The army is gone, and Peach Blossom's heart is cold. On the day of the burial of the army, she returned home disheartened, looking at the empty kang in her house, and a bleak and palpitating feeling suddenly rose.

The army's clothes have all been moved out, even the sheets he had laid and covered before his death and the previous kang sheets have all been ripped out, and the only thing left in the house is his photo, I don't know if it's Lijuan or my mother-in-law, in short, I don't know who has hung the photo on the wall. She raised her head with both hands, stared at the image of the army with a slight smile, a sadness welled up in her eyes, and she covered her face with both hands and sobbed gently.

She did not dare to cry out loud, for fear of alarming the old people again, lest they worry or grieve with her. My parents and in-laws were discussing the future in the opposite room, and I didn't know what they were talking about.

She was grateful to Sun Lijuan in her heart, and when she was in the most difficult time, she rushed back and always stayed by her side, never leaving half a step. Now, it seems that the hearts of these two women are connected, and they can understand each other's moods or situations. Dajun went to another world, and apart from the pictures hanging on the walls, he left behind little to commemorate or remember, including the child in his womb.

Since she knew that Liu Haitao was engaged, she and he had been awkward, she never looked at him squarely, and Liu Haitao didn't dare to say a word to her. Since the accident of the army, he has been busy day and night, otherwise he will wait silently on the sidelines.

Just now, Liu Haitao and a few young people in the village cleaned the inside and outside of the house and the yard, and then they left quietly.

Of course, she also knows the truth of the saying that people cannot be resurrected after death. In order not to immerse her in the painful space, Sun Lijuan proposed to her: "Peach Blossom, let's move to my house to sleep today, sleep with your godson, or be a companion with me, okay?" ”

She knew that Lijuan was in a good mood, she said: "No need Sister Lijuan, the army has just left, my father-in-law and mother-in-law must be very sad, now there are only three of us left in the family, if I move out to sleep again, the two old people will feel that the house is empty, I have to accompany them." ”

Sun Lijuan listened to Peach Blossom's words, and suddenly felt a warm current surging all over her body, and she said to Peach Blossom: "Okay, I'll take Xiaobao to be your companion." Let's go and see the old people, I have something to say to my aunt. ”

Peach Blossom didn't know what medicine was sold in Lijuan's gourd, and she happened to have something to say to the old people, so Peach Blossom and Lijuan came to their parents and in-laws together, and they saw Aunt Liu's silver and white hair fluffy and scattered, and her eyes were still full of tears, but they found that she was suddenly much older, and the deep wrinkles crisscrossing her face highlighted her hard work day and night and her heart was extremely sad.

As soon as Peach Blossom saw her mother-in-law's haggard appearance, she felt that her mother-in-law was very pitiful, yes, a mother lost her son, no less painful and sad than a woman who lost her husband, think about how much pain and pressure her mother-in-law has endured in the past two days!

Peach Blossom didn't think much about it, she walked up to her mother-in-law and said distressedly: "Mother, you and your father don't have to worry. Today, in front of my father and my mother, and Sister Lijuan, I make a statement to you and my father, the army is gone, but I am still your daughter-in-law, and the child in my belly will be kept, and in the future, whether the child is male or female, it will be the root of the Liu family. ”

"Peach Blossom, you are really a good boy of your mother, it's hard for you, woo woo woo ......" Liu Qiaoxian was a little excited.

Peach Blossom's mother, Qin, was busy and persuaded: "Mother-in-law, don't be like this, the daughter I feed knows that she has this kindness and filial piety, and my father and I will never stop her, she can do this, and we are also happy, and it is not in vain for her and the army to be a husband and wife." ”

There is a mother, there is a daughter! Although Peach Blossom has been hurt and wronged a lot, she still has a good mind, our Chinese women are so kind-hearted!

Sun Lijuan also said: "Yes, auntie, the army is gone, isn't there still us, me and Peach Blossom are your daughters, didn't our Xiaobao change his name to Liu Lidong?" Liu Yundong is your grandson and your uncle's own grandson. We'll come to see you often. ”

The two girls unanimously expressed their attitude, and the heartwarming words they said immediately moved Liu Qiaoxian to cry bitterly and burst into tears.

Sun Lijuan said more than just some comforting words, in the days to come, she really did it, every holiday or New Year's holiday, she took Liu Lidong back to visit these two lonely old people, and lived with her son with the old people for a few nights, often bringing them great happiness and laughter. Even though she later remarried, she still came back with her husband and son to visit the old man often, and never forgot to burn some paper money on the grave of the army as a way to express her grief.

She said to her son in front of the grave of the army: "Son, even if your mother is old and will not be able to walk in the future, no matter what you do in the future, no matter where you are, you must not forget to come back and burn paper on your godfather's grave." ”

Compared with Sun Lijuan, Peach Blossom has not been able to fulfill her promise well, since the death of the army, she has returned to her parents' home, although she has come back to visit the old people several times, and also burned paper several times in front of the army's grave, but since then, she has married Zheng Chujiang, the second king of the village, under the persuasion and compulsion of her uncle Qin Dachuan.

When she talked to Zheng Chujiang, the child in her belly was already a few months old, although she had a big belly, Zheng Chujiang still didn't let her go, he just couldn't get used to her shyness, he hated the child in her belly, always looking for an opportunity to get rid of the child, several times he raped her, and the child was finally removed, for this reason, she cried and scolded Zheng Chujiang for several days, and in the end it was his uncle Qin Dachuan who came forward to make peace, he ignored his own opposition, and didn't care how painful his niece was, I just forced this matter privately. Dad can't afford to mess with his uncle, so my mother listens to her brother, I can't help it, I can't do it every day, I don't want to call the earth, who calls herself a woman who has a dead husband? Your arms can't twist your thighs!

She couldn't keep the child, she felt really sorry for the parents of the army, she couldn't explain to them, and she didn't have the face to see them again. During the Chinese New Year and the beginning of spring, her mother-in-law came to see her a few times, and at the same time wanted to ask her to go back to live for a few days, Liu Haitao also came to call her a few times, but at that time the child was already pregnant, and she was unwilling to go back to that sad place. Besides, she heard that Liu Haitao was about to marry Cuihua, but she was pregnant with his seed, which green onion was dangling there?

But now that the child is gone, thinking that she has nothing left, she hates this second Hades, but she can't change all this. She regretted not going back with her mother-in-law, regretting not going back with Liu Haitao, if that was the case, maybe this child would be born safely, although this child was Liu Haitao's, not her husband Liu Dajun's, but after all, it was their Liu family's species, and it was the only glimmer of hope for her father-in-law and mother-in-law, no matter what, this child was her own flesh and blood!

Such evil consequences can only be tasted by themselves, who calls themselves to be angry and willful. That day, her mother-in-law Liu Qiaoxian pinched her fingers and counted, and said to her wife: "Peach Blossom will not come back for more than 20 days, is it not comfortable?" Why don't I go see her? ”

At this time, it is already the season of Jiujiu, and it is a good weather with bright spring and refreshing wind. Liu Laocun raised his eyes and looked at the sky and said, "Go ahead, the weather is good today." Why don't you ask a naughty kid to ride you there? ”

Liu Qiaoxian said: "No, Peach Blossom is not happy about the naughty child's engagement, so let's go by myself." ”

In this way, Liu Qiaoxian bought some things and went to Peach Blossom's mother's house alone, as soon as she entered the door, only Peach Blossom's mother was at home alone, and as soon as Qin Guizhi saw that her mother had arrived, she politely let Liu Qiaoxian into the house. Although the son-in-law is dead, the daughter has not remarried, and Peach Blossom still has the flesh and blood of her Liu family in her belly, after all, is it a relative.

When the in-laws met and exchanged a few words, Liu Qiaoxian chatted with Qin Guizhi while drinking hot tea, she looked into the house and asked, "Mother-in-law, why don't you see peach blossoms?" What did she do? ”

"Hey, look at my brain, patronizing the two of us nagging, almost forgetting the business." Qin Guizhi smiled apologetically, waved his hand and said, "What can she do?" Looking at her way, she can't do anything. ”

Liu Qiaoxian asked with concern: "Are the peach blossoms okay these days?" She often lives in her mother's house, and she is honest enough to trouble you. ”

"Look at what you said, what's not troublesome, who called me her mother." Qin Guizhi put away her smile and sighed: "Alas, she left such a widow, it's really not easy to say. Mother-in-law, there is a sentence that has been holding back my heart is really uncomfortable, now that you are here, I just want to talk to you. ”

"What's polite with me? If you have something to say, just say it. ”

"Alas, I'll be honest with you today, we're all here people, I hope you understand. Peach Blossom, this girl is still young, and she is only twenty-two years old this year, and she will die at the age of twenty-two, and she will not be able to stand it if she puts it on anyone's head. Originally, relatives and neighbors came to persuade her to take another step forward, to be honest, but she just didn't want to, in fact, she had a little bit of thought, can I not know that I am a mother? She just wants to leave this child for you, woo woo woo ......" Qin Guizhi couldn't help but feel sour in her heart when she said this, and she actually cried.

Liu Qiaoxian hurriedly got up and persuaded: "Mother-in-law, of course I can understand what you said, which of us mothers doesn't want our children to live well?" I'm not an old fool, an old feudal, I've been prepared in my heart, Peach Blossom is still young, and sooner or later she will remarry, and I also hope that she can marry a good family in the future. ”

Liu Qiaoxian's eyes also flashed with tears. Qin Guizhi then said: "Who said no, but this child is stubborn, who can persuade her?" Alas. ”

Liu Qiaoxian almost understood, she said: "It's okay, I can figure it out, why don't I try to persuade her?" ”

"Then dare to be kind, you can rest for a while, and I'll go find her." Qin Guizhi was waiting for this sentence, and her face immediately turned cloudy, so she raised her legs and walked out, and said to herself, "Where is this child?" I must have gone to Fu Lanhua's house again, I'll call her, mother-in-law, wait a minute. ”
