Chapter 58, Two Awkward Lovers (Part 1)

Because Fu Zhi’s thoughts were all about Yuan Sheng, he didn’t care much about Xin Xi’s actions. Xin Xi guessed this. She was only afraid that Yunfeng would act up again. Fortunately, he also understood her rough thoughts and behaved very well all the way. The four of them just asked the driver to take them back to Fen Town, and Yunfeng said that he would treat them as repayment.

Along the way, Yunfeng also gave Yuan Sheng some words of comfort. Yuan Sheng is of a crude nature. Seeing that a person with rare qualities like Yun Feng was talking to him so intimately and caring about him so much, he did not mean to despise him at all. Expressing sympathy can not make a hopeless person feel sad. Uncomfortable, he couldn't help but be greatly moved, and felt a lot happy inside. Another person, Xin Xi, who was good at figuring people out, enlightened him, explaining to him from far and near places, telling him that miracles were possible anytime and anywhere, and encouraged him to have courage and face life spiritually. I have become so alive that I feel I have taken a step towards hope. His originally withered heart regained a glimmer of life. This may seem trivial, but how difficult it is to obtain it! Regardless of whether it helps or not, it can be regarded as a little less regretful for those who have bad luck. And for the living, it should at least be able to buffer the grief of offside. The activation of Yuan Sheng's thoughts made Fuzhi full of gratitude to Xin Xi.

Yuansheng and Yunfeng sat side by side in the back. When Tomie looked at the faces of the two men, he felt like crying. No matter how surprising the contrast between beauty and ugliness is, in terms of complexion alone, one is rosy and healthy, and one can’t get tired of looking at it for a long time; the other is yellow and diseased, and one can’t bear to look at it too much. One is a fragrant and beautiful high-quality apple; the other is an inferior green peach that is odorless and tasteless. The cloud peaks are like the glorious sunshine, and Yuan Sheng is just the shadow of the moon. Sitting inextricably together will only make the beautiful more beautiful and the ugly even uglier. Tomie couldn't help but feel deeply sorry for herself. But the reality that Yuan Sheng didn't have much time to live made her unable to bear to think of him in a hateful and abominable way, and she had to let herself miss some of his humble and honest strengths. Tomie thought for thousands of times about how she would survive after her husband died. Who could give her the answer? When we were approaching Fen Town, the rain started to fall again, and there was a hazy green outside the car window.

Xin Xi did not expect that the distance between her and Yun Feng would suddenly be shortened because of a tragic incident. She felt sorry for herself. She did not know what would happen in the future, and she felt panicked all the way. It wasn't until Yunfeng got out of the car in front of his house and looked at her affectionately that she felt calmer after seeing him leave. She didn't want to have anything to do with him first. After sending Yuansheng home, various women and idle men inevitably came to inquire, and the fuss lasted for nearly an hour before resting. Xin Xi realized that there was no point in keeping her, so she still insisted on taking Tian'er home, and also gave her mother some calming words. Guihua saw her shouting and wanting to leave, but she didn't look as bored as she did before, and her heart was no longer as irritated and sad as before after seeing the girl off. Later, we went to Yuansheng's house. Yuansheng's two brothers and his mother happened to be there, and they all scolded Yuansheng and his wife, and Guihua sneered. Those few people felt uncomfortable seeing Gui Hua, and they left one after another because they were afraid that she would say something unpleasant to them. There was Fu Zhi crying about his grievances, and Yuan Sheng stupidly cried to his wife and children. Seeing Guihua's heart twisting, she could only say some encouraging words to Fuzhi and his wife.

Later, Baoru took the time to come. He first looked at Yuan Sheng and taught him how to be optimistic about food, and then went to the kitchen to chat with Fu Zhi. Tomie shed tears before she even said a word when she met a good person whom she was close to. Baoru cried with her for a while, then held her hand and said: "When you are upset, let it go. You can't always be upset like this in the future. There are three children looking at you! You have to cheer up. Get up. In this world, it is not difficult to survive. As long as you work hard, there is nothing you can't earn. As the saying goes, there will be a road before you reach the mountain. This also teaches people not to worry too much about the future. You have no plan at all and live in confusion; make some confident plans for the future and do it well. I don't believe that you will not have a good life. Although your aunt and others support you, after all, everything still has to be done by yourself. Don't let people look down on you with cold words. Nowadays, there are more villains than good people, forcing you to save your life.

But to be honest, earning a living is quite interesting and makes you feel at ease. "

"Yes, I can't go to the card table anymore. " Tomie said.

"It doesn't hurt to play occasionally. That's not a good thing. Once you have worked hard to make money, you won't think about it. "

"Yes," Fu Zhi buried his head in tears, "I was born like this, and I couldn't ask for more. I still have a treasure root! How smart and clever he is! The future is promising. "

"You must not expect him to go early. He’s even pointing you to run! Children will learn from you. I said it bluntly again, no matter how smart Baogen is, if you indulge and indulge him blindly, it will be harmful to him. The last time Xiaona talked to me about educating children, I heard that she was very reasonable. I was also strict with Belle. Love him as much as you love him, but you don't have to accommodate him in everything. He has never known how to think about others since he was a child. In these matters, mothers are not very wise and are asking for advice from outsiders. Can you listen to what I say? ”

“He is inherently cute, and people can’t help but feel for him.” Wouldn't he be even more pitiful if he didn't have his father anymore? Needless to say, be strict with him. "

"As the saying goes, a poor family produces young people. If he doesn't know the joys and difficulties of life, how can he cultivate the spirit of struggle? Then if you didn't expect him to become a dragon or a phoenix, he would have turned into a poisonous snake first. You can't bear it now. By the time you can bear it, it will be too late. Have you never heard of: watching children when they are young? It’s not something you’re born with when you’re young, you have to figure it out! ”

Fu Zhi said yes, but in his heart he was not convinced. He did not think that it was wrong to love his child. For the sake of maternal love, Baogen in the future would definitely be filial and kind to her.

It was already dusk when Xin Xi took Tian'er home, and no women from the neighborhood came to talk. Xin Xi started cooking, washed up, and went to bed with Tian'er to watch TV. Since she was afraid of recalling the scene in the central hospital, she had no choice but to cheer up and watch the TV series attentively, even though she really didn't want to watch the endless and pretentious TV series.

One night, Tian'er unusually didn't go to bed until nearly ten o'clock. Shenxi turned to watching CCTV's programs. She didn't turn off the TV until she was tired and fell asleep at three or four o'clock in the morning. She couldn't sleep anymore, so she lay lazily on the bed, thinking about the joyful moments and the sad moments, worrying about the past and the future, and she didn't know how to get rid of the Mid-Autumn Festival. As Tian'er was about to leave (she actually didn't want to keep Tian'er; she knew that no one except herself thought it was inappropriate), she suddenly heard the rustle of the wind, the sound of the rain, and not a single sound of worms reached her ears. Feeling sad in the dark, she stood up and turned on the lamp. She walked to the window and opened it. A cool breeze blew in her face, mixed with the smell of cold rain. She hugged a thin quilt and faced the dark night outside the window. I was lost in thought for a while, but I thought: Why didn't I have any dreams about him this night? Is it like people say that once you turn over, you will forget all your dreams? Or will there be no more bizarre dreams about him from now on? Impossible. What a coincidence of wind, rain, and sleeplessness! She sighed to herself and closed the window again. She went back to bed, took a pen and paper from the bedside table, and thought about it for a few minutes before filling out "The Bodhisattva Man". I wrote a poem titled "Autumn Fu":

There is a dream in the autumn night, but it does not follow. The autumn wind refuses to accompany people to sleep. The autumn rain is still and the autumn leaves are flying.

Three autumns have passed, and there is no way to remember them. Wherever I talk, I only feel sad for autumn.

After reading this poem several times, I thought: This is an excellent poem. , after all, it was because of him, so I copied it in my poetry book. At this time, I felt that the autumn night was cold and I had many worries, which was a good time to write poems and lyrics, so I took out the selected poems from the Song Dynasty and selected a few poems. "Qi Shi", let's put it aside for now. Unexpectedly, she was looking at the ancient poems and didn't pay attention to the time. When it was time to write the lyrics, it was already dawn, so she had no idea what to write.

On this day, the women went to the market and returned around noon. They were busy cooking and gathered early to play at Xin Xi's house. Xin Xi was still wondering: Why are we so busy today. Quiet? I heard Lan Xin and Lao Song running over laughing.

Lan Xin came in and shouted:

"I said I must be at home! Where can I go in this weather!"

"I went back to Liuxi yesterday," Xin Xi Said, "Don't you know? What are you doing?"

"I went to buy vegetables," Lao Song said.

"At this time of year, what you grow in your garden is not enough to eat? Go shopping, what else is there to buy?" Xin Xi asked strangely.

"How long has it been since we cut meat to eat? There is no oil and water in our stomachs, and we are thirsty." Lan Xin said.

"So," Lao Song said again, "we had to bring a group of us to accompany her to the market to cut the meat. Look what kind of person this woman is! She always has a calculation in her heart. She endures the pain by herself After spending money, she feels comfortable seeing us spending money with her!"

Aunt Zhang chuckled and said, "You are the only ones who know how to talk nonsense! Who taught you to live a prudent life like that? Each one spoke louder than the other, I don’t know how many hundred or eighty thousand have been saved!”

“Stop talking nonsense!” Lan Xin said with eyes wide open, “I want to slap you!” If I have a millionaire, my life will be easier. If I don’t live happily on bank interest all day long, I still make you laugh at my calculations.”

“You don’t think you can live well!” Are you happy?" Lao Song said, "You are really greedy! Even if you don't have 100,000 yuan, you have at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, right?"

"You can guess that there is a lover in the bank. No? I don’t believe he dared to tell you anything.”

“I just heard from those men! Didn’t you listen to their economic analysis of every household in Yongfu?”

"Their mouths are not sharp," Lan Xin said with a smile, "We women are born with this kind of virtue and there is nothing we can do about it. Did those men take the wrong medicine? Each one is worse than the last. Isn't it funny that you have a long tongue and a sharp mouth? I know that Jiang Sheng likes to pick eggs the most. He sits by the chicken coop every day and wants to dig them out of the chicken's butthole. Song, Jiang Sheng likes to eat eggs very much, right?"

"No," Old Song said seriously, "He never eats eggs, he just likes to pick them up. I guess he feels a sense of accomplishment when he picks them up. ."

Xin Xi laughed and said:

"You are making fun of them, they are so embarrassed. Lan Xin, have you finished your peanuts? "Where is Lao Song?"

"We still have half an acre of sesame seeds. We don't know how much it will be wasted if there is no wind." Maybe it's better." Aunt Zhang was a little worried.

"We listened to you yesterday and didn't dry the peanuts. Otherwise, we would have been caught in the rain."

"It's not a heavy rain. If the sky flashes, you can naturally take care of it." Come on. Do you want to play mahjong today?" Xin Xi asked Lan Xin.

"If I want to push, I won't come." Lao Song said.

When Aunt Zhang saw Lan Xin looking at her, she said, "Don't you think I'm too slow?"

"I sympathize with you, but don't be naughty!"

A few people just joined the show together. After a while, Lu Lixiu and He Manhua also came; Siqin came again and said:

"I don’t know where you can go except here!"

"You guys are a bunch of people." Where are the people?" Lan Xin asked her.

"Where did we come from a group? You mean Chunfeng, Lanxiang and the others? They were accompanying guests at Jin Chai's house. Jin Chai's sister is here.

”

“They are the only sisters who like to come here every now and then to live and eat!” "Lao Song said with a smile, "Jinchai is not in charge, so what can he do? I'm not afraid of people here chewing maggots! "

"You still don't know what kind of person Shou'er is? Only then can you show off your face! ——I want to touch the two cakes! Lan Xin, can you please slow down and draw the cards? "

"Of course you have to touch such a good thing! This Lao Zhang is old but his heart never grows old! I'll put another one in there for you to eat, I'll choke you to death, old man! Since it's slow, why bother? quick! quick! "

"Let her take it slow, it's not like you're rushing to the killing ground. "Xin Xi said with a smile.

Several people watching the cards scolded Lan Xin for being wicked, saying that she had a rich imagination, especially when she said ugly things. Lan Xin didn't care if everyone scolded her. She suddenly Ask Xin Xi:

"What did you do when you returned to Liuxi yesterday? Coming back very late? I said you weren't here, it was time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was indispensable to send holiday gifts. I see you also like to go to your parents' house. "

"I just go back to have fun, unlike you who are far away and it will be troublesome to go back." This time I went back just in time to catch up with something and went to the city. "On the one hand, I didn't dare to say it anymore because of Yunfeng, and on the other hand, I didn't want to say it anymore because of Yuan Sheng."

"I'm afraid you haven't heard that something big happened to Liu Xi, right?" "

"What happened? "Xin Xi's heart jumped suddenly, feeling that some ominous news had come, "Have you heard something? "

"I didn't hear anything! "Lao Song said, "Lan Xin, you damn bitch, have you heard anything? He didn't even tell us first. Come on, tell me, what's the big deal? Does it sound good? "

Several other women who went to the market also said that they had never heard any news. Lan Xincai said:

"You are all dull-witted. What's the use of your ears? I was buying fish at a street stall, and I heard a man from Liuxi tell me that a young man in their bay had cancer. Yesterday he looked fine, but this morning he had hanged himself. Xin Xi, tell me, do you know which young person in your bay has cancer? ”

Xin Xi was dumbfounded by what she heard, and burst into tears. She stared at Lan Xin blankly, unable to say a word. Seeing her like this, the women naturally thought that this matter must be related to her. Everyone was suspicious, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, eager to know what was going on. Especially Lan Xin, who couldn't help but feel scared when she saw Xin Xi looking so miserable. Lian said:

“It’s my fault for having such a long mouth! You should talk! Is that person someone from your family? Or——"

Xin Xi sighed and said:

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if I don't delay, I will inevitably die in the end. After all, he is an honest and pitiful man. ”

She sighed to herself, wiped away her tears, and explained Yuan Sheng’s story to everyone. Everyone knew about Fu Zhi, a cousin, because she had been here several times. At this time, she listened to Xin When Xi talked about their affairs, she felt deeply sorry for Fu Zhi and worried about Fu Zhi's future. Xin Xi pulled He Manhua to stand in for her and said, "I have to go to Liuxi to take a look. , you may have to stay for a few days. You asked my sister-in-law to lock the door for me at night. "

"It's better not to go," Lan Xin said, "It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later. What's the difference if you get up early tomorrow and go there?" How can you help? ”

“It’s just that I don’t know.” Now that I know, how can I live without going? You don’t know what kind of people my cousin’s husband’s brothers are, so you may not be able to blame my cousin at this time! They had always looked down upon her, but they used the excuse that she was sorry for their brother. This time, I just said that Yuan Sheng was killed by Fuzhi. "I went to the room, cooked some food, came out with a small bag, and said to Lao Song, "I won't go over and tell my sister-in-law. When you go back later, tell her to help me take Tian'er with me. "Thinking of Tomie, tears filled my eyes again.

When she went out, she met Wangyun. Wangyun greeted her with a smile and asked her where she was going. Xin Xi really didn't want to pay attention to her at this time, and left without even looking at her. Wang Yun heard Shen Xi playing mahjong at home, and Guan Shen Xi walked towards the back door with tears on her face. She guessed that something was going on with her parents' family, so it was no wonder that Shen Xi ignored her and came to Shen Xi's room and asked everyone:

"What's wrong with Granny Xin Xi? Call her, but she pretends not to hear. Are they—"

No one should respond to her. Lan Xin glanced at her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with her. She is just too kind-hearted. It's not her brother's fault. I don't think she needs to be too kind. Sad. There is no need for us to worry about her. Hey, Wangyun, why do you stay at home all day long? Do you have any treasures at home that you should keep guard on?"

" What baby?" Lao Song said rudely, "There is only one old cucumber in the sea!"

The women burst into laughter. Wangyun has been through enough experience that he doesn't care how others laugh at him. She feigned anger and gave Lao Song a shove and said:

"That's enough to hurt your eyes!"

Everyone laughed again.

When Xin Xi arrived in Liuxi, she didn't hear anything about Yuansheng. She thought that she was worried and scared in vain. Maybe Lan Xin heard it wrong. Little did he know that when people saw her coming, they thought she had gotten the news early, so they didn't want to make others sad with something so painful. Xin Xi hoped that Lan Xin had heard wrongly. When she went to the door of her house, she saw a lock on the door and she didn't know where her family had gone. There was no one next door. Xin Xi thought: Could something really happen? He was about to go to Fu Zhi's house when he happened to see Bao Ru coming out of the old house. When he saw Xin Xi, he shouted: "Xin Xi, do you believe me? Your family members are all over there. Help."

Xin Xi was shocked and asked:

"Brother Yuansheng really committed suicide!"

"Is it true? "Baoru said with a bit of sadness, "I'm sorry for your cousin! But if you don't feel good about it, it would be better to go there earlier than delaying spending money. It just doesn't sound good." For the sake of future generations, I never imagined how painful this would be! You didn’t see how miserable his death was and how scary he looked! Everyone worked hard to get him down because they were all afraid of infection. At this time, she was still frightened! Everyone said that she was the only one who froze Yuan Sheng. Who would have thought that she was so courageous?"

"Is it okay, Tomizhi? Where are the children?" Xin Xi asked.

Baoru wiped the corner of his eyes and said:

"Crying to death! How about everyone pity her? Chungu, Lingli and the others decided to help Fu Zhi get some help. I think that's not bad. Who doesn't have a hard time? It also makes people feel warmer. The various groups in the bay also discussed it and asked the village committee to take care of Fu Zhi. All the expenses were paid by Wanli. Everyone who had money contributed with their strength." "It's a shame for everyone's kindness!" Xin Xi said with emotion, "My cousin was relieved. Quite a bit, right? It’s just that she thinks everyone should be like that and just relies on Bang Cheng. “I thought so too, but I’m afraid she won’t listen.” Then, remind her again. She is young, so there is no way she can do it. To tell you the truth, we can make a profit selling vegetables, but it depends on whether she is willing to endure some hardship. Anyway, we need to buy a new junior car. Every time I go to the big market to sell vegetables, I will give her some. She also has dry land near a water source, and she can make money by growing some vegetables."

"If she is willing. That'll be good. I'll ask her when I get the chance."
