In Search of a Lover's Daughter (Family Ethics, Novella) Zhang Baotong 2017.2.21

After sitting at Arara's house for a while, I was ready to leave. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 When I was leaving, I took out 300 yuan and gave it to Youliang. Originally, I prepared 1,000 yuan to give to Yingmei, but Yingmei was gone, so I had to take out the money to Youliang. At first, Youliang was embarrassed to ask for it, but when he saw that I insisted on giving it to him, he accepted it.

Left the good house. Xiang Lin said to me, "Youliang's family is too poor to even pay the electricity bill, so the village electrician turned off his family's electric switch." And his leg, at first it was not a big problem, the doctor said that he could spend 2,000 yuan to see it, but he didn't have money, so he didn't go to see it, and as a result, the illness became more and more serious, and finally he was lame. ”

I asked Xiang Lin, "Yingmei's family is poor, why do you have to have so many children?"

Xiang Lin said, "In rural areas, there must be boys, and if there is no boy in the house, no one will inherit the property." Yingmei just wanted a boy, so she gave birth to three girls in a row, and in the end she still didn't give birth to a boy. ”

I said, "Yingmei is so strong and beautiful, how can you find a man like Yura? ”

Xiang Lin thought about it and said, "She can't help it. When she married Youliang, she was already pregnant, and she heard that the fetus in her womb had been in her womb for several months, and the doctor said that there was no way to have a baby. You think Yingmei is pregnant with someone else's child, who would want her, so, seeing that her belly is getting bigger and bigger, the family is afraid of losing face, so they give her to Youliang, and they don't ask for a penny of bride price. ”

When I heard this, I was shocked, and I asked, "Yingmei, whose child is she pregnant?"

Xiang Lin shook his head and said, "I can't figure it out, she has never told others about it herself, and she doesn't even know about Youliang." ”

Originally, I wanted to stay here for three or four days and walk around, but when Yingmei was gone, I didn't think it was interesting to stay here any longer. The next morning, after breakfast, I put on my backpack and was about to leave here, when Xiang Lin said to me, "Before you leave, I'll take you somewhere." ”

I asked him, "What is it?" because I have been from the commune tea field to the production team for at least half a year, and I have almost walked all the mountains and rivers here, and I have not found any new scenery here. However, Xiang Lin said to me, "When you get to the place, you will know." ”

I grabbed my backpack and followed him. He led me down a path behind the house towards Chaling Mountain. In the month of the new year, the weather is cold, there is no wind in the early morning, the path up the mountain seems to be paved with a thin layer of hoarfrost, and the wild grass and wild trees on the side of the road seem to be frozen, quiet and quiet, motionless.

When I came to a forest, I saw a graveyard, which was overgrown with half-human tall artemisia grass, and some thorns and wild trees. Apparently it's been a long time since anyone has been here. Xiang Lin took me to a grave, picked up a handful of wild grass and wiped it on the stone tablet, on which the words "Xu Yingmei's Tomb" were revealed. Then, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head three times, and said to the grave, "Xu Yingmei, don't you want to see Liu Jiancheng, I brought him to you." ”

Hearing this, I suddenly knelt on the ground and cried loudly, not only for Yingmei, but also for myself. People say that I am young and promising, but who knows that I will live a harder life than anyone else. My wife and I have been married for many years, and we have lost love for a long time. I pinned the only love in my heart on my former lover, but she was so short-lived.

Xiang Lin waited for me to wipe away my tears, and then said to me, "Yingmei called me to her side before she died, and she said that she can't see you, and she won't die blindly, because she has always loved you in her heart." I nodded, thinking to myself that if she were still alive, I would give up everything to take her away. However, it was too late.

Then, Xiang Lin said, "Yingmei has another thing for me to tell you, her eldest daughter Huihui is your daughter." She hadn't said that to anyone. Although Arirashi knew that the child belonged to someone else, he did not know whose it was. Yingmei said he had guessed that the kid was yours. But Yingmei told him that it was not at all. ”

Hearing this, I felt a bolt from the blue, I also have a daughter? Is this possible? However, I know that Yingmei will not lie to me. So, I asked Xiang Lin, "Why didn't she tell me about her pregnancy in the first place?" If I knew that she was pregnant, I would find a way to take her to get rid of the fetus." "Because we were only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time, and we were still not very sensible children.

Xiang Lin said, "She didn't understand it at the time, but when she knew, the fetus was already big and there was nothing she could do." ”

It was a simple and closed era, and people only knew how to live according to the rules, and they didn't know how to prevent some things that were out of line, and they didn't know how to deal with them. This is the sorrow of the times, and it is also the sorrow of our generation. It dawned on me that I hadn't seen Yura at all, but as soon as he saw me, he called out my name. He must have suspected that the father of the fetus was me. Because many people knew that I was going to Yingmei's radio studio every night. Thinking of this, I began to cry again, and I knew that I had harmed her. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have suffered so much humiliation and suffering that led to her untimely death. I hated myself, I hated myself for letting Yingmei swallow the bitter fruit I planted, I hated myself for not coming here for so many years, if I had come here earlier, I wouldn't have the result I have today.

Xiang Lin said to me again, "Although Yingmei is married to Youliang, she doesn't love Youliang. Especially Youliang, who is very small-minded, thinks that Huihui is not his own, can't tolerate Huihui, refuses to spend money for her, and beats and scolds her at every turn, and scolds her for being a mongrel. But Yingmei loves Huihui the most, because Huihui looks like her the most. For this reason, the two quarreled over Huihui all day long. The reason why Yingmei got tuberculosis is because she is always angry and in a bad mood. ”

Leaving Yingmei's cemetery, Xiang Lin took me to the Luojiang Bridge, where there was a shuttle bus to the county seat. The sun shone brightly on the mountains, and there were no people in the mountains, only the sound of the two of us could be heard in the footsteps. When I went down from the tea mountain to the side of the road, I asked Xiang Lin, "Where does Huihui work?" because I had an impulse in my heart to help her and let her regain her father's love.

Xiang Lin said, "She went to Xi'an to look for you, but she didn't find you, and then she went to Wuhan with a person from another village." But I don't know where it is, because because their father and daughter are not at odds, and Huihui has not been home for three or four years, and she has not contacted her family. Otherwise, let me go to the outer village and ask the man about it, and I'll call you as soon as I have any news. ”

I said, "Otherwise, you can take me to the man right now." "Because I want to know where Huihui is right now.

Xiang Lin thought for a while and said, "It's okay, but you can't tell your relationship with Huihui, because this kind of thing is very sensitive." ”

I said, "That's nature." "And I don't want to get myself in trouble.

Xiang Lin took me to Shuimo Village, which used to be the Dongfeng No. 5 team, and now it is called the Chaling No. 5 team. When I entered the village, people kept greeting Xiang Lin and asking about me. Xiang Lin told them that I was the original educated youth. Walking in the village, I passed by a small shop, where I bought two boxes of white sand cigarettes and a pack of dim sum as a welcome gift when I entered the house. Because then things will be easier.

When I came to the door of the three-story luxury building on the first floor, Xiang Lin said to me, "This is what I am looking for, and Huihui was brought to work by his family." ”

I said, "It's so generous, and the family is quite rich." ”

Xiang Lin smiled meaningfully and said, "He has a lot of skills, it seems that he is selling to others in a factory in Wuhan, and he makes a lot of money." ”

Before we even entered the door, a big wolfdog stared at us, which startled me. Xiang Lin said, "Don't be afraid, the dog is on a leash." "That's when I was relieved.

Xiang Lin shouted loudly in front of the building, "Spring Festival couplets, are you in the house?"

A young man in his thirties, dressed in a new suit and with his hair combed, came out of the house, looked at us, and beckoned us in. When I entered the house, I saw that this family was not only magnificently repaired, but also very high-end in the house, which was really much more luxurious than my home as a deputy director.

I originally bought two boxes of white sand cigarettes and a pack of dim sum, but when I saw that people were taking out hibiscus cigarettes, all kinds of fruits and high-end sweets on the coffee table, I didn't dare to take them out.

Because considering that I had to catch the car, Xiang Lin didn't have to go around the bend, got straight to the point, went straight to the point, and asked the Spring Festival couplet, "Where are your cousins?" ”

Chun Lian was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter in Wuhan?"

Xiang Lin said, "I don't have anything to do, I just want to inquire about the place where Youliang's eldest daughter Huihui is." ”

When the Spring Festival couplets heard this, they immediately shook their heads and said, "Then I don't know." ”

Xiang Lin said, "Thank you, give a call to the guest and ask." ”

The Spring Festival couplets said, "Huihui has long been out of being with my cousins. I'm afraid she doesn't know. ”

Xiang Lin thought about it for a while, and then said, "Then you call the cousin and ask." ”

The couplets said, "It's useless to ask." She didn't know. ”

Xiang Lin looked at me and said, "No way. So saying, he got up and took me away.
