The blue sky gradually turned dark, and the earth and mountains seemed to be covered with a gray veil and became hazy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Smoke rises from every household in Xujia Village, and farmers carrying hoes and farm tools can be seen everywhere on the narrow rural ridges walking home, and only the slightest smok of fireworks in the courtyard of Xu Xiangwan's house can be seen.

Chen Da and his wife both hated work, and wished that the two-day work could be done in one day, so they were still working hard in the field at this time, and did not return to Xu Xiangwan's house.

Except for Xiao Lie's occasional whimpering and occasional "quack" sounds, there was hardly any movement in the house.

Several people in the hall were sitting or standing quietly at this time, and the air seemed to be half frozen and cold, so that people didn't even dare to make a sound.

After a long time, Xiao Jiu first broke the silence in the room: "Mother, is this person really my father?" These days I'm in the school, and my classmates laugh at me for being a wild seed......"

Even if Xiao Jiu is sensible, he is only a four-year-old child in the end, although he has not enjoyed the care of his father since he was a child, he does not understand the word "father", but he has a stronger desire than anyone else.

Zhang endured and endured, and finally didn't hold back the overflowing tears, Xu Xiangwan quickly took out a handkerchief, raised his head and tobed his toes to wipe it for him.

Now that Zhang is no longer as hard as he used to be in the upper room, the whole person looks a lot younger, and this crying is a little charming, Xu Zhibang saw that his heart moved, and his thoughts seemed to return to the scene when he first met.

It was on that night when the fireworks were raining down and the lights were brilliant that the delicate girl looked back and smiled under the blossoms of a tree, and the figure like a picture scroll was so deeply engraved in Xu Zhibang's heart.

But since when did that figure gradually fade from the heart? Maybe it was the moment when I saw Qin Yuru on the line of life and death? Perhaps...... Xu Zhibang shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and his eyes that were originally confused became clearer.

"Su Rui, I am the one who has failed you and made you suffer so many grievances." Xu Zhibang got up and came to Zhang's face, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, but she avoided her.

A trace of sadness flashed in Xu Zhibang's eyes, but his lips pursed, and he said abruptly: "But I really couldn't help myself at the beginning." ”

Then, Xu Zhibang told all the experiences of the past three years.

After being conscripted by the government, Xu Zhibang was sent to Ezhou to build a dam, and under the day and night work and lack of food and clothing, the original sturdy body gradually weakened. On a stormy night, the river swelled and the dam was completely washed away overnight, killing and injuring most of the workers who built it. Although Xu Zhibang knew how to drink water, his body was weak, and the flood was too big, so he fell into a coma after struggling for a while. After waking up again, Xu Zhibang found that he was rescued by the county daughter of Jianghan County, and the county commander daughter was now Qin Yuru. In the process of being washed, Xu Zhibang was seriously injured, Qin Yuru has always taken care of him personally, even if he told her many times that he already has a wife and children at home, she still does her own thing, and even proposes that as long as she can be by his side, even if it is just a concubine, she is willing. After getting along with each other day after day, Qin Yuru was already born as beautiful as a flower, and she was willing to bow down in front of him, and over time, Xu Zhibang naturally moved that thought. In order to repay Qin Yuru for saving her life, Xu Zhibang married Qin Yuru as a flat wife, and it didn't take long for him to give birth to a son, Xu Chenghong, who was only one and a half years old.

Xu Zhibang wanted to go back to the Xu family as soon as possible, but first, he felt ashamed of the Zhang family, and secondly, Qin Yuru's parents treasured their daughter, and they were afraid that Qin Yuru would come back with him and be wronged, so they never agreed. It wasn't until this year's transfer order was issued, just after Qin Yuru's father was transferred to Ganquan County to serve as a county magistrate, that they moved their family to Ganquan County, and Xu Zhibang was able to return to Xujia Village.

Although he knew that Xu Zhibang also had his own helplessness, Xu Xiangwan still didn't think so. Judging from the fact that he can calmly accept Qin Yuru as his wife and has not consulted Zhang's opinion at all, he does not have much respect for Zhang.

At least in Xu Xiangwan's view, Zhang's dedication and love for Xu Zhibang far exceeded his love for Zhang, and it was his selfishness and affection that made Zhang's suffer.

"Su Rui, now that I'm back, I just want our family to be reunited and live together in peace. Although I am only a small scribe in the county government now, although my salary is thin, I can make our family eat and drink without worry. Xu Zhibang looked at Zhang's eyes with a thick sense of apology, and his tone softened a lot.

In the end, it is the man who he has loved deeply for so many years and is willing to give his whole life to him, Xu Zhibang's experience, Zhang burst into tears after a gentle speech, most of the knots in his heart were relieved, and his gaze at Xu Zhibang became tender again.

Looking at Zhang like this, Xu Xiangwan couldn't help but sigh, she didn't want them to reunite as husband and wife, but didn't Zhang know that there was always an outsider between them? Is she really willing to serve Qin Yuru with a husband? What's more, that Qin Yuru is not good at first glance, but she is young and beautiful, and she firmly holds Xu Zhibang's heart in her hands, if she really lives with them, can the Zhang family not be wronged? Even if Xu Zhibang would treat her well at the beginning because of guilt or former affection, but what about later?

At least if it were Xu Xiangwan, she wouldn't be able to serve a husband with others. Although those rich and noble families are full of wives and concubines, who is not monogamous in the Zhuang family, she can't accept sharing her husband with others.

"Later, let's ......" Zhang looked at Xu Xiangwan with a pleading look in his eyes.

Xu Xiangwan is very satisfied with her current family life, and she doesn't want outsiders to disturb her quiet life, so she wanted to refuse Zhang's fiercely, but looking at her ruddy eyes, Xu Xiangwan's heart softened again.

was about to speak, but Xu Qiuyi grabbed the topic: "Mother, are you willing to give up the home we have worked so hard to run to outsiders?" Our dad wants to go home, and I don't have a word for myself. But if an outsider comes, first of all, I won't be able to pass this level. When we split up, we only divided one hundred copper coins, three acres and two cents of land, at that time, my mother was pushed at the corner of the table and broke her head, and she almost died, and those copper plates were just enough for my mother's medicine. Now there is such a family like this, all because of the late life risking his life to go to the mountains to collect medicine. ”

Although Xiao Jiu also wanted to have a father, but when he thought that his father would come back with his stepmother, he was naturally unhappy, so he nodded and said: "It's okay for my father to come back, but I don't want my stepmother, my stepmother will not only bully me, but also bully our mother." ”

Zhang's eyes are not happy to see the children, and she can't tell what it feels like, the husband and wife have been separated for three years, but they have already been wrong, and Xu Zhibang in front of her is still as handsome as ever, but she feels that she has already been tormented by life.

In all fairness, Zhang felt that he was Xu Zhibang, and he would probably also like the young and beautiful Qin Yuru, and would not take a second look at himself.

Now that the former relationship has deteriorated, there is no point in staying strong, it will only make people more bitter. (To be continued.) )
