He Yalan wept as she spoke, she said: "Yesterday my mother and I found Hong Feng's home in this special zone, in fact, his home is not far from our factory. Based on the address on his previous letter, when we asked to go to his house, Hong Feng was not at home at that time. In his house was his mother and another beautiful young woman, whose belly was very upright. My first reaction was that she was Hong Feng's wife, otherwise how could someone else's big belly be in his house. Moreover, she naturally sat on the sofa. My heart thumped, and I was in a trance, and my mother held me up. ”

He Yalan said sadly: "When Hong Feng's mother was pouring water for us, she asked us to sit and asked us where we came from. My mother was telling her that my mother was still very good at talking, but she only said: Speaking of which, we are still fellow villagers, you are very good here, you see that your house is so magnificent. Mom said a few polite words and then continued: Your son is my daughter's high school classmate, my daughter came here, I stopped by to see him today, I didn't expect him to be at home again. Excuse me, this is your daughter-in-law, right? Hong Feng's mother also said some kind words, she said: I don't have anything, we are still very ordinary, this is my daughter-in-law, she is a local person, you say the words of our hometown, she doesn't understand very well. ”

He Yalan continued: "At that time, Hong Feng came back, and he was stunned as soon as he entered the door. He never dreamed that we would find his house, and he reluctantly greeted my mother and me, and I sat there ignoring him. He looked embarrassed, and my mom looked straight at him.

Then he looked at me and explained: I still remember what I said before, but after coming here for a long time, it is impossible for our family to go back to our hometown, so later, later, we became a family like this. I think I'm sorry for you, but, but I always thought that I was still ignorant at that time, so, so ...... It's all about me. So I asked him, "Since you don't want me anymore, why don't you say it in your letter?" It's been more than two years, and you've made me wait. You just say in the letter, say that you are married here, and I will not survive day by day like this. I cried as I said it. ”

At this time, He Yalan was really crying, she said while crying: "I said that, and he said: I still wanted to write to you to explain it, but I was afraid that you would be sad and sad, so I couldn't bear to write the letter." I thought, I thought that if I didn't reply to your letter a few times, you would know what I meant, and if you knew what I meant, you would give up on me, that is, you gave up on me, your personal problems, your personal problems, you can think about it separately. In this way, didn't we settle the matter calmly? The more angry I was when he said this, the more I couldn't stop crying. It's in another home again, and I can't cry loudly again. That's what I heard him say: Settle things out calmly. I was even more saddened, he really saw me as a person like him, the same so easy to forget someone. How could I be like him forgetting me, saying that if I forget, I will forget him. When my mother saw me like that, she said to me: Lan'er, since he has said everything to this point, it proves that he is the kind of person who has no conscience, and he is also this kind of hearted person, and you don't need to be nostalgic for the things in the past. There's no need to be sad for such people, let's go. Mom was about to get up and pull me away. At this time, Hong Feng's mother spoke, she said: To be honest, your daughter used to be friends with us Hong Feng, and we didn't even know it, Hong Feng never told us, if we knew it, we must ask for his opinion. Our daughter-in-law was introduced to us by Hong Feng's old man's good friend, and Hong Feng was still very hesitant at that time. I asked him, "Do you think she is not looked down upon, or is her family not a good match for us, or is there something else wrong with her?" However, he was always silent. I was anxious and said: If you want to talk about people, it's still good, you see that people are tall and white, if you want to talk about culture, people read books similar to yours, if you want to talk about family conditions, people are locals, and the factory she opened is larger than our factory, if you are not satisfied, no matter how good and strong it is, it is impossible to have it again. Really the first time I saw someone, he was silent, didn't say anything, and made us very embarrassed. But within a few days, he suddenly said that he wanted to get it, and he wanted to get along with his current daughter-in-law. At that time, our family was so happy, and then we decided to settle this matter. When you see it now, you realize that he used to have a relationship with your daughter. But now, things have become like this, and our daughter-in-law is about to give birth. In the final analysis, it was the two of them who had privately agreed that they had never passed through us adults in their lives, so it caused this. It's not like we're breaking the marriage contract with a bad conscience, because there is no marriage contract in itself, you say. Besides, even if my son is wrong in this regard, it is irreversible today. When He Yalan said this, she slowly suppressed her low sobbing, and she was silent for a while and said: "You see that Hong Feng's mother's mouth is so good at talking, she said everything in order, at that time, that Hong Feng just lowered his head and held his wife's hand, and his wife never said a word. They sat on the couch, and both of them had their hands on his wife's lap. My mother didn't have much to say, I think my mother thought the same way: after all, this is because the matter between me and Hong Feng was not made public before, and only Hong Feng and I knew, this can only be said to be Hong Feng's change of heart, and their parents are not responsible, just like my parents don't know about our affairs. In the end, the mother said: Forget it, forget it, even if the child is ignorant, even if it is a lesson. Lan'er, let's go. And just like that, we got out of there. After He Yalan finished speaking, her face was full of confusion.

Xiaoyu listened to her quietly, he thought for a while and said: "Since it's all like this, you should throw him clean, it was he who changed his mind first, that is to say, he has already forgotten you, and you don't need to put him in your heart, in fact, this is also a good thing, unlike before, you didn't know his situation before, so you think about him every day and miss him, but he has long forgotten you to the clouds." Now that you understand it, you can completely forget about him. He Yalan listened carefully to Xiaoyu, and her face was gradually cheerful. Xiaoyu looked at her and said, "As long as you haven't come that far before, you have nothing to lose, whatever, take your time now, such a big world." He Yalan nodded to show that she fully understood what he meant. She said: "That's it, I'm so uncomfortable all day, I just want to find someone who knows me and talks about it, except for my family, there is no one here who plays well." Although you and I have only met two or three times, you are like a big brother in my heart, I believe in you very much, and I like you very much, you know?" Xiaoyu heard her say this, he just smiled. She said again: "Are you good here? Are you used to it? How is my father treating you, is it okay?" Xiaoyu said: "I'm very good, and I'm used to it, your father is too good to me." You see, I live half a day in a day, and I am free to play in the afternoon. "That's good, I don't think my dad would dare to bully you. He Yalan finally showed a smile.

At this time, I only heard a voice outside: "Who said I didn't dare to bully him." I saw He Qingfeng and his wife walking in from outside at the same time, and Boss He punched Xiaoyu in the shoulder, and both of them were smiling. Boss He first said: "Lan'er, let the past pass, to put it simply: remove the dark clouds and see the sun." From now on, you just live happily, you are still so young, this person's problem is not difficult at all. I'll say it in front of your brother Xiaoyu here, and I won't treat him as an outsider. "This boss He is really open-minded.

He smiled and faced Xiaoyu again: "You kid, what have you done outside, you dare to hide it from me." To be honest, you almost got robbed that time. This really scared Xiaoyu, he thought: He didn't say a word about anyone for a while, how could Boss He know about it. He looked at Boss He with a puzzled face.

Boss He said with a smile: "When you fought with the gangsters that day, a few passers-by saw the whole process clearly from afar, and it has been so long, I have only heard it in the past two days." As soon as I heard about the place, I knew it was you, because there was no one else there in general, and no one was there to do any business. Xiaoyu couldn't help it, so he had to tell Boss He what had happened, and the family of three all looked at him with admiration.

Since then, Xiaoyu has continued to do his light job as usual, and he has never been in danger again. In this way, almost another year passed, that is, the next year of 1990, because the buyer felt that the clothes were a little outdated and sales had declined, so he withdrew from the cooperation with Boss He.

Since then, Boss He simply asked Xiaoyu to be the security guard of the guard room for him. This mix is a full eighteen years in the flick of a finger, and in the spring of 2008, Xiaoyu came to the Jixiang Department Store. Here, he happened to meet his friends Zhu'er and Xiaoxian.
