Chapter 35 Returning to the Homeland and Finding Relatives

When the eleventh long holiday came, He Shifeng and Liu Yemei drove towards Liu Yemei's hometown...... Liu Yemei wants to find her child, a child who has been separated for almost two years......

The sky in early autumn, white clouds, autumn is high and refreshing, and the warmth is mixed with the smell of flowers...... They have already driven into the city of Liu Yemei's hometown, and in another half an hour, they will enter Liu Yemei's hometown, Yong'an Ping.

Yong'an Ping is located on the plateau, surrounded by mountains, rich in water and grass, four or five hundred kilometers away from He Shifeng's current residence......

In the season of yellow leaves, the yellow leaves are fluttering in the wind, and the lonely countryside is yellow, which makes people feel cold, making Liu Yemei's heart a little cold, and looking at her hometown through the window after two years of separation is really a bit unaccustomed...... She was in a cold mood and cold inside......

"Shifeng—let's go to my house first!"

"Okay—where are we going?"

"Forward left!"

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the courtyard of an ordinary village...... The surrounding pedestrians looked at Liu Yemei with envy and strange eyes, Liu Yemei, who was sexy and gorgeous, and looked at He Shifeng beside him......

Liu Yemei pushed open the door of her home that had been separated for two years - the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the dust was covered with layers of dust in the wind...... He Shifeng looked at such a humble house.

"Ye Mei - this is your home?" The gaze is scattered.

"Well—this is the home that raised me for twenty years!" I couldn't help but let the tears slip down, flowing down my neck and into my cold heart.

He Shifeng went from a bustling city to a cold and depressed village, and there was an indescribable pain in his heart, especially when he saw Liu Yemei's depressed and cold home, he couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart......

"Don't cry – let's go! We're getting down to business! He Shifeng's eyes were moist, and he helped the sad Liu Yemei out of the house and gently closed the courtyard door.

"Well—let's go! I'm going to grave my parents! Look at the parents, by the way, burn some money for them......! Liu Yemei wiped her sad tears and looked at He Shifeng, who knew her, He Shifeng, and He Shifeng, who was deeply affectionate......

"Alright! Filial piety comes first! I'll go with you to ......! ”

He Shifeng drove in the direction pointed by Liu Yemei, and walked down the narrow village to the grave of Liu Yemei's parents...... Passing by the village store department, I bought offerings and burned paper......

He Shifeng followed Liu Yemei on the country road, the car could no longer move forward, he watched Liu Yemei's stumbling steps and stepped forward to help him.

"It's here, right? Is it still far away? ”

"It's coming, look there!" He Shifeng looked in the direction pointed by Liu Yemei, and there was a grave pile under a crooked-necked elm tree that was a little larger than a few graves next to it...... The leaves of the crooked-necked elm have turned yellow and are falling with the wind...... Depressed, desolate.

They staggered along the country road, through the ridges of the fields, to the crooked-necked elm tree, and the fallen leaves fluttered in the wind.

Liu Yemei knelt in front of her parents' joint grave and kowtowed repeatedly: "Dad...... mother

．．．．．． Daughter, see you are coming...... Mother...... Father......! "Tears of grief slipped down...... He Shifeng looked at the sad Liu Yemei and knelt beside him with moist eyes...... Silent...... Liu Yemei got up and silently offered sacrifices in front of the grave...... He Shifeng helped...... Silent...... Endless silence...... Liu Yemei took out the paper money and let He Shifeng light it, knelt in front of the grave and burned the paper money silently, tears, tears of sorrow slipped down, flowed through her white and cold neck, and flowed into her sad heart...... The past came to mind: "Dad...... Mother...... Daughter, see you are coming...... I'm here to send you money...... Daughter is not filial......! Liu Yemei kowtowed repeatedly: "Dad...... Mother...... Why have you left me, and left me alone, and left me alone to make me suffer...... Leave me alone in this tiring world, are you all right...... All right! Liu Yemei couldn't cry, mourning, tears, tears of sorrow, tears of pain, tears of losing her parents, the most tragic tears in the world flowed into her painful heart, sad heart, cold heart, and extremely grief-stricken heart...... She cried like a tearful man......

He Shifeng's eyes were moist: "Ye Mei...... Don't cry...... Mourn ......! Liu Yemei knelt down and grabbed a handful of loess on the grave: "Dad...... Mother...... Father...... Mother...... The daughter is not filial...... Forgive your daughter! Liu Yemei lay on the grave and cried continuously...... In an instant, a cold autumn wind swept through the originally calm fields, and the dust was flying...... The wanton cold wind blew off most of the yellow leaves on the crooked neck elm tree, and the yellow leaves drifted around with the wanton cold wind, dancing, He Shifeng stepped forward and pulled up the sad Liu Yemei: "Festival mourning...... Ye Mei...... Mourning...... The wind is blowing...... Please mourn...... Don't cry...... There is no resurrection from death...... Don't hurt yourself! ”

Liu Yemei looked at He Shifeng, who was very affectionate, wiped away her tears and silently took three steps back, knelt in front of the grave, and kowtowed three times in a row: Dad...... Mother...... I'll see you again when I'm free! Liu Yemei got up; He Shifeng also knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times...... Liu Yemei looked at He Shifeng's movements and made her laugh: "Hey...... Shifeng ...... You...... What are you kowtowing...... It's not your father or mother'......! The smile in Liu Yemei's eyes was even more charming.

"Filial piety comes first, this is called respecting the ...... elderly!" He Shifeng smiled, got up and pulled Liu Yemei to the parking path...... The wanton wind, the cold wind, was still roaring wildly...... Yellow leaves flutter in the withered yellow countryside, and the hazy sky is filled...... It is difficult to distinguish between east and west, north and south......

He Shifeng drove all the way up and down, bumpy and on the country road.

"Hey-Ye Mei-is this Yong'an Ping in Yong'an County?"

"Uh-what's wrong?"

"When I was in college, I had a classmate in this county - Yong'an County, what kind of village, I forgot, what is his name Jin? That's right, Jin Zuozheng, that kid dropped out of school in the New Year, because of his difficult family background, he is a good person, honest and simple, why don't we ask him ...... first? ”

"Let's go—I know where the child is, and that day I secretly watched the child let a young woman carry him into the courtyard gate!"

"Really? You've got a little bit ......! ”

"I also kept some eyes on it, after all, it was a piece of meat that fell off my body! Can you not feel distressed? I don't look at it, if you let some wild dogs and wild wolves take them away, they won't die! Liu Yemei smiled charmingly.

"It's also ——!" He Shifeng nodded.

"Shifeng—look—there—that's Maerzhuang Village——!" He Shifeng looked at some villages not far away, and the smoke was rising, adding vitality to the villages in autumn......

He Shifeng stopped the car in front of a separate hospital gate according to Liu Yemei's pointing, Liu Yemei had a trace of timidity, a trace of nervousness, and complicated thoughts in her heart, what is the child's condition? Is the child dead or alive now? What if they don't return the child? She sat quietly for a while, but still mustered up the greatest confidence and courage to beckon He Shifeng to get out of the car and knock on the door of this courtyard...... The dog's voice began to spill nervously: "Wang...... Woof...... Wangwang...... Woof...... Woof......! ”

With the sound of "squeak" opening the door, a young man came out, rustic, with stubble on his face, and a strong nostalgia in his gentle eyes: "You-who are you looking for?" Jin Zuozheng looked at the flowery, gorgeous and charming Liu Yemei, and then looked at He Shifeng beside him, his eyes suddenly lit up, with a pure smile, rubbing the inch hair on his head with one hand, looking at He Shifeng stunned: "That-you-He ——? He Shifeng pointed at He Shifeng in front of him, his eyes were surprised.

"Y-you're Kim Zuo-jeong, right?" He Shifeng smiled and said casually.

"Yes-yes-I am-you are-he-he——?"

"Don't-what-what! I'm He Shifeng! He Shifeng added.

"Oh - old classmate - I haven't seen you for many years to make a fortune!" Jin Zuozheng stepped forward to hold He Shifeng's hand and said cordially.

"I haven't seen you for years, how are you?"

"It's okay—it's okay!"

"How-Shifeng-you know?" Liu Yemei watched them shake hands cordially, looked at He Shifeng charmingly and asked.

"Yes, didn't I tell you? I have a college classmate in Yongan County, I didn't expect such a coincidence! ”

"This is your lover, right?" Jin Zuo was looking at Liu Yemei, who was blooming with flowers. Suddenly, Liu Yemei's face turned crimson and looked embarrassed.

"It's-uh-huh——!" He Shifeng smiled.

"Walk—go to the house, sit—go into the house, and talk——!" Jin Zuozheng took He Shifeng's hand and beckoned: "Splash - wife - is a guest——! Jin Zuozheng has already shouted his lover in a thick country accent.

Liu Yemei followed the two of them inside, He Shifeng looked at the courtyard where chickens flew and dogs jumped, and the courtyard where pigs and sheep crowed was still quite warm, at least full of vitality......

"You kid, it's really good - I was so poor that I couldn't even eat, and I borrowed you two hundred yuan! I haven't paid it back until now, and you still have the heart to come to me and see me, it won't be because you owe you the two hundred yuan, right? Jin Zuozheng jokingly accosted He Shifeng.

"Nonsense—am I that kind of person?" He Shifeng smiled and glared at Jin Zuozheng.

"Oh, it's coming!" Xu Shuihua greeted He Shifeng and Liu Yemei, who were full of smiles.

"My wife-Xu Shuihua!" Jin Zuozheng introduced He Shifeng and Xu Shuihua one by one.

"Let's go - go to the house and sit ——!" Xu Shuihua's kind and gentle eyes met Liu Yemei's gaze, smiled, and pulled Liu Yemei towards the house...... Liu Yemei looked at the simple, young, and gentle Xu Shuihua, although he was coarse in green clothes, he could see his slender and graceful young woman's posture from his eyes and neck......

He Shifeng and Liu Yemei entered the house under the greeting of Jin Zuozheng and his wife, Xu Shuihua was busy making tea, and two lively little boys surrounded He Shifeng and Liu Yemei: "Hello uncle - aunt - uncle - aunt——! ”

"Go-go-go and play outside!" Xu Shuihua pulled the two children.

"Kid, don't-come, Auntie will give you candy ——!" Liu Yemei took out the "Green Arrow" brand chewing gum from her bag and gave it to the two little boys.

"Thank you Auntie - thank you Auntie ——!"

"Come - let Auntie hug ——!" Liu Yemei said and hugged the smaller boy in her arms.

"Come down - don't get Auntie's clothes dirty!" Jin Zuozheng looked at the amiable Liu Yemei with a smile.

"It's okay—kid!" Liu Yemei smiled charmingly.

"Come - Tea ——!" Xu Shuihua gently handed the teacup to Liu Yemei and He Shifeng, and took the child in Liu Yemei's arms with a smile by the way, holding the older boy with one hand.

Let's go - go outside with Mom! Xu Shuihua turned around and said, "You guys are chatting - I'm going to cook——! The simple smile, the gentle smile, the sincere smile, the kind smile rippled in the warm farmhouse courtyard...... Liu Yemei felt that a mother's smile was so kind and simple, and she felt guilty.

Xu Shuihua saw that he was an important guest in the distance of Jinzuo, killed a home-raised chicken, where to buy meat to cook at dusk, and stir-fried in a pot with three times and five divided by two...... Half an hour later, a sumptuous dinner is served...... The smoke of the cooking muffled the darkness of the evening, and the twilight opened the night of the countryside......

He Shifeng and Liu Yemei are going to spend the night at Jin Zuozheng's house, He Shifeng and Jin Zuozheng talk about their classmates, and ask about the children carefully...... After dinner...... He Shifeng started talking.

"Be right—I'm here for a matter this time!"

"What's the matter?" He was stunned.

"Let's find a kid ——!"

"What? Child? ”

"Uh-huh, it's a boy——!"

"It's your ——?"

"No ——!"

"It's mine, my child!" Liu Yemei replied hurriedly.

"You-you're Liu Yemei?" Kim Zuozheng burst into tears of emotion.

"Uh-huh, I'm ——!"

"The child - still - alas! - But it makes me miserable, he has been sick since he was a child! Jin Zuozheng choked up.

"The child is dead - we are all over the money!" Xu Shuihua stepped forward and said bitterly.

"What? Passed away? Liu Yemei's eyes were scattered and grief-stricken.

"Well-passed away-I went to Beijing to have surgery for the child, stayed there for a month, spent fifty or sixty thousand, the hospital said that the funds were insufficient, and the child was dragged to the brink of death, fuck it, the hospital is also for money! What a life-saving ......! Kim Seok-jeong cried angrily and shed tears of grief......

"Give—look—this is a relic left by the child!" Xu Shuihua took out the "longevity lock" and the note and handed it to Liu Yemei, tears sliding down...... Falling like rain......

"Yes - it's him - it's my child——!" Liu Yemei watched the note she had written by herself, with tears on her face sliding down like rain...... She fainted...... She fainted from crying......

The sudden grief, the sudden grief made Liu Yemei speechless. Money, everything is for money, in the end it is still sad, God arranged her sad fate like this......

Xu Shuihua slept in the same room with her two children and Liu Yemei, and chatted lightly, Xu Shuihua was busy with housework and the drag of her two children and fell asleep early...... It is said that Jin Zuozheng and Xu Shuihua are also the adoptive parents of the child, Liu Yemei is so grateful that she can't sleep, how can she repay Jin Zuozheng and Xu Shuihua. She thought about it, money was of no great use to him, and she wanted to compensate Jin Zuozheng and his wife with 100,000 yuan, she smiled...... Smiled reassuringly......

He Shifeng and Jin Zuozheng slept in the same room, they talked all night, Jin Zuozheng understood everything about Liu Yemei, and also knew the relationship between He Shifeng and Liu Yemei, and also knew why Liu Yemei embarked on a road of no return, one wrong step, and it was difficult to look back...... He remembered all Xu Meihua's actions in Beijing, he didn't want Xu Meihua to be like Liu Yemei to embark on this road of no return, he used a true love to care, a true love to save his dearest people, the people he loved the most......
