211 Missing the first shift
Change the scene
The old Zhang family burned all the things that Widow Wang had used, and in Zhou Xiangxiang's words, it was to remove bad luck. She also planned to find two witches to come over and cleanse the house of evil spirits.
Zhang Yongxin's marriage has been negotiated, and Zhou Congxiang knew that her woman's stomach could not be dragged away, so she had to use a bride price of 100 yuan to complete this family business.
The wedding date was set for the eighteenth day of the first month, and Liu Si looked very happy.
Zhou Congxiang found a few elderly and full-lived women in the village to sew quilts. She has great expectations for this woman. What a glorious thing it is to marry into the city.
Zhang Yongxin acted like a nobody all day long, didn't care about anything, ate, slept and ate.
The marriage of Ou Lanlan and Wang Xiangyang was also decided, because Wang Xiangyang's family had everything, and the house was a new house. The wedding was prepared very quickly, earlier than Zhang Yongxin's, and was set on the ninth day of the new year.
The Ou family had already prepared the things for the marriage, six new quilts. The face of the big red satin, the snow-white lining, is very beautiful.
Both the Wang family and the Zhang family want to take advantage of the happy event of this child to rush into joy and sweep away the bad luck brought about by Wang Daling's drowning in the Spring Festival.
Change the scene
The train back to Harbin City encountered several temporary stops on the way, and it was too late. So the four of them arrived in Hacheng at noon on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and when they got off the train, they were all shouting that they were hungry.
I found a restaurant near the train station, and a large bowl of noodles for one person, divided by two by three, was swept away. Zhang Yang Zhang Chen is in the stage of growing his body, and he eats more than his sister, Zhang Xiaoqiang gave Zhang Yang some of the things in his bowl.
Li Aobai felt sorry for his daughter-in-law and said, "It's this, another bowl." You can't go hungry. ”
Zhang Chen nodded, and the four of them shared another bowl of noodles, and then drank two bowls of hot noodle soup.
Eat a full stomach. The four of them took the car to the small home of the troops. At this time, the temperature in Harbin City has not yet risen, and it is cold and swishing.
The whole city is still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year, and there are still many people in the car. The buses that are still shaking, the crowds. Li Aobai protects his two brothers-in-law, and he has to take care of his daughter-in-law not to be squeezed, and the image of a good man is the same as always.
The car arrived at the station. Transferred to another car, but fortunately, I finally got a seat. Li Aobai asked his daughter-in-law to sit. Zhang Chen sat in his sister's arms.
The scenery and objects outside the window became more and more familiar, and the terminal station arrived, and I got off the train. Finally arrived safely at the small home, and the two children ran ahead. The little couple followed.
Then. A military jeep came out of the face and drove in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang, slowing down to the slowest speed.
If you look closely, it's the aunt who lives in the high-level area!
Zhang Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "Auntie, happy New Year!" ”
The aunt got out of the car and said, "Did you just come back from your hometown?" ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded.
The aunt Zhang Xiaoqiang once helped was Wang Yaru, Fang Zhonglei's wife. She is indeed dressed very beautifully today, and she has changed her plain style in the past. A purple wool shawl with a face painted with light makeup. There was a smile in his eyebrows.
Wang Yaru looked at these four people with curious eyes. "What is this?" ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang pulled Li Aobai and said, "This is my husband, serving here, those two are my younger brothers, and they will go to school here in the future." ”
Wang Yaru nodded with a smile and said, "I'm going to go out for a while, you guys are busy." ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang said politely: "Auntie, goodbye!" ”
Li Aobai smiled and waved at Wang Yaru, this smile couldn't help but make Wang Yaru look a few more times.
She got into the car, and it was her husband Fang Zhonglei who was driving. The car started slowly, and Wang Yaru's eyes were always on the glass. Li Aobai's appearance was hovering in her mind, and she had an indescribable feeling.
Fang Zhonglei noticed his wife's expression in the rearview mirror, parked the car on the side of the road, and asked with concern: "Xiaoru, what's wrong with you?" ”
Wang Yaru said: "Nothing, let's continue to go." ”
The image of this young man touched her nerves deeply. Li Aobai did not wear a military uniform today, but wore a down jacket, and his body was full of the inherent ability and lofty strength of a soldier.
Wang Yaru's brows gradually twisted, involuntarily. Her heart was beating so fast that she didn't know why.
Fang Zhonglei looked at his wife's expression, and he said, "Xiaoru, are you feeling unwell, why don't you go to the health care doctor and let him take a look." ”
Wang Yaru shook her head and motioned for her husband to continue driving.
The car drove all the way to the outskirts, where they used to go on dates when they were younger. Quiet wilderness, silent mountains, mirror-like rivers.
Fang Zhonglei took off his coat and put it on for his wife. The two of them looked into the distance, and Wang Yaru said: "You remember that you said back then, if you miss someone too much, just look quietly into the distance and put him in your heart." Thinking that everything is okay and everything is going well with him. ”
Fang Zhonglei nodded, that was what the two would say every time they were separated. He was sometimes afraid that something would happen to him and that he would not be able to accompany his wife to old age, so he comforted his wife with such words.
Wang Yaru looked into her husband's eyes, she married this man, and she gave all her hopes to this loved one. Every word he said was an unforgettable memory for her.
"You said, too much worry is a curse, if you miss each other too much, don't worry, quietly rest assured, faintly guard this thought." Wang Yaru repeated the words again.
Fang Zhonglei felt that his wife was a little strange today, he put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "Xiaoru, what's wrong with you today, I know that I was not good before, and I gave you too much waiting." ”
Wang Yaru raised her head, looked at her husband and said, "I feel that our son, he is still alive, and I feel his existence." ”
Why doesn't Fang Zhonglei think so? The child who has never opened his mouth to call his father, the son who was born in his arms and has never been spoiled, he has been filled with thoughts all these years.
However, as the backbone of the family, too many grievances are swallowed into the stomach, and sadness is not allowed on the face, only a strong and manly smile. Many nights in the dead of night, a person does not know how many muffled cigarettes he smokes and how many tears he swallows in his stomach.
In the army, he is iron and steel, he is the commander of the army, he is a good son and husband at home, and in the country, he is even more charged, and he does his best.
Wang Yaru saw these in her eyes and hurt in her heart. She knew that Fang Zhonglei had suffered no less than her own loss of her son.
Sometimes, she kept silent about her son, and no longer brought back the heartbreaking memories.
For nearly 30 years, there has not been a trace of forgetting, but a painful memory.
Wang Yaru shed tears again and hugged her husband tightly. (To be continued.) )
