This is a story about the intersection of the modern idea of a three-person small family and the idea of a multi-person extended family that flourished decades ago.
My name is Xu Shi, a college student in my early twenties, born in the middle of the 35 years since the one-child policy was implemented.
I don't have any brothers or sisters, but I have met other people's brothers and sisters.
My mother got married late and was the youngest in her natal family. In my grandfather's time, contraception was unheard of and people had to have children. So my mother's natal family had nine children.
I have had two confusions since I was a child. One is why is my aunt so nice to me and my mother? Second, why is my aunt so nice to my uncles?
Now another one is added: In that era when boys were generally favored over girls, why did my aunt, the fifth eldest child, as a woman, neither eldest nor a boy, actually become the mainstay of their old Liu family?
Just write about family and family life, the main line is life, there is no outline, just write casually, and write wherever "Xu Shi" lives. The author has no knowledge and culture and just likes gossip. Readers and friends can read it if they like it. If they don't like it, they can leave it. Don't be angry or have trouble with your body.
I only have one request: "Aunt", "Mom" and "Xu Shi" are my biological children. They can be criticized but not insulted. This is the bottom line. The rest of the characters don't matter.
Of course, if you spend money for her, "Xu Shi" can also scold you :)
Concept: Everyone has a different definition of family. The environment in which they grow up determines their thoughts. Good intentions are never right or wrong.
