses. Their mother-in-law and father-in-law farm at home and grow fruits to make a living, and they save about 8 yuan a year.
Dandan is pregnant, so it is not convenient to go out to work. Her husband has to stay to take care of her. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law have to be busy with the bookmaker and fruit management, so they have to stay at home and take care of building a house. Three brothers * * * took out 6, yuan, and Dandan's husband took care of her while looking for someone to build a house. As time goes by, the new house is ready, with 4 bungalows with one big room each, which is simple.
Dandan was relieved. Her family knew what to think about her current situation. Finally, she didn't have to live in a hot and humid earthen house. After moving into a new house, a new member appeared. It was a little princess. Dandan was full of joy, but everyone except her was unhappy. She didn't know why, because she was confined to her confinement and wanted to eat porridge, her mother-in-law insisted on giving her batter, and she also shouted that she would like to eat it or not.
