42 And he shall be considered to be a widow
ยทยท
Because he was thinking about going home, Xie Mingzhu didn't sleep well for the past two nights.
I woke up early the next day.
After the formalities for returning to the city were completed, the next step was to get the relationship between the household registration and the grain and send it back to my father directly.
All the formalities were complete, so this time it was done quickly, and there was no more deliberate difficulty.
I went to the post office non-stop, hung up the registered mail, and sent my father back the household registration and food relations.
Seeing that the letter arrived in the mailbox, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, the two met Chen Zhishu.
"Have you done all the formalities?"
Chen Zhishu showed a kind smile and asked with a concerned expression.
Xie Mingzhu also responded kindly: "It's all done." โ
After a pause, he continued, "In the past few years, thanks to your care, if you have the opportunity to come to Shencheng in the future, please come and sit at home." โ
It is said that the follow-up Chen Zhishu will also write comments and send them back to Shencheng, and the comments will be kept on the file, and if you write a bad comment, it will be left on the file for a lifetime.
So Xie Mingzhu is also polite if he can.
Huo Xuan handed over a cigarette.
Chen Zhishu took the cigarette with a smile and said with a smile: "You are a good comrade, and you have suffered a lot of grievances in the past, and when you go back in the future, you will work hard!" โ
Xie Mingzhu nodded lightly, indicating that he knew.
"Before you go, come back to me and give you a letter of introduction."
On the way back to the city, you have to make a transfer, and you can save yourself from trouble by bringing your certificate.
Xie Mingzhu admitted his affection and expressed his gratitude for his illness.
When I returned to the dormitory, I looked at the house where I had lived for three years, and I felt a sigh of emotion in my heart.
However, I was finally able to get out of here.
Looking at the large cabinets, sewing machines and other furniture in the dormitory, Xie Mingzhu began to worry again.
They can't bring these things back at all, the train station has a consignment service, but if you want to consign, you have to transport the things to the train station first.
The county railway station has to be forty or fifty miles away from here, and it is not easy to transport it there.
Huo Xuan turned his head to look at her, saw her staring intently at the things in the room, and asked out loud, "What do you think?" โ
"These things are so big that we simply can't get them away."
If you want to say it's old, forget it, but these are all new, and they were bought new for her to get married, so it's reluctant to let her leave it here or give it away.
Huo Xuan's eyes turned around the room, and then he said softly: "You pack up these things first, see what you want to take away but can't take away, and then I'll see if I can find a big car to come over." โ
Xie Mingzhu nodded lightly.
When I cleaned up the room, I realized that I wanted to take most of my belongings with me.
Huo Xuan looked around the room and nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.
Then, he got on his bike and went out.
When he came back, he said that a big car would come over tomorrow, and he would send things to Shencheng directly.
Xie Mingzhu listened to his words, looked him up and down, and then asked softly, "Where did you find the big car?" โ
Huo Xuan looked at her and responded with a smile: "If you have a car, what do you care so much?" โ
As he spoke, without waiting for Xie Mingzhu to ask anything more, he asked again: "Don't you want these mattresses?" โ
Xie Mingzhu nodded lightly.
Some of the mattresses have been sleeping for a long time, and the cotton has become fluffy, so Xie Mingzhu is not ready to take it back.
When the time comes, give it to the people in the village, and they can also go to process it again, or a new quilt.
There are also some clothes that look better, and they are ready to be sent directly.
As for the clothes worn by work, some of them were already a little torn, so they naturally threw them away.
After packing her things, she took her things and prepared to go to the village.
Huo Xuan saw that she had taken a lot of things, so he asked her to put them on the back seat of the bicycle and pushed them to the village.
When she came to the door of a house, she went up and knocked on the door.
Huo Xuan was waiting outside.
There was a doll's cry inside, followed by a woman's voice: "Here! โ
Soon, an unkempt young woman opened the door.
She was holding a crying doll in her hand, and when she saw that it was Xie Mingzhu, she smiled a little crampedly: "Mingzhu, are you here?" โ
As he spoke, he stroked his clothes twice with one hand, smoothed them out, and then stroked his hair again.
"I heard about you, and I haven't had time to see you, are you okay?"
There was also a dirty little girl standing in the courtyard, about two years old, who was looking at Xie Mingzhu with round eyes.
Xie Mingzhu nodded lightly and smiled slightly: "Baozhen, I'll go back to the city soon." โ
Wu Baozhen was still smiling, but when she heard this, the expression on her face suddenly stopped.
"You're going back too?" She muttered, "It's better to go back than to stay here." โ
Xie Mingzhu was about to put the things in his hand on the table, but when he saw that the table was full of oil, he turned to put the things on the bench next to him.
"I don't need these things anymore, they're all fine, you can take them if you need them, and if you don't need them, you throw them away."
Wu Baozhen turned his eyes around it, and then nodded and smiled: "That's a good feeling, thank you!" โ
As he spoke, he picked up a small floral shirt on top.
"How's this dress going? You don't want it? She asked, a little surprised.
Xie Mingzhu nodded: "I saw that you were about the same size as me, so I gave it to you." โ
Wu Baozhen smiled happily: "I haven't worn such beautiful clothes yet!" โ
As he spoke, he put his clothes in front of him and began to weigh them.
Xie Mingzhu tugged at the corner of her lips and looked at the little girl on the side, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes: "Aren't you going to look for him?" โ
The smile on Wu Baozhen's face disappeared in an instant, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Just when Xie Mingzhu thought that she would not speak again, she sighed lightly: "What are you looking for?" He's been gone for more than a year, and he hasn't even brought back a letter, no matter how stupid I am, I still can't know what's going on? โ
After a pause, he laughed again, "I want to open it too, just treat him as dead, and let me be widowed myself!" โ
Although he was smiling, his eyes were red.
Xie Mingzhu looked at her appearance, and the expression on her face was also a little bitter.
Wu Baozhen is two years older than her.
More than three years ago, when she first arrived, Wu Baozhen was still an enthusiastic girl. Unlike the local girls, they are still a little shy and timid to see them.
