Chapter 16 16. Second Aunt Ning

Xiashan Village, as the name suggests, is a village at the foot of the mountain.Xiashan Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, very close to Baiyan Mountain of Taoism.

There are hundreds of households in the village, which can be considered a big village.

Most people in the village are divided into three surnames, Zhang, Ma, and Ning. Ma is the most common surname in the village.A hundred years ago, Xiashan Village was also called Majiacun. Later, more people moved in, and Majia Village was changed to Xiashan Village.

Turn along the gravel road and turn into the dirt road, and walk for about ten minutes to Xiashan Village.

There are two tall white-bark pines growing side by side at the entrance of the village, and many villagers gathered under the trees chatting and chatting.

Several women in their 40s and [-]s gathered together, eating melon seeds and chatting.

"Hey!? Look, are the Ning family father and son over there?"

"Yo! That's right, it's been more than ten days since I've been there!?"

"What more than ten days, I remember clearly, I went out on NO.12 last month. It's over the moon today, it must be more than 20 days."

"Oh?! You see, they came back with a doll."

"Yo? Didn't old man Ning go to Haishi to find his daughter? Why did he find a baby?"

"From Ma San's family, move fast, go back and tell Second Granny Ning that her old man and son are back!"

"Alas!" A young woman in a blue floral blouse turned around and ran towards the village.

This Masan's family is famous for its loud voice, they ran all the way and yelled all the way, and within a short time, almost half of the people in the village knew that Ning Laoer had returned from Haishi.

As soon as Ning Hongfu entered the village with his son and granddaughter, he was surrounded by a group of villagers at the entrance of the village.

"Hey! Second Uncle Ning, are you back?"

Ning Hongfu withdrew his smile and greeted the villagers. "Yeah, I'm back."

"How many days have you been here? The sea city is really far away!"

"Second Uncle, who is this baby? It's from your family!? She looks really juicy."

"Oh? Why is the child still injured? Didn't he fall on the road?"

"Second Grandpa, what good things did you bring back from Haishi?"

"Hey, this bag still has a lock. What valuables are hidden?"

The fire of enthusiastic gossip about the name of the village was blazing, and you asked me one by one, wishing that Ning Hongfu would explain the whole journey to them in detail.

Ning Hongfu has long been accustomed to the overly warm welcome from the nostalgia, the smile on his face remains the same, and his mouth is perfunctory.

Ning Cheng picked up Ning Qiu, and hurried home with his father.

At this moment, the daughter-in-law of Ma San's family rushed into the yard at the east end of the village, screaming at the top of her voice.

"Second aunt, his second aunt, Second Uncle Ning is back!"

Zhu Ximei, who was pasting pancakes in the kitchen, threw away the rag in her hand and walked quickly to the yard.

"What did you say?! People are back?"

Ma Sanjia supported his waist with one hand, panting heavily.

"Isn't it? Seeing Second Uncle Ning and Chengzi walking towards the entrance of the village, they still have a baby with them."

"Baby? What baby?"

"Mom, what's the matter, are father and Chengzi back?" A daughter-in-law in her 20s came out of the room.

"That's right," Ma San's family yelled, "Your Chengzi has also returned, and he has a baby with him!"

The young daughter-in-law looked confused, "Mom, let me go and have a look."

"Oh, go quickly."

Before I walked out of the courtyard, I saw my father-in-law and my husband coming from the road, and the husband was actually holding a baby in his arms.

Seeing his daughter-in-law, Ning Cheng quickly took two steps.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back."

Of course Zhang Heping was happy to see her husband come back, but when she saw the child in his hand, she frowned again.

"This child is..."

Ning Hongfu walked to the side, "Go in and talk."

The family entered the yard, closed the gate, and blocked Ma San's family from the door.

Looking at the closed courtyard door, Ma Sanjia muttered.

"What are you talking about, the gate of the courtyard has to be closed in broad daylight." With a snort, he reluctantly left.

The family sat in the main room, the two men looked conflicted and didn't know how to start.The two women stared at the strange girl who suddenly appeared, with uncertain expressions on their faces.

"What's going on here? You were asked to find your daughter, why did you find a baby girl?" Zhu Ximei asked her wife with a straight face.

Ning Hongfu wiped his face vigorously, as if mustering up his courage, and then said.

"Our daughter died of illness..."

Zhu Ximei was taken aback for a moment, then stood up abruptly, raised her hand and hit the old man on the shoulder.

That was a real fight, the muffled sound made people feel chills.

Cursed in his mouth, "You old bastard, I think you are confused! You curse my daughter, do you still think about it!!"

Ning Cheng immediately went to stop him, but his old mother was too fierce, and as a son, he didn't dare to stop him with his own hands, so he could only stand in front of his father.

"Mom! Don't blame dad!! My sister was killed by the family named Shen!! I really don't blame dad!!"

Ning Cheng's daughter-in-law also helped to pull, "Mother, let dad finish talking! Mother!"

Panting heavily, Zhu Ximei pointed at Ning Hongfu. "Today, tell me clearly!! If you can't explain clearly, let's not live this day!!"

Ning Hongfu lowered his head and put his hands on his knees vigorously.Even if you can't see the expression, you can hear full of regret from his words.

After listening to the old man explain everything in detail, Zhu Ximei sat back on the stool.His face was pale, his eyes were straight, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Zhang Heping next to her also stared wide-eyed, she thought that sister-in-law went to the city to enjoy life, but she didn't expect this to happen.

For a long time, no one spoke in the main room, and the silence was a bit scary.

Ning Hongfu felt something was wrong and looked at his wife.Seeing her still sitting like that, staring at her eyes, her eyes were dull.

"Fucking child, you..."

"Mother..." Ning Cheng also noticed something strange, and stepped forward to shake his old lady's arm.

But Zhu Ximei remained the same, motionless.No matter how the people around me yelled, they couldn't seem to hear them.

Ning Hongfu became anxious, "You are talking, you hit me! You scolded me! I admit it!! Don't hold back!!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Ximei closed her eyes and threw her head on the ground.

"mother!!"

"Fucking child, what's wrong with you!!"

"Quick! Brother Cheng! Send mother to the clinic!" Among the people in the main room, Zhang Heping was calm.

"Alas!" Ning Cheng carried Zhu Ximei on his back and walked out.

"Father! You stay to watch the house. The two boys will be back in a while. Brother Cheng and I can go!"

Ning Hongfu followed to the door, although he really wanted to go, but Qiu'er was still at home, so he couldn't leave the child alone.

"Okay, be careful!"

"Ugh!"

Ning Hongfu stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at his son running away with his wife on his back, he lost his mind for a moment.

Fog formed in his eyes, blurring his eyes.He quickly wiped it off, and still stood there, staring in that direction.

Ning Qiu watched quietly from the sidelines the whole time, until grandma was carried to the village health center by her uncle, and then she walked to grandpa's side.

Noticing that there were a few villagers outside the courtyard looking over their heads, she pulled Laning Hongfu and yelled.

"grandfather."
