The day after Qin Zhiping was buried, Meng Yixing sent a message asking Qin's old lady and Qin's mother to return to the city on their own.
The old lady of the Qin family, who was still immersed in grief, felt her head buzzing when she heard the news.
At this time, she, a woman in her sixties or seventies, was forced to squeeze into a train...
"Mom, this, this, we have to go to the county to buy tickets, what should we do..."
The tears in the corners of Qin's mother's eyes had not yet dried, and she looked at the old lady of the Qin family at a loss.
When Captain Lu heard her question, he came forward and said with a simple smile, "The educated youth from our village went back to the city by ox cart to buy tickets in the county.
I heard that the journey to Beijing is not far and it only takes three days and two nights to get there."
When Qin's mother heard that she would have to stay on the train for three days, she felt her buttocks ache.
Although she hadn't stopped for days and nights when she came, there were only two of her and the old lady in the back row, so at least they could lie down for a while...
Seeing how devastated Qin's mother was, Captain Lu secretly curled his lips. He had been a city dweller for several years and he didn't know what kind of life he had lived before!
The next morning, Qin's mother and several people from the village got on a ox cart and headed for the county town.
As luck would have it, there were two people in the car, Wen Sihe and Wu Yu.
As soon as Mother Qin saw Wen Sihe, her eyes welled up and she wanted to hold her hand.
Wen Sihe smiled lightly and placed her hand on Wu Yu's arm, avoiding Qin's mother's touch.
Mother Qin opened her mouth in surprise, and the next second, tears fell like a flood.
"He He, now that Zhi Ping is gone, have you become estranged from me?"
The other villagers on the ox cart pricked up their ears to watch the show. It turned out that what had been rumored in the village, that Wen Zhiqing liked Qin Zhiqing, was true.
Judging from the situation, even my family members know about it.
Tsk tsk tsk, didn’t this landlord’s son pick up a broken shoe?
Wen Sihe smiled and said, "Aunt Qin, I was ignorant before and always liked to follow Qin Zhiqing.
Now that I'm married, you'd better stop saying things that may cause misunderstanding.
Besides, the rumors about Qin Zhiqing and Xu Zhiqing were already bad enough.
If you say a few more words, rumors will spread everywhere, and I'm afraid Qin Zhiqing's coffin will not be able to hold it down."
Mother Qin's face was full of surprise. Wen Sihe actually got married in the countryside?
Qin's mother was not at the brigade headquarters before. She had been crying her heart out in recent days and naturally did not pay any attention to Wen Sihe.
Originally, she thought that her father-in-law had said that Meng Yixing wanted to marry Wen Sihe, and she would use her status as an aunt to act as a matchmaker.
Meng Yixing still remembers her kindness, which is of great benefit to the entire Qin family.
My mother-in-law also has to look at me with a higher regard.
Who would have thought that Wen Sihe actually got married in the countryside...
She forced a smile and said, "Look at my mouth, what nonsense are you talking about.
When I saw you, I thought of Zhiping in the past, woooo, who could have thought that going to the countryside could cost you your life......"
The more Qin's mother spoke, the sadder she felt, and finally she burst into tears without caring about her image.
Master Lu Sanye, who was driving the ox cart in the front, heard the crying, his hands trembled, and he whipped the ox cart a little harder.
This caused the old cow to feel dissatisfied, and he snorted and shook his head.
The other ladies were also a little flustered. They were just there to watch the fun, so why did someone start crying?
Wen Sihe took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it over: "The dead cannot be resurrected, no one wants something like this to happen, please accept my condolences."
There was a hint of sadness in her tone. This was the best she could do for Qin's mother. It also served as a way of repaying her for the kindness she had shown her by preparing a meal or two for her in the past.
When they arrived at the county town, Qin's mother's eyes had swollen like walnuts.
She looked at Wen Sihe in embarrassment: "Hehe, I'm not familiar with this county at all, can you take me to buy a ticket...
Or I can give you a letter of introduction and money, and wait for you at the state-owned restaurant with the food I ordered."
Wen Sihe: ...You are so shameless.
She looked at Qin's mother with a half-smile and said, "I'm really sorry, Auntie. I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, and I have to go to the post office to mail a letter. I'm afraid I can't help you."
Mother Qin could not hide her disappointment on her face. She wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Wen Sihe.
Wen Sihe pulled over the mole-faced lady who was watching the fun and said, "Let this lady take you there. She is very familiar with the county town.
But they are not running errands for nothing. After all, everyone who comes to the county town has things to do, right? "
The mole lady, who was about to refuse, came forward as soon as she heard that there was a reward, grabbed Qin's mother's arm and said, "Sister, I'll take you there.
I can walk around Tonghe County with my eyes closed. You just wait at the door and I will go in and help buy tickets."
Mother Qin changed her weak look with swollen eyes from crying, straightened her body, looked like a superior city dweller, and nodded gently!
By the time Wen Sihe and Wu Yu came back from the post office with their bags, Qin's mother and Aunt Mole had already boarded the ox cart.
Mother Qin lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
The mole-faced lady next to her looked pale and absent-minded, with her eyes darting around as if she was looking for someone.
Wu Yu gently nudged Wen Sihe's shoulder and asked softly, "What's going on?"
Wen Sihe shook her head slightly. It seemed that something had not happened to Qin's mother, but to Aunt Mole.
At this time, the mole-faced lady sitting on the ox cart felt like there were nails on her buttocks, and she kept twisting her body anxiously.
Her heart was beating fast: the person she just saw was her old lover, right?
But why was he in the county? And he seemed to be waiting for someone?
With the arrival of several other people, Uncle Lu San started to shout at the old ox.
The mole lady thought about it again and again, and jumped off the ox cart when the cart was about to return to the village.
"Master Lu, I'll be back later."
Master Lu, who was missing a tooth, smiled and said, "Oh, it's not close if we walk back."
The mole lady waved her hands and ran away.
When Wen Sihe returned to the village, Lu Zhiye had just returned from work.
He took Wen Sihe's package from the ox cart and asked in a low voice, "Have you had lunch?"
Wen Sihe smiled and nodded, then pulled out a small cloth bag and said, "I went to the black market and found some beef brisket.
This is hard to come by, I'll show you how to do it later!"
Wu Yu looked at the affectionate couple and covered his chest in shock, looking like he had eaten dog food, which made Wen Sihe laugh.
When they returned home, Wen Sihe slammed the door shut, pulled Lu Zhiye's sleeve, and said softly: "I heard news about Meng Yixing in the county today..."
