Bai Yuhua finished reminiscing about the past with her father, and then started to work. Although she knew it was next to the grave, she didn't know where exactly it was, so she could only dig around with a hoe.
While digging, I suddenly had an idea: if the object was just a little distance away from me, could I also take it away with my mind?
Afraid of receiving something not so good, such as her father's corpse or bugs in the ground, Bai Yuhua first practiced simply and found that she could freely collect what she wanted through her thoughts, and gradually she became proficient in the operation.
I started to walk around my father's grave, and put all the items in sealed containers into the space.
He expanded the scope and made sure that nothing was left for He Hongmei before stopping. He was overexerted and pale, and could only sit in front of his father's grave to rest.
"Dad, I'm going to the countryside soon, but don't worry about me. I will live a good life!"
While taking a break, Bai Yuhua checked the space and found that there were about 20 boxes, large and small. No wonder He Hongmei and her family had no worries about food and clothing in her previous life until her death.
Open them one by one.
Famous paintings with mothballs placed to repel insects.
Porcelain, jewelry and jade wrapped in cotton.
There are gold bars, gold jewelry, gold coins, Yuan Datou, silver ingots, and even foreign currencies such as US dollars, Hong Kong dollars, and British pounds placed on oil paper.
Land deeds and house deeds wrapped in oilcloth.
There was even a lot of grain mixed in it, probably as a sequelae of the Great Famine, as people were afraid that they wouldn't be able to buy food later.
Bai Yuhua saw how these things were handled so properly, and thought that it was definitely not something that He Hongmei could have thought of alone. If she hadn't said it, He Hongmei, who only had men in her mind, how could she have considered it so thoroughly.
His stepfather must have been responsible for this.
In fact, Bai Yuhua didn't have any particular feelings for this stepfather. He was just a man with no sense of existence.
I usually stay in the study at home.
He did not express any opinion about the bullying by He Hongmei and his daughter, nor did he criticize or join in the bullying.
Now it seems that this person is definitely not as simple as he seems.
Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Yuhua said goodbye to her father and returned to the steel plant's family quarters. She still had important things to do and time was running out, so she had to hurry.
The house in the steel plant's family quarters was because my father donated his family property, including the small Western-style building he lived in before. So the organization considered giving my father a job in the steel plant, and allocated a small two-bedroom apartment in the family quarters.
Now He Hongmei and Chen Jianguo live in the larger bedroom, and she and Chen Meiling live in the smaller bedroom. The bed she originally slept in the room was given to Chen Meiling.
She slept on a crude bed made of two benches and a door panel. It creaked every time she moved, and because it was so narrow she didn't dare turn over, for fear of falling if she wasn't careful.
When she got home, there were indeed two lonely packages on her bed. They were things prepared for her to take to the countryside.
Bai Yuhua rolled her eyes and sat on the bed looking at the room that once belonged to her. Now, only this simple bed belonged to her, and the rest had been given to Chen Meiling by her mother.
Bai Yuhua thought about a question: maybe she was not her mother's daughter, or someone was impersonating her mother.
But no, she is He Hongmei's biological daughter, and He Hongmei has not been replaced. This is even more hurtful.
It’s true that not all mothers love their children.
Outside came the sound of a family of three laughing and talking. It was mainly He Hongmei and Chen Meiling who were talking and laughing, and Chen Jianguo was echoing them. It sounded like such a loving family!
Because Bai Yuhua didn't open the door or make any noise, the family outside didn't know she was at home.
"Mom, my sister hasn't come back yet. Could something have happened?"
"No, he's already such a grown-up, how could anything happen to him!" He Hongmei's indifferent voice reached Bai Yuhua's ears.
It doesn't seem that sad anymore.
"I'm a little worried that my sister might run away at the last minute. What if the Youth League Office can't find her?"
"She doesn't have the courage. Meiling, don't worry. The one who will go to the countryside will only be her, Bai Yuhua. It won't be yours."
Chen Meiling added, "Mom, will my sister make a fuss? We haven't prepared anything for her. We previously said we'd give her thick quilts and thick clothes. Although our family's financial situation is limited, I don't think my sister will necessarily understand you."
"As a mother, I have been good enough to her. The subsidies for going to the countryside next door were all taken by the family. I gave her the 500 yuan. Do I still feel sorry for her?" He Hongmei said angrily. The debts owed by children are really debts.
"Meiling, you are sensible. I have already bought you the camera you liked last time. It is in my room and your father's room. When Bai Yuhua goes to the countryside, I will bring it to your room. Otherwise, she will be so stubborn that she will snatch it from you.
Also, when she passes away, I will throw all her things away, and then the beautiful clothes, shoes, and radio that I bought for you will have a place to go.
If you want anything else, just tell me and I’ll buy it for you!"
Bai Yuhua listened to every word, and bit by bit, she tore out the remaining feelings for her mother from her body. From then on, Bai Yuhua was Bai Yuhua, and He Hongmei was He Hongmei, and there was no connection between them.
"Mom is so nice! I am the happiest to have you as my mother. Dad, you are also very happy to have married such a good wife!"
"Yes, I am the happiest person in the world to marry your mother!"
Without thinking, you can tell that He Hongmei's face is flushed now, and she is looking at Chen Jianguo happily.
"Mom, can we go to the movies as a family? Dad mentioned before that he really wants to see Tunnel Warfare."
