The mother and son cried at each other, causing Wang Ermao and others to rub their eyes. After being excited for a while, Cheng Zhu finally contained his sadness, gave Cheng Mingzhen a few slaps, and asked in a low voice, "Where are you hiding?" Why don't you send a letter back! Others said you were dead, but Ermao swore to me that you were still alive. If I knew that you were so worried, it would have been better if I hadn't given birth to you in the first place! ”

"Mother, mother, aren't I coming back?" Cheng Mingzhen hurriedly begged for mercy, salivated, and stepped forward to hold his mother's arm. The two little girls had already heard of the heroic deeds of the head of the family, and they had been beating the small drum in their hearts. Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen was not as fierce as the legend, and he didn't have any arrogance, he hurriedly smiled and helped to say soft words in front of the old lady.

Cheng Zhu didn't blame his son, but he was filled with joy and sorrow in his heart, and he just vented casually. Listening to the little girl's help and pleading, she also went downhill, ordered someone to push open the courtyard door, and invited her son and her son's friends to drink tea.

Although Wang Ermao and the others had something to say to Cheng Mingzhen, they also knew that they should not be disturbed at this moment. He arched his hand with a smile and said together: "Cheng Jiaotou has just come back, you must have a lot to ask." We won't bother, we will hand in our errands tomorrow afternoon, and then we will pull Cheng Jiaotou to drink together! ”

"Then don't drink too much, don't hurt your body!" Cheng Zhu smiled and nodded, his face full of love.

The guests waved goodbye, and the hosts helped each other home. Admitted to the hospital, Cheng Mingzhen was another wolf. The huge courtyard has been cleaned to the dust, the green brick paved corridor, and the white-powdered wall, how clean and clean it is. It's just that compared to the broken grass huts in Donkey Hutong, this yard always seems to be lacking something, which makes people's hearts empty, and their eyes can't help but want to search around! ”。

Cheng Zhu knew his son best, rubbed his eyes, and distracted him with a smile: "It's Ermao who sends someone over every day to help clean up." In the past six months, it has been difficult for them. If it weren't for a few of them, my mother really didn't know how to live her life? ”

"Where's the apricot blossom? Hasn't she ever come to see her mother? Cheng Mingzhen was alert, turned his head and asked his mother.

He finally found out the reason for his discomfort. Since entering Chengxian Street, I have never seen the shadow of Xiao Xinghua, nor have I seen my uncle's family! With the usual character of a little girl, she will not be shy, and she will definitely be the first to rush to her and cry and make trouble.

"Go back to the house and say. In the winter, don't stand in the yard! The mother's eyes slowly dimmed, sighed, and responded in a low voice.

"What's wrong with Apricot Blossom? Mother, something happened to Xinghua! Cheng Mingzhen was in a hurry, pulling his mother's sleeve and shaking it gently. He didn't dare to rush too hard, but in his memory, the night when Xiao Xinghua was separated from him was also the most chaotic long night. If there are gangsters who take advantage of the opportunity...... He didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and all the things in front of him were the delicate appearance of his fiancée!

"Go back to the house! Tangerine, go and bolt the gate. Liu Ye'er, you go and make some tea, and prepare some snacks by the way! "After all, he used to be rich and noble, and although his heart was chaotic, Cheng Zhu arranged the chores at hand in an orderly manner.

Seeing that his mother was so insistent, Cheng Mingzhen had no choice but to obey. After following my mother, I walked into the main house, carefully helped my mother to sit down, and then sat opposite my mother, waiting for an answer.

For several months, he has been thinking about returning to Guantao to marry Xiao Xinghua. Although he didn't like the Yiren unforgettablely, the marriage that took a lot of effort to maintain made him cherish it immensely. If Xiao Xinghua is killed, no matter the ends of the world, Cheng Mingzhen swears that he will never let go of the murderer. It was his cousin, his wife, the goal he had been trying to maintain for most of the year. No one can hurt anyone, not even God!

"Alas! This book is reproduced to pick up the land κ literature network "The mother sighed softly, and Cheng Mingzhen's heart twitched when she heard it. But the next words made him feel as if he heard a thunderclap, "Xinghua is married!" Our mother is not blessed! Don't mess with her again, and don't blame your uncle! ”

"What!" Cheng Ming jumped up violently, and his eyes darkened for a while, "She's married?" Who did you marry? Why don't you wait for me to come back? Zhu Wanzhang, this thief, isn't this bullying our mother and son? I'm looking for him, I'm going to find him! ”

"Sit down for me!" Cheng Zhu's scolding came from mid-air, making the young man somewhat regain his senses. He didn't dare to disobey his mother's orders, but he couldn't extinguish the flame of anger in his eyes. Little Apricot Blossom will not betray herself! It must have been forced by Zhu Wanzhang! This guy who hates the poor and loves the rich, and has lost his conscience, will be struck by lightning sooner or later!

"Sit down! Who are you looking for? He's your uncle after all? What can you do with him? Kill him? Or beat him up? "My mother's words came one after another, and every sentence was like a hammer." As soon as you left, it was more than half a year, except for your mother, who still believed that you were alive? But my mother knows, how dare my mother tell others about your whereabouts? ”

"You know I'm alive? ...... just now" Holding back the pain in his chest, Cheng Mingzhen changed the topic. Xiao Xinghua got married, and she thought she was dead. But if she obviously gave her a covenant in this life, even if she dies, can't she wait longer, wait a few more days? Could it be that husband and wife are really birds of the same forest, and they have to fly separately when disaster comes?

Looking at his son's pale face, Cheng Zhu sighed softly. Her son is sad, isn't she herself pierced through her heart? Who might be to blame? Just life!

"If I don't hit you a few times, how can I help you cover up. Mother knows that you are alive, if you die, how can there be so many people in front of our house all day long? Your friend sells needlework in front of our house, and he is either short of this or missing that. People who do business must be more than baht, how can anyone be as ruthless as them? (Note 1)

"You know I'm not dead! If only you weren't scared! Cheng Mingzhen nodded lightly, and he didn't know if he heard his mother's words clearly, or if he was still thinking about something else.

"Every time they come to sell groceries, my mother wants to ask about you. But my mother didn't dare to ask, let alone guess! That Lin County Commander couldn't wait to announce that you were dead, and he also made a statue of you in the City God Temple, there must be a reason. So my mother can only be confused, and she can only be confused to watch the apricot blossom get married! ”

No wonder the neighbors of Chengxian Street looked at me that way. It turned out that they were going to see the excitement after I knew that Xiao Xinghua was married. It's not gratitude, it's not admiration for daring to take risks alone! Cheng Mingzhen's heart was painful and lost, as if someone had taken a piece of ice and pressed it on his chest.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and the two stopped talking alertly. The door was gently pushed open, and the little girl Liu Ye walked in with tea and snacks. Sensing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, she was so frightened that her hairs stood on end, and after tiptoeing away the plates and tea cups, she rubbed them against the wall.

The tea is very good, with a heavy aftertaste in the bitterness. The sweetness is also delicate, with a hint of almonds. This family has finally regained some vitality, compared to the life of donkey alley, which is like a world of heaven after eating the last meal and not having the next meal. Cheng Mingzhen didn't dare to ask God to take more care of himself, so he held back the pain in his heart and said in a low voice: "Xinghua, in fact, Xinghua is a very sensible woman!" ”

Knowing that his son was unwilling, Cheng Zhu couldn't help but shake his head gently. Women need to be accompanied, especially young and somewhat beautiful girls. The son has experienced a lot in the bandits' den, although he has matured a lot. But he is still ignorant about the affairs of men and women. Staying for life and never abandoning is a legend in folk songs. It's just that it's made up into a song to sing, because it's rare and rare, and it can't pick out a pair among tens of thousands of people.

But why did she bother to tell her son these words. My son has just had the beginning of his career, and his heart should be full of sunshine in order to make further progress. As for the past, when it was a dream good. No matter how good the scene is in the dream, after waking up, people still have to face reality.

"Mother, who did Xinghua marry? How are you doing? After eating a few more pieces of dim sum, Cheng Mingzhen was somewhat perked up. Shaking his head, he muttered.

"Don't you mess with her again? Otherwise, it's not good for her or for you! Cheng Zhu was very vigilant, noticed his son's mood change, and immediately reminded him.

She saw her son nodding slightly, his gaze cold and strong. His heart softened, and he continued: "She married the second son of the Zhou family, and she has a good life!" At least I won't have to worry about food and clothing in this life, and I can get along with my sister-in-law! (Note 2)

"The Zhou family?" Cheng Mingzhen's heart tightened again, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong. He was not doubting the authenticity of this marriage, but thought of another incident half a year ago. He remembered that Yang Xuangan transported a lot of grain to store in the Zhou family when he rebelled. In this way, the Zhou family and Yang Xuangan must be grasshoppers on a rope. Listening to the people of Juluze, Yang Xuangan was punished by the clan, so he was arrested completely. Why didn't the Zhou family move at all, as if it had nothing to do with Yang Xuangan.

'What if I report it?' A wicked thought spread in the young man's heart. The hatred of taking away his wife, how to be willing not to let the other party pay some price? But soon, he put the thought down again. That would implicate Xiao Xinghua and throw away her life. Xiao Xinghua is her cousin, as long as she is happy, she will be happy, isn't that the truth?

Thinking of this, he grabbed his heart and gulped it into his mouth. It's gone, it's all gone. You can eat snacks on your own, and you don't have to eat wild vegetables. After all, God is already not thin on himself, what is not satisfied with himself?

What's not to be satisfied with? The young man smiled and looked out the window. Outside, the sky was overcast, and a few snowflakes fell lightly in the wind, falling all over the ground.

Note 1: The local dialect is sloppy and heartless.

Note 2: Sister-in-law, husband's sister.
