Chapter 303: The Pain That Can't Be Forgotten (Part I)
"Xinping, are you finally willing to come out of the house?"
The second aunt couldn't help but reprimand He Xinping when she saw He Xinping coming out of the house with a dirty face.
"Hey, hey. He Xinping just smirked and didn't speak.
"I'm hungry, I'll get you something to eat. The second aunt shook her head, this is not the first time, she has said it many times, but it has no effect, but she can't help but say it.
"Thank you, second aunt, what about my second uncle?" He Xinping asked casually.
"He went to work. The second aunt said as she entered the kitchen.
"Go to work?" He Xinping was a little puzzled, what kind of work does a rural person do, and there is no factory nearby.
"The government wants to build this road and recruit labor in the surrounding villages, and your second uncle is idle at home, and he can earn some extra money by going to work. The second aunt explained in the kitchen.
"Where did Xiaohui go?" He Xinping continued.
"He, he was called out by Xiaoliang after lunch, and he probably ran away again. The second aunt replied.
"It should be about to start school, has he finished his summer homework?" He Xinping took some water from his tooth cup and prepared to brush his teeth, although it was already noon.
"I don't know, when he comes back, you can check it for me, if that kid has half the hard work of you, I won't have to worry about it." The second aunt complained in the kitchen.
"When I'm older, I'll be sensible, and I wasn't like that when I was a kid. He Xinping rinsed his mouth and said.
"When you were as old as him, you already helped your sister-in-law work, how could you be as wild as him. The second aunt came out of the kitchen with a bowl of hot noodles and two fried eggs on top, she knew that He Xinping didn't like to eat boiled eggs.
"When the toothbrush is ready, come over and eat noodles, wait for me to turn on the water heater, and then go take a shower and turn myself upside down." The second aunt chattered.
"Thank you, second aunt. He Xinping, who had washed his face, picked up the noodles and felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
His favorite thing to eat is his mother's boiled egg noodles, but that year of the earthquake, his father and his mother did not escape, no one was gone, no home was gone, he was still in high school that year, and the whole person almost collapsed.
Fortunately, at this time, the second uncle and second aunt took him in, and their son, a cousin who was one year younger than him, also died in the earthquake.
He Xinping was about to take the noodles to wash after eating, and the second aunt sitting outside the door stood up and took them, "I'll do these things, you are busy with your go, but pay attention to your body and don't stay up late." ”
He Xinping's image at this time was not very good, his eyes were blue, his eye bags were swollen, and his complexion was pale, giving people a very weak feeling.
"No, second aunt, I'm not going to do it. He Xinping rubbed his head, which was still groggy.
"That's good?" the second aunt was puzzled at first, and then overjoyed.
"If you don't do it, if you don't do it, I'll ask your second uncle to ask someone to find you a job in the county, after all, you are a college student, you can't stay in the village to plow the land." The second aunt began to nag.
But He Xinping didn't feel annoyed, but felt a faint warmth.
"Second aunt, I'll go to Xiatang Village later. He Xinping found a razor to shave the stubble off his mouth.
"You're going again?"
The second aunt sighed, and then said: "It's been so many years, you should let it go, after all, you still have a long time in the future." ”
"I see. He Xinping, who had shaved his beard, looked at his pale self in the mirror, and could hardly find a shadow of the past.
"Then you wait, I'll pack some things for you and bring them over. The second aunt didn't persuade again, but turned around and prepared things for him.
Every time he goes to Xiatang Village, he has to bring something with him, not anything valuable, but rice, flour, grain and oil produced by himself.
"No, I don't have to bring anything this time. He Xinping copied a handful of well water in the basin and wiped it on his face, and the whole person seemed to be much more energetic.
"Don't bring it?" The second aunt, who was used to it, was very surprised when she heard that he didn't bring gifts.
"Xinping, are you okay?" The second aunt became worried when she saw He Xinping's abnormality.
"I can do whatever I want, but this is the last time I'll go, and I won't be there again. He Xinping was silent for a while before he said.
"It's okay not to go, I know Caixia is a good girl, but you should let go of it after so many years, after a while, I will ask your Aunt Zhao to introduce you to a beautiful girl...... The second aunt continued to turn on her nagging mode.
"Second aunt, no need, I want to go out in a few days, and it's okay to stay at home all the time. He Xinping said with a wry smile.
"What, you're going out?" the second aunt's voice was raised.
"Yes, I think I'm still young, and I'll regret it later. He Xinping said with a smile.
"You're twenty-five years old, where are you still young, isn't it good to stay at home? If you don't want to be at home, you can go to the county seat, does your second uncle know about this? Where do you want to go?" The second aunt asked several questions in a row, looking very excited.
"I haven't told my second uncle yet, but I should go to Qiongzhou again!" He Xinping hurriedly explained.
"Qiongzhou?is so far away, what should I do if my aunt misses you? I don't want you to run so far when you go to school, why do you have to go to that place now that you are working?" said the second aunt, tears falling from her eyes.
"Auntie, it's very fast to go to Qiongzhou by plane, if you want to miss me, take a plane to see me, and bring Xiaohui with you when the time comes, doesn't he want to see the sea?" He Xinping hurriedly comforted.
"What a waste of money to fly, and the amount of money you earn all year round is not enough for airfares." The second aunt forcibly stopped her tears and said.
When He Xinping heard this, he took out a bank card from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand and said, "Second aunt, there is some money in here, you can take it to the county seat to buy a house and do some small business or something."
And Xiaohui is about to go to junior high school again, and the school is too far away, and he has to climb several mountains, and he will not be able to stand it after a long time. ”
"What's so unbearable? Didn't you come over like this when you were a child?" the second aunt retorted first.
Then I reacted, now is not the time to talk about this.
Just now He Xinping asked her to take the money in the card and buy a house and open a store, this is not a small amount, where did he get so much money?
"How much money is in this card?" the second aunt glanced at the green postal savings card in her hand.
"A million. He Xinping said casually.
"It turned out to be a million! What? A million? Where did you get so much money?" the second aunt exclaimed, and hurriedly covered the card, for fear that it would grow wings and fly.
"Where can I get it? Of course, I earn it from my work. He Xinping said, turned around and went to take a bath.
"Wait, I can't ask you for this money, you keep it for yourself. The second aunt chased after her.
"I have it myself, and this was meant for you. He Xinping avoided the card that the second aunt handed back, and then turned around and went into the bathroom.
The second aunt was stunned for a moment, and?
With so much money from there, it can't be that he did something illegal, right?
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, so I ran out after thinking about it, and went to the small shop at the entrance of the village to call his second uncle and ask him to come back quickly.
He Xinping came out of the shower, saw that the second aunt was not there, and didn't care, so he changed into clean clothes and went out.
Xiatang Village is more than ten miles away from Hejiazhuang, and the family originally had a motorcycle, but it was ridden by the second uncle, so he could only walk.
