Hearing the old lady call out her name, Wan Niang knew that the old lady knew who she was. She didn't say anything about the separation, but smiled: "I'll go back to my parents' house." ”

When I went back to my parents' house, I brought so many things and children with me, and I was either kicked out by my in-laws' family, or I had already separated from my in-laws' family. The old lady didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Xujia Village is far away from the commune!" It's not safe for you to take your two children with you, why don't you rest at my house first and leave tomorrow? ”

"It's okay, it's not far away. I walked through. Thank you, Grandma. "She is not familiar with this grandmother, so there is no reason to trouble others. There are no hotels or hotels in the commune, not even guest houses, and she doesn't have people who live in the commune. And...... If she goes back early, she will be able to know the attitude of Grandma and Abba as soon as possible, and make plans early.

"Huh...... Do you have a flashlight? "Although the sun sets later in summer, it is already five or six o'clock now, and when I walk to Xujia Village, it may be seven or eight o'clock, and the sky is probably dark.

Wan Niang shook her head, "It's still early......"

"I have a flashlight at home." The old woman in the cafeteria stood up and went to the back of the kitchen, and after a while came out with a portable flashlight, "You can use it, and when you are free, you can take it to school and return it to me." ”

"Thank you, Grandma." Wan Niang stood up and took the flashlight, this old woman in the cafeteria is much more serious than the old lady who sells snacks at the school gate, but people are really hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, only she uses a flashlight to cook for them, Wan Niang can see it.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Wan Niang took a few yuan from Secretary Huang to pay for the meal, and was about to leave with the child.

"You ......" The old woman in the canteen took the money given by Wanniang, stared at Wanniang for a while, and said: "If you can't find a job, you can come to me, my canteen is short of people." ”

"Okay." Wan Niang smiled and agreed. This hard-mouthed and soft-hearted old woman is really good. She didn't say she wanted to help her, she didn't say she pity her, sympathize with her, and just let her do the work. It preserved her small self-esteem.

Wan Niang left the school with her two children and walked to Xujia Village.

Wanniang has a father and a mother, as well as two older brothers, and a younger brother has been added to the family this year.

Originally, Wanniang had four older brothers, but when she was five years old, there was a drought, and her parents not only lost her, but also lost the eldest brother and second brother. Because the eldest brother and the second brother were both twelve or thirteen years old at the time, the third brother and the fourth brother were only nine years old and the other was seven years old. Parents feel that if the eldest brother and the second brother are smart, they can live, and they are abandoned because they are girls. In that year's drought, there was basically no way to live in the whole country, many, many people were so hungry that they ate loess, the roots and leaves of the trees were dried into dry firewood, and they were dug up by others if they wanted to eat, and there were incidents of eating sheep in some areas, and the sheep were not real sheep, but people, the elderly and children.

So when she was a child, Wanniang didn't complain at all, because the parents at that time had no choice, and patriarchy has been engraved in their bones since ancient times, and even Wanniang herself at that time felt that she should be abandoned.

Later, Wanniang was saved by Wang Jian, everyone survived the difficulties, and her parents took her back. And the eldest brother and the second brother don't know where they have gone. Maybe it's alive, or maybe it's dead.

Marrying Wang Jian was completely proposed by Wan Niang herself, because she was also superstitious, she heard that Chong Xi could live, she thought she could really save Wang Jian. In order to pay the family planning fine to her newborn brother, her parents agreed to her marrying into the Wang family.

Wanniang's parents are honest farmers, Grandma has a soft temperament, and listens to Abba's everything, Abba is very old and antique, but she is a responsible person. Although the drought is equivalent to giving up three children in order to survive, but has been diligently raising this family, after the drought Wanniang was brought home, she also secretly saw her father hiding in the pigsty in the pigweed box secretly crying, shouting the names of the eldest brother and the second brother, at that time there was no way, there was really no way.

The third brother of the family went out to work with the people in the village, and he walked by train, and his parents cried into tears that day, and then the third brother would send 50 yuan home every month and write a long letter. And the fourth brother followed his grandmother, and he didn't dare to go out to work, so he farmed honestly at home.

When Wanniang returned to Xujia Village with her children, most of the families were still cooking on fires, and some of them were better with 25-watt yellow lights, and the ordinary ones were still lit with kerosene lamps. When Wan Niang went outside her yard, she saw Abba sitting on a chair in the yard fanning.

The grandmother was breastfeeding her little brother in the yard, and the fourth brother was carrying corn to the house.

Wan Niang stopped, the scenes in there were so warm and warm, can she really join?

Wang Wenyao and Wang Yu were more nervous than Wanniang, they were very obedient all the way, and they didn't speak all the time, in fact, it wasn't that they didn't want to speak, but they were afraid that Wanniang's family would not accept them, so what should they do in the future? They thought a lot, if Wan Niang's family really didn't want them, could they really let Wan Niang leave with them?

Wanniang gritted her teeth and turned around, in fact, she was also very afraid. Although she has the memory of Wan Niang, she is no longer Wan Niang in her core. Is it really good to affect people like this?

Wang Yu and Wang Wenyao saw Wanniang turn around, and also thought about leaving. But if they leave, they should ...... Go?

"Wan'er?" As soon as the three of them turned around, they heard someone talking inside. Mother Li put the child in his father's arms and walked out of the yard and walked in front of Wanniang, "It's really you, Wan'er, why did you come back?" Why haven't I seen it for a few days, it's so dark, and I've lost weight. ”

"Grandma, it's okay, I'm fine, don't worry." When Wan Niang saw Li, she remembered her mother in her previous life, her family conditions were good, so she had never suffered since she was a child, she didn't know the importance of studying, and she was not admitted to university. The children of her mother's classmates and friends were all admitted to college, and she didn't know how much to lose her mother's face, but her mother never complained about her, and she was just as good to her. But he died in the ambulance, and his mother sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man, I don't know how sad it should be!

"You kid, you just have a hard mouth." Li said that he was going to pull Wanniang to the courtyard. But when I pulled it, I couldn't pull it, and I immediately found that it was wrong, Wan Niang was carrying things in a big bag, and there were two children by her side.

She had seen these two children, and she saw them the day she sent Wanniang to marry.

When Li Shi saw it, she couldn't see what was happening, her tears flowed out, she rushed forward, hugged Wanniang, "My son! Why is your life so miserable! ”

"Grandma...... Don't do that, Daddy watched. Wan Niang put down the things in her hand and gently patted Li's back, "Grandma, when I come back, I may have to trouble you for a while." ”

"It's not troublesome, we're a family." Li glanced at Father Xu in the courtyard, picked up Wanniang's snakeskin bag on the ground, and pulled Wanniang to the courtyard, "Don't be afraid of your father, come in." ”

Wan Niang's father is called Xu Hu, and when she saw Wan Niang coming back in embarrassment, her eyes widened, "Then Lao Tzu Niang bullied you, didn't she?" ”
