When the car arrived at my door, it was time to prepare for dinner, and my dad was sitting in the doorway smoking a cigarette, looking like he had just come back from outside, and his shoes were all covered with mud.

He looked at us a little uneasily when he saw our car stop. After that, he quickly stood up and shouted into the house, "You Xuan is back!" Youxuan is back! ”

My mom came out of the house, still wearing an apron, and she didn't have a good face when she saw me.

Zong Sheng got out of the car with the vegetables and shouted, "Auntie, I'll do it." ”

As soon as Zong Sheng said this, my mother quickly changed her attitude: "No, no, I'll come." I'm back, I'm back, why do I still buy so many vegetables. As soon as you leave, even the two of us will not be able to eat so much. ”

I'm not a taste, why did my mother change her attitude when she saw Zong Sheng's whole person? If you can be cold to me, you won't be able to treat Zong Sheng.

Although I didn't deliberately say anything about that day. I really didn't say it deliberately, and my mother didn't want to say what happened that day. She has been wronged, her character is like this, being wronged is a shame, and it is better not to mention the shameful things. We didn't say either. If my parents asked what was going on, we wouldn't be able to explain it to them.

On Zong Sheng's side, Zong Sheng kept saying that he wanted Lingling Mansion, but he didn't seem to have mentioned to his grandparents why he had to do it. It's also his grandparents who spoil him, otherwise how could he be so dependent on him, and there is no reason?

This meal was still cooked by my mother, everyone ate well, saying that I was not in that hotel for my internship and was going to go to the sales department of Zongsheng and their house.

My mom was very much in favor of it, and she didn't like the Hotel Schaan at all.

After eating, it was also past seven o'clock, and it was dark time. My mom asked my mom if she was staying at home or going back to the city. I hesitated, looked at Zong Sheng, and Zong Sheng said, "Let's go back, we have to go to work tomorrow." ”

"That's okay, Youxuan, go see what you want to take, and bring a few thick clothes when it's cold."

I went back to my room to pack my clothes. In fact, there is such a custom in our rural areas, when the woman is not married, the woman goes to the man's house, and if she has the same room, the family will not have much opinion. But if it was in the woman's house, it would never be possible to live in one room. Even if you are married, you can't sleep in the same bed when you go back to your parents' house. Unless the son-in-law comes to the door. It's not the kind that gets married. I heard the old man say that it was related to what the family had to do with the fetal god. Everyone is so particular. My mom asked me this suddenly, and I didn't even know how to answer.

Zong Sheng followed me into my room, and I stood in the room with only this small dim light bulb, and said to him: "My house is not as good as yours, I guess you are not used to seeing such a room." ”

Zong Sheng's room, whether it was a house in the city or the big room prepared for him in their old home, was not inferior at all. And my current room is several notches worse than his.

He sat on my old wooden bed and watched me pack my clothes. When I went out to live in junior high school, I rarely went home to sleep. When I was in junior high school, I came back during the winter and summer vacations, and I usually didn't go back on weekends. I took two days off for a month in high school, and I was even more reluctant to come back. Go to college, unless it's a big year. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back. I was just hiding from this village, and every time I came back, someone would mention Zongsheng to me, and I thought it was a terrible thing at that time. And as soon as I get home, Grandma Zongsheng will definitely come to see me. This wooden bed is still the same wooden bed I slept on with my nurse when I was in elementary school.

Zong Sheng looked at me. "No, when I was out there before, I lived in a house in worse conditions than here. It is the shed of the construction site, a folding spring bed, in winter, the cold wind will pour into it, and the quilt must be pulled, or it will be cold until dawn. ”

"Then you didn't think about coming back?" I asked, "Your house is in such good condition." ”

He was silent for a while, and I put some of my good old clothes in a bag. Before my internship, I moved everything back from my dorm. I thought that after the internship, I would be able to stay and work at the Shane Hotel. I didn't expect that much to happen.

I zipped up my bag and looked up at him, and he sat on the bed looking at me as well.

"Huh?"

"What are you doing back? When you come back, you'll be treated like a monster. Even if I come back now and grow so big, they don't treat me like a monster. It's better to be outside, change places every six months and a year, and no one knows my secrets. Even if I almost lived, even if I was woken up in the middle of the night, at least no one there treated me like a monster. ”

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

"What's there to be sorry for? At that time, Lao Bei also took good care of me. He'd let me sleep inside, and he would sleep outside, because then he would be able to use his body to keep me out a little bit of the wind. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone went viral. I was sad about what he said, when I heard him say into my phone, "Grandma." ”

The room was quiet, the kind of rural quiet, so I could hear even the sound on his phone. Grandma Zongsheng's voice came from the phone: "Zongsheng, are you back?" At Zong Youxuan's house? ”

"Yes. But I'm ready to go back to the city. "When we returned, many people saw the car and recognized us, so it is not surprising that this matter will be reported to Grandma Zongsheng.

"You go home, right now, come back quickly."

"Grandma, I know what I'm doing in the company, they told you, I don't want to quarrel with you now. There is always a reason for what I do. ”

"If you are asked to come back, you will come back, just to eat, do you need to talk so much? Grandparents have worked hard for half their lives, and it's not for you alone. Spend as much as you want, as long as grandma can afford it, you can spend it. I'd like to see who dares to gossip. I will spend the money on my grandson, what do they dare to do? Grandma's shouting voice is probably not just for Zong Sheng, there may be someone else beside her.

Grandma continued: "Your grandfather Lao Bei is having dinner at our house, come back quickly!" ”

Zong Sheng's face sank. This surprised me too, and I immediately thought of the night before in that secret room, Lao Bei calmly faced the corpse of the child he had padded to his chest with a peach wood nail. and what he said to Zong Sheng crying, of course, he also remembered the picture of Shen Jien sitting up from the blood tank. In addition, this is a rural area, and there is always a cold feeling in the air, that is, a feeling of lack of popularity. I shuddered with fear.

Zong Sheng hurriedly hung up the phone: "I'll go over for a while." ”

I quickly grabbed my bag and followed him out. My mother saw that we were in such a hurry to leave, and wanted to say something, but I told my mother that Grandma Zongsheng had called and asked us to go over immediately, and my mother hurriedly said, "Then go quickly, go quickly." "The last time Grandma Zong Sheng went to make trouble, my mother probably figured it out for you, this is helping her. After all, my mother is alone, surrounded by a group of strangers, and is not allowed to leave, in this case, an acquaintance appeared, and she was still tied to talk, and Grandma Zongsheng was still so powerful, that was a great sense of security for my mother.

The car went to Zong Sheng's house, and sure enough, the house was brightly lit. You can also hear the sound of people drinking inside.

Zong Sheng and I got out of the car, and when we walked into the yard, the older leftover girl aunt shouted, "Yo, it's back." Really, there was a woman who didn't even know where her door was open. Zong Sheng, it's not bad if you go to be a son-in-law. It just broke your grandparents' hearts. ”

Zong Sheng didn't even look at her, so he walked inside, and I hurriedly followed him. But the aunt grabbed me suddenly: "Zong Youxuan, what's wrong with him?" Looking angry, it was repaired by your dad at your house? Haha, I know, who would accept a monster like him. ”

"Auntie, don't talk nonsense. Beware that he turns into a monster and pulls out your tongue. ”

"Humph! When Zong Sheng comes back, you dare to be in our house! I used to hide when I saw me. Really hypocritical! ”

I was in a hurry to go in to see the situation, so I didn't answer, she choked on whatever this kind of person said. Isn't it just for that money? Just don't get married.

Zong Sheng stood at the door of the living room, looking at the scene in the living room. A large table full of dishes. Sitting at the table were Grandpa Zongsheng, grandmother, and uncles and uncles at home, all of whom were of a bit of seniority. Lao Bei was dressed in very simple clothes and sat on the main seat facing the door, which showed that his status among these people was relatively high and respected.

When he saw Zong Sheng, he smiled: "I'm back." Have you eaten? Come over and eat some more. It was a very kind smile, completely different from the way it looked at the corpse that night.

There is no way to suppress the anger on Zong Sheng's face, not to mention him, I think it's very strange, since he has already torn his face, how can he eat here so calmly?

Zong Sheng said coldly: "What are you doing here?" ”

Grandma Zong Sheng hurriedly shouted: "Zong Sheng, how do you speak!" Lao Bei is your grandfather, can't you come to dinner? ”

Lao Bei beckoned to Grandma Zongsheng: "It's okay, it's okay, this kid is just angry with me, when I came back before, I asked him to come back by himself, I went with people and didn't take him with me." This also broke the leg. Zong Sheng, grandpa has a broken leg, can you keep it here for a few days? ”

Shen Jien can act, and this Lao Bei can also act. He wanted to put pressure on Zong Sheng through Zong Sheng's grandparents. Even if Zong Sheng said again and again that he hated this village and this family, he hoped that his grandmother would let him die in a coffin. But he still came back, came back to live in the house arranged for him by his grandparents, and also came back to his hometown and offered incense in the ancestral hall. He still wants this family. At least in this family, there are his grandparents.
