Chapter 040: The Past
Thinking of the old lady who died in the fire, Chang's voice choked.
"But you also know that the land is the life of our peasant family. For many years, everyone has been serving like a son, how can they sell. ”
"The old lady's decision aroused public outrage, although the Song family only had a big house with us at that time, and the third child had not yet married, it was not that there was a young daughter who was not married."
"There are enough people, and it is also very beneficial to make trouble, but at that time, the old lady was still at home, and she made sense of your father in a few words, not only to sell the land, but also to postpone the marriage of the two juniors, and wait until the exam is over."
The old lady thought at the time that if she could win, she would use the strength of the whole family to let Erlang continue the township test. If she can't win, she plans to postpone her studies for two years, and first solve the marriage of the two children in the family. ”
"It's a pity ......"
Chang shook his head, and it was difficult to hide his anger when he said this.
"Your sister-in-law is so inhuman, she actually has a secret marriage with that kid from the Huang family. She didn't dare to tell the old lady about this, she didn't agree with Erlang to take the exam if she wanted to die or live, and she was in a hurry to get married. We didn't know what was going on, and we didn't care about her. Now that I think about it, I also have an unshirkable responsibility for what happened back then. ”
"That day, I saw that she was making too much trouble in the room, and I felt that I was also dragging others down, so I entrusted Brother Tian to the old lady to take care of, and went back to my parents' house to see if I could find a way to raise some money to reduce the burden on the family, and handle Song Tao's marriage. He once thought that it would only take two hours to come and go, and the house would be on fire. ”
"I don't know what's going on, I saw that half of the yard was burning, and Brother Tian and the old lady were in the house, so I was so angry that I fainted all of a sudden."
Chang couldn't cry.
Ah Xiu hugged her arm: "Mother, forget it, don't say it." She really shouldn't have asked about such a sad past.
Chang shook her head, and the words were all spoken, she wanted to say it in one breath, after all, it was uncomfortable to hold it in her heart for so many years.
"Later, my daughter, who was pregnant for more than four months, was gone, and the old lady was burned to the point of not being human, but fortunately, Brother Tian was fine, but his face was ruined."
"At that time, I heard those people say that he crawled out of it crying on his own."
Chang wiped his tears: "It is said that if you don't die in a catastrophe, there will be a blessing in the future, no matter how those people outside dislike him, my son will definitely have a great creation." ”
Ah Xiu nodded in agreement, but what the hell was going on with the fire?
Chang Shi saw the little girl looking at him, and continued: "No one knows what the fire is about, but Song Tao has disappeared since then. There was no body of her in the fire, she should have run away. ”
"On the day of the accident, your father took someone to look at the ground outside, and the big house family was also outside, and your grandmother was at home, but she said that she was sleeping, and when she realized that something was wrong, the fire had spread."
What a ridiculous answer. I didn't mention the fire in advance, but Song Tao definitely walked away under her nose. ”
"When that kind of thing happened, the most painful thing was undoubtedly Erlang, when he still wanted to report to the official, but the old couple stopped him. Later, the Huang family came to the door to ask for someone, and Erlang and I learned that Song Tao was pregnant, and your grandmother and Dafang's family knew it, but they watched the play in the back and let her mess with the old lady. ”
"Because of this, Erlang didn't read the book anymore, and he blamed himself very much for the old lady's death, and swore to put down the book."
Speaking of this, Chang Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Therefore, people's hearts are black in the face of interests. When the family is separated, I don't want to care about those people, and I live my own life. ”
She touched the two little puppets on top of Ah Xiu's head.
"Treat you as your daughter-in-law, I've said everything in the past, don't let me down in the future."
Ah Xiu's face turned red.
"Mother, don't worry, I will serve you and Brother Tian well."
Chang nodded, and when she said these words, she felt much better.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to the hospital together, and before they entered the door, they heard Hong's scolding.
"These black-hearted people, one or two ran away without a figure, and they still expect the old lady to serve you......"
Seeing that the sky is almost dark, the cold pot is cold, and no one cares about the chickens and ducks at home.
Today, it was the turn of the public middle school to live in the big room, Chang Shi just didn't hear it, and went straight back to the room with Ah Xiu.
Hong Shi looked at it and scolded a few more troublemakers.
Now that she can be reckless in her mouth, Chang doesn't bother to pay attention to her.
At night, the father and son of the Song family in the field returned with several children from the private school.
Dinner went on in silence, a plate of two and a dough tortillas, and a plate of fried white porridge with a whirring sound.
Zhou is still angry, and he is not in the mood to cook and eat, how simple and how to come.
At the dinner table, the three boys could also feel that the atmosphere was wrong, but they all tacitly did not ask, as for whether they said it in private, only each room itself was clear.
Ah Xiu returned to the house after washing, and Song Tian was already waiting under the lamp.
The two chatted about the separation of the family in the afternoon, and Ah Xiu definitely didn't mention those ugly words, and as for the result, it is unknown now, after all, Old Man Song didn't speak.
Song Tian smiled faintly after hearing this, and comforted Ah Xiu: "Don't worry, this is done." Looking at it, tomorrow the uncle will go to town with the third uncle. ”
This man was full of faith.
Ah Xiu smiled and took out the ointment from the cabinet to help Song Tian wipe his face.
Whenever this happens, Song Tian closes his eyes and then lifts his little face up.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, he secretly looked in the mirror two days ago, as if the scar had flattened a little bit.
With such a long scar, how could she be in a short period of time.
Ah Xiu helped him wipe it carefully, remembering what Chang said during the day.
When the accident happened, Brother Tian was only more than a year old, how painful this injury was on his face!
He was able to escape death, and he didn't know how to do it, and how desperate he was at that time.
Thinking like this, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and a sour emotion spread in her chest.
Song Tian was secretly thinking in his heart that this ointment was still useful, but unexpectedly, a drop of water smashed on his face.
He opened his eyes instantly, and saw Ah Xiu turning around and wiping his eyes.
"What are you?"
Song Tian stretched out her hand and wiped the drops on her face, she wouldn't be crying!
Ah Xiu quickly turned back, saw him staring at him with a puzzled face, and said with a smile: "When I washed my face before, I accidentally got water in my eyes, and I am not comfortable until now." ”
After saying that, she took the sleeve of her shirt and rubbed it again.
"Does it matter?"
Song Tian stood up and pulled the little girl's hand to look into her eyes.
The red circles under his eyes, the moist eyes, look pitiful and cute.
"It's okay."
"By the way, Brother Tian, do you want to rest or read a book now."
Ah Xiu opened the cabinet and put the ointment in, taking advantage of this time she restrained her emotions, and it was nothing to turn around again.
Song Tian looked at her seriously, thought about it later, and went to bed.
If she reads, she will inevitably accompany herself, so let's rest early today.
Ah Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that he had pulled up the quilt and bent down to blow out the oil lamp.
Tonight, some people can't sleep and some people are happy.
The night was quiet, and Ah Xiu entered a dream again.
