I can finally go home, the winter in Duo Ni Village is a little cold, and there is no ice in the city, on the mountains, on the trails, and on the eaves of Duo Ni Village...... But there are already icicles everywhere.

They took a bus home, and the bus did not go directly, and they had to walk five miles.

New Year's goods are some dry goods, melon seeds, candy or something, Xu Shu has wholesale experience, and the wholesale department is familiar, and the things she buys are relatively cheap, and even some of them are leftovers that she usually sells to take home. The most expensive are a few new clothes.

The two children were happy, after all, this is the place where they have been around since childhood, and the experience of picking wild fruits in their memories is also very kind.

It's a pity that it's winter, and there are no wild fruits left on the mountain.

When the mother and son went home, Liu Hao was in a good mood, and after the children in the village began to have winter vacation, he began to clean up the house, so the house was clean and tidy.

After a short farewell to the newlywed, Xu Shu saw that Liu Hao was a little embarrassed, and her face turned crimson.

After two or three days of happy family, Xu Shu remembered her mother's family.

"Let's not prepare too many New Year's goods this year, let's go see my parents, right?" Taking advantage of the opportunity for the child to go out to play, Xu Shu asked Liu Hao.

"...... your parents?" Liu Hao was stunned for a moment, he was also a fool, and he hadn't asked where Xu Shuniang's house was since the day he got married.

"I have to tell you a truth, a truth that I have been hiding for eight or nine years......" Xu Shu looked at Liu Hao and told her life story little by little, she told the story she had sealed for eight or nine years.

Liu Hao was shocked into a cold sweat.

"I thought you were an orphan......"

"It's almost the same as orphans, in fact, the women who marry are almost the same as orphans......" Xu Shu said quietly.

As soon as Xu Shu said this, Liu Hao felt bad, and he remembered Liu Ming...... Liu Ming can't be an orphan......

"However, after disappearing for so many years, I suddenly went back......" Liu Hao didn't know how to express it.

"I've already written a letter to my mother's family on Eleven, and I plan to go to my mother's house for the New Year this year, do you think it's okay?" Xu Shu asked.

"Why don't you go and take a look, let's come back for the New Year......"

"Yes."

In the evening, I told the two children to visit their grandparents.

The two children were a little surprised, Liu Ming was better, after all, Xu Shu was a stepmother, and it was normal to have never heard of her grandparents, so Xu Jie was strange.

I've never heard my mother mention my grandparents......

But he just widened his eyes and didn't say anything, anyway, the affairs of adults are better to take care of.

Go to relatives, children like it.

Just go, until now Xu Shu knew that there was a fifty-mile road from Duo Ni Village to her mother's house, and there were four small villages in between...... No wonder no one has found out after all this time.

Fifty miles of road, not much luggage, although you have to walk (there are also roads between villages, but generally you can't touch buses, and the road is also very rugged, and the road between the two villages has not been opened...... They walked for a morning and arrived.

When I arrived, my mother's family was cleaning up the table after lunch.

Originally, everyone was happy.

Behold

, Xu Shu and her husband Liu Hao took Liu Ming and Xu Ming to appear in front of their parents, and their mother suddenly went crazy to find a wooden stick.

"I'll kill you! Do you still have the face to come back? ”

"Why haven't you come back to see us for so many years? We thought you were long gone......"

Xu Shu knew that her mother wouldn't really fight, but she was just angry for a while, so she just smiled, although she actually wanted to cry, and her eyes were full of tears.

But Xu Jie was frightened and hurriedly blocked in front of his mother.

"Yo, got a little helper?" Grandma threw down the wooden stick and hugged Xu Jie, tears streaming down her face.

Xu Jie was frightened and a little overwhelmed.

"Quick, call grandma ......," Xu Shu said to the two children.

"Grandma......" Liu Ming's voice was not too loud.

"This ...... Your daughter? Xu Shuma was stunned for a moment, and then came back to her senses.

"Xu Shu......" Xu Shu's father is not good at expressing himself, watching this big family go home, he is happy and sad, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back......"

"Ah, is it my sister's family? Come on, come on...... Come into the house and warm up...... a woman greeted everyone.

"You...... Is it a brother and sister? "Rural people call their younger brother's wife a younger sister.

"Exactly......" the woman laughed.

"Come, call cousin, cousin......" The woman pulled her son by her side and called out to him to greet the guests.

"Ah, is this a little nephew? So handsome! Xu Shu smiled, and turned around and asked the two children to call "cousin......

Many of the children got acquainted with each other, and they talked and laughed while playing.

"Sister......" The younger brother who had just come out of the thatched hut outside the house was really sad and happy when he saw Xu Shu, and he couldn't believe the facts in front of him, "You are still ......" He wanted to say that you were still alive, but suddenly realized that these words were unlucky, and quickly took it back.

"I didn't know you would come today, now I can only eat some noodles first......" Xu Shuma then remembered to make them something to eat.

After a while, everyone calmed down, drinking tea, and busy with work......

After eating the noodles, the family began to prepare to eat for Xu Shu.

Dad kills chickens, younger brother slaughters ducks, mom picks vegetables, and younger brother and daughter-in-law clean up the room...... They're all busy.

Liu Hao didn't treat himself as an outsider, and asked his brother-in-law where the axe was, and he came to chop firewood.

Seeing things and thinking about things, Xu Shu excitedly looked east and west in the house.

Everything in the house has changed, and Xu Shu's daughter's room when she was young has long since become her brother-in-law's......

The author inserts a poem to describe the situation of Xu Shu, a foreign-married girl, returning to her parents' home.

Married daughters

Crackling and crackling, the bride made up in the mirror. I only heard the sound of firecrackers, but not the laughter of women.

Ask the woman what she thinks, and ask the woman what she remembers. Women think about childhood dreams, and women remember their childhood. I am going to get married this morning, and there are twenty tables of guests, and there is laughter at the table, and there are few people I know well.

Buy candy in the east market, buy new clothes in the west market, buy jewelry in the south market, and buy invitations in the north market. When I quit my parents, I stayed at my mother-in-law's house at dusk, and I didn't hear my parents calling my daughter, but I heard my in-laws' chatter. When he left his hometown and went to his husband's house at dusk, he didn't hear the voice of his parents calling his daughter, but he heard the sound of his in-laws.

Thousands of miles to him

Township, time flies. Give birth to a girl this year and a baby next year. Almost stillborn in bed, depressed for ten years.

When I returned home to see my mother, I dragged my son and took my daughter. When you get married, you will be a girl, and when you come, silver will happen. If you ask a woman what she wants, she has nothing to ask for, but wants to be a man in the next life.

When my father and mother heard that the girl was coming, her eyes were full of tears; When the nephew heard that his aunt was coming, he exclaimed that there were guests; When the younger brother heard that his sister was coming, he brought his wife to greet him. opened the door of the East Pavilion and sat on the bed when he was young, and his brother and daughter-in-law called for Sister and hurriedly got out of bed. When I went out to find my best friend, my eyes were full of tears: all of them were married, and no one answered.

When everyone was busy, Xu Shu ran to her mother's side and chatted while helping to pick up vegetables.

"Mom, if I had fled home nine years ago, would you have forced me to go back?"

Xu Shu's mother was stunned for a moment, and then nodded affirmatively.

"That's why I don't dare to run home!" Xu Shu sighed and said, "So, I can only let you worry and flee somewhere else." ”

"But where can you go?" Xu Shu's mother shook her white hair.

"Mom, I've begged, I've worked in the highway construction team...... it's all over, and Xu Shu doesn't hide it.

"Poor baby ......," Xu Shu's mother burst into tears.

"Compared with being forced back to my mother-in-law's house, these are not bitter! Don't you think I'm coming here now? Xu Shu pretended to be relaxed.

"We ...... In the past few years, the village has said everything! Xu Shuma is still a little aggrieved.

"I know......" Xu Shu nodded, "So, after all these years, I decided to come back to see you." ”

"Is Xu Qin okay now?" Xu Shu mentioned her best friend.

"They're all married...... How good could it be? It's the same bitterness, hey, her mother-in-law is even worse, her husband is lazy to die, she forced her to death after giving birth to her son, and said that such a daughter-in-law doesn't want it......" Xu Shu's mother was a little sad for Xu Qin, "When I think of her, I also think of you, so sometimes I comfort myself, it's good to escape, maybe I can live well." Alas, those little sisters of yours are all married, some are far away, some are close, and I think there are few who are better. ”

"Then ...... now" Xu Shu couldn't help but worry about Xu Qin.

"At the end of last year, her mother-in-law fell and died, and life got better."

"Ah, fell to death?"

"Yes, I heard that she put rotten things by the pig pen at the door of her house, and she wanted her daughter-in-law to fall, but usually her daughter-in-law feeds the pigs! Unexpectedly, a cat came over as soon as it was put away, she was startled, and stepped on the rotten thing she put without paying attention...... "Speaking of this, Xu Shu's mother felt very happy.

"This is called harming others and hurting themselves, and they really deserve it." Xu Shu looked into the distance and remembered her mother-in-law, "Yes, my mother-in-law is also patriarchal, she also died shortly after I escaped, it is said that I saw my new daughter-in-law give birth to a granddaughter, and I was angry for a while, so I died of a cerebral hemorrhage......"

"That's right...... I knew that you would also give birth to a daughter...... "I didn't expect Xu Shu's mother to also learn to tease."

"No, I already have a son, and if I have another daughter, I will have both children and daughters, she won't be angry, she is angry that I took away my grandson, I want to do it urgently

I want my new daughter-in-law to have a son to fill the vacancy of her grandson. Xu Shu smiled.

The evening was lively, and everyone at the dinner table was talking and laughing, trying not to mention Xu Shu's experience of escaping, just talking about the changes in the village now.

Whoever is building a new house, who is marrying a daughter-in-law, who is marrying a daughter-in-law, who is having a daughter-in-law, who is having a baby...... The biggest change is, of course, the road in the village, the road is open, although you can only drive trucks, there is still a road.

"Our new house is under construction, and we will be able to live in it next year...... I'll take you to see the new house tomorrow. "Xu Shu's father is most happy about building a new house.

"We don't go, we like the old house, it's warm here, let's let them go young, everyone doesn't live together and be free." Xu Shu's mother thought of her daughter's dissatisfaction, especially for her daughter-in-law's sake, she didn't want to interfere in their lives.

Xu Shu thinks that her mother's approach is very good, so it is better to give everyone more freedom.

When the people in the village heard that Xu Shu had brought the whole family back to her parents' house, they all came to see her, of course, many of them were out of curiosity...... But so what? Anyway, now I don't have to go back to my ex-husband's house, I have my own home, it doesn't matter.

In the evening, Xu Shu's family stayed in a guest room...... I didn't expect to come back and be a guest......

It seems that Liu Hao is right, it's better to skip the New Year at his mother's house, stay for two days and go back.
