Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaoxiao took a light bag and got on the bus home, all the way to the direction of his house, and when he got off the bus, it was already ten in the afternoon.

After sitting on the bus for three or four hours in a row, she even had lunch and just cushioned her stomach casually. Standing at the foot of the mountain at this time, Zhang Xiaoxiao only felt sore and hungry.

The village where her hometown is located is built in the middle of two mountains, and although this place is not far from City B, it has not been very wealthy because of its relatively remote and sparse population.

Even the only road in this village is hastily pressed, the road surface is not smooth, and vehicles must be careful not to rub the chassis when driving in and out.

However, there are not a few cars in this village, except for the private car of the village chief secretary's family, everyone else in the village travels by three-wheeled wheels or tractors.

Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed and walked towards the village.

The more she walked, the more she felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Along the way, she also met several neighboring villagers, but the strange thing was that they all looked a little surprised when they saw her, and after being stunned for a second, they would look at her with a look full of pity, which made her feel a little panicked.

What's wrong with them?

Subconsciously looked down at his body, and didn't find anything inappropriate.

Zhang Xiaoxiao repeatedly confirmed that the problem was not her, and when she met an aunt pushing a tricycle passing by, she deliberately slowed down and took the initiative to say hello.

"Aunt Liu, are you going out?" She smiled and asked politely.

Aunt Liu stopped the car, glanced at Zhang Xiaoxiao, and said, "Eh... This is Zhang Xiaoxiao, they have grown so big! I see your dad has been waiting at the door since the morning, so you should go back quickly. ”

The eldest lady had a smile on her face, Zhang Xiaoxiao but sensitively saw a hint of flattery on her face, and what did not match was that the eldest lady's eyes also carried a little pity.

"Aunt Liu, I just met a few people in the village, I see that everyone is in a hurry, is there something wrong?" She didn't ask directly, but first changed to a more tactful way of asking.

"What?! You don't know? The lady was startled when she heard Zhang Xiaoxiao's words, and her tone suddenly raised an octave and asked with some surprise.

She looked the girl up and down, and after a while, as if she understood something, her eyes became more and more pity.

"What a sin, kid, you should go home early and ask what's going on." She shook her head and pushed the cart and turned to leave, without saying a word.

What the hell is going on!

Zhang Xiaoxiao was confused, she watched Aunt Liu's back go farther and farther, took a deep breath and continued to walk forward.

Soon the village came into her sights, and the distance was getting closer.

She saw a few half-burned paper coins scattered on the ground, swept by the wind and floating around the village.

Someone in the village has died!

made this judgment in an instant, Zhang Xiaoxiao quickened his pace and walked in the direction of his house, and sure enough, at the gate of the yard, he saw Zhang's father sitting under the tree smoking a cigarette.

"Dad," she called softly, not very intimately.

"Why are you so slow! I didn't answer your call, didn't you want to kill me in a hurry! ”

The rough voice sounded, Dad Zhang threw away the cigarette pouch in his hand and stood up, walked towards Zhang Xiaoxiao in three steps and two steps, and stood still.

Zhang Xiaoxiao subconsciously took a step back and looked at his biological father slightly defensively.

"I said you kid, I'm your father, what are you afraid of!" Father Zhang frowned a little unhappily when he saw Xiao's reaction, and suddenly grabbed her arm and walked into the house.

"Come into the house with me, I have something to discuss with your mother."

Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her arm, but found that Zhang's father grabbed her with great strength, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free, so she had to be dragged back to the house all the way with apprehension.

"Dad, you tap!" She was in pain, frowned, and said.

Father Zhang seemed to find that he was too anxious, and his grip on her loosened slightly, but his pace did not slow down at all.

"Yo, Xiaoxiao is back." Lin Fang was mopping the floor in the room, and when she saw the father and daughter walking in, she stood up straight, and looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao with a smile, looking amiable.

"Mom! I want to eat sugar! ”

A childish voice sounded, and a little chubby dun ran into the house through the back door, shouting.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhang Xiaoxiao, who had just walked into the room, and immediately frowned and said with some disgust: "Why did she come back, I don't like her, you go!" The last sentence of the little chubby dun was directed at Zhang Xiao, and the disgust on his dirty face was undisguised.

This little chubby dun is Lin Fang's son, and he entered Zhangjiamen with her.

This little fat man didn't like Zhang Xiaoxiao from the beginning, and he often dictated to her because of his young age, but Xiaoxiao was never tired of paying attention to it.

"Shut up! Eat sugar, eat sugar, know how to eat every day! This is your sister, is there such a thing you talk to! ”

What surprised Zhang Xiaoxiao was that Zhang's father, who usually always turns a blind eye to the little chubby dun, actually scolded him today, and he was actually defending himself in and out of his words!

She didn't feel any joy, she just felt that things were getting more and more complicated.

"You... You scolded me... Wow! The little fat man was suddenly reprimanded, stunned for a second, and then sat directly on the ground and cried, and even rolled on the wet ground just after wiping.

Usually at this time, Lin Fang would take out a piece of candy and give him a few more words, and then send him to play by himself.

But today things have changed slightly.

"Your dad is right! You know how to cry every day except for eating, learn from your sister, and be sensible and filial. Lin Fang didn't comfort his son today, but reprimanded him with Father Zhang! After she finished saying this, she looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao again, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, my brother is still young and ignorant, don't be like him." ”

Seeing that everyone was biased towards Zhang Xiaoxiao, and no one coaxed him, Xiao Chubby Dun suddenly cried even more fiercely, he got up one by one, wiped his tears and snot on his sleeves, and then glared at Zhang Xiaoxiao viciously, and said, "Nasty ghost!" Big garbage! You deserve to marry a dead man! ”

He finished saying this sentence when Father Zhang and Lin Fang couldn't stop it, and then ran out with a smoke, shouting from afar, "My mother said that if you marry a dead person, you won't live long before you will be killed, so you just wait to die!" Nasty! ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao, who heard this, was completely stunned, she looked at Zhang's father and Lin Fang suddenly, and saw that the two of them had some embarrassed and complicated expressions on their faces, and they looked like they didn't know where to start.

It was Lin Fang who adjusted his mood first, pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, your brother doesn't know where to hear some gossip nonsense, you don't have to take it to heart."
