Chapter 71: The so-called conjugal life
A few days later, Grandpa Chen was buried, came back from the cemetery, the family removed the white filial piety, tied a red rope on the arm, hung a red cloth at the door, this funeral was completed, and Grandpa Chen was buried in peace.
Chen's mother was also discharged from the hospital two days ago, after this incident, she was cold to her only son and decided to divorce Chen Guoliang, and because Chen Guoliang was guilty of bigamy, she filed for divorce with the court, and there was no need to ask Chen Guoliang's consent at all, and the court would directly judge the divorce.
There aren't so many twists and turns.
"Mom, after you divorced, do you still live in the same place?" Chen Xiangqin was a little uneasy, and when she left, her mother was left alone.
"I don't plan to live, I don't want to live that. Alas, when I think about it now, I don't know what kind of life I used to live, and I feel that for the sake of my children, I can endure everything, and I have to endure everything. Now, I suddenly figured out that when my children are older, whether they are good or bad, and how to live is their own business, I don't care. ”
Perhaps because she felt that she was finally relieved after leaving Chen Guoliang and others, Chen's mother smiled heartily, and when she talked about the future, her eyes were also full of lust and longing.
"I plan to rent a house next to your fourth aunt to live, she told me okay, said that the snack bar needs manpower, let me help her, my business, don't worry about it. Mom has your fourth aunt's family as a companion, and someone will take care of her when she is sick. ”
Chen Xiangqin also laughed, happy for her mother's new life, and reached out to put her arm around her mother's shoulder, "Mom, I will often write to you in the future, send things, and come back to see you during the New Year's holidays." ”
"It's so far, it takes two or three days to come back at a time, just come back for the New Year, don't toss around." Chen's mother patted her hand and instructed, "You are outside, have a good time with Xiao Yi, if there is something to discuss with the two of you, I think you have become too independent and capable in the past six months." Sometimes, this woman is too capable, and it is not bad for men to like, you have to remember one thing, a woman who can be coquettish is annoying. ”
“…… Mom, I remember! Chen Xiangqin responded with some amusement and helplessness.
"Hey! Don't take it personally. Chen's mother pointed to her head and whispered to her, "Don't be stupid, we don't have three years of filial piety now." Even if you are not in a hurry to have children, you still have to live as a couple with Xiaoyi, you know? ”
“…… Ahem, Mom, I know, why are you talking to me about this. Chen Xiangqin rolled her eyes at the sky, a little embarrassed.
"It's not that I see you getting along with Xiao Yi and think that you are a little too unfamiliar and polite, so I'm anxious for you!" Mother Chen lowered her voice even lower, "Then what, you have to let go a little, don't be restrained, cough cough...... Men love this anyway. If the life of this husband and wife is not harmonious, it will make men easy to have two hearts! ”
Chen Xiangqin, "......"
"Do you hear that?! Don't be old-fashioned, you have to let go, it's much better to envelop a man on this than to grab a man's stomach! Chen's mother said again.
Chen Xiangqin, "...... Well, Mom, I really know. You don't need to say more. ”
This conversation between mother and daughter, which should have been before the wedding night, but is now belated, about how to envelop a man, made Chen Xiangqin not a little shy, but just embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about that." Chen's mother also felt a little embarrassed, took out her pocket, took out a commemorative medal of a great man, and sighed guiltily,
"Xiangqin, this medallion was turned out by my mother when she was packing up her things yesterday. This chapter was pinned to your swaddling clothes in the first place. This should be left by your mom and dad. Mom, I'm sorry for you......"
Chen Xiangqin lowered her head and looked at this round, somewhat faded medallion of the great man, and her heart swelled with excitement, which was the only physical evidence connecting her and her biological parents.
But—
In the sixties, this kind of medal was worn by almost everyone, it was mass-produced, and it was not unique, and it was a little easier to find relatives according to this than to find a needle in a haystack.
"Thank you, Mom." Chen Xiangqin's hand took it with some trembling trembling, put it in the palm of his hand and squeezed it.
"Say thank you! Ben is Mom, I'm sorry for you! Let me tell you, this medal is good, maybe your family was also a soldier who participated in the revolution at that time, and you are going to the army, so you can inquire. ”
Chen Xiangqin was amused by her mother, "This Feng County is so far away from Beijing, where is it possible." ”
"In those days, you didn't understand, there was turmoil, people could run from south to north! You just have a thought, don't expect too much, but don't have no expectations. Chen's mother said.
Chen Xiangqin stopped smiling, looked at the commemorative medal in the palm of her hand, and nodded.
Regardless of whether you find it or not, when you think about your parents in the future, you can also look at something and think about it, which makes people feel much more at ease.

After Chen Xiangqin finished talking to her mother, she went back to the house to pack up the things that were placed at the fourth aunt's house, put them in a large woven bag, and prepared to go back to her mother-in-law's house.
"Packed up?" Zhang Chenyi walked into the house and said, "The fourth aunt left us for dinner, do you still eat?" ”
"If you don't eat it, my parents must have prepared a meal at home and are waiting for us." Chen Xiangqin shook her head and asked again, "Where did you go just an hour?" ”
"I went out to meet my classmates." Zhang Chenyi replied.
Chen Xiangqin glanced at his hand and found that there were some new bruises on it, presumably from a fight just now, or simply to beat someone.
However, he obviously didn't want to say it, and Chen Xiangqin pretended not to see it and didn't ask any more.
-
The fourth uncle drove the tractor again and sent the two to the entrance of the village.
"Hey, Chen Yi! It just so happens that there is a telegram from you, from the army! It's an urgent telegram, just delivered, and I'm about to send it to your house! ”
Before Chen Xiangqin and the two got home, Secretary Wang ran over from the other entrance, waving his hand and shouting.
"Thank you, Secretary Wang." Zhang Chenyi took it and thanked him.
"It's okay, let's go home. The telegram from the army must have asked you to go back, and it is estimated that you will be able to reunite with your family for the night. Secretary Wang patted him on the shoulder.
"You want to go back?" Chen Xiangqin waited for Secretary Wang to leave and asked.
"Hmm. You want me to come back quickly! Zhang Chenyi nodded and looked at her with some hesitation, "Do you go back with me, or stay a few more days?" ”
"It's a bit rushed, but there's nothing to clean up. I'll go with you. Chen Xiangqin said with a smile, "It's too grinding to do a train for two days and two nights by yourself." The two of us are together, and we have a companion. ”
Zhang Chenyi's eyes lit up and he nodded with a smile.
-
"Even though I saw the photos, when I came back and saw them, I still felt a little uncomfortable, and I felt that I had entered a stranger's house." Zhang Chenyi came to the door of the house, looked at the gate, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's back!" Mother Zhang heard the movement and came out to greet them with a smile, "Come into the house, it's cold outside!" When the rice is ready, it's hot in the pot, and I'm waiting for you! ”
Chen Xiangqin followed into the house, saw Xiaoru, saw that her eyes were red, she had obviously cried, and she looked angry and depressed, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?" Something went wrong? ”
“…… Sister-in-law, woo...... The clothes that the third aunt asked for were ruined, woo...... said that it would be given to the third aunt the day after tomorrow at the latest, there are fifty or sixty pieces, and people are in a hurry, they are all worn for wedding banquets and birthday banquets, and I can't catch up now! ”
