Chapter Twenty-Nine: Thin as a Gossamer

When she returned to her hometown, Yingying knew that it was not as good as expected, and the food was bad every day, and there was still less oil and no salt, and it was unpalatable if it was unpalatable, Liao Guanghui's mother was still talking about what she had eaten before, and she couldn't even eat eggs in the confinement, and the best meal was the boiled gnocchi, and she didn't even put salt, and her mother-in-law didn't bring her children, so she went to work in the field during the confinement...... Yingying was curious at first, wanted to hear it, and slowly became a little annoyed, especially when it came to eating, the food was unpalatable, and she was still talking about the past, Yingying didn't say a word with a blushing face, she wanted to eat so badly, the child must be malnourished, it was better to stay in the shop with Liao Guanghui, you can buy whatever you want to eat, and you can't pay a penny here. Yingying even suspected that the old mother deliberately treated her badly, because she thought that her family had not eaten so badly in the past, not to mention that once her daughter Gui Yun came, she was willing to buy chicken and meat. She didn't like Gui Yun either, so as soon as she came, she opened her teeth and danced her claws, scolding her mother-in-law all the time.

One evening, Gui Yun came home in a mania and went mad to find her brother to help her vent. She was beaten by her man, but it was her mother-in-law who kept scolding, and from her mouth, she heard that her mother-in-law also had three teeth knocked out by her. The reason was that she heard her mother-in-law standing at the gate and digging her out with a group of people.

Yingying stood far away and looked at Gui Yun, she felt that she was really terrible, if she would never reach out to hit her mother-in-law one day, but who would say! I only heard her mother-in-law singing with Gui Yun there again, and stirring up Gui Yun's mother-in-law again.

"Talking about what she used to eat and what she did in the past, could she have come by herself in the past? In the past, your old woman didn't coax the child for you, but now if you don't coax the child for me, you just don't-no-care! Dare to be tough with me, see if I don't beat you to death!" Her mother and Liao Guanghui are both slender and long, but the strange thing is that she has a long body of horizontal flesh and a round belly.

"Did the Cheng army beat you?"

"He listened to that *** and beat me to death, see if I don't settle accounts with her in the future!"

"Beat that old woman to deathβ€”β€” subdue her! She won't dare to fight back with you, your grandmother is like this, and she won't die well when she gets old!"

Yingying stood aside and listened to the two women fighting fiercely, feeling as if she was an outsider, and didn't say a word. Gui Yun listened to his mother talk and talked about his grandmother, and he didn't talk about it. She has nothing to say about her grandmother, not to mention that it is also her grandmother, and her grandmother also loves her, although her mother has been subjected to her all her life, and her mother is not kind to her when she is old, she has seen it with her own eyes, but it is a housework, and it seems to her that she is very open.

In the afternoon of the next day, it was that time again, Cheng Jun came on a motorcycle, Liao Guanghui's mother changed her previous face when she saw this, and greeted Cheng Jun politely with a smile on her face, without mentioning a word about their quarrel, and asked Gui Yun to go back quickly, Cheng Jun saw that the old mother was still acquainted, and he didn't speak, but he only looked at Gui Yun with his eyes: "Don't ?β€”β€” the child to trouble you when you go back!" The mother took her hand to pry Gui Yun, Gui Yun only didn't move, and muttered: "I won't leave, he will beat me again when I get home!" "The old mother has never read a book in her life, and she doesn't have any ideas, so she recognizes a dead reason, the water spilled by the married girl, rich and noble, life and death are fate, not to mention that now the old man is long gone, and she doesn't have any good ideas, so she admits this dead reason. Fortunately, Gui Yun is not the kind of soft persimmon, probably the situation is a snake swallowing a mouse and a hawk swallowing a snake, everyone has to make such a fuss until the chicken flies and the dog jumps, the dog blood sprays the head, and the disillusionment has to reluctantly return to the track of life, and then, when summing up his life one day, he can't help but mention how wise he was when he had a conflict between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but no matter who he said and listened to, he couldn't break off being ugly.

Yingying counted the days of the due date day by day, from childhood to adulthood, she has never spent the days as sacred as now, she seems to have a mission, life seems to no longer belong to her, she must be optimistic, must be strong, must be healthy, she must unconditionally bring the child to the world perfectly, I heard that women give birth to children are to go to the ghost gate, there are dystocia deaths, there are hemorrhage deaths, and there are children who are suffocated to death...... Seeing that the day of delivery is coming, she is worried, she is afraid, she is ignorant, she does not know how to bring this child into this world smoothly, Yingying seems to be suffering from maternal depression. But Liao Guanghui hasn't been back for a long time, isn't he worried about her at all? The mother-in-law doesn't have any money in her hand, and even if she does, she won't send her to the hospital to deliver the baby, Yingying has heard her say that she has already said hello to the midwife in the village, who's mother. So one day at noon, after eating a meal of noodles rolled by the old mother's hand, Yingying decided to go back to the city, although the old mother was a little at a loss, but Yingying's idea had been decided.

It's the end of the year, Yingying sat in the car and looked out the window at the desolate fields, thinking that she can't go back for the New Year this year, presumably people who go out to work or go to school should come back! When she went to Sister Ailing earlier, she was very embarrassed to mention that she would get married after the New Year, yes, when she gave birth to a child after the New Year, no matter whether Liao Guanghui had money for a wedding or not, no matter how it happened, they must get married. She can no longer stand the embarrassment of being pregnant out of wedlock, she doesn't have to look at other people's eyes, she can't go over herself, in fact, she doesn't know how she got to where she is today, but she has no regrets, she sees snowflakes fluttering in the sky outside the car window.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, it is freezing everywhere, the front of the shop is piled up in a mess, the door is closed, Liao Guanghui doesn't know where to go, Yingying walked to the door and touched it around, and sure enough, she touched the key and threw it in a plastic oil drum at the door. Yingying opened the door, the room was even more chaotic, Liao Guanghui, a lazy thing, must have been too lazy to cook except for work, the dishes were not washed, the quilts were not folded, the floor was not swept, there was a mess everywhere, a dusty old TV table was placed a bunch of dishes, Yingying walked over and pulled it with her hand, and it was all yellow plates, Yingying frowned. When he first opened the store, Yingying only needed an old TV to watch, Liao Guanghui was unwilling, he had to spend a few hundred yuan to buy a new VCD, in fact, he mainly wanted to ***, it used to cost a dollar a day to rent a dish, Liao Guanghui rented it and sent it over after reading it, Yingying sometimes rented a prenatal education dish to watch, but I didn't expect that now Liao Guanghui has made so many stays at home, and the woman is not around the man!

Yingying swept the floor first, made the bed, and sorted out the things on the table, and sat on the bed to rest, after all, the month is old, and he doesn't do any work casually, Liao Guanghui doesn't know where he went, I really don't know how he does business here alone. Yingying sat on the bed and was stunned, she felt that she hadn't seen a prenatal education film for a long time, so go to the side street and rent one to take a look, anyway, she has nothing to do when she is idle.

The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, Yingying walks carefully with an umbrella, she suddenly remembered that the woman was going to repair the car last time, I heard that this woman was divorced, very romantic, there are several heads who know alone, but none of them seriously want her, Yingying thought, how can a woman live like this for the rest of her life? From a distance, she saw the rolling shutter door of the video store pulled down, Yingying wanted to go back, and she was unwilling to take two steps closer and looked at it, the door seemed to be hanging, there was no lock, there should be someone inside. So she decided to shout and try, so she walked to the door, bowed down with great effort, patted the iron sheet and shouted: "Is there anyone inside?" shouted twice without response, Yingying held the door up: "Is there anyone? buy something!" She pushed open the glass door on the inside with one hand, thinking that no one would promise her to go back, in broad daylight, the door was not locked, and there would be no one in the house.

"Who ?!β€”β€” do what?"

Finally, someone answered, but said, and then walked out of the woman, dressed in water-red pajamas, apricot flour cheeks, tired in spring, combing her hair with both hands, and seeing that it was Yingying, she was stunned.

"Yes...... That, the music disc for prenatal education?" disturbed people, Yingying asked with an embarrassed smile.

"Yes...... I'll flip it for you!" The woman listened to the busy Ling Sheng momentum just now, and went to turn over the plate, Yingying looked at her with her eyes, she used to see her dressed up too amorous, and it looked like she was really full of charm, and the foundation was not bad, the woman rolled over the corners of her mouth and hung a trace of an inexplicable smile that was not easy to detect, Yingying was also embarrassed to look at others, so she turned around and glanced at the room.

Suddenly, her eyes were fixed on the sky blue checkered umbrella on the flower pot at the door, because it was too similar to the umbrella at her house, however, how could it be? How could her umbrella be here? Maybe she was wrong when she was away from home for so long? Yingying didn't pay attention to it, and looked elsewhere, but intentionally or unintentionally, her eyes fell on the umbrella again, the more she looked at it, the more it looked, there was still a large dirty oil stain on the umbrella cloth, where is Liao Guanghui now?......

"Woohoo!"

Then she heard two bangs on the door in the inner room, and the woman looked back vigilantly, and said as she hurriedly and anxiously flipped through it: "Huh! I think it's right here, some ...... Why can't I find it?"

"Phew!"

There was another sound of slapping on the door, what was going on? Yingying followed the sound in surprise and looked at the door inside, the door was dark inside, she couldn't see through it, and she couldn't see it. Suddenly, she glanced at the lattice umbrella at the door, and at that moment, she subconsciously .......

"Go see ......," she thought solemnly, and walked over tremblingly.

She walked to the door, and saw a different scene inside, everything was elegantly arranged, there was smoke on a heating stove, and a person seemed to be lying on a soft and fragrant jade bed, it must be a man, just when Yingying felt embarrassed, the hanging heart was about to be put down, suddenly, she saw the pair of shoes on the ground, she couldn't be more familiar. Suddenly, she glanced at the jacket of Liao Guanghui hanging on the hanger in the corner of the wall, which did not match this room, and Yingying finally made up her mind to lift the quilt covering the man.

Sure enough, it was Liao Guanghui, who was looking at her with that shameless smile on his face.
