The two of them drank tea and chatted with each other. My father didn't talk much, Hua Ergu said ten words, and my father replied two. However, Hua Ergu felt that although he didn't say much, every sentence he said was a true truth, which was ten million times better than those who were oily and smooth.

At that time, Huayang Guxing was basically still underground, and no one dared to blatantly set up a stall to buy things. Many people are basically gathered near the post and telecommunications office on Sunday morning, where there are sellers and buyers, chatting together, chatting speculation, sellers will introduce their goods, buyers have intentions, two people continue to chat, and finally reach an agreement to change to a hidden place to deliver and collect money.

This kind of trading method is very uncomfortable, but there is no way, it has lasted for several years, and after the environment is more relaxed, some people began to set up stalls near the old post and telecommunications office. My family was doing business at the post and telecommunications office at the time, and my grandfather and father would stay in the countryside and come to downtown Huayang on Saturday night or Sunday morning.

Hua Ergu met her father in this way, and her father didn't come to her often, and every time she came, there was basically something. Hua Ergu felt that my father liked to be nosy, some things obviously had nothing to do with him, and the person who had the accident was just a general friend with him, and my father also brought people to Hua Ergu's side and let Hua Ergu help solve it.

When Hua Ergu started, she felt incomprehensible and even a little annoying. Because of bringing someone over to break the matter, the victim may not be able to pay at the time, basically the father pays in advance, and afterwards, the father will not take the initiative to ask someone for the account. Some of these people may really not know the cause and effect, and some of them pretend not to know if they know, anyway, there are a lot of accounts. It can be said that in that year and a half, our family basically did not fall into the benefits, earned some money, and posted it all like this.

However, Hua Ergu sometimes ponders and thinks that her father is kind and reliable.

The two have known each other for a long time, and the second aunt of Hua is slowly tempted, and if her father doesn't come for a while, she will run to the post and telecommunications office. She doesn't necessarily have to talk to her father when she goes, sometimes she just hides nearby to see, and when she sees her father busy in the crowd, Hua Ergu is very happy, and she comes quietly and leaves quietly.

The conditions at the post and telecommunications bureau are not good, there are no restaurants nearby, and it is impossible for busy people to eat on time and on time. Father didn't shirk or thank, but when he was eating, he would look up and smile with Aunt Hua.

That smile, softly, faintly, can knock on the door of the second aunt's heart.

At that time, Aunt Hua felt that her father should also be interesting to her. It's just that people's thinking was relatively conservative at that time, and between men and women, there was a layer of window paper missing, but no one was embarrassed to pierce it first.

After a while, my father suddenly stopped coming to the post and telecommunications office. Sometimes Hua Ergu went to look for it, but she couldn't find it. She was lost, disappointed, and very uncomfortable, very worried, she felt that her father should not disappear all at once for no reason, she was very afraid that something would happen to her father.

However, when they came and went before, my father never said where my hometown was, and Aunt Hua inquired, but my father's mouth was strict, and the people at the post and telecommunications bureau didn't know where my father lived. In this way, the two people are completely separated.

Maybe more than two months later, one day, my father suddenly looked for Aunt Hua. Hua Ergu was very happy, but she refused to show her face, she was the kind of woman who was very stubborn and strong. Not only did she not show joy, but she kept a straight face and asked her father what was the matter with his coming here.

Father may not have expected that Aunt Hua would have such an attitude. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then took out a packet of candy and fruit wrapped in a red cloth. Hua Ergu was stunned when she saw it, the local custom of Huayang, sending such sugar wrapped in red cloth to relatives and friends means that it is a happy event.

After his father put down the candy, he said a few words, he said that he was getting married, and there were some things that he couldn't control. He didn't want to say this, but he always felt that he had to give Aunt Hua an explanation and explanation.

It can be imagined what kind of mood Hua Ergu was in at that time, the person she looked forward to every day and waited for every day finally appeared, but when she appeared, she told herself that she was going to get married and marry another woman as a wife.

Hua Ergu was glad that she didn't show joy and excitement when she saw her father, otherwise she wouldn't know how to end it now. Her mood can be imagined, but the innate stubbornness in her bones made her suppress all her emotions in her heart, lightly said hello to her father, and took a little money out as a gift money.

Hua Ergu said that she was very busy, and she might not be able to drink the wine, but this money was her heart, so she asked her father to take it back and buy two sets of new clothes for the bride to wear.

The father wanted to say something more, but the second aunt didn't listen to it and drove her father out. After pushing her father out of the house, Aunt Hua locked the door from the inside and refused to open it. Father is not the kind of person who stalks, he is not stupid at all, and he knows the current mood of Aunt Hua, so he said something outside the door.

His father's marriage was not his own willingness, so to speak, it was equivalent to a marriage arranged for him by my grandfather. My grandfather was notoriously warm-hearted, and there was a village about forty miles away from our village outside the mountains, where my grandfather had a friend. The other party was not in good health, and his wife died early, so he left a daughter. This man met my grandfather by chance, and my grandfather took pity on his situation and often asked my father to send money and food. That man was so grateful that he took our family as a benefactor.

Not long after, this person couldn't stand it, and he couldn't rest assured that his daughter was before he died. Grandpa was at the bedside at the time, looking at this person's tragic situation, he couldn't bear it, and he solemnly promised that he would bear everything and promise not to let the other party's daughter suffer a little.

Maybe from that time, grandpa had a plan in his heart. After the death of the other party, he did not take the other party's daughter to our village, because he was afraid of gossip, and he also let the other party's daughter live in his own home, but entrusted someone to take care of it. When he was almost old, my grandfather told my father that he should marry the man's daughter.

According to the calculation of time, when my grandfather said this, my father had known Aunt Hua for a long time.

"Lian Du is a filial son." Hua Ergu's tears had stopped, but there was no focus in her eyes, she stared blankly at the bean-like light that was quietly burning, and said: "What does his father ask him to do, even if he is reluctant, he doesn't dare to talk back." ”

I smacked my lips and felt like I wanted to smoke, but I held back. My father never mentioned a word about these things in the family when he was alive, and he probably felt that this was also an unbearable past, and there was no need to let me know. Listening to the meaning of Aunt Hua's words, my father was not satisfied with this marriage and did not agree, but my grandfather patted his chest and gave others a guarantee at that time, and he had been planning for so many years, it was impossible for him to change his mind.

Grandpa probably also did his father's ideological work, and his father was very filial, so he still gave in.

"I know, Liandu, is not a ruthless person." Hua Ergu said as she spoke, with a hint of a smile in her red eyes: "He told me this outside the door to show his own heart, many things, he can't be the master, but he at least let me know that he is not the kind of person who is unkind." ”

After my father said this, he left, went back to his hometown in the countryside, and got married according to his grandfather's wishes.

This incident may have left a heavier scar on Aunt Hua than her father. She was sad for a long time and couldn't let go. She complained about her father and blamed him for not having the courage.

Since when did Hua Ergu never have the idea of getting married, although she complained about my father, but in her heart, she felt that it would be impossible to find someone as good as her father in the future.

This idea is very contradictory, but in the emotional world, many people are contradictory.

Almost two years have passed in a flash, and one evening, Hua Ergu helped people break things, and just came home, his father came back. I haven't seen each other for two years, and the sudden arrival of my father surprised Aunt Hua very much.

In fact, in the past two years, Hua Ergu has not forgotten the past. She was a very stubborn person, and so was her father. For more than 700 days and nights, Hua Ergu thought more than once, what would happen to her if one day, when her father appeared in front of her again?

She had thought about it countless times, but when this day really came, all her previous thoughts were forgotten in an instant. The resentment in her heart was still there, and she didn't say a word in the end, just asked her father lightly, what was the matter with coming here.

"I'm such a temper." Aunt Hua lowered her head, perhaps after learning the news of my father's death today, she blamed herself a little: "No matter what time it is, I don't want to talk softly to others." ”

Father also knew that Aunt Hua's character was like this, so he didn't care. He told Aunt Hua that he had something to do and couldn't solve it, and he wanted Aunt Hua to help.

As soon as Hua Ergu heard this, she felt very angry, she hadn't seen her for two years, her father had never come, and now when she came, she just asked for help.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she simply turned her back to her father and said, if there is anything, you can ask your daughter-in-law to help you.

The father was silent for a while, and then slowly told Aunt Hua that his wife was gone.

Aunt Hua was taken aback, full of calculations, my father has only been married for two years, and no one expected that in these two years, people will be gone.

When I heard this, I felt as if I had been touched by a weakness hidden in my heart. When this happened to Aunt Hua, I must have been born, but I was still very young. I know that my mother gave birth to me in childbirth and didn't make it through.
