Chapter 164: Coming Home
The next day, Niu Tiangou slept until 8:30 a.m. and woke up.
After Huang Chunying got up, Niu Tiangou and her left the room together, went out of the hostel, and then ate something outside, and went straight to the Jiangcheng long-distance bus station.
After sitting in the car for about 2 hours, the two finally got off at the roadside station in Xinxing Town, Yunyang County.
Niu Tiangou didn't care to visit Cao Zhengdong - if he saw that he had brought back a beautiful woman in half a year, he wouldn't be envious to death! How could you bother to talk to him about school? So he directly recruited a three-wheeled numb car on the side of the road, and went straight to Niugang Village.
Looking at the familiar scenery on the side of the road, Niu Tiangou finally smelled the taste of his hometown again, and felt extremely relaxed and warm.
Hearing the numbness and horn sound at the door, the second brother came out of the brick house, saw the eldest brother and a woman getting out of the car, was stunned for a moment, hurriedly greeted him, and called out in surprise: "Brother, are you back?" ”
When he took the bag and bag in Niu Tiangou's hand, the second brother was a little surprised to find that he was as tall as himself, and looked at Huang Chunying next to him, and then asked in a puzzled whisper, "Where is my sister-in-law?" ”
"Let's go back to the house and talk." Niu Tiangou's heart sank, and he quickly changed the topic and introduced: "Oh, this is my friend, Huang Chunying." He introduced to Huang Chunying: "This is my second brother." ”
Huang Chunying smiled slightly, and the second brother also nodded politely at her.
At this time, the third brother also came out, and he was also taken aback when he saw Niu Tiangou: I haven't seen him for half a year, why is the eldest brother taller than himself? looked at Huang Chunying again, was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Dad, the eldest brother is back!" ”
Hearing the shouting, the two old men came out of the old mud house next to them, and the mother was much older and thinner, trembling slightly, and was supported by her father to come out.
The nieces and nephews also got out of the old mud house, ran over as if flying, looked around, did not see the playmates who came back every year, were a little disappointed, and then turned their faces to look at Huang Chunying in a red coat in a daze, with a puzzled face.
Niu Tiangou smiled and touched the heads of his two nephews, looked at his parents who were supporting, and couldn't help but think of the sentence in "Mulan Poem" "Grandma heard that the girl was coming, and Guo Xiang helped the general", but he was just a son and not a daughter.
Mom and Dad looked at a strange girl standing next to Niu Tiangou, their eyes were stunned, their expressions stiffened slightly, and a trace of doubt and surprise seemed to flash, but Dad quickly beckoned: "Come into the house, what are you doing standing outside?" ”
Niu Tiangou hurriedly stepped forward to support his mother and asked, "Mom, are you better?" ”
Mom felt that Niu Tiangou seemed to have grown a little taller, as tall as his father, and glanced at Niu Tiangou strangely, but there was no squeak.
When we entered the house, everyone had just sat down, and the two brothers and daughters-in-law also came in. Niu Tiangou introduced Huang Chunying one by one. Huang Chunying hurriedly stood up, took out a schoolbag from her bag, and gave her nieces and nephews one by one.
The eldest niece glanced at Huang Chunying timidly, and saw that the eldest uncle Niu Tiangou nodded at her with a smile, and then took it, but the two nephews were not polite, took the schoolbag and looked through it a few times, took out the stationery box inside, and ran out happily.
The second brother and daughter-in-law were busy pouring tea for everyone, and the third brother and daughter-in-law also brought out a large plate of melon seeds and peanuts from the back room.
Mother looked at Huang Chunying in a daze, stood up and gestured to Niu Tiangou, and walked into the room with the help of his father, and Niu Tiangou also followed.
"What's going on with you? Why didn't Lijun and my granddaughter Rongrong come back? When Niu Tiangou entered the room, his mother gently closed the door, and then asked with a look of surprise.
"Mom, sit down first and listen to me tell you slowly." Niu Tiangou hurriedly helped his mother to the side of the bed and sat down, he knew that his mother would definitely get to the bottom of it after seeing Huang Chunying, and he had already thought about how to explain it to her.
Niu Tiangou took a stool casually, sat down in front of his parents, took out a cigarette, handed one to his father, lit one himself, and then said everything about his divorce from Teresa Teng while smoking.
After listening, my mother's face became gloomy, and she didn't squeak for a long time.
Dad was also surprised, although there are many divorces among young people because of working outside, but he didn't expect this to happen to his son, and his son and daughter-in-law have been divorced for a year, and the family has been kept in the dark!
Nowadays, young people are doing things more and more outrageously!
"Why don't you tell our old man about such a big thing?" Mom glared at him and angrily blamed, "If you don't come back for the New Year, how long are you going to hide it from us?" ”
The father was very angry, and when he saw that his wife was already blaming his son, he didn't squeak, so as not to add fuel to the fire and make his wife angry, and after being silent for a while, he raised his head and comforted: "Since the incident has happened, it is like oil poured on the ground, and it can no longer be recovered, and it is useless to say it." ”
Seeing that his wife's expression calmed down a little, Dad continued: "I don't think it's all to blame for this. Today's young people are dazzled by the world of flowers outside, and their hearts are wild, and they have all kinds of ideas. ”
He has already understood the general situation from Niu Tiangou's words just now, although he thinks that his son's matter is a bit outrageous, but this matter is not all his son's fault, and his daughter-in-law Teresa Teng also has most of the responsibility.
"So, is Lijun disgusted with you?" After listening to her father's words, her mother's face darkened, and after a while, she looked at her son and sighed, and said, "You young people now, divorce is like playing at home, completely ignoring the children, and a good family is broken up, what a sin...... Sorry for my poor granddaughter......"
At this time, the second brother's laughter came from outside the room, and the father came back to his senses and asked, "Are you...... The girl who brought it back......"
Niu Tiangou hurriedly said, "She's me in ...... A friend of Xianhai. ”
"Is that the daughter-in-law you talked about again?" Hearing this, his mother hurriedly stared at him and asked.
Looking at his mother's worried look, Niu Tiangou hesitated for a moment, and then nodded affirmatively.
Mom glanced at Niu Tiangou, her expression was a little strange, and after a while, she muttered: "It's like this, it's like it's a joke, it's not good to say." "After all, my mother is the thinking of the older generation, and there are some traditions, and I can't get used to seeing young people tossing around.
"There's no way around it, let him say whatever others like." Dad sank for a moment and continued to comfort, "Can you manage the children's affairs?" It's a world for young people, so let them go. ”
Mom glared at Dad: You can think about it!
Seeing that his wife didn't say anything more, his father glanced at Niu Tiangou and said to Nunu outside the door: "You go out to talk more with other girls, don't snub others." "Although Dad's thinking is also old, but his brain is faster than Mom's, since the past has passed, then cherish the present.
After Niu Tiangou came out, his parents also came out.
Huang Chunying is worthy of being a foreman, good at dealing with people, strong communication skills, can talk to anyone, and is drinking tea and sipping melon seeds, while talking to her two sisters-in-law and younger brothers about her being stolen at the train station.
The two brothers-in-law saw that she was a friend of the eldest brother, she looked like a peach blossom powder, Peugeot, extremely charming, dressed as a city person, and people were easy-going, but they liked it, but they didn't know why the sister-in-law and niece didn't come back, and what was the relationship between her and the eldest brother, and it was hard to ask in their hearts.
Seeing Niu Tiangou's parents come out, Huang Chunying hurriedly put down the teacup and stood up, and took out a sweater from her bag.
"Mom, this is the sweater I bought for you, I don't know if it fits you." Huang Chunying's face was slightly red, and as she spoke, she handed the sweater to Niu Tiangou's mother.
This "Mom" is not loud, but it is sweet and crunchy, and it is so affectionate!
Dumbfounded the two younger brothers and sisters-in-law!
They were just guessing just now, and then they were sure: the eldest brother really "changed" the sister-in-law! No wonder the sister-in-law didn't come back.
This Huang Chunying is really good at acting, and she can also be charming, hearing her call like this, her mother's melancholy face eased slightly, glanced at Niu Tiangou, and silently took the sweater.
Then, Huang Chunying gave Niu Tiangou's father another pair of pants, and Niu Tiangou's father happily accepted: "This child, how can you spend money?" ”
……
In the evening, my mother naturally arranged for Niu Tiangou and Huang Chunying to rest in his original room.
This room is where he lived with his wife Teresa Teng for 2 years.
A few utensils from the wedding are still quietly placed in the room. An old-fashioned wooden bed, a set of combination cabinets, a sofa, a table and four small square stools, a "Huhai" brand black and white TV, and two quilts were brought by Teresa Teng from home. Also, the small cradle hanging on the wall was bought by Teresa Teng's mother after her daughter was born.
Time has passed, and now things are no longer human.
Seeing things and thinking about people, Niu Tiangou couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his eyes.
He remembered the scene when he and Teresa Teng came to marry him with two quilts; remembered that the two of them went to a correspondence class for pig raising in a company in Jiangcheng together on a "marriage trip", and it was there that he met Wu Sangui; I thought of the red, oily, slippery, sleepy little pig that the two of them fed together, and the two lively and cute yellow geese that she carefully fed and the 20 fluffy chicks that rolled happily on the ground like a flock of fluffy balls; I remembered the hard and sweet years in the wind and rain, mud and water when I farmed with her; remembered the scene of their well-behaved daughter lying in the cradle with a sweet smile......
"What are you thinking?" Seeing Niu Tiangou sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, Huang Chunying walked over, sat down next to him, and asked softly.
"In this room, I used to live with my ex-wife for 2 years." Niu Tiangou turned his head and said slowly, "You...... Don't mind, right? ”
Huang Chunying was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "The matter has passed, what do you want it to do?" ”
"I've really wronged you, you must be very unaccustomed to living in such a simple low mud house, right?" He looked around at the yellowed newspapers that were glued to the dirt walls of the room, and looked at her apologetically.
"What do you say?" Huang Chunying's soft voice slowly spit out, gentle as water, like a heavenly sound, "As long as I am with you, I will live wherever I live." As he spoke, he wrapped his hands tightly around his waist and gently "arched" his head into his arms like a cat......
