Chapter 61: Parting
When he heard Xue Er say the word 'can', Xue Chen only felt that his head was 'booming', and all the luck was shattered at this moment.
Xue Chen came to Xue Er in a few steps, stretched out his fist and smashed it on him: "You are a doll of a disaster, you are evil, how can we repay this debt to our old Xue family?"
The fist, which had no strength, smashed down on Xue Er's body, but it made him feel distressed.
Xue Chengwen looked at his younger brother who lowered his head and let his mother beat and scold, limped over from the side, and then comforted Xue Chen and pulled him away.
"Mother, calm down first, I think the second child still has something to say"
After listening to the eldest son's words, Xue Chen wiped the tears on his face casually, and said angrily: "What else can he say, what else does he have the face to say?" ”
Xue Chengwen knew that his mother was angry at the moment, and he didn't say anything more to her. Instead, he looked at Xue Er, who lowered his head and didn't speak, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why you told us these things today is because you should have some plans?"
Xue Chengwen's question immediately made the room quiet immediately. The other two listened to Xue Chengwen's words and turned their eyes to Xue Er's side.
If it is said that before Xue Chen's question was asked, Xue Er had always been undecided about his decision in his heart. So now, he really made up his mind.
Although he is not a hero, he also disdains to be a coward and evade his responsibilities.
So when Xue Chengwen asked, Xue Er was not as afraid as before.
Raising his head and looking at the three people in front of him, after gritting his teeth, Xue Er's thick voice finally sounded: "I plan to help the Wen family together." Heal Wen An'an's face."
Xue Chen listened to his son's words, and continued with a reasonable expression: "Of course. This is what we owe to others, and of course we have to pay it back like this."
Although the two women next to him didn't understand the meaning of Xue Er's words. But as soon as his younger brother's words spoke, Xue Chengwen knew his plan.
Letting go of Xue Chen's hand, Xue Chengwen walked up to his younger brother, looked him in the eyes, and said solemnly: "Do you know what you are talking about now?" ”
After staring at the eldest brother's eyes for a while, Xue Er still nodded extremely firmly.
Looking at the two sons who didn't know what they were playing, Xue Chen's Zou frowned and asked, "What are you two talking about?"
Xue Chengwen turned his head, looked at his mother worriedly, and said softly: "What Cheng Yong means." He's going to leave with the Wen family."
When he heard the eldest son say the word "leave", Xue Chen couldn't understand it for a while, and after a while, he remembered that the second son seemed to have mentioned it just now, saying that the Wen family wanted to leave here in the spring and treat the doll.
Thinking of this, Xue Chen looked at Xue Er, and when she saw that her son did not stand up to refute it, her heart fell straight down.
Isn't that ....... Doesn't that mean that her son is leaving her and leaving this home?
As a mother, no one wants to watch her son leave herself. Far away.
However, now she has no reason to be able to keep her son.
Xue Er looked at the hesitant expression on his mother's face, walked in front of her and knelt down: "Mother." You ......, it's your son who is not filial. I made it this way, but this decision was made after much consideration. I can't."
"Go, go, hurry up, if you don't cure other people's dolls, don't call me a mother in the future." Also, things like you have been at home for three days, and you can't see me before you can purify it. I'm doing well with your brother and sister-in-law, and without you, I can worry less."
Listening to Xue Chen's unpleasant words, Xue Er wanted to say something to comfort her, but he couldn't say a word when the words came to his lips.
Looking at the mother who turned her head, Xue Er had to kowtow to her three times, and without saying a word, he walked outside quickly.
Seeing his mother-in-law reluctantly staring at the figure of the little uncle, Xue approached her and said with some complaints: "Mother, why are you so troubled, as long as you say a word, in fact, the uncle is him."
"Daughter-in-law, no matter when, you must be a man with a conscience. It's our Xue family's fault, so we can't deny it. Although I haven't read a book, I still understand the truth of being a human being."
"Yes"
"But you don't have to say such heavy words to the second brother," Xue Chengwen on the side took his daughter-in-law's words and muttered.
In this matter, he felt that his brother's decision was the right one.
Just like his mother said, you have to be a man with your conscience, if Xue Er didn't choose like this today, even he, the eldest brother, would not let him go.
But intellectually this is the case, but emotionally it is the same thing, thinking that I don't know when the brothers will be able to meet in the future, Xue Chengwen's heart is also uncomfortable.
"If I don't say that, how can your brother be so relieved to go"
Retracting his gaze from a distance, Xue Chen suddenly looked like he was more than ten years old.
After staggering back to the house, Xue Chen opened his mouth and instructed his son and daughter-in-law beside him: "Boss, you go and ask the second child later, when he will leave." Daughter-in-law, don't go out these days, help me make a few more clothes for the second child, and give him a few more pairs of shoes. When he goes out, he's careless, if he gets sick or something in the future......"
Listening to his mother's thoughts, Xue Chengwen and his daughter-in-law's eyes turned red.
Time flies by in the busyness of everyone, from late autumn to winter, and then from winter to Spring Festival, until now there is some precarious early spring.
This year's Spring Festival, for the Wen family, there is no purchase of various New Year's goods, no visits from relatives and friends, and even laughter is much less than usual.
The Wen family survived the most joyful Spring Festival in a dull atmosphere.
Just after the winter, Wen Qing'an and his wife began to pack their luggage, and when everything was ready, they were ready to choose a good weather and set off.
And tonight is the last day of the Wen family's here.
In the silence of the night, there was a knock at the door.
When Wen Qing'an opened the door and saw that it was Lin Shaoyu standing outside the door, he was surprised and invited him into the door: "Brother Lin, why are you here at this time?"
"What about the children and their younger siblings?"
"I'll let them all go to bed, after all, we have to get up early tomorrow"
After following Wen Qing'an into the house, Lin Shaoyu handed him a cloth bag and said, "You take this, it can be regarded as a little bit of my eldest brother's heart."
Wen Qing'an took the cloth bag suspiciously, and when he opened it and saw a dozen taels of silver inside, plus a few silver tickets, he immediately covered the things and handed them back to Lin Shaoyu: "No, how can I ask for so much silver, can't our family leave and take away your family's savings, how can there be such a reason?"
As if he didn't see Wen Qing'an's movements, Lin Shaoyu only picked up the teacup on the table and played: "What is unreasonable, with the friendship between our two families, it is not okay to borrow some silver from you"
"Borrow?"
"yes, you think I'm stupid, giving you so much money, it's no good at all. This is what I lent you, and when you use this money to heal our An An's face in the future, you will tell her a richer family, so that you can ask for more dowry and come back, and when the time comes, I will divide half of it, and I will earn it."
Although Lin Shaoyu looked cynical now, Wen Qing'an was so moved that he couldn't even speak.
And Lin Shaoyu waited for a long time and didn't have any reaction from Wen Qing'an, he turned his head strangely to look here, and saw that he looked as if he was about to cry, so he pouted in disgust and said: "Okay, okay, isn't it just a few dollars, and it's not that you can't earn it back." Besides, there are also some of them that you lent to us before, and I'm just going to give it back to you."
After finishing speaking, Lin Shaoyu was afraid that Wen Qing'an would say something meaty, so he put down the cup and hurriedly walked out.
When he was about to walk to the door, Lin Shaoyu suddenly stopped, stood with his back to Wen Qing'an for a while, and then his hoarse voice sounded in the quiet night: "...... Qingan, if you can come back in the future, let's come back,...... This village will always be your home."
Looking down at the cloth bag in his hand, although Lin Shaoyu couldn't see it, he still nodded in response.
"Hey"
Listening to Wen Qingan's low voice coming from behind, Lin Shaoyu didn't say anything more, and disappeared into the night when he stepped out of the door.
The next day, when it was still dark, Wen Qing'an and his wife got dressed and got up. When breakfast was ready, the children were called up again. After the family had breakfast, they loaded the packed things into the wagon.
By the time everything was packed, it was just dawn.
At this time of day, the villagers are usually still asleep. The reason why they chose to hurry at this time was firstly to be able to find a foothold at noon, and secondly, because they did not want to alarm the villagers because of their departure.
The "squeak" of the door panel sounded clear and piercing in the silence of the morning.
Standing outside the house, looking at this place that carries their happiness and pain, everyone's heart is full of reluctance.
"Dad, we'll be back later."
Although it was a definite tone, it revealed the uncertainty in Wen Anze's heart.
Looking down at the two sons with a look of hope, Wen Qingan stroked his son's head with a smile and said softly: "Well, we will definitely come back"
This sentence is a promise to your family and to yourself.
After that, Wen Qing'an didn't say anything more, just took out the copper lock and put it on the copper ring of the wooden door.
"Click"
The crisp sound of the copper lock sealed the memories of the whole family here.
Turning around, he smiled softly at his wife and children, and Wen Qing'an led the carriageway: "Let's go, our family is going to start a new life."
The future is unknown for them, but they should not stop moving forward because they are afraid of the unknown. (To be continued......)
