Wu Pingshun and Wu Xiaomei discussed, "Since the distance is not far, instead of waiting here, it is better to walk back directly." ”

So-

The two of them walked slowly in the direction pointed out by the shopkeeper, admiring the huge corn on both sides of the road, and they didn't know how long they walked, and when they came to an intersection, they stopped.

Raising her eyes and looking into the distance, Wu Xiaomei said in surprise, "Dad, have we walked by, you see how the high chimney of the oil refinery is in the direction behind us, and in the morning, we will go to that small temple, which is further away from here!" ”

Wu Pingshun looked around, he came from the holy forest and walked forward, the holy forest was in the direction behind him, he did walk through, and he only walked forward in the direction of the small temple.

Thinking that it was not far away, it took nearly an hour to walk until I arrived at Zhangpimple Village, and after inquiring several people, I found the door of the family home.

The two of them tossed in a daze for nearly a day, and they were very aggrieved in their hearts, they knew that they should not go out alone, and they would not have taken such a long unjust road accompanied by Xiaojun or Bai Lingyan, let alone in a hurry, and it was too late to regret it now.

After all, it's not a good thing, it looks embarrassing to say it, Wu Pingshun didn't want to confess to them in front of Bai Lingyan, and said with a sigh, "I'm old, my head is not working, my legs and feet are inconvenient, it's really useless, I went to the Holy Forest, and I turned around the Furniture City, and it took so long to make you both worried!" ”

As long as the person can touch it back and nothing happens, the rest doesn't matter, and Wu Xiaojun can't say anything.

Bai Lingyan said with some distress, "Uncle, second sister, you two went out early in the morning and only came back now, and you haven't eaten yet!" Xiaojun is anxious to find the two of you everywhere in Zhang Pimple Village and Shenglin on bicycles, and if you cook late at noon, you two will eat! ”

Wu Xiaomei said in a dull mood, "Xiaobai, my father and I have already eaten in the Holy Forest, and we don't feel hungry yet!" ”

I didn't eat a bowl of rice noodles in Shenglin at all, and I walked back and forth in the cornfield for such a long time, and the little energy I replenished had already been exhausted.

Wu Pingshun slowed down for a while, slowly lit a cigarette, and said with a solemn expression, "Xiaojun, Xiaobai, such a big matter as the marriage of the two of you, I should have handled it for you, I wanted to buy a wedding bed for the two of you, but I went to Shenglin Furniture City for most of the day, but I didn't find a suitable one, and I don't know what you two want, whether it suits your two or not, I didn't dare to buy it!" Now that Dad is old, it seems that he can't help you two anymore, and it's all up to the two of you! ”

The old man is now unable to protect himself, and he still thinks about his unfinished responsibilities, dragging his tired body to worry about Xiaojun's marriage, and spending so much trouble choosing a marriage bed for Xiaojun, Bai Lingyan was particularly moved in her heart, couldn't help but burst into tears, choked up and said, "Uncle! My aunt has just passed away, and your old heart is also very painful, you have done enough for me and Xiaojun, so that I will never forget, I am also a child from the countryside, I know that our rural people live a very hard life, it is not easy, we can handle the marriage of the two of us, you can relax! Besides, the fact that Xiaojun is not by your side and cannot take care of you is enough to make you miserable! We are both young, and now we have regular jobs, and we will get better day by day in the future, so don't worry! ”

Bai Lingyan was so reasonable, which comforted Wu Pingshun's uneasy mood a little, and said in a cold voice, "Xiaobai! With your words, the uncle will be satisfied, and his heart will be steady, and your aunt will also be blind under Jiuquan. As long as you and Xiaojun are good in the future, Uncle has nothing to worry about. Don't worry, Uncle won't bother you, now I have paid off all the money owed by the family, this time, I specially prepared 2,000 yuan for the two of you, I know it's not enough, reduce the burden on you two a little. For the rest, the two of you will find a way to borrow something, even if you grit your teeth, we have to do a good job of the wedding, and you can't let the two of you look down on the two of you in the unit, and it will be difficult to mix in the unit in the future! ”

As he spoke, he opened the cloth bag layer by layer with trembling hands, took out the money and put it in front of Wu Xiaojun.

Wu Xiaojun couldn't help crying, his father thought too much for himself, not only from the heart, but also for Bai Lingyan to see, he didn't want to leave anything to say in front of Bai Lingyan, "Dad, I know the situation at home very well, you are not in good health, there are many places to spend money, you can take it back, I won't ask for this money no matter what!" ”

"Xiaojun, you are in a hurry to use the money now, you were raised by me and your mother, and you are about to start a family, which is a little bit of my heart for you! Even if the girl goes out, she has to have a little bit of a dowry, how can I bear to be a white horse, it should be my dowry for you! ”

Bai Lingyan saw that Wu Pingshun's attitude was very sincere, and the old man who didn't accept this money must be upset, so he said, "Uncle, thank you!" You and my parents are in the same mood, both for me and the army, I think so, some time ago my father gave me five hundred, and I will keep you five hundred! ”

Wu Pingshun didn't like to listen to this sentence, and said angrily, "Xiaobai, it's not that the uncle has some traditions, and his thoughts are stubborn, although your parents and I have the same mood for the two of you, but things are different, we are marrying daughters-in-law, adding people to import, you are from our martial arts family, and your parents are married to girls." Since ancient times, it has been the man who has done happy events again, and I still have the breath now, so I naturally have to carry the big head, so it is decided, take all the two thousand yuan, otherwise, I will not be here that day! ”

Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan immediately understood, it turned out that the old man was arguing for this reason, and he insisted on not wanting it, and no one could stop him as soon as his stubborn temper came up.

Bai Lingyan said faintly, "Okay, uncle, I and Xiaojun will save it for you first!" ”

Wu Pingshun saw that Bai Lingyan accepted the money and removed a piece of heart disease, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

This is the heart of the elderly, a selfless heart for their children without any return, a heart that gives without regrets, and a heart that makes children moved and grateful to Dade.

Wu Pingshun was anxious to come to see his son when he was at home, and saw that his son was here to lead and care, and he had a very harmonious relationship with Bai Lingyan, both of them had formal jobs, and they were all good, and they were relatively satisfied.

Rao is like this, but he feels that there is nothing to do here, a little boring, and he began to think about his family, thinking that a cow in the family was entrusted to Xiaoyun to take care of, and Xiaoyun also had a lot of things at home, and it was not a matter to let her watch it, so he discussed with Xiaomei and went back quickly.

Seeing that the main day is about ten days, and his father will have to come over when the time comes, Wu Xiaomei is really a little scared when she thinks about the hard work along the way, and she can't bear to let her father suffer that sin again, and she won't let him toss back and forth.

Wu Pingshun saw the thrilling scene of Wu Xiaomei's motion sickness on the way here, and he couldn't bear to let her go back alone, however, her child was small, and she couldn't go back.

The two of them argued about this matter for a long time, and they didn't settle down, and in the end, it was Bai Lingyan who relieved the siege and asked Wu Pingshun and Wu Xiaomei to go back together, and when the time came, it would depend on the situation, if they could come, they would come, and if they couldn't come, they wouldn't come, because the old man was already aware of the situation of the wedding here, and his heart was clear, so there was nothing to worry about.

The ride on the long-distance bus is too bumpy, the time is too long, it is too tiring, there is no night shift, from the perspective of comfort and safety, the two went back this time, chose to take the night train, basically the next day at seven or eight o'clock to arrive.

In the evening, Wu Xiaojun sent Wu Pingshun and Wu Xiaomei to the train station, and since the departure time was more than ten o'clock in the evening, the three of them had more time to chat.

At this time, Wu Xiaomei didn't have any worries and scruples, and told me everything about the morning.

Wu Xiaojun listened to the heart very uncomfortable, in normal times, with his father's spirit of not forgetting passing by, this situation will not occur at all, it seems that his father's mental blow and stimulation, so strict, big is completely beyond his imagination, I feel very sorry for his old man.

Wu Pingshun was very sorry and said, "Serve the army! Although you are staying in Pingxi now, no one can imagine what will happen in the future, you know very well what your current unit looks like, it is simply incomparable with our county hospital, and your current situation is much worse than in our county. How good that Shao Yingying is, I don't look worse than Bai Lingyan, and his parents are also more reasonable than Bai Lingyan's family, if you go back to the county and marry her, maybe you will still be in the county hospital, like your third brother Xiaosen, how can you still let you carry so many things alone, it's not easy to live your own life, these are all found by yourself. ”

Wu Xiaomei then blamed, "You are the most valued and relieved child of our father, if you were in the county, our mother would not have left so early, and our father would not have fallen to the point where he is today, this is all your sin!" ”

Wu Xiaojun understood the feelings of the assassin's father and second sister very well, and did not know how to answer their statement, neither wanting to explain anything, nor being able to explain, but bowed his head sadly and sobbed, silent.

Wu Pingshun looked at Wu Xiaojun's very depressed appearance, and couldn't help but feel distressed and pity, and sighed, "People's fate, heaven is destined, this is fate, it's too late to say anything now, you can only resign yourself to fate!" ”

"Please note that the 1138 train from Xijing to Nanjing is about to arrive, please start checking your ticket! ――”

Wu Pingshun and Wu Xiaomei immediately got up from their seats, carried the luggage and followed the long line of followers forward, and the moment they walked into the entrance, Wu Pingshun suddenly turned around and said in a trembling voice, "Xiaojun, as long as I have a breath, I will definitely come that day, even if we are poor, we must have backbone, and we can't let others look down on us!" ”

Wu Xiaojun watched his father and second sister disappear into the sudden flow of passengers, walked out of the waiting hall in a dull mood, came to the square in front of the station, sat on the steps, looked up at the starry sky, and thought about his father's rickety back, the sentence "As long as I have a breath, I will definitely come that day, even if we are poor, we must have backbone, and we can't let others look down on us!" "I can't be calm for a long time.

When the clock embedded in the top of the tall stone pillar struck twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Wu Xiaojun woke up from his chaotic thoughts and returned to the Cross Street office in despair, where he had not been for many days.

Seeing that the lights were still on, I wondered in my heart, who was still working overtime so late?
