Bai Lingyan thought for a while and said, "I want to go, but I'm afraid that my parents won't agree." Let's just do it, I won't tell them this time, don't leave before the holiday, my eldest sister and brother-in-law go to my house in the second year of junior high school, you go too, and then we will come back to your house together. ”

Wu Xiaojun shook his head and said, "I will go to your house in the second year of junior high school, I have no name and no points, no, no, no." If you come back so early, they will think about it. ”

Bai Lingyan said, "There's nothing wrong with it, when my eldest sister wasn't married, my eldest brother-in-law also went to my house." Now that you and my family are acquainted, no one has blasted you out, so I'll do as I say. You tell your family now, let's go back to the third year of junior high school. ”

Wu Xiaojun hesitated for a while, sighed and said, "Okay! ”

Wu Pingshun and Xiao Junniang just felt a little refreshed, but they were annihilated by Qiao Na's nonsense in creating public opinion in the village. Wu Pingshun was about to go to Wu Xiaofu and Qiao Na to settle accounts in a fit of anger, but was stopped by Xiaojunniang and didn't go out for a few days. As soon as I entered the wax moon, I was looking forward to the return of Wu Xiaojun every day, but there was no news.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Wu Xiaosen came back from the county seat, Wu Pingshun said worriedly, "I don't know what is going on with the army, whether I will come back for the festival or not, I don't even have a letter, he wants to kill me urgently." ”

Wu Xiaosen has always been pretending to be in his heart, Wu Pingshun said that he remembered, and said slowly, "Dad, mother, look at my memory, Xiaojun called me half a month ago, saying that he and Bai Lingyan came back in the third year of junior high school, and I forgot about it when I was busy, and I didn't have time to tell you two." ”

Xiaojun's mother said angrily, "Busy and busy, just you are busy, do you know how I and your father survived this time, Xiaofu and his family can't wait to bring us the home, and the land is all divided, even I have thought about how to eat with your father, we are both cold and dying of cold, so I look forward to Xiaojun coming back." If you don't come back for a long time, it's okay to ignore the affairs of your family, but you shouldn't swallow the letter of when the army will come back. As she spoke, she cried.

Wu Xiaosen felt that it was nothing when he heard it, and said lightly, "It's good that the land is divided, you two don't have to worry about how good it is to be tired, I think it's still the eldest brother and sister-in-law who think thoughtfully." ”

When Wu Pingshun heard this, he immediately became angry, stood up from the ground, and scolded sharply, "Bastard things, and Xiaofu's goods all the way, get out, never come back, I don't want to see you again, hurry up, get out, get ......" while scolding, he pushed Wu Xiaosen out of the door.

Wu Xiaosen thought that he didn't say anything, why was his father so annoyed, what was going on, he really couldn't figure it out. Seeing that his father was very angry, he didn't listen to what he said, so he had to leave home and come to Uncle Wu Pingshun's house.

Wu Pingchun saw Wu Xiaosen coming over with a sad face, and asked, "Xiaosen, isn't your father at home, are you unhappy, is he angry with Chunyan?" ”

Wu Xiaosen said aggrievedly, "Uncle, I really don't know what medicine my father took wrong, I just said a word, and he was so angry that he didn't even let me say anything and threw it out, do you know what's going on?" ”

Wu Pingchun let Wu Xiaosen into the house, and the two sat down before slowly saying, "Xiaosen, you haven't been back for a few months." In the past few years, for your father and your mother, I have never come back from Xiaojun, and I am happy and comfortable, and I should say that this is a rare good thing. But this good mood was quickly poured cold water on Xiaofu and Jona, and they were never able to cheer up again. ”

Wu Xiaosen asked puzzledly, "My mother said that the land was divided, and even the two of them have considered how to pay for dinner, my father and my mother should be happy, what else is there to worry about?" ”

Wu Pingshun said with a gloomy face, "It would be nice if it was so simple, the problem is that the motive of Xiaofu is not pure, not for the sake of your father, your mother and Xiaojun, and then play your own little abacus everywhere." You also know why your father and mother went to Pingxi. Ke Xiaofu and Qiao Na shouted everywhere in the neighboring villages, saying that Xiaojun had married in Pingxi and would not come back in the future. Just add up how he and Xiaoqi divide the land, how you and Xiaojun take the lion's share of the money for your father and your mother's meal. There is nothing wrong with the eight characters, do you say that your father and your mother can not be angry? Even if the land is divided in the future, it will not be possible without you and the army. ”

Only then did Wu Xiaosen understand, "No wonder my father and I are so girly, my eldest brother really shouldn't do this." The land is of no use to me, it doesn't matter if you want it or not. ”

Wu Pingchun said seriously, "Whether you want it or not is your business, how to deal with it in the future when your father gives it to you is still your business, but your father will not give it to you at any time, this is reason, your father will not do unreasonable things, I know this best." What's more, in this situation of your family, it's not your blessing to say, you crossed the three of them in advance, didn't you go to their home again, how could there be such a thing in the world. ”

Wu Xiaosen touched a nose of ash at his father's mother, and he didn't dare to go back when he came out of Wu Pingchun's house, so he had to return to the county seat home dejectedly, and as soon as he sat on the sofa at the door, the phone rang, and the fire didn't hit anywhere, and he picked up the phone and said angrily, "I won't let people be quiet for a while, and I will go directly to the ward to see a doctor!" As he spoke, he hung up the phone.

I only heard a man's voice on the phone say, "Hey, is it Wu Xiaojun's brother Wu Xiaosen's family?" ”

Zhu Chunyan saw Wu Xiaosen's angry face on the side, I don't know who called, worried that she would offend people by saying something unpleasant to her excitedly, so she took the phone and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, I am Xiaojun's sister-in-law, may I ask who you are?" ”

"Oh, it's Xiaojun's sister-in-law, Luo Wen, the father of my Xiaojun classmate Luo Xiao, we had dinner together a few years ago, I don't know if you have any impression?"

Zhu Chunyan thought about it, and said with a smile, "I remember, it turned out to be Uncle Luo, hello, I'm sorry, Xiaosen was not in a good mood just now, and he was a little impulsive to speak, don't mind!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I also got your phone from the department, and I'm a little presumptuous to disturb you."

"Uncle Luo, it's okay, it's okay, what's the matter with you?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that Luo Xiao's mother came back for the New Year, and she always said that Xiaojun helped my family a lot, and it was not easy to come back once.

"Uncle Luo, thank you, auntie, the military internship is busy, and he said that he will come back in the third year of junior high school."

"That's it, after Xiaojun comes back, don't forget to tell him to call Lao Wuge Wu's sister-in-law, as well as you and Xiaosen, on the fifth day of the first month, at the Yuanzhen Hotel, everyone gets together and chats about family life, but your aunt has a wish. Please! ”

"Uncle Luo, you are too polite, you must do it. You don't need to book a table, you and your aunt will come directly to the county hospital on the fifth day of the new year, and I will arrange it in advance. ”

Zhu Chunyan put down the phone, glared at Wu Xiaosen, and complained, "Seeing that you don't have a stinky temper on time, you don't even ask and lose your temper, you almost didn't make a mistake." Xiaojun's classmate Luo Xiao's parents want to see your father and your mother after the holiday, what do you say? ”

Wu Xiaosen was stunned and said, "It's normal, just see you!" ”

Zhu Chunyan said, "Is it better to talk to your family now, so as to be mentally prepared, don't be embarrassed to talk when the time comes." ”

Wu Xiaosen was angry just now, and said casually, "I'll tell my father and mother when I go back on the first day." ”

The students in the dormitory all went home early for the holiday, and Wu Xiaojun was the only one left in the dormitory.

Bai Lingyan was worried about Wu Xiaojun's eating problem in the past few days, so she made his father's coal fire, bought some steamed buns and cooked vegetables, arranged a stop, and left the house key before reluctantly leaving.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Wu Xiaojun took a turn on the street, and compared with the bustling hustle and bustle of the past, it was unusually clean, all shops were closed, and pedestrians were relatively rare, because fireworks and firecrackers had been banned in the city for many years, and there was no New Year's atmosphere at all. When everyone was silent in the joy of the New Year, they were wandering alone in a foreign land, and suddenly felt strange and forgotten about the city, and the homesickness increased sharply. For Bai Lingyan to abandon his elderly parents at home and not be able to go back to accompany them, he felt very ashamed and sorry for them, and he began to wonder if he was right or wrong to do this? I was irritable for a while, depressed, and regretted, but he was helpless, he didn't want to think about it anymore, maybe the department might be the place he was going to, where he could spend his time.

Wu Xiaojun returned to Bai Lingyan's father's residence, ate the steamed buns and vegetables hot, went downstairs listlessly, browsed the Spring Festival couplets of various new posts along the road, and slowly walked towards the hospital. Suddenly, he heard someone next to him calling him, hurriedly turned his head, and not far away stood a beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a black one-piece down jacket and carrying packaged food in her hand, looking at herself with a pair of surprised eyes, he felt very familiar, and instantly remembered that it was Feng Weiwei's sister Feng Yudi, who took a few steps forward in surprise and asked, "Sister Feng, why are you here?" ”

Feng Yudi said with joy on her face, "Teacher Wu, I thought I recognized the wrong person, but I didn't expect it to be you, I didn't go home for the New Year!" ”

Wu Xiaojun smiled, "I have something to do, I'll go back after the festival." Didn't you and Manager Tong both transfer to the Northeast, and when did you come back? ”

Feng Yudi chuckled and said, "I just came back yesterday and cleaned up the house for a long time, so I just went to the nearby supermarket to buy something." ”

Wu Xiaojun asked puzzled, "Oh, you came back for something, right?" ”

Feng Yudi said, "It's a bit of a thing. In the first two years, Lao Tong and I were transferred to the Northeast, and it was easy at first for more than a year, but then it gradually became bad. Half a year ago, the factory suddenly carried out large-scale layoffs in accordance with the central government's spirit of laying off state-owned enterprises and diverting them, reducing staff and increasing efficiency, and Lao Tong and I were not spared. Later, when I thought about it, let's be laid off, some have experience and technology, and I don't have to worry about food anywhere. After all, I have been here for a long time and have many advantages, as soon as Lao Tong and I combined, he asked me to come back first to understand the situation here. By the way, if you don't have anything else, let's celebrate the festival together today, have a companion for each other, and we won't be lonely. ”

Wu Xiaojun lowered his head and thought for a while, they were all old acquaintances, and it didn't matter if he rubbed her to eat a meal, so he said with a smile, "Actually, I'm just idle and have nothing to do, so I'll be respectful and obey my fate, and disturb you!" ”

Feng Yudi showed a trace of excitement on her face, and said with a smile, "You're polite, it's all acquaintances, you're welcome, it's cold outside, go home!" ”
