It was late at night, and my eldest cousin didn't run far away. After leaving the hospital, she hid in a corner next to her, wiping her tears in grievance, her body twitching, and crying very sadly.
After Chu Heng followed her out, he quickly found her after looking around for a moment.
He looked at the huddled body with a complicated expression, and for a moment he really didn't know how to comfort him.
In his impression, Duan Fengchun has always been strong, free and easy, and heartless.
It's not easy to coax such a person into crying!
"Why!"
Chu Heng sighed softly, walked lightly to his eldest cousin and squatted down. After thinking for a moment, he took out a cigarette and handed it over, jokingly saying: "Cousin, this is a bit unlike your style. , I remember that you have always been a heroine who bleeds but does not shed tears, please stop crying, you are a bitch, not chic at all."
"Get out of here! Can you comfort people?"
The eldest cousin immediately laughed at him, stretched out her hand and pushed him hard, turned her head with red eyes, and said angrily: "Why do you think the old lady is like this? That He Yuzhu is obviously not a good person, why is she still forcing her? Want me to go find him? Am I such an eyesore to her?"
"The old lady is also in a hurry."
Chu Heng first catered to her words to resonate with her, and then continued: "But she is really worried about you and doesn't want you to miss this good marriage in her eyes. After all, you are really old. She’s not young anymore, it’s not easy to meet the right one.”
"I don't see what's good about that He Yuzhu."
The eldest cousin curled her lips disdainfully, took the cigarette he handed to her, took a puff, lowered her head and looked at the ground, muttering: "I just don't understand why everyone is forcing me. Marriage, as if it would be a big sin if I didn't marry myself off. Do people live just to get married? Can't I live by myself? "
As soon as I saw you, I didn’t think about it...
Look at me, after I figured it out, I got married early. If anyone dares not to let me get married, I will risk my life!
Chu Heng secretly cursed, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "The older generation has traditional ideas. In their eyes, getting married and having children is indeed unparalleled."
"But I don't want to get married for the sake of getting married."
The eldest cousin looked up at the dim street lamp not far away. Her almond-shaped eyes shone with loneliness and perseverance. A slender white finger held a cigarette and brought it to her small and red lips. Amidst the smoke, the yellowish color Under the light, her pretty face became mysterious: "I have thought about it. I will never listen to anyone else in the future. I want to control my life by myself! No one can influence me! Not even God!"
So sassy!
Chu Heng stared blankly at his eldest cousin who suddenly showed off his domineering attitude. It took him a while to come back to his senses and said mercilessly: "What you don't understand or not is an afterthought. You'd better go back and coax the old lady." Come on, don’t say any annoying words that don’t bother your eyes. Don’t you have any idea how she treats you? If you get so angry that you won’t even be able to find a way to cry!”
Although he had not been in contact with his grandma for long, he could clearly see that the old lady was really kind to her eldest cousin, and she was also worried about her.
"Why!"
The eldest cousin sighed sadly, took a puff of the cigarette, threw it on the ground and stamped it out, then pulled Chu Heng to stand up and walked inside together.
"You have to come with me."
When the two of them returned to the house, the old lady was sitting on the bed with a livid face and sulking. At the same time, she was also worried about Duan Fengchun's safety. When she saw that her eldest cousin was back, she was relieved and then wanted to scold her. , but he held it back, and just glared at the woman fiercely, then turned his head away from looking at her.
Like a child...
"Grandma, I was wrong."
Seeing this, the eldest cousin hurriedly walked over, took the old lady's hand and reflected on herself, which soon made the old lady's anger disappear.
Coupled with the help of Chu Heng, his wife and Ni's mother, it didn't take long for grandma to be coaxed.
"When will you make me worry free?" The old lady touched Duan Fengchun's head with pity and sighed: "We women only have a few years worth of money, but you are already so old, why don't you If you marry quickly, there won’t be any good families.”
The eldest cousin sat obediently next to the old lady, glanced at Chu Heng, gave her a look of help, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandma, and my brother-in-law said they would introduce me to another partner. And he is even better than that He Yuzhu. Okay."
When did I say that?
Don't lie to me, okay?
Chu Heng looked at his eldest cousin speechlessly, but in the end he did not deny it. After patting his chest and accepting the matter, he quickly said goodbye to the old lady and left the hospital with Mother Ni.
If he stays any longer, this woman might figure out how to trick him!
…
The next day, morning.
After having enough of wandering outside, Chu Heng followed Dada back to the grain store and prepared to have lunch with his wife.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw a familiar figure, it was his third uncle and grandfather Yang Youfu who was beyond his reach!
The old man's waist is still straight, and his energy level is much better than last winter. Although he is still very thin, his complexion is at least rosy.
And he is no longer as ragged as before. He is wearing a set of work clothes among the old clothes that Chu Heng got him from the trust store last year. Although they have been washed and turned white, they still have a few extra pieces. It's patchy, but very neat. It can be seen that he should cherish this clothes very much.
The old man did not come by himself this time. There was a young man beside him. He had dark skin, a thin figure, a slightly curved back, and an expression that showed the restraint of most rural people after entering the city.
At this time, Xiao Ni was chatting with the old man. There was no trace of disdain from the poor relatives on his pretty smiling face, only sincere enthusiasm.
"Hey, my third uncle, when did you come?" Chu Heng stepped forward in surprise and took the old man's hand affectionately.
"I just arrived." The old man looked at him happily, and immediately introduced the young man beside him: "This is my grandson, your cousin Yang Qing."
"This is your cousin Chu Heng, call someone quickly."
"Brother." Yang Qing smiled at Chu Heng cautiously, his eyes full of curiosity. He had heard about this relative in the city for a long time, and now he finally saw him alive.
"Hello, hello, come on, brother, have a smoke."
Chu Heng happily stretched out his hand to shake Yang Qing's hand, took out a cigarette and gave one to the old and the young, and then pulled them out: "Third uncle, you two haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go." Come on, let’s go to a restaurant.”
"I've eaten, I've eaten." The third uncle and grandpa didn't want to cause any more trouble to others, so he hurriedly broke away from his hand, pointed to a grain bag at his feet, and said, "I came back to pay for the grain. You Quickly weigh him, if there is no problem, we have to go back quickly, otherwise we will have to travel at night."
"food?"
Chu Heng glanced at the big grain bag on the ground, feeling both pleased and admired.
When he borrowed the food, he actually never thought that the old man would pay it back.
After all, the countryside at this time is still quite difficult. When the food received in a year is rarely enough to eat, where can the old man get so much food?
If he really had the guts to give back the food to Chu Heng, the old man's whole family would definitely have to drink gruel with clear soup and little water for a while!
But he didn't break his promise in the end!
He actually came with food.
