At this time, Bai Xue pushed the door and came in, she had just rushed back from school, and she had to take the exam, and she had to go back immediately, she said a few words to her sister-in-law and left in a hurry. Seriously, he doesn't have a good impression of his new sister-in-law, she is disgusted by her sister-in-law's posture of washing her face and washing her hair.

Pengxiang received a telegram from home, saying that his brother was married, could he take a few days off and come back. He looked at the telegram and wondered in his heart, he received a letter from his brother last month and said that he had to disperse, he replied to support his brother, why did he get married? Nothing will happen, he is really not at ease, he called his father's unit to ask his father, but his father did not go to work. He took out his brother's letter and looked at it, in the letter, his brother told him about his father and mother forcing him to get married, and asked him to write a letter to persuade his father, and your father and mother may listen, because you are now the pride of your father, and your father and mother hold you very high, no matter where you go, no matter who he is, he will show off you to others, especially his father, the proud hat is almost impossible to wear......

Looking at his brother's letter, Pengxiang felt very uncomfortable, didn't his father and mother receive his letter? What is this for, what age is it still forced to get married, how can people who usually understand it be confused when it comes to things, my brother has a small heart, what if something happens again......

He decided to go home, said to leave, went to the department to ask for a week's leave, regardless of whether it was approved or not, went out to buy some specialties and hurriedly set foot on the way home.

After a night's journey, he stepped into the house tired.

Chunmei was lying on the kang, and when she saw her son coming back, she got busy and asked her son what time he got off the car, but your father said that he would pick you up? Looking at my mother's bloodshot eyes, the deep crow's feet, and her emaciated face, it seems that my mother has aged a lot all of a sudden. Peng Cheng was speechless for a while, and he didn't even call his mother, he wanted to ask his mother's words, but he couldn't say a word. It took him a moment before he asked, "What about them?" ”

"Your brother went to work, don't let him go, he has to go, your sister-in-law went back to her parents' house, Bai Xue went to school," Chunmei said to her son with a smile, and carefully looked at her son, a few months, her son was white, it seemed to be much higher than at home, she was very happy, she thought to herself, I am this son, said that my daughter-in-law doesn't need me to worry about it, the eldest son's marriage, she is simply stunned, she has fought several battles within a few days of marriage, a set of water cups has fallen, and the glass on the Dali kitchen has also been smashed, Xiaojun cried and went back to her parents' house, and secretly called her today, was ridiculed by his in-laws, and his daughter-in-law didn't call, so he had to let his son go in person......

Alas, it would have been better not to get married if I had known this.

Pengxiang looked at everything in the house, there was always a sense of intimacy, the home he missed day and night finally came back, and he went to his brother's new house to see, there was a big hole in the glass on the new big kitchen, which was obviously smashed. Don't ask anything. It's useless to complain, you have to face the reality, this is just the beginning, the suffering is still to come, poor brother, honest father, how can you do foolish things?

At noon, no one came back, Chunmei brought out a plate of small vinegar fish specially left for his son, this is Pengxiang's favorite food, but he can't eat any future, he didn't eat much, his eyes fight, he drove all night, he was very sleepy.

Chunmei looked at her sleeping son, happy and worried. Happily, the son is too much for the family, who is not envious; is worried about the marriage of the eldest son, if there is a regret medicine sold in the world, he will buy anything, no matter how much it costs. He also regretted not listening to his second son's words, his son's letter was very clear, but his father was so angry that he tore it up and scolded his son for not knowing the height of the sky, what does the child's family know? I don't recognize myself for a few days. Facts have proved that the second son is right, and it has been fulfilled, that is, he is knowledgeable, and he has already seen through it. Alas! The son is not married because of a heart disease, but when he is married, it is a bigger heart disease.

Chunmei thought and couldn't help but wipe her eyes. It's only been three days since the wedding, and the relatives can't kiss her, they are good, the wedding night is cold, and the war is ruthless, she saw from the crack in the door, Xiaojun hit her son's head with a stick, and the son grabbed his daughter-in-law's hair and kicked her to the ground.

Thinking about it, he hated his husband, and before getting married, his son expressed his unwillingness to live or die, saying that he would drag it out, but he didn't listen, and forced him to get married. Now you have the ability to manage it, ask people everywhere, buy a doll certificate for 1,000 yuan, and your son is torn to shreds in front of him, what about your ability, you can make it, you know that you are angry at me, and you don't want to let people speak, if you don't want to, you don't want to, I think I'm willing to buy him a color TV, if I didn't protect it that night, the color TV was also smashed by them. What's the matter, knowing that his son's hukou is out, he is still in a hurry to marry him, he is really evil, and he still doesn't dare to tell his son that his hukou is out.

Alas! At last she sighed again, and said that it was too late, and that she hoped that they would get better as the days went by, as she had only thought.

Pengxiang opened his eyes, and Zhihao was already waiting for him. The fire in the stove was blazing, and the house was warm. The shy shadow of the sun flashed on the window lattice, and on the pomegranate tree, the birds were chirping, cocking their tails, and turning their necks.

When I woke up, I felt refreshed, and I got up to say hello to Zhihao. "You can really sleep," Zhihao said with a smile.

"Zhihao has been waiting for you all afternoon, I want to wake you up, but he won't let you," the mother also said with a smile.

Peng Xiang looked at Zhi Hao with a smile, if it was before, the two of them would have been hugging each other and rolling on the kang to frolic, but today, the two of them didn't even hold their hands, just smiled and looked at it, Zhi Hao still showed embarrassment, not pulling at the placket. Yes, they have all grown up, and they are no longer children who don't care about anything, and the way they express their feelings has changed. I had to smile and look at Peng Xiang and say to Chun: "Niangniang, see if Xiangzi has changed, every word and smile, every move is the appearance of a college student." ”

Chunmei smiled knowingly, this kind of laughter has not been seen for a long time, it is a kind of enjoyment that has been forgotten. Peng Xiang lightly punched Zhihao's shoulder, and this affectionate act immediately made the two unrestrained.

Zhihao also took off Pengxiang's school emblem and pinned it to his chest, puffed up his chest and walked back and forth and asked, "Niangniang, don't I look like a college student." ”

His funny appearance made Chunmei laugh for a while, "Elephant, how is it not like it, if you don't get out of school, you will definitely be able to be admitted to university in a few years." ”

"Alas! Mother, it's useless to go on, we are not reading materials at all, and when I pick up a textbook, my head will swell, it is not as easy and free as I repair the earth. ”

Chunmei laughed again. I felt relieved.

Pengxiang washed his face, Zhihao whispered a few words to him, and the two of them were about to go out.

Chunmei instructed, "Play for a while, come back early, make buns tonight, and Zhihao will also come to eat together." ”

Zhihao responded, pulled Pengxiang and left.

Originally, it was good to go to Fugui's house to see, but Pengxiang said to go and see Wang Jie first. Zhihao understood him, so the two stopped laughing and walked silently towards the grove outside the village.

Passing by the cemetery, Peng Xiang first kowtowed to his grandmother three times, stood silently for a while, the past floated in front of him, and his grandmother's kind face appeared again, he sighed, people, why should life and death part, why can't you be with the sun and the moon? Life, why is it so difficult to grow old?

On Wang Jie's grave, the two of them were silent for a while, gently pulling out the dry grass on the grave, gently, for fear of waking up his dream, tears involuntarily, looking up at the sky, twitching their noses vigorously, not letting the tears fall. The crooked-necked locust tree is still there, on the top of the tree, I don't know when, the magpie has built a nest on it, and one magpie stands on the top of the tree 'chirping', attracting another magpie to fly from a distance and land on the same branch affectionately together.

Wang Jie will not be lonely with them by his side, he hopes that the magpie will cry lightly, so as not to wake up the sleeping Wang Jie. When he lowered his head, the tears still fell, he no longer hid it, and Zhihao's persuasion was useless. Will the hard-working Wang Jie also suffer and be bullied in another world, thinking of Silly Hai and the Iron Kidnapper, he is worried about Wang Jie, which he has never been at ease. He thought of the sparrow that fell to the ground and died, the pure she even the bird martyrdom, and himself, not as good as a bird, that love, in his mind faded, if not home, almost can't remember, he looked down on himself, from the book to see, the love of the swan is unswerving, if the two swans are married, they will stay together for life, if one unfortunately dies, the other will accompany her day and night, not eating or drinking, wailing, until death. What a great, loyal love! Man, can you do this, poor man, sometimes even beasts. Wang Jie, hate me, for a while, I have forgotten you, what face do I have to see you? Thinking about it, his face was already full of tears, which made Zhihao wipe his eyes from time to time......

On the way home, they had a meeting with Cheng Letian. I haven't seen him for a few months, Cheng Letian looks much older, his face is full of beard stubble, his face is yellow, his charming eyes have lost their former brilliance, crow's feet are crawling all over the corners of his eyes, Pengxiang is looking at him, Cheng Letian talked to him, "You, are you back?" "He spoke a little awkwardly and laughed unnaturally.

Pengxiang was busy responding, but Zhihao pulled him away in a hurry. Cheng Letian looked back at them, tightened his burden, and hurried away.

"Don't pay attention to him, this dog thing that thousands of people scold and spit on," Zhihao turned around and scolded hatefully.

"How did he become like this?" Peng Xiang seemed to ask Zhihao, and it seemed to be talking to himself, this enlightenment teacher who had taught him, beaten him, and harmed him.

Listening to Zhihao's scolding, "It's good to be dead, go to this harm, believe it or not, if he dies, the whole village will clap happily." ”

Peng Xiang smiled bitterly, "You and Xiaozhi ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhihao interrupted him, "Don't mention it, it's early to disperse, that traitor, I don't want it," he said, he was full of pain, urging Pengxiang to leave quickly, and said relaxedly: "A few days ago, Xiaozhi went to work as a waiter in a restaurant, and was arrested because of that incident, I heard that several were arrested, and even the owner of the hotel was arrested, one pot." ”

"Really?" Pengxiang was taken aback.

Zhihao nodded and said, "I'm still locked up now, just now Cheng Letian was sending clothes to Xiaozhi." ”

Looking back at Cheng Letian's distant back, Peng Xiang felt sad in his heart, a flower withered prematurely, how to live in the future, the black shadow will shroud a lifetime, and the instantaneous evil obstacle will be taken into a lifetime.

"Xiaozhi has something to do with me coming this far, I said I didn't expect her to do such a thing," Zhihao blamed himself, his face full of pain and guilt.

"It's all over, don't say it, there are some things that people can't predict, I hope Xiaozhi can wake up, come out of the pain, don't give up on herself, be self-reliant, and find her own place in life." Pengxiang said with a sigh.

Zhihao nodded with deep understanding.
