Xiao Sanye settled the boss and let his son-in-law go home first.

"It's okay if your grandfather wants to live here, but he will be idle when he goes back anyway. I didn't see the boss being discharged from the hospital alive, even if he went back, he was not sure. You're busy with work, so just go back first. By the way, let your mother-in-law rest assured, I'll wait for the boss to be discharged from the hospital. By the way, after you go back, help me contact Dingsheng, that stinky boy, who said something excessive to his father. Now that he is injured in bed, he should always show his face as a son, right?"

Xiang Gang returned to Xiashan with his father-in-law's entrustment.

After arriving home, he first reported his safety to his daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, and then pinched the phone number written to him by his father-in-law, and went to the regiment commander's office to call his nominal brother-in-law.

However, the phone was dialed, but Xiao Dingsheng was not in the army, and it was said that Shen was transferred to the northwest and would not be able to contact him for a while.

Xiang Gang called Li Jianshu in Yuncheng.

That's good when the post office works – it's easy to make and receive calls.

Tuo Li Jianshu conveyed the news to his father-in-law, and Xiang had just been pulled by the head of the regiment to discuss the recent stage of the regimental work, and walked to the big playground while chatting shoulder-to-shoulder:

"By the way, you have relatives living in Xiashan Town, why didn't you say it earlier?" Chen Jiang said on Xiang Gang's shoulder, "I knew that when the regiment assigned a joint mission to be close to the people, I wouldn't have arranged to go to Nanyang Mountain." ”

Xiang Gang was confused when he heard this: "I don't have any relatives in Xiashan Town, where did you hear that? A while ago, my father-in-law's family moved to the town, but don't you know about this?"

"Of course I do. I'm talking about another relative, a woman, who is about the same age as your mother-in-law. It seems that the day before yesterday, when I asked about our compound, my daughter-in-law happened to be washing clothes on the patio and chatting with her. The other party said that it was your relative, who moved to the town a few years ago, and learned that you were in July 13 not long ago. However, my daughter-in-law asked her to go upstairs to find Xiaoshu, she didn't squeak, stood for a while and left. ”

Xiang Gang thought about it carefully, but he still didn't remember that any relatives in his hometown had moved to Xiashan Town.

It stands to reason that even if they are not relatives, they are just fellow villagers, and if they can move to the provincial capital, in the eyes of the old family, it will be very promising. I'll always hear about it. No matter how bad it is, it is impossible for the secretary not to know, right?

"Forget it, if you are really a fellow and live in the town, there will always be a chance to meet. It's good that I'm assigned to Nanyang Mountain, so you don't need to transfer me back. Xiang Gang said.

I was afraid that Chen Jiang would transfer him back from Nanyang Mountain out of care, which would disrupt his and Xia Lao's plans.

When Chen Jiang heard him say this, he let him go.

After finishing work, Xiang Gang went home first, and his daughter-in-law had dinner at his mother-in-law's, and told him before going out in the morning, asking him to go there after finishing work.

Remembering that the water tank at home is shallow, at this point, most people are either cooking or eating at home, and there are few people at the wellhead, so they take a flat pole and a bucket, and fill the water tank with water. By the way, I took a shower, changed out of my sweaty vest, put on the crewneck undershirt that my daughter-in-law bought for me, threw on the bicycle with long legs, and was about to pedal to my mother-in-law's house for dinner and pick up my daughter-in-law.

"Someone is looking for you at the gate, and you came the day before yesterday, but you weren't there at that time. Today, I learned that you are back, and I am sitting in the sentry box, and I have to say a few words to you. Xiaohu ran over to salute and report.

Xiang Gangjun raised his eyebrows, got off the bike, and pushed it instead.

I wondered in my heart that Lao Xiang's family really had relatives who moved here to settle here a few years ago? But it doesn't make sense that the secretary of the hometown would not know. It is impossible not to tell him if you are in the know. Who could it be? He claimed to be his relative, but he didn't move to the provincial capital.

In the middle of a while, the sentry box is in front of you.

"Are you Gangzi?" A woman who was about the same age as Jiang Xinrou brushed her bangs and came out of the sentry box in her clothes, the surprise between her words was self-evident, and she even wanted to step forward and take Xiang Gang's hand.

Xiang Gang subconsciously dodged, glanced at the other party, and frowned deeply: "May I ask who you are ......?"

"I'm ......," the woman opened her mouth, then looked around, and said to Xiang Gang awkwardly, "Why don't you go to the side and talk?"

Xiang Gang parked his bicycle by the sentry box and followed the woman to the camphor tree opposite the gate.

"In a blink of an eye, you've grown so tall and strong. With tears in her eyes, the woman looked Xiang Gang up and down and said, "I heard that I have married a daughter-in-law, which girl's family is from the same village?

Xiang Gang's body was shocked.

When he was four years old, he couldn't endure the hardships of his family and ran away with the technicians who went to the countryside to investigate?

"Gangzi, are you still blaming the mother?" The woman saw Xiang Gang standing quietly, with a cold aura that was difficult to get close to, covered her mouth, and said with a crying voice, "At that time, I didn't want to leave you behind, it's really ......"

Xiang Gang came back to his senses, his face was neither sad nor joyful, and he only said lightly: "I don't want to mention the past again." "That wound finally scabbed, why tear it alive?

What's more, no matter how hard and difficult the days are, grandpa must be very relieved to see their growth under the spring, why bother with those unpleasant experiences.

He now has a virtuous daughter-in-law, a sensible mother-in-law, and two babies who are about to be born.

Looking at the nominal mother-in-law, looking at her dress, not like a poor family, it can be seen that life should not be bad.

In this case, let's continue to let these two parallel lines continue to follow the trajectory of the past two decades, why do we have to deliberately intersect?

However, when the woman heard his words, she covered her face and cried sadly: "Can't you forgive me? But I also have a hard time, you don't know how hard it is for the burden of the family to be on my shoulders alone. At that time, I really couldn't hold on, I ......"

"I know. Xiang Gang interrupted her with a faint expression, "After you ran away, I tasted that." ”

And that year, he was only four years old. Weak shoulders carry the livelihood of the family. So he can understand, but he can't accept it. As a mother and the only daughter-in-law of a sick old man, her behavior made him feel ashamed.

But so many years have passed, and the good and bad have been endured, and I don't want to pursue it anymore.

Whether her life after running away with someone back then was as relaxed and comfortable as she began to think, it had nothing to do with him.

Xiang Gang glanced at the other party with a calm gaze, turned around and returned to the sentry box, pushed the bicycle, straddled his long legs, and struggled towards his mother-in-law's house.

The evening breeze blows slowly, blowing on people, slightly cool, but not cold. Because his heart is hot, there are relatives waiting for him to return late.
