Chapter 26 Westbound
The day has finally arrived.
Thinking about the past few days, the two of them worked hard, begging grandpa and grandma, and finally returned to the starting point, which makes people smile bitterly. No wonder, life is about tossing, this is the meaning of living.
The train to Xijing passed by at 8 o'clock in the evening. There was still a day to go. The waiting time was long. Fusheng's time was easy to pass, and he had a full schedule. When he got up in the morning, he went to the train station to buy the evening train ticket.
Then we went to the construction site for a walk, and then went to the village to get a few letters of introduction proving their identities. When we came back, we went to the flour processing factory to exchange for some noodles for Xinlan’s parents. We took a rest in the afternoon.
Time will pass. Xinlan doesn't have so many things to worry about. The things on her mind are not as specific as Fusheng's, but they still have to be done. That is Guizhi's help during this period, which makes her feel very sorry. Especially because
The two days since Lu Dong and Liu Qin broke off their engagement have completely changed her impression of Gui Zhi, and she regrets it so much. Not to mention that things have gone full circle and come back to the same place, it has also caused harm to Gui Zhi's soul, so that the relationship between the two of them has changed.
The relationship went from the best to the worst. She really wanted to repair the relationship. Yesterday, when she came back from Liuqin's house, she deliberately got closer to Guizhi, but the more she meant it, the more fake it seemed. It seemed that she also
As if she was hurt, she had scruples and didn't dare to say anything more. But if she left this matter in her heart, it would be like having a scar, and she would keep thinking about it and touching it. She didn't want to carry this with her.
Scar left, even though she knew that she was only going to do errands this time, she still wanted to talk to Guizhi again.
But there is one most important thing that Fusheng Xinlan must explain, and that is what to do with the family in the past few days since Fusheng Xinlan left. After coming back yesterday, Fusheng Xinlan and Lu Dong discussed this matter for a long time.
, according to Lu Dong’s idea, he should go to the construction site to work, eat there at noon, and come back in the evening to deal with it randomly. But according to Fu Sheng Xinlan’s idea, Lu Dong should simply quit working at the construction site and still do his own work at home. Once he comes, he can see
On Sundays, I can still take care of my two younger sisters after school. I don’t delay doing any work. The family discussed it over and over again, but they weren’t sure what to do.
As they were talking like this, Lu Dong said, "Why don't you just leave and I'll bring Liu Qin here so that I can look after the house and cook. Maybe when you come back, you can call me grandma and grandpa."
Yes." Fusheng couldn't answer, but Xinlan said: "You can have this, it depends on your ability. But remember, your father and I are gone, you must take good care of your two children.
A sister."
In the morning, Fu Sheng left as planned. Lu Dong did not go to the construction site, but went to clean up things under the shed.
Xinlan walked around in the yard, looking here and there, without any idea. Finally she saw the chickens running around, and then she found something. She thought about what to do after being away for the past few days.
So he shouted to Lu Dong under the shed: "Lu Dong, your father and I are leaving. You can take care of the chickens for me, do you hear me?"
Lu Dong also shouted back: "I heard it."
Xinlan had something on her mind, so she didn't answer any more, just packed her basket and went to gather grass in the wheat field to the west of the village.
Not many people knew about Fusheng Xinlan's relocation. People still greeted Xinlan as usual, and it was so natural and close. The wheat in the field was green, and some had begun to bloom and set seeds, and the rapeseed stalks were pressed.
He bent down, there was no wind, everything was still, as if they were silently watching this woman who was busy in the field. This was her own stage. Xinlan did not enter the wheat field again, but just stood on the edge of the field.
Digging some wild vegetables and weeds. She was a little reluctant to part with all this, even though she knew that this time she was just going through the formalities and would return it after a while.
After collecting the grass, Xinlan chopped it into pieces with a knife and fed the chickens. Looking at the group of chickens in front of her, Xinlan forgot to count them, and finally counted them all. Suddenly a thought came to her, but
I forgot all about it again. It turned out that I heard the barking of Lai Hai's dog outside and the churning sound of Lao Wang's motorcycle. The sound of the motorcycle disappeared in an instant. Xinlan quickly went out with the soles and disappeared.
In the square, the breeze was blowing and the willows were whistling. Only a few men in front of Qingjun's stall were playing cards. The Guizhi, Rouxiao, Lin Qing and other women who had played in the past were not there. Xinlan felt so lost that she had no choice but to take a needle
The unfinished soles returned home.
Fusheng had returned home and was busy looking for bags and cartons to pack the noodles. Xinlan helped bandage them and found out the things and clothes she needed to bring in the afternoon. When everything was ready, she stopped. After all this, it was almost time.
At noon, Xinlan stopped going out and started busy with lunch.
After lunch, everyone was busy with their own things. Xinlan was thinking about Guizhi, so after clearing away the dishes, she went to find Guizhi.
Guizhi had just finished her work when she saw Xinlan coming and said hello, neither cold nor warm.
Xinlan knew what was going on and didn't blame her. She acted as if nothing had happened and kept asking her to go to Guizhi House to drink tea and talk.
Guizhi knew that she came here because of her attitude in the past two days. Seeing people yelling and pestering her, Yinxian came to bow her head and admit her mistake. She suddenly felt that she should not be like this anymore. She felt that her attitude was indeed a bit too much when she came back yesterday.
, not to mention that they are about to move away, so they should leave a good impression on them. Besides, Lu Dongliuqin has reconciled, and they are doing this for the sake of a happy life. If you don't know how to get angry, you will be asking for it.
Guizhi was straightforward. With this thought in her heart, a smile appeared on her face and she no longer showed a straight face to Xinlan.
Xinlan saw this and felt happy in her heart, so she spoke more casually: "Guizhi, I thought you were still angry with me? You know, if you don't want to talk to me anymore, I'll feel sick in my heart!"
Guizhi smiled and said: "Aunt, don't blame me. I was really angry with you in those two days, but this has passed. Don't take it seriously anymore."
Xinlan heard what Guizhi said and knew that she had no intention of blaming her, so she said happily: "You blame me, and I understand. If you try to matchmaking before and after, if it doesn't work, you will definitely blame me.
Blame me. However, I didn’t think it through at the time and almost regretted it for the rest of my life. Think about it, after living here for ten or twenty years, I will have no feelings for this. Fortunately, I didn’t play Liuqin and stayed here.
I have a root, otherwise I won’t be able to come back in the future. Isn’t this all thanks to you!”
Guizhi didn't expect that Xinlan was such an emotional person and was still thinking about coming back in the future. She was very moved, so she said to Xinlan: "Don't worry, Auntie, you just moved away. When you come back in the future, your home will be yours."
If you don’t have anywhere else to go, you’ll come to my house.”
Xinlan was very moved by Guizhi's statement. So Xinlan continued: "What I want is your words. Do you know that if you don't forgive me, your aunt and I will be uncomfortable all the way in the car. Today we have
I will remember your words forever."
Guizhi heard what Xinlan said and hurriedly added: "It depends on what you said, Auntie, I am just such a person. You can criticize me whether I do wrong or right, so just treat me as your child."
What should I remember for the rest of my life!"
When Xinlan heard what Guizhi said, she smiled and agreed: "Catch! Hit!"
The two talked and laughed, and time passed quickly. Worried about unfinished business at home, Xinlan said goodbye to Guizhi and started to go home. Seeing that Xinlan was leaving, Guizhi asked Xinlan how to leave in the evening and what time the bus was.
Xinlan told Guizhi to send Lu Dong to the station in the evening and take the 8 o'clock train.
So Guizhi said: "Aunt, let Haihai and Lu Dong go to the station together tonight, so that we can be company when we come back."
Xinlan heard about it and agreed to express her gratitude again and again before heading home.
