Hou Jing's hometown of Tongliao is indeed as he described to Xiaoqing, although it is much smaller than Hoh, but the big city has the prosperity of the big city, the small city has the taste of the small city, and Tongliao also has many beautiful scenery and delicious food to be tasted.

The sky is blue, the land is fertile, and in ancient times, it was a battleground for soldiers like the Central Plains. There was once a saying that whoever got Horqin (part of Tongliao belonged to ancient Horqin) got the grassland tribes.

According to the analysis of historians, Dayan Khan and Huang Taiji both achieved their grand cause because they received Horqin's funding, while Lin Dan Khan was defeated because he failed to get Horqin's funding.

If Hou Jing hadn't died, but had taken Xiaoqing back to Tongliao to meet his parents and family, how happy Xiaoqing would have been! Hou Jing would definitely have led her to have a good walk around Tongliao and personally appreciate the customs and customs of Tongliao.

She really didn't know much about this new place. However, Hou Jing died, and Xiaoqing's mood was terrible. She doesn't even have the interest to go shopping now.

For several days, everyone has been busy with Hou Jing's funeral.

On the surface, Xiaoqing is just Hou Jing's girlfriend. But in Xiaoqing's heart, she regarded herself as Hou Jing's wife, because they had already held a wedding. She also wore filial piety for Hou Jing as Hou Jing's wife.

Not only Hou Jing's relatives, but also the fellow villagers who are not related to Hou Jing praised Xiaoqing's behavior.

When Hou Jing was buried, Hou Jing's urn was packed in a large coffin. This is a common phenomenon in rural areas after the promotion of cremation. In this way, the area of the tomb has not decreased compared to the past.

Therefore, the promotion of cremation has not had the desired effect except to increase the income of crematoriums. This is the case in China at the moment, where some good policies are not only not immediate, but counterproductive.

Hou Jing was buried behind the graves of his grandfather and grandmother. The old grave was followed by a new grave, and it was the grave of the younger generation, which made everyone who attended the funeral lament the untimely death of Hou Jing. His grave was filled with wreaths of mourning.

There is a small poplar forest near the cemetery. The branches of the tree are growing towards the sky, and Xiaoqing heard Hou Jing say that that kind of tree is called Piercing Poplar to them. At the moment when Xiaoqing turned around, she suddenly saw a woman hiding behind a sky-piercing poplar, with long hair fluttering and a white dress, suddenly appearing like a ghost, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

She probably noticed that someone had noticed her and suddenly hidden. Xiaoqing didn't see her appearance clearly. Xiaoqing was full of curiosity about this uninvited guest. Along the way, she wondered who that woman really was.

Could it be her?!Xiaoqing thought of the same person over and over again. She is the Xiaoxiao that Hou Jing once lived up to. What is she here for? To sabotage Hou Jing's funeral in order to avenge his original guilt? It doesn't seem to be the case.

If she wants to take revenge, she has already taken revenge, why hasn't she taken action after the funeral? That is, her old love is unforgettable, and she wants to send her former lover on the last ride, but she doesn't want to show her face, which arouses everyone's unwarranted suspicion, so she hides behind a tree and watches Hou Jing go to the ground for peace.

The more Xiaoqing thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. She silently said to the dead Hou Jing in her heart, if you have knowledge under the Nine Springs, you should also feel relieved to see the two women in your life seeing you off.

It was already late at night, it was pitch black outside, and Xiaoqing in the house had not yet slept. She thought of Hou Jing again. She thought that Hou Jing must be in the boundless dark night at this moment, and she would stay there forever.

It was an empire of darkness, with long nights and darkness everywhere. She wanted to take him away from a world that was only dark and bleak, but she couldn't do anything about it. Thinking of this, she was extremely sad.

Sympathizing with the same disease, the waiting mother can't sleep. Seeing that the light in Xiaoqing's house was still on, the waiting mother guessed that she hadn't fallen asleep yet, so she wanted to talk to her. Mother Hou walked to the door of Xiaoqing's room, looked into the house and asked:

"Have you slept, Xiaoqing?"

"No, I don't. Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Hey. ”

"Then come in. The door is unlocked. ”

"I haven't slept so late, is there something on my mind?"

"I don't have anything on my mind, I just can't sleep. ”

"Hou Jing's funeral is enough for you to suffer. Tonight, you can get some rest. Tomorrow, you can buy a ticket to go back to the city. ”

"You don't want me to stay here longer?"

"What's the matter? It's just that you live here, won't your work be delayed?"

"It's nothing to miss work for a few days. I'll just talk to the leader. I won't go back until Hou Jing has passed the 'first seven'. ”

"Just have your heart. For the sake of my son's funeral, the hardships you have endured and the tiredness you have suffered, we have all seen it in our eyes and remembered it in our hearts. If my son sees what you have done for him in the underground, he will thank you exceedingly. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do. ”

"From now on, I will be your daughter. Hou Jing is gone, I will honor you for him. ”

"Good girl!"

"Mom!"

"Girl. From now on, this is your home. You can come whenever you want, and stay as long as you want. ”

The two hard-working women hugged each other tightly. Tears of happiness filled their eyes.

On the day Xiaoqing left, Hou Jing's parents personally sent her to the train station. At night, when she thinks again of what her mother had said to her, her heart will feel warm. Although she lost her lover, she also had a new home.
