On the second day of the second week of moving to Grandma Xu's house, Mrs. Wu pushed Xu Ming to the park for a walk after breakfast. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's the beginning of summer, but the beach is still as warm as spring. The sunlight shone lightly on Xu Ming's closed eyes and refreshed face through the dense leaves, and Mrs. Wu pulled out an unknown small yellow flower from the fallen leaves on the ground, braided a ring, and quietly put it on the ring finger of Xu Ming's left hand.

Recently, in order to read and write, she read some bitter novels about life and death, all of which were recommended by Xu Ming. said that he had seen it before, and after reading the sad story and comparing it with his current situation, he felt that he was really lucky and happy now. After reading it, her whole heart was sullen and uncomfortable, although everything was just a fictional story, and the men and women who were obsessed with love were separated and parted, which also made her very sentimental.

"This ring is good, I like it, it's unique, it's chic and beautiful." Xu Ming said as he played with the flower ring in his hand.

"Well, if you like it." Mrs. Wu responded lightly, a little absent-minded.

"What do you think? The soul is not guarded. ”

"No, I didn't think about anything, by the way, it's summer, my sister-in-law has called several times to urge, when are you going to accompany me back?"

"Well, actually, I thought, you can't wait any longer, so anxious? Now I can't run away, are you still afraid that someone will rob me or what? ”

"Well, I'm afraid, I'm afraid." Mrs. Wu took Xu Ming's hand, looked at Xu Ming's eyes affectionately and said.

"Well, why are you so seriously sad all of a sudden?"

"Alas, I'm afraid there will be any accidents, it's not easy for us to be together. Now I accompany you every day, and I am with you, happy as if in a dream. I'm afraid that there will be any extraneous complications. I'm really scared. I am always unsure. As she spoke, tears welled up in Mrs. Wu's eyes.

"I know, I know. You can rest assured. It's just that you don't understand, I don't want to go back with you like this because, I want to wait for me to stand up, wait for me to come back to that whole me, and then go back with you. I know you don't mind, and I don't mind, but someone will. I don't want your hometown folks to make irresponsible remarks about you again. Xu Ming wiped away the tears from the corners of Mrs. Wu's eyes and said.

"I know, I understand, but I am, I just don't feel sure. You and I are relieved, but I am afraid of grandma, grandma she ...... "grandma was so resolutely opposed before, and inexplicably agreed, and now she is so good to herself for no reason." Mrs. Wu felt that Grandma Xu was really unpredictable, and she was afraid that Grandma Xu would suddenly oppose it again, what should she do at that time?

"Don't worry, you can trust me. When I'm better enough to stand longer, we'll go back." ”

"Hmm." It's probably because I've seen too much of other people's ups and downs, that's why I'm so worried and sad for no reason. In fact, if Grandma Xu really objects to two people being together, what if they get married? She didn't have a way to keep them apart.

"Let's go, let's go back, I'm a little thirsty."

"Yes, my eldest husband. Let's go back, by the way, grandma said that Sister-in-law Zhang will come back today. ”

"Sister-in-law Zhang? Oh, you said that you fellow, the one who took a half-year leave for something a while ago? ”

"Well, Grandma said she's from our town, too, and if she does, she might know each other. But I don't remember our village with the surname Zhang. Grandma said that the dishes she cooked were the best, and you would be blessed in the future. Mrs. Wu said with a smile, since she came here, except for Wu Duo, she has not seen anyone from her hometown. Naturally, Wudo, she didn't want to see him anymore, and she didn't want to talk to him for half a word. But it's a joy to have a fellow who can come and talk about his hometown with him.

"I'm back, young lady...... Yes, yes, yes. You? ”

"Yes, you!?"

Mrs. Wu and the woman who ran out to stand by the door to greet them all screamed, causing Xu Ming, who was beside Mrs. Wu, to stare at the woman standing at the door in surprise. The woman, who was probably in her forties, was staring at Madame Wu with surprise and disbelief on her face.

Mrs. Wu's face turned white, white and red, and she grabbed Xu Ming's hand tightly, not knowing what to do.

Is there such a coincidence in the world? How did she end up here? Could it be that Grandma Xu did it on purpose? Impossible? Did you admit that you were wrong?

"What's wrong with you, ma'am." Xu Ming patted Mrs. Wu's hand and comforted.

"No, no, not much. Let's go inside. Mrs. Wu pushed Mrs. Wu straight into the door, leaving the woman standing alone at the door.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, why haven't you come in? Ming is back, this is the blessed man I told you, aren't you fellow countrymen? Let's get to know each other, right? Inside the house, Grandma Xu took Mrs. Wu's hand and shouted at the door.

The woman blushed and lowered her head and hurried over: "Alas, alas, old lady, no, I don't know. There are many villages in our town, and the villages are far away from each other, so I don't know this young grandmother. ”

"Oh, you are Sister-in-law Zhang, grandma often mentions you and says that the dishes you make are delicious. The dishes cooked by our wife are also delicious, and you will have time to communicate and learn from them in the future. Xu Ming looked at Sister-in-law Zhang and said.

"Well, okay, okay," Sister-in-law Zhang nodded in response, and said as if she remembered something: "Old lady, actually, in fact, when I came back this time, I wanted to tell you that I wanted to quit my job." I, something happened to my family recently, I, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to work in the future. We want to go back to our hometown. ”

"Oh, so? Didn't you just say that you would do it well in the future. How? Grandma Xu looked at the inconsistent sister-in-law Zhang, her face full of puzzlement.

"Yes, yes, just now, I just received a phone call, and I just told me about the situation at home. I, I, really, really, it's embarrassing. Sister-in-law Zhang said hesitantly.

"Oh, that's a shame. I'm really reluctant to let you go, but if I really can't help it, I'll find another person. Grandma Xu said as she shook her head. You're the most skillful and sweet-talking babysitter I've ever used. It's a pity. ”

"Well, thank you for your fancy old lady, I'm really sorry for this, I'm sorry to cause you trouble." Sister-in-law Zhang said crampedly: "Old lady, anyway, there are still Xiaoqing and Orange at home, and they have learned almost all my craft." I won't wait for you to find a new person to replace me, I have to go back quickly, or the house will not stop. ”

"Okay, then you go to the housekeeper and settle the salary you left over from the other day and go back. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me, and I will definitely help if I can. ”

"Alas, thank you, old lady, I'm leaving." After Sister-in-law Zhang finished speaking, she left in a hurry, and did not go to the manager's side, but went out of the hospital directly.

"It seems that there is really something urgent, she left in such a hurry, she didn't even go to her own room, I don't know if she will come back to ask for a salary. Now the migrant worker's wages are in arrears, and when he cries, makes trouble, and goes online, the whole family loses face. In a few days, I asked the manager Lao Zhang to send her salary, and then see if there were any of her things left, and then packed them up and sent them over. Grandma Xu said to Xiaoqing, who was cleaning beside her.

"Yes, old lady." Xiaoqing responded.

"Oh, blessed man, why is your face so bad? Isn't it sick? Grandma Xu looked at Mrs. Wu, who was standing beside Xu Ming with a pale face, and said.

"Oh. It's okay, grandma, probably because I'm tired of pushing me back, she's always been so white. Go Madame, accompany me back to my room. Xu Ming hurriedly said, Xu Ming thought that there must be a problem, did that person Mrs. Wu know? Go back to your room and ask.

"Oh, good." Only then did Mrs. Wu withdraw her gaze at the courtyard door, answered blankly, and pushed Xu Ming into the room.

Grandma Xu muttered on the side: "Alas, I originally thought that it would be good to have a fellow countryman to accompany this child and help her take care of Ming'er together." That's a pity. ”

Although Mrs. Wu was a little distracted, Grandma Xu's words came into her ears clearly and word for word. Could it be that Grandma Xu deliberately said it to herself? Could it be that Grandma Xu knows about that person and herself? Could it be that the person who saved Xu Ming with him that day was really Wuda? Did they come here together? That day, he was in first aid, Xu Ming came out, and he didn't care to see the person's appearance clearly. The man didn't talk much and wore a hat, but at the end he said something strange: "I owe you a lot." ”

"What's the matter, ma'am, hey, what's wrong?" Xu Ming pushed Mrs. Wu, who was in a trance.

Mrs. Wu came back to her senses and looked at Xu Ming, who was looking at herself with a smile on her face. She threw herself into his arms and sobbed softly. These days, she thought that she had already let go of everything, and even the fact that she would never be able to have a child, she had to accept it calmly. But see those who passed, those familiar faces. She still couldn't help but feel down, and her nose was sour.

"What's wrong? Do you know that man? Xu Ming asked.

"Hmm." Mrs. Wu drilled into Xu Ming's arms hard, recalling the cold past, she needed his warm embrace even more. "Hold me tight, Xu Ming. Tighten it up. Tighten it up. ”

"Don't say what you don't want to say, and don't think about it if you don't want to think about it." Xu Ming gently patted her back to comfort her, looking at her like this, and thinking of where the sister-in-law came from, he roughly guessed the identity of that person. It's just that I don't want to have such a coincidence, and when I think of Wuduo, I can't help but feel a little ridiculous. This earth is really round, and it's really not big.

"Well, that person, that person is Jifu's sister-in-law." Mrs. Wu pulled out of Xu Ming's arms, wiped her tears and said.

"I guessed it."

"Really, how could it be so coincidental, it turns out that her surname is Zhang, and I really don't know her last name. It's really bleak to say, I've been getting along for three or four years, being together almost every day, seeing each other every day, and I don't even know her last name. ”

"Sometimes, things in this world are just such coincidences." He thought of Budo again, the first time he saw him at the construction site, where he was shirtless in the winter pushing stones. Everyone else was pushing a few stones, but he pushed a cart full of more than twice as many as others. It is faster and more stable than others. Everyone else was shivering in heavy winter coats, and he was shirtless and sweating profusely.

When I saw him for the first time, he felt that he was special, and after talking to him a few more words, he felt that he was very close to him and looked very kind. Who would have thought that man was his half-brother? Really, things in this world are sometimes more exaggerated and absurd than in movies and novels.

"Do you blame her?" Xu Ming asked.

"Blame her? If you want to say that it's not to blame, it's a lie, and it was indeed to blame her at the beginning. I wasn't good at socializing, and she was the only one who usually came and went in the village. She also treated me very well and often helped me with farm work. When the men weren't at home, the two of us were basically busy together. Once, when it was raining in the summer, the thunder was very loud, and she knew that I was afraid of thunder, so she went to my house to accompany me. I have an older brother in my family, and I thought of her as my sister at that time. It's just, probably, I'm not very good at expressing it. Who would have thought that she would ......"

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it. It's all gone. Xu Ming took Mrs. Wu into his arms again and comforted him softly.

"Actually, there is a saying in our hometown that flies don't bite seamless eggs, and if you really want to blame it, you have to blame the stinky egg. When I saw her for the first time just now, I thought I had recognized the wrong person, and I had been too happy recently, and I was always in a trance. I thought I was thinking too much. ”

"Well, if I had known, I wouldn't have let you read those bitter novels, why are those things good medicine for me but counterproductive to you. Look at you these days. ”

"I think there is a saying in that book that life is like a play, and drama is like life, probably the way we are now. My messy things, singing and playing, probably still have people who love to watch. Mrs. Wu said self-deprecatingly.

"Well, there has been progress, and now I will quote scriptures when I speak. No wonder Lin Yue saw me a few days ago, blame me for teaching you too sour, and speak like this. You must be showing off when you talk to her. ”

"I didn't, I just felt it. At my level, which is also the level of graduating from high school, I dare to quote scriptures from you. It's just that I think it sounds good and can express my current mood very well, so I said it casually. ”

"Well, I'll find more classics for you to see in the future."

"Well, I still have a doubt in my heart now. I don't want to hide it from you, and you don't have to think much about it. Mrs. Wu looked at Xu Ming with a pool of clear eyes and said.

"Well, there's a lot more to think about between us. Though you say, I will only listen, and never think much about it. Xu Ming said seriously.

"Sister-in-law Najifu is here, if they have a child and are still together, then, that ,......"

"You're saying Wuda is here too?" Xu Ming said in surprise.

Mrs. Wu didn't speak again, she hung her head silently, and wiped away a few tears from the corners of her eyes. A few tears, just a few tears, Mrs. Wu thought.
