今年春的一个上午,当我又收到老家一封信件的时候,心里顿时一沉,不由得警觉起来。结婚后,我和妻子谢雨花一直在千里之外的城市打工,一年到头很少回去,尽管分了家,但家里的事基本上还是父母做主。近十年来,我收到不少的信件,但有两个却使我终生难忘。一封是打工当年,村里要我交清全年的农业税款;另一封是七年前乡计生办要我妻子回去进行环孕检。他们把文件先送到父母家里,父亲再用信件的方式转寄给我。文件规定的措辞都异常强硬,像圣旨一样,并且还限定了苛刻的时间和一系列可怕的处罚措施,没有丁点儿价钱可讲的余地。尽管后来再也没有出现这样的事,但这在我心头上、精神上、人格上带来了不小的伤害,是刻骨铭心的。我拿着新收到的挂号信,睁大眼看了看封面,是老家的乡政府寄来的,厚厚的一沓,和前两个父亲转寄的好像没有多大的区别。于是,我的怒火不由得从心里烧到了头顶。不知又是什么鬼把戏!我心里骂了一句,拆也不拆就把它摔在了地上,还狠狠地踩了几下,然后便在一旁抽着闷烟……农业税款已经不用交了,妻子也做了节育手术,自己又没有干过什么违法犯罪的事,是一个堂堂正正的公民,还有什么呢?我的眉头越皱越紧,喷出的烟雾也一口比一口大。难道说是家里出了什么事?但很快就被否定了,因为几天前父亲打来电话,说一切都好。 One morning this spring, when I received another letter from my hometown, my heart suddenly sank, could not help but be alarmed. After getting married, I and my wife, Xie Yuhua, have been working in cities other than thousands of miles and rarely go back all year long. Although they are separated from their families, the things in the family are basically their parents. In the past decade, I have received many letters, but two have kept me forever unforgettable. One is a working year, the village asked me to pay the full year of agricultural tax; the other is the township family planning office seven years ago to go back to my wife’s pregnancy test. They sent the papers to their parents first, and the father sent me the letters again. The wording of the document is unusually tough, as the edict does, and it limits the length of time and a series of dreadful penalties, with no room for price. Although this kind of thing never happened again later, it was an unforgettable moment in my heart, spirit and personality. I took the newly received registered mail, opened my eyes and looked at the cover, is the hometown of the hometown sent, a thick stack, and the first two father sent seems not much difference. Thus, my anger could not help but burn my head from the heart. I do not know what the trick is! My heart scolded one, demolitions do not demolish it fell to the ground, but also fiercely stepped on a few times, and then smoked smoked smoke aside ... ... Agricultural taxes have not paid, Wife also did birth control surgery, and he did not do anything illegal and criminal, is an upright citizen, what else? My brows more wrinkled the more tight, the smoke is also bigger than the smoke. Could it be what happened at home? But soon was denied, because a few days ago my father called and said everything was fine.
