It was very late that day, and Hetu and Cheng Jiahua went back with their two children.

Cheng Jiahua is nothing, he is so tired that he can barely straighten his waist. When she got home, she was busy lighting the stove and boiling water, and when Cheng Jiahua took care of the two children to wash, she went to make the bed again. I don't know when she doesn't sleep with Cheng Jiahua anymore, as long as he comes back, he sleeps with Cheng Lin, and he sleeps with his daughter, and the same is true tonight. After a busy day, she didn't even bother to say a few words, hurriedly washed up, and went to bed to get ready for bed. Cheng Jiahua, who was still lying on the side of the bed and was reluctant to leave, wanted to say a few words to her, but when she saw her expression, she sighed in frustration and turned back.

Closing the door and turning off the light, He Tu listened to Cheng Yan lying down beside him, and then asked in a low voice: "Have you seen your grandfather standing with that girl all day today?" ”

Cheng Yan saw that his mother was inexplicably interested in this matter, and he noticed it again, so he couldn't help but feel a sense of invitation, nodded hurriedly, and responded, "They are still holding hands." ”

He Tu chuckled, and the picture that he saw at the time appeared in front of him, they did shake hands, but they quickly let go, even if there was anything between them, it was impossible to show it in front of so many people. She couldn't help but think of Zheng Xi coming with her, why wasn't it like this. Suddenly, her mood became depressed, she sighed lowly, and said, "Sleep." ”

Cheng Jiahua stayed at home for several days before leaving. The day he left, Hetu was really relieved, as if he had sent away something bad. She was desperate to find Zheng Xi and have a good time with him, but she went to the warehouse, and the door to his room was locked tightly, and there was no one inside. She didn't know where he had gone, and she was so confused that she walked back home, sat down in a chair and began to be in a daze.

In the past few days, the weather has suddenly cooled down, and the northwest wind has been blowing all day and night, hardly stopping. As soon as the weather was cold, the two children were too lazy to go out, and they all stayed at home, one playing with himself and the other rushing to do homework. The day could have passed so quietly, but in the afternoon, there was a sudden knock on the door. He Tu was stunned for a moment, there are few people at home, and on such a cold day, I don't know who came.

She got up and called Cheng Yan to open the door. After a long time, Cheng Yan reluctantly put down the pen in his hand, stood up and opened the door.

As soon as he opened a door, a gust of wind blew in, Cheng Yan shuddered, and when he saw Aunt Fanghe and Cheng Siyi standing outside, he couldn't help but shout happily, hurriedly let them in, turned his head and shouted to the back room: "It's my second aunt who is here!" ”

Fang He smiled and nodded, said a few words to Cheng Siyi, and asked her to follow Cheng Yan to play, while she turned around and closed the door and walked towards the kitchen.

He Tu had already gotten out of bed to greet her, she looked at Fang He in surprise, and said with a smile: "Why are you here?" Fanghe couldn't come to her house a few times a year, but she was surprised to come suddenly.

Fang He took off her scarf and said with a smile: "It's boring to stay at home, so I came to my sister-in-law's house to hang out." ”

He Tu looked at her carefully, and saw that she had a lazy look on her face, and a shallow sadness in her eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, come in and sit, it's very cold outside." ”

"It's really cold, it was warm a few days ago, but in the past two days, somehow, it has cooled down all of a sudden." Fang He sat on the chair next to the bed, and Hetu let her go to bed again, saying that the bed was covered with an electric blanket and covered with a quilt to warm up. Fang He shirked a few sentences, and then took off his shoes and went to bed.

"Big brother gone?" Fang He asked as she looked outside.

He Tu nodded, sorted out the quilt, and said, "I left a few days ago, and the store is busy." ”

Fang He sighed and said, "I also want to move out like you and live outside by myself." ”

He Tu knew that she was joking, so he didn't take it seriously. They haven't separated yet, they eat at their in-laws' house and live with their in-laws, and they spend some money on clothes and household all year round, and they don't know how much they have saved. But she still smiled and said, "You save some money with Jiaji and buy a yard by yourself, okay?" ”

"Where can he save the money!" Speaking of this, Fang He's expression suddenly became sad, she sighed, and said, "Sister-in-law, you also know that he is a person who doesn't gamble now, but I don't know how much money he has spent playing outside, and I can't control it." ”

Only then did He Tu figure out Fanghe's thoughts, it turned out that she was looking for herself to complain. It's just that this day is long, and if someone says something, it will also relieve the boredom, and Hetu can't help but be interested, but his face makes a deeply touched look, pats Fanghe's hand, and says, "You let Dad take care of it." I think that when your eldest brother couldn't control his gambling that year, his father was also in charge, so he restrained it a little. ”

"Dad, where do you care?" Fang He sighed, "I took care of it a few years ago, but it didn't work, so I still went out to play." I can't save a penny, and I don't know how I'm going to live in the future. ”

"Go slowly, alas, day by day, whoever lives a good life can't do it." He Tu remembered his thoughts and sighed.

Fang He didn't notice it at all, she didn't know what she remembered, she suddenly sneered, and said, "I see Dad, now all my thoughts are on Liu Yun." ”

"Huh? Liu Yun? He Tu glanced at her in surprise, this is the name of the third brother's daughter-in-law, but she doesn't understand this sentence, what is "all the mind is on Liu Yun"?

"You didn't look at it, buy it for her, wear it, you go to her house and take a look, the furniture is better than the one in your parents' house." Fang He said dissatisfiedly, and twisted the corner of the quilt with his hand hatefully.

He Di had never been to the third brother's room, so naturally she didn't know what the furnishings in his house were, but when she heard Fang He say this, her brows gradually furrowed, and she looked at Fang He suspiciously, and motioned for Fang He to continue.

"-It seems that Liu Yun is his biological daughter, he is reluctant to give us a penny on weekdays, since she got married, what she wants to eat every day, as long as she says it, Dad will buy it, and personally carry it to her house, which of us have had this kind of treatment." Fang He sneered again, "I think it's very evil." ”

He Tu didn't dare to think about this kind of thing, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it, how can there be such a thing." ”

"Sister-in-law, you can't see it, I look at it every day, and I'm very angry." Fang He said, suddenly hesitated, she glanced at Hedi a few times, hesitated for a few seconds, and then lowered her voice and said, "Sister-in-law, I told you, don't tell others." ”

"You say." He hurriedly agreed, "I won't tell anyone else." ”

Fang He glanced out of the door, and then said in a low voice: "I heard people outside say that Liu Yun was born to my father." ”

He bluffed and hurriedly said, "How come? Really? ”

"I think it's true, otherwise how could Dad be so good to her." Fang He pursed his lips.

He Tu still couldn't believe it, and after a while, he said: "No, even if it's biological, then Dad is confused, and he told the third brother about this family business." ”

"Didn't you see that day when Dad and Liu Yun's mother were sticky? I also took a special look at my mother's reaction, and my mother was very unhappy that day, and she didn't say a few words. ”

He Tu suddenly had a different feeling in her heart, the image of her father-in-law seemed to collapse in her heart all of a sudden, she felt a little gloating, and a little disgusted, and asked, "What you said is true or false?" ”

"Eighty is true." Fang He also showed some gossip on his face, "Others shouldn't say it in front of their parents, but don't say it in private?" I've heard a long time ago that Liu Yun's mother is my father's old lover, and the two of them don't know how they weren't together, so this time I'd rather make Jia Ye uncomfortable, break up a good pair, and tell Liu Yun's daughter to Jia Ye, just to see the two of them a few more times in the future by looking at the child. Look at that Liu Yun, no matter his appearance or character, which point is worthy of Shangjiaye, he is still a few years older, I also heard that my father used to want to give Liu Yun to the eldest brother, but as a result-" Speaking of this, Fang He suddenly stopped, looked at Hedi, and hesitated on his face.

"You can go on." He said anxiously.

"I told you not to be angry."

"Don't be angry."

Fang He sighed, "As a result, the eldest brother has all his thoughts - all on Jiajia, unless she doesn't marry, Dad will disperse this thought." Poor good person, just tossed away. ”

Seeing that Fanghe talked about Jiajia, the doubts in his heart became even worse, and he couldn't help asking, "What does this have to do with Jiajia?" ”

"You thought you were going to be a good person, where is there such a mysterious thing." Fang He's expression suddenly became gloomy, she seemed to be a little scared, and a little unfair, "It's not for my parents to toss, I squeezed her in private and bullied her." I heard the old aunt next door say that Jia Jia is a good person, even if her parents are like this, she is still filial to them. ”

"Okay, what are your parents doing with her?"

"What do you say, it's not to let her take the initiative to divorce, so that the eldest brother can marry Liu Yun." After Fang He said this, he cautiously looked at Hetu's face again, and was relieved to see that Hetu was not angry.

He Tu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that the past she didn't know had such a relationship, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"How could they have thought that they had made too much trouble, not only did they not leave, but they also let a person go like this."

"Isn't that better?" He Tu suddenly sneered, "When people go, there will be no one to stop them anymore." ”

Fang He also sneered, "During that time, there were ups and downs in the city, how dare Dad marry the eldest brother at that time, almost everyone knows about this matter, and we were kept in the dark." I really couldn't bear it anymore in the past two days, so I thought about finding my sister-in-law to complain, alas. She shook her head, staring at the bright red quilt.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and both of them were immersed in their own thoughts, and did not say a word.

He Tu had mixed feelings in her heart, she couldn't tell what she felt, she felt uncomfortable, and she felt sympathy, and at the same time it was full of schadenfreude and sarcasm, this was the first time in so many days that she didn't think of Zheng Xi, and her mind was completely focused on other things.

"Then Liu Yun is good." After a while, Fang He said again, "She is very arrogant and arrogant, and it is more difficult to serve than our sister-in-law, and I will now go to the garden to get a vegetable and a fruit to be looked at by her, as if the garden is hers." She's only been married for a few days, and I'm going to have a hard time in the future. As she spoke, she rubbed her eyes and bit her lip tightly, as if holding back her tears.

As if he hadn't heard her words, it took a long time for him to come back to his senses and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, what can I do, bear with it." ”

"yes, what can I do." Fang He reluctantly smiled, "I'm okay, the third brother is sad, he hasn't been back since the day he got married, Dad asked people to look for it and couldn't find it, I don't know where he went, Dad was angry about it, but there was no way at all." ”

Thinking of Cheng Jiaye's gentle and delicate face, He Di couldn't help but shake his head and said with a wry smile: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." ”

The two of them chatted late that day, and Hetu sent Fanghe back. Seeing the figures of the mother and daughter disappear into the strength of the road, Hedi wrapped her coat tightly, turned around and walked towards the house, and after taking two steps, she stopped again, turned her head and glanced in the direction of the warehouse, her eyes filled with a deep sorrow, and sighed.

"Xiao Yan." Once inside, she closed the door and shouted towards the living room. Cheng Yan was lying on the coffee table doing his homework, when he heard the shout, he looked up and responded: "I'm doing my homework." ”

"Come here!"

Cheng Yan frowned and pursed his lips, reluctantly stood up, walked to his mother's side, and muttered, "School is about to start, and I haven't finished my homework yet." ”

As if she hadn't heard it, she kicked off her shoes and climbed into bed, looked out the window for a while, and then muttered to Cheng Yan about what she had just heard.

Cheng Yan is still young, where does he know these things. She listened in a daze, knowing that her mother was unhappy and wanted to nag herself. This time, she is no longer complaining about her father, but her grandparents, how did her grandparents provoke her? Cheng Yan heard his mother talk about his grandfather's lover, and grandpa has a lover? What is a lover? Cheng Yan shook his head, looking ignorant.

"You go to your grandfather's house in the future, pay attention, see if there is anything that can prove this, and bring it back to show me." After a long time, Hetu finally finished speaking, and said this to Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan looked at her, not understanding why her mother wanted her to let her do such a thing, but she still agreed and asked, "Can I go back to do my homework?" ”

"Go, go." He waved his hand impatiently, his eyes still fixed on the poplar tree outside the window, which had lost its leaves. Cheng Yan exhaled, turned around and walked outside, suddenly feeling extremely bored.

However, it seems to be a subconscious action, every time Cheng Yan goes to his grandparents' house to play with Cheng Siwen's sisters, he will unconsciously pay attention to what he sees in his eyes. Since my sister-in-law went to school in other places, her room was empty, and the Cheng Siwen sisters were all older, so it was not good to sleep with their parents anymore, so their grandparents let them live in my sister-in-law's room temporarily. In that room, in addition to the things of the Cheng Siwen sisters, there were many old things piled up in one place, Cheng Yan went to play with them, and the three of them were nested on the bed in that room, talking to each other. One day, when there was no topic, Cheng Siyi suddenly said mysteriously: "I found something that you would never have imagined." ”

Cheng Yan and Cheng Siwen looked at her curiously and asked, "What is it?" ”

Cheng Siyi turned over and got out of bed, and rummaged in the big box in the corner of the room for a long time before turning out a wooden box. As if holding some treasure, she climbed into bed, solemnly placed the box in front of her two sisters, and opened it.

"Huh?" Cheng Yan saw that there was a stack of letters and a few photos inside, and he couldn't help but reach out and pick it up to look at it. The photos are several old photos, including a photo of my grandfather with others when he was young, and a photo of the whole family. Cheng Yan looked at it, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and point to one of the women in the group photo and ask, "Who is this?" ”

Cheng Siwen listened to this, took it and looked at it, there were grandparents on it, as well as her father, uncle, and uncle, and there was a woman standing next to the uncle, who looked very good, but she couldn't recognize who it was.

"I don't know." She shook her head and put the picture back up.

Cheng Yan shrugged his shoulders, put down the photo, and picked up the letters again. She suddenly remembered what her mother had told her, and saw that the envelope said "Ma Zhilan", but she didn't know who this "Ma Zhilan" was, and she didn't know who wrote it to "Ma Zhilan". She peeked at Cheng Siwen and Cheng Siyi, and put the letter back, wanting to take it back when they weren't paying attention, so that she could please her mother. She didn't think that it was wrong or wrong to do so, and her heart suddenly became excited, as if she was taking a risk.

He Di was really interested in those letters, and she let Cheng Yan read them over and over again, with a sneer on her face all the time. Finally, she heard enough, and began to complain to Cheng Yan again, Cheng Yan was impatient to listen, but she didn't dare to go away, so she had to go in and out of her left ear, and she didn't hear it.

The secrets of this family, Cheng Yan almost heard from his mother's mouth, there was no lack of some things that added oil and vinegar, and even Cheng Yan later began to dislike his grandparents, and he almost didn't go often. Soon, Cheng Yan forgot about it, because she was about to start school, and there was still a lot of homework to be done, so her attention was all focused on this, and she couldn't play anymore.

The night before school started, my mother took her to call my father to ask for tuition, and just hung up the phone and turned to leave, but my mother stopped again, picked up the microphone and dialed a long list of phone numbers. Cheng Yan was bored lying on the counter, looking at the goods on the shelves inside, thinking about whether he could let her buy her some delicious food after her mother finished calling. She was distracted, but she heard her mother scream, turned her head to look, and saw that her mother looked panicked, and her face turned white. She couldn't help but straighten up, worried.

"Where is she going? Did you look for it? Hedi's nervous breathing became rapid.

"I'm looking for it!" There was the voice of Cui Ying from the other end, they came back with Heyi Hefu some time ago, and they still lived in the original courtyard, "I've been looking for two days, and there is no shadow, except for the letter, nothing is gone." ”

He Tu looked at the phone blankly, stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly said: "In this way, I will book a ticket back immediately, you and my father don't worry, maybe the child is curious about where to run." ”

"How old is she, and she is still a child." Cui Ying's anxious cry came out, "She still doesn't know what she did." ”

"Okay, Mom, don't worry, I'll go back right away." He Tu said, hung up the phone in a hurry, grabbed Cheng Yan's arm and walked back.

"Mom, what's wrong? Where are you going back? Cheng Yan looked at his mother puzzled.

"That aunt of yours!" He hated that iron could not be made of steel and said, "I ran away with someone, I'll go back and help your grandfather find it." ”

Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows, but he felt that this matter was very novel. But she didn't have any unusual emotions, as if this matter was as normal as eating and drinking, and she was happy that her mother was going to leave home for a few days, and she could finally be free!

Before leaving, she went to tell Cheng Yan to take Cheng Yan to take Cheng Lin to his grandparents' house for dinner in the past few days, lock the door before going to bed at night, and don't open anyone who knocks on the door. Cheng Yan obediently agreed, but she had her own calculations in her heart, at the moment when her mother left home, she felt that she had suddenly become an adult and could take on the responsibility of taking care of her family and younger brother.

He Tu hurried to the station, bought a ticket, and the two-hour journey took her seat. I finally got home, and I almost trotted all the way, but fortunately, the road surface has been recently repaired, and it is not as bumpy as before. When I got home, the door was open, and there was no sound in the yard, so I ran into the door and shouted a few times, but no one answered.

When she was in a panic, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, and she asked suspiciously, "Who?" ”

He Tu turned around and saw that it was a dark and thin little boy, a child of the second uncle's family, and hurriedly asked, "Where are my parents and my parents, have you seen them?" ”

"They went out and let me look over the yard here." The boy had never seen Hetu, and asked with a frown.

"Do you know where they went?"

The boy shook his head, and Hedi's heart became even more anxious. She said, "Go back, don't look at it." ”

"Who are you?"

"I'm Hedi, the second daughter of this family." He turned and walked towards the house, took two steps, and when he looked back and saw that the boy was still looking at the door, he couldn't help asking, "Do you know what they went out for?" ”

"I don't know."

Only then did he let go, his parents naturally wouldn't tell outsiders about this kind of thing, what a shame for the family. She entered the house, threw her bag on the kang, sighed heavily, and sat down.

She always felt that she knew Heyi quite well, knew that this girl had her own thoughts in her stomach, and her temper was also very stubborn, and she decided that she had to do something, but she didn't expect to do such a thing. She is in her twenties, and if she wants to find any job, she can just come to the city to find herself and her sister, and she can't find any job. He Tu thought about it and became even more angry, he didn't cherish his own family at all, and ran away with people, is this something that a good girl can do? When I was in the field with my parents before, I was a fun-loving person, running around, but now that I'm back, it's still like this, if Cheng Yan does this kind of thing in the future, I have to discount her legs.

He was sitting muffled when there was a noise outside, followed by a jumble of footsteps. She hurriedly got up, lifted the curtain and went out, and saw her parents walking into the house with a worried face, followed by Hefu, also with a bitter face.

"Mom!"

Jiafu and Cuiying looked up, saw that Hedi was back, barely squeezed out a smile, and asked, "Why did you come back, didn't you let your mother tell you not to worry." ”

"How can I not be in a hurry for such a big matter!" He hurriedly stepped forward to hold his mother's arm, and turned his head to his father and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Don't be angry, don't be angry!" Cui Yingqi's face changed, his eyes were red, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Jiafu sighed, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to Hedi.

He Tu unfolded it and saw that the handwriting on it was in a hurry, and at first glance, he found a piece of paper to write on it, which read: "Dad, Mom, I don't think my life can go on like this, I have to go out and break through to feel comfortable." Don't worry, I have friends, let's go somewhere else to find something to do, and when I succeed, I'll be back! ”

Hedi's brows suddenly furrowed even tighter, and she sighed: "How do she know the way of this world, it is difficult for a boy to go out, and she is a girl." ”

"I don't know who to bring the bad to, but I look very obedient on weekdays." Jiafu sighed again and said, "Let's go in first, it's cold outside." ”

The family sat together and discussed for a long time, and went out to look for it again in the afternoon, but still couldn't find it. Cui Ying said that the money she put in her pocket was gone, and she must have bought a ticket for Heyi, and she didn't know where she went. Jiafu asked them to go back, and he went to the station to ask again, and came back very late, and before his family could ask, he shook his head with a frustrated look.

"Forget it, forget it! I'm not looking for it! Just because I didn't give birth to this! Cuiying collapsed and sat down on the kang and raised her hand to cover her face.

"Mom, don't worry." He Tu raised his head and stroked her back, but he didn't know how to comfort her, and he was anxious in his heart, but he was just anxious, and there was nothing he could do.

After looking for two more days, they didn't even find the shadow of Heyi, and Hexin and Herui also heard the news and rushed back home. Although there are two more people, there is still no clue, and the only news found is that the boy in a family also left a letter and ran away, and Jiafu decided that Heyi ran with the boy.

"Look, what a shame! What a shame! Cuiying cried, patting the kang noodles with her hands. The daughters stood on the ground and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Things have come to this point, and Jia Fu loves face, so it is impossible to go to the boy's house to make trouble. He gritted his teeth and said, "From today on, I should have never given birth to this, and you should not have this sister, and she will not be allowed to recognize her when she comes back!" Don't talk about it again! ”

Although the sisters still wanted to persuade, they looked at their father's face, which was rarely stern, and the words that reached their throat were swallowed back. After staying at home for a few days, Hetu was thinking about her two children, so she said goodbye to her parents and sisters and went home, along the way, she had a calm face, as if she was pressing a big stone on her heart, and the corners of her mouth were so heavy that she couldn't lift it.
