Chapter 5 Reunion, Nightmare!

He Chuntian is He Xue's father, and he couldn't sleep excitedly knowing that his daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter were already on their way home.

"You old thing, you don't sleep, and you don't let others sleep!"

"Don't sleep, I have to get up, you can sleep alone!" He Chuntian lifted the quilt and began to know that Suo Suo was dressing, and while putting it on, he said to himself, "People are old, they just can't sleep, they are greedy for money and afraid of death, and they are sleepy......"

"Don't chatter, toss blindly, don't sleep and go quickly, don't be annoying here! I don't know how distressed people are, I can't help during the day,......" In order to welcome the daughter's family back for reunion, the old couple prepared enough New Year's goods, although the daughter-in-law can help somewhat, after all, there is a little grandson who is a few years old to bring, if the son is still alive......

Thinking of her son He Lei, Li Guixiang pricked her heart with a needle, and she felt like crying.

Standing in the courtyard, you can faintly see the outline of the mountain not far away, this is almost dawn, He Chuntian is about the time in his heart, and he doesn't know where Xiaoxue is now, the old man is sixty-eight years old, he has never read a book in his life, and he can't play with his mobile phone, at this point, he is not as good as his wife Li Guixiang.

Baihegou is a small village of less than 200 households, located near the mouth of a ditch on the Loess Plateau, originally called "Baihegou", which means that there are just 100 families with the surname He in the village, and the rest are miscellaneous surnames.

And because the soil slope in the ditch is full of lilies from June to September every year, and it is also called Shandan Danhua in the local area, so there is this more poetic name, or a more mismatched name, lily - ditch.

With the development of the economy, more and more young people have gone to the city, and the number of households in the village has decreased year by year, and now it has long been out of character.

Standing on the steps, you can look at the road at the entrance of the village through the courtyard wall, a car with flashing headlights is getting closer and closer, "Old woman, come to ......" Half of the shout, He Chuntian hurriedly covered his mouth.

He has woken up his wife several times at night, and each time the result is a meal, and even complaining and abuse.

This old woman, what's not to worry about, her daughter and son-in-law's family are still on the road, and they can sleep, and they don't know how to worry at all!

As the headlights approached, the old man's mood changed from uncertainty to surprise in an instant, "Old woman, hurry up, this time it's real!

He Chuntian hurried to the courtyard gate.

When she got off the highway, He Xue woke up, and then she couldn't sleep, although she didn't receive a call from her parents along the way, she was still worried that her father might not sleep all night, when Zhao Nan stepped on the brakes, he turned his head and said, "New Year's Day, don't cry when you see Dad!"

However, when He Xue saw her father coming out of the gate for the first time, her tears were still uncontrollable.

The last time I saw my father was at my brother's funeral at the beginning of the year, in less than a year, my father's aging rate was comparable to that of the past ten years, his hair was all white, his body was no longer straight, especially when he opened his mouth and smiled, and his two front teeth were gone.

The younger brother is a fire and armed police officer, who died in a mountain fire at the beginning of the year.

"Auntie, aunt!" a little boy jumped out from behind the old man, looking like he was six or seven years old, jumping up and down in front of his grandfather.

"Dad!" "Liangliang!" He Xue hugged her nephew with one hand, smiled and called Dad, her eyes flashing with a sparkling light.

"Dad, it's cold outside, get in!" Zhao Nan turned off the lights, hurriedly got out of the car, and urged the car, "Xiao Ran, wake up, it's home!"

"Sister, brother-in-law, I can hope you come back. A young woman walked out of the door, it was Zhou Xiao'e, the daughter-in-law of her younger brother He Lei, "Liangliang, help grandpa into the house, and mom help aunt get things!"

"I'm going to get it for my aunt too!" the little guy was a little crazy, and when the aunt's family came back, he looked very excited.

"Okay, Liangliang is really good, I know that I have helped my aunt work, and she is much better than your sister!" He Xue took a bag of sugar from the car and handed it to Liangliang, "Liangliang take this, give it!"

"Hello grandpa!" "Hello aunt!" Zhao Xiaoran finally got out of the car and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"Ran, help your grandfather back to the house, don't freeze! You can sleep again when you enter the house, look at you who are sleepy!" Zhou Xiao'e helped He Xue carry things, and instructed Xiao Ran, "Liangliang, quickly, lead the way for my sister in front!"

He Chuntian smiled from ear to ear, just looking at everything in front of him, his heart was warm, and he wanted to help with things, but he couldn't intervene, "Grandpa, let's go into the house quickly, it's cold!" Zhao Xiaoran didn't take anything, and came directly to hold Grandpa's arm.

"Husband, you can also come into the house and sleep. He Xue snatched the box from Zhao Nan's hand, her husband drove all the way, six or seven hours, it is inevitable that she will feel distressed as a wife, she is grateful to Zhao Nan from the bottom of her heart for her understanding and concessions, a family life, mutual tolerance is the most important, Zhao Nan has been doing a good job in this regard.

"Okay, I'll go to sleep too, I'm sleepy!" Zhao Nan didn't insist, yawned exaggeratedly, followed his father-in-law and Xiao Ran, and also went into the house, leaving He Xue and his brother and daughter-in-law busy.

Lying on the bed, Zhao Nan was still struggling, should he go back, no, he had to go back!

Unable to resist the entanglement in his heart and worries about the development of the epidemic, Zhao Nan finally chose to return to Huangming City, he drove alone, on the highway, this road is so long...... , I can't find the exit, and the weirdest thing is that I can't see a car on the road, and I wanted to call and ask, but the phone is out of battery.

Just when he was at a loss, he was pleasantly surprised to see two acquaintances, walking hand in hand on the highway, Xie Mingyuan and Li Yiping! The strange thing is that Li Yiping seemed to have changed her personality and leaned her head on Xie Mingyuan's shoulder, looking like a little woman.

"Hey, buddy!" Zhao Nan slowed down the car, slowly approached the two of them, and lowered the window, "Mingyuan, Yiping!

What made him angry was that the two of them just turned their heads and smiled, ignoring themselves, and when he was about to pull over and ask what was going on, Xie Mingyuan and Li Yiping disappeared again.

Zhao Nan shook his head and smiled, could it be an illusion, stepped on the accelerator, and continued to accelerate....... After running for a long time, he finally realized that the highway must be closed, otherwise, how could there be no exit, no, this is simply no exit, and there is no street sign.

This road was eerie and terrifying, and the more you ran, the more scary it became, and in the end, Zhao Nan had to abandon the car and flee the highway and walk instead.

After hardships and hardships, he finally returned to the Happy Family Garden Community, but encountered something more terrifying, he couldn't enter the house, there was a seal on the door, his wife He Xue and daughter Xiao Ran, who didn't know how to return to Huangming City, actually arrived home one step ahead of him, and he had been quarantined, and the two of them were infected with an infectious disease whose names were unknown at the same time.

"Xiaoxue, what the hell is going on? tell me!" He could only shout to his wife through the door, no matter how anxious he was, no matter how he asked, his wife kept crying inside, repeating, "Husband, you can't come in, you can't come in......"

Knock ---, sound of something falling in the house, and then heard his wife's shout, "Xiao Ran, wake up, Xiao Ran, my daughter ,......."

"Xiao Ran!" Zhao Nan shouted, sat up in shock, and opened his eyes in an instant, but what he saw was his wife He Xue.

"Dreaming, husband!" He Xue's face was very close, and her tone was full of concern.

"What time is it?" Knowing that it was a dream, Zhao Nan's mood was much calmer, but he could still feel the speed of his heartbeat, which was palpitations.

"Eleven o'clock, get up and eat something, you've eaten it all, and you're left. ”

"Oh, here it goes. After Zhao Nan finished speaking, he lay down directly backwards, he wanted to be quiet and quiet, tidy up the dream just now, it was still clear, as if a wisp of fright was left in it, it was too scary, how could he fall asleep as soon as he hit the pillow.

"You make do with a bite to eat first, and then have a good meal in the evening. He Xue brought the hot steamed buns to the coffee table, a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, a small bowl of stewed meat vermicelli, and half a fish.

"What do you eat at night?" Zhao Nan turned on the TV, asked casually, and then stared at the news scroll bar at the bottom of the screen, where the epidemic information was scrolling.

"What else can I eat, Chinese New Year's Eve and dinner, good wine and food, and the whole family reunion ......"

"Don't you eat dumplings?" Zhao Nan was attracted by the content of the information, and did not listen to what his wife said, a total of 1,287 confirmed cases have been reported nationwide, an increase of more than 400 cases from yesterday, and this speed is faster again.

"You are confused, eat dumplings on the first day of the new year, how can you eat dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve!" The husband's absent-mindedness made He Xue a little angry.

"Why can't you eat dumplings, Xiao Nan loves to eat, then let's make dumplings and eat them in the dark!" Mother Li Guixiang came in from the outhouse, holding a plucked rooster in her hand, "I just wanted to ask you how you like to eat this chicken, this is a province." After the mother finished speaking, she went to the kitchen with the chicken again.

"It's so talkative! I hate it!" He Xue threw a sentence at Zhao Nan, snorted angrily and turned around and went out.

"Sister, are you really angry, brother-in-law eats whatever he likes, let's have evening food, dumplings, and wine, and a big table...... "Brother-in-law Xiao'e obviously heard the conversation between the two of them, and was cleaning up the chickens brought by her mother-in-law.

"Well, I'll do as you say, I'll get the stuffing first. The two sisters and sons were busy working together, talking and laughing, so they didn't feel tired of working like this, "Xiao'e, you are still young, Xiao Lei ......." ”

"Sister, you don't have to say it!" Knowing what my sister wanted to say, Zhou Xiao'e stopped her, "I know, you don't have to persuade me, really, Xiaolei is gone, I still have Liangliang, and my father and mother." ”

"Xiao'e, you may have misunderstood my sister, sister is saying, even if you take a step forward, we are still a family, sister is still your sister, parents are still our parents, their ideological work, I will do it, no one will blame you, you sacrifice your happiness like this, sister is even more uncomfortable!"

Seeing that Xiao'e was silent, He Xue continued, "Don't worry, sister can take your parents to Huang Ming and live with us, sister is for your good, in fact, sister...."

However, what shocked He Xue was the words of her brother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
