CHAPTER XXVII

To tell the truth, Yu Xiaoli did not have much grief for the death of her grandmother Huang Qiufang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The reasons are, first, Huang Qiufang is not her own grandmother, and Xiaoli naturally can't love her deeply; The second is because she hates Chen Agen, and this grandmother is the mother who gave birth to this shameless person, so she is naturally angry with her. So Xiaoli basically didn't cry about her grandmother's departure, but just attended her funeral in a situation. After that, she did what she had to do as if nothing was right.

Time is like an arrow, the four seasons are reincarnated, and I don't realize that another year has passed, Chen Agen has been in the hospital for more than a month in this year, and has been hospitalized twice, the first time is in the big hospital in the provincial capital for more than a month, and the second time is in the town's health center, these two hospital treatments are only accompanied by Yu Xianglan alone, Xiaoli didn't even go to see it once, Chen Agen understood the reason why Xiaoli didn't come to see him; Yu Xianglan understood the resentment in her daughter's heart, so the two of them tried not to mention Xiaoli as much as possible, let alone say something to blame. As for her younger brother Xiaoqiang, Xiaoli's heart is often worried, although she and Xiaoqiang are only half-sisters and brothers, but Xiaoqiang is what she watched and grew up, so her feelings for Xiaoqiang are still very deep, fortunately, now add an Oriental Li Yan's love and concern for Xiaoqiang, from this girl's mobile phone information, Xiaoli learned that Xiaoqiang is studying and living very well, and she feels extremely relieved. However, "there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck", just when Chen Agen gradually improved, Yu Xianglan was a little relaxed, and Xiaoli was relatively comfortable, suddenly a bad news came from a public security bureau in the city where Chen Xiaoqiang studied. Just after 9 a.m. on September 28, 2006, Yu Xianglan's home phone rang rapidly, and Yu Xianglan hurriedly ran from the kitchen to the living room and picked up the telephone receiver: "Hey, is this Chen Xiaoqiang's home?" ”

"yes, I'm, where are you?"

"I am the F City Public Security Bureau, your son Chen Xiaoqiang participated in the fight between classmates in the school, and also stabbed a student with a knife, the circumstances are particularly serious, and now he has been arrested by our public security organs, and he will be sentenced soon."

"Ah, how could this happen, is the crime serious? Was the injured person in danger of life? ”

"Life is saved, but Chen Xiaoqiang's behavior has constituted a crime, your family must come to listen to the handling opinions, and he will be tried after the eleventh long holiday, you are ready to send two people, and you must be an immediate family."

"Okay, let's come, we're here, thank you." Yu Xianglan's voice began to tremble as she spoke, and at this time, Chen Agen just slipped back from the street, and he heard all this telecommunications conversation, and her slightly sickly face suddenly became extremely painful and sad, and even her tone of voice stammered: "Xiang, Xianglan, Xiao, Xiaoqiang has an accident?" ”

"Yes, he got into a fight with his classmates and stabbed someone with a knife, and the F City Public Security Bureau let us go to our house."

"Ah, this kid, how can he be so nonsense, he didn't stab him to death, if he stabbed him to death, then he won't be able to live, okay, I'll go with you."

"Can you go, can your body withstand long bumps? I went to Xiaoli to discuss it and see what her opinion was. ”

"Okay, I'll go with you to find Xiaoli." Chen Agen said that he was going to find Xiaoli together, Yu Xianglan looked at him, thinking that Xiaoli, aren't you looking for yourself to be bored? But this matter is too serious, Yu Xianglan can't care about right and wrong, so she walked to Xiaoli's shop with Chen Agen one after another without objection.

Xiaoli, who was sitting in the store resting and waiting for customers, saw her mother stepping into the store, and immediately stood up with a smile, but when she saw Chen Agen, who was following behind, also entered the store, the smile on her face instantly dispersed, and she became very cold, and when she was about to ask why he came with her, Yu Xianglan immediately waved her hand and said to her: "Don't ask anything first, listen to me tell you, Xiaoqiang has an accident, something big happened, he fought with his classmates at school, and used a knife to stab a classmate, Now that he has been arrested by the Public Security Bureau, he may have to be sentenced, so let our family send someone. ”

"Ah, Xiaoqiang is really lawless, he has caused such a big disaster, this is harming others and himself, so what should we do? He must be sentenced to prison, and he will not be able to go to school. Xiaoli said anxiously.

"It's inevitable to be imprisoned, and the student status will definitely not be kept, Xiaoqiang is completely finished now." Yu Xianglan said again.

"The student status must be gone, there is such a big thing, the school still doesn't expel him, this kid is too worry-free." Chen Agen also said.

"Woo, woo......." At this time, Dongfang Li Yan's cry came, and the more she cried, the louder she became, the more she cried, the more sad she became, Xiaoli They remembered that there was also a Xiaoqiang object Dongfang Li Yan was also in the store, Xiaoli saw this situation, and thought that this was in the store, so that the customers saw that it was not like words, so she quickly said to a few of them: "Let's go upstairs and say, this is a small shop, and the customers are not in a proper manner." After speaking, she pulled Dongfang Li Yan, Chen Agen, and Yu Xianglan, who were crying, and walked to the second floor. This is the first time since Xiaoli opened the store, Chen Agen walked into the store and sat in the living room on the second floor.

After a few people went upstairs, Dongfang Li Yan still lowered her head, covered her face and kept crying, Xiaoli affectionately stretched out her arms and hugged her, and her own tears also flowed down, she didn't know what words to use to comfort and persuade her, so she could only accompany her to cry.

Yu Xianglan looked at this girl she liked with all her heart, and thought that her son was not angry, so she said to Dongfang Li Yan very painfully: "Dongfang girl, don't be too sad, Xiaoqiang is self-inflicted, he can't complain about anyone, he is not worthy of your love, and he can't afford to be so sad for you, if you break up with him, we will never blame you." ”

"Yes, Li Yan, Xiaoqiang doesn't study well, he doesn't have the blessing to have your love anymore, he didn't succeed in his studies, but he gave up halfway, if such an object is divided, don't be too sad for him." Xiaoli also said with her mother's meaning.

It's really "knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts" Xiaoli and Yu Xianglan completely misinterpreted Dongfang Li Yan's meaning, she suddenly raised her head after hearing their words, wiped away her tears, and said to them sentence by sentence: "No, no, no, you think wrong, I won't break up with Xiaoqiang, he must be strong in blood, and he only helps when he is uneven, I understand him, but his shot this time is too outrageous, he is chivalrous and courageous, sticking a knife in the ribs for his friend, I love him, I have always loved him deeply, and I will wait for him, No matter how many years he is sentenced, I will wait for him, uncle, aunt, sister, please believe in me and accept me with all your heart. ”

"Ah, Li Yan, you moved me so much, let me admire, I can't imagine that you have such a broad mind at such a young age, I am happy for Xiaoqiang, and I feel lucky for my whole family, your love is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Xiaoqiang, and it will definitely be able to exchange for his courage to be a new person, if we bring this information to Xiaoqiang, he will definitely be full of hope to reform well, and strive to return from prison as soon as possible to reunite with you and us."

Yu Xianglan's eyes were full of tears at this time, she walked over and held Dongfang Li Yan's hand tightly, and her words were so excited that she couldn't spit out clearly: "Dong, Dongfang girl, I'm so moved, I don't know what to say to you, as Xiaoqiang's mother, I sincerely welcome you, welcome you to become a member of our family, and when Xiaoqiang is out of prison, I will organize a wedding for you, so that you can become my veritable daughter-in-law." It's just that I'm still a little worried that your parents will agree to this. ”

"It is my own choice and responsibility to choose my lover and start a family, and my parents have no right to interfere, but for the time being, I don't want to tell them, so as not to cause trouble, and my parents are a little patriarchal, their hopes and energy are on my brother Dongfang Li Yong, they care very little about my affairs, but even if this is the case, I must hide it from them, and I will tell them when it is time to say it." Dongfang Li Yan said firmly.

"Oriental girl, I am already a person who will die soon, please look at the face of a person who is about to pass away, accept my deep respect for you, I thank you, and sincerely wish you, I wish you and Xiaoqiang happiness." Chen Agen, who was full of tears, also said excitedly.

"Thank you, thank you uncle, aunt, Sister Xiaoli, Xiaoqiang is a good man who knows his heart and lungs, knows cold and heat, dares to think and act, and dares to take responsibility, I will not give up on him, my love with him has been engraved in the depths of each other's hearts, I will stick to this love until he returns from prison. It's just that at this moment I really want to see him and confess my love for him to him in person, so I have a request, that is, to see him this time, can you also take me? Dongfang Li Yan pleaded.

"This shouldn't work, the call from the Public Security Bureau is to let us go to the two immediate family members, at present, you and Xiaoqiang have not yet obtained the certificate, so they are not immediate family members for the time being, I can't take you this time, so let me and Xiaoli go to see him first, don't worry, girl, we will definitely bring your love to him, and when he is really sentenced and stabilized, we will take you there, okay?" Yu Xianglan said warmly.

"Okay, tell Xiaoqiang, I'm waiting for him, let him not make mistakes again and again, take care of his body, transform well, and strive to come back and marry me as soon as possible." Dongfang Li Yan said with tears in her eyes.

"How can Xiaoli go away, this small shop can't do without her, or I'll go with you." Chen Agen said to Yu Xianglan.

"Don't make any more trouble, so far away, how can you go, your body will definitely not be able to withstand it, in case you ...... in the middle of the road, then Mom is going to take care of that end, or will my mother and I go to see it first." Xiaoli said.

"It doesn't matter, I'm much better, and I definitely won't have an accident halfway." Chen Agen is still strong.

"Dad, don't fight anymore, mom and I will go back quickly, you take care of yourself at home." Xiaoli's re-pronounced title after nine years flattered Chen Agen, and tears rolled down in her eyes, and there was no reason to insist on her opinion.

The next thing is that Xiaoli handed over the work of the store to the four employees, and designated Yan Xin, the eldest of them, as the temporary responsibility, and then instructed the two girls to suspend the mask and massage business, and wholeheartedly assist Yan Xin and Lu Ning to do a good job of haircuts and perms, do not have conflicts with customers, and put patience first. In this way, under the thousands of instructions, thousands of instructions, thousands of words of assurance, and thousands of words of reassurance, Xiaoli and Yu Xianglan rushed to F City on the afternoon of October 13, first by car, and then by reversing the train, after a long journey of more than ten hours, they arrived at the F City Public Security Bureau on the morning of the 14th, and then met with a young and middle-aged police officer who was responsible for the investigation and handling of Xiaoqiang's case after inquiry, and learned from the police officer's narration and introduction: Chen Xiaoqiang is a good friend in the same class. snatched the dagger that another classmate held to stab the good friend, and stabbed the person instead, stabbing the person with a knife, although the person was not stabbed to death, but it caused a lot of damage to the person, and it is very likely to leave the person with lifelong regrets, the circumstances are particularly serious, and it has caused a bad impact in the school, so the school gave Chen Xiaoqiang the treatment of expulsion from school, and the public security organs also conducted a comprehensive investigation into the case, which should have been heavily sentenced, but later because of the consideration that the dagger was not taken by Chen Xiaoqiang first, In addition, he had a good attitude in admitting his guilt and his consistent performance in school was also good, so he was given a lenient sentence and sentenced to seven years in prison. After the facts of the case were clarified, Xiaoli's mother and daughter thanked the police officer, and rushed to the prison by bus for more than an hour, and waited outside the iron window of the visitation room for more than ten minutes, and finally saw Chen Xiaoqiang, who was wearing prison clothes and handcuffs, and had a dirty face.

"Mom, sister, wow......". As soon as Xiao Qiang saw them calling, he cried loudly.

"Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang, don't cry yet, don't cry, if you have anything to say to me and my sister, there is not much time, so you can't delay." Yu Xianglan's mouth was very hard, but tears kept flowing from her eyes.

"Mom, sister, I'm done, I'm completely finished, I can't go to college, I have to squat here for seven years, after seven years, I have achieved nothing, there is no diploma, there is no technology, how to be a person, how to start a family, and glorify my ancestors." Xiaoqiang said while crying.

"Xiaoqiang, don't say these frustrating words, a misstep into a thousand years of hatred, if you want to turn back, you can't, you have violated the law, you should have the courage to bear it, now it's too late to say anything, you must treat it correctly, you must not lose your mind, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, who is not frustrated in his life, does not take the road of change, you have to face it bravely, honestly transform here, be reborn, be a new person, seven years will pass quickly, by then you will not be more than twenty-seven years old, the road ahead is still long, There will still be a future, there are still opportunities for career success, you can't be sluggish, so you are equivalent to sprinkling another handful of salt on my mother's wounds, do you want me and my mother to be depressed with you? Xiaoli said bitterly. ”

"Sister, what future do I have, how can I achieve my career, my school status is gone, my love must be lost, seven years later, I will appear in front of my hometown as a prison prisoner, what face do I have to live in the world." Xiaoqiang said in frustration.

"Nonsense, who said that love is also lost, Dongfang Li Yanke is still waiting for you with all her heart, she heard that you had an accident, she cried like a tearful person, and said that she would never give up on you, and waited wholeheartedly for you to go back and marry her after you were released from prison, and asked us to take her to see you, but she is not an immediate family, so we are not good to bring her, this girl still loves you, sincerely waiting for you to go back, if you can't get up from now on, then I'm too sorry for the infatuation of other girls." Xiaoli told her honestly.

"Really? Is she still willing to wait for me, not to dislike me, not to leave me? Xiaoqiang's eyes widened as he looked at his mother and sister. A look of suspicion.

"Really, it's true, your sister and I, and your father heard her confession with our own ears." Yu Xianglan echoed affirmatively.

"That, that, then I have nothing to say, there is no reason not to reform well, with Li Yan's love, with your care and encouragement, if I don't get strong again, I will let down all my relatives, including Li Yan. Don't worry, mother, sister, I will change my ways, restrain myself from the precipice, turn back, and tell Li Yan that I love her, and I will love her forever and forever, and I am grateful to her, I will live up to her hopes, and I will strive to return to my hometown as soon as possible after completing my sentence and live a happy life with her. ”

At this point in the conversation, the visiting time is over, Xiaoqiang left the visiting room under the escort of the prison guards, and at the moment when he was leaving, the expression on his face changed from pain to smile, that is the power of family affection, that is the charm of love, that is the firm determination of a lost young man at a critical time in his life.

Xiaoli's mother and daughter watched Xiaoqiang leave with tears in their eyes, and then walked out of the prison gate with a heavy heart and difficult steps, and after casually finding a snack bar to fill their stomachs, they didn't care about rest and tirelessly rushed home, and after more than ten hours of running again, they returned to the Chen family's courtyard in Yinlong Town at more than eight o'clock in the morning of the fifteenth. However, what the mother and daughter would never have thought of was ......

When Xiaoli and Yu Xianglan just walked into the door of the living room, Xiaoli sat down on the sofa with a sense of relief, and heard Yu Xianglan, who had already stepped into her room, shouting: "Xiaoli, Xiaoli, come here, come quickly." ”

Xiaoli was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up and ran towards Yu Xianglan and Chen Agen's room, and when she arrived at the bed, Chen Agen was lying on the bed, her eyes closed, and there was no blood on her face, but her chest was still panting slightly, as if she still had a breath. Yu Xianglan shook his body in a panic, and kept calling out in her mouth: "Agen, Agen, what's the matter, didn't you promise me to take good care of myself?" I've only been gone for two days, why are you like this? ”

"Daddy, Daddy, wake up, talk, talk." Xiaoli also shouted nervously.

At this time, Chen Agen, whose face was like a blank piece of paper, opened his eyes with great difficulty, and looked at them dementedly for a long time, and then said softly and intermittently: "You guys are back, Xiao, Xiaoqiang are okay?" ”

"Xiaoqiang is good, Xiaoqiang has already said that he wants to reform well, be a new person, and strive to get out of prison and go home as soon as possible, but why are you like this, are you not eating, I will do it for you." Yu Xianglan said very sadly.

"Yes, yes, I haven't eaten water and rice since you left, you don't have to do anything for me anymore, I can't eat anymore, I don't have the courage to continue living, Xiaoqiang is in prison, what interest do I have in stealing life again, Xianglan, I can't drag you down anymore, just let me go, Xiaoli, I'm sorry for you, I'm still alone after I hurt you, I'm sinful, what face do I have to live in the world, I don't ask you to forgive, I just ask you to take care of and be filial to your mother, take Xiaoqiang well, and educate him well, The sins I have committed against you have tormented me for so many years, and now it is time to accept retribution, and it will be equivalent to liberation when I leave, you don't have to be sad, and don't tell Xiaoqiang the news that I am leaving, he can't help himself at this time, let him settle down and reform it well. Thank you Dongfang girl for me, she made me see the hope of the future of the Chen family, and I am grateful to her from the bottom of my heart. In addition, after I passed away, you sold the Chen family's courtyard and the shops along the street, saved the funds, and waited for Xiaoqiang to come back to him as capital, so that he could do a small business in a proper manner, I am not a good father, and I have not been able to leave any property to my son, only this house, please be sure to do what I want, after the house is sold, Xianglan will live with Xiaoli, otherwise I will leave, wouldn't it be too lonely for you to live here alone. Okay, that's all, I'm tired and want to take a break...... Chen Agen didn't have the strength to say any more, closed his eyes again, and waited for death to come. He was so ashamed that he chose to abandon the world, and from this moment on, he entered the last time when he had an outing but not in, which is really "people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death." ”

"When a man is dying, his words are good, and when a bird is dying, his song is also mourning." Chen Agen's deathbed confession is also really touching, looking at his whole body can be summarized into three sentences: the first sentence is that he has raised and loved Xiaoli for more than ten years, and his kindness is respectable; The second sentence is that he shamelessly did bestial things to Xiaoli when she was seventeen years old, and his sin is hateful; The third sentence is that he lived in self-reproach for nine whole years because of that incident, and his deeds are sad. With this respect, hatred, and sorrow, he didn't have the courage to continue to stay in the world, so when Yu Xianglan was not around, he didn't eat or drink, and was bent on death, which was also a bit heroic.

Yu Xianglan heard Chen Agen's sad last words, and she could no longer support her legs and sat on the ground, tears flowing down from her eyes and her old face. How many tears are made in her eyes, I am afraid it can be compared to rivers, lakes and seas.

Xiaoli couldn't control a few tears after hearing this, she bent down and helped her mother up very hard, and then hugged her silently out of the room and sat in the living room. Who is Xiaoli's tears shed for at this moment, for Chen Agen? Not exactly, but for whom? I won't analyze it here.

The next day, that is, at about two o'clock in the morning on October 16, Chen Agen finally vomited all his remaining gas, with a sick body, with sin, and with the courage to die to see Lord Yama, and then the body farewell, cremation, burial and other matters, in these trivial aftermath dishes, Dongfang Li Yan once again participated as a quasi-daughter-in-law, her behavior is to fulfill Chen Xiaoqiang's filial piety and obligations, but also to comfort Chen Agen on Huangquan Road, and let Yu Xianglan and Xiaoli feel gratified.

Time came to the afternoon of October 18, after dealing with Chen Agen's funeral, only Yu Xianglan and Xiaoli who took the initiative to stay with their mother were left in the small courtyard of the Chen family, the mother and daughter looked at each other, but they were silent, neither of them could think of what words to comfort each other, it can really be said: "At this time, silence is better than sound, and the Tao is ruthless but affectionate." ”

After a few minutes of inattention, after a terrible silence, Xiaoli broke the reins and said to her mother: "Mom, I'll take a bath, you always rest here, don't go there." ”

Yu Xianglan nodded mechanically to indicate that she understood.

Xiaoli stood up and walked into the bathroom, and after nine years, Xiaoli washed her body in the bathroom again. The mood of this flushing is very different from the one nine years ago, and the feelings of the last time naturally do not need to be recounted, but what is the mood of this time? Whether it is pleasant or sad can not be guessed, in short, she silently washed over and over again, whether to wash away the mildew or wash off what is unknown, she is in that small space, washing and washing all over her body, a pair of jade hands keep sliding on all parts of the body, such a beautiful, heaven-made female carcass is undoubtedly undoubted.

After a month, Xiaoli and her mother made an appointment with Dongfang Li Yan on the second floor of the store to discuss the sale of the Chen family's courtyard, Xiaoli first said: "Chen Agen has left, I have been living in that courtyard with my mother for a month, but my work and career are here, I can't always accompany my mother, if I let my mother live there alone, one is too lonely and lonely, and the other is that I am not at ease, so I consider selling that courtyard, this is also Chen Agen's last wish, what do you think?" ”

"Sell that little courtyard and where I live? Although it is deserted, I have lived there for so many years, I am used to it, and what about where Xiaoqiang will settle down after he comes back? Yu Xianglan asked a little puzzled.

"I also thought about this problem, sell the small courtyard, and then buy this small building from the Zheng family, the price of the two houses may be a little different, if it is more, it will stay for my mother to support the elderly, if it is not enough for me to make up for it, I have saved some money over the years, and it should not be a problem to make up for the difference between the two rooms, and when Xiaoqiang returns from prison, let him learn technology from me in the store, and after I finish learning, I will give him this small second floor and the entire storefront, and then he and Li Yan's marriage will be done, In this way, you have a source of living and a workplace, your mother will live with your little husband and wife, and then build the courtyard at the back into a bungalow, Xiaoqiang and his wife live upstairs, and my mother lives in the bungalow built at the back. Xiaoli thought about it and said comprehensively.

"Sister, where do you live in this case? The shop was also given to us, and where did you settle down? Dongfang Li Yan asked.

"I went to the provincial capital to accompany my father, seven years later he was in his sixties, as his only daughter, I should also go to his side to fulfill my obligations, respect and filial piety, and there are still seven years to go, seven years after I have a lot of money in my hands, I have technology, I can find the opportunity to open a small shop in the city, so that my mother has you to take care of, to solve my worries, I go to take care of my father, isn't it the best of both worlds, peace of mind?" Xiaoli said with sincerity.

"It's very good to arrange it like this, but it's a big loss to you, this small shop was founded and maintained by you, and it was all given to Xiaoqiang and them, isn't it too wronged by you?" Yu Xianglan couldn't bear to say.

"Yes, sister, how can I bear to do this, Xiaoqiang will not agree, you sacrificed yourself and made such careful arrangements for me and Xiaoqiang's future work and life, I really don't know what words to use to express my gratitude to you." Dongfang Li Yan held Xiaoli's hand with tears in her eyes and said.

"Li Yan, don't say that, who is Xiaoqiang, who are you, you are all my dearest relatives, can you not care about Xiaoqiang being in prison, and willingly wait for him, such a fearless spirit makes me admire and sincerely grateful, so it is me who should say thank you, as a sister, shouldn't I sacrifice some and contribute some for you, Xiaoqiang took a detour, and endured seven years of imprisonment, and when he came out, shouldn't we arrange a good living and working environment for him? Is he making trouble? Li Yan, at that time, my mother and Xiaoqiang will all ask you to take care of and love, as long as you can take good care of them, it will be my greatest gratitude. Xiaoli said sincerely.

"Don't worry, sister, my mother is my mother, Xiaoqiang is the person I entrust for life, I can't compensate him for the pain he has to endure in prison, but after I come out, I will definitely love him wholeheartedly, help him, take care of him, and I will also do my daughter-in-law's obligations to filial piety to her and serve her." Dongfang Li Yan confessed affectionately.

"This is great, mom don't have any worries, after that small courtyard is sold, you will live here, live in the back room with me, and change this living room into a dormitory for Li Yan and Wang Yaqin to live in, so that the four of us eat and live together, isn't it a beautiful thing? Mom, if you want, I will quit the cooking master, and you will cook for us, and we all love to eat your food very much. Xiaoli said affectionately to her mother.

"I'm willing, willing, now that Chen Agen and his mother are gone, wouldn't I have to die alone in that empty house? I can live with you and help you cook, I am not alone and have something to do, but I can't ask for it. Yu Xianglan said happily.

The matter was settled, and Xiaoli's mother and daughter and Dongfang Li Yan reached a consensus with joy.

First of all, she and her mother went to Chen's shop, and notified the middle-aged couple who rented the shop of the idea of selling the shop and the back yard house, which was intended to make them prepared, and never thought that the couple was very happy to sell to them, and the two parties hit it off, so they bargained, negotiated repeatedly, and finally negotiated to buy the house at a price of 350,000 yuan, and then went through the handover procedures with the relevant departments, and the buyer paid off the house in a lump sum, Chen's small courtyard and Chen's small shop changed to his surname. Yu Xianglan lived on the second floor of the small under the several moves of Xiaoli and all the staff of the beauty salon, and got along with her daughter, prospective daughter-in-law and three other employees day and night, eating and living together. Next, Xiaoli went to the provincial capital successively, and reached a purchase agreement with the Zheng family with the support of her father Hong Fusheng and her good friend Fang Hui's pillow wind, and temporarily attributed the second floor of the Zheng family in Yinlong Town to Yu Xianglan's name at a one-time price of 500,000 yuan, and said to Dongfang Li Yan, and when Xiaoqiang came back, they would add the names of the two of them after they got married, and finally all the formalities were completed, and the original Zheng's small second floor became the common property of Yu Xianglan and her son Chen Xiaoqiang and future daughter-in-law Dongfang Li Yan. Xiaoli, her mother, and Dongfang Li Yan were very happy, and they were very proud to set up camp in that small second floor.

On the afternoon of the third day, November 26, 2006, after all the transactions were completed, Xiaoli took Dongfang Li Yan to the prison where Chen Xiaoqiang was serving his sentence in F City again to visit her brother and dear people.

Chen Xiaoqiang walked into the visitation room, and met Xiaoli and Dongfang Li Yan through the iron window, this time his expression was happy rather than sad, he first stretched out his handcuffed hands from the iron railing, holding Dongfang Li Yan's slender jade hand with one hand, and holding his sister's warm hand with the other, and said in a particularly excited tone: "Sister, Li Yan, you are here, you have worked the road, I hurt you, let you come all the way to come here to see me." ”

"Xiaoqiang, don't say anything discouraged, we are your relatives, it is reasonable to come to visit you, you can't feel uneasy, you can't bear her, a manly man, if you fall, get up quickly, Li Yan's back body is still counting on you to accompany you." Xiaoli said affectionately.

"I know, I know, it's because of Li Yan's love and the care of my relatives that I have hope and hope, I have performed very well here, and I am expected to get a commutation, I am already sorry for Li Yan, and there will be no more failures to her, sister, you can rest assured, my parents will all ask you to care more for me." Li Yan, I love you, and I will definitely use my life to repay the love and encouragement you gave me. Xiao Qiang said warmly.

Dongfang Li Yan put her face on Xiao Qiang's big hand, tears swirled in her beautiful eyes, stared at Xiao Qiang through her moist eyeballs and said: "Xiao Qiang, I love you too, I often revel in the warmth and love you give me when you go back from vacation, you behave well, strive to be released from prison early, I am waiting to be your wife." My sister has decided that when you go back, she will give her little shop to the two of us to take care of, and you will learn all the beauty and hair salon techniques as soon as you return home, and we will enjoy a happy life while doing business in that small second floor. Mom and Dad not only have my sister there, but I also help take care of it, so you can accept the transformation with peace of mind. ”

"Sister, give us the shop, where are you going, although I am not angry, I can't rob my sister of my job." Xiaoqiang said to Xiaoli in horror.

"Who said that you robbed me of my job, after you go back, I will go to my biological father's side to be filial and serve his old man, after I leave, the small shop will not be handed over to my brother and daughter-in-law, is it difficult to hand it over to outsiders?" Xiaoli said sternly.

"Ah, sister, have you really decided to do this?"

"Yes, do you have an opinion?"

"No, no, no, conscientious filial piety is the principle of heaven in the world, brother, I admire you, but I am too surprised, you are the best sister in the world, I will never put the career you created in me, oh, it is in the hands of me and Li Yan, I will go back and learn technology from you seriously, and then work together with Li Yan to carry forward the career you founded, and I will also fulfill the responsibility of a son by my father and mother's side." Sister, Li Yan, you are sending me good news and spring breeze today, I am so happy, I assure you that Chen Xiaoqiang will be a brand-new Chen Xiaoqiang in seven years, a man who stands up to the sky, and a person who has contributed to his career and family. ”

Seeing that this drinking order stopped, Xiaoqiang was taken out of the visiting room, and this time leaving, Xiaoqiang's performance made his sister and lover feel gratified. Xiaoli and Dongfang Li Yan did not tell Xiaoqiang the news of Chen Agen's death and the sale of the Chen family's courtyard, of course, the purpose was not to let him be too sad and cause sadness, which was really touching.

After meeting Xiaoqiang, Xiaoli and Dongfang Li Yan walked on the road back to their hometown despite their tiredness. It can really be said that it is family affection, love, love in prison, love and affection, regret, pity, pity.

CHAPTER XXVIII

The years passed uncontrollably from the town, and Yu Xiaoli grew more than three years old under the love and support of her mother, younger siblings and three other employees. The beauty salon has not changed much, and it is still operating normally for customers and business, but the difference is that the original four employees are only Dongfang Li Yan, who is looking forward to Chen Xiaoqiang's return and marriage. Yan Xin and Wang Yaqin got married and returned to Yan Xin's hometown, and opened a beauty salon about the same size in a small town near his hometown. Lu Ning also became close to his girlfriend, and took his new wife to work hard in a more developed and open special economic zone along the coast. Xiaoli's shop rehired two married men who were over 30 years old and had good skills, and a young woman from the town who had just graduated from high school and failed to get into college. In this way, the staff in the small shop is still neat and the business is thriving.

Xiaoli, who is already thirty and two, is still alone, although her appearance and figure are still not inferior to that of young and beautiful young girls, but after all, she has reached the end of puberty, so she always has a little displeasure physically and psychologically, plus Yan Xin and Wang Yaqin, Lu Ning and his girlfriend have been married, which has somewhat hit Xiaoli on emotional issues. In the past three years, Xiaoli has not had the opportunity to have a boyfriend, and even married herself, but it is all because of her commitment to Chen Xiaoqiang, so she sticks to that responsibility, and must wait for Xiaoqiang to come back, she can start a family and run a small shop independently, she will consider her own personal problems, her mother Yu Xianglan was heartbroken, and urged her countless times to solve her own problems while waiting for Xiaoqiang to return, wouldn't it be good to live and work together? But Xiaoli insisted on her own opinion, and she had to see her brother stand alone before she could take care of herself with confidence, which made her mother feel extremely distressed, but she had no choice but to let it go. Dongfang Li Yan also has the same opinion as Yu Xianglan, but Xiaoli insists on going her own way, and she is helpless. Again and again, the time was dragged to the Chinese New Year's Eve of 2010.

The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, welcomes the New Year with pride, fireworks and firecrackers come and go; Laughter and excitement can be seen everywhere. However, only Xiaoli and Yu Xianglan were left in the beauty salon, and several employees, including Dongfang Li Yan, went home to reunite with their relatives. There is a poem: "I miss my relatives every festival" Xiaoli and her mother have no joy for the New Year at all on the 30th night of the year, and some of them are full of deep thoughts about their sons and brothers.

In the evening, Xiaoli sat alone in the bedroom upstairs watching TV, Yu Xianglan casually made a few dishes in the kitchen, and then brought the dishes to the small table made of four square stools in the store, after everything was placed, she called Xiaoli upstairs to come down for dinner, Xiaoli and her mother sat face to face on both sides of the small table, the steaming dishes on the table emitted a pungent fragrance, but it could not arouse the appetite of the mother and daughter, although both of them took chopsticks, but there was no interest in sending vegetables to the mouth, but stared at each other with teary eyes. After a long period of silence, almost suffocating silence, Yu Xianglan couldn't help but speak first: "Xiaoli, eat some, today is the thirtieth night, we should be happy." ”

"Mom, Happy New Year, I wish you good health, let's eat together." Xiaoli said this with a smile on her face. The mother and daughter each took a mouthful of food and brought it to their mouths, and then Xiaoli suddenly sighed sadly: "Hey......, this young Xiaoqiang still doesn't know how to live." ”

This is really "that pot doesn't open that pot" Xiaoli said this, which made Yu Xianglan's mood even heavier, and Xiaoli also fell into the abyss of pain, can you still eat that dish? The mother and daughter put down their chopsticks in unison, looked at each other invariably, and tears rolled out of their eyes unconsciously. "Mom, I want Xiaoqiang, after the New Year, Dongfang Li Yan and I will go to see him again, what will I bring him?"

"Just do you want to, I'm going crazy, this time I'll go with you to see him, you and Li Yan went the first few times, what do you say I have to go to see my son this time, you are not allowed to object."

"Okay, I don't object, I don't object, just the two of us."

"Then when is your father going to visit the New Year?" Yu Xianglan felt that the atmosphere was too dull, so she couldn't stand it and pulled the topic to the other side.

"I went to the provincial capital on the morning of the second day of junior high school to pay New Year's greetings to my father and aunt, and by the way, I went to see Sister Fang Hui and them, can you go with me?"

"I'm not going, I can't help but be a little embarrassed to see Wu Cuicui, why bother to make people unhappy during the New Year."

"What's so embarrassing, you and your father have been separated for twenty-seven or eight years, what else can't be broken, not to mention that you haven't seen that auntie, she will only be happy if you go, and she will definitely not be unhappy, go, go, accompany me to the city to relax, save me how boring it is at home, and besides, I'm gone for the New Year, so why can't I bear to leave you here?"

"Okay, okay, depending on you, I'll also go out to be chic, and I'm about to get sick at home."

"That's right, I'll call my dad and them right now and tell them that we're going to pay their New Year's greetings on the morning of the second day of junior high school." Xiaoli picked up the mobile phone as she spoke, and when she was about to dial, she didn't expect the mobile phone to suddenly ring in advance, Xiaoli quickly turned on the call button, and just "hey" sounded, and a loud call sounded in the mobile phone: "Hey, sister, I'm Xiaoqiang." ”

"Ah, it's Xiaoqiang, how can you ......"

"Sister, I only have three minutes, don't talk first, listen to me explain to you, because today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, in prison, an exception is given to several well-behaved prisoners each for three minutes to pay New Year's greetings to their relatives, and I am also among them, so this is called."

"Oh, oh, you're okay, sister is so happy, it's better to hear your voice on Chinese New Year's Eve than anything you eat."

"I'm good, I'm good, I've had my sentence commuted for half a year, and I'm still trying to get it. How are you? How are Mom and Dad? I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year. ”

"Thank you, thank you, Mom and Dad are very good, Mom is by my side at this time, you can also say a few words to her." Xiaoli handed the phone to Yu Xianglan's hand.

But Yu Xianglan, who got the mobile phone, was already excited to say nothing, Xiaoqiang shouted vigorously over there: "Mom, Mom", and Yu Xianglan only nodded, but failed to spit out half a word, Xiaoli saw this situation, and quickly took the phone over and said to Xiaoqiang: "Xiaoqiang, my mother is so excited, I can't even speak, I'll say it to you for her, I hope you behave well, and strive to come back sooner, sister, this store is still waiting for you to take over." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, sister, I wrote it down, what about Dad, is it also by your side, let Dad say a few words?"

"Ah, Daddy...... Oh, oh, Dad just drank two glasses of wine, and he was a little drunk, so he went to sleep, you know, he can't drink, it's just a little bit of a no, and now he's sleeping soundly, so don't wake him up, okay? In short, you take care of yourself, Li Yan will treat her well for you, you can settle down and transform seriously, don't let us down again. Xiaoli told a white lie in order to hide from Xiaoqiang.

"Okay, thank you, sister, tell Li Yan that I love her, okay, when the time comes, I can't tell you anymore, I hope my sister will take care of herself." Xiaoqiang hung up the phone.

Chen Xiaoqiang's call was undoubtedly a stimulant injection for Xiaoli and Yu Xianglan, the mother and daughter suddenly doubled their spirits and were in a good mood, so they began to use delicious food, Xiaoli forgot to call her father, and it was not until after 10 o'clock in the evening that she remembered to tell her father that she and her mother went to visit the New Year in the morning of the second day of junior high school. This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner passed extremely happily under the stimulation and digestion of the stimulant and catalyst.

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, just after eight o'clock, Xiaoli and her mother were about to go to the bus station after grooming and dressing.

"Li Yan, what's the matter, didn't you let you rest at home? Why did you come so early in the morning? ”

"Hey, I'm so angry, I was questioned by my parents and sister-in-law last night, so I told them about Xiaoqiang's stabbing and injuring for my friends, but they attacked them and strongly opposed me to love Xiaoqiang again, and I was not allowed to come here to work again, so I had a big quarrel with them, and I was so angry that I didn't sleep all night, and I ran over as soon as it was dawn."

"You don't explain to them well that Xiaoqiang stabbed people negligently for his friends, which is definitely different from his character."

"Anyway, my mouth is about to wear out, but I can't convince them, so I have to choose to escape, because I won't give up Xiaoqiang no matter what, so I don't want to fight with them, so I have to resist softly."

Yu Xianglan heard Dongfang Li Yan's words, a hanging heart let go, she walked to Dongfang Li Yan's side, took her hand, and almost burst into tears and said to her: "Dongfang girl, I thank you, and thank you for Xiaoqiang, you have a heart of gold, although Xiaoqiang said that he was imprisoned, but he will be able to have you in the future, no matter how much suffering he endures, it is worth it, with you will be happy, you are Xiaoqiang's benefactor, and I and the Chen family's great benefactor, God will bless you, Xiaoqiang's father's spirit in heaven will also bless you. ”

Dongfang Li Yan heard the affectionate words of the prospective mother-in-law, and immediately felt very cordial and tightly held her mother's calloused hands with both hands, and the hearts of the prospective mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were closer at this moment. Xiaoli also came over and hugged each other with them, and was about to say anything more, when she suddenly saw two old and two young, two men and two women walking in from outside the door, Xiaoli wanted to say that it was not open today, Dongfang Li Yan rushed in front of her and said: "These four are my parents and brother and sister-in-law." ”

"Oh, it's the eldest brother and sister-in-law who are here, please come in, please come in, sit in the store, I'll make tea for you." Yu Xianglan heard that it was the prospective in-laws' family who came, so she hurriedly greeted her very warmly.

Dongfang Li Yan's father, Dongfang Youquan, is an ordinary middle-aged man in figure and appearance, but his skin is slightly dark, and it is not difficult to guess at a glance that he is a rural commoner who lives on crops, and this is also the case, he has been tending to six or seven acres of farmland all year round, but in his spare time, he also partners with people to do some work such as bricklayer work.

Mother Li Yuzhu was born quite white, and her figure was slightly higher than that of a medium-sized woman, she turned out to be a salesman in a village-run department store, she was over fifty years old, three years younger than her husband, and Dongfang Li Yan's figure and appearance were very similar to her.

His brother and sister-in-law will not go into details, in short, they are a very ordinary young couple.

After Dongfang Youquan and his wife, who were obviously angry, sat down with their son and daughter-in-law, Dongfang Li Yan introduced them and said: "This is Chen Xiaoqiang's mother, and this is his sister." ”

"Uncle, aunt, brother, sister-in-law, happy New Year, I'm sorry, I don't have New Year's goods here, so I can't bring anything to entertain you, so I can only grieve you to drink some tea." Xiaoli said to them ashamedly. Yu Xianglan brought a thermos and water cups from the kitchen to make tea for the Dongfang family one by one.

"Oh, you're welcome, we're not here to be guests, it's really because of this disobedient girl, we have to be punished with a labor prisoner, we don't agree, she quarreled with us, and ran out early in the morning, there is no way, we have to chase after us, just by the way to inform you, we are not happy with this family business, stop here, this girl will not come to work in your store in the future, please understand." Dongfang Youquan said as calmly as possible.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, and Li Yan's brother and sister-in-law, since you're here, why don't you sit down for a while, drink some tea, and listen to what we have to say, okay? If you say it's wrong, you can refute it, and you can listen to it. My son Xiaoqiang and your daughter Li Yan are in free love, no one matches each other, and they are in love first, and Xiaoqiang has an accident later, not to mention that Xiaoqiang is completely out of righteous indignation, fighting for good friends, but improper methods will cause a big disaster, this should be said to have nothing to do with his character, please be sure to consider it from this aspect. And I think that 'children and grandchildren only have children and grandchildren, don't be cattle and horses for children and grandchildren', since the younger generations have truly loved each other, and the Oriental girl does not dislike Xiaoqiang, and waits for him willingly, then should we as elders support and fulfill them, instead of blocking them and forcibly breaking them up, wouldn't that hurt the hearts of the children? Yu Xianglan was full of words, although her tone was very peaceful, but there were also a little prickly in her words.

"Although what he said is reasonable, but Xiaoqiang has violated the criminal law after all, he mishandled it and stabbed someone, then my daughter will have to wait for him for seven years, if he stabs someone to death if he is not appropriate again, won't he have to pay for his life? If he pays for his life, will he still let my daughter die for him? Dongfang Youquan replied angrily.

"Uncle, what you said is too extreme, just talk about things, there is no comparison between the two, if Xiaoqiang really stabbed someone to death, then it is impossible for us to pull your daughter on her back, Li Yan will not be stupid to wait for a person who has no possibility of survival, there is no such reason in the world." Xiaoli replied-for-tat.

"It's true that they are in free love, but at the beginning, Li Yan loved Chen Xiaoqiang, a college student, but now he has become a prison prisoner Chen Xiaoqiang, so when he comes back after he is released from prison, what if he has no diploma and no job, is it difficult for my daughter to accompany him to drink the northwest wind?" Li Yuzhu interjected.

Dongfang Li Yan heard her mother's words, and immediately couldn't hold her breath and said to her family before everyone: "Dad, mother, brother and sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about this at all, my sister has decided to give us this small building and this small shop, and when Xiaoqiang comes back, he only needs to master the haircutting and perming techniques, and he is not stupid, he can learn all of them in two or three months at most, and by then he and I not only have real estate, but also have a self-sufficient career, not to mention making a lot of money in the business of this small shop, it is more than enough to support myself." If you don't believe me, you can ask your aunt to show you the purchase agreement and the property certificate. ”

"What the Oriental girl said is true, I will go and show it to you in a while, listen to me first, his sister is not only that, but also because she wants to complete her brother's business, she has dragged down her major affairs, and now she is thirty-two years old, and she has not yet started a family, that is, she wants to bring Xiaoqiang out, and then he and the Oriental girl's marriage will be done, and she will only consider her own problems when she sees that they can run a small shop independently, and I am in good health, I can help them cook, and do logistics, In this way, won't Xiaoqiang and the Oriental girl have no worries about food and clothing in the future? Yu Xianglan told the truth.

"Dad, Mom, what else can I say, Chen Xiaoqiang has such a kind and kind mother, and a lenient sister, presumably his character will not be bad, as for the catastrophe he broke through, it is completely caused by the righteousness of his buddies, his sister does not dislike him, and is willing to wait for him, why can't we forgive him and fulfill him and his sister, besides, his sister and mother have arranged their future work and life, and arranged it so ideally, Why do we still have to be in the way, why don't we push the boat down the river and make their dreams come true. Dongfang Li Yong, who had not spoken all this time, lost no time in interjecting.

"Yes, Dad, Mom, how about college students, there are many college students who can't find jobs, can you guarantee that Chen Xiaoqiang can have real estate and career as soon as he graduates from college? Besides, he suffered from seven years in prison, and he will cherish life and love, his sister is so righteous, so for the sake of his brother and sister-in-law, we should admire and support, this is also my sister's blessing, your second elder will open up and accept this family business. Sister-in-law Luo Yan also echoed her husband and said.

At this time, Yu Xianglan took the purchase agreement and property right certificate from the second floor, and said while handing it to Dongfang Youquan and his wife: "There is only my name on it now, and when Xiaoqiang comes back and marries Dongfang Girl, add the names of the two of them, I am almost a person in the ground, and everything here will not be the two of them in the future?" ”

Dongfang Youquan and his wife and their son and daughter-in-law read all the documents carefully, and respectfully returned them to Yu Xianglan, and then Dongfang Youquan said to Xiaoli's mother and daughter with feelings: "In this case, we have nothing to say, Xiaoqiang has the care and love of your two relatives, and has made such a suitable arrangement for him and my daughter, presumably Li Yan will not suffer if she marries, this stupid girl is left to death, a tendon, we can't twist her, so we have to agree, if we don't agree again, wouldn't it seem that we are too small-bellied?" For the sake of our daughter, please don't care about our unreasonableness. ”

"No, no, is it normal for you to be human, who doesn't love their daughter. Big brother, since you have agreed, then I will call your in-laws in advance, okay? Yu Xianglan said happily.

"Okay, family, family." The Oriental couple said in unison.

"Oh, wow, great, great, they agreed. Dongfang Li Yan jumped and laughed with joy, and couldn't help hugging her mother and sister-in-law, and then ran to hug Yu Xianglan, and finally hugged Xiaoli tightly.

Everyone was happy, and a displeasure turned into a happy family meeting, which ended very happily for both parties, and the Dongfang family of four went back with satisfaction, while Dongfang Li Yan stayed temporarily with the consent of her parents and brother and sister-in-law. It was ten o'clock in the morning, Dongfang Li Yan heard that Xiaoli's mother and daughter were going to the city to pay New Year's greetings, so she asked to take her with her, Xiaoli's mother and daughter happily agreed, so the three women walked to the long-distance bus station together.

On the long-distance bus to the provincial capital, Xiaoli told Dongfang Li Yan about Chen Xiaoqiang's call on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and she was surprised and delighted that she immediately shook her head, her hands and feet moved, if it were not for the car, there were other passengers in front and behind, she was afraid that she would dance a cheerful dance.

Nearly two hours, Xiaoli and his entourage arrived at the home of Hong Fusheng and his wife, Hong Fusheng, Wu Cuicui and Hong Jiaxing welcomed them into the house happily, after a little greeting and cold noise, Wu Cuicui put a table of rich and delicious dishes neatly, the two families of six people sat in the living room, and tasted a delicious New Year's meal together. After the meal, the big guys chatted for a while, Xiaoli's mother and daughter and Dongfang Li Yan got up to thank and bid farewell to Hong Fusheng's family, and then went to several large shopping malls in the center of the provincial city for a long time before returning to the small second floor of Yinlong Town with a very comfortable mood. By the time they opened the shop and walked inside, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the three men seemed to be a little tired and had washed up and rested early. It wasn't until about ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, the third day of the Lunar New Year, that they were woken up by a burst of firecrackers that roared like thunder. The three of them got up and went to the kitchen to wash up, after which Xiaoli and Dongfang Li Yan went back to the second floor to watch TV programs idly, and Yu Xianglan prepared breakfast and lunch for the three of them in the kitchen. At this time, someone knocked on the rolling shutter door, Yu Xianglan, who heard the voice first, shouted that Xiaoli upstairs told someone to knock on the door, Xiaoli quickly ran downstairs, ran to the store, opened the glass door and the rolling shutter door, and there was a person standing outside the door who surprised Xiaoli, so she smiled and said: "Ah, it's Sister Xue here, Happy New Year, hurry, please sit inside." ”

Later, Yu Xianglan and Dongfang Li Yan, who followed up the store, were also very excited and smiling when they saw Sister Xue Xiuxia, and Sister Xue immediately greeted Yu Xianglan happily and greeted: "Auntie, Happy New Year, how are you old?" When I see you, I think of my mother. ”

"The body is okay, but people in their fifties, they can't compare with their young people, even with you, you are radiant and energetic, if you don't look closely, you think you are less than thirty." Yu Xianglan said boastfully.

"There, there, I'm forty-six after the New Year, and the old ones are almost gone, the man is forty-one flowers, the woman is forty tofu scum, I have been a tofu scum for six years." Sister Xue said jokingly.

"You've become tofu dregs, so I'm not the scum of tofu dregs, and the scum is almost gone." Yu Xianglan's words caused several women to laugh, and in the laughter and joy, they all sat down in the store, and Xiaoli took out the fruits, snacks and roasted foods she had just bought yesterday and put them on the small table, and the big guys began to share them together.

"Sister Xue, you sit down for a while, the three of us just got up, and we haven't eaten yet, just when you come, I'll cook a few dishes for you, and we'll have a lunch together." Yu Xianglan invited.

"Auntie, the year is full, the year is full, I can't eat at all, just drink some tea, and eat these fruits, snacks and something is enough." Xue Xiuxia replied.

"Yes, Mom, I don't want to eat either, you make a pot of tea, and we'll eat some of the things here." Xiaoli also said.

Dongfang Li Yan shook her head and nodded continuously, indicating that she also had the same meaning as the two sisters.

Yu Xianglan didn't have a choice, so she went to the kitchen to make tea.

"Xiaoli, do you have a master of this famous flower? If there is no master, wait for defeat. Sister Xue asked Xiaoli while munching on melon seeds.

"Also known as tweed, I am thirty-two years old, I have long passed puberty, and I am already a yellow flower of the past." Xiaoli also grinned while eating.

"Sister Xue is very right, I'm really anxious for her, but she has to wait for Xiaoqiang to come back and marry her brother and daughter-in-law into the door, seeing that Xiaoqiang has the ability to survive independently, she only thinks about her own affairs, but Xiaoqiang will not come back for more than two years at the earliest, isn't that delaying herself in vain? In fact, as long as she waits for Xiaoqiang while solving herself, wouldn't it be better to have both work and life? Yu Xianglan, who had already made tea and returned to the store, began to nag again as if she had found an accomplice.

"Mean, can you have both? Why do you have to let it go, find a place first, and wait for Xiaoqiang and their affairs to be resolved, and then you can't get married. Sister Xue echoed.

"Of course I understand this truth, but Xiaoqiang is still in prison, since I have promised him, I have to do their things to the end, and I don't feel at ease to leave here if I don't make it complete." Xiaoli said seriously.

"Sister is such a person, when she says it, she is not ambiguous, I am so lucky to have such a sister with Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang is very similar to my sister in many ways, which is why I love him wholeheartedly and wait for him willingly." Dongfang Li Yan said very sincerely.

"This girl is telling the truth, Xiaoli is indeed a good woman who is hard to find with a lantern, you must respect her and love her in the future." Sister Xue reminded her.

"It should be, it should be." Yu Xianglan and Dongfang Li Yan catered in unison.

These women chatted about interesting rumors in the south and north of the sea for a few days while eating and drinking tea and snacks, and in an instant a few glasses of water were in the stomach, Xue Xiuxia suddenly said to them thoughtfully: "A few years ago, I went to the provincial capital to get together with a few old classmates, and I heard a male classmate say that there is a senior Chinese teacher in the school where he is now working, and his wife died five or six years ago, and he is a father and a mother who brought up a pair of children, and trained both children to become college students in famous colleges, and the daughter has graduated from college and has become a family. My son is in school. It's not easy for this person to say, his wife gave birth to a second child, and his body completely collapsed, but he never gave up serving and accompanying him until he sent her away, and after his wife left, he provoked all the families to re-mention, pulling the two children while working, and so hard to educate the two children into students of prestigious universities. When I heard this, I immediately thought of Xiaoli, and then I felt that it was inappropriate, his age was nearly twenty years old, one leg was still a little disabled, and he was disabled in a car accident while delivering food to his wife who was hospitalized, but he was really a good person, but his life was too bitter, quite pitiful. ”

"This man is indeed remarkable and worthy of sympathy, but he is too old." Yu Xianglan said compassionately.

"It's very touching, and I have to take care of my sick wife and educate my children, such people are rare in the world, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that there are too many big sisters." Dongfang Li Yan also said with emotion.

"Yes, seeing that the two children are older, but he is old, such a good person is really hard to find, and it would be too chilling if he couldn't have a happy old age." Sister Xue said sadly.

"Sister, you help me introduce me, this kind of loving, emotional, and knowledgeable good man is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if possible, I would like to give him a happy and happy old age." Xiaoli said with great emotion.

"No, no, you are so much older, you can be your father, you still have a disability, how can you follow him, isn't it too wronged to be yourself?" Yu Xianglan couldn't stop in time.

"What's wrong with being older, it doesn't matter if you have a disability, as long as it doesn't affect your life, such a good man can find it, he can not dislike his seriously ill wife, and take care of him meticulously for so many years, which shows that he knows how to love people more and cherish feelings more, if I follow him, he will not love me twice as much, love me." Xiaoli insisted.

"Ah, don't be emotional, the difference between the two is too big, isn't this a flower stuck in cow dung?" Yu Xianglan was still objecting.

"Mom, don't say it so ugly, I'm not a flower anymore, he can't be said to be cow dung, he is a responsible, caring, and high-quality excellent man, if I miss it, then I regret it." The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, it is not important to be older, the important thing is to be happy with each other, cherish each other, take 10,000 steps back and say that even if it is a pile of cow dung, as long as I am willing to insert it, what does it hinder others? Li Yandu can not dislike Xiaoqiang to be imprisoned, and stick to that love with all her heart, she is so open-minded, why can't I find a pile of cow dung to enjoy. Although Xiaoli's language is a bit funny, her attitude is very resolute.

"Sister, this matter is different from me and Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang only had an accident after we had a relationship. I think you should think about it again, he's twenty years older than you, aren't you too wronged? Dongfang Li Yan said very cautiously.

"I've thought about it very maturely, I'm not a child anymore, what is wronged, who is wronged, everyone lives their own life, as long as you love me, why is there any injustice? If I find a man of the same age, who doesn't know how to cherish feelings, and doesn't know how to love women, and when the freshness passes, he will find a new love, then it will be wrong. Xiaoli seriously stated her point of view, and after speaking, she seemed to feel that it was not convincing enough, so she asked Dongfang Li Yan additionally: "Li Yan, you are waiting for Xiaoqiang to be imprisoned so obsessively, do you feel wronged?" ”

"I don't, I don't feel wronged, I love Xiaoqiang sincerely, 'life is precious, love is more valuable'. Xiaoqiang didn't do anything shameful, and he didn't feel sorry for me, so why should I dislike him, besides, who didn't make some mistakes when they were young, as long as they corrected it. The prodigal son will not change the money when he turns back. Dongfang Li Yan replied.

"Isn't that the end of it?" Xiaoli seems to have obtained the truth.

"Okay, okay, I can't persuade you, then you might as well look everywhere first, it's so lively, maybe it's groundless." Yu Xianglan reluctantly agreed.

"Thank you mom for your understanding, Sister Xue, you can help me contact me, look everywhere and then talk about it, anyway, it will take two or three years for Xiaoqiang to come back, why don't I take this opportunity to understand first." Xiaoli turned from excitement to calm talk.

"Yes, yes, I'll contact my male classmate later, whether things work out or not is not a sentence or two, it depends on how you get along, whether there is fate or not." Sister Xue agreed. After she finished talking about this topic, they stopped, and after they were ashamed of some other things that were of interest to each other, it was noon, Sister Xue got up to say goodbye, Yu Xianglan, Xiaoli and Dongfang Li Yan sent her to the door very politely, Sister Xue waved goodbye to them and turned to leave.

"There is a heart to carry flowers and flowers not to bloom, and there is no intention to plant willows and willows." Xue Xiuxia's trip to the small shop seems to be intentional and unintentional, and it is still ambiguous whether the media's words can contribute to Xiaoli's final marriage, and the story told by Xiaoli is all over here.

The scene returned to Lu Xinzhou and Yu Xiaoli's new house, and Lu Xinzhou, who was concentrating on recording with paper and pen, suddenly found that Xiaoli was no longer talking, so he said to Xiaoli very puzzled: "Go on, why don't you say it?" ”

"What else to say, don't you know all the things below?"

"Oh, yes, yes, a new character has appeared, and that's me, but I'm writing, and the story is incomplete until now, and the reader has to understand what the final result is."

"Then you will write it as it is, and record it as it is."

"Okay, I know, I know everything about the future, and it's up to me to do it."

Now it's Lu Xinzhou's turn to recall and think.
