That Village, That Person, That Fool

I only said that the three of the lotus went to Sun Xuemei's house to give thanks. When Sun Xuemei treated the lotus as an intimate friend of the boudoir, the lotus with no heart also felt that Sun Xuemei was still as easy-going as before. , Draw a lot of nostalgia. Some words are not good. When the men said, Sun Xuemei only took the lotus into the room to talk while coaxing her son who was only one year old. The lotus sees that the baby is so cute and cute, and really likes it. Sun Xuemei laughed and said that let Lotus and Changsheng also have a baby, and if they had a son, they would be brothers with her son, and if they had a baby girl, they would give her son a wife. The lotus didn't smile shyly. She had long wanted to have a baby. It was even more desirable to hear Sun Xuemei mention it. She also thought that she has become a real couple with Changsheng now. There might be a little thing at this time next year. Tired of worrying about her.

On the other side, Cheng Shoutou, who is the master, is also very enthusiastic. He Haibao of Shannan, Haibei and Hu, but he has no majesty of Shoufu. Longevity has been sitting silently on the side, staring at people with guarding eyes, and from time to time nervously looking inside, as if he would be stolen if he accidentally took care of his wife.

The three stayed at Sun Xuemei's house for half a day. After sitting for a while after lunch, they said goodbye to Sun Xuemei and his wife. The sisters and brothers discussed how to deceive her father on the road. It was nearly evening to return home.

It was only said that the three of them entered the yard, and no one came out of the house. When Dabao shouted twice, Fang saw Erya lifted the curtain to welcome him, but her face was sad and anxious, only saying: "You can Come back, the second sister has an accident."

Dabao immediately said anxiously, "But is Wang Fugen scratching again and again?"

"It's not Wang Fugen... it's the second sister..." The fat girl stopped talking. She looked back at the house and took Dabao two steps out, whispering, "The second sister ran away with someone..."

"Ah?" Lotus and Dabao were shocked at the same time, and they were both stunned as if they didn't understand.

Fat girl said: "You haven't left for a while now, Wangjiazhuang is coming, seven or eight noisy, not to mention scary menacing. The head of Wang Fugen and his elder brother said that it was the second sister yesterday In the middle of the night, I ran away with people and asked our family to come."

Dabao was still shocked, and said straightly, "What ran, who ran with?"

Fat girl's face was red, and she said, "Who can you run with after running? You said you ran with a man outside..."

Da Bao was stunned and suddenly glared, shouting at the fat girl: "Impossible! My second sister is not that kind of person!"

The fat girl shrunk in fright, lowered her head and flattened her mouth, and grumbled in grievance: "Not what I said..."

The lotus hearts were all pulled up, and they just ignored them and lifted the curtain themselves into the house.

The lotus father sat on the chair in the outhouse, his eyebrows twisted like a pimple, he looked up at her and sighed in a sigh of anger. The lotus entered the back room again, but when she saw her mother leaning on the kang and holding Xiaobao to wipe her tears, she seemed to faint at any time.

Longevity also followed the lotus into the back room. He didn’t know what was happening, but he caught bad news from the lotus’s look. He got nervous in the confused look. He rubbed it to the side and found a Standing near the corner of the lotus, she stared at her nicely.

The lotus didn't care about longevity, but was confused by this sudden situation, and was shocked and anxious. Her dad was angry, she didn't dare to talk to him, she wanted to ask her mother, but she was just pulling her to cry, worried and angry, and she couldn't understand things. Fortunately, the fat girl followed Dabao into the house and told things one by one.

This morning, the lotus three didn't take long, Wang Fugen brought seven or eight people to her house to be dignitaries. He said that Xinghua and the wild man ran away. It was said that the person who had disappeared from Xinghua early this morning did not find it for a long time. Later, he had a village neighbor in the same village. He said that he and his son went to the relative’s house in the neighboring village for drinks last night. It seemed that he had seen two people sneaky, one was a robber in the village, the other didn't see clearly, only vaguely looked at the petite figure, and carried a burden-like thing. On the second day the wine woke up and saw Wang Fugen's village looking for his wife before she suddenly woke up, recalling that the man she saw yesterday was like Xinghua. After hearing this, Wang Fugen was dumbfounded, so he called several relatives to chase his family.

Several people had been at the lotus house for half a day, so they had to discuss it. The lotus dad wasn't a nuisance, but they were justified, and they didn't have any preparations. They only found a fire and made people search every house in the house. Wang Fugen didn't look for anyone, and also said that Sister Xinghua's wife's family was in the same village, and Baobuqi went there, clamoring to take someone to the lotus house. The lotus father was annoyed by the face of a few young generations. He heard that he was going to make trouble with relatives' house. He suddenly got angry. He copied the **** and tried hard with them. After all, this matter is not over.

After Wang Fugen and others were gone, the lotus father had been sitting in the outhouse. The lotus lady went up and talked, and he was angry and scolded. I cried for a long time, and the fat girl was also scared, and she didn’t dare to persuade the lotus father. She only persuaded her mother-in-law. At noon, she got some food, but no one could eat it. She just put it on the table. child.

After hearing the whole story, Lotus and Dabao were all stupid. Everyone was so sad as to cover the dark clouds, and they didn't speak anymore until it was all dark, and no one said an idea. The lotus lady dumbly asked her to go home first. The lotus was not at ease, but she didn't know what to do for a while. She only persuaded her mother to go home with Changsheng for a while.

Along the way, a lot of clutter in the head of the lotus, she thought about what she said to herself when she went to Xinghua's house last month, and the more she thought about it, the more she feared. I found short-sighted places. She didn't dare to tell her family that her mother had already cried for half her life, and then she had to listen to this, and the rest would be gone. She only hoped that the person in Wangjiazhuang would really see it. Xinghua really eloped with others, but she didn't lose her life anyway.

But think again, this elopement is also a dead end. In the first few years, a woman in a nearby village eloped with someone, and she was caught back in a few days. The adulterer was beaten to death, and she couldn’t bear it. Then she threw the woman and ran away. After a beating, the mother-in-law didn't even dare to ask. Others said that they had sentimentality, and it should be Shenhetang no matter how many years before the government. Later, the man married another room, but he never stopped the woman. She only left her at home as a cow and a horse. A woman in her twenties suffered a lot of white hair from her life. What a miserable life, he died in a few years.

The lotus was only fifteen or six at that time. When I heard the story, I didn't think that my own sister and sister had gone the road of elopement now. She was up and down, hoping that Xinghua wouldn’t be found, but if she couldn’t find her, she wouldn’t be at ease, and she didn’t know what kind of man she was with. In case she met another bastard, she was alone. , There is not even one who speaks and complains, that is, the family members who die outside do not know...

The lotus shed tears when thinking about it, and he followed her for a long time. He has not said anything for a long time. At this time, when she saw her lotus weeping, she inevitably opened her mouth: "What's wrong? How did you cry?"

The lotus wiped her tears and shook her head without a word. Uneasy, he took the hand of the lotus and held it in his hands. The lotus wanted to give him a comforting smile, but the corner of his mouth could not be pulled apart.

The two had returned home at night, and the lights of the grandmother's house were still lit, and the lotus and the longevity went back to talk. Grandma Four said that the stove kept food for them, and let them rest quickly after eating. Lotus looked at her grandmother's look, guessing that she probably knew it. But it is also true. Seven or eight people from other villages came to fight in the old man's house, and no one in this village spoke freshly.

Lotus and Changsheng went to the stove and sat on the edge of the stove to watch Changsheng eat. Longevity couldn't help but hunger. I was hungry enough to eat nothing this night. When I saw the food, I took a few bites. When I looked up, the lotus just sat there in a daze, put the porridge bowl, and took a cake to the lotus.

Lotus sighed and said, "You eat, I'm not hungry."

Longevity was a little overwhelmed, stunned, and still stuffed the cake in the hands of the lotus, saying, "I didn't eat anything at night, and I would get sick if I was hungry."

The lotus took the biscuits and ate two bites. It was really uncomfortable, so he put the biscuits back again and said to Changsheng: "You eat it yourself, go back to bed first after eating, put this bowl of chopsticks here, I Come over to clean up after a while." Then he got up and left the stove.

Longevity stared at the lotus into Grandma's house for a while, and froze for a moment, bowing his head lonely.

Lotus went to find Grandma Four and just wanted to talk to Grandma Four and let her help her get an idea. Grandma Four seemed to expect that the lotus would come, and kept waiting for her with the light on. After she poured out her worries, she sighed.

The lotus blamed herself: "Actually, I should blame me when she said those words to me last time. Even though it was for the sake of longevity, I have been concerned, but Changsheng has come back these days...I don't Well, I only care about my life and forget about her sufferings. If I can visit her again a few days ago, I'm afraid I won't be able to do today."

Grandma Four looked at the lotus road and said, "It's all right if you go. What's the matter? Are you God?"

The lotus froze for a moment and looked up, but after listening to the four grandmothers said: "You are just used to being the big one at home, everything is taken to yourself... She is your sister, you should protect It’s true that she was worried about her and worried about her, but you can live for her on this day too? Can you persuade her for a while and persuade her for a lifetime?"

The lotus frowned slightly, and said nothing thoughtfully. Grandma Four continued: "Xinghua is only one year younger than you. What about you as a little girl who is not sensible? If she counts that she is married a few years earlier than you, the more serious one should have experienced more than you. Can you When she thought of it, she could also think of how many days she had suffered and how many days she struggled in the end when she took this step..."

Lotus said: "I also know that Wang Fugen's person is indeed not a person who can pass through the days... But I was afraid in my heart, just because she did not take the right step, but found herself a harder way... …"

Grandma Four said: "It was her choice if she couldn't walk anymore."

The lotus was worried, and the four grandmothers stayed for a while, sighing: "It's not easy for a woman to choose the path she wants to go in her own life. It's even harder for Xinghua to be a honest girl... Whether it’s a way of life or a way of death, it’s up to her to step in one step at a time. It’s useless for others to die in a hurry..."

The grandmother Si said that the lotus also understood that it was really difficult to let her let go, but the troubles in her heart told the grandmother Si, and it was not so messy in her mind.

Grandma Four said: "If you want me to say, the most important thing for you now is to go home and sleep to get enough energy. You can't help Xinghua, your father and mother are right in front of you. Don’t do it, it’s inevitable that you will have to toss. Although you can’t come up with an idea, you can nourish yourself and stay with your father and mother, and they are also a comfort and support.”

"Yes... you mean..." Lotus took a breath and got up and left.

The lotus came out of the four grandma's house and saw that her house was lit with lights. She thought that Changsheng had been waiting for her. She didn't return to the house immediately. She went to the stove to pick up the dishes and chopsticks. Clean. Lotus knew that Changsheng had posted her specially, and got some comfort, washed her hands and returned to the house to rest.

The lotus entered the house, but when he saw that the futon had been laid out, Chang Sheng lay blindfolded in his own bed, motionless, and fell asleep. There was a bowl on her pillow, which contained the bite she had just bitten. Pancakes.

Lotus opened the bowl to the table, helped Changsheng tuck the quilt, and blew the lamp on the kang. She took off her clothes and lay down, but her eyes and eyes closed were all apricot flowers, and she couldn't sleep at all.

"Am I very useless?" Changsheng's voice suddenly sounded from his ears.

The lotus was startled and turned her head, but I saw Changsheng looking at her sideways and quietly looking at her. I didn't know how long it had been.

"Do you think I'm useless?" Changsheng repeated, condensing the lotus.

The lotus was startled, and said, "No, you are okay. I know that it hurts me to protect me, and I am happy in my heart."

The loneliness on Changsheng’s face did not disappear, but instead he became more frustrated, saying, “No, I know, you think I’m useless, you don’t talk to me, you talk to grandma, don’t talk to me.”

The lotus was questioned. Longevity seemed to find the answer in her eyes. Without further ado, she turned over silently.

The lotus was uncomfortable in her heart, and to be fair, she really hadn't thought about saying this to Changsheng. From the beginning, she didn't think she could get any help and relief from Changsheng. No matter what she said to Changsheng, how to tell others, or even to herself, but when something happened, her subconscious reaction still betrayed her: she has always been used to taking care of him, distressed him, but from Without considering him as a dependant, a man who can hold up a sky for her.

She likes him, wants to give him enough good, he also likes her, and wants to give her enough good, not just to help her brush a bowl and lay a quilt.

The lotus was sad and self-blaming, leaning on the past to hug the longevity from behind. Longevity did not move, only lying on his back, he made lotus more distressed, put his face on his back, muttered: "Sorry..."

Longevity still did not say anything, he felt very uncomfortable, lotus said he was not a fool, but she felt he was useless...she didn’t tell him, she didn’t let him hurt her, she pushed him away, far away ......Jiang Sheng twisted his body and squeezed away the lotus, and put himself under the quilt.

Chang Sheng lay his head down for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of clawing outside the quilt, which he knew very well, it was his peanut. He poked his head out of the quilt, and saw Lotus sitting next to him holding a box of peanuts and said to him: "Who said you are useless, remember everything you can do here."

Longevity stared blankly at the box full of peanuts, seemingly saying to himself: "This is my reward. I did a good thing, and yes, my grandma will reward me..."

Lotus said: "Yeah, it's all here, there are so many...I'm wrong..."

Longevity shook his head and interrupted, "No, not so much." He said that he got up, took a small handful of peanuts from the side pocket, and stretched out his hands in front of the lotus, trying to prove what was authentic, "These are also, I got it these days, and I want to save it for you." After that, he carefully poured the peanuts into the box.

The lotus cherished the peanuts in the box one by one, just like what Chang Changsheng used to do. After a while, he put the box cover aside, leaned forward and leaned against Chang Sheng's arms, whispering: " Longevity, Xinghua eloped with someone. Do you know what it is to elope? Just don’t live with your relatives, and live with other men."

After thinking about it for a long time, subconsciously hugged her tightly and said, "No, the daughter-in-law should live with her husband. Lotus and longevity are not allowed to go."

Lotus said: "I don't leave. I've been with you all my life, because you hurt me, and I also hurt you... But Xinghua is not, her relatives don't hurt her at all, and beat her to scold her, and unite with others She bullied her... she was uncomfortable and wanted to find a man who loved her more to live together..."

Longevity didn't want to understand for a while, and the lotus didn't explain much, only rubbed in his arms to find a comfortable posture, and said quietly: "Changsheng... Xinghua is my sister, a father and mother. Sister, she is a child with a hard life. Listening to my mother said that when my mother gave birth to her, it was not yet full term, and it was difficult to give birth. As soon as she landed, she left half a breath. My grandmother saw that she was a baby girl. After thinking about it, I said that I could not support my family. I was tired and paid money to see a doctor at home. I just hugged it in the woods. My mother had only half her life left after she gave birth. My dad carried my grandmother back and secretly hugged the child back, and Xinghua could live only in this way...She suffered from birth, was weak from childhood, and could not do heavy work, nor could my grandma please. With Dabao, her family will be even less..."

"When I was fifteen or six years old, they were hired by three media and six people to marry her home as a daughter-in-law. She means that she has depended on it from now on, and someone can rest assured that she will hurt her... but I don't want to get married. I didn’t take it seriously... I didn’t want to marry anymore, and I was wronged again. Anyway, there was a lady and our sisters snuggling beside me, and I had a hope in my heart. I just wanted to find a good home in the future... But now I am married. Even if I look at the head in my life, I have no hope...I know she is heartbroken, and she is out..."

"I am her sister, I want to hurt her to protect her, but just like my grandma said, I can’t hurt her for a while, and I can’t hurt her forever... I can’t complain about it, I can’t help her. I can hope in her heart that she has found a good man and walked away and never come back... but I miss her again in my heart... I am afraid that she will not see us in this life. "" The lotus said she couldn't help crying.

Longevity has been holding the lotus and listening to her quietly. Although she can't fully understand what she said, he listened to every word she said, and deeply remembered it in her mind. Think about understanding...

After thinking for a long time, Chang Sheng finally understood something like this and said, "Wait for Xinghua to come home and come to our house."

The lotus shivered and looked up at Changsheng.

This was the first time he called out her family's name, and it was also the first time that he actively invited a "stranger" to enter his territory.

Longevity looked at her one by one and said, "The lotus hurts the apricot blossoms, and the longevity hurts the lotus blossoms, so the longevity also hurts the apricot blossoms... When the apricot blossoms come back and come to our house, I will not bully the apricot blossoms. Apricot blossom."

The lotus coagulated for a long time, suddenly plunged into his arms unbearably, and wailed, and she cried more and more loudly, it seemed that there was a great deal of grievance pouring out at this moment.

In front of her father and mother, in front of the four grandmothers, she has been enduring, she is the granddaughter of the father and mother, the granddaughter-in-law chosen by the four grandmothers, she should be the one who can stand up and carry things, she has been stretched She didn't even realize she had a weak right.

At this time, Chang Shengsheng's words seemed to dig up the dam at the heart's mouth. In the arms of her man, she can be a weak and helpless little woman.

Longevity held the lotus tenderly, and when she was tired, she lay down and covered her with a quilt. He was crooked to the side, learning to take his grandma as a child, patting her gently and coaxing her to sleep.
