One hundred and twenty-four, see relatives again
Stepping on that road again, Nian'er was still in a heavy mood. Do you really want to meet? Will you definitely see it?
After walking along the path for a long time, there was still no trace of Zhi'er. In this way, she felt a little relieved in her heart, it was good if she didn't see it, she didn't see it, it wasn't that she didn't want to see it.
Occasionally, one or two people walked by and looked at her with strange eyes. She didn't pay attention, anyway, not the first time she came.
She walked through houses, fields, and childhood memories of this place were gone. Perhaps, they also forgot about her, just as she forgot everything here.
"Your cucumbers are delicious, don't be so stingy!" A man's voice came.
"No, you picked so much last time, leave me some!" Another man said.
"I said you are rich, and your mother is not as stingy as you. If you continue like this, will you be worthy of your name? The man who spoke earlier laughed.
Rich? Is it Yu Fugui? Nian'er followed the prestige. I saw that the man who called him rich looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and thin, although he was not handsome, but his honest appearance made people look very comfortable. Nian'er looked at him and wondered in her heart: Does he look like himself?
"This eldest sister, is there something wrong?" The man who called the rich man was a little overwhelmed by her, and asked hurriedly.
"Oh, nothing." Nian'er said, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you recognize Mu Zhi?" I heard that she married into your village. ”
"Mu Zhi? It's Zhi'er! Fugui smiled innocently, "You can be regarded as asking the right person, she is my daughter-in-law!" ”
Nian'er knew in her heart, sure enough, he was Yu Fugui.
"I'm her friend, come and see her." Nian'er smiled, "Why didn't you see her come out?" ”
"She's pregnant, and my mother said she won't let her come out to work." Fugui smiled, saw an old man walking in front of him from a distance, hurriedly beckoned, and shouted, "Dad! ”
Nian'er was startled, and then looked in the direction that Fugui pointed to. I saw an old man in coarse cloth clothes carrying a bunch of things walking this way.
"Dad, why are you here?" Fugui said with a smile.
"The food sent by your mother is for the two of us." The old man said, "Let me send it to you, she will take care of your daughter-in-law." ”
"My mother treats her as a daughter, which is really enviable." Fugui took the lunch box and sat down on the spot.
Nian'er looked at the old man in a daze, motionless. Especially when she heard the word "daughter", her heart suddenly tightened.
The old man saw that the richly dressed woman in front of him was staring at him, and he felt a little strange in his heart. Take a closer look, and it feels more and more familiar, have you seen it somewhere?
"Oh, this one," Fugui noticed Nian'er and hurriedly stood up and introduced, "It's Zhi'er's friend." He turned to Nian'er again and said, "Eldest sister, this is my father." ”
Nian'er nodded slightly, but didn't know what to say. I can't say straight to the point, her name is Yu Nian'er, have you ever abandoned a daughter Yunyun before.
"Oh, it turned out to be a friend of my daughter-in-law," the old man smiled, "She's at home, still a little way from here, do you want me to take you there?" ”
"No need," Nian'er smiled, "I just heard this little brother say that Zhi'er is pregnant and it's inconvenient to go out, so I don't want to bother." ”
"Don't go yet," the old man stopped her, "since you're here, let's have some food before leaving." As soon as the words came out, the old man regretted it, this lady was a figure with a head and a face, how could she eat the food of their poor family?
Nian'er smiled, sat down beside them, and quietly looked at their father and son.
"I heard, how many years younger are you than Zhi'er?" Nian'er turned to Fugui and asked.
"I'm not a few years younger," Fugui grinned, "no matter how young she is, I'm a man, and I'll always take care of her." ”
"In the past, I only knew that the surname of the person Zhi'er married was Yu," Nian'er said lightly, "and I thought it would be difficult to find." I would venture to ask, how many families with the surname Yu are in this village? ”
"How many?" The old man smiled, "How many more households can there be, just our family!" You can inquire, the most difficult surname to write in the village is our family! ”
Nian'er's brain thudred, and her hands began to tremble. Suppressing all kinds of inexplicable emotions in her heart, she continued to ask: "Then may I ask this uncle, how long has your family lived here?" Who else is in the family? ”
"Just four people, an old couple, and a young couple!" For the strange woman's series of questions, the old man was not annoyed. Although the woman was richly dressed and obviously not the same person as them, he felt that the woman who had only met once had an indescribable affinity, "Our ancestors lived here, and it was a single lineage, and no one has left yet!" ”
A single pass? Nian'er snorted coldly in her heart, just for these four words, can you ignore the life or death of your own daughter? How many girls did you send away in exchange for Yu Fugui?
What about Zhi'er's belly? If it's a girl, do you want to send it away? Thinking of this, she stood up abruptly and said coldly, "I'm going to see Zhi'er." ”
"Eldest sister," Fugui also stood up, "it's quite a long way from here to my house, or I'll go back and drive the ox cart and drive you back!" ”
"No need," Nian'er said as she reached out and took off her high heels, "I can still walk this little way." "I can bear to be abandoned by you, what is it to walk?
Just a few steps barefoot, I felt a sharp pain in my right foot. When she stopped, she saw a sharp pebble digging into her flesh.
What the hell is going on, Ning Xi just broke her foot yesterday, and it will be her turn today. Are there ghosts?
"Eldest sister," Fugui hurriedly helped her up, and said, "Don't go to my house, I'll carry you to see the doctor!" ”
Nian'er looked at Fugui with a sincere look on his face and nodded lightly.
Lying on the back of Fugui, Nian'er was in a complicated mood. This is her brother! Her biological brother who is a fellow mother and blood tie. Over the years, she has not experienced family affection. Ning Xi and her are like sisters, Chang Sheng loves her deeply, and her children are lively and lovely. I also have a cheap brother like Lin Yuan, although he is not his own, but after getting along for so many years, he no longer cares about blood. However, her own brother, it was the first time she had such close contact.
"Am I heavy?" Nian'er asked with a wry smile.
"Hey, it's not sinking." Fugui smiled hesitantly, "We men are born to do this kind of work, you can just lie on your stomach with peace of mind." ”
Nian'er smiled, let her be greedy once, and enjoy the warmth of her relatives!
"Zhi'er's child, do you want to be a boy or a girl?" Nian'er thought about it and couldn't help but ask.
"It's all the same!" Fugui said, "As long as it's my child, I like it!" ”
Nian'er didn't say anything more. Maybe you're a first-time father now, and you're thinking so. One day, when the hardships of life and the pressure of your family make you have to bow your head, will you still remember what you said today?
Perhaps, your father and your mother thought so at the beginning, so after she remembered, she chose to abandon her instead of being born.
After thinking about it, she lowered her head, looked at Fugui's hand with her bag, and said, "Give me the bag." ”
"No," Fugui hurriedly turned back and said, "I haven't reached the entrance of the village yet, so I'll have to send you out of the village." Don't worry about not going, I'm not tired! ”
"I'm not coming down," Nian'er said, "just asking you to hand me the bag." ”
Fugui then handed her the bag.
Nian'er took out a piece of paper, a pen, and an envelope from her bag. After thinking about it, he took out another stack of money. She handed the bag back to Fugui, and then said, "Brother, can I borrow a few words from your back?" ”
"The eldest sister can write? All right! There was some excitement in Fugui's tone, "You know, our family admires people who have read books the most. ”
"Zhi'er has also read!" Nian'er said, pressing the paper on Fugui's back and writing.
"She said she just recognized, not how to write." Fugui said, "You can't teach me." By the way, will you come back in the future? ”
"Me?" Nian'er was choked by this question, and when she heard him say this, she vaguely remembered that when she was in the Dutong Mansion, she didn't seem to have seen Zhi'er write. She really didn't know how to answer the question of wealth - she didn't know if she wanted to come again.
"I knew you were coming," Fugui said with confidence, "you're Zhi'er's friend, and you're my friend. You're going to teach me how to write, right? ”
Still coming? Nian'er asked herself. For her own brother's request, she really couldn't say no to it.
On the other side, Yu Laohan thought about it repeatedly, where he had seen this woman. It wasn't until Fugui walked out of the far, far away carrying the woman on his back, that he suddenly remembered that this woman was what his wife looked like when she was young!
If that girl were still alive, she would be that old...... Yes, that's her! His wife also mentioned to him that the girl had served a Gege with Zhi'er. She is also a friend of Zhi'er...... No wonder she would have asked such a question just now, no wonder she would look at their father and son with such strange eyes...... Thinking of this, Yu Laohan threw down his hoe and ran towards the entrance of the village like a fly.
Seeing that Fugui came back alone, Yu Laohan stopped running stupidly, was it still so late?
"Dad, why did you come here?" Fugui asked in surprise.
"That girl...... Sent away? Old man Yu asked breathlessly.
"Send it away," Fugui nodded, "When I got to the entrance of the village, she wouldn't let me carry it and called a rickshaw." I saw the rickshaw take her to the hospital with my own eyes, and I found someone to send a message to her man before returning. By the way, she also left a letter for Zhi'er! Fugui said, holding up an envelope.
"What letter?" Yu Laohan snatched it and was about to open it, but he stopped it abruptly-he didn't recognize any of the words written on the envelope!
"I've studied, I've been able to write, and I've got money, okay!" Old man Yu muttered, "When I named her Nian'er, I just hoped that she would have the opportunity to study, but I didn't expect it to be promising!" Yu Laohan said, smiling with satisfaction.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Fugui asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing, let's go, I won't work this afternoon, let's go home!" Yu Laohan said excitedly.
