Chapter 222: Irretrievable
"Uncle, may I ask, where does Lu Zonghua's family live?" Zeng Yifang stopped an elderly villager with gray hair who looked to be in his sixties while leading a cow to go home.
"Lu Zonghua? Lu Zonghua has been dead for several years. Who are you? "The old man is very strange, these two people don't look like they are from the countryside, and their accents don't look like southwesterners.
Zeng Yixin hurriedly said: "We are his classmates, come and visit his parents." ”
"I see. Lu Zonghua's kid was really evil, he went out of school easily, and found a good job. Send money back home every month. It turned out to be an accident. It's a pity that a good offspring. The old man sighed, pointed to a very dilapidated house in the distance, and said, "You follow this road all the way, and their houses are the most dilapidated in the village." Their family spent a lot of money on sending their children to school, and before the children could earn money to support the family, something happened. After Lu Zonghua died, Lu Zonghua's mother fell seriously ill again and almost died. In the end, it cost a lot of money, and the person finally came back to life. But the money lost by Lu Zonghua in the car accident was almost used. I heard that someone has been sending money to their family, but Lu Zonghua's parents dare not use it. I'm afraid that someone will come over and ask for the money. In fact, they are just too timid. People send money, and their names are clearly written on it. How could it be a mistake? And it's been several years since I sent it, and there was never a free month. ”
"Uncle, thank you." The Zeng sisters said goodbye to the old man and walked along the road to Lu Zonghua's house.
The sun had set over the mountain beams in the west, and the clouds on the horizon were burned red.
Lu Zonghua's mother, Zhang Xiulian, glanced up at the entrance of the village, as if she was looking forward to seeing her son suddenly appear in front of her eyes. But it soon occurred to me that my son would never be able to come back. There was a sigh.
"Hehe." Zhang Xiulian drove the returning chickens and ducks into the cage.
Lu Zonghua's father, Lu Binglin, was still working in the field with a hoe at this time. There is no son. The work also seems to lose its power. Dig a hoe. Always take a good break.
"Ahem." Lu Binglin's cigarette was heavier than before, he coughed for a long time, and he was still reluctant to throw away the cigarette that was constantly smoking on his trembling left hand. Since the loss of his son, this cigarette has been his only spiritual solace. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't let go of his wife, Lu Binglin really wanted to follow his son to the Kingdom of Elysium. Maybe that kid is hanging at home now, right?
Due to the severe choking, Lu Binglin still did not smoke the last half of the cigarette. This time the cough is getting worse and worse. Lu Binglin had a bad premonition in his heart.
"That's fine. You don't have to go on like this. It's been a tough day. Lu Binglin sighed.
The old farmer, who had just met the Zeng sisters at the intersection, was still walking in front of the two sisters, and when he entered Lu Binglin's field, he specially stopped and told Lu Binglin: "Binglin." You've got a guest at home. is Zonghua's classmate. Go back quickly. The two women didn't look like they were from the countryside. People come from afar. Your family needs a treat. ”
"Uncle Xing, aren't you joking? Zong Hua has been gone for a few years, but he hasn't seen anyone coming. Who still remembers? Lu Binglin was a little puzzled.
"Then I don't know. Anyway, the two women asked me just now. He also said that he was Zonghua's classmate, and he came to visit the two of you old people. When I'm old, will I still lie to you? The old farmer, who was called Uncle Lao Xing by Lu Binglin, smiled.
"Uncle Xing, I can say that you coax me, I'm just a little weird." Lu Binglin hurriedly explained.
"Alright, let's go home. Otherwise, when people come, your mother-in-law won't be able to greet you at home alone. If you don't have any food at home, come to my house and get it. There were also some dishes in the fridge. The old farmer said.
Lu Binglin put the hoe on the ground and knocked it clean, knocking the soil off the hoe. Then he picked up his hoe and walked briskly home. When I got to the yard, I saw my mother-in-law hurriedly greeting two women who were dressed very brightly.
As soon as she saw Lu Binglin go home, Zhang Xiulian seemed to see the backbone of the heart: "Binglin, these two women are Zonghua's classmates, and they came from Sanxiang Province to visit the two of us. You say how these two women are so polite. ”
"Did you boil the water? Boil more water and pour tea for the two children first. I'm going to catch a chicken. "Lu Binglin's family doesn't have any household appliances, and naturally there is no refrigerator. It's so late, and there's nowhere to get food. The family is fed chickens and ducks, which is a dish that can be cashed in at any time.
"Uncle, aunt, don't be busy. We ate in town when we came. I'm not hungry yet. Originally, I always wanted to come and visit you two old people. It's all the time, it's always ......" Zeng Yifang couldn't help crying.
"Why are you still crying, you child? Zonghua's life is not good. Went a little too early. Being able to have you still remember him can be regarded as the yin virtue he cultivated in his previous life. Zhang Xiulian was also infected by Zeng Yifang, and kept wiping her tears with her hands.
When Zhang Xiulian said this, Zeng Yifang cried even more: "It's all my fault!" That damn man is me! If Zong Hua hadn't been trying to save me, that kind of thing wouldn't have happened. I've always wanted to come and see you two elders. But I didn't have the face to come. It was I who hurt Zonghua. ”
Hearing Zeng Yifang say this, Zhang Xiulian naturally understood who this girl was. There was also a clang in the kitchen, and after the iron basin hit the ground, it kept turning, constantly hitting the ground, making a rapid and continuous crashing sound.
"You're that girl?" Zhang Xiulian also stopped crying and looked at Zeng Yifang.
Zeng Yifang nodded: "I came here this time to say sorry to the second elder." ”
Zeng Yixin was careful to be on guard, for fear that Zheng Xiulian and her family would have some radical behavior.
Zheng Xiulian looked at Zeng Yifang in a daze, and there was no excesses, and sighed: "It's all because Zong Hua's life is thin." Such a nice girl. Don't be sad, child, it's all fate. I know everything to your uncle. It was the truck driver who drank. Zong Hua desperately saved you, which shows how important you are in Zong Hua's heart. You must not have any mental baggage. ”
"Auntie." Zeng Yifang hugged Zhang Xiulian tightly.
"Child, I was crying. Over the years, you have also suffered. Zhang Xiulian in turn persuaded Zeng Yifang.
Zeng Yixin looked at the scene in front of her in surprise, she never expected such a result. With such a good family, it's no wonder that my sister fell in love with Lu Zonghua at the beginning. It's a pity that there is no way to undo the past. (To be continued......)
