Zhao Wenbin has been getting more and more impatient recently, it has been three months since WHDGM, but there is no news from his father and eldest son, he sometimes thinks that even the worst result is better than this kind of indefinite waiting.

He got off work as usual and walked into the familiar courtyard, where his wife Cui Li was cooking, and he took a sip of water

"Is Qiuli gone?"

Yesterday, Li Laifu told him and asked him to tell Xu Qiuli that Xu Qiuli's brother called to say that his father had died and asked Xu Qiuli to go home for the funeral, and he told Xu Qiuli the news when he came back.

Cui Li brought the fried dishes to the table and replied

"I went down in the coal cart early in the morning, on such a cold day, I said let her leave Haohao, I helped her watch, she said that she had asked for leave, and she wanted to go back until her father's first seven days passed before coming back, so she took Haohao with her. ”

Zhao Wenbin sighed and said

"Alas, there is no news from my father's side, if we can be rehabilitated, we must change places for Qiuli and their mother and son, this coal mine is too bitter, Qiuli is too guilty of a woman with a child, I am so sorry for Brother Youmu." ”

Cui Li also sighed deeply

"Yes, I think the same way, we owe their mother and son too much, but we don't have the ability now, don't think too much, just take good care of their mother and son at the moment, my father's side to be honest, I'm a little hopeless." ”

The two of them stopped talking, and the whole room fell silent, and suddenly the daughter next to him, Zhao Meng, shouted

"Mom, I'm hungry, let's eat. ”

The daughter's shout broke the silence in the room, Cui Li hurriedly went to serve the child dinner, and the family rested early after eating.

Zhao Wenbin woke up in the middle of the night with a huge slamming door, and his wife Cui Li asked timidly

"Who is it, so loud!"

Zhao Wenbin said while getting dressed

"Don't be surprised, WHDGM is over, I'll find out when I go and see. ”

He went out of the room, came to the door of the small courtyard and asked outside

"Who?"

"Let's find Zhao Wenbin, open the door!" a man's voice came from outside the door

Zhao Wenbin opened the door, and there were a few people standing outside, but it was too dark to see anything clearly, and he said to the few vague figures

"I am Zhao Wenbin, who are you, what is the matter with me. ”

It was a tall man who came closer, looked at Zhao Wenbin and said

"Go into the house and say, it's not convenient here. ”

Zhao Wenbin turned around and entered the house, and the tall man and another person followed.

Entering the room, the tall man took out a document and handed it to Zhao Wenbin

"We are from the GS Provincial PF Committee, and we are looking for you about your father Zhao Shuo, and I hope you will come with us. ”

Zhao Wenbin didn't expect that what he was looking forward to every day was actually this ending, so he said stupidly

"My father and I had all the problems that should have been made clear eight years ago. ”

The tall man said with a smile

"Comrade Zhao Wenbin, you may have misunderstood, it is that there was a major mistake in the problem of your father and you, and we are going to take you back. ”

As soon as Zhao Wenbin heard this, his heart, which had just been dead, ignited a glimmer of hope.

"Okay, I'll go with you. ”

The tall man looked at Zhao Wenbin and said with a smile

"Comrade Zhao Wenbin, it's not you who go with us, it's you, your lover and your children, all of whom want to go back with us. ”

Zhao Wenbin suddenly reacted, these people are from his hometown GS Province, he asked

"Is it back to GS?"

"Yes, let's go now, catch the train back to GS at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

Zhao Wenbin hesitated, he and Cui Li are gone now, what should Xu Qiuli do?

"Won't it be okay in a few days?"

"Comrade Zhao Wenbin, I hope you understand, we didn't rest all the way, and we took you back to GS Province as soon as possible. The tall man said

Zhao Wenbin knew that he had to go, so he asked his wife Cui Li to pack some things simply, and he wrote a short letter, which was sandwiched between the door of Xu Qiuli's house, and then got in the car and the family left the Honggou Coal Mine in a hurry.

Xu Qiuli's father finally died this winter, and Xu Qiuli took her son Wang Hao until the father's first seven years were over, and then returned to the Honggou Coal Mine.

When she returned home, she found a letter left by Zhao Wenbin, in which Zhao Wenbin told her that she was going back to her hometown because of her father's affairs, and that she had no way to notify her because of the suddenness of the incident, hoping that she would live a good life, waiting for herself and Cui Li to come to find their mother and son.

The departure of Zhao Wenbin and his wife made Xu Qiuli feel a little lost, in fact, many people persuaded her to leave the Honggou Coal Mine this time, because it was too bitter here, how could a woman live with her children, etc., but she thought of the grave bag on the hillside behind the hospital, she felt that she couldn't leave her husband alone here, at least in the past few years, she didn't plan to leave.

Spring in the northwest always comes so late, and in April, the trees grow green shoots, and the grass on the ground sprouts, adding a rare touch of green to the entire Honggou coal mine.

It has been almost three months since Zhao Wenbin's family left, Xu Qiuli has also adapted to the work of the school, and every day when she goes to work, she entrusts an aunt in the alley to take care of her son Wang Hao, the little guy is eight months old, and he looks white and healthy.

But I don't know when it started, rumors began to circulate about her son in the entire residential area, saying that her son was born on Halloween and was a ghost boy, so she killed her husband, which made Xu Qiuli very angry at first, but she didn't have anything to do, and slowly she didn't get angry, but sometimes she would secretly wipe her tears.

Xu Qiuli is in the first to third grades, there are three classes in total, so she is generally not very busy, she finished the class early, she was correcting the students' homework in the office, and Wu Xiuzhen, another teacher in the school, walked in and looked at Xu Qiuli

"Qiu Li is changing her homework. ”

For this Wu Xiuzhen, Xu Qiuli was disgusted when she first came to school, because after learning about Xu Qiuli's experience, Wu Xiuzhen had to say that she introduced her cousin to her, and said a lot of benefits for her cousin, which made Xu Qiuli very annoying when she heard it.

Her longing for her husband Wang Youmu has never become indifferent because of the loss of time, but it is deepening day by day, so at first she was always reluctant to deal with this Wu Xiuzhen, and then Wu Xiuzhen saw that she didn't mean it, so she didn't mention it.

After getting along slowly for a while, Xu Qiuli found that Wu Xiuzhen was actually good, except that sometimes her enthusiasm was a little too much, and she also gave her a lot of help when she first came to school, so they get along better now.

"Yes, Sister Xiuzhen didn't have class today?" Xu Qiuli responded with a smile

"Well, today's class is over, and when I change my homework, I'll go home. ”

"Oh, I'm pretty much the same, I'm done correcting this, and I'm going back. ”

Wu Xiuzhen looked at the office and saw that there was no one in the office, lowered her body and said in Xu Qiuli's ear

"Qiuli, let me tell you something, I heard the old man in my family say a few days ago that a police officer came to find Chief Shi. ”

Xu Qiuli raised her head and looked at Wu Xiuzhen, she didn't understand what Wu Xiuzhen meant by this, Wu Xiuzhen continued to whisper

"Qiu Li, as soon as I say this, you just listen to it, don't think about it, I heard that it was Zhang Ercai who killed your husband who was arrested by the police in JS Province, saying that it was a hooligan plus theft and injury, anyway, this guy is not a good person, Zhang Ercai said in prison that he had killed people in Honggou, but it was all caused by Chief Shi Mine to do this, so the police came to find Chief Shi Mine. ”

Xu Qiuli stood up suddenly and asked anxiously

"Are you saying this is true?"

"Be quiet, many people in the mine know about this, but no one will tell you, don't hurt me, I'll tell you kindly, you just know." Wu Xiuzhen said anxiously

At this moment, Xu Qiuli suddenly calmed down, she sat back in her chair and asked

"Sister Xiuzhen, I know you're good to me, I understand, so what's going on now?"

"I heard from others, Chief Shi directly said that Zhang Ercai was fired by him, so he hated him and slandered him like this, it's all nonsense, the police went to the security department to transfer the file of your husband's accident, and finally left without finding any evidence. Wu Xiuzhen whispered

Looking at Xu Qiuli, who was sitting there without saying a word, Wu Xiuzhen continued

"Qiu Li, I also heard them say some things, now that Chief Shi is fine, you see who will tell you this, sister, I also watched you alone with a child, and I didn't want your husband to die in vain, don't say it's what I said." ”

Xu Qiuli nodded and said with a smile

"Sister Xiuzhen, don't worry, I won't go out and talk nonsense if there is no evidence, let alone say that you said it to me. ”

"Alas, some things are either black or black, white is white, don't think too much, the police have not found any evidence, and it can only be said that it is a rumor. Wu Guozhen walked out of the office after speaking.

Xu Qiuli's heart was already turbulent at this time, she put down the work in her hand and left the office in a hurry......
