"I'll look for it again, grandma, you can help me go to my sister-in-law's house to have a look." Liang Jun went outside talking and went, but now Xu Qinglian is still angry in her heart, and she doesn't want to contact Grandma Liang and Liang Xin at all, so she can only talk about Liang Jun if she has something.

Regardless of Liang Ming or Liang Jun, the relationship with Liang Yiping's family is very poor, so he was embarrassed to come to find someone, so he had to come to Grandma Liang and Liang Xin.

Grandma Liang was also anxious when she heard that Liang Yue was gone, and she was not afraid of the others, she was afraid that something would happen, and there were small ditches and rivers everywhere in Beiren Village. Liang Yue has always been timid, running back and forth at night on his Zhuangzi, I don't know what I'm afraid of, and I definitely don't dare to walk home next to Zhuangzi.

When Liang Xin dried herself and got dressed, she didn't even have time to pour the bath water, so Grandma Liang took her to Liang Yiping's house. Liang Xin still remembered the apple thing, and carried the cloth bag full of apples.

After going out and walking forward for a while, I ran into Liang Jun again. Liang Jun ran to Grandma Liang's side, and didn't talk to Liang Xin at this time, but only said to Grandma Liang: "Mom said that Liang Yue didn't come back after school, I thought there was something wrong at school, or I went to play with other classmates, and I was so angry that I came back and beat her, so that she could remember it for a long time. ”

"Have you found Zhuangzi before and after?" Grandma Liang asked as she walked quickly.

"Found." Liang Jun was still a little out of breath: "I asked from door to door, but there was none." Only my sister-in-law's house, I didn't ask. ”

"If it's not at your sister-in-law's house, it will be a bad thing!" Grandma Liang said.

walked all the way to the courtyard of Liang Yiping's house. At this time, the door of the Wang family was closed and the bolt was closed. Grandma Liang and Liang Xin both felt that they were definitely not at Liang Yiping's house, but they still raised their hands and knocked on the door.

The old couple of the Wang family fell asleep at this time, and when they heard the knock on the door, they were irritable, and Mrs. Wang got up and opened the door, and saw that it was Grandma Liang, Liang Jun, and Liang Xin, and said in a strange manner: "It's my mother, what are you doing so late?" ”

"Find my sister-in-law." Liang Xin answered.

"It's all asleep, let's come tomorrow if there's something to do." Mrs. Wang was about to close the door as she spoke, but Grandma Liang stretched out her hand to push her and said, "Mother-in-law, we have something to do with Ping'er, you can do it conveniently." ”

Mrs. Wang hates Liang Yiping, if it weren't for her son's protection, she wouldn't have wanted this daughter-in-law a long time ago. can't give birth, and is pampered like a young grandmother every day. marrying such a daughter-in-law, the whole thing is her royal family's sin. She also knew that Liang Yiping often made up for Grandma Liang's things, so naturally she didn't have a good face for Grandma Liang, and she was willing to give her any convenience.

But in the midst of pushing, Liang Yiping came out of the hall and said, "What are you doing?" This is my house, and I won't let my mother come to the door? ”

Mrs. Wang couldn't afford her mother-in-law's shelf in front of Liang Yiping, and she couldn't quarrel with each other, so she let go and went back to the house.

Liang Yiping greeted the gate and saw that Liang Xin and Liang Jun were also there, of course she knew that something was wrong. If Liang Jun hadn't been there, she would have pulled Grandma Liang and Liang Xin into the house, and she wouldn't pull them at this time, just standing and asking Grandma Liang: "Mom, what are you doing this night?" ”

Grandma Liang grabbed her hand and said, "Liang Yue is gone, but she came to look for you?" ”

"yes." Liang Yiping said simply: "I didn't leave, and then I said I didn't dare to leave when it was dark, and I drove him away." ”

Grandma Liang "snapped" the back of Liang Yiping's hand, and said hurriedly: "She has always been timid, you can't let Jianshan send her!" ”

"What to send?!" Liang Yiping said indifferently: "You don't blame me for not leaving?" didn't give her any food, can't you see that no one wants to see her? ”

"Liang Yiping, you are too vicious!" Grandma Liang and Liang Xin didn't make a sound, and Liang Jun couldn't bear it when he heard this. He doesn't call her sister-in-law, he calls her by her name.

Liang Yiping was not happy when she heard this, and glared: "Liang Jun, what did you say?" You repeat! ”

"I said you were vicious!" Liang Jun said loudly: "How old is Liang Yue, no matter how old you are, she is also your niece, so it doesn't matter if you don't give food to your house." You know that she is afraid of the dark and dare not walk at night, and you still drive her to walk alone, you are so bad! ”

"I'm just bad!" Liang Yiping said horizontally: "What do you do with me?" Who doesn't know who I Liang Yiping is? She Liang Yue wants me to order something good, but I won't give it! She died in my house, and I won't give it! I don't dare to walk at night, I let her rely on it? Deserve! ”

Liang Jun was so angry that his chest couldn't help but rise, looked around, touched a broken brick on the ground and was about to go up to shoot Liang Yiping. Liang Xin's eyes and legs were fast, his whole body was in front of Liang Jun, and he hurriedly said: "Liang Jun, calm down!" ”

"Get out of the way!" Liang Jun still held the brick: "I have to shoot this poisonous woman to death today!" ”

"If you shoot you to death, you'll go to jail!" Liang Xin reprimanded: "Let's hurry up and find Liang Yue, she must be hiding somewhere to be afraid!" ”

Grandma Liang also came up at this time and pulled Liang Jun's arm, snatched the brick down, and said, "Yes, Jun'er, calm down, let's find Liang Yue first." ”

Liang Jun calmed down a little at this time, looked at Liang Yiping and said again: "If Liang Yue has three long and two short, I won't let you go!" With that, he left.

"Heh......" Liang Yiping stood behind the door and sneered: "Such a big person, can't you pass through three rows of Zhuangzi?" Who believes? ”

Liang Xin stuffed the cloth bag full of apples in her hand into her hand, and said lightly: "Sister-in-law, it's too much." And he went.

Grandma Liang sighed, shook her head, and went with Liang Xin.

It was already very dark at this time, and Liang Xin and Grandma Liang did not look for Liang Jun separately, but watched together. On the way back, there is a main road, which is around the periphery of the three rows of Zhuangzi, and then there is a road in front of each row of Zhuangzi. In addition to these formed roads, the rest of the alleys can be passed, and people can go back.

Liang Xin, Liang Jun, and Grandma Liang first looked for people in the alleys in the front row, calling twice from time to time. Zhuangzi in the front row didn't find anyone, so he had to go to the second row. I stumbled and walked for a while, and there was no flashlight, so I could only see the road with a little moonlight.

I couldn't find anyone, and Liang Xin was a little anxious at this time. didn't find Liang Yue, but first ran into Xu Qinglian again, and she found the front from the back Zhuangzi. After two encounters, without mentioning the contradiction, Xu Qinglian hurriedly said: "Did you find it?" ”

"Nope." Liang Jun gasped and shook his head, and said, "If I can't find it, I'll go to Liang Yiping to settle the account!" ”

"What's the point with her?" Xu Qinglian asked.

Without waiting for Liang Jun to speak, Liang Xin said, "Let's find someone first, and then talk about the others when we go back." Second brother, you and your mother are on the side, and my grandmother and I are on the side, and then look carefully. ”

Liang Jun didn't say anything more, and went with Xu Qinglian to find someone. On the way, he naturally couldn't hold his words, and told Liang Yiping about Liang Yue taking Liang Yue home by herself. Xu Qinglian was angry for a while after hearing this, and scolded: "This force should be pulled and shot!" Bad seeds! ”

"Mom, don't scold such ugly words." Liang Jun did not forget to correct Xu Qinglian's local vulgarity.

Xu Qinglian was still angry, and suddenly felt sad again, and choked up: "If something happens to Liang Yue, I will scold her in front of her house every day!" ”

Liang Jun patted Xu Qinglian's back, Xu Qinglian was even more sad, and said, "Your father, who has no conscience, left me alone in this world and let me carry a family!" How many things can I carry on a woman's shoulders! Which of the four of you didn't conceive and give birth in October? Who I don't hurt? If something happens to any of you, my heart will be like a knife! As long as you are still not worried, Liang Xin, who was the most obedient, is also disobedient, if you have to do it against me, who will I talk to about the bitterness in my heart? ”

"Mom, don't be sad." Liang Jun comforted Xu Qinglian gently.

Xu Qinglian raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and said: "That bad seed Liang Yiping has always said that I killed her brother, and she can't get along with me all day long." His brother is my man, how poisonous do I have to be to kill my own man? Do I have her Liang Yiping poison? It was a year when he was paralyzed at home, and he had enough of it, and he had to smoke and drink when he was sick, and he didn't eat, drink, or take medicine......"

Xu Qinglian sniffed, smashed her hand and said, "How else do you want me to serve?" How else can I serve? I'm a woman, split me eight times, is it enough?! I want to die too! ”

Liang Jun still caressed Xu Qinglian's back and couldn't help comforting her. He couldn't see Xu Qinglian so wronged, and he was really distressed in his heart. Every now and then, he would secretly make up his mind in his heart that he must let Xu Qinglian have something to rely on and live a good life.

After looking for a while, I still didn't see Liang Yue. Xu Qinglian was disappointed, sat on the ground, wiped her tears and said, "Don't look for it, let her go dead or alive!" She doesn't understand me for being a mother, and I can't help it. How many times have I said it, don't go to Wang's house, don't go to Wang's house, she has to lick her face! Just like your dad! I don't know how tired I am for the rest of my life, and how much worry I have to worry about when I make a fuss! When you all die, I will die with me, this family is scattered, I've had enough! ”

"Mom, don't talk about whether you die or not." Liang Jun frowned and said, sat down next to Xu Qinglian and said, "The eldest sister and the younger sister are disobedient, isn't there still me?" When have I you off? When I finish studying, I will definitely lead you to a good life! ”

Xu Qinglian wiped her tears again and said, "You and your eldest brother are the sons of the family, the inheritor of incense, I will fight my life to bring you to adulthood, so that no one will look down on our orphans and widows......"

Speaking of this, Xu Qinglian choked up violently, and continued while choking: "She, Liang Xin, why can't she understand me, why doesn't she know my suffering?" I'm a widow, am I easy? ”

Liang Jun saw that Xu Qinglian was crying a lot, so he took her into his arms and whispered, "Mom, don't cry." ”

If there is a man, she Xu Qinglian has something to rely on, where do she need to think about so many problems. She only needs to cook at home every day, talk to the women in the neighborhood, and work in the fields with the men. The things that need to be calculated by the brain, there are men who can calculate them......

Grandma Liang and Liang Xin searched for a while, but they still didn't find anyone in Zhuangzi Lane, so they were sweating in a hurry. There was no way, Liang Xin had to take Grandma Liang to Zhuangzi to have a look. At the west end of Zhuangzi, a small piece of wasteland was planted, and two rows of poplars were planted, and one row was only four or five, and then the ninth production team was formed.

"Can you still run nine teams?" Grandma Liang held Liang Xin by the hand and said tightly.

"Let's see." Liang Xin said: "Our team has looked for it, but we haven't done it, what should I do?" ”

"Let's see, then." Grandma Liang is also right.

The two walked through the wasteland and were about to go to the Zhuangzi of Team Nine to find someone when they suddenly heard the sound of "woo". In this slightly quiet night, the "whine" sound sounded a little creepy.

Liang Xin also held Grandma Liang's hand tightly and asked her, "Grandma, did you hear that?" What was that? ”

Grandma Liang's ears were a little back, she listened carefully, only to hear a little sound, looked at Liang Xin and said, "There is a sound." ”

"It seems to have come out of that pigsty, let's go and see." Liang Xin pulled Grandma Liang and walked to a pigsty at the head of Zhuangzi.

This pigsty was the first in Zhuangzi, and there were no pigs in it. Grandma Liang and Liang Xin approached, stood at the door of the pigsty, and called tentatively: "Liang Yue? ”

The sound of "wooing" inside suddenly stopped, and then I heard a voice choked up and asked, "Is it my sister?" ”

When Liang Xin heard Liang Yue's voice, she was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly opened the wooden gate of the pigsty and went in to find someone. In the hazy darkness, I saw Liang Yue's small one, shrunk on the straw in the pigsty, very pitiful.

Liang Xin went up and pulled her up, frowning and said, "Why did you come here?" ”

Liang Yue saw that it was Liang Xin, and cried out with a "wow", hugged Liang Xin, and cried: "I didn't dare to go home after dark, and I was chased by a dog......

"Alright, alright, it's okay." Grandma Liang came up and said, "Hurry up and go home with us, your mother and your brother are in a hurry and are still looking for them." ”

"Hmm." Liang Xin nodded vigorously and followed Grandma Liang and Liang Xin out of the pigsty.

Liang Xin held Liang Yue's hand, it was difficult to say anything in this situation. She let Liang Yue cry all the way, and when she met Liang Jun and Xu Qinglian, she sent Liang Yue to Xu Qinglian and said, "I found it." ”

Xu Qinglian was shocked, angry and afraid, when she saw Liang Yue at this time, she was in a false alarm, and she was only angry, and she slapped her on the buttocks, crying and yelling: "Are you still disobedient?" Are you still listening? ”

Liang Yue was beaten by her and screamed, and said straightly: "Mom, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore." ”

Grandma Liang next to her couldn't see the child being beaten, so she wanted to go up and pull it, but was stopped by Liang Xin. Grandma Liang thought about it, such a big event happened, it was not possible to prevent Liang Yue from having a long memory, so she stopped.

Xu Qinglian beat Liang Yue angrily, and she was also tired, so she stopped wiping her tears, and said angrily: "Go home!" ”

Liang Yue put his thumb in his mouth and gnawed, crying like a tearful man, and took the lead to go home. Xu Qinglian followed behind, she didn't dare to look back, just walked forward.

Liang Jun didn't follow, but went to Liang Xin, hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you ...... Liang Xin, think about it again, if you move back in, I'll talk to my mother and ask her to agree with you to study. Let's be together as a family, okay? ”

Liang Xin smiled and shook his head: "No need, second brother." ”

Liang Jun took a breath, glanced at Liang Xin twice, lost the word "whatever you want", and went.

Watching Liang Jun walk away, Grandma Liang said to Liang Xin: "Xin'er, or you can go back to live." ”

Liang Xin took Grandma Liang's arm, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and then said as she walked: "Grandma, I just want to finish the book quietly." Then, I also want to accompany you and not let you be alone. ”

Grandma Liang's eyes were wet, she raised her hand and patted the back of Liang Xin's hand, and said, "Good boy." ”

A crooked round of the moon in the sky, embedded in the treetops. Occasionally, the wind blows and a few leaves fall, and the smell of autumn is getting heavier and heavier......

+++

A night of tossing, fortunately, the result is not bad.

Liang Xin was very tired, but he didn't sleep very well, and he had messy dreams. Early in the morning, I still got up when Grandma Liang had made breakfast, washed up and ate. After eating, without delay, continue to ride your board bike to the town.

Before leaving, Liang Yiping came to the house, and asked with a floating look in her eyes: "How is Liang Yue?" ”

"It's okay, I found it." Liang Xin said.

"It's good to find it." Liang Yiping didn't ask much, and handed the sunshade straw hat in her hand to Liang Xin: "Wear it, bask in the sun less." ”

Liang Xin hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take it, buckled it on his head, tied the rope, and then looked at Liang Yiping and said, "Sister-in-law......"

didn't say anything, Liang Yiping didn't let her say, and hurriedly answered: "Go, come back early." ”

Liang Xin nodded and pedaled into the car.

When he went to the town, Liang Xin still found a good location to set up a stall. Every time I set up a stall, the people around me are different, and I just gossip a few words at will, and I go about my own business.

This time, when Liang Xin came out, she also brought her own satchel, which contained textbooks and homework. She stopped the cart, set out her fruits, and pulled out her English textbook. After a while, some guests came to the door to do business, and the rest was to memorize word by word.

When the business is done at noon, the market will disperse, and Liang Xin will not stay longer. took the two or three yuan he earned in the morning, evened out five cents and bought a small half catty of pork and a handful of celery, and then rode a board bike to Shu Qinghua's house, and then continued his nanny work.

Shu Qinghua's family is still Shu Qinghua's alone, his two-story building is very small, and it should be that the cement bricks and tiles bought by his family were built by workers. But it's such a small building, and now it looks empty.

Liang Xin knocked on the door and entered the house, and Shu Qinghua was sitting at the dining table doing his homework. Liang Xin closed the door with his backhand and said, "I bought some pork and celery, and I will make dumplings for you to eat at noon today, right?" ”

"Okay." Shu Qinghua buried himself in the question, and he didn't look at Liang Xin.

Liang Xin looked at him twice, Shu Qinghua is indeed not a good student who abides by school discipline, it is common to be late, and he doesn't listen to the teacher very much. According to normal logic, a student with such a problem should be particularly disinclined to study, but he likes to study and his grades are excellent. It's a wonderful.

Liang Xin didn't disturb him to do his homework, and went into the kitchen to start cleaning up the pork and celery. This scene is very similar to his son doing his homework in the living room in his previous life, while she was cooking in the kitchen for his son. Liang Xin unconsciously shook her head and smiled, she is now a cardamom girl without a son.

Liang Xin washed the pork, put it on a cutting board and cut it into cubes, and then used a knife to chop it into a puree. Chop and add some soy sauce to it.

The sound of the knife edge quickly touching the cutting board came from the kitchen, and it was very rhythmic. Shu Qinghua stopped the pen in his hand, looked up and went into the kitchen, and still saw Liang Xin cooking with a smile on his apron.

After looking at it for a moment, he suddenly put down his pen and got up, went to the kitchen door and said, "Make more and eat together." ”
