Chapter 4: Encounter Again in This Life

Chinese New Year's Eve Mother Liao's mother stir-fried halfway to find that the soy sauce bottle at home was empty, Liao's father was still on duty at night to go home, Grandma Liao led her grandson to visit the old sisters, but in the common kitchen, you can find someone else's house to borrow a bowl of soy sauce at the bottom.

But Liao's mother was angry, during this time, these neighbors did not pay attention to her Qingmei, so she was not willing to borrow their things, so she simply sent Liao Qingmei, who was washing vegetables, to the consignment point to make soy sauce.

Carrying a soy sauce bottle, Liao Qingmei left the compound with the halva in Liao's mother's mouth before going out.

The family compound is in the middle of the station and the Jingbei factory, there are supply and marketing cooperatives in the factory area, and the goods are complete, but today the New Year must not be able to operate, and the consignment point in the village next to it is much more convenient, although it is a little far away from the compound, but the consignment point is also a home, and the owner can buy things by calling it out.

At this time, there was no commissary, and later someone in the compound opened a commissary, thinking that the family made a fortune and later bought a house and a car, Liao Qingmei secretly calculated in her heart.

Liao's mother has a gentle temperament but is quick to do things, it should not be difficult to open a commissary, the house at the gate of the compound is public, if you can't talk about it, there are nearby houses next to the compound that can be rented.

There is a big golden deer at home, and the purchase is not a problem, although Liao's father often has to be on duty, but there is still a normal rest.

Just thinking about something, a horn suddenly sounded in front, Liao Qingmei looked up and saw that it was a minibus passing by Jingbei in the city, and hurriedly walked to the side of the road and waited.

The road here is very narrow, only a minibus can be allowed to pass, and it is necessary to prevent the snow splashed by the car in the past, but I didn't expect Liao Qingmei to stop, and the minibus also stopped.

Liao Qingmei didn't care too much, some family members were far away, hurried to catch the train late and the like, and often arrived at the compound in Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Qingmei!" Fang Zhicheng came down with his luggage with a calm face, but he didn't expect to see Liao Qingmei standing on the side of the road at a glance, his eyes were suddenly hot, and she lost weight!

The accident came unexpectedly, and Liao Qingmei didn't expect that the person who got out of the car would be Fang Zhicheng!

At this time, the young Fang Zhicheng did not have the depressed atmosphere at all, his back was no longer rickety, and his expression was a little tired because of the long journey, but the whole person was spiritual, and when he saw Fang Zhicheng when he was young, Liao Qingmei was more strange and dazed.

It turns out that Fang Zhicheng looked like this when he was young?

As Fang Zhicheng came down, there was another person who also followed, Fang Zhicheng's new wife, Fang Qinglan.

The two of them were in the dust, Fang Zhicheng had a resolute face, holding a large package in both hands, and walked in front with big strides, and Fang Qinglan in the back was also full of hands, running with small steps to keep up.

At this time, Fang Qinglan was still dressed a little rustic, her skin was wheat-colored but her facial features were handsome, and her figure was slightly fat, she was exactly the daughter-in-law that the countrymen liked, with two big black and shiny braids hanging down on her chest, her face was flushed, and when she saw passers-by looking at her, she lowered her head shyly, her face became more and more red, and she still had a red silk scarf mailed by Liao Qingmei around her neck.

Her eyes stopped on the red silk scarf for a second, Liao Qingmei smiled clearly, and some things that made her linger for a lifetime really pulled out of her heart, looking at Fang Zhicheng, who was a little stunned because of her appearance, with a calm expression, "Comrade Fang Zhicheng, I wish you a happy marriage." ”

She thought that after going through the previous life, she hated Fang Zhicheng, no, she should hate! It's just that the Fang Zhicheng she hated was inferior and inactive, not the current Fang Zhicheng, after all, they didn't know anything about the future, and they were very "innocent".

"Thank you for your blessings. After being silent for a while, Fang Zhicheng spoke up, he glanced back at Fang Qinglan who fell behind him, probably because he was afraid of seeing people, he stood behind and didn't move, seeing that both of them looked over, with timidity on their faces, but they didn't forget to smile at Liao Qingmei friendly.

Liao Qingmei responded with a smile and prepared to leave.

"I'm sorry, Qingmei!" Fang Zhicheng didn't feel pain in his heart, especially when he saw Liao Qingmei, who had lost most of her weight, but at the moment he made his choice, he was no longer qualified, he was now Fang Qinglan's husband, Fang Qinglan was his responsibility, and he would not do anything to be sorry for her.

What's more, that would be too unfair to Qingmei, thinking of what was sent back, Fang Zhicheng felt a pain in his heart, but he didn't show it at all.

"You are a good girl, you will definitely meet someone who really loves you, I hope you can live happier than me in the future, I'm sorry!"

Fang Zhicheng at this time...... Liao Qingmei turned her face to look at him, not at all like the man who came after, even like two different people, poverty and disability destroyed all his pride, and also eroded his dignity.

Whether he is now because of his status as a soldier, or whether he really feels sorry for her, he can hear a sorry voice, and Liao Qingmei's resentment towards Fang Zhicheng and even the Fang family has somewhat lightened in her heart.

Liao Qingmei lowered her eyes slightly, raised her eyes again, and the relief in her eyes was clearly visible, "Thank you for your blessings, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye!" Fang Zhicheng stopped and watched Liao Qinglan go away.

It wasn't until Liao Qingmei turned into the fork in the road at the distribution point that Fang Zhicheng withdrew his gaze, and Fang Qinglan saw that the person was leaving, so she cautiously came over, "Brother Zhicheng, who is she?"

Fang Zhicheng looked at Fang Qinglan, who was full of eyes and only him, the corners of his mouth were slightly bitter, seeing that she was struggling to carry her big bag and small bag, he reached out to pick up the things in her hand, "It's just a friend, is it heavy?" ”

"No, no, it's very light, I can carry a burden of hundreds of pounds at home. Fang Qinglan hurriedly let go of the past, Fang Zhicheng's hand was not less than hers, but he was very considerate of him. "Let's go, go back, and we can put it down when we get home." ”

Speaking of going home, Fang Qinglan became shy again, secretly lifted her eyelids and glanced at Fang Zhicheng, and found that there was still no expression on his face, and she was slightly lost in her heart, and soon became happy again, urging him, "Let's go, let's go, it's the New Year today." ”

Fang Zhicheng nodded, and continued to lead the way in front without looking back, Fang Qinglan quietly glanced back, bit her lip and hurriedly followed Fang Zhicheng's footsteps in front of her.

When she came back after beating soy sauce, there was no shadow of the Fang family and her husband on the road, Liao Qingmei ignored the inquiring eyes of others, tightened her neck and rushed home.

The Liao family's New Year's dinner is generally set according to Liao's father's work, and this year, Liao's father is on duty, and the reunion dinner is opened a few hours in advance.

The meal was put on the table, there was no shrine at home, but Grandma Liao still prepared food and wine and rice to worship the ancestors, and put out the remains of Grandpa Liao, Liao Qingmei and Liao Haoyu both knelt down and kowtowed, Liao Haoyu also kowtowed on behalf of his eldest brother Liao Haochen, who was working outside.

After eating, Liao Haoyu went out to go crazy, Grandma Liao instructed Liao's mother to roll out the skin and make dumplings, and Liao's father was going back to duty, and called Liao Qingmei before going out and asked her to send him.

"Your dad, really! Go and come back quickly, wear more clothes, don't freeze on the road. Liao's mother just wanted to complain about Liao's father, but Liao's grandmother, who had bad ears, seemed to be able to hear it, and the eye knife swept over, cutting off Liao's mother's words at the back.

Liao Qingmei couldn't help but laugh, don't look at Grandma Liao's cold face towards everyone, her son is no exception, but as long as her daughter-in-law dares to say that her son is not good...... Hehe.

Liao's father was also speechless, his mother had been here for the past few days, and she hadn't even spoken a few words to him, just bullying his daughter-in-law.

The father and daughter walked in the courtyard together, Liao's father looked at Liao Qingmei and stopped talking, Fang Zhicheng came back, and came back with the baby daughter-in-law, and the news spread all over their compound after a while.

Although they are also one of the military compounds here, there are really no high-ranking officials and cadres in the courtyard, just a few old retired old chiefs, who usually live in a simple place, and it is difficult to meet each other, most of them are civilian workers like Liao's father, there are also technical backbones, and some senior technicians from nearby third-line factories.

The people in the compound are also gossiping, the matter of the Liao family Qingmei is the talk of the family after tea and dinner in the past few months, and it is also a negative example of parents educating their daughters, as soon as Fang Zhicheng appeared, she also met Liao Qingmei in person, and when she was still playing soy sauce at the distribution point, the news had already flown to the Liao family.

Liao's father is very worried about Liao Qingmei, he is afraid that she will think about it if she can't let go, he is not afraid of boys, but girls will regret it for the rest of their lives if they go the wrong way, and think worse, in the past few years, there have been several cases of suicide for love in their local area, he is a father, he is afraid!

"Qingmei!" Liao's father didn't even dare to say anything serious now, and was thinking about how to use the wording to make his daughter listen to it as tactfully as possible, and Liao Qingmei herself spoke first.

also took the initiative to hold Liao's father's arm, this weather-hardened man, his eyes were hot, and he almost burst into tears.

"Dad, don't worry about me, I really let go, I've seen his wife, it's good, and he deserves it. ”

Liao Qingmei leaned her head on Liao's father's shoulder, "In the future, I want to find a man like Dad, who is reluctant for me to suffer a little grievance." ”

Liao's father nodded with deep sympathy, his baby girl, he is not at ease when he hands it over to anyone!

The father and daughter had already thrown aside the doll that Grandma Liao had mentioned.
