Tian Wenjun put the envelope on the table and said, “Mom and Dad, you must accept this money.
If you don’t accept it, I won’t come back.
I make 40 yuan a month, and one pound is almost 500 yuan, so I should give you 100 yuan."
Zhang Meilan said, "We have enough food and clothing at home, so there is no point in asking for this money."
Tian Wenjun hugged Zhang Meilan's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Grandma, I don't care, you must accept it."
Wang Yulian said, "You take it, we don't want it."
"Oh, grandma..."
Tian Wenjun acted coquettishly and made Zhang Meilan laugh continuously.
Zhang Meilan's weathered hands gently stroked Tian Wenjun's head. She hoped that her little girl would never grow up.
But now, the girl has grown up and has a family.
All they can do is take care of themselves and not hold the girl back.
Tian Wenjun stayed here for two or three hours before going home.
The next morning, He Damei did not go out to work. She took out all the dirty clothes in the house and threw them by the river. She spent the whole morning washing clothes.
After washing the clothes, He Damei hung them all on the wire.
After the members finished their work in the afternoon, Chen Baoguo was not in a hurry to go home.
He stayed and went back with Chen Dazhuang and Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang asked, "Why didn't your wife come down from the field today?"
"We are leaving tomorrow, and she is packing at home today."
Chen Dazhuang didn't know the reason and asked in shock: "What did you say? You want to be a traitor?
You just finished your wedding, and she is in a hurry to go back to her parents' home?"
"Where does she work?"
Chen Dazhuang really didn't know that He Damei had a job.
Chen Baoguo said: "With my sister-in-law, in their state-owned restaurant in the county town."
"What? This is a trivial job.
Others go to work, so why are you staying there?
Are you just staying by her side?"
"I work there too."
"What?"
When Chen Dazhuang shouted, several pheasants on the ridge of a field not far away were startled and flew up.
Zhang Qiang scratched his ears and said, "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
"No, he's already at work. Aren't you a little surprised?"
Chen Dazhuang looked back and forth at the two men's faces before he reacted.
"Fuck, you don't know that already, do you?"
Zhang Qiang looked at Chen Dazhuang as if he were an idiot, and Chen Dazhuang gritted his teeth in hatred.
He pinched Zhang Qiang's neck and said, "Tell me, when did you know?"
Zhang Qiang pretended to be out of breath and said, "I also found out a few days ago."
After hearing this, Chen Dazhuang let go of Zhang Qiang.
"You are so unreliable. I am the last one to know about such a big thing. I want to break up with you."
Zhang Qiang said: "You should break up with me right now."
Chen Dazhuang kicked Zhang Qiang on the butt.
Chen Baoguo watched the two men making a fuss. After a while, they finally collapsed and sat down on the edge of the field.
Chen Dazhuang looked at the burning clouds not far away and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Chen and Auntie will help take care of you."
Chen Baoguo said: "I want to say this, I have to trouble you again.
I know my parents' personalities. They won't easily cause trouble for others. I'm afraid someone is deliberately provoking them."
Zhang Qiang said: "Don't worry."
Chen Baoguo looked at the two men and didn't know what to say to express his gratitude.
Later, the three of them sat for a while and went down the mountain with the help of the fiery clouds in the sky.
Tian Wenjun and He Damei packed up their things.
Zhang Cuiying came back to knead the dough and wanted to fry some pancakes for them.
He Damei said, "Mom, there's no need to fry them. They will go bad easily in such hot weather."
Zhang Cuizhen said, "I'll fry some for you so you don't have to starve on the train."
Seeing that she insisted, He Damei did not stop her.
When I go into the city tomorrow, I will bring some snacks for Liye and Xiaolan. They are away from home and don’t know when they will be able to come back.
After frying the pancakes, Zhang Cuiying felt empty inside.
After she wrapped their blankets, she stood in the yard for a while.
Wang Yulian also fried some pancakes for Tian Wenjun.
These children will be waiting at the village entrance at six o'clock tomorrow morning for a passing bus. They will send her off at the village entrance tomorrow morning.
Wang Yulian lay on the bed, staring empty-eyed above her head, and she let out a long sigh.
Tian Erhu couldn't sleep either. He took a deep breath and asked, "Why are you still sighing?"
“I’m thinking about our daughter.
You said, if I am pregnant, I can give her a brother or sister so that she can have someone to care about.
Now that she wants to leave, I feel so empty inside. "
"Alas, the child has grown up."
"Give her the money and put it in the pancake tomorrow."
Tian Erhu said: "Keep it and give it to her when the child comes back next time.
If you give it to her tomorrow morning, she will be worried on the way."
Wang Yulian took a deep breath and said nothing more.
That night, both adults suffered from insomnia.
The next morning, they packed their things and appeared at the village entrance on time.
Chen Kaifang and his wife helped carry things to the village entrance.
Zhang Cuiying said, "Damei, I packed some dried wild vegetables for your parents. Nothing has come down in the past two days, and there is nothing valuable at home.
When you get home, remember to buy some supplements for your parents."
He Damei said: "No need to bring mom, we have everything over there."
Chen Kaifang said to Chen Baoguo: "Remember what your mother said. When you get a job there, you have to make your brother proud. Do you understand?"
"I know, Dad. I'll go back to work."
Chen Kaifang added: "Be nice to Damei."
"knew."
Tian Wenjun smiled aside. She heard a sound coming from the road not far away. She turned around and saw her parents carrying a basket and walking towards the village entrance.
Wang Yulian said, "Girl, wait for me and your dad, we are here to take you away."
Tian Wenjun smiled towards them, and suddenly her eyes turned red.
"Why are you here?"
"We are here to take you there. I fried some fried dough cakes for you to eat on the way."
Tian Wenjun said: "Mom fried a lot of oil cakes last night and packed a lot for us."
Wang Yulian took out an oil-paper bag from the basket and said, "I have packed it for you, just take it.
By the way, I also fried a bag of pork for you."
Wang Yulian seemed to be smiling, but she was actually in pain.
Every time he sent his daughter off, they would see each other less often.
She felt sad, but didn't want her daughter to see them sad.
The old couple were both holding on.
Tian Wenjun held the two oil-paper bags in her arms and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mom."
Wang Yulian had a lot to say, but the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them.
Not far away, the sound of a car honking was heard. Wang Yulian panicked and grabbed Tian Wenjun's empty hand tightly with both hands.
Tian Wenjun froze, and Wang Yulian's eyes became moist.
"Girl, remember to write to me and take care of yourself over there."
Tian Wenjun pursed her lips and hugged Wang Yulian tightly.
