With a harsh brake sound, the bicycle, which had been in disrepair for a long time, did not stop immediately. It moved forward for less than two meters before slowly stopping.

Zhang Guoquan put one foot on the ground. He wanted to say something, but after a moment's pause he still didn't say a word and got on his bicycle.

It turns out that the road back to Hegou is just as difficult as when we came here.

Widow Ma behind her said with a choked voice: "Guoquan, I know you look down on me by saying this, but my sister can't help it. I thought about it all morning in the hospital and decided to give birth to this child. You don't know how much I look forward to it."

He has a child."

Which woman doesn't want to have a child? Even though Zhang Guoquan is a man, he can also feel that feeling in Bai Ge.

But this child is different. Doesn’t Widow Ma know that this child is a disaster? The law will not tolerate it and God will not tolerate it.

"Guoquan, since a child is going to be born, it cannot be done without a father. Then this child will be looked down upon by others. I can be looked down upon by others, but the child is innocent and cannot be looked down upon by others as soon as he is born."

From the perspective of Widow Ma purely as a mother, it is of course understandable to say this.

She longed to be a mother, and had longed for it for many years. If she could have become a mother earlier, nothing would have happened later. Like most village women, she gave birth to children, fed them, and spent time with her when she was out of shape.

Let the child grow up slowly.

Plain and simple, but also satisfying.

Zhang Guoquan, who had been silent, asked her a fatal question.

"So, do you know who the father is?"

Zhang Guoquan didn't know about this question, and even Widow Ma herself didn't know. What a sad thing happened to Widow Ma every time.

Widow Ma sat in the back and was silent for a long time. At first, she did not directly answer Zhang Guoquan's question, but asked Zhang Guoquan.

"Guoquan, although my sister has not been in contact with you for a long time, she knows you well. Why didn't you report those men to the police station?"

According to Zhang Guoquan's temperament, the only set of standards in his mind is right and wrong, but there are many things in the world that cannot be said to be right or wrong.

Zhang Guoquan smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I thought about it, and I went to the police station to ask, but people said that such a thing must be reported by the woman. Just based on what I said there, people just thought it was nonsense and unjust. So,

It also depends on your personal wishes, otherwise there is nothing anyone can do."

So that was it, this was the Zhang Guoquan she knew.

"Okay, sister, let me answer your question just now. Do you know who the father of the child is? Of course I don't know, so I'm going to go to their village, and I'll go with whoever wants me.

My man is the child’s father.”

At this moment, the bicycle stopped immediately. When the brakes could not be braked, Zhang Guoquan tapped the ground hard with his toes.

He looked at Widow Ma in disbelief and asked, "Sister Ma, are you crazy?"

Unlike Widow Ma who had been confused before, she was surprisingly determined at this moment.

Widow Ma said: "I know what I am doing. This is already the case. What can be worse than this? No matter what, it is better than staying in Yangjiazhuang."

Staying in Yangjiazhuang would only result in cold looks from the villagers. These villagers were all the folks she had known for so many years. Often, the most uncomfortable feeling would be for someone you know well to stab you in the back.

She didn't want to stay in a familiar environment, so she might as well go to another village. Anyway, she didn't know anyone, so she could say whatever they wanted.

This is what Widow Ma thought. She began to plan for the future. She no longer lived one day at a time like before. Those days were too painful.

She gradually became firmer, but Zhang Guoquan became confused.

Widow Ma’s behavior is just breaking the pot.

Zhang Guoquan rode slowly on the narrow dirt road. The wind blew through the ditch, pushing the weeds in the ditch even lower.

Originally the wind was warm, even a little bit hot, but when Widow Ma's voice rippled along the wild wind from the surrounding area, this warm wind was filled with a penetrating chill.

"Guo Quan, I've thought about it. No one of them wants to recognize this child, let alone me. So, don't blame my sister for being cruel. I will sue them for insulting me. I won't sue anyone who wants me."

Who, of course, even if they all want me, I will only keep one, and send the rest to prison."

Widow Ma's decision suddenly made Zhang Guoquan feel strange. Why did Widow Ma think so much and change so much in just one morning?

Bai Ge said that if a woman becomes a mother, she will no longer be a weak little woman, she will become strong and desperate.

Widow Ma also changed. Once she became a mother, she would do anything for her children.

When she arrived at the east end of the village, Widow Ma got out of the car, looking much more relaxed than when she went to the town in the morning.

Standing there, his tall figure almost reached the tip of Zhang Guoquan's nose.

She shrugged her shoulders and said quite relaxedly: "Guoquan, thank you for taking me to the town. Don't worry about the future. I can handle it myself. You can take care of Bai Ge and Xiao Zhaoyang."

That’s fine, I can do it myself…”

Of course Zhang Guoquan believed that she could do it. He asked: "Sister Ma, when are you going to leave? Where are you here..."

It seemed like he was saying goodbye, and the atmosphere when he spoke inexplicably added a sense of sadness.

"Hey, look at you like this. It's not like I won't come back. Just keep harvesting the wheat. You don't have to worry about your sister. Well, I will come back to see you and Baige soon. At that time, I think

The child has been born. If it's a boy, let him and Xiao Zhaoyang be good brothers. If it's a girl, then maybe we can have a baby kiss..."

Widow Ma suddenly paused, this child is so dirty, who would want to have a baby kiss with this child?

"Guoquan, I didn't mean to say that, you know...Hey, that's it, you go to work in the fields."

Widow Ma turned around and walked towards Yang Jianmin's house. It won't be long before that earthen yard will return to peace. In ten years, it will gradually become dilapidated.

How many things will happen in ten years? By then, there may be no earthen houses in the village, but all red houses built with bricks and tiles. By then, will Yang Jianmin still recognize this village when he comes back?

I can't find his home.

Ten years is really too long, and Widow Ma can't wait. People in the village will slowly forget about it in ten years, and they probably won't remember Yang Jianmin as a person.

Zhang Guoquan has been very busy these days. He wants to take advantage of God's good will to cut the wheat in the field quickly, tie it into bunches and stack them on the ground, and take them to the threshing field in the evening.

I was busy using stone rollers to compact and flatten the wheat field, and I was busy spreading the wheat, squeezing out the wheat kernels, and taking advantage of the wind in the middle of the afternoon to lift them up. At that time, there was often a layer of floating matter on the surface of the river.

Wheat bran.

Wait until the wheat is dried, put it into bags, and pile it up in the main room. I feel very satisfied when I see it full. With these wheat, I will be much better this year.

He was busy plowing, fertilizing, and raking garbage. The eight acres of crop land was quite busy. He was the only one working on it. Every day, he dragged his exhausted body back to the wheat field and lay down directly on a pile of wheat straw to sleep.

It fell asleep, and the next day it was woken up by the little guy stretching out his hand.

It was almost time to hand over the public grain, and he was already able to do it with ease. After handing over the public grain, he could sow the seeds after waiting for a rain.

He was so busy during this period that he had no time to think about Widow Ma. Widow Ma left the day after she came back from the clinic in town. She should have left early in the morning, maybe even earlier. It was estimated that the sky was high when she left.

There are still stars hanging on it.

That day, the yard of Yang Jianmin's house was locked. The lock was rusty, leaving only an empty yard locked inside.

But sometimes when Zhang Guoquan looked at the yard, he suddenly thought that the lock might also have locked two people.

He didn't know the current situation of Widow Ma. During this period, the news about Widow Ma was all learned from the villagers' discussions.

First, the story of Widow Ma being insulted by several men spread in the village, and it exploded. If it hadn't been for Widow Ma having a child, no one would have known that such a thing happened on the night of the movie.

After the incident spread, the whereabouts of Widow Ma were quickly known to the people in the village. It was difficult not to let the villagers know about this kind of thing. Which village was a little troubled, and I don’t know why. The next day, all the surrounding villages were in trouble.

knew.

You can't even find the person who first sent the message, and no one cares who was the first person to send the message.
