The old woman turned her head to look at her and said with a puzzled look, "What's the matter?" Did you meet her? ”

Zhu Yanping's face changed, she shook her head a little nervously, and said embarrassedly, "No, I guessed." ”

The old woman didn't say anything more, just smiled.

"Why is her grave in the grove at the head of the village again?" Zhu Yanping didn't know how many times he had asked this sentence in his heart, and he didn't know if he had said it just now. She asked again.

The mother-in-law had a bitter smile on her face and said, "The mountain road where the old locust tree she hanged back then is the only road leading to the outside of the mountain. It's been about a decade or so since this happened. Some bold young people felt that the grave was always placed under the locust tree, and it was not good for everyone to come over, so they chose a day to be placed in the grove at the head of the village. ”

"Oh." Zhu Yanping was still a little nervous, and she could see that her face was abnormal.

The old woman lowered her head slightly, turning the spinning ball in her hand, she probably didn't know what to say anymore.

Zhu Yanping seemed to be thinking at that moment, and this time lasted for a few seconds. It was Zhu Yanping who broke the silence first. She looked up at the mother-in-law in embarrassment, and continued, "Mother-in-law, may I ask if when they buried her, were they buried with her parents-in-law?" ”

The mother-in-law shook her head vigorously and said, "Girl, haven't you understood what I said for a long time?" She came from out of town, and she came alone. has a husband who doesn't recognize her, how can she have parents-in-law? Even if she died, she didn't remarry? ”

"Oh." Zhu Yanping nodded embarrassedly again, she didn't know what was going on, obviously that evening, when she was in her yard, she saw an old man who looked a little vicious. Why does this mother-in-law say that she doesn't have a father-in-law here?

This time the old woman probably felt that there was nothing more to say to her. She stood up, leaned her waist slightly, and said as if she had some respect for Zhu Yanping, "Girl, it's too early, we should make dinner." ”

Zhu Yanping stood up awkwardly. She just knew she was coming out early in the morning. Unexpectedly, after a few rounds around the village, it was almost dark now.

It's time for dinner.

She had to nod and say, "Mother-in-law, if I have any questions in mind, I will come back to you again?" ”

The mother-in-law didn't refuse again this time, nodded helplessly, sighed and said, "I said these things once, and I said them a few times." If you have any questions in mind, come back to them. ”

"Yes, mother-in-law." After Zhu Yanping finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, her grandson came back from playing outside, followed by a group of children, probably when he went out with chocolate, each child licked a bite, and now they are taking turns licking in her direction.

At that moment, Zhu Yanping was slightly touched. Without thinking, she said, "When I get back to the city, I'll bring you a box of chocolates so you can eat them all at once." ”

"Really?" The group of children pounced on them right then.

Zhu Yanping took a step back with some fear. The old woman hurriedly stopped, "Don't be ashamed, it's such a big child, let's eat a piece of candy together." People are just polite words. You don't treat her as an outsider. ”
