Parsley was groggy and sleepy, unable to open her eyes, and unable to retrieve her distant consciousness.

The bed was deserted, and after probably a night, the honeycomb coal in the stove burned through again.

"What time is it?" Parsley's voice was hoarse and harsh, and her body still had the pain and joy of last night.

No one responded.

Parsley rolled over, not feeling Hong Cheng's breath, so she lifted her eyelids with difficulty and closed them again.

It was cold in the quilt next to him, and Hong Cheng had probably been up for a while.

When he woke up early in the morning to go to the toilet, Hong Cheng found that the yard was covered with snow, and he stepped back into the house in the snow, feeling that it was almost freezing in the house and outside.

He checked the stove, and there was no spark in it, so he put on his clothes and went to the wall of the alley with tongs to pick up a piece of honeycomb coal, and went to his neighbor Hong Dagen's house to change coal, which was the one where Xiangqin went yesterday.

The one who changed the coal for Hong Cheng was still Dagen's daughter-in-law.

After the big daughter-in-law exchanged coal with Xiangqin yesterday, she kept watching Xiangqin enter the door of Hong Cheng's house, and she couldn't help but know Xiangqin's identity, and she was embarrassed to knock directly at the door of someone's house.

Seeing Hong Cheng, Dagen's daughter-in-law seized the opportunity to stand in the snow and interrogate Hong Cheng, "Yesterday, a girl came to our house to exchange coal, I watched her enter the door of your house, she is a relative of your family?" ”

According to Dagen's daughter-in-law, the relatives of the Hong Cheng family are the Guo family, who has been staying in Hongjia Village some time ago and refuses to leave, and has never heard of anything else.

Hong Cheng smiled shyly at her, but his face was filled with a happy light that could not be concealed, "That's my daughter-in-law." ”

Dagen's daughter-in-law couldn't help but widen her eyes, she thought she was sharp-eyed. Thinking that Parsley was still young and immature, I didn't think she would be more than twenty years old.

"You're married to her!" The big root daughter-in-law made a fuss.

Hong Cheng didn't care, and always kept an amiable smile at her, and he used fire tongs to carry the burned red honeycomb coal, and said a word. "Auntie, I'll go back first, it's very cold when the stove doesn't burn at home."

Dagen's daughter-in-law still wanted to ask him more about something, but she was embarrassed to catch Hong Cheng and not let him go, so she could only let her go.

Hong Cheng carried the coal back and burned the stove. At this time, he was hungry and gurgling, and he didn't find food from home, so he called the hotel and asked Hongfu to send some food.

If Hong Cheng is still a little hairy child, Hong Fu will serve him to reach out for food and open his mouth. is already a young man, why can't he let the elders serve him anymore.

After living for so many years, Hong Fu felt that he might not be able to count on Hong Cheng to honor her in this life, and he felt cold when he thought about it.

"You can't make it yourself, you and Parsley are sitting at home......"

Hong Cheng smiled sullenly and glanced at the inner room, his eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness, "Didn't you say that let's work hard to give you a big fat grandson." I lived up to my promise, and after all night of hard work, Parsley couldn't get up now. You know my craft......"

Hongfu thief, who was originally angry, laughed, and when he heard his laughter, he knew that he was particularly inadequate.

"Okay, okay, you just leave home and wait!"

After hanging up the phone, Hong Cheng felt into the house and carefully got into the bed.

When he saw that Parsley was awake, he naturally had to linger with her again.

The two were exhausted. Hong Fu, who came back, sat down the food and brought it to the door.

Hong Cheng is young and vigorous. It seems that there is endless energy, and I sing with parsley day and night. This made the originally scheduled two-day holiday a distant time.

New Year's Day has passed, will the New Year be far away?

But the beginning of the '90s pales in comparison to some.

Li Laosan came out of the detention center, and a few days after he arrived home, his father Li Chun died.

While taking care of Li Chun's funeral, Li Laosan was busy with a lot of things, and he wanted to inform his second brother Li Laoer's family, who were doing business in other places, and sent news to Parsley, and even rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the big jar of silver dollars that Li Chun had hidden before his death.

The jar of silver dollars, Li Laosan saw it when he was young, because Li Chun had always deceived him before his death, so he showed it to him once.

When Xiangqin received the news, she was quite hesitant whether she would go or not.

To go or not to go, it seems inappropriate.

Hong Fu said to her earnestly: "No matter what the people of the Li family did to you before, it was also a matter of the past, and now it is now." Anyway, you also go out, you are a member of our Hong family, if they let you go back again, don't say that you are unwilling, and Hong Cheng and I are not willing. What kind of people they are, we can only say that we can't care, but can we become like them? Let's just do what we think is right, Parsley, and I'll ask you, do you think it's right or wrong that you don't go to your grandfather's funeral? ”

Xiangqin was moved, her face was embarrassed, her mood was complicated and contradictory, but she didn't feel sad or sad about Li Chun's death at all. To completely ignore the Li family, in fact, if you think about it carefully, Parsley has done something bad and gradually lowered her head.

Although she has no affection for the Li family, the Li family is her root, and Xiangqin can't ignore this.

Hong Cheng went to have a different opinion from Hong Fu, he didn't want Xiangqin to return to the sad place of the Li family, thinking about the group of people in the Li family, no one wanted to be relatives with them, as long as they went back, it would definitely be a problem.

"Don't go back, as far as the people of the Li family I have come into contact with, none of them are good. Li Laosan and Li Rong don't talk about it, how scary Tian Jingjing's little girl is, Dad, then you don't know! ”

Hong Cheng said it very strictly, which aroused Hong Fu's desire to pursue it, and he asked as if he was thirsty for knowledge: "What's wrong with her?" ”

In Hong Fu's impression, Tian Jingjing is as beautiful as a flower, which is different from her sallow mother.

Hong Cheng glanced at Xiangqin with pity in his eyes, there were some things that only he and Xiangqin knew. It's like parsley was pushed down the Red River by Tian Jingjing and drowned before she was reborn.

Of course, in a way, he is still grateful to the ruthless Tian Jingjing.

However, Hong Cheng said something else. Tian Jingjing has a little brother, it is her own brother, because her brother inadvertently found out that she was doing bad things with men, Tian Jingjing left her brother on the edge of the Honghe River and left her to fend for herself. In the end, her brother drowned in the river. ”

Hong Fu's eyes widened, looking incredulous, he was eager to hold his grandson, and naturally he had an inexplicable sense of closeness to the little boy from another family.

"Impossible, right?"

Hong Chengxin swore honestly, "That's not what happened." I didn't believe what Xiangqin said before, and finally I specially asked someone to go to Lijia Village to inquire. ”

Regardless of whether such a thing really happened or not, Hong Fu understood what Hong Cheng wanted to express, Hong Cheng was just worried that Xiangqin would be bullied after returning to Lijia Village.

Hong Fu patted his thigh and thought about it. After a while, he said: "Otherwise, Hong Cheng, you can go to Lijia Village with Xiangqin." ”

Hong Cheng's face turned green in an instant, he didn't have time to escape from those people in the Li family, let him take the initiative to get into someone's nest, what did his dear father think?

Xiangqin knew that Hong Cheng felt the same as her, and she didn't want to face those people in the Li family, so she said thoughtfully: "It's better for me to go alone!" ”

Hong Cheng immediately objected, "That's not good!" ”

How could he possibly leave Parsley alone to face it?

Hong Cheng held the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, and said as if he were dead: "I'll go with you!" ”

Don't say that they are stingy. They just didn't want to do what the Li family wanted, Hong Cheng and Xiangqin set off from their homes to Lijia Village on the same day with sincere condolences and condolences.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a river in between. Hongjia Village and Lijia Village are not far away.

Take a boat to cross the river, walk east along the embankment for a few minutes, go down from the man-made small dirt slope, and then pass through vegetable and peanut fields to Lijia Village.

The two of them carried their things and went straight to Li Laosan's house.

Whenever it's time to do white things. There are two kinds of people in the village, one who is really sad because of the loss of a loved one. One kind of person with a smile on his face, blocked the door of the first kind of person to watch the excitement.

I really answered that sentence. "Those who watch the excitement are not afraid of big things".

It is the custom here to hold banquets for red and white ceremonies.

In a certain way, white things are more lively than red things.

beat the gong and drum to drive the car to welcome the daughter-in-law into the door, the banquet was over, and the good thing was over.

But once the white thing is done, it will last for many days.

The door of Li's house is particularly lively, and there is a team blowing air nearby, blowing earth-shattering mourning music. Along the alley is a spiritual shed, from the funeral shed to walk back and forth, you can see all kinds of spiritual paintings, like a painting exhibition.

There were many people around the door of the Li family, and when Xiangqin and Hong Cheng arrived at the place, they couldn't get in.

Someone recognized Parsley, it was Li Mengmeng, who lived opposite the door of Li Laosan's house.

Li Mengmeng is the same age as Parsley, and she squatted at home after graduating from junior high school.

Seeing Parsley, Li Mengmeng's face was full of joy, "Parsley is back!" ”

She didn't forget to look at Hong Cheng, and when she saw Hong Cheng and Parsley holding hands, her face immediately showed the shame of a little woman.

Li Mengmeng's mother Jiang Yun was particularly enthusiastic, "Xiangqin is finally back, everyone in your family can miss you, your grandmother sits at the door every day and lies to us, saying how promising you are now-"

Speaking of this, Jiang Yun glanced at Li Mengmeng dissatisfied, as if her daughter would embarrass her if she didn't do anything.

"It's your man!" Jiang Yun was curious about Hong Cheng's identity.

Carsley just smiled at her and didn't explain that much.

She is a popular figure in Lijia Village, even the three-year-old child knows that after she left the Li family, she was good outside, and Li Laosan thought of it several times, but he was disappointed.

When the people of Lijia Village were making way for Xiangqin and Hong Cheng, they bumped into a wreath erected on the wall in front of Li Laosan's house.

Before entering, Parsley held up the wreath.

The hall of Li Laosan's family was turned into a mourning hall, and a pair of red coffins lay in the center of the mourning hall, and directly above the coffin was a black and white posthumous photo of Li Chun's solemn sù Mu.

Li Chun's immediate family members were all dressed in linen and filial piety, kneeling around the coffin, and let out a mournful cry, perhaps numb from crying, and there was no trace of wetness in their eyes.

The so-called thunder is loud and rain is small, and that's it.

But there is one person who is different, he knelt next to Boss Li, cried and kowtowed, and wailed to the sky and the earth, "My dear father, you left early." Leave us children, you are so cruel......"

His emotions were particularly excited, with a handful of snot and tears, which was in stark contrast to those who were numb.

His performance overshadowed everyone, so much so that many people were stunned to watch him perform alone.

Everyone in the Li family is here. Li Laoda's family, Li Laosan's family, Li Ying's family, as well as Li Rong and her daughter Tian Jingjing.

Li Chun and the old lady of the Li family have a total of five children under their knees, and now that all four of them are here, there is a lack of Li Lao.

Kneeling in front of Li Chunde's coffin and crying is a wonderful man. One bite of a kiss daddy, which makes Parsley feel strange.

Although when she was very young, Li Lao Er went out to break in, she still vaguely remembered Li Lao Er's appearance, but this man was much younger.

She recalled. When Li Chun died before being reborn, Li Lao Er did not come back......

Parsley gradually showed a sudden expression, and she finally remembered what was going on.

Hong Cheng was confused, he looked around at the man's face, and felt that the other party was quite young, and he had never heard Xiangqin mention this person, so he became curious.

This man's exaggerated crying spirit is really hard not to notice him.

Hong Cheng asked Parsley. "Who is this man?"

After experiencing it once, Parsley doesn't think it's unusual, but no matter how many times you have experienced such a thing. It can make people feel mixed feelings.

"It's the person my second uncle paid to find to help him cry."

Hong Cheng was stunned, and he was disillusioned with the little good expectations he had for Li Laoer, who had never met.

He sighed in his heart, what kind of people are living in the Li family, it makes people feel very ridiculous.

Li Ying was probably carried away by sadness, and as soon as she saw parsley, she became hysterical.

She was originally on her knees. He stood up and rushed out of the mourning hall. Pointing at Parsley's nose, he jumped like thunder. "What are you going to do when you come back! What are you going to do when you come back? Ungrateful little turtle grandson, raise you so big, you don't miss home at all, you still have the face to come back! ”

The eldest daughter of the Li family who went out, what qualifications does she have to blame Parsley here?

Hong Cheng's face changed instantly, he protected the parsley, and glared at Li Ying, "You give me another one!" ”

Li Ying was wild in the Li family, and Li Rong couldn't stand it, "Eldest sister, you are a person who has gone out of the house, can you still take care of the affairs here?" ”

She also meant to please Parsley.

Li Ying was not convinced, crossed her waist, turned around and shouted at Li Rong, "I'm her aunt, so I can't say a word about her!" ”

"Who are you aunt, don't say how close we seem to be." In front of so many people, Hong Cheng didn't save any face for Li Ying, "If you hadn't stayed here in Parsley, do you think we would come over?" ”

Boss Li squeezed Li Ying aside, thinking that Xiangqin would definitely not be able to stay here, so he said, "Xiangqin, you guys go to my side." ”

As soon as Boss Li spoke, Li Laosan and Li Rong immediately took action.

The family suddenly stared at each other, and there was still a little sad atmosphere.

Even the crying spirit man who Li Lao Er paid for money, as soon as he noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, he stopped crying, and sat in front of the coffin to watch the good show being staged in the courtyard.

"Big brother, what do you mean, your own daughter can't keep it, so you come to rob my daughter, right?" Li Laosan is eyeing Li Laosan.

Boss Li was stunned, he was kind-hearted, why did he hear Li Laosan say this, as if he was so evil in his heart.

Since Li Laosan didn't give him face as a big brother, why did Boss Li have to be kind to him, "You ask Xiangqin yourself to see if she is willing to leave your house behind." You and Dani drove them away from home, and you still expect the girl to remember your kindness! ”

Hu Dani stood next to Li Laosan, and it was obvious that these two people were breathing out of one nostril. She has always looked at Boss Li unpleasantly, but as the eldest son of the Li family, she left her father and mother to take care of her younger brother, is it the reason that there are many children in their family?

"Big brother, I didn't say it, although Parsley didn't slip out of my belly, I also count him as half a mother. I just can't say it's wrong, and it's not your turn to say it! Hu Dani's mouth is strong and her temper is also big, "The third child divorced Xiangqin and her mother, so you can't still leave them at home!" ”

Boss Li pointed at Hu Dani's nose, "If it weren't for you, the third child and Qiu Ping wouldn't be divorced, and Xiangqin wouldn't disown her as a father!" ”

As soon as she said it, she put all the mistakes on her head, Hu Dani was definitely unwilling, if you want to say who is really wrong, all the mistakes are Li Laosan's fault.

If he had treated his daughter well, he wouldn't have had such a tense relationship with Parsley.

These words. Hu Dani naturally didn't dare to say it to Li Laosan.

Xiangqin can make money now, and she has promised herself a good family, and of course these people are eager to pull her to her and treat her like a daughter.

But Li Laosan looked away, but he didn't expect parsley to have such a bright day.

Li Rong seemed impatient. "Your grandfather is also dead, his bed is vacant, and Xiangqin will sleep with Hong Cheng on your grandfather's bed tonight."

Tian Jingjing hurriedly smiled and agreed, "If you taboo that it is a bed where a dead man has been lying, I can change it with you." ”

Hong Cheng stood up, "You don't have to argue. Look at you, Parsley and I are in bad luck. ”

"Wait until your grandfather's first seven days are over." Li Laosan persuaded with red eyes, of course he didn't beg Parsley to stay, it was Li Chun's death that really made him sad.

"No, these days. I can come every day. "Parsley has no plans to stay at the Li family." I'm going to help. ”

The kitchen was steaming hot, and as soon as Parsley walked to the kitchen door, she felt a wave of heat rushing over her face.

At this time, Boss Li's daughter-in-law, Liu Di, was busy in the kitchen, preparing plates of dishes to be served on the table of the banquet.

Xiangqin's impression of her aunt is still very good, although Liu Di's heart is small, she is very capable, and she will always see her busy when others are lazy.

"Parsley is back." Liu Di was completely stating the facts, and it seemed that the arrival of Parsley did not bring her much joy.

"Auntie, I'll show you the fire." Parsley sat down in front of the hand-pulled hair dryer. Cut off the dry grain stalks and fill them in the holes.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Di sighed with emotion, "I see that the New Year is coming soon." This happened to your grandfather......"

This half-cut sentence ended with a sigh from her.

After a while, the kitchen was more lively than the mourning hall, and Li Rong and Tian Jingjing both ran over to help.

Liu Di stretched her face, obviously hiding complaints in her heart.

Originally, Li Rong didn't say it. If Tian Jingjing's daughter has no one to work on her, when will she take the initiative to work?

Aren't they all here to be close to parsley!

Especially Tian Jingjing. Her behavior has reached the point where she is outrageous, and she seems to be afraid that Xiangqin will fly away. Even going to the toilet has to follow.

In the evening, Parsley and Hong Cheng went back.

If they were late, the ferry on the other side of the Honghe would not leave, and they would have to make a big detour if they wanted to go back.

Li Rong, Tian Jingjing, and Li Baoyu sent them all the way to the place where the ferry was opened, and saw them go up to the opposite embankment, so they reluctantly turned around and went back to Lijia Village one by one.

If you want to talk about Hong Cheng's feelings about staying in the Li family for this day, that is-

In one word, tired!

Two people, tiring!

Three words, tired people!

Except for Li Ying, the rest of the Li family is good to Parsley, no matter how many people are hypocritical to her, but the protagonist of this day is not the dead Li Chun, it seems to be Parsley.

Hong Cheng went back and told Hong Fu about Li Lao Er's purchase of people crying spirits, Hong Fu was not very happy, but felt cold.

If the same thing happened to him, he could jump out of the coffin and strangle him by the neck of Hong Cheng!

Hong Fu listened to it until Hong Cheng said that the people of the Li family did not force them to wear linen and filial piety, and he changed his opinion of those people a little, "So the people of the Li family are not bad to you." ”

Hong Chengshen disagreed, "If we are all poor eggs, they probably won't even let us enter their door, so it's better for us to be a dog!" ”

Xiangqin felt that the attitude of the Li family towards her was very strange today, and if she thought about it with confidence, she would be a little eyebrows.

"They're good to me, it's all fake. Eighty percent of them still want to ask me about the silver dollar. ”

Li Chun hid a jar of silver dollars, and his children were worried about this property, but no one knew where Li Chun hid the silver dollars before his death.

Hong Fu sighed, it is really a place with many people, and there are many things.

Now he is glad that he is alone, his father and mother gave birth to him and Hong Ling, brother and sister, but unfortunately, their old Hong family has been passed down from Hong Cheng's generation to Hong Cheng's generation, and there is a male doll in each generation. Seeing that Hong Cheng and Xiangqin loved each other, which was in time for family planning, he was anxious to hold his grandson, and he also hoped to hold a great-grandson in his lifetime.

He didn't want to worry about his great-grandson.

Don't think about the Li family, Hong Fu commanded Hong Cheng and Xiangqin, "The winter solstice has been almost two months, and when the New Year comes, Liu Shuo will come back and let him show Xiangqin." ”

Parsley blushed, lowered her head to look at her flat lower abdomen, there was a child soon, it couldn't happen. (To be continued) R466
