Shen Weiguo, who was already chatting with He Jiadong, frowned, then darkened his face, and finally looked at He Wanqing angrily.
Seeing her flattering look, he gritted his teeth and said, "You've grown brains in vain." He glared at her with disappointment and began to replan her plan.
At the end, seeing that she just nodded without saying a word, he pulled He Jiadong aside and started biting her ear.
Shen Weiguo felt that it was a bit of a waste to tell her, so he might as well tell his old partner.
Thinking of the bad things the two had done since childhood, Shen Weiguo's eyes flashed with a golden light.
The Xu family?
Just wait!
If anyone dares to bully his sister, he will never let them off.
He Jiadong, who had already had this intention, glanced at his cousin after he finished speaking. Seeing that she heard it but didn't say anything, he knew that she agreed.
Thinking of this, he and a few others including He Jiamin started discussing with the Shen brothers.
The aunt and sister-in-law, who were pushed aside by a few people, walked and talked, completely ignoring what the brothers said.
On the first night after returning, while walking home from Hongse with her cousin, He Wanqing's lonely heart that had been suffering for many years found a place to rest.
The moon hanging above seemed to sense her happiness. It chased away the dark clouds surrounding her, emitting the brightest light, illuminating the country road in late spring clearly.
There was no need to turn on the flashlights in He Jiadong and his companions' hands, as they could see far away, just like in the daytime.
The brothers and sisters chatted and talked a lot until they sent her back home, ending the discussion along the way.
When she returned home, she greeted Grandma He and the others, and told them about her trip to the county town to make a phone call.
Finally, she talked about her mother and aunt, and then Grandma He arranged for her to eat a large bowl of fried egg noodles before she was asked to go home and rest.
After saying goodbye to those who cared about her, He Wanqing returned home alone. She did not go back to her room to rest as she had promised Grandma He and the others. Instead, she moved out a bamboo chair and sat in the yard, admiring the bright moon in the sky.
It is now mid-May in the year 1968 in Xiaguo. Every family is busy finishing spring planting in the fields, and every household goes to bed early.
Listening to the snoring of the neighbor next door, she naturally relaxed her body, leaned back on the bamboo chair, and let the chair rock back and forth, but she did not feel that the neighbor's snoring was noisy at all.
After so many years, she can finally lie down and admire the moon.
After reaching out her hand and giving the moon a hug, she asked Dahuang, who had been following her since she came back, to go back to the doghouse to sleep before getting up and going back to her room.
She took the hot water prepared by Grandma He and went into the bathroom built for her by her grandfather and uncle to wash up.
I hurried back to my room amid Aunt He's coughing so as not to worry the elders.
When she returned to the house, she did not immediately go into the space she had been longing for to admire it, but instead reached out and touched the home she had not seen for many years.
As she caressed him a little bit, tears began to fall from the corners of her eyes again, and her long eyelashes were stuck to her eyelids by the tears.
Maybe it was because the things she missed were so hard to touch, or because she had returned to the home she had been thinking about day and night, but He Wanqing's tears never stopped.
After she had touched every corner of the house, she choked up and blew out the candle and returned to her room.
After closing the door, she looked at the desk that had been tidied up by her mother, and she started crying again after having held back her tears.
She cried for the grievances she suffered in her previous life, for the death of her mother and others, and even more for her lack of knowledge, until she finally cried herself to sleep on the desk.
The first day after returning passed by so quickly.
He Wanqing, who originally planned to enter the space, did not go in because of her final burst of tears.
The idea of seeking revenge on He Cao secretly was shelved. When she woke up, the sun was shining on her desk.
He Wanqing was awakened by the dazzling light. She rubbed her swollen and sore eyes. Just as she was about to move her body, she found that she was completely numb.
The heart-wrenching feeling stung every nerve in her body, and after some rubbing, her legs, which had lost all feeling, finally regained consciousness.
The sore and swollen arms had already returned to normal when he rubbed his legs.
She stood up from the chair, stretched her legs and feet, took a look at the five-person kang that she hadn't slept on for many years, and sat down on it in two steps.
He rolled left and right on the kang twice, then pulled the quilt that smelled of sunshine under his nose and sniffed hard. He didn't get up again until he heard his eldest nephew's voice outside the door.
'That's great, she's really back. It seems like yesterday was not a dream, it was real. She, He Wanqing, is back alive! '
Standing on the ground, he took a deep breath: "I, He Wanqing is alive."
"Aunt, my great grandmother asked me to tell you that if you have something to do today, you don't have to go to the fields. She asked my mother to help you keep track of your work points."
When she wanted to say again that she was alive and not dead, her eldest nephew's voice came again.
"Here I come, Xiao Yuan."
He clenched his fist and encouraged himself: "Come on, He Wanqing."
He walked quickly to the door, and with a sound of "branch", the old wooden door opened. He then quickly walked to the main room door and opened it, then walked towards his nephew with a smile:
"Good morning, Xiao Yuan."
"Good morning, auntie. Your breakfast is in the pot. Grandma said that if you want to go to the fields, you should eat breakfast first."
He reached out and pinched his nephew's cheek: "Got it, you and Xiaojun go play!"
Instead of going to Uncle He's house next door to have breakfast, he went to the well to fetch water for washing.
"Aunt, I'm not going out to play today. My dad asked me to follow you."
He Wanqing, holding the towel, glanced at her nephew, and when she saw him nod seriously, the corners of her mouth twitched.
Forget it, she should not waste her cousin’s kindness.
"I understand, but I'm just going to be in the field recording work points today and I'm not going anywhere. If you're bored and want to go out and play, that's fine."
"No, no, no, aunt, I'm not going anywhere today."
He is a man, and since he promised to look after his aunt, he must do so. He cannot let his great-grandmother and grandmother cry with worry like he did yesterday.
He Yuan thought with a wrinkled face, rolled his eyes at his aunt who was unreliable and wanted to scold him, then ran back home with his legs puffed.
Less than a minute later, she came back with the bowl and chopsticks in her hand: "Aunt, have breakfast."
Fortunately, he remembered what his father said, otherwise his aunt would have slipped away again.
Looking at the people who were already heading towards the gate, He Yuan thought tiredly.
She had just hung the towel on the bamboo pole and was not hungry yet, so she was about to take a walk in the fields. However, before she could leave, she was discovered by her eldest nephew.
She took a look at the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and took them resignedly: "Xiao Yuan, Auntie is not hungry now, how about I give it to you?"
It would be a bit of a waste to give a nest of eggs and a bowl of noodles to her when she is not hungry.
