Chapter 25: A New Day (1)
Just talking about her own troubles, she forgot to ask her sister-in-law about her current situation, and when she heard that Su Feng was going to take Er Meng away, Su Hua remembered that Su Feng hadn't sent a letter to her family for more than half a year, and she came back so suddenly, and she didn't mean to stay for a long time, so she couldn't help but worry again.
Hearing the eldest sister's question, Su Feng patiently told the eldest sister that she and Baojun now wanted to organize their own loading and unloading team.
Su Hua was surprised by her sister's words, and when she heard Su Feng confidently talking about her future plans, she was both extremely envious and worried
"Feng girl, our family has been farmers for generations, and no generation has ever been a trader or an official, you and Baojun don't understand what you want to do now, but I'm afraid that if it's not as good as you think, you won't be able to get a job?
"Sister, even if I am willing to go back to the countryside, but Baojun may not be willing, and he has been working outside for more than 10 years, and he has saved a little connection, let's try it!" Su Hua knew that she couldn't convince her, but she still didn't agree
"Then wait for your brother-in-law's side to finish tomorrow, and then you can discuss it with her!", hearing his mother's objection, Er Meng jumped his feet in a hurry next to him, he grew so big and went out of the farthest door to go to the county, or to send Sisi to high school, usually counted by his father, and also thought that he who could not read well might only be able to be accompanied by the black soil for the rest of his life, if he was lucky, like his father, he would be a village official, and then he could only marry a daughter-in-law and live this life.
Listening to his aunt's words, he was suddenly full of expectation and hope, the outside world is so big, he doesn't know what it is, but it must be fresher than this village that can be seen at a glance, he secretly poked and pulled his aunt's sleeve, full of eyes
"Little Star" looked at the aunt, hoping that the aunt would fight for herself again, Su Feng understood, but no longer made a sound, just pressed his nephew's hand with a smile...... At night, lying on the kang, the feeling of hard bang that has been lost for a long time is extremely kind, compared to the wire bed that will shake when you turn over, the hot kang really warms Su Feng's heart, she thinks about the words of the eldest sister, the eldest sister only cares about Su Feng's next plan, but forgets to ask herself, how did she spend the past half a year?
What is the relationship with Baojun now? I feel a little lost, in the past six months, robbery, run, almost homeless, all kinds of things she wants to tell her family, she thinks, after listening to her words, the eldest sister will touch her head and say a word
"It's all gone, it's good to be back!", but when you think about it, do the past things matter, maybe the memories and experiences that are extremely important to yourself are just stories that you don't empathize with in the eyes of others, and people often care more about the results...... Drowsiness hit, she pondered that she would go to see someone after the funeral for Aunt Wang tomorrow, and in a daze, a cold little hand reached into her quilt, touched her waist, and a soft voice came from her ears
"Auntie, have you slept?"
"Well, it's right away, Qi'er, why haven't you slept yet?" It turned out to be her little niece, Qi'er was still like when she was a child, she was always willing to put Xiaoliang's hand on her waist before going to bed,
"Auntie, is Harbin big?"
"Big!"
"Then are you afraid of being alone outside, I myself am afraid when I go to the brigade at night to find my dad to come back for dinner",
"Don't be afraid, my aunt is bold"
"Is it fun to have fun in that city? Are they all fashionable people, I see that the clothes on your body are not made by yourself, they are very good-looking, auntie, I see that you also wear a pair of leather shoes, which are all hairy!"
"Little clever ghost, you saw it again, hehe, because there is no way to make clothes and shoes by yourself outside, so Auntie can only buy and wear, this time Auntie is in a hurry to come back, wait for the next time Auntie comes back, buy a dress for you and Sisi. When Qi'er heard her aunt's words, she hugged her aunt tightly with both hands
"Good aunt, I don't want anything, I'm glad you can come back to see me. ”
"Well, go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow!" the conversation between the two ended with uncontrollable sleepiness...... Su Feng got up in the morning, and saw that the eldest sister's quilt was empty, and expected that the eldest sister must have gone to find her brother-in-law just after dawn, she woke up the three children, boiled a pot of millet porridge, and simply ate it with peach crisp, and also rushed with the three of them.
"Brother, I see that my father has never been able to make up his mind, it's almost time, what the hell are you thinking!", the boss of the Wang family said sadly
"Can I not want our mother to enter the ancestral grave? But, here, where does our mother occupy a place? How can there be a place for my mother!", Wang Zhongliang was a little angry
"Brother, as the old saying goes, a biological mother is not as big as a mother, if these uncles and uncles talk about this, can you know that our mother is not our mother?", the boss sighed, and Wang Zhongliang said angrily
"If you don't pull it down, I'll go and talk to our father", after saying that, he staggered up and walked towards the house, the eldest saw his brother's actions, and quickly followed, in the house, the smoke was filled, and the old man smoked a bag of cigarettes again and again, choking people couldn't open their eyes.
"Dad, I know that our family talks about the rules, but my mother has been with you for decades, and she treats us as her own, in the eyes of me and my eldest brother, she is our own mother, I can't bear and can't accept burying my mother outside the ancestral grave, I have no name before I die, and I can't have a name after death", Uncle Wang heard his son's words, he couldn't help but cheer up, and immediately felt a lot more energetic, he discussed with several clan uncles on the kang again,
"My mother has been with me for so many years, when there was a famine, the child she gave birth to was hungry, she didn't suffer these two children, for the second child to read and write, almost for a college student, she has a merit to this family!", everyone looked at each other, embarrassed, Wang Zhongliang saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and immediately proposed to everyone that he had thought about the solution last night
"Dad, why don't you look at this, build a step in the tomb, and then leave the upper position for you after a hundred years, the lower position, put my mother on the left, and put my mother on the right, so that you can be buried in the ancestral grave in the future, and do not mess up the rules and positions", everyone muttered a few times when they heard this, and the eldest brother of Uncle Wang's family nodded slightly to show his agreement, and everyone saw that some people agreed, and they also echoed it, and rushed to the sun to rise, and the suona sound of the Wang family's funeral procession also sounded...... At noon, everyone came back, Wang Zhongliang fell on the kang like a pile of soft mud, Dazhi also sat on the kang and rubbed his knees with his teeth bared, Su Feng picked up the child's cotton pants in distress, only to find that the 2 knees were already red, swollen and purple, and immediately threw 2 towels with boiling water and put them on the nephew, she went to the kitchen to find the eldest sister who was cooking
"Sister, I still have something to do, I don't have to eat at home, and my brother-in-law's leg is probably not better, you ask Qi'er to get it for her father", Su Hua responded
"Okay, where are you going?"
"I'll ride a bicycle from the yard to Xitun and try to come back before dark," Er Meng volunteered
"Auntie, you are not familiar with the road, besides, there are cemeteries on both sides of the road, you must be afraid alone, I will ride a camel and you go", Su Feng wanted to refuse, but Su Hua also persuaded
"Let Er Meng follow, I'll rest assured", the two of them set off before they had time to eat. Xitun is not as good as Hougang Village, a total of more than 100 households, crooked earthen houses, mixed with crumbling grass houses, looking around, I can't see a brick house, in the winter afternoon, most of the people in the village are at home, there is no figure on the road, after walking for a long time, finally came out alone to feed the dog in the yard, Su Feng immediately stepped forward and shouted across the door
"Eldest sister, do you know that there is a family surnamed Bao in this village?"
"Are you talking about the Baojiu Mengzi family?" Su Feng thought about it and immediately responded
"Yes, yes",
"Who are you from her family?" the eldest sister inquired in a good letter, and Su Feng replied shyly
"I'm the daughter-in-law of her family's Baojun!", the eldest sister looked at Su Feng in surprise and muttered in a low voice
"The daughter-in-law of the boss of the Bao family?hehe, fresh, why has she changed her appearance?" According to the path pointed out by the kind-hearted eldest sister, Su Feng and Er Meng quickly found a grass house on the side of the road at a corner, Su Feng saw that there were no dogs in the courtyard, so he dared to push the door in, and before entering the house, a teenage girl pushed the door out,
"Auntie, who are you looking for?", Su Feng immediately replied
"I'm looking for Uncle Bao, it's Baojun's father",
"Oh, you're looking for my grandfather, he went to the front yard to drink, I'll call you back", Su Feng couldn't help but be polite, the child had already run out, and the second looked at the house,
"Auntie, this is my sister-in-law's home, this is too broken, doesn't it mean that my sister-in-law is rich?"
"Children's families, don't talk about adults" Su Feng didn't let Er Meng talk nonsense, and immediately stopped her, she also had many doubts, from the way the kind eldest sister looked at her, to this dilapidated house, she was full of questions.
The two of them rubbed their hands together in the courtyard, but fortunately, in less than 3 minutes, the little girl brought back an old man with a crutch and a red face.
"Master, it's this aunt looking for you", the old man looked at Su Feng drunkenly, and didn't mean to let her into the house
"Girl, who are you, what are you looking for me!", Su Feng was uncomfortable and replied politely
"Uncle, I am Baojun's daughter-in-law, I came to see you!",
"You are my father's daughter-in-law?!" the little girl suddenly shouted in surprise——, old man heard Su Feng and the little girl's words, and the wine immediately woke up most of the time, rubbed his face with his withered hands, and stammered
"Enter the house, child, enter the house and say", Su Feng was like five thunderbolts at the moment, if it weren't for Er Meng beside him, it is estimated that he would have sat on the ground, she pressed her shocked heart and followed into the house, she wanted to figure out, what was going on, who was this child?
Did Baojun lie to her?
