Even though ten years have passed, there is still not much change in the town of Guankou.

The intimacy of seeing the beginning of summer is spontaneous.

She was fifteen years old at the time, and although the two-child policy has not been released, it has been loosened a lot.

Ye Shuhua became pregnant "unexpectedly" and became an elderly pregnant woman.

Xia Benjun and Mrs. Xia made the decision and transferred Xia Chu to the first year of high school in Guankou Town, where her aunt's house was located, so as not to let Ye Shuhua worry about her life and study and affect the "baby crown prince" of their old Xia family.

I'm also afraid that if Xia Chu says something wrong, I don't know what the consequences will be.

Xia Chu was aggrieved and scared at the time, and with her younger brother and her mother, life should be better.

But what is waiting for her, will it be that the opportunity to go to high school that she finally got is gone?

Fortunately, her aunt's three sons and two daughters gave birth to a total of seven grandchildren for her, none of whom were granddaughters, so they loved her as if she were her own granddaughter.

In addition, Ye Xueming also repeatedly encouraged her at that time that she must study hard, even if her parents don't let her go to high school later, Ye Xueming will always support her and provide her with her until she graduates from college.

At the beginning of the summer, I slowly let go, and spent a semester in the town of Guankou that was more comfortable than at home.

It's a pity that Ye Shuhua's baby still couldn't be saved, and she was transferred back to the city to study at the beginning of the summer of the next semester.

Later, her aunt was also taken by her children to live in the city for a long time, and died in her third year of high school.

At the beginning of the summer, he never returned to Guankou Town, and he really never dreamed that he would come back in such a surprise today.

Huo Xiyao saw that Xia Chu had been looking out of the window intently, and his excitement was beyond words.

Suddenly, I felt that no matter whether she was willing to forgive herself or accept herself today, this trip was worth it.

He played the steering wheel, turned left and right for a while, and turned into a small alley.

It was the alley where my aunt's house was located at the beginning of the summer.

Xia Chu couldn't help but be more excited and puzzled, "Xiyao, how did you know about this?" My aunt's house is right in front, do you have anything to do with my aunt's house? ”

Huo Xiyao smiled, "I have nothing to do with your aunt's family, the reason why I came here is because my family is also here." Oh, it's the yard in front. ”

As he spoke, he had pulled the car to the door and applied the brakes.

Xia Chuxin finally faintly understood.

Huo Xiyao quickly got out of the car, and then, relying on his height and long legs, he took out a somewhat rusty key from the gap in the top of the gate, and opened the big lock on the gate, which was also rusty.

Xia Chu's eyes immediately reflected another world.

A small courtyard is paved with red bricks facing the gate, and on each side of the road is a small flower bed two meters square.

Although it is already the middle of winter, the holly in the flower beds is still flourishing and full of life.

Looking further ahead, there is the house, an old-fashioned blue brick house with five rooms, although it can be seen that it has been repaired, and there should still be people who maintain and clean it regularly.

But there is still a smell of vicissitudes unique to old houses, permeating everywhere.

Xia Chu slowly looked at Huo Xiyao, "Xiyao? Brave? You're Chen Xiao, right? ”

Huo Xiyao saw that she finally remembered herself, and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it's me back then." ”

Xia Chu still felt incredible, "But you, didn't I hear about you back then, I heard about you...... Hurt someone, taken away, and because you were sixteen years old at that time, at least you have to and have to be sentenced to life? How could it be...... What's going on here? ”

Huo Xiyao said in a deep voice, "I was not sentenced to life at the time, but I was sentenced to 20 years, and it is understandable to remember that I am young and ignorant. But I was bent on dying, and I hurt someone again in the detention center, so I changed it to an indefinite term. I'm not reconciled yet, and I want to find an opportunity to kill myself. ”

"Then one day, someone came to me and said that I could see the light of day and start again. After that, I was really free, but I still didn't want to live. Or did she later learn that my mother wanted to save me, and she ...... jumped into the river, and the only wish before my life was that I could live and live well, so I survived again. ”

In just a few words, Xia Chuxin was stunned.

It's been another 20 years, it's indefinite, and it's suicidal, how much hardship, how much blood and tears are involved?

Especially his mother jumped into the river in order to save him, which must have been an unbearable pain......

Xia Chu heard his own voice dry and astringent, "Your mother, she...... She's really not easy, but she's also great. If she knows and knows that you are so good, so dazzling, and so well, she will be very pleased. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but see the voice and smile of Huo Xiyao's mother back then.

I haven't seen anyone I haven't seen for many years, and I didn't know much about it back then, but I didn't expect to remember it so clearly.

Also, his mother was so beautiful back then, so beautiful as a painting, and now many girl stars can't compare, but after you see it, you can't forget it?

It's a pity that his life was thin, and his mother had a hard time when she was alive, but she didn't expect to end up like this in the end......

Huo Xiyao's voice deepened, "She is very great, but she is really pitiful in this life, and she is really not worth it." Who can be as stupid as her, who has been buried for nothing for an unworthy man and an unworthy son all her life? ”

Xia Chu whispered, "She may feel that it is not worth it for a man, but she will definitely not feel that it is not worth it for her children." Because except for a few mothers, the vast majority of others are the most loving and selfless for their children. ”

After a pause, "Can I look around?" Originally...... I heard my aunt say that this yard will soon be deserted, but I didn't expect it to look like it's not much different from before. You're the host, are you sure you don't want to take me, a guest, around? ”

Huo Xiyao knew as soon as she heard it that she was explaining herself in disguise.

In a better mood, "Then I'll show you around, let's go." This is the living room of our house before, with my mother's room on the left and my room on the right. I have tried my best to restore these furniture furnishings, but there are still some places that cannot be restored. ”

"This magnolia tree was planted by my mother when I was eight years old, and luckily it was always there. And this well has always been, and this stone platform, where my mother used to wash my clothes. But at that time, I always hated her...... I thought she was dirty, and I wouldn't let her wash me. I didn't expect it, it was impossible again...... I ......"

Xia Chu didn't expect that he obviously wanted to divert Huo Xiyao's attention and prevent him from being sad.

On the contrary, it made him even more sad, and he couldn't care if the boy had tears or not, and he was about to cry.

Busy Qiang smiled and said, "Xiyao, who is fine, is all in the past, the most important thing is now and in the future." As long as you can live well, your mother...... Auntie is always alive and alive in your heart, right? ”
