Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Last Reply

Song Qingtian took a few stamps to find Chunsheng's daughter-in-law.

Chunsheng's daughter-in-law is called Lin Qiaoxiang, and she has a good relationship with Yang Xiulian.

Lin Qiaoxiang's man Song Chunsheng and Song Qingtian are of the same generation, Song Qingtian walked to Lin Qiaoxiang's door and found that the door of her house was closed, so he began to shout at the door: "Sister-in-law Qiaoxiang, are you at home?" ”

After shouting for a while, no one opened the door, and Song Qingtian was about to go back, when she saw Lin Qiaoxiang trotting back, she moved very lightly, as if she was afraid of being seen.

"It's a sunny day, I've heard you call me from afar."

"Sister-in-law Qiaoxiang, this is the stamp that my mother asked me to give you, I have been looking for it for a long time, and there are only a few left."

Song Qingtian wanted to completely prevent anyone from going to her house to ask for stamps, so she said this to Lin Qiaoxiang. Meaning, I don't have any more stamps in my house.

Lin Qiaoxiang took the stamp with a very grateful look, and took Song Qingtian's hand, insisting that she go in and drink saliva before leaving.

In her previous life, Song Qingtian didn't seem to have any impression of Lin Qiaoxiang, but Lin Qiaoxiang was so enthusiastic that she was embarrassed to refuse, so she followed her into the house.

Lin Qiaoxiang poured a glass of boiling water for Song Qingtian and put a few wild chrysanthemums.

"Wild chrysanthemums are good for the eyes, clear the fire and clear the purpose, this is what I specially picked last autumn, you are reading, drink two more sips and read the book clearly."

Song Qingtian took two sips, and it was really fragrant, with a bitter taste in the mouth, but there was a hint of sweet fragrance in the aftertaste.

Lin Qiaoxiang took advantage of this to go to the back room, opened the drawer and took out a letter, held the letter in front of Song Qingtian, and said a little nervously and shyly: "Qingtian, my sister-in-law has not read, and I can't read the letter from your brother Chunsheng, I want to reply to him, but I can't write." Originally, I wanted to find someone to help me read the letter and write a letter for me, but I didn't know who to look for, so it happened that you came, so you helped my sister-in-law. ”

Rural people value young women, and there are many girls who don't read, and there are not a few people who don't know a single word, looking at Lin Qiaoxiang's young age, only in her twenties, she can't even read a letter, and her heart is inexplicably sentimental.

She is a woman's family, and it must be embarrassing to find a man to read and write a reply, and now that Song Qingtian is here, she is the most suitable person.

"Sister-in-law Qiaoxiang, you are polite, if you are willing to let me read the letter to you, you just trust me, I will definitely read the letter to you and write you a reply."

Song Qingtian took the envelope, opened the letter inside, and found that the paper of the letter had been folded countless times, and it looked a little old.

Song Qingtian instantly understood that a woman couldn't read her husband's letters, so she could only look through those unfamiliar words in the dead of night, and pinned all her thoughts about her husband on this incomprehensible piece of paper. Thinking about this, my heart became more and more sour.

"Sister-in-law, I'm starting to read."

"Mm-hmm, you read it, I'll listen to it."

Lin Qiaoxiang's face was full of anticipation, and after waiting for a week, she could finally hear her husband's words.

The content of the letter is very simple, Song Chunsheng said that he is very good outside, he makes money very much, and he misses Lin Qiaoxiang very much, and when he earns money, buy Lin Qiaoxiang a new dress and take him to see the outside world.

Song Qingtian's Mandarin is good, and it is the letter that he reads with deep emotion.

Lin Qiaoxiang listened while quietly shedding tears of happiness.

Song Qingtian said: "Sister-in-law Qiaoxiang, Brother Chunsheng is so good to you, I really envy people." ”

Lin Qiaoxiang said: "Although I can't understand what he wrote, I guess he must have said so." Your brother Chunsheng is indeed very good to me, he said in the letter that he is very good, but I know that he must be very tired, very hard, digging coal in the coal kiln is manual work, how good can he be? ”

"Brother Chunsheng digging coal in a coal kiln? Where is the coal kiln? ”

"That time, Zhao Sanmeng from Zhaojiawan went to find your third uncle and Qin Xiaofei to dig coal, and then neither of them went, so your Chunsheng brother went instead of them."

When it came to the black coal kiln in Shanxi, Song Qingtian's head was buzzing.

She remembered that in her previous life, the third uncle died in the black coal kiln at a young age, and after she was reborn in this life, she knew the fate of the third uncle and saved the third uncle in time.

"Sister-in-law Qiaoxiang, you miss Brother Chunsheng so much, why don't you let him come back, don't do such hard work."

Song Qingtian tried to persuade Lin Qiaoxiang, she didn't want this loving couple to suffer the pain of life and death in the future.

Lin Qiaoxiang said gloomily: "Sunny day, you should also know the situation of our family, I have been in the door for so many years, and I have never conceived a child, and my mother-in-law and father-in-law look down on me." The family gave birth to this son in the spring, and it was about to break the bloodline. But Chunsheng never disliked me, he said that he earned money, took me to the city to see a doctor, and gave him a son, if I let him come back now, it would not ruin our hope of having a son, I can't be so selfish. ”

Can Song Qingtian persuade Lin Qiaoxiang not to have children, and then live together happily in the spring?

What she can't do is not her low ability, but long-term historical reasons and the deep-rooted concept of raising children and preventing old age in the national family.

In the countryside in the 80s, there were no sons, not only did they face the cold eyes of their families, but even the people in the village would look down on them.

Yang Xiulian was disgusted by Mrs. Song for more than ten years because she did not give birth to a son.

And Lin Qiaoxiang didn't even give birth to a child.

wants to persuade Lin Qiaoxiang to give up the hope of having a child, it is simply whimsical.

If you can't persuade Lin Qiaoxiang, what should you do? Knowing that Song Chunsheng would die, but he couldn't do anything about it, Song Qingtian felt a helplessness that he had never felt before.

Thinking about it again, even if they tried their best to persuade Lin Qiaoxiang to save Song Chunsheng's life, the cold words they suffered because of the regret of not having children in their lives were also a heavy spiritual shackle.

Is life important? Or is it spiritually important? Song Qingtian was a little at a loss.

"Sunny, what's wrong with you? Write me a reply, okay? Lin Qiaoxiang looked at Song Qingtian in a daze, and reminded in a low voice.

Song Qingtian came back to his senses, calmed down, picked up the pen and began to write a reply to Lin Qiaoxiang.

Song Qingtian encouraged Lin Qiaoxiang to say all the words in her heart, Lin Qiaoxiang said very implicitly, Song Qingtian didn't care about this, anyway, Lin Qiaoxiang didn't know how to read, so she wrote two pages of Lin Qiaoxiang's burning longing.

At least, in the years when Song Chunsheng may be close to death, he can deeply feel the strong love of his wife, which is also a kind of spiritual satisfaction for him.

Song Qingtian felt that he should be right to do this.

After writing it, Song Qingtian read what he wrote to Lin Qiaoxiang, and Lin Qiaoxiang was flushed when she heard it, but she didn't raise any objections, and seemed to be very satisfied.

Song Qingtian also wrote Song Chunsheng's address, and after the envelope was sealed, he put a stamp on it by the way, and told Lin Qiaoxiang to put it in the mailbox of the post office.

Lin Qiaoxiang held the written letter tightly in her hand, for fear of being taken away.

Somehow, a thought crossed Song Qingtian's mind, this was likely to be Lin Qiaoxiang's last reply, and from then on, their husband and wife were separated by life and death.

Before leaving, Lin Qiaoxiang suddenly grabbed Song Qingtian's arm and whispered: "Qingtian, there is something I don't know whether to tell you or not, but I always feel that something is wrong, and I don't know who to tell it, and I am even more afraid that I will be troubled if I say it wrong." ”

"What's the matter, sister-in-law Qiaoxiang, if you believe me, tell me."

"I believe in you, and I know that Sun Guiying doesn't dare to provoke you, so I want to say it to you."

"It's my second aunt's family?"

"Yes, this morning, your second aunt Sun Guiying returned to her parents' house with her three sons, and I saw it with my own eyes, and pinched the faces of her two twin sons at that time, which was very cute."

Lin Qiaoxiang said that the child's face was envious, her eyes were a little dull, and she almost forgot to get down to business, but when she came back to her senses, she continued with an embarrassed smile: "At that time, I saw that your second uncle drove a tractor to send them four, but your second uncle just came back and didn't bring your two aunts back together. ”

"My second aunt may have gone back to live at her parents' house? What's this? Song Qingtian looked at Lin Qiaoxiang, who was talking carefully, and was very puzzled, could it be that this woman is a person who likes to gossip and find trouble, and she doesn't look like it.

Lin Qiaoxiang's voice suddenly became even lower, "It's not your second aunt who has anything to do, it's your second uncle." I saw your second uncle leading a strange woman back, I saw him take the woman into the house, your second uncle walked and looked around, as if afraid of being seen, he took the woman into the yard, and closed the door tightly. Then I heard your voice calling me, I was near your second uncle's house, I was too scared to speak loudly, for fear of being discovered by your second uncle, so I trotted all the way and dared to respond to you when I reached the door of the house. ”

Song Qingtian frowned slightly, what is the second uncle doing?

He didn't know the temper of the second aunt, even Lin Qiaoxiang wanted to tell the truth, he was worried that if Sun Guiying made trouble, the second uncle had eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard, and provoked a Yao Xiaotao in the front, and then brought the strange woman home!

Song Qingtian instructed Lin Qiaoxiang not to talk about this matter for the time being, Lin Qiaoxiang said: "If it weren't for the fact that you are a family, I wouldn't have told you, don't worry, my sister-in-law has a tight mouth, and I won't mention what I shouldn't say." ”

Back at home, Song Qingtian told Yang Xiulian what Lin Qiaoxiang said.

Yang Xiulian didn't speak for a long time, what did she say? How does Song Nanfeng mess around, that's someone else's business, and he can't control it.

Mother's reaction made Song Qingtian a little unsure, what is she in charge of this matter? Or whatever?

But it doesn't seem to be good for you to take care of it, and if you do, it can only be harmful.

In the evening, until Song Xifeng came to deliver the bicycle, Song Qingtian told Song Xifeng about the matter, Song Xifeng said: "Qingtian, we shouldn't care about this matter, and we can't take care of it, I'll go back and tell my mother, let my mother go and see what's going on." ”

Perhaps, Mrs. Song came forward, this is the best way.
