After Hu Jie sent his parents and family away, he played with Hu Yingying for a few days before leaving the car. Everything he said to them was just nonsense, with the purpose of letting them leave early and not disturb him.
The day before leaving, Hu Yingying stayed in her father's arms, pouting and looking unhappy. This time, her father spent too little time with her.
While coaxing her, Hu Jie remembered that there was a kind of thing called hemp candy in the place they were going this time, and immediately told her that he would bring it back for her.
Hu Yingying was a little curious, "Dad, what does hemp candy taste like?"
Hu Jie: "Sesame candy, it's fragrant, sweet, crispy and crunchy. You, my little glutton, will definitely love it when the time comes."
Hu Yingying was looking forward to it. "Although I really want to eat, I hope Dad can come back soon."
Hu Jie always feels that it is great to have a child, especially a child as sweet-mouthed and well-behaved as Hu Yingying. He will feel very happy no matter how hard or tired his life is.
When Hu Jie left, Hu Yingying was still sound asleep. He wrapped the child in a small blanket and handed her to Old Lady Yin.
This time I won’t be gone for too long, I’ll be back in ten days at most.
After Hu Jie left, Hu's father and his family, who had been watching for a long time, opened Hu Jie's door with a secretly made key on a dark and windy night.
They didn't want to leave. The return date in the letter of introduction was still a long time away. If they went back now, they would be laughed at by the villagers, who would say that they were driven back because their son didn't like them.
So, they cheated Hu Jie for some time, and these days they were squeezed into a small room in the guesthouse, which almost drove them crazy.
Fortunately, I asked the second son for money, otherwise they would not be able to afford the accommodation for a few days including the food expenses.
After they entered the house, they pried open Hu Jie's locked drawer and found some more money. They were so excited that they stayed up all night and started searching everywhere.
"Let's live here. There are not many opportunities to enjoy life in the city. When the second son comes back, it won't be too late to leave. Maybe we can even get some money." Father Hu counted the money, feeling proud of his idea.
He originally loved the second child, but the second child was not filial. He almost cut off all ties with them for a cheap daughter. If he hadn't done such a ruthless thing, he wouldn't have wanted to be so secretive. Who wouldn't want to live openly in the city and enjoy the filial piety of their children?
He clearly told them that the car would be dispatched soon, but ended up playing tricks on them. So he couldn't blame them for playing tricks on him too.
"Grandma, I have no clothes to change. What should I wear tonight? I stink!" Hu Bin smelled the clothes on his body with a look of disgust.
They only brought two sets of clothes for changing this time. It was not convenient to dry them in the guesthouse, so even though they washed them, they still had a smell.
It's summer now, and children sweat a lot, so their clothes have already become smelly.
Hu Bin's mother Jinju searched everywhere and found a loose cotton skirt that Hu Yingying wore.
"Good boy, go take a shower first, and wear this for comfort at night!"
Hu Bin yelled, "I don't want it. Only girls wear skirts."
"Feel this skirt, it's so soft and fragrant. I'll cut it up and make it into a vest for you later. Be good!"
They dug out a lot of clothes and stuffed them into their rag bags, planning to take them all back. They even took Hu Yingying's childhood skirts, which would be nice to alter for Hu Bin later.
They ransacked Hu Jie's home like a swarm of locusts and did not fall asleep until the early morning.
I slept until noon and started cooking.
The noise inside the house finally attracted other people in the compound.
"Didn't Hu Jie leave yesterday? Why is there still noise at home today?"
"Could it be a thief?"
"What thief would be so stupid as to choose this time to steal something in the middle of the day?"
"Could it be that there is a beautiful girl hidden in a golden house?"
"You are stupid, but Hu Jie is not stupid. He has a beautiful woman in a golden house. I think you are like a golden house."
"Exactly. In this area, anyone's fart can be heard two miles away. How could he possibly hide it?"
"It must be a thief, why don't you go and check it out?"
Everyone was a little hesitant, but when they thought about the little gifts Hu Jie usually brought them, they felt embarrassed not to go and take a look.
"Let's go together?"
Everyone gathered at the door of Hu Jie's house. One of them knocked on the door tentatively, and several others leaned outside the window to look inside.
"Is anyone there?"
Mother Hu in the house was startled and her hand trembled, causing her to spill a lot of salt into the pot.
Damn it, which bitch is knocking on someone’s door in the middle of the day?
Hu Bin was also scared and cried in the house. When he opened his eyes, he saw several human faces lying on the window. The horror was no less than seeing a ghost in the middle of the night.
Jinju coaxed him while opening the window.
The people outside the window were also startled. The window was open outwards and they were almost pushed down.
"Who are you? How dare you just pee into someone else's house?" Jin Ju pointed at them angrily. "Look how scared my son is! Are you going to pay me for it?"
"You're talking about us. We also want to ask you, how did you move in? This is Hu Jie's house, right? Didn't you guys leave?"
"Yeah, back then you even insisted he borrow the factory car to take you to the train station, otherwise you wouldn't leave. How come you're back just a few days after we sent you away?"
Hu's mother also came out at this time, holding a spatula. "What does our family's affairs have to do with you? You should mind your own family's affairs when you have time. Get out of here."
After she finished speaking, she wanted to close the door, but the neighbors wouldn't let her. Although the families in the compound had minor quarrels and frictions from time to time, they all had a good relationship with Hu Jie. Seeing that something was wrong in their family, they would definitely ask for clarification on his behalf.
He is working outside and won't be back for several days. They have been neighbors for so many years and have received so many delicious foods from him. At this time, they must guard the house for him.
"Xiao Hu sent you to the train station earlier, so he definitely didn't want you to continue living here. If you moved in without permission, you're committing robbery and theft. Do you believe we can report you to the police?"
"That's right. And Auntie, this dress of yours looks familiar to me. It seems to be the dress of Hu Jie's previous wife. He used to take it out to dry in the sun when he had free time. He looked very cherished. Did you take it and wear it without asking him?"
"Oh, what kind of stain is on this dress? Xiao Hu will be angry when he comes back."
"And your fat grandson, he's wearing Yingying's clothes, right? How did such good clothes get cut into this state? How many good things in Xiao Hu's family have you ruined?"
"Hu Jie just went to work, he's not staying away. What on earth do you want to do? If you can't give us a reason, we will never let you go and will hand you over to the police."
At this time, Hu's father came out with a dark face, as if he was owed millions.
