Guoqiang ate a few bites of noodles and felt all kinds of tastes in his heart. After every violence, he felt endless remorse, but he was unwilling to bow his head and admit his mistakes, so he simply turned that remorse into motivation to work for his father-in-law's family. But every time after a tiring day in Yangjiawan, he returned home and was upset, and so on, this young man in his early twenties tortured himself.

The closed door was pushed open, and a woman walked in. The woman in the blue cloth robe had a depressed face, and carried in her hand a wind-cage for the fire—a kind of charcoal oven.

"Guoqiang, are you going to the beam again?" The woman said that the beam was Yang Jiawan.

"Well, mother, Haifeng is asleep?" Guoqiang quickly got up and let his mother sit on the edge of the bed. For his mother, he is almost obedient. Guoqiang said that Haifeng is the son of the eldest brother, and the mother takes good care of the eldest grandson, although the eldest brother and his parents have separated, but the old lady takes Haifeng with her day and night.

"Hey, Guoqiang, our own fields haven't been cultivated, and now that your eldest brother has separated from us again, you don't want to give your father-in-law your life like that!" The old lady put the wind cage on the ground and rested her feet on it.

"Oh, there's still a big field, I'll be able to plough it tomorrow, and I'll come back to do the work!"

"You two are arguing again? Just now I saw Yang Shufang crying in the yard again! ”

"No, she took the baby out to breathe."

"I think this woman should also be beaten, pick up the baby all day after dark, and can't do a few things to live, and I'm afraid of getting wet feet in the field when I go to plant a small seedling today."

"Mother, the little begonia also needs to be brought by someone!" Guoqiang is a little helpless, the eldest brother and his family are making a lot of money, and the farm work they should do is not left behind, he doesn't care about his parents, but the child is lost to his mother, and his mother is also willing to be a baby. is just unwilling to bring little begonias, which makes Guoqiang so distressed!

"Today the captain came again and called you to go for ligation. You can't go, you have to have a son! ”

"Dr. He has said that Shufang can't get pregnant anymore!"

"He said he couldn't conceive, so he couldn't conceive? I don't think that the surname He is a good thing, and that time I told you not to cut that knife, but you didn't believe it. If she really can't give birth, isn't it because of her surname? ”

Guoqiang also regretted it, and took the child out of his stomach with an opening in his belly, why did he agree to this "ridiculous thing"? Although the policy says that you can't have two, which family doesn't give birth to two or three? He Xie Guoqiang didn't believe that he couldn't give birth, he had to give it a try! What "if you are pregnant with a child, not only will you not keep the child, but even adults will not be able to protect it" is nonsense, my mother has said it, it is difficult for her to have a big brother, and she has not given birth to herself and Guozhi later!

"Mother, I'll talk to Shufang again!"

"What's there to say, you can't do anything about her as a big man? I think you're a pig's brain! ”

"Mother......

"You try again, if you really can't get pregnant, you call her to go to Shanghuan, you can't have a ligation anyway."

"Mother, Dr. He said that she couldn't ...... in the past two years."

"It's hard to talk to you. Haifeng cried, I went back to the house, I told you, my mother-in-law is not used to it, the more used it is, the more intense! She got up and walked out of the door with a wind cage, and saw Shufang holding the child standing at the door, glared fiercely at the "unlucky" daughter-in-law, and went back to the house.

"Coming back?" Guoqiang asked coldly.

Shufang didn't say anything, put the sleeping little begonia in the cradle and got into the bed. Her lonely heart has been frozen by the cold air outside, the man next to her makes her feel a little warm, why doesn't she want to have another child, but she can't, that kind of pain and dying only she knows! She also went to the health center many times to ask the doctor, and the doctor's answer was to ask her man to go for sterilization immediately.

Xiao Haitang, who has been ten months old, slept quietly alone, and her little hands tightly protected the bridge of her injured nose......

The next day, Xie Guoqiang worked hard for Shufen's house as usual. Because Shufang never wanted to tell her mother's family about her misfortune, Shufen's family was extremely satisfied with this hard-working son-in-law, but except for buying some cloth for Xiao Haitang to make some clothes, the family had nothing to repay. Many times I feel guilty that Shufang can no longer fill in a child for the Xie family, and I only hope that Shufang can be more virtuous and hardworking in the Xie family!

Many of Shufen's classmates in Shiqiao gave up the high school entrance examination, and after getting their graduation certificates, they still returned to the countryside to become farmers.

The family pinned this hope on Shufei, Xiao Shufei is indeed more talented than the second sister, and can take the first place in the examination among more than 500 students of the same grade in the township, but she is not proud, and after doing housework every day after school, she pesters her sister to preview tomorrow's lessons......

－－－－－－－－

Liu Yonghan fell asleep in this small bed that had just allowed himself. He saw Ma Lanhua, dressed in a blue plaid cloth and with two pigtails, singing a beautiful song by the village stream...... But the singing became more and more blurred, and her vision became more and more hazy, until the two children came and called "Mommy", and she left with tears in her eyes, and completely disappeared from her dream......

Liu Yonghan, who woke up from a dream, had his eyes half-closed. He knew that the hundreds of yuan that the village chief handed over could not make up for his mistakes at all, and the cowardly himself didn't even have the courage to talk to his former lover, let alone a blessing for the obviously unsatisfactory status quo.

That's it - that's all! Go back to the dock, let a qiē start from the beginning, let those who once were memories become memories, and let the homeland in that memory become a new beginning, I am still very young in my thirties......

"Uncle, are you awake?" Before I knew it, it was already dawn, and Fu Shun stood in front of him with a hot fat rice roll, "Eat a bowl of fat rice rolls, and then let's go cut our hair......"

Ah, what a familiar scene, except that the two people have reversed roles. Fushun has grown up, and this more and more sensible child can already take charge of himself at this dock.

"Okay, Shun'er, eat!" Liu Yonghan got up and sat down at the desk and devoured it. Looking at Fushun, who was also gobbling up, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the past qiē turned into this steaming heat.

"Shun'er, there are a lot of people on the dock doing work now? How many bosses are in contact with us now? Have you ever been embarrassed? How about meals in the kitchen? Liu Yonghan threw out a lot of questions at once, which was similar to yesterday's depression.

"There are more people than years ago, many people have brought some relatives from the countryside, and the place where they live is a bit crowded; The bosses are still the same as before, and the warehouse has never been idle; I'm sorry, uncle, I've always told outsiders that you are my godfather, I know ......"

"I was originally your godfather, since the day I pulled you new clothes, I am now, and I will be in the future!" Liu Yonghan wiped his long hair that was a little sticky, "What about the kitchen?" ”

"Because the wages for cooking are so low, many people don't want to be in the kitchen, they prefer to go to the dock to move goods and eat outside. It's a little scattered! ”

"So what is Gui Ying doing all day?" Liu Yonghan seemed to remember something, "By the way, is Yang Guiying gone?" ”

"Not yet, she wants to apologize to you in person......"

"No need, you let her go, I don't treat her badly! Shun'er, I'm for your good, she's so young, so snobbish, and she will pay it back in the future, you stay away from her! Liu Yonghan really won't treat anyone badly, even his former good friend - Zhu Lianhua, who was sorry for him later, "Scar Liu" didn't forget to find someone to bring some money to her rural children before the New Year.

"Uncle, Sister Gui Ying, she is also confused for a while......"

"Foolish, you said that her mother lives in a cave in her hometown, and she is crazy, and she has never seen her go back to take a look! You tell her to go back, a person who doesn't even want relatives, so what's the deal? ”

"Her brother is a gambler, she ran out quietly, and she will definitely be killed when she goes back!"

"Don't worry about her, you can't say that you call her, I'll tell her!"

Fu Shun lowered his head, he knew Sister Gui Ying's temper, if Liu Yonghan really pulled her face and asked her to leave here, she would definitely rather go to "beg for a mouth" than go back. Fu Shun couldn't think of the big truths that his uncle said, but for this Sister Gui Ying who saved his life, his greatest hope was that she could be happy, just like that time in the stove room, carefree study of cooking, and knitting some scarves when she was in a good mood......

Gui Ying was afraid of Yang Jiawan, even if Shufen told them in a letter that Brother Gui Yong had built a tiled house and married a daughter-in-law, she didn't have a trace of excitement when she saw her, but because her blind mother still lived in a cave and wept. She once told Fushun that she wanted to make a lot of money in the city, and then she went to rent a house and take her mother with her.

But now, he has to hurry up and bring Gui Ying to Liu Yonghan, this is the biggest difference from last night, at least he is willing to see Sister Gui Ying again. Maybe he changed his mind as soon as he breathed a breath and his heart softened?

Unexpectedly, Gui Ying was already standing at the door, wearing clean clothes, her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she was carrying a bag of luggage on her back.

This woman who is well-dressed and has a delicate figure is no longer the "beggar" who came to the countryside a year ago, the sixteen-year-old watershed has made her fall off the appearance of a big girl, and Jiang Yun's urban atmosphere has sculpted her into a little foreign......

"Uncle Liu, I'm ready to leave, but I still want to say sorry and thank you to you, I lied to you, I know that you will never forgive me for the rest of your life. For so long, you have always treated me and Fushun as your own children, giving us food, clothing, and use," Gui Yingqiang held back her tears, "I want to thank you even more for being able to treat Fushun as your own child, after I leave, you must treat him well, you don't let him go to find any big brother, you treat him as your own son......" Gui Ying finally couldn't help crying, and the tearful Fushun stood beside her and gently held her hand.

"Shun'er, take a hundred yuan from the tin box, this month's salary and her fare......" Liu Yonghan twisted his head to the side, he didn't want to see this scene of life and death.

"No need, Uncle Liu......" Gui Ying took Fu Shun's hand and rushed out of the accounting room......
