Chapter 42 I Can't Let It Go
Huo Qingming said, "Do you mean what Zhang Zhiqing said is true? They threatened Qingqing with the child?"
Luo An Ning shook his head, "We can't believe everything Zhang Zhiqing said, but we can't believe nothing at all. I felt quite optimistic at first, but after meeting everyone in their family, my heart ached. What should I do? In her current situation, even if your father is reinstated, there is no way to bring her back. If she wants to go back, she has to get a divorce, which is something that Guaiguai can't do, and neither can we. But if we don't do this, Guaiguai will have to stay here for the rest of her life. What can we do?"
Huo Qingming said, "Didn't they say that the college entrance examination will be resumed next year? Qingqing can take the college entrance examination when it is resumed. As long as she is admitted to a university, she can return to the city legitimately! Then find a temporary job for Han Jianwu in the city. He can even drive. I think he is a good man. He is smart and down-to-earth. He is also good to Qingqing and the baby. Qingqing will only live here for another year or two at most. Han Jianwu will not treat her badly. You can rest assured!"
Luo Anning, "What do you know as an unmarried person? Han Jianwu is indeed good, but there is a problem between them."
Huo Qingming was indeed a little green and inexperienced. "What's the problem? Isn't it good?"
Luo An Ning glared at his son. "You naturally can't see that kind of subtle problem, but I can't tell what the specific problem is. Anyway, there is a problem. Some of the things Qingqing said are very different from her first letter. Many problems don't match at all. Something must have happened in between.
And her mother-in-law is obviously not a good person. This is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that their family has so many houses, but they actually gave the house in the backyard to Qingqing and her family. Is this something a normal person would do? ”
Huo Qingming said, "Jianwu told me that his parents are his uncle and aunt, and he is not his biological son."
Luo An Ning, "Qingqing also told me that most people would give them similar houses in order to avoid being known as mistreating orphans, right? But they are clearly bad people."
Huo Qingming smiled, "Mom, look at where you are. Don't use your moral standards to judge them. To put it bluntly, the more people in this kind of place are, the less they have martial ethics. Those people are my biological children, so naturally I have to give them a good house. Jianwu is still a layer away from me."
The two men had not yet told the mother and son that the Han family’s house was basically built with Han Jianwu’s hard-earned money!
Huo Qingming said, "Mom, don't worry about the house for now. As long as Qingqing gets into college and returns to the city, she won't have to live in that house anymore. What does it matter if it's good or not? As long as the current house is safe, I'll be relieved. The most urgent thing is to find a way to let her study hard and get into college."
Luo An Ning sighed, "How can it be easier said than done? It's unknown whether the college entrance examination can be resumed. Even if it is resumed, can you be sure that Qingqing can pass the exam and go to the provincial capital? Don't forget that she is now an out-and-out farmer. Not only does she rely on Hanjiagou for food, but her household registration is also in Hanjiagou. Even if she is admitted to university, if there is a policy of following the assignment policy after graduation, she will still have to return here."
Huo Qingming said, "The resumption of the college entrance examination is certain, it's just a matter of time. For the rest, we can only take it one step at a time. No matter how much you worry now, it will be useless. The only thing we can do is to give them more money and tickets, so that they can have enough food, so that the two children are healthy, and Qingqing has the energy and time to read. That's all."
Luo An Ning sighed again and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the Youth League compound and take a look?"
Huo Qingming knew that his mother was going to ask the educated youth about Huo Qingqing's past few years, so he said, "Forget it! Look over there." He pointed at the flickering lights of the educated youth compound and said, "It's far away! It looks close, but we have to turn a few hills to get there. We are not familiar with the terrain, so we should not move around. If something happens, it will cause trouble for Jianwu and Qingqing."
Luo Anning said, "Forget it!"
Huo Qingming actually has something more important to tell, and is wondering whether he should tell his mother. His sister specifically told him not to tell his parents and asked him to help her deal with the matter after he returned to the city. However, he had been in the army and had never dealt with such a thing, so he really didn't know what to do.
In the afternoon, Huo Qingqing took her eldest brother to the vegetable garden by the gable to build a rack for beans and some hollyhocks. She deliberately avoided her mother and told him about Lin Anan. This made her have to tell her eldest brother all the truth about the incident, but she didn't want her parents to worry about her anymore.
Huo Qingming looked at the dark shadowy mountains, sighed, and said, "Mom, let's go back!"
Luo Anning said, "Are you hiding something from me?" Most likely Han Jianwu told him something.
Huo Qingming shook his head, "No, I was just thinking about my sister."
When they came back, Han Jianwu and Huo Qingqing had already disassembled the big bed in the small room into two single beds, laid out the bedding, and prepared hot water for them.
Huo Qingqing scolded her eldest brother, "You are not familiar with the terrain here. Why are you taking Mom out for a walk so late at night? What if she steps on a snake?"
Luo Anning is more afraid of snakes than Huo Qingqing. Huo Qingqing just wants to scare her mother away and tell her not to wander around the village. She can see that her mother is worried about her and is thinking about going to the educated youth compound to inquire!
She must not be allowed to go to that place. Huo Qingqing also warned her eldest brother not to take her mother to the educated youth compound.
Sure enough, Luo Anning's face turned bad and he asked, "Are there many snakes here?"
Huo Qingqing said seriously, "A lot, especially in this season."
“…”
Han Jianwu glanced at Huo Qingqing and said nothing. In fact, there are not so many of those things in recent years, and they are even rarer in the village.
Huo Qingqing and her eldest brother looked at each other and said, "Big brother, you and Jianwu will sleep on the bed in the small room, and mom, I and the babies will sleep on the kang."
Huo Qingming, "The guest should follow the host's wishes."
The two kids were so excited that they made a fuss until most of the night before they fell asleep. Huo Qingqing felt sorry for their mother's fatigue from the journey and was worried that she wouldn't sleep well. Luo Anning looked at the two kids' sleeping faces curiously, thinking about some worries, and fell asleep while thinking.
The next day, after breakfast, I went to visit my sister's house. This sister is the most important person to Han Jianwu. She is three years older than him and he was almost raised by her. For Huo Qingqing, Han Chun'e is her benefactor.
Han Jianwu had never seen his mother, but he heard from the villagers that Han Chun'e looked very much like his mother. After meeting Han Chun'e, Luo Anning's troubled heart finally relaxed a little. Han Chun'e was a gentle woman, kind but not saintly. She managed to live a decent life by budgeting carefully, but she did not have the shrewdness and calculation of her mother.
Luo Anning gave each of Han Chun'e's two children 50 yuan in red envelopes and food coupons, which was already a huge sum of money.
Huo Qingming brought a camera and took a lot of photos of them these days, especially the two cute kids.
