"Big sister, this is going to borrow your auspicious words. Hearing her say this, Mrs. Cen, who had already stopped washing, walked into the house and thanked her repeatedly.

"The old man is—" Xiao Mei looked at Old Lady Cen and asked Zheng Wenshu.

"It's my mother-in-law. Zheng Wenshu hurriedly introduced.

"Oh, I'm clumsy, I didn't see it," Xiao Mei heard this, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, I'm really sorry to disturb you early in the morning." ”

"Look, it's a blessing for you to come. Old Lady Cen said from the bottom of her heart.

"Grandma's words are serious, Xiao Mei can't afford it. If you are welcome, I will come to see your family whenever I have time, you know, until now, I have not seen my father. ”

"Actually, you've seen it. When Zheng Wenshu heard this, she remembered the past again.

"I've seen it?" Xiao Mei was a little surprised.

"It's the one who helped me carry you away when I was fleeing. ”

"Really?" Hearing this, Xiao Mei was even more surprised.

"To say, you are still your mother's matchmaker. Hearing her daughter-in-law say this, Mrs. Cen was also a little excited. Although she is old, she still has an impression of this past. She still remembers the scene when her wife insisted that her son marry Zheng Wenshu. According to him, it is difficult for such a kind and capable woman to walk with a lantern. Now it seems that my wife does have a vision. Without Zheng Wenshu, Hua Nian and this family really don't know what it will become, and whether the Cen family will have well-behaved and obedient children such as pragmatic, cutting-edge and Limin.

"Oh, I really didn't expect this!" Listening to Mrs. Cen's chatter, Xiao Mei felt very novel. At that moment, she felt that human fate was so magical: an escape and rescue not only gave her a loving mother, but also a lifelong companion.

"Just have breakfast here?" Zheng Wenshu looked at Xiao Mei who was distracted, and then looked at the old table clock on the table, and asked her.

"I've already eaten at the guest house when I came, and you and Grandma are at your own convenience. Xiao Mei thanked her, "I'll sit here for a while, and everyone will talk." ”

"Look at our humble here, it makes you laugh. Watching her look at the house, Mrs. Cen said.

"I think this house is the best. Xiao Mei said from the bottom of her heart, "I won't tell you anything, due to the deployment of the troops, I have been to many places in the past, and it is really rare to see such a quaint and clean place." ”

"It was okay before, but now—" Jung Wenshu shook her head.

"It will get better in the future," Xiao Mei knew what she wanted to say, so she comforted, "After all, the boss said that it has been a few years, and it is better to be stable and united." ”

"We want that too. Zheng Wenshu nodded, and then asked, "You won't leave today, will you?" She hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years, and she really wanted the other party to stay for the night.

"I'll come back next time. Xiao Mei answered Zheng Wenshu's question. Seeing her look a little disappointed, he explained: "Since I don't know if I can find you, I didn't make arrangements in advance, plus I just transferred here, and there are still many things to deal with at home." After a pause, he said: "Originally, Lao Liu was going to come with me, but he was picked up by someone from the military subdivision halfway, saying that he had a work report, so he had to leave me and the driver." The car was sent by the military region, and the time for the dispatch was well arranged, so it was not easy to delay. ”

"Oh well. Hearing her say this, Zheng Wenshu could only nod. Just as she was about to say something, a call came from outside the courtyard.

"It seems to be the driver. Xiao Mei stood up when she heard the sound, looking out of the door. Sure enough, a soldier in his twenties walked into the hall.

"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Mei asked.

"Aunt Xiao, just now the Ministry of Armed Forces sent a call from the military sub-district, saying that Deputy Commander Liu rushed back to the provincial capital this morning because the provincial military region had urgent affairs, and he asked you to go back as soon as possible. The young soldier was very polite, first nodded and smiled at Zheng Wenshu and Old Lady Cen, and then reported the situation to Xiao Mei.

"Okay," Xiao Mei nodded, turned around and said to Zheng Wenshu, "Mom, I'm really sorry, I'm going to leave." ”

"You have something to do, and you can't keep it if you want to. Zheng Wenshu felt very regretful.

"Mom, don't be sad, I found you, we will have the opportunity to meet in the future. It's easy to find, and if I can, I'll have to stay with you for a few days, just as you did when you took me and Sister Huimin to sleep in a haystack. Xiao Mei comforted Zheng Wenshu, paused, and said, "I will not only come myself, but also bring my husband and children with me." You don't know, Lao Liu participated in the revolution in his early years, and all the people in his family were killed by the Kuomintang except for an old sister-in-law, and my relatives are his relatives. ”

Hearing her say this, Zheng Wenshu immediately had such a thought in her heart. Just as she accompanied Xiao Mei out of the hall, she met Jiang Yizhen who was walking towards this side.

"Visitor?" Jiang Yizhen saw from afar.

"Oh, an acquaintance I used to know. Zheng Wenshu introduced.

"It's Hyemin's sister. Xiao Mei corrected.

"Really?" Jiang Yizhen was a little puzzled.

Looking at her expression, Xiao Mei pursed her lips and smiled, and then asked, "Are you-"

"I'm Huimin's mother's neighbor and a good friend of hers. Jiang Yizhen replied boldly.

"Good, good," Xiao Mei said, "It's not easy for my mother, thanks to you friends. ”

"Yes, we all look out for each other and help each other. ”

"Thank you for that. Xiao Mei said sincerely, turned to Zheng Wenshu and said, "Mom, I'm leaving," she said, took off the swimming watch she was wearing from her wrist and put it on Zheng Wenshu's hand, "I don't know if I can find you when I come, so I didn't bring any gifts, this watch will be given to you as a souvenir, although it is not worth much, it is still very accurate when you leave." ”

"It's not good, such a heavy gift," Zheng Wenshu was a little at a loss when she suddenly received such a big gift, "Besides, I'm a housewife, not like you are a cadre at work." ”

"What's wrong with this? You're my mother!" Hearing Zheng Wenshu say this, Xiao Mei couldn't agree, "If you feel that you can't get used to it, you can give it to Huimin's sister." ”

"If your daughter gave it, you can take it. Jiang Yizhen said on the side: "This is a part of her heart." ”

"But I don't have anything in return. Zheng Wenshu was quite uneasy.

"Mom, have you given me less? You gave me my life!" Hearing her say this, Xiao Mei was very excited, and her words looked slightly choked. After a while, Fang said calmly: "I'm leaving, you take care of yourself, and say hello to your father and sister Huimin." As he spoke, he took the Buddha of Longevity handed over by Zheng Wenshu, put it on his neck very solemnly, and then walked to the jeep parked at the corner of the courtyard with the driver waiting on the side.

At some point, there were already a lot of onlookers around the jeep. A car came to Yahou Street, and there was a sign of the army, which was a rare thing. In the memories of the old residents, except for the meeting of the head of the People's Liberation Army at Limin Primary School during the liberation of Lichuan, this is the second time, even if Cai Limin is a deputy county magistrate, people have seen him ride in this kind of car, but they have never seen him drive the car in.

Seeing so many onlookers in the neighborhood, Zheng Wenshu couldn't help but slow down. She usually doesn't like to watch the excitement the most, and she doesn't want to be the object of other people's discussions. It's just that she doesn't know, she doesn't like this, but people still see that the car and its passengers are here because of her, and among them, including Yang Qionghua, who happened to pass by. But when the woman saw this scene, she was first shocked, and then her face darkened.

The car started. At the moment when she stepped on the door pedal, Xiao Mei suddenly ran around and hugged Zheng Wenshu and sobbed.

Seeing her like this, Zheng Wenshu's eyes were also moist, and she couldn't help but reach out and gently pat her back.

Perhaps realizing that someone was watching on the side, Xiao Mei cried for a while, but finally let go of the hands that hugged Zheng Wenshu, wiped her eyes, and smiled embarrassedly at Zheng Wenshu and Jiang Yizhen. Then he walked down towards the jeep. It's just that after getting in the car, he still poked his head out of the window, and waved his hand to Zheng Wenshu reluctantly until the car drove out of the Cen family's compound to the bend of the main road on Yahou Street, and she and Jiang Yizhen were nowhere to be seen.
