Xiulian's new cemetery is very close to Dongwan Primary School.

Standing in front of the back window of the office and classroom, Zhenhua can see Xiulian's tombstone and grave.

During recess, Zhenhua often looked at Xiulian's grave, and his heart was very warm. I see how charming Qingshan is, I expect Qingshan to see me like this, if Xiulian has a spirit in the sky, it will be just as warm and calm, right?

After the winter solstice, the pace of the year is approaching.

Yilan's belly is also getting bigger day by day, and it will ripen and fall after the year.

Zhenhua is immersed in the joy of becoming a father and looks forward to the coming of the next New Year.

Qi Lei wrote to Zhenhua, saying that he would not come back for the New Year, and asked Zhenhua to take care of Xiulian's grave.

The letter was written very shortly, but Zhenhua knew Qi Lei's sadness. Usually when he comes back, Qi Lei can stay at Lao Mazi's house, but when he comes back during the Spring Festival, where can he go?

After hesitating for two or three days, Zhenhua went to Zhuang Xiaodie again, hoping that she could reconcile with Qi Lei.

Zhuang Xiaodie restrained a lot, and this time she didn't glare at Zhenhua, but just said lightly: "Let Qi Lei apologize to me, and I will agree to him coming back." ”

Zhenhua smiled bitterly: "The current situation is that Qi Lei is unwilling to come back. Fluttershy, if you could...... Say something nice, even if I tell you about it, Qi Lei will definitely come back for the New Year. ”

Zhuang Xiaodie shook her head: "Impossible, I'm not wrong, it's impossible to apologize to Qi Lei." ”

Zhenhua once again returned in vain.

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, the workers under Qi Lei all returned.

Zhenhua's brother-in-law, Chen Daogang, first came to Dongwan Village and sent two cigarettes and two boxes of wine to Zhenhua's father. This was all bought by Qi Lei and entrusted Chen Daogang to bring it back.

Zhao Chenghai saw the cigarettes and alcohol, and remembered Qi Lei's good coming, and sighed: "Alas, if Qi Lei doesn't come back for the New Year, Dongwan Village will be a lot deserted!"

Chen Daogang also sighed and asked, "What is going on with Qi Lei and his wife? ”

Zhenhua shook his head, unable to explain this to his brother-in-law.

It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs. Zhuang Xiaodie and Qi Lei's emotional disputes, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.

In fact, for now, Xiulian's matter has been settled, and it doesn't matter who is right or wrong between Zhuang Xiaodie and Qi Lei. The difficulty is that neither side will give in and neither will bow to the other!

On the twenty-fourth of the lunar month, Zhenhua's sister Chunlan came back from work.

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, I didn't see my family for a whole year. As soon as Chunlan entered the door, she threw herself into her mother's arms and cried profusely!

Cui Hong hugged her daughter, and couldn't help crying, but said with a smile: "The girl doesn't cry, don't cry...... If you can't afford to go home, you won't go out to work next year, and your mother will support you!"

Zhao Chenghai naturally felt sorry for his flesh and blood, but he pretended to be a tough guy and scolded: "If you don't go out to work, you will be noisy and noisy, and you can't wait to grow wings and fly out and never come back." When I go out to work, I cry when I come home!"

"I'm going to cry...... Chunlan wiped her tears, finished coquettishly playing with her mother, took her sister-in-law's hand again, and said, "Sister-in-law, I bought leather shoes for you and my brother, and I don't know if they fit or not." ”

"Thank you, thank you, but don't buy me anything in the future, it's a long way away, and it's a crime to bring it back. Yilan smiled.

"The little girl has grown taller and sensible!" Zhenhua was also happy and touched his sister's head.

Chunlan worked for a year and saved more than 2,800 yuan, leaving only more than 300 yuan for pocket money and travel expenses after the year, and the rest was handed over to her mother.

Such a large amount of income in the family made Zhao Chenghai very happy.

The fifteen pigs that began to be raised in the summer were all slaughtered, and the accounts were calculated, and they earned about 3,000.

The harvest in the fields is also very good this year. There is also Zhenhua's pitiful salary, and the fragmentary income is added together, Zhao Chenghai feels that he is also a 10,000 yuan household!

Chunlan's return made the family really happy for several days, and there was constant laughter and laughter every day.

Yilan's sister Yiping also came to see her sister and played with Chunlan by the way. The two of them worked in a small factory, and in a year's time, they also formed a deep friendship with workers, like sisters.

Chinese New Year's Eve is coming, and the village is still as lively.

Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, Zhenhua went to greet Qi Lei's mother.

Lan Yuzhi and Zhuang Xiaodie both have reddish circles under their eyes, and they don't have the joy of the New Year.

Qi Lei's younger siblings are also unhappy and listless.

In the New Year, Zhenhua didn't want to say anything, put down the gift, gave Qi Shuai ten yuan of New Year's money, and said goodbye after a few casual chats.

Lan Yuzhi sent Zhenhua out of the door and sighed: "I'm sorry for you, Zhenhua, Qi Lei is not at home, otherwise, I would have to leave you for a meal today!"

In fact, it's no problem to keep food, because Qi Lei's second brother Qi Gui has grown up and can be hospitable.

Lan Yuzhi didn't stay in the guest, mainly because she was not in the mood. And she also knew that even if she stayed as a guest, Zhenhua would not eat here, Qi Lei was not at home, and Zhenhua was not in the mood.

Zhenhua couldn't help it and asked, "Auntie, it doesn't matter if you eat or not...... Can't you persuade Fluttershy to do so? I think if this continues, I'm afraid that Qi Lei and Fluttershy will really ......."

Lan Yuzhi shook her head, feeling downcast, "It's also my fault for helping Fluttershy speak in the first place." If she had pressed Fluttershy a little bit in the first place, she probably wouldn't have been so strong...... At the end of the year, I often try to persuade Fluttershy, but Fluttershy says she's used to it and that's how it goes. ”

"Okay, you talk about Fluttershy later, and I'll talk about Qi Lei. Zhenhua was also at a loss, so he had to quit and go home.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhenhua took cigarettes and alcohol and went to Zhuo Daying alone to pay New Year's greetings.

Because Yilan is almost due date, I dare not go back to my parents' house for dinner at this time, worried about problems on the road.

Yilan's mother misses her daughter, so on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she took her youngest daughter Yiping to Dongwan Village for dinner, and by the way, she took a look at the situation in Yilan.

However, Yilan's stomach did not move, and it was not until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that there were some signs of production.

Zhenhua didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly found a tricycle from the town to send Yilan to the township health center to give birth.

The year before last, Ji Huamei's confinement hemorrhage, Zhenhua still remembered it vividly, and he didn't dare to let Yilan be confined at home. It costs a little more to go to the hospital, but the safety of both mother and child is guaranteed.

Zhao Chenghai was very dissatisfied with his son's arrangement, thinking that Yilan was delicate and expensive, and that Zhenhua was making a fuss and wasting money. Most of the women in Dongwan Village are confined to midwives at home, and few go to the hospital.

Fortunately, Zhao Chenghai just talked to his wife behind his back, and never mentioned it in front of Zhenhua and Yilan. After all, Yilan has been married for more than a year, and has made a lot of money by raising pigs and farming scientifically. The cost of confinement in the hospital is only a dime a dozen in nine years compared to the value created by Yilan.
